Every year the school tries to find new and better ways to improve the school system in one way or another. This year the school board had an election just like they have every other year. Some new members were elected and some previous members were re-elected. Those that are now on the board are: President — John Strack, Vice President — Mike Morgan, Secretary — Mick Galli-van. Others that are on the board are: Marilyn Ayers, Jack McHale, Eugene Corum, and Larry Rogers. The members that are elected are elected on a four year basis. While they are on the board they do the hiring and firing, spend the districts money and make major decisions. Where would we be without them? The administration, custodians, and cooks are also needed in the school, because without the cooks half of the students at BHS would be malnutritioned. Without the custodians the school would be a very dirty mess! Without the administration the school would be in a big mess, there would be no discipline, there would be no classes because the teachers would be in the office answering the phone. The same is true about teachers, without them there would be no such thing as education. Some students think that teachers have it easy. While they are sitting on their chairs, we, the students are studying our brains out, trying to pass the daily quizzes, semester exams, and researching for reports. This isn’t the whole truth! Sure they get a lot of time off where they don’t have anything to do. But, they also have to do other things, such as grade tests, and plan assignments. So you see, where would we be, without all of these people.

LAYING time and more It began in August and lasted clear up to the end of school. If you were a dedicated athlete this is how it was for you: after a seven hour school day you still had enough strength to sweat it out at a grueling two hour practice. Long hard practices they were, but this is what made Be-ment sports what they were. Even though the majority of the sports (except varsity football) didn't have the best year ever, they all showed a tremendous amount of skill and fortitude. The one team that did do exceptionally well this year was the varsity football team. They shared the LOVC title with Villa Grove. Of course there were some individuals who excelled, but there were also those who just went out for the sport to “be on the team.” “Everybody didn’t get to play all the time, but even the “benchwarmers” never really warmed the benches because they were busy cheering their team on along with the cheerleaders and the fans in the stands. Even though to some non-athletes it seemed like the work of getting into shape seemed wasted, an athlete would know better, because he knew there was MORE to a sport THAN MEETS THE EYE. The varsity football team walks off of the field after another win.
