BHS Evaluates Its Administration Although the week of the evaluation visit did not ar- rive until April, months before, the administration began its preparations for this important e vent. Each teacher de- voted much time to the classes and clubs he sponsored, carefully weighing the good and bad points of each. Keep- ing these in mind, he then tackled the formidable job of compiling evaluation reports. Each Monday the library was the scene of a faculty meeting, at which the unending prob- lems of the many aspects of the program arose. Here, un- der the guidance of Mr. Thweatt, the principal, these dif- ficulties were met and overcome. Besides working among themselves, the teachers also contributed generously of their time to help the students ready themselves for evaluation. Despite the many de- mands made on the teachers’ valuable time for organiz- ing programs and presenting slides about the school and community, they were always ready to help the students with their part. When the long awaited week finally arrived, BHS pre- sented the result of her diligent preparations: the product made possible only by the dedication of our administra- tion.

4—Dedication MRS. ANNA D. WEATHERFORD Dedication Varied are the remarks of students leaving Room 1: “What about the extra problem “— | didn’t finish.”—What a test!’ But inside that room one finds a dedicated and conscientious math teacher who takes these and other chid- ings good-naturedly. The work she assigns often seems unduly hard, but we realize the value of her rigid preparation when we hear college math students return to praise her for the excellent background they received at BHS. This busy math teacher, as an active sponsor of the Tri-Hi-Y, strives incessantly to instill the basic goals of her club in its members. She serves as a lively and amiable sponsor and chaperone to the Model General Assembly delega tion each year. Stressing character, leadership, scholarship, and service, she works faithfully to make the National Honor Society an active as well as an honorary organization in our school. For these reasons and also because of her loyal interest in the students, their problems and en- deavors, we dedicate with pride the 1966 Ivy to our teacher and friend, Mrs. Anna D. Weatherford. a
