CruIsIn a Ia c After a hard day of studying and work, students fill the buses, leaving behind one less school day. Orange sherbet gives bicycle rider Ann Willmann a reason for a quick stop at the Old Tyme Ice Cream Store. 4 Cr With or without wheels, different personalitites find different ways to get around for exercise, transportation, or just sheer pleasure. Staring out a classroom window can be very agoniz- ing when you ' re greeted by a spilling sun inviting so many ideas of tempting ac- tivities. Then, finally, 3:09 has arrived and after a long awaited bus ride, the side streets. Highway 3, and the square become a kid ' s hang- out for someone who has been couped up all day. Yes, town seems to be the place to be, to catch familiar faces and most other action. It ' s not unusual to spot a speed- ing skateboarder, waving bi- cycle rider, or panting jog- ger. Hi, what are you up to? Not much. I just thought I ' d pedal uptown and see if I could find a pair of shades. This sun is killing my eyes. I ' m not complaining though; this weather has everyone out. Those preferring the country life can find relax- ation in the steady gallop of a horse, while others fee! at ease gliding through a pool. Popping wheelies on cycles, snowmobiling over banks of white fluffy stuff, and even flying the friendly skies of Blackford are more student loves. Cars hit the roads on the weekends, but during the week cruisin ' still goes on A La Carte. Steadily pacing himsdf, John Willmann jogs on, burning off any extra c ories. RTE With a vigorous pull, Chris Pearson lift ' an eager rider on his horse Sugar. Too much radio music without the car run- ning required some help from passing cruis- ers lay Rhoton and Kenny Hummer. Lines of dimmed head- lights replace rays of the sun as it disappears behind the horizon. This popular time has burned gallons of gas, started and ended ro- mances, eased a person ' s cluttered mind, and filled a bored evening with activity. Between the newly added Pizza King and the A W drive-in, the person behind the wheel needs more skill than just being able to keep the car on the road. He must dodge the chuck holes, lis- ten to his tape player, keep a conversation going, and be conscious of all passers-by in order to honk at those famil- iar. At a comfortable speed of 30 mph, car after car goes past Hook ' s ( Not too many cars parked at Hook ' s yet; we ' ll go through a couple more times before we stop. ); then on down the strip. Keeping an eye out for anyone or anything exciting, the kid-packed cars circle lohn ' s, making sure the headlights have been turned off ( Well, no one at lohn ' s. ) And they ' re back out on the highway going back through town only to turn again at the car wash. A continuous cycle with varied events to keep it going is similar to life at Blackford High. Each day ' s schedule is the same, it ' s the small events that keep everyone at Blackford CRUISIN.

Afterward it ' s back to serious business and books until 3:09. After 3:09 the trend is to Express Yourself with BHS students taking on a slew of after-school activities. Perhaps sports provide the largest expressions release for most Bruin fans. Fans release emotions all the way from downright sobbingbecause the team lost by one point in four overtimes to tears of joy and happiness because we just beat a top-10 state- ranked team. Wherever we are, whatever we ' re doing — celebrating a victo- ry or crying our eyes out because we just missed a D-in Calculus by one point — we still go on expressing ourselves. 8 Expressions • • • ANd Finding time to clown around, Mr. Fred VVelge (Left) shrugs off his seriousness on the parallel bar Senior Georgetta Sutton (Right) sports the expression of many BHS students who relax during lunch-hour.

Climaxing a week of roasting Argylls over bonfires, Karen Willmann was crowned 1976 Homecoming Queen. After receiving roses and a kiss from Student Council president Chris Fread, Karen was congratulated by her court consisting of seniors, Pam Bonham and Lynn Lewis; Teri Wimmer, junior; Rhonda Smith, sophomore; and fresh- man Julie Bailey. Football was popular with both boys and girls. Male players downed Madi- son-Grant, 35-23. Team Four won the fifth annual girls ' Powder Puff competi- tion sponsored by the cheerleaders. It ' s amazing how so much activity can go on in our microcosm of a county. Truly Blackford County is a small, small world.

Homecoming 11 EASINq TENSioN Climbing out of bed Sunday morn, to get dressed up, attend church, and come home is not the extent of all religious activities. How much time one is willing to spend is usually the deciding factor. Sweat-dripping brows accompanied with aching muscles haven ' t dis- couraged the many church league basketball teams from a mind-easing game of basketball . Participating in a different way, the girls add an occasional yell and sometimes sell goodies. Chili suppers and fattening ice cream socials are great for an empty stomach and a neighborhood get together. The variety of programs is endless, ranging from slides showing the poverty in Haiti to a church service completely panto- mimed by a clown. For a nursing home shut-in, a visit from a couple Youth Fellowship members can make a sad face smile once again. Like sports, music, and work, religion for some students is an important ingredient in life. r - i«i!! mfL Death, something that every- one at one time must face, is discussed between Bridget Caney, Rita Cole, and Campus Life Director Shirley Prichett.

There isn ' t anything to highlight our year. But, if these seniors and a few underclassmen would just look around, they would find a few things that made our year. Take Afro-hair cuts, for example. The trend at BHS was to Afro your hair (but not permanently), then come to school and try it on everyone for size. After all the oohs, and ahs, and Wow, your hair looks cool, the daring did the real thing and permanently jazzed up their locks. More popular among females than males, diets still pre- vailed as a major concern. A typical day in the cafeteria would show several girls brown-baggin ' it with total contents consisting of a single orange. For dessert, girls munched on the newest-oldest craze, — jube jels. The reason being, only one calore per jube jei. Kiss and Aerosmith were still the popular pick of rock groups at BHS, but the recently discovered Boston ensem- ble made their likeable debut. The Love Story of 77, A Star is Born with Streisand and Kristofferson charmed males and females alike when both the movie and album became extremely popular. Wednesday evenings at promptly 10:00, male TV viewers ' eyes were glued to the set, and it would take a crowbar to pry them off. The reason — Charlie ' s Xngels. Pictures of these foxy angels adorned many male bedroom walls throughout Blackford County, especially the ever-popular Farrah Fawcett. Every boys ' dream girl of the year, Farrah Fawcea- Majors, is put on a bed- room wall arid drolled over by freshman Vm VanCor- don.

S bAll IN rhE sidE pockET Some students have hobbies and some have their sports, but still others have their hobby sports. Six senior lifeguards spent Wednesday even- ings in guard chairs with whistle-adorned necks, keeping energetic swimmers safe during recreational swims. When only the news and the third rerun of a Roadrunner cartoon are on TV, a pool table and pool sticks come in quite handy if bore- dom sets in. Many teenagers find pool and ping-pong quite enjoyable hobby sports after the sun goes down and the lights on the out- door tennis and basketball courts no longer provide ample lighting. The huge mounds of snow that accumulated during the heavy winter provided snow-mobil- ing, snow-skiing, and even snow-shoveling for students interested in winter hobbies. 16 Hobby Sports Brian Morris, Teresa Smiib, Richard VanCordon (Right) relax over ihe popular hobby sport, pool.

WhERE It ' s at Putting the books aside leaves lit- tle — but sufficient — time for stu- dent interests. By one ' s self, or with buddies, any extra hours are filled with jobs, trips, school-related activi- ties, or just goofing around. Some might enjoy the 176-day grind from 8:15-3:09, for it ' s book work and education. But many endure the aca- demic life assured that the accompa- nying student life is really where it ' s at.

A day to remember — or to forget — was Jan. 28, when a record blizzard closed all Indiana schools, roads, and almost all businesses. 20 Winter Of 77 It was a blast ' - ' the winter kind After two fantali ing false alarms. Mother Nature stopped her horseplay and came through with some really se- rious winter. Temperatures plunged to 18-below, closing school and delaying the end of the first semester five days. But that didn ' t end 1977 ' s jarring Jan- uary. Dire blizzard forecasts forced an early exit from school Jan. 26, followed by a Midwest winter crisis which brought business, travel, meeting schedules, and education to a paralyz- ing halt. School was not to resume until Feb. 3. Meanwhile many students, if not marooned with their families, aided other victims of the record-breaking Arctic winter. The electric heating system saved BHS from the general fuel-shortage cri- sis. However, schedule-shifting became a major problem. A seasonal field trip of Mr. Welge ' s athletic training class travels around the snowy campus to exper- ience cross-country skiing. Persistent winds repeatedly re-filled plowed roads such as Ind. 3, a usual thoroughfare tor school buses in better weather. Displaying his walking ability on snow, Bruce Edg- ington is attacked by fragniients of a mysterious shat- tered snowball. V inter of 77 21 Students, if not teachers, look forward to organiza- tions picture day, when class is interrupted with Will all members of . . . Time-Outs were welcome escapes The story of a school day was punctu- ated with parentheses of interruptions to relieve the pressures — and bore- dom — of routine class work. Some time-outs were planned; others were surprises. But almost all were welcome. On the scheduled side, convocations and pep sessions provided rests in school routine. Noon hours, too, meant a time for conversation and re- laxation in addition to providing one- half hour to satisfy ravenous appetites at the cafeteria line. On the unexpect- ed side were fire drills, snow-day dis- missals, and emergency meetings for groups that could not meet at other times. Sometimes these were even more enthusiastically received. Traditional adages like Spaced learning is more effective and All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy were enough to justify time-outs as a standard part of the process of get- ting an education. for those inclined to humor, time-outs were for L % [j clowning. Kim Hughes poses for photographer m. J?iiB and an amused Brian Green. 22 Time-outs A sudden break comes when the lire alarm sounds and students exit more hurriedly than relurtanily. One per month was scheduled. A strategy huddle during a hail game was a more literal time-out. Coach Stroup directs his Bruins to a change in offense. A scheduled exit from class brings school personnel to the gym for a convocation such as that of ventrilo- quist Clifford Cuest. Time-outs 23 Whoops! says Kaye Boxell, when she sees that she might get trampled while retrieving her books as she goes to class. How rough can lifegetatBHS? Some make it and some don ' t. Some can cope with the frustration of a usual day, and some come unglued. But for all of us, there are the inevitable prob- lems. In a typical day there are jammed lockers, dropped books, and struggles through crowded halls. As a result, stu- dents often find it difficult to make it through the obstacle course which oc- casionally leads to tardiness. And once the student has accumulated three tar- dies from any one teacher, he has to visit the new seventh hour detention study hall to pay for his mistake. Lurking in the shadows of a day can be such minor disasters as having car trouble, catching the current bug, losing today ' s homework, or forgetting lunch money. Usually there is a day when a student doesn ' t feel like getting out of bed — but has to or else. Then sometimes when he finally makes it through a tough day, he misses the bus. It can be a tough world — but there may be a better one tomorrow. 24 Hard Luck Cold weather strikes Kristie Carpenter ' s car so that she needs the assistance of Mark Cogan and jumper cables to get it started. why does the world have to seem so tall when untall jack Elliott has a hassle getting throuf h the hall of tali people?

Bye- Bye, says Kim Conner, who wishes a safe trip home for Ann Skillen. Skateboards were common for both transportation and enjoyment. But there were some Good Times too Between those tough episodes which students label Hard-Times came a few more fun-type experiences to balance the emotional school year. Good Times were sometimes planned and sometimes surprises. But always they were interspersed with hard times. Many club members spent enjoyable days touring other places, such as the Ford Museum, the Chicago ' s Field Mu- seum of Natural History, and Canada. The Pizza King and other local hang -outs were filled with happy so- cializing BHS students after ballgames, and at the end of a cruising session. Such spots include the A W, John ' s Awful Awful Drive-in, and the Home- stead as gathering places. A variety of hobbies appeared on the ' 76- ' 77 scenes. These included bicy- cling, cruising, and skateboarding, among others. 26 Good Times Receiving an honorable handshake from Mr. John Carbone, Lora Capper smiles as she takes first place in beginning vaulting.

The frigid winter, along with the nat- ural gas shortage, forced schools and factories all over the eastern half of the country to close, including Blackford County. The Montpelier schools were closed longer than others. On St. Valentine Day, four persons were murdered in Indiana. One of four persons suspected of the murders, Roger Droliinger, was slated to be tried in the Blackford Circuit Court. The plight of Richard Hall, being tied to a sawed-off shotgun for 62 hours by Tony Kiritsis, was felt by many students. Some questioned the ethics of a broken promise of amnesty for surren- dering. tku. • « while performing in Florida, the Band majorettes attracted attention of more than their audiences, including two Sea World Creatures.

During a BHS day, a visitor could walk the halls and find Home Ec stu- dents adorning their heads in grocery sacks, or Physics students running up and down stairs recording their velocity. If the visitor is still uninterested, perhaps he could ease by the boiler room and view artists creating masterpieces of the huge pipes.

Learning can be a bandy ' process Manual labor is usually thought of in the form of tired bones and aching muscles, but as the old song goes, It ain ' t necessarily so. Actually, in many of the fun classes, students used their hands. In one such manual area, Home Ec opened the old Brewin ' Bachelors to the new Brewin ' Singles. The ruling also changed the Phys. Ed. classes to include both boys and girls. For the first time in several years the Bands, where fingers make the music, had a student teacher. He was Mr. Bradley Roberts, a precussion major from BSU. Art Department students used their hands on a type of sculpture called Sub- tractive. This art starts with a solid block and is chipped and filed away. The Advanced Biology classes col- lected bacteria for cultures from some unusual places such as an armpit and Mr. Ross ' s forehead.

Wait Until Dark. W t ie world ' s a stage—school, too! William Shakespeare said the world is a stage and all the people are actors. And role playing, as a learning tech- nique, was found in many classrooms, as well as at home and on the school stage. Pretending was the theme of many class projects, such as in French class, where students simulated TV commer- cials in the French language. In social studies classes mock trials and political campaigns during the summer session placed students in the roles of jurymen, candidates and campaigners. But the most obvious role playing was one on the so-called stage in the cafetorium. Three major full-length dramas were produced. Wait Until Dark, a drama placing the insight of a blind girl against the wiles of gangsters, was produced by Masque and Gavel in the fall. Thespians produced Play it Again, Sam, a play idolizing Humphrey Bogart, as the win- ter play. Masque and Gavel gave The Odd Couple, in the spring, a comedy familiar to TV audiences. Most students realized a mixture of Fantasy and reality is another formula for getting educated. 34 Learning By Role Playing A Mark Feitt teaches the senior college prep English class about short story. The experiment was used to develop in-depth thinking. The Odd Couple starred Bill Beymer as the sloppy Oscar, and Mike Sills as the neat-as-a-pin Felix, a conflict- packed comedy.

Getting into reading were 25 ju- nior librarians, students of Mrs. Dealie Dodds. Over 800 new books were pro- cessed. Mrs. Beth Karjala took over the school reading program, assisted by Mrs. Patricia Fogwell, who replaced Mrs. Brenda Mantha after her resigna- tion. Students used the Controlled Reader, Flash-X, and Vocabulary exer- cises in reading to increase their speed and comprehension skills. The Tach-X machine allowed students to build vo- cabulary perception. The correct time in some classrooms was hard to come by for clockreaders, as several were unreliable.

The trial-and-error method plaved its part, for example, in Bookkeeping, where time and erasures corrected er- rors on trial balance and worksheets. Special Education students tried and tried again in solving puzzles. Ag boys worked and reworked crop budget projects. Students sometimes found classes weren ' t what they expected, and Guid- ance required parent signatures to trv a new class.

Their use in school usually results in a formula which stu- dents can follow to create, to prove, or to discover. The pattern formula that Christy Ma- lott went through to make her brown suede fur-lined midi coat was worth the trouble. The additive plaster done by Jeff Woolard and displayed in the cafeteria hall was just oae of the many formulas in art. This was also a great year for the birds, as 35 of the 48 eggs hatched in the long procedure in the Science De- partment incubator. For three weeks Caria Vargo and Barbara Walker turned the eggs every morning and evening. Math students, however, let a ma- chine work out the formulas. There is less stress on slide rules and more on calculators, commented Mr. Shreves, department chairman. Formulas are everywhere — even these two pages of the yearbook re- quired the following of formulas to make everything fit.

Examples did what words could not Imitation — it ' s the major way we learn to do things, whether done cor- rectly or wrongly. Students imitate the study habits of other students, sounds in foreign lan- guage, styles of painting and sculpture in art classes, and even the behavior of a favorite teacher or friend. Students of all grades at BHS had a chance to imitate great actors and ac- tresses. Freshmen listened to dramati- zations of, then read The Early Mar- riage, sophomores, Julius Caesar ; ju- niors, Our Town ; and seniors, Mac- beth . The cycle of teachers showing how. then students doing it the same way occurred every day, especially in such areas as labs, shops, physical education, basketball practice, editing, and home economics. Selecting ideal persons and then try- ing to follow their examples was also a part of learning by imitation. Lincoln, Washington, and Lee were historical examples. Pasteur, Edison, and Einstein were models for science students. Hemingway, Bacon, and Thoreau pro- vided students with models of style in writing. As one philosopher said, Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Imitation also brought a bit of humor to class routine. Jeff Custer aop) ofoes an imitation, until Mr. Coy (Below) looks up and catches him in the act and Jeff turns it into a yawn. Learning By imitating 45 Learning geography through puzzle-solving are Mrs. Tyler ' s students — Sherry Smith, Rhonda Youngblood, Connie Morehouse, Shari Sutton. If it ' s a problem, it lias a solution If school is a laboratory for life, then solving class problems should help in combatting more serious ones later in life. And problems to solve in the class- room were plenty. Besides the obvious math problems, there were the hypothetical financial ones in business and agribusiness classes; the dilemmas of government discussed in social studies courses; the more personal problems solved by guidance, health and the new home- living subjects. Even the agonizing income tax re- port problem was introduced in civics classes to those taxpayers of the next generation. 46 Learning By Problem-Solving ( takes some experimenting for Metals shop student Kevin Lex to find the trouble in a malfunctioning gasoline motor.

(Bottom) In Mr. Washburn ' s Drafting class Susan Ellis and Jeff Cole do an assignment previously intended to be done by males. More competition inspired learning Competition went on throughout the school to motivate learning by en- couraging a determination to be the best. One of the newest kinds was be- tween the sexes. This year there were no required all-boy or all-girl classes. Many students took tests to compete against other students across the na- tion, such as the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) the American College Test- ing (ACT), Math, Reading and Military. Band and Choir groups and indivi- duals competed in inter-school con- tests and sometimes with one another for chair placings. Contests included district and state competition. Other inter-school contests included OEA, DE, and Publications. One type of competition everyone participated in was the more personal type — against one ' s self to meet goals. Competition is not just in extracurri- cular activities. It is also marketing skills and gaining knowledge. Without it, there would be less learning. V Competing with himself to achieve persona goals, Steve Dinse completes his drawing to be entei in the National Scholastic Art Contest. Learning By Competinc 49 Definitely appreciating music and a hug from Swing Choir member Anita Cimino, junior high student Tom Brown smiles with delight. Appreciating a taste-test of food prepared by the Home Ec. classes, Mr. Knapp ' s reaction also created appreciation for cooking talent. Nature is appreciated through insect collections which dominated the fall efforts of Kelly Williams, Dan Young, and Kendra Ducy, science students. A respect for the wonders of nature ' s creatures is acquired by such miniature worlds as an aquarium, observed by student Karen Clamme. 50 Learning By Appreciation Appreciation was seen, felt, heard Acquiring knowledge led to fields other than vocational. It also led to the more ennotional goals of appreciation for the world in general and for human skills in particular. School dramatic productions such as Wait Until Dark and Play it again, Sam gave students respect for another area of the arts. Music, another phase of the arts, was elevated by the appearance of David Henderson, BHS grad, at the Band ' s Winter Concert. Appreciation of less artistic skills were acquired too, and Cindy Mills sharpened her special skills as she en- tered State office competition, as Lyn Rea and Glenn Witt entered artwork in the National Scholastic Art Contest after winning Gold Keys and Finalist Awards.

The Reflections staff this year had co- editors for the first time — Joni Pearson and Lynn Lewis. Publications also in- stalled a camera and strobe light exclu- sively for yearbook section editors to take their own pictures when no pho- tographer was available. A nationally known professional photographer also spent one day taking more complicated pictures. BrulNformer ' s editorial goal was more cooperation within the school, according to J.R. Stallsmith, editor-in- chief. The major change in the paper was the emphasis on features and in- depth stories, with several issues devot- ing two full pages to features. Mr. Ed Henderson, adviser, said there were more people capable of being page editors this year. Fifth-hour journalism subscription salesmen, led by Dot Stanton, were treated to pizza by the first-hour class for selling the most BrulNformer sub- scriptions.

The Council also assisted with two major all-school events — Open House and Homecoming. At Open House the Council issued invitations to parents and tagged them for identification as they entered the building. For Home- coming activities the members con- ducted the bonfire ceremony and float contest. Council-persons also showed their Christmas Spirit by presenting a Yule- tide drama, The Little Match Girl, featuring Lisa Ford, at an all-school Christmas program. The event also fea- tured a generous Santa Claus, who dis- pensed candy to the eager hands of students as he progressed through the stands without the aid of his reindeer.

These are questions often asked of Blackford Bruin Coeds. BBC members had jobs of keeping score and time at athletic events at home and away. A total of 38 girls helped with sporting events. Co-spon- sors of the group were Mrs. Gretchen Place and Mr. John Carbone. It was a harrowing experience, one letterman described the highly secret initiation to the Lettermen ' s Club. Members work on the intiates ' fear, and afterwards the new member is sworn to secrecy about what he went through. Initiation was held in the spring for new athletic letter winners qualified to enter the club.

Fruit and syrup mixed for FFA The sweet and sour were combined by Future Farmers of America when they selected as major projects the rais- ing and selling of sorghum and the sell- ing of grapefruit. Over 60 gallons of sorghum were produced at a profit in a seed-to-sales project which began with plowing a field across from, the school in the spring and ended with harvesting, pro- cessing and selling in the fall. Texas grapefruit and oranges kvere sold in the spring for the third year, keeping members busy delivering or- ders of the citrus.

Nevertheless, Head Coach El- den Leeth said of his young team: After the first two games our young men matured and played well the rest of the season. We played many young people, giving us a great nucleus for next year. Kenny Ort held the most Bruin yard- age with 802 yards in 151 carries for eight TD ' s. Tim Towne was next with 703 yards in 145 carries for a high team total of 12 touchdowns. Senior Rick Bargerhuff held the Most Fumble Re- coveries record, while Ort and Mike Bryant shared the Most Interceptions for the team.

For every winner there was a loser — and Bruin backers reacted accordingly with cheers or tears. Fans ' adrenalin was always aroused by cheerleaders urging the team onward and by the Marching Band breaking into the strains of the pep song as stu- dents boomed out the words even if they couldn ' t carry a tune. There were moments of sudden si- lence, too, marking the crowd ' s con- cern when a red-uniformed pla er was stretched out on the turf. The football season is more than a contest of brawn and brain.

After ups and downs during the season, Mr. Moore de- scribed his 20 good football players as having qualities needed for cham- pions. Highlighting the season, the Cubs won the last two games. During the fourth quarter, they limited oppo- nents to a mere six points. Rushing 615 yards, player Brian Smith led team scoring with 10 TD ' s and one extra point.

In fact, the runners ' year was so successful that they compiled a dual and triangu- lar meet record of 8-1 and an overall point record of 81-30. Coach Coy summed up the high- lights of his cross country season in these words: It was a phenomenal suc- cess in that we got fourth out of 24 teams in the Sectional and qualified for the Regional. The team ran exception- ally well for being so young. Leadership on the basically young team came from seniors Kevin Morgan and Jack Turner. Both Morgan and lurner, along with Gregg Osborn, freshman, Junior Townsend, junior, and Gary Irwin and Don Mitchell, soph- omores, broke the 13:00-minute mark in the 2V2-mile-run. Freshman Scott Emshwiller and junior Mike Baughey were also recognized for successful running achievement throughout the cross country season.

Coach Ion Stroup instructs his players at a break. Score: Bruins 79, Eastbrook 72. Bruins ' SO-SO start caused 500 year Returning three lettermen from last year ' s 20-5 squad, the roundballers stumbled at the start and never quite got on track, finishing the season 11-11. The season started below normal when the opening game was lost to Ad- ams Central, the Flying Jets ending a seven-year losing streak to the Bruins. Bad luck continued to prevail, as the team was 1-7 going into the January Grant County Tourney. In the tourney, Mississinewa fell to the scrappy Bruins, but Stroup ' s men, who had drawn the bye, lost for the second time to Madi- son-Grant in the finals. Four out of the first five games were dropped by a total of only eight points. Rarely were the Bruins blown off the court, even though there was a rash of injuries among other disturbing situa- 94 Varsity Basketball tions. Sectional time rolled around Bruin- land again, as Blackford hosted a four- team field. The Bruins drew Eastbrook the first round, and Delta ended up with rival Wes-Del. The Bruins were fa- vorites to win the four-team tourney, and beat Eastbrook 79-72 in the first game. Wes-Del squeaked past Delta, setting the stage for the Saturday night finals. At halftime it seemed that the Bruins were on their way to their sev- enth Sectional crown under Coach Stroup, but the Warriors came on strong to take their first title in the school ' s history, 65-58. Thus ended the five Bruin seniors ' high school career, and the stage for revenge was set for the upcoming year. when an errant shot misses the basket, three Bruins go for the rebound: Bill Johnson, Mark Brown, and Greg Jones. Varsity Basketball 95 As the final whistle blows, team members and fans celebrate the victory over Marion. The first Bruin win came over the 1976 state champion Giants. Bruins spedaCized in amazing upsets Even though the overall outcome of the year wasn ' t too pleasing, the Bruins, in the role of spoilers, pulled off the state ' s biggest upsets and played tricks with the conference race. Marion ' s Gi- ants, previously two-time state champs with a current record of 6-0, were the first victims of the Bruins. Before the game, Blackford was 0-5, and Marion held the rank of fourth in the state. The Giants, who humiliated the Bruins last year at Marion, were outplayed all over the court, and received what they earned. Huntington North, another state power, faced the Bruins the following week, but they took the game a little more seriously than Marion. The Vi- kings finally pulled it out in double overtime, 78-72 at Huntington. With Christmas over and the pre- vious upsets forgotten. Fort Wayne Wayne rolled into Blackford County sit- ting on the number-two spot in the polls. The Generals found themselves wondering what had happened, lost 62-56, outplayed everywhere on the court. Muncie North followed the next night, but two major upsets were too much for the Bruins to handle. With the season just about over and every- one looking to the Sectional, the Bruins hosted Alexandria, CIC leader and pos- sible champ if they could beat Black- ford. Stroup ' s men ' s record against oth- er conference foes had not been too remarkable. They were 1-3 going into the game and not considered much of a threat. The final score of the Tiger game was 95-80 — Blackford ' s victory. This marked the first time in Blackford ' s conference history that there was a three-way tie for first place in the con- ference among Alexandria, Peru, and Wabash. The Bruins and Tipton tied with 3-3 records and were awarded fourth and fifth places, respectively, while Madison-Grant and Elwood rounded out the standings. 96 Varsity Basketball As time rum out in regulation play, Mark Brown scores a needed two points which in turn cause a double overtime beiore the Vikings win. With the game just about over, two Bruins put the iinal touches on the Fort Wayne Wayne game. Seniors Bill Johnson (Right) and Ken On (Left) take foul shots as the Generals (ail to get bade in the ball game. The Bruins upset the second-ranked team, 62-56. Just starting the second quarter, no one was suspect- ing the Bruins would upset Marion, but they beat the 6-0 Giants 71-67. After one of the home upset victories, Brian Lanham and Bob Dodds are carried off t e floor by th r elated classmates. Varsity Basketball 97 young Cubs got game experience The Cubs, under the direction of Coach Rick Teats, closed out the sea- son with a 9-8 record. Sophomores and freshmen made up most of the team which gained experience for their up- coming varsity years, according to Mr. Teats. At Tipton early this year the Cubs were down by as many as 16 points, but rallied to beat the Blue Devils, 60-54. Fort Wayne invaded the Bruin court but were stopped in the JV game, 56- 54, in overtime. Brothers Kris and Greg Clancy had major roles in most of the games. Kris held a 13-point scoring average while Gred had a 10.4 average and 64 assists. Mike Buckner scored a 9.1 average plus eight rebounds per game. As his Alexandria opponents watch, Mike Buckner drives to the hoop for (wo points in a Cub victory over the Tigers, 52-45. As the fast break winds down to a shot, Scott Stalls- mith and Marc Rench watch Gary Langdon score two points the easy way.

Two-hundred and fifty-six seniors attired in red caps and gowns participated in Commencement exercises. The class lived up to the cho- sen motto: If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it. Pam Bonham ' s garage was the build- ing place for the senior Homecoming float, Gulliver ' s Travels. Seniors won, due to the help of senior Brian Green, who worked the float manually after Brute ' s batteries failed. The seniors owed their mounting fi- nancial status fo five Concessions work- ers — Sue Oswalt, Sarah Hinshaw, Jeff Bowen, Brian Green, Peggy Crabtree. Becoming firsts in BHS sports history, Brian Davis placed fourth in the state gymnastics meet, and Chris Fread be- came the first to capture 11 Varsity let- ters.

A kitchen joke is shared by Cafeteria Manager Mrs. Thelma Garrison with touring Board mem- bers and School Supt. Wiliam Couch. Management shuffle modified policy Changes in Blackford ' s school system followed the acceptance of Mr. William Couch as superintendent. Mr. Couch set a policy of more su- pervision and visits to schools. He also required principals to visit and make more extensive evaluations of classes and teachers. Though teacher negotiations lost the aid of the area Uniserv director, Mr. Couch maintained an open scope policy, stating that everything is nego- tiable including calendar dates. An equipment replacement program got under way. Equipment installed when the school started eight years ago had become faulty or outdated. Mr. William Payne, temporary super- intendent last year, elected to return to his former post as assistant superinten- dent. He also assumed the duties of Su- pervisor of Special Services Ken Kline, who resigned to enter graduate school. The sight of administrators and school board members in the schools became more common as administra- tive personnel investigated needs of the schools first-hand. A mid-year resignation of Mr. Kenneth Kline, B.A., Supervisor of Special Services, left the system v ith- out a replacement. 164 County Administration After a year ' s service as Acting Superintendent, Mr. William Payne, B.S., M.S., preferred to return as assistant superintendent.

Their year was one of decisions It was a year requiring decisions by the school ' s administrators. The frigid weather, for example, forced an abrupt change in schedules. Athletic Director John Carbone felt the brunt of the 11 snow days, as cancella- tion or rescheduling of 27 sports events was necessary for eight school teams. Principal G. William Anderson met with other county administrators to decide on such issues as whether the 11 V2 days should be made up. Selecting substitute teachers on short notice was one of many decisions of Asst. Principal Noel Lewis, whose fa- miliar PA voice also passed on decisions of sponsors to hold or cancel organiza- tions ' events. From their secluded rooms between counseling and principals ' offices, Deans Kenneth Ross and Cretchen Place enforced such administrative de- cisions as the new rule for detention time for habitually tardy students. fven Santa can ' t sneak down the halls without a pass when Dean of Boys Kenneth Ross (B.5., M.A) is patrolling the avenues.

Our teachers bad their troubles too Problems for teachers ranged from broken bones to cars getting stuck in the snow. School started with a possible prob- lem that turned out not be one — whether the teacher contract would be agreed upon between the negatiating committee and the school board. Many teacher hours were saved when a new requirement to file a weekly lesson plan was suspended at the request of the teachers after four weeks. Also a rule of past years requir- ing the teachers to sign in and out was cancelled. Mrs. Ann Kerr, Mrs. Dealie Dodds and Mrs. Irene Springer wore casts temporarily because of fractures or op- erations. Other personal problems resulted in the midyear resignations of Mr. Hans Heiser, Mrs. Ofelia Burton, and Mrs. Brenda Mantha. Many faculty cars were stuck in the heavy snow during the winter, includ- ing that of Mr. Chris Coy. He called for a wrecker but it also got stuck, so he ended up digging himself, as well as the wrecker, out of the snow. A carry-in, provided by the teachers themselves and held for faculty members, included even Mrs. Dea- lie Dodds — despite her broken leg. 168 Faculty MS.

Teacher experience averages 12 Jt A typical 1976-77 BHS teacher was married, had 2.3 kids, and had taught 12.4 years. Women comprised less than half the faculty, or about 43% of the 69- member staff. Of all teachers, 74% were married, while the other 26% are still looking or had previously been married. Many teachers — 70% of them — got their degrees at Ball State Uni- versity. About 78% have their Mas- ters degrees, and all have their Bach- elors. These degrees were earned at 26 colleges and universities. Among 170 Faculty more unusual schools from which degrees were earned are Pennsylva- nia State University, Greenville Col- lege, Dakota State College, Asbury College, University of Missouri, and Wilmington College in Ohio. Nine teachers ran the risk of hav- i ng their own kids in class, as 12 stu- dents belonged to BHS teachers. Teachers residing in Blackford Coun- ty totalled 44. The other 25 commut- ed from nearby areas. About 68% of the faculty had at least one extra- curricular responsibility. MRS.

Teachers involved themselves in many such activities. Mrs. Barbara Douglas was involved in bettering the under- standing of the E.R.A. Mr. Robert Daily has been doubling, serving as a minister for two years. Many of Blackford ' s male teachers liked fishing and hunting as extra pastimes. Golf was popular with both men and women. A more rare hobby, pursued by Mrs. Ann Kerr, is collecting antique china, crystal, and silverware. Mr. Joe Castelo was both a Social Studies teach- er and a city court judge. Mrs. Kelsea Smith, freshman English teacher, was working on her first novel. On the sports side for women was Ms. Debi Carnifix, who has an interest in hockey.

Professional goals required their time A Blackford teacher, Mr. Stuart Brown, led the county teachers as Asso- ciation president in a busy year which included negotiations with the school board, a series of discussions on im- proving the school program, and a so- cial carry-in buffet. Two other BHS teachers had major roles in the BCTA year. They were Mr. Joseph Casteio, chairman of negotia- tions, and Mrs. Sandy Stroup, discus- sion chairperson. Concerned with legislative action af- fecting education, teachers joined the state-national effort in urging favorable revisions. Statewise, legislative bills concerned textbook selection, curricu- lum, class size, and school calendar. In budget affairs, money was wanted for education, and a 4% maximum in- crease from the State was a possibility in the winter session of the Legislature. Since tax rates are frozen, the BCTA realized extra money must come from the state. MR. PHILIP TURLEY, B.S., M.S.: Dir. of Choirs, Music Theory. MRS.

Everyone gets it in one form or another. For some (most sen- iors) the disease strikes after the last snow has melted. For others it strikes in May. Regardless, students find many extra- curricular activities when the thought of opening a book is a real drag. Two main events highlighted the May Days — Fantasy World and Graduation. Juniors decorated the gym in a Hawaiian setting with volcanoes, caves and grass huts. Spring banquets are also a sign of spring fever.

It ' s 3:15, another school day is over, and the buses depart, forking toward student homes in Montpelier and Hartford City. 206 Closing Its TiiviE to CRUISE ON For some the next year holds the same Cruisin ' Route of Blackford High School, but yet for others an all new route lies ahead. Whether at Blackford or far away, with the new year will come new stop signs, warning signals, detours, hangouts, and new pavement. Road conditions vary every year. What winters can com- pare to the 77 blizzard that had families stranded, stores closed, ,and students getting extra vacation? Prom and Homecoming themes will change. Karen Willmann reigning over Blackford ' s small world and Cheri Elliot over a Fantasy World will be almost forgotten to make way for a new road- side beauty. Sports may shift into high gear while other teams may slide into second. Basketball fans will remember the triumphant games between 76 state champs Marion and first- ranked Fort Wayne Wayne. Dieters may remember 77 Blackford for the salad line to help in losing extra pounds. Farrah ' s zest and zeal may fade away, and — who knows — maybe Kiss might start hitting a sour note. With the energy crisis this might have been the last year for Highway 3 to be the hangout. Blackford ' s 77 cruise route will have landmarks— each person ' s being different — but with the 76-77 year miles behind, it ' s time to put ' er in gear and Cruise On.
