 1. Every year you have to survive the level you are in, whether it is your freshman or senior year. The faculty also has to survive a year with new students and associates. Yet, nearly everyone survives the high school life. There is no record at BHS of a freshman fatality from initiation. The sophomores are just shadows in the halls laughing at the freshmen, but not saying too much. The juniors survive the prom preparations. The seniors also survive the pressures of grad- uation. Whatever the challenge, good and bad times exist in every year. Seniors Virgil Griffith and Verna Rogers show off their togas. It is a tradition of every senior class to wear togas during one spirit week day. New office secretary, Joyce Friehauf, survives by working at the computers.

Believe it or not, a sea of faces actually did fill the gymnasium as nearly two thousand attended the Sat- urday morning ceremony. Band director Judy Meisel guides her musicians through a difficult piece. Pensive expressions on the faces of Robin Ar- tery, David Johnson, Jaylene Copley and Jeff Moreland did not neces- sarily tell their feelings about finally graduating. Ninety-two graduates of the Class of 1988 gather for a final group portrait before they set off for new lives. The song “Friends” being sung by Brenda VanDonselaar well-portrayed the close relation- ships many students had made over four years of high school. Under the direction of Judy Carlson and accompanied by Lori Larsen at the piano, the Copyright choir entertains for Baccalaureate services.

That was Then, This is Now . . . Remember the first day of kindergarten? All of those new faces and new places. Who would have ever thought you’d someday be facing your last day? All of those first day jitters would be relieved. Twelve years have gone by so fast. The time arrived for senior pictures, graduation announcements to be ordered, and facing the world on one’s own. When asked about thoughts of graduation, senior Jenny Cadwalader said, “It seems like just last year I was a freshman. It’s really excit- ing, but yet it’s scary!” Pete Ybarra commented, “It’s scary and weird to think you’re going out on your own.” According to Nicole Wolever, “It’s a long awaited time and it’s scary, but once I’m out on my own, it’ll be exciting!” Joan Radke said, “I’m ready for high school to be over with, but when I’m gone. I’m going to wish I was back in school.” Jake Held said, “I’ve wait- ed 12 years and it’s going to be exciting, but scary out there. No one will be there to wash my clothes or cook for me.” “I’m ready! It’s about time. I’m ready to get out on my own!” stated Chad Cox. So, all in all, the seniors were excited to be graduating, but faced a frightening, un- certain future. Graduation commence- ments were May 21, 1988. Seniors chose Cardinal Red and Feather White for their colors, and the rose for the class flower. The class motto was “Life is like a field of snow, every step you take will show ” “The best thing about my senior year was all of the parties. The worst thing is that 1 have to leave.” Stacie Dardanes Seniors hold special mem- last regard to the seniors, as ories and an important role in they move on, don’t forget what the future brings. As a those old faces and old places! Trying to help Shaw n Garrett make the most of his height, Mr. Terrell Sumner measures him for his graduation gown. Seniors chose their class colors, motto and announcements in November.
