hswsjaL cl bsuctuiiftuL ccunpiiA Accommodating the English, Foreign Language, and Mathomatici Departments, Warren Hall represented the heart of BHS's academic program. The BHS CAMPUS, one the larqest in California, was the scene of much rushinq to classes and studying. To reach a happy medium in relation to regular school work done on campus, numerous dances, games, concerts and banquets took place in the Gym, Quad, Auditorium and Cafeteria, while meetings were held almost anywhere. Facilities were available for adult qroups as well os for students. To continue the process of remodeling earthquake-destroyed buildings on campus, finishing touches were put on Warren Hall, formerly the J.C. Building. Because of construction work beinq done during the past few years, the area around Ludden Hall was long just dirt. This year, grass was again planted, which qave the campus a greener aspect. On the corner by Ludden Hall, Valkyries also planted a hedge forming the letters BHS. To further the face-lifting of the campus, on extensive campus clean-up program was undertaken, including the placing of more trash cans in key spots.
