No Spare Time! 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
