ALIVE AND KICKING Dolly Ardinger willingly allows the great magician to bum her hard earned S50 bill. “Abracadabra!” Although it was March and over half-way through the school year, the students at BHS were still alive and kicking. The first week of the month brought the Donkey Basketball Game. Faculty members and students attempted to ride donkeys up and down the court to see who could score the most points. After a round robin, the faculty team proved to be the best at donkey basketball. After surviving the wild beasts, students represented BHS in All-County Chorus and at the Valley Mall Art Show. Enterprising Russell Giles made wooden rabbits and found sales to be lucrative. Thursday evening, March 13, the BHS Symphonic Band gave their annual spring concert. The talented musicians played a great varity of music ranging from “In Storm and Sunshine” to their award winning parade march “Robinson’s Grand Entree”. During intermission the band front and seniors received pins, and the juniors were presented with band letters. To round out the month’s activities, a visiting magician presented a fantastic show for the student body. Everyone was on edge, and thought they were sure to lose a faculty member, as he passed a sword through the neck of Mrs. Dotty Piccolmini. A brave Dolly Ardinger offered her $50 bill to be burned in front of her eyes. Fortunately, her money was retrieved in one piece from the magician’s pocket. For a new twist, the sophomore class sponsored a Spring Dance instead of their annual St. Patty’s Day fling. Along with bright colored decorations, balloons, and personalized Easter eggs, the Easter bunny was available for pictures. Alive and Kicking 25

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE EXCEPTIONAL? The surge of warm weather gave many people a chance to get a headstart on their tans. Others went shopping for the prom, visited with relatives or just spent time enjoying the beginning of spring and Easter vacation. It was a time for students and faculty to excel. On Sunday, March 12, several Boonsboro High School students boarded a plane at Dulles Airport to begin a ten day adventure in France. The students routed museums, famous cities such as Paris and Nice, ventured up the Eiffel Tower, rode the Bateau Mouche on the Seine River, ate escargot, and enjoyed the beautiful countryside. The trip was exciting, and most would agree that getting to know other county students and relaxing along the pebbled beaches and crystal blue waters of the French Riviera was a nice break from their busy school schedules. Several individuals from BHS were recognized for their exceptional achievements. This year’s recipient of the “True Grit” award from Boonsboro was Brad Keller. Brad, a senior, has played football, basketball, and baseball during his four years at BHS. The 5-foot-7 wonderboy excelled amidst giants and lived in the shadows of super-stars throughout his high school career. But our unsung hero was finally rewarded for his efforts at the Hagers- town Chapter of the International Management Councils tenth annual “True Grit” awards banquet. In the 16th annual Herald Mail All-Area Consensus, our own Mr. Wayne Ridenour was selected as “Coach of the Year.” The coaches and Herald Mail staff chose Mr. Ridenour because he turned an inexperienced team and a sliding program into a 12-10 record and the top seed in the Region II, Class C playoffs. Kim Albert participated in the Miss Washington County Pageant held at the Maryland Theatre on April 11 th, and Maura Mazzer competed in the Miss Berkeley County Pageant held on April 15th. Although the talented dancers did not place, both enjoyed the experience. The Boonsboro Ambulance Company gained two certified members. Seniors, Kim Jones and Crystal Shumaker, have received their training as Emergency Medical Technicians. The Student Council sponsored the annual blood drive. Brave, seventeen year-old, 110 pound students came together and contributed a total of 66'A pints of blood. This was the most ever!
