Swim meets were officially timed by BBC members. Working this meet are Lynn Lewis, Karen Willmann, Kristi Oberholzer, Cyndi Strickland. Sexes had their own sport clubs What was that score? . . . How far was that throw? 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.

Initiation was held in the spring for new athletic letter winners qualified to enter the club. Sponsor of the club is Mr. John Adams. a B B ' B B ' g BBC: (Bottom Row) Holly Coons, Teresa Smith, Susan Ford, Kristi Oberholzer, Kim Conner.
