This year is different As wc, the graduating class of nineteen hundred and seventy-six, look back on our years at B.C.S., we remember many names, many places, and many faces. Often wc realize with regret, we’ve taken the presence of some tilings for granted. l?or this reason, the senior class proudly dedicates this special Bicentennial Scsqui-centennial edition of the Gusher to the school we arc also dedicating it to those people and inanimate things associated with the school. We hope this yearbook reflects our feelings for B.C.S. Wc’U always remember and miss this school and our great experiences here. ar GENESEE CLARKSVILLE ■ N.Y. 3 � oliuar (Trntral §rliool SSoaril ot Induration 1975-197B Super uisiuci Persuuuel Mr. George Kuhn Principal Mrs. Freda Pytcher Elementary Supervisor Mr. Gilbert Brinnier Vice Principal Guidance Counselor 7 iEngUstj §eeks Neui portions . . . 0 Mr. David Stanton, Mrs. Betty Cornelius, Mr. Robert Crowley i ealtli Mr. Robert Duns more Mrs. Phyllis Smith tL'antutacies Mrs. Mary Bernstein Miss Nancy Lindquist COMPLIMENTS OF GRANT CITY FOX AND STEVENS West State Street Olean’s Favorite Jewelers g Olean, New York Olean, New York fti is tor it—Past, Present, future .

We realize we are finishing our years at B.C.S., but more importantly, we are just beginning our lives. We have had many memories which will be cherished for the rest of our lives; from selling Christmas cards to selling two billion bags of popcorn at the concession stand, from crowding in the lunch line to skipping classes, from painting the tank to working on the endless number of floats, from parties to parties to parties, and from the Washington trip to our graduation. We lived and learned, and will always remember. The Class of 1976 would also like to thank Mr. Edward Forrest and Mrs. Polly Booth, our advisors, for diligently helping us in our four years of high school.

In recounting the events of that campaign, it is only appropriate to mention the people who guided and composed the kind of team Bolivar is known for. At the helm was Coach Dunsmore, a dedicated man who instilled a championship spirit into the minds and bodies of his men. As for the players themselves--each possessed his own qualities of greatness, those characteristics of personal pride and ability which makes It possible for someone to say, He's a real Bulldog man.

Newspapers and school life have similar structures. School life starts out with the Comics-life simple, stories short, only happiness the theme. The Junior High years center around local news; becoming aware of a larger environment, listening and learning from peer groups. At the High School level the total paper is read, not completely but enough to give the reader some knowledge so that the student is able to cope, understand, and to make choices. Sports are read to educate the body, World News to inform and to educate the mind, and last the Classified Ads are read to find the bargains, the expectations, the dreams, the hope for a better tomorrow.

The flowers, beads, love-ins, the moratoriums, acid rock, even some of the long hair has passed. We the students are calmer and more relaxed. We are much easier to talk to. We think things out and are looking for our way, and we will be looking at the future for answers to these problems: Will inflation be replaced with depression or prosperity? Will the world become an arena of starvation and famine? Will prejudice and hostility be replaced with peace of mind? Will people return to God? Will sexual freedom be replaced with love your fellow man freedom? Will Cancer be cured? Will gas ever be 55 cents a gallon again? Will we have a woman president? Will Bolivar and Richburg schools ever operate as one? Will anyone ever go 70 m.p.h. over the new bridge? The classified Ads will hold many answers, and will answer many questions. The teachers of Bolivar hope to follow your progress in the paper: Graduation. Marriage, Birth, Promotions, College, Job, Fame, and Glory. All have started out with the same newspaper, how it unfolds depends on you. Best of luck to you and may you always be on the front page of success. Carl Case Editor Honey trailers.

Jk ' ,, y 1 he idea of the original thirteen colonies and their leaders was born out of a passion to be free—to chart their own destiny of building a country out of this thin fabric called Freedom. The break from England was not to come easily, as this fledgling was viewed as a serious threat to the tentacles of the vast and far-flung British Empire. • v r , J • Vl Vi r (i A XT atriots rose from every corner of the struggling country. Help came from other European countries to add to the flame of breaking the grip of England. Farmers, fishermen, cobblers and men from every walk of life took up their arms to defend this new-felt right to be free. As the smoke began to clear, ideas on organizing this diversity of colonies into a coalition of united states began to take shape. The form of a Constitution and Bill of Rights was molded by statesmen who previously were nonexistent. , s the word spread in other parts of the world of this new country, with its vast domain and resources, thousands of immigrants poured in to start a new life. With the added growth of population, new frontiers were needed. This stretching brought new conflicts with foreign powers who previously had laid claim to parts of the interior. A s the gangling country continued to grow, internal disagreement erupted into a battle of economic and philosophical differences. The battle was to leave scars which would heal only after generations had passed. Out of the wounds came a stronger fiber of freedom for the individual man. The country had survived as a unit and now its energies would be put to work in rebuilding the founding fathers' ideals. nr JL he need for new frontiers continued as movement spread West. A rapid explosion of technological advances pointed the country into the fore as an industrialized nation. s one of the leading industrial nations, this strapping, growing giant became embroiled in the first of the World Wars. After its success with other Allied Nations, a never-before-felt boom and prosperity was followed with the shattering bust of the Great Depression. New leaders were sought to pull the Country out of its fall, while on the horizon new storm clouds were building across the oceans. ar V A li second World War was fought to pro- tect the cause of freedom, as the now grown giant emerged to take its place as the leader °f the Free World. This new role has brought with it—many challenges—many successes— 'JFj some failures . . . and through it all a spirit for nations to envy—a burning passion that all men may one day be free . . .
