Coach Jim Hays completed his first year of coaching with a 7-0 conference record and advanced the 2 NEW STUDENTS TIE YEAR TOGETHER team to the IHSA state playoffs. The football season was highlighted when Steve Swaim crowned Jody Williams as the 1979 Home- coming Queen. Coach Missy Stone led the volleyball team to its third consecutive undefeated conference title. Both teams were fully supported by the students and the community. Because of the 1978 referendum, BHS now has a new agriculture and industrial arts building. It was completed in the spring and will benefit the students in the coming years. BHS saw many new faces this year including Gitte R. Madsen who was an exchange student from Denmark. She was an honorary graduate of the Senior Class, and was hosted by the Richard Thomas family. As new faces come, familiar faces go. After 25 years of teaching foreign language at Bement, Mrs. Virginia Dare retired. Her dedication and fine teaching skills will be remembered and missed by students and faculty alike. 3 STUDENTS BUCKLE DOWN AND LOOSEN UP School was not always a time for hard work; it was also a time for fun, for relaxing, and for being with friends. Although, sometimes having too much fun can get you into trouble, even the faculty and administration show their sense of humor with the students. The combination of work and fun makes school enjoyable. s 1 HAPPY FACES Despite the hard work and pressures of school, students and faculty still manage to keep smiling. They are happy if they're working in concession stands, building floats, taking PE, or just studying in study hall. Smiles can depict your personality along « 6 MAKE HAPPY FEET with the clothes you wear right down to your shoes. We chose the theme. Shoes, because we think that the different shoes people wear can reveal their personality. Shoes aren't just for comfort, or even looks, your shoes, like your smile, can become a vital part of your character. 7 FACULTY THERE IS NO SHOE LIKE AN OLD SHOE Orthopedics: As orthopedics help soothe your feet, the faculty and administration help comfort the students as educators and friends. The close relationship between the students and the faculty makes school a comfortable as an old shoe. 8 BOARD MEMBERS.

EXECUTIVES KEEP THINGS BUCKLED DOWN During the past year our administration has made some important changes. The school board spent many hours selecting a new superintendent for the district. They adopted new school policies; and the Agricultural and Industrial Arts Building was begun. The weather extremes posed problems for all the administrators-including school cancellation decisions and rescheduling sports events. Superintendent Thomas Kelley makes one of his many pnone calls. 10 Unit Treasurer Inez Crim knows her job well. Pat McCullough, Secretary, is ready to help you. High School Secretary Liz Bertsch gives everyone a smile. High School Principal, Tom Hensley, waits to make announcements.

Like your first pair of shoes, your years in high school are the most painful. Getting used to high school is like breaking in a new pair of shoes. But as time goes on, it becomes more com- fortable. Your beginning in high school, as your first few steps, can be one of your most memorable of learning experiences. 16 Kim is caught off guard by the staff photographer.

They're so comfortable. Especially when they are old and worn. But, we have to, somewhere along the way, throw them out and hunt for a new pair. Just like our senior year, it's really grand knowing this is our last, but when it comes down to the end, it's rather sad to leave behind such memories in search of something new. But, you'll always remember the way to go home. 28 JOHN ALLEN KATHY BATES PAT BEALS KIRK BECKER TINA BERNARD TOM BRITTENHAM JANET CAHILL RICK DODGE JANICE ECKSTEIN 30 JODI FANSLER JANET FENDLEY CAROLYN FLEMING TIM GALLAGHER JANICE GALLIVAN JEFF GALLIVAN ED GLENNON JOHN GLENNON LINDA GUFFEY 31 GARY HARVEY STEVE HENRY MIKE JAMISON TERESA JAY JIM JOHNSON JULIE KIRWAN ANDY KLEIN DEBRA LARIMORE RICHARD LARIMORE 32 JOHN McHALE BECKY MILLER GLORIA MITCHELL T STEVE SWAIM DAVID SYFERT KEVIN PHIPPS STEVE PRUITT JEFF ROBERTS KURT ROGERS ANGIE RUND LAURA SCHRAGE 33 1 ANGIE TAYLOR LORI THOMAS TAMI THOMPSON GARY WHITELY THERESA WHITESIDE LORI WILDMAN JODY WILLIAMS CARL ZETTLER TREA GANLEY BRIAN ASHBY (not pictured) 34 SELECT FEW WIN AWARDS AWARD WINNERS.

Important things are put on a platform as are the activities at BHS. Homecoming, Senior Play, and Prom are special events that require many hours of hard work until the final moment that they begin. Most students will remem- ber these activities throughout their lives, whether they took part in the planning or just went to enjoy. Everyday treads are kicked off and replaced by more elegant shoes for the special activities. 36 37 SPIRIT FILLS MISTY HOMECOMING The theme for homecoming was Misty. During Spirit Week, there were many activities. Each class saved pop cans for a week and then built a pyramid. The seniors won. Another day was specified as hat day. Cindy Guffey won with the craziest hat. And, last but not least, was Mr. Irresistible Day. On this day, girls bought paper lips for a time, and if a boy got the girl to speak to him, he got her lips. Chuck Price and Dana Foran tied with twenty-eight lips each. At Homecoming the crown bearer was Jason Shumard and train bearers were Natalie Sams and Tiffany Schnierle. Dave Spalding, Carol Bertsch, and Deb Cahill provided entertainment until the dance began, and the homecoming band Scheme took over.

And finally, the seniors won second with, Bulldogs have Jaws Too. Ruth Bales, Mark Harper, and Scott Gallivan think it's hard work to fix up a float.

This year's cast was made up of all seniors. Miss Sharp, director, enjoyed working with them and was eager to comment on the play. One of the nicest things about this cast was that they were able to keep the spirit of the play, its warmth and humanity. They proved themselves to be a very professional cast, and the production was one we all took great pride in. Jackie asks Jingo, Why not my bed?

IT'S HIGH HEELS AND FORMALS FOR HEAVEN TONIGHT The junior class selected Heaven Tonight as this year's Prom theme. The gym was decorated with black and silver, complete with it's own stairway leading to heaven. The band was Full-house. After-Prom was held at the Bement Bowl; Midwest Prarie League supplied the music. Scott Price asks the important question, What am I doing?

Hope is never lost—maybe, one day a deadline will be met with time to spare. It can be said that those who did their share will never forget the fun times. Editors Janet Fendley and Angie Rund work on their layout Carol Bertsch and Karla Fritz check their rough drafts. 51 1 BAND GETS IN STEP The marching band participated in the Tuscola Old-Fashioned Days Parade and the ISU Homecoming Parade. Their major projects included paper drives, the annual Spaghetti Supper and other sales which contributed to the fund for new uniforms.

MADRIGALS SING AND DANCE December 9, 1978, the chorus held its fifth annual Madrigal dinner. Over 160 people attended the festivities. The guests were served yeast rolls, figgy pudding, cheese, and hot wassail. There were sixteen singers and two jesters to entertain the guests. Mrs. Sampson thought the dinner was a big success. Janet Fendley sings Kurt Rogers a song. Ken Wimer and Cara Tiffin go for that high note. 55 SHOES TAP OUT BEAT FOR CHORUS MEMBERS This year's chorus was small, only fourteen members, and only two boys to carry the base and tenor sections. But they made up for their size by actively participating in three concerts—fall, Christmas, and spring. They also performed at the annual spaghetti supper and at graduation. Carol Bertsch, Carol Barnhart, and Dave Fuqua were chosen to represent our school in IMEA, a large chorus formed by selected students from neighboring schools. Several members also received either superior or excellent ratings at the IHSA Solo—Ensemble contest. They were: Carol Barnhart, Julie Cahill, Barbie Crupper, Janet Fendley, Dave Fuqua, Jan Johnson, Pam McNew, Dave Spalding, and Debbie Walsh. Chorus performs during spaghetti supper.

SPORTS JEEPERS CREEPERS WHERE'D YA GET THOSE SNEAKERS Sneakers. Sports play an important role in school. Most students wear sneakers at some time whether it be in basketball, volleyball, or P.E. class. Sneakers can sometimes be the only shoes people wear. Their total comfort can make anyone fall in love with their fit. There are many different styles and colors of sneakers; it would be hard to find two pairs exactly alike. Sometimes, throwing away your worn out sneakers can be one of the hardest things you'll have to do. 76 77 BULLDOGS RUN AWAY WITH TITLE The Bulldogs won the LOVC title beating every team in the LOVC before bowing to Catlin in state playoffs.

Nick Manalisay shows good format. 95 A cut-off system is an important part of a team, as shown by the Bulldogs. BOUNCIEST SHOES AROUND Ellen helps cheer on the crowd! The girls were very busy during the year. Not only with school and ball games but with lots of other activities as well. After the games the girls made cookies for the football players and cupcakes for the basketball players. They also prepared and put on many skits for pep rallies. During the snake dance the cheerleaders organized the bon fire at football field for the football boys. It was the last year for Becky Miller, Jody Williams, and JV Cheerleaders: Kim Auth, Karla Fritz, Nancy Fendley, Jan Johnson, and Theresa Bates. Becky helps with refreshments. 96 The boys get some energy before the big game. Janet Fendley, the senior cheerleaders. The girls got new sweaters and skirts too and they held cheerleader clinics as well. Even after school was finished for the summer, the girls worked on. They attended camp during the summer in Bloomington, Indiana. There, they learned new cheers, sidelines, chants, and even disco dancing. It was a lot of work, but the girls had a lot of fun doing it! Varsity CHEERLEADERS: Lori McDermith, Becky Miller, Jody Williams, Celine Karla, Kim, and Theresa have a bit of fun. McHale, and Ellen Walsh.
