The day wasn't much different than other first-days-of-school at the big brick school building at 509 North Ken- nedy Street. The same stu- dents walked through those same big double doors, the same teachers assigned kids to the same desks, and the first day of school went on as usual. Well, almost as usual. One thing was different. There was a new principal, Pete Prewett. From that time until now, Mr. Prewett has guid- ed, cajoled, and ruled our school. He naturally has many fond (and some not- so-fond) memories of his tenure as principal. My happiest memory is our moving into the new building. That first morn- ing was wonderful. The first pep rally in the new gym was wild! he recalled. Speaking of not-so-fond memories, Mr. Prewett laughingly remembered the time he had to call a girl to his office and lecture her on her behavior prob- lems. She sat quietly dur- ing his talk; unfortunately, Mr. Prewett failed to real- ize the girl was getting sick. In fact, the minute he finished his lecture she threw up all over his desk. He says that one of his favorite parts of being principal is standing out in the hall in passing per- iods. Not to call kids down, but just to watch them. I like watching them change classes and seeing them in the classroom. Mr. Prewett said, Kids, whatever you're doing, do it right. That's a great phi- losophy, and it's what I've tried to do in my time here. Just do your best; it's as simple as that.

REVEILLE DEDICATED Mr. Prewett's philosophy of do your best and do it right has become an integral part of our school, influencing our atti- tudes in academics, athletics, and extra-curricular activities such as this yearbook. His motto serves as a guideline for our work in the past, as well as in the future. Therefore, in honor of Mr. Prewett's twenty years of service, we dedicate this book to him. Thank you, Mr. Prewett.

 Until I was on the yearbook staff I never realized how supportive local businesses are. What with ad sales, Mr. Miss BHS posters, and Bearcat Boosters, they really seem to be be- hind us all the way. - Shannon Dunn Photo by Ric Lunsford How supportive of our school are area businesses? I've noticed how local businesses always support school fundraisers. To me, that shows just how much they care about our school. - Jenni- fer Holt Photo by Trena Adair Ric Lunsford blows the last little bit of his hard earned cash on gas. Photo by Ashleigh Thrasher
