Senior class labels 1981 the best We are the seniors of BHS, and we are happy to be here- EEre! It seemed as if it had taken forever, but in the end our senior year had arrived before we knew it. What did being a senior mean? It meant being eligible to have release time. It meant you knew your way around Bellmont better than anyone else did. It meant the varsity teams were made up mainly of your classmates. It also meant it was your turn to walk down the aisle on that special Sunday in May to receive your dip- loma. But most of all, being a senior provided that feeling of status we had waited three years for, and it meant we were soon to be out of high school and on our own or off to college. We all knew our senior year was one to be cherished, and we were happy to be the senior class of 1981.

Drama Club brings stage to life The setting was a circus round, but the theme was far Dm being fun and games. It was ne to relive the Old Testament as r. Kaough ' s cast of 22 per- irmed a revised life of Job in the ay J.B. on December 5,6, and 7. Brad Hinsky and Cathy Cable ortrayed the lead roles of J.B. id his wife. It was a test of faith, courage, id strength as J.B. and his wife ere put through one disaster after another — the loss of their children, their business, their home. But in the end, as in the Book of Job itself, God gave them the ultimate gift — the ability to hope and to love. Singing and dancing dominated the stage for the play West Side Story on the weekend of March 13,14,and15. A cast of 29 brought the sum- mer of 1959 to life as they por- trayed two rivaling gangs, the Jets and the Sharks, both trying to be rulers of the west side of Manhat- tan. The hatred of the two gangs was contrasted with the love of an ex-Jet leader and the sister of the Shark leader. The final scene showed the injustices that can be done by society because of racial preju- dices, when both leaders were killed and the ex-Jet leader died in the arms of his lover. Clarice (Lori Conrad) and Action (Mike Ha milton) enjoy themselves at the gym dance before the big rumble. Lovers Tony (Gerry Rumschlag) and Maria (Mary Hann) share a romantic moment as they sing Tonight .
