---------BSHS students---------------- STOP for archway romance Twas the dance in December in the commons and hall; all the students were dancing and having a ball. With the theme “Moonlight and Mistletoe,” the night was all set, in hopes the Queen and King soon would be met. After filling out petitions and getting students to sign, the evening had come; it soon would be time. The eight were all clapping when she was nam- ed, at the same time, the King’s name was ex- claimed. The Queen, her name was Stephanie Stean; The King’s name was Bill, he was tall and lean. The two had a dance as everyone could see; Everyone joined in as happy as could be. Silver and blue were the colors of the night; The arch added a touch that was simply out of sight. With places to go and people to see, everyone left by 9:15 p.m. This story I tell is fiction you see, the attendance was low, including me. —Melany Allen 1986 Christmas Dance candidates are pictured, top row, from left: Scott Geary, Bill Downing, Joe Jenkins.

” 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. Toasting to the evening, senior Steve Saunders and junior Shannon Matthews 20 Prom
