“No More Words” The Monogram Club and the Jour¬ nalism class produced almost the same thing from different angles. The Mono¬ gram Club admitted athletes who had lettered in a sport while the Journal¬ ism class produced members that wrote many words. To help raise money this year the Monogram Club did two things. The first was sell cookies. Remember the little tin boxes of cookies? Their sec¬ ond project brought them much more success: the raffle to help with the pur¬ chase of the coveted Monogram jack¬ ets. The money came in handy as the winners used it to help with Christmas presents. The Journalism class worked all year. They began by selling ads the first week of school. The yearbook signing party came next on Friday afternoon, after Ghandi, during Home¬ coming Week. Photography problems caused many headaches for the year¬ book staff, but as the weather broke in the spring and Mrs. Gordon returned from her illness, things were looking better. The final project of the writing crew was the raffle which went over well. As the final bell rang, a familiar phrase rang out from the Journalism ' The Journalism Staff: (L-R) Tracey Kidd, Yvette Jones, Kevin Whitby, Glenn Starke, Mar¬ tha Stith, Avi Ruffin, Sylvia Alexander, Waddell Lucas, Maggie Williams, Tim Games, Pam John¬ son, Timmi Toler, and Jennifer White.

“I Write The Songs” The magic of the arts showed itself at BSHS this year in the Drama Club. In November they put on a play called The Wonder Hat and received a Certi¬ ficate of Appreciation for their partic- pation in the District Drama Festival. Some members of the Drama Club also participated in the prestigious Vir¬ ginia High School Dance company at Nottoway and placed 3rd out of twelve schools. Mrs. Ruby Short, Drama Club Spon¬ sor, would retire at the end of the ’84 school year, creating a vacumn that any new drama coach will find difficult to fill. In the past few yeras alone she has led the club to several victories around the state. The Drama Club created several un¬ forgettable charters and scenes for us this year. And though not everything that was performed contained music, in effort, they did ‘‘Write The Songs.” Allison Fletcher sits perfectly still as Mrs. Ruby Short applies make-up for the play The Wonder Hat; performed at Nottoway in March.
