EPIC 70 Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake High School Burnt Hills, New York r I Leadership Fellowship Sportsmanship Scholarship Friendship Truth We, as whole persons, are reflected in our school and its activities. Our new facilities were available for the first time this year and they proved to be instrumental to the growth of the student body. The labs, athletic fields, music rooms, library and resource centers have all been significant. Each new experience at B.H.-B.L. was a challenge which was welcomed or withstood by students. Emotions were aroused as we were confronted with each new decision. The more we learned and understood about the world, the more we were able to understand ourselves within the world. Although we tried to be a ware of reality, we sometimes could not. At times, something about the way in which we are made kept us from seeing things as they really were, but we tried not to be blind to the work that makes everything worthwhile. Epic '70 is a truthful look in retrospect, at an eventful high school year at B.H.-B.L. 3 Alma Mater On a hill stands Alma Mater In her bright array. Showing forth her mystic knowledge. Clearing life's long way. Look, see there our Alma Mater; She's our guiding light We shall never have another. Cheer Maroon and White Like a shepherd, leads she forward Through each changing year. Mantled in her fame and prestige, She has none to fear. After years of separation, We'll be shining bright For our dear old Alma Mater, Pure Maroon and White 4 A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.

Dealing with common and crucial problems, they kept order in the school. 7 8 Mr. Carow A-G Mrs. Megantz H-O Mr. Pepper P-Z Guidance Office center of activity The year began in the guidance office with a mad rush of students wishing schedule changes. After those problems were finally solved, the emphasis was on seniors. Getting into college, getting a job, or making other plans for the future were all top priority. And how could we forget all of those tests? (PSAT, SAT, NMSQT, RSQT. Ach, ACT —to name a few) After each senior's plans were finalized the emphasis was placed on juniors and sophomores who had to plan their schedules for the forthcoming year. 9 Carpeting and All This year our new library provided a place for independent study as well as for group meetings. Mrs. Judd (below right) and Miss Smith (below left) gave assistance whenever it was needed. The spaciousness of the library made it possible to talk with your friends without the librarians knowing it. The Library Club helped the librarians and also helped other students to find needed reference materials. 10 With a little bit of luck . . Health is the most important factor in our development. The protection of our health was performed under the direction of the school nurse, Mrs. Goodsell. The responsibility to keep students in school who aren't really sick is hers. Her tea is great! A warm smile and a helping hand were offered to any person in need. 12 13 A wide selection of English electives encourages the expansion of each individual's interests . . .

As the deadline for the completed gym continued to be postponed, we went bowling. While girls improved their averages, the boys were given a study hall. As the boys bowled, the girls prepared for square dancing by practicing modern dance. Was it 771373 or 773711 or wiggle-sticks? The new swimming pool was the most exciting addition to the school and the community when it was finally completed. After the snow finally melted, we returned to new fields and track.

I remember—how I caught enthusiasm for sports, because the athletic teams did so well and the student body supported their effort. — The more informal relationship between teacher and students, than I was used to. This was a great help to me to overcome the language barrier for understanding new subjects. —A trip to New York City with the German class to see a play; when I also saw from the bus two young Puerto Rican children walking on the street with sandals and short pants, and the temperature was below freezing. And I remember my experience as a counselor last summer at Camp Rise, where Schenectady Inner City children can experience the out-of-doors and learn about themselves, with the help of concerned people, some of them, students from Burnt Hills. This whole year with so many different experiences and having the opportunity to live with the very nice family Lindblad has been wonderful. Thank you all for these memories. Perhaps we will meet again in this small world, and, when you are in Switzerland, come and visit me! Silvia Rey From Switzerland 90 Seppo Siirala From Finland Dear Friends, All I want to say is thanks for everything you have done for me. It has really been a good and important year for me. Maybe I didn't make the very best grades—but I made the best friends. I'll miss you all and I hope I'll see you again— perhaps next time when you come to Finland! (lloisiin nakemisiin) Seppo Siirala 91 Herbert Bleier From Austria Dear Friends, Before I came here, I was told by former AFS students that this year would be one of the most beautiful years in my life. First, I was skeptical, but I soon changed my mind. I have met many people this year and their friendliness and helpfulness have made it a wonderful year; I will never forget the new experiences I have encountered. Therefore, I want to thank you all for everything; for making it possible for me to be here and for making it such a nice stay. If any of you ever come to Austria, I will be glad to welcome you. Thank you all again. 92 Susan Hyde From England The year that I have spent at Burnt Hills— Ballston Lake and within its community has been absolutely marvelous. Whenever I shall recall this experience I shall always remember the friendly atmosphere of the school and the staff and students who were always so willing to help me. I saw and experienced many things for the first time, some of the most vivid being cheerleaders, pep rallies, and intramurals all of which I valued and enjoyed tremendously. Thank you so much. 93 Lilia Gasca From Mexico Dear Friends: I am happy to have had the opportunity to have come here to study and to make friends. I have done my best to meet and converse with everyone. I think that people are the same everywhere and only customs and ways of doing things vary from one country to another. Living irt this country is the best way to learn English and all the slang expressions that you use. If we could all get to know each other throughout the world as I have learned to know you in Burnt Hills, everyone would be happier. I hope that some of my new friends someday visit me in Mexico City. Hasta luego 95 Chie Takekoshi From Japan CAu JoJkA JLC Vj f ) Chie Takekoshi is staying in America for three years with her aunt and uncle on Woodside Drive. She will attend Burnt Hills—Ballston Lake High School for another year and then go on to college for another year. We are happy to have Chie in our school and hope she finds her stay here fulfilling and enjoyable. 96 Julia Smith From New Mexico Dear Spartans, I want to thank you all for the things that you have done for me. I've learned a great deal here with the wonderful help of teachers, friends and my family. Being able to attend Burnt Hills has been a great opportunity for me. It has been one of the most interesting and happiest experiences in my school years. I'll never forget the year I have spent here and what I have learned. I want to say that you are all welcome to visit the Navajo Indians in New Mexico at any time and see the interesting things we do. like. 97 98 Friendship Many a time from a bad beginning great friendships have sprung up Senior Favorites MOST AGREEABLE MOST DEPENDABLE Julie and Tom FRIENDLIEST Deb and Dan 100 CLASS FLIRTS Kittie and Charlie CLASS CLOWNS Nora and Bruce 102 MOST SCHOLARLY Lynn and Ferdy MOST TALKATIVE 103 MOST SCHOOL SPIRIT Dan and Sue Class of '70 President—Bob Collier Treasurer—Julie Winchester Vice President—Sue O'Regan Secretary—Tracy Egan 108 NC06NITO wnus two ...

The purposes of Student Council are defined in the Student Handbook as a) to provide for student government, b) to promote school activities, c) to set up auxiliary school activities, d) to develop respect for school property, e) to provide for the general welfare of the student body, f) to represent the student body to the administration and faculty in all problems. This year the fulfillment of these purposes became a subject of doubt among the student body. Concerned students questioned the effectiveness of Student Council as a student government. Many articles were written in the school newspaper related to the uselessness of Student Council's activities. New constitutions were proposed and dis- cussed. In Student Council meetings, it appeared that important problems, dealing with the welfare of the student body such as smoking, privileges and open study halls were being avoided and overlooked while such trite matters as passing coke bills were given more attention. As a result of lack of interest in the student body's welfare, meetings became more informal and disorganized. As it was being debated whether the new Students Government , Student Union , Student Assembly , or Student Council should be merely a social organization or a truly active and representative student government, the year slipped by. Was it worth it? 118 119 OFFICERS President: Larry Sargent Vice-President: Dave Steiner Treasurer: Dean Christian Secretary: Pauline deMello Advisor: Mr. Simmons 120 121 Key Club Key Club is a service organization that helps out the school and community. Members of Key Club collected tickets at the football and basketball games. The year's project was Operation Drug Alert. Its purpose was to inform people of the hazards of drug abuse. KEY CLUB OFFICERS: President: Jon Halgren Vice-President: Marc Smith Secretary: Craig Ostrom Treasurer: Mark Emery Advisor: Mr. Vanderwerker IFC OFFICERS: President: Dean Christian Vice-President: Bob Jordan Secretary: Jean Garrow Treasurer: Cindy Slovacek Advisor: Mr. English The International Forum Club is actually two clubs in one. One is the Model United Nations Club. This club participates in the meetings of the M.U.N. General Assembly, along with 13 other schools. These meetings are held monthly at the Unitarian Church in Schenectady. Each school represents several countries in debate. This year we represented 11 countries, some from which we had foreign students. The second club is the I.F.C. itself. This year I.F.C. sponsored a drive to build a school in an underprivileged country in conjunction with the Peace Corps. Worldwide acceptance of a single philosophy is not needed for world peace. Only an understanding of each different philosophy is necessary. Debate Club offered an opportunity for student realization that there will always be ideas in opposition to each other. Yet Debate Club went even further, so as to provide the ability to analyze ideas which is the basis of understanding.

Though not well known, it has been published annually for about ten years. Each issue contained original creative writings by the students themselves. Le Font was compiled after many hours of proofreading, and careful editing. The patience and determination of the staff made it possible for the magazine to be published this year, crossing many obstacles such as a lack of money and shyness of would be contributors.

FBLA was involved with such profit making activities as bake sales, paper drives, candy sales and sweatshirt sales. It was, however, more than a money-making organization. It provided an opportunity to make ne'w friends and become better acquainted with the unpredictable business staff. The trip to New York was both educational and fun.

With a stunning 26-0 victory over Mohonasen in the first game, the Spartans displayed the rugged defense and high scoring offense which they continued to show throughout the season. In their game against Guilderland, B.H. showed that their running attack was as effective as their passing by grinding out a 12-6 victory. After six games, the Spartans had given up only 14 points while scoring 129, which gave them a sixth place ranking in the state. However, after a heartbreaking 13-12 loss to Bethlehem Central, B.H. never recovered and ended the season in a three way tie for the championship along with Shaker and B.C. 134 Row 1: K. Kilrain, E.

The first win that sparked the J.V.'s was against Guilderland. The score was 0-0 when in the last few minutes Burnt Hills produced a touchdown. Knowing they could win, the J.V.'s went on to win the next three in a row before tying undefeated Bethlehem. In the game against Shenendehowa, the game was slow until early in the second half when Tim Keeler caught a key pass to set up the final touchdown to beat Shenendehowa 16-6. Awards given this year were to Rex Dufour, best defensive lineman; Andy Torkelson, best defensive back; Chris Shope, best offensive back; and Sky Stewart, best offensive lineman. 146 Row 1: C.

Doug X-Country Cross-Country is a grueling sport which requires an unusual amount of physical endurance. For training, these boys ran an average of five miles a day, their course being around the school perimeter and along the cross country ski trails. The way in which the score is kept for the meets is that the team with the lowest score wins. Points are determined by the order in which the first five boys finish. In each race, the course is about 2.5 miles long, and it usually takes from twelve to fifteen minutes to run. Our team this year was coached by Mr. Stevens. It won three of eight meets and finished seventh in dual meets in Suburban Council. 150 Frank Kurt Paul Charlie 151 Varsity Finishes in Tie for Fifth Soccer is a sport which requires speed, coordination, intelligence and cooperation. It also requires excellent coaching which was supplied for our team by Coach Brandt. With eight wins, seven losses, and one tie, this year's soccer team finished in a tie for fifth place in the Suburban Council. Because this Council is rated as one of the toughest in the state, the first six teams were chosen to compete in the sectionals. Burnt Hills played league champion, Mohonasen, in the first game. Due to the absence of three first string players, BH was defeated 3-0. (cont'd) Row I: Manager B. Mooney, H. Bleier, R. Barton, S. Bogdanowicz, D. Powers, J. Ripley, J. Anderson, A. Launer, H.

Under the direction of Coach Miller, the J.V.'s won ten of their games and were defeated in only six. With Bob Sammler in the goal, nine of the ten games which the J.V.'s won were shutouts. Since the J.V.'s are a young team it is highly probable that next year's varsity will be quite a threat to other members of Suburban Council. The team awards were: Most Goals, Paul Walrath; Most Improved, Pete Johnson; Best Lineman, Tom Carpenter; Most Valuable Player, Bob D'Amore; and Best Backs, Gary Handel and Jim Phillips.

After 2 years, the Spartans had won only 7 varsity games and was never considered a real threat to the league's top teams. The '69-'70 season, however, proved to be of great success when the team finished with a respectable 9-9 record. By beating Colonie, the league's top team, and going down to the wire with the other so called council powerhouses . Burnt Hills earned the respect of every team in Suburban Council. Row I D.
