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.

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

■—Road stdps 87... 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.”
