Spectroscopic observations of SN 1987A in the LMC in July 1987 are presented. The appearance of SN 1987A's optical spectrum was dominated by strong H I and Na I lines showing broad P-Cygni profiles. The nebular emission lines of [O I] 6300, 64 appeared in mid-July. The enhancement of s-processed elements of Ba II and Sr II in SN 1987A is briefly discussed.
