Compliments of BLUESTEM STUDENT COUNCIL Leon, Kansas Journalists Felt the Pulse, Reported BHS Happenings First quarter was a trial and error period in the journalism room as beginning journalists began learning the technique of a writer. LION'S ROAR, the bi-weekly newspaper, and the LION'S TALES , BHS yearbook, were written and arranged by the jour nalism class and yearbook staff. It was often a close call for the staff to get the paper out and rolling before the dismissal bell. The Health room at BHS was FRONT - Doris Britt, Kathy Shaffer, Cindy Edwards, Cathy Scovell, Judy Keplar, Diane Gray, Diane Proctor Pat Lowe , Gwen Genter, Debbie McAllister, Mrs. Kay Highbarger, advisor. devoted to the writers for a news room.

The story revolved around the trials and tribulations of a typical high school counselor. Competing against and sharing an office with the new woman counselor was only the first problem encountered by mild- mannered Gordon Warren, a confirmed bachelor. Warren and Jane Gardner, a first- year teacher, found that even coun- selors have problems, but they ironed them out to the romantic enjoyment of all. 39
