A WORD FROM THE PRINCIPAL As you look at your yearbook in future years, you will be catching a glimpse of a very special time in your lives. Those years will have provided you with experiences that have helped to make you what you are today. Your yearbook staff has made certain that those memories live long after high school in both picture and word. This particular year has been an interesting one. All of us have been adjusting to our new, beautiful school building, after a year of unbelievable construction turmoil last year. We have enjoyed and appreciated our facilities; and with the arrival of the rest of our furniture and equipment, we will find new and better ways to utilize what we have. This has been a good year overall. We have been successful in athletics. Our fine arts program is emerging on new horizons. Our school continues to maintain its solid reputation in Washington County and throughout the surrounding area. People continue to move to our area so that their sons and daughters may attend our school. We have much to feel good about. Anything that is worthwhile does not just happen. It takes planning, commitment, and dedication. We have been blessed with people both in this school and in our community who have given of themselves to make our school what it is. As you read over your yearbook I hope you will be saying, as I am sure I will, It was good to have been a part of it. 3

Another four years have gone by again, but they aren't just any four years; they are my four years of high school. As many people at BHS know, I have been very pleased to be able to attend Boonsboro High School. I've learned a lot in these past four years. I've learned that there are so many wonderful opportunities open to anyone if one will only strive for them. The opportunities are everywhere; just be sure to look for them. I've also learned that there are people, particularly in our school, who are willing to help you find and take advantage of the opportunities, because the people at BHS CARE. They are interested in others. This one factor makes our school what it is today. Caring keeps everyone together and will keep the school together as long as it continues. I have tried to care enough to keep this yearbook together. Hopefully, I have succeeded. After months of hard work done by the Chieftain staff, I believe we have given the school a book full of memories that students of BHS will cherish forever. None of this could have been accomplished, however, without the help of Mr. and Mrs. Myerly, Shauna and Katie, Larry Allen, the Chieftain staff, Mr. Lewis, and all of my friends who have helped me when I needed them. I will never be able to thank them all enough for being patient and putting up with me and caring enough to be there when I needed them. 2
