Q activities Students spend seven hours a day in school. The rest of their time is spent in an exclusive world of fashions and music geared to them, of parties and cars and Saturday night movie dates. Boyertown students were no different. There were also special activities held at school - after regular hours - that gave students a chance to have fun. Proms, and plays, and the practices and preparations that went before them, brought out all kinds of students. The ones who liked to work behind the scenes, the organizers, the stars of the show - they were all there, enjoying the fun.

Teams achieve beyond league Four teams managed to reach levels of competition beyond Ches-Mont ac- tion. In cross country, two runners com- peted in the PIAA District I Cham- pionship race. Tim Groff got first place in that race, breaking the previous record by 19 seconds. He also placed third in the PIAA Class AAA State Cham- pionship race, Todd Bergey placed sixth in that race. Three wrestlers advanced to sec- tionals - Matt Landis, Kevin Mitchell, ajad Steve Boyer. Mitchell was the run- ner-up in sectional competition, and all three wrestlers went on to the district level. Boyer and Landis were eliminated there, but Mitchell placed second with a loss of the first-place title in the final rounds of competition. With his second- place title, Mitchell went on to the regionals. He is only the second Bear wrestler to advance to that level of com- petition, Mitchell's 18-12 season ended at the Southeast Regional tournament. After winning Boyertown's first Ches- Mont title in basketball, the cagers also were involved in district competition. District I play-off games included wins against Central Bucks West, West Chester Henderson, and Radnor. The final game in district competition was played against Conestoga at the Palestra. The Bears lost that title game, ending the competition one point away from the District I championship. With its second-place rating in district com- petition, Boyertown went on to inter- district play. State-level games included wins over Berwick and Allentown- Dieruff. The team ended its 30-3 season with a loss to Reading in the eastern semi-finals. A second-place rating in Ches-Mont league play enabled the softball team to advance to District I playoffs. The team was eliminated in the third game against William Tennant. District Play
