Students vs faculty ll Posters in school advertised the Student-Faculty game number two. In an effort to raise money for their tourna-- ment in Detroit Lakes, the hockey team again sponsored a students-against-the-faculty basketball game. During half- time, laughter accompanied the nose-pushing-peanut con- test, which Tom Ryan won. The sharp-shooting teachers triumphed tagaini over the students with a score of 52-38. 6. A direct shot for the basket by Principal Wallace Bernards puts two more points on the scoreboard for the teachers. 7. A little team spirit never hurts; Brian Love greets his teammates for the teachers' team. 8. Kermit Klefsaas shows unique form as Steve Wrzos looks on. 9. Tom Bergstrom gets the rebound for the students, as all players watch anx- iously. 10. Barbara Denhardt jumps high in an attempt to recover the ball for the teachers. Student- Faculty Basketball 27

Courageous teachers override students The knights in colored crash helmets and cloth mail posi- tioned for the joust; their battle green a basketball court; the weapon a basketball,- the opposing armies, teachers and students; the majestic mounts, donkeys. Was it the Trojan War? No, it was Donkey Basketball. Trying to cope with mis-mounting and dismounting dilemmas, the teach- ers overcame the students in a grueling battle of basket- ball strategy. The battle was sponsored by the Junior Class as a fund-raiser for the annual grand ballethe prom. 1. Mark Schiefelbein, Patti Vollum, William Shimek, and Brian Love watch intensely as the ball approaches the basket. 2. Team-work is shown in this skillful pass from Andrew Tatum to William Shimek. 3. A frustrated player fmds out it's not very easy to play donkey basketball. 4. Brian Love could use a little help, because his donkey isn't about to co- operate. 5. Larry Lee seems to be asking for directions back to the ball game. 26 Donkey Basketball

Seniors fill new shoes On February 17, 1977, a visitor at Brooklyn Center High School would have been surprised to see seniors filling different shoes. It was Student Government Day, a day that provided seniors with a chance to run the school. A total of 155 seniors participated, filling 75 po- sitions from administrator to teacher to janitor and cook at both Earle Brown and BCHS. Seniors found that teaching wasn't as easy as it looked, as much time and preparation had to go into each lesson. At the end of the day a reception was held in the cafeteria for seniors and members of the faculty. This day was not only a good learning experience, but also proved to be a time when the Class of '77 was drawn together. A new closeness was felt by many se- niors as they realized, during this mid-winter event, that the school year was quickly coming to a close. W! gm 28 Student Government Day
