Juniors Make Headline News With A Great Year Reflecting on the year of 1982 and 1983, the juniors were the underdogs as freshmen, in big old BHS, singing “Loyalty,” being harrassed by upper classmen, and strug- gling through those difficult class hours, the freshman year seemed somewhat long. Finally, things began picking up, as the class of '86 moved into their sophomore year. The year brought many personal triumphs but some class defeats, such as in float contests. Moving closer to superiority, the class of '86 took on the role of juniors. To start the year off, the class elected the officers for the ' year: Rick Tormohlen-president, Stephanie Griffith-vice- president, and Bruce Bass-secretary treasurer. The junior class had many activities to prepare for throughout the year; so, Mr. Worthley, Mr. McGee, Mr. Mussel), Mr. Craft, Mr. Giauque, Mrs. Mesch and Mr. Bever were appointed as sponsors to help with these activities. Throughout most of the year concessions and other money-making activities were held to raise money for the Junior-Senior Prom in April. October brought the first major project to the class, with homecoming. Throughout homecoming week the class participated in several noon time events, placing 3rd in the overall contest events, but came out on top by placing 1st in float decorating. As the new year began the juniors started preparing for one of their most memorable evenings in their high school years. Planning prom took several months of hard work and organization, leaving them one step above the under classmen, and one giant step from facing reality! JR. CLASS OFFICERS: (Front row) Mr. Worthley.

Memorial To Tracy Allison Blake Tracy Allison Blake was born on March 10, 1967. In the time we knew Tracy from the second grade to her senior year she grew from freckle faced child to the person we knew and loved. In an accident that took her life, Tracy left us on March 9, 1985. Although not everyone knew Tracy, alias: Trixx,” Trickster,” and “Trace,” all were able to feel her presence whenever she was near. Her smile could fill the room with a ray of sunshine and her sense of humor could put anyone at ease The loss which the class of 1985 felt somehow brought us closer together. Now that Tracy has left us to wander a new pasture, wherever she is and whomever she meets will be enchanted with the same warm personality that made her so special to us. Even though she is dearly missed, somewhere she is very much alive, watching over our class, her family, and friends. Wherever you are, Tracy, we want to tell you how much you are loved, and that a part of you still lives on in each and every one of us you touched with the gift of your friendship. We will always cherish those great times we spent together laughing and talking of dreams to come. God bless you, Tracy. We wish to extend our deepest sympathies to those hurt by the loss of Tracy. Always remember, though, instead of giving up. push yourself that extra mile, if not for yourself, for Tracy.
