‘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.

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.
