SPECIAL AMMOIIMCEMEMT HURON AREA SKILL CENTER OPENS IN SEPTEMBER In the fal1 of 1986, some of our students from North Huron High, were privleged to attend the new Huron Area Skill Center, which had been built during the spring and summer of 1986 The people who studied careers at the skill center all chose a particular trade or profession that they were interested in working in. When they completed their course successfully they were certified in their career area. This meant that they were now at job entry level. The skill center also secured job leads for those people who successfully completed a class in employability sk i 1 Is.

Everyone who attended the skill center made lots of new friends, and as the school year wore on there were less and less remarks made about whose school was best. On the negative side, however, as a result of going to the skill center, many people (especially those who attended in the afternoon) didn't get to see much of their old friends anymore. Those attending also missed out on many in-school, extra-curricular activities that went on throughout the year. Attending a skill center class meant giving up a lot, but for those who put lot of effort into their class, they received a lot in return. Jason Fligger Construction Trades, HASC NHHS Class of '87

LJ IF IP ]L] T T r TXiT r r'T? : r c r r t illj i.i i. r — V J i .. ' i 1 The 1986-87 school year was memorable both at NHHS and around the world. NATIONAL- 1986 was filled with unforgettable events. The fear of the fatal disease AIDS spread across the world. It is projected that by 1991 over five million people may carry the AIDS virus. During the summer America celebrated the anniversary of The Statue of Liberty. President Reagan was faced with the Iran scandal in which millions of dollars from an Iranian arms deal were given to rebels in Nicaragua. 1987 marked the 200th anni- versary of the Constitution. Game shows like The Wheel of Fortune (and Vanna White) have become increasingly popular. The frontrunning democrat for the upcoming '88 presidential election, Gary Hart, was forced to back out of the race because the press discovered his adulter- ous relationship with another woman. TV evangelism became the in-thing to watch, but when Jim Bakker (a leading evangelist) was discovered to be Involved in a scandal, the church was shocked and he was forced out of his position as a leader of the PTL (Praise The Lord) organization. The 1986-87 school year was a school year to remember. The addition of two spirit weeks heightened the sense of school spirit and made the year go by a lot faster. NHHS made the headlines when students picketed in support of the June 8th mi Mage election. A 2.9 mill Increase was requested, and after one defeat the school board decided that all trans- portation would be cut. Mike Viers, a concerned student, organized Students for Education. Although this second mi 11 age request was not passed, the picketers felt they had made many people stand up and take notice. The high school band received its first ever Division I rating at band festival and made school history. The band and choir also performed at the State Capitol. Both the track team and the volleyball team broke school records. Records were also broken for the number of blood donors and perfect scores on the Michigan Educational Assessment Program. The student counclI sponsored a Friday breakfast program which offered poptarts, donuts, orange Juice, and bagels. Overall 1986-87 was a year of change.
