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

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
