Mr. Walter J. Srahura Principal B.S., M.Ed. B H S Administrators MR WILBUR'S MESSAGE TO THE YEARBOOK: many occasions many years from now you will open this book and recall past events from past years. To quote a phrase from Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities: lt was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness . . . Just how useful and purposeful your learning has been in the past will only be revealed by your performances in the future. PRlNClPAL'S MESSAGE The title of Henryk Sienkiewic's book Quo Vadis bids us pause. Where am l going? What do l desire from life? How will l achieve it? Just who am I? The procrastination of youth in the formative years of school only postpones for them the ultimate answers to these important queries. The experience of life in all its facets-the quest for knowledge, the desire to excel, the development of funda- mental character and faith as well as of body, the honest curiosity in things about us hastens the time of life's ful- fillment and the happiness which consequently accrues. lt behooves us, therefore, to begin to shape our lives as early as possible, even now, and to direct ourselves to- ward our goals. No substitute as yet has been found for the accumulation of knowledge as a basis upon which to think and act. From the well of reading, study, and re- flective thought come the riches of self discovery and life's offerings. Mr. Clifford Wilbur Asst. Principal B.S. 9

Superintendent's Message A modern skyscraper must rest securely on all four corners. Huge blocks of stone and concrete are set deep in the ground beneath the structure. All this must be done before the building is erected, and must be a part of the plan. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to strengthen the foundations afterward. All during your high school days you are laying the corner stones for your lives. Whether you realize it or not, the foundation upon which your life structure is to rest, is being built. Each habit is a foundation stone, and by constant repetition you cement them into place. Upon these habits you build your lives like the walls ofa building, You cannot build a wall where there is no foundation. Mr. Clayton Campbell Assistant Superintendent's Message My sincerest congratulations to the members of the class of l965. You have now successfully completed twelve years of education and a milestone in your lives has been reached. However, a high school graduation does not signify the end of your educational life for education is an integral part of life itself. On a formal or informal basis, it will continue throughout your life. lt is our hope that during the time you have been with us that we have given you a solid educational foundation and provided you with a basis for continuing your education in the future. lt has been our privilege to have had the oppor- tunity to work with you during the past years. We hope you will return and visit us in the years to come. 8 OP and Tops Mr. Roland Brown

As a result of their hard work, many seniors will be happier in college next year, and the under- classmen will not be as bewildered in their search of new studies.
