 Love, hate, life, death . . . The adolescent is said to be a com- plex mass of emotion, searching for a means of self expression. General creative writing, as pro- moted by the English department, offers no last! j reward besides the grade. Tha ' where the Bay Bits comes in. We offer the student an outlet for his creativity, whether he expresses himself in photography, artwork, essays, interviews, reviews, short stories or poetry. We offer him a chance to see his work published when the magazine comes out. The staff puts the book together, but it is really already together. Bay Bits is a reflection of the students— of their interests and feelings about the world around them. Learning to capture that life, the Photographers’ Cadre spends hours clicking cameras at freshmen sports •FUN FACT: During the first quarter of school. Bay Bits received over 600 submissions. and listening to Mr. T. Wagner lec- ture on aspects of photography. They are prepared to enter staff positions as soon as they are ready. Mirroring life as it stands right now is the purpose of creativity. Both Bits and Cadre fulfill this need. Plies of material swamp Stacy Saunders and Pat Selby when they find time to sift through their selection board folders.

Mr. Mengert: Principal His reply In mind, Or. Bauer answers a question from the crowd. This is one of two times when the audience can participate. After three tardies, junior Mary Dickey risks getting her yachtsman card revoked by Mr. Townsend while sophomore Vicki Spaulding gets detention. Chain of Command Works Well About to give his report, Mr. Cardinal looks over his notes. He is first on the agenda after the visitors are welcomed. When girls started wearing boys’ gymsuits to P.E. class, there was much talk as to how they got the priviledge of wearing them. Actually, a plea from Student Congress was filed, and the administration went to work. The administrators OK’ed it and it was sent to the Board of Education. There, it was promptly established as a new policy. Other new policies were im- plemented. ‘‘The student discipline code, which was a State mandatory re- quirement, came about this year,” said Principal Phillip Mengert. This unique chain-of-command system that is used to establish policy has been effective in helping the board and administration work well with each other.
