SOPHS ADDED SUNSHINE The full solar eclipse of 1979-a once-a-life happening-was rare ... like the Sophomore class of 1978-79! We, the Sophomore class, experienced many emotions during the year. This year, many new and amusing emotions were experienced by the class members. In October, the Carnival appeared to raise a large amount of enthusiasm. Working on the game (Pop Bottle Pickup) and our variety show skit seemed to be ' 'trying'' at certain times, but proved to be entertaining to the public. The people of Big Sandy also witnessed the pleasant spectacle of Brenda Kulbeck and Jeff Remick representing the class of 1981. As February's eclipse advanced toward totality, darkness swrept over the ground. Darkness, anguish, and grief were also emotions felt sometimes by all members of the class. Semester tests, the moving away of close friends (like Dixie Rnottnerus), and Mrs. Mangold's biology essays dampened our spirits. After the class recovered from their grievances, happiness and joy soon ' 'took over. ' Friday nights at the ' 'Y'' appeared to overcome the earlier griefs. Not only were Friday nights occupied for ' 'hanging out with the guys,'' they were also reserved Continued-opposite page Four of the sophomores who added sunshine to the BSHS are Jeff Remick, President; Dave Pegar, Student Council Representative; Stefan! Green, Vice President; and Joan Berlinger, Secretary- Treasurer along with their class sponsor, Mr. Mangold.

GENIAL JUNIORS LIVENED HALLS The first day of kindergarten was a big event in our lives. It was our first day of school. Many of us made freinds quickly and others of us stood back and watched. As we think back to those few weeks, we remember two fellow classmates who chased a skunk into a culvert then proceeded to pursue the matter further. We ften grin and wonder...' 'What would have happened if they had caught the skunk?'' Grade school proved a constant challenge to keep out of trouble. We were a rowdy bundyalways playing tackle football, red rover, and dog pile. We spend more recesses inside than outside! Surely, we all recall the little pink rocks from Mrs. Aman's fish bowl. Enjoyment and strategy were major issues of our junior high years. We would try anything for a laugh. So we remember when some of us dropped our pencils at 9:00 sharp... ? And what happened? Soon junior high was no more, and we found ourselves in high school. Growing talents and responsibilities began taking more and more of our times of pleasure. The juniors are a very active class. Some exert themselves in track, basketball, wrestling, football, and cheerleading while others enjoy speech and music. Sponsoring the carnival dance and preparing for the Prom were major responsibilities of the Junior class. As time went on through 1979, we began to realize the importance of teamwork, the importance of utilizing our time, and the necessity of friends. Without each individual's ideas and personalities, the Junior Class would be nothing. Where there is work done well, satisfaction must follow. Satisfaction promotes happiness in the end. The class of 1980 found lots of happiness this year! -Annette Terry Sophomore class sponsor Ladene Mangold smiles admiringly at her class officers - Mike Richter, student council representative; Kathy Bahnmiller, secretary-treasurer; Mike Faber, president, and Lori Archibald, vice president. 24 Lori Archibald Kathy Bahnmiller Maaike Batey Brian Berlinger Maureen Berlinger Bart Bitz Melinda Bold Kelly Braun Calvin Danreuther Marlen Eve Mike Faber Shannon Green Eleanor Kirkby Kirby Kulbeck Karen Patterson Allison Ralph Brenda Rice Mike Richter Russell Schmid Daren Schuster Reg Springer Annette Terry Michelle Vielleux Robbie Whetham Chuck Witschen
