The Student Council sponsored the chess. Trivial Pursuit, and singles and doubles ping-pong tournaments, in which many people participated. They also arranged two musical events for the student body, including the Sunshine Express, a rock band which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. In addition to their activities for the student body, the Student Council also organized activities for their own projects. Various members operated the popcorn machine during athletic events through the year. Each member selected a “Secret Pal“ from the faculty. The faculty members discovered the identities of their secret pals at a Thanksgiving party for the faculty and Student Council. They also assumed the responsibility of organizing the Homecoming festivities. Each year the Student Council sends delegates to the annual District Convention. This year, the delegation included Mike Mclanson, Jaci Meyer, Lisa Alexander, and Sarah Murray.

As Coach Bill Vangel aptly said at the Fall Sports Banquet, “We had a tough schedule. Six out of the nine teams we played ended up with winning records and three of them made the playoffs.” The team played very hard and should have won every game.

As Coach Gene Murray said, the freshman class was a “class with class”. The freshman football team set out to prove him correct. Even though their record was not the success they had hoped for, their team spirit and determination were the deciding factors which made the hometown rally around them. Competing against older players saw them improve throughout the season because they had to strive for every point. Tuscola High School has always looked to its freshmen for liveliness and diversity. This year's freshman football team was truly representative of these standards.
