In its sounds and lyrics it wields an un- matched power. Music can bring to- gether thousands of people from ev- ery walk of life for a common cause, whether it be for the satisfaction of attending a live performance or for the elimination of hunger in East Af- rica. Music lets us escape our every- day world. It gives us energy, peace, satisfaction, and, for some, direction linked with a philosophical avenue. Teenagers and rock music will un- doubtedly be courting one another for as long as civilization exists. Teens embrace their music with an uncomparable loyalty and zeal. But sometimes there is a need to become that music, by integrally linking it with the personality. Rock shirts, hairstyles, and rock fashion all ex- press this. To be even closer to the music, rock afficiandos must trek great distances to the far yonder mu- sic concerto or continue to meet the ever-demanding role of the rock per- former. Whatever your opinion, whatever your state of mind, music serves to combine all of us into a unique whole. It is the magnet of peace and harmony, ignoring the conflicting difference and appealing to one’s sense of common humanity. 2 7 8 RocR-N-Roll r luas :; brnoHon and axprassas a tabling likb nothing bhb can.

ILbliaf Everybody's Working For The Weekend The resources needed to fuel the life of a teenager go far beyond the limitations of al- lowance or handouts. Therefore, teens must seek to attain a per capita income enhance- ment vehicle, or simply — a job! With the influx of yankee greenbacks, the possibilities are limitless. There is, however, a severe draw- back in this means. In order to attain afflu- ence, students may have to surrender their precious weekends. “Everybody’s Working for the Weekend” is dedicated to those hard working students who have made sacrifices to get what they want. Their contributions to the economy and soci- ety as a whole are neither ignored nor unap- preciated. They have displayed dedication in- dividual initiative at an uncertain time in their lives. Both of these are indicative of the productive, responsible citizen, destined to maintain the prominent position of our great motion in the world today. 4 Taking What They're Giving Cause We're Working For A Living “Slow Rida . . . Taka It Easy! In the beginning, there was Car. Its sleek, aerodynamic frame shone brightly in the sum- mer sun. Beneath its steely skin lain a heart of pure, automotive animal. Impressive as it was, the Car meant nothing alone. The natu- ral cycles of the earth became greatly disturbed because of this. The winds gailed, the earth shook, and the sky grew dark as night. The gods were left to for- mulate a solution for this most pressing of all basic, elemental problems. Who would operate Car! A tremendous bolt of lighten- ing suddenly struck the earth. And there, in the aftermath, was Teenager. Teenager was cool. His hands hung loosely at his sides while his sharp eyes took in all there was. He saw Car. He knew. Slowly, the viser on his helmet was lowered. Teenager entered Car. The perfect match had been achieved. The forces of nature continued to escalate further un- til Teenager stuck his head out of Car and cried, “Knock it off, you morons.” Thus began with that phrase or regret the gods and other figures of authority have yet to endure. They ask, “Was Teenager essential, after all?” Essential or not, the teenager and his car are here to stay. W'hen not recklessly careening down a roadway, the average teen takes his driving nice and easy. It’s a slow ride! 4 1. Randy Griffith shows off his heap. 2. Chris Bruman Steve Stanko prac- tice car surfing. 3. Teresa Martus and her old faithful. 4. Renee Cloutier sits on her favorite crusing machine. 5. Kara Baker, Jolynn Hebberd, Paulette Thomas and Tanya Blumerich invite us for a “Slow Ride”. Dude Looks Like A Lady 1. Shawn Wells takes time to smell the roses. 2. Terry Romain shows us some hip. 3. The bathing beauties Dave Brackens, Larry Miner, Ran- dy Tyrell, Matt Leibner, and Dan Fantin show us that they are 10’s”. 4. Bob Wells debates on wether he should open the door. 5. That’s what friend’s are for? There are a group of guys in this school Who are outrageously awesome and cool. But if you were to come up behind one of them, You’d be surprised to find it’s not your girlfriend. Yeah, they got long hair and there’s nothing wrong with that. It adds flavor to the scene, like a pitbull to a cat. Said Samson Delilah on a stormy night, ‘‘My hair just ain’t for good looks; it helps me fight!” For eons after that long hair disappeared, Until the 1960’s, when our parents were getting weird. Now in the 80’s, it’s back in full force. You’ll see it in every form before it tuns its course. Spiked like a porcupine; mohawked like an Indian; Or just hanging straight down; this long hair craze is in. So to all you dudes who have long hair. You may look like ladies, but none of us really care. To roll with the good times, or not roll; that is the question. Whether tis no- ' bier in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to rock and party down against a sea of troubles, and, by opposing, end them. To dance, to listen — to the music, perchance to dream. Ay, there’s the rub, for in that moment so deathlike what dreams may come when we have discarded our simple mortality for something greater. — William Shakespeare, modified We are teenagers and our lives necessi- tate a continual momentum toward a steadfast happiness, uninterrupted by melancholy or disaster. Let the world dabble in its inomprehensible affairs; this is our time! For soon we shall have to take hold of the nation’s reins and lead it to- ward something more worthwhile. Let the good times roll. Pursue the love of life now with an unprecedented vigor, and do it in a way that seems just right. Ignore the dark, insignificant criticisms of your ways and build yourself a time to remember, to cherish. For in the years to come, may you not wish for a treasure chest of fond high school memories be- cause you have too few worthly of recog- nition. Coma On r Let Imie Good ftolU!

Well, it wasn’t until a wrell coordinated, pro-Bron- conian effort (launched by Mr. Kilbourn and Principal Schleicher) was made that the Olympic selection committee finally chose the vaunted N.B.H.S. school grounds as the birthplace of these sacred activities. The committee stressed one thing — quality. Mr. Schleicher gave the com- mittee his personal assurance. There will be quality.” And quality there was but in the North Branch tradition. The attending representatives of the committee were puz- zled to find a Powder Puff Game in session upon their arrival. Although the Seniors murdered their underclass- men rivals, the representatives just sort of chuckled and asked where the real action” was. And so it continued. There followed a series of fun, but highly un-Olympic games in which the Seniors slew all before them. The reps were getting a little upset. “Let’s knock it off, Schleicher,” one was quoted as saying. Still more innocent nonsense? Yes. A wild, uncontrolled pep assembly in the gym that left the Seniors in possession of the Victory Jug; an outrageous outdoor expose down the middle of town in which the conquering Senior float was displayed, along with the Jun- ior’s second place floate and the Sophomore’s third place entry; a dance that Saturday night; and, at the culmination, the crowning of the King and Queen, Dave Brackens and Cami Baker, respectively, completed the N.B. Homecoming experience. With a final “Chill out, dudes!” reply from Mr. Schleicher, the heated, disillusioned reps left the scene of (their words) “The Great Olympic Crime.” BILLY GOAT GRUFF the BRONCOS T Uf “Life In The Fast Lane . . Surely Makes You Lose Your Mind! Reflections on Seniorism . . . The classic 1960’s response: “Hey, man, it’s the Establishment. Yeah, we gonna raise some $ !% around here, and when we do it’s gonna change the world. Thumbs down, Vietnam! Thumbs up to legal pot! The classic 1970’s response: “Donny Osmond. Richard Nixon. Cheech and Chong. Watergate. High in- flation.” Gee, guys, look what we can look forward to. Gosh. Is it as real as Coke, after all?” The classic 1980’s response: “Judging from the current socio-eco- nomic climate, it is my determination that the prospects for career advancement are greater now than at any other time in our nation’s history.” It’s clear. Today’s senior has the edge. We’re innovative, intelligent, and, gener- ally, consider ourselves superior to com- paritive historical examples of the twelfth graders in excelsis. But does it end at bril- liance? $ ! % no! Seniors are witty, fun, individualistic, perfectionistic, creative, energetic, cul- tured, sophisticated, and at the end of a long academic adventure. To be a senior is to experience one of early life’s greatest thrills. It means, most of all, reaching the point of one’s life when the freedom and great opportunity are at hand. And per- haps, too, it means realizing too late how close-knit friends really are.

Sometimes it seems like it would take a miracle before everything will return to normal. Just knowing you’re a senior usually helps a little. No matter how bad the situation is, the seniors always get back on top of things. 1. Devon White wonders why Dan Klauka is being a sourpuss. 2. What is Suzi Berg and Ralph Deshetsky doing to Dave Brackens? 3 Mike Powers is caught red-handed in the cash box. 4. Linda Linck puckers, awaiting a kiss. 5. Is Dan Fantin possessed? 6.

Skiing, swim- ming, dancing, and soaking in the jacuzzi were just a few activities that they enjoyed. The break from school was I relaxing, enjoyable, and unforgettable. Naughty 'Naughty!'' Every now and then, the mature, well-behaved sen- iors feel a little “stir crazy . When this happens, watch out, because they not only go crazy, they get naughty! They might even get brave enough to, gasp, walk the halls without a yel- low pass. Some have tried to escape by climbing out of the windows, while others, as Lori Brock proves, use money to get what they want. Whatev- er the cause, there is no denying the fact that the seniors are “Naughty Naughty”! 1. Who are you flirting with, Chip? 2. David, how come you look so guilty? 3. We have always wondered about Paul and Dan. 4. Put that money hack, Lori, it isn’t yours! 5. Shouldn’t you be paying attention to Mr. Schuneman, Julie? 6.

A good time — everyone has their own definition, whether it be socializ- ing at a party with friends or going out with your hun. One thing everyone can agree to is that school gets boring and very tedious. Making sure the whole school has “Nothin’ But a Good Time” was a senior duty, one they all fulfilled. Even through the bad times they always tried to make the most of any situation. They always knew how to have fun, and fun they had! After all, having a good time is a very important part of senior life. A Good Tima Everyone recognizes and appreciates the obvious challenge of academic as- signments. But there is, of course, something more grueling that a student can endure. He can take on the ultimate challenge — athletic competition. Every year, a new generation of Bronconians step forward to endure the brutal punishment of football, to meet the demands of fluidity and skill on the basketball court, to fulfill the metaphysical demands of volleyball, to try to overcome the infinite goals of track, and to plot the defensive strategies and drives in the volatile baseball softbail playing environment. Athletics combine together the whole spectrum of human states. One’s emo- tions, instincts, body, and mind must be forced to peacefully and efficiently operate as a whole in order to achieve excellence. It takes dedication, discipline, and an immense amount of time and effort. Thank you for going to the trouble, Bronconian jocks. Your performances is always appreciated! Varsity Football 1.

All of their hard work paid off when they took third place in the Kingston competition. They also did a good job of encouraging the football and basketball teams to a victory. 35 Varsity Boys Do The Top Row; Chip Hutchins, Steve Lovasz, Larry Hebbard, Joel Ross, Tony Fantin, Coach Mike Groce, Bottom Row; Wayne Thibodeau, Ralph Deshetskv.

From out of the depths of North Branch’s faceless mobs there arose an elite group of dedicated athletes, des- tined to orchestrate the single greatest volleyball campaign in the world histo- ry. They would, as one prominent phi- losopher observed, “Bop until they dropped.” The volleyball team did well this year. Overall, they won twenty-one games and lost seven others. In league play they were 5-2, giving them third place. The team captain, Erica Nellen- ' bach, led the team in serves, achieving 397 successful serves out of a total of 423 for a total accumulation of 275 points.

Wa'vs Got The Beat! mm The life of a cheerleader is full of excitement, and there are many rewards. The cheerleaders are an asset to our school, because they spread spirit and cheer our team to victory. Don’t be mistaken to think that cheerleading is always glam- orous, because there is a lot of hard work involved. Be- sides cheering at games and pep assemblies, they have competitions to attend. At the Kingston Competition, the varsity squad placed first, and Tammy Meredith came in third for the “Miss Cheerleader” competition. They also participated in the National Competition, which was held in Nashville, Tennessee. Captain Kelly Hayes received the coach’s award and the most valuable member award.

Jeff Gould was very active in the field, coming up with many spectacular plays from his 2nd base position. The year was highlighted by a sec- ond place finish in the Sandusky Tournament. Also a strong finish with wins over Lakers, Brown City, and Capac, and a close lose to an ex- perienced Cass City team, makes fu- ture prospects for success very bright.

Overall the team fin- ished 8 and 12. In the league they were 4 and 9. The binding inspira- tional personality of the team was Mona Ludwig. For instance, she displayed uncommon valor on the softball diamond when the oppos- ing Vassar team began using mor- tar fire to wipe out the Bronconian outfield. Mona rallied her broken comrades and North Branch went on to win the game. Its been quite a year, folks. Better luck next year.

I got the tapes and illegal surviellance to prove it! Juniors, hah! Everyone of ’em bears resemblance to Lenin. “Wait! Genetics! Yes, genetic warfare by the Soviets! It’s a commie cloning plot!” Thanks, Joe. Next! During the 1960’s, by Janice Joplin during a peace concert: “We love the juniors, saints of world balance. Love for the juniors, oh yeah. They’re really cool .. . Peace .. . Peace on earth! Love for the juniors .. . Oh, yeah.” During the 1980’s by Rambo: “Uh, juniors? Lemme see. Oh, yeah. Now I remember. Ac- cording to Webster, later ammended by the Department of Education, a junior is “the things that will be senior after being sophomore.” Is that a direct quote, you side of beef? “Yeppers!” So much for historical documentation. What is a junior? A junior is a student who has it all. He can discern a definite end to his high school adventure and yet he has time to prepare for his ultimate expulsion from American academia. Juniors are in the blossoming stages of excellence. They dis- play remarkable signs of intellectual and emotional maturity. Juniors are on the cutting edge of humanoidal advancement, unmatched in their potential to excel beyond the normal boundaries of societal expectations. Good luck, juniors!

Ok, you caught me! I thought the sign said guys.” Friends are a large part of high school life, no matter what your age. A lot of times the emotional pressures of the teen years would be unbearable without your friends there to lean on.

Causing trouble while staying on the good side, was quite a task. Understanding their viewpoint is quite simple when you stop and realize that their long-awaited “Senior year” is not far from becom- ing a reality.

(Students Against Drunk Driving) tries to keep us alive and off the roads during moments of alcoholic excess. Their Project Graduation is attempting to achieve these same aims. The Jazz Band and the Drama Club advance the integration of performing and musical art into Bronconian culture.

The Band Letter Club and the National Honor Society recognize outstanding students and musicians. The Future Farmers of America (FFA) advances the state of agricultural excel- lence in North Branch through the exposure of its members to educational opportunities. Student Council is the representative decision-making body of all N.B.H.S. students. The Publications class produces student literature such as this yearbook, the junior high yearbook, the sports programs, and the vaunted school newspaper. Of course, the plethora of activities that allow our behavioral inhibitions to be set free (resulting in animalistic behavior and instinctual spontaniety) must be mentioned. These include homecoming, snowcoming, and the prom.

For a week before hand, each class had met in secret to build their class floats. In keeping with the theme, which was fairy-tales, the sopho- mores’ float was Pinnochio, the jun- iors’ float was Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, and the seniors chose Billy Goats Gruff. The Seniors won the powder-puff game with an awesome score of 20-0 (thereby whomping on the juniors) and also presided over the morning spirit activities, which included such things as strange relay races. The day was topped off with a parade through North Branch, led by the band. The floats were judged and it was found that the seniors won that too! I Lova A Parada I 1.

They told us we would be “helping those less fortunate than ourselves in the true holiday spirit.” So we all pitched in fifty cents and a can of string beans, expecting another boring benefit as- sembly. Boy, were we wrong! No sooner had we made ourselves comfortable in the spacious gym than twenty turkeys made their way in to do the strangest dance we’d ever seen — the turkey trot! It was nothing like the funky chicken or even the fox trot; it was a whole new breed of dancing. The birds would take a step forward, two steps back, a funny little twist to the side, and then — PLOP — sit down. We’d never laughed so hard, the tur- keys had never been so scared and the gym had never smelled so bad! But in the end, the brunt of such mockery were the heroes of the day; those brave little turkeys sacrificed their lives and, with our quarters and string beans, provided plenty of Christmas dinners to needy families. 1. Kim Berry and Jessica Weiler prepare Mother Turkey for her race. 2. The turkey moves faster when there isn’t someone riding on its back. Sandy! 3. The heat is on as the contestants prepare for the next race. 4. Rod Gordon looks on as Pat Henne struts his stuff as Turkey of the Day. 5. Kris Kikulski concentrates on finding the shortest route to the finish line as his partner Pat Kelley wonders how they’re going to get all the turkey poop off of the gym floor! 6. “UH-UH-UH-ANIMAL!!” 76 Publications The publication of this yearbook is entirely due to this group of imaginitive individuals and their sponsor, Mr. Henne. Thanks to their incentive, the Bronco Beat, a newsletter for students regarding school news, was published every two weeks for the first part of the year.

Thanks to our Bands’ many endeavors, both here and abroad, North Branch has been “put on the map”, so to speak, as a small town with a lot of big tal- ent. The Band Letter Club, the gov- erning body, sort of holds the bands together and makes the vital deci- sions. The Jazz Combo is basically out for fun, but when it comes time to perform, they appear the very para- gon of professionally.

Teachers strain their minds to come up with students who are most worthy of recognition in each department. Students who were in National Honor Society receive gold cords to wear on their gowns denoting their high honors. Students who had above a 3.0 grade point average received hon- ors and wear blue and white cords. Also given out are academic awards in Math, Science, and En- glish, athletic excellence awards and the Teacher of the Year Award. 1. Julie Hammer, Jim Gleeson, Jim Griffin, Steffan Alfredsson, Matthias Liebner, Erica Nellcnbach, Chip Hutchins, Pat Henne, Tammy Gleesson, and Laura Rhulman receive academic awards. 2. Juniors receive their science department honors. 3. Tim Zeeman receives Teacher of the Year Award. 4. Mr. Shadley hands out math department awards. Cold A s lea For the selected members of the snow- sculpting crew, the day began at the crack of dawn. Fifteen members of each class arrived at the school at 7:00 am dressed in the vogue of outdoor winter finery, ready to create works of art. The air was bitter cold, but the artists, undaunted, surged forward, wielding spray bottles of water and shovels. After four hours of hard work and 642 cups of hot chocolate, three undisputed master- pieces emerged and the artists began to thaw. 1. In a frenzy, Michelle Filkins loses all perspec- tive of patience and de- tailing and blindly shovels snow in all directions. 2. Mike Fantin boogies a little to keep himself warm. 3. Scott Reynolds and Jodi Gillette show off the Juniors’ finished product. 4. Rick Primeau and Jeff Edwards think it’s real funny when Kristine De- shetsky makes a popsicle of their buddy. 5. Sandy Porritt finds no humor in sitting in a snowbank. 6. Ralph Deshetsky and John Repic are in love [with a cold-hearted wom- an. Thu Snowcorrring Court 1.

The night proved to be a romantic one as couples enjoyed themselves dancing and socializing. Around 9:00, a hush fell over the audience as the lights went up and the crown dangled precariously and tantalizingly above the heads of five contestants. When it was finally placed on Dan Fantin, a sigh ran through the crowd and applause broke out as Dan and Nora danced the honorary King and Queen’s dance. As the lights once again dimmed, everybody “found someone” to dance with and the fun resumed. Time 1. No! for the first time in her life, Maureen Murphy prelend� to take notes. 2.

Maureen watches Teresa Rogers feet 5. I .is® helps Pat powder his nose v Pat runs from the dreaded administration. 7. Marlon and the Wild Ones jam to “He's a Brute . . . And Time . . There was a stillness in the au- ditorium on opening night as the curtain rose and the stage came to life with the talents of NBHS students performing “Time .. . and Time . .. Again”. Pat Henne played the lead, Vic Ames, who accidentally goes back in time to the 1950’s, and meets his parents and tries to make them fall in love. After practically destroying all chances of his parents ever fall- ing in love, things finally work out (where else but) the Senior Prom. With the guidance of Mr. and Mrs. Turner, the students got their parts down pat and were ready to sing, dance, and act like they never had before by curtain time on March 25 ... and that’s exactly what thev did. 1. Venus DiMulligan explains to Lisa Huntly that if she doesn't remove the mud pack soon her jaw will “crack like a walnut . 2. Quite a wild looking hunch! 3. “Vic tries to convince “Wolf to ask her mother to the prom. 4. Check out those sexy legs! 86 This year the SADD chapter in our school sponsored an activity that we could all relate to and en- joy. They brought a local band. Destiny to our school for two rea- sons. One was to entertain us, the other was to deliver a message re- garding substance abuse and driv- ing drunk. This message seemed to hit more than any other delivered yet regarding this subject . . . perhaps because the group is so close to our age and we could relate to them better. At any rate, a lot of people showed up and found it worth their while. 1. Feeding time! 2. Do the bunny hop . .. 3. Uh oh . . Deann ate too much again!. 4. Larry watches his “Angel”. 5. Sue look sexy for her favorite foreigner. 6. Don’t Scott and Jeff make a cute couple? 7. Cheesy grins! 8. Dan and Mari look lost! 9. Randy cops a squat. You're My Angai The prom is often one of the most special times one remembers in his or her high school career. Weeks before prom night, the ex- citement begins with shop- ping for formals or tuxes and begging mom, “Please, please, can I take the good car!!” When the night final- ly comes, spirits are high. Every junior and senior thinks his or her date is the most gorgeous. This year the prom was held in Lex- ington at the Lexington Country Club and the song was “Angel”. Gold and sil- ver ballons hung from the ceiling and laughter filled the atmosphere. When the last dance was over, many people found romantic soli- tude in walking along the beach in the moonlight with their “angels”. 89 From Night 1. Rod Gordon and Kelli Welke greet their fans. 2. Katrina Anderson yells at her date for break-dancing on the floor. 3. Julie Royce and Tony Fantin enjoy a quiet moment together. 4. Dee Zanetti and l rry Miner arrive and the party begins. 5.

Jill Sutter and Brian Maxwell smile while they boogie. Comments on sopho- moric animalism: From the private business sector: “Tenth graders are significant consumers of party related equipment. We’re talking party grub (food), liquid base re- freshments, lawn mowers, power tools, etc. For extra curricu- lar activities alone, sophomoric purchas- ing power contributes significantly to the national economy.” From the standpoint of national security: “It has been proven in a number of inter- national social study cases, that the exu- berance of the 10th grade American stu- dents exports a pow- erful form of pro- Western world mag- nification. It is this force that accounts for Gorbachev’s ten- dency to go Hawaiian and the Soviet pull- out from Afganistan.” From the Department of Education: “Despite an intense involvement with eu- phoria, sophomore students still contin- ue to outmatch their international coun- terparts in grades, de- gree of mental health, and the total p.s.i. achievable in a 20 man slam dance.” Unlike juniors and seniors, sophomores don’t need to contain their inherent party tendencies in order to achieve enormous personal achievement. For example, your typical all A senior can generally sustain 3 or 4 parties a week without suffering sig- nificant academic drawbacks. The typical all A sophomore can party an entire week straight and will be able to return to school on Monday as that same invincible fortress of intelligence and wisdom. It’s phenomenal. It’s unexplained. It belongs on “In Search of ... ” But, best of all, it’s true. Congratulations, sophomores, and may many a celebration you survive. Days Glory days. Yeah. You never forget them. Like that time I was siphoning gas out of your dad’s car with a garden hose, and while I was breathing in, you lit that cigarette? Son of a gun, it’s like yesterday. Or how about that time you made my dog rabid with that chemistry set concoction and he nearly killed both of us? When I recall with moment, I’m reminded of something Clyde Everett wrote once — Fond Memories of a Youthful Joy. Glory days — they’re what has made the good old days even better. I 1.

We realize it every time our writing utensil strikes a page. We feel it when we give a speech, and we KNOW it when our report cards come back to us. The fact is; N.B.H.S. students are just too much. We belong in Princeton, folks .. . Our brains make a Cray Supercomputer look like a pocket calculator. We’re ahead of our time, at least by a century or two. The sad thing about it is that America just hasn’t caught up with us yet. Did you hear that they are still trying to figure out that playground toy they call SDI? Come on, people. We’ve seen the solution lying in some wastepaper basket a hundred times over in this school. The Schultz Plan? Does anyone honestly believe that’s going to solve violence in the Gays Strip? Check our bathroom walls out some time, Mr. Secretary of State. In those infinite scribblings we have the answer. Alone, destined forever to bathe solitarily in our overwhelming genius, we stand. Sure it’s disconcerting, but somehow we must find a way to tread through this world’s ignorance and bring forth a new awakening of the mind. Drawn By: 1. Fred Hawley 2. Doug Kohns 3. Chip Hutchins 4.

Erin better pray because Mrs. Cline, our friendly French, econ., and gov- ernment teacher, is answering her prayers. 2. Mr. Groce refreshes Sheila Clou- tier’s faith in herself in his math class. 3. Jeff Bailey doesn’t have a prayer because Mr. Bechtel is roughing him up. 4. Mr. Smeznik takes time out to “sit the bench” with Maria Evans and Kristin Ream. 5. Mark looks puzzled as Mr. Quasi explains Newton’s First Law of Mo- tion. In N.B., “living on a prayer” goes for grades plus everyday life. Like it or not, students got ‘’down on their luck”; at times it was tough. For some, “it didn’t make a difference if they made it or not”, but with everyone’s help, they “gave it a shot!” “They use to make it sound so tough”, but “we’re halfway there”; “we’ll make it I swear” ... while we’re “living on a prayer!” Have you ever “Been caught at the Scene of the Crime?” If you have, then you are probably very familiar with these faces; Our Administra- tion. The Administration decides who goes to jail, (or detention; actually it is one in the same.) and who is sentenced to six, torturous hours of academic slavery. Our cousenlors help us to prepare for college by getting us some free money, and they can even help the seniors to skip a few academic classes. Actually, they help us with our trials through our future plans and our academic trifles. If you can stay away from “The Scene of the Crime” you’ll be free, but if you don’t, “You’ll be on the run . . . And Thats No Fun!!” 1. Mr. Gleeson, our Superintendent, lost 17 lbs. to raise money for SADD in their lose-a- thon. 2. Mrs. Vizard, Counselor, has all her convicts posted on the board behind her. 3. Mr. Nellenbach, Senior Counselor, takes time out to give us a wave. 4. “The Enforcers,” Principal Schleicher and Assistant Principal Kilbourn, carefully watch over the lunch room. 109 “Hey Teachers, leave us kids alone!!” This is a quote that many students would like to use every day! Some- times everything hits you so hard. Leaving, to escape all of the pressures, seems like the thing to do. Yet, you know that you have to stick it out! Teachers can be very helpful in times like these. If you ask for help, or at least give it a try, they will be there for you! Even though students may come and go, teachers do not think of us as “Another brick in the wall!” 1. Mr. Henne, an English teacher, takes time out to help Chip with a Publications layout. 2. Mr. Yoder, the American History teacher, gives us his devilish look. 3. Mr. Vonhofe keeps everyone busy with a few English notes. 4. Mrs. Newhard, our resource teacher, looks for an answer from her class. 5. Mr. Quast and Mr. Hiltunen take a break to have a chat in the Chemistry office. 6. Mr. Keldahi. our art teacher, tries to decide which paint brush to use. 7. Mrs. Letourneau, an English teacher, patiently helps Michelle Smith. H Everything in- cluding academic success is a big deal to students at N.B.H.S. Problems could be worked out with the help from our teachers, supervisors, and friends. The key to the success- ful student is communication and faithful dedication to stud- ies. Students were taught to get their priorities straight and work through the hard times with positive attitudes. So, “for- get the rough times”; “take a chance!” Hot For Taochor Students at N.B.H.S. have more appreciation for their teachers than they think they do. Our teachers not only teach us the basic math and English, but they also teach us value and the responsibility of getting things done. In the sense of the song, students are “Hot for Teacher”! 1. Mr. Shadley listens as his computer gives him some output. 2. Mr. Zeeman, “you got the look ! 3. As always, Mr. Parrott greets his future farmers with a smile. 4. Mrs. Trato peeks her head out to check for hall passes. 11J Good Vibrations 11 The 1988-87 school year was full of fun and excitement. Students were exposed to new teachers, and new rules, and new responsibilities. Stu- dents picked up good vibra- tions from teachers, which led them to follow through and achieve their goals. With the help from the whole high school staff, the school year turned to be successful and rewarding. 1. Mr. Roeske rehearses with his band for a successful concert. 2. Mr. White’s mellow personality was an encouragement to many band students. 3. Mr. Turner can not only teach algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, but he is also an ace at surfing as well. 4. First year teacher, Mr. Hiltunen, likes outdoor Michigan, biology, and chemistry.

On the eve of graduation, the class of 1988 held its final pre-commencement meeting. It is known simply as class night. Its purpose is to bond together the distinctly individual seniors into a harmonious whole. It began with the Procession- al, accompanied with the easy listening sounds of organist Marion Rowe. This was followed by Tricia Porter’s President address. The Dansforth “I Dare You” Award was presented by Robert Kilbourne. Chandra Clark and Tricia Porter sang that unforgettable favorite, “I Honestly Love You.” The D.A.R. award was handed out. Jim Butler and Erica Nellenbach were given the athletic poems. A poem which described the highlights of the senior year was read by Suzi Berg and Teresa Smith. The National Scholar Athletic Award was given to its most deserving recipient. Jan Gravlin and Jamie Hueter busted many a gut during the mock elections. The class history was told by Kelly Hayes, Tricia Porter, Mike Spencer, and Wayne Thibo- deau. But like so many good, cold bottles of Mountain Dew. this joyous occasion had to sadly end. And with tomorrow, there came a new-beginning and a long awaited end. 117 “Nothin's Gonna Stop Mow! Graduation is thought of as a welcome event. With it is the relief of all the pressure and garbage that the school year is bound to produce. No more assignments, homework, speeches, or other undesirable forms of academic challenge. It’s good that this monotony has ended and that having survived it has brought forth new opportunities. Our teachers have finished their work and the school administrators have somehow managed to keep our behavior in check (so they believe!) We’ll appreciate and miss some of these people, no doubt. But when it’s finally over, when the diplomas are at last handed out, the end is realized. It hurts some to let go and there is a longing for an everlasting unity among friends. These are vain desires, however. What was a class for 13 years is now 180 different persons, each with a unique, individual goal. And so, armed with a diploma, a scholarship, and the thoughts of the graduation night speakers, we are thrust into the naked world with nothing but potential to offer. Good luck seniors, and make the best of it! 119 £2 8 | S g § s 1 COUNTY TV Satellites, Sales, Service 4891 North Branch Rd. 313-688-3282 1V2 East Of Town % Custom Sewing ★ Fabrics - ★ Patterns Notions - Crafts grfCi D Mon. - Sat. 9 6 Fri. 9 9 JILL HURD 6003 N.

Did you know that hot, delicious McDonald’s Ham- burgers can be a part of your School Lunch Program? All your principal has to do is let us know when your school wants to hold a McDonald’s Hamburger Day and how many students will be served. Then we do all the rest. To help get things started at your school or organiza- tion, get in touch with the Store Manager here at the store. Provide him with the name, address and phone number of the principal or person in charge of your school or group. Then we’ll get to work on it. OonT LAPEER EYE CLINIC Gary Sole M.D. 1005 S.
