It is the anxiety caused by decisions far greater than the theme for Prom. The people on these four pages are on the threshold of their future—a future of success or failure. They will find success if they prepare for life now; failure, if they don’t. Now is the time for every junior to broaden his horizons, cultivate his interests, and seriously ponder his role in life. These difficult and consequential decisions are the ones that fill the junior year with anxiety, fun, determination, testing, disappointment, leadership, worry, cooperation, and work.

This is what high school offers the freshman in return for the energy, spirit, exuberance, and dedication which he gives freely to everything concerning his school.

(Arndt. It is a great pleasure to write a few words in this year’s annual. Thank you, staff, for the invitation to do so. As of necessity, this is a book of memories. It is the golden bridge that keeps our hearts in touch with the yesterdays and the many things we have learned to cherish in the Bcment Schools. The castles built were in the air and now they need foundations placed under them. Most of our seniors plan to build these foundations by attending school after graduation.Underclassntenare making future plans to do the same. Always remember, one of the greatest things in the world is not so much where one stands but in what direction he is moving. You, our children, are our most precious possessions. If you have been helped along life’s road, our faculty will feel fully paid. Best wishes to a wonderful group of seniors!!! Miss Dana Hite brightens the office as a fine and efficient secretary. Although she has a busy schedule, Dana finds time to be friendly and cheerful to all. 74 Mrs. Betty Slagle assists in the office as bookkeeper and general secretary. Another year has run its course, and again a class of seniors takes leave of BUS. This departure always affects me with mixed emotions. Sadness that 1 will no longer see many familiar faces and happiness that another group has achieved a milestone in their life and will be headed on to bigger and better achievements. This has been a good year full of many activities and accomplishments. Many good times were enjoyed, such as the Senior Play, with its many laughs, athletic events, with their excitement, and the Prom, with its beauty. This has also been a year of accomplishments for many individuals, both in and out of the classroom as they worked hard to achieve goals important to them. 1 would like to say farewell to the graduating class of 1968 with this suggestion, “Enjoy life in whatever you do, do well whatever you attempt. Look back with pride at BHS, and look forward to the future with faith and enthusiasm.” The School Board is pictured below.
