inf lVl R . Pat Russell was the first to introduce dance to BHS students. As a physical education teacher, she has not only taught students to discipline themselves in physical fitness, but in mental maturity as well. Students look upon her as a friend and someone to turn to for advice on one's physical well being as well as emotionally. Although some students are frightened by her frankness, they find that her criticism as well as praise arealways earned. According to former student Julie Luian, graduate of l973, llMrs. Russell never holds a grudge . And that is a fact. Positive comments were given by her students, who will miss her as a educator, friend and HMother . lil really learned something in her classff lllt was fun in her class'l. Nl won't ever forget the chest- lifts . As early as November, dance students learned of the future departure of lllvlother Rus.ell , but the decision was not official until late February. ln theeaflysummer she will ioin her husband, who works for the Federal Government. After her move to Southern California from up North, Mrs. Russell joined the BHS staff. During her eight years on this campus, she has contributed to the campus' growth. Her accomplishments are numerous: advisor to drill team, GAA, letter carriers and pep squad, a coach for softball and volleyballg a dance director to the variety and musical productions, as well as director of the polished dance concertforthelasttwo years. Her hobbies are also numerous and they include bowling, dancing, camping, and spending time with her favorite people, her family.
