The number code used in evaluation ranges from 5 points for outstanding or almost perfect performance in charac- ter, leadership and service to 0 points for never or almost never displaying these qual- ities. In evaluating leadership and service, teachers must consider a candidate’s willing and unselfish cooperation in student and faculty projects, his participation in classroom activities and projects and his interest in parish and community affairs. Results of this year’s voting will be seen in the April induction of approxi- mately 18 juniors and 4 seniors into the St. Joseph Chapter of the National Honor Society. Eleven seniors have been chapter members since last spring. portation for music students attending out-of-town music events.

March, 1964 Spring Sports Outlined Ah. Spring! The time of year when a young man's fancy turns to....baseball. track, tennis, and golf. At least at BCHS they will take up most of the tune. With such a wide variety of sports to choose from, about 75 boys will be participating. Track will draw the most students - about 30. Since its initial season in 1962, it has developed rapidly into a favorite participation sport at BCHS. Coach Bamabo looks for strong support from dis- tance runners like Pet» Van Kampen and Ron Goess»l. Returning also are seniors Pat Aldrich and Art Lu»bk«. Baseball will have a fine turnout of hopefuls, because of its unblemished 10-0 record last year. Mr. Roy Melvin, back for his second term as coach, is ready to pick up where he left off. Although he lost some of the power hitting of last year, Coach Melvin has a good nucleus of ball players, and says he will rely on more speed this year. Tennis, which is relatively new at BCHS was dealt a hard blow by graduation. Coach Mauel will form this year's team around Jo» Boa and Bill Hack»tt two of last year's players. More information will be available only after an organizational meeting to be held soon. The golf team, coached by Mr. Jerry Thomas, will be a strong match for most teams. Captain Rick Bach will be joined by Tom Carn»y, J»rry Conway, Nick Pal»y and a supporting team that will be hard to beat.

Double Loss Sets JY Record At 8-9 As with most close games free throws made the difference in the JV's 40-38 loss to Clinton Feb. 10. From the charity line Clinton cashed in on 14 of 19 while the Saders hit a cold 10 for 20. P»t» Piazza led all the scores with 15 while Dav» Lu»bk» hooped 9. Outscored in every period BCHS was crushed 52-25 by Boylan in the final game of the season Feb. 14. Cold shooting, turnovers, and poor by Dick Goldsworthy ball handling by BCHS cageis aided the Boylan victory. John Tauschek led the Sadei attack. Father Lenahan, JV coach, believes the Saders could have improved upon their 8-9 record. He went on to say although the JV's lacked poise and team play, he was sure they had gained valuable game experience.
