This is the final year at BHS for the class of '70. The past four years have been filled with many memories, both happy and sad. The only advice we give to you who remain is to stick with it and stay in school. We all know that at times it doesn't seem worth it but when you get that little piece of paper that says you are a graduate of BHS, that's when you realize that it is worth it all. But just because we have graduated doesn't mean we have finished our education; in fact, our education has only begun. 25 Capricorns Dec. 22 To Jan. 19 C DIANA CAPMAN MIKE CRANSON DAVE DEMERRIT SUSAN ELLIS TED GREGG BOB KOLASSA CAROL LARABEE DIANE MACKE KAREN McGIFFEN BUFF MITCHELL Aquarius 27 Jan. 20 To Feb. 18 BO BERGQVIST MARY BOTZNER KAXHY GRUBER RICK HOOKER ALICE HULL KATHY HYSKA STEVE IVASKA EVELYN LUDWICK JAN MEYER SHIRLEY PLASTER DOROTHY BORGERT - Teen Fashion Board.
