Butler High School - Nugget Yearbook (Butler, NJ)

In trying to define who we are, we find that we defy definition. There is no such thing as a typical Butler student. Every student at Butler High School has his or her own identity and is unique in a special way. We have outstanding scholars who will go to distinguished uni- versities and still others who will barely saueak through BHS. Some of our students have their futures carefully planned out; others are wandering around wondering what they'll ao after high school; still others live for the present and just don't care what they will be doing this time next year. Some of our athletes take sports seriously; others just play for the fun and the exercise. The halls of BHS echo with the sounds of concert- caliber musicians who find something in common with those who play solely for themselves. We perform with the marching band and the rock bands, with the choir or in the shower. Work is part of school for the kids at Tech and in the co-op programs. For others it is an after-school activity. Our jobs range from pumping gas to assisting lawyers to selling clothes to working the supermarket register. Money burns a hole in some pockets, but otners are saving for the long-term, like college or that much desired car. Speaking of modes of transportation, Butler's students arrive at school in many different ways. Some get their daily exercise by walking while others get up early to catch the bus or a riae from mom or dad. Some students are fortunate enough to have their own means of transportation. No, not all students have cars! But did you ever look in the courtyard at the bike rack or alongside the building at the mopeds? Parked along the road are a variety of cars. Be it an old clunker or a new sports car, the agony of looking for a parking spot each day is the same! There is no Butler identity. There are fewrer than 200 seniors, fewer than 700 students all together — and yet, we are truly a reflection of the diversity of human nature. If you look around, you can find a friend here — there is something for everyone. Most of us have forged friendships that will last a lifetime — a special gift from BHS. 6 Prologue
