Everybody's Business CAREFREE DAYS Monday morning was the ideal time to catch up on gossip. News of what took place over the weekend, from sports to social events, became “Everybody’s Business.” “How was your weekend? What did you do?” These were familiar terms as everyone found out what went on during the short break from school. The first few days back after a vacation were also spent discovering how each of us spent our precious free-time. “Who went where” was one of the biggest items, as we found out classmates with golden skin spent time in Florida, the Bahamas, out West or on a cruise. Vacations were spent in a variety of ways, and it soon became “Everybody’s Business” to find out how it was done. The days grew longer and as the weather became progressively nicer and warmer, it became harder and harder to sit still in class while teachers droned out lectures. We began to make plans for spending our summer days, from lying lazily on the beach as the sun baked us to putting in full time at a job. When the bell rang at the end of the last exam, students poured from the building free of it until next September. We were looking forward to those carefree days of summer. The year had ended as any other. We had experienced our good times and bad, our victories and defeats, our excitement and our boredom, all of which had eventually become Everybody’s Business.” As these seniors demonstrate, crashing in the library lo socialize or catch up on homework was an activity many students participated in. Some brave students took advantage of the chance to dress up and wear their Halloween costumes to school, udging took place during both lunches, with final winners chosen at the pep assembly. 6 — STUDENT LIFE r fr

‘THE ROARING 20’S’ Activities were held daily, ranging from a water balloon toss to a Charleston dance contest. “The Roaring 20's” was an appropriate theme for the 1986-87 homecoming. Activity week, the football game, and dance certainly gave the GHS students something to ROAR about. The week began with the announcement that Craig Averill and Beth VanHoose had been chosen King and Queen by fellow classmates. Also elected were Senior representatives, Tom Hallock and Kendra Hopkins, Junior reps Kirk Maxon and Amy Laurent and Sophomore reps Sean Mullendore and Candi Shrader. Activities were held daily, ranging from a water balloon toss to a Charleston dance contest. The competition between the three classes were competitive but the Seniors won by a large margin. A pep assembly was held prior to Friday evening’s football game with the Seniors running away with the Spirit Jug. If the tough class competition was any indication of the game’s outcome, we were destined to win! The game proved to be the highlight of the week as the Jackets defeated Bay City Handy 14-6. Bay City Handy’s only score came with less than 12 seconds left in the fourth quarter. The defense can also be credited with sacking the Quarterback eight times. “We played real hard defensively and really got after them, explained Coach Engel. Just as captivating was the halftime show. Both the GHS and Alumni bands performed for the enthusiastic crowd. The parade of class floats followed with the announcement that the Senior class had won with their theme, “Our Gang”. Most importantly, King and Queen Craig Averill and Beth VanHoose were introduced and crowned. Following the Jackets’ victorious game, a semi-formal dance was held at the High School cafeteria. Approximately 100 people turned out with several students dressing as original 1920’s flappers. The 1986 Homecoming week will be remembered as one of enthusiasm and excitement Mr. Deines got a “taste of what being assistant principal was all about. The lucky winner of the “pie in the eye raffle got to create this flavorful experience. Time to get home!
