Village Green puls in many hours practicing and rehearsing for plays and concerts. Here they prepare for their Spring Concert. The Orchestra goes to many group and individual competitions where the majority receive irsl division ratings. They are preparing for the Solo Ensemble estival. Practice pays off Pride at GHS is instilled by the many hours of practicing, rehearsing or studying spent by the students. Evidence of their dedication is seen in all that they do, from a Math test to the State Finals. Athletics are an area where the benefits seem to be most obvious. The Boys Varsity Basketball team radices a minimum of 225 ours a season, starting with the last day of school. Most of the team continues on through the summer. Practice paid off for the Girls Golf and Track teams this year with both earning their way to the State Finals. Many hours of running, biking and working out, led Senior Jill Bigelow to a first place finish in the 200 meter dash at the State Class B Finals. Sports have always been an area of “practice and win” but they are not alone. The Concert Band discovered that the price of rehearsal is worth it when they received straight l’s at the State Festival in Lansing. Nearly all of the 80 members spent many hours rehearsing in class, at home and taking private lessons. Most will agree now, that it was time well spent. Practice also pays off in studying. This can be seen in the many students whose names appear each semester on the Honor Roll. This dedication to study leads to habits that extend into the student’s work environment, social activities and, for some, future college experiences. The students at GHS, through their many hours of practice, whether it be sports, academics, or extracurricular activities, contribute to a feeling of pride in a job well done. It is this almost invisible hours of effort that lead us to the perfection sought. Practice — 25

Festive evening celebrated in various ways G® ©Tamil lMffl5®®om Although tradition is present at the Junior-Senior Prom, this year the spring formal was altered. The Prom was held at JR’s Roller Castle instead of the Middle School Cafeteria. “The theme Masquerade Ball was much more affective at JR’s than it would have been in a stale smelling cafeteria,” stated Robin Matchett. Some couples went all out for Prom, such as Tim Christenson and Shawn Smith. They hired a professional photographer, rented a limousine for eight and a half hours, and ate dinner at Cygnus, a very fancy restaurant featured on top of the Grand Plaza Hotel. “I enjoy being different and since this is my last Prom, something inside me told me to go all out!” said Tim Christensen. But, money doesn’t always make the night special. Senior Vicki Meyer and Junior John Dietzel fixed a quiet dinner at Vicki’s house rather than eating at a restaurant. “Although the majority of my friends went out for dinner, 1 thought it would be more enjoyable to eat in the privacy of my home.” Indeed Prom was a spe- cial moment. Four Sophomores graciously dressed in Butler and Maid uniforms and offered satin masks for souvenirs, strawberry punch, and small appetizers. White pillars, a canvas painted drama mask, an enormous amount of black, white and silver helium balloons floated among the colored lights, while upbeat music filled the dance floor. With all of these special decorations, a romantic atmosphere had transformed a rollerskating rink into a breathtaking Ballroom. All the fun didn’t end after the Prom, as a group of Parents sponsored a Casino Night that was held from one until three. As couples entered the Community Center, each person was handed 50,000 in paper money and was invited to gamble at the blackjack tables, craps tables, poker games, and roulette wheels. After gambling for an hour, the couples were awarded a number of tickets for the percentage of money they had won. Such things as stereos, pop coolers and beach blankets were raffled off. What could be more appropriate than dancing in a castle on prom night? Disc ockey “Pep Spence Gie-sen had many couples twirling around the floor. Couples sip punch while taking a break from dancing and socializing with each other. Prom — 27
