November was the month of Thanksgiving. It was the time when we took a closer look at our accomplishments and our freedoms. The National Honor Society presented the yearly academic awards. The keynote address was given by Mitch Irwin, Michigan State Senator. He talked of how proud he was to know that there were teenagers striving for the very best. The presentation of the scholastic awards was later given by Mr. Johnson, NHS advisor, and Dr. Ayling, principal. They handed out 31 bronze keys, 55 silver keys and 40 gold keys. Miss Draper, Director of Attendance and Discipline, was also very pleased to hand out Perfect Attendance Awards to Michelle Carden, Tracie Doering, Mike Fouch, Jay Gainforth, Quinn Leslie, Scott Mead and Andy Schmidt. (A few did not attend the presentation!) Some TCHS students were also recognized for their talents in modeling. Chris Hillock and Kathy Good modeled for the local Prange's and Wilhelm’s while Beth Beyer and Alison Stoll showed the true comfort of sleepwear from Kay's Lingerie and Leisure Wear. And November was also the month the Trojans played East Lansing in the state semi-finals. 28

November brought us Parent Exchange Day and Band-O-Rama, and WRBL was well under way by that time. The winter weather had begun to settle in, and school had become old hat. that is, to the students. The students figured they wanted their parents to get a taste of what they went through every day. So when Wednesday, November 9th came around, the parents were invited to take the place of their son or daughter and to participate in their daily activities by attending their classes, opening their lockers, and yes, even eating the school’s lunch. Did anyone notice that lunch was actually good that day? Another activity that started was the tutor program. This program was designed to get students on a one to one basis, so the student in need of help had a better chance of understanding. Although school was here for education, not all education was classroom and books. The WRBL Club was set up to teach students about the workings of a radio station, but they also did a pretty good job of keeping us entertained before school in the mornings. Earlier this month the annual Band-O-Rama was held. For about three hours the Marching Band performed all of the season's songs. They were later joined by the Junior High School Band, and they did a few songs together.
