pieces and neon prints seem to be the perfect stimulus to modern designers this season.
Although designer fashions are not easily accessible
in Indiana, there are options available to the
fashion conscious connoisseur. Indianapolis
stores like Express, Nordstrom, and Pitaya are
coming out with their own wallet-friendly versions of these spring trends. Express’s new
season of style includes white sailor-style
bellbottoms and optic print shirts. For those
eager to find their threads on the cheap, Indianapolis offers prize resale shops that have
original versions of these hip flashback looks
for prices in the single digits. Another option
for those with a little extra cash, is internet
shopping. The wonderful World Wide Web
offers websites, such as Prada.com,
BetseyJohnson.com, and discounted designer clothes at
Bluefly.com. All these sites offer the latest in new, popular,
and stylish clothing.

With the drafts of warm air coming through the windows at
BHS, students are heading to the malls to buy new spring clothes.
Most items that will show up in the hallways at BHS will be
based more on widespread trends rather than
haute coulture. “Probably we will not see runway-inspired fashions at our school in the near
future, because knock-offs don’t usually come
out until the season is passed,” predicted senior Lisa Wagner.
For spring 2001 runway collections, designers seemed to be relishing in opposites; either
entirely black and white fabrics, like Van
Noten, or heading the opposite direction with
bright, hot colors like fuschia and electric yellow, exemplified by Tom Ford’s new Gucci collection. Much of the black and white look draws
inspiration from the 1960’s Mod look. Beauty
counters in department stores are even stocking colored mascara and false eyelashes to complete the look. A renowned
figure in the 60’s, pop-artist Andy Warhol’s innovative optical

gangster struggling to break away from the
pressures of his ‘job’ in order to have more
time for his irritated and dissatisfied girlfriend
(Julia Roberts). Before he can move, however,
he is given one final job by his mob boss: he’s
got to nab a cursed, antique pistol known as
the “Mexican”.
This movie was somewhat of a
disappointment to me. It took quite some time
through the course of the film to grab the
audience’s attention. However, Julia Roberts
did a great job at portraying an obsessed and
critical girlfriend to an otherwise bland and not
so interesting Brad Pitt.
The environments and situations that the
characters are caught in at numerous times
throughout the movie make the Mexican a fun
and lighthearted comedy. This film also does
an excellent job at dealing with the honesty
and depth of relationships and the human heart.

Take a look at the Guinness Book of World Records and you’ll find
that the most mileage ever recorded was by a Volvo with over 1 million
miles! At 191,000 miles, Lindsay Darling’s 1989 Volvo 240 DL isn’t
doing too bad either. Volvo’s are famous for endurance, not esthetics,
and Lindsay’s car isn’t an exception. This Swedish-built beauty sports a
broken tape player, a broken door, a window that falls out of track and a
broken headlight. “My car is the pimpest ride in school,” Darling said.
“It is a darn cool car.” The greatest memory Lindsay has in her mean
machine occurred on the day that she got it. “I got out of school early,
packed about 8 kids in a 6 passenger interior and went joy riding.”
Sweden is famous for nice watches, glamorous banks, incomprehensible
Muppet chefs, and ugly, well-engineered family cars. Lindsay Darling’s
invincible 1989 Volvo 240DL really breaks the mold.

BEHIND THE SCENES
WITH THE TEMPO

Years from now, BHS
graduates will blow the dust
off their old yearbooks, flip
through the pages and
remember school days
passed. The frozen moments captured in our
yearbook are made possible
by the Tempo staff. “For all
intents and purposes, the
school year didn’t exist
unless there is documentation. If we
do our job
well, that
year will be
well documented
forever. A
yearbook
never goes
away,” said
yearbook
advisor, Mrs.
Donna
Hatton.

The most
trying part of
the yearbook is working to
meet deadlines. “Procrastination is not an option.
Being on the staff reinforces
how bad it can be,” said
senior, Andrea Powers.
Andrea thought yearbook
would be relaxing to do her
senior year, but has realized
it’s not. She admits to
staying late after school,
along with other members,
to complete a page design
before the publisher requires
it to be turned in.
Most of the staff is
confident about this year’s
design. “The design is
much more coherent and
appealing this year.
We’ve gone back to more
traditional format,” said
Andrea. Theme is important for a yearbook. “The
underlying theme this year
is dealing with “IN” words,
such as IN-volved and INterested,” said senior,
Jaimie
Zibrowski.
Jaimie, who’s
been on the
staff for two
years, is
editor-inchief.
There isn’t
such a thing
as a “typical
day” in
yearbook.
Hatton “As a photographer, I’m
assigned to
take headshots of students, and of extracurricular activities,” said
first year staffer, sophomore, Kelly Hannon.
Capturing an entire school
year on frame ensures
that an immense amount
of knowledge will be
gained about the school.
“I’ve learned a lot about
the school. My first and
second years, I could pick
out almost any student
from a pic,” said Jaimie. “I
will never regret joining.”
“If we do
our job
well, that
year will be
documented
forever.”

Q: What are the biggest competitors in your field?
A: Anyone is a competitor, but our strongest opponents are in 99.5 ZPL, Hoosier Hot
96.3, and X103.
Q: What is the most difficult part about
managing a radio station?
A: it would definately have to be keeping up
with the music- what’s hot, what’s not,
executing promotions, and keeping our onthe-air personalities focussed.
Q: What is your favorite part about running a
radio station?
A: It’s a really fun job, you get the opportunity
to meet some celebrities, and there is always
a chance to brainstorm new and fun ideas
and contests.
Q: What are your fondest memories?
A: The day we found out that we had become the #1 hit music radio station in
Indianapolis was great because it was a great victory. Our Christmas show last December
(the “Santa Slam” held at the Murat Theatre and featured performances by the Baha Men,
BBMak, and O-Town) was a big success. I really also enjoyed the time when we had 98
Degrees in our studio and there what seemed like thousands of girls with their faces
pressed up against the glass!
