We W nJeed... We worked to carry out the plans we made. We spent long hours working at our money-making projects. Among these projects were: selling magazines, working in the concession stand, and selling pop corn at our home basket- ball games. We marched in several parades and spent many hours practicing in the hot summer sun. We built floats and en- tered them in parades. We printed bas- ketball programs by the thousand, and we also folded them. We produced plays, presented as- sembly programs , and attended work- shops. We published THE BOLL WEEVIL and THE COTTON BOLL. We worked in the library, in the office, of whereever we were needed. We learned the value of work and the joy of accomplishing a task that is difficult. Charlette Link spent part of her summer with the N. Y. C. Here she is shown painting the library shelves. Below and at right are pictures of students enrolled in the summer N.Y.C. as they did various jobs at school.

Dorothy Wilson and Sharon Kirby consult with the Paragon Press representa- tive at the annual Year- book Clinic. hJe, Planned... We planned our activities with guid- ance from the faculty. We served on com- mittees to plan the various events of the year, and we learned that often more can be accomplished through committees than in any other way. By serving on committees, we developed a sense of leadership and responsibility. We made plans for our future by con- sulting our counselor, Mr. Don Lee. We were given advice as to the choice of sub- jects as well as advice on the many other problems we faced. We planned our days, our weeks, and our year, but most important, we planned our future. We knew the keen sense of satisfaction that came from accomplishing what we set out to do. We also knew the bitter disap- pointment in having our plans fail. Although our plans were not always successful, we learned much through the making of those plans.

Scholarships, Gold Cords, Diplomas — these were highlights of the final high- school year for many B.H.S. seniors. They marked the end of an important peri- od in the life of the 1966 graduates. For other high-school students these items become goals to attain for them- selves. Regardless of the class of a stu- dent, these items are symbols of a suc- cessful year. Below, at left, are the seniors. Marching: The caps and gowns seemed strange and uncom- fortable but were donned with joy and pride. Below, a Diploma: The symbol of graduation that each senior cherishes.
