The Classes What was it like - 1974? Around us and penetrating our consciousness were serious world problems: Watergate hearings, the Arab oil embargo and its resulting gas shortage, high food prices, and the Hearst kidnapping. Streaking was the current college fad (we even knew a few participants). But within the confines of BHS, it was business as usual. We plugged along each day from 8 to 2:30, enduring classes and waiting anxiously for lunch and breaks. Some of us actually studied, espe- cially at exam time. Mark Hopkins found a quiet spot on the back stairs. Paula Cook and Lynn Anderson exchanged ideas over a math lab desl . Lunch time released a few inhibitions. Edward McNeil demon- strated the old straw-in-the-mouth caper, while serious diners Alice McNeal and Minnie Anderson attacked the Monday lunchroom fare - burgers 'n beans.

The Class of '74 This is not the end It is not even the beginning Of the end It is rather the end of the beginning. Winston Churchill Will we recall the carefree days of high school life or the good times of shared laughter that came from the togetherness of our class? Around the comer of the unknown days of tomorrow lie our futures. Most of us will take advantage of the knowledge and experience we have obtained from BHS. We can't depend on the memories of our past days to lead us through our futures, but we can depend on them to make us nappy. It is now in our hands which direction we will take. Will we further our education? Will we continue upward on the ladder of life? It is up to each of us. Hopefully these snapshots will spark a fond remembrance. (1) If only the Air Force knew what they were getting! (2) Head Coach Jordan . . . well . . . maybe assistant . . . ? (3) The sixth-period hall streakers take a break. (4) Carla is moonlighting in the Christmas card business. (5) Wow! Who's that chick? 27
