Avocational Skills Developed Wm. Courses in industrial arts were slightly revised this year. Relating the classroom knowl- edge to practical experiences became the emphasis in these classes. With the aid of movies, books, slides, and brochures, students were able to create projects which won them recognition. Paul I-Ieimlicher and Carl Roth built grandmother clocks, in hopes of selling them. Steve Dunne built a grandfather clock. Mark Williams did excep- tional work and built a hydro-plane boat. It looks good, Ieff A Then again. . .Maybe it went like this. QRS!! . 'J' KENNETH LUNDY, B.S., City College of N.Y. IOHN C.

Opportunity for Everyone in Music Support, girls! And now for my next number. . . The music department is one of the few in the school where everyone has a chance to join and develop his individual talents. Some type of activity is offered to all - women's or men's choir, concert choir, marching band, or concert band to name just a few of the diverse areas explored in this department. In band this year, several interesting events took place. Pit orchestra became a class, thus providing the spring musical with a strong instrumental section. The band was also involved in a Christmas event. Meeting Santa Claus on Olcott Field, they escorted him down- town playing Christmas carols. Later that week, the band went caroling in a bus to various homes in the area. In the choral department, the annual Christ- mas concert was truly given a festive holiday spirit. Following the concert in the auditorium, alumni and friends gathered on stage to sing the traditional Hallelujah Chorus from Beetho- ven's Mount of Olives. After this, members of the choir and the audience re-grouped in the cafeteria for refreshments and a candle-lit carol sing-along. It provided great enjoyment for all and will hopefully become a BHS tradition. KEVIN BELLOSA, B.M.E.. Murray State U., orchestra director M.

Snacks, donuts, and hot chocolate as well as cold breakfast cereals were made available for purchase during all the morning study halls, and of course the students had access to the vending and milkshake machines throughout the day. Tatergems, little french-fried potatoes, were among BHS appe- tites. Another area at the school that again lived up to its reputation was the library. In addition to maintaining a wide variety of contemporary and well-known books, Miss Young made the newly purchased microfilm machine available to the students to aid them with research pro- jects.
