Unda Mounsey and Dave Musselman, seniors, get into some heavy sounds w J i ARRAh JubE JeIs Some seniors say: Man, nothin ' ever happens. There isn ' t anything to highlight our year. But, if these seniors and a few underclassmen would just look around, they would find a few things that made our year. Take Afro-hair cuts, for example. The trend at BHS was to Afro your hair (but not permanently), then come to school and try it on everyone for size. After all the oohs, and ahs, and Wow, your hair looks cool, the daring did the real thing and permanently jazzed up their locks. More popular among females than males, diets still pre- vailed as a major concern. A typical day in the cafeteria would show several girls brown-baggin ' it with total contents consisting of a single orange. For dessert, girls munched on the newest-oldest craze, — jube jels. The reason being, only one calore per jube jei. Kiss and Aerosmith were still the popular pick of rock groups at BHS, but the recently discovered Boston ensem- ble made their likeable debut. The Love Story of 77, A Star is Born with Streisand and Kristofferson charmed males and females alike when both the movie and album became extremely popular. Wednesday evenings at promptly 10:00, male TV viewers ' eyes were glued to the set, and it would take a crowbar to pry them off. The reason — Charlie ' s Xngels. Pictures of these foxy angels adorned many male bedroom walls throughout Blackford County, especially the ever-popular Farrah Fawcett. Every boys ' dream girl of the year, Farrah Fawcea- Majors, is put on a bed- room wall arid drolled over by freshman Vm VanCor- don. Crazes 15

S bAll IN rhE sidE pockET Some students have hobbies and some have their sports, but still others have their hobby sports. Six senior lifeguards spent Wednesday even- ings in guard chairs with whistle-adorned necks, keeping energetic swimmers safe during recreational swims. When only the news and the third rerun of a Roadrunner cartoon are on TV, a pool table and pool sticks come in quite handy if bore- dom sets in. Many teenagers find pool and ping-pong quite enjoyable hobby sports after the sun goes down and the lights on the out- door tennis and basketball courts no longer provide ample lighting. The huge mounds of snow that accumulated during the heavy winter provided snow-mobil- ing, snow-skiing, and even snow-shoveling for students interested in winter hobbies. 16 Hobby Sports
