The Senate has done several efiili - money raising activities to increase its class gift funds. They participated in the school yard sale, sold senior shirts and held an excellent Sadie Hawkins -5:5 is dance. One of the hardest things was finding out what to get. Some of the ideas were new trees for the commons, the letters BWHS on one of the practice field hills, a new thunderbird outfit, the words Bellevue West engraved in the concrete balcony. They finally decided on a Juke Box. All in all, with Senior Senate at the helm, there would ' mostly be smooth sailing as the class of '88 looked onward in eager anticipation at the strange new world . in the not-so-far distance called . . . life after school.
