Frantically, Retro Meets Its Deadline • It’s eight o’clock and Annie says Produce!” With the dreams and aspira¬ tions of a Don Quijote, the 1972- 73 Retrospect conquered wind¬ mills of their own in producing a yearbook of interest and inno¬ vation. Adopting a theme of “Expres¬ sions” the Retro staff enlarged the book by eight pages in order to experiment with new techni¬ ques. Among the innovations were copy blocks and special picture effects in the School Life section. Facing a series of deadlines, Retro members spent many Tuesdays cropping, bleeding and writing. Coupling frustration with a comedy of errors, the staff met each one. American representative Mr. Arthur joins staff editors Doug, Annie and Chuck in a session. 16

The Comet Staff Tells It Like It Is Ten students composed the 1972-73 Comet staff, collecting news for the bi-monthly paper distributed to BHS students free of charge. Everyone took his turn at the role of editor throughout the year, with the special sec¬ tional issue headed by Boyd Pen- rod and the senior issue by Ed Menso. The staff policy was to express student opinion, yet re¬ spect the administration’s re¬ sponsibility to the community. Comet staff also read hun¬ dreds of student writings, com¬ piling the most outstanding in a literary magazine entitled “Ex¬ pressions.” Top editors of the publication were Elaine Johnson, Gale Brickley and Annie Matzen.
