Ed-Op Day The question — How do I decide what college to attend?'' The answer — Broome High School's annual Ed-Op day program. There's no doubt that college may be the biggest decision of a student's life, and thanks to the Ed-Op program, BHS students were able to make informed decisions. The annual Ed-Op day program was held to give students and parents a chance to familiarize themselves with some of the colleges and universities throughout the state. Over twenty schools participated in the program, each represented by an admissions officer to answer any questions the students had. Students were able to find information on tuition, financial aid, housing, and classes for such schools as Clemson, South Carolina State, Furman, and Wofford. Students whose interests were in the technological areas found information from a few of the best schools in South Carolina. Representatives from both Spartanburg and Greenville Tech were on hand to give students the information they needed. With the help provided by Ed-Op day, students were relieved of some of the confusion that comes with making the tough college decision. I LIKE THIS ONE. Bud Carter looks as if he has made his decision about his future plans. ARE YOU GOING TOO? All of the students in- cluding Teresa Hammett are glad to receive in- formation from our local colleges. YES, I'LL SIGN UP. Steve Davis seems to be seri ously considering his future plans as he is inter ested in this particular college. Ed-Op Day — 17

Ring Day Ring Day, one of the most cherished traditions for the senior class, was al- most not to be for the class of '86, but thanks to great efforts by school officials, the tradition was carried out. There was no doubt that Ring Day was special to the seniors, and knowing that it would only happen once in their lives, made them cherish it even more. Ann Miller commented, Ring Day was a chance for me to show my pride in being a senior and my ring symbolized 12 years of hard work. Unfortunately, Ring day brought about several changes that caused dis- appointments for some seniors. In the past, seniors were allowed to leave school early in the day, however, due to rules of the Education Improvement Act, the ceremony was scheduled later in the day, depriving seniors of free time to celebrate. Steven Webber quoted, I was upset about not getting out of school early, but I was excited about getting my ring. Though disappointments did occur, the seniors were happy that they had a ring day ceremony and hoped that fu- ture seniors would get the chance to treasure it as much as they did. I OVE IT. After receiving their rings all SeniorsL including Nancy Davis, admire and appreciate this token of their achievements. IT'S BEAUTIFUL. Tracy Kirby is reminiscing of the twelve years of her life that is now passing hei and her fellow classmates by. THANKS DEBBIE. Debbie Shapiro, Senior Class President, greets each senior and gives them their High School Ring during the afternoon ceremony. GOD BLESS THE BLUE AND GOLD is a song writ- ten and sung by our head cheerleader, Kim Wy- att. It was very touching to the entire Senior Class. 16 — Ring Day

Glory Days Of Homecoming 1985-86 Homecoming at Broome is definitely a week of excitement, competition, and just plain fun. The Student Gov- ernment prepared well in advance to make the 1985-86 Homecoming one to be remembered by all students at Broome. The week of Homecoming was an especially busy time with many activities to enjoy. One of the first ac- tivities to get everyone in the spirit of things, was the flamboyant, eccentric, and sometimes hideous Tacky Day. Red shoes, a green tie, black pants, a purple sweater, and a polka dotted shirt . .. the perfect match. Calvin Klein would have surely fainted if he had visited BHS on Tacky Day. However, Bozo the Clown, E.T., and Madonna would have felt right at home. Centurions un- doubtedly carried out the Tacky Day tradition at BHS. Students arrived in the best tacky fashions they could find to display their enthusiasm and school spirit. During lunch, a Tacky Day con- test was held and students showed off their designer fashions. Allen Bigger- staff, Sheila McNamara, Sybil Collins, and Larry Lawson were just a few stu- dents chosen as extremely tacky Cen- turions. Another feature of Homecoming was the annual powderpuff game between the seniors and the underclassmen which was postponed to the following week due to rain. As usual, this was one of Broome's most exciting events. The game was extremely tight, but the un- derclassmen were able to stay one step ahead of the seniors with a 6-0 victory. During the halftime festivities, Tracy Keller was crowned Homecoming King, and Tim Dillinger and Kevin Lee, first and second runners up, respec- tively. STRUTTIN IN STYLE.

WILL YOU MARRY ME? These are the words of Larry Lawson as he and Sibyl Collins walked together to be judged in Tacky Day. 18 — Tacky Day
