Don't criticize or mock our youth; Just like you, we search for truth. Hypocrisies won't get us down; We will strike where these abound. There's much to do; we're needed here To help preserve what men hold dear. We'll work with others hand in hand, To try to help our fellow man. In this land our fathers made. We stand together unafraid. Give us room, let us by. The youth of America have arrived. There's nothing wrong that we can't fix We're the spirit of '76 Jean B. Smith, Chesterfield, S. C.

The efforts of the staff made this yearbook possible. Endless hours of wrong sized pictures, or no copy were overcome to complete the 1975-1976 Bobcat.

Top left: Jackie Scherer working on one of the new mimeoscopes donated by Mrs. Woodlinger. Linda is giving good advice, we hope. The Breeze staff wrote and pro- duced the paper to keep the stu- dent body informed of the hap- penings around the school. Con- nie Woodlinger former BHS grad- uate and Breeze editor, gave as a gift, a 35mm Nikkomat camera and two mimeoscopes, to be used in putting out a better paper. This was one of the factors in having 16 issues of the paper published. More pictures were used in the editions thanks to Advertisers and the new camera. Other changes were a new nameplate designed by Mark Smith and extensive use of elec- tronic stencils. The news produc- tion staff types the articles and justifies them on stencils. The final step is to duplicate several hundred copies of each page and assemble the pages to make a complete issue. It's lots of work and requires time outside of class, even though both are credit classes. Mrs. Anderson teaches and organizes the staff. 31 FW Future Homemakers of America is a national organization, that any stu- dent who has been enrolled in at least one semester of Home Eco- nomics may join.

Creating school spirit for athletic events is the purpose of this group of hard-working girls, and create it they did! Through sign paintings, sometimes with slogans, plastered on foyer walls, they announced the weekly games and tried to get the student body to support the Big Green. They organized and put on pep rallies, delivered good luck symbols to the jocks on game days, and attended the meets, matches, and games to cheer their Cats on to victory. The cheerleaders sponsored Spirit Week which included dressing up in all kinds of wild outfits such as, socks and hats, sweatsuits, and 50's day. It really helped build school spirit.

The Cats had an up and down season with 15 wins and 8 losses. Eudora Cardinals were our greatest rivals. Basehor played Eudora 4 times and beat them once in League competition and once in the Regionals. This Regional victory knocked Eudora out of a seating in the Sub-State semi-finals. Since the Bobcats were Regional champs, they qualified for the Sub-State competition in Chanute, Ks. The Cats were beaten by the Sedan Devils in the semi-finals by one point. The basketball team had a few player injuries, mostly sprained ankles. Head Coach for the Cats is Mr. Richard Johnson and Asst. Coach Mr. Jerry Layton.
