Here Comes Another Year As the school year started and friends were reunited, :hit chat and questions echoed through the hallways 3f Bellmont. First came talks about vhat we had done over the summer. Some had been :ontent staying in Decatur, eeping busy with the ac- :ivities offered here, like Diaying Softball, summer swimming, or catching up on vhat had happened on ' General Hospital. Others spent part of the summer at 3 cottage on the lake, some raveled to different states, and a fortunate few got to travel abroad to Spain and France. But with the talk of sum- mer activities out of the way, it was time to move on to the subject of the 1981-1982 school year. There were discussions, debates and questions about changes that had been made at BHS. Would the new teachers be more strict than the teachers they had replaced? What ex- actly did it take to get sent to the AA room? What were the rules for the AA Team? How many days were allowed in a nine weeks before trouble set in? Could this be the same school we left just three months ago? But as time went by we found it was the same place. Our friends were still here, the teachers were friendly, and the changes made had really been for the improve- ment of our school. Yes, the chit-chat con- tinued, but the questions lessened, and the school year of 1981-82 continued as scheduled. «.. ;.Tfi Friends.

The lives of the Bellmont students can be characteriz- ed by one word — ACTIVE. Whether it was going crazy to the sounds of Black Diamond at an after-game dance in the commons or trying to remember lines for The Rob- ber Bridegroom; our time was always occupied. Many students filled their out-of-class time with prac- tices before and after school. Swimmers and basketball players arrived at school long before the sun rose to practice. Track runners and volleyball and basketball players also made it to before school practices in the early morning hours while other teams practiced after school. Organizations and clubs were more active too. The FCA Chapter at Bellmont was revived after a five year absence. The Sunshine Society increased their ac- tivities this year as they add- ed new events such as the Ma, Pa, and Me dinner and a sweetheart dance. Friday nights were spent at football and basketball games cheering on the Braves and Squaws. After the games, grocery stores soon became full of students buying the TPing supplies. Ft. Wayne was a popular place to go for entertain- ment. BHS students attend- ed many concerts. This year, Kenny Rogers, the Beach Boys, and the J. Geils Band were three of the groups that performed at the coliseum. We could also choose one of the 19 Ft. Wayne theatres to see a movie. Many students also drove through Ft. Wayne to shop at the newly remodeled Glenbrook. Other students gave up some of their extracurricular activities so they could work. Even though jobs were hard to find, a large percentage of BHS students had part-time jobs. If they took COE, DECA or ICT, students could earn credits while working. Whether it was practicing after school, going to Ft. Wayne, or working, our days were always ACTIVE. Mr. Fruechte, Mrs. Brown, and Mr. Bittner give their own version of General Hospital. Freshman Rick Canales concen- trates on dribbling the basltetball at practice. The players had to conne in mornings before school for basket- ball practice. 4 — Opening — - v Everyone gets into the spirit while dancing to rock ' n roll at a pep session.

On the average, a student Dends about 177 days a Bar at school, this totals 239 hours of school a year, ow did we spend all of this me at school, where did it 0? For some the day began as arly as 5:30 a.m., for others was at 7:30 a.m. But even lOugh the times for starting le day off varied; it was all )r the same reason, to go to :hool. What did we do once we ad gotten dressed and by ome form of transportation, rrived at school? For some ' ho arrived early, time was pent in the library returning ooks or finishing up some tudying that hadn ' t been done the day before. For others this time was used socializing with friends and catching up on the happen- ings around B.H.S. Some, the ones who started the day at 7:30, and didn ' t arrive so early barely had enough time to take off their coats and grab their books for class. Because, as always, that first bell would ring at 8:10, warn- ing us our first class would begin in five minutes. The first few minutes of first period were spent listen- ing to the announcements that consisted of sporting event scores and other infor- mation useful to the students. Then it was time to get down to learning! After all, isn ' t that what we were here for. The next break of the day was lunch. Lunch time wasn ' t always used for eating, some used this time to study or chat with friends. Then it was back to classes and more learning. And just as the day had begun, in a similiar way the day came to an end. The final minutes of the last class were devoted to announcements. As the final bell rang some ran to catch buses, but others lingered around to say a tew good-byes. Then it was time to go home, for tomor- row the cycle would start all over again. Spiriti Yes we have it ' Bellmont students show their support for the football team by regularly attending games Take a Closer Look Members of the senior class get up and show their spirit by cheering for their class at a pep session. School wasn ' t always ■ ' ALL WORK AND NO PLAY as a variety of extra activities were offered for students. Tfiere was a lot more to the life of a student than the school day. There were the long-awaited vacations, the ever-popular part-time jobs, snow, rain and of course, the ever-present parties as everyone enjoyed spending time with friends. While some students didn ' t care much for the stu- dent activities . . . there were those who waited daily for the long-awaited evenings and weekends to arrive just to go to that special dance, game or even the final climax of high school, GRADUATION. Student life activities seemed to round out the sharp edges of school, a kind of reward for when the work was done . . . the activities which seniors looked upon as never being able to be a part of again . . .the Homecoming games, prom, awards day and graduation, while freshman looked for- ward to bigger and better floats, prom, powder puff football and the Silver Arrow court in the years to come. Not only in school did we find student life activities as many left school to go to jobs or the time was spent acting crazy, drifting from place to place having fun. Sounds filled the halls daily of news, stories, complaints and excitement about the most recent events. Although most activities involved work of some kind, it wasn ' t the usual kind like algebra problems, chemistry, Spanish translations or a chapter of government to read. We didn ' t seem to mind the time we spent in after-school hours working on prom decorations, rehearsing lines tor the play, or organizing activities for Homecoming. 8 — Student Life Division Tony Hess, Kevin High, Phil Smith. Chris Gross, Ted Baker, and Marty Aumann take a break after pulling the senior float in the Homecoming parade. Some members of the senior powder puff team wait for the big game to start. The seniors were vic- torious over the juniors by a score of Student Life Division— 9 Royal Crowning Ends Week With perfect weather and good attendance, the 1981 Homecoming was a week of fun filled activities sponsored by the Student Council. Special days during the week were observed to show school spirit by dressing in sweatsuits and wearing Bellmont shirts. Wednesday was the an- nual Powder Puff game bet- ween the juniors and seniors, with the seniors winning 8-0. Thursday brought the Homecoming games and bonfire. Game winners were: Tom Torson and B. J. Faurote— tricycle race; Lori Poor, Stacy Gallmeyer, Amy Allison and Kelli Bauman— egg toss; Betty McBride and Rita Brad Hinsky and John Girard at- tempt to amuse Homecoming fans at ttie start of the tricycle race. Rtionda Ulman and Pat f assonne reign as Bellmont ' s 1981 Homecom- ing King and Queen. Koenemann — three-legged race; Mike Weldy— jello eating contest; and Dave Dryer and Ted Baker— mar- shmellow stuffing contest. After the games, was the traditional bonfire. Friday started off with a very spirited pep session and the senior class winning the spirit stick. Using the theme cartoon characters the parade was the best in recent years with large crowds turning out to watch. First place in the float competition was taken by the freshman class entitled Nobody Can Do It Like The Braves Can. During halftime of the Bellmont-Homestead game, seniors Pat Massonne and Rhonda Ulman were crown- ed king and queen. The Homecoming dance followed the game featuring The tVlagic Company band. The commons was decorated with Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Snoopy and Charlie Brown cartoon characters. Student Council chairpeo- ple for Homecoming Week were: parade— Missy Faurote, dance — Shawny Heller, games— Ted Baker and Matt Gross, and queen and king committee — Rita Koenemann. Although there were a few difficulties. Homecoming held many memories for all who participated. 10— Homecoming Week Mothers got into the act at the Homecoming pep session by giving the football team sons a big kiss.

Homecoming Week — 1 1 Money— it ' s easier to spend ones The ice cream-cola section of the when you have a bunch than spen- supermarket, is where most of us ding fives, tens, or twenties. find it very tempting to over spend. Cathy Loshe and Judy Banning lavishly splurge on a cartful of snacks and other grocery items, buying more than they need. 12— Impulsive Spending A Lack of Discipline with Money Impulsive spending . . . nany probably think this arm is reserved for adults, rying to budget their money or needed expenses, but nany students fit into the ;ategory of an impulsive spender. It ' s defined as to ict on impulse rather than hought, or a moment of nadness, temptation, or a simple lack of discipline. But 10 matter what it is called or low it is described, it can spell TROUBLE for even the smallest budget. Impulse buying isn ' t imited to the so-called ' big-ticket items like ewelry, clothes, homes, cars and major appliances. The simplest kind of impulse buy- ng takes place in the super- markets, drugstores and i ariety stores. 113 Another kind of temptation can occur in clothing stores, like the famous saying, I just have to have a pair of Calvin Klein designer jeans even though I already have four pair of jeans that are O.K. but they aren ' t Calvin Kleins! Experts agree that the big- gest contributing factor to impulse buying is the con- sumers inability to discipline themselves in making a budget and planning for cer- tain kinds of purchases. We all know how much we can spend to live reasonably. If we can ' t afford something, then why can ' t we resist the temptation to buy it? Most impulsive spenders begin developing their spen- ding habits at an early age. What begins as a nickel and dime spending spree can lead to serious problems in later years unless help is received. There is an even more dangerous situation to im- pulse buying and that is the access of credit cards. Too many people fall into the plastic money routine, as a way to get out of spending their whole paycheck, but the sometimes enormous amounts are the real dangers. In recent months, the government has tightened restrictions on banks and lending agencies which has some what cut down on the available money to im- pulse spenders. A survey was taken on what most people do with those little pieces of paper we call paychecks. The three main answers were; gasoline, entertainment, and clothes. They were also asked when they spend the most. Some replies were: Christmas, weekends, and when I have a good paycheck. A few ideas on how to cut impulsive spending are: 1) Keep a daily log of all expenses. 2) Prepare a workable budget and stick with it. 3) Learn as much as possi- ble about a product before buying it. 4) When shopping for food never go when you are hungry. No one ever benefits in the long-run as an impulsive spender . . . they just end up with serious money problems. One of the more famous items that impulsive spenders find tempting are refreshments and snacks. Impulsive Spending — 13 All the World ' s on Stage From the opening strains of Once Upon the Natchez Trace to the closing number Where O Where, a cast of 20 students filled the auditorium with comedy and music presenting The Rob- ber Bridegroom in December. The stage was set as the outline of a barn with the country hoedown about to begin, in and around Rodney, Mississippi. Many familiar faces were present on stage for the musical from previous performances. Lead roles were Julie Lengerich as Rosamund Musgrove and John Girard as Jamie Lockhart who meet in the woods and there in love at first sight. An unusual aspect of the play was that the orchestra was actually a part of the cast. Under the direction of Mr. Barry Reasoner, they performed from the stage, dressed in the costume of the day and helped your toes begin to tap as they played the music background and accompaniment. Student director was Brad Hinsky and student vocal director was John Girard. Jeff Coyne was stage manager and light director was Dave Hilyard. Directors Tom Kaough and Janice Reynolds, the cast, the orchestra and the crews combined for a fine effort in all three performances. The townspeople sing one of the melodies during the second act of their performance. Rosmund (Julie Lengerich) and Cle- ment (Brad Hinsky) portray a father-daughter scene. 14— Fall Play Jaime Lockhart (John Girard) comes to supper at Clement Musgrove ' s (Brad Hinsky) but Clement does not realize that Jaime is a bandit of the woods and plans to rob him. Salome (Diane O ' Dell) tries to per- suade Goat (Larry Toole) to push Rosamund over a cliff as Goat ' s mother (Ivlelba McDaniel) listens. Jaime and Rosamund along with the townspeople sing and dance to one of the tunes in act one. Little Harp (Dan Gerwig) and Goat (Larry Toole) sing Poor Tied Up Darling. Fall Play— 15 An unidentified student spends time in ttie A A room studying. Students assigned to tlie room are not allow- ed to sleep or talk to ottiers and are to be busy at all times. Mrs. Misctiler, who is in charge of students in the A A room, types tests, worksheets and other papers for teachers and staff members as part of her job. 16— A A Room In-School Suspension Is Created Smokin g, tardiness to school, or the use of profane or vulgar language are just a few of the offenses that can result in trouble for students. This year, an overall crack- down on discipline was a dis- tinct change that BHS stu- dents had to adjust to. With revisions in the attendance policy also came the estab- lishment of the attitude adjustment room or A A room as it was labled. The a a room provided a quiet environment for stu- dents to work while still being reprimanded for their offen- ses. In-school suspension was held in C1 19 and had enough room for six students and the supervisor, Mrs. Judy Mischler. Mr. Brunstrup was the coordinator of the discipline program. Students had to spend the entire day, except for two supervised restroom breaks and a 30 minute lunch break in the room, reading or doing the assignments given to them by their teachers. Before entering the A A room, students were given a list of rules and regulations for the day. Students had to give up all school-related activities while serving time in the a A room. In the spring of 1981, prin- cipal Ron Bittner, assistant principal Lee Hoopingarner, assistant superintendent Dr. Springer and school social worker Sandy Harants met and talked with students who had been suspended from school in the past and decided that being sus- pended out of school was more like a vacation than a punishment and felt the con- sequences should be more drastic. Thus the decision to try in-school suspension was made. The administrators felt in- school suspension was a good way to deal with acces- sive absence and tardies because students didn ' t like it. Student reactions to the A A room varied. Some felt it was too harsh, but others felt it was about time students were given a punishment that didn ' t seem like a vacation. Several students agreed that the a a room reduced the number of tardies. Whether students liked it or not, in-school suspension, had a very positive effect upon the behavior of the stu- dents, stated assistant prin- cipal Mr. Hoopingarner. According to Hoopingar- ner, since the revised policy has been in effect, the out-of- school suspensions went down by more than 50 per- cent. And that ' s an improvement! comm- mented Hoopingarner. Assistant principal Mr. Hoopingar- ner, explains the rules of the attend- ance policy and the attitude adjust- ment room to an unidentified stu- dent. a a Room— 17 Bauman Reigns as Silver Arrow Queen According to the legend, each year the Indian God Manito sends out his Silver Arrow to find the fairest maiden in all the tribes. The tradition continues to live on at Bellmont as each year one girl is selected as the Silver Arrow Queen. In the past, the crowning and dance took place on the same evening, but this year the crowning took place dur- ing the Heritage game on Tuesday evening, February 9, as Kellie Bauman was crowned the 1982 Silver Ar- row Queen. Other senior court members were Geri Rorick and Leann Geels. Junior attendants were Mary Irwin and Dawn Stoppenhagen. The dance was held on Saturday evening, February 13, from 9-12 in the com- mons. Decorated with streamers and snowflakes enhancing the theme Winter Wonderland, students danced to the sounds of Infinity. Even though six days of no school lapsed between the announcement of the final senior candidates and the crowning due to the incle- ment weather, the 1982 Silver Arrow was a success. Loyal friends gather around to get a quicl picture and to congratulate ttie new Silver Arrow Queen. Teresa Woebbeking and Rick Ross (last year ' s queen and escort) con- gratulate Kellie Bauman and Phil Smith at the crowning ceremonies.

The bright, colorful, and festive at- mosphere lent its authentic cheerfulness to the crazy ex- ploding of the tomato cans. Subtle lights, imaginary scenery and the turn-of-the century costumes carefully drew the audience toward the stage. Dolly, (Melba McDaniel), the main character, ap- peared on a street in the Gay Nineties New York. She was the type of woman who had her nose in every business but her own, a shrewd lady and a matchmaker. Horace Vandergelder (Brad Hinsky) played a mean vicious man who does not believe in love but later falls in love with Dolly and marries her. Cornelius Hackel (Mike Heckman) and Mrs. Molloy (Julie Rumschlag) who owns a hatshop, meet in the end and also fall in love. Cast members worked ex- tra hard and spent endless hours of rehearsal in an at- tempt to have a large tur- nout, which indeed is what they did. Over 1000 people turned out to view this creative play. Special effects were cre- ated by the lighting and stage crew, and Mr. and Mrs. Pilk- ington were in charge of the set design. Music was pro- vided by the pit orchestra under the direction of Mr. Reasoner. Mrs. Doonan and Miss Reynolds were in charge of vocal and choreog- raphy. Student production manager was Brad Hinsky. Many long hours were put in by Mr. Tom Kaough who pro- duced and directed the entire cast. Dolly (Melba McDaniel) and Horace (Brad Hinsky) casually meet in the hat shop while Barnaby (Bill Reink- ing) and Mrs. Molloy (Julie Rumschlag) look on. Melba McDaniel sits patiently while Mrs. Doonan carefully applies her make-up for one of the three performances.

' s Pops ' 82 is a Success The annual tradition of the ops Concert was presented )n April 17th and 18th with he theme Pops ' 82. The wo-act performance opened vith the concert choir sing- ng Good ' Ole Country usic. The treble singers performed to the music of On Broadway and in- dividual performances were done by Bill Reinking, Rhon- da Gibson, and Matt Ellinger, who all sang solos. Under the direction of Mrs. Doonan, Miss Reynolds, and Mr. Reasoner, fine perfor- mances were turned in by the Concert Choir, Treble Singers, Pegasus, Full House, Brave Generation, Band of Braves, and the Aux- iliary Corps along with many individual acts. The lighting crew con- sisted of Brad Hinsky and Bobby Hakes. The 1982 Pops Concert was a great success with many in attendance to view the various talented acts and dances. :- i i£- KVvujLj fif lit - Members of the Auxiliary Corps per- form Bottle Dance under the direction of Mr. Reasoner.

Pops Concert— 23 Old Man Winter Strikes Stay tuned for the latest school announcements ... became a familiar sound as students faithfully tuned in to WADM and WOWO daily to find out whether school was delayed or cancelled. As if receiving 75.7 inches of snow wasn ' t enough, when all the STUFF melted we had the drama of severe floods as the St. Mary ' s river crested at 24.4 feet in mid- March. The two major roads to the school were closed as was the main entrance to the school flooded shut, with all traffic being rerouted 8.5 miles around on country roads. Fog was also a problem as school was cancelled four days and delayed several more because of the incle- ment conditions. Students enjoyed the days off snowmobiling and sleep- ing late. All efforts were made to hold classes during the foul weather conditions. With seventeen school days missed and because of the value of each educational day, an announcement was made in early March for a limited bus schedule to be used on marginal days. This plan was to be used if it would be impossible for some roads and or corners to be cleared to accom- modate school buses. Students living on designated roads would be picked up at the usual boar- ding locations, while others would have to find alternate transportation or walk to a bus pick up point. This Emergency Route System was adopted by the school board. The teachers had to revise their lesson plans so the students understood the most important parts of the class and left out many of the minor details. This meant more tests and less time for classroom discussion. It also meant more homework and other assignments to be completed at home. Numerous roads throughout the county were closed to traffic and workmen distributed HIGH WATER signs and frequently measured rising waters. The winter of 82 kept all of us busy, and for a few of the days, transportation was at a standstill. 24— Winter Weather Winter Weather— 25 Weekends: Dances, Friends Fun What are weekends? Those glorious days off from the routine schedule of Mon- day through Friday. The most important thing about weekends is ... NO SCHOOL! To many it was a time to relax, be with friends, cruise through town, and a time to just do as you wished. Weekends were getting away from it all, as the worry of homework and tests were forgotten until 8; 15 Monday morning. Many students had the op- portunity to help or par- ticipate on weekends with school events like working in the concession stands during football and basketball seasons, or helping decorate for weekend dances or prac- ticing for the school play. As warm weather ap- proached, many students spent time going to the lake or basking in the sun. Others enjoyed going to the famous nightspots around town like McDonalds or Hammonds parking lot just to chat with friends. The drive-in was another spot where many turned up. Even with the high price of gasoline a few still drove to Ft. Wayne to see a movie or attend a concert. But for the unlucky ones who had to work or stay home because no transpor- tation was available, discovered that it wasn ' t so bad staying home watching their favorite T.V. show or H.B.O. For most students the weekends had its advan- tages over the long school week with many kids making plans all ready on Monday morning, giving them something to look forward to throughout the week. Eric Burk and Scott Saunders wave to the camera while relaxing after a tiresome weekend rehearsal of Hello Dolly. Sarah Burk, Scott Kitson, and Tim Davis spend one of their weekends at school being entertained at one of the dances in the commons by the Student Council. 26— Weekends Members of the Legend Staff and Brave Talk StaH gather around to view the exchange gifts everyone received at a party.

Weekends— 27 Prom Features ' ' Best of Times ' ' Evening gowns, tuxedos, corsages, boutonnieres and all the accessories are a few of the ways to describe prom. The gorgeous evening was filled with excitement and glamour. This year Bellmont ' s prom was entitled The Best of Times and featured the band Breakaway. Prom was a little different as a catered in meal with a delicious menu of ham, bak- ed potatoes, green beans, salad and dessert bar, punch and dinner rolls were served. The dinner began at 7:00 p.m. The dance started at 9:00 and lasted until midnight. After the dance the movie, Love At First Bite was shown in the auditorium. The commons was decorated as a beautiful garden setting of hanging baskets filled with flowers, plants, a gazebo and a foot bridge built by Mark Walchle and Rich Shamerloh. The pictures were taken by Af- folder Photography. It was a truly romantic, fun-filled evening for those who attended and helped decorate. Nikki Secaur and Cindy Macklin take a break from dancing to get some punch and to chat. Teresa Miller admires her silk rose as her date Roger Wilder looks on.

From the first day we walk- i through the halls as eshman to the final day of wards and graduation prac- :e the senior class, would ave memories of high :hool pondered for years. As we looked back on our eshman year we remembered that we were the first class to order our class rings as freshmen and as sophomores we selected more academic classes to be taken as we started thinking of our future careers. As juniors, everyone had the opportunity to help with the planning and construc- tion of the prom, Come Sail Away. It also was the year for being the underdogs in the Homecoming Powder Puff football game. But was being a senior that great? With no senior class trip to Washington D. C, did we really have that much to look forward to? There was the start of a new annual dance; Sadie Hawkins, which gave many seniors a chance to be with the special girl or guy of their choice. The senior class of 1982 remembered all the good times and fun shared with friends. Also, we remembered our fellow classmate B.J. Faurote, the first in many years to make his second trip to the state wrestling championship. With money left over in the class treasury, the senior class had a pizza party on April 25th in the commons for class members. Most seniors can look back on their four years at Bellmont and recall unforget- table events that will always stick in their minds and their hearts. JS- -2: t . .r Ws. -dk ' . Seniors Kelli Bauman, Stacy Gallmeyer, Laura Gunsett and Heidi Hal es spend their free-time eating pizza and watching the Light and Sound show performed at the party.

On Sunday, May 23. Bell- ont held its Fifteenth An- jal Baccalaureate and ommencement exercises ith 236 seniors receiving plomas. This year was a little dif- rent than previous years. 16 1982 class had a iledictorian — Nancy Brun- on and co- ilutatorians — Emily Freeby id Mike Heckman. Several scholarships were ■esented during the iremony. Class sponsors 3re Mrs. Cindy DesJean id Mr. Bob Scheidler, who )th served all four years th the 1982 class preparing )ats, prom and graduation. During the commence- ent exercises, Mr. Ray Rogers superintendent of North Adams welcomed the graduates and their parents and friends. Class president Lisa Wellman, vice-president Brent Faurote, secretary LeAnn Helmrich and treasurer Dave Dryer each had a part in the ceremony introducing speakers and giving the invocation and the benediction. Mr. Larry Reinking, president of the school board presented the diplomas while Rev. Mischler, pastor from the Church of God, gave the sermon. The recessional.

Graduation— 33 Take a Closer Look It was here in the luncli room where many friendships were made. This is where we met our lunch pals who grew to be our friends. g s! - If variety is the spice of life, then Bellmont is one spicy enchilada. For there was no such thing as a typical student. We had jocks, bookworms, brown nosers, preppies, attention getters, and many other labels that people apply to other people. When the morning bell rang and the hallways filled with people, it was hard to recognize some of them, let alone remember that each one of those people was an individual with thoughts and feelings of his own. Each day we would bump into someone that we didn ' t even know. But soon you realized that you bumped in- to that person quite often and, over the years this per- son you didn ' t even know ex- isted became your best friend. The person you could share ideas, opinions, and feelings with. But this was the person who would also let you be yourself and respected you as that person. If it were not for the wide variety of people, would life be as interesting? No, for the wide variety of people made life worthwhile. For it is the variety of these different in- dividuals that made the school come alive. Because of the masses of people, the halls of Bellmont are alive with excitement and people getting to know each other. Surely the phrase variety is the spice of life applies to the students and faculty of BHS, for among this variety of people is where we have found our friends. And because of these friends we have memories that will last us a lifetime. 34 — Album Division It wasn ' t hard to find people willing to pose for a picture on senior dress day. Pictured are: Tammy Busick, Janette Irwin, Geri Rorick, Susie Loshe and Lisa Wellman. The faculty of BHS did more than just teach. They were also at the extra-curricular activities supporting the teams. Shown here are Mr. and Mrs. Worthman at a track meet. Lisa Jauregue works on typing her feature story for the Brave Talk. Lisa was responsible for the Harold and Gertrude features, and many other features. Album Division— 35 Seniors Enjoy Final Year at BHS Being a senior was the time every freshman looked for- ward to. Waiting those four years and thinking it could never happen. Those long awaited moments of finally having release time and a shortened school day for some was an excitement for the seniors. The years here at Bellmont went by so quickly that it seemed impossible that we really were seniors. It was the last time around for Home- coming, Silver Arrow, prom, pops, sports, and other activ- ities. IVIost seniors can recall the memories that were shared with their friends. Going to wrestling matches, football and basketball games and afterwards spending a good time at a party or going out for pizza. Whether it was a school event or just spending time with your friends — these were memories that would never be forgotten. Phil Smith shows his craziness by trying a new style on Kellie Bau- mans ' hair. Durjng halftlme at one of the home tootball games, Amy Allison and Lori Poor show their school spirit by lin- ing up in the victory tine to cheer on their team.

As they finished their early morning tasks they all piled into their cars and headed for Bellmont to show that the seniors were number one by cheering and scream- ing through the halls. The bell rang at 2:45 and the junior and senior girls anxiously ran out to the sta- dium for the big Powder Puff Football game. Pat Massonne, Quan Vu, Kevin High, and Scott Saun- ders lead cheers in their hilarious cheerleading outfits. Susan Bohnke Doris Bosch Daniel Boyle Nancy Brunton Before the long awaited game the seniors gathered around for their pep talk with coaches Kevin Burkhalter, Nick Miller, Jeff Witte, and Greg Kable. The game started and there were a lot of great defensive plays while the game still at half time was 0- 0. Then, finally at fourth quar- ter the seniors made a triple reverse as Sharon Gerber went all the way for a touch- down and seniors took the pass instead of the field goal and made the score 8-0. This was a big victory for the sen- iors and a disappointment for the juniors.

FAVORITES . . . Everyone has favorites, so its only fit- ting to compile a list of favorites for the Class of ' 82. While other graduating classes in the past seemed to have had one or two definite favorites the class of ' 82 had a variety of favorites ranging from favorite classes to favorite singing group. When asked about their favorite movies the seniors chose comedies to scary movies, Porky ' s was the 1 choice, while Stripes, Halloween II, and Raiders of the Lost Ark were also chosen. Brad HInsky Thomas Hoffman Angelene Hottell Christine Imel Janette Irwin Paul Johnson Favorite classes were Algebra, Grammar Review and Research Writing, Psychology, and Metals. While seniors chose their favorite singing group there were many wide range of sounds: Foreigner, REO Speedwagon, AC DC, Journey, Jone Jette with her hit song I love Rock ' N Roll was one of the most favorite songs among the seniors. Jutebox Hero, and Freeze Frame were on the top of the chart too. These are just a few favorites that the senior class agreed upon.

The bell rings and everyone scrambles out of their desks and heads for the halls for the short five-minute break between classes. Would just this small amount of time be enough to stop and talk to friends, go to the restroom, and get a drink before the next bell would ring? Or, would it be enough time to go to your locker in the D-wing, get your books. and then run over to the science wing before the next bell? Students managed to find a variety of things to do in those few short minutes. Some stopped in the office or dropped off library books. Others visited lockers to drop off pounds of tex- tbooks. Of course, opening a locker top could be a traumatic experience itself For the third straight year, the junior class elected all girl officers. They are: Anna Tharp — Pres.; Kris Hart — V. Pres.; Shelley Heb- ble — Sec.; and Doris McAhren — Treas. Ryan Bultemeyer gets a surprise visit from the camera after a hard days work at school. Stacy Ortiz and Doris McAhren at- tentively watch the dual wrestling meet with Adams Central. Since most rarely opened when you needed them to. Those who were lucky may have found posters, streamers, cupcakes, cookies or a candy bar in their locker. Most students used the time to catch up on the latest gossip, like what ' s going on this weekend, who ' s dating who, what ' s for lunch today, the answers to the psych test, and what happened in Algebra II class. The traffic jams created problems by those who stop- ped to talk in the middle of the crowded hall blocking the traffic flow from D-wing to C-wing. Better run . . . there ' s the bell! 56— Juniors Anna Tharp shows her usual self, and her unusual talent of sticking out her tongue, as she poses for a quick picture.

Here We Come! ' 83 is just around the cor- ler and here we come. Only )ne more year be fore we get o turn our tassels and go out nto the world. 1983 is com- ng up fast. Are we ready? Has Bellmont prepared us veil enough, so far? As freshmen we were equired to take Basic Gram- nar, Communication Arts, .iterature, and Reading Writ- rig Workshop. Also we were equired to take one full year )f math, which most of us ful- illed as freshmen. Well, that ' ear ended with a breeze, vith most of us getting through the requirements. After our freshmen year, most of us took driver ' s edu- cation, during the summer, for which we were rewarded with one full credit. Next was the 1980-1981 school year, our sophomore year. As sophomores we were required to take Biology I and a full year of English, but the choices for the Eng- lish classes were ours, and the rest of our schedule was left to us to be filled. As we moved up in the rankings the next step was to be juniors. When we were juniors our requirements were history and a full year of English classes. In the spring of 1982, we made our senior schedules out and our requirements were a choice of psychology, economics, or sociology, and also a choice between gov- ernment and law, or govern- ment and politics. If we didn ' t take one year of foreign lan- guage then we would have to take another semester of English. As for many of the Class of 1983, they have found out the required courses were not as bad, as to knowing what to choose for the open spaces. First we had to think of our future plans for making the choices for our selection sheet. The class of 1983 will soon find out, that when it comes time to go out into the world and leave Bellmont High School, that the required classes we had to take and our choices we made in the past years, with the right effort has helped us out a lot!

Vhen the balloting was inished they decided on a artoon character. Each lass gathered people ogether and picked a car- oon character to base their float theme on. As it turned out the freshman class chose McDonaldland Characters, sophomores chose Sesame Street, juniors, Pepe-LaPue and seniors took Snoopy to represent their float. Many long, hard hours were spent each day, work- ing, and making last minute details in preparation for the deadline of October 9. The juniors started early in September, working three or four hours a day in Kris Hart ' s garage. A lot of paint, cardboard, cotton balls, and chicken wire were used in constructing the float. The floats were then entered into the parade by the October deadline. As it turned out the freshmen placed first, sophomores- second, juniors —third and seniors —last. The junior float was then entered into the Halloween parade. When the judging was completed, the juniors then placed second.

What makes you laugh? Could it be the funny joke your best friend told you, could it have been something funny you saw in the halls. What ever it is, laughing can strike at any time. You could be sitting quietly in an English class when all of a sudden you can ' t hold it any more, you start laughing and you can ' t stop.

It seems like a con- tinuous cycle. As soon as you cool down from the incident before, it seems as though it starts right back up again for no reason at all. Laughing can also be con- tagious. Your friend could be laughing at something funny and he or she could look so weird that you have to start laughing at them. And it goes Many kids have their own reasons for cracking up, but no matter what it is keep on flashing those smiles! 62— Juniors y ,; Katharine Shrader Todd Simerman - f James Singleton Scott Singleton Curtis Smith Darrick Snyder Debra Snyder Doreen Snyder Linda Sowards Eric Stockman Dawn Stoppenhagen Amy Stout Scott Strickler Rina Stuck Judith Sullivan Ken Swales Anna Tharp Andrew Thieme David Thieme John Thomas Larry Uhrick Ed Vergara Stephen Vergara John Vincenyo Carrie Voglewede Holly Voirol Angela Wheeler Darrin Whisman Dennis Whisman Kathleen Whitacre Caria Wilder Roger Wilder Linda Williams Michael Williams Janalee Witte Keith Young Juniors — 63 Biology I, A Learning Experience Biology, yuck what a bor- ing subject, as every sophomore thought when they were required to take it. But these people found out different. Biology was just one of those subjects you had to take to enjoy. Where else but in Biology I class could you learn about the parts of a grasshopper, learn how to make a bug and leaf collection, and where else could you get the pleasure of dissecting a pig? Answer, no where but in Bio class. Everyday you could go into that room and know you were going to learn something. For example H O is water and NaCI is salt. But no matter what you learned, it had to be something new. So advice to the upcoming Bio students, don ' t say you don ' t like it until you try it!

It means as one student put it, finally not having to ask your parents or older brother or sister to take you to a party, school function or an annual event. It finally meant hav- ing all your friends together and jam-packed into your lit- tle Maverick.

But getting your license can also have some bad points too. It seems as though, since you were the only one with your license in your group of friends that you are always having to drive the gang around. When you start out the even- ing, the gas tank is full and when you come home it ' s empty. And to top it off none of them forked over or even offered to give you money for gas. So out comes $20 from your pocket to fill the gas tank. Also if you have your license you have to be wor- ried about not having a wreck because if you do, up go the insurance rates, and your Mom or Dad takes away your wheels for the time be- ing, and then you can ' t go anywhere because no one can drive.

That was a frequent cheer :hanted by the sophomore Diass at pep sessions and games. The sophomores were try- ing to prove one thing, that they were louder, bigger, and more enthusiastic than the other classes. Cheers filled the gym- nasium as the classes battl- ed it out to see who would get the spirit stick. The deci- sion was made and it was the seniors. It seemed no matter how hard and loud the cheers were, the seniors always came out the winners. As the end to the pep session came to a close, it seemed as though the sophomore class was running out of time and luck. The time came for the sophs to give it all they had, to get their rowdiest, and to beat the seniors, and the last January pep session was it. Their looks and faces were meaner than ever, the pyramids were fantastic, and the cheers were enormous. Screams and cheers filled the gym as everyone became hoarse, trying to show they had more spirit, as the hour long pep session finally drew to a close. The crowd ' s noise lowered. The decision was made, and the winners were the sophomores! The sophomore class show they have the most spirit, as they ha« just disobvered they won the spirn stick.

You couldn ' t blame us for Deing there. After an exciting reshman year, getting to now more people and learn- ng how things operate around Bellmont, the next step was being a sophomore. Just think we were 3tuck-in-t he-middle. We couldn ' t be considered as upperclassmen, like uniors and seniors because ve couldn ' t get involved in :heir many activities such as Junior-Senior Powder-Puff game, or Junior-Senior Prom. We also couldn ' t be called underclassmen either, because we weren ' t being picked on as much and we didn ' t have to take required courses like freshmen. So there we were, what did we do? First of all we started by making the best of everything at Bellmont. We also got involved in more ac- tivities, we studied harder, and we always smiled with our friends. We ' ve made it through and it wasn ' t so bad.

Although there had been tours of the building the previous spring, along with freshnnan Parents Night and of course, the orientation along with registration in August, most freshman were still apprehensive the first day. Fears of going into the wrong classroom, looking lost in the hall or taking the wrong bus home was enough to give anyone the nervous jitters. The class of ' 85 rallied their efforts as they captured first place in the homecom- ing float competition, a first ever at Bellmont. Homecom- ing attendant was Kerrie Lingenfelter escorted by Toney Bergman. Class spon- sors were Mrs. Barb Baker and Mrs. Gail Stoner. As the early weeks of school passed, the freshman elected council represen- tatives, class officers andll cheerleaders. | The first pep session of the year, the freshman showed just how much spirit they had by sitting together and show- ing their strength. Yet the up- perclassmen wasted spirit by booing the freshman down. The freshman class homecoming float was based on the McDonald theme Nobody can do it like the Braves can. Freshman class officers were: Kelly jk Mansfield, treasurer; Troy Helmrich.  president; and Julie Williamson, j secretary. 72 — Freshman Sheryl Adams Benjamin Aguilar Elizabeth Ainsworth Jerry Allen Mariano Atienzo Jr. Jeffrey Atkinson Tammy Augsburger Jodi Bailer Mark Baker Janet Balliet Ronald Bargy Leslie Barker Kendra Baumgartner Linda Becker Jofin Beery Toney Bergman Lisa Bieberich Holly Bohnke Rita Bohnke Anthony Bowman Anthony Brandt Ryan Braun Dave Brite Jeffrey Brite Deanna Brown Steve Buescher Sara Burk Laura Bush Jana Busick Daniel Call David Callow Ricardo Canales James Carpenter Toni Carpenter Melissa Case Timothy Case John Cerna Joyce Clark Vernon Clark Troy Clem Randy Colclasure Deborah Cole Mark Conrad Michael Conrad Myra Conrad Christina Converset Kristine Cornish Lusio Covarrubias Freshmen— 73 Freshman — Proud to Be the Class of ' 85 Where did so many freshmen come from? There were approximately 137 of the new faces from Bellmont Junior High, while there were 56 from St. Joseph, 10 from Wyneken, 8 from Zion and 13 from St. Peter. Also, several new students entered from the surrounding areas.

The class will spend the next four years together learning, growing, and ex- periencing all they can about high school life. They enjoyed the thrill of winning a football game or suffered the defeat of losing in basketball. They showed the up- perclassmen in both boys and girls track who could really hustle through the practices. Many people found new friends and sought new responsibilities. They will go through their four fabulous years of high school with each other but upon graduation, will divide and all go their own ways. The memories established at Bellmont, were made from the good times and the bad. It ' s hard to depart from here but in our minds and hearts we will cherish B.H.S. always. 74 — Freshmen Taking it easy during study hall are freshmen Kelly Mansfield, Kerrle Lingenfelter, and Jana Busick.

During a pep session, the freshmen hpir power thriitigh cheers of Here we are as freshmen, starting all over again at a new school. We were pushed around In the halls and put down by the upperclassmen. The teachers couldn ' t match our faces with our names, we were splattered by food in lunch, and are last to class because we can ' t get past the senior in front of us. We also had required courses this year. We had one semester of gym and the other of Health. In English we had to take two full semester courses which included: Communication Arts; Basic Grammar; Reading, Writing, Workshop, and Literature. We were also required one year of math which could have been General Math, In- tro to Algebra, Algebra I, or Algebra II or Geometry if you had Algebra I in Junior High. The never ending hustle bustle of B.H.S. added ex- citement to each freshman ' s life as they endured their first year of high school.

Each year the freshman class has to make the big adjust- ment from junior high to high school, and each year they find difficulties doing it. The biggest adjustments were the larger class sizes, the huge size of the school building, more freedom, and so many strangers. Some students had a few conflicts with their parents about just how much freedom they would be allowed. Everyone was faced with new teachers and more responsibilities placed upon them. Freshmen also found themselves attending more athletic contests at which they helped with spirit. As one freshman put it, It ' s fun to be involved and yell my head off, and go crazy. Then off to Pizza King, Pizza Hut, or McDonald ' s after the game. The year was summed up by many as being great, but then, anything was better than Junior High. 78— Freshman Luke Sefton Darrin Selking David Shaffer Deena Shaneyfelt Todd Shelton CelindaSilva Kevin Simons Janeen Smith Robin Springer Richard St. John Jeffery Steele April Stevens ■ Machelle Stout Thomas Stout Anthony Strickler Jodi SvKales Diana Swenski Patrick Teeple Kimberly Thieme Edward Thomas Tina Townsend Thomas Trentadue Jerry Uhrick Katherine Uhrick Kerry Vanhorn Lee Vergara Douglas Vieth Pompy Vincenyo Cathy Voglewede Nancy Voglewede Paul Voglewede Robert Walters Jack Weldy Jim Wellman Jonette Whitman Jodi Whittenbarger Janet Wilder Darren Williams David Williams Julie Williamson Gregory Witte Billy Wolfe James Wroblewski Diane Yocum Freshmen — 79 Mrs. Singleton Retires From Staff After 15 years as the school ' s extracurricular sec- retary, Mrs. Betty Singleton retired in July from her duties at Bellmont. Mrs. Singleton began at B.H.S. as an aide for 2 ' 2 years before moving into the extracurricular secretary position which consisted of bookkeeping, typing, and the myriad duties connected with a treasurers job. She has worked under two principals during this time, Mr. Zerkel and Mr. Bittner. The hobbies Mrs. Single- ton enjoys include crossword puzzles, cooking, writing poetry, enjoying her grand- children, but prefers reading. After retiring, she plans to do all of these plus walking, vis- iting, crafts, and whatever each day brings. Mrs. Singleton has many memories of her years at B.H.S. She has participated in a dozen or more plays. She especially remembers the first one that opened in the Bellmont auditorium. The name of that play was Time out for Ginger. She has also been very lucky in contests winning prizes ranging from a record album, household appliances, jewelry, to brand new car. Thinking back on her years at Bellmont she will always treasure the warm friend- ships encountered along the way. During 08 lunch mod Mr. Boyle hands out report cards to the sopho- mores.

There are not early as many teachers as tudents, yet somehow jachers have that special 3uch to keeping everything nder control. After school hours ended 3r the day and the students ' ere home doing their omework, the teachers were still busy working. There were tests to be grad- ed, preparation of assignments for the next day and the never ending job of thinking up new ways to make their classes exciting for students. Teachers are people with a lot of patience and understanding. Most teachers had ex- tracurricular activities too. Many offered their assistance in coaching suc- cessful teams, while the art teacher decorated the com- mons area and put out art displays made by the students. Also in the D.E. classes, Mrs. Brock spent some of her spare time tak- ing students to compete in business competitions. Class sponsors gave up their evenings for float con- struction, meetings for prom and working on the construc- tion of prom. When the three o ' clock bell rang every day it wasn ' t always time for all of us to go home. After a hard days work in the office Mrs. Logan gives a grin of relief.

The cooks were at work bright and early daily before most students were even out of bed, preparing the lunch tor the day. Even on weather delay days the cooks were busy at work by 7 a.m. When school was cancelled, they had the task of revising menus and storing the unused food. The secretaries added to the success and efficiency of our school by keeping track of grades, attendance records, telephone calls and money from extracurricular activities. They also aided visitors with directions and information about our build- ing.

The two classes were taught by Mr. Kent Arnold and Mr. John Binkley. The school system also purchased six TRS-80 com- puter terminals from Radio Shack under Title 4-C. The system also purchas- ed a computer terminal to use for class scheduling pur- poses in the Guidance Department to help eliminate scheduling problems and errors. The administraton also devised and put into effect the Attitude Adjustment Room for disciplinary pur- poses at the high school and junior high levels. Students with excessive tardies or absences or other type of behavior problems spent time in the A A room as op- posed to out-of-school suspensions. The belt was tight once again as the financially troubled public schools felt the lack of funds in staff and program cutbacks. A fund was established ati BHS to pay for a wooden statue of a brave to be carv- ed for the commons area. The year also saw the end of mini-courses at BHS as all English courses were ex- panded to semester classes. Mr. Eugene Kiess ended his third four-year term on the school board and Mr. Larry Reinking ended his first four-year term. Both terms ended June 30.

My term paper is due tomorrow and I haven ' t started to type it yet! I just can ' t get up in front of e veryone and give thiis speech! Most students have been in one of these situations and probably screamed ' I hate school! Academics was the way of preparing us for our future. Learning the basics was im- portant to everyone. In today ' s economy with jobs hard to find, an educa- tion is extremely important. More students are choosing to further their education in- stead of working after high school. Bellmont prepared many students with its 11 academic departments. Students were also given special projects to help in- crease their knowledge. In government a mock Kent State trial was staged. In health class they had to do a video interview. They also visited the McMillen Health Center in Ft. Wayne. Human Development classes worked on Project 1990 where they planned their future. Because of the bad weather and many school days cancelled, the number of field trips was decreased during the second semester. There were many tem- porary teachers this year as several faculty members were on leaves. A change was made in the English Department. The nine-week mini-courses were changed into combined semester courses. For the upperclassmen this proved to be a problem in making out their schedules. However, for the underclassmen. It proved helpful in planning their classes. Even though we probably have disliked academics at one time or another, high school was one of the most helpful and memorable times of our life. 88 — Academics Division n ., J ? 5f t ' 3)?

For many Bellmont students, high school is but a stepping stone to a higher level of learning, since the next step for many is college. In September, ninety Bell- mont students attended Col- lege Night in the commons area at Bellmont High School. The annual affair, under the direction of Mrs. Worthman, senior guidance counselor, was open to all Adams County students. The purpose of the event w as to give interested students the chance to ex- plore the requirements and opportunities available at the college level of study. This was the fifteenth year for the event at Bellmont High School. Thirty-one col- leges, universities and private schools were represented. Also available was information of the various branches of Armed Services. Senior Lisa Casselman checl s out the opportunities offered at Hun- tington College with the college representative. Junior Laura Aumann and Ken Sauers check out Rose Hulman In- stitute for a possible career in agricultural drafting. Senior Janice Geels is in deep thought about leaving Bellnnont High School and the excitement of atten- ding Indiana University.

Unfortunate- ly, everyone still has to get down to the basics in order to receive a diploma ... re- quired courses. Six credits were necessary in English. Fortunately, there were variations offe red. Freshman were required to take four nine-week classes: Communication Arts, Literature, Basic Grammar and Reading Writing Workshop. Sophomores had to take two semesters, selec- ting from the most popular ones Basic Comp, Exploring Films, Beginning Spelling and Group Discussion. fVlany students took four complete years of English to prepare them for college. Freshmen were required to take a semester of Health and Safety and physical education. The health students traveled to Fort Wayne to visit the Mcfvliilen Health Center facilities and learned the techniques of CPR from local EMT ' s and studied good nutrition habits. I 92 — Academics Academics — 93 Required Classes Offer A Variety of Choices On the brighter side of the basic required classes was gym. Two semesters were re- quired. The two biggest com- plaints abo ut gym classs were having to change your clothes and getting sweaty. Studying about our forefathers was also man- datory. Students studied the presidents and their lives, all the wars of the world, and the 50 states and their capitals in U.S. History. All seniors were required to take a semester of psychology or sociology and a semester of government. A Law Day trial staged by local attorneys was presented to the seniors. Passing biology was the major concern for sophomores. It was a hard subject for most students because of all the technical terms involved. Most girls had a hard time when it came to the dissecting of worms. The labs were filled with modern equipment to aid students. Only one year is re- quired, but several continue on as an elective by choice. Math was another troublesome area for many students. One full year of math was required. Students could select from General Math, Introductory Algebra or Algebra I. But due to col- lege entrance requirements, students usually continued on with their math. Sophomores Tim Davis, Carolyn Case and Dawn Harrison learn to use the microscopes as they study specimens in biology.

When the snow and ice began to melt and as spring approached, it was that time of the year which many students dreaded . . . time to mal e out next year ' s class schedules. HELP! There were certain classes that had to be taken to graduate. Those were the easy part. Then there were the so-called electives which could range from weight training to research writing. Bellmont offered a variety of classes so students could explore the areas of study they were interested in. Decisions. Decisions. There were a wide range of choices in the English Department. There were op- portunities to study modern literature, spelling, films, and to improve your public speaking habits. Seniors learned the procedure of constructing a term paper, complete with notecards, rough drafts, footnotes and 10 typed pages when com- pleted in Grammar Review and Research Writing. Foreign Language, a popular elective, gave students the chance to develop the art of speaking a different tongue. But selec- ting which one could be a big problem . . . German, Spanish, French, Latin, etc. There was a wide range of practical courses to select from in Home Economics. Students in Human Develop- ment worked on project 1990 where they gave their projections of where and what they would be doing in 1990 and they had to establish budgets to mee their needs. Others observei nursery school students ii Child Development classes.

Everyone could benefit from typing skills, whether it was typing term papers or for a secretarial job. There was also shorthand, bookkeeping and family budgeting to gain other needed skills. Rebuilding an engine or making a set of bookshelves could only be done in the In- dustrial Arts Department. Ar- chitectural drafting students designed houses complete with cost estimates, wall sec- tion plans and electrical and plumbing blueprints. Weight training gave students the opportunity to correctly condition the body, and to improve their physi- que at the seven training stations. Performances became a common occurrence for those in Brave Generation as the group of 28 students per- formed at many community churches and meetings throughout the year. Then there was drivers ed . . . that long-awaited dream finally coming true. Finally being able to take over the wheel. It was definitely a summer to remember. The Media Center was the place to go if you needed to compile material for a research paper, a book for a book report, or to see a film for extra credit in physics. The library was also the place to find the right book for your reading enjoyment. Staff members aided students in the reference room searching for facts in magazines and the vertical file. Luckily for everyone, Bell- mont offered a variety of courses to explore. So many choices to make and so little time to take all the electives you are in- terested in taking. The list of electives added up to be quite a total. And there were several others of- fered that have not even been mentioned such as journalism, photography, ad- vanced classes in the field of math and science. Whether it was studying fruit flies in Biology II or nuclear energy in Chemistry II, the best guidelines to follow were requirements for college and the future.

A computer, of course. With the purchase of several small computers, students had yet another door opened in gaining skills for future goals. The reason for purchasing the computers was that graduates were not getting exposure or training with computers in high school. The graduates felt that such an opportunity would help them in college courses and acquiring jobs after high school. The use of computers helped to further the students in math and business courses. Students in Office Pro- cedures and COE classes. Algebra II and Record Keep- ing classes all learned the procedure of basic computer programming. A few students worked with the computers as independent study projects. Approximately 50 teachers and staff members were enrolled in a computer class offered at the beginning of the second semester to learn their basic use. Principal Ron Bittner had been interested in obtaining computers for several years. Last year a need assess- ment survey was taken among students and faculty members with 65 percent of the students expressing an interest in computer studies. The funding for the com- puters came from Title 4-C. Calculators had an unbelievable number of uses in school. They were quite handy in Chemistry to figure the number of atoms that decay in a given half-life, or in Trig class to determine trigonometric functions or in Algebra II to calculate square roots. Ivly how computers have affected our lives. Everything is being com- puterized. . .schedules, report cards, class lists, and transcripts are all done by computers. Not only were computers informative but they were fun too. They could even talk to you and sometimes even told a joke.

Experience. To be a good worker you had to have experience. At Bellmont High School many students participated in programs such as DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America), ICT (Industrial Cooperative Training), and COE (Cooperative Office Educa- tion). These programs gave the students the experience they needed to be successful in their jobs of the future. DECA students such as Tammy Irwin and Cheri t cDougall worked at Brooks, Julie Lengrich work- ed at Gass ' s, Penny Grote at Jani Lyn, and at the Scott ' s store Tony Custer took part in the program. In the ICT program it was more of a training program. Laura Aumann worked as a draftsperson at Dolco. Neil Knous worked as a cook at fWlcDonald ' s restaurant. Other students worked doing such things as farming, and working at other restaurants. COE workers worked in different business offices do- ing typing, filing and answer- ing the phone. Industrial Park had a few students. At Decatur Industries Hiedi Hakes was a secretary, and Laura Gunsett worked at Central Soya. Deb Krueckeberg worked as a secretary at Schneph Realtors. Many of the students acquired a lot of knowledge dealing with dif- ferent types of jobs. They learned how to work with people and it gave students their connection to the work force. . Julie Lengerich is recognized for receiving a $400 DECA Scholarship. She plans to attend Indiana-Purdue. Ft. Wayne, to study to be a dental assistant.

At Bellmont, the process of learning didn ' t stop at 2:45. After school time was filled with organization activities. Various organizations gave students a chance to learn and grow by identifying and relating with other peo- ple. But students were not the only people involved; many teachers volunteered their time to sponsor the clubs. In this way, students got better acquainted with the teachers and realized that the teachers were peo- ple too. The year found the clubs doing many different ac- tivities. The Science club took a trip to the Ohio Caverns. The Sunshine Society had a Christmas par- ty for little children, even Santa and his elves were there to hand out presents. The French club had a costume Halloween party. Quill and Scroll had a Christmas exchange and ate at Pizza Hut. The German Club held their annual Oktoberfest at the home of Marty and Laura Auman. The Student Council sponsored many dances including Homecoming, had a leader- ship conference, and also bought shrubs to add to the landscape of the building. Yes, organizations did play a big part in the lives of BHS students and the faculty. But the time and effort certainly was worth it because of the experiences gained in learn- ing to deal with and unders- tand others. And it also helped us to learn more about ourselves and ex- perience the world around us. 106 — Organizations Division yf Mr. Kaough and Eric Burk go over a Tonya Leisk paints a French flag on j part of tfie script for the play Hello Rochelle Gephart ' s face for initiation nto French Club. Organizations Division— 107 Council Has Five Dances This Year What was there to do in Decatur on a Friday night with no ballgame? The Stu- dent Council helped solve this problem as they spon- sored five dances for Bell- mont students throughout the school year. The dances were a relatively inexpensive form of good entertainment and the Student Council enjoyed preparing them as much as the students did attending them. For the second year in a row, Student Council members sold candy bars for their fund-raising project. $100 was donated to the library to purchase 77 paper- back books about teenagers and for teenagers that students had been asking for. Some of the extra money was used to buy the Student Council members sweat- shirts as a reward for all their hard work and devotion dur- ing the year. A leadership day wai organized by the Senloi Council members. It wai held on April 21 at schoc with new Student Counc members, 8th graders, an( representatives from Iocs high schools attending. Thi students learned such thing; as how to be good leader; and promote school spirit. The council ' s most impor tant project this year was t( organize Homecoming Members organized thf parade, planned games suci as a jello-eating contest an(, marshmallow-stuffing con ' test and made sure ever;!

No one really likes to practice but that is another word the band and drill team members heard over and over from PRACTICE your marching to don ' t forget to PRACTICE your routine. Along with practicing, this year was a year of learning for the band and drill team as they put together their field show in a matter of a few weeks before they perform- ed at the Norwell Invitational, finishing fourth. The Band of Braves also marched in the Bluffton Street Fair parade placing fourth, finished second at the Banks on the Wabash Com- petition, but did not quite catch the judges eyes at the Homestead Fall Festival of Bands. The drill team members performed at several home basketball games along with feature twirler Karen Lister under the direction of Miss Janice Reynolds. On October 25th, the Jazz Band contributed to the community ' s Callithumpian week by sponsoring their own Jazz Concert. Three flutes, two guitars, a banjo, and a mandolin player made up the Robber Bridegroom Town Band Nineten instruments made up the pit orchestra for the spring play Hello Dolly. The long hard hours of practicing, going to competi- tions and meeting new peo- ple seemed to pay off because of the memories that will always be remembered. 1 il li Shown keeping the beat alive is the percussion section at the Bluffton Competition. Pep Block Creates School Spirit RED, WHITE and BLUE. . . the school colors, went hand in hand with spirit as students supported the various groups competing. Wear your school color days were popular as the students decked themselves in the popular colors. The cheerleaders sold pep block shirts in the navy and white baseball style to create more school spirit during the winter sports season. Mrs. DesJean and Mrs. Johnson were the sponsors. The pep block cheered at home and away basketball games and other athletic functions. School spirit seemed to be the conversa- tion of the year, however, the pep block closed the basket- ball season with high spirits as they joined arms for a Rock-n-Roll victory line after a big win over NEIAC rival DeKalb. The senior class proved to have the most spirit as they came through at pep ses- sions winning the spirit stick five times. The sophomore class proved that they could out yell the seniors as they won the spirit stick the other time. Being booed at pep sessions was just one of the hassles freshmen must go through, and this year was no exception as the freshmen were booed but still showed their spirit. The B-Club held their an- nual fall, winter and spring desserts honoring all athletes. All athletes had to earn at least one varsity letter. 112— PepClub B-Club Jenny Hakes.

LeAnn Geels and Marty Xumann were selected by he club to be candidates for he Callithumpian Queen and ing contest. In October an Oktoberfest vas held at the home of a ;lub member for all German students. There was a bon- ire and games were played. On December 22, the Ger- Tian Club went caroling and lad a Christmas party and jift exchange. In the spring, they put 10 sophomore German students through an initia- ion to become members of he German Club. The Latin Club officers at- tended a workshop at Mun- cie North High School on Oc- tober 3. Latin students had several morning meetings at which they fixed breakfast and played games. The boys did the cooking at the Christmas party and then the club went caroling at several Decatur homes. On December 3, the Latin classes had a field trip to Ball State University for the an- nual Latin Day. The students took tests, watched plays, competed in contests, and attended lectures during the day. The Latin Club had their initiation and banquet in the spring. Awards were passed out to the outstanding Latin students. German Club member Suzanne Hal es practices crowning the King of the Sadie Hawl ins Dance on LeAnn Geels.

For some reason this just doesn ' t seem to make sense. But, with help of any Spanish or French Club member they would have told you that those words meant: Hi, yes, and one, two, three. The Spanish and French Club members knew there was more to their foreign languages than learning vocabulary words, as this year both the Spanish and French Clubs were in full action. The French Club held their new member initiation in March. They also sponsored the Sadie Hawkins dance in April along with the German Club. The Spanish Club and new sponsor Mr. Ken Kauffman held their initiation in the commons in December with a Pinata Party. The French Club celebrated Christmas with a party at Mary Anne Moore ' s home. A fun filled evening of French foods and building pyramids followed. If you were ever down in the English wing during the first two periods and smelled Mexican food it was pro- bably Mr. Kauffman ' s Spanish III and IV classes a!| cultural days were observec ' with the making of paella; tacos, nachos, taco salads elephant ears, a Spanisf breakfast and many othe Mexican dishes throughou the year.

In September the annual Rockathon was held in the choir room with each B.G. member in a rocking chair rocking to music for 24 hours. The school year ended with their award banquet in the recognition of all members and crew. Each member received an award. The Freshmen and Con- cert choirs had several per- formances, one being the an- nual Pops Concert.

After attending Ball State University for a yearbook shop, Editors-in-Chief, Judy Banning and LInette Becker made sure that everything was done to perfection. At Ball State they learned about the new ways to design year- book layouts, writing cap- tions and copy, yearbook theme, and page organiza- tion. Also attending workshops at Ball State were BRAVE TALK Editor-in-Chief LeAnn Helmrich and photographer Terri Kohne. LeAnn studied the structure of the staff, writing editorials, and page layout. Two things Terri brought back to the staff were how to take better pic- tures and darkroom techni- ques. BRAVE TALK had a slightly different look this year as Athlete of the Week and News Briefs were added to every issue. The Athlete of the Week recognized outstanding play- ers from every male and female sport. News Briefs provided students with important information rang- ing from deadlines for schol- arships to the date of the next baseball game. To defer the cost of printing the paper, the BRAVE TALK staff sold Bellmont license plates to students and adult fans. The four photographers kept busy by taking more than 4000 pictures of club parties, sporting events, and award banquets. During class they developed the film and printed pictures for the yearbook and newspaper members. It wasn ' t all work and no play for these people, though, as a Christmas party and gift exchange was held for the combined staffs. Everyone celebrated in their own way at the end of the year when the last pages were mailed and on their way to the printer. 1982 BRAVE TALK Staff— Front Row: S. Walters. B, Webster, L. Helmrich. D.

The curtains opened and the student presentation of Hello Dolly was finally underway, with a pleased look and a sigh of relief from director Mr. Tom Kaough. The Drama Club presented the Robber BrideGroom in November and Hello Dolly in early April. Six nights of perfor- mances, 155 hours and 5 months of practice equals just some of the time spent on both of the plays. This did not include the lighting, stage and costume crew who without them, it would have been hard to produce either play. A lot of time and hard work went into making these plays a success by each member of the crews and club. Mr. Kaough was in charge of the dramatic acting with Miss Reynolds in charge of choreography; Mrs. Doonan and Mr. Reasoner were in charge of the musical aspects. It was the last perfor- mance, and the last note was sung, the curtains closed and each member of the cast rushed to the dressing room to get ready for the cast par- ty. The costumes were put away and the stage crew tore down the set. The B.H.S. Drama Club could relax as another play came to an end. Let the sun shine in, was exactly what the Sunshine Society did, with a year full of activities. The annul Ideal Ladies Dessert was held in May, along with the revealing their favorite lady after doing a good deed for her each month. The Sunshine Society of- ficers added three new ac- tivities to the calendar of events this year. The Ma, Pa, and Me dinner was held in the early part of Novembe as each girl and her parent met in the commons for sup per and a night filled with fun In December, tht Christmas party was held I the commons as each gi brought a child. The nigf was a fun filled evening wit cartoons and a visit fror Santa Claus and two elve Jingle and Jangle . In March Secret Pal wee was observed with each gi picking a name and doing favor for them each day dui ing the week. The sun shined as the Sur shine Society had a real e citing and fun year.

Sunshine Drama— 129 e © Take a Closer Look The awesome Bellmont defense an- nihilates an East Noble opponent to force a fumble. Whether we were in the stands, on the bench, or playing in the game, sports were an important part of school life. To some of us, sports was our favorite section of the newspaper, a part of TV news, or the last thing Mr. Hooplngarner talked about on the announcements. To others, sports was the thing that made them proud to say, We ' re from Bellmont . TAKE A CLOSER LOOK at why we were proud. The freshman football team had a record 6-0 season. They pounced their opponents by 143-18 in total points. Greg Kable, John Cowans, and Todd Cowans earned All-Conference honors for football. The volleyball team won 11 straight meets until the final round of sectional. Jim Smith advanced to regional for the tennis team. B. J. Faurote placed fourth in the state wrestling meet. The girls ' swim team established three new records. Divers Barb Lichtle, Quan Vu, and Phil Smith were state participants in the swimming and diving meet. In Cross Country, Linda Keuneke set a school record in the 3000 meter race. Ken Swales set a new school record in the 5000 meter race. The boys ' varsity basket- ball team made it to the semifinal round of sectional before being beaten by the sectional champs — Southern Wells. The athletes also had to abide by the new athletic code. The code spelled out all the training rules the athletes were to follow as well as the punishment for abuse of the rules which were stiffened. No matter what sport Bell- mont athletes participated in, they made us proud. 130— Sports Division  Janet Wilder and Sheri Adams race down to the wire with a Heritage opponent at a girls track meet.

Sports Division— 131 Harriers Advance to Regional Meet The 1981 Cross Country team was moving up this year as they tool a trip to the regional meet for the first time in Bellmont cross coun- try history. They placed sixth in the meet finishing behind five state ranked teams, missing a trip to Semi-State by only 14 points. Junior Ken Swales set a new school record in the 5,000 meter race in a time of 16:27 and three year veteran Linda Keuneke set the record in the 3,000 meter race with a time of 12:36. Linda is the only girl at Bellmont to endure cross country for three years. Senior Tom Hoffman and junior Ken Swales led the way for the harriers trading off one and two positions all year giving the team a lot of depth. The 1981 harriers won 80% of all their meets and 75% of their triangular meets, only being beaten all year by state ranked teams. Getting into shape and staying in shape was the goal all summer, run- ning in Marathon ' s and street races, running an average of six to seven miles a day before official practices started. For three years Coach Bauman has had a running camp at his house. They were! up each morning at 6:00 a.m. 1 to run 5 miles before break- fast, then ran again at 6:00 p.m. before supper. The harriers had an unusu- ally large team, due to the overwhelming number of freshmen. The freshmen will prove to be a threat as things look even better for the 1982 season.

Diver Barb Lichtle earned a ticket to the state meet with a third place finish at sectional. Steph Gross broke the 100 yard backstroke record with a time of 1:09.53, Wendy Schafer broke her own record in the 100 yard breaststroke with a time of 1:15.1. Julie Sallot, Tina Townsend, Lisa Wellman, and Gwen Haugk set a new record in the 400 freestyle relay with a time of 4:07.57.

In the fifth game the Braves bounced back to beat a tough Angola team, then Homestead and Columbia City. They then won the final tw o games to finish with a 6-4 record. The running game proved to be the key to the offense until late in the season when the passing began to work. Senior Matt Miller led all rushers with nearly 700 yards. Defensively, no team ran much against the Braves front 7. Five of these seven and nine other starters will return next year to what should be one of the best teams ever. Earning All-Con- ference were seniors Greg Kable and John Cowans and junior Todd Cowans. All- Conference second team memberships were earned by seniors Jeff Witte and Kevin Burkhalter.

Halfback Steve Roman cuts upfield for yardage against Bluffton. Not only did the freshmen record an unbeaten season at 6-0, they also pounced their opponents 143-18. This was the third straight year coach Al Lindahl ' s freshmen went unbeaten, but never has a freshmen team yielded such a defense. Led by Jerry Coyne and Toney Bergman, the fresh- man only gave up an average of 66.3 yards per game. No team had more than 73 yards in a single game. Offensively, the freshmen had a balanced attack with Tony Lytle passing for 200 yards and Mickey Freidt and Toney Bergman both rushing for over 400 yards each. This year ' s small J.V. team, coached by Dennis Hays and Jon Stevens, of 17 members earned a 3-5 record. Although the record does not show it, the JV ' s had a pow- erful offense scoring 124 points and were never shut out. . -T ' ■t !• JV Freshmen Football— 139 Squaws Comeback for a 18-12 Season By staging a miraculous comeback season, the girls volleyball team earned a share of the conference championship with Columbia City.

The Squaws, coached by Phyllis Hebble, were slowed in the final games of the sea- son as they lost senior Leann Geels to a knee injury. Leann won the honored mental atti- tude award. Junior Leesa Gross earned the spike award. The girls will lose 5 seniors but will have a lot of experience returning and tal- ented reserves for next year and will try to improve this year ' s mark of 18-12. This year ' s reserve team, consisting of many freshman, scored a near perfect year with an 11-2 mark. tjsM?: ' - ma u i ( iTi I n Reserve Volleyball Team — Front Row: Mgr. C- German, S. Hakes. D.

There was not as much depth this year as in past years, with only twelve people out for the sport. Jim Smith, the number one player, was the only member to advance to regional. The netters are usually at a disadvantage with their opponents due to the fact that some teams have the advantage of indoor tennis courts, giving them a yeara- round place to practice. The Braves are going to try and overcome this disadvantage with the 1982 season. The netmen are only losing four people to graduation, so they ' re not losing out for the 1982 upcoming season. ,: V n Senior Phil Smith looks down in dis- appointment after hitting the ball into the net.

After starting with a 1-6 record, they turned it around into eight con- secutive wins and went in- to the sectional winning 10 of 12 games. It was a disappointment in the end as the Squaws were defeated in the sectional in overtime, 55-53, by Norwell. Junior Leesa Gross was the top scorer for the Squaws with 10.6 points per game, shooting 46 percent from the field and 56 percent from the freethrow line.

Girls Track— 167 (23 Take a Closer Look The Decatur merchants provided many opportunities such as jobs for students. With rising costs of everything, the merchants of Decatur became an even more important part in the lives of BHS students. Thanks to many mer- chants students at Bellmont had jobs at which they could work to make money either to save for the future needs and dreams or to spend im- mediately on the latest record album or on a new shirt. But money was not the on- ly profit of having a job. Students gained experience in dealing with people on a daily basis. Also taking on responsibilities, and accep- ting them for what they are. The community also pro- vided actvities. During Callithumpian week there was the Great Pumpkin Race, the Cantor five mile race, a Halloween king and queen contest and the Hallo- ween parade itself. Decatur service organiza- tions provided monetary scholarships for graduates such as the Lions Club Grants, Adams County Medical Scholarships, and the Kiwanis Club scholarships. The community also pro- vided a day for students in ci- ty government, where students worked in govern- ment jobs such as mayor, police chief, and hospital administrator. But most of all, thank you for your contributions to us, which made this book possible. 11 168 — Ads Division The post office is a very busy place in Decatur.

That ' s what the cheerleaders of 81-82 were. Not ony did they cheer at games, but also took extra time and effort to do other things to show their support for the athletic teams and to inspire school spirit. Throughout the year the cheerleaders planned and held six pep sessions. These sessions varied in how they were organized. Sometimes the cheerleaders presented skits such as The Dating Game. Other times, the classes themselves were asked to organize skits, and once the faculty presented a skit based on General Hospital . The cheerleaders also made little signs to put on athletes lockers and they also made big signs for the hallways as an inspiration to the teams. When it came time for boys basketball sectional, the cheerleaders really came through. They came in early Trying out is just one of the first steps in becoming a ctieerleader.

As the school year came to an end we found ourselves asking the question, Where do we go from here? The freshmen, sopho- mores, and juniors, could look forward to coming back to Bellmont. As for the seniors, they could look for- ward to going to college or to working. The memories lingered on after we walked down the halls of Bellmont for the final time this year; the memories that would be with us for the rest of our lives. As 1981 slid into 1982 we found ourselves asking the same question, Where do we go from here? Tom Krueckeberg rests during the choir ' s Rock-A-Thon; just one of many choir activities.
