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.
