“BAND-aids” Homecoming Survival “It was like a midnight fantasy!! John Gunnon “Only in My Dreams” fashioned a gorgeous September Homecoming. Colorado Sound and Light supplied the music and special effects, such as fog and bubbles which added excite- ment to the dance. The University Bulldogs provided BHS with more excitement, as they led at halftime, 6-0, with the final score being 20-6, the Diggers over the Bulldogs. According to Chad Foltz, “The dance was cool! Bernie Martinez said, The dance was better than last year and it smelled like pina coladas, Yum!!” Earlier during the week the king and queen candidates were announced as Virgil Griffith, Chris Garcia, Scott Hernandez, and Corey Falligan, Joan Radke, Kelly Schreiner, Michelle White and Kandi Phillips. Royalty was crowned at the football halftime as King Virgil Griffith and Queen Joan Radke. The royal pair was also recognized at the dance. Decorations highlighted the dance with a fountain and 'tons' of stream- ers! Some extra touches were the girls’ shoes which littered the floor! Many people held parties afterwards but safely survived the festivities! Joe Kendrick and Jody Jones dance to the music supplied by Colorado Sound and Light. Scott Hernandez shows his own unique form on a Beetdigger Homecoming kick-off. Celebration of Kelly Schreiner and David Walkup’s last Homecoming included bub- bles and pina colada-scented fog.

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.”
