F wkilfg 55 24,4flft0 t'4 ouring into Ben Davis those first few sweltering August ,.i, 1 days, Fitting ini' was tough. There were adjustments to make, like putting away the tank tops and cutoffs and going -- to school at 7:30 a.m. Sophomores, still used to lazy days of swimming and laying out, wandered about trying to find their particular room from 100 different classrooms. And all of a sudden quite a bit of fuss was being made about Holdw rules. We're just following up on the ones we've got, said Dr. Gary Fry, principal, But as things began to settle down, we noticed a quietness ---a new interest in learning. WQ,re not trying to cramp anyone's style---just the opposite, Dr. Fry explained. But if you're fair then students respond to it. I've seen that this yearf' From this firm but fair philosophy it seemed students relaxed and got comfortable. Mr. Pete Toon, assistant principal, added, School should be a place where kids want to learn and can learn if that's what they want. There were surprises, too. As we made adjustments, so did the administration. When the North Central Association began evaluating Ben Davis, they discovered a brightly paperedf' colorful school where students could have fun, while still achieving enough to be placed on a published honor roll--va roll brought back after an 11-year absence. More release time was allowed in the morning ton encourage students to stay in school more of the day. This also helped balance the schedule, so students could have more freedom in choosing classes. Then, quietly, it seemed that everything was settling in---fitting our needs and interest.

The BD Nationals, sponsored by radio stations Q95 and WBDG-FM and the Student Council, were held the night before Homecoming. Ben Davis lost the game in triple overtime to Perry Meridian, 49-48. When second-year principal, Dr. Gary Fry, hops in his '57 Chevy to go to school, it only takes a few seconds. In fact, Dr. Fry often chose to walk or jog to school since his home was across the street from BD. Dr. Fry seemed to take the same kind of pride with his car as he did with the school. His Chevy was spotless and he wanted the school to appear the same. OPENING SECTION . ...... v rw - M ,..x,,3y MWM-W,N,,N M . r . g 1 ..,. -.w33w:i Y f ---- fe wuz.. '--- rv:-VW ii' Ngngx, . -M .....
