Bellingham High School - Shuksan Yearbook (Bellingham, WA)

74eme: 74a ' High school is like a carnival, a true carnival with all its ups and downs, joys and sorrows, triumphs and failures. This year we are comparing Bellingham High School to such a carnival because we believe that the carnival motive contains all the optimism and gay courage we must have to face the last half of this century. A pink slip admits us to class, similar to our ticket which we have just purchased from Mr. French, the Ticket-Seller. Now we are ready to go inside and look around. Here are the Barkers, the Ad- ministration. As the Barkers guide and direct the crowds to the highlights of the carnival, so the teachers guide and direct students through their high school careers. Going on in. we see the famous Midway which reminds us of the Classes. It is the ground over which everyone walks-Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors alike. What would a carnival be without Sideshows and what would a high school be without Activities? just as the carnival has a Side- show to fit the taste of every individual, so the high school has an activity to suit every type of student. Last, we come to the Hstrong menf, better known as Bell-Ringers whom the crowd gathers around to watch as they ring the bell by hitting it with a huge wooden ham- mer. These are the Athletes whose prowess we admire all year! All of them together produce the courageous gaiety and fine organization that every carnival and every high school must have.

He accepts a problem as a challenge and tries to solve it with the gusto characteristic of youth. x -5 . ' le , v L L Jvzy ly if V ' rl-' l 03' 1 ' 'rl f a i i if A if fa J, V. K ' ffm!!
