Blue White You Brrring! The 2:00 bell rings, an- nouncing the end of the academic day at BHS. You rush out of Q-peri- od class to find your best friend, now you finally have a chance to tell her the secret you ' ve been sim- ply dying to tell her all day. But you can ' t talk too long because you have a citizenship committee meet- ing, and then jazz ensemble audi- tions. If you don ' t finish all that by 2:45, you ' ll scream because that ' s when soccer practice starts. And above all else, don ' t forget to drive your sister to her gymnastics class before you go to work. Oh yes, and pick up some milk at the supermar- ket on your way home. no problem. The average teen- ager these days tries to do more things at once than is humanly pos- sible, not even adults, who live in the oh-so-terrible ' real world could handle some of the things we do. It ' s a balancing act that calls for all the energy of a youth and matu- rity of an adult. The two or three hours right after school are quite possibly when the most learning of our high school careers takes place. This time spent with friends is what we will remember most about our four years here. Those who would like to partici- pate in something but say they don ' t know where to look just have to open their eyes. On any day after school, there is almost always something happening from athlet- ics to music to yearbook. The deci- sion of whether or not to join an after school activity is left up to the student. How one fills his or her time outside of academic studies is part of the learning process and de- velopment of our individuality. Patiently waiting, Barclay Schick looks on as he is wrapped for practice. The old cafeteria is a perfect place for after school studying, as displayed by Diana Bur- ton. 14 AFTER SCHOOL

' Spirit Weeli gives people a chance to express tiiemselves freely. Wave and smile at the camera, says Andrea Abbott to Sue Clancy and Paul Harrington as they walk with spirit in mind. Jennifer Sutton certainly shows spirit in this bandana split outfit! Of course there must be a senior boat in the senior hall!
