Show some spirit! Iibove: Leslie McLaughlin, Greg Moll and Lynn Teland dress as punks. )irectly Above: Noelle Marcotte, Carla lutchinson, and Julia McConnell show some pirit. Although students at BHS are usually full of energy and school pride, one week each fall is set aside for everyone to show just how spirited we can be. Preceeding the homecoming football game. Spirit Week is the time for students as classes and as individuals to show their super-spirit. The week began with a traditional favorite, Clash Day, a wonderful, bizarre occasion, for the halls were teeming with loud colors, as well as unique combinations of stripes, plaids, dots, and mis-matched socks. This craziness was then car- ried over for Punk Day — the first of its kind at BHS — as the school was faced with an epidemic of green-hair-itis. Chains slung around waists, as well as safety pins worn through both clothes and ears added to the freaky atmosphere, while mini- skirts and leather pants brought the streets of New York City right home to our suburban New Eng- land. The display of school spirit continued on Thursday with Costume Day when ghosts and witches prowled the halls in search of poor, uncos- tumed souls to torment. Friday marked the climax of Spirit Week as the students donned our school colors for Blue and White Day. This was also the day when the class halls were transformed in the exciting Annual Hall Decorating Contest. For the second year in a row the class of 1984 dominated with their Haunted Hall; while the juniors placed a close second for their interpretation of Heaven and Hell. Honorable Mentions were awarded to the freshman Fifties Hall, as well as the sophomores for their version of Heaven and Hell. Each class put in tremendous effort for this successful activity. Closing the week was the Pep Rally, the chance for the student body to all gather as a whole and cheer on the athletic achievements of BHS. The marching band roused the crowd as they showed their Superband Stuff while the majorettes and Cheerleaders performed classy routines. All in all, the week was not only excihng and fun, but most definitely full of SPIRIT! Above Right: The first place senior hall contained a tombstone listing all the senior names.

Adding to the intensity of the occasion, brisk air erJivened the grandstand crowds as they gathered to see not only the game, but espeaally the crowning of the 1984 Homecoming Queen. Glancing around, old friendly faces smiled as graduates were joyfully reunited with classmates and friends, giving the day an extra touch of au- tumn magic. Following the first half of the game and an outstanding performance by the BHS Super- band, the royal-red convertible rounded the track carrying ' the five finalists for Homecoming Queen. Reacting to the cheers from the crowds, the girls smiled and waved, trying to conceal their excitement and anxious anticipation. In keeping with school tradition, the finalists were met at the end of the ride by their proud fathers who escorted them onto tHe football field. Les- lie Jelalian, Amy Birmingham, Kim Colliton, and Sandy Richards were announced as mem- bers of the court and presented with flowers, while Joyce Hennrikus was crowned the 1984 Homecoming Queen.
