Life was an adventure and the surprises brought forth expressions that ranged from disgust to total confu- sion. We went through the days wondering What's next? and the year held many more eventful hap- penings. But we faced these sur- prises with laughter . . . and amuse- ment. Shaking our heads as we found that at BAHS, Life was exciting! fd il The mellowed out Greg Goober,' Cummings. Cindy takes life's bitter with the sweet. Bamberg's own Abominable Snow Man. Katie's 'KCover Girlu look. Hey, can't you see the sign says boys?! A slightly taken-a-back rose in the garden-Trenesha. Sean gives us his Hollywood eyes. Daryll Johnston took the wrap and a few direct hits and punches as a Bamberg art object. A Rather Gumi Story A Visit With Frau Heints Do you want to go to the Gumi Store? . . . was a popular question this year at BAHS and the Gumi Store, just as popular, was often as crowded. Lunch time found the tiny, colorful store filled to overflowing with kids of all ages. From sixth graders to freshmen to seniors. Kids were still jamming in to get that necessary bag of gumis to see them through the afternoon. What a nuisance we must have been. Demanding this and now that. But Frau Heints, the owner of the gumi store was quite patient. She would laugh or scold as the mood took her, satisfying our demands, and then urging us to rush back to school so as not to be late. She made those long winter afternoons speed by as we an- ticipated our lunch time or after school visits. Though always busy, The Gumi Store Lady as Frau Heints is call- ed, found enough time for all of us. Giving us many special Gumi filled days. We'd like to thank Frau Heints again and we hope she will continue selling Gumis for a long time to come. Gumrnies galore! Along with brotchens and chocolate and many other delicious foods Frau Heints' colorful store was a favorite hang out this year. A familiar scene to Bamberg High students, the outside of Frau Heints' Gumi Store. Open since 1957, Frau Heints sells many treats, especially the very popular gumis. Business as usual scolds Frau Heints. No time for pictures! The Gumi Store is a busy place and keeps Frau Heints on the run. And no, she doesn't like gumis. Good Times Are Here Again! Work and good times. We combined both at school this year. From hanging out with friends to working hard in class, we made the most of life. Even during winter as we rushed from frozen buses to the warm building, we took time out to stop and laugh. Sometimes our teachers drove us crazy and we wanted to scream, but we managed to enjoy ourselves fthough often we cou1dn't control ourselvesb. But our friends helped us through these times with smiles and humor. J eez, all Ido around here is work! Just a LITTLE crowded, don't ya think guys? 7th graders leam the rigor of Army training in Mrs. McKinney's PE class. 10 it 2 All this paper work is killing me!

From wild clothes to rings through noses. Wednesday, Nerd Day, showed some real classics! Thursday, Hat, Shades, and Tie Day showed some crazy 45 6 hats! There was the egg-toss and three legged race, and Friday was the big day, with the tug of war during lunch and the announce- ment of Kim Stroup and Winston Campbell as King and Queen that night at the talent show.

Working with several communi- ty groups the council sought to assist the DYA in publicizing its activities and improving its teen related offerings, assist and im- prove in the lunch program at the school, enlist support for a full time teen counselor at the school, and support the Red Cross in its effort to solicit youth involvement in the Red Cross service. The council also scheduled and coordinated all homecoming and spirit week festivities. These in- cluded the traditional class com- petitions and dress up days, a variety show, half-time ceremonies, and a dance.

The delegates were Chris Lowell, Laura Rader, Christine O'Brien, Katie Liermann, Steve Liermann, Winston Campbell, and Rachelle Fitch. Their sponsor was Mrs. Rushing. Chris Lowell was the delegationls ambassador and Christine O'Brien gave the coun- try's opening speech before the General Assembly of 2,000. Even before they went to the Hague, the delegates put in lots of hard work. They sponsored a raffle and sold food at the Basketball games. Oops . . . !7l4C9'p7'f8z!'l Boy, this typing is hard work!

R A Some of the delegates visited the Nicaraguan Embassy in Bonn Where they talked to the am- bassador, who answered many of their questions about Nicaragua. Based on what the ambassador told them and what they already knew, the delegates wrote, polish- ed, and repolished their resolutions until they were ready to go. Each delegate wrote a resolution for their MUN committees. The resolution dealt with whatever the committee was to talk about. Then on the first day there, the delegates walked around and approached other people on their committee and tried to convince them to sign and support their resolution. Although it wasn't a vacation, and despite all the hard work they put in, the delegates had a good time and somehow survived the hectic week. MUN continued through the Spring when a delegation from BAHS attended the NHSMUN in New York City. x Bamberg's ROTC was active and alive in 1985-86! The cadets of the 51st AJROTC Battalion led a very active role in support of communi- ty and school activities. The ac- tivities included numerous perfor- mances by various Color Guards, Fancy Drill Team demonstrations, support of the Community NEO exercises, Buddy Poppy sales for the VFW and performances for the Armed Forces European Exchange System Appreciation Day 85 . In addition the cadets proved knowledgeable of basic military skills having participated in exten- sive hands on training with the MIGAI Rifle and Gas Chamber Exercises. The most enjoyable day of each week was Class Av uniform inspection day. During that period each cadet was in- spected for appearance, military bearing and general knowledge of the AJ ROTC.

This group found itself with plenty of work. A positive attitude rewarded the group with nine issues of the legen- dary TOWN CRIER, the best-yet issue of REFLECTIONS, and this, the yearbook you're reading now! These students learned new mean- ings for the words writing, editing, rewriting, meeting deadlines, designing, and glueing. Par- ticipants included: Becky Ridge, R. Anderson, C. O'Brien, K.

The first was a short adaption of the beginning of UP THE DOWN STAIRCASE presented at the Homecoming Variety Show. In December a three act play Visit to a Small Planet was performed for the Honors Tea. A one act was also performed in the spring. March was the month for drama. The club participated in the DoDDS drama fest and workshop and presented The Glass Menagerie at, the Music and Theater Center.

' jlgmf' Q' The 1986 Basketball Barons team was not as glorious as the 1985 team which garnered the European Small Schools Cham- pionship. But then they weren't the same team either. Coach Giac- chino's players were largely new and lacking varsity experience. Previous starters either graduated or moved on to other schools in the typical army rotation. Never- theless, the season was not without its victories. Spirit remained high on the team and much court ex- perience was gained. The team included Coaches G and Knight, manager G. Cummins and players R. Cline, T. Brunelle, E. Royster, L. Hasberry, B. James, J. Thompson, F. Lane, J. Williams, B. Redmond, A. Bellowry, O. Brown and A.
