During the course of our senior year we had many days in which to prepare for the big event — GRADUATION!! Early in the year we had to order announcements, name cards, memory books, class keys and other '85- momentos. We always conducted these business transactions in the cafeteria where we reluctantly gave our money to our Herff Jones representative. To prepare us for our future, College Day was held in the fieldhouse where many colleges and armed forces came to inform us of what they had to offer. We were alloted 20 minute sessions with any colleges that we were interested in. Whether we were planning for our future or not. College Day was fun because w-e got out of classes and got to spend time with our friends. Decisions, decisions, decisions! Our class was made up of so many different personalities and so many various views of opinions that no matter what decisions had to be made about graduation there was always some kind of controversy. — Should we have our graduation gowns in black or some other color? What kind of class song should we use? Should we have outrageous class colors or should we choose subdued ones? And so on. But after all the friction was settled we finally put our heads together and made the decisions. In the last couple weeks of being a senior, com- mittees were formed for senior wills, histories, and prophecies. The people on the committees had a great time thinking up all the funny things to read out loud to the whole school on Class Day. And finally the days came when we practiced for graduation and baccalaureate. We not only got out of a couple of classes, we got to spend time together as a WHOLE class. Although all the decisions about graduation were not happily accepted by everyone, we can all say that it was fun trying to make the decisions about one of the most important events in our life, gradu- ation. We wouldn't have missed it for the world! Norman. Greg, Joel, and Todd having fun during College Day An officer showed what the U.S. Army had to offer. Measuring for caps and gowns? Barbara L..

ZDorl of un Grad night 1985. Worlds of Fun. Kansas City . . May 3 the seniors of BHS loaded on the buses and headed to K.C. for a night of freedom. The long Five hour bus trip to Kansas City, after almost a full day of school, was exhausting. A few tried to seek rest for the big night ahead — but ghetto blasters and general excitement, prevailed. After a loud and hot bus ride everyone was relieved to get there. Everyone was just as re- lieved to get back on the buses after a full night of fun. Most students found the bus ride back a good time to get some sleep. Everyone joyfully jumped off the buses for the short walk to the entrance. Above: Stacey Bowman and Dawn Smith. Becky McClure and Lisa Rowland decided to rest before the night of fun. Scott Gargus and Julia Rit- ter take a break from the fun to rest and talk. Left: Connie Alff was one of many who re- gressed in years to enjoy the carousel ride at the park. Con- nie is one of several stu- dents who was either married or engaged to be married. Students also jammed to the Greg Kihn Band and Fodo, musical artists. Mr. Woods after the mind bog- gling ride with the sen- ior class on a bus for 5 hours, found a little relief by calling home once he had ar- rived. 20
