It’s the little things that count Have you ever thought about how much you hate your locker? Have you ever dreaded digging through piles of trash to get that one book or notebook that is buried at the bottom? Having a bottom locker makes it even worse. Then you have to fight your way through a forest of legs to reach your locker. How about fighting your way through the hall after lunch, trying to get to your locker and then to your next class without being late? Of course there's always those dull, boring meetings that always seem to get scheduled at the most inop- portune times. (During lunch or right after school on a night that you also have a yearbook deadline, play practice, and a basketball game.) After awhile, these little things prove to be quite a hassle. But it's little things like this that'll turn out to be some of your most cherished memories of high school. Years from now, after you've graduated, have a job, are married and have two or three kids, you'll remember how much fun it was talking with your friends during passing per- iods, cutting up during meetings, and driving the teacher nuts with your constant chatter. So just remember, although these little things are sometimes dull, boring, and irritating, someday they'll be some of your most cher- ished memories of high school. Trena Adair, dedicated photographer, looks desperately for an unsuspecting subject to take a picture of. Beth Parker shows immense interest in her book, while Kelly McCoy studies with con- centration. It's the little things that count 143

Is Sharlene Downs, junior, really interested in what her teacher is saying, or is she dreaming about becoming a senior? Mr. George gives the Cats a pep talk after their two consecutive losses to Ozark and Huntsville. Whatever he said must have worked, because they bounced back to be- come District Champs! Napoleon looks on in humor as Joe Hicks begs Mrs. Wilkins for a higher grade on his Home Ec. test. 142 We've said it all

Now you’ve said it As the year draws to a close, most of us begin to think of summer and freedom. For seventh graders through juniors, after summer's over, there'll be another year of screaming at pep rallies, talking to friends at lunch, and sitting through many more hours of dull, tedious classes. So, we don't think about the past year too much, we just hope that next year will be ea- sier and that summer doesn't end too soon. But for seniors, their school years are over and there won't be any more cheering at peprallies, talking to friends at lunch, or yelling and screaming in the halls during pass- ing periods. There's no time left for talk. Decisions must be made about jobs, college, future plans, and maybe even marriage. But memories of high school will be cherished forever. The victories, defeats, and all the other little things that make up a person's high school years will stay as vivid reminders of our life at BHS. The horror of report card day and the joy of graduation night blend into a long series of sights and sounds; the meetings, practices, and hard work all come together to make lasting recollections and that one piece of paper, the diploma. So, for all the underclassmen, there's still a lot more to say . . But for the seniors .... Well, you've said it all. We said it all December 6. Coach Doug Scheel fields questions from reporters after the bearcat victory in the state championship game over the Lake Vil- lage Beavers. 144 Now you’ve said it
