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

Is anything happening tonight? When the final bell rang at 2:45, it didn ' t take long before the brick building was emptied as the stu- dents left school to go . . . well, just where did everyone go after school hours? For those athletes who were in season, there were practices or games and many students went to work. Others who were lucky enought not to have homework, added extra miles to their cars as they cruised town. Fast food hang- outs like McDonalds and Burger Chef provided after-school snacks for the hungry and television enter- tained the bored on the average weekday afternoons and evenings with Real People or Mork and Mindy. Weekends were different though. They were the times for parties, dates, games, band compe- titions, youth group activities, shopping, playing cards, football games on Sunday or T. P.-ing on Friday nights. There was always something that moved the weekend hours swiftly by. Monday always came around again with everyone back in class waiting for the 2:45 bell and hear- ing the old familiar question once again, Is anything going on tonight? Jo Synder and Laurie Thieme portray Raggedy Ann and Andy while Dana Cus- ter is disguised as Pinocchio. Senior Annette Schaekel carefully lines up a shot while her interested opponent looks on.
