On May 6, Brimfield Grade School hosted the 1985 West Central Academic Contest. Brimfield Students who participated in the competition with six other schools' representatives included Angie Knotts, Brian Abraham, Larry Keach, and Mark Ryan (for fifth grade); Sanee Ness, Laura Bush, Tina Hart, and Julie Arnold (sixth grade); Kristina Ericsson, Steve Clark, Sean Lockard, and Kristy Hartman (seventh grade); and Vernon Hanssen, Lori Martin, Fred Car-roll, and Brett Seamons (eighth grade). Students from each school were divided into four teams, one student from each school on a team. These teams were then paired for preliminary rounds. Students were asked questions about various subjects, and whichever team correctly answered the most questions won that round. Winners of the preliminary rounds advanced to the finals. All the team members of the overall winning team received ribbons. Photos by Gary Keithley 6 — Academic Contests

Many unique events occur throughout the year that students want to remember like Homecoming, Spirit Week, Prom, Senior Night, and the special performance by the Air Force Band. This section is an attempt to capture some of those memorable moments that we call “Special Events.” Pictured on these two pages are Homecoming participants (left top), Jaime Vovrick and Jeff Breneman (lower left) talking at the Yearbook's Hat Dance, Mike Roberts, Rick Miller, and Kim Miller dressed for the Halloween Contest (lower left), Mr. Anderson and Keith Bonds on Halloween (top right), Ted Connelly and friends at the donut-eating contest, and some of the dance crowd from the Air Force Band assembly.

During the year, the high school scholastic team participated in two competitions. The first, in October, was held at lllini Bluffs and the second, a month later, took place at Green Valley. The members of this year's team were (middle) Coach Radine Kellogg, Barb Brad-dock, David Ryan, Susie Rachel, Roy Groeper, Cathy Mueller, Amy Carlton, Mark Mueller, Scott Keithley, Andy Mueller, Bruce Emken, and Tony Bridson. The high school competition worked much like the grade school’s, the object being to answer more questions correctly than the opposing team. In this endeavor the players often did well and like to show it (upper left) as did Scott Keithley, Mark Mueller, David Ryan, Susie Rachel, and Andy Mueller. They also admitted to not succeeding just as often (lower left). Coach Kellogg (top) often showed her displeasure at incorrect questions, especially when it was on a subject she taughtl Hopefully she will have more to smile about next year. Academic Contests — 7
