Rain Moves B-Day Inside Rain and forty-five degree weather didn’t stop more than 900 students from participating in the third annual Country Fair- -better known as B-Day. Spirit week began with a beautiful 85 degree day and sweats were the costume of the day; but, typical of Montana weather, the thermometer fell to a mere forty-five degrees by Fri- day. But weather didn’t seem to dampen the students’ or facultys’ spirit or pride for the Broncs: many were seen taking part in Hawaiian day, 50’s day, Punk day, and of course, the spirited orange and black day. To brighten the gloomy weather, on Friday the majorettes distributed over 1500 B-Day mums to the students and teachers. Due to rain and sleet, the location of the picnic and country fair was chang- ed to the old gym, but the activities went as planned. Ninty-three faculty members served chicken to the students, who then gathered in the new gym for the pep rally led by the cheerleaders and Horn Patrol. Many clubs added to the excitment by setting up traditional carnival-type booths such as the pie toss, dart throw, and balloon shaving contest. Because of unco-operative weather, the famous dunking booth was not available. A new booth, sponsored by the Drama Department, took its place. Students and faculty members lined up for hours to pose in old fashioned costumes. In spite of the rain, the game started right on schedule Friday night. Second quarter ended with a score of 0-6--the Great Falls Bison leading. Spirits were lifted by an outstanding half-time show presented by the BSHS majorettes and marching band. Immediately following the performance, a white car decorated in B-Day fashion -- drivien by an anonymous driver—spun a broadie in the middle of the football field. Unfor- tunately the mystery driver didn’t have enough “drive” to help the Broncs “Herd the Bison!” Senior was defeated 0-8 by Great Falls High. To conclude the spirit week, Pep Club sponsered the Homecoming dance D.J.’d by Y-93. The theme of the dance, “Forever’s Gonna Start Tonight,” was conceived from the hit single “Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie Tyler. At eleven o’clock seniors Jackie Schanz and Kurt Llewellyn were crowned B-Day king and queen. Other candidates were Tami Bartlett, Shawn Cosgrove, Carolyn Geiger, Tom Lambdin, Chad Maddox, Kathy Schmalz Hillary Smith, and Randy Wagner. Although the weather did not sup- port the Broncs effort, nearly everyone else did. A tradition washed up? Each year as attendance at the B-Day carnival declines, the question of its con- tinuance rises. Because less than half the student body participated this year, the faculty council questioned its validity. Robert Zupan, activities director, explains, “Because of the poor attendance and the concern about school time, Student Council will have to seriously con- sider B-Day this spring.” He further commented that it would be more difficult o sell B-Day to the school board memebers next year, but that he was all for it. members must approve any time off school. ftudents can convince school board members to keep B-Day as a school and unless more students participate in B-Day activities, it may be a washed-up tradition! TEAM SPIRIT wasn’t enough to boost the Broncs to a victory. The B-Day game was one in a series of close games. INTENSE CONCENTRATION is given to coach Tom Hauck as he calls time-out. PRAYING DESPERATELY for a touchdown is Wesley Herron at the homecoming game, in which the Broncs were defeated by the Great Falls Bison, 0-8. GIGGLING BETWEEN TUNES are mar- ching band members: Pam Anderson, Becky Nys, Doug Mclsaac, Mike Orr, Colleen Coberly, Teresa Papke, and Sonia Hurlbut. 16B B-Day
