The school year l968-69 was a special one for BHS. lt marked the golden anniversaries for both the Homecoming festivities and the Pathfinder pub- lication. A new assistant principal was groomed for life among the stu- dents of BHS and was accompanied by a host of young faculty members beginning their teaching career. As the last year in the old building. '68-'69 recalls many memories which pieced together constitute the whole of BHS. As in years before. this es- tablishment was reserved as the center of activities for many teenagers. The organizations, activities. and classes conducted in BHS will be left to rest for one summer, and when school begins anew next year. those who remain behind to carry out the duties of a proud and ambitious student body will nostalgically remember the various aspects of life within BHS. This is the Grayhound Daily with the morning announcements. .. ....the famous words of Miss Dorothy Powell as she proclaimes. Stu- dents we're not talking. are we? ...Homecoming night. and a saddened team is respected for the hard fought battle against an overpowering Bettendorf squad... ...the gumpoppingbookslamming sound of studyhall as it begins... ...the smoke penetrated walls and greasy hamburgers of Gibby's... ...the well constructed sentences that appear on the wood doors of the restrooms... ...the familiar May I have your attention please? from Mr. Loren Rate- kin... ...the whining tires interrupting classes on the Valley Street side... ...averted faces in vain attempts to conceal newly sprouted beards. mus- taches. and sideburns from the faculty and administration. ...The never forgotten words of Mr. Robert Asmus as he cries. Hum- phrey should have got it!... ...the tangible silence of after school detention hour... 1 ...uplifted faces. glancing at the art composition in the Northeast Gallery... ...the ecstatic look of success on the faces of those who have won an elec- tion... ...the anxious looks of seniors who plod down the hill to their commence- ment... ...the uproar as the 3:l5 bell non-rings on the last day of school... This is BHS I968-69.
