With over a thousand students that attended BRHS in the 1980-81 school year, one could imagine the difficulty in distinguishing a friend or acquaintance from a total stranger. However, as the first semester changed into the second, the students began to reach out to other students that they did not know. They soon found out that “the blueeyed boy that sat across the room in Faces in a Crowd 2nd hour wasn’t so strange after all.” Comments such as this were often heard as acquaintances turned into long and lasting friendships. Common interests and hobbies, clubs and classes, as well as dances and other school activities brought students together, promoted friendships, and made those “faces in the crowd” friends. 1.

The neglected side of the school: those who keep it running smoothly No matter how unappreciated, mistreated, or neglected they were, the administration, faculty, and staff played a very large and important role in the lives of the students. The administration kept things running smoothly by handling the official business. They also took care of the disciplinary matters that arose. The teaching staff also had a major responsibility to the students. Placed on them was the task of transferring their knowledge to their students, and doing it in a way which was interesting for the students as well as themselves. The rest of the staff, which included the office, guidance, and library workers, and the cafeteria and maintenance staffs, worked continuously to keep the school running as needed. All of these groups came together with the student body to form the phenomenon of Baton Rouge High School. This year the Fricassee staff decided to break away from the commonly-used format for the administration, faculty, and staffs sections. The administration is thoroughly covered, the teachers are categorized by questions, and the staff members, i.e. office, guidance, and library workers, and the cafeteria and maintenance staff, are given the equal coverage that they deserve. 1 Overseeing school functions is a job of Asst.
