Friends heightened the flow of emotion back and forth across the playing fields and were certainly important to suc¬ cessful parties. Could it be social life was more impor¬ tant than the classroom? Afterall, our friends encouraged us to follow our career dreams, and it was the moments shared around a bonfire or shared with that spe¬ cial someone during dates which linger in our minds. Many believe we learned just as much outside the classroom as inside. Yes, social life drove our actions, the way we dressed, the way we acted, the very way we learned.

Just can’t get enough pride “I couldn’t believe that it was my name they an¬ nounced as queen. It’s a moment in my life I will al¬ ways cherish and never for¬ get.” — Shannon Dunbrack H omecoming Spirit Week kicked off the festivities with the theme “Spirit of ’87”. This theme not only reflected the spirit of the school, but also helped celebrate the 200th an¬ niversary of the Constitution. During the week, all four classes par¬ ticipated in lunchtime and hall decorat¬ ing contests and raised money by con¬ tributing to United Way and buying spirit links. The band, candidates, and sports teams marched in the parade, as the juniors and seniors displayed floats. At the rally, students participated in pie¬ eating and hoola-hoop contests. After the tally of the float, effigy, United Way, and spirit link contests, Mr. Se- menik announced the winner. For the first time in their high school career, the seniors placed first in Spirit Week, win¬ ning the McDonald’s Spirit Trophy. After the rally, students gathered to enjoy the burning of the effigies at the bonfire. Student Council President Denise Chrien stated, “I think everything ran smoothly and I was very ex¬ cited that the seniors finally won Spirit Week!” Before the game, 1986 Homecom¬ ing queen, Brit Dietrichs, crowned her heir, Shannon Dunbrack. The Bees battled the Strongsville Mustangs in a close game. Although the Bees pre¬ sented a great effort, the Mustangs were victorious with a score of 34-31. Tri-Captain Todd Appulese explained, “It was an offensive showdown. We really needed a big play on de¬ fense, but unfortunately it wasn’t our night.” — Jennifer Buckloh and Nancy Bohl Members of the girl’s volleyball team ride in the Homecoming Parade. Fall sports teams, floats, and the Homecoming candi¬ dates joined the Medina Musical Marching Bees in the caravan. Senior Candy Depew participates in the balloon toss, one of the many lunchtime contests.
