Who Says That We Aren’t Beautiful? Curtain time had finally arrived for the Ms. Sweetheart Contest when screams of laughter and ear piercing wolf calls echoed through the auditorium. Thirteen young men vying for the honor of being crowned Ms. Sweetheart ’79 strolled out on stage in evening attire accompanied by their escorts. If their appearance didn’t make you split your ribs, then the talent competition and their witty remarks certainly did. Sporting stage names such as Donnella Delicious, Wilomena Wantsmore, Foxy Roxy, and Angel Lust, these guys entertained the audience by singing, dancing, reciting poetry, and participating in skits. Vincent Thomas, alias Tiny Brooks, won the honor of being crowned Ms. Sweetheart while Jeffrey Hicks was named first place runner-up. This amusing show, under the direction of Ms. Barbara Bishop and Ms. Karen Measell, was sponsored by the junior class as a fund raising activity for the junior-senior prom. TOP: This harmonizing trio, Donell Seward, Lawrence Majette, and Matthew Johnson sang “I ' m a Woman.” RIGHT: Physiques like this one made the judging even harder. Since it was only for a special show, Billy Powell didn’t object to roleplaying an unmanly guise. CENTER: Ms. Sweetheart 79, Vincent Thomas, with his rendition of “Last Dance” won the favor of the audience and the judges; however, his poise and finesse also gained points for him. FAR RIGHT: Dan Avent, another breathtaking beauty displays her girlish figure.

“A Small Step for Ninth Graders, a Giant Step for BSHS” Orientation day marked a great day of expectations for the prospective tenth graders. Upon arrival, the “new comers” ambled, danced, and shuffled to their seats waiting for the show to get on. Oh Boy! Were they in for a surprise? “Dr. P.,” the prin¬ cipal, let it be known that he nor his assistants would tolerate such actions. Little did they know, but they had just fallen ‘‘Under the Bulldog’s paw.” After the first shock sank in, the ‘‘new comers” paid close at¬ tention and warmly acknowledged the platform which consisted of student representatives from various student organizations, depart¬ ment heads, guidance coun¬ selors, and administrative per¬ sonnel. Upon receiving some insight on the functions of student organizations and clubs, the ninth graders left the audi¬ torium for the grand tour. Did these students just learn that they were supposed to give a one- minute talk? Franctically, they scribbled a few words and tried to beat the clock. 16 Orientation Day
