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.

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.
