Of course, the main goal of the school year was to educate the students at BHS. However, the actual academic learnings were not the only things to be remem- bered this year. In fact, what was probably more memorable to most students than whatever lessons took place during each of the day's seven periods was what has been termed student life. Although the happenings of this distinc- tive lifestyle occurred year round--not just during the nine months that school was in session--it was the combination of coming back to school, coming back into the circle of friends, and coming back into contact with school society that created the student life. tLower Left?

Buckling up vs being cool Junior Robert Kidd smiles and waves goodbye--with his seat belt strapped on-- as he pretends to drive away. In the summer of 1987, wearing seat belts, or safety belts, became mandatory in the state of Indiana. The driver of the vehicle and the front seat passengers were required by state law to buckle up. As cruising and other such car- related activities were a major part of high school life, this law affected many BHS students. Few students already wore their seat belts regularly before the law was enacted. Some admitted to buckling up only when their parents were with them and had asked Coften toldl them to. Perhaps a reason for this was that wearing the seat belt was seen as un- cool, and some would rather be cool than protected in an accident. As students became increasingly aware of the consequences of not wearing a seat belt--often through driver's ed., films, or unfortunately sometimes through ex- periences in car accidents, or even by way of a monetary fine--many saw the com- mon sense angle of the issue and did, in fact, strap on those seat belts. Senior Joe Nichols said, I almost never drive anywhere without my seat belt, and I sure wear it while I'm cruising! Students like Joe found it possible to drive safely and responsibly while not feeling like a dweeb or an outcast at the same time. With the new law students have begun to put on their seat belts more frequently. Hopefully, they had also begun to buckle up everytime they got into a car. Robert Kidd waves again from behind the wheel and a completely crunched front end. Robert was trying to simulate in this photo the results of such an impact and as he shows with a reassuring wave, seat belts can save us from injury. copy 8. layout by Danise Alano 8
