We ' re part of a changing generation With each new day there is a new complaint, the biggest and most common, being Nothing ever changes. But, everything changes, some are just more noticeable than others. The biggest year-to-year change is in the stu- dents. Do you see exactly the same people year after year? Of course not, each year new faces go racing by, faces you have never seen before, faces that may soon become best friends. Ted Hutker and Sam Schnurr take it easy before the mad rush to first period. The Band of Braves start Halloween off with a laugh as Marie Miller, Cindy Macklin, Elaine Miller, Patty Green, Lisa Turner, Teresa Woebbeking, and Connie Schueler parade down Second Street. Alan Lautzenhiser spends the last few minutes of study hall relaxing from an overloaded day of classes. 2— Opening Bellmont survived the biggest change in staff this year, since Monmouth, Decatur, and St. Joseph consolidated in 1967. Yes, eleven new teachers were busy doing what they do best . . . edu- cate. The athletes had to deal with many changes too. Thirteen out of thirty coaching positions were put into new hands. This wasn ' t the only change in the Athletic Department. For the first time in the history of Bellmont, women ' lib showed its power, and seveil girls participated in cross country a once-known all male sport. Do you take the same classe year after year? No way! Each nev year there is a new variety o classes to fit into your schedule. Nothing really ever stays th same, everything keeps in step witl the changing times.

First day jitters pass by quickly Another year . . . another BHS . . . new faces . . . old faces . . . new friends . . . old friends . . . new teachers . . . new classes ... all made a small part of the semi-new routine. The first time getting off the bus or out of the car and seeing the huge mass of bricks made us all a little nervous. Weren ' t you afraid of stumbling into the wrong class and feeling like a complete fool, or getting to the end of the lunch line and remembering that your money is still at home on your dresser? The first day jitters were all over- come as everything fell into place and the new experiences became just a part of life. Stu Smith finds an ornery way to keep lunch from getting boring and poor Missy Macke gets stuck with the mess. Ken Petruska, Ron Bedwell and John Brune do their share of the work on the freshman float which had the theme of Bad News for the Bulldogs. Ted Porter tries not to move while he poses for his senior picture. 4 — Opening
