I, Joe Keller, a foreboding member of the shower club, will my clean body to Mike Dukeman, who never takes a shower, and my quiet taste in music to Jack Bolsen, who can’t keep his music to himself. I also will to all underclassmen the virtue of patience when dealing with the system. I, Larry Kesterson, will to Lori H. and Traci F. nothing because they’ve already got it. Also, my shower to either Colin, Derek or Dave. I, Kathy Low, will my maturity to Matt Bennett, who's definitely in need. I will to Bridgot F. my cheerleading talent I didn't get to use my senior year. Finally, to Bettina, I will my good times and my leftovers, they're all yours! I, Kim Lappin, will to my brothers and sisters the ability to enjoy their high school years as much as I did; to Tammy Barker the ability to talk to a guy without touching him; to Danny Luck the best of luck with 8th grade and thoughout high school; to Shawna, Tina, Stephanie, Angie, and Stacy, my government book, and hopefully you will enjoy it more than I did; to anyone who needs a ride to school every morning to call Tom Rucker’s Taxi Cab Service; to Brian Richardson all of my earrings; and last of all to any senior girl to get served on your class trip by your friends like I did. I, Kevin McReynolds, will my watch to Derek F., my good times in Sullivan to Mudd, Colin, and Mark, and my pinata clobbering to anyone brave enough to go up against steel pinatas. I, Melissa McReynolds, will to Traci Ashinhurst and Lori Hite the good times we had together in P.E. and basketball, and to keep them going. I also will to Chris Bolen my coordination in hopes that she will be able to stay on her feet while playing basketball. I, Billie Moon, will the traditional box of Pampers to Stephie Shelton and Stacy Harmon in hopes they’ll use them. And to my brother Colin, the fun that I’ve had, and much more. I. Anita Mulvany, will only if Ronda will, providing she can or wants to, and if she does and I don’t then I guess I won’t, but if I do because she does, I will not with you. And I will to Allison H. a lot of class. I, Tom O’Brien, will anywhere, anytime, anyway, real cheap. I, Lyndall Rawlings, will all my good times in high school to everybody. I, Kathy Ray, being of sound mind and little body, will to Traci F. the ability to go into an empty” D.Q. bathroom; to Hilary H. my car since there's more of her stuff in there than mine; and to Deana, I will keep her secrets if she’ll keep mine. I, Curtis Dwayne Robinson, being of sound mind and sound body, will the following: to Mike Sweeney, all the good times and bad times we have had at Todd’s Point; to all the very smart mouthed 7 and 8 graders, the ability to keep their mouth shut; and last, but not least, I will still say after it’s done and over, THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN. I, William J. Shain, will to all my friends the ability to keep the tradition going, and to my brothers Bobby and Steven, all the good memories. I, Wayne Snearly, will to Jim U. and Gary C. the ability to hit running backs, since they already have a good start, and to Jill, to have a great time in her last year at BHS. I, Kelly Waggoner, will to Rachel D. my sense of humor since she had to put up with mine all year. To the freshmen girls a book of Emily Post’s Manners, since they don’t have any! To Allison H. all the class in the world ... think she’ll have enough! I, John Paul Williams, being of sound mind and great body, will my studliness to Mike Atkinson, because I want to. I will my nerves to Shawn Davis because he has a tendency to get on them. I also will my fun times in band to Mike Atkinson, because only he knows the times in band. I will my wardrobe to Mike Tipsword, because his clothes don't prove manhood. I, Todd Yarnell. will if John, Mike, and Dave will. I, Teresa Yates, will Sheri D. my baggy jeans in hopes she will quit wearing tight jeans, I also will Tammy B. my luck in catching a guy like I have, and be able to stick with him. Seniors 23

We've been together for so long now, for some of us it’s been almost thirteen years. To grow up and share so many treasured memories and wonderful ex- periences together, it makes it all the more hard to say goodbye to one an- other when we graduate and part for the last time. We were only five years old when we met in that kindergarten room, wide-eyed and frightened at the strange new faces. Little did we know then that one day the strangers would grow into the oldest and most cherished friends some of us will ever have. School for some will only be a blessing that it is finally over, but it was here that we spent the most part of our childhood lives. We grew from little toddlers into adolescents. And now we’ve grown into young men and women. A PEEK AT THE PAST . . . Seniors 25
