Living on the Edge Student Life It seems there’s never enough time to do it all, but that’s a student’s life at BHS. Studying, working, and leisure time make up the student’s life. We do as much as we can in the time we have, living on the edge.

Even When Working, Students Find Summer a Welcome Break Swimming, getting a tan, relaxing by the pool with a cola in one hand and a good magazine in the other. These are frequent images that come to mind when thinking about summer. But was that what summer was like for BHS students? Was summer just that part of the year when there was no school? To many students, it was more, much more than that. Summer was little more than out of the classroom and off to work for stu- dents like Steve Lemon, a senior. “I never had any time off, so I had no summer,” he said. Steve had a job, played baseball and coached a girls softball team. Most of those who worked still found summer enjoyable. Senior Kelly Ryan said that he didn’t like to do too much work during the summer, but even when he did it was still nice just to get away from school. But back to the main question. Of course there were those who saw summer as nothing more than one long break from the routines of school work. “Summer meant you didn’t have to raise your hand,” said junior Gary Green. For Green, as for others, sum- mer was a time to get away from the restrictions of school. Junior Carrie Babcock agreed. “Summer meant I got a break from school. I met different people and didn’t have to be stuck with the same dull routine of school.” Summer ends too soon for many students. Adam Riddle, a junior, cools off at the foun- tain during August football drills. Two-a-day practices begin during the heat of the sum- mer and frequent water breaks are nec- essary. Shane Thallas, a junior, finds the heat a bit more bearable on his side of the fence as he takes a break from swimming at the Blair pool to talk to seniors Matt Wolff and Justin Flynn. Other than the Missouri River, the city’s swimming pool provides the only pub- lic swimming in the area. Summer - 9
