Skyhawks Fire Up! lames leaped into F the air and illuminat- ed the back wall of the school. Throngs of stu- dents cheered and chanted, following the lead of the cheerleaders. Earlier in the day, members of the Pep Club had fervidly gathered wood in preparation for Bird’s first bonfire in seven years. Excitement and an- ticipation grew to an audible roar. As girls and guys threw boxes of spirit links to fan the flames, the cheerleaders worked the crowd to near- frenzy pitch as the football team arrived. “‘L.C. Bird is what?” ‘‘Red Hot!’ DECA managed to get the crowd’s attention but not outside with a bonfire. Their excitement was in the commons with fashion news. Hot or not? Find out whether you are or are nota fashion trendsetter with the fall and spring shows. FHA heated up the kitch- en during the year. Members decorated and prepared food for receptions and ban- quets. FHA members rea- died themselves for life after high school and kept the “home fires’? burning. FBLA joined tomorrow’s business leaders. Club mem- bers obtained business ex- perience by selling carna- tions on Valentine’s Day. FBLA’ers prepared to beat the heat of the business world.

I think I broke my thumb. Since when did they start making two ton hammers? This float is taking up all of my free time. All we’re going to do is drive it around the track one time or maybe twice. What’s the use? Well, if one person gets the mes- sage, I guess a mangled thumb will be worth it. I just hope the school gets the message: Drink- ing and Driving have never mixed. SADD members took sec- ond place in the club division. Service clubs, Bird Aid, Park- ing Crew, SADD and Key Club work throughout the year to make all the activities from foot- ball in the fall through graduation in the spring run more smoothly. In the case of a fire, call Bird Aid for help in getting the necessities supplied. The club collects and ee ee Needs distributes food for needy fam- ilies in the community. SADD members encourage people to forget about drinking especially when driving. Key Club mem- bers boast a record breaking year collecting blood for Bird alumni, Ronald Parker who was hospitalized after a motorcycle accident. The family atmosphere and caring at Bird came through again.
