Student Council New traditions lead the year Fact One: The 1983 Homecoming Dance was the highest attended dance since BHS opened their doors. Fact Two: The 1983 Winter Formal was the first winter dance ever to show a profit. Fact Three: The 1984 Mardi Gras was the first of its kind to pay for it- self. Fact Four: None of this would have happened without our 1983-84 stu- dent council. The student council went into the year with a trend settingi' attitude. New traditional trends were set for fu- ture classes to follow. The whole sys- tem was reorganized, all the way from file cabinets to how assemblies were run. The fall semester officers insti- gated a Homecoming Barbeque, put on by the student council members. During Spring Reign week there was an ongoing softball tournament, with competition between the different clubs. The Council also set up plans to redecorate the student center. Before the end of the year there were tables and chairs in the center. As of future years there was a five year plan to im- prove the lighting, retile the floor, and to add partitions. Student Council met four days a week as compared to the previous year's two. 1984 was the first year different organizations have been put in charge of assemblies. Con- cert Choir and the drama department each held an assembly. The main feel- ing of the 1984 student council was to start with a clean slate. They wanted new traditions to arise. They succeed- ed very well in reaching this goal. The final fact was that the 1984 student council contributed a more than above average effort to BHS. We've thought our plans through completely and concentrated on the future, not just this year, Dan Lavey summa- rized. 118 Student Council

VICAfNHSfGA's Student goes to state Vocational Industrial Clubs of America QVICAJ is a student orga- nization open to all students in voca- tional training, according to Marv Kunz. Vica students worked hard to meet goals, but they were rarely rec- ognized. Students had a chance to get involved with club activities, work on an achievement program, and to be a part of a team. The big event of the year was the two day conference at Lane Commu- nity College in Eugene, they listened to several speakers on different sub- jects and witnessed a few demonstra- tions on topics such as Ultra Light, West Linn Pick Up and others. The main purpose, however, was to com- pete against 42 other Oregon highs- chools in vocational areas like auto, architectural drafting, cabintry, car- pentry, electrical trades, commercial art, and other such areas. Jim Duncan and Somchai Rijken both competed in architectural Drafting, although doing well, neither one of them placed. In the Industrial Electronics area, Greg Stein received third place. Rob Theodorson, who took first place in carpentry went on to the national finals to represent Oregon in Louis- ville Kentucky and then to Washing- ton D.C. Rob joined about five thousand other students in the nation competi- tion that took many hours of hard work, the actual competition lasted about six hours. Anyone who placed first in the national represented the U.S. in the international competition. To raise money for his trip, Rob spent endless hours on a cabinet made for the whole student body of Beaverton. Previously, Beaverton has done well in both state and national compe- titions especially in the area of cabin- etry. The members from Beaverton tended to be promising, but the main problem was that many skilled stu- dents were not aware of the Vica pro- gram. The valuable experiences of the Vica program proved beneficial to fu- ture employers. 120 VICAfNHSfGA's National Honor Society QNHSJ was made up of a group of students recognized for their achievements in school academics. A grade point aver- age of a 3.67 and three teacher recom- mendations was required for accep- tance. Qualifying students received a letter from advisor Bernie Bonn dur- ing the second semester of their junior year. At the graduation ceremony, NHS members got recognition by wearing gold tassels which seperated them from the rest of the graduating seniors. To earn money, members sold con- cessions at basketball and football games. In addition, students sold but- tons to support Beaverton athletic teams. The major event of the year was a year-end banquet held in the school cafeteria. The president for 1983-84 was Am- ber Gehrke, and the advisor was Ber- nie Bonn. The Guardian Angels got off to a good start but, due to the lack of students, could only last throughout the football season. In previous years, each GA was assigned one athlete to encourage and cheer on during the season. This year the guardian angels elected to do things as a group, and they gave the football team treats and posters as a whole.
