in Motiong Our Experiences - Anonymous A variety of educational opportunities were open to the Bonita Vista student, but only he could decide to take advantage of these. If he came to school merely because he was required to, as some do, learning was no more than the memorization of a few facts for the next day's test, only to be forgotten within a week's time. But if he came to learn, as most do, learning was an experience which would enrich his lifeg knowledge was of lifelong value. Whether through working with others or individually, a student could benefit from his years of study at Bonita Vista.

ecord Bid Students Involved Many Bonita Vista students decided to become a part of the government of their school this year. Sixty people petitioned in the first Congress election, and these high figures continued in elections throughout the year. This enthusiasm contributed to making 1974-75 a suc- cessful year at B.V. In Spirit Week Slave Auction Good Times - Lunchtime Acti ities Several of the most successful activities this year took place during lunch. Tournaments were a favorite, ranging from volleyball and basketball to arm wrestling to ping pong. Students also enjoyed movies, especially of Frankenstein and Dracula. Tug-of-wars, lemon eating, hula hooping, and balloon tosses were favorite lunchtime contests, and competition was close between the classes. Band auditions proved a great success, and many people enjoyed listening to the speakers that Bonita.Vista hosted during lunchs. Lunch seemed a favorite time for club-sponsored sales, raffles, and auctions, as well as meetings. On the whole, lunch appeared to be the best time of the day for the majority of the students. Swingers and Jitterbuggers Get Together at Homecoming One of the biggest weeks of the year was Homecoming Week. With the theme of Retrospective-a-GoGo, students got into the swing of things, dressing in the style of the 50's and 60's. The week included lunchtime competitions, such as jumping rope, limbo, a tug- of- war, and even Elvis Presley contest. Spirit reached its peak on Friday during the pep assembly when classes competed with skits, and even faculty dressed up for a skit. The Barons killed Marion that night in the Homecoming game, but unfortunately queen Erin Blankenburg was crowned in the rain. However, even a rainy week couldn't dampen the Homecoming spirit.
