i f l Carrying on the BHS tradition, this year's pepsquad brought us our spirit filled, Blue and Gold rallies. Time, hard work, and preparations were much a part of the girls' efforts in their productions of enthusiastic rallies that reoccurred throughout the year. Everyday after school, the squad was found in the quad accompanied by loud music and hesterical laughter as they prepared and created the upcoming rallies. Efforts and ideas came together as the excitement continued to grow. The long awaited Fridays finally arrived. w 3 Long and hard football practices merged into games. Students gathered at the various sights to enjoy the spirited rallies. Hardships, for a time, were forgotten as we united in hopes and lifted spirits high enough to cheer on another heart aching effort, victory. RALLIES . 19
