North Adams Drive Decatur, Indiana 46733 Title Page — 1 Our place is the only place to be There ' s no place like home. Home is where the heart is. The best part of leaving is coming home. If this place called home was such a terrific place to be, why did we ever leave it in the first place? Maybe it was because we knew a place where our friends were, a place that offered an endless array of opportunities just for the asking. Sure, we knew our friends, con- tenders, and neighbors down the road — The Adams Centrals, the Blufftons, the South Adamses — but their places could not begin to match up to ours. Our place offered so much more. For four years, this was to be our home away from home, and we knew this was where we belonged. After all, here we could make things happen. So come along with us. We know you ' ll want to stay. Our place is THE PLACE TO BE! .WW Varsity harriers, Ken Swales, Jim Solik, Ryan Bultemeyer, and Kent Kiefer draw enthusiasm and encouragement from Coach Bauman immediately before the onset of the Bi-County cross country meet. Shorter days, cooler temperatures, and the changing of the leaves on the trees surrounding the Bellmont pond are just a few signs that mark the onset of autumn and the beginning of another school year. Senior class members show-off their enthusiasm which won them the spirit stick during the Homecoming pep ses- sion. 2 — Opening )ne of the hardest problems faced dur- ig an average school day is finding a .lace to sit during a crowded lunch mod. lowever, Matt Miller has found the per- =ct solution as he offers his lap to a dis- raught buddy, B. J. Faurote, on costume lay. Opening — 3 Our place is always action-packed I August 26. The first day of a brand new school year. Day after day the alarm clock would ring at 7:00. Week after week classes would begin at 8:1 5 and would be dismissed at 2:45. Was it this daily routine that lured us to school for thirty-six weeks? No way! More likely than not, it was the good times and the ' going-ons that happened both before and after the dismissal bell that brought us back to our place everyday. Whether we were reminiscing about the past weekend ' s events with friends, making plans for the upcoming Friday and Saturday nights, meeting with one of the 21 organizations, or practicing with one of the 18 various sporting teams, we were showing everyone that we did not attend school only to learn and to await the 2:45 dis-l missal bell. There was more to it than that. We led action-packed lives and our place offered just that— ACTION! Yes, there was always something going on at our place! 138-pound sophomore Tony Roman grapples with A. C. ' s Matt Ford at a home match. Each year, the Bellmont-A.C. wrestling match proves to be one of Indi- ana ' s most exciting as the host gym is not only jam-packed with people, but also with action. Senior Nance Hackman is all smiles after opening her Christmas gift she received from a friend. Either Rhonda Keuneke is imitating a moose during Newspaper class or she is only trying to get the attention of a roving photographer. Job well done, Rhonda! 4 — Opening Taking orders for Christmas greetings during her lunch mod is Missy Macke, while Scott Aurand recites his letter to Santa Claus and Tony Meyer jots down his ideas for a greeting. Senior Rick Burkhalter is ready to give his classmate and lunch-buddy, Mark Well- man, his big surprise as he closes his eyes and opens wide. Opening — 5 With time, it seems just like home Getting back into the swing of things was a challenge encoun- tered by almost every student with the reopening of classes in August. As high school students, we realized that our long, lazy, carefree days of summer were rapidly coming to an end, and we would once again be faced with responsibilities. Fed up with four long years of daily assignments, senior math major, Mark Wellman, prepares to take his true feel- ings out on his Calculus instructor, Mr. Arnold, who only seems to scoff at the threat. Up in the tree! Is it . . .? No, it ' s not Tarzan but senior Mark Rausch sure could get into the swing of things if he o nly had a rope. With these responsibilities came sacrifices. We cut our night lives shorter, not because the sun rose earlier in the morning, but because we did. In the evenings, we were forced to do homework rather than take in a late summer softball game. Loaded down with enough homework to last us a lifetime, we began to wonder whether we would ever adapt to our new schedules as students. However, it wasn ' t long until things began to click and once again we were find- ing out where we belonged and what was expected of us. We had begun another academic and social year, and we were making ourselves right at home. 6 — Opening Judy Banning and Susie Loshe were game for the camera on costume day. l l gJP- At first glance it would seem Bellmont is Kent Kiefer, Eldon Fink, Eric Bulmahn, going to the monkeys, but it is only soph- Barry Barger, Jim Solik, Scott Hebble, omore Doris McAhren and her stuffed and Gary Helmrich get up for the friend sharing a quiet conversation on Braves while Sam Schnurr and Greg costume day.

Each of these played a small but very important part in our lives as students. We could always be found doing something exciting or out-of-the-ordinary to make our student lives more enjoyable and memorable. After all, whoever said that weekdays and weekends had to be day-in and day-out routines? Not us! It ' s true we took one day at a time, but we never passed up a chance to share a laugh or a good time with a friend. You say you have nothing to do on a typical Friday night? Well, head on over to our place. You ' re sure to find something going on. Our place is A GREAT PLACE TO BE! Junior Linda Keuneke always finds time to flash a friendly smile.

Homecoming week, of course! This year, some of the crazy dress days included costume day and grub day. These special days broke the monotony and added a little spice to the regular school routine. On Wednesday, the rivalry arose once again between the jun- ior and senior girls as the Powder Puff game got underway. The gru- eling practices held before school and in the evenings paid off for the senior girls who proudly left the football field with a victorious 6-0 score. Games are intended to create fun and that was the case Thurs- day evening as Tony Meyer was the winner of the sack race. Tony was also one-half of the winning team with Scott Aurand in the three-legged race. Nick Miller proved how rapidly his mouth could consume a pie as he cap- tured first place in the pie-eating contest, and Marty Hess jammed 38 marshmallows in his mouth to win that sticky event. The tricycle race ended with the team of Scott Aurand and Mark Rauch crossindi the finish line in unison with Marl Grote and Ronnie Braun creating a tie in that contest. On Friday morning the pep sesl sion was a large success when tha teachers did their part in Homel coming by performing a crazy skitl Friday evening the annual paradJ was unfortunately cancelled! because of the rainy weather! Nevertheless, the float contest was still held and the sophomores] captured the rewarding first place] prize. All in all, Homecoming week of! 1 980 was a big success. 1 — Homecoming Week Dordination is the name of the game as niors Teresa Wolpert and Cindy Dan- s enjoy themselves in the three-legged ce. Homecoming Week — 1 1 Our life was work . Work! Work! Work! That ' s all I ever do! Work didn ' t actually play a part in the lives of BHS students, or did it? The work schedule may not have been all that rough all of the time, but it usually accounted for some part of our daily lives. Having a part-time job may have meant some odd hours or unrea- sonable pay, but for many stu- dents it was a necessity to work to keep the gas gauge above E or to be able to go to the football and basketball games on the week- ends. Even if we didn ' t have a job, there were always plenty of other time-consuming tasks that had to be done. At school, tackling our Algebra problems gave us a work- out, and when we got home we had to find time to do our chemis- try equations. Fixing supper with Mom or helping Dad split firewood were other little jobs that had to be done. Work was probably never antici- pated very much and it may not have excited us a whole lot, but our job experiences prepared us for the future when jobs will prob- ably play an even larger part in our lives. The long hours of work finally pay off for members of the band and drill team as they perform at Fields and Flourishes. Teachers are here to lend us a helping hand in our work, as Mrs. DesJean gives aid to Ken Petruska in Geometry class. 12— Our Life of Work What was the purpose behind a lot of our work? Money, of course, that all impor- tant buck. Working to make some bucks is senior Scott Aurand as he cues up a record at the WADM radio station. Our Life of Work— 13 %m S:wiS • Senior Mark Wellman gets all wrapped up in the tun as his classmates Kris Frey, Rick Ross, and others put the art of TP- ing into action. Christmas break gave seniors Nancy Hackman, Joann Selking, Rhonda Keu- neke, Lori Mazelin, Audrey Becher, Deb Thieme, and Teresa Woebbeking a chance to enjoy the winter wonderland. Half-time entertainment is provided by the male cheerleaders at Powder Puff as they enjoy constructing a human pyra- mid. 14— Our Lite of Play Our life was play . Looking back on our childhood years, we remember that a lot of our time was spent playing. We remember the little boy or girl who played cowboys and indians, built castles in the sand, and made mud pies. Forty years from now, when we reminisce on our high school years, we will realize that a lot of our time was still made up of play. Cruisin ' around town, going to see a movie, going to a sporting event, and TP-ing a friend ' s house were all classified as play. These activities made our social lives in high school more interesting and enjoyable. We were able to find time off from our school, sport, and work schedules to go out for a pizza with friends or to stop by the party that everyone was supposed to beat. So whatever happened to the lit- tle boys and girls who played in the sand and made mud pies? As we grow older we learned that even though the word play took on new meanings, it will always be a part of our lives. Capturing the spirit of fun is junior Leann Geels as she prepares to throw confetti at a football game. Win or lose, Powder Puff is a lot of fun as juniors Kim Cowans, Sharon Gerber, Tammy Busick, Doris Bosch, Laura Gun- sett, and Susie Loshe show their enthusi- asm. Our Life of Play— 1s Birch Bayh (Scott Hebble) gives his views on the issues of the campaign as he pres- ents his speech. Separate booths for voting made the election more realistic and secretive as junior Nick Miller decides who to vote for. Learning how to use the voting cards was necessary as seniors Steve Aspy and Ted Hutker instruct Lisa Rumschlag, Suzanne Hakes, John Morgan, Cassie Fuller, and Steve Winans. 16 — Mock Election It was almost like the real thing Literally running for the office of senator is senior Missy Irwin as she portrays Dan Quayle in the election. Under 18 years of age but still able to vote? That was the case as the students and faculty of Bell- mont High School got involved in politics when the senior classes held a mock election on Friday, October 10, 1980. Fourteen of Mr. Koning ' s stu- dents portrayed the candidates for the offices of president, vice presi- dent, senators, governor, and 4th and 10th District Congressmen. Also, they were responsible for writing a speech in the name of their candidate which was to be presented in front of the entire stu- dent body and citizens of Adams County. The Decatur Daily Democrat got involved by informing the public of what the mock election was all about. Television cameramen were also contacted and were on the scene for the mock election. On the day of the mock election, Mr. Philip Sharp, running for 4th District Congressman, was the only actual candidate who was present although many represent- atives were present for the other candidates. In the mock election, Independ- ent party candidate John Ander- son (Eric Bulmahn) won the presi- dency with all the other Demo- cratic party candidates winning. This was very much in contrast to the actual election where Republi- can Ronald Reagan became the 40th president of the U. S., and the majority of the winners were Republican candidates. The mock election turned out to be a learning experience which prepared Bellmont students for future years by teaching them how important it is to vote, and also, that learning about the candidates before they vote is of great impor- tance. th Congressional District candidate, hilip Sharp, shares his time and ideas ith Bellmont students in the audito- um. Mr. Sharp won the actual election n November 4, 1980. As other senior candidates look on, Mike Werling speaks on the behalf of Vice-Presidential candidate, Walter Mondale.

Umbrellas and blankets are a must for court members Sheila Davis, Joann Selk- ing, Susan McAhren, and Tony Meyer who try to ' keep dry at the Homecoming game. Presenting the flowers and crown at the Silver Arrow Coronation are Jody Cochran and Brad Weber. The rain on Homecoming night may have cancelled the parade and dampened the game a little, but spirits were still high as the royal court stood on the stadium track at half-time of the East Noble-Bellmont football game. The student body had made their selection that morning and the decision was brought to a cli- max as Susan McAhren was crowned the 1980 Homecoming Queen and Tony Meyer was announced as the Homecoming King. After a 21-17 victory for Bell- mont, the performing band WKKJ supplied the music for the annual dance. February arrived and along with it the annual Silver Arrow Corona- tion sponsored by the cheerlead- ers. Due to the cancellation of school most of the week because of fog, student voting took place before the game on Silver Arrow night. Senior candidates vying for the crown were Audrey Becher, Teresa Kern, and Teresa Woeb- beking. After the crowd became silent, Teresa Woebbeking was announced as the 1981 Silver Arrow Queen. For the Silver Arrow dance, It ' s a Rainbow World, music was provided by the band End Game . Homecoming Silver Arrow — 1 9 The setting for the play J.B. is a circus Mr. Kaough, director of both plays, gives ground with all the necessities: a tent, the Linda Serna a few pointers on how to center ring, and in this case, two masks feel the part of Mrs. Betticelli. which represent G od and the devil. As Mr. Zuss (Scott Aurand) oversees, Zephar (Randy Elliott), Bildad (Brian Chronister), and Eliphaz (Scott Marbach) beat up J.B. . . . As J.B. (Brad Hinsky) and his wife, Sara (Cathy Cable), hold a flower which sym- bolizes life, they realize that they cannot lose faith in God and that they must go on. 20— Plays Drama Club brings stage to life The setting was a circus round, but the theme was far Dm being fun and games. It was ne to relive the Old Testament as r. Kaough ' s cast of 22 per- irmed a revised life of Job in the ay J.B. on December 5,6, and 7. Brad Hinsky and Cathy Cable ortrayed the lead roles of J.B. id his wife. It was a test of faith, courage, id strength as J.B. and his wife ere put through one disaster after another — the loss of their children, their business, their home. But in the end, as in the Book of Job itself, God gave them the ultimate gift — the ability to hope and to love. Singing and dancing dominated the stage for the play West Side Story on the weekend of March 13,14,and15. A cast of 29 brought the sum- mer of 1959 to life as they por- trayed two rivaling gangs, the Jets and the Sharks, both trying to be rulers of the west side of Manhat- tan. The hatred of the two gangs was contrasted with the love of an ex-Jet leader and the sister of the Shark leader. The final scene showed the injustices that can be done by society because of racial preju- dices, when both leaders were killed and the ex-Jet leader died in the arms of his lover. Clarice (Lori Conrad) and Action (Mike Ha milton) enjoy themselves at the gym dance before the big rumble. Lovers Tony (Gerry Rumschlag) and Maria (Mary Hann) share a romantic moment as they sing Tonight . Pausing during the song America Rosalia (Teresa Wolpert) tries to find ways to defend her homeland, Puerto Rico. i Plays— 21 Senior class labels 1981 the best We are the seniors of BHS, and we are happy to be here- EEre! It seemed as if it had taken forever, but in the end our senior year had arrived before we knew it. What did being a senior mean? It meant being eligible to have release time. It meant you knew your way around Bellmont better than anyone else did. It meant the varsity teams were made up mainly of your classmates. It also meant it was your turn to walk down the aisle on that special Sunday in May to receive your dip- loma. But most of all, being a senior provided that feeling of status we had waited three years for, and it meant we were soon to be out of high school and on our own or off to college. We all knew our senior year was one to be cherished, and we were happy to be the senior class of 1981. Senior Kaylehn Bohnke demonstrates the proper way to stick out a tongue as she realizes she gets to sit through a few more hours ot school. Exhibiting his idea ot how a senior shoul look and act is Jim Solik at half-time of basketball game. 22— Seniors Lunchtime is the perfect time to talk, relax or read BRAVE TALK as is done by sen- iors Mike Werling, Tony Meyer, and Jim Solik. Being a senior means to have many responsibilities as Rhonda Keuneke and Kris Frey sell Homecoming dance tickets during their lunch, while they still find time to have fun. Senior Fred Buescher performs a vitamin deficiency experiment in front of his classmates during his Independent Biol- ogy class.

The Unknown Trombone (Wayne Erxle- ben) responds to interviewer Mike Heck- man ' s questions by answering with famil- iar tunes on his instrument. Choreography goes along with the sing- ing as the Brave Generation performs Long Train Running. 24 — Pop ' s Concert Energize featured in 1981 Pops Jon Huppert works on one of the techni- cal aspects involved in putting on Pops by staging the lights. The lights grew dim. The audi- ence fell silent. As the curtains opened, energy began to radiate from the stage. It was 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 11, as the 1981 Pops Concert Energize got underway. Song playing, dancing, singing, and crazy skits made up the majority of the evening. With the Band of Braves, the Cadet Choir, Brave Generation, Concert Choir, and other involved students, the performances showed the work and the time that had gone into making Pops what it was. Tributes go to emcees Scott Aurand and Phil Smith, and to Mr. Pennington, Mrs. Doonan, and Miss Reynolds for direction and choreography of the 1981 Pops Concert. Monte Python ' s skit, The Argument, is exhibited by juniors Brad Hinsky and Mike Heckman during the Pops Concert. Mr. Pennington directs the Band of Braves in one of their numbers for the 1981 Pops Concert. Pops Concert — 25 Spring means lazy days, crazy ways The snow disappeared. The days grew longer. The skies were bluer and the grass was greener. One by one, innocent students were struck by an inevitable ill- ness. What was it? SPRING FEVER! Yes, when springtime rolled around there seemed to be a noticeable change in the mood and atmosphere around school. How can we forget the day seven pigeons were set loose inside school? Then there were the frequent fire alarms set off by some culprits so that we could get a breath of fresh air during classtime. Also, when the annual tornado drill was practiced, we knew that spring was officially here. One of the added extras that usually goes along with spring is a spring break. Unfortunately, this year it was decided not to have one. Of couse, we all began to antici- pate the end of the school year, and this may have meant that we slackened off on our schoolwork just a little. It also became pretty tempting to skip school when it was 75 degrees outside and we were inside with temperatures of 50 degrees or seemingly lower. However, it was soon discov- ered that spring fever was not an incurable illness after all; some- how its symptoms suddenly disap- peared when summer vacation arrived! Geometry class can bring out the goofy side of a person as Brad Hinsky demon- strates some typical class behavior dur- ing spring. Spring fever hits senior students as they enjoy the sights at the Capitol building in Washington D.C. 26 — Spring Fever Tior Lori Mazelin shows delight in the Denny Faurote and Nick Miller do some rm weather as she blows a bubble in spring cleaning as they purposely box up nt of the White House.

Spring Fever — 27 Hall life: laughter and lockers Hall — a way to go through a building; passageway. That ' s how Webster detines it, but ask any Bellmont student what goes on in their halls, and you ' ll get a differ- ent picture. Our long corridors provided us with a place to meet where we could catch up on all the latest news. We were always sure to see groups of friends talking with each other before school and between classes. And picture the guys who always escorted their girlfriends through the halls to every class. You knew them. They were the ones always running through the halls to get to their own classes! As for our lockers, they were more than just a place where we kept our books. Lockers were the place to stop and talk to our friends. Of course, lockers were made to be stacked, and if our books came tumbling out when we opened them, we knew that our friends had been up to mis- chief. Then, when it came time to wr cram our winter coat, our o books, and the books of six othl people in the bottom compartmel of our locker, it became a pretl tight squeeze. If we were in the halls or by oJ locker duri ng class time, we wen always supposed to have that littl green slip of paper that made oa presence in the halls okay, anc if not, well . . . life in the halls couj easily turn into life in the prinq pal ' s office!

Well — it ' s not far down to par- adise. At least it wasn ' t for those juniors and seniors who attended this year ' s prom Come Sail Away . . . on Saturday, May 2. Upon entering the commons area for the dance, guests climbed on board a sail boat and spent the remainder of the evening in the midst of a lighthouse, a dock, and islands with palm trees. Couples were also presented with two memory books and a small brandy snifter with the theme and a palm tree engraved on it as they entered the dance. Lasting from 9:00-12:00, the prom dance featured the band BREAKAWAY. After-prom activities included a midnight matinee, FOUL PLAY, from 1 :00-3:00 in the auditorium, and a breakfast was served in the commons from 3:00-4:00. Sailing ... it took the guests away to where they always heard paradise could be. Just a dream and the wind to carry them, and soon they were free to live out their fantasy at the 1981 Junior- Senior Prom.

Congratulations are in order for Scott Aurand, Ted Hutker, Brian Chronister, and Eric Bumahn as they realize that they finally made it. Diplomas, tears, laughter, fami- lies, friends, and 237 graduates made the Bellmont gynmasium a special place to be on Sunday, May 24. After marching in to the sounds of Pomp and Circumstance, we listened to the invocation, the ser- mon, and the welcome. Following this, Salutatorian Judy Harvey and Valedictorian Kathy Miller shared their thoughts and feelings with the graduates and guests about our past school days and the future. As we received our diplomas and moved our tassles from the left to the right of our caps, we realized that it was over — the mes- sage had hit home. Our high school days had come to an end and many of us felt a sense of loss. But somewhere beneath that sinking feeling of the end hid an optimistic feeling of the new — a future filled with happiness and success. Salutatorian Judy Harvey gives a heart- warming speech for the crowd as she brings to mind the past and the future for the 1981 graduates. uation — 33 1 fl ■ ; Junior Rita Koenemann researches her selected history topic at the Decatur Pub- lic Library. 34 — Academics Division m ACADEMICS This is the place to be Way back when we were just learning our ABC ' s, we each had a special dream. At one time or another, somewhere between our cookies and milk breaks, we all wanted to grow up to be either firemen, teachers, doctors, or nurses. We figured then that our goals were just within reach. We thought that owning a stetho- scope would guarantee our Ph.D. in medicine. Well, times have changed. Now we know that it takes a lot of hard work and determination to make our dreams come true ... it takes an education to survive in these changing times. Are you wondering where you can go to find this thing called an education? Well, stop right here because you ' ve come to the right place! OUR PLACE IS THE PLACE TO FIND IT!

Academics Division 3S Interests aid in selecting classes To Bellmont students, academ- ics was the way ot preparing for the future. Each year, several months before the new school year began, students were busy planning class schedules. Many students signed up for classes that their friends took. The ones who took what they wanted found school much more enjoya- ble as they prepared themselves for the future. Home Ec offered a variety of areas to explore from designing To fit the perfect picture, Leo Geels matches up the corners on his picture frame in Woods II. Freshman Sandra Knittle strives for the perfect error-free paper in Typing I. and decorating a home to bathing a baby or baking bread. Industrial Arts gave an insight on woodwork- ing and how to fix and maintain a car. Foreign language classes exposed students to many cul- tures and traditions. There were many classes that students could take to help build their futures. If students were not sure what they wanted to do when they graduated, Bellmont offered many general classes. Money Management could teach one how to budget money. Typinj could be used to type term paper: in other classes and in college. Educational programs such as DECA and ICT offered students ar education and on-the-job training at one time. These classes offeree the experience needed to obtain i job upon graduation. No matter what classes student! decided upon, it was best to take the classes corresponding with one ' s interests. 36 — Academics Freshman Scott Lautzenheiser adjusts the lathe to the right setting in Metals I.

Working in the kitchen, Terry Giesslei washes pans at her school job station During the lunch mods, the P.V.E. stu- dents work at different job stations throughout the school. 38 — Learning Without Books Close the books — open the options Open your books to page 56. Sound familiar? Day after day, class after class, every book and every page 56 looked the same as the next. The words ran together, and they began to look like noth- ing more than tiny black dots on a large white page. Besides studying with books, there were many ways to learn. Some classes took educational field trips to places like Ball State, the Ft. Wayne Newspapers, or to the Ft. Wayne Performing Arts Center. The Home Ec and science classes worked in labs by baking chocolate chip cookies or making crystalline structures. Taking a math class definitely meant working problems on the board or using graphs and num- ber lines. Giving speeches became a common practice in Communication Arts or Public Speaking, and thus, the task of addressing a group became much easier.

Working toward future occupations Doctor, lawyer, mechanic, fash- n designer, teacher, and nurse, lese were a few of the career )tions open to graduating sen- rs. Choosing the right field oved to be a difficult decision, venty years from now we could ) doing something totally differ- it than what we had originally anned. With jobs getting harder and harder to find, selecting the right career became ever increasingly important. A college education became more important. Guid- ance counselors helped arrange our classes to the career choice we made. They also helped us choose the right classes to pre- pare us for college. The job area with the brightest outlook this year was computer technology. Another area with an abudance of opportunities was medical occupations. As we got closer to the end of high school, plans became more definite on which career we would choose. Whatever occupation was chosen, it took a lot of class plan- ning and preparation for further training. Junior Susan Daugherty works after school in the children ' s section of the public library.

Academics — 41 Independence: Doing it on your own Bellmont ' s Independent Study program offered an alternative teaching and learning method from that of the normal classroom. The program required the matu- rity to be self-directed. Since stu- dents were often without a teacher, they had to be responsi- ble and dependable learners. The program offered a totally new method of learning for stu- dents requiring them to be respon- sible for their own educational progress. One of the requirements was to gain the approval of both the department head and the teacher. Independent Study was offered in business, industrial arts, social studies, P.E., science, and foreign language. Those who had busi- ness independently typed things for other teachers. Independent business study was offered to those who had previously covered every area of business and who wished to further their education. Industrial arts students worked on projects that gained the teach- er ' s approval. Social studies stu- dents were also granted the opportunity to take Independent Study. The history students worked on a report every nine Senior Brian Chronister cleans a lens in Independent Astronomy.

The astronom : students tinkered with lasers an toyed with special effects for th planetarium. The program offered an entin new method of learning for thoa students involved; but most impor tant, it offered students a strivet for independence and thi chance to do things on their own.

To students, this was the number of credits we received from required classes. The rest of our credits came from the 140 dif- ferent elective classes offered. All of these classes together made up the necessary 34 credits we needed to graduate. This year there was the possibil- ity of increasing the 34 credits needed to graduate to 38 credits. Some felt that this change would be too drastic, while others felt that it might be a good solution to get students to work harder. At the end of the year, however, the administration decided to leave it at 34 credits. Required classes varied from Biology I or General Science to Basic Grammar or Reading and Writing Workshop. Freshmen gave speeches in Communication Arts and learned CPR in health. Soph- omores learned to dissect frogs and assemble a leaf collection. In history, we acquired knowl- edge of our country ' s past. As seniors, everyone found out more about human behavior in Psychol- ogy and discovered how our gov- ernment functions in government class. Required classes made up a small portion of the classes that were offered to us to complete our education.

Academics— 45 Exploring the depths of the library Where could we go to find information without dialing a toll- free number? Where could we find the latest magazines or books? We did not have to ask these ques- tions as we had our own library and resource center. In our classes, we had to write reports and papers. To help us find information we had over 15,000 books from which to choose. The history students used the many history books to find information for their book reports. The many different topics of books also helped the Grammar Review and Research writing students when it came time for their semes- ter research paper. The reference room proved to be useful to the students in sci- ence. The many science maga- zines were used for their weekly reports and critiques. The 140 dif- ferent magazines were also helpful when we wanted to do research on a certain subject on which we wanted to find up-to-date informa- tion. There was also a vertical file in the reference room. The vertical file could be used to find a topic for our reports if we could not find one. The 300 different files gave us a wide variety. Along with the vertical file there were other refer- ence room materials we could put to use in times when researching. The library and reference room proved to be helpful in completing high school reports and research papers. Study hall offered a chance to get away from the routine of the classroom and a chance to relax and read favorite maga- zines or books.

This was the view of many seniors as it came nearer to the close of their senior year. There were, however, many ways to get that much needed extra money as many seniors applied for a schol- arship or a grant. Seniors had to write a letter of application to apply for the local scholarships or grants. The win- ners were then announced at the awards ceremony and at the com- mencement exercises. There were 34 students chosen to receive State Scholarships. The Fred Isch Journalism Award and the Gilbert Award were Honorary awards. To the students who received the scholarships the money was greatly appreciated. These awards helped many students to further their education in college. 1 981 Scholarship and Award Winners Jack Dailey Award Dee Fryback Loan Lions Club Grants Adams Co. Medical Soc.

Together they discovered new and exciting fields of study. This was what organizations at our place was all about. Many students became mem- bers of clubs hoping to become involved, and in doing so, became another link to the chain that bonded our special group together. As time lingered on, the bonds tightened as a trust and understanding developed between everyone involved. Maybe this is why organizations have done so well at our place. The Bellmont people knew what the organizations had to offer them. So if you ' re searching for a place where you can become involved, look into our place. IT ' S A GREAT PLACE TO START!

Organizations Division — 51 Council sponsors dances, candy sales The year started with members busy organizing Homecoming Week activities. Student Council members chaired committees for the dance, coronation, powder puff game and the Homecoming games. In December, members donated Christmas tree ornaments to dec- orate the school Christmas tree and collected money for the annual Goodfellow ' s Drive. Besides the Homecoming Dance, the council also spon- sored a spring dance D.J. ' d by Bruce Slusher of WADM radio and square and round dance in April. At many of the monthly meet- ings, various fundraising projects were discussed. They decided on selling Bellmont Brave bumper stickers, candy bars, and worked in the concession stands at the home games. Another monthly activity for the council included making nomina- tions for the Teen-of-the-Month competition, spon sored by the local Elk ' s lodge.

Student Council — 53 Band discovers practice makes perfect Practicing. This was how the Band of Braves spent most of their devoted time. Throughout the sporting sea- sons, the band kept the spectators entertained by performing at half- times of both the football and bas- ketball games. Their talents were also very valuable when school spirit needed to be aroused during games or at a pep assembly. Competing in the Bluffton Street Fair, the marching band was awarded first place. They also per- formed at the East Noble competi- tion where they received a sixth place rating. In the winter, the Jazz Band, the Band of Braves, and the drill team competed at NISBOVA. The Band of Braves closed the year by performing at the annual Pops Concert in May. The Bellmont Band of Braves: K. Andrews, L Balliet, J. Banning, F. Bargy, J. Becker, L Bieberich, K. Brunner, N.

Band — 55 Dedicated students make Bellmont the best This year the Pep Club con- sisted of well over 200 strong voices. These dedicated people cheered and shouted the sports teams on to victory at the home and away games. Sponsors Mrs. DesJean and Mrs. Johnson helped the cheer- leaders and the pep block organ- ize their cheers and made sure the members received their shirts. The B-Club held their annual fall, winter and spring desserts honoring those athletes in fresh- man, reserve and varsity sports. The only requirement needed to be a member of the B-Club was to have earned at least one varsity letter. The club elected its officers at the first organizational meeting at the start of the year, and these people were in charge of organiz- ing the desserts, writing promo- tional announcements and con- tacting both the school paper and Decatur Democrat. At the spring dessert in May, five seniors were honored for hav- ing earned eight varsity letters. Seniors Barry Barger, Amy Stimp- son, Ron Pilkington, Jeff Hake, and Sharon Voglewede were awarded blankets for their accom- plishments.

German Latin — 65 Spanish and French plan trips abroad Spanish and French students involved in their respective lan- guage clubs knew there was more to a foreign language than learn- ing vocabulary words. The Spanish Club went to Kay- sans in Fort Wayne for their annual Mexican Dinner on March 11. During football season, they sold hot chocolate and donuts to raise money to make their trip to Spain successful. They also sold candles as a fund-raising project. Mrs. Schiederer ' s Spanish I class made pinatas during Christ- mas, hanging them from the ceil- ing as students were blindfolded to break them open. The French Club celebrated Christmas with a party at Mrs. Johnson ' s home. Pyramids were built and French food was eaten. They also made crepes during class. To raise money for their trip to France last summer, they sold car- nations for Valentines Day and participated in the downtown Pumpkin Race, winning $25. They dined at the Epicurean Restaurant in Fort Wayne on March 21, and afterwards, attended the Pit Threatre where they enjoyed the French play, Tartuffe. SPORTSMANSHIP MM 66 — French Spanish Cor.

Spanish French — 67 Choirs present four major performances Singing, dancing, and many long hours of rehearsal went into each day as the Brave Generation, Concert Choir, and Freshman Choir tried to finalize routines for their many performances. In the fall, the first show was entitled An Autumn Potpourri, and the annual Christmas per- formance was held during the month of December. In March, the Concert Choir combined their singing talents with Carroll High School ' s choir and held a performance in the Bellmont auditorium. The Brave Generation and the Ministral Magic, swing choirs from both schools, performed separately. The Brave Generation also kept very busy this year by holding vari- ous public appearances and shows in the school auditorium. The year concluded with the annual Pops Concert, Energize, in April and the Brave Genera- tion ' s show Sparkle ' 81 in May. The Brave Generation sing and dance for one of their many performances. The members of the Concert Choir per- form their singing and choreography at the spring concert. 68— Choir The combined concert was held in March this year with Carroll High School as guest.

The seven seniors and seven juniors who worked as a unit to put together the 1981 LEGEND spelled it by meeting deadlines. It wasn ' t an easy road to that final June 3 deadline as there were hundreds of steps to be taken in between. As the year began, the staff chose the theme and the cover design, and as the year prog- ressed, each member worked on his assigned layouts by writing Ann Bentz types senior activity sheets in triplicate form for her assigned spreads in the yearbook. 1981 LEGEND Staff Editor-in-chief Judy Havey Business Manager Deb Thieme Managing Editor Debbi Hill Student Life Editor Nancy Hackman Sports Editor Denny Faurote Nick Miller Academics Editor Linette Becker Organization Editor CarlaSuer Deb Reinking Album Editor Ann Bentz Judy Banning Cathy Loshe Photographers Scott Aurand Kathy Kintz Terri Kohne Jon Yoquelet Ads Editor Terri Kohne Ads, Index Editor Debbi Hill and rewriting copies, choosing pictures, and turning okayed rough layouts into triplicates. The five photographers were kept busy with their loaded cam- eras by snapping ad shots, team pictures, and candids. At deadline times, work was hectic and many spring nights were spent in Room D118 straining to perfect every last page. The seventeen staffers of BRAVE TALK were kept on ther toes by writing stories, pasting up papers, and sending them to the Decatur Democrat to be printed. They sold newspapers at lunch, and greetings during the Christ- mas and Valentine season. Exchanging newspapers with other schools gave the staff new story ideas. By keeping bi-weekly deadlines, the BRAVE TALK staff kept the student body informed with the many activities happening in and around Bellmont. 1981 LEGEND Staff— Front Row: N. Hackman, D. Thieme.

The club sponsored a skating party in November and sold Kathryn Beich candies for fund raising. Several members participated in the OEA District Leadership Con- ference at Marion High School. In March, OEA held their State Lead- ership Conference at the Hyatt Regency in Indianapolis. For those who had wondered what it would be like to go to school half a day and to work in an office the rest of the day, COE was the group to join. COE students had specific office jobs in the community to give them a better understanding of what it was like to work in an office. ICT, Industrial Co-Operative Training, also offered students the opportunity to go to school half a day and to learn industrial skills, on-the-job, the other half of the day. This year the group consisted of 18 boys. On February 6, they sponsored the Dan Fulton Fish Fry and raised over $700. They also took field trips to many industrial plants in the Decatur area in order to have a better idea of what industrial field they might be interested in. This year the annual ICT ban- quet was held May 8 at the Three Kings Restaurant in Hoagland. OEA Members — Front Row: P. Green, P. Miller, H. Bemus, L. Butcher, S. Price, K. Shoat, C. Koenemann.

Then try out for our team — you are sure to be a winner. There was no doubt about it. After all, it was our athletics pro- gram and the athletes themselves that made our place so special. Our athletics gave Bellmont the recognition it deserved. With the help of Bob Worthman, our athlet- ics director, we put Bellmont on the map. We brought forth sec- tional, regional, and state champs. Win or lose we gave it our all. Earning a letter jacket proved to our parents that we as individuals had the determination, ability, and attitude that it took to be an athlete and a winner at our place. Winning wasn ' t everything, but dedication was. Remember ... it was our athletes that made our place THE PLACE AT THE TOP.  n 1 @K ometimes pain and agony must accom- any the sport of football as Greg Kable being treated for a broken foot by local octor, John Doan.

With the IHSAA distance changed from 2Vi miles to 5,000 meters (3.1 miles), the Braves proved it to be a definite advan- tage by posting a 97-27 over-all season record and a 16-6 dual-tri- ple meet record. Sophomore Ken Swales led the Braves with senior Barry Barger running a very close second. Swa- les established the school record of 16 minutes 29 seconds early in the season with Barger matching it during the NEIAC meet. The lengthening of the course discouraged some girls from returning but not junior Linda Keu- neke who set the new girls ' record of 21:49. Hard work and hundreds of miles of training was this year ' s key to success for a season that will be hard to beat. But with 5 returning lettermen, the 1981 sea- son could see even greater improvements. Senior Jim Solik lengthens his lead as he passes the Administration Building. - --,- ?

Crosscountry — 77 Squaws splash up a season of 10-0 For the first time in five years since the girl ' s swimming team came into existence, the girls posted a perfect 10-0 season. Not only did the girls have a perfect season, but were also ranked third in the state throughout the year. Although the girls placed fourth at sectional, they had a very fine showing, as they placed behind the top two teams in the state: Muncie North and Muncie Central. Many new school records were set this year. Senior Amy Stimpson broke both the 200 and 500 frees- tyles. Amy DesJean set new records in the 50 and 100 yard freestyle events and Wendy Schaefer broke the 100 yard breast stroke record. These were not the only records set as both the medley and freestyle relay teams set new records.

They lost their first four games but never gave up. The football team showed what deter- mination could do for a group of inexperienced players as they won their last four out of six games. As everyone knows records never tell the whole story about a season as the Braves placed three players on the All-Conference team. Mark Wellman led the way for the Braves. He was the only one to gain first team honors for his fine performance on defense. Halfback Rick Burkhalter and line- backer Sam Schnurr were also named to the second team for their achievements. 1980 Varsity Football BHS 12 DeKalb 20 BHS 10 Homestead 13 BHS 6 South Adams 13 BHS 7 Jay County 19 BHS 41 Bluffton BHS 21 Garrett 12 BHS 6 New Haven 33 BHS 27 Columbia City BHS 21 East Noble 17 BHS 14 Angola 44 • iMN Ji£i£ «i£ L ! .femjk k ! -.

' s, the freshman team suffered only one setback, chalking up a 5-1-1 season record. Freshman fullback Terry McCardwell proved he could not be stopped by piling up 507 yards and six touchdowns followed by halfback Rod Gephart ' s 328 yards.

With high hopes of winning the regional, the girls ' volleyball team posted a 28-5 season. However, the girls ' dream of being regional champs never- came true as they were beaten in the first round by Bishop Dwenger in three very close games. This year ' s team was led by sen- iors Ann Bentz, Donna Linthicum, and Sharon Voglewede. Sharon was named to the All-Conference and All-Area first teams for her fine performance.

Hake, noted by Coach Young as the best swimmer Bellmont has ever had, became the first Bellmonter to ever make three trips to the state swim meet. Besides his accomplishment at the state meet, Jeff holds numerous school records that he has set over his four years as a varsity swimmer. Accompanying Hake to BSU were juniors Phil Smith and Jeff Sallot. Both made impressive sec- ond-appearances at state as Phil placed sixteenth in the diving and Jeff captured eighteenth in the breaststroke. As a whole, the swimmers met difficulty at the sectional meet due to the small number participating on the team. When confronted as to the reasons behind their first sectional loss in five years, Coach Young commented, You can ' t win a sectional title with thirteen kids on a team, or be as competi- tive against the ever growing and toughening competition. However, next year ' s team should prove to be as competitive as those in the past. What else can Bellmont expect other than toughness when they mix two returning statestreeters with thir- teen returning lettermen and a lit- tle added determination. Junior Jeff Sallot touches the wall and turns back as he heads for another first place finish. 88 — Boys Swimming Senior captain Jeff Hake gasps for a breath of air as he glides over the water, on his way to a first place finish in the 1 00 yard butterfly.

Boy ' s Swimming — 89 Cate works to rebuild young team This year proved to be a very successful season for the Squaws as they had only one regular starter returning to the 1980-1981 girls ' varsity basketball team. As Coach John Cate began filling the four vacant starting positions from last year ' s reserve and varsity teams, the girls proceeded to record a 12-4 season record. The Squaws had two seniors on the starting five and the remainder of the squad was composed of underclassmen, who did a very impressive job. The Squaws were lead by senior captains Donna Linthicum and Sharon Voglewede. Sharon was chosen as a member of the Aca- demic All-State Girls Basketball Team, of which there are only six- teen girls chosen from the entire state. The reserves also had a very successful season with a 10-3 record. The upcoming seasons look promising for the girls as they have a lot of young talent return- ing for future squads.

Earning honorable mention to the All-Conference team were senior Ed Rickord and junior Dan Boyle. They helped the Braves beat South Adams in the first round of the Conference tourna- ment before losing to NEIAC champion DeKalb. The team started out inexperi- enced but improved throughout the season. They finished the sea- son by losing to a good Harding team by three points, after leading part of the game, and then by los- ing in Sectional play to eventual champion Norwell.

The varsity squad began their hard work last summer as they attended the NCA clinic at Ball State University. They were awarded with two superior ribbons for their excellency in competi- tions. The sponsors for the cheerlead- ers were Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. DesJean whose spunk and spirit inspired the girls throughout the year. The girls tried to add an importance to each sport as they made posters to hang in the halls and occasionally gave the athletes treats. The night before the sec- tional basketball game the girls decorated the players ' bedrooms with posters, crepe paper, and balloons, as they did for the five wrestlers going to semi-state.

B.J. also became the first Indi- ana high school wrestler ever to win a state title at Market Square Arena, as this was the first year the tournament was held there. The Braves ended the season with a 9-3-1 record. The most suprising loss of the season was handed to the Braves by county rival, Adams Central, as the Braves did not have their regular varsity line up. However, the Braves bounced back in the Sec- tional by overpowering the Jets, taking the Sectional champion- ship, and sending 11 on to the Snider Regional. The Braves won their tenth con- secutive conference title and sev- enth Regional crown.

Other members competing at state were Scott Aurand and Paul Rorick. The 1980-81 season went the same way as the state competition with the Braves only losing 2 of their 1 6 meets, both being ROTC schools. The Bellmont girls bowling team also performed in the stat e meet and also did exceptionally well. The girls earned a 4th place with 2,082 total pins. Janet Nevil took 3rd place honors for high series with a 468. The team of 5 looks to improve their marks as all return for next year.

This proved to be true this season tor the cin- dermen. Although the Braves record was 1-10, many records were broken and many excep- tional performances were turned in by team members. Senior veteran stand outs Barry Barger and Jim Solik both set new school records. Barry shattered the old 800 meter dash record with an outstanding time ot 1 :59.2. Barger also placed 2nd at Coher- ence and 4th at Sectional earning him a spot at Regional, at which he did not place, but set his new record. Veteran Jim Solik broke the 400 meter dash with a time ot 52.5. Sophomore Ken Swales also set a new pace tor the 3200 meter race with a time ot 9:59.7. New times were also turned in in the 1600 meter race by Kent Kieter and Scott Sheets, as they are co- holders ot the record. Senior veteran Barry Barger kicks into high gear as he passes his opponents in the conterence meet. Barry placed 2nd, just fractions ot a second behind.

With high hopes that this would be our year to win, we made plans for our last float, A Dip in the Road, to be built in Kris Frey ' s garage. But along with the gloomy rain on homecoming night came the dis- appointing news that we had placed last. However, the disappointment didn ' t linger, for the excitement had only just begun. After all, this was the year that our classmates were the king and queen candi- dates. No longer were we just rep- resented by mere attendants. After Susan McAhren and Tony Meyer were crowned as the royal couple, the year was off — and there was no slowing it down. It was one thing after another: ordering our caps, gowns, and announcements from Herff-Jones; winning the spirit stick twice with the help of the Good 01 ' Boys; choosing Teresa Woebbeking as Silver Arrow Queen; signing up with who we wanted to walk with at graduation; Amy Stimpson, Ron Pilkington, Barry Barger, and Sharon Voglewede being awarded blankets at the spring athletic des- sert; awards assembly; finals; graduation practice; commence- ment; tassels turning . . . and it a came to an abrupt halt. Our high school days wen behind us, but where had the yea gone to? It had seemed like onl ' yesterday when we were choosinr our class colors of burgundy an cream; our class flower of a re rose; and our class motto, Happi ness is inward, not outward; an so it does not depend on what wt have, but on what we are.

The National Merit Program selected over 13,500 students from all over the nation to be final- ists. The award was based on out- standing academic ability and on scores from the Scholastic Apti- tude Tests. Wayne was also chosen as one of the finalists in the Presidential Scholar Program. One hundred forty-one students were selected from among the most outstanding graduating seniors in the United States. The award was based on accomplishments in several areas: academic success, artistic talent, leadership, and involvement in school and in the community. Candidates were again chosen by the score on the SAT tests. Wayne scored a 1540 out of a possible 1600 on the SAT. Wayne plans to attend Purdue University in the fall to continue his education in the field of engineer- ing and Scott plans to attend Indi- ana University in Bloomington.

With the sun shining bright, sun- burned faces, and 85 degree weather, 62 seniors and chaper- ones Mrs. Zalas and Dr. and Mrs. Hanson toured the major sites of Washington, D.C, on the April 3 senior trip. The seniors began their day by boarding a bus at school at 5:45 which took them to Baer Field to meet their plane destined for Dul- lus Airport in Washington. After the flight and the breakfast of cin- namon rolls, orange juice, and milk, the group boarded two buses for a fun-filled day of sightseeing. Their first stop was the Arlington National Cemetery to view the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Then it was on to the Capitol Building where Indiana Represent- ative Phil Sharp met the group for a tour of the Speaker ' s Library and the Dome of the Capitol Hall. The one big disappointment was not being able to tour the White House, but visiting the Smithsonian Institute and seeing the Hope Diamond and the Space Center with the First Gemini made up for that. One tour bus was also able tc see the exact location where the assasination attempt on President Reagan took place. Other moments to remember were lunch at either Roy Rogers or the fast service McDonald ' s, the Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Mem- orial, and the Washington Monu- ment. The exhausted group returned to Bear Field at 8 p.m. with sore feet and jam-packed memories of their Washington trip. 1 20 — Seniors Michelle Fruchte Deborah Fry Leonard Furhmann Karen Fullenkamp Allen Gage Eric Gage Randy Gage imothy Gase Nancy Geimer Michael Gentis Timothy Gerke Daniel Girod Fred Grote Mark Grote Laura Guise LisaGumm Nancy Hackme Geoffrey Hake Gregory Hakes Jeffrey Hall Seniors — 121 Rhonda Hammond Diane Hamrick Sheila Hamrick Mary Hann Joanne Harden Kraig Hart Judy Harvey Scott Hebble Gary Helmrich Beverly Hendricks Kerry Hess Martin Hess Dannica Hile Deborah Hill Jerry Hurst Ted Hutker Missy Irwin Linda Jaurequi Phyllis Jaurequi Margaret Jones 1 22— Seniors Seniors recall last moments at B.H.S.

Being a senior meant most of all graduating. Along with graduation came the decision of what to do after high school. Wednesday, May 20, our last day of high school, marked the end of chemistry critiques, fog delays and snow days, as well as the closing of our high school careers. Family members and close f riends were proud as were ' eceived our diplomas May 24. Many were not sure where they A ere heading. Some planned to ind a respectable job they were qualified to do or made plans for Tiarriage. College-bound seniors gath- ered momentum over the summer months toward their plans for school that fall by purchasing alarm clocks, towels, stamps, envelopes, and popcorn poppers. Along with preparing for college came decisions of selecting a major and minor, freshman orien- tation, and receiving campus housing notices. Some looked forward to taking long and short trips during the months of June, July and August. Spanish and French students trav- eled abroad to Spain and France while others whittled away week- ends at nearby lake cottages. Still others spent their summer work- ing part-time jobs and staying in town with friends. The months of summer follow- ing graduation provided us with the breather we needed before we began working toward our future plans. It was a time to collect thoughts and to set goals, a time for first big decisions and for last goodbye ' s. Saying goodbye wasn ' t easy, but it marked the first big step toward our future lives. Lives that were sure to be different than the lives we had led for the past twelve years. As you can see, senior Gary Helmrich is well prepared for his next class, but Scott Ainsworth seems to have forgot- ten his pencil. Seniors — 127 Seniors name Caddyshack, Styx . Both during school and outside of school, there were many things upon which the seniors as a class agreed upon. They were known as the favorites for the Class of 1981, and they ranged from favorite classes to favorite movies. When seniors were asked about their favorite movies, they chose the comedies, Caddyshack, Stircrazy, and Seems Like Old Times. While the seniors most-men- tioned singing groups covered a wide range of different sounds: REO Speedwagon, Styx, and Led Zeplin, the singing group AC DC and their hit song Back in Black, could not be beaten as they led the charts for most of the year. While some seniors worked on Saturday morning or slept in to recover from Friday night activi- ties, many were up in time watch their favorite cartoons Bugs Bunny Road Runn Hour, Tarzan, and The Pir Panther. Cartoons and chara ters seemed to go together as tr long-eared Wascally WabbiL Bugs Bunny was named as tr seniors ' favorite cartoon chara ter. These were just a few seni favorites outside of school .... Bruce Rider Daniel Roman Nancy Roop Paul Rorick William Ross Linda Ruble David Rumschlag Gerald Rumschlag Varsity cheerleaders Ann Bentz, Rhonda Keuneke, Judy Harvey, and Marilyn Blythe shed a few tears after the loss of the sectional basketball game to Norwell. It not only marked the end of the 1981 basketball season, but also the end of the girls ' careers as high school cheerlead- ers. 1 28 — Seniors Scott Salway James Scherry Joey Schindler Dyonis Schmitt Ruth Schnitz Samuel Schnurr Janet Schultz Micheal Scott ' Secaur Patrick Sefton Joann Selking Patricia Serna Kathy Setser Jeffery Sheets Yvonne Simerman Jani Sipe Seniors — 1 29 Julie Stout Jeff Strickler Sherry Strickler DebraThieme Janet Thieme Larry Thieme Tina Thieme Debbie Turner Chris Uhrick Gregory Voglewede Sharon Voglewede MarkWellman Bonnie Werling Michael Werling Ron Wilder Steven Winans Seniors Lori Carpenter, Kraig Hart, and Janet Thieme take a moment out of Astronomy class to pose for the camera on senior dress down day. 130— Seniors . Psych as three of their favorites . . . The seniors also chose their favorites at BHS. Their favorite classes were Government and Law, Psychology, Grammar Review and Research Writing, and of course, Study Hall. The seniors chose as their favorite teachers, Mr. Hanson, who with his joking manner was able to make even politics seem interesting, and Mrs. Schauss, who with her charm was able to convince almost every senior that research papers could be fun. Seniors were asked what they enjoyed most during their four years of high school. Many responded: having fun with friends and attending the weekend par- ties; but the majority agreed that their most enjoyable moments in high school were spent meeting the people and making new friends. The most popular responses as to what they would change at BHS if they had the chance were: lunches, easing up on the rules, and receiving better food selec- tions at lunch. Although seniors would have jumped at the chance to change various things around school, the anxious class of ' 81 confessed that they had mixed emotions about graduating and leaving their high school years in the past. They wanted to get on with life but would miss their friends and the times spent together. Many were scared to be out on their own not knowing what they were going to do. One senior summed up the feel- ings of being a senior, perfectly, We are happy to be moving on to bigger things, more opportunities, new people; but it is also hard not to feel sad about the old friends that will be left behind. However, we must be content with our happy memories of our friends, good times, and our high school days. Nearly all seniors would agree with that.

Senior Activities — 1 35 Juniors encounter new experiences Our third year of high school was one of decisions, trial and error, and new experiences. We had already been seasoned to the work required in building a float for homecoming. For hours on end we worked with the ideas we had at Marty Aumann ' s home, and for this effort we were recog- nized with a third place finish. Our junior year was one of experiences. We decided to sell popcorn to raise the over $2000 we needed to sponsor the Junior- Senior prom in May. Once again, our class members gathered to put together ideas. But this time around, it was a totally different project than build- ing a float, as we had no experi- ence at organizing a prom. We could only go by the work and suggestions of the classes before us. Successful it was though, as one hundred plus couples arrived in the commons on May 2 to enjoy what we had worked so hard to produce, Come Sail Away. Another decision our class made was concerned with class motto, colors, and flowers. Aftei gathering ideas, the choices were put on a ballot. The winners were class motto — Do not follow where the path leads, rather gel where there is no path and leave si trail; class colors — lavender and cream; class flowers — white rose and violets. Through each of these experi- ences we were able to develop as a class . . . the junior class of 81, and the soon-to-be senior class of 82. Emily Kunkel and Jody Pickford show their school spirit by dressing up for cos- tume day. This year ' s float theme was road signs. The junior class float, Bumpy Roads Ahead, placed third in the contest. Junior class officers: Phil Smith — Presi- dent, B. J.

Weekend hours were spent many ditterent ways. Some went to work to pay for that new 1981 Omni, while others went to a movie such as Nine to Five. Then there were the typical weekends of cruising and seeing friends. But no matter what one did, weekends were enjoyed because right around the corner was 8:1 5 Monday morning.

For those who were serious about college plans, the SAT was serious business. After half an hour of completing the preliminary information of name, grade, and school identifi- cation number, the students set their minds to defining amiable and equilibrium and solving for x when2x + 2x + 2x= 12. Making mental notes about picking up corsages made it hard for many to concentrate, and thus, even more difficult to put answers down in the correct column on the computerized sheets. Blue skies and sunshine added to the lack of concentration as some had thoughts of getting a head start on a tan, while others became uptight when thoughts of completing prom decorations came to mind. However, the butterflies soon disappeared as those taking the test buried themselves into aca- demic thought, taking time out only to glance at the clock in hopes that the test ' s end time would be just around the corner. After the test was finally com- pleted and the last pencil mark had been put down on the sheet, those same 169 juniors and sen- iors left only with headaches and visions of the exciting night ahead of them: a night at the long- awaited prom.

Juniors — 143 Sophomores elect all-girl officers A girl is as capable as a guy. This was apparently what the sophomore class thought as they elected four girls to their class offices. Barb Lichtle was elected president; Nancy Butcher, vice- president; Shelly Hebble, secre- tary; and Amy Tharp, treasurer. These class officers were busy throughout the year with many tasks. They kept with tradition by serving punch at the Junior-Senior Prom, along with plans for money- making projects for next year. They worked after school on their winning float for homecoming and also worked in the concessic stands during basketball season raise money. All in all, the four girls agree that this was a very successf year.

How many more days until my bug collection is due for Biol- ogy? When will the nine weeks be over so I won ' t have to suffer through another paper in Basic Comp? I can ' t wait until the end of the semester and no more Phys. Ed.! These were some familiar words as the countdown seemed never ending for the sophomores. We counted the days until that all important 16th birthday . . . and the one month until we finally got our licenses. No longer did we hitch a ride from an upperclass- man or wait around for Mom and Dad. Yes, we all counted the days, but for some of us, it was sad when the countdown actually did end.

Competing against them were the freshmen, juniors, and seniors. Many members of the sopho- more class stayed after school and worked on Saturdays to help complete the float. The theme of the float was Dead End for the Knights. Many long hours were spent working on the float, but everyone agreed that they had a lot of fun and the results were well worth it. The sophomore class was awarded forty dollars to go into their treasury, for their winning efforts. The 1980 winner of the homecoming float contest was the tloat entered by the sophomore class, Dead End for the Knights.

Sophomores — 151 Freshman ' s first year is successful Being a freshman. Oh, what memories that brings back. For instance, the first time we attempted to build a class float for homecoming. Each night, for a week, we gathered at Brad Boyle ' s barn to piece together what few ideas we had ... but the pieces fit together surprisingly well as we ended up with a second place fin- ish. We also again showed we had spunk as we won the spirit stick twice, even though we were booed by the upperclassmen. At the beginning of the year we elected those who would lead us as a class. Our student council members were: Terry McCardwell, Keith Harvey, Steph Gross, Tony Frey, Suzy Clark, Regina Klinker, Wendy Shaefer, and Cheryl Noo- nan. Our class officers were: Mit; Bultemeier, Jeni Imel, Karen Nyfl eler and Jenny McDonald. Thea were the people who led u through thick and thin.

My mom has a meeting, it ' s Dad ' s bowling night, and my brother swore he would never play taxi for me again. (I should have never tried to cram the whole treshmen foot- ball team into his V.W.) This happened to quite a few freshmen. But, keep a stiff upper lip, next year is the big 16 and finally ... a means of transporta- tion. When you ' re not old enough to have a license, how do you get around? Fresh- man Matt Scheidler and Brad Boyle found their alternative, a bicycle.

To most of us, a book was used by teach- ers to assign homework or book reports from. But books were use- ful in other inventive ways. For example, books were a great place to doodle when time seemed to move slowly in a class. And, didn ' t the term book notes mean notes that were written in the margins? That is, in special cases when you forgot your note- book.

The terrible results from that mad dash made from the car into school on a rainy day were less- ened simply by putting a book over your head. Some of us found mischievous uses for books. One of the most common was opening your locker door and watching all of your books fall to your feet, commonly refered to as the stacked locker. Others felt that the best way to get someone ' s attention was to give them a tap with a book. There were also the more prac tical uses for books. They could b used to prop up a short leg of table, as beverage coasters, or stacked up high enough, a ste stool. Books are also nice to pres flowers in, or to smash bugs with. So, even if you don ' t enjoy reac ing, be sure to keep some book on hand. You never know whe one might come in handy. 156 — Freshmen ft ft ft ft L ' J M I Roger Lautzenheiser Scott Lautzenheiser Christa Lee Kevin Linnemeier Karen Lister Connie Lopez Denise Lough Lynn Lovellette Daniel Macklin Kenneth Masoner Jennifer Matheson David Mathews Terry McCardwell James McClurg Melanie McCullough Amy McDonald Jeffrey McDonald Jennifer McDonald Shawn McHugh Lon Mclntyre Gregory Miller Theodore Miller Steven Moeller John Morgan yfe.- , % : Mrs. Weber helps freshman Tim Davis during a study period in Basic Grammar. Freshmen — 157 Freshmen face some common problems Being a freshman was a very trying experience. One of the most annoying encounters was when you had to go from Basic Grammar in Room D119, up to your locker on the second floor, and then to the gym for P.E. — all in a span of five min- utes. Or when you were only five feet short and were assigned to a top locker. For others, it was try- ing when they finally found a little time to relax during their lunch mod, and a senior tapped them on the shoulder and said, Carry my tray. Others experienced having to wait eight hours to visit the rest- room for they were afraid of what might happen once they were inside.

Future possible cutbacks may nclude summer school or possi- )ly the elimination of school pro- jrams if state assistance is cut off. The year also saw the adoption of a new athletic code and the joining of North Adams with other schools in Adams and Wells coun- ties in the Special Education Co- op. The Northwest Elementary school expansion project added seven new classrooms and a cafe- teria area. Completion date for the project was set for late August 1981. The deterioration of the roof of Bellmont High School prompted the reroofing of some sections of the structure with costs totaling $250,000. The projected date for the rest of the roofing project to be completed is 1983. Mr. Francis Geimer, a nine-year school board member retired in March, being replaced by Mr. Don Baker.

No, we didn ' t spend our mornings trudging through three feet of snow to reach an unheated red brick schoolhouse as our parents did. Times have changed, and from what our parents tell us, for the better. But have they? Paying $1 .60 for a gallon of unleaded gasoline seemed a bit unreasonable, especially when it was burned up cruisin ' the streets of Decatur. We forked over $1 .15 for a Big Mac attack, $7.95 for an AC DC Back in Black album, and $3.75 to take in a movie at the Southtown Cinema. It ' s true prices soared sky high and that we paid for our good times, but weren ' t they worth the pennies we pitched? You bet! But hold on. Money couldn ' t buy everything. There wasn ' t a price on true friendship or on the hour-long telephone con- versations with the pal just down the road or on the memories caught up in dried prom corsages, old newspaper clippings, and graduation tassles hanging from rear view mirrors. We discovered that our memories weren ' t for sale — at any price. Both the good and the bad were ours to keep, forever. These were our high school days, the days that seemed just like yesterday.

Index— 203 It can ' t be called just another year Another year older; another year wiser; but was it just another year? In more ways than one, no. At first glance it would seem that the disappointments ran more than their share of the course. Home- coming was rained out and Silver Arrow was fogged in. The grading system was stiffened and lunch prices skyrocketed to an all-time high of seventy cents. Attendance bottomed out when flu hit in epi- demic proportions and when spring rolled around, but spring break didn ' t. All in all, it looked like a gloomy year — but don ' t let first impres- sions fool you. Take a second look. After all, everyone knows that to every coin, there is a flip side. On their final trek across thes school grounds before commencement exer- cises in the gymnasium are seniors Deb Hill, Gary Helmrich, Laurie Clark, and Eric Bulmahn. Once again, enthusiasm was high at the sporting events as the Good 01 ' Boys organized them- selves, bought shirts from a local J. A. company, created their own original sideline chants, and made ther name synonymous with spirit. This was also the year that Bell- mont produced yet another state wrestling champ as B. J. Faurote captured the 98 pound weight class at Market Square. But don ' t think he ' ll stop there. Being only a junior, B. J. has one more season left, and possibly, one more state championship that he could call his own. Respect for the student govern- ment was also looking up as Tony Meyer headed the student body as council president and Scott Aurand, the senior class, as i president. Next years student body als looks to be in good hand although the seats have taken drastic change. For the first time the history of Bellmont, the sti dent body and the senior class w be led by two females: Susa Price and Lisa Wellman, respei tively. That ' s proof enough th, we ' re not standing still — we ' i changing with the changing time: With all of this, and even mon how could anyone say it was ju another year? Much more ca happen in one year than just adc ing another candle to the cak We proved that. THIS WAS TH YEAR FOR OUR PLACE, an when looking around, next ye promises to be even better! Junior Linette Becker takes a Pepsi and pizza break while working on the year- book. Although classes were officially dismissed for the summer on May 28, vacation didn ' t begin for those on the yearbook staff until the final page was completed on June 3. Receiving his fifth place medallion for his accomplishments in the 200 individual medley at the state swimming meet is senior Jeff Hake. Jeff also placed in the butterfly at the state meet. 204— Closing With graduation just around the corner, Tony Meyer, in a state of elation, models his newly-arrived cap and gown. Senior Eric Bulmahn radios girls ' track and field results up to the stadium booth. Eric was also a member of this year ' s boys track team. Closing— 205 We made our place more than a building Looking in from the outside, many people would say Bellmont High School looks like any other brick structure. Well, not to us — and we knew what we were talking about. Looking out from the inside, we knew what our place was all about. We knew the people made it special; we knew the special moments made it memorable; we knew the celebrations made the work all worthwhile; and we knew that our place was much, much more than just another structure made out of a bunch of bricks . . . not because it was built that way, but because we made it that way. Our friends were here, our memories were here, and our lives were here. For us . . . Resting after running the 800 meter is senior cinderman Barry Barger as Gary Helmrich gears himself up for the mile run. Matrons Mrs. Butcher and Mrs. Johnson sweep up the papers and debris left by students on their last day of school. 206— Closing f On a spring afternoon after school, Ann Bentz stops to pet her puppy during their jaunt around the tennis courts. Coke adds life, even to school, as Lori Mazelin, Jan Keller, Nancy Hackman, and Sheila Davis toast the approach- ment of summer. Closing— 207 •rf ' -hTiiV-.
