MAh-ha! Is that truly you?” Meliasa Guthrie discovers her long loet friend, Tracy Ellis, among her favorite fiction. Soaked from a dunking at a Student Council pool party, Tim McCoy retreats to the solace of the beach umbrella. A Hat for Every Occasion Whether we realized it or not, going to BCHS was comparable to one big drama class. With every day that we attended school, we were learning how to play our part in the midst of all of the madness. Perhaps “all the world was a stage.” At first glance our new roles seemed an impossible task to perform, but we soon had mastered our parts with all the cunning and skill that such a dif- ficult task usually required. We put on a performance when in front of our teachers and school of- ficials by acting as if we were actually civilized human beings. We tried to constantly exercise proper grammar usage when asking an English teacher a question, and when we were with a new date for the first time, we used all our charm and sophistication to im- press that special someone. We had learned to put on a different “hat” with every situation faced. Sometimes, however, in spite of our acquired acting skills, our true self showed through. We often surprised those around us when they discovered the person behind the mask. Our ap- pearance after a hard day, a lock-in, or a swim party was the best way to let the “true you” shine through. When in the company of our friends, it was great to relax — to act like the crazy people we really were. Sometimes throwing off the weight of “keeping up our image” was simply wonderful.
