A Rainy Graduation — the highlight of a high school students’ career. After many long hours in English and Math classes, sports club activities, and sometimes in ISS, the 1 BB6 senior class gradu¬ ated from BHS on Saturday, June 7. Parents, relatives, teachers, and students at¬ tended the service, which was held inside. Approximately 1 300 people crowded into the gym¬ nasium to witness the cere¬ mony. At first, the ceremony was planned for outside on the foot¬ ball field, but because of a rainy forecast it was moved inside. Although the capacity of the gymnasium was less than that of the football field, it was fortu¬ nate that it was conducted in¬ side. Near the end of the cere- Farewell mony, it began to rain. Due to expectations of a large crowd, accommodations were prepared for the overflow. Classrooms near the gym were opened for the others to view the ceremony on televisions. This arrangement allowed more people to see the ceremony by providing an alternative for those who could not find a seat in the gym. Three students held the top honor with a remarkable •4.0 GPA. Pam Branner, Nick Sher¬ man and David Switzer were valedictorians Becky Brawley was named Salutatorian. Pam Branner and David Switzer were chosen to speak and Miss Moore, the choral director, sang for the audience. 16 Graduation The Senior chorus sings their last song at BHS members volunteered for parti¬ cipation in the group. Seniors stand for the presenting of diplomas: Tina Brady, Mark Boyers, Tina Bowman, and Danny Borg wait patiently.

Good Morning America’ from Broadway Increasing the range of experi¬ ence is one of Jan Massey’s top goals for her students. Recently this group of young people had the opportunity to appear on television this past Sept. 8. Dealing with current affairs is an important issue among their classes. So, Jan Massey thought of writing a letter to “Good Morning America” ex¬ plaining how her classes were very much into current affairs and would like to appear on the program. Most of the students’ reac¬ tions showed they didn’t really expect to get a response, but just the thought of being on television was enough to boast about to their friends. Here Jan Massey’s class is working on a play for Valentine’s Day. James Showalter and Roger Falls who aren’t pictured here, admitted that being on television was great fun! It was a good experience. I was a little embarrassed though, my preacher told our entire church, ” commented Penny Ritchie. “I thought it was sort of funny! The first thought I had was; yeah, we’re gonna put Runions Creek on the map,” laughed Barbara Lineweaver. 1 0 “Good Morning America
