We wanted nice calm pictures of every teach- er as they taught class. It wasn ' t easy. Every- body is a glory hog. w r ' I r This picture isn ' t unusual until you try to de- cide just what Amy Sills, Pam Bales, and Ba- bette Spain are up to. We suspect Babette can ' t read and Pam looks a little dangerous with that brush. Karen Strine and friends have their ups and downs at a skating party. If Karen is going to fall she wants company. BHS never really dull Throughout the year many BHS students did such unusual things that no page in the yearbook could contain them; maybe in Mad Maga- zine, but not in the yearbook. These two pages are for those people. School is often boring, but never really dull. Students are in an end- less pursuit of activities to rid them- selves of the daily routine doldrums. Strange expressions and actions can be seen everyday, whether it be at a school skating party, in the publica- tions department, on the baseball field, in the art department, in the drama department, or at a class par- ty. Embarrassing and crazy moments happen all the time. Luckily a cam- era was on the scene to capture some of these special events. Outlaws 71

No it ' s not nap time! It ' s freshmen girls learn- ing to do their breathing exercises for a better sound in the Glee Club. Their first year here! Remember your first day of high school? You finally made it to where you got to do all of those things oth- er than studying from books. The world would be bigger and more ex- citing and you would get to do more stuff But it was so big and you didn ' t know your way around very well. The upper classes weren ' t very friendly and many of the teachers were impatient with your dumb mis- takes. Life was a bit more than you knew how to handle. Then after a while things actually did get better. All of the clubs and sports got underway and you felt like you really were a part of the school where you would be spending the rest of your high school career. Eventually you even knew just when to cheer at the pep sessions and you began to feel that the spirit stick should be yours. For the first time the Bruins seemed a part of you, instead of the representatives of the community. Just about then, when you knew your way around and had managed to get a seat beside your friends in all of your classes. Just when the cute one in third period started to pay attention to you. Just then, it was over. It went so fast that all of the new things were old hat before you even got so you could remember your locker combination. Now you are the establishment and all of the little people are starting where you started not very long ago.
