The cor- ridors were jam-packed, every class period, and occasionally there was a push and a shove because of the com- pacted situation. Only when the min- ute bell had rung did the halls clear rapidly. No one wanted to be caught in the hall after the bell because they would have to face A-30 and you- know-who. Lunch time was also a crowded time of the day. A few people could always be seen racing to get in front of the lines. Approximately six hundred peo- ple scurried toward the cafeteria dur- ing each lunch period. After school, horns and screeches could be heard for miles around. The traffic at Bradley after school was al- ways backed up for about thirty min- utes. Bumper to bumper, everyone was anxious to get away from school, only to return to the hustle and bustle the next day. Late and alone, Robin Scoggins fears the in- evitable, a trip to A-30 to explain her tardiness. Still another time for mass move- ment among the halls of Bradley was when there was an assembly, pep ral- ly, or fire drill. It was as always elbow to elbow. Nevertheless, it was some- what orderly. The funniest scene was when there was a tornado drill. 2000 bodies lined the hallways in practice. For some reason it was difficult to remain re- served squatting down in the halls. No time did the student body girate as they did at a Bradley dance. Usu- ally held in the BCHS cafeteria, each dance offered students a time to phys- ically vent the tension of a pressured week of work. Regardless of the circumstance, the mass movement of the student body was truly a sight to behold. 26 Mass Movement Exit right! The movement from class to car is Matt Quinn's favorite move. Movement on a sweeter note is made by hand- locked dance partners Krissy Hunnel and Phillip Newton.

It was a fun time for crazy dress and crazy antics leading up to the yearly Bradley Cleveland clash. Besides the special designated days like Western Day, Bradley spirit and participation was notable throughout the campus. One of the favorite sym- bols of Bradley support was the “Paw Power flags sold by DECA. Scores of these banners could be seen hanging from Bradley antennas. Spinning with every turn of Phillip Newton's 300 ZX were gold Bear paws which adorned each wheel. Other autos featured black and gold stream- ers and other spirit decorations. A new way of expressing Bradley spirit gained favor. Although toilet pa- per and confetti had been utilized in previous years, the class of '88 filled Is Coach Johnny Mull's class hill of traitors? No. it's just our annual grub day. the air with continuous streams of tis- sue and snow flakes of confetti. A few immature students ruined the fun by tossing not toilet tissue but hand towel rolls, an action that could have easily led to someone being injured. On Thursday night of Spirit Week, a large group of the student body showed up for the annual bonfire. Af- ter a slow start and restart, the fire finally flamed forty feet into the air. The dry autumn grass burned for twenty feet in every direction. Added to all of these activities were the Halloween wardrobes and masks that always appeared the last week of October. As always, Spirit Week was a time of creativity, fun and friendship — a tradition that would long endure. Doing the twist. Mrs. Deborah Nerren enjoys an nostagic trip back to the 5Q's. Although the Bradley Art Department did a masterful job in decorating F Building's bulletin board, the message came back to haunt us. Spirit Week 25

The pitter-patter of 'little” feet speed up as the minute bell approaches. Yes, we see you! Kerry Goss and Kristy Cagle take the last few minutes between classes to freshen up! There goes Freddie! In the comfort of his trusty Plymouth. Freddie Mora vacates the premises. In the silence of the halls just before class is over, you can always hear the hum of Marty Davis speedster as he maneuvers his way. Mass Movement 27
