The role of a SCHOLAR All students were required to take on the role of the scholar because an educa- tion was the reason we were all here. This year’s graduating class was the first class to be affected by the Raise Bill. This required students to take more academic classes in addition to one-half credits each in practical arts, fine arts, and life management skills. The number of credits required for graduation also increased. Fortunately, BHS had a wide variety of both academic and vocational classes so that the student had an abun- dance of courses from which to choose. All students were able to select which acts they performed in. The scenes in these acts changed from day to day. Each day students expanded their talents through the direction of their teachers. The teachers taught students all about the subject from the scenes and acts they performed. Often they gave students lines to learn at home. By paying close attention in class and learning their lines, many were able to take on leading roles. The teachers also gave support and encouragement needed. Through the role of the scholar, students gained the knowledge needed for their future and they acquired the ability to use this knowledge. (1) Now let's sec...

The role of an ATHLETE Some students chose to take on the role of the athlete. This role required special skills, talent, dedication, and hard work. The athlete had many long rehearsals before each peformance. He had to give his all at all limes — always striving to become even better. Here at Bartow High we were blessed with numerous athletes who constantly led our school to victory. We were proud of their accomplishments. They were rewarded not only by the cheering crowd but also by their own self- satisfaction, knowing they had done their best. Through performing, they also had built up their physical and mental endurance. All students took on the role of the athlete some time in their high school years through physical education classes. Their role, however, did not re- quire skill, talent, or dedication —just hard work. (1) Monica concentrates on her start. (Monica White) (2) You just can't stop that Jacket machine. (Andre Patterson. Matt Greene) (3) Easy does it now; conie to Mamma. (Roger Williams) (4) Kathy gets ready to deliver that awesome serve. (Kathy Purvis) (5) Just look at it spin.

(Chris Wynn) (10) Mrs. Sabb looks on as the cheerleaders build a pyramid. (11) This team has it all! (12) P.E. can be exciting. (13) Andy cools down after a long run. (Andrea Caraker) 7
