Foreign Exchange Students Highlight Year Broken Bow High School was fortunate to have two foreign exchange students this year. Sue Newland of Australia arrived in January 1984, and left in January 1985. Robbert Smink of Holland was in Broken Bow from August 1984 to June 1985. ‘‘Being a foreign exchange student has been one of the greatest and most fulfilling experience of my life, as it is for most other ‘exchanges’. It is a wonderful opportunity to spend time in another country and learn about its people and customs, while having a great time doing things and visiting places and meeting people you might otherwise never have done, visited or met. “To think of what I might have missed if I hadn’t spent a year in Broken Bow, Nebraska!” —Sue Newland “Since I came here in August, I've been involved in sports. I started out in football, then I participated in basketball. By then it was the end of February, within a week I started to practice track. This has been a wonderful year. As soon as I finish my education (in Holland), I will do everything possible to come back here.” —Robbert Smink (Top) Sue Newland and Robbert Smink wait for Carl Sunberg’s autograph during the FCA banquet.

Band Adds Culture To Everyday School Life While most students at BBHS were still basking in the summer sun, the high school band was busy practicing for what band director Bill Reichert calls “the most important performance of the year - marching in the Custer County fair parade. That was just the start of the hard work that the band put in this year. Fall activities included entertaining crowds at the state fair, field shows during home football games, and marching at the Harvest of Harmony parade in Grand Island. The band marched through intermittant drizzle behind Broken Bow’s Harvest of Harmony Queen candidate, Judy Goodner. It was a rather busy winter for the band. Not only did they play pep music for all home basketball games, they also had to prepare for the winter concert. Spring brought Southwest Music Conference. Nineteen band students participated. Later in the spring, the band participated in district music contests. The entire band received a one, the highest score possible. The band completed their year by playing at graduation. Mike Cumpston received the John Phillip Sousa award for being the outstanding band member throughout the year. Mark Whitney and company. (Row 1) Brett Norden. Tara Higgenbotham. Jennie Sammons.
