Many things contribute to Home- coming: the class floats, the game, the queen nominations, the crowning of the queen during the football game's half-time show, and the dance that night. The class float competition was very close. The sophomores' theme was Win to Knight and took the award for construction. The junior float took the award for creativity with the theme, Another Knight Another Vic- tory, and the senior theme was We Can Do Magic and they took the award for theme, winning the overall competition. The Homecoming theme, Knights In Shining Armor was present in each of the class float's themes. The floats,T S built during the week, added to the' interests of the colorful Homecoming Parade that proceeded down Main Street. Spirit Week was also a part of Homecoming as students' dress-up days included Peasant's Day, Royalty Day, Chivalry Day, and the traditional Dress Up and Purple and Gold Days.

. . . BSHS moves from tradition by June Watson he technological age arrived at BSHS in the form of nineteen new computers and Dr. Blaine's prized inter- com system. The data processing class, in its second year of existence, has twelve Apple II Plus computers and two Apple Il E's. Students began using the ma- chines the second day. of the course, and by the end of the semester were computer literate, said Virginia Bate- man, instructor. They were taught computer history applications and to technolog programming. Enrollment for the class was high, and Bateman hopes to add an advanced course to the program. Another area utilizing computers was the library. Three Apple's, one Texas Instruments, and one Atari were added over Thanksgiving of 1982, and this year the library aides learned to use them. Kay Coen, head librarian, said they were valuable in processing overdue charges, and that a few teach- ers used them to figure grades. One technological advance that especially pleased the administration was Dr. Blaine's coveted intercom sys- tem. The intercoms enabled the offices to communicate more effectively with the classrooms, and were available for emergencies. Beginning the day by hearing, Hey, be careful out there! became a new Blue Springs tradition due to seven years of hard work on Dr. Blaine's part.
