1S cfUctions Do(umc nine Published by the yearbook staff of BLACKFORD HIGH XHOOL R,R. 2, Hartford City, Indiana 47348 WHAT ' S Bruin is JdCtltifljitld elcome to the 1978 edition ' FBISSIfFSfd High School one and only yearbook, Reflections. In the pages to folio you will find an assortment of pictures and words that hope- fully will preserve some of the year ' s happenings. The mo- ments of hilarity and sadness, joy and pain, and all the stuff that comes in between. And (again hopefully) something else — an attempt to capture that certain something that sets BHS apart from the others. The thing that makes us unique. Call it an attempt to tell you WHAT ' S (A) BRUIN. It ' s people that make Blackford High more than just a building. Each a unique individual, yet also a part of the group. Belonging IDENTIFYING with the whole. And when all the individuals are together, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. A UNIQUE group of people. In a word — BRUINS. ' Bruin ' is striding Without trying to sound too preacliy, it seems safe to say that no one ever succeeds without a little effort. Whether it ' s running the mile In record time or simply passing that stupid algebra exam, the desire must be there. There has to be a want, a HUNGER. A STRIVING to accomplish the goal. What applies to the individual goes for the school as well. The efforts of single people, when added together, can amount to great things. But again, a STRIVING must be there. The source of such a group desire? Perhaps it ' s that mysterious something mentioned on a previous page. Or maybe it ' s simply a need to prove the Latin phrase on that plaque in the lobby correct. You know . Nulli Secundus. Second to none. Whichever it is, striving to excel Is part of being BruinJiH IBiH mmmmwm ' Bruin ' is TMttnQ 6 Theme CREATING — bringing something totally new into exis- tence. A piece of scupture, or a sketch, or a piece of writing, or just an idea. No one knows how the creative process works . . . but somehow it seems to happen. And it happens a lot around here. Either it ' s caused by something in the water (doubtful), or else it ' s due to that something we keep going on about. Regardless of where it comes from, creativity is a definite part of Blackford High, as the pictures on these two pages and through the rest of the book attest. In fact, creativity is hereby nominated as another reason why to be a Bruin is to be better. Bruin is Ipprcciatttid After a bit on creativity, it ' s only riglit to follow it with bit on APPRECIATING. Especially when it applies so well BHS. A sense of appreciation is just another element of th mysterious something that sets Bruins apart in the world schools. Whether it ' s admiring a piece of artistic creativ ness, being thankful for an everyday service, or sayii Congratulations to last night ' s high-point man, the appr ciation shows around here. Such a general attitude isn ' t di to any conscious effort or public relations campaign. It ju seems to happen. All we can do is appreciate it. And be little proud of it. ' Bruin ' is UliXlllfl . . witn eac i olli Backing their baseball a Theme So far in this venture to figure out what a Bruin is, we ' ve covered some pretty serious stuff. Serious stuff? Nol Of all the things that make up a Bruin, THIS is the most important and also one of the most fun — MIXING. Getting together with other people for a multitude of reasons. Parties. Perfor- mances. Civic events. Even just to goof off. Getting involved with others in school and out to better both them and yourself. A Bruin can do no less. Good heavens! This is the last page of the opening section, and we have just started to figure out WHAT ' S BRUIN. If you don ' t know yet, we may have managed to capture it in the next 200 pages. So we ' ll leave it up to you to figure it out. School books and report cards are not all there is to remember about high school for true Bruins. There are the in-between times. Like the time you flagged that pop quiz in Mr. Broyles History class; or maybe the day you cut in the lunchiine, only to discover Mr. Ross breathing down your neck. Then there was that occasion when you discovered there were not six periods — but seven — by adding an extra 45 minutes to your day all because you were late three too many times for homeroom. If the academics were the main course, the in-betweens were often the dessert. (Far Right) Herding into the gym at lunchtime brought on most of the interesting gossip. (Upper Left) Conversation at lunchtime enlight- ened things when everyone found out who was doing what. (Right) The end-of-the-day smile and a big sigh of relief. tudcnti ifc 12 Student Life Division Student Life Division 13 With mixed feelings, pupils often say goodbye to student teachers. Cutting his farewell cake is Taylor U. student Mr. David Dunbar. Open house was termed a success, as more par- ents showed up this year. Student Council Sec- retary Teresa Sharp checks in Mrs. Joan Ladd. Come one; Come all! The sun rises. Another day in the world of Blackford High School begins. A day well-planned and running smoothly But even the best plans have interruptions — invasions into our little world. Some visitors are not so good. Others are exciting. Actually, one invasion was nothing less than the North Central evaluation team, who visited in March. Among oth- ers were student teachers, who alter both students ' and teachers ' routines for a time. The experience of visiting ministers and the pleasure of young children filled the rooms of Blackford. Along with the small came the big — and famous — Harlem Globetrotters and their basketball. Alumni, too, returned from college to visit during their vaca- tion breaks. The daily trend of classroom work was broken up by the diversions of resource speakers. Journalism students learned from alumni speaker Lu Ann Witt, Muncie Star re- porter, who covered the Drollinger trial. A lecture was provided for the Government students. The proper usage of facial make-up was demonstrated to Home Ec. students by Mrs. Sally Onweller. And visitors of a third kind made their appearance. A goose did his best for two weeks to enter the school. Among these unwelcome who did enter were flies. The kindness and open heartedness to all guests is not . just seen during Open House, but almost every day. A con- stant reminder of this hospitality is seen at the South en- trance — a large mat which says, Welcome to Bruin Coun- try. Visitors come In every shape, form and size, as shown by a snow-sculpture snowman, who ap- peared after an early winter snowstorm. 14 Visitors Winter brought more to BHS than snow. The Harlem Globetrotters dribbled their way across the gym, and greeted Chad Thiery at halftime. Lunchtime was a good time to get acquainted, a member of their NCA evaluation team found. He talks with Brian Sargent. Visitors 15 Showing the school they back the team are Farmer Day participants Debby McConnell, Mary Daniel and Phoebe Zigler, during Spirit Week. Rain didn ' t spoil the fun Rain, rain, go away! This thought was in the mind of every Bruin fan on Homecoming night. The ones who weathered the storm sat huddled under blankets, piles of coats, and umbrellas. Crowning the queen was a wet but pleasant job done by Student Council President Brian Lanham. Brian awarded a kiss and roses to Queen Cheri Elliot. The royal court consist- ed of seniors Carrie Pugh and Traci Davis; junior Lora Cap- per; sophomore Brenda Rogers, and freshman Lori Cain. Frontier Land, this year ' s Homecoming theme, got its share of water also, with juniors taking the top float award. The only elements not dampened were the signs, posters, and other decorations Booster Club put up during Spirit Week — and Bruin spirit. A rousing bonfire highlighting the week on the night before the big game got hopes high and spirits rising. The night, though shadowed by the 9-6 loss, people were enthusiastic about anyhow, as cineers rose from the crowd to the very end. The game wasn ' t a total loss, as the Bruins pulled ahead for a short while before defeat rained down on them. The Bruins took their loss in stride with thoughts of victories to come. After the game, those who love to boogie jammed into the cafeteria for a night filled with Powerhouse ' s music. The dance was sponsored by Student Council and ended Home- coming for the year. Neither RAIN, sleet, snow, nor the gloom of night will keep the Bruins from their appointed game ... or was that the mailman? :W:S5«£s?--..3?a ; Rain didn ' t stop the excitement of juniors who worked hard and won first. Admiring the float are Terry Maddox, Kimberly Martin. With rain-soaked suits and bright smiles, the queen court gather once more to end their night as royalty. The court, with escorts, consisted of Lori Cain, Lora Capper, Traci Davis, Cheri Elliot, Carrie Pugh, and Brenda Rogers. 16 Homecoming Carefully placing the crown on a wet and smil- ing queen, Cheri Elliot, is Brian Lanham. Escort Brian Willmann keeps the rain off. They may be damp, but their spirit isn ' t: Vicki Harlow, Phoebe Zigler, and Debby McConnell keep Bruin spirit high — rain or shine. Homecoming 17 What do you want for Christmas? asks Santa Claus imposter Terry Townsend, as he talks to Parkside Elementary youngsters. Cared enough to GIVE GIVE — that four-letter word that is not dirty. Students have GIVEN in several ways during the year ranging from contributions of time and money to lifesaving and sustaining blood. The Publications Department, through a Christmas Wish fund drive, GAVE happiness to a needy family with presents and a complete stock of Christmas food. Appreciation and concern are also gifts that were part of the GIVING by students. Candy-stripers, junior-assistant nurses, numbering approximately 25, fit this category with their aid and help to hospital patients in many special and unique ways. Several seniors contributed in a different way, aiding the continuance of the American form of democracy by voting for their first time in the county elections. Other gifts including riding bikes for the Mental Health drive and door-to-door canvassing for the United Way were also a part of the GIVING by students. It seems that whatever the gift, to whomever it is given, the motive and central theme behind most the GIVING is coincidentally also a clean four-letter word — LOVE.

Contributing 19 What are the best-dressed feet wearing? Gaucho boots? 4-inch high heels? Clogs? Tennis shoes? Earth shoes? YES! Fashion IS the fad stepping out in style tinis year was easy, for it was a year of almost anything goes. To have a fashionable closet a girl would have old jeans to a three-piece suit; a lacy peasant dress to gauchos and cowboy boots. The length of dresses was also variable from right above the knee to the ankle. The new way to top off jeans was with a satin peasant blouse. Going up? You will be if you wear this year ' s style of shoes. Skinny and high heels were back with the higher the better, some of the more fashionable being four to five inches. Not for the safety minded or ungraceful, but just for the adventuress. Another nostalic fad new for this year was the appearance of stick pins on cowl neck sweathers or the collar of a shirt. Now that you ' re all dressed in the latest fashion, where do you go? Tired of John ' s, the Homestead, and the Pizza King? The new spot to go for boogie dancing and pizza was the Lighthouse. If the time to go was in the day, this year ' s new mode of tansportation, the mopeda motorized bicycle, would get you there. Get you there or to this year ' s top movie. Star Wars, of the second top hit, Smokey and the Bandit. Fashions and fads are said to go in trends. This year ' s trend is backwards. Backwards to a more natural time in clothes, transportation, and feelings. Reaching out for their dance tickets in this year ' s latest fashions are Amy Hoover, Lisa West, Mary Daniel and Lynn Lefevre. 20 Fashions Fads Heave- Ho! is on the minds of Jeff Custer, Brian Smith, and Rich Roark as they strive to un-bury a volkswagon. Showing fashionable school dress varies with jeans and a flannel; jeans and a sweater; jeans. Kevin Ford illustrates. Star Wars at BHS is shown in posters and T- shirts. Jeff Nickols could be reading or dream- ing of galactic wars. One great way to impress teachers was to carry calculators around. But now they have to look twice because of the electronic games.

Following the same routine day after day can get boring. The same classes, same people . . . the same ole thing! So when break time rolls around, where are all the Blackford students? They ' re breaking the routine — they ' re going places! And go places they did — far places, sunny places, across the ocean places, and the Government places. The historical background provided the setting for 40 students who toured Washington, D.C., in one day. As al- ways, Florida was a big attraction. Along with memories of a sunny break, they come back the envy of everyone, with a tan. Another sunny vacation resort for Scott Winder was Hawaii. Bev Runner also found the sun inviting as she spent her break in the Bahamas. In the mass of thousands at the California Rock Jam was student Paul Montgomery, who was visiting his brother. Spring Break also gave three seniors the opportunity to visit former BHS students in Arkansas. Reaching outside the boundaries of the U.S., French stu- dents spent their break touring Europe. Breaks in the routine are always welcome. The distance you travel or the place you see doesn ' t really matter. Some- times sleeping in on a weekday till 10 a.m. can be best of all. Reflections of history and the tombs of those who helped make It were observed in Arlington National Cemetery by history students.

I can ' t wait to get inside where it ' s warm. That unexpected vacation sure was nice. SEVEN whole days, thanks to the blizzard of ' 78 — and now if the miners don ' t go back, maybe more. Over a 100-day strike!) Hi, Joe! . . . What ' d I do over break? I shoveled so much snow you wouldn ' t believe; and if I wasn ' t doing that, I was stuck in the house with my little sister. I about went crazy! Was that your grandparents they took food to on a snowmo- bile? (Ah, warmth at last. Hey, what ' s wrong? It ' s cold in here and dark. I can hardly see my locker combination. I think 1 ' !! bring a flashlight tomorrow, and my insulated underwear.) Hey, Bob! What? The Elwood basketball game has been rescheduled for tonight? At 5:30? You ' re kidding! (I AM FREEZING! Maybe I can thaw out in homeroom. Darn, I forgot. No homeroom because of so many delays.) Attention, please, for the morning anouncements. Due to the coal shortage ...

King of the Hill was popular among 4-Hers who welcomed members from Wisconson, dur- ing a trade-off for a week in June and July. Time-out for Summer! It ' s 95-degrees, the sun is beating down, and humidity is high. It ' s just too hot to do anything! Wait. Not so with Blackford students. Summer is action time — time to get going. Summer was a time for students to attend organizational camps. Over 150 Band members marched, played, sweat- ed, and bonged their way through Band camp. Eleven publications students attended summer journalism workshop at Ball State, where adviser Ed Henderson was an instructor. Five workshoppers — Tammi Wentz, Kay Trus- sel, Lynn Lefevre, Jeff Custer, and Steve Rogers — received awards. Cheerleaders did their thing during the annual Ball State camp. Practicing cheers, learni ng new routines, showing school spirit, and generally having fun, as always, were on the agenda. Swinging a bat is a way many girls passed the time during Softball season, with the 3M-AII Stars slugging it to the third game of the State in Columbus. Girls also attended a basket- ball camp this summer. Travel was another summer pleasure, and FHA took ad- vantage of it by riding a train for two and one-half days to the Rocky Mountains. The 4-H Club took part too, by spon- soring a trade, with Wisconson and Blackford students trad- ing homes for a week. But all students didn ' t join clubs or travel in the summer. By just plain staying at home, hanging around the pool, or lying in the sun, some found fun in the 12 weeks off. The majestic Rockies provide the background for Lori Ladd (first row, right) and other FHA members visiting the mountains. 26 Summer Workshops Summer Workshops 27 Tears were shed and many happy memories were brought to mind as America remembered the stars whose deaths shoclced all. Four of the never- to-be-forgotton faces were those of Guy Lom- bardo, age 75, Groucho Marx, 82, Bing Crosby, 73, and Elvis Presley, 42. 28 National Events Explaining his recent remarks on the Palestine State, President Jimmy Carter with wife Rosaiyn confer with Egyptian President Sadat. America paid its last respects to Senator Hubert H. Humphrey, as thousands of mourners filed through the Capitol Rotunda. With the books of the past behind him, Historian Cecil Beeson is Iceeper of the county ' s new his- torical museum. Beginnings and endings Are you going to the trial? I ' ll meet at the courthouse at 5 a.m.! Such comments passed from student to studen in Sep- tember as Roger Drollinger came to trial in Hartford City for the St. Valentine ' s Day slaying of four youths in Parke Coun- ty. Students attended court daily with absence excuses. The final day of the trial saw Drollinger guilty on all counts. Summer brought to Blackford County the new Blackford County Historical Museum, with a special library honoring historian Cecil Beeson. The year also saw the passing of many famous and well- loved celebrities, two of the most popular being Elvis Presley and Bing Crosby. Others were bandleader Guy Lombardo, comedians Grouch Marx and Charlie Chaplin, actress Joan Crawford, actor Freddie Prinz, and Senator Hubert Hum- phrey. Another startling event occurred when Egypt ' s leader Sa- dat started peace talks with Israel ' s leader Begin. The Unit- ed States acted as a mediator for the two count ries. The national scene, the community, and Blackford High School are often viewed as three separate worlds, but this year ' s events have shown worlds intermingle to touch ev- eryone ' s lives. In the artist ' s eye, Roger Drollinger fared well, as Steve Dinse ' s BrulNformer sketch was reprinted in an Illinois daily. Waiting in line was necessary for many BHS stu- dents who witnessed the drama of a murder trial at the courthouse. Community Events 29 rganlgations Study, study, study! That ' s the cure of high school. But no matter who you are or how you study, sometimes you need a change in interest. People need a break from the day-to-day grind, or just a chance to work with people. So, being a Bruin means be- ing a joiner. Sometimes clubs are just an extension of related classes others have more so- cial or technical purposes. Basically, organizations are just a good excuse for a lot of people getting together and having a good time while pro- ducing a program, a product, on a project at the same time.

V ' Getting in ' half the fun Ceremonies ranging from formal candleligint to clownish garb worn during school hours brought almost 100 students into membership of four organizations as official initiates. The organizations were National Honor Society, Industrial Arts Club, Future Homemakers of America, and the swim team. Swim team initiates had another attraction in the form of Jean Kendrick, the only female on the squad. Not only did the team adopt a feminine member, but this was also the first time the Industrial Arts Club took in a girl in their team photo. National Honor Society initiated 53, the largest number of scholars ever. I pledge myself to seek the light of truth ... was the vow spoken by initiates. The newcomers quali- fied for membership by an evaluation conducted by a facul- ty committee which reviewed a new recommendation torn ' submitted by all faculty members. Recommendation waj based on traditional qualities of scholarships, leadership, service and character. Future Farmers of America held a fall initiation for ap- proximately 20 new members. Lettermen planned a winter initiation which followed tra- ditional highly secret procedures, rumors of which were frightening enough to scare off all but the most stout-heart- ed BrulNs. Initiations 33 Awards are often mingled with good-byes. BrulNformer Editor Tamml Wentz hugs Adviser Ed Henderson after receiving award. And the winner is . . . It ' s not if you win or lose but how you play the game. Of course, winning isn ' t everything, but to stand up above the crowd, to be the best, and to win an award for doing it was in the minds of many. Award time always brings with it a mixture of surprised smiles and a few down-hearted glances, though often ac- companied by a good meal. Among organizations that gave awards at annual banquets were DECA, Thespians, and Pub- lications. Although not Oscars, the Thespians Society awarded presentations for best actor and actress, whicfi gave the event a touch of Hollywood. A new award given this year at the Publications banquet was one for the best inno- vation. In the field of music, awards were also presented. A senior girl and boy received the Band ' s John Phillip Sousa award. Choir also gave its annual awards to the outstanding girl and outstanding boy. Awards come in all shapes and sizes, presented for hard work, ability, or talent. All come with the message: nice job. Employee to employer: Senior Pat Carll presents his boos with a token of appreciation at the annual DE spring banquet. Reigning as CIC Tracic Queen, senior Debbie Cool( takes her stand as the ninth girl to repre- sent Blackford at the sectional. 34 Awards In the midst of his career field, Mr. John Adams, Art Club sponsor, concentrates on a favorite piece of art at Chicago ' s Art Museum. Bringing sounds of music to inmates of an Indianapolis nursing home are Debbie Lee and Brenda Hummer, along with other Chorale members. Traveling beyond BHS In joining a club you can become one of two things — a member in name only or an active member. Active means joining, participating and sharing in the fun which traveling to various sites was a part of. The ups-and-downs of traveling around a skating rink were a part of any Art Club member ' s fun and action if he attend- ed the skating party at Muncie. The Windy City, Chicago, was also visited by Art Club- bers and members of the Science Club. The Museum of Science and Industry provided the sights for Science Club, while Art Club toured an Art museum. Both were reunited in a visit at Old Chicago. Indianapolis was the spot picked for the annual Chorale tour held in the spring for the elderly in nursing homes. Spring break gave the Spanish Club the occasion to travel to Mexico. Winter was the season for the FHA travels, when they saw the Holiday on Ice show. Active member: going places, seeing things, enjoying. Other members: the one-time thrill of seeing their pictures in the organization section of the yearbook. Making friends isn ' t hard for Deanna Slusher, with her newest friend on the Spanish Club trip to scenic Mexico. Traveling 35 Competition brought out the best! Juniors try to dethrone seniors in Homecoming tug-of-war. Don Mitcheii pulls as Kevin Reidy coaches. 36 Competing They worked and won Competition: to seek or strive for something for which others are also contending. This definition held true for many clubs and organizations. Besides competing with one another by selling candy, popcorn, and other items, club members participated in class-against-class competition, tug-of-war, and the float building contests. Blackford was represented in state competition in having a finalist in the Speech and Debate meet. Band and Choir were recognized on the state competition level. The Band received two firsts and four seconds at the Solo and Ensem- ble Contest and the Choir received two seconds at the annual Band and Choir Contest. FHA also had an officer representing them at state meetings. The 1977 Reflections received second place at the annual Journalism Day at Ball State. Nation-wide competition was another thing. The Bruln- former won an All-American rating from a National Press group. Ninety-eight juniors faced the morning of the prom to take the national SAT test. Other tests were the PSAT and the National Math. ■Jp : s We ' re No. 1 boast second-hour Journalists on their victory at the annual Publications flag football game. Competing 37 ' That ' s Show Biz ' Three times a year the smell of pizza and french fries is overcome by make-up and nervous perspiration as the Blackford High School cafeteria is transformed from a place of eating to a place of acting. This year lack of a permanent stage wasn ' t the only prob- lem facing the casts and crews of Blackford ' s theatrical productions. The blizzard, coal miners ' strike, and resulting energy crisis almost dropped the curtain on the winter play, Butterflies Are Free, before it even went on stage. The cut-back of extra-curricular activities forced the actors to rehearse at the homes of Director Robert Coscarelli and senior Chris Neel. Eventually, the play itself was moved from February to April and was performed in Repertory with the spring play, The American Dame, directed by Mrs. Debi Carnefix. This was the first time any two plays have been performed this way at Blackford. Seniors Mike Sills and Chris Neel were given the Best Thespian Award and an Honor Bar. The best overall Rook- ie Thespian was Linda Tyler, sophomore, while Best Ac- tress of the Year was captured by sophomore Babette Spain. Junior Paul Montgomery was awarded the Best Ac- tor of the Year. Murray (Paul Montgomery) apologizes to Sandy (Babette Spain) in A Thousand Clowns for being reluctant in his job hunting. Building the sets can be as difficult and unnerv- ing as the rehearsals for Dave Reidy, who takes special care on the windows. 38 Drama Chuckles the Chipmunk (Jamie Lewis) dem- onstrates his ability to make children laugh in the drama, A Thousand Clowns. Exchanging differences in opinions, Murray and his brother Arnold (Doug Dudgeon) keep alive the show of their contrasting characters. You ' ve come a long way. Baby! Cast members of American Dame portray the different roles of women throughout history. Astonishment registers on Jill ' s face (Kelly Bailey) as Ralf (Jeff Custer) overdoes it in front of blind Don Baker (Chris Neel). Draina 39 Concentration is the main problem for Kathleen Atkinson and Lynn Ann Carnes as they vie for first place at the FHA Halloween Party. Showing her winning hand at a German Club game, Jody Lee ends the competition for Kim Gilland, Carole Benedict, and Paula Woodcock. ' Everybody loves a party ' Jugs of root beer, apples, and barbequed chicken carried journalism and publication classes through their night of flag football, with a J class winning for the second year in a row. This was one of the many parties that clubs and organiza- tions planned to enliven the extra-curricular program. The Booster Club sponsored its annual Sadie Hawkins Dance and crowned Jeff Custer king to the music of Road- master. Once again Marryin ' Sam performed the ceremo- nies and couples repeated their I do ' s in farmer attire. Hopping in races and rolling eggs down the hall with your nose were some of the fun events that took place at the Future Homemakers of America Halloween Party. German folk dances and Pitt, a favorite game of the Ger- man Club, were the highlights of the Oktoberfest and the Christmas parties, along with the German specialties, sauer- kraut and sausage. Sloppy spaghetti and tree decorating were among the favorite activities of the Science Club, while the Spanish Club preferred eating candy from a shattered pinta. The thought of another cool, refreshing drink compelled Dale Rice to refill his cup at the OEA Christmas Club Party. 40 Partying Action on the field is cheered by Kevin Ford, Paul Faas, Jan Stanley, and Judy Ruble at the Publications football game. i Boogieing to the beat of the band are Laura Schantz, Joni Langdon, Paula Woodcock, and Deb Tarr at the Booster Club Sadie Hawkins Dance.

A big tiding of Joy from Mrs. Gibson is given to Raymond Turner as FHA shares Christmas cheer with residents of local nursing homes. Pop music is performed by the Concert Choir at the annual Spring concert held before a packed crowd in the gymnasium. School was for everyone Blackford County is not an island, but is definitely part of its towns and county. Just as the Boy Scout helped the little old lady across the street, clubbers help and give their time to help the people of their community. The Future Homemakers of America spent part of their Christimas vacation visiting and showing love to residents of the surrounding county homes. Student Council contributed in several ways, adding a Welcome Mat to the entrance way and sponsoring the annual Open House. Selections from John Denver and Barry Manilow were featured by the Choral department for their yearly Spring Concert. Selling Christmas Wishes proved satisfying for Publication students, as the proceeds went toward helping a family have a merry Christmas. Monday nights could be spent swimming in the school pool, with Mr. Hay as the organizer and licensed students as lifeguards. The Art Department had their works on display for the public, with some items for sale. Providing for others was the motto for organizations groups this year as friendship was spread across the county. Community Involvement 43 Several variations of music are performed by the group Life. Tlie nine-piece band entertained at the spring convocation. For enough energy to power a smali television set, Brian Smith and Rob Runion perform at energy convo. You Light Up My Life Is sung by one of the three girls performing with the group Life. She entertained the male in the crowd. 44 Entertaining There was a time for fun Educational, interesting, and enjoyable are three needed qualities of convocations, Mr. G. William Anderson, princi- pal, believes. During the fall, a convo on the uses of energy was present- ed. It demonstrated how to conserve and utilize various types of energy needed in everyday life. Life entered the student body assembly during the spring. The nine-piece band played musical arrangements of popular songs during the past five years up until the current songs of the charts today. Seniors Kevin Ford and David Green were sung to by two of the females in the group during little incidental solos. Juniors Rochelle Anderson and Dee Dee Schwindt were the choices the two lead male singers made during their solos. I could ' ve danced all night is indicated by Rich Roark and Rhonda Mann.

Lighter side of publishing Between the pressures of deadlines, Pub students relaxed in a variety of informal moments. The annual Pub-J flag football was one. This year ' s game was won by the journal- ism students. Another relaxing moment was eating reward cakes. Publications and journalism students were treated to cake after receiving high awards for the BrulNformer and Reflections, as well as other minor reasons. Also, the annual Publications banquet was a night of festivity, and the 70 people attending saw an informal movie spoofing the sen- iors by Paul Montgomery. Before relaxing, however. Pub students had their work. This year there was one brand new special BrulNformer edition, the North Central Evaluation issue.

Organizations Groups 59 cadcmic Hitting the books is as natural to a real Bruin as hit- ting a ball on the diamond. The average Bruin-minded student carried bool s for five classes. He would admit that classes range from dull to challenging, or easy to terrify- ing. But regardless of his reac- tion, he realized the work was there to be done — and a tell- tale tally would emerge on his grade sheet every six weeks. Most students learned to take the bitter with the sweet; the required with the optional. Alumni returingfrom college on breaks also provided some motivation. Most warned Bru- ins to hit the books while in high school because you ' ll later be glad you did. 60 Academic Division Page Academic Division Page 61 Armed Forces representatives, arranged by guidance, explain their program and require- ments to Mike Lambert in homeroom session.

Counselor Mrs. Jayne Allen dis- cusses a change with John Speed. Gui dance added courses One place in this school is used often by students if wor- ried about their attendance record, if they want to know their class rank, or if they desire to drop a class. That ' s the guidance office. Guidance offered three new classes to students, including Mr. Moore ' s Sports Information, Drama, and a one-semes- ter course in senior English. Sports Information was intended to make students be- come better spectators. Thirty students enrolled in this one- semester class. Counselors scheduled 22 students into Drama this year. Taught by Mr. Coscarelli, Drama showed students the tech- niques of acting, analysis of plays, and methods used in the theater. A new program for seniors offered through Guidance was a new one-semester course in English, taught by Mrs. Shuttleworth. In the spring juniors took the Basic Language Arts Competency Test. Those who didn ' t pass it took this one-semester English course which taught primarily basic English. Twenty-two were enrolled. Forty students attended two trade schools this year. At the Muncie Career Center, 38 were enrolled while two at- tended the Marion trade school. Guidance is the nerve center of the school. Through this Guidance Department students get advice, warning, instruc- tion, and sometimes sympathy. Guidance follows progress of BHS grads in college in order to provide adequate preparation. Two ' 77 grads at I.U. study on scenic campus: Brian Davis (top) and J.R. Stallsmith.

Students can admire art also, as Judy Ruble, Terry Curme, and Tod Cain study the many pro- jects made by art classes. 64 Art Department Art was for everyone Many students say things like OIn, I can ' t be in art be- cause I don ' t know inow to draw. But the Art Department has many more classes than just drawing. They include textiles, ceramics, and sculptures, as well as drawing. Climaxing each year is the all-school art show. Every stu- dent artist tries to display at least one project done during the year. Many enter more than one display. Winners in the art show receive ribbons for their exhibits. A Best of Show winner is chosen overall. This year there were four Gold Key winners and one hon- orable mention at the National Scholastic Art Contest. Jeff Woolard, Doris Kreischer, Vicki Williams, and Kelly Baily were all Gold Key winners in textiles. Steve Dinse won a Gold Key in water colors and two honorable mentions in ink drawing. Mark McDaniel won three honorable mentions in photography. Steve Dinse, Kelly Baily, and Vicki Williams also entered their projects at the national level. The Art Department is made up of four teachers including Mr. Bob Cromer, chairman; Mr. John Adams, general chair- man of the art show; Mrs. Debra Gabbard, and Mrs. Marlene Roth. Art isn ' t just for the extremely gifted student; but due to the broad curriculum, all students will gain from being in- volved, said Mr. Cromer. He added, Students are able to acquire skills through which they are able to express them- selves. With Mr. Adams ' experience and Jeff Custer ' s steady hands, this clay pot will be shaping up in no time at all. CD DQ (D -I— ' ' o Q CO o While football, basketball, and baseball were his original boyhood interests. Band Director William G. Fread soon became interested in the clarinet, an interest which was to become his eventual major activity in grade school. Little did the present BHS director Icnow as a sixth grader that his new inter- est in the clarinet would not only moti- vate his future profession, but would also one day indirectly result in his receiving the MAC Award as outstanding band director in Indiana for 1978. But Mr. Fread didn ' t just get that award for playing the clarinet in sixth grade. He built his career and earned the award through years of work. He studied piano and clarinet throughout high school and also picked up the saxophone while in the Air Force, playing sax and clarinet in the 4th Air Force Band. But it did not stop there. He continued his education at Indi- ana State University, where he majored in music, earning a masters with a specialty clause attached in woodwinds. During college he was presented the Harold Bright Award as outstanding music sen- ior. In 1969, when Blackford High School was built, the position of Band director was filled by Mr. Fread, who had formerly been director at Hartford City High School. During his years as band director, Mr. Fread ' s bands have received 23 first divi- sion ratings in marching and 28 in con- cert competition. In his hard-to-find spare time, the fa- ther of five children (Susan, Craig, Chris, Libby, and John), Mr. Fread is a high handicap golfer. He is proud of the hole- In-one scored in 1973 at the Blackford County Country Club. Band Director William G. Fread. 66 Music Department Putting together their talents to provide enter- tainment for visitors at open house are Bryan Maddox and Doug Garrett. Fund-raising aided music The 13 organizations in the Music Department were helped to prepare for their professional-level appearances by the curricular music classes. These credit classes are Concert Choir, Chorale, Boys and Girls Glee Clubs, Sym- phonic and Concert Band, and Music History. This year there were 346 students enrolled in these classes. Music History and Music Theory classes are offered to choir and band students or to students with significant musi- cal background. Music History involves a study of a general concept of the development of music through the ages by establishment through research and listening to music. In Music Theory the basic music fundamentals are studied and mastered. Band Tag Day reached a high of $3,700 this year. Each band member (including junior high and middle school), volunteered for a door-to-door route so the whole county was canvassed. This money was used for expenses during the year. Substitution of an extra performance rather than going to marching contest this year was another new enterprise for the Band. The Band spent a Saturday afternoon at a Man- chester College football game, providing them with half- time entertainment. Gloria, a 35-minute sacred number, was performed by the Chorale at the annual Sacred Concert. This is one of the most challenging numbers we ' ve ever done, comment- ed Director Mr. Phil Turley. The choirs also reached a high of $500 at their annual bake sale. The purpose of the Bake Sale is to give the choirs money for things such as contest entry fees and new music. Each member was required to bring some goodies and if they wanted, help sale them. The Choir performed many community ser- vices. Brad Everhart and VIcIci Harlow sing at the Blackford County 4-H fair. The Concert Choir, made up of sophomores, under the direction of Mr. Phil Turley, performs one of their selections during fall concert. Many hours of practice hopefully will pay off in the future for senior Steve Shrader, who per- fects his drum techniques.

U iS2= iy ' Back to Basics ' was goal Back to Basics was the goal for the Language Arts Department this year, according to Department Chairman Mrs. Ann Kerr. This year marked the first time juniors could take a lan- guage skills test. If they passed the test, students could elect not to take senior English. If they received a failing grade, they were assigned to take one semester of Senior Basic English. Mrs. Ruth Henderson, English teacher, was assigned as Language Arts Coordinator for grades kindergarten through 12, to establish a better inter-school curriculum. Mass Communications students learned the basics of television and radio broadcasting. Under the supervision of Ms. Debi Carnefix, the crew also telecast the morning an- nouncements. Understanding the basics of acting and stage design en- abled Drama I students to perform in a special one-act play after school. The class also explored the psychology of act- ing and studied Greek plays. Another journalism class was added to the schedule be- cause of the largest enrollment ever. The journalists learned the basics of writing, gathering and displaying news. Pizza was a reward for Journalism I students for a pizza feature. Consumers are Terry Town- send, Joe Leeth, Lori Fergus, and Kevin Ford. Language Arts Department 69 Preparation of French food was new in the For- eign Language Department. The French class waits to be served dishes a la francais. I don ' t need any help, says Terry Maddox to German teacher Mrs. Claretta Dutro, as Tod Rea shows he ' s amused at the episode. BHS was multi-lingual Have you ever heard students walking down the hall con- versing in a different language? Many such people took a class in one of the four foreign languages taught. French cuisine was a new project in the Foreign Language Department this year. All the French students cooked a self- prepared dish. Classes studied French literature for the first time. They also made a film production of a variety of fairy tales in French II classes while French I classes produced the commercials. Spanish classes also joined the activities in the Foreign Language Department by writing plays in Spanish. German and Latin classes filled out the rest of the Foreign Language classes with a number of projects done this year. Teachers in the Foreign Language Department this year included Mrs. Debbie Gabbard, department chairman and French t eacher; Miss Becky Moore, Spanish; Mrs. Claretta Dutro, German; and Mr. John Leech, Latin. If you ever want to speak back to those foreign-talking students, just take a foreign language class. Are they speaking German in the halls? Waiting for German class to begin are Heidi Heiser, Car- ole Benedict, and Joni Langdon. IF P yj ■ ' ■■ J. ' - r- ' ' ' - , ' W ' ■4 ' - i§ ' s • ?

Foreign Language Department 71 Classes spent a great deal of time in the water learning the basics of swimming. P.E. students were required to swim. Outdoors was preferred to indoors, so every pos- sible fall moment was spent out in the air. Kick- ball was one of the popular sports. Returning to the surface, Shari Sutton finds Mr. Brian Hay, swimming teacher, waiting to sug- gest improvements in diving. 72 Health, Physical Education Explaining a raquetball tourney to her class, Mrs. Joan Metz describes operation of the tour- ney and the outcome of the drawings. Practice sessions before the tourney familiarized the student with the game. Freshman Jeff Colbert takes advantage of one. Physical Ed. also existed in the alleys. Concentra- tion and form are part of the instructions as Bryan McDonald starts to roll. From weak to strong There ' s no way that freshmen and sophomores can be out of physical condition, since there are stairs to climb — and Physical Education. New teachers for P.E. this year were Mrs. Claudia Clark and Mr. Brad Manner. Mr. Craig Moore replaced former teacher Mr. Fred Welge as head of the department. Mr. Welge now teaches Physical Education in the elementary schools. A new class added to the department was Sports Informa- tion. Taught by Mr. Moore, the course gave students an understanding of a variety of sports, including the basic rules and objectives of each. The class totalled 30, and various sports speakers were brought in for them. One ma- jor project was conducted by each student, requiring re- search such as on the CIC and other related athletic sub- jects. Two classes were dropped from the curriculum. Drugs and Gymnastics, because of lack of interest. Part of the content of these courses was covered in Sports Informa- tion, Every two years P.E. is evaluated and necessary changes made. Class procedure is also scheduled, and plans are made to select specific sports to be taught during the year. Also, the amount of available equipment required becomes a major factor. Not all of it can be replaced from what is broken or stolen in previous years. Newly created Sports Information class finds many instructional topics. Mr. Craig Moore helps students learn sport rules. Health, Physical Education 73 The traditional robe worn in Peru is displayed by science teacher Mr. David Shaver. He lived in Peru for 14 years. 74 Math, Science Departments Mixing chemicais is not the easiest thing to do. Gary Irwin and Gina Ely concentrate on their creation in chemistry class. From crayfish to cats When freshmen come into the school, they usually talk about dissecting worms, clams, frogs, fish, crayfish, and cats. What department could they be talking about? The Science Department, of course. For the second year, freshmen were offered a choice of four science classes. These include Biology, Physical Sci- ence, Life Science, and Survey of Physical Science. Life Science teaches the study of all living things. Stu- dents frequently are in laboratory work in this course. Sur- vey of Physical Science has a broad range of teaching. The class is a mixture of Chemistry, Physics, Meteorology, Space Science, and others. It is a general broad science course dealing with everything except Life Science. The Science Department head is Mr. Don McAfee and includes four other teachers. Senior Mark Armstrong took top honors in the National Math Test this year with a point total of 65. Following him was junior Steve Rogers with 62 points. According to Mr. Jerry Shreves, Math Department chair- man, the Calculus and Trigonometry classes covered more material this year than in previou s years. In the past years, one half of the freshman students took General Math and half took Algebra. Now more freshmen are taking Algebra, 2 to 1 over General Math. The rest of the Math Department ' s teachers were Mr. Beaver, Mr. Newell, Mr. Dailey, Mr. Os- born, and Mrs. Trees, who was new in the department. Nobody trip me! says Rich Roark, as he makes sure that none of his Insects for Advanced Biol- ogy get away from him. It ' s not as complicated as it looks, says Mr. Beaver to his Algebra II class. Now, are there any questions? Math, Science Departments 75 General Business students expressed knowledge of Money problems, Including Rhonda Clark, also displaying her creative ability. ' Jobs ' were their goal At least one academic area can graduate a student pre- pared to hold a skilled job. This is the Business Department. Potential secretaries, typists, bookkeepers, and retail clerks exit from the nine business courses ready for wage-earning. Distributive Education teaches students retail sales tech- niques. After one year in the classroom, DE finds part-time training jobs for students during school hours for credit. Office Education Association, sponsored by Mrs. Irene Springer, is a club affiliated with the Business Department. Every year the students travel to Marion for the OEA region- al contest. This year, Brenda Reff the only state contender, placed second in the regional in Stenographies. Five new manual typewriters and five electric typewriters were purchased for the department. The department adds five manual typewriters each year to replace the old ones. This replacement schedule keeps the equipment modern. Seven teachers make up the Business Department, with Mr. Thomas Hale being the department chairman. Look what I got! Tyann McJunkin says as she shows her present to Brenda Reff at the OEA Christmas party. Not every bookkeeping calculation can be fig- ured on the first try. Mrs. Irene Springer assists Kurt Hardley in finding answer. 76 Business Department Making sure she doesn ' t watch the keys instead of the book, Ely Ganey concentrates on her typ- ing by using the system. Problems in bookkeeping preoccupy Rachel Barker as she strives to find a solution in her current assignment. Distributive Education sends many students to jobs.

Theri Zimmermann makes sure her measurements are correct. Teachers don ' t just teach. They also demon- strate. Mr. Jesse Muggins carefully examines his sawing project, making no errors. Wood lathes require concentration and skill. Bob Long carefully smoothes out his piece of wood for his project. Females invaded shop It was another victory for Women ' s Liberation. Industrial Arts, usually contolled by the males, took on a feminine look this year. Two girls — senior Kathy Snapp and junior Theri Zimmerman — went through I. A. initiation successfully, meaning they are enrolled in some Industrial Art classes. A new faculty face was added to the staff this year — Mr. Dan Seymour. Mr. Seymour took over in Metal Fabrication and Industrial Cooperative Training, replacing Mr. Richard Dunkelbarger, who transferred to Muncie North. The annual car rally was scheduled for April, and a tour at Fisher Body plant in Marion was planned. The Career Center was another major interest of the Industrial Arts students. About 40 attended in both Marion and Muncie the last half of each day. New books were also evident, as in printing, which used Kazy ' s Graphic Arts. A new class procedure was instituted by Mr. Gary Cheesman in Printing I. He let the students work in pairs on assignments, hopefully so they would gain a better cameraderie, and supplement their learning through discussion between themselves and their teachers. Welding is a brilliant Industrial Arts activity. Mr. John Sheets shows students how to avoid accidents by wearing goggles-helmet.

Serving was a specialty Whether it ' s a lecture, a demonstration, a new dress pat- tern, a field trip, or a new recipe, the activities in the Home Economics Department have variety-plus. Each year the Home Economics Department has ban- quets and parties for different organizations within the school. Among others this year ' s included a retirement din- ner for Mrs. Esther Black, retired secretary of the Adminis- tration of Blackford Schools. The Home Ec. Department also emphasized a blood donation drive sponsored by the Family Health Classes. A new teacher joined the department this year. Mrs. JoAnne Gibson, also the dean of girls, taught two Home Ec. classes. The department also prepared food three times a day during the visit of the North Central Evaluation Committee. For the teachers Home Ec. had a Christmas Tea Party. Mrs. Pat Bowdell, department chairman, said, We expect our students to do a lot for others, and the Christmas Tea was a way of saying ' thank you ' to them. Other teachers in the Home Ec. Department Included Mrs. Gladys Cause and Mrs. Kay Halley. The Home Ec. Department has been on a long-term re- placement program with their major appliances. F or exam- ple, every year they receive a new washer, replacing the old one. Keeping this child ' s attention may not be easy, but JodI Falk and Penny Robinson keep little Kurt Banter amazed at what ' s in the paper bag. Home Economics Department 81 Washington, D.C., was the location for many stu- dents and chaperones from the Social Studies Department to explore and learn on tour. After several years as dean of girls, Mrs. Place asked for a full-time assignment in the Social Studies Department. Government classes again studied income tax- es. Mrs. Hartzell explains the filing procedure to Kathy Squlers, Terry Townsend, Kris Glancy. 82 Social Studies Department A demonstration and lecture on equipment used in World War I is shown by Mr. Brad Manner to his U.S. History students. Year of visits and visitors High-point for Government students this year was the trial of Roger Drollinger in Blackford County. Many students of the Social Studies Department traveled to the courthouse during the week of the trial during school hours. Another major highlight in the Social Studies Department was the trip to Washington, D.C. The trip was a one-day adventure with 47 people attending from the department. These included 40 students and seven adult chaperones. Lecturers were frequent in Social Studies. A representa- tive from the ITT Company discussed the details of budget- ing in everyday life. He also spoke about the programs offered at ITT for future opportunities. A series of movies was shown to Government classes. These which dealt with political issues of the Government, were produced by the ATT Company. Two new faces were seen on the Social Studies staff. Besides Mrs. Place, another new teacher this year, Mr. Brad Hanner, taught U.S. History. Social Studies Department 83 ports If all the sports buffs in Bruinland were laid end-to- end, there would be just about 1200 of them. Whether a player, a rabid fan, or just an ignorant disciple of Bruin- ism who doesn ' t know a bat boy from Batman, almost ev- ery inhabitant backed the team in spirit. It was also a year of femi- nine participation. Not only did the girls have teams of their own in four sports — they also joined the boys ' squads in two others. Seasons in two sports end- ed with shocks, however, when two veteran coaches who had guided their teams since the school opened turned over their scorebooks to successors.

Top yardage not enough Mistakes can kill you, and for the football Bruins they did enough damage to lead them to the worst season in the school ' s history. The first four games were marred by fum- bles, which stopped scoring drives from producing needed points. The Bruins, as in the past, had a dominant running attack. The gridders racked up 2,263 yards to 1,995 from their opponents for an average of 226 yards per game on the ground compared to the opponents ' 199 yards. Leading rusher for the season was junior Dave Smith with 610 yards, followed by senior Greg Sinclair ' s 433. The backfield work was divided among many people. Seniors Rick Tarr, Dan Beal, Kris Glancy, and Sinclair split time with juniors Joe Leeth, Brian West, Mike Bryant, and Smith. Defense was led by senior Steve Townsend with 46 tack- les and 28 assists. Leeth was close behind with 42 tackles and 25 assists. Bryant led in interceptions with five, and numerous players were tied with fumble recoveries. The Bruins led in first downs 102 to 86, but lost the total points 144 to 190. Two new coaches were added to the staff. Mr. Dan Sey- mour became the new defense line coach, and Brad Hanner replaced Steve Duchene as defensive back coach and de- fensive coordinator. Smith and Townsend took the post-season awards, as they were voted by teammates most outstanding back and lineman, respectively. At the season ' s end Coach Elden Leeth hung up the clip- boards for the last time. Leeth, the only head football coach in Bruin history, announced his decision after the season- ending loss to the Huntington Vikings. 86 Varsity Football Reaching out for as much yardage as possible, senior Kris Glancy tries to get away from a Peru tackier after catching a pass.

Until attending the Oinio State- Northern game at age of 11, El- len Leeth was uninterested in football. Since then his life has been. full of football as both a team mem- ber and coach, reaching its cli- max with a state championship Bruin team in 1974. This No- vember he announced an end to his career as head Bruin football coach with a record of 65 wins and 29 losses. Mr. Leeth participated in baseball and basketball in both high school and college Al- though he thought of himself as too small to play football, he still fraternized with football players. After high school, he attended Wilmington College, majoring in P.E. Then after four years at Wil- mington, it was on to the Army. Entering the Army, Mr. Leeth felt he had grown enough to play football. During the two years, he made an All-Army team. He then went to Madison South High School in Ohio to teach and coach junior high sports. Coach Leeth then came to Hartford City to coach football for five years, plus two years of frosh basketball, moving to BHS for his final nine years of coach- ing. During the nine years here the fans noticed his famous hat toss. I used to flip a clipboard at Hartford City until one night the wind blew it over my head, and it just missed a little girl. That was enough to make me switch to a hat. Mr. Leeth has coached in Blackford County for 14 years. If, after his junior gridder son Joe graduates from high school, a door is open in the way of a coaching job at BHS in football, athletes just might again be call- ing him Coach Leeth. o CO O o CD DO i Varsity Football 89 Junior guard Steve Rogers collapses upon a Gi- ant ball carrier when Junior Varsity Bruins meet Marion counterparts Nov. 22. Inexperience cost games We outhit every team we played, but we didn ' t run our plays as smooth as we should have — mainly because of our lack of practice, remarked Coach Rick Clark on the out- come of the Junior Varsity 3-3 football season. Due to the lack of players on the varsity level, the JV was forced to practice with the varsity, thus limiting the time to perfect their own team. The cancellation of the JV schedule the year before also hurt players on both squads with the amount of experience they lacked. Coach Clark was pleased with the return of the schedule this year, saying it should show up in the varsity play next year. The Cubs ended their season record at 3-3 while gaining valuable experience. Sophomore Brian Smith was the lead- ing rusher. He saw much action on the varsity level Kent Roush and Kent Havens were praised with their defensive efforts, while Todd Rea and Brian Wentz played the line. If they stay together, they can be very good in the future, stated Freshman Football Coach Craig Moore con- cerning his Teddybears, who ended the season with a 6-2 record. Their two losses combined were by a total of only three points. Coach Moore felt this bunch of Freshmen learned a great deal about football. Examples of their skill were evident in the Jay County game, where the Frosh scored 21 points the first quarter. They also learned how to take defeat in the final moments of a game. With a 20-14 lead against Noblesville with 2:14 remaining, the Bears were beaten on a long pass, and lost the game 21-20. This year was also the first for a two-platoon system; that is, 11 on defense and 11 different players on offense. Standout for the Freshmen were halfback Joe Scnmidt and Marty Clock, along with fullbacks Chris Townsend and Tom Applegate. The line was anchored by tackles Matt Dan- iel and Kevin Fettig.

Muscle-stretching exercises are a precautionary measure for Buddy Geesaman and Mike Baughey to save muscle injury during the meet. Harriers 2nd in CIC This was a good year and a building season, which should provide a steadily growing team in the future, commented Cross Country Coach Chris Coy. The season ended with Blackford holding a 5-3 record in dual meets plus placing well in several invitationals. Four returning lettermen led the ' 77 Bruin harriers, in- cluding sophomores Gregg Osborn and Scott Emshwiller, junior Don Mitchell, and the lone senior teammate, Mike Baughey. Blackford finished second in the CIC, ending sea- son competition behind only sixth state-ranked Wabash. After ending a fine regular season, the Bruins finished ninth out of 28 teams in the Sectional. Gregg Osborn, being the only Blackford runner quajifying for the regional meet, fin- ished 17th of 150 runners and was the top sophomore finisher in the competion. Looking back on the season, Mr. Coy said he was well pleased with the team ' s performance in the overall season and with their three losses coming from only ranked teams. Mr. Coy said community support and backing for the harriers rose due to better team records, although it still seems to be lacking. He relayed this thought by saying, I do not feel cross country is getting the support that it needs to become a major power in high school sports. Members of the invitational teams receive infor- mation on the way the meet will be conducted from Blackford ' s Coach Chris Coy. 92 Cross Country With the pack still grouped together, team run- ners try to break out in the open before they start on the main path of the 2 2 miles.

Racketmen netted 3 wins At one time the Bruin tennis team stood 2-0 In CIC play, but tine success didn ' t last, as a rash of trouble plagued the team, who eventually found th emselves in fourth place with a 2-4 conference record. I was somewhat disappointed, stated Coach Jerry Shreves after his Bruin netters were blanked by Jay County in the South Adams Sectional. The 5-0 loss, combined with a 3-13 season record, plus numerous other problems, caused the voluntary post-season resignation of Coach Shreves, Blackford ' s only tennis coach in its nine years. Despite the season, two Bruin racketmen were named to the CIC Honor- able Mention team — seniors Gregg Jones and Rea Garrett. Three girls, never before seen in a Bruin tennis team, made it through the long season. Freshmen Misti Crull! Margy Cimino, and Robyn Richman began the early fall practices just like the guys, but saw limited action due to the competition of other team members.

The Stroupmen started with CIC victories over Wa- bash and Madison-Grant, then lost three in a row to Marion, Muncie Central, and Huntington North. After the Holiday Tourney the Bruins lost to Peru, won a victory over East- brook, lost to Alexandria, then came back with a four-game win streak. The Bruins were then beaten by Yorktown, but came back with victories over Fort Wayne Wayne, Muncie North, and Mississinewa. Weather caused many lay-offs, cancelled or postponed games. Then the coal strike postponed the Regional and allowed the posting of three more season victories over Jay, Elwood, and Kokomo. Gregg Jones and Jeff Nickels led the team with high- scoring averages of 16.7 and 15.7, respectively. Jones and Nickels also led in assists with 99 and 60. Evan Pethtel held the highest field goal average with a 55.9% followed closely by Jones, Buckner, and Nickols with .472, .482, and .489. The team had a Field goal average of .472.

Varsity Basketball 97 Bruins ' holiday hosts ' The Bruins did well in tournament play. They advanced to the final game of the Holiday Tourney and won the Section- al, later defeating the defending state champions in the regional only to gain a disappointing loss to Anderson in the final. As the host of the Holiday Tourney, the Bruins defeated Indianapolis Cathedral 67-64 and were defeated by Muncie North 57-58. The Bruins swept the Sectional in style with a 97-65 victory over Delta and a 58-47 win over Wes-Del. The Stroupmen, after three victories between the Sectional and delayed Regional, upset the Carmel Greyhounds 62-59. Coach Jon Stroup said, They felt they could Beat Carmel at half-time, but they didn ' t beat them as well as they would have liked. The hope of a regional championship was crushed as Anderson beat the Bruins 76-62. Coach Stroup commented, The competition was really stiff in both the Holiday Tourney and in the regional. Greg Jones and Jeff Nickols contributed, as they had all year with double digit averages in the tourney. Jones was named to the first CIC team and Nickols to the second.

With no coal and no room for practice, the Cubs and the Teddybears suffered through miserable sea- sons. Junior Varsity Coach Rick Teats attributed his big prob- lem this year to not having enough time for practice. One hour was usually left open after the varsity, but it wasn ' t adequate for what they needed. The schedule was the same as it had been in the past, but the coal strike left some games yet to be played. Rick Clark ' s Freshmen didn ' t fare much better, finishing 1-11. The Teddybears were the earlybirds of the courts as their practices started at 6 a.m. Concentration at the early practices was rarely evident, which complicated the proce- dure. Mr. Clark, disappointed in the season, summed up the past in these words: The team as a whole has a lot of maturing to do, but there are some individuals who show grea t potential. The big names were once again on the road, as some Muncie teams and Marion teams gave the Frosh all they wanted. The only win of the season came from Madison- Grant, 74-53. Leading scorer was Brett Townsend at 10.5. Tom Applegate and Doug Coons led in rebounding. 100 Junior Varsity and Freshman Basketball The tip goes to Kris Dearduff, as Jeff Stroup Leading the Freshman team in a fast brealt, as jumps high above his opponent from the Madi- he did all year in scoring, is Bruin Teddybear son-Grant team.

Best season for tankers The Blackford swim team had the best season ever, with a team record of 7-2 in dual meets. The weather had an effect on the condition of the swimmers as well as the season, as it cancelled seven regular meets. Co-captains were Bob Tarter and Jeff Custer. Custer led the way with the highest number of points and also was the most consistent throughout the year. These two strong points earned him the Most Valuable Swimmer award. Two records were broken this year. Brent Tarter broke Mark Lewellen ' s old record with a time of 5.33.63 and Jeff Custer broke his former record with a new time of 1.00.8. In the Sectional all swimmers cut seconds off their best times, but only the diving team placed. Brad Pulley, Brad McConnell, and Kevin Ford place 4, 5, and 6 respectively.

Impressive performers through the year were Rich Roark in the high jump, Greg Osborn in distance races, Rick Shrock and Evan Pethtel in the hurdles, Brad Everhart in the pole vault, and John Eppard in weight events. Two school records were broken. Roark broke the high jump record at 6-3, and Everhart topped the school pole vault record with a jump of 13-3. Four tracksters advanced to the Regional. Eppard placed fourth in the Sectional in the shot put and eighth in the Regional. Osborn was third in the Sectional to advance in the mile.

The team lost their opener to Muncie South and then beat Bluffton both games of a double header. They next lost a double header to New Castle and dropped a game to state- rated Munice Central. The Bruins next won one over Marion, before losinjg to Eastbrook. They dropped two to Dekalb before beating Norwell 10-3 and Madison-Grant 1-0. The squad lost to Elwood for their only defeat in the CIC and also to Madison Heights before beating Peru and Jay County. Next loss was to Huntington, 3-2, but the Bruins came back to win their last two games of the regular season against Alexandria and Tipton. Despite the loss to Elwood, the Bruins were declared the eventual Central Indiana Conference champions. Gary Lannoy was the leading pitcher, had the most stolen bases, and was second in batting, averaging 341. Greg Jones was the batting leader with an average of 347, while Jeff Nickols was second in stolen bases with 11.

' Almost gold ' twice in row After a long season with a rough start, the Bruins settled down and began to play ball when tourney time rolled around. The bats came alive and the errors were few and far between as Mr. Craig Moore coached the team to second best in the state. In the Sectional it took the Bruins 11 innings to beat the Patriots 3-1. Then they easily beat Bluffton 9-1. In the first game of the Regional, the Bruins topped El- wood 12-2, and in the evening game met a tough-hitting Bellmont team, but outlasted them 5-4. Of two impressive wins in the Semi-State, the first was over Pendleton Heights 6-2. The Bruins then blanked Co- lumbus East, 4-0, and were again on their way to Busch S tadium and the State finals for the second consecutive year. In the afternoon game of the finals, the Bruins pulled out a 6-3 victory over LaPorte to advance to the final game of the State tourney, with some fine hitting and a homerun by Jeff Nickols. The Bruins started out in the final game against Evansville Memorial with a triple from Nickols and a lone run. But that was all the Bruins could muster as the undefeated Evansville team defeated the Bruins 7-1. Thus a so-so season climaxed with getting as close to the State Championship as possible without winning it. There was one big consolation for the heartbreaking loss — the Mental Attitude Award went to Bruin Brian Lanham.

Among the players to gain varsity experience were Gary Langdon, pitcher; Eric Langdon, shortstop; Pat Parker, first base; and Tod Boise, behind the plate. The Freshman squad, coached by Russ Sutton, held a season record of 6-1, their only loss coming at the hands of Dekalb in a double header. Coach Sutton said the defense was good, but he did not have a chance to teach the team as much as he thinks he should have because of the weather. Sutton commented that the hitting was fairly good and that Larry Williams held the season high batting average. His pitching staff was made up of Dave Dickey and Craig Reese.

The golfers beat Peru and Tipton in a triangular-meet and placed second against Blaffton and Mario n. Coach Ross Myers said, The best meet of the season was against New Castle, although the team lost 322-320. The second best meet was in a tri-meet against Tipton and Peru. The weather was a major enemy for the Bruins, causing two cancellations and two make up rr.atches. The team was mostly upperclassmen, with four seniors and two juniors. John Moore led the team with the most consistent low score of 40. Scott Winder was the second man, holding an average of 41. Jeff Lanning, Mike Willmann, and Bob Roark each averaged around 42, and Paul Faas held a 43 average. The Sectional team consisted of Moore, Winder, Roark, Lanning, and Willmann. The team placed fifth in the Section- al. Coach Myers said, It was a nice season despite weather habdicaps. with a low season score of 38 against Marion, John Moore shows his chipping form that helped to earn him the team ' s first position.

Lynn Lefevre was named Most Valuable player and also scored the most points. The season was worthwhile, and we will have several outstanding players returning, said Coach Clark. They worked hard throughout the season but lacked height which is so necessary In the sport. The Girls ' Basketball squad, directed by new Head Coach Craig Moore and Assistant Coach Claudia Goodnight, led a young and inexperienced team to a 3-11 season. This was a rebuilding year, as the roster contained only one senior. Lynn Lefevre led the team in points with a 17.7 average and also in rebounds, with 119. Kendra Ducy followed in both departments with a 5.9 point average and 91 re- bounds. GIRLS ' VOLLEYBALL TEAM: (Bottom Row) mgr.

Which will prevail? Bryan Maddox shows neither wins or loses, but both seep through one way or another. Their spirit snowballed In a year when everybody needed a little boosting tine Bruin Backers were tliere doing what they do best. Though Blacl ford fans were sparse throughout the sea- son, they showed their true colors when tourney time rolled around. Pep sessions — where spirit was usually forced and unenthusiastic — ran overtime, and the usually apa- thetic students had to be forced to be seated at the Region- al. The spirit that sprang up for the Sectional snowballed through the next week when finally, on Friday, students refused to return to class until the administration length- ened the afternoon pep session. Bruin boosters followed the basketball team right into the Regional, where Bruin fans out-yelled Carmel, the defending state champions, and led the Bruins to the final round of the Anderson Regional. The merging of Tri-Hi-Y and BBC resulted because of the need of girls to fill the positions at sports events. Therefore, the ' 77- ' 78 school year was the last year for the existence of Tri-Hi-Y.

Give me a R! An R appears on the floor composed of bodies. This crying out and letter-forming continues until Bruins has been spelled out by the flexible bodies. All at once the entire crowd jump to their feet in applause. This new form of art can ' t be seen in a museum. It can ' t be bought in boxes of Breeze. It can only be seen by attending BHS ' s basketball games. This new art, turned tra- ditional cheer, is performed by the male members of the cheerleading squad. Besides conducting this classic cheer — and cases of laryngitis — the cheerleaders sponsored dances, pep ses- sions, and a pep breakfast. By showing their skills at cheerleading camp, the Varsity squad collected eight superior ribbons, four excellent, one outstanding. They had two honor squads and won two spirit sticks. Individual awards went to Jeff Custer and Jeff Woo- lard, who were asked to instruct at the next summer camp. Cheerleaders were there to rejo ice with the winners and comfort the losers. But when spirits were sagging, the cheerleading squad was always there to get things fired up! Above: JUNIOR VARSITY CHEERLEADERS: (Bot- tom) Julie Bailey, (Middle) Kelly Mellert. Lisa West.

Bruin is the combined personalities of all kinds of people who call Blackford High School their own. It ' s the blending of mi- norites and majorites of many types. They include the tiny freshman who can ' t reach the top of his locker, and Gregg Jones, who stoops t o see into his; the A student who hardly ever has to crack a book, but also the fellow who burns the midnight oil to make a C . Bruin joins the bashful guy who would rather hide than ask for a Prom date, and the clown who ' s the life of the lunch- time cafeteria table. Yes, the term Bruin is as wide as the range of people. (Far Right) At lunch, if there wasn ' t anything to tailt about, one could always eat. (Top) Rarely did anyone go home with any extra money, as he spent it on extras.

At the top of their class Determination is the willingness to get tilings done — that ' s what characterized this year ' s Senior Class; a deter- mination to try to do the best at what they did. This spirit of determination often resulted in achievements. Some were of a class nature, such as graduating the largest class in Blackford High School ' s history and raising the most money from magazine sales up to that time. Others were achieve- ments on an individual basis, as were Dwight Rea ' s mental attitude award and Mike Sills ' National Merit award. The class not only did much themselves but also saw much go on around them. On a national level, they wit- nessed the fiercest back-to-back winters in recent history and the election of Jimmy Carter as President. Down on th school level, the class saw their Bruin football team becom the 1974 AA state champions and the baseball team emerge as the 1977 state runner-ups. But in whatever they did, the spirit of determination pervaded. Maintaining part-time Jobs, as Dewight Rea did at A W, was a pop- ular method for sen- iors to gain needed cash. Preparation for gradu- ation was handled by Senior Class co-spon- sors Mrs. Deborah Gabbard and Mr. Jerry Shreves. M i , RODNEY ABBOTT: FFA, Wrestling. LESLIE ALLEN: BBC, BrulNformer.

And the bad times, like losing a big game, leaving your school, flunking a test, and losing a special friend and classmate John Gruver. The seniors will leave with mixed emotions — the excitement of going on to some- thing new — college, work or mar- riage — and the sadness of leaving behind the security of family and re- lationships.

Two out- standing ones were winning the State AA Football Championships in ' 74 and being Baseball State runner- up in ' 77.

Students reported to all sorts of jobs; for ex- ample, working in restaurants, gro- cery stores, factories, department stores, gas stations, or flower shops. Some went to work after school; others got out of school to go to work. Seniors really took advantage of the time-release program with at least half of the class leaving by the end of fourth hour. But jobs were not the only reason for leaving school early. Some just felt they de- served it after 12 years! Hard at work at his part-time job at Kentucky Fried Chicken Is senior Mark Armstrong.

Finding something to take up spare time usually isn ' t too difficult if you just do what you want. Besides clubs, sports, or school-re- lated activities, seniors got into snow and water skiing, bike-riding, playing musical instruments, sing- ing, skateboarding, fishing, swim- ming, sewing, reading, listening to music, or cruisin ' . Free time was spent with a large group of friends one night, then just being by your- self the next.

Webster defines creativity as us- ing imagination and originality for a new conception in an artistic em- bodinnent. ' 78 seniors showed their imagination and originality in several artistic forms. Transforming a gym- nasium into a Fantasy World for the 77 Prom and creating a prize- winning float from an old row boat for Homecoming are small examples of the class ' s creativity. They pos- sessed a group of award-winning photographers, artists, and sculp- tors. But the class ' s best display of creativity is proudly exhibited on the Jefferson Street viaduct — ' 78 SEN- IORS. Artistic talent ran high in the Class of ' 78. Hopping with pride, senior Doris Kreischer displays her prize frog. 138 Seniors TYANN McJUNKIN: Latin Club, OEA, Girls Pep Block, Science Club.

Snowstorms and the energy crisis became a serious matter this winter with school delayed and can- celled, and extra-curricular activities postponed, cancelled, or shortened. Seniors became concerned with their last year being threatened by possible cancellation of spring vaca- tion, four-day weeks, lengthened school-days, school in June, or worst of all, postponement of gradu- ation. But things did not get quite that bad. But seniors did have to compensate a little against the cold temperatures by wearing heavier clothing.

End of the beginning Commencement 1978 was traditional. A hot gymnasium was packed solid with steaming relatives and friends, who watched with mixed emotions as the school ' s largest gradu- ating class of 272 red-gowned seniors marched to the dole- ful rhythm of Pomp and Circumstance into their last ceremony at BHS enrollees. The routine continued in traditional order as a sermonette by Rev. Lowell Townsend followed the invocation, then re- flective and hopeful talks by top honor students Tammi Wentz and Susan Ellis. Next came the triumphant tassel- turning. Flash bulbs then punctuated the lengthy roll-call and awarding of diplomas. Finally, the recessional — and suddenly it was all over. Two hundred and seventy-two caps and gowns were hastily turned in, and, after four required years of preparation, their wearers emerged through the school doors to tackle a challenging though somewhat reluctant world.

Among other movies he has produced are Towering Infernal, Son of Jaws, and Keep Yourself Alive. Paul is heading his career in the direction of movies. He wants to be a director. To get further experience for his career, he is in- volved in drama. Paul first became really interested in acting after his first role in Play it Again, Sam, as As cartoonist for the BrulNformer, Paul spends much of his time with a pen in his hand. Humphrey Bogart. This year he had the lead for A Thousand Clowns, playing Murray Burns. I get a kick out of being in front of an audience, Paul explained as his reason for liking drama. Cartoons are one of Paul ' s favorite pages in a newspaper. Paul draws cartoons for the BrulN- former and also has had a cartoon strip pub- lished in the Ball State Daily News. He was also BrulNformer feature editor and was on the year- book staff. A scorekeeper for girls ' Softball last year. Paul intended to coach a 1978 team.

Who ' s he? Ah, you mean Biff. Why didn ' t you say so? Biff is also the publicity chairman for the ' 77- ' 78 prom. He said he likes organizing and leading things, and he ' s doing just that. Biff was the head of an obscure but important prom committee. It was his duty to preorder tickets for the prom, to adver- tise the event in the local newspaper, and, if possible, to collect donations for the prom. The nickname Biff came about by somehow combining Bill for William and Clif- ford, getting Bill Cliff and then Biff. He has had his nicknamed pinned to him so long Making sure Prom supplies are intact is a major concern for Biff Wilson. that it is accepted as his given name by most people. But its origin is a little unclear. Biff played varsity tennis this year and ended his season, as he put it, pretty well. He was the team ' s number-two dou- ble and on occasion played single matches. Biff ' s other positions held this year were serving as the newspaper ' s feature co-edi- tor and as assistant academic editor for the yearbook. He is also the head pinboy at Northside Lanes. Biff is there to fix the ma- chines when something goes wrong. Attending Ball State University is among Biff ' s plans. He is debating on a future in either architecture or carpentry. One of tennis buff Biff ' s trademarks is his headbands worn during matches. c T a o CD CD Juniors 155 Evening of Evergreen The biggest smile of the night was that worn by Mary Zimmerman. She was voted queen of the 1978 BHS Prom and crowned by last year ' s queen, Cheri Elliot. Mary was flanked by her court of Phoebe Zigler, Rhonda Smith, Deb- bie Sulit, and Lora Capper. The two prom chairmen, Doug Dudgeon and Tina Cook, did their best to transform the gym to the theme of Ever- green. The gym emerged the night of the prom as a won- derland forest, complete with a rustic windmill, a silver wa- terfall, and a towering mountain. The entry area simulated starry skies and a babbling brook. Gold and green dominat- ed the color scheme of the tables. Music is to the prom as cheese is to a pizza, and this year that essential ingredient was provided by Blue ' s Bird. In addition to the traditional black and white, blue and tan tuxedos were prevalent among the guys. The girls concen- trated on soft, spring pastel colors for their formals. An After-Prom was held at the armory for those still active in the small hours of the morning. The band. Axe, provided the music while the Kiwanians supplied refreshments. Late in the week before the prom, the hectic decorating pace begins to talce a heavy toli on Pam Perry and other worlcers. Sophomore servers are an invaiuabie part of the prom, as Jeff Stroup proves to Juiie Baiiey ' s and Tim Stroud ' s taste buds. Even facuity members get Into the act, as iVIr. Adams and Ms. Moore boogie down to the beat- driving music of Blue ' s Bird. 156 Prom Straightening a bow tie to perfection Is a Job which Is best left to a woman — especially In the case of Glenn Witt and Cindy Johnson. Chairman of the prom wails committee, Bryan Maddox, labors diligently to complete the final stages on his waterfall.

Being a student director is a good experience, but I want to be a lawyer, revealed Pam. Pam ' s grandfather suggested she become a lawyer. Pam decided right then that was what she was going to be. I think a drama career would be too unstable, Pam explained. Her first plans after she came to Blackford High School were to become involved In a play. She was voted best actress In a past play, The Odd Couple. Pam is a majorette for the Blackford Marching Band and also first chair clarinetist in the Concert Band this year. She has also studied piano extensively. I bang out my frustrations on the piano. It has a hard life, the student director admitted. Director Pam was worried the stage and cast members would think she was snobby or conceited. Her fears left as she became closer friends with almost all of the members. Student directing is really a good experience, Pam concluded. It gives you a feeling of responsibility. It ' s very different from any other extra-curricular activity. Pam has also been active in Speech and Debate, BrulNformer, Sci- ence Club, and BBC. An ear-to-ear smile Is on the face of Pam Bales, who has Just finished playing her clarinet solo at state contest. Determination and concentration is the name of the game for Pam, as she prepares for one of several Debate meets during the year.

Anita Cook and her assis- tant, Deanna Brown, led their classmates to raise a gross of $11,124.82. Bad weather conditions and problems stem- ming from the coal strike called for an exten- sion of the campaign. The class never quite reached its goal of $13,000. Anita and Deanna have much in common. The two are both Libras. They are both officers in FHA (Future Homemakers of America). Both Deanna, president, and Anita, vice-president, play the piano. Both are Hospital Candy Strip- ers, and both have stated an interest in a ca- reer of nursing. As Deanna put it, It ' s fun be- ing around the patients because it brightens up their day. Anita is also involved in other activities such as Science Club and girls ' softball. Besides playing the piano, she also enjoys playing the accordion. Teaching math is another occupa- tion Anita is considering. Whichever she chooses, she said, My major goal is to do good at my profession. Deanna said she ' d like to get a good start in her career, but would like to marry and adopt a child: There are lots of kids who don ' t have a home, and I ' d like to make them happy.

Margy Cimino, Misti Crull, and Robyn Richman competed as equals with boys on the tennis team. Although other girls have attempted to play in sports with males, Margy, Misti, and Ro- byn were the first to succeed. They soon found, however, that they would not play much — not because they were females, but because they were freshmen. We were treated the same as the guys, com- mented Robyn. We played as much as any other freshmen and more than some! Although the girls reported no trouble from the male team members, they did experience some harassment from other teams and specta- tors. At Mississinewa, related Misti, the peo- ple teased us during our match. Nothing nasty. They just called us Powder Puff. Not all the oppo sing teams taunted the girls; for example, at Eastbrook. They couldn ' t, quipped Margy. Their number-one player was a girl. Yet the girls were not treated exactly like the boys. They had to buy their own uniforms, and for some strange reason were given separate locker rooms. Outside of those exceptions, they had the same treatment as boys. Whether Margy ' s, Misti ' s, and Robyn ' s partici- pation will affect the attitudes of other girls is still to be seen. It would have helped if we won more match- es, noted Robyn. But some girls went out for the swimming team. And if there isn ' t a girls ' tennis team next year, we ' ll be back! 3 CD ..

Secretaries in the administration building are Joan Pierson, bookkeeper; Esther Black, payroll clerk; Carolyn Landis, secretary. After sixteen years of service to Blackford Coun- ty Schools, Mrs. Esther Black retired as secre- tary to relax with her retiring husband. 174 County Administration Since the beginning of BHS, Mr. William Payne (B.S., M.S.) has served as assistant superinten- dent for the school corporation. About energy, weather Weather and energy problems combined with curriculum reorganization to provide a year of planning for county ad- ministration officials. The weather caused many headaches to the administra- tion. Many school delays and cancellations due to fog and snow were costly in respect to money and education. Al- though the basics had already been stressed in education, a county supervisor of Language Arts, Mrs. Ruth Henderson, was appointed to make sure the basics were taught system- atically throughout the school system. The school board, significant in allowing necessary money to be spent, had provided the means to important ends. Two learning disability teachers and another nurse were hired. The corporation now spends more money per stu- dent on expendable supplies, stated Mr. Couch, comparing the Blackford system to others. Along with three new buses purchased annually, the re- pair replacement program added certain machines for new equipment. Among others, it includes typewriters for busi- ness and equipment for various departments. - ' Nf ' w repeat c ,le ' fcrm, ' h K ' ' ' i % . New pre-negotiation guidelines for the school system are introduced to the faculty by Superin- tendent William Couch (A.B., M.S.). County Administration 175 Health office worker Tammi Simmons is the re- cipient of an eye examination from school nurse Mrs. Virginia Faas, R.N. Year of problem-solving Administrators planned for the evaluation of the school by a team of educators from the North Central Association, who visited BHS in January. They checked standards that must have been met by observing classes, examining equip- ment, and talking to teachers and students. A new policy of attendance was introduced by Principal G. William Anderson to cut down on the number of absent students. The maximum number of days missed during the semester was changed from 15 to 10. Assistant Principal Noel Lewis was bombarded with phone calls as 45 teachers reported sick during teacher negotia- tions. Teachers were demonstrating their feelings about slow progress in arriving at a satisfactory contract. The position of school nurse was filled by Mrs. Virginia Faas, who replaced retiree Mrs. Phillis Erdmann. Outside of school, Athletic Director John Carbone served as executive secretary of the Central Indiana Athletic Con- ference. Dean of Boys Mr. Kenneth Ross supervised the drivers of 361 students cars in the south parking lot. Along with their other duties, Mr. Ross taught Typing I and Dean of Girls Mrs. Joanne Gibson taught Home Ec. I. Sophomores Debbie Adkins and Lisa Rice learn the advantages of having a pass, from Girls ' Dean Mrs. Joanne Gibson (B.S., M.A.). Instructions on how to place his tray on the conveyor are given Tracy Hughes by Dean of Boys Mr. Kenneth Ross (B.S., M.A.). 176 BHS Administration Starting off Teacher-ln-Service day, Principal G.

Popular-in many ways The symbol of authority for people from ages 6 to 18 is the teacher. They are told by their parents, You had better do as your teacher says. Their brothers and sisters say, Boy, I had her last year. Do I ever feel sorry for you. Their friends say, I ' m tellin ' the teacher on you! By the time they get to school, they have developed an overwhelming awe of their teachers that, in a way, stays with a student until he graduates. Teachers get it from all sides. Kids give them trouble about being too difficult, and parents complain that their kids aren ' t learning anything. Teachers, contrary to popular belief, are human beings, too. But a teacher is always on, always in the public eye. A teacher is a celebrity without any of the advantages and any of the disadvantages. But all teachers are hired to teach. A teacher seems nice, or not so nice. But that ' s not the point. The point is what one learns — and how he learns it. And if you don ' t believe us, we ' ll tell the teacher on you. Staying dry In the pool area is hard, but Mr. Brian T. Hay manages by keeping in the air and watching swim class at the same time. Faculty Informal 179 A year of striving Self-appraisal, school evaluation, curricular im- provement, and professional advancement were key goals of teachers in 1977-78. Improvement in their job situation was reflected in the final settlement of a teaching contract in Sep- tember, following months of negotiations which ended in a mediator joining the sessions to bring about improvement in salaries, dues deductions plans, and family insurance. Mr. Joe Castelo was chairman of the negotiations committee for county teachers. Job-action demonstrations were carried out by teachers to advance their cause. All teachers participated in preparing for the school ' s North Central Association evaluation in March. An extensive list of committees was neces- sary to cover all areas of the school to give the visiting committee knowledge of the school before their final appraisal. Mr. James Landis and Mrs. Ruth Henderson were co-chairmen of the steering com- mittee. MR. JOHN S. ADAMS, B.S., M.A.E.: Drawing, Painting, Ceramics, Graphics, Scuitpure, Art Survey, Indept.

One teacher seen often in the building after hours is Mr. John S. Adams. His involvement in extra- curricular activities makes him one of the most well-known faculty members. Mr. Adams believes students can learn more in activities than in the classroom, thus explaining why he is sponsor of five organizations and is assistant gymnastics coach. Mr. Adams devotes much of his time to art, which he teaches. Much of his free time is used in drawing and painting. He recently designed the state gymnastics as- sociation symbol. When not involved wth school functions, Mr. Adams is busy in the Optimist Club, in collecting an- tiques, or in advising the Ball State Beta Theta Pi fraternity. He is also a Chicago bears fan, admiring Bear gridder Walter Payton. Quincy (he ' s really not John Quincy) enjoys listening to singer Barbara Streisand or caring for his basset hound Abby. Student-wise, he admires Doug Myers for deter- mination to recover from auto ac- cident injuries. The biggest reason I enjoy teaching is that I enjoy working with kids, Mr. Adams revealed.

Santa Cheryl Dilly reverses usual procedure to sit on Mr. Jay Beaver ' s lap as she sells Christmas Wishes for charity project. Who is the teacher that seems in- volved in a little bit of everything? Why, Ms. Debi Carnefix, of course. Ms. Carnefix seems to do whatever she puts her mind to. In 1976-77, she could be heard on WERK radio week- ends as a newscaster. She has been involved in dramatics and singing in high school, college, and later. She dir- ects the spring play, loves to sing, and considers professional singing some- time for the future. This year Ms. Carnefix had her first — and last — experience in teacher negotiations. She considered it a very hard duty and a complete failure. If asked to characterize Ms. Carnefix, students might say she is a women ' s libber. Ms. Carnefix, however, does not consider herself one; she has kept her maiden name after marriage for other reasons. If you happen to see Ms. Carnefix sitting on her desk or standing on her head, don ' t be surprised. She ' s prob- ably performing her latest of many in- terest areas — yoga. 182 Faculty When school was out . . . Extra time after school was not wasted. Many teachers were involved with part-time jobs. For example, Mr. Gary Cheesman officiated at sports events and Mr. Thomas G. Hale managed teachers ' credit union book. Hobbies were varied Mrs. Judy Trees followed her two harness racing horses. Mr. Donald McAfee raised tropical fish. Ms. Rebecca Moore was a lifeguard. And Mrs. Kelsea Smith worked on a novel. Travel was not an unusual hobby among teachers, and a few traveled to diverse parts of the United States. Ms. Barbara Douglas took a cruise through the Inside Passage near Alaska and Canada, and Mrs. Mar- lene Roth studied silversmithing while living on a Navajo Reservation last summer. Many teachers got back to nature. Mr. Robert Caley and Mr. Ross Myers worked on their farms. Mr. James Landis raised earthworms for a pharmaceutical company making diet pills. Mr. Jon Sheets and Mrs. Beverly Valencic tested their luck at fishing. Mr. Dan Seymour and Mr. Brad- ley Hanner hunted. Two P.E. teachers proved their sports- manship elsewhere. Mr. Brian T.

Lending a helping hand The biggest trouble-shooters at BHS are teachers. By being trouble-shooters, they repair equipment and solve the problems of students, budgets, and program schedules. Faculty members stayed after regular hours at school to help with the education of students. With class days missed during the snow and energy crisis, much tutoring and after- school counseling were needed to teach the same amount as in previous years. Extra homework was also assigned to compensate. Budgets were readjusted due to inflation. Classes and organizations had to do without some items usually avail- able. Repairs were a major faculty concern. They ranged from the obvious of making minor equipment repairs, such as Mr. William Fread rendered, to Mr. Alan Knapp ' s car repairs. Repairs involved the mending of bug specimens in biology, by Mr. Chris Coy, to the renewing of education. Lives were made more orderly by Mr. Joe Castelo as he presided over Hartford City ' s court. Whether students knew it or not, faculty members affect- ed the lives of each. A potential professional artist, Mr. Robert Cromer was invited to Washington to discuss exhibiting his works in another nation. 184 Faculty MRS. KELSEA P. SMITH, B.A., M.A.: English I. MRS.

The secretarial staff consisted of Mrs. Virginia Vincent, principal ' s secretary and registrar; Mrs. Frances Johnson, telechord operator; Mrs. Gladys Sanders, Guidance secre- tary; Mrs. Anita McCardle, receptionist and athletic secre- tary; Mrs. Carole Jones, A-V manager; Mrs. Anna Cook, bookstore manager, and bookkeeper; Mrs. Nancy Carnes, teacher-aide; Mrs. Janet Ely, Special Ed aide; Mrs. Jackie Foust, Assistant Librarian; Mrs. Gaylene Holloway, reading aide; and Mrs. Rosalie Grove, teacher-aide and secretary. Mrs. Cook, for the first time since BHS opened its doors, sold Bruin folders with a lower-level layout of the school on back. Traveling was the major part of some of the ladies ' sum- mers. Mrs. Foust visited Florida, and Mrs. Ely visted her sister in California. Mrs. Johnson probably received the best gift of all — a new grandson. In the classroo m, Mrs. Nancy Carnes works first- hand with students as well as aiding teachers. The student is Mary Ciem. A veteran of the secretarial staff, Mrs. Gladys Sanders, helps newcomer Mrs. Rosalie Grove with her secretarial duties. Secretaries 187 Reports are now filed by new Nurse Assistant Ruth Pontius. With Mrs. Pontius ' s help, Nurse Faas ' office no longer needed students aides. Little noticed but needed strange sounds are heard and felt in every class during third hour. Finally 1 1:37 rolls around and RINGGG — signall- ing the beginning of the favorite time of day. The time which gives spice to the bland, adds color to the dull; the time that relieves all of those noises. That time is, you guessed it — LUNCHTIME. But this relief via food doesn ' t just happen. It is carefully and thoroughly prepared by the cooks and cafeteria aides. They prepared the food for most of the Blackford County schools. During the one-month energy shortage period, they used paper trays and served only one hot food item. Cooks can cure the growis, but who cures the sick? This year, with the addition of Mrs. Ruth Pontius to the Health staff, sickness was less evident, with strong, healthy stu- dents. Satisfied stomachs and healthy students were aided by a clean atmosphere. Keeping up with the sloppy habits of students were the persistent janitors. Headed by Mr. Bill Shatto, this group worKed long hours to maintain the facili- ties. The time is 7:45. Cooks, nurses, janitors, teachers, and faculty are all in their places. But an important ingredient is missing — students. The job of transporting them to and from school, is the responsibility of those drivers of the little yellow school buses. Enjoying one of the first spring days are these bus drivers: Grover Gardner, Charles Dailey, Oewayne Weatherholt, Robert Schwarzkopf, Kenneth Iclces, Glen Kilgore, Al Fisher, Delores Paver, Reda Belle Nottingham, Connie Parker, Ron Kemp. 188 Service Personnel During Sectional week the cafeteria was the site of cuiinary Bruin boosters. Cooics are (front row) Eve- iyn Wilson, Doris Ciine, Letha Runyon, Nancy Knox, and Leatha Williams; (Row 2) Wanda Nucides, Thel- ma Garrison, Fern Atldnson, and Pat Vanderbur; (Row 3) Alice Norton, Olive Gadbury, Nina McCombs, Jean Whitesell, Marjorle Knox, Delia Ya- don, and Helen Buffenbarger. Thanks to janitor Orville Bud Sims, Mrs. Be- verly Valencic ' s fish remained alive during the snow days. He later continued to feed them. Electronics Technician Dean Bryan kept the tape players, projectors, and other electronic equipment running smoothly. Sweeping floors Is only one of the jobs of a janitor. Head Custodian Bill Shatto devotes much time to paper work and maintenance. Service Personnel 189 Bruin ' is miSl ing So that ' s the year and the yearbook. But before we sign off, two things have to be mentioned. In the opening pages we said that Bruins are a unique group of people. Very special. Which is fine, except that it sounds a little haughty and egotistical. But really, ANYBODY with the right atti- tudes can qualify as a Bruin. A person who yearns and strives and DREAMS — that ' s a Bruin. You don ' t have to go to Blackford High School. Oh, and one more thing. There ' s one more quality that a Bruin has that we ' ve rather appropriately saved for last. They finish what they ' ve started. And with that in mind, we finish this book.
