The 1984 centennial graduating class welcomes you to the year of Celebration — a theme picked to express pride in the one hundreth graduating class of 646 students. The school year officially began Tuesday, September sixth with 97 staff members having an orientation. The doors opened to 2,136 students the following day. The warm summer days led us into September, the month to get reacquainted with the atmosphere of school. This was not only for the students but for the staff as well. Annually, the student senate held a student-faculty breakfast to help break the ice of the new year and to catch up on the happenings of summer. Before school even began, the football players were back into the swing of things. Mrs. Mixer introduced the team to aerobic dancing, adding a new twist to getting into shape. While the football players tuned their bodies, the band tuned their instruments. The band’s hard work and many hours of practice paid off with their impressive performances at both Michigan State University and the Pontiac Silverdome. 20

Neither tradition nor spirit would be complete without the Flag Corp, Pom-poms or Cheerleaders. The Cheerleaders practiced for many hours, over the summer, under the coaching of Miss Burns and Sue Mack. The Cheerleaders were required to attend a cheerleading camp for one week in August, held at Michigan State University. They made up many of their own chants and motions for variety, instead of the traditional RAH RAH-RAH! The squad was also required to join Pep Club in order to boost school spirit. The Flags and Pom-poms, instructed by John Campbell, also practiced for several weeks, with and without the Marching Band. They were considered to have a truly classy style. The captain and the co-captain of the Flag Corp were, respectively, Goudy Zacks and Marie Kratochvil. Marie stated, The Flag Corp makes up their own practice flags. Some are very creative and make flags like a preppy alligator on a pink background; others might just do a basic blue. The captain of the Pom-poms was Julie Miller. Pom-poms attended a camp in the summer where they received many awards. Both groups participated in the Cherry Festival and the game at the Silverdome. 1983-84 Flag Corp: (Front Row) Cristen Crewes, Kristen Mericle. Kelly Ardern, Kim Hondorp, Lee Rutila. Megan Brown.
