Future famous musicians could develop from one of the many outstanding music courses ofered. Pictured is Mr. Gerbrecht conducting these hopefuls of tomorrow. Staying in shape has become a national obsession and BRHS has risen to the occasion by offering a yoga course sixth hour. It’s a great way to shape up. Mrs. Daly shows that school spirit is not just for the students, even teachers can let their personalities show through. Mr. T would probably approve of his toughlooking English counterpart. Mrs. D. Junior Olympic contenders practice their moves on the stage to improve their fencing skill, a course very different from most others offered. We’re Different 7

Something only BRHS can boast of arc John Burke and Rob Payer, who raised money during a WBRH sponsorship drive for the MD telethon by shaving their hair. Although dance is not unique only to BRHS. a dance class that performs the Nutcracker, like ours, is special. And That’s What Makes Gs Different! A radio station to call our own; fencing; yoga; dance; 32 national merit semi finalists; band: orchestra; jazz; teachers with school spirit; drama; number one track, cross country, and swimming teams; piano- those were only a few of the varied activities which set us apart from other schools. Some schools might equal us in some areas, but no other school had so many activities which students could take part in so freely. The involvement and spirit of the student body and the willingness of the faculty to provide educational excellence established an atmosphere impressively unique to our school. It's what made us different-special. One of the things for which we are outstanding is academics. A record, even for BRHS. is 32 merit semi-finalists. Pictured are John Finley. David Whitchurch.

School Spirit Everywhere School spirit was everywhere! This was no wonder, because our students had so many things to be proud of! This spirit was displayed in a variety of ways, not only at school, but also throughout the community. Students participated in dress-up days sponsored by the Student Government Association and often wore green and gold attire. Some even drove green and gold cars! In the community, students reached out to help those in need. Some of these activities to help others included preparing Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets for the needy, visiting nursing homes and homes for abused children, tutoring younger students, participating in the annual Muscular Dystrophy drive, and even volunteering time and talents at the 1983 International Summer Special Olympics. Our students certainly had school spirit! Key Club members answer phones at the annual Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Telethon. This is a community service provided by club members each year. School colors are displayed in a variety of ways. Seniors Rob Casse and John Burke arc Stacy Hamilton. Beth Rolfsen. Erin Onellion. and David Meyers especially proud of their green cars and ' their personalized parking spaces. P°se Butch, our faithful mascot, at the annual Fall Fair. 8 School Spirit
