Junior Shannon Cheek has been caught in the act — smiling. On costume day during spirit week, seniors Tyna Deffenbaugh, Michelle Wilkinson, and Chris Warner masqueraded as the Three Blind Mice. Ponfruiit 'P’UcCe ?9XX l o£ccme 6 ScAao£ 20? 5 XZemevtt, 6JX 3 2 7-67X-X230 Out As school began, there was much excitement for the upcoming year. BHS students began setting goals, started practicing in volleyball, football and marching band for future games, and some students became either anxious or cheerful, waiting for the homecoming activities to start. Many students had goals to achieve; the freshmen picked out class rings and started new classes. The sophomores started to anticipate driving in Driver’s Ed. The juniors sold magazines for Prom, and the seniors visited colleges and filled out applications. The football team practiced hard in hopes of playing at state, and they received a lot of T.V. coverage in the process. Student council began to decide whether the theme would be Cinderella or Fairy Tales and whether there would be a clash clothes day for spirit week. Most students were setting goals for the year, and were planning to TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT. Freshman Shane Beebee treats all the football fans to a half-time show. Shane’s favorite pastime is imitating famous rock stars. Some students danced, some hid, but these choice few stood right in view on homecoming night. Although hazing has been outlawed at BHS, senior Todd Thomas still trys to “rough up” freshman Chuck Tabaka. Student council members Stephanie Jones and Tom Tracy dance finally, after spending their time decorating the gym for the homecoming coronation.

Mrs. Cathy Flood and Miss Donna Sharp have been together in the English Department for nineteen years. The English department includes the classes: Survey of Literature, American Literature, Novels, Oral and Written Communications, Journalism Photo-journalism, English Usage, Dramatic Literature, Advance Composition, Poetry, Drama, and Short Stories. A new addition was Journalism Photojournalism. Students who were enrolled in the class wrote for the Bark and worked on the yearbook. In Photojournalism the students learned how to take pictures, make layouts for the yearbook, developed film, and print pictures. They enjoyed the use of the darkroom that their teacher Merle Taylor set up. Junior Steve Porter stated “Photojournalism gives me a chance to use the camera and develop pictures which I didn’t know how to do before.” Another important class for college bound students was Advance Composition. Advance Composition was only offered for the Sen- cmcC iors. One very important assignment that was also very time consuming was the term paper Donna Sharp assigned. For this the students had to have ten to fifteen sources on their subject, thirty notecards, an outline, and the final draft which had to be ten typed pages. Senior Shannon Hayes said “the research that you do takes up most of your time, so get started on it as soon as she gives it.” Top: Todd Thomas is goofing off, as usual, while Tim Walsh tries to figure out what is going on.

Even though there is a small number of students taking French 3 4, they are some of the top students in this school. There was a change. Usually the French Club goes to Chicago to either a play or musical, but instead only French classes were allowed to go. They went to see a musical, then as usual to the art museum. Afterwards they ate at Le Bordeaux, a French restaurant. They had their choice of two different kinds of chicken or fish. Most of the students chose chicken in mushroom sauce. There was a good reaction to the dinner. Then, not breaking any tradition from past years, the students took a little time to do some shopping at the Water Tower in Chicago. All in all, the students enjoyed the trip to Chicago, and hope that they will be able to continue in future years. Junior Angie Phillips, who visited Europe last summer, said she takes French partly because she someday wants to return to France and be able to carry on a conversation. She also added “I hope to enrich my study habits when I go to college.” Top: Madame Gaigalas cracks a joke as usual. Middle: Cory Shumard enjoys the dinner at Le Bordeaux in Chicago. Bottom Left: David Hardwick writes on the board as Mrs. Gaigalas instructs him what to write.

I think I’m gonna get sick.” “Oh don’t be such a baby. You have to disect to pass.” “Maybe if I close my eyes I won’t have to look at it.” “How will you see the frog, Dummy?” “I don’t know.” A typical scene in the Biology room during the disect-ing chapter. The science classes: General Science, Biology, Chemistry I and Chemistry II, all taught by Thomas Hensley, covered such material as light, heat and energy to physics, organic chemistry and nuclear science, a class that is no doubt “UNLIMITED.” Math teachers John Wingle and Diane Benzek weren’t limited with what they covered in General Math, Practical math, Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and Advanced Math. “I think that the Math Department here at B.H.S. has prepared me well for college,” stated Lori Bowen, a fourth year math student. She added that, “I also believe that studying limits in Advanced Math (a weighted course) will help me in Calculus at college. Upper Right: Math teacher John Wingle furthers the sophomore’s education in Geometry, a second year math class, as Amy Moefield looks on.

Above: Freshmen Matt Shaeffer, Tara Wright, Tiffany Schnierle, Benji Lietz, and Theresa Martin take time out of Biology to enjoy a break in the action. 10 “The Science Department here is very interesting. In Chemistry I, we do a lot of experiments, which means getting out of doing classwork,” commented sophomore Kathy Hensley, daughter of science teacher Thomas Hensley. Many students feel they learn as much if not more in science than in other classes. “Biology is a fun class. I would have to say that disecting frogs was the best part, though,” stated Eric Jarboe, a sophomore. “Mr. Hensley is a really good teacher; he knows what he’s doing,” he added. Not only do science and math students learn about “school stuff,” but also about life and their future. That is something that the students, faculty and administration can be proud of: “Taking it to the Limits.” Upper Left: Senior Sandy Woolley, Chemistry II student, impatiently waits for her gelatin solution to corode for her peanut-brittle experiment before Christmas vacation.

This is what goes through a nervous student’s head who is trying to pass the U.S. Constitution test in Government class. Doing worksheets, taking plenty of notes, and listening to American History teacher Kent Lefever say, “Quiet down PLEASE”, are all things to remember about History classes. “I really enjoy history classes because I’m interested in things like World War I and II and the Vietnam War”, said Junior Eric Zoch. “I also enjoy Mr. Lefever’s sense of humor during class, it really makes class more interesting and makes it go quicker”, stated Zoch. Mr. Arsman’s Illinois History class is the only social science class not taught by Mr. Lefever. Upper Right: Illinois History students Kim Nelsen and Matt Scheffer are anxious for summer.

Striving for perfection and doing your best is what Business Education teacher Merle Taylor expects. Syntax errors and out of data errors were unheard of a few years ago, but now are common occur-ances in Data Processing classes. “I really enjoy working with computers and love the challenge of working out the programs”, said Advanced Data Processing student Jon Lewis. Accounting class seems to be on a upswing also. “Most people in Accounting want to be there, so it is an enjoyable class to teach, time consuming for the student but rewarding when they finish their projects”, stated Taylor. Doing your best and striving for perfection will always make Taylor happy and satisfied.

Ashley remarks that she was really impressed with the talent she found in Art III and IV when she came to Bement. Karen Wilkinson and Mark York keep their hectic schedules more hectic with practices galore. Wilkinson spends some of early morning hours practicing with the Show Choir — a group of dedicated youngsters. Four bands rolled into one provide Director Mark York with enough to keep his schedule from slowing down. If it is not marching, concert, or jazz, it’s pep! York applauded the quality of the high school’s performance as the students, too, maintain a heavy schedule. Upper Right: Vocal music is Karen Wilkinson’s specialty, but keyboards also let her talents shine. Middle Left: Freshman Jason Cripe practices his technique for that professional look.

Home Economics has gone beyond the cooking and sewing routines and widened the horizon of home and family management to include nutrition, resource management, and other family-oriented courses. Home Economics teacher Ann Borelli remarked about her two separate Child Care classes which were back to back for the first time. “This is the longest preschool we’ve ever had; it certainly provided us with a realistic situation.” Senior Barb Gentry indicated how much fun it was working with the preschoolers. Gentry recalled one of her charges — Eric or Super Eric who, every day, had to decide who he was. He was usually Super Eric, of course. Management of Resources is the only required class that is taught in the department, but a lot of interest is drawn to the rest due to their practical nature.

Clang, bang, saw blades humming, engines running, some purring some sputtering. These are what Industrial Arts classes are all about. Shop classes not only teach the skills of welding, building, and drafting but also the responsibility of being safe while working in the shop. Safety is something Industrial Arts teacher Jerry Newlin feels has to be understood before any work is attempted in the shop. The first three to four days of shop class are used for discussing the rules of the shop and the safety rules. Running a safe and clean shop is exactly what Newlin has done at Bement. He hasn’t had a serious accident since he has worked at Bement High. “Shop classes have improved greatly in teaching skills and responsibility and how to use the tools safely”, said Junior Steve Porter. Most people in shop seem to want to learn instead of goof off which benefits everyone. Upper Right: Industrial Arts teacher, Jerry Newlin, calmly helps Senior Curt Fogerson.

Drivers’ Ed students are faced with detours, stop signs, and rear view mirrors as they begin to master one of life’s most necessary skills. “I was scared to death and shaking so bad I thought I wouldn’t be able to turn the key.” said sophomore Amy Moefield in response to her first time behind the wheel. P.E. is by far the most-looked-forward-to class at school where every- one experiences the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. “I like the variety of activities but because I am a freshman, I get stuck with stuff I don’t want.” exclaimed Freshman Scott Porter with a look of dismay. Health students are bombarded with deep topics. “I have learned more practical information than in any other class I have taken.” said Alan Phipps in a more serious moment. The classes provide students with important high school memories. Upper Left: P.E. class lounges around after a long tedious unit review.

Most of the juniors took the A.C.T. and if you ask them how it was, they would probably respond by saying, “It was harder than I expected.” They are also deciding about what college to go to. Juniors sponsored Prom with their magazines sales and the theme was, “I Had the Time of My Life”; and everyone who attended did.

Sta ejaice TOctA 'ZO'Utent Ideas flowing as fast as the hot chocolate, the Newsstaff celebrated the holiday season with a traditional “feed them donuts while you assign them feature stories” party. Writers were in abundance thanks to a year-long combined journalism photojournalism course. Working for a better image for BHS, the staff not only wrote about improving the school — they got out and got involved in improving the school. Staffers spent a chilly Tuesday morning weeding, raking, and cleaning up the school campus. Their “Don’t Trash It — Can It” campaign to encourage students from littering in the hallways also continued into its second year. Though limited by their one-page bi-weekly publication in the New-Record, the staff overcame their obstacles to turn out a paper to be proud of. Led by Editor Lori Bowen and Advisor Cathy Flood, the writers attacked issues relevant to the students and avoided the boring fluff that often composes small town papers. Reporters Barb Gentry and Todd Thomas received awards from Eastern Illinois University for their writing skill after entering some of their articles in a statewide contest. Editor Lori Bowen received an alternate position for an internship at Ball State University’s Journalism Workshops in photojournalism. To finish the year off on the right foot, a field trip was taken to the Champaign-Urbana News-Gazette. Journalists saw firsthand the work involved in publishing a daily newspaper. Upper Right: Reporter Todd Thomas spent his year concentrating on sports writing for the BARK. This meant long hours eating stale popcorn at girls’ basketball games.

In the class students had to learn the basics of putting a yearbook together. “It is a new experience, it has been a while since we’ve done it this way.’ stated advisor Merle Taylor. With the change students met deadlines better. Taylor added that there is room for improvements. Editor of the yearbook, Sarah Jones, attended a yearbook camp at Ball State University. There she learned new and better ideas that helped the yearbook and the staff. During Christmas the staff and class had a Christmas party at the Taylor’s home, where everyone enjoyed Mr. Taylor’s fine organ music and Mrs. Taylor’s good cooking. Since the class does most of the work, the yearbook quickly came together. It also extended the size of the book by adding an academics section that show off the classes at BHS.

The Marching Bulldogs started the year with student teacher Joni Brian. “She was a great learning experience for everyone,” stated Director Mark York. “I would like to have another one next year.” The band was involved in much more than parades. It participated in the LOVC at Tuscola and IHSA contest at Monticello which resulted in a first place rating. Providing a pep band at basketball games, it played upbeat songs to keep the crowd rowdy during halftime. The jazz band played at concerts, the spaghetti supper and once performed for the elementary kids during lunch. The Bement Marching Bulldogs have done their job of stepping up the action. 44 Above: Putting her practice and patience to work, student teacher Joni Brian leads the band in an excellent performance during the Christmas concert.

Once 4 cme Homecoming activities — Spirit Week, the annual parade, and the coronation didn’t need the help of a Fairy Godmother. To prepare, BHS student council members started getting ready as soon as school began. Spirit week took most of the students’ time. Between deciding what to wear for college day, character day, extreme green day, and working on their floats at night, students were pushed to their LIMITS. Students were also encouraged to participate in the noon-hour activities. The sophomores won spirit week with the seniors placing second, the juniors third and the freshmen fourth.

Perfect The Homecoming ceremony for 1987 was the perfect story book ending. As the music began, members of the royal court stepped into the gymnasium, which had been transformed into a land of fairy tales. Mistress of Ceremonies Junior Stephanie Jones announced each couple. After the applause, the crowd hushed as Jones announced the king and queen. Tim Walsh and Sarah Jones accepted the honor as Tim crowned Sarah, and the gym roared with applause. Each couple followed the newly-crowned royalty to sit in front of the life-like castle. The royalty and its court danced to songs played by Freshmen Tiffany Schnierle. Although the climax of the week had passed, the dance that followed kept the feeling alive. Right:Christine Warner escorted by Scott Lane. Below:Candidates Todd Thomas and Kim Nelsen.

Students were greeted by colorful hallways as the council kicked off “Welcome Back Week” in August. The culmination of the week was an informal dance that began a dance craze amidst students who demanded dances all year long. “Our biggest contributions this year were staging a very successful Homecoming event and our effort to beautify the campus with picnic tables and trash cans, stated advisor Minnie Gudauskas. “Our success throughout the year was largely due to the efforts of our senior members.” An exciting week of “Fairy Tales” helped BHS students celebrate Homecoming while council members worked diligently through all hours to stage the event. Led by President Lori Bowen, Vice-President Barb Gentry, and Secretary-Treasurer Michelle Wilkinson, the seventeen member council added a picnic area for students to use during lunch hour, fought the litter problem by increasing the number of trash cans outside the school building, and spent more time on the concerns raised by the students represented by the council.

People think that all they do is check books in and out. There’s more to it! The students involved do check books in and out, but they also put the books in the right order on the shelves, and a variety of other things. They also find books for the students and or the teachers in the Middle School. President Tammy Mills said, “I enjoy doing things for all the kids in the middle school.” She also stated that a lot of other people are interested too. “It shows in how many students want to be in Librarians Club.” The club also helped the PTA. The PTA ordered 1500 new books for the grade school library; the club put the pockets and cards in the backs of the books. Top Right: Taking a short break, Miss Gudauskas relaxes at her desk.

With the help of Student Council, their annual MORP dance was a tremendous success. FHA’s fundraiser not only raised money, but it also raised school spirit by selling purple and white boxer shorts. Nine members, including sponsor Ann Bor-elli, attended the FHA-HERO State Convention in April. MORP defeated the trend of a band by debuting a disc jockey to play various forms of music — 50’s, 60’s and Top 40 music. The idea of a D.J. went over well. “It was a good idea because more people dance if there is more songs they know. With a band, the songs aren’t as popular, and they are limited,” commented senior Alisa Fairbanks. FHA-HERO’s success was aided by President Stacy Poague, junior. “I think this year was excellent. We had a lot more members than usual (17), and the male population was higher than ever,” she said. Other FHA-HERO officers were: junior Angie Phillips; Vice-President, senior Todd Thomas; Secretary-Treasurer, junior Paula Larimore; Public Relations, and senior Alisa Fairbanks; Historian. The State Convention in Springfield was the highlight of the year for several members. “It was a blast. I met a lot of people and learned a lot, too,” stated junior Kevin Ekiss. Although the club doesn’t receive the recognition that sports do, sponsor Ann Borelli was pleased with the hard work and cooperation from members. “They were great, and they made the year a wonderful success,” she said.

At Christmas time, the club made and distributed food baskets to the needy people of Bement and also to the nursing home residents. This project has been an annual event for quiet a few years. While delivering the baskets, the club sings Christmas carols, some in French and some in English. The people have always enjoyed receiving the baskets and hearing the beautiful music. After the baskets were delivered the club had a party at Lori and Pat Bowen’s house. Another project which seemed to be enjoyed was visiting the nursing home residents. Members of French club read, sang, played games or wrote letters for the elderly. In February the club took a break from helping other people and helped themselves get ready for Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras was a great success. French III and IV invited their parents to come and enjoy the night. This was the ending of a great year for French Club. Hopefully next year will be just as great.

The spring play “Father Knows Best” brought back a lot of memories for most of the people who saw it. Taken from the sitcom “Father Knows Best”, the play looks back at a 1950’s family and their somewhat normal everyday experiences. From a daughter (Barb Gentry) who wants a little freedom to a son (Jon Lewis) who is ready to handle anything, to another daughter (Kelly Lamb) who simply wants to stay all night at a friends house, father (Mark Stoerger) and mother (Michelle Wilkinson) have to stay on their toes. It all goes to show that even “father has his limits.” Above: Cindy Stoerger, Kathy Hensley and Donna Gallivan play their parts well as three mischievous old ladies.

Thespians Tiffany Harrison, Jon Lewis, Kevin Swaim, Mark Stoerger, Michelle Wilkinson, Todd Thomas, and Barb Gentry inducted new Thespians Donna Gallivan, Tim Gilbert, Shannon Hayes, Marc Manint and Lori Bowen into the Thespian Society. Thespians also built a float for the Homecoming parade. National Honor Society, an organization based on leadership, scholarship service, and character, induced new members: Jana Crupper, Tom Tracy, Stephanie Jones, Julie Laroe, and Marc Manint. Current members were Lori Bowen, Michelle Wilkinson, Chris Warner, Tyna Deffenbaugh, Sarah Jones, Scott Lane and Mark Stoerger. BHS Scholastic Bowl team was also honored.

Welcome Koffy Kat Klub. “Koffy Kat Klub (deviced from Kaufman and copy-cat) is an activity to give the high schoolers something to do, a place to be together, and a place to have lots of fun, rather than doing drugs and alcohol,” stated the organizer, Bob Kaufman. “We (people of the community) need to show the high schoolers that we care about them. They need to understand that we think they’re important. If they accept that, then they’ll feel that they’re important and for their lives that will be a positive influence rather than a negative one,” he added. Koffy Kat Klub was founded in January, 1988. The Klub has done such things from a get-together in big gym to a sleepover at the Presbyterian Church. Many of the Klub’s benefits include: Pizza, soda, games, music, dancing, volleyball, basketball swimming, roller skating, talent shows and picnics. An average of 50 high school students attended the Koffy Kat Klub. Senior Tim Walsh thinks the Klub is a great idea, “It’s a good program for teenagers in high school. He’s (Kaufman) an All-American kind of guy who supports, encourages, and listens to the people of Bement.” Kaufman’s major focus is helping today’s youth. He feels that if he can just persuade one student away from drugs and or alcohol, he has won the battle. Kaufman’s motto is, “If we help one, we’ve won.” And that is exactly what Bob Kaufman and his Koffy Kat Klub intends to do — WIN. BY BARB GENTRY Getting involved in activities outside of school is sometimes impossible for some people, but Senior Christine Warner has found time for both. Warner, who has been very active in high school, found time in her busy schedule as a senior to help the mentally retarded. Christine was asked to help coach a basketball team for Special Olympics and she accepted. “The director told my Mom about it and asked if I would be interested. I called Jim Major (the director) and told him I would.” From there, Warner began helping the team. A typical practice for Christine and the team would be what any other basketball team would do. They begin with stretches, about eight sprints, lay-up drills, dribbling drills, and passing drills. “It’s unbelievable, some of them are really good basketball players, the tests that they had to take were really difficult.” The team also worked on offense and defense, and would have a scrimage at the end of the practice session. The team played games within their difficulty division. They won first in their division and first in state. “Crowd support was good, but it was mostly parents, and when there is a lot of support, it makes the kids feel good, and when they do something good, it makes the coach feel as good as the participants.” Warner also added, “I think it helps to work with someone they didn’t know.” Warner also wanted to do this because she is going to 64 major in special education in college. Next year she won’t be able to help because of school. But she wishes she could. Christine Warner had this final comment, “It was really a good year for me; I really came to care about the kids, and it made me feel good knowing they cared about me too. They are very special people, and I think more people should get involved.” BY TIFFANY HARRISON Anything goes! That would have been the fashion statement for Bement High School in 1987-88. Walking down the hall, you can see anything from tees to satins, minis to maxis, or sweats to silks. Cropped tops and long shirts are “in” too, but baggy shirts are the most popular. Jeans are worn, literally. They have to be stone-washed, rock washed, acid-rinsed, or frosted. Not being able to walk down the hall unless their high-top canvas shoes are untied, the boy’s fashion doesn’t differ too much from the girls! Senior Todd Thomas states, “I like to be stylish. It doesn’t matter if the trend is just starting or already in.” The guys need to have short, well-groomed hair, while the girls go for the long, windblown look. It’s clear to see that BHS students are dressed for any occasion: the beach, the jungle, the gym, the farm, rock concerts, or even the mountains. BY SHANNON CHEEK Being on the bench isn’t a disgrace because these people play an important part in every game. One obvious disadvantage of sitting the bench is not getting to play. You can lose valuable experience not playing but then again you can learn a lot by just watching. The subs play a valuable part in every game. They practice the same as the starters, and they help the starters get better by being competitive in practice. When the going gets tough, the subs are always there to cheer up the starters and get them motivated to win the game or make it closer. Many people like coming off the bench rather than starting. “I feel more comfortable coming off the bench to play in a basketball game that I do starting,” stated Junior Jon Lewis. “I feel I can play with more confidence and play Benchers play an important role in every game. more comfortably coming off the bench,” said Lewis. “In a close game, I think the subs play a very important part in the outcome of the game,” said Senior Tim Walsh.” When I’m down and feel like giving up, the subs are always there to lift me up again and that helps”, stated Walsh. Michael Jordan didn’t make the varsity basketball team until his junior year of high school. If you are the sixth, seventh, or even eighth man, keep you head high and keep on working hard because you are a vital part of every team. BY TIM GILBERT In 1987, a national survey of high school and college students shows a 20% drop in cocaine use in the last year, the first significant decline in the last two years. Principal Greg Bradley attributes this decline to better education about the drug. Bradley states that “more teens believe that trying the drug just once or twice is dangerous.” Bradley said that he doesn’t believe this town or its students have really come in frequent contact with cocaine. “What bothers me is that the kids drink, and they know its illegal,” Bradley stated. He also commented that alcohol for BHS teens is more readily available. Bradley blames much of the problem on peer pressure. “These kids think that ‘Well, so and-so is drinking, and if I do, then I’ll be part of the in crowd.” The real problem Bement faces is the use of alcohol by its teens. BY STEVE PORTER What is it that you hear almost everywhere you go, annoys your parents, and each generation has a style of its own? The answer is music. There are so many popular styles of music, including rock, heavy metal, country, blues, jazz, new age, and pop. BHS students were polled in five categories. The results covered a wide range of styles and groups but these were the favorites. BEST BAND Def Leppard Whitesnake Motley Crue White Lion Guns n’ Roses, Van Halen, AC DC, and Tesla came in a tie for fifth. BEST ALBUM Dirty Dancing — Movie Soundtrack Hysteria (Def Leppard) Back in Black (AC DC) Slippery When Wet (Bon Jovi) Pride (White Lion) BEST MALE SINGER Richard Marx George Michael Patrick Swayze tied with Randy Travis David Lee Roth Jon Bon Jovi BEST FEMALE SINGER Tiffany and Whiteney Houston tired for first. Debbie Gibson Lita Ford Belinda Carlisle Pebbles FAVORITE SONG Wait (White Lion) Animal (Def Leppard) Kiss Me Deadly (Lita Ford) I Had The Time Of My Life (Dirty Dancing Soundtrack) In The Jungle (Guns n’ Roses) These are the BEST OF 88, and a star emerged from among us. Todd Dalton, a freshman, got one vote for best male singer. Todd’s words sum up “The Year in Rock”, “I’m the new Heavy Metal Rocker, a star” but for how long? BY TAMMY MILLS How much pride is put into this school? That was the question that Student Council had been asking itself for a long time. During the 87-88 year the Student Council advisors and officers had done a variety of things to help show people that students do care. It started at the beginning of school when the side lots of the school had candy and potato chip wrappers and pop cans all around them. They picked up the litter. From that point, the rest of the students were encouraged to put their trash in the garbage cans instead of on the ground. Vice President Barb Gentry stated “I think cleaning up the school yards, the new picnic tables, and the trash cans make students feel better and it look better for the school.” During the middle of the school year, as the weather began to brighten, Student Council provided the trash cans with a fresh coat of paint (school colors, of course). Also, the students were provided with two new picnic tables, which they took the time to put them together themselves. The students enjoy the tables. Junior Angie Phillips said, “The tables are great! It gives us an enjoyable lunch hour when the weather is terrific.” The students like the tables because they don’t have to eat on the sidewalks, ground, or in the cafeteria. Student Council has shown that we can say we are the school with Class and Pride. 7eac4er TOoncC Seemed BY KATHY HENSLEY 1. This teacher likes to keep her classes on a happy note. 2.

It’s where people make and meet their friends. It’s where they begin to prepare themselves for college or a career. What is school to students? Junior Steve Porter quoted, It's necessary, and it gives you a background in dealing with people, and it prepares you for ‘the real world’, but, in general, it means getting up in the morning.” What is school? “It takes up a good amount of time in your life, so it can’t be all that bad,” stated junior Tammy Mills. Sophomore Cindy Stoerger explained school to be “a big obstacle in the way of growing up,” but Stoerger goes on to say it is, for the most part, fun, though. All of the students agreed on school being necessary, and they went on about it being either good or bad, but Senior Shannon Hayes explained school very bluntly, “It’s necessary.” X 0 P Q B N U V I A C L K W II P N K A T H Y 0 w I L K 0 S N A G M X Q I U Z Y S II A R P B A R A S L A M R D u N N K S A T S M I G E P 0 R S D V S I I R S Z S G H F I P C T M T 0 P K 0 0 S I A 11 JL Y F 0 U L A B A C L Y D E L C V N 0 0 U S L N L L P I 1! 0 A S E E S L II H N 0 W II I W L S M Y L L I G u D A u s K A S E TJ 111 L E E E D u S P T Y C R 0 U pJt Y n A jl Y ip S E I N Y G R 0 in r iA Y L !o r :c 0 U B P W 0 11 A A u N D •r S 7] H M J 0 L L I R 0 N |r jD 0 L A R ;A • C H R I K E N K T N A S Ej D T R 'll P E ■I o L N Y i iC B 0 W o II S E Y L D N E I U E n R 0 B W E ill L J L E U E L I T i iL F M I :L jy ?

Bulldogs had a record of six and twelve overall and six and eight in the conference, but a lot of things were accomplished. “A lot more people played this season and gained valuable experience”, stated J.V. Coach John Harsh-barger. “J.V. is a learning experience for everyone, and this is the most improved squad I’ve had in a long time”, said Harshbarger. “People getting to play and participate will help the Varsity squad in years to come”, explained Harshbarger. “I had fun playing J.V. and learned a lot of things this season that will help me later on in Varsity play”, recalled J.V. Guard Jon Lewis. Upper Left: J.V. Coach, John Harshbarger prepares for battle. Upper Right: Cory Bentley, Freshman, looks for the open man. J.V.

Lower Right: Sophomore Eric Jarboe shoots for two. Sad Bement’s basketball team had its ups and downs. The Bulldogs started off the season with a dismal zero and four start but won the last six out of seven games. “We ended up better than our preseason pick”, stated Coach John Wingle. “We finished third in the conference and second in the conference tournament after being picked in the bottom three of the conference.” “We also had a lot of intangibles that affected the outcome of the season, in spite of that, we played well and finished strong”, said Wingle. Tim Walsh, a first team allconference selection led the team in points with 361 and rebounds with 221. Todd Thomas, a honorable mention all-conference selection led the team in steals with 50 and assists with 121. “We played really well at times and terrible at others”, said Senior forward Tim Walsh. “We finished strong and had a pretty good season”, said Walsh. The Bulldogs ended with a 12 and 13 record and earned second in the LOVC conference tournament Upper Left: Senior Guard Todd Thomas psychs up for a swish.

The JV and Varsity teams had only twelve players between them, and that number dwindled as the season progressed. Injuries and ineligibility knocked the number down to eight by the end of the season. “We did pretty good for having no more people than we did,” commented freshman Janice Laroe. “We also got to have more fun because there wasn’t that many of us.” While the varsity team didn’t have the season they had hoped for, they still met one of their team goals, with a record of four and seventeen. “It was tough with the small number of people we had, but we did meet our goal of improving last season’s record,” Coach Linda Taylor remarked. She felt that her team had improved over the season. Sophomore Cindy Stoerger agreed, “It wasn’t the season we had hoped for,” she explained, “but at least we keep on going and fought our way through it.” Special awards were earned by Tyna Deffen-baugh: Rebounds and most valuable player; Alisa Fairbanks; hustle; Stephanie Jones: All Conference honorable mention and assists; Tammy Mills: free-throws; and Cindy Stoerger: rebounds.

But this year it all paid off when we, the varsity squad, won first place at the Conference Tourney. We didn’t set any limits this year; we went all the way,” said Tyna Deffenbaugh, captain, with great enthusiasm. Besides getting the crowd rowdy and cheering on the team, the BHS cheerleaders were busy providing a week long summer clinic. Sponsor Patty McHugh said that the clinic gave the cheerleaders a chance to teach the town kids the BHS cheers. Along with providing a spirited pep rally during homecoming, the enthusiastic group showed up before school to learn dance routines they performed during halftime. There’s no doubt, these girls ended the season taking “spirit all the way”. Top: Junior, Stephanie Jones, returns for her third year to cheer on the team and rowdy up the crowd.

We placed third in the conference. It was a close race. We had a lot of people qualify for state, and I bet we will be tough to beat next year.” Qualifying for state included Tim Walsh, Cindy Stoerger, Tyna Deffenbaugh, Jeanniene McHale, the girls 400-meter relay team, and the girls 800-meter medley team. Coach John Wingle exclaimed, “We had a good season. All the girls won medals at the invitational track meet in Monticello. We sent more than one person to state and I’m sure we will do good next year.” A lot of records have been broken this year at BHS including Tim Walsh, Cindy Stoerger, the 400-meter and 800-meter girls’ relays, Tyna Deffenbaugh, and Jeanniene McHale.

The Dogs posted a record of nine wins and one loss. Not only did they win the conference, but they also broke the school record for the most wins (15) by winning 22 games. The Bulldogs started off the season with a bang. They won nine games straight before being upset by St. Teresa, who the Dogs beat in the first round of regionals May 19 — nine to six. Although their dream of going undefeated in the conference didn’t come true, they were very excited about first place. “Through the dedication and effort that the team has put out this year, the conference championship was well deserved,” stated coach Jerry Lane.

Junior Jon Lewis made second-team second base, and also won the Hitting Award for the highest average (.441). Coach Lane was extremely pleased. “We were very well-rep-resented in the conference. I felt that it (All-Conference selections) displayed that our overall strength was from our senior-junior squad,” he said. Senior Chad Smith said, “I would have liked to go farther in regionals, but things don’t always go right. We did have a very successful season, and it was a lot of fun.” Upper Left: Chad Smith, senior, throws a strike against St. Teresa. Smith through many strikes en route to the pitching award.

Alisa Fairbanks catches a few moonrays at Prom. W for Walsh. Homecoming King Tim Walsh dances with his mother. 'ZStitltty 76e Many changes were made in ’88. The football team played ball at State and won two games; they were also named WLRW Team of the Week twice. The junior class had a limited amount of money that they could spend for Prom decorations unlike years before. The hallways were off limits at noon. Besides other illegal substances, Pepsi and Skittles among other pop and candy were forbidden outside of the cafeteria. More seniors’ names were listed on the honor roll than ever before. Many students showed their academic abilities by making up poems about each other; these poems were strictly not to be left in classrooms or in the hallways! Student Council bought picnic tables so that the students could take their lunches to school, which hardly ever happened before this year. Student Council also had dances after football games, and students learned to overcome their fear of dancing in public. An English class went on an out-of-school trip to see the play Our Town at the Krannert Center. The news staff also toured the News Gazette in Champaign. The jargon for BHS changed with a few individuals. Everyone had to “say it with me — cool” (thumbs up). Todd Thomas’ answer to everything was “You’re no liar”. The cheerleaders always told the students to shake their bodies. Many students said “No way” or “That works for me” or “I did that in the first grade”. Throughout the year many changes took place, some good and some bad, but BHS hit the top of the charts once again with all of its accomplishments. Top: One of Todd Thomas’ many accomplishments in high school is learning to use whiteout. Bottom: BHS students catch the spirit at one of the first football games of the season. 110 Top Left: Senior Tyna Deffenbaugh works hard to finish one of the many grueling problems assigned by Mr. Taylor in accounting class. Top Right: When told to think about something, these BHS students knew just what to do. Bottom Left: Freshmen Brenda Guyot and Kelly Lamb and junior Dawn Ellis seem to have fun without watching the football game that is going on. Bottom Right: Seniors Kevin Swaim and Tiffany Harrison can’t seem to find the answers, so they are right beside Mr. Taylor’s desk. Mr. Taylor’s reply to their question is “Life has no answer books.” 02Ott As the year comes to a close, the class of 1988 says good-bye and aim toward other goals, while the underclassmen look forward to a vacation full of fun in the sun, until school starts again. The students, who strived for their goals, pushed themselves to their limits and made 1988 a year full of success. During an Advanced Math test, Pat Driscoll is under pressure because he knows that he must receive a good grade on the test. At the end of the year, senior Sarah Jones decides to work to meet the yearbook deadline. 112
