A Homecoming of Our Dreams Spirit week for Homecoming ’87 was a busy week at BHS, with Stu- dent Council adding some new and interesting ideas for dress-up days such as: Crazy Day, Twin Day, In- ternational Day, Touch-of-Class Day, and of course. Maroon and Gold Day. Along with the typical noon events, the “Toilet Paper Pass,” Ice-cube Pass, “Bean Pass” and as always, the Class Tug-of-War,” the council add- ed a new event this year, the “Powder Puff Game. It featured the girls from each class in a game of flag football. The Sophomores took first overall, both in noon events and in the float decorating competition. With the help of their powder puff team, the Sophomore class won the 3- way tie for first place in the Home- coming week noon events. Wind whipping their hair and their flags, the Brush Flag Girls step in time as the band plays on. Homecoming week ended on a high note, with the Digger victory over the University Bulldogs followed by a fun evening of dining and danc- ing, as is always a Homecoming tra- dition. New Zealand exchange student Kelli Howison livens up the pep rally with her country’s Mauri war dance. Football coach Larry Mills later commented that she might be used as a new secret weapon.”
