' Tls not too late TO SEEK The flight of Apollo 11 set the stage for the first year of BHS; for as the astronauts took the first step in the ex- ploration of new worlds in space, so we discovered a new world of our own at BHS. As all pioneers do. we met challenges both in and out of class. Stimulated by a better environment, we supplemented our regular curriculum with use of new equipment and independent study. We built clubs, organizations and a student government from scratch. New playing fields gave our athletes added incentive to look their best. The biggest challenge of all was met when our circle of friends doubled in size, as ancient prejudices dissolved and old loyalties switched allegiance. Being explorers in our own right, we set precedents and made traditions. To- gether, we entered BHS on that first day of school; together, we created the be- ginnings of a school spirit. A line of buses disgorged a horde of students who un- dauntedly entered BHS for the first time. Inside, many surprises awaited them — and better education. ' BHS is second to none. Chuck Moore tells John Gross. There icas no credibility gap in recognizing this fact. .411 students tvere infected by the beginnings of a school spirit.
