.luniurs Being a junior has proven to be a surprising experience. l am quite at ease as a student and really feel like I belong here at BCHS, remarks jun- ior Mike Rytel. This statement, for many, illustrates the best part of being a junior, the familiarity with the surroundings, the people, and the teachers at school which eliminates the cause of much anxiety which is suffered by sophomores. My junior year has been a time of discovering exactly what I want to do, and to some extent, what I can do, comments Jill Lehrer. Juniors are able to explore college and career choices without the pressure that is felt by seniors who must decide upon their destination in less than a year's Qme. Juniors also participate in par- ent-guidance counselor conferences to discuss post-high school and career plans. The CPP, a comprehen- sive set of tests, helps students match their interests and abilities with the career areas for which they are best suited. After I got most of my required courses out of the way as a sopho- more, I could take classes that I was really interested in as a junior, states junior Elaine Flogers. Although Health and Physical Education are the only courses required of a junior, many students choose to get one or both of their literature and social studies requirements out of the way. Classes such as PsychoI09Y, Com- puter Science, foreign languages, and music courses are all popular 2 5 E I s 5 i S E z among juniors. Some students fin that with their junior year, there ar greater ,opportunities for studying i study halls rather than loading the schedules. With all the elective courses an extracurricular activities available t them, and without the pressures sul tered by seniors and the insecuritie suffered by sophomores, many sti dents find their junior year the best.

I -.. . 5..........w.. ...-,.,... , LAW U M07 pe Ax landalism is probably a result of an appy situation in life, probably stem- g from a bad home life. Perhaps the answer is to show vandals on an ridual level exactly what they are Ig, and give them the individual ntion they are looking for in doing ct of violence. tSue Nellenl think that a kid's feeling of personal inificance contributes to his readi- a to vandalize. There's a great feel- af power associated with destroying ething, a feeling that many kids t get from other sources. I also feel the high level of affluence out here e suburbs leads to a general disres- for property, which is certainly a Jr in the vandalism problem. tJohn 0 'ounger people are getting into a trouble these days. The problem is teachers watch over the kids too W, and as a result, the kids vandalize ee if they can get away with it. ila Hinkley 'eople seem to be taking their frus- :ns out on physical objects, and I g , think it's really sad. Kids have to come up with another outlet, a replacement for destruction. It might help if these kids were given a chance to talk out their problems in discussion groups Students are taking the example which society pres- ents to them, which is one of a loss of moral values and of not caring for what others own or value. This type of attitude seeps down to youths from society, and with nothing else to base their thinking on, because of no moral values, do what society has dictated them to do - vandalize. - Mr. Carlsen such as the ones which Guidance has been setting up. Even then, I don't think kids realize the damage that they are doing until it comes out of their own ED .... it pockets, which it's not. tJenny Gawel- skil I think a lot of vandalism stems from teachers' lack of responsibility and lack of interest in the health and safety of students. Teachers stand in the hall and let students smoke in the bathrooms, and then complain about how students won't obey them. The administration makes rules which, though they were designed to punish the deviants, end up punishing those who try to be compati- ble with the system. If the school would stop making rules to control students and start enforcing the rules they've already made, life would not only be more enjoyable, there would be less vandalism as a result of mutual respect for human rights and needs. fChris Craggsl Q11 The destruction ol the school greenhouse is a pltilul but real example of the purposelessness of vandalism. 12, The delacement ofa wall in studyhall room 224 shows the frustration of some students who took it out on an inanimate object. This type of vandalism raises questions ot morality. A Problem of Morals f 181

-.luniur Class lilffiters With Junior Prom as the major pro- ect of the year, the junior class ofti- iers led an enthusiastic class through l year of intense fund-raising. Begin- ing the year with a mere 40 dollars , the class treasury, an M and M sale aised almost 700 dollars in a more ruccessful than expected fund-raiser. The juniors initiated the year with he Homecoming festivities. Organiz- pg and planning the float and deco- ating the cafeteria for the dance bquired many hours of tedious labor. 7he students showed great response, :ontributing their every effort to that accasion. Meeting at least twice a month, the afficers: Steve Wyman, Presidentg Donnie Hurley, Vice-President, Liz ittle, Secretary, Caroline Hogan, Treasurer, and the homeroom repre- fentatives planned Homecoming, Prom, Graduation, and fund raisers. The class planned an all school ski outing to Ausblick Ski Hill, but the administration interfered, objecting for the fear of trouble. After Junior Prom, all work was directed towards the seniors' gradu- ation ceremonies. Helping in several aspects of commencement, the jun- ior class officers concluded their year's work. The class members, as a whole, showed no reluctance to putting every effort into the class activities, and thus, provide great promise for their senior year. Connie Hurley concludes, As class officers, we're not here to tell people what to do. We're here to lead them so we become unified. We want to work with the students. 'N , W ij '55 . .. .
