The tempo continued on into second semester and not even the gloomy after-math of exams could dampen their enthusiasm. The indi- viduality of the class reached its peak prior to Jr.-Sr. Prom , and the satisfaction of producing a first rate prom let all juniors realize that their efforts were not in vain.

Vocal Music Department Provided Enjoyable Times Contests proved to be very nerve-racking, but all turned out well for the Mixed Chorus when they received a lI+ at State Con- test. The Girls' Glee also sang on to accept a H while Boys' Glee ended up with a III. But it all seemed worth the effort as the Bnal singing faded. Besides, forty-five minutes of happy care- free singing can do wonders for an overburdened student. During the year the extra mo- ments that greeted BHS singers during the school day, and even after school, became prized mo- ments. Spring Festival and per- forming for the grade schools in 1' the area became parts of those prized moments to treasure.

Early Gridiron Hopes Lost Yardage During Season Junior Calvin, Gary Gillum , and Bob Hickerson were among the outstanding players picked by league coaches for positions on the '73 All-League teams. Calvin merited first-team offense and second-team defense. Gillum was chosen for second-team defense. Hickerson received Honorable Mention. Early season hopes were high with the size of the starting line- up, the largest in the league. Average weight from tackle to tackle was an enormous 225 lbs. But they just couldn't seem to get it together to win a game. It looked like a long year until Bluestem beat arch rivals Douglass. Sweeping this game , the Lions went on to win against Pretty Prairie finishing the season seventh in the league. Junior Calvin led the team , setting a new school rushing record with a total of 888 yards. He also broke the single game rushing record with a re- markable 212 yards total. What a year. A season of dis- appointments and disgust, but yet a year of hope and spirit. Junior Clavin, Bluestem senior, was also selected as an ALL- AMERICAN. He was honored for 'definite evidence of excellence to the highest ideals of sportsman- ship through competitive athletics.

I hope next year's Student Council meets the chal- lenge set by the student body and that they can bring unity to them, said '74 STUCO President Steve Austin. The 1973-74 STUCO has profited the student body by acquiring new machines for the lounge area, passin a more lenient dress code, providing music for dances, but most of all working with you, the students and teachers to make your school career as enjoyable as possible.

Wit a new constitution adopted, for pep skits, posters, and locker room decorations, each class tookits turn at the work, and many clever skits and posters often turned up. Pep Club was smaller in number this year, but it's the big mouths that count, and there were quite a few of those. Pep Club was always around when the homecomings arrived and did all the decorating. Pep Club also decorated a float for football 's homecomin . The candidates rode arouns the field on it. It proved to be a very successful project. Pep Clu was also responsible for the All Sports Banquet decorations. To raise spirit amorgg the BHS fans, T-shirts were sol .

Early Gridiron Hopes Lost Yardage During Season Junior Calvin, Gary Gillum , and Bob Hickerson were among the outstanding players picked by league coaches for positions on the '73 All-League teams. Calvin merited first-team offense and second-team defense. Gillum was chosen for second-team defense. Hickerson received Honorable Mention. Early season hopes were high with the size of the starting line- up, the largest in the league. Average weight from tackle to tackle was an enormous 225 lbs. But they just couldn't seem to get it together to win a game. It looked like a long year until Bluestem beat arch rivals Douglass. Sweeping this game , the Lions went on to win against Pretty Prairie finishing the season seventh in the league. Junior Calvin led the team , setting a new school rushing record with a total of 888 yards. He also broke the single game rushing record with a re- markable 212 yards total. What a year. A season of dis- appointments and disgust, but yet a year of hope and spirit. Junior Clavin, Bluestem senior, was also selected as an ALL- AMERICAN. He was honored for 'definite evidence of excellence to the highest ideals of sportsman- ship through competitive athletics.
