Villains

Ms. Ftentz and a group of BMHS
students took on England and France

in the Summer of 'BA. They visited

S tra tfo rd -o n -A v o n , Oxford, and
Stonehenge. They had several "in­
teresting" bus trips and met up with
some mad Italians.

Then came France. They shopped
at only the most exclusive stores and
ate at the finest restaurants.

The trip was a good learning experi­
ence. Students were introduced to
new customs and new people. Europe
will never be the same now that the
Villains have been there.

Villains Go French!

French Club Members had a taste
of the good life when they dined in style
at La Chaudiere. Tastebuds tingled
with delight as they experienced
French Cuisine at its finest.

Students said that their dinner out
was delicious and that they would like
to do it again some day. Vive la
France!

Prom

Enchanted by the mystique of the
evening, couples danced and played
"All Night Long” at Bermuda Run
Country Club, the scene for the 1984
Junior-Senior Prom, A fte r elegant
dinners, they danced the night away
and topped off the experience by
attending a number of prom parties.

This evening was not only marked by
the excitement of the couples, but
also by the satisfaction and relief of
the Junior Class and Mrs. Linda Ken­
nedy, the prom moderator. A fte r
much hard work, they were rewarded
with a very successful and charming
prom.

Bazaar

November 1□, 198 4 parents, faculty and students
put weeks of hard work into action, braving cold
weather to sell books, raffle groceries, and gamble
goldfish. The hard work was rewarded as crowds
swarmed anxiously outside before the bazaar's nine
o’clock opening. Bargains, including baked and
hand-made goods, sat conspicuously in the gym and
hallway, awaiting the crowd’s entrance while children
played class-sponsored games, nibbled popcorn, and
rode ponies outside. The annual Bishop McGuinness
Bazaar proved to be successful and profitable for all
who participated.

The Sound Of Music

Preparations for the school play be­
gan in September when the Fine Arts
Department selected a musical that
would capitalize on the talent in the
school and th a t would commemo­
rate the school’s twenty-fifth
anniversary. "The Sound of Music, ” a
musical which opened the same year
Bishop opened, 1959, was chosen.
Students were given the opportunity
to guess the title before it was official­
ly announced. Auditions were held be­
fore Thanksgiving, and the cast was
announced in mid-December. Rehear­
sals started in January, and the A rt
Department hammered and painted,
creating Saltzburg, Austria at Jeffer­
son Middle School. On March 2B-31
audiences were captivated by the
sounds of music!

diligently to form one smooth-running
working unit. Two key words de­
veloped into this year's theme: orga­
nization and spirit.

Since the election, the new mem­
bers organized into standing commit­
tees to deal with some of the Student
Council’s responsibilities, such as
Homeroom of the Month, the home­
coming ceremony, this year’s field
day, and the news bulletin board.

The early drive for spirit culminated
in ''Dancing in the Dark.” Additional
pr oj ect s included: S tu d e n t ID’s,
Homecoming, the ongoing Home­
room of the Month contest and a
Spring Field Day.

Essentially, the National Honor Soci­
ety consisted of a group of high achiev­
ers who were chosen because they met
the standards of scholarship, service,
leadership, and character. These young
people who were so honorably gifted in
their own individual ways worked, as the
NHS constitution states to promote en­
thusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate
the desire to serve, to promote leader­
ship qualities, and to develop character
in students.

The Drama Club was
an old club revived. It
had th ir ty members
who met on a monthly
basis. It sta rted the
year on an uphill run as
the members per­
formed two One Act
plays, "The Ugly Duck­
ling" and "Limbo" in No­
vember. This gave the
audience both experi­
ence in comedy and
tragedy.

They took their perfor­
mance to bring joy to
others whether at a
nursing home o r at

sang carols on WXII

semester to raise
money for the Junior-

coordinated dances,

The Trivial Pursuit
Cl ub me t onc e a
month in the library,
where the atmos­
phere was one of com­
petition and strenuous
thinking. Each month,
members divided into
two teams and ama­
zingly, in an hour's
time, usually either
completed or nearly
completed a full game.

This new craze in­
spired and brought
together a number of
fine minds, armed with
a competitive spirit
and a willingness to
stre tch those minds
and that spirit to en­
compass the realms
of TRIVIA.

Trivial Pursuit

In its second year of
existence, the Bridge
Club enjoyed a good
year. Under the guid­
ance of Mrs. Kennedy,
enthusiastic members
slowly learned the va­
rious aspects of the
game, and all had a
good time in doing so.

Bri dge, a game
which is fun to play and
yet competitive, was
enjoyed by all, and new
members were warm­

The 198 4-8 5 yearbook staff was "□oops. We goofed! ’’
made up of a motley lot of burned-out
upperclassmen. And contrary to cer­
tain rumors, we did work . . . some­
times. One could observe us on cer­
tain Sunday afternoons gasping for
air as we frantically searched for the
hundredth freshman photo. Many are
the pleasant memories of working
amid mounds of trash, bubbles and
balloons, and assorted breeding in­
sects.

We nobly confronted the mental
anguish that accompanies a task with
such overwhelming responsibilities.
Someone not on the Key Staff may
not realize the ingenuity required to
have a staff member in every photo.
Illegible club copy, illogical punctua­
tion, lost pica rulers, and rebelling
typewriters left their scars, but we
survived.

We were the recorders of a most
important history — your history. The
school changes you and you change
the school. When your four-year ten­
ure is over and you are drawn back to
your high school days, you will remem­
ber not the hassles and exams but the
friends and good times. This yearbook
is not meant to glorify the present but
rather to share it with the future.

Though it has not always been fun,
we on the staff are proud of the Key
and hope you enjoy it.
