These tradi- tions may be viewed as a tribute to the classes that have come before us. At the beginning of the school year is the traditional homecoming week that has always been a highlight in the football season. lt is customary for students to dress up in various outfits on designated days of the week. Also during football season, DECA sells car- nations before school in the Summit. Students can alwa s be found with hancllfuls of these flowers that they have either reeceived or are passing out to friends. Flower Child - On a Friday mor- ning in the Summit, senior Roberto Larrinaga sells carnations to students. DECA is responsible for Another one of the popular fall traditions at Berkner is the famous senior circle. Following a slide show, seniors gather together for the singing of the alma mater. Senior circle means a great deal to the senior football players and band members because it's the last time we'll all be together, said senior Missy Gas er. Also takling place in the fall is the senior irls pajama day. All decied out in their slee wear, complete with slippers and teddy bears, the girls are served reakfast in the cafeteria. Probably the most waited clandestine tradition is senior skip day. Seniors, who dare, 0 -M selling carnations durin football season, St. Patrick's Say, and Valentine's Day. iPhoto by R.

Then it becomes Powder Puff football time. In this spring event classes change roles. junior and senior irls participate in a football game while the guys cheer them on. One might ask why these traditions got started. No one is really sure, but without these traditions, it wouldn't be Berkner.

Hoffekerl S: Y i Y: From boots and bows to red M8tMs and rap music, many new influences entered the lives of Berkner students during the '87 year. To keep up with the times the Rams began making additions to the school as well. With the arrival of the 1,000-plus sophomore class overcrowding was evident in every aspect of Berkner life. Halls became more crowded and the number of cafeteria chairs seemed to diminish every day. For the first time students were actually assigned to share their lockers. Although the con- cept of locker sharing has been very successful when the plan was instigated by the students, the official attempt was quite un- l 4 Z Q, fi . - 4 I 'sts --2 . popular. Portable buildings were constructed and now many students venture outside to attend class. To accommodate the im- mense overcrowdedness of the B and D lunches, new drink machines were installed in the Summit to reduce the number of people in the snack bar line. Added informants for BHS students included the STAR Text system installed so students can research the latest in current events. The always amusing KRAM staff used a new PA system to help broadcast the series of an- nouncements that manag- ed to jump from second period to fifth and back again. And no one can forget the revolutionary bells. When these bells first ar- rived jokes were made about their resemblance to many things., A very important addi- tion to students' lives was the much anticipated ar- rival of the Hard Rock Cafe. Students are often seen wearing the sweat shirts and buttons that proudly bear the Hard Rock logo. As time passes, many of this year's most popular trends will have become passe and new, different, and more exciting trends will take their place in the style of Berkner students. But when it was new this year, it was exciting.
