It has been a challenging and exciting year. As we review the activities of the year, season by season, we find that this year has held many moments for us to remember. Fall is always associated with studying and scholastic undertak- ings; winter, with sports and club projects; and spring, with numer- ous, exciting activities including conventions, science fairs, and the prom. Each of these seasons has special meaning for us... each contains “Moments to Remember !’’ af, - A seasonal presentalon rat Contents Fall ACGMINIStrAviON. wee page 16 LUCE tS oe a ets eee, page 26 Winter OTCAanizZalions meee ene eee page 56 DDOLtS ear ee eae me ae ee page 78 Spring HG@AGUTCS Weer.

For each of us these friends are different, but for all of us there is one whom we have in common—one who is never too busy when we need him, and one who is always there, greeting us with a smile. This one, whom we esteem for his integrity, admire for his unfailing en- ergy and sincerity, and honor for his service is Mr. William Lee, our principal, guide, and friend. ae Se RS ae 4) a, = CULU « « Nevotled fo Growth an Autumn S to Gout me In the fall students at BHS settle down once more into the routine of classes and study.
