Prince, UK, Porshes Reign As the years change, peo- ple change, and with them their tastes and interests. The 1984-85 school year at B.C.H.S. was no exception. As the class of 84 departed and the class of 87 arrived, new fads and favorites prevailed. By observing students in the hallways, the new fads and fa- vorites were evident, especial- ly in the case of colleges. The University of Kentucky seemed to be the hands-down favorite of the student body. In the fall the U.K. Wildcats ex- cited the students with their re- vitalized football team. In the winter and spring, the ever- prevalent U.K. basketball team kept the students cheering. The 1984-85 school year brought with it a battle of fash- ions; a conflict between two popular styles prevailed. It was not unusual to see students dressed in punk style or, on the other extreme, a very preppy outfit adorned with an assort- ment of emblems from polos to Izods. In the field of entertainment, Prince proved to be the King. Whether it was his movie, Pur- ple Rain, or his album by the same name, Prince provided the beat for the students extra- curricular activities. As the students dreamed of driving away to college in their new Porches, it became appar- ent that this car was a definite winner as our favorite means of transportation. Although the fashions, fads and favorites change from year to year, so too, do the students who walk the halls of Boone County High. 12 Fods And Fovorites

Isn’t Revenge Sweet? As colorful and unique as Spirit week was. Slave day proved to be the climax of five days of fun. It was on slave day that the senior football players and cheerleaders sold themselves as slaves to the highest bidder in the interest of school spirit. The slaves were not hard to distin- guish on this fun-filled day. They were adorned in a variety of out- fits chosen at the discretion of the slave’s owner. It could sometimes be embarrasing to the football playing slaves as they roamed the halls dressed as dainty females to please the wishes of their owners. The cheerleaders were also dressed in all kinds of masculine attire from fatiques to work boots. However humiliating it may have been for these players, the tables would soon turn on the owners on the day following Slave day the slaves were give the opportunity to get even with their owners on Slave Revenge day. This day may have proved far more harsh for owners turned slaves. Isn’t revenge always sweet. 14 Slave Day
