■■■Hi GOOD THINGS HAPPEN WITH HARD WORK Each year the sophomore class sponsors a worthwhile community activity. This year the sophomores chose to repaint the football bleachers. Not only did the class supply the paint, but many also donated several weekends to sand and repaint the well-worn seats. Thanks to the sophomores, BHS fans will be able to sit back and relax in style while they watch the Warrior team next year. On April 13, the BHS band headed to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, to perform in the Smokey Mountain Music Festival. The band overwhelmed the competition, taking first-place honors in both field show and parade competition. In addition, the following concert band students earned certificates of achievement and excellence: Doug VanWinkle, bass horn; Stacey Sweeney, piccolo; and Ellie Shinham, french horn. Other title winners were: band majorettes, first-place; rifles and flags, second place; drum line, second place; and drum major, third place. Tired but victorious, band members returned May 7 to a proud Warrior “welcome home!” celebration. Student council elections were conducted during the spring season of 1986. Craig Davis was elected president while Shelli Lewis will serve as vice-president. Cherie Grove is secretary and Trudie Parsons holds the treasurer’s slot. Cory Zimmerman was appointed parliamentarian. The final Antrim Bureau for the 1985-86 school season featured a makeup artist who selected BHS students for models.

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!
