Still many students know lit- tle or nothing about the 22x63 bronze engraving. The plaque is the school crest. This engraving features a Bruin bear and the motto: NuUi Secun- dus , second to none. There are four small emblems in the center of the crest which stand for four school goals: learning, arts, athletics, and justice. The plaque, which cost approxi- mately $1,000, was erected in honor of five deceased classmates ofHart- iraS« - ' ford City High School. Our physical field consists of a 70 acre field placed between Hartford City and Montpelier. However, our school is not just another building. It ' s a house for the dreams, ambi- tions, and goals of many students. Each has his own unique and indi- vidual personality. These personal- ities vary greatly, from pig kissing contest winners, to football partici- pants and spectators. With the combination of all of these elements and many more, we can say we are IN A FIELD OF OUR OWN. Homecoming activities were highlighted by the pig kissing contest. Mrs. Smith received second place and won the priviledge of kiss- ing the pig. The school plaque, found by the front en- trance, represents the four major school goals: learning, arts, athletics, and justice. Theme 3 We vary very much Student Life covers the entire range of student personalities. Each student hves a very individual life, excelling in his own field. Student ' s interests vary from dancing to the Lighthouse beat, to watching Kramer vs. Kramer, to just cruisin ' the strip. There is a variation of taste in clothes, from jeans to disco silks. Tastes in music range from Kiss to Kenny Rogers. Many students are involved not only in school activities, but also in local clubs and church youth groups. Individuality contributes to the lives of all. Brute Pat Parker watches the action during the state championship football game. Pat was very popular with the Bruin fans throughout the season. There is more than one way to skin a cat or teach a concept. Mr. Cheeseman demon- strates this by teaching his class fractions in an original way. The role of football manager is filled by Jeff Bales, as he trys to repair a football helmet. This was one of the many tasks he performed. At Homecoming bonfire activities, Kim Funk sits atop Robyn Boxell. A number of students braved a cool windy night to ' fire-up ' . 4 Student Life Division student Life Division 5 Princesses, Angela Fettig and Pam Rinker give inviting swiles to the camera after par- ticipating in the Blackford County 4-H Pag- eant. The summer ended on a happy note for Jam- boree queen Pam Moore and surrounding princesses after an exciting day at the Mont- pelier Jamboree Queen Contest. Deanna Slusher poses in native costume dur- ing her student exchange visit in Bogata, Co- lumbia, South America. Deanna stayed with a family of six. 6 Summertime Sweet sweet summertime To every thing there is a season. And a time for every purpose. Sum- mer for Blackford Students is doing pretty much what they choose. Some travel, others go to camp, some enter contests, and some just ' run around. ' Many Bruins use their free time to attain goals they don ' t have time for during the more hectic school year. The rewards reaped for striving for new heights range from the obvious to those that are not readily seen. The cheerleaders won the top award at I.U. ' s cheerleading camp. Numerous individuals won ribbons, prizes or titles. Others ended the season with just a little more confi- dence, knowing they had met per- sonal challenges and were more ready to cope with the future. The football team, for example, re- turned to school after the summer better prepared to excel. For them, as for many others, the summer served as a time for both mental and physical preparation for life. Not only that, they got good tans. 1 rF Debbie Willmann shed tears of joy when hon- ored with the showmanship award at the Blackford County 4-H Fair. Debbie showed her rabbits. Fromage!

That new song sparlied endless conversation among the out n ' about. 8 Out And About Bruins got out n ' about High school Ufe isn ' t just confined to school work from 8:25-2:55. BHS students know that and after 2:55, they try even harder!! After a streneous night on the town, Pizza King, Burger Chef, and Just-Rite were always the last stop to cure the munchies. If nothing was found in Hartford City, a quick trip to Muncie was surely to be made. Shopping was done at the Mall with maybe a stop at Stonehendge. Movie fans watched The Jerk and Apocalypse Now and Trekies stood in line to see Star Trek, The Movie. Wendy ' s, Siciliano ' s, Arby ' s, and McDonald ' s, and a cruise around Ball State Campus were popular with BHS students. There were jobs to work at, sports to play, games to go to, meets and movies to watch, parties to attend, and shopping to get done, in fact . . . a whole bunch of living to do!!!!

Jeff Stroup, Beth Lee, Resa Boxell, and Cheryl Laymon show the effort it takes in making a Homecoming float that wins. we Out And About 9 Coach Chuck Lori won the ' Kiss the Pig ' contest with $31 worth of votes at a penny a vote. Coach Lori said, Winning by even a penny is too much! English teacher Mrs. Kelsea Smith was runner-up. Homecoming Queen Sherri Bole stands proudly in front of the senior ' s float with es- cort Gary Langdon. The float finished first. The band added their special touch to half- time. They entertained at every home game during half-time. 10 Homecoming Homecoming is Twt stuff ' Crazy hat day started spirit week, with kiddie day, farmers day, 50 ' s day and Bruin tradition, the juniors, like last year ' s juniors, rode a hay wagon to school. This year the ju- niors also rode the wagon to the bon- fire. Floats were worked at and spied on all week as every class tried to have the best. The seniors float of the Bruins having a cookout and roasting apaches won. The Bruins got down to business Friday night and showed their ' Hot Stuff by stomping the Wabash Apaches 45 to 8. Alter fierce competition, the sophomores enthusiasticly accepted the Spirit Stick dur- ing the Homecoming Pep session at the toot- baU field. Offensive Line Coach Rick Clark discusses strategy with the offensive Unemen before the Homecoming game against the Wabash Apaches. Elected Homecoming court were soph. Angle Carll with John Stanley, candidate Carla Dodds with Mark Lewellen, Queen Sherri Bole with GaryLangdon, candidate Kelli Mel- lert with Brad Everhart, Junior Joni Langdon with Mike Brown, and frosh. Dixie Batten with Pete Griffith. Student Council Pres. Jeff Stroup presented the crown. Homecoming 11 Bruins seek almighty Quick! Name three things you can do without cash. Good. Now name three things you can do with cash. Apparently many BHS students pre- fer the latter three options because many spent a good deal of their time working. From Burger Chef to Dairy Queen to Kentucky Fried Chicken, to Hart- ford Concrete to Hartford Glass to pumping gas, Bruins found diversi- fied occupations to match their di- versified personalities. Bruins did unskilled labor such as mowing lawns, raking leaves, Brian Cain made his money pumping gas at Kerr McGee. I fixed a car every once in a while too. Brian has worked there for a year. washing windows, and cutting wood. Still others babysat, cleaned house, worked on farms, and took inventory. Some of these occupations pro- vided money for Bruins to partake in their favorite activates. Others saved their hard earned dough to further their educations. In general BHS students seemed eager to enter the work a day world. The new Marsh store hired many Bruin stu- dents as cashniers, stocliboys, and carry-outs. Senior Kurt Henery restocks the shelves. Crist Incorporated, incorporated senior Cindy Norton as their secretary at their ware- house. Crist is located at 200N. Carrie Norton displays her bunny suit on Hal- loween. Burger Chef employees dressed for the occasion and gave free hamburgers to the trick or treat ers. Senior Rhonda Mann earned her money as a secretary at Hartford Glass. Rhonda plans to work full time at Hartford Glass after gradu- ation. Jobs 13 Spanish classes constructed pinatas before Christmas. The colorful paper mache decora- tions are filled with candy and broken at Christmas celebrations. And the band plays on! Under the direction of Mr. Fread the band performed at events; from parades to concerts to pep sessions. 14 Winter 4. ■ Even though snow was not to be found there was some ' outside ' help in decorating the hoh- day season. On New Year ' s day the trees were coated with ice. The choir performs On an Evening Long Ago. Under the direction of Mr. Turley the choir annually adds to the Christmas pag- eantry. Winter without weather After the past few years of bitter winter weather, winter has taken on new meanings . . . mostly it has gained the added conotation of counting snow days. This year bitter it was not. By the end of January it had hardly even snowed, let alone gotten us out of school. Over Christmas break the number of carolers topped the number of snowmobilers. There was just no snow. There was Christmas spirit how- ever, the Christmas tree was put in the front lobby by the Science Club. Santa, Tod Boise, made it to our con- vocation. An ' International Christ- mas ' party was held by the foreign language clubs and the band marched in the Christmas parade. In the latter part of January it fi- nally snowed enough to permit ' don- uts ' in the parking lots. And it got cold enough to make us all wish for springtime or Florida. Winter 15 Mr. Gary Cheeseman demonstrates the use of the printing press to Neil Schwindt. This is just one of many machines used in industrial arts. Mr. Retherford and Mrs. Tyler talk with visi- tors. One of Mr. Retherford ' s goals in his first year was to stress open communications. Parents of current band members discuss plans for the 1980 summer trip to Florida. A trip is taken every four years, the destination 16 Open House - Parents explore BHS Parents saw, hear d, and tasted the activities at BHS Open House. The dress rehearsal of The Importance of Being Earnest was performed by Masque and Gavel. Wheel throwing, printing, coil and slab ceramic mak- ing, cake decorating, and a display of clothing were demonstrated by the Art and Home Economics Depart- ment. ' Bear Necessities ' were sold by Distributive Education members. The Blackford Today staff broad- casted, and the publications pro- gram was explained. Swing Choir entertained with three open rehearsals. A band meet- ing was held for students and par- ents involved in the Florida trip. In- tensive Lab demonstrated the use of business machines and served re- freshments. Student Council mem- bers served as guides and directed parents. I The Swing Choir per- forms Moonlight Sere- nade , a part of their program, for anyone who cares to listen at the annual Open House. Mr. Lyndon Wall dis- cusses the yearbook op- eration with Reflections editor Deanna Brown. The yearbook is a year long effort by publica- tions students. Open House 17 Sadie King Tod Boise and date Chris Miller dance the spot-light dance upon his being crowned King of Dogpatch. I do, is said by Terry Willmann and escort Lee Ann Garton. Marrin ' Sam duties were performed by 1979 grads Rich Hicks and Dee Dee Schwindt. The King and his court pose for a picture in typically resplendent dog-patched surround- ings. They were chosen by students. Turn ahout ' s fair play When the evening of Nov. 3 rolled around, the dating tables were turned. Sadie Hawkins gave BHS a small taste of women ' s lib. Before the Sadies, girls make tough decisions about who to ask, how much money to spend, where to eat, and which patched jeans to wear. In preparation for the exciting evening, assorted Booster Club members took to the countryside in search of corncobs, wild flowers, and old farm items. An ambitious group even sought and took tempo- rary possession of an old, beat-up house. Corsages for the guys were made by the gals of weeds, dried flowers, and leaves, they exemplified the at- mosphere of the Sadies. The Sadie Hawkins dance was reigned over by King Ted Boise and his court of John Payne, Doug Mad- dox, and Lee Myers. The Sadies provided plenty of dancing to music by Forecaster, eat- ing, and a chance to be married by Marrin ' Sam. 18 Sadie Hawkins Pictures are just one facet of the Gal — treat — Guy Sadie Hawkins nigtit.

Ever have one of those days when everything seems to he going wrong and everybody seems to he making fun of you. Then, when you think you ' ve got everything under con- trol, something goes wrong.

Well, that ' s about the best definition of hard luck we can think of Have you ever . . . fell asleep in a totally boring class and awoke to find yourself in the same room, only one hour later? . . . felt like you could throw-up for not studying for that test next hour instead of riding around with your buddies last night? . . . tried desperately to open your locker knowing you were already late for class and having it slammed again for the seventh time? . . . de- cided not to dress up for Crazy day and have someone stop you in the hall only to say sarcastically, Nice outfit ? If you ha ve experienced any of the above symptoms, it is more than likely that you were suffering from a severe case of HARD LUCK. 20 Hard Luck IWi «2 ... is the ' big ' guys making a fool of you in the hall.

Iranian revolutionaries parade an American Hostage in front of the American Embassy. The tragedy in Iran dominated the news for months. rtton •t ' k-ss r Pope John Paul waves to the adoring Ameri- can crowd. During his tour of the states the Pope captured the hearts of millions. 22 Around The World A renewed national faith The year was not a slow news year. The pendulum swung from highs to lows. In sports the year was highlighted by Purdue ' s trip to the final four and by the victory of an underdog U.S. Hockey team in the Winter Olym- pics. But even the joy of the Winter Games was tainted by the fact that it appeared the U.S. would boycott the Summer Games in Moscow because of Russian incursion into Afghani- stan. This combined with Iran ' s kid- napping of 50 Americans led the world to the brink of war. Fortunately the world always springs back in hope. A new and popular Pope, a closer dialogue with the third world, a growing national resolve, and perhaps even a re- newed national faith in our worth, served to encourage our country. Father to son in one of the many moving scenes from the popular movie ' Kramer vs. Kramer. ' The movie was not only popular, it was much discussed. An embattled President pauses for prayer. In a difficult year for the country, President Carter ' s popularity rose as people rallied to the flag. Around The World 23 Saturday Night Alive! David may be a bit grumpy on a Monday. Helen may want to space through second period most every day. Everyone gets sleepy in an English class following lunch. But give ' em a Saturday night and they come alive! Now few, if any, would argue that Blackford County is one of the world ' s great entertainment capi- tals. In fact some would even main- tain it borders on being dull. Still, on a weekend evening it ain ' t all bad. If you ha ven ' t got ahea vy, and the parents haven ' t stuck you with the yard-apes, and the car runs . . . you know it has gas, you head for town. You might go to A Wand to look for guys. You might go bowling and looking for guys. You might go to the Munice Mall to a movie and then go looking for guys. Or you might just go cruisin, . . . for guys. Now guys don ' t get upset that this is written from the girl ' s point of view. We know you aren ' t looking for guys. Just think of all those girls out looking for you. Well, maybe you aren ' t exactly what they had in mind but then they aren ' t always just what you were looking for ei- ther. Maybe down the road at Burger Chef, or later at the Dairy Queen? Sounds like ' Happy Days ' doesn ' t it? Welcome to Saturday Night in Bru- in Country. To celebrate a basketball victory, forwards Dave Dickey, Brett Town- send, Tom Sharp, and center Jeff Stroup share a coke. After A Bruin basketball game, Me- linda Defenbaugh, Anita Dawson. Lisa Brown, Kris Robbinson, and Dan Allen munch on a pizza at Clara ' s. 24 Partying Lindsey Morris and Janet Booher take a break from the party to relax and talk about their weekend plans.

Days that turn it around ™T 1 Those precious few days that can turn it all around. When you wake- up and feel good before you even remember why. That first day of spring when it breaks 70 degrees and it ' s dry enough you can lay in the grass. And there aren ' t even any bugs to bug The baseball home opener. Hot dogs really do taste better when you eat them at the diamond. If the game goes extra innings you might just get a sunburn. You will regret that burn later, but at the time . . . it feels so good. Gentlemen start your engines, back home again in Indiana, and the roar of the engines at the 2 2 mile oval start the Indiana summer in style. Even if it ' s only on the radio it ' s part of the good times. And graduation day. Yes there are tough and lonely times to come, but on graduation day, today ' s the day we made it through . . . together. Twenty miles is a long way to go when you ' re walking. Judy Dunn and Dixie Batten partici- pate in the walk-a-thon. l mrn ' Oktim I W - jii 26 Happy Days There ' s a sucker in every crowd! Lisa Hum- mer, and Lisa Wagner enjoy the weather and an early season baseball contest. It ' s a re-creation of Nashville showdown, that legendary game, played by Blackford base- ball players. Everybody, but everybody looks forward to their driver ' s license. Robyn Rogers receives her ticket to ride. Happy Days 27 With a few close friends People are different in many ways. Some people roUerskate at Skate-Away while others settle for the company of a friend at the Pizza King. Some people are bubbling with en- ergy and enjoy the more active so- cial activities. Slightly quieter folks enjoy walks in the woods and enjoy less athletic events. The extremely shy ones enjoy the comforts of home and the company of a few close friends. Jim Sullivan enjoyed working as a talking Christmas tree. Some people move so fast you don ' t even know what they are doing. Each person is an individual, shin- ing IN A FIELD OF HIS OWN. Miss Jane Spencer demonstrates how to ap- ply clay to make a cast. The cast will later be removed and used to make a mold of the face. Scott Twibell performs on the electric piano at the spirit week dance. Scott was one of the five students with the band Caravan. At the annual Fall Sports Banquet Matt Dan- iel makes a new friend with a possible future Bruin athlete. Friends and family joined to honor athletes. Feature writer Jim Sullivan checks when he is to return to his job as the talking Christmas tree. Jim used the experience for a story. 28 People Division People Division 29 With her diploma in hand.

MEMORIE Cherish the Memories Cherish the memories of yester- day as you strive for a more perfect tomorrow was the motto of the graduation of the Class of ' 80. Wpmen ' s Lib scored a victory at Blackfo rd when all four senior offi- cers were girls. The majority of the Senior Executive Committee was also female. Pam Bales, Anita Cook, Linda Tyler, Allen Knox, Jeff Stroup, and the officers composed this group. Over four years, the Class of 80 gathered many memories. While freshmen, the baseball team was state runner ' s up. During the sopho- more year, the ' 78 blizzard occurred along with the coal strike. As ju- niors, the prom and looking forward to being seniors was on most minds. During the senior year, the football team won the state championship. These highlights and other memo- ries of first dates, prom nights, and homecoming games will remain in the minds of the members of the Class of ' 80 as they strive for a more perfect tomorrow. Mrs. Debbie Gabbard gets some practice in dealing with kids by being senior class spon- sor before she has her own in the fall. 32 Sponsors And Officers Lisha Adkins: BruINformer, Pep Club, OEA, Office Lab.

John Elliot ONLY A DREAM A glowing light was shining as the sun burst from God ' s hand Sending little sparkling lights across the darkened land. Trumpets sounded loudly and harps began to play Angels sang beautiful songs because this was the judgement day. A gate of pearl opened and I walked on streets of gold. I saw all the beautiful things That my eyes could behold. But then I awakened and it made me very sad for judgement was not here yet It was only a dream I had.

Snowmobiling is the perfect way to spend a snowy evening or a snow-day away from school. Tammy Wolfe and Karen Jester take one out for a run. . : d980 d985 What becomes of the class of 1980? Psychiatrists, religous figures, and most everyone who has studied the way people feel about their lives, generally agree that it is important for people to take stock of their lives periodically. They feel thataperson is usually happier when he occasionally stops for an overview of his life and decides what is really important to him. This series of questions was designed to help the class of 1980 (and anyone else) evaluate their futures. We encourage you to take out a piece of paper, answer for yourself these questions about your life, tuck it a way, and then sometime in the future (like 1985) get the paper out, read it, and answer the questions again. It couldn ' t hurt and it might help. What got you out of bed? What are you trying to accomplish? It ' s totally up to you. Your goal may be to free the world from cancer, make a million dollars, raise a happy family, or live to see another Friday night. You may have a variety of goals, any goal is good if it is important to you. Write down your goal or goals. If you can ' t find any . . . think . . . think hard! Just keepin-on for keepin-on ' s sake is not enough for a lifetime. Who matters to you? Name five people who matter to you. Any five. After you write down the names, make a note to somehow tell each and every one of them before 24 hours has passed. Tomorrow could be too late. Believe that, and today will seem precious. It should. What do you work for? Now wait a second. That question is not easy. Sure you work for money. Slavery went out sometime be- fore you entered high school But what do you want out of your job? How much money, at how great a cost? We are not saying you should chase the dollar less. Only you could say that. We are asking you to consider at what cost you earn your money. Write down what you get from your job. Money? Pride? Satisfaction? Broth- erhood? Those are all important. Now balance them against what you give-up. Energy? Time? Patience? etc. If you know what you want from work, you ' ll get it. What worries you? List an even dozen things that worry you. Stop when you get to 12. That will be plenty. Now, just to make that list a little more managable, cross off all those things that don ' t really make that big a difference in the long run. Things like . . . will that ridiculous year- book get out on time? Things like . . . getting a new car. (Do it but don ' t worry about it.) Then cross off any- thing that worry won ' t help. Grandma may not get well and some fool may drop the bomb, but worry just won ' t help in either situation. Your list should be get- ting pretty small, but don ' t think we are saying that worry accomplishes nothing. It will wear you out fas- ter than work, and it will send you to an early grave if you let it. The things on your list that made it through the grinder here deserve your concentration. Ignore the rest. Applause Applause!! What have you done in the last year or so that you are proud of? What are you going to do in the year to come? Write em down, then lead yourself in a round of applause. We ' re clapping along even though you may not hear us. Need a good time? List three little things you enjoy that you haven ' t done lately. A bag of your favorite cookies, a fire out- doors, or a card game maybe. List things that are easy to do and cheap. Then make some quick plans to go do one of those things. Who do you owe? One of the grandparent ' s generation ' s biggest han- gups was feeling that they should go through life with- out ever really owing a whole lot to anyone. They wanted to pay their way. You can ' t completely. No man stands alone. But . . . But our generation threatens to go to the other extreme. We have a tendancy to take and take and never pay back. Who helped you out when the going was extra tough? With money? With emotional support? Time? Caring? What about your folks? Your community? Your schools? Your country? Is it time you payed some depts? Write down two or three things that you could do, to pay back a little bit. Where ' d you go wrong? What was the biggest failure in your life? Something that should have gone right but didn ' t. Forget the guilt, but put down, as best you can, why it happened. One of life ' s perpetual silver linings is the chance to learn from our mistakes. Have strings become ropes? We all start-out wanting our lives to be simpler than many we see around us. We start wanting time for ourselves but we lose that time because we start more things than we stop. Think about it! For every three things we finish or quit, we start four. List two or three commitments that to you are no longer worth the time and effort they take. Gently, but firmly, quit one of them. Now don ' t feel guilty. An over committed per- son does nothing well and gets no personal satisfaction. Seniors 49 Queen Mandy and escort Scott Kimmel pose with her court. The court is Lori Cain, with Mike Chaney.

Although the prom was from 9-00-12:00, the after-prom went on til wee hours in the morning. The after-prom was sponsored by the Kiwanis Club.

Have wheels will wreck Sophomores look forward to being able to drive. They don ' t look for- ward to wrecking cars, either their parent ' s or their own. Unfortunately it happens a lot. Slam went the breaks of one dri- vers ' training car because the driver didn ' t want to hit the chicken in the middle of the road! ' Why did the chicken cross the road? ' Just drive!!! Then we remember the famous story about the girl stopping at the overpass in Upland to wait for some- one to lower the drawbridge. ' They let people like this drive? ' The highway department was painting the white lines on the side of the road, when one student kept getting over too far and managed to transfer the paint from the side of the road to the right side of the car. Probably was great fun removing the paint. This student may soon have to remove mail boxes from his grill. Then driving near Muncie air- port I told the driver to turn into the main entrance. She did so at 35mph. and on two wheels. Afterwards, she laughed, and then she cried. These incidents were related by Mr. Jerry Shreves as he looked back over the wild experiences of teach- ing drivers ' training.

For many students this sale was their first ex- perience with an important class ac- tivity. Every class sets a goal a little higher than the class before them, then works hard to achieve that goal. Of course there are always those who don ' t want to bother with it, but then again there are also those that out do themselves. Prizes were given to top salespeople to en- courage sophomores to work a little harder. Class rings, as usual brought ex- citement to everyone that ordered one. The class decided to order the rings early so they would have them by November instead of in Febru- ary, when most of the other classes have received theirs. Prices skyr- ocketed with the surging price of gold. 62 Sophomores Sherry Clamme Mike Clark Niki Clark Paul Clark Jill Clause Colleen Cochran Jody Cole Julie Cole Linda Cole Anthony Collett Jim Confer Lisa Conner Linda Cook Mark Cook Gene Coronate Rick Cross Lynn Crouse Tim Curts Julie Dailey Homer Darnell John Davies Bill Davis Raymond Decker Renee Deffenbaugh Bill Derrer Lorri DeWitt Denise Dishman Wayne Dishman Danny Doublin Shelly Drummond Scott Dutro Paula Earls Steven Ehlers Gary Elkins Randy El wood Bill Ely Brenda Emshwiller Tamera Enochs Kitty Enyeart Beth Eppard 4 i Absentees don ' t forget the work that they must make up.

BHS never really dull Throughout the year many BHS students did such unusual things that no page in the yearbook could contain them; maybe in Mad Maga- zine, but not in the yearbook. These two pages are for those people. School is often boring, but never really dull. Students are in an end- less pursuit of activities to rid them- selves of the daily routine doldrums. Strange expressions and actions can be seen everyday, whether it be at a school skating party, in the publica- tions department, on the baseball field, in the art department, in the drama department, or at a class par- ty. Embarrassing and crazy moments happen all the time. Luckily a cam- era was on the scene to capture some of these special events.

You finally made it to where you got to do all of those things oth- er than studying from books. The world would be bigger and more ex- citing and you would get to do more stuff But it was so big and you didn ' t know your way around very well. The upper classes weren ' t very friendly and many of the teachers were impatient with your dumb mis- takes. Life was a bit more than you knew how to handle. Then after a while things actually did get better. All of the clubs and sports got underway and you felt like you really were a part of the school where you would be spending the rest of your high school career. Eventually you even knew just when to cheer at the pep sessions and you began to feel that the spirit stick should be yours. For the first time the Bruins seemed a part of you, instead of the representatives of the community. Just about then, when you knew your way around and had managed to get a seat beside your friends in all of your classes. Just when the cute one in third period started to pay attention to you. Just then, it was over. It went so fast that all of the new things were old hat before you even got so you could remember your locker combination. Now you are the establishment and all of the little people are starting where you started not very long ago.

Four freshmen were introduced to new responsibilities in leading their class: President Scott Stroup, Vice- President Stacy Hamilton, Secre- tary Kristine Reidy, Treasurer Tru- dy Moyer. These select people learned how to make decisions for their class members, not on personal feelings but trying to gage how their peers felt about important class mat- ters. Civics class was a new learning experience for freshmen. Not only did they read and study a textbook, but they read and discussed articles from Time magazine. Homecoming was quite a surprise for those experiencing it for the first time. Not just the Homecoming game was exciting, but also the events that always go along with it. Spirit week was new and different only for the freshmen, but it was en- joyed by all. The annual bonfire was held the night before the big game. Many frosh just weren ' t sure what it was going to be like, but they attended despite their inhibitions and had fun. To top off the week the hour long pep session on Friday was held at the football field as usual and will not be soon forgotten. Freshmen got their first peek at the school spirit Blackford possesses. The highlight of Homecoming, aside from winning the game, was the coronation of the queen. For Dixie Batten, who was chosen as the Princess of the Fresh- men Class, the night was especially thrilling. She and her escort Pete Griffith walked proudly onto the field and looked a little nervous but very happy. To draw an end to the 1979 Home- coming the Frosh held a party for all those who helped work on the float. It was held in Scott Stroup ' s garage, the site of the float ' s construction.

One advantage of being a teacher is having the summer off Mrs. Bev Valencic, Mr. Chis Coy, and Mrs. De- bra Gahbard visited France and Switzerland. Ms. Barbara Douglas took a cruise to Nova Scotia and Ber- muda. Some teachers had jobs to earn a little extra money during the sum- mer. Mr. Dan Baughey, Mr. Rick Teats, Mr. Gary Cheesman, and Mr. Mike Cooper did construction work. Others continued to serve the school. Mr. Jerry Shreves and Mr. Errol Washburn helped at athletic events and taught Drivers-Ed. Mrs. Wilma Hartzell, Mr. Joe Castelo, and Mr. John Leech taught summer gov- ernment. Writing an Indian novel and working for Ayr- Way were two ways Mrs. Kelsea Smith spent her summer. She also had many poems published. Running was a favorite sport on summer days for Mr. Doug Osborn and Mr. Rick Teats. Other teacher hobbies included camping, golf gar- dening, furniture refinishing, cook- ing, sewing, reading, swimming, and antique collecting. Mr. Noel Lewis leans on the doorway to the teacher ' s workroom as he talks with several teachers before the school day begins. 82 Faculty }  M • r fe N 1 MRS. PAT BOWDELL, B.A., M.A.: Adv. Clothing.

Teachers do pretty much the same things with their social lives as stu- dents. Mr. Coy and Mr. Osborn paint. Their job is done mostly in the sum- mer. Mr. Turley is involved in his church choir. Mrs. Thompson is a life guard during the summer. Mrs. Shuttleworth raises horses all year round. Mr. Baughey builds houses. He has just finished remodeling his own home. Late to bed, early to rise may be some of the teachers ' motto. Mrs. Year after year the Reflections contains a pic- ture of Doug and Greg Osborn running, this may be because they never stop. Valencic and Mrs. Shuttleworth drive from Deleware County to get to school. Some teachers have homework too. Some attend night classes at various colleges. They also go to conventions, meetings and social events. Teachers range in all ages. Some are just out of college, some are mar- ried, some have kids, and some are grandparents. Sum it all up and you find, teachers are REAL PEO- PLE! Mr. Brad Manner and Mr Lyndon Wall try to make a little string music. The faculty played the Kiwanis Club — it was the faculty in a rout. Faculty Informal 91 Mr. William Couch. Superintendent of Schools (A.B.. M.S.). Mr Couch has held this position in Blackford County since 1977. Board of Education members are Kenneth Simmons, sec; Joseph Pearson; John Jack- son, vice pres.; Robert Bales, pres.: and Rob- ert Price. SchooVs new happenings The possibility of a few new addi- tions to the high school was brought up this year. A new auditorium, which would benefit most of the students in one way or another, will hopefully be built in the near future. The choir, band and drama departments of the future will get the most benefit from it. The school may also be getting money for a vocational agriculture department and an automotive room. These are just some of the things that might be happening in the near future. Blackford High School was host to the district six, schools of Indiana, meeting in late October. Guest speakers were Dr. Jack Peterson, executive secretary of Indiana School Board Association, and Dr. Charlie Fields, executive secretary of Indiana School Board Association of Public School Superintendents. Shortening the school day by eliminating homeroom and replac- ing it with the addition of an activity period made this year unique. School keeps getting better every year. Someday students will be look- ing forward to the end of summer break to the start of a new school year!!! Maybe. In charge of curriculum, G. W. Anderson is an assistant superintendent. Mr. Anderson moved to the position this year. He was the former BHS principal. 92 County Administration Barb Graver and Joan Pearson are in charge ofpa Toll and bookkeeping. Their behind the scenes work is vital to the smooth functioning of the corporation. County Administration 93 A year of many changes This was a year of firsts for the administration. After the addition of the new principal, Mr. Michael Retherford, Many changes occurred at B.H.S. One of the changes was a new lunch program. It was changed to three thirty minute periods. An- other change was the elimination of homeroom, which caused school to start ten minutes later and dismiss ten minutes earlier. Every six days a one-hour activity period was scheduled. During this Besides handling tickets and organizing ath- letic events, paperwork is involved in Mr. John carbone ' s job as athletic director. time clubs and organizations met. Some of the activities available for students were swimming, cards, ping-pong, closed circuit TV, con- versation rooms, and tutoring in various subjects. Students ' futures were directed in part by the deans and guidance counselors. These five people helped students, from freshmen to seniors, with present problems and future plans. Mr. Michael Retherford ' s goal for his first year was to provide the best education possible for each stu- dent, limited only by the available resources. f A During senior year a student needs counsel- ing concerning future plans. Mr. Stuart Brown provides this help to senior Caria Dodds. Cooperation with the National Guard earns Mrs. Jayne Allen recognition in the form of a plaque from Guard officer Mr. Mark Waldron. 94 Deans And Principals Being Dean of Girls is not strictly a disciplin- ary job. Mrs. Joanne Gibson has a chat with junior Mehnda Miller during a break. Student schedules can cause many headaches for Mr. James Landis, guidance counselor. A swinging marble game relieves frustrations. Although Mr. Kenneth Ross is best known as the lunch room pa troller he is also in volved in a variety of paper work as the Dean of Boys. To make the schedule changes work coopera- tion was needed throughout the school. Mr. Michael Retherford and Mr. Noel Lewis led the way. Deans And Principals 95 Mrs. Anita McCardle assists with most ever- ything invovled in directing 15 athletic teams. Mrs. Anna Cook, above, supplies students and faculty with paper, pens, erasers, etc. from the BHS bookstore. Seeing that the A.V. equipement gets to the right place at the right time is Mrs. Carole Jones ' job. She is also the one to see for films. ■ p A t ¥7n ' , Mimeographing tests is but one part of Mrs. Jean Ann Rhodes ' job in the teachers ' workroom. She also puts up with constant banter as teachers check mail. 96 Secretaries Telephones never seem to stop ringing for Mrs. Frances Johnson, telechord operator, who answers the phone for everybody. Secretaries never done A secretary ' s work is never done. It is a constant tone of ringing tele- phones, clicking typewriters, and di- rect instructions. One may underestimate their im- portance in making the school func- tion. If it wasn ' t for them and their work where would we be??? They see that everything is in order, that papers are typed and filed, and many, many, other things are done. The secretarial staff consisted of Mrs. Virginia Vincent, principal ' s secretary and registrar; Mrs. Fran- ces Johnson, telechord operator; Mrs. Gladys Sanders, Guidance sec- retary; Mrs. Anita McCardle, recep- tionist and athletic secretary; Mrs. Carole Jones, A-V manager, — and bookkeeper; Mrs. Dealie Doods and Mrs. Barbara Shields, Librarians; Mrs. Jean Ann Rhodes, teachers ' workroom secretary. Keeping track of the students and helping them get through their years of high school is Mrs. Gladys Sanders ' job in guidance. Assisting Principal Micheal Retherford with the incredible amount of pressing paperwork is registrar Mrs. Virginia Vincent. Secretaries 97 Blackford bus drivers transport students to and from school each day. This year more rode the buses to conserve gasoline. Service 24 hour effort There is always food to be cooked, towels to be washed, and students to be transported back to their homes or bus stops. These are the jobs of the service personnel. Preparing lunches for approxi- mately 900 people is a job done by the cafeteria cooks. Lunches contin- ued to be served in smorgasbord fashion. This started at the end of ' 79 and carried over to this past year. Sweeping the floors, washing the windows and cleaning the restrooms are just some of the jobs of the custo- dians. Cleaning BHS is a twenty- four hour job, there is always some- one here throughout the day — and night. Through, rain, sleet, and snow, the bus drivers are on the go. The job of transporting students to and from school safely is their job. A new fea- ture this year was a shuttle bus. The bus left the school at 5:30 p.m. and took students to Hartford City and Montpelier. Although there was a fee of 25c per trip, it was cheaper than buying gas for a car to make the trip. 98 Service Personnel ?r?55?F Night custodians at the school are Greg Taylor, Bud Hornbaker, Bud Sims, Tom Bell, Betty Hornbaker, and Ruth Meyers. Planning the new lunch program and seeing students get a nutritional diet, is Mrs. Thelma Garrison, Food Service Director. Cafeteria workers see to it that the students ' meals are prepared for them on time. They also help students count their units. Cleaning is not the only work head custodian. Bill Shatto does, there ' s paper work too, so the school runs properly. Service Personnel 99 Some students still study Many Bruins still hit the books. Some classes required students to tear themselves away from the TV set for added work. Not all classes confined students to endless book work. Biology classes searched for leaves and tracked down innocent insects for collections. Classes do a variety of things. Adult living planned mock wed- dings. In another area, English stu- dents prepared masks for their Ju- lius Ceasar unit in Shakespeare. Chemistry students experimented with titration. Bruins enjoyed this added fun. But, they could still be found Hittin Books . Dissecting a cat is a highlight of advanced biology. Tammy Carnes, Debbie Neff, and Lori Hall work with their kitty.

Art classes supply the material and training needed for the students to initiate their creative ideas. Art Survey is required before a student can take other art classes. In Art Survey students learn the basics for each art class given. This makes it easier to decide in which area they would enjoy studying further. Experimenting is a part of art. Students must experiment at one Sean O ' Connell works on his painting in his fifth hour Drawing and Painting class. Many different techniques are used in this art class. time or another. Sometimes experi- ments lead to starting over, but oth- er times it leads to an original art piece. Art provides many ways for the students to express their ideas while creating, learning, and enjoying, one important part of their school cur- riculum. The ability to appreciate beauty and creativity will reward students all their lives.

Business skills aid future The main purpose in taking a busi- ness class is to gain skills for use in the world of work, or for education in special areas of business. When talking in her business classes about finding jobs, Mrs. Clau- dia Goodnight tries to emphasize that the person who leaves no stone unturned will usually find a good job. There are several business classes to choose from. Typing classes are usually most popular. Typing is probably the most widely used of all business skills, because whatever course of study or work a student plans to follow, typing can be used in one way or another. Skill classes such as shorthand are fun to teach according to Mrs. Good- night. Shorthand students can see their program each day. Business classes are one step to- wards reaching our goals ' in a field of our own. ' Business 105 Educacional; erziehung It would be fun to visit Germany, France, or Spain, but most students can ' t. So they take a foreign lan- guage. Foreign language classes aren ' t just learning how to speak French, German, Spanish, or Latin, although that is a big part of it. Each class also teaches about the different life styles and customs of each coun- try. This year ' s French classes were shown shdes of Paris. They also got a taste of some real French cuisine when they went to Cafe Johnell in Ft. Wayne. Doing plays and com- mercials in French were also a part of the class. In Spanish classes students learned how to build pinatas and to fix Mexican dishes. This year the students took their pinatas to the grade schools to share some Spanish traditions with the youngsters. Foreign language is a big part of education. Understanding the be- liefs and customs of others is almost as important as understanding our own. y Craig Teagle and Scott Confer take inventory ' 4t of the pinatas made in their Spanish class. r The pinatas were taken around to the grade Tim Lewis, Robin Lake, and Jill Pierson study their Latin together. Sometimes more is learned when students work in groups. Sometimes less. ■• . Mrs. Gabbard tries to make it easier for Cathy Moore and Brenda Harming to understand their French.

But, we aren ' t. It is only four short years. Our lives after high school . . . well, that seems too far away to begin thinking about. And if it wasn ' t for our guidance counselors we might never think about it. They help us plan our class sched- ule to match our interests. Some stu- dents want to be mechanics, electri- cians, or printers. They go to the Muncie Area Career Center. Others want to he doctors, teachers, or law- yers. They take college prep, classes. The counselors schedule college speakers from all over Indiana. They encourage us to take the PSAT and SAT tests. When we ap- ply to the college of our choice, they are on hand to answer our questions. Our counselors treat us as indivi- duals and help us realize our goals. Our counselors attempt to keep track of our careers, trying to help us succeed.

Splashing around in the pool . . . learning how to swim or practicing to get better. What does all of this have to do with learning? Simple, if bodies are alive or awake from physical activ- ity then minds become sharper. They think more clearly, and excess energy is expended, which makes people more apt to sit in class and learn by paying more attention. Health classes also help students keep their bodies healthy. By learn- ing what is good or bad for the body, students can change harmful health habits into ones that eventually help in life. These things are important in helping us to achieve our school ' s motto of ' second to none. ' Health PE 111 Joe Schmidt smoothes down a chest for his Woods II teacher Mr. Jess Huggins. Some- times teaching this class can be an advantage for the teacher too. Tom Sharp uses his abilities on the handsaw in his Woods II class.

Welding is one of sev- eral things done in metals. 112 Industrial Arts Concrete value stressed Industrials Arts strives to teach things that will be of concrete value in later life. It teaches skills that may be used in job situations or around the home in personal living. Students learn to make furniture, to weld, to repair cars, to work with printing and dozens of other skills. All of the activities are geared to- ward teaching the students practical things to help them survive in our complex modern society. Industrial Arts also teaches stu- dents a variety of creative skills that will be of great value in the leisure time pursuits of Blackford gradu- ates. The combination of pride and en- joyment in creative activities, with the confidence and abilities growing from more practical skills have led the Industrial Arts department to be one of the strongest and fastest growing areas in BHS. In Industrial Arts the BHS spirit of accomplish- ment shines through. Roger Roberts, Jim Heflin, and Richard Sny- der work on finishing their chairs in their Woods II class. Individual work is also done in the class. Industrial Arts Gary Cheeseman — Dept. chair. Printing, I, II, Shop Math, Photog- raphy. Errol Washburn — Drafting I, II, III, Woods.

Saying the right words at the right time is an important part of life. Knowing the right pronunciation may make a good first impression. Being able to use the English lan- guage correctly can add an air of dis- tinction and further college work. English takes steps towards im- proving your vocabulary. In College Prep, English students work on Lat- in and Greek derivities to improve their vocabulary. The wider the vo- cabulary becomes the broader the communication spectrum. Education is just one thing that communication is used for. Commu- nication is als o important in finding jobs and meeting people. Communication is the first step to- wards meeting the challenges that arise ' in a field of our own ' .

Algebra II is to prepare students for Trigonometry and col- lege mathematics. The path to the future Becoming a doctor or great scien- tist was just a dream in grade school. As we entered high school and start- ed planning for college those dreams came closer to reality. Homework varied from running through the woods looking for leaves that belong in our collection due tomorrow, to studying for two hours for a big trig test. Studying over those puzzling calculus prob- lems and being not quite sure just how to begin made it very easy to want to give up. The Bruin spirit ap- peared just in time to give the little Margy Cimino carefully slides an unusual bug into the cup. Many Advanced Biology stu- dents spent hours collecting bugs in similar situations. boost that was needed. Science led to interesting things. Dissecting a cat? It sounds hard to believe but it has been the talk of the science classes for the past sev- eral years. Walking down the hall during the spring of the school year ' Cat ' talk can be heard everywhere. Crawling through weeds to sneak up on that unusual bug to add to the collection, cutting up worms and cats in biology, and cramming for a big chemistry test, somehow be- came fun for us because we were learning.

Science 117 Preparing for hardships Social Studies is like one big field trip. A visit to the past can take you back to view the trials of the first settlers in the United States or to events leading to the Viet Nam War. Social Studies helps us to under- stand how our laws and government work. It teaches us about the hard- ships our ancesters lived through to help us lead free and independent lives. Civics, a required freshman course, helps make the students bet- ter citizens. Civics, which means citizenship, helps to prepare the freshman for their future social studies classes. U.S. History is a required junior course. In this class the juniors learn all about how the U.S. became unit- ed. Understanding of the Boston Tea Party was gained by acting out the battle with paper wads in Mr. Man- ner ' s class. An explanation of each section of the constitution helps us to understand the backbone of our country. Government, a required senior course, helps us to better under- stand our system of government. Government teaches us how to do the dreaded income taxes. The stu- dents participated in mock trials, senate, and elections. Social studies classes are one step towards understanding the chal- lenges to come as we work ' in a field of our own. ' Phil Funkhouser, Carisa Chipman, Jeff Burkdull, Laura Horton, Loraine Van Camp take time out from their studying in Civics to relax for awhile. Scott Twibell can easily picture a battle scene of the Civil War, as he reads about the events in his U.S. History class.

Child Care, Adult Living, Con- sumer Management, Family Health, and Interior Decorating are also a part of the curriculum. At open house each year the Home Ec. Department displays the things they do in different classes. Interior Decorating class makes crafts to exhibit. The students in Brewin ' Singles demonstrates their cooking techniques. The Adult Living classes took a field trip to Muncie to see the movie Kramer vs. Kramer. This was to give students a chance to study a situation where a divorced father raises a young child. The Home Ec. Department tries to prepare students for life after high school We haven ' t changed our program much the last two years be- cause we wanted to improve what we are doing. We feel we have an excellent program and are looking forward to a few changes next year, explained Mrs. Pat Bowdell, Department Chairperson.

Clubs sponsored dances to make money for them- selves and for charity. Health Careers Club, for example, held a benefit dance to raise money for Lisa Hardin ' s family. The club raised $770.56 to help with the medi- cal expenses from her extended ill- ness. Fund raisers sprang up like weeds in the Bruin field.

Along with the four high school choirs, the Middle School Choir and the Junior High Choirs, the elementary choirs per- formed. The entire group of 450 stu- dents combine for the finale, Born to Be Free. Choir students also helped with the choir bake sale. They donated baked goods to be sold at centers in Montpelier and Hartford City. The choir department made nearly $700. A first for Blackford ' s Chorale was the trip to Taylor University for a combined clinic and festival. Choir students performed and listened to other choirs. In the afternoon the guest clini- cian. Dr. Charles Hirt, conducted the massed choirs in two numbers, Ja- cob ' s Ladder and How Excellent Is Thy Name. The year was topped-off by an end of the year picnic. Mr. Philip Turley sets the mood for the Fall Concert. County residents performed along with chorale and concert choir. The Swing Choir dances and sings to the beat. They gave many performances during the year. This is the FHA Ma, Pa, and Me Supper.

With only 14 members the club was still able to see several out- standing events. One of the year ' s highlights was a chance for club members to go to a Pacer basketball game. The club also attended a Komet hockey game, held a basketball tourney among members, and emphasized National Energy Education Day. The club ' s sponsors were Mr. Gary Cheesman and Mr. Dan Baughey. Two awards were established for the club this year. The purpose of the awards according to Mr. Chees- man is to recognize at least two outstanding students who have pur- sued Industrial Art courses during their high school careers. The first award is the Industrial Leadership award. To receive this award the member must be enrolled in at least two I A classes during his senior year and must be an I A major. The second award is given to the member known throughout the de- partment for his dependability.

The Land of the Dragon, by Madge Miller is the story of Jade Pure, portrayed by Jan Schwartz- kopf and Ronda Manning, who is held in the clutches of her evil aunt. Precious Harp, played by Rusty Needier. Precious Harp ' s main ob- jective is to keep Jade Pure from marrying before her 18th birthday, so that Precious Harp might be next in line to claim the throne. Tilly Hunsdorfer (Amy Sills) talks to Nanny (Linda Tyler) in The Effects of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds. Ruth, portrayed by Pam Bales, tells Beatrice, Babette Spain, about Tilly and the Science Fair in the Marigolds.

Masque Gavel members and their parents were served roasted chick- en prepared by Mr. Robert Coscar- elli, co-sponsor. The Thespian Society produced the winter play, The Effects of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds. The Speech team had a fairly good season. The team won the third place Sweepstakes award at the Blackford speech meet. The Debate team received many ribbons and trophies at home and away meets. Lighting is important to a good play produc- tion. It takes much planning and work as shown by two hght crewmen. Masque Gavel members and parents are being served at the annual carry-in banquet.

The highlights of our season were winning the conference and finishing second in the section- al. The team was led by seniors Gregg Osborn and Greg Mounsey. These two finished first and fifth in the Conference and first and second in the sectional. Ozzie went on to win the regional, placed fourth in the semistate and 25th in the state cross country meet. Overall the team had a 3-4 season with wins over Bluffton Muncie North and Jay County. Seniors Osborn and Mounsey will be leaving the cross country team but returning next year will be sophomores Robbie Bratton, Aaron Pierce, and Dean Brown who ran third, fourth, and fifth and also Mike Herr and Les Riggs who will be sen- iors next year.

Under the guidance of second year coach Mr. Mick Clay, they finished with an 8- 8 record for the season. Last year ' s disappointing 3-14 season record and 2-4 conference record jumped to an 8-8 season mark and an impressive 5-2 CIC mark. This was good enough for second place in the conference. The entire varsity squad was composed of underclassmen. Ju- nior Doug Mills was the No. 1 sin- gles man all year. Doug ' s 13-5 was the team ' s best record. Junior Rusty Needier was the No. 2 man and had a 9-7 record. Singles play was rounded out by sophomore Bill Davis. Bill owned a 10-5 season record. Juniors Doug Goetz and Scott Twibell played No. 1 doubles and finished with a 9-7 record. Juniors John Faas and Rog- er Sch warzkopf teamed up for a 1-6 record in No. 2 doubles. Several other teammates combined during the season for the extra doubles matches. Coach Clay cited Doug Mills as the team ' s most consistent player. This was Doug ' s second year in the No. 1 singles slot. Doug was also named all conference for the sec- ond year in succession. Honorable Mention went to Doug Goetz, Scott Twibell, and Rusty Needier. The Bruins were eliminated in the sectional after a 4-1 win over South Adams in the first round, when in the second round they lost to a tough Jay County team by an 0-5 score. With all varsity members return- ing the team should have a strong nucleus for next year ' s varsity squad.

This year the Delta Eagles derailed the Bruins in the championship game 60-53. The Bruins did have school bright spots as juniors Dave Dickey and Brett Townsend averaged 10 and 12 points a game.

As usual the Bruins downed the Panthers 72-49, this marked their 12th straight victory without a de- feat against the varsity Panther roundballers. Besides being second in the scor- ing department, Stroup led the team in rebounding. He had 188 rebounds while Townsend hauled down 165. Senior Dave Spencer led the team in field goal percentage with his 45% coming mainly on 20 footers. Senior Kent Roush led the team in steals and assists with 56 and 100 for the 23 game season. Varsity Basketball 167 Dave Spencer unleashes one of his rainbow shots from the baseUne in spite of the Delta Eagle. Spencer hit 45% of his shots. B-ball crowds dwindle Where are the fans? As many co aches put it, the home crowd is the team ' s best sixth man. In that case the Blackford Bruins were weak off the bench this year. Whether the reason be lack of in- terest or a team that just isn ' t spec- tacular no one is sure, but the Bruins aren ' t the only school bitten by the no show bug. State wide, crowds are slipping slowly at about 5% yearly rate. But the Blackford crowds have dropped about 15% a year over the last three years. Although regular season crowds are down, students still get excited about sectional. In the 1979-80 sec- tional the Bruin crowds were plainly the most vocal, as the home crowd should be. Although the games with Eastbrook High School have be- come bitter rivalries, the adminis- tration can still credit Eastbrook for livening the Blackford student ' s spirit. It may be time the administration proposed some kind of incentive sys- tem to those who attend the games before there ends-up being more players at the games than fans. While Dave Spencer hops up to get a better look at things, Brett Townsend avoids a Peru opponent to put in two more points. 168 Varsity Basketball After a victory over Wes-Del int he first Although fans were sparse during the regular round of the sectional.

Varsity Basketball 169 Combined record 23-8 Frosh set win record The 1979-80 Freshman team bounded through the most success- ful season for a freshman team in BHS history. Coach FogweWs Ted- dybears (in A and B action) had a record of 23-8. The A team was 13-5 while the B was 10-3. Although Coach Clark ' s Cubs did not have an impressive a record, 8- 12, he felt his kids learned well. Leading the Cubs throughout the season were sophomores, Rob Brat- ton and Jack Norton. Bratton was the team ' s leading scorer with a sev- en point average and also hauled down the most rebounds. Norton led the team in steals and assists. Part of the Cub ' s problem could be blamed on the promotion of two of their starters, Bill Davis and Tom Sharp, to the varsity level midway through the season, after which the Cubs lost four of five games. The highlight of the freshman season was a championship at the Marion Tourney. It was the first time a team from Blackford County had won the Marion Tourney.

Jim ' s season high was a 6.5 against Madison Heights. Coach Clay said the team should be particularly strong next season due to the experience and practice put in by the team. He thought pos- sibly as many as five individuals could and should advance to the state meet. The Bruins placed sixth in their own invitational against many top ranked teams including eventual state champs Warren Centpal.

Karen Hutson also tied the school record in the 440 by running a 1:05. Marcia Brown placed fourth in hurdles at sectional and advanced to regional.

Girls Track And Gymnastics 181 Fettig, Boise, 10th and 16th CMxm slips to 19th spot Greg Osborn started the season with a dream. He ended it with a heartache. Osborn aimed his whole season to- wards winning the state champion- ship in the mile. At one point during the year he had the best time in the state. He was seldom pushed as few of his competitors were even in his class. He breezed through the sec- tional and finished second in the re- gional, despite an injured hamstring. Then came the state meet. Osborn still was suffering slightly from the hamstring problems and worse, had received a series of injections on the days immediately preceeding the race. At race time he looked weak and pale but at the end of two laps he was just a step behind the leader. Then, as the leader turned it on, Greg couldn ' t answer and lagged further and further behind. Finally he finished a disappointing 19th of 20. The evental champion. Brad Jones from Anderson, had beaten, and been beaten by, Osborn in previous meets. But a championship for Os- born was not to be. As a team, Blackford was very successful this season as they fin- ished 19-4. That includes second in the conference and the Blackford In- vitational. Outstanding perfor- mances were turned in by Kevin Fettig and Tod Boise. Fettig finished tenth in the state in shot put while Boise was 16th. Other excellent per- formances were turned in by Osborn and classmate Greg Mounsey. They finished 1-2 in the 880 at the Lime City Relays and sectional. Willie Myers and Scott Kimmel also did well in pole vault and discus. A tragic end to a great season. Gregg Osborn rounds turn four of the fourth lap of the mile at the state meet. He finished 19th. State competitor Kevin Fettig heaves the shot a personal best 54 ' at the state meet. That was good enough for 10th in the state. 182 Varsity Track Bruin sprinter Scot Stallsmith goes all out in the 100m at the CIC meet. Stallsmith finished fifth in the heat.

Bruins fall in sectional Mistakes prove costly i fc: :t -v Wf ! f ' r . ' ,-. L £ ahta,Jttr t For the second year in a row disas- ter struck a talent ladened Bruin baseball team in game one of the sectional. This year the Bruins fell to Jay County, 6-2, a team the Bruins had beaten earlier in the season 12- 4. As head coach Craig Moore plainly put it, We choked and that ' s all there is to it. He went on to say the team was nervous and was a victim of tourney inexperience. The Bruins committed five errors in the section- al game and Sophomore John Twi- bell lost the first game of his high school career.

He finished 9-1 and still owns a sparkling 0.87 ERA. Other outstanding pitchers this season were junior Craig Rees and sopho- more Steve Strine. Rees was 2-0 with a 1.75 ERA while Strine was 5- with a 1.26 ERA. The team batting average was .282. Senior Gary Langdon led the averages with a .365 average and was followed by junior Chris Town- send with a .325. Townsend also had the most RBI ' s and homeruns with 29 and 6 respectively.

Although the Blackford freshman squad was 4-2, several freshmen saw junior varstiy action which could help account for the two losses. Leading the JV pitchers was soph- omore Arron Pierce who was 6-0 with a 0.95 ERA including a one hit- ter and a no hitter. He was followed by classmate Roger Rinker who was 3-0. Junior Greg Anderson was 2-0 JV second basemen Marty Rhodes gives ad- vice to batgirl Sindee Musser.

He was followed by sophomore Mike Ludwig at .371 and Banter at .314. The freshman squad was led by four individuals. Hitting was headed by Ed Holdcroft and Bill McAffee and pitching was done by Brian Twi- bell and Jamie Willmann.

Coach Hay lettered seven golfers, Chris Halley, Doug Mills, Roger Schwarzkopf John Faas, Scott Con- fer, Ben Hodgin, and Dennis Tyler. He often used others to compose the five man varsity team.

Throughout high school, students collect a common past. These memo- ries will last long after graduation. Friendship is a very special ele- ment of high school. You may never have the opportunity to get to know so many people, so well, as you have in high school. These friendships can last a lifetime. Graduation is only the end of a high school career. It is the begin- ning of a future in a field of our own. (Bottom Left) Sandy Nelson and Carrie Nor- ton enjoy examining their diplomas. On their laps lay blue silk roses, a gift to graduating girls. (Top Right) Vice president Cheryl Laymon and president Resa Boxell lead the Class of 1980 into the world of adulthood. (Bottom Right) It took so long, but went so fast.
