■ Energized With Bradley Spirit Spirit and Pride. Ah, what feelings of patriotism and sportsmanship those words inspired.

Suzy Arntz, Kym Millians. and Wendee Gibson display personalized pillows made for guess who! displayed on bumper stickers, sports jackets, t-shirts, buttons, pom-poms, scarves, and even pencils. Our spirit was more than an ingre- dient for athletic success. It was the im- petus for every movement on campus. The energy of two thousand students enlivened the halls; Bradley life was vibrant. Rich in tradition, Bradley energy fused students, faculty, and community into one spirit. This spirit was notable in athletic competitions, our bowl team, the Freddie Gage crusade, Summer Jam Nights, and our infamous Spirit Week. Whatever the cause for spirit, it was sure to be found at Bradley High. “We Are Bradley” was the 1984-85 school year theme, and we had set out to pro- claim it by being the best in everything — athletics, academics, citizenship, and self-improvement. Whenever BCHS students echoed the cheer “We’ve got spirit; yes we do,” they meant it! And who had more spirit, in- deed? Nobody in this town! Elvis lives again! Eric Stansberry expresses his creative spirit as he practices the famed Elvis finale. Eric, an avid Elvis fan, had mastered many of Elvis’ stage actions. “Could this be another Leonardo De Vinci?” ask Rocky Casteel, Scott Wade, Jeff Varner, and Brian Beard, as they watch Anthony Tucker paint a new Bear paw.
