For many, high school is merely a three or four-year preview of the rest of their lives, in which case the answer would be “no.” Others, however, find the same years are more a time to be initially ex- posed to the adult world, and see others in a more complex man- ner. For these fortunate, there really is a life after high school. Former BSHS instructor Angela Wind shared a very in- tuitive bit of advice when she ad- monished, “Don’t be a snob! There is something you can learn from EVERYBODY.” She was very right; sometimes we tend to forget that there are many sides to every issue and all people are indeed created equal in the respect that all have their strengths and weaknesses. Perhaps the best lesson that can be taken from 1984 is that of responsibility—not in the con- ventional sense, but more com- pletely. We’ve watched one another make choices about life. Some conformed to the attitudes of their parents or friends; others made their own way, deviating from what they’d been taught as “always.” The point is that the “respon- sibility,” the consequences for each of your actions, is all your own. It can’t be blamed on Mom or the dog or Aunt Harriet or President Reagan or Herman from next door. Intellectually everyone probably realizes there is a point at which he begins to answer only to himself. Emo- tionally this realization is far more elusive. It is also highly in- timidating and quite inevitable...And learning how to handle this realization is perhaps the very best (and most impor- tant) part of 1984.

Homecoming ’83 With the theme “There’s No Place Like Home,” the BSHS Homecoming began offically with a Friday evening “Battle of the Sexes” pep rally. In the parade Saturday morn- ing, the junior and senior classes tied for first place in the float competetion. The sophomore class did not participate in the parade because they were incor- rectly told their entry was dis- qualified. Highlighting this year’s festivities was the return of former Bonner Homecoming Queens dating back to 1945. During half-time of the game, Sophia DeLeon’s name was called as the 1983 Homecoming Queen. The Braves defeated Blue Valley in the game, and Homecoming ’83 concluded with the dance. In keeping with the “Wizard of Oz” theme, Stuco re- created an “Oz” scene in the com- mons area, complete with a replica of Dorothy’s house, a yellow-brick road and a large mural of “Oz” characters.

Events 11 YOUNGSTERS ENJOY THE magical world of the Renaissance Festival just as much as the older generation. SIR ERIC AND HIS FOLLOWERS. Stan Thompson, junior; Randy Freeman, sophomore; and Kevin Ritchie, a 1981 BSHS graduate, stalk the grounds near the well-known “Fight- The-Knight” booth. 12 Events SENIOR EMILY THOMAS works diligently in the booth she was assigned to this year. enaissance Many Bonner students describe their experiences at the Renaissance Festival as something almost in- describable. Jeff Walker, a senior who spent his weekends working at a turkey booth during this year’s Festival, said, “The Renaissance Festival was a great experience. I had the chance to meet people that were my own age while I worked.” The Renaissance Festival is a gathering of craft- smen and theatrical performers out to re-enact a period in time that many people don’t know anything about—a period almost buried in the pages of history. Junior Randy Freeman, who worked at the Festival, said, “I have a lot of fun working at the Festival; it’s like living a great big fantasy game.” The Renaissance Festival, which is held on the grounds next to the Agricultural Hall of Fame out- sit e of Bonner, is an authentic recreation of a 16th oeitury village in the midst of a harvest celebra- tion. Upon entering the gates of the lushly wooded shire, the past becomes the present as visitors step back to a time of simple pleasures. More than 2,000 colorfully clad lords and ladies populate the village. Peasants and townfolk, minstrels and mer- chants, artisans and jesters mingle with royalty and guests in a hamlet where merriment reigns. Nine stages feature continuous entertainment of light-hearted drama and music. Mirth abounds in village lanes where street acts, magicians, storytellers, rope walkers, mimes and troubadors perform for the delight of passers-by. Lining the winding paths of the festival are the hand-hewn shops of 4 50 hand picked craftsmen from 15 different states. Their work exemplifies the arts produced during the Renaissance. Astrologers, psychics and Tarot card readers add mystical moments to this lushly wooded fantasy game come true. — by Kevin Luttrell BONNER STUDENTS Gerri Neal and Jimmy Burris take a break while working at the festival. Events 13 BSHS W orks ‘Miracles’ William Gibson’s THE MIRACLE WORKER heartily christened the newly-constructed Pioneer Junior High stage for a rare three-night perform- ance, Nov. 17, 18 19, 1983. Upon arrival, 19-year-old Annie Sullivan, por- trayed by Emily Thomas, finds the Keller family in turmoil over tiny tyrant Helen, portrayed by Jonna Matthews. Captain Keller, (Christopher King), sternly rules with a secretly soft heart. Kate Keller, (Kathryn Thorn), yearns to reach her little daughter, sweetly cajoling Captain Keller into see- ing each situation her way. Cynical young James, (Randy Freeman), resents his stepmother, pities his half-sister, and wishes desparately to impress his impossible father. Finally, slinging unsolictied ad- vice at all who cross her path, Aunt Ev, (Venita Pine), is the definitive nosy relative who spent her visit munching in dismay at the others’ antics. After being assured by the doctor, (Kevin Lutrell), that Helen’s childhood illness was merely acute congestion, the Kellers are greatly relieved Soon, however, Kate learns that Helen’s fever has had more serious consequences, leaving the child both deaf and blind. As Helen grows older, the family tries to adjust. She is taken to countless specialists, every one offer- ing no hope, and many suggesting institutionaliza- tion. In a “one-more-letter” gesture to appease his wife, the Captain writes Dr. Anaganos, (Chris Thomas), who thereby sends Annie Sullivan, a stubborn and near-blind fighter. Annie pushes Helen into a world of civility, social rules, and ultimately language, haunted throughout by her own difficult past. Through the course of all Helen and Annie’s troubles, the others of the Keller household are busy discovering each other—and themselves. —by D. L.

Events 15 “I Ought To Be In Pictures” Relationships can be complex and frightening, to say the least. We worry about rejection, disclosing too much, playing it safe by living alone, or worry- ing about tomorrow. Is it worth it? Is love worth it? This year’s spring play, “I Ought To Be In Pic- tures,” emphasizes this point quite well. Through understanding and caring, Herb Tucker (Chris King) and his daughter Libby (Linda Sedgwick) find out that relationships are the most precious things that there are. Director Bari Foote did an outstanding job on this year’s spring play. She got the point Simon was trying to make across very well — Don’t be afraid of relationships, they might like you. Crew members included: Vicki Wells, sound manager; Susan Brazeal, assistant director and lighting manager; Kenny McAffee, Burt Tabor, Hardy Loehr, Steve Johnson, Chris King, construc- tion; Kim Beatty, Lori Price, ushers; Jackie Taylor, make-up; Victor Ayers, Krissy Matlock, lighting.

Jan. 16-20 was K.I.S.S. (Keep In School Spirit) week. Each day students from each grade com- peted by dressing up in a class spirit competition. On Tuesdsay, a mini-parade, similar to Homecoming, was held in the gymnasium. Members of the pep band, spirit activities, PEER, and the junior and senior classes took part. At the mini- parade, each of the king and queen candidates were asked questions, and then students were sent back to their ap- propriate classes to vote. Jamie Creten, wrestling, and Rob Stewart, boys’ basketball, were crowned queen and king at the dance that night, respective- y- Stuco President Angie Smith, senior, said, “I’m really glad we tried a Sportswarming. I hope this event becomes a tradition.” AMONG FHH WINNING entries was the Senior Class mini- float, pictured top. PEER also contributed a float, driven by senior Amy Proctor.

Events 2 1 Winter Wonderland “Attendance was low but Christmas spirit was high. Everyone attending seemed to be enjoying themselves,” said Jill Jenkins, a junior who attend- ed the annual Christmas Dance. Held on Dec. 17, this year’s dance was spon- sored by the Student Council. Previously, the Pep Club had sponsored the event. With the theme “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas,” the dance decorations were silver and white. Approximately 20 couples attended, the event which saw Santa Claus crown junior Kim Beatty as queen. Kim’s attendants were Suanne Chayer, Tammy Burnam, and Jean Mills — all juniors. I he queen candidates were also featured at an all-school assembly where they answered both serious and trick questions. The dee-jay for the event was Brad Bond, a 1981 Bonner graduate. I he decorations and dee-jay were good, but the attendance could have been better,” said Mark Gillem, senior.

Prior to the dance, the junior class decorated the clubhouse, selecting “Dare to Dream” as the theme. The prom featured a disc jockey from Sound Dynamics who played different types of music. Finger food and punch were also served, and many couples danced until they ap- peared completely worn out. Overall, with approximately 170 students in attendence, the 1983-84 Junior-Senior Prom was judged successful by its spon- sors, and, quite likely, by many students there. —by Kevin Luttrell DANCIN’ THE NIGHT AWAY, Jan- nell Wasson and Peter O’Brien take a quick break.

Bonner played well in finishing the year 4-5, but the ball seemed to not bounce their way. “The kids played real hard,” said Joe Mintner, head football coach. “I was so proud of them.” The Braves posted wins over Sumner Acadamy, Blue Valley, Turner, and Washburn Rural to finish fifth in the league with a 2-4 record. Bonner’s final two wins made them the district runner-up with a 2-1 record. The Braves lost to Olathe South for the championship. Statistically, Bonner was led by a number of players. Rob Stewart, Hughes Suffren, and Randy Reed were all at the top of the EKL in their specialties. I he Braves will be looking to rebuild next year as Bonner graduates 19 seniors. This year’s juniors and sophomores will form a nucleus of a good team next year. —by Brad Biles LEADING THE OFFENSE, quarter- back Kandy Reed calls the play.

The squad placed second at the Tonganoxie Invitational and took a surprising third at the KCKCC Tournament. The squad was hopeful of attending the state tournament, but the Bravettes were upended by Washburn Rural. “I was real pleased with the season,” commented head volleyball coach Shirley Vaughn. “There were a few times I thought we should have won when we lost, but we stood our ground when we came against some good competition.” Sophomore Kathy Bates and junior Jean Mills were named to the All-EKL team at the conclusion of the year. Bates was third on the team in serving points with 133 and second in spikes with 99. Mills was second in serving points with 135 and she was the leader in spiking with 115. Kristi Finley, sophomore, was the leading scorer for the Bravettes with 193 points. —by Brad Biles 3 4 Sports COACH VAUGHN TALKS to her players during a home match.

Their best day came at the Paola Invitational where they placed second. Junior Tim Ballou, a two-year state qualifier, and Troy Kindred, a senior and previous state qualifier, failed to qualify for this year’s state meet. The harriers are looking to next year as they graduate just three runners. Coach A1 Morey commented, “They ran as well and placed as well as they had been predicted by myself and area coaches, which means we were an average team with a few above-average runners.” —Brad Biles WA11 INC FOR I HE RACE to begin are Al Cummings, Jeff Foster, James Downing, and Aaron Brizendine and David Blackwell.

Sports 3 7 Girls’ Basketball It was a season to remember for the Bravettes as the squad finished the year with the best record in Bonner history at 15-6. The Bravettes and Turner tied for se- cond in the EKL, with both schools behind powerful Miege—this year’s 5A State champs. The Bravettes came away with two tournament trophies during the course of the season. Bonner finish- ed third in the Paola-Ottawa Tourna- ment and placed first in the DeSoto In- vitational for the second year in a row, defeating DeSoto in four overtimes. At the Sub-State tournament, Bonner lost the first game to Shawnee Heights and the girls saw their dream to the State tournament fly away. Bonner had a great year because they played fine team ball and because of the play of the underclassmen. Sophomores Kathy Bates and Kristi Finley played super during the year and junior Jean Mills was a workhorse on the inside. The seniors, Susan Stephan, Joyce Hickmon, Mel Holliday, and Theresa Sanders, all contributed to the outstan- ding year and will lx? missed, but the outlook seems bright as Bonner brings back an experienced ball team. —Brad Biles CELEBRATING THEIR VICTORY at the DeSoto tourney are the Bravette seniors, Mel Holliday, Susan Stephan, Joyce Hickmon, and Theresa Sanders.

They were co-champions of the F.KL and won the Ottawa-Paola and Tonganoxie tournament titles. Actually, the Braves could have lost only one game. Three of the losses were by a total of five points. Bonner Springs opened the season with a 71-70 loss to Lyndon. One week later, Bonner Springs avenged the defeat, topping Lyndon, 57-37, in the finals of the Ottawa-Paola tournament. Bonner’s other losses were to Sumner Academy and to Blue Valley, both on last second shots; and to Bishop Miege. Undoubtedly, one of the highlights of the season was a 52-50 win over Bishop Miege. Rob Stewart netted a long jumper at the buzzer to cap a thrilling comeback. The Braves trailed by 10 points late in the game before an exciting rally set up the final shot. Bonner Springs won the Tonganoxie tournament title for the second straight year with a 56-50 win over host Tonganoxie. Hughes Suffren, who was named to a variety of all-state and all-area teams and the EKL squad, led Bonner Springs in both scoring and rebounding. The 6-3 senior averaged 19.48 points and 11.1 re- bounds per game. Mike Martin, a junior, who also won a variety of honors, had a 15.04 points per game average. Rob Stewart rounded out those with top scoring averages, netting 10.88 tallies per game. David Hall started all games for the Braves and had a 7.25 average. James Downing started during the early part of the season, but was sidelin- ed with a knee injury. Bruce Tyner, junior, round- ed out the starters during the final half of the year. He averaged 7.68 points per game. Randy Reed filled the “sixth man” role and had a 1.95 scoring average. Underclassmen coming off the bench in- cluded Jerold Fletcher, Brad Palmberg, Carlos Williams, Jeff Foster, Joe Sechrist, Wayne Avant. SENIOR HUGHES SUFFREN wipes his brow after placing his name in the Kansas State 5A tournament record book.

Wrestling Led by a group of five grapplers that qualified for the State wrestling meet, the Bonner wrestling squad had another successful season. The Braves were led by seniors Mike Holloway (3rd at State) and James Shevling (1st at Sub-State, unable to wrestle at State because of illness), juniors Ryan Smith (3rd at State) and Eric Bauswell (4th at Sub-State), and sophomore David Blackwell (4th at State). Bonner started out the season by winning a triple dual at Shawnee Mission West, but went on a three dual skid, losing a triple dual at Blue Springs. The Braves got right back on the winning track by grab- bing four straight duals. The Bonner grapplers then won their last dual after losing the two before. In tournaments, the Braves best showing came when they wrestled at home in the Bonner Invita- tional and the EKL championships, where the Braves took second at both meets. Seniors Mike Holloway and James Shevling add- ed their names to the top wrestlers in Bonner history. Holloway is tied for third in career wins with 82 and is sixth and 10th, respectively, for best four-year record (82-15) and best career record. Shevling finished his career with the sixth best career record and career wins (78-10). He is also tied for ninth for the best one-year record, (2 3-1). Junior Ryan Smith made the record books with the 12th best one-year record, (26-2). —by Brad Biles THE THREE SENIOR GRAPPLERS James Shevling, David Tucker, and Mike Holloway smile for the camera.

Not only did Coach Joe Mintner’s teams face problems caused by inexperience, but were plagued with cold, rainy weather. Of the 43 boys and girls out for the squad, 2 1 were competing for the first time. Only two Bonner Springs’ boys qualified for the state track meet. James Downing, junior, earned a berth in the state javelin competition. Downing placed second in the EKL. Tim Ballou qualified for the state in the 3,200 meter run. At the EKL, Ballou, a junior, was fifth. Other individuals placing at the EKL for the boys were: Roy Stumbough, shot put; Bill Kelly, javelin; Troy Kindred, 880-yard run. Only two individuals placed for the Bravettes at the EKL meet. Amy Reed took sixth in the shot put and Joyce Hickmon was fifth in the long jump. Other Bravette points were scored by relay teams.

In addition, letters were presented to BSHS athletes par- ticipating in golf, track, boys’ tennis and basketball. Athletes who lettered in fall sports were honored at a separate ceremony held in November. Perhaps the most touching por- tion of the banquet came when Carl Taylor, head basketball coach, presented his awards. Taylor resigned at the end of the 1983-84 school year to accept a position at Junction City. During the ceremony, he received a large photograph of the Braves’ state championship team. RECEIVING ATHLETE of the year awards were seniors Susan Stephan and Hughes Suffren. Stuco Successful Year For Stuco With the development of many new projects, it was a successful and exciting year for the BSHS Student Council. Stuco began their busy year by sponsoring a “Brave the New Wave” mixer after a home football game. This was one of many Stuco-sponsored mixers held during the year. One of the biggest projects for the council was the coordination of the annual Homecoming celebration. With the theme, “There’s No Place Like Home,” BSHS became the Land of Oz. As a new idea, Stuco invited former queens to return to BSHS for the parade and a special post-game reception. Prior to the Homecoming festivities, Stuco sponsored a new activity for the student body — a Challenge of the Sexes competi- tion. Another new project in- ititiated by the group was the creation of Sportswarming, an event to recognize winter athletes. Other activities for Stuco in- cluded cleaning the trophy case, visiting residents at the Kaw Valley Manor, decorating the bulletin board, and Teacher Ap- preciation Day. Stuco also sponsored a volleyball tournament for the student body and assumed spon- sorship of the Christmas Dance.

The spirited group fared well at camp, bringing home five in- dividual ribbons, the “Super Squad” trophy, and the “Best Skit” award. Helping the student body win two sportsmanship awards highlighted the year for the squad. The first of these sport- smanship awards was presented at the Tonganoxie tournament, and the second award was presented immediately after the boys’ basketball squad claimed the state title. Fach BSHS cheerleader received a medal for her efforts.

PEER Members Care Helping students to learn about themselves and to learn more about dealing with others are some of the many goals of the BSHS chapter of PEER (Positive Educational Experiences through Rela- tionships). During a fall workshop, student members of PEER are trained by professionals to develop their communication skills, problem-solving abilities and personal awarness. Then, after the training, members act as facilitators to other students who might need their assistance. The PEER group meets regularly during activity periods and after school to talk about situations members have en- countered. In addition, the group sponsored a seminar on dealing with divorce and heard other support group speakers. “PEER teaches you an awfully lot about yourself,” said PEER member Amy Proctor. “It [PEER] is a very worthwhile experience.” ANGIE SMITH, JUNIOR, and Pat Cunningham, senior, take a break at a PEER meeting.

Some of the fall ac- tivities for the group included a Scavenger Hunt membership par- ty and “ghoul grouping,” where members modeled Halloween fashions. The chapter also stayed busy serving concessions at all home football games. In a major project, the group hosted the East District FHA- HERO Fall Conference, which brought 400 FHA’ers to BSHS. As a new activity, the chapter sponsored a Turkey Legs contest among faculty members, with Bobbie Ross, sophomore, bring- ing in the most votes for Mrs. Minges. As part of the Vocal Music Department’s Madrigal Feaste, FHA members served as waiters and waitresses. The Christmas season also brought an Elves’ Workshop where members decorated gingerbread men and women for the faculty and staff. To teach others about their organization, the chapter held an FHA-HERO week where members wore different types of clothing or badges to represent FHA. A Parent’s Night held in the spring saw the installation of new officers. Also at that time, seniors Rhonda Newton and Anita Daly were named outstan- ding members for the year and both earned state degrees — a first for BSHS.

Powder Puff Returns The lights came on at the Bonner High football field at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 24. However, the players who ran on to the field weren’t the varsity gridders. Instead, the players who began their warm-up exer- cises were the BSHS Kayette members, who were playing in the first Powder Puff game since 1979. The game ran extremely close with the Junior Sophomore team in the lead, 16-14, with 23 seconds left on the clock in the fourth quarter. However, during the last few seconds of the game, the senior girls carried the ball to their end zone to make the final score 22-16. Serving as coach for the senior squad was Mr. Tim McGinnis. The juniors and sophomores were coached by Mr. Carl Taylor. Overall, the game was a success not only for the senior girls but also for the Kayettes, who raised a modest $295 for their efforts. “I was very pleased with the turnout and everyone seemed to be having a lot of fun,” com- mented Marcy Benz, Kayette president. All proceeds from the game went to a worthy cause. —by Jill Jenkins ADDING SPIRI T AND HUMOR to the Powder Puff game were “cheerleaders” Ricky Ochoa, David Tucker, Rob Stewart, Randy Reed, and Mike Holloway, all seniors.

Afterwards, a stuffed briefcase and a huge file drawer crammed with index cards are lugged to the car, and the figure, the debater, is off for a 4:30 appointment with the school van. This year’s resolution was “Resolved: That the United States government should establish uniform rules governing the procedure of all criminal courts in the nation.” The uniformity, the rules, the pro- cedures, and the justification are left up to the affir- mative team. Alternating affirmative and negative in a standard tourney, the debater must know the issues...or at least act like he does. The first tourney for the BSHS squad was Oct. 22 at Junction City, where they posted a 4-11 record. The season picked up some later with a 6-4 mark at EK1. Dec. 3 and an overall 32-64 season record.

In my subject area, students learn skills — typ- ing, shorthand, business machines. I really get excited see- ing their progress and all they have learned at the end of the course.” Miss Sheley — “It is so rewarding when students are able to apply their new knowledge to their lives.” Mrs. Honacki — “Teaching is rewarding when you see that students are interested in learn- ing and they have made progress through your efforts.” MEMBERS OF THE USD 204 Board of Education include, first row from left, Elaine Jordan, Gail Shepherd, Diane Toland.

Leaders 8 3 Computer Craze —by Kevin Luttrell Students had a chance to ex- pand their skills this year as BSHS added four new Apple lie computers. A new class, Com- puter Programming, was added to the curriculum and is taught by Mr. Ken Clark. The new course teaches basic compter language and program- ming. However, students may venture into advanced areas such as graphics and programming their own games. In their spare time, students have gone as far as creating their own programs to lock disks by using secret entrance codes, onl to be broken by Mr. Clark. A student in computer pro- gramming class will create pro- grams to find averages, do tax equations, and even produce fluc- tuating graphs that will change according to the data entered each day. The many students hovering over computers in class, during ten-minute breaks and after school seems to indicate that BSHS’s venture into the world of computers has been a success in the first year.

How do they decide what organizations are worthwhile? How exactly do the students ultimately benefit from these organizations? The best way to find out these answers is to go to a few of the sponsors and ask... “I believe in its four point program for success (Scholarship, Leadership, Service Character),” said Mrs. Knowles, citing a reason for sponsoring the National Honor Society. In- terested in it by her own membership at Wyandotte High school in 1945, she feels it is mi portant to BSHS because h “shows honor to intellect and academic achievement,” and sht enjoys “meeting and working with the ‘Cream of our gradua- tion Crop’ each year!” Mr. Ken Clark’s reason for sponsoring the debate squad is simple—“I like debate.” He em- phasizes the importance of debate in developing characteristics necessary for college students, such as research skills, speaking abilities, and organization of thought, and says participants I im McGinnis Industrial hducatum Roger Mignot Guidance Connie Minge English'I atin J«� eph Mintner Bmlnm lirian Murphy Soc ial Science Marsha Nelson English'! rem h Richard Nelson l.inda Orangkhadivi Special I-due at ion Georgia Pelf is hreda Reynolds Physical Education EXPERIENCED IN PROBLEM solving.

NHS Initiates 21 Twenty-one BSHS seniors became members of the National Honor Society in an impressive ceremony held April 10. This prestigious group represents the top 1 5 percent of their class. Being initiated into NHS is an important event in a senior’s life, and the support and reinforcement of the chosen sponser helps each member realize that his her potential must now be realized. To be eligible for NHS, students must rank in the top 2 5 percent of their class academically. Teachers then select the members and those chosen are honored in a special ceremony where they take the pledge, light their candles from the Sacred Flame, and receive their pins from a special sponsor. The amount of time and energy those selected students put into their many activities on the school scene and their achievements while they are involved make them stand out — and finally, be chosen to National Honor Society.

Since 1978 graduation ceremonies held in even years have been forced in- side; however, this grim tradition was broken by the 1984 class. At Commencement exercises, the class was presented by Don Stokesbury, principal; and Alton Morey, assistant principal. The class received their diplomas from Garland Smith, president of the USD 204 Board of Educa- tion. Class President Becki Bernard presented school officials with the senior gift, a new scoreboard. The class was then addressed by Valedictorian Anita Daly and Salutatorian Kathy Thorn. Baccalaureate services were held May 20 at the high school. The sermon was given by Father Dave Mouille.

RSW8 Us 129 ppppppsw Seniors ’84 Seniors ’84 Seniors ’84 It Started With A Dream Bonner fans would have never believed that we were ready for a first at the state basketball tournament this year, but from the very beginning the team worked toward their dream. Head Coach Carl Taylor even set a motto for the squad: “You gotta believe.” And, true to Taylor’s words, the Braves believed! The Braves went through the season playing like cham- pions and finished the regular season with a 16-4 record. One week before the State tournament, Bonner had become 5A Sub-State champions. At the state tourney held in Emporia, Bonner beat Winfield and Ward. Soon Bonner fans were set to see the No. 1 ranked 5 A team. Parsons, play our Braves. On the night of the game, it seemed that the fans of both teams were more nervous than the players themselves. The Parsons fans held up banners which read “Warm up the busses” and “Suffren’s Suffering,” but the Braves didn’t listen — they knew their squad would emerge victorious. T hroughout the entire game Bonner played with a strong defense. A rocky third quarter found the Braves trailing, but with an amazing comeback the action started to get rough. With 14 seconds left in the contest the Braves came out on top of a jump ball, caused by a tie-up. Bonner immediately called a time out with 6 seconds left. Bonner inbounded the pass to Rob Stewart, who found Mike Martin open. With other choice, Martin shot the ball! With both sides standing, the shot went through the hoop, and the Bonner fans went WILD!!! But Parsons called a time out with 2 seconds on the clock. When Bonner emerged from the time out, Braves’ fans were still wild, with a little help from Mike Martin, who came out of the huddle fired up as he encouraged the fans to get up and shout. Parsons took it out and a Viking grabbed the loose ball and aimed for the basket from about 20 feet. The ball was off its mark and a Viking came in and tipped the ball, but he missed. Another Viking came in from the other side and this time the gun went off. Bonner fans came streaming out on to the court and Par- sons’ followers also came out as both sides thought they had won. The referees had ruled that the ball had gone in before the gun had sounded. But there was just one problem. The gun had misfired four times before it had gone off. Then an announcement:“I.adies and Gentlemen, can I have your attention please? The final score of the game is Bonner 56; Parsons 55.” Nothing could stop the celebration of the Bonner team and their fans; nothing except a pause to hear the announcement that the cheerleaders and student body had won the award they had believed all week long they could — the Sportsman- ship Trophy. The State tournament was indeed a time for achieving, rejoicing, and, most of all, believing.

The Best of ’84 Maybe it was a “I” rating at State Music. A part in the play. Parties. Maybe it was winning at State Basketball. Making the Honor Roll all year—or for the first time. Maybe it was just the good friends and the great times. No matter what it was, some part of 1984 will stand out as “the best” to each of us. We all have our own candidates for the best movies, best friends, and the best times. Each of us had a say in determining what was the best part of 1984, to us. Likewise, we all have the chance to make the future better than the past. It’s our responsibility (to ourselves) to maintain a positive attitude, being the happiest and the “best” person we can possibly be. A LARGE CROWD enjoys a Bravette volleyball match. A CANDID SCENE from Commence- ment activities. 150 Us PICTURED CLOCKWISE: Rob Stewart and Randy Reed discuss the game situation; Mrs. French and her 5th hour Shorthand class; a large Bon- ner crowd cheers the Braves to victory at the State tourney. 1984 Totem Pole Editor in Chief.............D.L.

Sleep second hour sessions were combined with som work-filled Saturday afternoons and those laz starting-the-summer days to best represent th year. Still, the work was completed. The deadline were more or less met head on, and the yea dwindled away. Somewhere amidst all the nois and confusion, we hope we captured the Best o ’84.
