The senior class of any high school traditionally represents the qualities of the school. The behavior and results from the Class of 1985 of BHS give our school a great image. Through many community service programs as well as town wide events, the ' 85 graduates have reflected the qualities that BHS has been known for through- out the years. Although composed of many individualists, our class has become a close group; more evidence that the Class of ' 85 is the sum of its different parts. We have proved to be a class that believes in participa- tion and school spirit. With high energy the senior class set an impressive ex- ample of compassion as well as determination in scholastic and community events. Hopefully, the ex- cellent goals that were set and achieved by the senior class will be an inspiration for the the classes to come. CLASS OF 1985 17

ALEDICTORIAN Why do we study relativistic mechanics? What good is a hyperbolic paraboloid going to do us ten years down the road? As we study various subjects in high school, questions such as these often infiltir- ate our minds. We have already been through ele- mentary school and junior high, and now we are faced with the most difficult academic challenges of our young lives. However, the purpose of high school goes far behind the simple idea of gaining knowledge in order to succeed in the world today. High school indirectly teaches us about friendship, loyalty, leadership and self-confidence, while also giving the opportunity to participate in sports, mu- sic, and other groups that will enhance a person ' s character and mental satisfaction. As a result of both physical and intellectual maturation, we begin to think of the future and set long range goals for ourselves. We learn to push ourselves to our very highest level of achievement, but we also get a chance to investigate how many different ways one can spend leisure time with friends and family. This high school experience is one that signifies a first step toward achieving our goals and sets us on the path to a full life-experience. - John Grimm )ove: John Grimm and Lynne Telford: rivals in academics but le friends.
