Colorful was the word for Bend Senior High and for the entire Bend community in 1978-79. With rapid growth in area population came an increased need for new stores. Colorful new shopping areas included Albertsons, Longs Drugs, the- Whistle Stop Fine Shops and Oregon Street Mall while restaurants like The Beef Depot, Spaghetti Works, Chalet, Wendy's and Fanny Anne's made their debut. Brown was the word for many Bend streets when construction crews blasted and gouged out ditches to lay new pipes for Bend's new sewer system. Driving to school sometimes was difficult since temporary road closures meant detours had to be used. While scientists around the world experi- mented with the cloning of human be- ings, Bend High produced its own clone as the city's second high school opened. This new cross-town rival, Mtn, View, made varsity games more colorful as its red and black clad lV teams and rally girls turned up at joint BSH-Nltn. View varsity events. Compared to the brand new school, Bend High's old pink and gray exterior seemed quite unexciting. Therefore, in January, the student council sought and received approval from the district office to paint the school. In addition to improving the appearance of the school, officers also hoped to bring the student body and staff together in a common project and to lift school pride. Throughout the winter months, students and adults worked to prepare for the most colorful event of all, painting day, May 12.
