Great Expectations Spring had its usual effect on students; schoolwork was no longer of interest or importance. Love was in the air, or in the office. Roses and balloon bouquets ar- rived daily to the vexation of the secre- taries who had to make numerous an- nouncements calling people to the office. Dances became the big thing and hip- action'' was the latest craze. The earli- ness of the onset of spring fever had all the teachers and administrators worried. If kids were acting like this in February, what was May going to be like? Spring sports, mu- sic, debate, and busi- ness competitions made us strive to be the best ever. Students in every group excelled. Re- cords were broken. We defeated Snake River in every sport this year. The track team sent twelve people to state finals. The golf team finished sixth in the state. The Symphonic Band placed third in Northwest competi- tion in Oregon. Jazz Band I placed third in Northwest jazz com- petition in Moscow, Idaho. The choirs came home with straight superior ratings at music festival. Andrew Christensen traveled to Cincinnati, Ohio for National Forensics competition. James Smith was elected president to lead the Idaho Ass- sociation of Student Councils. Eight O.E.A. students made it to national com- petition in Des Moines, Iowa. We were proud of our students and our school! With Mr. Hugie announcing his final year at B.H.S., discusstion of the trimes- ters, and graduation just around the cor- ner, we wondered how it all went so fast. Didn't we just register? We looked toward the future with aprehen- sion. What would next year bring? During the course of the year, many unex- pected changes were made, but through them all we remained the Broncos. Things that had never been done were accom- plished, and dreams were fulfilled. But.... from the very begin- ning, we never knew what to expect! Flag team members warm-up before the Davis Cup Competition in Utah. The Marching Band won third place.

These new alumi- num seats took the place of the old wooden ones.
