A huge responsibility was placed on senior Natascha Keylon when elected as Mardi Gras Chairperson. The previous year Natascha learned the ropes to pulling off one of the schools biggest events. Natascha kept busy while supervising the various student council members she assigned as chairmen of smaller groups, such as Field Day, Queen’s Court, and Spirit Week, but Natascha was the key ingre- dient in pulling them together. Natascha re- ceived a great deal of help from her enthusias- tic assistant chairman, junior Michelle Ort. “The huge success of Mardi Gras can’t go unnoticed when considering the large per- centage of students that become involved. They were what made all the work worth- while,” added Natascha. Coach Craig Dahlke addresses the Huskies in order to pump them up for the Homecoming Football game.

I lomecommg In the infamous words of Hans and Frans, “If you don ' t go to Mardi Gras, your’ missin’ out!” Mardi Gras included a week of wall building, spirit week dress up days, penny jar competition, field day events, and an immense amount of all around spirit. The quest for the barrel brought about intense challenges between all students — freshmen through seniors. But the Mardi Gras excite- ment continued from PHN to Memorial Stadium where the football game and the crowning of the queen were held. From the forty court nominees, ten ladies had the privilege of representing their grade. After the ten representatives were chosen and the court assembly was held, students in each grade elected two fresh- men, two sophomores, three juniors (due to a tie), and the traditional three seniors, one of whom would be chosen and crowned as the Mardi Gras Queen. The finalists were freshmen Sarah Chapman and Diana Coro- nado, sophomores Marci McNeil and Car- rie O ' Conner, juniors Laura Sharpe, Shawna Palmateer, and Dawn Bartrow, and seniors Andrea Lukovich, Amy McElroy, and Elizabeth Castillo. The entire student body voted for the queen, making her title even more prestigious. Excitement filled the air as the results of the election were announced during half- time at the Homecoming Football game. Mike Appel had the honors, “And the Homecoming Queen is . . . Amy McElroy!” Shouts of excitement and tears of happi- ness followed as Amy was driven around the stadium in a horse drawn carriage. The most important event of Mardi Gras was the homecoming game around which the entire week centered. The fighting Hus- kies did not let the students down as they beat the Mount Clemens Bathers in an Eastern Michigan League Championship. The victory topped off a week filled with fun and excitement!

What is happening around here? Any- thing one could imagine! Whether a student was into leadership, creativity, or sports, there was something to provide them with hours of challenging experiences and the time to spend with other students with the same interests. Leadership and intellectually stimulat- ing groups were offered. Student Council gave the chance for students to participate on a school committee, and the National Honor Society, which recognizes those who hold scholastic and leadership abilities, pre- pared members to become leaders of the world. The Quiz Bowl challenged minds which could withstand intense pressure, while the Chess Club attracted brave souls who could skillfully maneuver a war on a board. Students whose creative abilities added a splash of color to life could participate in many organizations that exercised their abilities. Band and Choir were prime choices for the musically inclined who loved to express themselves through their music. Students interested in self expres- sion became involved with the creative writing group or the yearbook staff. Flamboyant students looked into both the Drama Club and WORW. The Drama Club did many unique skits throughout the year and held its annual spring play, while the Radio Station offered students broadcast- ing and DJ experience. Then of course, for the physically fit, there were various sports throughout the fall, winter, and spring seasons. The Ski Club was for students whose hearts loved the outdoors and the feel of biting, sub-zero winds cutting into their bones. The Eques- trian Team was a great group for students who loved “to horse around.” There they are, the most happening, hap- penings. Now, could one still say that school was boring?
