Mr. Dale Baird Principal Baird Thompson Mr. Tenus Thompson Vice Principal Assistant Athletic Director Mr. Gerald Burke Vice Principal Athletic Director Musically inclined, Mr. Baird attentively plays the proces¬ sional for the mock wedding in the Family, Marriage and Child course. Three Kings Principals Reign with Velvet Glove Mr Thompson proves he’s worth his weight in gold, as he relaxes with a smile and seniors Melinda Hardy and Tony Ruffin. With anticipation glowing on his face, Mr. Burke directs his team to a close victory on the basketball court. Mr. Baird, Mr. Thompson, and Mr. Burke could easily be found everyday. They led the school and helped make the rules. The three kings of our school ruled not with an iron hand but with a velvet glove. They easily gained respect by treating all students as equal during school hours and afterwords. Mr. Baird, known as a man of many talents, could not only play a piano, but according to SCA president Martha Stith, could also tell a joke! He supported all sports and showed just as much’school spirit as the fans. Mr. Thompson, known as Coach Thompson, formerly supervised the Summer League Baseball Games. Not only did he give pointers to baseball players, but during break, he always had students crowding him for change. Mr. Burke, one of the Varsity Basketball coaches, inspired the players. He gave each of the players equal playing time and always had time when a player needed help. Each of the principals enforced the rules and regulations fairly. They looked at both sides of problems. The reign of our three kings would last a long time. They ruled with a velvet glove and a heart of gold.. Administration — 5

FACULTYREIGNFACULTYREIGNFACt The Journalism staff realized that half the fun of getting our yearbook was flip¬ ping to the Faculty section and giving some lucky teacher a “face-lift.” Well, regardless of how some of us felt about faculty they were there, and let’s “face” it, without them we wouldn’t have had an education (and who knows what they would have done without us!). So we both put forth an effort to sur¬ vive another school year, and somewhere between the beginning and the end we discovered that we’re all Bulldogs and part of “Blue Reign.” We even found out that regardless a popularly held belief, the majority of us were human too! Mr. Reekes, William Rivers, and Michelle Trotter announce the winner of the Breakdancing contest. Mr. Leemon ' s breakdancing is definitely worth living to see as students behind die laughing.

Blackstone Florez What’s New? The Faces of BSHS This was the year for new teachers at Brunswick Senior High. The students have real¬ ly enjoyed having the new teachers here. We liked watching the new teachers on the first day of school to see how they reacted to certain situations, such as a student not knowing where his class was and walking in about 20 minutes late. Unlike the regular teachers, the new teachers had it hard their first year. They had to show up a day earlier than the regular teachers did, and also had to stay after school every evening for about a week. The new teachers had to start from the very be ginning. They had to make up new plans, new tests, new bulletins, etc. Their duties extended far beyond the classroom though. We saw them working at games taking up tickets. They also helped with dances, making sure everything stayed under control. Teachers really went the extra mile for students, and hopefully one day we will realize that. Miss Florez enjoys the privacy of her office as she works on a homeroom register. As Mr. Wright reviews the conjugation of irregular verbs, Monique Willis and Tamika Baxter prepare to display their examples on the board.
