4 F rom advanced placement to industrial arts, from music practice rooms to science labs, diversity was the name of the game at BHS. ' ‘We have facilities that match up to those of some universities,” commented headmas- ter John LeRoy. Three labs of brand new computers, a new security system for the media center, and an expanded fitness center created unique and incomparable surroundings for scholastic pursuits. Braintree High students scored higher on state exams, had more students accepted to the finest colleges and nurtured more National Merit scholars than did those of neigh- boring high schools. All this and more made Braintree High School A Cut Above The Rest. PALS Kim Hartford and Michelle Cutler took a break from their work to have a “lively” con- versation with a silent com- panion. A more rigorous graduation requirement in sci- ence left many classes crowd- ed. HOMEWORK John Curley and Tom Clough- erty had issues to discuss while finishing their social studies homework in the me- dia center during a free. Ju- nior and senior students could use the facility without a pass.

v ' y hat is a five letter word beginning with ‘p’ that all BHS students had? That’s right, pride! Pride was revealed in their class spirit, their enthu- siasm for athletic teams and their eager participation in extracurricular activities. With the state championship girls gymnastic team looking to repeat, the track team looking toward its fourth consecutive championship and the cross country team winning first place in the Our Lady of Providence invitational meet pride in BHS athletics was justified. Also justified was the pride in community service projects like the fall blood drive that netted 47 pints for the Red Cross or the peer counseling program which proved that students cared enough to help other students. Never in the history of Brain- tree High had so many done so much to make the school a better and more vi- brant place. PUBLISHING Part of the pride of Brain- tree ' s achievements were its publications. Karen Boyle and Joe Sawyer worked on candid pages for the yearbook. SURPRISE PARTY Pride was part of what made the Humanities classes a cut above the rest. Kathy Devine and Stacey Spencer were happy participants in the fare- well party for Mr. Edward McDonough. 4 Opening
