4 ------------ STUDENT-H-FE Last January curiosity was stirred when the title of the 83-84 yearbook was announced during annual sales. Everyone was wondering what the yearbooks could be like. Now, after looking at the cover, wonder still probably floods the minds of readers. Finally to explain these questions, is the theme: concert (kon sert) n. a musical perfor- mance, harmony, (kan sert) v. agreement in ef- fort, purpose, or feeling; to act or plan together. As one can see, there is a double meaning within the title. Not only is there musicality throughout its pages, but also the concept of togetherness. A typical day in the life of a BHS student usually began with the horrifying buzz of the dreaded alarm clock. One would wearily and re- luctantly drag out of bed and advance toward the long day that lay ahead. Most can remember when Mr. Sandman prevailed and they awoke an hour late and ended updoing 70 mph on Main St. with a piece of bacon dangling from their mouth. There were a few “concerted efforts to be seen before school: such as Buffalo Gals hittin’ the streets at 7:30 before a big parade and the sports team dribbling, tackling or serving at the crack of dawn. Friends talking with friends, teachers and students congregated socially, were familiar scenes before school on the Bison campus There was an excitement in the air before the first bell. Maybe the excitement was over a new guy or girl, or maybe over an exam, or perhaps, simply hav- ing a good time with the old buddies. In any case, there was spirit and fellowship before school. The parking lot was always jammed with cars and the school drive with buses. Out of those ears and buses came a variety of attitudes. Some w ere tired and cranky, others were pepped up and ready to go. Caprice Schmied lazily reached for the alarm clock. Susan Cotter, how did you manage to eat breakfast, drive to school, curl your hair and put on make-up? 2
