Eagle Strives For New Image Meeting deadlines, changing to a larger paper size, and using a new plate increased the list of accomplishments of the Eagle news staff. With the help of Mrs. Brenda Friedman, the EAGLE reporters did a good job with coverage of difficult subjects. In March, the EAGLE staff sponsored a St. Patrick’s Day dance to help replenish their funds. The traditional Christmas greet- ings also helped with finances and were printed in the shape of a Christ- mas tree. The January graduates com- posed their wills in time for the Janu- ary issue of the EAGLE just before they left BCHS forever. The other sen- iors waited for a bigger and better EAGLE issue where their last wills and testimonies were sacredly printed. Sport’s Editor. Mark Gillespie, was elected Student President of Indiana High School Press Association in Octo- ber. His main job involved helping plan the Press Association Convention during Teachers’ Institute.

Marching Band Still A Reality The High School Band again came to school during the summer to practice marching techniques for the Martins- ville Fall Foliage Parade. After the dis- pute with the school board on whether BC should be a marching or concert band, the Marching Eagles success- fully performed at four football games which were played at the other schools. Under the direction of Mr. John Dyke a traditional Christmas concert was given to celebrate the season. Several popular songs including Beatles’ and Carpenters’ hits were played for the student body in March. Later on that evening, the pops concert was per- formed for friends and relations of band members. All of the BCHS bands got together for a late April Festival and the high school band was again honored to play at Commencement. With the help of a new name, added grade involvement, and auditions for everyone, the Brass Eagles received many compliments for a much better sounding group. They started to become a more selective group” as director John Dyke said. The 34 mem- bers enjoyed playing popular tunes at all the varsity boys basketball games. They also bought blue and gold Brass Eagle T-shirts to look more uniform. Brass Eagle members, Dorothy Smith. Susan Keeker, Caroline Crouch. Ernie Frye, and David Brown, perform for anyone who will listen before the Christmas vacation. HIGH SCHOOL BAND: row 1—Robin Bunge, Nancy Taylor. Secretary-Treasurer Linda Kylander, Jenny Bryan.
