Season Celebration As students returned on Monday December 12 from their four day weekend, due to snow, it seemed that the spirit of the holiday season had arrived. The week began with teachers filling their rooms with festive decorations, giving their classes a holiday atmosphere. The clubs at BCHS also knew the holiday season was here. The Student Council decorated the cafeteria and began plans for the “Almost Anything Goes” to be held on the Friday before Christ- mas vacation. The FBLA held their annual Christmas banquet. DECA club held their annual food drive for the needy, and to get the members of the four foreign lan- guage clubs in the Christmas spir- it, all were invited to Kings Island for a fun filled evening at Winter- fest. To add further to the holiday environment throughout the halls, the Student Council spon- sored a Christmas door decorating contest in each homeroom. Treats from Emerson’s Bakery were awarded to the lucky homeroom with the most clever door design. Even some teachers participated in a secret Christmas gift ex- change. As Christmas approached, the music of Christmas was heard. During lunch, the chorus enter- tained the faculty and students with familiar Christmas carols in the library. The band performed a number of Christmas arrange- ments at their Christmas concert on December 16. The spirit of the season was alive and happy at Boone County. Students and faculty shared in the festive mood as the long awaited holidays approached. We were looking forward to a Boone Coun- ty Christmas. 26 Chfistmas

Fast, Furious Fun The competition was in- tense; the atmosphere electric as representatives from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes, Vocational School and faculty battled for number one in a wacky competitive events in an “Almost Anything Goes” frenzy, by the Student Council as Boone County’s coun- terpart to the Olympics. The first event was the obstacle course. This wild spectacle con- sisted of: sinking a foulshot, whirl- ing a hula-hoop, bobbing for ap- ples, manuvering through tires, diving under chairs and popping a balloon, with anything but the hands. The seniors were able to take an early lead with the fastest time. The next competition was the three-legged sack race. It was an amusing sight as couples hobbled across the gym floor, joined at the leg by a canvas sack. The sopho- mores made ground by finishing first. Then the flipper relay was one of the most dramatic events of the competitions. As the contestants ran up and down the gym with rubber flippers on their feet, the juniors flipped their way into vic- tory. Things began to get messy as the contestants geared up for the pie-eating contest. Rules for table etiquette were disregarded, when five faces were hurried in choco- late pies. The juniors won as Wes Reynolds finished first. As the teams prepared for the final event, the tug-of-war, ten- sion built. The faculty was strong- ly favored before the event, but were dramatically upset, as the seniors took first place in the tug- of-war and the overall champion- ships. 28 Anything Goes
