5 Winter lcy winds and freezing temperatures may discourage some, but for BHS students winter provided the setting for a host of activities. Many worked hard as members of a performing group for the Christmas Concert and the Christmas Play, others as members of the basket- ball squads to bring praise and honors to the school. The Y-Teens entertained with Christmas in Heaven on December 8. All students crammed for semester exams and the Every Pupil Tests. Competition was keen for the nineteenth annual spelldown held in March. All was not work, however, as BHS students enjoyed ice skating, post-basketball game dances, school assem- blies and class parties. Tim Leininger seems intent at getting by an Ashland player. X Christmas choral and orchestra concert provided entertainment for local audience. Each organization performed alone and at the end combined for a mass number. Miss Louella Wolford and Mr. James Gribble, directors of the con- cert, pose for photographer.
