Pride became the focal point of the 1985 school year. Because of this, Blue Reign arose as the theme of the year¬ book, describing the affair between the power of the Brunswick Bulldogs and the domination of Southside. Many changes occurred in the royal territory that aided in the establishment of Bulldog omnipotence. We were proud of our academic bulldogs as they made their debut on the Battle of the Brains. Our District in everything from Drama to Football. Clubs reigned with financial pride as hundreds of industrious students got out and worked hard to “make a good thing better.” Changes were found everywhere, beginning with the new student identifica¬ tion cards provided by the S.C.A. We ad¬ ded a few trophy cases, as well as trophies, water fountains, emergency lights, computers, ceiling fans, and even a long-jump pit for the track team. 1985 was the year for changes, im¬ provements, adjustments and self-esteem. Blue Reign depicts the pride that thrives among the Brunswick Bulldogs as we reign in our endeavors as a school, as sophomores, as juniors, as Seniors, but most of all, as BULLDOGS.

I Opening — 3 FACULTYREIGNFACULTYREIGNFACt The Journalism staff realized that half the fun of getting our yearbook was flip¬ ping to the Faculty section and giving some lucky teacher a “face-lift.” Well, regardless of how some of us felt about faculty they were there, and let’s “face” it, without them we wouldn’t have had an education (and who knows what they would have done without us!). So we both put forth an effort to sur¬ vive another school year, and somewhere between the beginning and the end we discovered that we’re all Bulldogs and part of “Blue Reign.” We even found out that regardless a popularly held belief, the majority of us were human too! Mr. Reekes, William Rivers, and Michelle Trotter announce the winner of the Breakdancing contest. Mr. Leemon ' s breakdancing is definitely worth living to see as students behind die laughing.

Three Kings Principals Reign with Velvet Glove Mr Thompson proves he’s worth his weight in gold, as he relaxes with a smile and seniors Melinda Hardy and Tony Ruffin. With anticipation glowing on his face, Mr. Burke directs his team to a close victory on the basketball court. Mr. Baird, Mr. Thompson, and Mr. Burke could easily be found everyday. They led the school and helped make the rules. The three kings of our school ruled not with an iron hand but with a velvet glove. They easily gained respect by treating all students as equal during school hours and afterwords. Mr. Baird, known as a man of many talents, could not only play a piano, but according to SCA president Martha Stith, could also tell a joke! He supported all sports and showed just as much’school spirit as the fans. Mr. Thompson, known as Coach Thompson, formerly supervised the Summer League Baseball Games. Not only did he give pointers to baseball players, but during break, he always had students crowding him for change. Mr. Burke, one of the Varsity Basketball coaches, inspired the players. He gave each of the players equal playing time and always had time when a player needed help. Each of the principals enforced the rules and regulations fairly. They looked at both sides of problems. The reign of our three kings would last a long time. They ruled with a velvet glove and a heart of gold.. Administration — 5 Blackstone Florez What’s New? The Faces of BSHS This was the year for new teachers at Brunswick Senior High. The students have real¬ ly enjoyed having the new teachers here. We liked watching the new teachers on the first day of school to see how they reacted to certain situations, such as a student not knowing where his class was and walking in about 20 minutes late. Unlike the regular teachers, the new teachers had it hard their first year. They had to show up a day earlier than the regular teachers did, and also had to stay after school every evening for about a week. The new teachers had to start from the very be ginning. They had to make up new plans, new tests, new bulletins, etc. Their duties extended far beyond the classroom though. We saw them working at games taking up tickets. They also helped with dances, making sure everything stayed under control. Teachers really went the extra mile for students, and hopefully one day we will realize that.

Half of the class would be planning a big joke to play on her, the remain¬ ing half pondered how they should treat her. While substituting for one of Mrs. Gordon’s classes an incident happened that you wouldn’t believe. One of the students took a cigarette lighter and an aerosol can of chalkboard cleaner and created a torch. Fortunately, this happened only once. It seemed that the hardest thing for a substitute to handle was when the students thought they were going to have a break from work because the regular teacher was absent. A substitute knew that it would be hard to handle the troublemakers when she was teaching for just one day, but when she was in the classroom for a couple of days, she prepared for the “smartalecks” and cracked down.

These questions and more would echo from the halls of B.S.H.S. to the parking lots of Red White and Star Value, where students of various clubs attemp¬ ted to raise money for future projects and trips. The School year reigned with club in¬ volvement. The Student Council raised close to $1,000 during homecoming. The Culture Club raised $438 selling candy, shakers, and raffles and Jour¬ nalism sold over $1,700 in ads and $400 in hats. Although education is expensive some people can’t wait to see the day when generals sell brownies to raise money to buy a battleship.

The ones who gave all the joy and inspiration to our games did not go unnoticed. The Brunswick Princesses breathed life into each game. We depended on the cheerleaders through sickness and pain; they always cheered. With one to two hours practices three days a week for five months, they developed a high level of perfection. They amazed the players with their cheers, even when enthusiasm in the crowd dwindled. With a total of seventeen cheerleaders we could not lose. Even when the team didn’t win, the cheerleaders still stood out because they con¬ tinued to cheer. Throughout the year they cheered up many students with their princessly steps, and became the Brunswick Dynamic Princesses. Varsity Cheering Squad cheers the team to victory at a Greensville game.

The Health Careers held a bake sale in November and raised $45.00 to buy T-shirts with individual’s name on them. In May they had a Spring Talent show in which cash prizes and trophies were given for first and second place. The FHA raised money by selling chocolate and peanut candies. They planned to travel to Roanoke Rapids to see how fabric was made and the different kinds of it. They had an elegant dinner afterwards and decided to go to a movie or a skating rink for a recreational ac¬ tivity before heading home.

The Student Council Association made life a little more pleasant at BSHS. When we took our suggestions to them they tried their best to satisfy our needs. A tally was taken by the SCA to see if BSHS measured up to the standards of the students. The results were positive. VICA helped students sharpen their skills in various trades. Women’s lib really made an ap¬ pearance as a female was elected President. Only two girls were members of VICA this year.

Mapping out a floor plan of a sketched house took more time and effort than each contestant thought. The two most consistent students in Auto Mechanics were chosen to compete in Colonial Heights against other students from District XII. The students had learned their lessons and were tuned up and ready to figure out what was wrong with the car in the contest. Two students competed in the carpentry con¬ test at Pittman Vocational Center. They realized that finding a job may not be easy. There would be many talented carpenters out there. Two students were chosen to compete at Pitt¬ man Vocational Center in the Masonry competi¬ tion also. When pushed to the wall, the reps from BSHS layed some bricks. One student from Metal Shop competed in District XII Skills Contest also. He competed in the Machine Shop conest held at Rowanty. All the class work melted down to a lot of talent and finely machined skills. VICA Clubs — 23 People Working Together Journalism Wins Public’s Eye People working together get the job done. In Journalism staff worked hard putting together the yearbook. At the beginning of the year the staff hustled to raise money to finance the pro¬ duction of the yearbook. Class members sold over $1,500 in ads, which was only a fraction of the final cost. Staffers also sold hats and rib¬ bons to help cut the $10,000 price tag. By rais¬ ing this money the price of each book came to $20. That allowed the yearbook to contain senior color portraits, exciting school events, and at least one picture of everyone. This school year the class managed to publish a newspaper, Bulldog Beat , that pro¬ vided up-to-date pictures and hot news articles. The Journalism class and club not only worked toward the sales of yearbooks but also captured the attention of most of the students by sponsoring a spirit rally and a Journalism dance. Although the Journalism staff didn’t receive much recognition for accomplishments, we en¬ joyed being the staff that created the book you are now looking through. On the one-day sale of yearbooks, Jessie Stith, Journalism Club president, was called out of fourth bell to help Mrs. Gordon sell the first yearbook to Chanel Wesson. Sylvia Alexander, supposedly making a Journalism run, stops to gossip a moment with Todd Trent and Marilyn Walton. 24 Clubs Journalism Getting the job done, Martha Stith and Timmi Toler manage to slip a basketball ribbon sale in at Saint Pauls College during the Greensville season game.

They participated in several parades including ones at Norfolk State and Virginia Beach. The Brunswick High Band received an “Ex¬ cellent” rating in the District III Band Festival held in Richmond. They received a top score, the first for the band since 1963. The Chorus participated in the first Christmas tree lighting ceremony held in front of the courthouse in Lawrenceville. They also performed a presentation entitled Teen 11 for the Spring concert.

After many hours of vigorous practicing, the right moves were perfected and the members were off to many parades. These included a Christmas parade at Roanoke Rapids, N. C., where they placed second, the fall festival in South Hill, and Norfolk State’s Homecoming parade. A lot of time was spent in making up the various routines for new dance steps. This was done by the dance squad, formerly the col¬ orguard and rifle squad. The colorguard and majorettes compeU against many other bands and rated we; These honors were well earned as much tin and effort was spent marching to the rhythm the band.

Coach Reekes, head coach of the girls basketball and softball teams, and assistant coach of the boys basketball team said that for the people who would like to cor tinue, advanced H.P.E.

It was fun learning how to do different things on them. It made learning a lot more interesting. We also had many new privileges we hadn’t had before. We had a smoking area we could use to sit down and talk with one another. We also had a break after our first period class. This made it a lot easier to make it until lunch time. Also the cafeteria was new to us. We could choose from the regular menu or go through an a la carte line. We didn’t have to stay in the cafeteria when we finished lunch. We could go where we wanted.

Once again Brunswick “reigned” in the area of sports, capturing several district and regional titles and always coming out on top with the fans. Playing in a sport is one thing, but having the support of the school behind you is something totally different. And as most athletes at Brunswick know, spirit in a game is as important as the game itself. And the crowd went wild! Brian Stith’s “slam dunk,” the on¬ ly one of the season at the Brunswick-Greensville game, gave t he crowd a reason to scream and cheer the Bulldogs on to VICTORY!! Excitement, tension, and determination was present at the season-ending Brunswick vs. Greensville game, and the faces of these fans make it obvious.

For the past several years, passing has brought the team into the win¬ ner’s circle. But good coaches know you cannot live with only one strategy, so this year, Coach Dale Mims sucessfully had the JV’s work on their rushing. Several of the football players began practicing rushing techniques more than passing techniques. In the past, the offensive line learned to hold the defensive line to allow pass plays to develop. This season the offensive line learned to blow a hole straight through a defensive line and dominated the secondary. Play after play led to an exciting climax, helping the team stay on their feet instead of their stomachs. Hard work and practice got them to the Districts. Overall totals at the end of the season proved that the rushing game had a dramatic effect with an average increase of 18-20% in rushing yardage over the last three years. 6 Franklin 0 32 Randolph-Henry 0 6 Greensville 0 0 Southhampton Jr. 0 32 Parkview 0 8 Nottoway 0 0 Bluestone 10 f In a uictorious cheer Webby Coleman, Ever- celebrate their happiness at beating ret Gillus, Horatio Nunn, and Harold Reavis Greensville: 6 to 0 The team speaks out on the year: Glenn Peterson Carlton Walker Robert Bagley Keith Chavis Kenneth Wilson Webby Coleman Super!!

Continuing, Rainey pointed out that the team “met or exceeded its goals” with stats like five defensive shutouts against teams such as Park View, Nottoway and Randolph-Henry. The stats of yardage gained staggers the mind. The team doubled past years’ efforts, falling just short of 2000 yards. Fielding 31 players and two managers, the team dropped a long losing streak with a 3-1-1 district record and a 6-1-1 overall record. “Outstanding Senior leadership and experience” explains how the team got to a district championship.

This year the Football team ended a great season with a record of 6-3 This was the best they’ve done since 1972. The goal of the Football team was to score three times allowing the c posing team to score only twice per game. The team’s goal was to ma 180 points allowing the defense only 140 points for the season. T Bulldogs were close to this goal with an average of over 150 points. The average points per game was fifteen. The defense only gave up : points per game. Penalties weren’t bad but cost the team two games. 0 was against Franklin 0-6 and the other against Central Lunenburg 6-32. The main reason for this great season was because the players want ' to play football. The experience was also a great factor for the winni season.

The one loss was a forfeit against Park View because of an ineligible player. To Coach Mims the record was 18-0. This team played as a team. They were fundamentally sound and ex¬ tremely quick. The pups were very aggressive; they had to be. Their size was not intimidating. Their practices lasted an hour and 15 minutes everyday. The field goal percentage this year was up to 60%, an in¬ crease of 10% over previous years. Their outstanding rebound average offensively was 18 per game and defensively was 16 per game.

Basketball Takes 10th District The team’s District Championship made Bulldog History. For the 10th straight year we dominated the courts. Winning the District Championship came as a surprise. The coaches considered this season a “rebuilding period” for the team, and concen¬ trated more on training young players rather than on winning actual games. In spite of a car accident, injured ankles, flu, and a head injury, the Bulldogs’ continued the tradition of winning and brought the District crown home again. Brunswick’s previous fame attracted new schools to compete in the Basketball schedule. They came — they saw — we conquered. The biggest thriller in the Bulldog season was dunking. Paul Gee said, “Bryant Stith’s dunk was a thriller to the crowd.” Tonya Taylor commit¬ ted, “It was a monster dunk.” JoJo Owens said, “Bryant brought the crowd to its feet.” Players stated that there will be a lot more slamming next year.

Putting On The Hits Batter Up! As the year went on through the winter, everyone was waiting for the Spring to arrive, especially the girls who were interested in softball. Prac¬ tice started early. Around the end of February, approximately 25 girls went out. They didn’t care how cold and wet the breezy air was, the girls just tried hard to meet the requirements for the team. When the time came for the cut, everyone was nervous. Coaches Reekes and Florez kept 18 girls and, man, they made a team! They started off having a hard time as they lost to Sussex 5-1 and 13-3. But they didn’t let that get them down as they came back strong with a score of 24-8 and 19-5 to win against Prince Edward. As usual the girls ended with an outstanding record of 11-6 with only 2 seniors compared to the five they had last year. The girls really knew what “batter up” meant.

Blue Knights Baseball Team Defends Kingdom Ending the baseball season with one of the best district records ever ac¬ complished at Brunswick, the “Blue Knights” reigned with pride and power over the southside district. Called the “most talented team I’ve ever coached,” by Coach Tuffy Leemon, the baseball team finished with a district record of 6-3. Most of the credit for the team’s success goes to the infielders defense, consisting of two seniors, two juniors and a sophomore. This power-packed team defeated Nottoway twice, Park View twice, and finished with two glorious victories over arch-rival — Greensville.

These additions were the pole vault and the long jump pit and an official length track. As a result the track team had its first track meet at BSHS. The Track team made it to a district win this year with a 7-0 record. It’s been a long time since they’ve qualified in the district. Many members qualified for the regional playoffs.

Tennis Sports — 67 JUNIORSREIGN JUNIORSREIGN JUNIORS As Juniors, we found ourselves ap¬ proaching the final years of high school and facing them with anticipation. By already being familiar with our sur¬ roundings; we easily slid into our routine and watched the school year slip by quickly. We were considered “the middle” of Blue Reign, and held our ground with the supremacy that only comes from Brunswick. As the football team went onto the field for their recogni¬ tion, during the Homecoming spirit ralley sponsored by the Journalism Class, Martin Astrop held up a poster that dif¬ ferentiates the Junior class from the rest of the school. Can she do it? Is the question that probes everyone’s mind, especially Junior class President Vivian Jones as she reaches to throw a water balloon to Kim Radford, Junior Vice President, who missed.

Juniors — 69 Coleman Gillus Juniors Accept Responsibility Challenge Early in November, students entered the Guidance Office as mere Juniors and some came out eager, college-bound young men and women. The feeling of nervousness as we approach¬ ed the Guidance Office was tremendous but so was the feeling of triumph when the door closed behind as we left. Choosing a college was a big responsibility. U. Va. lured many with its law program. V. P.I.’s engineering program proved optimum for some while Virginia State and St. Pauls various programs aroused many of us. We found SVCC provided us with heretofore unknown possibilities. John Tyler offered a wide variety of business courses. There were even colleges that specialized in Business Education in Richmond. VWC offered students a good mathematical and science program. ODU grabbed students by its social reputation. Some of the most disciplined students were en¬ ticed by the Army, Navy, or Marines. And the out-of-state college handbooks filled an entire wall in the Guidance Office. There were some Juniors that didn’t want to attend college at all, but that decision was a big responsibility, too.

Hendricks Lewis The Great Comeback Life Goes on A beautiful cloud of joy burst when the Junior class reunited for the second year in high school. We had only one thing on our minds — finishing the year and becoming Seniors. Dreaming so much of becoming a Senior, the identity of being a Junior was sometimes lost. There were many upsets throughout the year. Upsets that didn’t stop us from pursuing our dreams. We took time out to write letters, send cards and flowers to Martin Astrop after his accident. Glen Roberts, John Lewis, Jimmy Spillane, James Willhite and Mark Lucy were also involved in a very critical accident that could have been fatal. With the fact that only one of them was a Junior we soon realized that being a Senior did not mean having a larger identity, but being who we made of ourselves. We realized that Life Goes On and that our Junior year held many exciting moments — moments that no one in the class of 86 cared to miss.

Juniors Morgan Propst Stuck In The Middle It’s Not Easy After mastering being a sophomore and lear¬ ning the do’s and don’ts of Brunswick Senior High, we gained a little respect by advancing from a beginner to a middleman. All the while we were getting closer to the year in which we would be Seniors. But for now we could only hope for good grades. One way our “non¬ existence” was succumbed was preparing for our futures. Taking the PSAT on Saturday Oc¬ tober 20, in the cafeteria, and also battling the SAT on Saturday November 3, at St. Paul’s College, caused a great deal of frustration. Both of those days were extremely nice, too nice to be cooped-up in any kind of building tak¬ ing a test, even though it was for our future. But responsibility over-ruled rebellion as we struggled through both of those tests, realizing they could only help our future. It looks like summer but actually it’s the middle of winter.

We were finally getting our class rings! t seemed like centuries before we finally got hem, but in reality, it was only a matter of nonths. Some of us ordered them from a local ewelry store because a matter of months was oo long to wait. Though there wasn’t much dif¬ ference in the price by ordering from school or from a jewelry store, time was the object, not money. The sooner we got them, the better. We had many different choices and selec¬ tions. Most rings remained in the $20-$200 price range (though some of us went over). When we received our rings, not only was it a joyous occasion but also a memorable one. Our class “rings-around-our-fingrs” distinguished us as Juniors. So the ring around the finger would be the perfect size, Ran¬ dy Jones gets his finger measured by Herff Jones Representative.

Juniors — 79 SPECIALACITIVITIESREIGNSPECIALA During the months of October and November you would have thought the students enrolled in Government classes knew “Ron” and “Fritz” personally by the way they expressed themselves in classroom conversations and debates. Students made it clear whether or not they liked Ronald Reagan, Walter Mon¬ dale, neither or both. They backed their political party by displaying posters throughout the school and around their assigned electorial precinct during Elec¬ tion day as they tried to persuade peo¬ ple, 50 ft. from the precinct doors, to vote for their candidate.

He gave the little puppet new life, as well as the au¬ dience. The little puppet, self-esteem, proved that good things really do come in small packages. The year started off with no excitement. On September 6, 1984 we had an assembly and Reggie Smith brought us excitement. He joked jround and even brought a puppet. Teachers yell and scream at us all year because we lack self-respect. Reggie was here one day and when the jokes were over we realized that he, too, was trying to make us more aware of our potential as human beings.

As the sweet smells of success drifted through the class, parents and students got a taste of the class. The Cater”-pillars made homemade peanutbutter cookies and snicker doodles for Spring Open House. Not only did they cater to parents, teachers, and students, the catering class catered to the needs of the cafeteria staff when they helped to serve special luncheons to the Board of Supervisors and the Administrative Review Team. Sweet Sensations “Cater”-pillars Create A Stir The catering class helped to sweeten disposi¬ tions on Valentine’s Day as the students sold twenty-two Valentine’s cakes.

With everyone taking more classes and with the new research and reading re¬ quirements, a “relaxed” student became a rare sight this year. In the past, students lounged in the halls with drinks and chips, but this year books tagged along on the feasts. As the new twenty and twenty-two credit diplomas became a reality and a requirement, many relatively small classes began to overflow, particularly the foreign languages, maths and sciences. Conver¬ sations in French and Spanish were sometimes muffled through the chips, but they were there. A few drawings were reportedly ruined by drinks, also. The Library had a record year with the stan¬ dardized reading requirements in the English and Social Studies Departments. By the last quarter of the year, the place was constantly filled with students flipping pages and scribbl¬ ing notes for those unbelievable termpapers. And now for the good news.

On Wednesday evening students struck again with a bonfire followed by a spirit rally. The Bulldogs even included their very own memorial service for their rivals, the Charles Ci¬ ty Panthers. The Homecoming Court awed their specatators on Thursday with their charm and wit. One contestant remarked that she was “sparkling, fresh, and easily digested.” Since the young ladies were so charming and delightful, fellow classmates had a hard time marking their ballots during lunch. Bulldogs showed their true colors on Friday as they displayed their “blue and white.” Spirit was also evident during the spirit rally that afternoon. There was plenty of time for fun and games as the classes competed for the spirit stick. To their dismay, for the first time in Bulldog history, there was a three way tie. Friday night marked the climax of Homecoming Week as the Bulldogs dominated the Panthers, 45-0, and the Homecoming Queen, Miss Angela Carter, and her princesses, Miss Kristie Simmons, Miss Vivian Jones, and Miss Virginia Walker were announc¬ ed.

The night of Homecoming was not only a vic¬ tory for the Bulldogs with the win over the Charles City Panthers, but it was also a victory for Angela Carter as she was crowned Homecoming Queen at half-time. Beth Tanner, last years Homecoming Queen, passed the crown to her successor. Each year contestants for Homecoming Queen and Princess show the student body their favorite leisure and evening apparel. They answer questions expressing their opinion on views on a matter. The questions may seem simple, but when it comes to answering them, they do require thought. Twelve contestants for the homecoming court competed against each other for the win. The grueling practices helped them perform perfectly and they always managed to keep a happy face while on stage.

Homecoming Court Special Activities INPUT Technology Excels By the end of this century 75% of all jobs will involve computers. It is evident that students will need to learn how to use the com¬ puters in school. Our school was fortunate enough to have been granted the money to purchase a com¬ puter lab. Our lab consisted of 16 Commodore 64 computers. The Math and Language Arts Departments used this computer lab all year. The Business Education Department had 17 TRS-80 Model III and four other computers. One was in the word processing lab where documents were typed, revised, edited and then printed. One computer was also located in the Office Technology lab. It was used to teach simple word processing and automative office procedures. The Business Computer Applications lab had 15 computers. They were used to teach Basic programming, automative accounting, data base applications, electronic spread sheet ap¬ plications and word processing applications. The Mathematics Department has an Apple Computer which was used in the Calculus classes. The Drafting class has an Apple com¬ puter which was used in career education. The Metal Trades class has a computerized lathe machine. You can expect to see Mr. Nichols, or any other teacher, and Ms. Cheely in the library during free time working on a dialogue.

The Bulldogs have continued to sport their prowess not only in athletics but in the voca¬ tions, fine arts, and academics as well. The Vocational Awards Assembly kicked off the first of four awards programs, honoring students who participated in and or excelled in the vocations. Participants of the home economics, business, and trade courses were acknowledged. For the second year in a row, honor students were awarded during the Academic Awards Banquet. After an eloquent speech, delivered by Mr. Reggie Smith, members of the A Team, the top ten, and all honor students were recognized. Mr. Smith remarked that Brunswick Sr. High was one of the few schools with a special program dedicated to the academics. The main events were the naming of the co-salutatorians, Tressaline Coleman and Laurence Hawkins, and the naming of the valedictorian, Tammy Brown. Also a main event was the Honor Society Induction Ceremony. It is often thought that the only way to letter in high school was through sports. This theory was disproved during the Fine Arts Awards Assembly as letters were awarded for par¬ ticipation in Drama, Chorus, Band, Colorguard, and Art. The Athletic Awards Banquet was the last of such programs. Special guests ranged from football players to cheerleaders.

Friendship never ends when you’re a Bulldog; it just has its quiet points. We could be found by the main office or Mr. Burke’s office, in the gym, library or at our lockers. We would be in pairs or groups of boys and girls, blacks and whites, but most of all, we would be together. Of course, these friendships weren’t always “happy-go lucky.” We as Bulldogs had “spats,” but being who we were and where we were, friends, always made us see that the issue wasn’t worth the pain we were giving it. Bulldogs stick together and our friendship will always reign. Some of our friends were graduating and when the final days came, the love and joy of knowing them filled our hearts with sadness and our eyes with tears. As for the rest of us who would return to BSHS the next year, the sadness of not seeing some of our friends during the summer only made us wish that the beginning of school was tomorrow.

But whatever lay ahead of us, whether we got married, got jobs or went to college, we knew we would keep moving forward until we reached the top!!! Thinking of the future was on every senior’s mind. Here Jerome Rawlings is filling out forms for the Marines. Seniors — 97 Alexander Bugg Graduates Start Life Success Success Success Success, Success, Success! What is success? When four Seniors were asked this question they all gave different “homemade” definitions. Martha Stith, 1984-85 SCA Pres., said, “Success is having a life-time goal, ac¬ complishing it and being happy afterwards. Knowing the rough roads you’ve conquered were worth every bit of effort.” Goals surely have something to do with Success but Lori Mayton states, “Success is having a good career and fulfilling your dreams.” Althougl Doug Lipton agreed with Lori he added, “Sue cess is doing what you want in life and beindu satisfied.” Stepehn “The Woof” Woofter replies, “Sue cess is Love, Peace and Happiness.” Wei everyone was right for Success is what yoi make it and at Blue Kingdom, Success woulc always Reign.

Seniors Work Polls On election day, November 6, all Seniors participating in the Election project took to the polls! The election project was one of the many requirements needed to pass the Govern¬ ment course. Seniors had to write essays, draw posters, fill out fact sheets, participate in political party meetings, define terms, answer ques¬ tions, prepare a scrapbook and last but not least, campaign six hours at the polls. During those long dreary six hours, Seniors patiently passed out pamphlets and greeted people with a welcoming smile. The weather was so cold that Zelma Harrison jogged around in circles, trying to keep warm. Things got so boring that Dawn Green and Michael Martin tried to guess Democrats and Republicans by the vehicles they drove. Whether it was writing summarizations or even passing out pamphlets, Seniors learned more about elections while working on this project and working at the polls, than by reading the paper or watching the news. 100 — Senior Folitics Nothing beats word of mouth, is Mandel Johnson’s motto as she reads aloud the information on one of the many pamphlets.

Track Pride Pours Down Pride really poured down while the seniors sat in their seats, listening to speeches and waiting for the principal to announce the Graduating class of “85.” During the wait most seniors reminisced about the first to the last day of their senior year. It all started with the credits required for graduation and the determination how many were needed. The only two requirements for graduation from the twelfth grade were English 12 and U.S. Government. Then other events occurred during our senior year such as senior privileges (which were not received until after the first month of school), first semester exemp¬ tion (only seniors were allowed to exempt) and financial aid workships (underclassmen were not yet involved.) But through it all we could not forget the good and bad times that were shared. When Mr. Baird said he was proud to announce us the Graduates of “85”, the pride poured even more for we couldn’t hold back our tears anymore.

Anglea Dozier shows off her “moon belt” which became part of the fashion craze that invaded the Blue Reign. The clothes we wore usually reflected the 1 mood we were in. Some liked wearing leather pants and some liked the “crop” pants. WeaJ had seen everything from Mr. Hubbard’s boots to Peter Pan boots; from colored hair to almost no hair; from large heavy earrings to spiked } bracelets; from scrub-suits to Lady Di hats from the preppy look to the army look. We agreed that our dress played an impor tant role in how others judged us, but we were just as concerned about how we thought we looked. We had tried out all the new styles to see what we liked and didn’t like, and express ed ourselves in our own way. Some say two heads are better than one, but Andrea Gillus says two earrings are better than one, with a “dangle” and a pearl.

November became a very important date in Brunswick’s history. For the very first time we had been chosen to appear on the “Battle of the Brains.” The team of Robbie Edwards, Andrea Gillus, Wally Edwards, Doug Lipton and the Alt. Rick Henry went into action. The first and only contest was against the State Champions, St. Christophers. Mr. Alfred Wright and Mr. Blake Hub¬ bard along with a great deal of help from Mr. Dale Baird, Ms. Cathy Cheely and Mrs. Julia Jones coached the team. Though the victory of winning wasn’t ours, the victory of achievement was.

Forget One Moment Th e biggest entertainment event of the year was the prom. However, there was one side of prom that few saw, preparation. This week long activity involved the work of Seniors and Juniors as they did their utmost to produce a beautiful atmosphere with shining scenery. Under the supervision of Mrs. Leemon and Mr. Mims students were able to turn a dull blue and white gym into a delightful black and silver New York Broadway scene. After a weeks’ work and in only a couple of hours Saturday night, the prom spell was broken by souvenir hunters. Each made sure he or she left with a souvenir of some sort. On Monday the students were back to their usual wear and the gym looked like it usually did except for some larger items that were left un¬ touched, like the buildings and entrance. The middle of the week long activity caught Jimmy Spi llane helping to put up the scaffolding to hang the New York City skyline. Friday, Ryan Henry, Kim Radford, Rhonda Williams, Mrs. Leemon, Timmi Toler, Renee Riegel, Theresa Powell, Jason Stith and Jackie Tillar finished New York’s centerpiece. Almost at the end, Thursday’s gym was caught up with much left to be done. Prom Prep Activities — 113 Bulldogs Reign Dance Fainting The Town One week was all it took to prepare for the prom. Juniors and Seniors worked very hard to turn the plain blue and white gym into a beautiful black and gray scene that put a shock into everyone’s system. Students worked hard putting up streamers, wires, buildings and top hats to make the theme “Make this a Night to Remember!” This was accomplished by students working long into the night. The week of the prom, the students looked forward to looking good and going out to paint the town. There were strapless evening gowns, lots of lace, and many extravagant gowns. There were many guys in tuxedos and we were sure to snap a picture because we would never see them that way again. The scenery was picture-perfect as we stood in line to take our pictures. Kim Radford skillfully installs windows in the “big apple.” Kurt Engel determines how to secure the skyline. Mr, Dale Mims, LaTanya Barner, and Doretha Coleman Vivian Jones begins hanging “music on broadway.” glue together the NY City skyline. 114 — Activities Prom Prep In a sticky situation, Regina Green, Angela Adams and Ellen Babb glue windows on New York city buildings. Although everyone complained about gluing on the win¬ dows, Jackie Tillar kept her cool and stayed out of a sticky predicament. Thursday, after normal school hours, Ryan henry installs more windows in the New York city skyline. Prom Prep Activites — 115 Prom Captures New York City Entertainment Tonight Everything was kept a secret this year. Only the Junior Class officers knew the colors. This did cause some problems because everyone wanted to know what the colors were so we could make sure our apparel wouldn’t clash. As Saturday night approached, everyone prepared for the big night. The guys picked up their colored tuxedos with tails, and the young ladies picked up their strapless evening gowns. Some students had problems deciding what flowers to order and where to dine afterwards. As the hour rolled around, everything and everybody looked great. The decorations were like New York City at midnight. The young ladies looked absolutely stunning in their even¬ ing gowns, and the young men looked like thy had just walked out of the latest issue of “GQ” magazine. With the evening drawing to an end, everyone found a precious memory to hold. Everyone took a top hat or a feather vase to re¬ mind them of that special night. To everyone who attended this gala event, it was certainly a “Night to Remember.” Specializing in “Romantic Jamm,” disc jockey “Capt’n Sam” prepares a night to remember. 116 — Activities From Collecting memories among other things, Maureen Moseley grabs a quick dance with Norman Goodrich.

An hour before graduation finds Clay McClenney and soon to be graduate Robbie Edwards with Carlton Crenshaw on the bus loading platform checking out arrivals as a steady stream of cars pour into the parking lot. Kings and Queens Royal Invitations Required Money was the key to being a senior. A small fortune was needed to pay for such things as caps and gowns, yearbooks, senior portraits, cap and gown pictures and graduation invita¬ tions. These necessities broke many bank accounts. Even after all that money, some things did not turn out quite right. Because of one Bulldog’s name, “he” was sent a white cap and gown. When it finally arrived, he had no cap or tassel. Graduation practice had always been fun. One young lady commented that, “It was tremendously too hot to be practicing.” Seniors worried during their last few moments of getting ready for the big event. Would the wind blow off hats? Were tassels on the right side (left)? Would it rain? Would someone trip? The worst things that could happen were go¬ ing through all minds. “Will I be cool, or will I be a fool?” Until, on Friday night at 7:45 the famous “last teacher’s announcement” was heard: “Get in Line!!” “What side do these tassels go on, anyway?” Herman At 8:15 on Friday, June 14, the Class of ' 85 takes its place Morgan adjusts John Jones’ cap in Mr. A1 Wright’s on the field and prepares to listen, worry and cheer through homeroom during each’s last few moments as students. the night.

The weather was perfect and the stands were packed as we began the two hour ceremony that would end with us gaining a new title — GRADUATES! A beefed up sound system helped make the band’s “Pomp and Circumstance” much more distinct than previously and the numerous voices of the choir sounded fuller than years gone by. Rev. David Baird’s Invocation told us the night was underway. Our minds were racing as Co-Salutatorian Tresseline Coleman’s “A Definitive View of Success” began the count¬ down. Next, Co-Salutatorian Laurence Hawkins’ “The Roads We Traveled” reminded us that only one student speaker was left. “The End or Just the Beginning,” the speech of Valedictatorian Tammy Brown, ended with a round of applause. Co-Salutatorian Tresseline Coleman’s ‘‘A Definitive View of Success” helps all of us put our feelings into words.

His “5 C’s” in the conclusion returned us to the reality that we were about to face. Then, it began. Before we realized what was happening, Mr. Dale Baird, Principal, was calling names and Mr. J. Grady Martin, Superintendent, was handing out diplomas. The tension finally broke as we cheered on several friends. It’s over! Mr. Martin’s final announcement sent caps and “diplomas” soaring. Handshakes, pats, hugs and tears all blended into one sea of emo¬ tion. And then the Recessional back to our homeroom for the real diploma and then off to . . . to . . . Start!!!

From one inch to thirty inches, our supporters bought ads of different sizes. From $7 to $160, we managed to sell ads to the local stores and collect early. During September students had to hustle ads, learning the most practical side of Journalism. By December, ad sales soared to $1,700, well over the last year’s total. We appreciated their support and help in the publishing of the 1984-85 yearbook, “Blue Reign”! Sy uia Alexander demonstrates how to get quick cash at the Pace American Bank.

The reign began to pour as the first bus load of students entered the school. Tears poured also as students reunited with their old friends. The mighty, brave Bulldogs reigned as they captured District titles in such events as Drama, Football, Girl’s Basket¬ ball, Golf, Forensics, Boy’s Basketball, J.V. Basketball, Debate and Boy’s track. The brainy Bulldogs reigned in Academics too. For this year marked the first time the Bulldogs had a Battle of the Brains team. They displayed good techniques against St. Christopher, former State Champions. The Forensics team captured the District Cup for the fourth time in a row and also had five members to participate in Regionals and two in State. On the agricultural end of the trophy case sits the District Swine Judging trophy which was clinched by the “top- hogs” of Brunswick, a team of four boys and four girls. This year’s record, like the previous years, demonstarted that no matter how hard other teams tried Bulldogs would always Reign.
