1 The cast has to have somewhere to veg out, relax and chow down. The cafeteria at BHS fits the bill. It is sometimes a “talk” study, student lounge and meeting place. Some come to gossip and others to discuss. It’s a place for relaxation, a place to stretch out and be free from desks and books. Although many gripe criticizing the food selections, lunches and snacks are bought by the hundreds by students who have worked up an appetite during the long blocks before lunch. Funds are raised, tickets sold, friends greet- ed on their birthdays. The cafeteria is the heart of the school. Mr. Westover (custodian); Ms. Beard (matron); Mr. Le- vangie (electrician); Second row: Mr. Hutchinson (Custo- dian); Mr. Annis (custodian); Mr. Cameron (custodian); Bottom row: Mr. Canale (custodian); Ms. O’Neill (ma- tron); Mr. Fiore (security guard). CAFETERIA STAFF: Front row; Ann Tarallo, Claire Hickey, Lee Neal, Patri- cia May (manager), Pat Lear, Claire Whitten. Back row: Nancy White, Margaret Occhino, Betty Varasso, Wini- fred Corbett, Vera Curley, JoAnn Eldridge, Virginia Zan- oni, Ann Belmonte, Julie McDonough, Elin Young, Vir- ginia Mason, Arlene O ' Toole, Karen Shepis grabs some food from the cafeteria line. Mark Carnicelli and Beth Powers opt for a lunch of yogurt and milk. Not everyone eats lunch in the cafeteria. Chris Knowles and Dave Aron- son catch up on some assignments while everyone around them eats. You can always find some people together during lunch. They eat at the same table everyday. Mi- chael Jacobson, John Morelli, David Howie, Brian Lock- wood and Michael Carlino were an unbeatable combina- tion. ' hi 28

TIE THE neciULS The people who man the offices and keep BHS running are the true moghuls. They, like the legendary bosses of the big Hollywood stu- dios, know more about what is going on than anyone else. Daily they have to cope with dis- gruntled students, parents, teachers, office machines and computers. It’s a rare day when everything goes smoothly. Secretaries are sometimes pushed to their limits. The banter they share in their quieter moments is a mask for the seriousness with which they execute their duties. They keep the actors acting and the directors directing. They are the true moghuls. Top row: Ms. Christianson (main office secretary and switch- board); Ms. Goggins (secretary for Guidance); Ms. Hickey (sec- retary for the Headmaster’s office). Middle row: Ms. McMahon (secretary for computer services); Ms. Pollock (Registrar); Mr. Whittaker (coordinator for audio- visual services); Ms. Harris (afternoon secretary for main office and switchboard); Ms. Bottigi (secretary for House 1); Ms. Lun- gari (secretary for House 2). Getting a little help in the house office is always nice. Ruth Matranga brightens Ms. Caron’s day in House 3. Being a house office secretary can push someone close to the edge of sanity. Ms. Bottigi reminds Fred Columbus to bring in his absence notes, or else.
