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
