BHS PLAYED ITS BEST JOKES I've always wanted to give someone a bowl of chicken soup made from chicken bouillon and those little plastic rubberbands you get from your orthodontist. Of course. I'd tell the person before they actually ate some! said junior Christy Buchta. Most everyone has either been the creator or victim of a practical joke on April Fools' Day sometime in their life. Senior Cindy Westervelt com- mented, I remember we used to torment a teacher in eighth grade by turning our desks around to confuse him. Although, come to think of it, we did that to him all year long too! When I was little, I always used to love to get up before anyone else on April 1st and switch the bags inside of the cereal boxes around. It was great to watch Dad going for the 'Grapenuts', not knowing that he was actually £oing to end up with'Boo-berries: So, as the jokesters of the world unite, watch out this year because someone could get you with an April Fools' joke. It was the backstretch of the '86 school year, commented senior Chris Beckerman. That was the general outlook of the student body on spring break. Every year, the weather starts to turn, glimmers of summer begin to shine through, and each stu- dent acquires and end-of-the- year attitude. While some students headed west to ski in Colorado and Utah, others vaca- tioned in Florida and the Bahamas. Some loyal Bay Villagers stayed home and com- batted boredom. Since most of my friends and I weren't fortunate enough to head south, we made it tradi- tional to play poker whenever and wherever we could, said Shawn Kellev. Although it was ereat to breaK away from school for a week, Easter Vacation can get really boring. Junior Robin Knutsen said, We had the best time! A few nights, my friends and I had nothing to do, so about ten of us went to Friday's for dinner! Since we usually found or made something to do, it didn't really matter to me whether to me that I didn't get to go away. EASTER VACATION DOESN'T MEAN BOREDOM IN BAY WITH A ROYAL FLUSH. Over Easier Break junior Shawn Kellev, senior Rod Hoffman, and friends amuse themselves with a game of poker. The group got together to have fun and prevent boredom many times throughout the vacation. SHOW CHOIR DANCES AND SINGS EVERY SPRING As an annual event, the show choir performs in a morning assembly. In the show, they sang and danced to the traditional Red Light along with other new routines made up by Mrs. Flanson and her choreographer. Junior Matt Davis said, It's really nerve-racking to get up on that stage and make a fool of yourself singing and dancing when you know that your going to get mocked by your friends afterwards!

Mr. Thomas’s AP history class started their morn- ing taking a three-hour test to challenge their knowledge of American history. Scores ranged from 1 to 5. With a 3 or above college freshmen could test out of history or get college credit depen- ding on their school. Senior Kris Matey re- ceived a 4. APRIL 21 MOND After a week of practic- ing for two hours each night, it was finally the day for 52 girls to try out for the Rockette line. All can- didates were judged on a dance and kick routine (taught to them by the graduating Rockettes), the fight song, and an original dance. Tryout order was determined by the number each girl picked. Tryouts started right after school and lasted until about 11.00. Since we tried out in groups of five, the people who had already per- formed could leave and come back. Everyone who hadn't tried out yet was so nervous that they kept do- ing their routines over and over while they waited. Even after four years, I was still nervous. The worst thing was the intimidating judges! They didn’t smile once! I would have felt really bad not being on the line as a senior because I had made it my junior year.” -Becky Harman — M. Zukowski “I knew the test would be too hard to really study for because it covered almost 200 years of information, so I didn’t even bother study- ing. The multiple choice concentrated on obscure facts that we never went over in class, but the essay question was easier because I could disguise my answer so it sounded like I knew what I was talking about!” -Kris Matey — C. Westervelt — M. Zukowski APRIL 27 SUNDAY As a sure sign of warmer weather, Ohioans “spring” forward in time every April. Most people like Daylight Savings Time because it’s not dark at 5:00, but some summer lovers who didn't change their clocks back last fall were especially happy as the rest of the world caught up to them. The thing I hate about Daylight Savings Time is that it’s hard to get used to. If you go to bed at 10:00, it's actually 11:00. When I was little I’d come home, thinking I was on time and I'd be an hour late. It all worked out in the fall though because I would be an hour early. ” -Julianne Plzak GROOVE TO THE BEAT. Concentrating on their routine, junior Matt Davis and Kaduate Sharon Perrine perform Red Light att's sonhomorc year was his first year with the snow choir. READY TO GO. While waiting begin their performance, senior Gretchen Hall and eraduate Becky Carson gaze at the audience. It took the group about eight practices to perfect the routine. — M. Zukowski

For the first time, can- didates in the spring elec- tion were required to write a campaign statement ex- plaining their goals if elected. These statement, along with a picture, were displayed in the new “prideboards. Candidates were also required to get 50 classmates to sign their petition for candidacy. '7 ran for secretary because I decided that it was important to get involv- ed. I had experience since I'd been class secretary at my old school in Viriginia. The thing I hated most about the election was that someone had to lose. -Mary Beth Laurenson MAY 13 TUESDAY To honor students who maintained a 3.595 or above GPA for two quarters, the Kiwanas — M. Zukowski At 7:30 students stroll- ed into the back room of the ChiChi's at Westgate for the publications' ban- quet. Both rookies and veterns of the three publications dined on either chicken or beef bur- ritos. Reviewing the year's accomplishments, Joe Pir- nat, Lisa Sturges, and Kevin Robison spoke on the Lit Mag, the yearbook, and The Window respec- tively. New staff positions were announced followed by an induction for all new Quill and Scroll members. Everyone fought over seats and who would get — M. Zukowski Club held an assembly in the auditorium. Students were called up by class to receive their certificates. Seniors who were awarded this Academic Achieve- ment award all four years were acknowledged separately and were given a dictionary as well as a special award. '7 didn't know what to ex- pect since they did not give out awards at the middle school. I think it's a good idea to recognize people who worked hard during the year. -Jana Lupo — M. Zukowski what food first. I liked the idea of having the new staf- fers along with the old. That way they get to know each other for the upcoming year. -Karen Ihms May P1ROUTTES.
