People Working Together Journalism Wins Public’s Eye People working together get the job done. In Journalism staff worked hard putting together the yearbook. At the beginning of the year the staff hustled to raise money to finance the pro¬ duction of the yearbook. Class members sold over $1,500 in ads, which was only a fraction of the final cost. Staffers also sold hats and rib¬ bons to help cut the $10,000 price tag. By rais¬ ing this money the price of each book came to $20. That allowed the yearbook to contain senior color portraits, exciting school events, and at least one picture of everyone. This school year the class managed to publish a newspaper, Bulldog Beat , that pro¬ vided up-to-date pictures and hot news articles. The Journalism class and club not only worked toward the sales of yearbooks but also captured the attention of most of the students by sponsoring a spirit rally and a Journalism dance. Although the Journalism staff didn’t receive much recognition for accomplishments, we en¬ joyed being the staff that created the book you are now looking through. On the one-day sale of yearbooks, Jessie Stith, Journalism Club president, was called out of fourth bell to help Mrs. Gordon sell the first yearbook to Chanel Wesson. Sylvia Alexander, supposedly making a Journalism run, stops to gossip a moment with Todd Trent and Marilyn Walton. 24 Clubs Journalism

Alvin Davis and Ben Pritchett make sure they build a firm foundation as they put up another wall. Andre Boyd jigsaws his way through a piece of plywood for a doghouse. Vica Measures Up Building A Future Sean Stith nails like it’s the real thing, the VICA con¬ test, as he frames in a window during morning trade. He placed third in Disrict. Clarence Moore sticks to the job as he puts one more brick in the wall only days before the VICA contest. Ten students participated in the 1984-85 District XII Skills Contest. Three students who volunteered, participated in the Drafting Contest in Chesterfield at the Drafting Center. Mapping out a floor plan of a sketched house took more time and effort than each contestant thought. The two most consistent students in Auto Mechanics were chosen to compete in Colonial Heights against other students from District XII. The students had learned their lessons and were tuned up and ready to figure out what was wrong with the car in the contest. Two students competed in the carpentry con¬ test at Pittman Vocational Center. They realized that finding a job may not be easy. There would be many talented carpenters out there. Two students were chosen to compete at Pitt¬ man Vocational Center in the Masonry competi¬ tion also. When pushed to the wall, the reps from BSHS layed some bricks. One student from Metal Shop competed in District XII Skills Contest also. He competed in the Machine Shop conest held at Rowanty. All the class work melted down to a lot of talent and finely machined skills. VICA Clubs — 23
