IN HONOR OF .. . A breath of fresh air has blown into Yale High School this year, and it left a new principal behind. His name is William Rykhus. Mr. Rykhus was born in Minnesota, raised in South Dakota, and received his bachelor ' s degree from South Dakota State. He came to Michigan in 1963 when he began counseling students at Buchanan High School. He was principal of Bay City All-Saints High School for 6 year when he became involved with the Sheltered Workshop in Lapeer. The Sheltered Workshop provides employment for handi- capped adults. Now of course, Mr. Rykhus is here as our principal. He lives in Lapeer with his wife Karen, and two children. Rich and Erin. We ' d like to welcome Mr. Rykhus to Yale, and we wish him the best of luck.

SPIRIT SHINES THROUGH A real punker — Kevin Kovacs bares it all. A Week Full of Pep! What ' s the deal? Halloween for a week? No, it ' s Spirit week at Yale High School. The purpose of Spirit week is to increase the spirit in the school for our homecoming. Spirit week this year went as follows: Monday was Olympics day, which fit in with our theme. Tuesday was Punk Rock day; ev- eryone dressed quite outrageously. Wednesday was twins day, which made people think they had dou- ble vision. Thursday was dress-up day; the school looked refreshing to see everyone dressed nicely. Fri- day was blue-n-white day; this is a traditional day during spirit week. During spirit week there is compe- tition to see which class has the most spirit. The faculty won and the seniors came in second. This shows us that the faculty does have spirit and care about the stu- dents and school. Two wild and crazy toga brothers show their spirit — Mike Kurtz and Ken Mazzoline. Showing their spirit, Steve Bond and Lynn Vandenbossche, go totally blue and white. Have you ever seen better looking guys? Steve Hodgins and Dan Keegan strut their stuff during dress-up day. 5
