Is There Really Life in School? Or Line Up for a Cookie Break? School is more than going to class and doing homework. For some students, their school days are fill- ed with activities including: pep rallies, dances, and try- ing not to be late for class. Student Council set up a Wednesday cookie break, which lasted for 10 minutes between second and third hours. Students got a glass of juice and a cookie. The Pat-On-The-Back system, a student reward pro- gram, was started also, and it seemed to be favorable with most of the students. If five of these pat-on-the- backs were given to a student, then the student could bring them to the principal for a prize. Janitors are also a part of life in school—they help keep the school clean everyday. The cooks prepare school lunches—whether students eat them or not. Others, like Benny Torrez, keep the students in line in the cafeteria (somebody has-to watch out for the food!) She also washes the athletic towels and uniforms. All of these things combined helped make life in school more enjoyable and memorable for BHS students. Even though many do not think so, there real- ly is life in school!! Mr. and Mrs. Dale Wahlert, parents of senior Mike Wahlert (homecoming candidate), show BHS the way they dance in the 80’s. Larry Lake, Paula Eklund, Doug Seward, and Deanne Weiss work on the award winning senior float for Homecoming. ‘Catch the Wave’ was the theme for the 1986-87tHomecoming. The sophomore’s Homecoming float took third. Frigid temperatures and rain didn't dampen the spirits, at least, of these surfers. 1 14 Life In School

What goes on behind half-closed doors? Well, now we know—BHS janitors hard at work doing a super job to improve our high school! Though Mr. Schiell may not be Chef Tel, he’s trying his hand at making an omelet for the honor roll breakfast. Mrs. Milton Tor- mohlen looks on, as one of the helpers from Tormohlen Egg Farm. Kristie Mason and Pete Martinez—Homecoming king and queen—ride in a ’56 Thunderbird driven by Mrs. Howard Wirth in the Homecoming parade. Seniors Derek Moser and Dwayne Schultz enjoy the honor roll breakfast November 19, with Dr. Prascher and two other friends. This was one of the programs started to reward students.
