This past year one of the newest and foremost popular forms of entertainment was renting movies to watch on a new video cassette recorder. This was a fairly inexpensive form of excitement and one that parents tended to favor because they knew exactly where their children were. Besides watching movies at home one could head to Grand Rapids, to the movie theaters, shopping malls, and maybe a restaurant. Some of the top movies were “Color Purple”, “Out of Africa”, and “Youngblood”. There were many varieties of restaurants available and different shops open. Usually a party could be found somewhere. There were always those who headed out to cruise town. Many people went to Top of the Rock, a non-alcohol serving night club for teens, to go dancing every Friday and Saturday night. School sponsored entertainment was another available means of excitement. There were three lock-ins, sporting events and banquets, the First Annual Shecky Green Memorial Skit Night, and dances, including Sadie Hawkins, Homecoming, Morp, Prom and then Casino night. Students who relied on their imagination could come up with many fun things to do. When you’re with friends anything could end up being fun. Entertainment — 15

In-School Forum a big hit On February 6, 1986 most students were excited not only because it was a half day of school, but also this day would tend not to be a “normal” day at GHS since it was In-School Forum. Student Council first began discussing the idea of In-School Forum during September at the Project Outreach and after assign- ing Mike Schmiedicke as Chairperson, it was finally completed five months later. In-School Forum was designed in order to allow students to enjoy a half day of school by offering unusual classes thus creating an interesting change. During the month of January students received a pamphlet containing information about the types of classes offered. After reading through the class descriptions students were asked to pick six classes. Some of the favorite classes chosen were such things as Massage, Wrestling, Aerobic Dancing, Philosophy, and Sailing. On the day of In-School Forum students came prepared to attend four forty minute classes in which in- structors explained to their pupils through demonstrations, actual participation and discussion groups about their subjects. By the end of the morning, students left the High School feeling enthused and excited, while Mike Schmiedike and Mr. Green felt satisfied that they had created a genuine “masterpiece.” Leg stretches were one of the many exercises performed in the In-School Forum Aerobics class.
