Homecoming ew Traditions Many changes were made for the 1983 addition of Homecoming at BHS. The Student Council strived for quality not quantity, focusing on major activities instead of many small ones. The first annual pre- game Barbecue and the largest turn out that Beaverton has ever had for the Homecoming dance highlighted the activities. Homecoming week began the preceeding Friday with an assem- bly introducing the princesses. Vice president in charge of activi- ties, Dan Lavey, introduced the princesses to the floor. Each prin- cess was greeted by student body President, Tom Harbolt, with a kiss and flowers. Senior princess Julie McMorine remarked, Being a princess really added to the excit- ment of my Senior year. The following Friday was the for- mal introduction of the princesses. With an escort of their choice, each princess was given the chance for the student body to get to know them. Also on Friday, the first an- nual barbecue was held an hour be- fore the Football game in the bar- becue pit. Hamburgers were served and the student band Paradox performed. Rhythm B Cathy Ber- geron commented, lt was a good idea. I would like to see it become a tradition. During half-time Friday night, under clear skies, Princess Susan Birndorf was crowned by 1982 queen Kara Hallock with the assis- tance of masters of ceremonies Daniel P. Lavey. To add to the fes- tivities, the Beaverton Beavers beat league rival Aloha 31-8. Concluding the week was the sec- ond annual Masquerade dance held on Saturday night. With a turn out of 500 students it became the largest in-school dance Beaver- ton has ever had. Fire squad secre- tary Renee Rocker said, lt was just a total bashf' 24 Homecoming 'T Johanna Cherry is greeted with a kiss by Student Body President Tom Harbolt, Caro- lyn Beeson and Mike Androsky cook burgers at the first annual Homecoming Barbeque.

They're Playing Our Song Successful fall The fall musical They're Play- ing Oar Song, was a very enter- taining production about a lyricist and musician who fall in love, break up, and finally end up to- gether. lt was set in the late 70's and was extremely funny. The plot of They're Playing Our Song was simple and lighth- earted, but it was given more depth and flavor by the creative perfor- mances of the cast and by the di- recting and choreography of James Erickson. Wonderful choreography laced with singing and dancing, and a darling Jitterbug number choreographed by cast members David Wickwire and Melissa Bryan made the show exciting to watch. play David Wickwire added, Choreo- graphing the J itterbug number was a great experience? They're Playing Our Song was a story about a lyricist named So- nia fJanel Jaroszl and a musician named Vernon QRandall Davidsonj who were to write songs together, but end up falling in love. Both characters had three Voices in- side of them that told them their inner feelings. Sonia's voices were played by Patsy Vranizan, Kathy Lootens, and Melissa Bryan. Vernon's voices were played by Mike Androsky, David Wickwire, and Mike Lee. Each time Vernon or Sonia had a thought, their three voices appeared. When the voices appeared they would be dressed the same and tell Sonia and Vernon what they were feeling. This was creatively done. The story continued as the musi- cian and the lyrisist fell in love, out of love, and finally in love. The play took place in the studio theatre with a spectacular stage design. They're Playing Oar Song ended happily, with a dance finale and all eight characters on stage. The play was a success due to the efforts of the cast members in qual- ity routines. Leading lady Janel Jarosz commented, They're Play- ing Our Song was an exciting play with a fun castf' 26 Theylre Playing Our Song
