Debbie Porter Kim Albert Valerie Smith The Students of Boonsboro High School Student Life Life for many BHS students began at 6:30 in the morning and often lasted until 9:00 at night. Their first priority was good grades as they rushed from class to class hoping homework was completed and they had studied enough for the days tests. Underclassmen were kept busy trying to pass com-pentency tests to ensure a diploma at graduation. Seniors wrote term papers, took college entrance exams, and narrowed career option choices. Many of the students were active in clubs and organizations. Whether it was involvement in student government, drama, games, yearbook, or Future Farmers of America, they made a sincere effort to participate in scheduled activities. Team efforts took hours of practice to ensure everyone was prepared to do their best. The students put all they had into making this years the best.

SUMMER VIEWPOINTS SUN. FUN, and WORK When the last bell rang on June 14, students were ready for summer. Finally, 80 days to just relax, lie in the sun, sleep until noon or watch long-missed soaps. As summer got underway, the smells of cut grass, barbequed chicken and suntan oil filled the air. To get a headstart on their tans, students gathered at Greenbrier, Cunningham Falls, or a friend’s pool. Vacationing sun-seekers headed for nearby resorts in Ocean City or Rehobeth Beach. A few lucky ones traveled to the south or west coasts. Many students that weren’t vacationing or busy with their summer jobs went olT to camp. The varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders traveled to Golden Eagle Cheerleading camp in York, PA where they competed and won many awards. Patty Coleman and Valleri Smith attended G O P Youth Leadership Camp in Cowen. WV where they learned about the political process. James Sweeny went off to basketball camp at Georgetown under Coach John Thompson to sharpen his basketball skills. Several Boonsboro High students went to 4-H Camp just for the fun of it. Others went through the daily routine of job hunting while those who had already secured jobs arose daily to report to work. Back in Hagerstown, night owls cruised “the dual and gathered at “Mickey D's” to talk with their friends. At the Valley Mall, Rambo and Back to the Future topped the movie list. As the end of August drew near and the summer practices began, students realized that summer was gone and it was time to get back to business as usual.
