“Let's be friends, son,” Ted Bryson seems to be thinking as he admires little Andy, his new bom treasure. All for one and one for all, this group of Bradley ladies show their enthusiasm for an upcoming game. Call me Hey, write me a note! tonight... Meet me in A-Hall.... Save me a seat ... This was just a sampling of the friend-to-friend chatter typically heard at Bradley. Seeing friends was not al- ways as easy as hoped. Sometimes friends were lucky enough to get the same class or lunch period, but usually seeing friends meant stealing a minute here or there. Besides before-school hours and af- ter-school time there was only the five minutes crammed between classes or an occasional pep rally, activity pe- riod, or chance meeting. Nevertheless, friendships born at Bradley were strong and enduring. When the bells rang throughout the day, people emerged from the walls. Blocking all of the halls, friends gabbed about the previous day's events only to be disturbed by the no- torious tardy bell. The halls finally cleared and breathed, ready for the next onslaught of traffic. Special friends at Bradley were our foreign exchange students who brought us a glimpse of European val- ues, opinions, lifestyles, and humor. Our 1987-88 exchange students proved that it was possible for students of different cultures to mingle, have fun, and become friends. Some of the other friendships nur- tured at Bradley included the follow- ing combinations: Michelle Curtis, Kip- pi Haney, and Deanna Mowery; Mickie Crisp and Dawn Rumba; Chad Williams and Chad Copeland; Melvin Swafford, Gary Ownby, and Mike Vaughn; Denise Murray, Shannon Flynn, and Lisa Ware; and Shannon Greer and Christy Griffith. Caught in an early morning stroll down A-Hall, friends Dana Nolen and Nicole Elam show off their bear tan. Friends 1 13

Not even the classic charm of this impres- sive '61 Vette can outshine the majestic beauty of the 1987 Junior Homecoming at- tendants. Jamie Woodall and Vickie Moore. Our Senior beauties who vied for the top homecoming honors were (left to right) Darleah Beard, Janna Presley, Tracey Har- den. Friday, October 2nd was the time, Bradley Central High School was the place, and a cool, cloudy, windy night was the setting. Yes, it was Homecoming in Bear Country. To start the festivities, the two sophomore representative, Stepha- nie Whitten and Kristy Wright, were escorted across the field in a 1963 red Corvette convertible driven by David Ellis. Following close behind in a 1961 blue and white Corvette owned by Mr. Sam Bettis were the two junior representatives, Vickie Moore and Jamie Woodall. Finally came the three senior candidates who were vying for the title of Bradley's Homecoming Queen of 1987-88. They were Darleah Beard, Tracey Harden, and Janna Presley. They arrived atop a 1984 red convertible Cor- vette driven by senior class pres- ident, Melvin Swafford. As soon as the girls were parad- ed before the Bradley fans, the Ocoeean staff went into action roll- ing out the red carpet and setting up ferns, candelabras, and the arch- way under which each lady and her escort would pass. After the introductions had been given, it was finally time for the mo- ment we had all anticipated. Mr. Lyman Wood, the announcer for the night, proclaimed ... The new 1987-88 Homecoming Queen is ... .(drum roll) ... Miss Janna Suz- zane Presley. Immediately, black and white balloons, donated by the Class of '77, filled the air. Mr. Hughes crowned the new queen, presented her with pink roses, and kissed her cheek. As Janna took the traditional walk down the sidelines, the band played Bradley's Alma Mater. A look of genuine surprise reflects from Janna Presley's countenance as Mr. Lyman Wood announces her name. Homecoming
