ot Blodensburg Happy shouts of Hooray, it's Friday, boldly penciled hearts telling that Stevie loves Roy and AXVH plus jTH and ominous quiet warnings were familiar to Bladensburg's bus drivers this year. But, despite these occupational hazards, BHS bus drivers braved sparkling spotlights, fog. sleet, rain. wind, flat tires and traffic, and ended the year with a perfect safety record. Eighteen custodial workers, headed by Mr. William Robertson, kept Bladensburg sparkling throughout the year. Aided by 70 gallons of wax, hundreds of dust cloths and 15 half a hall wide brooms, the custodial staff waxed floors, fixed broken desks and lockers, set up chairs for assemblies, dances and special programs and kept a check on the 1600 fluorescent lights on each floor in the building. ,avxlfx OFF TO SCHOOL WE GO-The responsibility of bringing BHS students to school is taken care of by CBOTTOM ROW!
