After twelve weeks of summer, students prepared themselves for what they expected to be a routine year. The first months of school proved to be different. July, 1987 found the Marching Wildcats travelling to Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia, PA, where they performed in two Indepen- dence Day parades. Our band was the only Indiana band to receive the honor. Midway through November, Mr. Robert Waugh, SV principal, accept- ed a promotion to assistant superin- tendent of South Vermillion schools. He was succeeded by Mr. Terry Rus- sell. Changes were very prominent in the athletic department. Not one, NOTHING ROUTINE but nearly all the coaches were new. A welcomed highlight in sports came when SV pulled off its first home- coming victory in five years. Enrollment records were broken with 790 students in attendance. Because class sizes were larger, some middle school teachers split their day between the middle school and high school. To the dismay of students and fac- ulty members, the State legislature A year with more changes than ever before passed a bill requiring the make up of any days missed. Snow days be- came a luxury of the past. New disciplinary measures were also established. “Saturday School was designed to discourage repeat- ed violation of school policies. From the start, many events and changes promised a unique school year. Good, bad, or otherwise, the year would be unlike any other. PICTURE THIS. • Mitzi Lewis
