Mr. Brunner, who has an interesting display of gadgets that serve an educational purpose, will always be remembered as the type of teacher who kept up on his subject matter and could ham it up to make the lesson interesting. Right: Mr. Graff chuckles as he demonstrates his teaching abilities as a newcomer.

DECA is Dancin' in '85 Last year the Boonsboro High School Distributive Education Students raised over $1,200 to benefit the patient service and research programs of the Muscular Dystrophy association through a ten-hour dance marathon. The support this event received throughout the high school and the Boonsboro community was demonstrated by the fact that the Boonsboro Dance Marathon was the single largest high school fund-raising activity for MDA in the state of Maryland during 1984. On Saturday, February 16th, the Boonsboro High School DECA students again sponsored a dance marathon—SUPER DANCE USA— to benefit MDA. Naturally, they were working hard to ensure that this year’s event would be even more successful and enjoyable. Anyone who wished to help support this event could do so by making a donation to the Boonsboro DECA students. Donations came in many forms such as: advertising space, food, prizes, and monetary contributions. The sister efforts of Roberta and Sheri Marks provided support for the Ronda Rmgler, Kym Shade. Mandy Shaffer, and Mrs. Megan Welsh show off their hard earned T-Shirts DECA Super Dance. Scott Bitner and Jim Seabright rapidly typed yearbook pages. Senior Mementos The Josten’s company made sure seniors would have many tangible mementos to remember that very special year. Pictures, rings, class keys, memory books, name cards, and tassels were exchanged during the last months of togetherness We Need Help! “Mrs. Lemkuhl, I can’t find my pictures ... but I did write that article once . . . you need how many pages? ... by when?!?” That summed up the atmosphere in the art room as the yearbook deadlines approached. Many students scurried around looking for just one more picture to complete their page, or griped because they had too many characters for their last caption! Mrs. Lemkuhl held down the fort and managed to pull us through by spending many hours unscrambling our hairbrained ideas. So with the help of Mrs. Lemkuhl, the generosity of advertiser, Mr. Allen who allotted us just one more week, and Myerly and Lowe Photographers, we were able to have a successful yearbook ... on time?!? Matt Hart worked hard to make all his pictures fit. Fun. Fun, Fun — 2
