Appearances Change In and Out of the Classrooms Sandy Cash seems puzzled by a new face taking over her Biology Class. Mr. John Teeter assumed teaching duties for Mrs. Susan Killingsworth in early January. Mr. Teeter is a recent graduate of Bridgewater College where he received his Bachelor of Science degree. He also did his student teaching at Buffalo Gap so his adjustment to teaching here was not a difficult one. Students could no longer complain that they didn’t know about school happenings be¬ cause of the information center installed in the front lobby. The center was donated by the 1976-77 SCA. The center is made up of two black groved plaques with metal trim, which are covered by glass doors. Ball game schedules, important dates, personal recog¬ nition and a calendar of upcoming events are posted for the students’ information. Cheerleaders voice their enthusiam for their new uniforms. The squad purchased new sweaters in early Feb¬ ruary. The sweaters were later mono- grammed with letters BGHS. During basketball season and tournament games the cheerleaders received many compliments on their new “look.” INTRODUCTION 3
