Across the nation, there are millions of roads we have all traveled at one time or another. Whether or not we remember each and every one of those roads, no one can be sure. However, there is one common road we all chose, either willfully or by some tragic detour, that we would all travel to bring 1986 to an end and to start off the glorious year of 1987. To most of us, this road was a journey—a true learning experience. Through the trials and tribulations of the year, we all found that common road led in many different direc- tions and to many different destinations: on- ly to find these destinations reachable by surpassing a long list of common detours. For those new to BSHS, there was a new type of life to get used to: high school life at BSHS. Unlike the old days, where practice for sports came with the beginning of school, an athlete's life at BSHS calls for a great deal more dedication. From those grueling 1 p.m. practices in the heat for the greatly manned football team, to the steamy practices for the volleyball team in the gym, many of us wondered if it was worth the time and effort. As others started the new year in different ways, either with an organization or study in the library, the true test was put before us. August 25 brought the first day of classes, as well as our first bit of numerous mechanical difficulties. Soon we found that each road would become more bumpy as we headed down our own path to success... Opening 3 OPENING Mr. Nelson's physics class, from left, bach row. Stephanie Stean.

At the chilly and rainy Homecoming pep rally, foot- ball players never loose their cool. As the year went on, we found that we (as high school students) were not the only Americans detoured by mechanical dif- ficulties. As the horror of drug abuse swept the na- tion, mandatory drug tests became a part of everyday life for many Americans. Admitting herself to a drug rehabilitation clinic, Tammy Fae Bakker made the news as did her husband Jim, head of the PTL (Praise The Lord) ministries. After a sex scandal in- volving Bakker and a secretary, Bakker resigned from his PTL ministry with bit- terness. Blaming Jimmy Swaggart for his scandal being publicized, Bakker and his wife reconciled their differences and fought for their ministry. Also fighting a battle was Royals manager Dick Howser. Howser, who underwent surgery for a brain tumor, retired from the Royals after beginning the 1987 pre-season. Another team that faced its share of detours was Congress. Raising the speed limit on rural interstates to 65 mph, the Con- gress overrode President Reagan's veto. Closer to our own home street, Republican Mike Hayden cruised into the governor’s seat, defeating Tom Docking. Gov. Hayden’s attempts to bring the death penalty to Kan- sas were, however, stopped by the Senate. As these occurrences overloaded our minds and caused us to ponder the ensuing traffic jams, we began to relate with an understanding only one more year can add. Growing up both physically and emotionally, our friendships began to mean all the more to us. As we realized these years would not last forever, we found that special memories can be made now—to last us for a lifetime. With these thoughts we found ourselves ap- preciating the few times we had together, on our road to success. Opening 5 OPENING Ready to rock!

Well, never again will this thought enter anyone’s mind. By participating in the Q-104 Spirit Contest, the students showed pride not only for their school, but for their community. Throughout the month of September, the Kan- sas City based radio station, Q-104, sponsored a spirit contest. Approximately 56 schools throughout the metro and surrounding areas par- ticipated. The idea behind the contest was to send in 3x5 note cards to the radio station. To win a live concert with the popular rock group, The Jets, each school competed to see which one could send in the most cards. The whole idea behind the contest here at BSHS was to promote spirit among the students. Despite getting a late start a week before the end of the contest, BSHS students united to finish for a comfortable seventh by place sending in ap- proximately 80,000 cards. In order to make this tiring task a little more pleasant, card-signing parties were held at the homes of Samantha Aitkens, John Benz, Joe Jenkins, Kathy Roberts, and Sheila Camp. In addi- tion, everywhere you looked—on the bus, in the classrooms, on ten-minute breaks—everyone was signing cards. Some students, however, felt the contest was unfair to the smaller schools like BSHS. They felt that a percentile system would have worked bet- ter —Kim Klise Seniors John Benz and Metany Allen have tun trying to raise money to purchase index cards for the Q-104 Spirit Contest B Features «O' Debate at Regionals: “It’s a wonderful learning ex- perience, and it will take one far in his or her life.” — Matt Jones, sophomore Participate in the canned food drive: “I think helping people, especially around the holidays, is a great thing to do because so many people need help.” —Kate Wood, sophomore Be active in Kayettes: “For the past three years that I’ve been in Kayettes, I have always thought that the group was very helpful.

Unfortunately, styles come and go so quickly and it is hard to keep up. The students of BSHS, however, had no pro- blem sticking with the “in styles of 1986. When the “hot new looks” became “yesterday’s news,” BSHS students adapted with ease. Over the years, the classic look—comfortable jeans and a big, bulky sweater—has remained mostly the same. This year a few new names have hit the fashion scene with huge success. Guess?, Union Bay, and Generra jeans caught the eyes of many BSHS students. In addition, ten-button T-shirts and multi-colored Esprit sweaters enhanced the popular classic look. On the sidewalk scene, many new shoe styles were evident. Although no one had as many pairs as Imelda Marcos, white deck shoes. Reebok high tops, and fringe boots were popular. Some of the fads that fizzled quickly were multi- layered socks, banana clips, neon colors, plastic bracelets, and flowered jeans. Despite the present styles, everyone is different and establishes his or her own style. It just takes a little creativity and imagination to create a hot outfit—not necessarily loads of money. But as long as there is fashion, there will always be a mad rush to be the first with the latest trend! Ten button shirts, fringed boots. Snatch natches. banana clips, hair bons, and plastic bracelets were among the fashion trends at BSHS during the past year. 10 Student Life Working her weekend away at Showtime Video, senior Tracy Brady prepares to check out a movie to a customer. -- When the bell rings,- BSHS students become WEEKEND WARRIORS To many students, the only possible way to make it through the week is to look forward to the weekend. For BSHS students, going to the movies, bowling, and visiting colleges filled their busy weekend schedules. New to the weekend scene this year was Snow Creek Ski Resort in Weston, Missouri. Now in- stead of going all the way to Colorado for a ski vacation, students saved time and money at this winter wonderland! Also, a new teen bar, The Hot Spot, opened its doors for fun and entertainment. Legacy, whose members consist of BSHS students, placed first in one of many “Battle of Bands” taking place at the Hot Spot. However, some students around BSHS don’t always feel up to a weekend on the town. To many, the stress and pressure compiled during a busy school week drain the energy from these pro- spective weekend warriors.” This is where the television set comes into the picture. Sometimes nicknamed “old faithful, many BSHS students found themselves spending an entire weekend in front of the television with the company of a few important munchies. Finally, if the stress and pressure from the week totally drained BSHS students of energy for the weekends, many of these “weekend warriors” took a much need breather by spending the entire weekend in front of the television! — Kim Klise Senior Brian Landers shows otf one of his favorite outfits.

Drug detours of 1987 Throughout the year of 1986 and the beginning of 1987, there has been a major emphasis on the matter of drug abuse across the United States. In just nine days in June of 1986, there were 149 deaths due to the use of cocaine, alcohol, and other related drugs. Two of these deaths included ex- Maryland star basketball player Len Bias and pro football player Don Rogers; both of whose deaths were caused by over in- toxication of cocaine. Since these men were known in the public eye and popular in the sports circuit across the na- tion, many Americans began to draw the conclusion that only the rich and those in “high society” become dependent on drugs—mainly cocaine. How- ever, these images were soon shattered. With the incidence of drug- related deaths increasing all across the United States, Americans found that cocaine was claiming the lives of many children, homeless, and suc- cessful Americans who were in desperate need of help for their addictions. Formed recently in Kansas Ci- ty and gaining much recogni- tion, are programs such as Channel 9’s “Say No To Drugs,” and Channel 4's “Just Say No” ad campaign. In addition to this campaign, Channel 4 began to run “Hip To Be Square” com- mercials that glorified the feel- ing of not giving into peer pressure and taking drugs. Without a doubt, 1987 was a year when drug abuse was a topic of wide concern for Americans. Hoping to someday cure this problem of drug dependency all across the na- tion, drug task forces were form- ed to combat this problem in hopes of finding some workable solution—searching for the day when society will be drug-free and capable of “Just Saying No!” — On the road to popularity..: n’s- Outb3 l at t°Ps top Out s: Bed '' -OnB°artf signs..

Wedding bells didn’t only ring, they never let up! Perhaps the most publiciz- ed wedding of the year was between Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew. Even though this was a Royal Wedding, they weren’t the only two who gave themselves the royal treatment. Muscleman Arnold Schwarzenegger and morning show host Maria Shriver were married, and Caroline Kennedy tied the knot of wedded bliss with New York City author-artist Edwin Scholssberg. Young lovers said their vows as John McEnroe and Tatum O’Neal and Debra Winger and Timothy Hutton became man and wife. Also giving up the single life this year were Dynasty's Heather Locklear and Motley Crue’s Tommy Lee. Finally, was it seven, or maybe eight? Who knows! Zsa-Zsa Gabor once again entered the world of “holdy matramony” with hubby Prince Frederick von Anhalt, Duke of Saxony. So whether these famous newlyweds were truly “newlyweds” or not, 1986 will be remembered as a year to say, “I do.” Sports scene Road stops '87... 1986 was a year of surprises I for the Kansas City sports I scene. The normally tough Kan- I sas City Royals had a dismal I year, yet the Kansas City Chiefs I entered the play-offs for the first time in seventeen years. The Chiefs, however, fell short in the play-offs when they lost to the New York Jets, Kansas City also had its share in the national spotlight, especially when Heisman Trophy winner Bo Jackson shocked the sports world by tur- ning down a million-dollar foot- ball contract to sign with the Royals. Yet despite this achievement, the Royals had their down moments when skipper Dick Howser left the team last July due to a brain tumor. On the other hand, the Chiefs treated K.C. fans to a surprising- ly pleasant year when they finished with a winning record. However, despite this success, the Chiefs fired Coach John Mackovic and replaced him with Frank Gansz. Aside from the Royals and the Chiefs, the Kansas City Comets also made a coaching switch when Rick Benben was fired and was replaced by Dave Clements. The college sports scene also brought its share of highlights, and many fans were caught up in the NCAA tournament as they rooted for KSU and KU in the ,§arlY ----------------------- Happy Birthday!

Miss Liberty re- mains America's enduring symbol of idealism, energy, and self-confidence. The celebration went off without a hitch: four days of gala fireworks and I tall ships made the Statue of Liberty's 100th birthday a success.

Scandal refuses to exit The Iran-Contra scandal. Perhaps no issue during 1986-87 received more attention than this controversy that arose dur- ing President Reagan’s term. But what is the truth? Honestly, the entire story isn’t known to the public, but the Iran-Contra scam was an agree- ment only select White House and military officials knew about. The controversy involves the secret transportation of military arms to Iran in ex- change for American hostages. Later, it was learned that money earned from the sales of these arms was diverted to Contra rebels in Nicaragua. However, these procedures were against the law and so- meone had to be responsible, but who? Many military officials, in eluding former National Securi- ty Advisor John Poindexter and Lt. Col. Oliver North, were brought to trial as being involv- ed, but the two were protected by the Fifth Amendement. After being cited by North as knowing the dealings went on, President Ronald Reagan denied even participating in such a scam and pleaded with the American people to believe that his administration wasn’t direclty involved. As more hearings and in- vestigations go on, the public began to learn some parts of the true story, but no one is for sure if the entire controversy will ever be revealed. No matter what, the Iran-Contra scandal was, without a doubt, one of the year’s top news stories._____ Student Llfe 13 BSHS found Homecoming ’86 SLIPPERY WHEN WET As excitment and anticipation grew within each of us, on the day of Oct. 11, Homecoming 1986, students, friends, and spectators woke up to a cloudy day which later turned into rain. Beginning at 9 a.m., the parade and festivities went right on schedule although sprinkling rain added a touch of gloom. Float construction began the week of Homecoming '86 with each class trying its best to create the most original float. When the votes were finally tallied, a group of happy sophomores raised their voices when they heard their float took first. The juniors placed second. However, the rain never stop- ped anxious students and spec- tators from watching the Braves defeat Turner, 14-0, in a soggy Homecoming game. Finally half-time festivities began as the cheerleaders, Bon- nerettes, and Homecoming can- didates made their way down the rain-soaked track. After waiting for the much- anticipated announcement, Kathleen Stephan, the '85 Homecoming Queen, placed the tiara on Mary Shannon Brady’s head. After the game, going home and stopping off to grab a bite to eat, finishing getting ac- cessories for the dance, and changing into dry clothes, students couldn’t wait for the dance which began at 7 p.m. Music from Sound Design echoed through the commons as students kicked up their heals and boogied until the dance festivities ended at 11 p.m. Seniors Andy Adkins and Mitch Bernard and junior Chris Hall clown around at a BBO held for the football team.

Chrlstmas 19 ” At Prom 1987, BSHS students MERGED TO THE BEAT of “Stand by Me” With the pink and silver decorations highlighting the Lake Forest Clubhouse, Prom ’87 with the theme Stand By Me” was a success. With a large number of students in attendance, the crowd at this year’s Prom was exceptionally good. “Everyone was very well-behaved, and it was the biggest turnout in the 13 years that I have been sponsor- ing prom,” said Ms. Linda Hor- vath, who sponsors the Junior Class. Held May 2, the more than 200 students who attended the Prom were entertained by John Calvin, a disc jockey from Sound Dynamics. Also adding to the at- mosphere, were hors d'oeurves and punch that were catered by Sharrilyn Honacki's cooking classes. To finance the Prom, which had an array of decorations, juniors sold magazines and the class dues were out towards the cost. After paying for dresses, tux- edos, flowers, and pictures, many BSHS couples opted for less-expensive after-Prom ac- tivities. Some couples still continued the tradition of a “night on the town which included eating out at places such as the Pepper- corn Duck Club, The Winds, Plaza III, Skies, or Fedora’s—and maybe even a romantic carriage ride or walk around the Plaza. Still others closed the evening with a candlelight dinner prepared at home or even pre- prepared at a nice hotel. One couple even trekked through the grocery store while still in their tuxedo and dress to shop for that special after-Prom meal.

Such was the setting for this year’s fall play, The Kiss of Death,” performed at BSHS on Friday evening, Nov. 21, and Saturday evening, Nov. 22. In a set consisting of flats made out to be the insides of saloons and jails, this comedy-oriented western provided numerous funny situations set up to entertain the onlookers. The play opens with the arrival of Walter Halli- day, played by senior Steve Novich, who moves to the small town of Red Butte. While attempting to set up the town's first newspaper, Halliday arrives by train, receives a passionate kiss the moment he steps off, and is hopelessly doomed with a kiss of death. This scarlet, Nelly Wilkins, portrayed by sophomore Chrissy Isabell, marks Halliday for death at the mercy of Buck, a feared gunman played by sophomore Mike Erskine. Calling all the shots this year was a new face to the BSHS stage. Mrs. Cindy Peterson shared mix- ed feelings about this year’s first performance. Although there were a lot of younger, inex- perienced actors, I was fairly pleased with the overall performance. However, the Saturday even- ing show went over much better than Friday’s did. Looking ahead, I think that next fall’s play will be much better,” Mrs. Peterson added. —Kim Klise Pictured rop center: Junior Shannon Matthews (Peg) sits pa- tiently as an argument heats up between Steve Novich (Halli- day) and Susie Miller (Shorty).

Uplifting ‘Godspell’ performance - EXCEEDS --------SPIRIT LIMIT--------------------- Many long hours and grueling rehearsals finally paid off as the BSHS presentation of “Godspell entertained audiences on Friday, March 13, and Staurday, March 14. Under direction of Ms. Laurie Brenner and Mrs. Cindy Peterson, the drama and music departments joined forces in this jubilant celebration of the Gospel, as told by St. Matthew. ■‘Godspell is a religious experience to be felt joyously. It is a release of one’s spirit into the larger heart of mankind. Conceived and directed by John- Michael Tebelak, “Godspell shows that the passion of Jesus Christ was to teach love and joy in the hearts of people, rather than hate and sadness. The characters, dressed primarily as clowns in im- provised costumes, used many different theatrical devices to express themselves. Pantomime, charades, puppetry, and the use of folk, ballad, pop and rock enhanced the overall effect of presentation. According to Ms. Laurie Brenner, director, “The performance gave the school the opportunity to see some of our students who are really fine performers. Several students have taken part in community theatre, and ‘Godspell’ gave them a chance to show the people what they really do well.” Senior Brian Landers, who had a lead role in the play, added, “At first, rehearsals seemed kind of slow, but as soon as everyone got comfortable work- ing with each other, everything fell into place nicely despite a few minor problems in preparation.” — Kim Klise GODSPELL CAST.

On Oct. 27 the Kayettes sponsored the an- nual Kayette convention which was held in our auditorium and gymnasium. As part of the day’s busy agenda, our hometown, rock 'n roll band “Legacy enter- tained 200 anxious Kayette guests from across the state. The Christmas canned food drive was another activity that Kayettes participated in. This year the Kayettes collected a total of 2,500 pounds to donate to the needy. Another highlight of the year was Val-Pal week. During the week of Feb. 9-13, members drew names and exchanged gifts and candy by leaving clues of themselves. By the end of the week members had a good idea of who was their secret pal, and they also had a mouthful of cavities. —Tracy Mayhew Above, the members of Legacy entertain at the Kayette conference held in Kayette members await the start of the fall conference that was hosted by BSHS.

STUCO The 1986-87 year for Stuco has been a busy one. A main highlight for Stuco was the sponsorship of the 0104 Spirit Contest. In an effort to win a visit from the Jets, the student body worked together to write an estimated 75,000 index cards. Stuco also sponsored the Homecoming dance which had the theme “Camelot.” In preparation for the evening dance, the commons area was decorated to resemble the in- side of a castle. Stuco also sponsored the an- nual Penny Drive. Each class competed to earn the most money in pennies, with all pro- ceeds donated to a worthy cause. And last but not least, whenever consession stand workers were needed, a Stuco member was always close at hand. —Cindy Dickens ■ Miste Bitner, Stuco president, an- nounces another SSHS pep assembly.

Yet, according to sponsor Mrs. Cindy Peterson, she would like to see the group become more active in the future.” Keeping busy mainly with the activities connected to BSHS dramatic presentations, the group was unable to sponsor many events. However, the group was able to sponsor one event—the “Mime Mobile,” which was a part of the Homecoming cele- bration. To become a Thespian, accor- ding to Mrs. Peterson, a student must have been “involved in some sort of drama production, either technical work or dramatical.” Junior Frank Dorsey tries to avoid Deann Newton, senior, as she attempts to app- ly his stage make up.

The paper, which is published every three weeks, is totally produced by the students in the class, with staff members handling all typesetting, photography, and lay-out duties. Patti McCoy, co-editor, said that this year’s staff “tried a new format that connected the newspaper more with the school.” — Debra Green -Publieations- YEARBOOK From drawing layouts to ordering pictures, the yearbook staff worked to make the 1987 Totem Pole the best. The first STOP for the staff was to choose the theme, which was “On The Road To Success.” Next the staff MERGED together to complete the layouts for the yearbook. After the photographers YIELDED to picture needs, members of the staff took great CAUTION to choose the best ones. Staff members then had to exceed the SPEED LIMIT to meet yearbook deadlines. This year instead of the year- book printing company typeset- ting the captions and stories, the yearbook staff did the work themselves. This pushed staff members to their very limit. — Debra Green Publications 49 Five honor grads lead Class of ’87 Valedictorian Steve Christensen QPA: 4.00 Future plans: Attend Kansas State University; engineering.

To be initiated into National Honor Society, candidates must be a senior, have a 3.2 grade point average or better, and submit an essay including all honors, and list all service activities. In turn, the possible members are selected by a facul- ty council. After receiving news that they had been selected, the candidates chose a sponsor to share with them this evening. To most, this sponsor was a person who had special influence and meaning to their education. Repeating the national pledge and receiving their NHS membership card and necklace, candidates were initiated during an impressive ceremony by the lighting of the NHS sacred flame. Also during the ceremony, retiring teacher Don Craven was honored.___ Senior Jamie Lem exchanges gifts with her NHS sponsor, Mr. Fred Engquist. 52 NHS The second half of the thirty member group initiated into Na- Mikki Allen, Patti McCoy, Beth Weir.

It could be the teacher, the subject or the format of the class. At BSHS, the Marriage and Family class, taught by Ardys Kenyan, studies a variety of things from dating and diseases to marriage and childbirth. When she sees former students, Mrs. Kenyan com- mented that they often tell her that the advice given in the class was good. This suggests why this popular elective class has lasted as long as it has. Of the subjects studied in the course, Ms. Kenyan said the students most enjoy planning the wedding family planning, managing a home and childbirth sections. Ms. Kenyan added that the childbirth section is very popular because it is something everyone worries about. The films used in class show everything about a birth. Ms. Ke- nyan said that often times after studying childbirth, girls are shocked by all the pain they will have to go through while the guys are pleased that they don’t have to go through such agony. Also, the guys usually learn usually to appreciate women more. Ms. Kenyan also commented that she enjoys teaching this class. She stated that teaching Marriage and Family “is the highlight of my day.” She is able to talk on the same level with the students, and they really seem interested in the subject. Furthermore, she said that the topics are interesting and the students make the class dif- ferent each time it’s taught. — Danielle Dingey Mrs. Ardys Kenyan, Marriage and Family teacher, spends extra time with students. Majority left-handed at BSHS The English department at BSHS has a majority of left- handed teachers. In fact, we have seven English teachers and five of them are lefties. Does this say something about our high school’s department of English? It could be saying a lot. Being left-handed makes me special,” said Chris Wood, chairman of the English depart- ment. Although Mrs. Wood takes pride in being left-handed, she added that lefties have to put up with some tough stereotypes. She explained that in years past lefties were once considered to be close to the devil and were killed as witches. While today’s lefties are not treated so cruelly, Mrs. Wood added that there is one thing that sets them apart: they are right-brain dominated. Another lefty, Mrs. Jennifer Gilroy, explained that the right brain controls creativity and ar- tistic ability, while the left brain controls logic and math skills. This might explain why lefties are often so creative and why English teachers, at least in our department, are left-handed. Lefties do, however, have to put up with their share of pro- blems. Mrs. Wood said “trans- posing letters and numbers” was always a problem for her. Mrs. Gilroy added that when she writes on the chalkboard, her sleeve often drags in what has already been written. Other problems Mrs. Wood and Mrs. Gilroy mentioned that confront lefties include smudg- ing the writing on the paper and writing in a spiral notebook. Left-handed people do learn to compensate, perhaps they use some of their creativeness in overcoming their problems. — Danielle Dingey From left, Mrs. Chris Wood, Mrs. Linda Wedge, Mrs. Connie Minges, Mrs. Cindy Peter- son, and Mrs. Jennifer Gilroy hold up their pens and show their pride of being left- handed. 54'Faculty Computer department expands When students returned to BSHS in the fall of 1986, if they were to look for the computer room upstairs, they would have found themselves lost. Yet, BSHS still did have a computer room, but where? Actually, it had just been moved downstairs during an expansion for the new school year. Beneficial to the computers' program, the move allowed for more room and less confinement when working with the computers, according to instructor Ken Clark. Mr. Clark also felt the move has strengthened the department by allowing more students to take computer courses, and by gaining a better learn- ing environment without “everything being piled high in one small area.” In reality, the entire expansion this year revolv- ed around the move to a new, bigger room. In addi- tion to this, computers classes were increased to four levels because of the increased demand for higher classes. Student enrollment, however, is not the only in- crease Mr. Clark is looking forward to. In the near future, Mr. Clark is looking to further expand the computers' department by integrating it with classes from other departments. In addition to this hopeful change, Mr. Clark is looking to expand the department by acquiring more computers and equipment. — Danielle Dingey Business is a success at BSHS In Mrs. Deena French’s first hour secretarial training class, an actual business is being run as part of the course work. Mrs. French said she got the idea for the business, which is called Serendipity, six years ago after “talking with other business teachers.” Mrs. French, business teacher, stated that this activity “introduces the students to the atmosphere of an actual office. Two of the biggest benefits gained by the students, Mrs. French added, are accepting responsibilty and working cooperatively with others. To begin this activity, the class is split into two parts: employees and customers. The employees take turns rotating among four stations. While at these stations, students act as receptionists, sales managers, shipping clerks, and account ants during the period of the class. The customers place orders with the company. Employees then process the orders and deliver the products. Mrs. French added that students enrolled in Secretarial Training seem to enjoy this “mock business” section of the class the most, and it appears that “working” for Serendipity is the students' favorite part of the training course. — Danielle Dingey SECRETARIAL TRAINING Members ol Mrs. French's Secretarial Training class lake a moment out of their busy class schedule tor a picture.

FAMILY TIES Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have your relative work at the school you attend? “It doesn’t bother me, I sort of enjoy being able to go into the office any time to get money,” said senior Steve Saunders, whose mother Barbara works as the BSHS registrar. Does the fact that some students have relatives working here mean that those students are not treated equally? Most of students who fall into this category feel they are treated the same, and the mothers added that they don’t feel as if others think they favor their child. In fact, the mothers feel that they hear more about their child’s abilities and attitudes. “I hear about Michelle from her teachers. They comment on different things,” said Mary Kim- brough, school secretary. The parents enjoy working here and the children aren’t bothered by their presence. Sophomore Michelle Kimbrough said, “I love my Mom so much that I think it’s a privilege for me that she works here.” Registrar Barbara Saunders feels that “working at BSHS has given Steve and I a closer relation- ship.” Other students who have relatives working at BSHS are Jackie Burns and her father Richard Burns; Kate Wood and her mother Chris Wood; Larry Vitt and his grandfather William Vitt; and Becky Thompson and her mother Gerri Thomp- son.

DOUBLE DUTY For many teachers, the work day doesn’t end at 2:35 p.m.; it only continues. Some teachers head to the practice field, to the auditorium, or to the piano for extra work with students. One of these teacher, Mrs. Mary Knowles, stays late in the crafts room to work with students sen- ding work to the Scholastic Art Association Art Show. Another such sponsor, Mrs. Cindy Peter- son, can be found helping her students to get selections ready for forensics meets. Although a sponsoring position takes extra time outside of teaching hours, the job is fun for teachers involved. Mrs. Peterson normally spends six or seven Saturdays working with forensics students but added that she doesn’t always enjoy working on Saturdays. Mrs. Knowles is at BSHS many evenings until after 9 p.m. and goes to Wichita four or five weekends a year as part of her sponsorship of crafts work. She enjoys her job, though, because she is “working with the top people in my special- ty.” Others sponsors who work with students after school feel that they are closer to students because they are “spending time together in a relaxed atmosphere.” Satisfaction is also a big part of the job. Accor- ding to Mrs. Knowles, this comes “when the kids do well” and when Mrs. Knowles is able to “bring out a spark of creativity.” — Danielle Dingey Cindy Peterson English Drama Freda Reynolds Physical Education Dale Rushing Assistant Librarian Pat Sheley English Ted Stephens Business Bill Vitt Auto Mechanics Linda Wedge English Chris Wood English Faculty 61 Enthusiastic!

On the overall season, sophomore Michele Kimbrough faintly smiled and commented it was “fun. Yet the fun and glory are only one aspect of life as a BSHS cheerleader. To begin their year-long season, the cheerleaders mar- ched in the Tiblow Days parade, in addition to the rainy Homecoming parade. However, performances were onfy one of many duties they performed. To pay for the camp they at- tend, the cheerleaders spon- sored fund raisers in which they sold suntan lotion, sunglasses, and candles. After raising the needed money, the cheerleaders placed third in overall competition at the camp. This included the junior varsity and varsity teams.

The Bonnerettes had 22 per- formances at football games, basketball games, and special events. The squad entered the talent show at Tiblow Days and won first place. They also mar- ched in the Tiblow Days parade and Homecoming parade. For the first time, they appeared at some girls’ basketball games and performed at Open House.

Yet despite the record, Coach Joe Mintner said his team “played well” and was led by a group of strong seniors. The first win of the season for the Braves was a 6-0 victory over Bishop Miege. The Braves had to work hard for this win, as the second half of the game was rained out Friday night, so play was resumed the next Monday. A second victory for the squad came against Turner, 14-0, during the Homecoming game. The Braves’ leading rusher was junior Arthur Bolton who led the team with 259 yards on 86 car- riers. The No. 2 rusher was senior Andy Adkins, who picked up 208 yards on 52 carries. In the passing department, senior Ryan Hitchcock threw for 371 yards while senior Jerry Hoffine led the receivers with 12 catches for 142 yards. At the end of the season, Adkins was named to the all-EKL first team defensive unit. Pictured top center: Senior John Benz expresses his thoughts while running onto the field for a home game.

Overall, the Bravettes compiled a 13-17 record. In EKL play, they posted an 8-6 mark. The JV squad recorded a 9-5 record. Highlights for the season included facing Meige three different times and finally winning the last game. Also, beating Blue Valley was a big win for the Bravettes, according to Coach Vaughn. Individual highlights for the season includea the selection of senior Lisa Pickert to the all-EKL squad.

Nevertheless, dealing with the shortage of people was not a problem. ‘‘The team did quite well,” said Coach Alton Morey. ‘‘We had a full-strength team, and they used their full potential.” Individually, the team was again led by senior Steve Christensen, who turned in another strong season for BSHS as one of the state’s top run- ners. Christensen performed well in numerous races throughout the season, with one of his best times recorded at the Bonner In- vitational where he repeated as Junior Monty Chayer keeps a steady pace as he prepares to hit the finish line. champion by capturing first place with a time of 18:32.

This was the first time the girls’ squad has ever placed first in a tournament. At this meet, senior Tara McCrink and sophomore Jennie Kirchner placed first in doubles while Bitner captured a first in singles. At the state meet, Bitner plac- ed fourth, losing eventually to a three-time state champion. ‘‘Miste probably would have taken second if she was in the other bracket, said Coach Scott.

Top newcomers of the year were freshman Jerome Girard and sophomore Rob Holland. Best individual performances were Brian Dolinar, sophomore, who placed second in singles at the Gardner Invita- tional; and junior Monty Chayer and senior Eric Holland, who placed second in doubles at the Leavenworth Invita- tional.

Bonner grapplers face STEEP GRADE _______during 86 season________ Led by state champion Jay Verdict, the BSHS wrestling squad enjoyed a successful season. At times, the squad did face some difficult moments when many returning squad members chose not to compete and several key grapplers were forced out of competition due to injury. As a result of these losses, Coach Tim McGin- nis said several of the “younger kids started at the varsity level when they really needed ot wrestle JV for the experience.” Yet, despite these difficulties, Coach McGinnis was pleased with the season: I was pleased with the performance of the younger kids and their will- ingness to work hard and get better.” At this year’s EKL meet, Verdict captured a first place while Tony Carver placed third and Scott Geary placed second for the second year in a row. At regionals, which were held at BSHS, Verdict was the only Brave grappler who qualified for State with a another first-place finish. Bill Sickman, Brian Denney and Scott Geary all lost in the consolation semi-final matches. Undoubtedly, the highlight of the year for the squad came when Verdict captured his first state title. I wasn’t surprised when Jay won,” said Coach McGinnis. “He worked hard all year and his goal all season was to win State.” McGinnis said the team was lead this year by Verdict. Gearv, and Carver.

In the finals of state, Verdict decisioned Pepe Cabrera of Bishop Ward by a score of 5-2. Verdict advanced to the finals by decisioning Mike Wilson of McPherson, 12-2. Wilson had defeated Verdict last year at state in the consolation semi- finals, making this year’s con- test a re-match between the two. To train for state, Verdict said he worked hard toward the end of the season.” Throughout the season, Verdict said he felt like he had a “good chance of plac- ing in the top three at State.” How does it feel to win the State championship? It feels the same as it did at the beginn- ing of the year. I was actually more happy about winning my semi-final match [against Wilson of McPherson],” said Jay.

Wrestling 77 Braves’ squad PASSES LIMITS The 1986-1987 boys’ basket- ball season was upsetting at times, but one to remember, ac- cording to Coach John Heckathorne. After setting goals early in the year to place first, the squad captured titles at the Tonganox- ie and Paola-Ottawa tour- naments. The squad finished the year in strong fashion, losing a heart- break in the finals of sub-state to Washburn Rural, 46-56. Leading the team in points, was senior Andy Adkins. Adkins, who scored a total of 325 points, maintained an average of 14.77 points per game.

Even though their record wasn’t very good, Coach Shirley Vaughn felt her squad played “with a lot of spirit and determination.” However, with the help of a tremendous sophomore class and leading scorer Sheila Wilson, the Bravettes are looking forward to next season. Wilson, who was an all-EKL selection, paced the squad with 259 points for a 12.3 average. The squad’s second leading scorer was senior Lisa Pickert, who added 91 points; Pickert also led the team in assists with 46. The high point of the season for the Bravettes came during their sub-state performance when they lost in double-overtime to Shawnee Heights—the team that went on to eventually win the tournament. With the return of this year’s players and next year’s sophomore class,the Bravettes appear headed on the road to success. — Rodney Foley Senior Lisa Pickert eyes the opponent’s defense, trying to decide what play to set up.

Basketball 81 -BSHS baseball squad faces- MANY DETOURS during 5-16 season It was an up and down season for the BSHS boys’ baseball team, which posted a record of 5-16. The squad started the season strong, winning their first three games. After that, however, the squad's winning ways began to disappear. “As a team we should have been more consis- tent,” said head coach John Heckathorne. Part of the consistency problem for the squad came from the fact that many members were new to the team, including 10 sophomores. However, Coach Heckathorne believes that many of these sophomores received some good playing time and can become more solid players next year. Individually, the squad was led by two all-EKL performers: seniors Shawn Hall and Jeff Smith. Hall, who pitched and played shortstop, punched out 27 hits in 59 trips to the plate for a .457 batting average. In addition, Hall posted career high school records in runs scored with 60; doubles, 18; and home runs, 13. Smith, a third baseman, went 28-for-65 on the year for a .430 average. Not far behind was senior pitcher Steve Johnson, who compiled a .357 average for the Braves.____________ Giving it his all, sophomore squad member Robbie Novich sw- ings through a pitch during a home game. Throwing with all his might, senior John Benz uncorks a fastball against Harmon. Aiming for the strike zone, senior hurler Steve Johnson releases his best effort.

For the second straight year, senior Sheryl Vickers was the team’s leading hitter. Vickers went 23-for-56 at the plate for a .411 average. Not far behind her was sophomore Melissa McGraw, who hit .400 and led the team with 26 hits. Also having a good year at the plate was sophomore Courntey Bond, who hit .321. All-EKL performer Marla Brown, senior, led the team with 16 RBIs and hit for a .357 average. Brown was also the team leader in home runs with three. Another senior, Kellie Hulsey, paced the squad with 13 stolen bases. As a team, the Bravettes hit .291, as compared with a .262 average for their opponents. Leading the way on the pitching mound once again was senior Sue Newton, who posted a 10-8 record with an earned-run average of 2.48. Newton finished the season by striking out 43 batters and walking 37. The conclusion of the season also meant the end of playing time for numerous seniors on the squad. Said senior squad member Lori Delana: “My high school softball years are the most memorable. Much of the team played together before high school, so we were like sisters.” With a determined effort, senior infielder Lisa Pickert applies the tag to her opponent. A waiting the pitch, senior Miste Bitner is ready to make contact. Bitner compiled a .288 average for the season.

At the regionals, the team placed fourth and was just one stroke off earning a trip to state. The BSHS squad placed sixth in the EKL tournament and took fifth in the Wyandotte County tournament. Laing shot a 75 to take second in this meet.______ Junior Richard Laing concentrates on his next shot during regional play at Sunflower Hills. 88 GoH Concentrating on the ball, JV golfer Rodney Foley prepares to tee off during a tournament at Sunflower Hills.

But for many other BSHS students, after school time is not for relaxation. It's work time, time to punch in the old time card again. Depending on the senior’s future plans, many work for various reasons. “I like to work so I can have my own spending money and save for col- lege,” said senior Cindy Dickens, who works four hours nightly at Stephan Standard in Bonner Spr- ings. Yet, other employed seniors have respon- sibilities that require an income. To some, in- surance, car payments, and loans are many reasons for an after-school job. But the money is not the only element involved, some seniors feel a job is a great way to prepare for the future, and gain the needed experience to make it in the world. The experience of working will have its benefits in years to come,” said Jamie Lenz, a crew worker at Bonner’s McDonald's, “that’s why [I work]. Starting in high school you can gain that experience.” Experience is great, but what about homework, research papers and seven page exams?

The graduating class of 1987, according to a questionnaire on future plans, responded that 14 would be working after high school; 11 would enter the Armed Services; 13 would attend the University of Kansas; eight would go to Kansas State University; 28 would study at Kansas City Kansas Community College, and another 13 would further their education at Johnson County Communtiy College. Other college choices among the graduates in- cluded Baker University, Butler County Communi- ty College, Drury College, Pittsburg State Univer- sity, St. Mary’s College, UMKC, AVTS, and Kansas Wesleyan College.

It is the remorse or bit- terness for something which happened yesterday or the dread of what tomorrow may br- ing. Let us therefore do our best to live but one day at a time.” “Life is like a ball; you will never see it all at once.” ----Class of 1987 is- ON THE ROAD to the future Throughout the day ot May 26, 1987, all those connected with Commencement ceremonies hoped that the predictions of rain would fall through. However, late evening storms did appear and the ceremonies were thus moved to the gym- nasium. Yet the weather outside did not dampen the spirits of the Class of 1987 as members mar- ched into the crowded and stuf- fy gymnasium with pride. During the ceremony, valedic- torians Angie Laird, Steve Christensen, Leslie Myrick, and Pam Sollner and salutatorian Cynthia Munden addressed their classmates, using the phrase “Step by Step, One by One” as a dominant theme in their message. The class gift, a new card catalogue, was presented to the school by President Lisa Pickert. The Class of 1987 was presented by Principal Don Stokesbury. Members of the USD 204 Board of Education awarded the long-awaited diplomas to the graduates. After everyone had received a diploma, the graduates then moved their tassles to the left and walked out proudly—eager to celebrate with friends and family. — Dana Jones Adjusting his cap, valedictorian Steve Christensen practices his speech prior to the start of ceremonies.

So, we hit the road to fast-food look- ing for a great place to eat. But many of us find our successes in different places.

For most, the weekend is a time to work, to relax, to be with friends—or, in some cases, to pursue a favorite hobby. Two juniors, Becky Franz and Chad Nolting, en- joy spending their free time on hobbies that are a bit different than most. For the past eight years, Becky’s hobby has been riding and showing horses. Her love for this sport started when her family bought horses and started taking care of them. Becky has also participated in many horse shows—from those sponsored by 4-H to local clubs. While competing Becky has received numerous awards, including the “Special A,” high point, and year-end for show. Despite the enjoyment, showing horses is an expensive hobby. Taking care of a horse includes such expenses as food and visits to the veterinarian. Show expenses and lessons are also included for a total of $700 a year. Another junior, Chad Nolting, enjoys a hobby that can be more dangerous: motorcycle racing. Chad became interested in this hobby after his dad got him started. Chad has been racing for about 11 years and started when he was six years old. While he is competing, Chad travels anywhere from western Kansas to Minnesota to race and races from one to three times a week. This sum- mer Chad raced on Friday nights at KCIR. Chad estimates that his costs for his hobby run more than $5,000 a year, including gas, hotel lodg- ing at races, bike repairs, entry fees. Yet despite the cost and the danger of racing, Chad said he enjoys his hobby tremendously and especially en- joys the friends he meets at the track. —Jackie Neill Junior Becky Franz displays a trophy she non nith one of her shon horses.

Someone glues a dime to the floor and you bend down to pick it up. 2. You sit down with a Coke and a candy bar after activity period on Tuesday, thinking there is a ten-minute break. 3. During the first pep assembly, the only time your section stood up was to leave after it was over. 4. You think you will get in trouble for eating lunch in the commons. 5. You start walking to class right after the first bell rings during break, thinking you’ll be late for class. 6. You’re walking through the cafeteria and you trip and spill your tray all over a table where ten seniors are sitting. 7. You feel like a seventh grader again! 8.

The next day it was even worse and I had to go to school.” Julie Owen: “I was staring at this gorgeous guy walking down the street and I drove up on the curb, almost hitting a pedestrian sign in my mom's S.S. Monte. Yes, my face was red!” Chuck Donnigan: “The first weekend I was in Bon- ner a few girls decided to show me around town. We caught a basketball game and ate at Pizza Hut. After we got through eating, Kathy Noble, Kristy Adkins, and Melissa McGraw took me 'cruising.' Fifteen minutes later we decided to go to Kristy’s house to get some tapes to listen to. About two blocks from the house, my car died and wouldn't start for anything. So the four of us jogged up to Kristy’s house in the middle of winter and called Melissa’s mom to take us home.” Stormi Freeman: When I used to drive what some preferred to call the Peachwagon.

As time elapsed, the roads we all traveled became bumpy, yet with time they all seem- ed to work out. With our travels taking us in different directions, we all found our time spent together to be all the more important. As we gained knowledge that would aid us in the years ahead, our roads to the future began to look all the brighter. Yet, for some of us, the future began to form the element in life we all distrust—uncertainty. Winding down, the year brought many new challenges for all. To graduating seniors, the future was only a few steps down the track to a diploma. Preparing for scholarship forms 150 Closing Risky Business!

Yet with good friends, we always found a way to relieve that stress. Joining in at Prom '87, many BSHS students found the night to be relaxing and greatly enjoyable. Also in the hopes of eliminating that year-end stress, we made pit stops at the local drive-in, the Hot Spot, and of course those early morning breakfasts to put us in the right frame of mind. The end of a long and winding road finally came to a memorable stop at graduation. Saying goodbye to old friends and teachers, seniors found graduation the final step in their high school career while underclassmen looked forward to their day on the track. —Tara McCrink End of the road... At the end of the 1987 school year, BSHS students and staff said a fond farewell to two long-time educators: Mr. Don Craven and Mr. William Vitt. Both teachers have long records of service to BSHS and their contributions will be missed. Mr. Vitt, auto mechanics instructor, was a teacher at BSHS for 28 years. Mr. Craven, social science teacher, con- tributed 19 years in BSHS classrooms. In addition, Mr. Craven was sponsor of the Student Council and will be remembered for his many hours of service to this organiza- tion. Both teachers, through their caring and dedication, traveled down the “road to success in their careers at BSHS. It is in the spirit of their service, that the 1987 Totem Pole is dedicated to these two fine educators. The Totem Pole staff wishes Mr. Craven and Mr. Vitt all the best as they begin their journeys into the future. Pictured above, auto mechanics instructor William Vitt assis one of his students, David Hurt, with a project. Pictured right, A Don Craven gives a familiar growl.
