Enjoying the band at the prom are Senior Mizell Stewart and his date, Tracie Sprinkle. I thought they were going to play Glenn Miller all night, but the band turned out to be pretty good. said Mizell. if ,r,t,, .Q , 'sg , 'fx t - ntl 3556 . 5:5 wr , M at T. lllll , Q Up Where We Belong The total focus of the junior class year came to fruition on May 20th as twolhundred forty couples dined and danced at Sherwyn Banquet Hall in Mayfield Heights. It was a fantastic evening and I enjoyed dancing. commented Iunior Donna Soltis. Members of the junior class, espec- ially the advisory board members, worked for many months to prepare for this one special night. Selling lol- lipops, hosting carwashes, and various other fund raisers were neces- sary in order to defray the cost of this gala event. The most profitable fund raiser was selling M8rM's, which needed the class SL500. It seems as though there are always problems to overcome and this year was no different. During the voting process for queen, an unprecedented event occured, there was a tie for queens position between Vickie Kunkel and Halle Berry. An even more unprecedented event then occured to settle the tie, a coin was tossed! The flip determined Halle Berry as the 1983 Prom Queen. What should have been a happy event turned into disaster for the loser , Vickie. It all happened so fast that I didn't even realize what the implica- tions would be. she said.

The 1982-83 school year will long be remembered as a year filled with diversity, especially when it came to the weather. During the entire year the only month it didn? reach 70 degrees was Ianuary! In fact, in early March a group of Bedford students had a beach party at the Walton Hills Lake. Senior Tim Uher, who attended The Ins and the out-of-season party, said, The idea was wild and the party was cool as hell. However, later in the year, we had more snow for Easter than we had for Christmals, and a snowstorm almost cancelled school in April. The weather was not the only extreme though, the past year was one of many new beginnings and sad endings. It was the year that E.T. be- came a national celebrity as well as the winning float at Homecoming . . . and the year when M A S H came to an end after 13 years on the air. To commemerate the last show Mrs. Kozak's fifth Sz sixth period College Writing class had a party. Mrs. Kozak commented I've watched M A S H for a long time and I'm a real fan of the show. I thought the last show f ' CA was worth remembering, so when my class asked to have a 'Mash Bash', I said OK! . The party was a lot of fun, said senior Karan Tomiselli, everyone dressed up like characters from the show, we had pizza, and lis- tened to music from the Korean War period. Another high point of the year Cuts of '83 came when Michael Stanley ad- dressed the student body in a special assembly. He spoke about success and becoming successful, a topic the lead- er of MSB was well qualified to discuss. 1983 was also the year that Cleveland saw The Who give their last concert in the U.S. Tickets were available by mail only, and a few BHS students were able to get tickets. Iunior jim Duber, one of the people lucky enough to attend this farewell performance commented, The concert just blew me away. It was great music and a fantastic light show. FAMILIAR FACE. Michael Stanley, who is usually the headline attraction at places like Blossom, graced the stage at Bedford this spring at an assembly honoring top students. WIND BLOWN. Another chapter in the weird weather facts for 1983 will have to include tornado damage incurred during a severe storm that hit in early May damaging this Bedford Heights home. News Events 17
