As in filling a vessel, drop by drop, there is at last one which makes it run over.” — James Roswell I want to dedicate this book to everyone who helped in its making. Without you and your ideas, it would not have turned out as well as it has. Although I did not grow up with a lot of you here at SHS, I feel my high school years have been the best four years I have ever had. Between a lot of friends and good times that have been shared, there are many memories left to be cherished. I will re- member them all and know they will not be forgot- ten. It seems I have lived here all my life, thanks to my friends. No matter what people say, Saugatuck is original and everyone who lives here possesses great potential. Keep your fun memories alive — and next year is going to be rowdy! f)pML ' lCJC4X� V 0Ln - With the good and the bad times, together we have learned many lessons, matured in our own ways, discovered ourselves, shared hopes and dreams, and learned what true friendship is all about. I want to give a big thank-you to those who were a part of my high school years and made them as great as they were. I love you all. -EdiUrO 4 hS7-t ?S7 Top: The 1986 Homecoming Court.

So with the good times and the laughter too; we’re going to cele- brate this party with you. Celebration ... let’s all celebrate and have a good time. “Celebration” — Kool and the Gang 7 Right: It is all smiles for the three stooges; Amie Schippa. Kristin Craw- ford, and Johnny Sanford.

Spirit was shown from Monday straight through the game on Friday. This year’s theme was “Through the Years”, and each class was able to pick their own sub-theme. Every hall was deco- rated uniquely. Juniors took first, sophomores second, seniors third, and freshmen fourth. The cheerleaders supplied games for a couple members of each class to participate in during the lunch hour every day. You can bet that the cafeteria was a bit noisy during homecoming week. Dress up days were Monday — 50’s-70’s Day, Tuesday — Nerd Day, Wednesday — Backwards Day, Thursday — Summer Day, and Friday — Orange and Blue Day. Spirit was at its peak during the pep assembly, Friday during sev- enth hour. Next to the cheerlead- ers, the seniors can really kick their legs and jump high too. Our mighty football team put up a struggle against the Allen- dale Falcons that night after the snake dance was put on by our cheerleaders. It was a rough game and the players worked very hard. However, the score ended up with the Falcons — 35, and the Injuns — 0. The Dance turned out to be a fun time for all, thanks to the Student Council. The decorations were great and so was the attendance. There you have it, spectacular Homecoming spirit for 1986!

Free time in Saugatuck, it is a contrast of ideas. From trying to find something to do in the winter to not hav- ing enough time in the sum- mer, the kids from SHS seem to pull through every year. Whether they are at the beach during the summer, downhill skiing in the win- ter, cruising the town on a hot summer night, or spend- ing a night at the movies in December, we always do it with style.

Michi- gan is now in the midst of a two-year Sesquicten- nial Celebration. Around the state, Michiganians will cele- brate the two-year fight for state- hood. Here at Saugatuck the Home Ec.i Class participated in the celebration by mak- ing a birthday cake, which the whole school was invited to share. The junior high helped by raising our flag and Mr. Bagierek drafted a Michigan trivia game for the community. TV SHOW MOVIE 1. Cosby Show 1. Top Gun 2. Moonlighting 2. Platoon ACTOR ACTRESS 1.

The Bob Jennifer Dickie was the 1986-87 recipient of the DAR Good Citizen Award. She demonstrated the qualifying qualities throughout the year of; dependability, leader- ship, service and patriotism. She was well deserving of the award as she was involved with many school organizations and activi- ties. ’KZduOWXK TKlf t Uf Forty-three seniors were loaded into a school bus at 11:00- pm on graduation night. They had no idea where they were going or what they were going to do. It was all a big mystery. Everyone was waiting in anticipation as the bus left the school. The first stop was near Oval Beach at the camp where a dance awaited them, with two D.J.’s from WKLQ. After everyone had boogied their socks off, they got back on the bus and headed toward their next destination .. the Dow Center. There everyone was refreshed by fun and games in the pool. From there they ate pizza and had a video and slide show of past years of growing up, which everyone really enjoyed. It was now about 6:00am and everyone was getting tired, but there was one final destination, a ride on the ferry boat. The seniors were served breakfast on the boat and everyone tied a name tag onto a helium balloons which were released into the clear morning sky. Throughout the evening prizes were given away to all seniors and overall it was a great time; and event that was hoped to be continued during upcoming graduations and well worth it. Thanks very much to STOP (Super Team of Parents) who planned the whole event.

The populatioin, black and white lived in peace and harmony, equality was evident despite color, sex, and creed. The fields of Ethiopia were dense with heavy crops and famine stricken families had food in their pots. How Far Does It Go? Arms for Iran, release of hos- tages for us, and aid for the Contras.

A Dream I dreamt that every prison cell was totally de- serted, free from killers, rapists, thieves, the sick and the perverted. There was no fear of nuclear war as the world was free of weapons, there was no button to be pushed by some lunatic or cretin. Respect was held for disabled beings, the crippled, blind and mute. Terrorists ceased their deadly deeds in Ireland and Beirut. Such visions were a pleasure and as real as they might seem, I I and realized painfully, it could only be a dream.’ — Debbie Bunker ght Amazing Fli the w ueling took ick Kutan irld flight without stopping 11 days for Jeena Yeager n the Voyager.

We’re very glad to know you We’ll miss you when you’re gone And to the class of ’87 We dedicate our Prom. The juniors dedicat- ed this poem to the se- niors as one of their many farewells. The 1987 Prom will be one always remembered. It was held at Point West on Saturday, April 25th at 8:00 p.m. The warm glow of the fireplace and the closeness on the dance floor gave the atmosphere a touch of class and friendship. 4 Upper left: Nick Preston and Janie Martinez show how good they look even though Nick seems to be a bit camera shy.

My day consisted of getting up at 8, hitting the beach at 2, leaving at 8, eating dinner at 10, and partying until 2. Although it seems like a sort of heaven, speaking Spanish all day required a lot of study and energy. I suggest that everyone go to Europe. It’ll broaden your horizons, increase your knowledge of different cultures and you’ll learn a lot about yourself.” Maura Barclay 28 Activities Top Left: Amy Rudich stayed with the Mathesen's in Norway.

She is keeping in touch with her host family and hopes they can come to the states and visit. Below: “My trip to the West Bank was the most eye opening experience of my life.

The team was hurt by a lack of players and injuries that plagued the team. With only two or three people on the sidelies, everyone counts. In our victories, the scores were easily in our favor, but teams with fresh substitutes are hard to beat. The team had the spirit, but it was a tough year for the Varsity Indians. Making the 1986 WMAA All-League Team were John Balmer, Jack Cribb, Doug Hedglin, John Sanford, and Kris Schneider. Receiving Honorable Mention were Jeremy Mitchell and David Valentine. This year, two of our standout players made the Holland Sentinal All- Area team. Receiving this honor were John Balmer and Jack Cribb.

The season was highlighted with a lot of hard work and effort as JV and Varsity squads danced with Control to bring their teams to Victory. Thanks to all the Indian fans, players and coaches for helping us keep this year filled with spirit and special memories. Sports 51 Vict vicf, The girl’s Varsity Basketball team fell short one of their two goals by losing the last game of districts. They did have a fine season though and achieved their first goal by winning the WMAA league with an undefeated record of 6-0. The WMAA players were Monet Morris, Lara McGrath, and Nicole Mayer. Monet Morris was also named All Area Player for the second year in a row. After the first two games of districts, they defeated the Allendale and Grand Rapids Baptist teams but the third game proved to be tougher. Obviously the Cove- nant Christian Chargers were still upset at their loss to our girls last year in districts and took revenge by beat- ing the girls 58-48. The girls ended the season with an 18-4 record. Congratulations! Above: Team: BACK; Coach Kevin Chip- man, Asst.

This year’s golf team was shaky from the start, beginning their season with a 1 and 5 record; but they pulled themselves together and ended the season with an 11 and 8. With this record, they went to region- azls not knowing where they would end up. The team took a fine second place to get them into State Finals for the 10th year in a row. At State, they took a miser- able eighth. Poor guys! Aaron Marsh was all-state, and was voted most valuable player. Most im- proved was Kevin Krueger. Coach Vonlns is looking forward to a challenging next season. Once again the team should be strong, giving up only one out of a starting six.

The Indians compiled 18 wins to go with 7 losses. The 18-7 record could very easily have been 22-3 as the Indians lost four games by a total of six points. Most of the losses came during a mid- season slump. The Indians beat some very good teams as they faced an extremely tough schedule. The Indians played four teams that were rated in the state at one time. The boys played three of the teams a to- tal of eight times. The Indians also beat the state semi-final- ist Covert Bulldogs two times. The boys achieved many suc- cesses. The Indians won dis- tricts for the second straight year, and headed into region- als. In regionals the Indians defeated the fourth ranked team in class D (Blooming- dale). This great game led Saugatuck into the finals against the traditionally tough Covert Bulldogs. Since Saugatuck beat the Bulldogs twice in the regular season, the Indians seemingly had a great chance to win. However, this time around Covert changed their previous strate- gy and upset the Indians. This loss ended a great season, and snatched the regional trophy away from the well deserving Indians. Along with the great tournament the Indians were rated higher in the state than any other team at SHS. ■ LEAGUED SHS 51 . Hopkins .. 40 68 Hopkins w 54 75 . Covert •m-----Fwmrtl 59 Fennvill] 82 ....

Their record ended at 5-13 but they were within 8 points of four more victories. Although Heather DeVries was out for some games with an ankle injury, she lead the team in scoring with a season total of 79 points. All the girls put in a valid effort though and kept the team spirit going through the wins and the losses. , , , The JV boys had a good sea- son in 1987 with 11 wins and 9 losses. Up until the six- teenth game Kevin Westrate had been the leading scorer. He was then moved up to Varsity. The JV pulled to- gether though and won 3 of their last 5 games to show that to win it takes a team and not a one man show. 0 0 0 Top left: Vicki Woolf shoots as Laura Cribb looks on.

The girls played some very good games as they defeated Covert, Grand Rapids Baptist, and the Bloomingdale Cardinals. The girls also played some fine teams as they faced Allendale. Martin, and Fennville. These teams gave the girls a tough time. Most of the Indians losses came at the beginning of the year, so the girls showed how much they improved as the year went on.

All were in a fren- zy of excitement as they left Sauga- tuck behind. They arrived in New York the next morning ready to take on the Big Apple. The first stop: The Statue of Liberty. That night they got a taste of the big league at Shea Stadium. The second day included a tour of Central Park, Harlem, Lincoln Center. St. Peters Cathedral, lunch at Hard Hock Cafe and an afternoon out on the city. The evening was spent on Broadway. 7%one 'pavi The senior’s third day consisted of a three hour boat tour around Manhat- tan Island, during which all enjoyed catching up on their sleep, a tour of the United Nations Building, dinner at the Adams Ap- ple, and night free to roam the city.

This was a most special graduation, for it marked the 100th. Heidi’s Salutatory address brought back memories of school years past. Tieing their speeches together, Laurie and Heidi did a duet with the flute to “Lean on Me”. Laur- ie’s Valedictory Address looked to a fu- ture of decisions and people needing people, leaning on one another. The guest speakers were Bruce Sheffer and Dr. Theodore McNitt. They spoke of what SHS was in the past. After diplo- mas and awards were received, Mark led the class in the event of turning the tassel and tossing of the caps.

Homecoming week let all 7th and 8th graders show their spirit by participating in dress up days and going to the annual pep assembly, with the eighth graders taking first over all. The junior high had their annual Christmas and Easter raffles, which helped raise money for the 8th grade trip to Chicago. Adding to the excitement several junior high dances were held. This gave everyone a chance to get together and have a great time. National Honor Society members were in- ducted for the 5th year in a row. Nikki Neilson also competed in the local Spelling Bee. Congratu- lations to the junior high for a very fine year. Underclassmen 111 tctive ;4t6£ete ?«t P c U vi Upper Left: 8th grade boys basketball; Standing left to right; Phillip Plapp, Ryan Lark.

They had a good defense but they lacked in offensive skills. The boys team was 7-4. They played the best to their ability and proved it. Below: Jodi Petty attempts to block a pass.

The year was highlighted by the arrival of Student Teacher Tammy Lov- ell. What was exceptional about her was that she was blind. She graduated from Hope Col- lege and began teaching World History for Mr. Bagierek. Overcoming her handicap, the ques- tion of her teaching was very exciting to her and to Academics at SHS. Mr. Herrick’s Model UN also participated at Hope College with other schools from the area. They met and got into groups, represented other countries, and ran the governments for them. The Forensics Team had another good year with a wide amount of participation from seniors and juniors. Hope- fully next year will be repeated as another suc- cessful year for Forensics at SHS.

Academics 119 (?netUive s4nt SUcdetifo Vo- lt s4££ From drawing and painting to making pottery and paper, the art students do it all. The art students brighten up the halls and gymnasium with the signs they create to show spirit. When there is a band concert it is always the art depart- ment that displays its work to make a nice decor. Outside of class work the ad- vanced students take a trip every couple of years to the Chicago Art Institute, al- lowing them to take a close look at the many types of original art. Many of the art students do not leave their talents behind, they go on to pursue art in col- lege and as a career. 120 Academics Academics 121 Above: Banners to help celebrate Michigan's Sesquicentennial were made by the Art IV students.
