FHBULTY Our administration and faculty play a very important part in our lives at BHS. They are the people who keep our school running in a smooth, orderly manner. With- out this cheerful, efficient staff, BHS would fall apart. Therefore, how can we help but include these wonderful leaders and organizers among our shadows? The patient, helpful teacher, the sincere, kind principal, the secretary in the office, the understanding nurse, and the busy jani- tor all are a part of our memories of BHS. These people have not only guided us toward the right path to suc- cess but have also become our friends. When we look back to the shadows of our BHS life, it will be very hard for us to forget these people who made that life possible.
