Freedom of the Press Continues (Above) Lady Lavonne Strickland. (Above) Speak no evil, see no evil, hear no evil. In 1735, John Peter Zenger was put on trial for printing attacks on the governor of New York in his paper. The jury, which wasir accordance with English law, found him not guilty and he returned to edit his paper. This was the first step in the fight for freedotr of the press. The Journalism department here publishes a monthly school paper, “Bearcat Eyes”, together with special issues, such as Quil Quotes. Journalism I students learn to write effective news, sports, and feature stories. Journalism II furnishes the columnists with theii own column appearing in every issue.

Freedom of Speech Forever Freedom of speech is the ability to say privately or publicly, what one believes. In colonial days, freedom of speech was limited. It was very hard to express their needs or opinions without punishment from British officials. Today this is a privilege we enjoy. And here at BHS, Miss Rebecca Knight aids students in exercising this right. Today, speaking clearly and intelligently is a necessity for any type of work or opportunity to talk before any audience. So here at BHS begins the first step to keeping one of our liberties. (Above) Students listen attentively to a speech. (Below) M iss Knighl gives examples on board. (Below) Jan delivers her speech.

Library-Pages From the Past Our high school library is not only a place for reference work and reading enjoyment but it is a place where one can go and relive the days of the past. Stories and true accounts of the mold- ing of our nation are pictured in the words written in the many books belonging to the library. Mr. Avon Elder, school librarian, is deeply concerned with building up the library. Although no new books were placed on the shelves this year, three new sets of encyclopedias, two maps and audio visual equipment were added. Mr. Elder is also responsible for the maga- zines and newspapers in study hall which everyone enjoys so much. Student helpers assist Mr. Elder in checking in and out books, helping stu- dents find books and needed informa- tion. Together they keep the library run- ning smoothly.
