Edmundo Homandez Franco Zimmerly Felix Garcia Faculty Takes Active The outcome of the revised schedule, this year, was longer and fewer periods. Previous schedules included seven to eight periods a day. This modifi- cation consisted of five seventy minute periods, four days a week, eliminating the need for study halls. It was so arranqed to allow teachers to give instruc- tion in the first half of the period and hold a study hall on the latter part of the period itself. Wednesday was activity day. The entire day was devoted to guidance, class meetings, assem- blies in the morning and club meetings in the after- noon. Guidance sessions are conducted by the home- room sponsors and topics for discussion are decided upon by all teachers. Heading this program was our guidance counselor, Mr. Garcia. visitors from North Central carefully obsorve the reaching techniques ol faculty members and the general classroom at- mosphere.

Administrators Promote Better Student Education First of all, I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate your Annual Staff for the excellent work it did in producing last year's book. We are confident that this year's book will be even better. Any yearbook is, of course, a precious possession for any student to have. It furnishes him in later years with a historical account of the many important events which he was associated with during his high school ca- reer. Be sure to avail yourselves of the great number of opportunities that you have at your disposal during your high school years, and live those years in such a manner that the accomplishments and gains made will be so numerous and so profitable that you could not record them in one thousand yearbooks. Mr. R. R. Esparza: The history of the Spartan is very closely allied to the history of the school as a whole. B. H. S. was just three years old in 1952 when the first Spartan was published, and I was serving my first year as its principal. The problems we had to face in those days were terrific. Since then, how- ever, a tremendous amount of improvement has taken place. Today the Spartan enjoys the distinction of a high rating in The National School Yearbook Association. The school has also achieved the highest standing possible for high schools through its recent acceptance into The North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. All of this has been made possible by the hard work of students, teachers, and interested citizens. As I leave B. H. S. after eight years of service I feel proud of having contributed in a small way to the general improve- ment of the school, and I wish it continued success in the years to come. mr. esparza informs student body that BHS was accepted by the North Central Association.
