RAIDERS REALLY MOVE Ten Friday nights out of each year Hurst, Texas bubbles with the excitement of the blue and white football games. One night out of ten holds a special place in the hearts of students, teachers, parents, and many community members - it is Homecoming. On this night of nights, one can see blue and white streamers, uniforms, street clothes, signs, mums, or any other spirit- related items. The festivities begin on Tuesday when students wear any clothes that depict the school col- ors. On Thursday, the largest com- munity parade is held in honor ofthe Blue Raiders. Many organizations and individuals walk, ride, or somer- sault their way to the end of the two- mile affair. Then students gather for a yell-in and candlelight ceremony held inthe school courtyard. Finally, game day arrives. At 1:54 p.m., stu- dents fight their way into the main gym for the pep rally of the year. Stomping, clapping, and dancing, the student body fires itself and players up for the grand finale. The evening game proves to be exciting as Bell fights its way to victory and the sweethearts are crowned. The Bell System: Yes, it's got spirit!

HONOFRING A IVIEIVIBER ln a lifetime, one comes in contact with people of varied backgrounds, interests, and abilities. Students and faculty mem- bers at Bell High School are fortunate enough to say they know Mrs. Mary Kay Gardner. On June 16, 1953, in Midland, Texas, Nancy and Bill Caldwell became the proud parents of a bouncing baby girl. The Caldwells moved and Mary Kay entered Hamilton High School. Her bubbly personality expressed itself as she served as cheerleader her senior year. She was also voted into Who's Who in American High Schools and the National Honor Society. Mary Kay also sang in the choir and served as Senior Class treasurer. She graduated in 1971 and was honored as Most Active in the Senior Class. She then entered Angelo State where she majored in Math. She kept up her busy pace by being named to the Dean's Honor Roll and receiving the Award of Excellence. She also served as Vice-President of Alpha Chi, President of Pi Mu Epsilon, and was a member of Kappa Delta Chi. Somewhere along the way, Mary Kay had time to fall in love. On December 27, 1971, she married her high school sweetheart, Robert Gardner. Then, on November 27, 1974, they introduced Fiobbye Kay Gard- ner to the world. Mrs. Mary Kay Gardner: she's an important member of our system and we proudly dedicate the 1980 Greater Blue Raider to her. if ixjlfllf , 7:4 'Sli-iirjwjsiji Sl3'iif'ff OPENING 14
