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

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.
