Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness .. We the People NOTIONS ... Everyone in the high school managed to look into the office for either an excused (you hoped) absence or an unexcused tardy slip to take to the appropriate teacher for his or her signature. Sometimes snow blocked the roads on blustery winter mornings. and absence slips fell as quickly as the snowflakes. Buses ran late. To pass the time, since classrooms were so empty, students amused themselves by playing Password. winning at French or Latin football, and building towers out of National Geographies. But as the snow disappeared, outside, students began to reappear. Warm spring weather brought students outdoors to eat candy bars or to play a quick game of Frisbee. 4 ...OF THE PAST Many students held part-time jobs at gas stations, on farms, at greenhouses, at restaurants, and at the Dairy Queen. Contact lenses were quite popular, and soft lenses made it possible for more people to enjoy the benefits of contacts. Often, teachers had to excuse students to the bathrooms to get the dust out of their eyes. CB (citizen’s band) radios were a cult. Even First Mama Betty Ford got in on the scene, calling her good buddies to watch out for the smokies. Everyone secretly wished for a Vette under the Christmas tree. 5 Clothes: Updates of Classics Jeans remained to dominate teenagers' wardrobes. Harry Appelbaum's in Decatur provided a wide selection of jeans--seldom did two pairs look alike. Many broke the monotony of wearing jeans by wearing bib overalls with chambray shirts. Many guys and girls at BHS kept beauty salons in business when they decided to rid themselves of their long locks. Herbal shampoos, blow dryers, and permanents became a part of keeping one’s hair in top shape. Landscapes, tweeds, and portraits made artistic works out of sweaters. Cardigans took the novel look of The Wrap. Gauze was a popular fabric for numerous peasant blouses. 6 Shirts took on a Western flair with contrasting yokes, sleeves, and cuffs. Messages, glitter, and prints added variety to the immortal Tee shirt. Jewelry' was worn by both the male and female populations at BHS. Many chokers were made of liquid silver, wooden beads, feath ers, and macrame cord. Turquoise was set in bracelets, earrings, rings, and chokers, as well. Many students gazed at their mood rings to determine their innermost feelings. RETRACING MARKS OF FADED SEAMS An assortment of shoes trudged through the halls of BHS: earth shoes, sandals, platforms, sneakers, wedgies, and saddles. Socks were argyles, flowered, and some even sported pictures of hamburgers and french fries. Girls decided to drop the hemlines of their skirts and dresses to below the knee. Many updated the classic forties designs that actresses like Betty Grable wore. Jumpsuits were a modernized version of a mechanic's coveralls, for both men and women, and were trimmed with decorative braids, belts, and buttons. Many looked as if they were a part of Evel Knievel's wardrobe. PATTERNS TO FOLLOW Whether he's shooting baskets, clowning around in American History, or coaching the team. Gene Schnierle always looks on the brighter moments of life. We dedicate this yearbook to him, for helping us to realize OUR Stitch In Time. 9 BERTY, AND THE PURSUI LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE AND THE PURSUIT OF HA TY, AND THE PURSUIT PINESS LIFE, LIBERTY, LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE F HAPPINESS LIFE, L ND THE PURSUIT OF HA PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS F HAPPINESS LIFE, L PURSUIT OF HAPPINE INESS LIFE, LIBERTY, iOttUGOmilM BULLDOG VICTORY A TRUE HEAVEN 1: The students really ate up the Pom Pon's parody of Mr. Jaws. 2: Janet Geese sewed up the Student Council’s Little Angel award. 3: GAA's float didn't stink--it got first place. 4: Tom Whitfield and Jodi Camden patch up their differences. 5 6: Connie Morris retaliates when Carol Leitz won't reveal the name of her fashion designer. 7: Nancy Fisher and Sandy Fendley play a flute-piano duet of Stairway to Heaven. 8: The Science Club float bit off second place. 2 1 12 'ALL THAT GLITTERS IS GOLD' Led Zeppelin’s rock hit, Stairway to Heaven, created the atmosphere for the homecoming activities.

In Our Town, we traveled through the lives of the people of Grover’s Corners, New Hamp-shire--daily life, marriage, and death. Director Donna Sharp commented, To me, the play was a very worthwhile experience. It took a strong cast to master the pantomime and carry out the dramatic theme to a successful conclusion. I was very proud of the cast for their professional attitude. The most frequent comment made to me after the play was that it really made people stop and think about how quickly life passes, and the need to appreciate each day. This, in itself, makes the play a success. 16 'TOUCHING' Group: Row 1: Connie Morris, Mark Flavin, Barb Whalen, Jim Johnson, Janet Fendley, Kristi Whaley, Becky McCabe, Teresa Bartram, Cathy Philbrook.

DEADLINES SHOW RAW EDGES A yearbook runs deeper than the ink on its pages-as anyone who has ever worked on a yearbook knows. Pages must first be planned and photo-assignment sheets made. The best pictures are processed and selected from the many possibilities. Later they must be cropped and tagged. Many long hours are spent writing copy and headlines by the Copy Staff, measuring each letter so that it will fit exactly in the space provided. Finally, layouts are completed, pictures adapted to the layout, and close inspection is made of all details. Hopefully, the pages will turn out the way they were planned. Each person involved finds himself standing alone waiting for compliments but usually hears everything he did wrong. 1: Row 1: Debbie Jordan, Julie Foran, Kathy Kirwan, Jodi Camden, Lori Miller, Kim Jones.
