The Roar of the Greasepaint — The Smell of the Crowd”, and various segments that have been shown to the entire school. Another important cultural society is the school orchestra. Under the direction of Mr. John Gerbrecht. the orchestra provides excellent concerts throughout the year. The Jazz Band, which is under the aegis of the orchestra, performs along with the orchestra and also entertains on all three lunch shifts each week. While performing arts are extremely important to our school, the visual arts, also provide needed variety. Art displays are seen regularly thorughout the year.

iell. and Begona Activities inspire success at BRHS It is usually with mixed emotions that students approach the school year. After a lazy summer, school is the last thing on a student’s mind, for school generally represents a place of no freedom, and of drudgery, and boredom. Not so at Baton Rouge High. Baton Rouge High's students prevent any boredom or apathy from developing. With a variety of people, interests, and talents. Baton Rouge High is a mecca of excitement and activity. Our student body has interests that range from archery to movies, oceanography to religion. Hobbies include tennis, woodworking, music. writing, painting, and dramatics. While it may sound quite motley, these talents combine to form a unique microcosm capable of excellence in all fields. Everyone at Baton Rouge High seeks the same goal: excellence. No matter what field we pursue, we seek the best, not of our field, but of ourselves. At no other high school in the parish will you find such interest in areas as chess, fencing, archery, sculpture, dance or dramatic arts. Assemblies of these activities spark such interest in our school that those departments are now flourishing. Drama productions under the direction of Hal Phillips. Jr. always have large and enthusiastic audiences accompanying them. The Baton Rouge High Music Theatre Workshop, under Ms. Ceclie Richinse's direction, has evoked so much student and community interest that not one Music Theatre production has not been sold out. 2 Opening
