Each year Baton Rouge Baton Route High with them,-the school retains more than it I High grows in knowledge and experience as a new freshman loses. Baton Rouge High School has been established for a full eighty years. As beautiful as the school is now. it is hard to believe how meagerly it started out. In 1893 the school con sisted of two small buildings of four rooms each. One build ing for girls and one for boys. We cannot imagine a school being this small today. In 1928, the high school moved to its present location. Miss Reine Alexander was principal. It was her tenth year as principal of the senior high. In 1930, the Alpha Sigma Phi Honor Society was organized. It is still in existence today. The first Beta Club was born in 1940. It was greatly needed. BRHS had won the state rally every year since 1920. It was greatly known for its academic abilities. 6 Opening Unfortunately the state rally was discontinued in 1941 rooms under the auditorium. The next year Miss Alexander because of World War Two. In 1942 the Thespians appeared retired after 38 years in the school board's service. Two on the horizon. This occasion is particularly noted by the years later Butch the first was purchased; since then four students today since BRHS is so involved in drama activi more bulldogs have been purchased.

Eleven years later our first black athletic director was appointed, Robert Holder. He is still with us today. In the fall of 1976 Baton Rouge High School began operating under the magnet school curriculum. Lee Faucette was appointed principal by the school board. Thus began a new era in the long and everlasting life of Baton Rouge High School. The idea was born at a meeting concerning the future arts of Baton Rouge. Someone proposed a school which would allow students to study a large variety of arts and still obtain high school credits. Some persons doubted such a program would ever work. Others failed to believe the idea would ever reach the outside of the room. But they were wrong; after continuous considerations, committee reviews, numerous school board approvals and disapprovals, lack of faith among the public, much determination, and a lot of hard work, the school became a reality. After a principal, Lee Faucette, had been appointed, the next step was to confirm a location. Baton Rouge High, con sidered by many to be one of the finest in the state, wascho sen although it had had considerably low enrollments in the Arts offer students talent chance. 8 Opening past few years. Soon, work began to prepare the old school for the new curriculum. A special floor was installed in one classroom along with a wall of mirrors to create the present dance lab. The walls were painted and the library was enlarged. The home economics building was remodeled to become the Performing Arts Center. In this building a minitheatre, television studio, and a FM radio station were installed. The changes in curriculum had to be established. It was decided that requirements to be admitted to the new school would be a 2.5 average overall for the past three semesters prior to entering the school. Once a student has been admitted, he is expected to maintain the 2.5 average overall and a 3.0 in his major. Majors were a new idea to students. Each student was expected to place special emphasis on one subject this being his major. New courses were established. These were planned around the curriculum and the needs of the students. Special teachers were hired to teach classes which were offered only one period. Some of these faculty members were to i commute between BRHS and other local high schools or I • LSD. The Performing Arts Department offers such-courses as | Introduction to Drama, Methods and Styles of Acting, Music, [• Theater Work Shop, television production, and radio produc- • tion. The major competitive sports such as football and basket [ ball were replaced with lifetime ' sports. Education classes f were divided so that students could concentrate on one par-| ticular sport or get a taste of them all. All P.E. classes are co | ed. The swimming classes are transported daily to the YMCA I by bus. The gymnastics classes have the best equipment [ available to high schools to work with. Adequate tennis 1 courts are available on campus to provide tennis classes a | place to practice. The dance classes are held in the specially, j designed dance lab. For those students wanting a touch of I; it all a class in life and team sports is available. The most important part, acquiring students, was next. | | Principal Lee Faucette traveled from school to school. Stu-| dents were selected from every school in the parish in y accordance with their grades, work, and talents. | Now that it was all set, would it work? i The school opened for its first semester with an enroll- 2 ment of approximately 800 students. The first week was I Individual sports jpice P.E. choices filled with excitement. Students had to adjust to the new j schedule of rotating classes. T V. cameras and reporters i filled the halls. The students were rather quiet until they realized that they weren’t the only ones who didn’t know anyone. Many new friendships were established the first iweek. Students soon found that the more flexible they were the easier it was to adjust. By the end of the first year it was clear that one of the allows classes to prepare materials, perform actual work, and clean-up all in one class period. For example, the swimming class has enough time to drive to the “Y”, undress, swim for an hour, dress, and drive back to school. The 1976-1977 school year was quite successful. The school managed to survive under all the stresses and strains. During the year a literary magazine F OTPORRI, was established, CAMPUS CURRENTS replaced “the Buzzer, aspects of the school liked best by the students and faculty and a radio license was granted to WBRH. The students was the schedule. Classes were rotated so that you attended were able to solve such problems as whether to retain the only four classes a day, three days a week for an hour and a school colors and mascot or chance new ones without great half. The benefits from a schedule are quite evident. It problems. College-type class schedule continues. Opening 11 year was obtaining a radio broadcasting license for WBRH-FM, Baton Rouge High’s own radio station. The station is 90.1 on the FM dial. Such programs as Cat in the Hat and ‘Teen Forum, as well as a variety of music are aired daily. The 1977-1978 year has already proved more successful than last year. Approximately 1200 students are enrolled; over 400 more than last year’s total. The Student Council sponsored the first Annual Fall Fair which combined all the clubs and organizations for a day of fun and profit. Our sophomore class had 90 students score in the top 10% of all the nation’s students taking the NEDT. Through the combined efforts of the 1976-1977 and 1977 78 student councils, BRHS was able to purchase an English bulldog, Butch V. Butch was born June 20, 1977. As soon as students saw Butch they fell in love with him. In November a Pay for Butch Week was sponsored to help pay for all vet bills and food expenses as well as the initial cost of the dog. Much to the shock of students and faculty. Butch died suddenly Dec. 1. However, he will long be remembered by all who loved him. Baton Rouge High has a long and proud history. Each year we have taken the best of the old and carried over to the new. Through this process Baton Rouge High will never die. Our alma mater lives on! One afternoon two years ago in a smoke-filled school board room a group of men and women voted yes on a proposal that would change the lives of many. In the eyes of these people they had just opened the doorway to a new educational institution. In the eyes of some 1200 area students, these men had just added a new dimension to their ever-changing world. Today, as students of Baton Rouge High we can see that Magnet idea opens a new era. the magnet curriculum has been successful. Some didn’t believe we would make it through the first year much less the second, but we did. We did, but only because we had the courage and determination to make it happen. In just 2 years we've increased the enrollment from 800 to 1200. We proved that the absence of a football team does not hinder a school from having spirit. Over thirty new clubs have been formed and a radio station has been added. We are a body with a great spirit. The respect we each show for the individuality of every person has allowed us to bring about a unity that can vouch for the success of Baton Rouge High School. The faith we have in one another allows us to look to the coming horizons in great optimism. We can envision many of our graduates climbing the ladder of success as they go through life. Our volleyball and tennis teams may one day be state champs. The gymnastics’ teams will all score perfect tens, and our radio station will broadcast all over the nation. Our future is full of hopes and dreams and goals. There are no promises that these hopes and dreams will be fulfilled or that every goal will be met, but if we keep our eyes open and on the horizon, what seems to be, with tomorrow's dawning could happen today. Baton Rouge High is a collage of the old and the new. Yesterday we saw school spirit based on a football team. Today we see a spirit based upon our own student body's name and very strong will to succeed; to be the best. Not all of the old traditions have been discarded. We still retain the proud history of the old Baton Rouge High School and the atmosphere which combines academics plus social activities which every high school strives for. Activities such as Belles and Beaux are still annual traditions Our colors are still Enrollment reaches maximum. op f na 13 -— S$f‘ Opening green and gold and our mascot is still the bulldog. But we, have not limited our vision to the past; we have established new traditions and new standards. Academic standards have been raised high. A 3.0 average is required in a stu dent's major and a 2.5 overall average must be maintained Our drama and music departments have been greatl expanded. The physical education classes now concentrate on life sports; sports which a student may participate iff throughout his life. One of the various activities was the new, annual Fall Fair, sponsored by the Student Council. Of course, the seniors and the freshmen are representative o the old and new, but for all purposes, all students attending Baton Rouge High are new to its concepts and high stand ards. All in all, the new Baton Rouge High has based its present establishment upon the best of the old Baton Rouge Spirit exists to High with our own new ideas included as well. Individualism is the key to Baton Rouge High’s success. The establishing of the magnet program was a risk, but we took it and we succeeded. Each of the persons that partici pated in the planning of the new program gave their individ ual ideas and efforts. We are not just the ordinary stereotype high school. Each student as well as each faculty has left their individual imprint on the school. The way each individual president runs a club affects the club the same way the individual personality of a teacher affects her class. Where else but Baton Rouge High would you expect to find a Procrastinator’s club? One teacher told us that each morning two students enter her class face the east, bow three times, and sit down. Now try telling us that isn't a first. I Something else unique about Baton Rouge High is their lack of a major sports program. In the past year their has been much argument over whether one should be estab lished or not. The general opinion of the students is split. Yet without a major sports program we swept every category we i I entered in the Jr. Olympics at L.S.U. in the fencing division. | Fencing, a sport not taught in most schools, has readily 5 become very popular at Baton Rouge High. All students who attend Baton Rouge High have made an individual decision in coming here. We are the only public school in the parish which has a student body based on voluntary members. Most schools draw students from a small area, but we draw them from the entire parish. Baton Rouge High School was set up to •‘attract” students from throughout the parish. But for a variety of reasons, the pull of the magnet is far greater in some areas than others. The zip code area with the largest number of students is 70808, generally in the vicinity of LSU, St. George. Walnut Hills, Kenilworth, and the Southdowns area. Some 230 stu dents come to BRHS from this ”08” part of town. The zip area with the fewest students is 70777, the East Baton Rouge part of the Slaughter area, which is represented by only three students at the school. Pride (70770) to the postman) sends only five. One factor that probably contributes to the scarcity of students from some northern and eastern sections of the par ish is a feeling of cohesiveness and identity with a commu mty school. For example. Baker sends only 10 students to BRHS. This is because the original Baker High was established at the turn of the century and has rich community tra dition. The students of BRHS come from at least 18 different subdivisions. Baton Rouge High is as unique as its students. 16 Opening t Opening 17 BRH campus beauties display their attributes An audience of over 800 turned out for the 1978 Belles and Beaux Pageant in the Baton Rouge High auditorium.

Hvirr jniiie Program 55 The Turning Point was 1977‘s top movie. A mixture of romance and comedy, audiences went in droves to see the film, and by April 1, the film had grossed over $20 million. The film, which described itself as a story of love, envy and hatred ,” starred Anne Bancroft, Shirley MacLaine, Tom Skerritt, Leslie Browne, and Mikhail Baryshnikov. While the story appealed mostly to an older audience, young audiences found the movie to be a dramatic difference from movies such as The Deep, and The Goodbye Girl. The story dealt with two dancers, one who sacrifices her personal life for career success (Bancroft), another who chose to marry (MacLaine), and the conflicts that arise once they realize they envy one another. Baryshnikov and Browne, alumni from the American Ballet Theatre, made a strong impression as the two young dancers who meet at the theatre and who perform together in a triumphant ballet All four leads were Oscar nominated as was the director (Herbert Ross) and the film itself. While it won no awards by popular consumers it -was the year's best picture. 1977 is good year for movies While disco and reggae music have been vogue for several years, 1977 will be remembered as the year that disco music came to the fore. If there will ever be a factor accredited with a cult. Saturday Night Fever will be honored as the disco cult movie. The story which the nicest of critics called “Third-grade camp, dealt with an Italian paint dealer who comes to life on Saturdays in the discos of New York. He meets a girl who helps him and that provides the scant romance to the movie. While critics called the movie vulgar, trite and incredibly stupid, audiences went in steady crowds to view the film which in four weeks grossed over $11 million. What saved the movie from being a mediocre film was the performance of John Travolta. While it was in no way a great histrionic effort, Travolta proved that an actor can carry a two-hour movie on style and bravado alone, and he was rewarded with an Oscar nomination. While Travolta profited so did the Australian based rock group, the Bee Gees. A solid successful group for nearly ten years, it took Saturday Night Fever to place them on the charts where Fever remained for 22 weeks. Now that Fever has begun the craze, one can anticipate many more disco films, but none as inspiring or stylized as Fever. 56 Editorial With The Goodbye Girl, Neil Simon became the number one screenwriter of 1977. and Richard Dreyfuss, Marsha Mason, and Quinn Cummings became top flight stars. The story, which dealt with an unemployed actor (Dreyfuss) and his difficulties in persuading a divorcee (Mason) to allow him to live in an apartment which is rightfully his, was one of the top movies of 1977. Hilarious timing is what made The Goodbye Girl different from the everyday com edy. Scenes of Dreyfuss doing an effeminate Richard III, and Dreyfuss and Mason chasing a mugger were the finest examples of timing this year. Quinn Cummings, in her first major role made a strong impression as a Tatum 0 Neal type girl with a flippant tongue. Oscar nominations went to Mason, Cummings, Simon, and the film itself. Dreyfuss, a popular choice, won the Best Actor Award. The Goodbye Girl broke the world record at Loew's State in New York as longest running motion picture. One critic said of The Deep '’There are two good things about The Deep — Jacqueline Bisset and the underwater photography. That true, concise criticism is what a great majority of Moviegoers felt of The Deep, a vacuous tale of drugs, chicanery, and wet t-shirts. Miss Bisset saved the film with her wet t-shirts, and her radiant sexuality and with a sensational Time cover. Robert Shaw, Nick Nolte and Lou Gossett were in support of Miss Bisset (literally) and their professional acting added much grace to the plodding script, but still critics tabbed the film a “dud. While critics lauded the film with sarcastic remarks, audiences went and helped rack up over $30 million for the movie company. Annie Hall, Woody Allen’s neurotic, nervous and extremely successful autobiographical love story not only scored Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director, but Diane Keaton became a major star when she won as Best Acresss. Critics called the film a major masterpiece and Allen a film genius. The story dealt with a comedian (Allen) and his odd, yet stimulating relationship with a wonky, aspiring actress (Keaton). As her wacky family was cast such Broadway luminaries as Collen Dewheust and Christopher Waltken. In choice cameos were Janet Margolin, Carol Kane, and Tony Roberts. Although Annie Hall was not his first movie, it was his first big success; his films Sleeper, Bananas, and Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex never reached their peak. In 1977, women were once again valuable assets to motion pictures. And by popular consensus, Julia was the ultimate woman's picture; its stars were Jane Fonda and Vanessa Redgrave; its story was based on an autobiography by Lillian Heilman and it concerned two women and their friendship for one another. Julie (Redgrave) is a brilliant Oxford student who participates in activist activ ities, thus, being injured. She employs playwright, Lillian Heilman (Jane Fonda) to help her smuggle money into Germany. The movie also had in its distinguished cast such notables as Jason Roberts, Maximillian Schell, Meryl Streep and Cathleen Nesbit. Oscar nominations went to the picture, its director (Fred Zimmermann), to Fonda (Best Actress), Redgrave (Best Supporting Actress), Robards (Best Supporting Actor), and Schell (Supporting Actor). Oscars went to Robards and Redgrave and to Alvin Sargents' powerful screenplay. Julia one of the most impiortant and intimate films of 1977 made nearly $12 million.

At the Belle and Beaux Pageant Kirk was selected as one of two Senior Beaux. His courses this year include Persuasion, Sociology, Chemistry, You and the Law, and Advanced Reading Study Skills. Senior leaders are school favorites The class of 78 has now left Baton Rouge High School to pursue different careers but they won’t be disappearing into oblivion. Many graduates return in later years to visit favorite teachers and old friends. Leaving is a trauma for some students but for many, it is a joy. Graduating students are saddened at leaving their school, and many are afraid of the challenge that confronts them in going to college. Not all students see graduating this way though. A good number of adventurers lurk in our halls. These are the seniors who see graduating from high school as graduating into a new world. They accept the challenge and love it. A chance to see if they can do it on their own and prove to others that they can do it on their own, is an exciting and inviting challenge. Some will make it and others won’t. The senior class at Baton Rouge High is extremely small; however, it is bigger than last year's graduating class. Due to the fact that older students were reluctant to leave their old schools only a small number chose to attend Baton Rouge High. It is not the quantity of the class that really matters but the quality that counts. 62 S«niof� Class of ’78 looks past graduation. They know that they will return.

Free Enterprise, a new required course, is one such subject. The goal of the course is to give students a view of the business world and the opportunities available to the businessman. Psychology is one way of finding out about what makes other people act the way they do. It is another interesting course for serv I lors. Besides the usual required courses such as trigonometry, English, classes, and etc., most seniors schedules are primarily mind-enriching electives. Some senior class members' schedules are just skeletons of a full time schedule. Contirv ued on next page. . . Chaney, Kerry Clarke, Ursula Collins.

The school has not only prepared its graduates in academics but it has also strived to prepare them in the ways of life. Hopefully, B.R.H.S. graduates will be able to withstand the rigors of everyday life in their respective worlds; the constant pressure from competition in the business world, the challenge of a full family life, and the stress of learning new things about themselves everyday and not always in a subtle manner. B.R.H.S. has taught its students to look up and ahead and to realize their full potential and use it to its fullest extent.

[£ tWJJOAOJ 72 Wh0 t Who MB 74 Who'I Who tV Who’ Who 75 The administration of Baton Rouge High School consists of 3 industrious individuals who strive to effort a favorable balance between authority and enjoyment. Mr. Lee Faucette, Mrs. Mary Lee Guillot, and Mr. Freddie Williams comprise this professional trio. Mr. Lee Faucette, our principal, was an outstanding student at L.S.U. where he was voted Outstanding Male Graduate. Mr. Faucette has been cited by the Jay-cees a number of times for his contributions to the educational field. Mr. Faucette has served as Asst. Principal of Baker Senior High School and has been an Educational Consultant with Field Publications, Inc. He was an Instructional Consultant for Career Education for E.B.R. Parish before being appointed Principal of B.R.H.S. operating under the Magnet curriculum. Mr. Faucette can always be found working away at some problem with a positive and diligent attitude. He is always seen after school supervising the boarding of the buses with a smile on his face and a bad word on his tongue. L 76 Mr. Freddie Williams is our Asst. Principal of Instruction. He was graduated from George Washington High School in DeRidder, Louisiana. He has taught in San Juan, Puerto Rico, LSU, Capitol High Schoo, McKinley Senior High School, and Tara High Schools. Mr. Williams has been awarded the M.Ed. in Administration and Supervision by Southern University and has completed 30 hours above the Master's in the area of Guidance and Counseling. He was Dean of Students at BRHS before being appointed to his present position. Mr. Williams takes his job quite seriously and this is demon strated greatly in his work. Our assistant principal of the Academics is Miss Mary Lee Guillot. She is a native of Baton Rouge. Before coming to BRHS, Miss Guillot was Asst. Principal of Instruction at McKinley H.S. She has taught Social Studies, English, and Humanities at Lucade Jr. High School, Terrebonne High School, and Istrouma High School here in Baton Rouge. Miss Guillot is often seen “patrolling her beat,” the cafeteria, at lunch time. Administrators seek to balance authority and enjoyment into work 77 Like most other schools. Baton Rouge High’s faculty is composed of men and women attempting to educate young adults. Unlike other schools. Baton Rouge High's faculty is composed of a group of unique men and women doing their jobs of educating young adults. The teachers here use a combination of their plentiful wit, wisdom, and vitality to enliven and enrich their students’ everyday lives. There is a total of 64 teachers on Baton Rouge High’s faculty. The stu-dent teacher ratio if 1:19. The uniqueness of our teachers is exhibited in their numerous hobbies and extra-curricular activities. Hobbies range from scuba diving to “mild messing around,” to swallowing goldfish. Some of the favorite hobbies described are swimming and listening to music, and reading. Baton Rouge High’s faculty contains a number of avid theatre goers and many international jet setters. A majority of teachers are experi-enced travelers. All of the U.S. has been occupied by our teachers at one time or another. Mr. Shirley, the yearbook sponsor, has travelled to 40 states and 11 countries. Hal Phillips, a drama teacher, has toured Europe, Central and South America, and all regions of the United States. He travels everytime he gets the chance. What jetsetters we possess in our presence! Many teachers have offered valid suggestions of improvement for the school. One of the suggestions given most was for students and faculty members to become more liberal with their viewpoints. Others were for school to begin and let out earlier as other area high school do, provide more for instructional materials, and have more assembly programs. The majority of faculty members at Baton Rouge High enjoy teaching under the magnet curriculum. One of the teachers especially appreciates the fact that most students here are willing to work. Mr. Fred Shirley, a new teacher to Baton Rouge High, says. The students are more motivated and the best thing is that they attend school. Some members to the faculty teach here only part time, while teaching at ISU or other parish schools the rest of the day. Mrs. Carol Peterson, Baton Rouge High’s string teacher, is one such to example. Mrs. Peterson teaches strings here then travels to other schools to do the same. Not only are members of the faculty important, but members to the staff are also. Our staff members include the janitorial staff, the cafeteria workers, and the school secretaries and clerks.

Mr. Oregeron, the custodian, has long been a part of the school. He has been with the old and new Baton Rouge High School for a large number of years. He and the janitorial staff manage to complete several tasks. They keep our school grounds in beautiful appearance year-round. Trash covered grounds, unswept sidewalks, and uncut grass is never seen at Baton Rouge High thanks to these dedicated men. Many other tasks that the men complete are taken for granted, but without these little things being done by the staff, our school would not be able to function. Our cafeteria workers contribute daily to our nutritional needs. Mrs. Hinshaw reigns over all in the cafeteria. Conditions are extra sanitary. Daily lunches are planned well in advance and with great care. Lunchtime is always entertaining. Yes, secretaries and clerks perform clerical and bookkeeping duties, as well as other extras; such as helping students with announcements, talking to distressed parents and handling a variety of daily crises. Secretaries and clerks are Mrs. Nesselhuff, Mrs. Weimerand Mrs. Reech. Another branch of the faculty is the Guidance Department. Their branch is perhaps the most important branch of the faculty.

Composing 25% of the student body at B.R.H.S., the junior class exerts a monumental amount of power on campus. You could say that juniors carry clout. Sponsoring the junior-senior prom and getting class rings are a few of the activities that the class of ’79 takes part in. Sponsoring a prom takes a responsible and intelligent group of people. It also takes a certain amount of integrity and creative ability. The Junior class is overflowing with talent in all of these categories. Striving to outdo their phenomenal success of last year, the Junior class is succeeding with the help of their newly elected officers. The officers for Illegal parking is Mrs. Richenses favorite pastime with her arc: Jimmy Grissom, Evan Thayer, Wilson, Mark Jackson and Mickey Wiltz. 88 this year are Jeff Selbin, President, Begoha Chambers, Vice-President, Bobette Williams, Treasurer, and Melissa Baugh, Secretary. The officers were elected after a week of huzzas, speeches, countless buttons, posters, and promises. Our officers are well-liked by their fellow students. Several juniors were asked what they thought their class should involve. Some of the replies were as follows: More fairs, dances, and plays. Jimmy Grissom More parties.

If any of us do define it, we certainly aren't as cold and heartless as a dictionary. The Prom holds a special, unique meaning for all of us. No two people think the same thing about this gala occasion. It can be a beautiful experience and sometimes with the wrong person, an ordeal. Curley.

They began by sponsoring a booth at the Fall Fair. The “Marriage and Divorce Booth” proved to be both fun and profitable. The next event on the calendar was the “Anything Goes Olympics.” The jumping juniors didn't fare so well, although it was certainly nothing to be ashamed of. The juniors came in second overall; second in the shopping cart race, the suitcase race, the human wheelbarrow race, third in the screaming contest, fourth in the bread eating contest, and first, yes, first in the tennis ball relay. Team members were Bridget Boutte, Julia Howell, Roderick White, Lee Leavitt, Reanette Fontenot, and Kevin Newman. The cheerleaders played an important role in keeping the class spirit up. They were Laura Turk, Nancy Brumfield, and Patricia Gonzalez. On February 17, the juniors sponsored a basketball game to raise money for the upcoming prom. The juniors defeated the “Silly Seniors in a close matched game 24-22. The freshmen then defeated the sophomores. In a championship playoff at the school picnic, the juniors defeated the freshmen, proving themselves as the basketball champions of Baton Rouge High. Team members were Joe Naquin, Brian Couter, Jeff Selbin, Kevin Shaw, James Machon, George Garrett, Neal Gouty, Allen White, and Roderick White.

The Centroplex Ballroom was the setting and the entertainment was provided by ••Essence.” Juniors were asked what they thought about the Prom. Their replies are as follows: “I think it is the final party of sum up part of the year (that has to do with school). This year we will have good junior officers. Marty Lafleur It is, by far, the most looked forward to and remembered occasion of the year. Patricia Gonzalez It’s the big event of the year. It sym- bolizes high school.” Kathy Chenevert Juniors and seniors are in a class of their own. The prom is just for us. anonymous Rings Probably the single most important object an average high school student can receive, next to their diploma, is a class ring. Baton Rouge High’s junior students gave these responses when asked about the significance of their rings. It's a token to 4 years that I worked to achieve, also a sentimental valued object. The final event of the year was Jun- ior Week. Held May 15-19, it proved to be fun for all. Monday brought out jun ior t-shirts and posters with Tuesday being green and gold day. Stripes and polka-dots, reds and purples, and dresses and tennis shoes were only a few of the weird combinations found on mix and match day. Thursday was Lone Ranger and Tonto day. Not oniy did we see plenty of these two characters, but there were also a number of Silvers around. Everything was round up on Friday with paint-your-face and decorate your car day. Members of the junior class were also treated to a free breakfast of doughnuts and milk in the cafeteria. 94 Juniors Pierce, Lori Pinkerton, Grady Podorsky, Martin Pourciau, Todd Randolph, Margaret Richhart.

Of course, all must take the required courses, such as American History and Chemistry, but there are several other nonrequirements which are quite interesting. One of these is the humanities program, which is taught by the Van-derburg-Shirley humanities team. The humanities classes stage several musical-history programs a year. Many juniors take advantage of the fencing, dance, and gymnastics programs offered here also. Obviously the junior class is “on the ball” and the best class at BRHS. Junior 95 Stone, Elisa Streat.

They aren't new any more, but they're not able to have rings or proms yet, or know the feeling of being a senior. However this has always been said by persons who are not sophomores. Jimmy Curtis, president of the sophomore class, says Just because we’re sandwiched in between doesn't mean we can't break the bread.

They began by sponsoring two booths at the Fall Fair. The cake walk and space walk proved to be quite profitable. Sophomores played an important role in the WXOK spirit contest. They were well rewarded when Baton Rouge High came out victorious. The biggest victory came at the Anything Goes Olympics. With banners reading 'Seniors are Sad,” Juniors are Jerks, and Farewell Freshmen, Bye Bye Babies,” the Class of '80 proved they were number one. Much to everyone's surprise the sophomores fell to the freshmen at the interclass basketball game, but all who were present seemed to have fun. Sophomore Day brought out banners, buttons, and cheers as the Class of '80 showed their spirit. It began a trend as the other classes followed with senior week, freshman day and Junior week.

The group will also plan fund raising projects to aid in the class’s financial situation. •'Everyone is excited about it and I think it will go off great, says Tracy. Seniors of ’79 will also be on the Summer Committee. These enthusiastic seniors are making sure that their class gets a good Prom. Most of the Seniors of '79 are confident that the sophomore class will give them a good prom. The sophomore class is really on the ball.

The Freshman class is the biggest one at BRHS this year. There are 450 ? new and excited students looking forward to their first high school year. Many are overwhelmed by the immensity of High School.” Making new friends and working hard at the same time, is the goal of many. For others becoming accustomed to hour and a half classes seems to be the ultimate goal. One of the new things that the freshmen seem to like is having a milkshake everyday. The freshmen are the ”new blood” of our school. Through the go-getter attitude that the freshmen have shown, we can tell soon the Seniors of Eighty-One” will feel right at home. 122 Frcihmcn Butch V, Baton Rouge High's new mascot tours the grounds.

You passed your old friends at their bus stop. Knowing you were going to miss them, you made a special effort to be friendly. After saying your hellos you started towards your bus stop. Then it happened! Somebody yelled, Hey Maggot, you goin' to Maggot-Faggot High?” The first time we were picked at for coming to Baton Rouge High, it hurt. Some of us cried and others of us threw fits, but eventually each of us became accustomed to it. Maggot High” had become a trademark of Baton Rouge High.

In its second year of operation the group is off to a fine start. After an absence of nine years from the Louisiana Association of Student Councils (LASC), the school has once again joined the many other fine student governments of Louisiana in aiding the growth of student relations among their secondary schools. As a show of their enthusiasm, the council is serving as LASC’s district three treasurer. The council presently consists of an executive board and the homeroom representatives. The executive board consists of the four officers of each class, four students recommended by the faculty and appointed by the administration, and the president and vice-president of the student government. Officers are Mike Futrell, president; Jay Young, vice-president; Tracy Spiers, secretary; Kirk Gasperecz. treasurer; and Melissa Baugh, reporter. There are seventy members in the group. Sponsors are 140 Stvdont Council Johnny Gordon, Cecile Richense. and Melba Brown. Members of the council worked through the summer last year to reorganize the student government and start work on a new constitution. Also during the summer it was decided to purchase another school mascot, “Butch V.” Due to reorganization, activities were a little scarce during the first couple months of school. Monster Day brought costumes of every type to the campus and everyone enjoyed a sock hop that afternoon in commemoration of Halloween. On the weekend of November 16th, the Fall Fair provided fun and entertainment for everyone. The football field was converted to a mini-circus for a day that included booths of pie throwing to teacher dunking. The fair was probably the biggest undertaking of the group. It required weeks of planning and a lot of luck. In December, much to the despair of everyone. Butch V died of natural causes. The Yuletide season brought several activities to the Student Council. The Christmas Dance was held December 16 with the band, “Freeze”, playing. A door decorating contest and food donations for the needy were held. January 17 saw the students jamming to the disco sounds of WXOK spirit dance. The dance was won by students showing their real school spirit by writing B.R. Mag. over five million times. The Valentine's Dance was held Feb ruary 10 at the American Legion Hall. The band playing was Florescent Smog. On February 17th representatives of the four classes and the faculty tested their skills in unconventional races in the Anything Goes Olympics.” The events for the afternoon included shopping cart races, suitcase relays, tricycle races, and more. The victors were the sophomore class although everyone enjoyed it. Student Council Week in March provided a full agenda of events. Such things as Teacher Appreciation, a special recess, and a performance by the rock ensemble were held. A leadership conference was held for students of Baton Rouge High. Workshops on duties of officers, student apathy, student-administration relations, and many more were given. An awards breakfast was held for members of the council in May. The last maior event was the end of the year picnic. Students were given a chance to socialize one last time before summer began. It has been overall a successful year for the group. Publishing of a monthly newsletter and calendar have aided in keeping the students better informed. A group of students have been chosen to plan next year's projects over the summer. Being a Student Council officer can be trying as well as rewarding. On the average each officer spends eight to ten hours a week working on SGA activities. During a busy week each officer may spend as much as twenty to twenty-five hours on a project. Secretary Tracy Spiers recalls that the day prior to the fair (a school holiday) she and some of the other officers arrived at 10:00 am and did not get back home until eight. Then they worked another two and a half hours at home. The next morning they were at school at 6:30 a.m. and didn't leave until everyone else had gone Sti d n� Council 14) SGA involves entire student body in work. home about 5:30. All of this time was spent as all the other work in the two weeks prior to the fair. Although it takes up a lot of free time, the rewards are great. It really makes you feel terrific to know that something you really worked hard for has been a success. The greatest reward comes when someone says, I am having fun, or, Thanks, can we do this again? . Mike Futrell, SGA President, is very actively involved with all school activities. He is Vice-President of the Key Club; a member of Beta Club, Law Club and Hi-Y; starred as the Tin Man in the drama department's version of The Wizard of Oz”; and has attended many state leadership conferences.

Don't be fooled though, BRHS doesn't place much emphasis on what’s exhibited on the outside. Our students care about what's on the inside. Not just '78 proved that, but '77 did and we hope every year hereafter will too. Disco Fever! What is disco fever? Disco fever is, when your foot starts tapping to the beat of your favorite song and then you're not just an ordinary dancer any more. You're completely uninhibited; you know you can do anything, every thing. You know who you are! You're John Travolta = 2. In 1978 we had a chance to witness several Jekyll-Hyde transformations like the above. It seemed like it took Saturday Night Fever and the Bee Gees to bring out the boogie in each of us. Many BRHS students were real disco kings and queens and they got a chance to show it at the Christmas Dance, the Disco Dance, and the Valen tines Day Dance.

The production was a benefit to all involved. Of course, we can’t forget The Belle and Beaux Pageant. This past year it was sponsored by the Yearbook Staff. Usually the Pageant is a medium scale event, but last year it was a full scale gala event. Over 160 contestants entered and the auditorium was packed on contest night.

Baton Rouge High doesn't have a football or basketball team, but cheerleaders were rustled up from nowhere out of each class, anyway. Even the teachers had cheerleaders at the Any thing Goes Olympics. The sophomores came in first, the juniors second, the seniors third, the freshmen fourth, and the teachers (we knew they would) came in last. Events were the shopping cart race, the tricycle race, the who-can-yell the loudest contest, the bread eating contest, and the suitcase contest.

Various scholarships were received by members of the Sr. Class ranging from Unlimited expenses to $200. Also BRHS had 9 finalists in the National Merit Scholastic Test. Clearly victory has laid its bejew eled scepter upon BRHS’ academic athletic shoulders. Tears were shed in joy and in sorrow We cried for the winners and we cried for losers. Sometimes we didn't know how we felt. We laughted at funny things and we laughed at things that weren't so funny.

Its rich and full history was supplemented, by the happenings of the year 1978. The horizons are changing, as they always do after another year has passed, but those of 1978 will always be remembered. The next year dawns, but the old remains. This year has been good to Baton Rouge High. We’ve grown in number and spirit.

It has been evident that Baton Rouge High students are typical teenagers. They drive the latest model cars, say the coolest things, and strut their stuff in the newest fashions. Trans Ams. Firebirds. Cougars, and Camaros dot the parking lot, as well as some pickups and Cadillacs (Mom let me use her car today) and various models of station wagons. Every cool” person wishes he had a ’vette.

Cars are bumper to bumper, fender to fender, and even stacked on some unfortunate afternoons. Vogue should come visit BRHS on some days, when the height of fashion is attained by some of the braver schoolmates. Slick gold and silver jackets, satin pants and high high, high shoes complete the Look. But you don't have to be this far out to be in Vogue. Leather Cheering classmates during basketball games brings mixed reactions. Bringing a lunch seems to give a refreshing change. trimmed blue jeans and cute T-shirts make the grade any day. If students want to be a little more dressy they can always fall back on gauchos, frilly dresses, and jumpsuits. Of course. 1978 brought BRHS its share of boots, boots, boots. There were cowboy boots, gaucho boots, dress boots, lace up moccassin boots, army boots, and half-calf boots. And don't forget to make your hair match your clothes! The Zap was really popu lar this past year. Here's how to do it. Wash your hair and condition it. While it is still wet, braid it into as many little plaits as you can. The more plaits, the more zap you get. Let it dry, take out your braids, and dah-dah — the ultimate frizz look! If you don't want to take this much time on your hair to get the look then just stick your finger in a light socket and you'll get the same effect and a few very unpleasant side-effects. Let's not forget another big influence on the students at BRHS during '78. Who could it be? Three guesses and a hint — a 100 watt smile is one of this person's assets. If you said Jimmy Carter you're WRONG! It was none else than Farrah! Yes, that's right, the bionic man's wife. Look around BRHS and you can find a large number of Farrah looka-likes. All that hair feathered back, the wind blown look. Peek in on a few fresh man locker doors, and you'll find posters of the girl with a lion's mane, and a southern drawl, and dressed in practically nothing. That's a freshman for you! Just Kidding! Yea! Class of '81! The funny thing about Farrah's hair is that it doesn't look sprayed unlike some of Far rah s lookalikes who generously lacquer their hair!
