School Life Take Over Staged On Student Gov't Day Thirty-five students filling positions as high school teachers, School Board members, or members of the adminis- tration, staged a take-over of the high school on March 3. The simulated revolt was in the form of the first Student Government Day at BPHS. The Student Council, with the co- operation of the entire school, sponsored the d a y to aid prospective teachers in learning about the field of education as a career. Each student teacher had nearly full responsibility of making adequate preparation, presentinga lesson in an in- teresting manne r, and handling disci- pline. BEDLAM REIGNS AFTER the 11:40 bell calls Terry Sullivan and other junior high students back to their afternoon classes.

GLENN AHRENS, STUDENT Government Day ge- ometry teacher, clarifies the Pythagorean Theo- rem, as Mark Johnson questioningly looks on.
