Bellmont High School - Legend Yearbook (Decatur, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 224 of the 1980 volume:

FILLING THE GAP Drivers training was the biggest thing that could ever happen to someone waiting to get their license. Sure it meant a lot of lec- tures and hours of driving time, but for some reason that just didn ' t matter. Even the waiting for your turn to get behind the wheel was no hastle, as it was easy for Tammy Busick, Lisa Wellman and Karla Tinnel to pass the time. Different people see things differently. Some may see Bellmont as just another building, while others may see it as an educational institution. Whatever it may be, it ' s where each of us will spend four years of our lives. 1080 LEGEND VOLUME 13 BELLMONT HIGH SCHOOL 1000 E. NORTH ADAMS DRIVE DECATUR, INDIANA 46733 We ' re part of a changing generation With each new day there is a new complaint, the biggest and most common, being Nothing ever changes. But, everything changes, some are just more noticeable than others. The biggest year-to-year change is in the stu- dents. Do you see exactly the same people year after year? Of course not, each year new faces go racing by, faces you have never seen before, faces that may soon become best friends. Ted Hutker and Sam Schnurr take it easy before the mad rush to first period. The Band of Braves start Halloween off with a laugh as Marie Miller, Cindy Macklin, Elaine Miller, Patty Green, Lisa Turner, Teresa Woebbeking, and Connie Schueler parade down Second Street. Alan Lautzenhiser spends the last few minutes of study hall relaxing from an overloaded day of classes. 2— Opening Bellmont survived the biggest change in staff this year, since Monmouth, Decatur, and St. Joseph consolidated in 1967. Yes, eleven new teachers were busy doing what they do best . . . edu- cate. The athletes had to deal with many changes too. Thirteen out of thirty coaching positions were put into new hands. This wasn ' t the only change in the Athletic Department. For the first time in the history of Bellmont, women ' lib showed its power, and seveil girls participated in cross country a once-known all male sport. Do you take the same classe year after year? No way! Each nev year there is a new variety o classes to fit into your schedule. Nothing really ever stays th same, everything keeps in step witl the changing times. hy stay home when you can go out and ave a good time? Especially if you can go ) the Halloween parade like Stu Smith, arry Barnes, Greg Logan, Scott Faurote, teph DesJean, and Deb Hill. Tammy Kable and Vic Kable draw on all of their past knowledge to answer the questions on the SAT. f 1  If ■ w35l T 2flB jJI Wail Bfc 1 i ' .PmK mmm % i ilSJw nti r -A J JB0 %5k f A B X ■■■■ : ' ' .flA HL isB A 8ra % I j H bI H ' 1 B 1 0flma Opening — 3 First day jitters pass by quickly Another year . . . another BHS . . . new faces . . . old faces . . . new friends . . . old friends . . . new teachers . . . new classes ... all made a small part of the semi-new routine. The first time getting off the bus or out of the car and seeing the huge mass of bricks made us all a little nervous. Weren ' t you afraid of stumbling into the wrong class and feeling like a complete fool, or getting to the end of the lunch line and remembering that your money is still at home on your dresser? The first day jitters were all over- come as everything fell into place and the new experiences became just a part of life. Stu Smith finds an ornery way to keep lunch from getting boring and poor Missy Macke gets stuck with the mess. Ken Petruska, Ron Bedwell and John Brune do their share of the work on the freshman float which had the theme of Bad News for the Bulldogs. Ted Porter tries not to move while he poses for his senior picture. 4 — Opening Coach Hays demonstrates the proper pro- cedure of how to tackle the quarterback to the defensive linesmen. Mike Lehrman learns the art of melting grease to fry mushrooms in Home Man- agement class. Junior Barry Barger gets ready for a cross country meet. Barry led the Harriers as one of the team captains. Opening — 5 Is anything happening tonight? When the final bell rang at 2:45, it didn ' t take long before the brick building was emptied as the stu- dents left school to go . . . well, just where did everyone go after school hours? For those athletes who were in season, there were practices or games and many students went to work. Others who were lucky enought not to have homework, added extra miles to their cars as they cruised town. Fast food hang- outs like McDonalds and Burger Chef provided after-school snacks for the hungry and television enter- tained the bored on the average weekday afternoons and evenings with Real People or Mork and Mindy. Weekends were different though. They were the times for parties, dates, games, band compe- titions, youth group activities, shopping, playing cards, football games on Sunday or T. P.-ing on Friday nights. There was always something that moved the weekend hours swiftly by. Monday always came around again with everyone back in class waiting for the 2:45 bell and hear- ing the old familiar question once again, Is anything going on tonight? Jo Synder and Laurie Thieme portray Raggedy Ann and Andy while Dana Cus- ter is disguised as Pinocchio. Senior Annette Schaekel carefully lines up a shot while her interested opponent looks on. Sophomore Nolan Scheumann devours his dessert with gusto at a youth group Christmas party. 6— Extra Activitiei eniors Dave Ulman, Jim Brune, Bryan !owans, Jeff Sanderson, and Doug Hin- ky display their costumes at Kerry hatcher ' s Halloween party. lr.

Where would we be Without them? They are worth so much. With who else Can you let down your mask To show your real face? They always seem to know Whether to leave you alone, Or to try to cheer you up. Why? Because you ' re Friends . . . With who else could you Do so many ridiculous things And yet, have so much fun? And, do you know Anyone else with who You could laugh with for hours coming years Over nothing? Have you every noticed, Even the slowest day Is not as boring when you ' re with Friends . . . A friend is a shoulder to cry on, An ear to bend, a good time And a good laugh. They will be our memories in the future Of the good ' ole days. But most of all They were here when we needed them To understand. Where would we be without Friends . . . Using the extra minutes before school starts, seniors Dave Reidenbach, Jeff Franze, John Macklin, and Mike Lehrman try to catch a few zzzzz. Lab partners Chris Frey and Rhonda Keuneke, take a minute out of their expe- riment to flash a smile for the camera. Rich Loshe, Sam Schnurr, Ron Pilking ton, Scott Macklin, Jim Solik, and Mark Wellman shoot the breeze to pass the time before school. forsing around after a hard practice are restling buddies Jeff Franze and Barry larnes. What better way to spend the day with friends than the senior trip to Washing- ton, D.C. Sharing new experiences with old friends are Julie Teeple, Lisa Aurand, Linda Voglewede, Mary Kay Schwartz and Mr. Hanson. ■m ■■ BK rhe familiar expression of SENIORITIS s evident on the faces of Steph DesJean, Lisa Kern, Joyce Darling, Dee Coyne and Linda Meyer, but not on Jenny Springer whose face is hidden as they wait for the days before spring break to pass. Friends — 9 Bellmont students let loose by going CRAZY! Crazy!! Crazy!! Crazy!! All those silly little moments in our daily routine when everything cut loose and we let our hair down and did some of the craziest things ever. Later, we even wondered what possessed us to do such things. Crazy? Just what did it really mean? For instance, crazy was food fights in the lunch room or doing Chinese fire drills at Second and Monroe. Perhaps it could have been wear- ing an eyes, nose and mustache get up to Algebra class just for laughs. Or maybe, going absolutely crazy at pep sessions with Rock ' N ' Roll and yelling at varsity ball games, these were all crazy moments. Rounding the D-wing corner on Homecoming Day, stu- dents were greeted by four geese waddling down the hall. Even though our peers may not have approved of such behavior, being crazy showed that we can let loose with our fellow class- mates, and acting a little out of the ordinary just might make the daily grind a little easier to bear. Rock ' N ' Roll is demonstrated by some of the student body at one of the pep ses- sions. Dave Reidenbach shows his support for the senior girls powder puff team by parading the halls as one of the cheerlead- ers. Sophomore Todd Grim shows off his cra- ziness with his glasses, nose and mustache get-up for dress-down day during Home- coming week. 10 — Crazy Side of School The senior class displays their enthusiastic spirit at a pep session at which they won the spirit stick. During typing class sophomore Pat Mas- sonne flaunts his masked face and humor- ous attire.

Practices Moments of glory earned by practice For the athletes and coaches at ellmont there was much more to leir sport than just competition, ' here were the long hours spent aily on improving each individu- l ' s performance. Whether the ours were spent on the football eld, in a pool, on the gym floor, or n the mats, all those sports had ne thing in common. PRAC- ICE! The athletes spent hour after our, doing the same thing over nd over again, until every minute etail was perfected. But the ath- jtes were not the only ones who ' orked away their extra hours. The managers and coaches spent just as much time doing their share. They spent hours after prac- tices, washing, folding uniforms, and taking care of the equipment. The coaches had to make sure all the last minute details were taken care of and they also shared the team ' s excitement of victory and the disappointments of defeat. Not one team at Bellmont could have existed if there were not athletes, coaches, and managers ready to put forth the effort and practice, and there would not have been as many successful seasons either. Lee Ann Bradburn catches her breath as she swims her practice laps in the Bell- mont pool. Coach Hebble watches as some of the reserves wait to practice their serving techniques. B. J.

Practices — 13 Show Your Legs Contest adds to Homecoming Week The complaints of the same old boring schedule, day after day faded away with the arrival of Homecoming Week. Each class spent their evenings working on floats and the junior and senior girls filled their early morning hours learning the techniques of powderpuff football. Wednesday afternoon a few Bellmont males donned cheerlead- ing skirts to lend their powderpuff players moral support as they bat- tled out the annual game. When the final buzzer rang the senior girls came out on top with the score of 14-0. Greg Logan and Tim Ehlerding won the tricycle race during the Homecoming games followed by Dave Ulman who devoured his pie first and a four way tie between Brad Curtis, Greg Logan, Stu Smith, and Tony Meyer in the sack race. Lisa Killian and Teresa Mc Bride finished the three-legged race first and Vic Kable managed to have 37 marshmallows stuffed in his mouth to win that contest. The show us your leg contest was added to the Homecoming events, with the winner being senior Brad Curtis. Finally, Friday arrived with a pep session led by the faculty and the final voting for king and queen candidates. That evening as the Homecoming Parade drew near the end the judges voted the senior float the winner leaving only the anticipation of the game and the new king and queen of 1979 to come. f L J I } 0 I H ■1 -g H J H t! i If- ' HHl ™i III ■ 1 m § ■ 1 ■• ' p . - 1 «t % %  ... we can dance, dance, dance.

Finally after a long day, the parade, and half of the game, the candidates and the court filed out on the track to await the announcement of this year ' s royal couple. As the music and the crowd quieted, senior class presi- dent, Tim Ehlerding, announced Dana Custer and Pete Braun as the 1979 Homecoming Queen and King.

Student Council president, Scott Faurote, introduced candi- dates Dee Dee Coyne, Susan Roth, Jenny Springer, and their attend- ants as they were escorted into the gym. As a hush fell over the crowd, Susan Roth was announced the Sil- ver Arrow Queen. The after-game dance had a good turn-out as the students were entertained with the music of Dynasty.

How many times in the past had that question been asked at athletic events, but in the last couple of years Bellmont has made a name for itself and this year was no exception. Many practices filled with hard work helped the girls ' teams claim titles this year as the volleyball team won sectional along with the basketball team who also grasped the NEIAC title. The bowling team returned from Greenfield as the state champs. This year also proved victorious for the boys as the swim team won the Lewis Cass Invitational and their fifth sectional sending seven boys to Muncie to compete in the state finals. Bellmont ' s grapplers pulled through once again and won se tional, regional, had two semi-sta champs and sent three boys t state of which two placed secon and one placed third. More important than the titli each team tucked under their bel were the experiences gained an the knowledge of each athlete th; he participated in the victories his team. Smith brothers. Stu and Phil, wait impa- tiently for the first place diver to be announced so they can receive their sec- ond and third place ribbons. The collection of trophies from bowling state tells the story of the girl bowlers ' suc- cess as it is displayed at the Winter Des- sert Banquet in front of emcee Jim Brune. Steve Carter holds up the wrestler ' s newly received NEIAC trophy as he and his fel- low co-captain.

Seniors Doug Bradburn, Jim Brune, and Doug Hinsky look over the track certifi- cates they received at the Spring Dessert Banquet. Bradburn was the only track member to advance to Regional where he competed in the 200 meter dash. Championship — 19 It ' s our last and it ' s almost gone Well, it finally arrived! The year we had been waiting for since kin- dergarten. The year we would receive our diplomas. The year when we were the seniors, and with the arrival of our last year came S- E-N-I-O-R-I-T-I-S. Grades tended to slip as the social life increased but we had a good excuse; it was our big year to live it up. As we counted down the days to graduation, we also realized that this would be the last time we would ever participate in some of the activities that had occupied so many hours in the past. These sen- timents soon faded though when we ate another school lunch or sat through another one of Mr. Han- son ' s government classes. Next year, this time, we will all be spread out and doing something different as we pull away from Bellmont. Some will have full time jobs, some may be married, while others will be back to cracking the books again, but this time at col- lege. Wherever we may be, when- ever we stop and look back on the year of 1980, we will remember it as the year for us to shine. Senior Jeff Franze stops for a minute I help a classmate, Kay Brasher, retrie her keys which were locked in her car.

Mr. Kaough demonstrates to junior Penny Clem how she is to faint during a love song at an evening practice. Sir Harry (Doug Bradburn) looks utterly awesome as Princess Winnifred (LeAnri Bradburn) hints to him about marriage to Lady Larken (Mary Hann). 22- Plays BHS theatre presents two musicals i An eight student cast, under the direction of Mr. Kaough, devel- oped a love story with a slight twist as they presented The Fantastiks on Bellmont ' s stage last fall. The comical musical showed the effects of reverse psychology as two fathers who wanted their children to marry, built a wall to separate them in hopes their own curiosity would cause them to meet and hopefully fall in love. Mr. Kaough ' s Theater Produc- tions classes worked on the stage sets, lighting, make-up, and cos- tumes for The Fantastiks and Once Upon A Mattress ' , the other musical presented this year. Once Upon A Mattress , pre- sented in April, was a satirical comedy patterned after the The Princess and the Pea and required a large cast, totaling 28 students. Musical tributes went to Mrs. Doonan and Mr. Pennington who worked with the musical parts in both shows. Princess Winnifred (LeAnn Bradburn) bows in majestic style to newly met King Sextimus, played by sophomore Phil Smith as other cast members look on. Senior Steph DesJean applies the finishing touches to her make-up as she prepares for the first performance of The Fantas- tiks. orking on the lighting effects for the usical Once Upon A Mattress is sen- r Joe Oshry. Plays— 23 High gas prices didn ' t get us down Your 16th birthday came and went and not all that much changed but one month later ... it happened! You could finally get your license . . . well, that was if you could pass the test. Then your bicycle was pushed back into the corner of the garage and you couldn ' t dare to be seen walking anywhere because it was uncool . Or was it? Gas prices kept climbing and more and more bicyles, motorcy- cles, mopeds and pedestrians were hitting the streets of Decatur. Sure, some people still cruised daily but they spent a lot of time sitting in McDonalds, parking lots or Coney King chatting, watching traffic or moving into someone else ' s car to help stretch the gas tank. The economy might have affected everyone a little but for the most part, Decatur ' s kids still found a way to get out and around to do as they always had done before. Robby Vanderhart leaves Bellmont to go to work on the I.C.T. program on his 650 Yamaha. Hung Hguyen pedals his way to school to beat the high gas prices and to get some exercise. Driver ' s training cars are a common sigh during June and July as the students lean various driving aspects such as parking and city, highway, and night driving. For all the students who don ' t have thei licenses or don ' t have their own vehicle the school bus system wants to be thei car. 24 — Transportation Bruce Scott and his passenger, Missi Fau- rote, get into his Volkswagen which is his transportation to and from school. Freshman Eric Stockman found a way around riding the bus, his Honda Hobbit takes him where he wants to go. Transportation — 25 BHS presents The Music Machine The curtain ope ns, the band begins to play. People start danc- ing, telling jokes, laughing, and singing. The curtain closes. It was all that simple as the 1980 Pops Concert The Music Machine was presented in two performances May 2nd and 3rd. Well, not quite that simple. The Pops Concert was a lot of hard work for the band, the choir, and the Art Department. It took hours of rehearsals to put the show together to present to the public. They charged a small admission fee which was divided among the three departments involved and to pay expenses. Credit is due to the emcees: Lori Adkins, Scott Aurand, Rod Ever- ett, and Judy Harvey; and to the four faculty members: Mrs. Doo- nan, Mr. Pennington, Mrs. Pilking- ton, and Miss Reynolds; who, along with many Bellmont stu- dents, made the Pops Concert pos- sible. Sophomore, Kelly Simons really gets into the beat at a dress rehearsal for the 1980 Pops Concert— The Music Machine. The Band of Braves and the drill team perform the theme from Star Trek as they are directed by Miss Reynolds. Senior Ted Porter sings his solo One Voice while members of the conceri choir accompany him during the concert. 26 — Pops Concert Jim Scherry and Mary Hann dance along with other members of the Brave Genera- tion during their performance of Movin ' Right Along. enior Laurie Kenney, one of the three jloists in the Pops Concert, sings the isco hit — On the Radio, by Donna ummer.

Pops Concert — 27 Prom 1980-This One ' s For You E ven though it was raining out- side when 125 couples arrived at Bellmont on prom night, as soon as they were through the door to the commons they entered into the aura of a flower garden. Dimmed lights, covered walls, decorated tables, and paper flow- ers were the decorations prepared by the juniors for their theme This One ' s For You to help set the mood for an evening of socializing and dancing. Music for the dance was pro- vided by Phase III and ham salad sandwiches, cookies, and punch were served by sophomore class officers Phil Smith, B. J. Fau- rote, and Emily Kunkel. The Sting was the only after- prom festivity and it was presented in the auditorium from 1:00 A.M.- 3:00 A.M. to complete the 11th prom at Bellmont. Laura Kenney and Mark Gerwig share a laugh with the other couples at their table while the band takes a break. Cooling off with a glass of punch is Jim Brune and his date Rhonda Keuneke. Bonnie Werling and Chris Uhrick returr, to their table from the dance floor to kick j back and relax for a few minutes. Tony Meyer and Missy Irwin exchange smiles as they dance to the music played by Phase III. Sophomore B. J. Faurote performs one of his duties as class vice-president, serving punch at the Junior-Senior Prom. Seniors, Jeff Sanderson and Steph Des- Jean share a quiet moment amid the many dancers on the floor.

Mixed feelings are evident in the variety of expressions as the members of the grad- uating class moved their tassels to their left as they leave their title of seniors behind in exchange for graduates. Eldon Fink offers a hug of congratula- tions and farewell to an old high school friend. Steph DesJean, following the com- mencement ceremony. 30 — Graduation Lots of hassle for a little tassle The day the 228 graduating sen- iors thought would never arrive finally came and with it the mixed emotions always felt when you want to move ahead and yet you don ' t want to leave anything behind. As the seniors filed into the gym they realized it was their last chance to all be together and their parents knew their kids were no longer kids but people heading out into the world. Valedictorian Tim Blomenberg and salutatorian Tony Allison both shared their thoughts with their classmates as they gave their speeches along with the class presi- dent, Tim Ehlerding. Finally after the diplomas were handed out, the moment came when Mr. Bittner announced the Class of 1980 graduates. As the graduates left the gym they left their high school days behind them but the friends they made and the memories they stored left with them. im Blomenberg, valedictorian of the lass of ' 80 shares his outlook on the life lead of him and wishes his classmates lccess in their futures. 3yce Darling receives her diploma and sod wishes for the future from Mr. Kiess 5 the school board members and her assmates look on. Nervousness and excitement mounts as the seniors proceed across the lawn just minutes before they entered the gymna- sium for graduation exercises. Graduation — 31 FILLING THE GAPS WITH ACTIVITIES During science club initiation, senio: Mark Gerwig makes sure the blindfold 01 junior Kathy Gilpin is secure. Are you going to the Sunshine meeting tonight? . . . Isn ' t there a B-club banquet on Tuesday? . . . These questions and others were heard regularly at Bellmont. Most of them were asked by members of the many organizations that existed at BHS, and other ques- tions by interested people. Whether it was Spanish Club, Quill and Scroll, or Band, numbers of students filled the ranks of every organization. Each club had its own goal: Spanish Club was to go to Spain, B-club was to honor the athletes, and Sunshine was to have a dance and honor their secret sunshine lady; and, of course, each had its own social aspect. Money was needed to reach these goals, and students were busy earning it. Everything from candy bars, chile dinners, to cheese and sausage, even working in the con- cession stands during ball games earned money for various groups. Being in a special organization led to new friends, and also field trips were taken which helped the students to learn and explore. Sophomore Susan Price looks disgusted as she sees what she had just eaten as a Ger- man Club initiative. Actually, it was strained spinach and carrot baby food. Junior Shelly Evans is being wrapped up by fellow classmate Dan Lengerich in a contest during the Octoberfest party for German Club. 32 — Organizations Division ghting the candle of judgement at the jill and Scroll initiation is senior Laura ;lley.

Organizations Division — 33 Clubs enjoy variety of activities Learning another language can be a rewarding experience as the members of the Spanish and Latin Clubs discovered. The Spanish Club celebrated Halloween with a masquerade party, they also made Christmas pinatas, a papier-mache figure filled with candy. As the pinata hung from the ceilings, blindfolded students broke them open. They were all different shapes and sizes, from a panda bear to an aardvark. The annual Mexican Dinner was a success with the profits going toward the trip to Spain planned for next year. The Latin Club members built a catapult that was entered in a con- test held at Fort Wayne. In April, the Club was eligible for the State Convention held at Ball State Uni- versity. They competed in contests such as Vocabulary Spelling, Art, and field and track events. The Latin club raised money by working in the concessions and selling candles for the Foreign Language Depart ment. Profits went to foreign trips. Latin Club — Front Row: L. Haugk, R. Feasel, K.

Spanish Latin Club — 35 German club inducts 10 new members The French Club ate in style this year as they made a trip to Le Cafe Johnell and the Epicurean Creperie, in Fort Wayne. For the first time the French I- IV students went to the Performing Arts Center to listen to a band from Canada called Suroit; the stu- dents were able to see the real cul- ture behind French music. The French Club was also active in money making projects as they sold food at the football games and sold flowers for Valentines Day. Each year in Germany the Okto- berfest is celebrated and last Octo- ber the German Club carried on this tradition with a party at Mrs. Heimann ' s house. The Christmas party was also followed in German fashion with a Weihnachtsfest and a few months later an ice skating party was held at Taya Thieme ' s pond. Among the German parties which were held throughout the year was an outing at the Heidel- burg restaurant in March. Anna Tharp, Barb Hamrick, Janice Nevil, Dorothy Cowans, Kelly Davis, Tonja Leisk, and Faye Bargy play the French card game Roule as they practice their French pronunciation.

To have the feeling of satisfac- tion as you experienced your first standing ovation. Hitting that important high note for the first time in front of a full house. This was only a sample of the satisfac- tion that went along with being a choir member. The choir participated in many concerts throughout the year. They presented an Autumn and a Christ- mas Concert. They also teamed up with Carroll High School Choir in a combined concert. The Madrigal Dinner proved to be a favorite event. The Brave Generation and members of the Concert Choir made up the court and servants for the program. In April, the Brave Generation traveled to St. Louis for a contest. During their stay, they had a river- boat dinner, visited the zoo and The Great Gateway to the West. On the last day they went to the 6 Flags Amusement Park. Th e choir, Brave Generation and band got together once again and made the 1980 Pops Concert one of the best ever. Choir— 39 Nothing less than total perfection Perfection.

The Distributive Education Club of America also had high school students working in area businesses, dealt in the wide field of merchandising. DECA offered many different nationwide con- tests where the students competed with each other similar to the real business world along with the on the job training program. The ICT program worked with high school boys who wish to make a career in the field of Industrial Arts. The Industrial Co-operative Training students also worked half a day to gain the experience needed for the future.

Quill Scroll Student Council t5 Organized pep block returns to BHS Is it possible to bring back an old tradition? No, it can be done. For the first time in four years, Bellmont once again had an organ- ized Pep Block. The Pep Block totaled approxi- mately 200 students, consisting of both girls and boys. Led by the cheerleaders and their sponsors, the Pep Block invested in matching shirts. Promoting school spirit and backing the athletic teams were their main goals. The Art Club also put a lot of effort and hard work between the window painting contest in con- junction with the Calithumpian Week, a skating party and a Field Trip to Chicago. In Chicago the Art Club visited the Art Institute to see the modern works of art. They also made a dragon for the Halloween Parade. When decorations were in demand the school always turned to the Dabbers. They helped to decorate for both the Madrigal Dinner and the Pop ' s Concert. Alicia Schmidtt, Mrs. Pilkington and Lisa Killian work on the dragon to be entered in the Halloween Parade. The Art Club members are shown walking their dragon through the Halloween parade.

Senior, Jim Brune introduces the begin- ning of the 1980 Winter Dessert Banquet by introducing athletic director Mr. Bob Worthman. Being involved in the Science Club meant more than learning to dissect a frog or finding the atomic weight of an object. Sponsored by Mr. Journay, the Science Club took several field trips throughout the year. They vis- ited the Cook Nuclear Power Plant, The Chicago Museum of Science, and the Embassy Theatre in Fort Wayne. With each new year comes new members, therefore, an appropri- ate initiation was needed. The last item on the agenda for the Science Club was the Science Fair held at Bellmont in April. This gave the students a chance to display what they had learned throughout the year. The B-Club held the athletics dessert banquets in the commons, which recognized the new and old letter winners from all sports. Many students were striving for more varsity letters to put towards their B-Blankets. Studying a Nuclear Power Plant model are Karen Frey and Barry Reese during their fieldtrip to the plant.

The National Honor Society inducted into its membership 2 seniors and 17 juniors at the May 12 ceremony in the Bellmont audi- torium. In order to be eligible for the NHS, students had to obtain a B + average. Once these students have passed this qualification they filled out an activity sheet, and were evaluated by the teachers to deter- mine who would become new members of the National Honor Society. This year the senior members worked in concession stands at the basketball games to raise money. This money was used to pay for the new member ' s pins.

Nothing is more hectic than trying to finish your copy and work out your layouts to the exact pica when you know your deadline is up in an hour. The 1980 BRAVE TALK staff continued to publish issues of the school newspaper. Once again, they fulfilled their important task of keeping the student body informed of the many activities at Bellmont High School. The frantic, crazy world of Dl 18 last period each school day pro- duced another edition of the LEG- END. Seventeen juniors and sen- iors worked together to provide the only complete record of the school year at BHS. At times it all seemed worthless, no matter how hard you worked, nothing turned out the way you wanted it to. However, on the completion of your last layout, you were so happy you ' d met another deadline. There wasn ' t any time to take a break until the final page of both the BRAVE TALK and the 1980 LEGEND were finished. Then you could finally look back and have the satisfaction that you ' d com- pleted your final deadline. That is, until next year . . . 1980 LEGEND Staff— Front Row Sitting: D. Hill, D. Thieme, N.

I didn ' t have time to study. This is just great. I ' ve never heard of some of these things. Why on earth do we have to know the difference between a hypochondriac and a schizo- phrenic? Sound familiar? This has hap- pened to all of us at one time or another. Just exactly why did every teacher require the memorization of so many useless facts and fig- ures? What good will the Pythago- rean theorem do me when I ' m grey haired, and lost all of my teeth. Belive it or not, teachers were probably thinking of us, yes, each and every one of us.

No, I don ' t think so — I become spastic at the sight of worms. But you say it ' s required? What good will it do me anyway? Don ' t they offer anything worth- while such as Hairstyling I? Requirements were definitely not something most students looked forward to. Besides the required major needed in English, many other courses had to be plug- ged into schedules. The freshman and the sophomores each had to take a semester of P.E., and while the latter were caught up with their insect and leaf collections, the frosh were required to include math and a half year of health in their curriculum. Being a junior meant enrollment in a U.S. history course, and the seniors, whose lone requirement was a split year of government with a choice of either sociology, psychology, or econom- ics, were the first and possibly the last graduates to leave the halls of BHS with a major in social studies. In addition to the requirements, a wide range of electives were offered, with the counselors trying to discourage the scheduling of the often misused and abused studv hall. As for scheduling itself, the arena method was utilized for the second time thus having the poten- tial to eliminate ninety-five per cent of the expected conflicts if the students followed the correct pro- cedure. Sophomore Tom Hoffman and counselor, Mrs. Worthman, discuss elective possibili- ties for the oncoming school year. Is it true that the sophomores stick together through thick and thin? Maybe, but at the moment, these sophomores are more interested in being the next in line to pick up their identification cards so they can begin working out their schedules. Scheduling Required Electives — 57 Students compete in the classroom The race is on! Competition in the classroom and across the coun- try gave students the willingness to learn as they strived to be their best. Seniors matched wits with other seniors nationwide as they took the Scholastic Aptitude Test, while 136 juniors prepared themselves for the same test as they took its prelimi- nary, the PSAT. Various groups confirmed their competitiveness within the class- room as band members vied for chair positions and choir members Knowing that she has not performed up to her ability, Jani Sipe prepares to rip a seam out of her project in Advanced Clothing. The Battle of the Sexes has increased classroom competition as girls are ven- turing into new areas of study such as drafting. Concentrating on their sheet music, Rusty Rumschlag, Robbie Swygart, and Alan Miller do their part to stir up excitement at a home basketball game. Band members regularly compete for chair positions. and art students contended for either state-wide or local recogni- tion. Another type of competition that involved everyone seemed to be the most personal — competing against one ' s self to reach an estab- lished goal. Whether it involved struggling to improve one ' s accu- racy during a timed period in Typ- ing I or passing that long-dreaded history final that was expected to turn up a failing grade, students showed the needed determination to face up to any challenge. Often the challenge meant proving to ourselves and to others that we could accomplish anything we set our minds to. The classroom competitors at BHS had the drive and desire to be the best. Their strategy when they were faced with competition? They entered the race with confidence that they could bring home the blue. They were at their marks, they were set, and they were ready to go! 58 — Competition in class Winner ' s Adage If you think you are beaten, you are. If you think you dare not, you don ' t.

Competition in class — 59 Is it true cheaters never prosper? If mathematics rated more of a minus than a plus in your calcula- tions, the end of the nine weeks might have signaled the end of the world. However, you were not alone. Time and again, even the elite students admitted they had trouble making the grades they wanted. The knowledge the students gained always seemed to play second to those little letters that either meant getting the car on Friday night or being grounded until that below average grade climbed above aver- age. Making the grade was definitely the reason why cheating was such a problem. Students cheated because they didn ' t take the time to study or they just didn ' t have the time. While some students ' eyes wan- dered on test day because they felt it was unnecessary to know the material, others copied answers merely on account of pressure from their peers. However, grades weren ' t every- thing to everyone as many students chose to live with the grades they deserved. In the long run, they had discovered that it meant more to live with the C they earned rather than the A they could have cheated for, Dan Baumann would agree the eyes have it when quiz day comes around as he steals answers off Cindy Macklin ' s paper, (posed picture) There are just as many cunning ways to cheat as there are reasons for cheating as Tim Bultemeier is caught in the act while taking an exam in reading-writing workshop, (posed picture) Is too much emphasis put on making the grade?

You start out on life ' s highway, just out of high school, and at the very first fork in the road, you must decide whether to go into business or to attend col- lege. No problem, after all, it ' s only a game. Unfortunately, life in the real world is no game and every deci- sion made is vitally important to future success.

Money, in the form of Foreign Language Department head, Mr. Scheidler awards Latin major John Clark with his foreign language scholarship as Kevin Rumschlag enthusiastically gives him a congratulatory hand. scholarships, loans, and grants was available for almost any form of post high school training if the applicant knew how to apply and applied early. During the annual Awards Assembly held on May 21, 45 members of the graduating class were honored as they were named award winners with 30 being rec- ognized as Hoosier Scholars. Some seniors receiving honors were as follows: Tony Allison — Gilbert Award, Laura Ranly and Jim Brune — Worthman Grant, Dana Custer — Jack Dailey Schol- arship, Lynn Riffe — Kiwanis Club Scholarship, Greg Logan — Brad Miller Memorial, Jeff Franze and Steve Carter — Kent Buuck Memo- rial, Karen Frey and Scott Faurote —Adams County Medical Society Scholarship, Kenda Vanhorn — Ann Braun Memorial, and Jill Brown — Fred Isch Journalism Award. Those seniors capturing honors showed the true attributes of scho- lastic award winners — attendance, attitude, desire, citizenship, goals, and achievements. They take the game of life seriously.

Academics Scholarships — 63 Various ways to acquire knowledge Do you remember the time you stayed up all night trying to memorize the fifty states and their capitals? You began to wonder whether academics meant any- thing besides textbooks and memorization. On the other hand, the teachers attempted to make learning a little less tedious and a bit more interest- ing by adding variety and not rely- ing entirely on books and lectures. Thus, the students found there actually was another side to the learning process rather than just hittin ' the books. In the foreign languages, many students increased their vocabulary by play- ing games, designing Christmas cards, and singing songs. For those studying science in the B-wing, labs proved to make the theories easier to grasp, while down the hall, knowledge and practical expe- rience were gained by the business students who worked on problem sets. The sight of looms and the sound of buzzing saws were evi- dence that projects aided industrial and creative art students in acquir ing first-hand experience Although many of these method could only be used in selected sub ject areas, filmstrips, movies, am guest speakers were always a wel come sight in any classroom. However, don ' t think the list o methods stopped here for ther were so many different ways t learn. But as for those states am capitals? Keep on studyin because sometimes there is n other alternative. In the newly offered semester English course, Theater Production. Mr. Kaough explains to Clayton Smith. Patsy Serna. and Dave Hilyard how makeup can b used to promote aging. 64 — Different ways to learn First-year foreign language student, Liz Scheidler, increases her vocabulary by participating in a Latin bingo game. Freshman Stewart Braun realizes that he can learn by his mistakes as Mrs. Liechty offers her advice and assistance. Scott Faurote adds weight to his physics apparatus in order to compute the acceler- ation of the wagon as it climbs the inclined plane. Different ways to learn — 65 Keeping up with his assignments in Accounting I, John Walther works to fin- ish his problem set. Junior and senior trigonom etry and col- lege algebra students concentrate on com- pleting their final exam before the period ends. Julie Pearson knows cramming can be a tiresome affair as she takes a few minutes out of her study period to catch up on some lost sleep. 66 — Cramming Finals Is cramming the solution to Finals? Finals! Just mention the word and, at once, students panicked and their already feeble minds crumbled like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Students were convinced it was beyond the capabilities of even the Einsteins to remember every geometry theorem, chemistry for- mula, and U.S. History fact, let alone keep them straight. They felt as though they were expected to retain the information like a com- puter and recall it when the correct keys were punched. Nevertheless, the dreaded finals did descend upon nearly everyone. Although the administration did not require semester exams in any subject area, they did recommend finals be given in order to test each student ' s comprehension and bring everyone down to the same testing level. But what happened when you couldn ' t find the time to study for that BIG test and the weatherman predicting a major snowstorn failed you once again? The only hope left was cramming. Students could be found cramming during class, in lunch, between classes, and whenever time permitted. Often it meant jamming an entire semester of French into one night ' s work, and even though you studied A through M for hours, you were just out of luck when the test happened to cover N through Z . The best advice to take in hopes of avoiding these situations was to refrain from those last min- ute ram jams. And if studying ahead didn ' t seem to boost your test grades, well, you could always blame the weatherman. en though finals are no worry for Diane ngleton and Denny McBarnes in their ;aving class, they know projects com- se a major portion of their grade as they epare the loom for weaving. rst-hand experience proves to be the :st bet when it comes to finals as Greg jgan carves out wood pieces on the indsaw in Woods II. eshman Amy DesJean does some last inute cramming during her lunch mod hopes of aceing an important test.

The senior trip to our nation ' s capitol was an educational and worthwhile trip as shown here as they watch the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. -Academics Field Trips Moving out to where the action is It ' s one thing to read about it, but it ' s another to see it happen. This is how it is in the world of news . . . and so, also, in academ- ics. Realizing that it happens outside the classroom, many teachers scheduled field trips in and beyond the community so that their stu- dents could eyewitness their class- room study topics. Ball State University seemed to be the favorite of many groups as the astronomy classes toured its observatory, the Legend and Brave Talk staffs participated in Journal- ism Day at BSU, and also at the campus, the Latin classes com- peted against 20 other Indiana schools increasing their knowledge of the Latin language and the cul- ture of Rome. On November 13, 39 seniors boarded a 6:00 A.M. plane des- tined for Washington D.C. where they toured such sites as the Smith- sonian Institution and the Arling- ton Cemetery for a cost of $139. The senior class also spent an afternoon in May at the city court- house where they witnessed a mock jury trial. In October, the Biology II stu- dents toured the Eli Lilly company and in April they journeyed up to the Ft. Wayne State Hospital for the Handicapped to further their study in genetics. One stop on the Washington, D.C. trip was the grave of the late President John F. Kennedy as several seniors snap pictures of the site. Bus driver Bill Murray displays his musi- cal talent as he plays the pipe organ owned by the Embassy Theatre in Fort Wayne.

Academics Field Trips — 69 With the aid of his notecards, Doug Hin- sky concentrates on finishing his rough draft. Reading over the comments on her graded term paper is Mindy Engle while Beth Faurote and Scott Faurote anxiously await the return of their papers. 70 — Term papers Research papers — a taste of college Let ' s see. My research paper is due tomorrow. After changing my mind seven times, I have finally decided on a topic. If I do my research tonight, and finish my notecards and rough draft tomor- row before school, I can type it during my first period study hall. That leaves enough time to hand in the finished product during second period . . . doesn ' t it? Dream on! Any junior or senior enrolled in one of the three Gram- mar Review and Research Writing classes knew that starting and com- pleting a term paper in a single day was an impossibility. Besides being allowed to choose their own topics, students spent innumerable hours researching and writing before the typewriters began to tap. While the researchers familiarized themselves with note- card usage, thesis statements, and footnotes, they subconsciously pre- pared themselves for a procedure that would be put to use time and time again if they were college bound. But even after the semester came to a close and the students were haunted only by the nightmares and the imagined sounds of click- ing typewriters in the early morn- ing hours, most agreed that the work was well worth the learning experience. If nothing else, they learned that term papers had to be started earlier than the night before they were due. Joanie Hess begins to realize that typing errors are just one of the many difficulties encountered by students striving to com- plete assigned term papers. Scott Bransteter consults the card catalog hoping to find information concerning a selected topic. Mrs. Schauss explains the finer points of writing a term paper to her Grammar Review and Research Writing class. Term Papers — 71 FILLING THE GAPS WITH ATHLETES Barbie Lichtle shows extreme steadine: with a superior move during her balanc beam routine. Best sportsmanship, Bellmont? Sometimes that was questionable, but for the most part the fans were there; the crowds were going crazy; they were ready for action! And ACTION is exactly what they got as our athletes worked their way from sectional all the way to state. Bellmont wasn ' t known as a farmers school anymor e, Decatur was once again put on the map. With four sectional titles and three NEIAC championships, along with two runners-up in the state wres- tling tournament the name, Bell- mont, was heard state wide. Coming out a winner took hours of practice. For the girls ' swim team it meant months of morning practices besides a full practice after school. It really did the trick, for the first time ever the girls came out on top with a winning season. The boys ' swim team, varsity foot- ball team, baseball team and track team, also had their share of the early morning workouts. To the surprise of many, there was more to a sport than the athletes. There was Mr. Harant ' s Opportunity time and Mrs. Fitzpatrick ' s deadly demerits. The coaches and athletes put all their talents together to present Bellmont as it should be, one strong team. Taya Feasel, first year varsity swimmer, finishes the 100 yard breast stroke for the Squaws. Rich Loshe takes a break from the action as the defensive line goes in to do their stuff. 72 — Sports Division Denny Faurote cheers teammate Jeff Ben- tett on to a sectional crown. Sectional was inly the beginning for Faurote as he worked his way to state, claiming a second place finish. Sports Division — 73 Harriers observe title nine trend Remember when everyone was vo concerned with the boys mixing with the girls? Well now it has become a fact of life which every- one has to admit. We have coed dorms and coed P.E. classes, and now the Cross Country Harriers have followed the title nine trend with a coed team. Yes, girls competed with the boys and gave them plenty of com- petition. Elaine Moeller com- mented, We ' d run against other girl runners, but if there weren ' t any, we ' d run against the reserve teams. When asked how she felt, she replied, ' it ' s hard work, but I liked it. The Harriers once again excelled themselves as they ended their vic- torious year with a record of 63 wins and 33 losses. Junior Barry Barger improved his own personal best time to a 13:06 for the 2 1 : mile course break- ing the course record of 13:10 set by Jim Engle in 1976.

Halfbacks, Jeff Garner and Jeff Coyne led the Braves offensive attack with both gaining over 500 yards. The freshmen outscored their opponents 160-32 with two shut-outs in their perfect season. The future looks bright for the freshmen as they have fine talents on offense and defense. Things were not so bright for the reserves as they finished with a 5-4 season.

The Freshman team played in the Southern Wells Freshman Invi- tational, which is the only tourna- ment for the Freshman team, and came home with a first place. The Reserve team improved fun- damentally while also gaining con- fidence in themselves as a team. The team was made up of seven sophomores and three juniors. Coach Koning thought that they would make a good varsity team in a year or two, as most of them are tall with the ability to play a good game of ball.

Well, actuall senior Flavia Titus and junior Chris Witt are caught taking a break from thei chemistry lab. It takes a lot of cooperation to make school a successful learning experience. A school is nothing but empty halls, classrooms, and gyms without people. Whether your latest urgent need requested the assistance of the school nurse or a guidance talk with Mr. Boyle, someone was there to assist your needs. Secretaries took endless phone messages while cooks planned and prepared balanced meals around the basic four foods groups for all. Classmates were there to under- stand, to have fun with or just to be friends. Friends shared birthdays with decorated lockers and delicious cakes at lunch. Others studied for a history test or quizzed one another on vocabulary and spelling terms during the few minutes between classes. The gaps were filled by people building friendships to last a life time. Celebrating the wrestling sectional win are sophomore Matt Miller and senior Lloyd Weldy. What are friends for!!!

The Bellmont staff also included the cooks and custodians. Without them, things would have been much different for all of us. For one thing, there would not have been the hot lunches which the cooks fixed every day. Without the custodians the students would have had to take it upon them- selves to wash the tables, sweep the floors and clean the bathrooms. They helped make our school days at BHS easier with their help for all of us. Disguised as a New Haven choir member, Mr. Worthman does his part at the Home- coming pep session.

Running out of gas at the stoplight on second street at the busiest time of the day; being a taxi for younger siblings who were backseat drivers or locking the keys in the car while parked at the mall in Ft.

Sure, hassles were there but they were just something we had to cope with, besides, what would a day or week be without them. 124 — Freshman jft fi Kelli Lautzenheiser Tonja Leisk Jeanne Lengerich Barbara Lichtle Thomas Loshe Cynthia Macklin Jeffrey Manley Michael Mansfield Anna Mata Jacquelin Mathews James Maxwell Doris McAhren Melba McDaniels Joyce McDonald Phil McDonald Cheryl McDougall Laura McKeane James Mendez David Miller Elaine Miller Germaine Miller Linda Miller Richard Miller Teresa Miller Randy Elliot gets into the spirit of Home- coming Week by dressing down on grub day.

I have bitten all my fingernails to the limit, counted all the pieces of chewed gum under my desk, and combed my hair five times. There were some typical signs of boredom which could be spotted many times throughout the year. Common causes of boredom were a study hall with no studying to be done, finishing a test earlier than the rest of the class, or just sit- ting in class not feeling like listen- ing to the teacher. Becoming bored happened to almost everyone and finding a way to overcome it was the concern. Still, if we tried hard enough, there were lots of ways to relieve boredom. We could join a club, sport, or committee. These were all ways to pass the time and they got us involved. Maybe school wasn ' t always the most exciting place to be, but if you got involved with the people and activities, the school year went very rapidly. Wondering where all the excitement is as he gazes into space is sophomore, Kevin High, during study hall.

You started off the week with twenty- five dollars, and all too soon it seemed to disappear. Where did your money go? Well on Monday there was five dollars for a French t-shirt. Tuesday you spent eight dollars for a ticket to the RUSH concert. Do not forget the four dollars for lunch, (you had to have a drumstick after lunch every day). Then Friday night you and your friends saw a movie at the Southtown Cinema which took another $3.75, and eating out after- wards, and on and on . . . As many students discovered, money was a necessity for school life. Some solutions to the money problem for many sophomores were getting a part-time job or babysitting on weekends. When worst came to worst, it sure was a relief to have good ' ole mom or dad to butter up for a few bucks, just to get you by. A toothpaste that leaves you in pain?

Grades! Nobody wants them but everybody gets them. For the better students it means recogni- tion by teachers, other students, and your parents. To some of the less motivated students it can mean no car for the next nine weeks, no social life, or even worse, both! Everyone has experienced the disappointment of missing a grade or grade point average by a few points. But don ' t worry grades aren ' t always the most important part of class.

She competed against a statewide field of many young peo- ple in the Optimists International Oratorical Contest and took run- ner-up honors.

Mechelle estimated that she spent three hours a day on her speech and altogether 200 hours of hard work, but it paid off. She advanced to state finals with a 2nd place fin- ish and has entered several more contests since then. Mechelle plans to continue her speaking career and eventually study law. Mechelle has also been involved in the Jerry Lewis Labor Day MD Telethon and she participated again for the 5th year in a row. Speech is just one of her extra activities at Bellmont.

The juniors voted This One ' s for You as the prom theme, and the class colors chosen were burgundy and creme. Since the setting for prom was a garden scene, the juniors offered their study hall time a nd a few eve- nings to make flower decorations, paint bridges and trellises. Also, the Friday and Saturday of prom weekend were spend decorating the commons area for the event. Those juniors who readily helped with prom will say that it was worth their effort and the time wasn ' t wasted.

Or did you work late and couldn ' t find time to study? All of us face these situations sometime and one solu- tion is cramming. Skipping lunch to study in the library or hiding behind your math book finishing your history before the bell can be a hassle. Or when you try to cram in fifty equations before the chemistry final it can rack the brain. After three years of experience, many juniors have found that studying ahead of time, instead of waiting until the last minute, is bet- ter than missing your lunch or staying up until all hours of the night cramming. The junior class exhibited a lot of spirit and enthusiasm during the pep sessions.

Classmate Denny Faurote went to state in wrestling and captured a rewarding second place. Together, we worked to present a prom that the seniors could really enjoy and remember for years to come. There were many more feats accomplished by the juniors that went without recognition, such as good grades and participation in extracurricular activities, but the self-satisfaction was all thei needed. Being a junior was a big stq because it brought us to realize w were getting close to our last yea in high school, wondering wha experiences our senior year wil hold.

Daydreaming — taking the easy way out Daydreaming ... an escape from noisy classmates, homework assignments, and the daily school routines. When you should have been studying for the states and capitals test in history, you caught yourself dreaming of places you would like to travel to in the U. S. . Or when you should have been doing your assignment in Geometry, there were times when you found your- self dreaming of becoming another Einstein someday. Maybe your eyes suddenly came into focus on the boy or girl you were dreaming about going out on a date with, only to discover they have caught you in the act staring at them! Nevertherless, daydreaming was fun. You could go anywhere you wanted to go, be anyone you wanted to be, and things that you wanted to happen did in dreams. Daydreaming ... a pleasurable way to pass the hours.

Yippee!! Eight- een big ones! For some seniors, turning 18 meant freedom. No more curfews for some. 18 year olds could even move out of the house if they desired. and if they had the money. It also meant being able to eat whatever you wanted for break- fast, whether it be a coke or ice cream. But with this new freedom came the responsibility for their own actions. The responsibility and th privilege of voting was granted I the seniors. Also, the responsibilit; of getting a job and keeping them selves out of trouble.

DECATUR . . . our community, the home town where you spent your high school days, and for years to come. Spending your first allowance on that special toy you wanted or candy at your favorite store led to bigger and better purchases such as stereos, cars and gas. Whether it meant spending money for food, entertainment, clothes or records or working at a part-time job, the students of BHS made their impact on the commu- nity. Always ready to help, area mer- chants and companies offered con- veniences and service for all. Whether it meant extra money to pay for a letter jacket or prom dress, or a chance to save extra money for college, students were appreciative to the community for its support and opportunities it has to offer.

Highway was expanded last summer to four lanes for more convenient travel. The Adams County Courthouse stands quietly in the early morning hours before the opening hours for another busy day. The courthouse interior was recently rede- corated. The early morning traffic starts to move in downtown Decatur as another day begins. By 4 p.m.. Second Street is a mass of jam- med cars and trucks as people head home from another working day. In the spring of 1979, Decatur ' s new pub- lic library opened its doors to the commu- nity offering more space and opportuni- ties to the library users. Ads —209 Index AM. Charles 98. 99 Abel.

Rummaging through the papers brought back memories, like the term paper for Grammar Review and Research Writing which took half the night to add the finishing touches to or your best friend ' s algebra papers which came in handy at the last minute. The classes filled the largest part of the year, but there was still time for the fun things of life. There was always time to go out with your friends, to a basketball or football game or to just lie around the house and watch the idiot box. Some of these festivities came to an abrupt end as did school, but the part of the classes will not be missed; it was the good-bye ' s and see ' ya next year ' s which were tough. Finally, the last day of school, graduation, and that long awaited summer vacation had arrived. It was time to sit back and just take life easy. Even though filling the gaps in next years schedule had its road blocks, it was finally all taken care of and there were no more gaps. It wasn ' t hard to fill the hours of school with activities. But, the three months of summer break were even easier to keep loaded- down or filled-up with unusual things to do. Getting together with all their friends is just one way for Laurie Geels, Judy Har- vey, Audrey Becher, Gina Boyle and Deb Hill spend a Friday night. John Brune, Ted Baker, and Marty Hess demonstrate the wrong way of running a student council during a skit on Student Leadership Day. Getting his cap and gown is just one of the extra excitements for Doug Bradburn dur- ing the last full week of school for seniors. Tony Allison stepped into the boots of Howdy Doody for senior dress down day. Closing— 215 Memories stay as the year passes by Another year at BHS has come and gone. What made up the memories which will linger on forever? Was it . . . standing in the lunch line, or the daily food fights? Was it ... the last minute cramming, or studying till all hours of the night? Was it . . . getting that first tardy slip, or getting caught in the hall without a pass? Was it . . . competing in your first varsity meet, or just getting rowdy at a game? Was it . . . turning sixteen and getting your license, or finally being allowed to date? Whatever it was, it made up the memories which became a part of the past, your past.
