SWEETHE RT B LL The night of February 'l3th will be one of those unforgettable nights for many BHS students. It was the culmination of weeks of won- dering, hoping, and anxiously waiting for the annual Sweetheart Ball. Byron Ziegler and his orchestra provided the music, while the beautiful decorations and soft lights provided the atmosphere. It was not long before we were all in the mood that only ci Sweetheart Ball can produce. Shelby Smith reigned as Queen over the Sweetheart Ball of 1960. She was crowned by last year's queen, Judy Ollar. Following the coronation, Queen Shelby, her attendants, Peggy DeShon and Christ- ine Bullington and their escorts led the royal dance.
