To every thing there is a season, and a time for every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to reap; a time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. (Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8) This was a special time at BCHS. Oh, some may look upon it as just like any other year, with a few special achievements here and there . . . but it was more than that. It was a time of hard work and planning for teachers, a time of hard study for students, a time of hard play for the “Charger teams, but most of all, in all this work, study, and play, it was a time for growing — growing in understanding and knowledge of ourselves and our world. Yes, it’s true that each year students have grown from many of the same experiences that we had, but there is one factor that made this year different from all the rest and very special to us . . . you see, it was our year ... it was our time.
