Forensic Honors Highlight Academic Year Our cheerleaders and the Vikettes at- tended summer camp to learn new rou- tines and polish their old techniques. Both received a Spirit Stick for their pep and vitality. The Vikettes came within one point of winning the overall trophy based on spirit. Several Viking staff members attended a workship at Longwood College spon- sored by Delmar Company. As they listened to various experts they obtained tips on how to get better coverage for their yearbook. The knowledge that they received paid off in the production of this book. The Student Council Organization played a more vital role this year than ever before, headed by Anne Prince. They began working early with meetings dur- ing the summer and held a faculty lunch- eon. They came up with fresh ideas in- cluding the first Christmas Ball held December 26. They also sponsored the traditional Homecoming Dance on Oc- tober 19. Through the SCO, BA partici- pated in the Student Exchange program. Ten of our students attended Kenston Forest for the day and ten students from Mecklenburg visited our school. The main idea of this was to promote better school relations. After a refreshing summer, students returned to school on September 10, one week later than previously planned. Hec- tic days soon became routine as they got back into the swing of things. With 1 1 new teachers and a new assistant head- master, Mr. M. O. Rishel, students soon adjusted to teaching methods. Homecoming ’74 was unique in that two queens were unexpectedly chosen.

Enthusiasm was the word for BA sports in 1974-75. Attention and stress was on the importance of the audience. Pep rallies tried to fill the students with spirit, and a faithful few attended the games. For the first time in BA’s history, the softball and JV football teams brought home the pennant. Starting out with only a few faithful play- ers the baseball teams strove to bring honor to BA and joy to its fans. Its hard work resulted in close games and victories. Hopes for a championship Girls’ Varsity Basketball team fell through; they had to settle for fourth place in the Western Divi- sion. The varsity football record didn’t match the junior varsity record but gained valuable experience for next year’s session. 8 - Competition
