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

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
