Autumn — Cornin’ Around Again Jazzing Up, Cooling Off Fires Of Fall On August 25, 1987, the old school bell rang and students filed into their classes, despite the extreme heat in the rooms. The fall sports season was kicked off the following night at the Community Pep Rally and the year was officially underway. Back at school the next day, parking became a health risk as construction on the new stadium began. Students attended the Activities Fair, sponsored by Student Council, who also organized the Blood Drive and the Halloween Dance, to sign up for the year’s events. Our parents chatted with our teachers at Back-to-School Night, and a week later, we journeyed under the boardwalk” for Homecoming festivities. Discussion heated up at the Junior High when the Board of Education decided to move the freshmen to the high school in the fall of 1989, to place a 5.7 mill school levy on the February ballot, and to close an elementary school building; however, the Board decided to postpone that decision until a later date. A bonfire behind the school got everyone psyched for Senior Night, which was held on November 6. Miami University performed for us at a jazz assembly, and the whole community enjoyed the fall play. The Night of One-Act Plays, held at the Junior High auditorium. After all of this commotion, students were definitely ready for Thanksgiving break. 22 Activities
