The academic possibilities are many and varied Braintree High 1983-84, starring a cast of thousands is set beside the placid, clear waters of Sunset Lake in historic Braintree, Massa- chusetts. BHS is the scene for excursions into the fascinating realms of academics, the arts, careers and phy sical education. The cast and crew exert a keen effort to achieve excellence. Like a professional cast and crew of a movie masterpiece, it takes a total committment to make the production run as smoothly as possi- ble. After a year of hard work and long hours, we have a hit on our hands and everyone can be pleased with the results. Going on location to the various sets we find academic studies on- going in the B and C wings. Those intent on getting down to business congregate in the A wing where future secretaries and accountants practice their skills. The hands-on set with great diversity is the E-wing wheYe sparks fly, paint gushes, clay spins, saws buzz, engines roar and trumpets blow. The “sweat” set is the gym wing where jocks prowl and others toil. These 5 major sets along with the cafeteria and media center comprise the broad stage where the 1983-84 production is produced. John Distefano is proud of his heritage. Jean Laiosa and Mike Jacobson horse around. 5

Even if a major motion picture has Holly- wood’s best actors and actresses, an exciting plot, breathtaking locations and top crew, it can still become chaotic. In the movies, this chaos is held to manageable levels by the di- rectors. Their jobs are not to teach acting, but to mold the actors’ talent and to bring out the full potential of the script. The directors not only work with actors, but with the crew and props as well, so that all are properly combined to produce the best possible result. 6 h
