eiieve ?t O ' t Tfot vte hat was BIONIC ' s? BIONIC ' s was a six week pro- gram sponsored by S.L.I.P. Its goal was to improve the school and to get the students involv- ed, spirited and academically improved. It stands for “Believe It Or Not I Care! It all started on April 15, 1986 with a pep assembly. The pep assembly was to explain BIONIC ' s and to get the students interested and ready to participate. During the pep assembly there were different games, including a three-legged race. Each class entered a team of two. Mr. G and Mr. Urick ' s team and Miss Ennis and Mrs. Urick ' s team also participated. The class of ' 86 won the race. During the six weeks there were different challenges. Win- ners of the challenges were given points. The class with the most points won. One of these challenges was to stay out of the Detention Center. Classes received points for the least number of people in detention. The first BIONIC activity was volleyball. The class of ' 87 girls became the champions when they beat the class of ' 88. The class of ' 87 boys also defeated the seniors to win the boys tour- nament. In the co-ed game, the class of “86“ beat the class of “88. Then there were Raft Races, which was one of the more exciting events. The class of “85 defeated the class of “87 by a hair. Class of 86 came in third and the class of 88 finished last. There also was Stump Your Brain day. Someone read a question and then whoever knew it ran to find a S.L.I.P. member. The first to answer correctly got the points.

final round against the class of ' 88. The final score was 86 to 75. The class of ' 86 also won the overall BIONIC Olympiad by having the highest Grade Point Average and having the least number of students in deten- tion. They were to have a day off but their G.P.A. wasn ' t up to standards. Instead, they got to watch a movie entitled “It ' s Alive. A BIONIC Banquet was organized to award those students who participated and improved their grades during the Olympiad. Eighty medallions were given to wor- thy H.H.S. students. The class of ' 86 juniors were awarded their trophy at the dinner. The overall BIONIC Olym- piad proved to be successful. The S.L.I.P. leaders learned a lot from organizing the program.
