Because our peers are so unique, we also are acquainted with such odd pastimes as the lizard dance, made up by a group of students who make up the Medieval Society, a group which divides the school into kingdoms and casts spells on students who might disturb them in their various quests. The Tree Club, a society for the betterment of saplings, the Infamous Gowdy-Carlson Uncouth Society, (founded by Greg Carlson and Neil Gowdy. the two students at BRHS who epitomize everything that is uncouth) are two clubs which deserve recognition for their outstanding ability to be unique and command attention. And let's not forget the Zoo. the unofficial name for Miss Ri-chinse’s first-hour class who enjoys spreading their Zoo “dust” around for no particular reason. These things and more contribute to the unique atmosphere which is found at Baton Rouge High School day in and day out. His Imperial Majesty (Paul Vanderburg) is another despot in demand. He is a prime example of that age when the pen is mightier than the sword”, but he wields great power with his notorious Red pen. Unique societies thrive on campus

Baton Rouge High was invented with the intention of supplying conscientious students with a college-prepatory program. It supplies more — much more! Baton Rouge High achieves so much in so many areas because of the constant and undying devotion of its students. In no department or organization will you find apathy. At Baton Rouge High there is no time for it. We are all determined to achieve success and experience. One of the most important aspects of Baton Rouge High students is their dependability and loyalty, not only to the school but to one another. Never have so many talented and varied stu- dents combined in a more unique and harmonious atmosphere. A true proof of our success is the rapid rise in enrollment. When Baton Rouge High was formulated in 1976. only 800 accepted applicants attended. By the fall of 1977. over 1200 had been accepted and a healthy waiting list began growing. This year we have grown even more, and the applications that continually arrive present intelligent, creative and devoted students who want something that cannot be defined at BRHS — a feeling of mutal trust and understanding between students and faculty.
