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. STUDENT SCHOOL BOARD President, Kevin Tritz, and members of the student faculty, Nancy Red- man and Kris Nitz discuss custodians' salaries and duties. GLENN AHRENS, STUDENT Government Day ge- ometry teacher, clarifies the Pythagorean Theo- rem, as Mark Johnson questioningly looks on.

Senior Class Play FRONT ROW, Left to R i ght: K. Nitz (Minerva Povis Go- ody) , P. Ott (Ger- trude Povis). BACK ROW: K. Murphy (Mr. Davies), J. Kamitz (Miss Har- iri on), R . Hart (Chuck Bailey), J. Dvorak (Peonie), J. Stringer (Mr. Rear- don), S. Otto (Flossie Reardor , K. O'Con- nor (Mrs. Reardon). REVERENTLY REMEMBERING THEIR loved ones, Gertrude and Minerva say their nighttime prayers. Aged Povis Sisters ANOTHER BOISTEROUS FAMILY agrument by the Reardons, spices the play with humor. Captivate Audiences A New York basement apartment in 1915 set the stage for the Senior Class Play, Farewell, Farewell Eugene, directed by Mr. Roger Delgehausen. The play revolved around the pixilated Povis sisters . The authoritative and exact- ing Gertrude Povis was contrasted by the younger and sometimes flighty Minerva Povis. Both were cast as about sixty-five years old. The sisters with the help of Cousin Peonie attempted to raise funds for their Visit to Eugene Box, a growing fund which the sisters expect to use for a trip to visit their brother Eugene, who has long since vanished into Africa in search of diamonds . In doing so, they complicated a romance between Peonie and Chuck Bailey. The events of the play blended the warm- hearted tragedy of discovering the true nature of brother Eugene, with a touch of humor. This year the cast presented a matinee performance on Sunday afternoon, Novem- ber 13, as well as Saturday evening per- formance, November 12.
