Spring Brings Peak Of The ’84 Year Every year goes by and we have to bid farewell to another class of seniors. But everyone holds special memories of the times they shared with beloved peo- ple. These students have already reached one goal in their life, they have now finished school and many have gone on to further their knowledge in various ways. We would like to wish all of these people good luck, because we hope they succeed in what they try to accomplish. Before we relinquish our senior friends, it is a tradition to hold the Jun- ior Senior prom, sponsored by the Ju- niors. “All Night Long” was the theme to last years prom and the pictures tak- en helped to hold the cherished memo- ries of that anticipated night. Prepara- tion was a big part for each person that participated. And the place in which it is held, Spartanburg Memorial Audito- rium also required preparation. Dresses and tuxedoes were worn by all for the formal occasion. Many smiles were on the faces of each couple. To all the Sen- iors, the hopes were of the prom lasting “All Night Long.” Michelle Greenway and her escort Phillip Moore discuss with Ms. Betty Stephens their plans for the evening.

Phil Neidlinger slams the volleyball over the net. Eating, Intramural Participation And Socializing — B.H.S.’s Cafeteria “Daze” Lunch time provided students with a chance to take a break in the middle of their busy schedule. Eating in the cafe- teria or sitting out in the courtyard al- lowed time for building friendships as well as catching up on assignments that were due. Intramurals were also counted as a viable option, enabling students to re- lease tension through participating in varied sports. Teams were chosen for first and second lunch and battles were fought with zest and pride. Each time a victory was won, teammates congratu- lated each other with high fives and cheers of encouragement from the fans for their favorite team. The gym often buzzed with a low roar of excitement as teams battled in competition for their teams name and year to be placed on the Intramurals Champion Plaque dis- played in the gym lobby. During lunch, these ten playful guys chose to play a game of tackle with a boot instead of a football.
