ERflDUflTIQN FQREEflST: «0T, hot, HQT! H OT! Brother, was it ever. No one who went to the BHS graduation could ever forget the incredible heat. The smart ones staked out their place in the meager shade with their lawn chairs before the crowds arrived. The resourceful ones brought cans of cold tonic with them to beat the heat. The careful ones dabbed on sun screen and unfurled their umbrellas to cut the sun and gain relief from the 90+ heat. After some fussing with caps that wouldn’t go on straight and collars that kept slipping, the grads walked from the stuffy gym to the track at the Herget Memorial Stadium and began their stately march onto the football field before the cameras of Adams Russell cable and the click- ing cameras of adoring parents and friends. Of the 410 in the class, 382 actu- ally made it through the maze of requirements and final exams to graduation. Diane Lyndon’s honors address ROSE Receiving a round of applause and one of the two LeGrand scholar- ships was Mary Ellen Gunn. (Photo- graph by Nicole Fiorcntino) SURPRISE Irene Murphy was presented with the Rugnetta Scholarship during the presentation of scholarships at the beginning of the program. (Photo- graph by Nicole Fiorcntino) was unusual for its emphasis on a topic which most of the graduating class had probably not considered: waste. Toxic waste, overflowing landfills and our disposable society which generates mountains of non- biodegradable trash every day were several of the concerns which Diane raised. She urged, “We the people must stop being a throw-away soci- ety because what we try to throw away doesn’t go away; it stays.” Almost $43,000 in scholarship aid was given to members of the class in presentations by local orga- nizations. As the recipients trooped to the microphone to accept their awards the wilting heat was relieved only by occasional wisps of a breeze. As the graduates finally came to the podium to receive their diplomas from members of the school com- mittee, the ceremony drew to a close.
