 And now, for 12 points, who is the only present U.S. Senator that drives a Volkswagon ? More than memorizing memorable moments in the history world, B.H.S. history and civics classes match mind against mind each week in Miss Danglade's current events quiz. Discovering all the knowledge it takes to become a good citizen covers a lot of area. In the Problems of Democracy class' study of world and national problems, students analyze personal, social, econom- ical, political, and international problems. While history seems to repeat itself, U.S. History helps students benefit from the hardships and victories of others. For students who want the benefits of world- wide happenings World History is offered. Miss Martha Danglade, carefully correcting World History exams, finds how much of the global past her 20th century students have absorbed. Aw, lets watch cartoons. Despite their preference, B.H.S. Problems class is kept constantly tuned to current affairs. 20

Council Present School with Billboard STUDENT COUNCIL: L. to R.--Stephen Bradshaw, Jerry Stephens, John Leamon, Debby Main, Don Steers, Le Ann Clary, Bradley Brinkman, Joyce Raftery, Joyce Fee, Tom Ownby, Miss Danglade. Last year, 1968, the student council started a project to finance a school information billboard. Looking at the treasury, the council decided to find ways to make money. The student council fund, after adding the money provided to the council through the soda machine and the teen town fund, was about twenty-dollars short. Since the school year was ending and the student council wanted to order the billboard and have it in position by 1969, they decided to ask for a five-dollar contribution from each high school class. Each class agreed, and today people admire the new billboard in front of the high school. 19

 America needs a change and Richard Nixon . . . Wayne's candidate carried BHS as he did two weeks later in the na- tional election. On election day President Nixon carried BHS with 4196 of the vote.

Campaigning for these major candidates were, re- spectively, Marsha Poyser and Wayne Hazelrigg, John Lea- mon and Tom Ownby, and Don Steers and Harry McCoy. While voting in this mock election, Tom Ownby and Ellen Haddock experienced a priv- ilege and responsibility of adult citizens. Young Politicians Voice Choice For the campaigners typical problems arose, writing speeches, winning votes, and trying to stay calm and col- lected.
