RAIDERS REALLY MOVE Ten Friday nights out of each year Hurst, Texas bubbles with the excitement of the blue and white football games. One night out of ten holds a special place in the hearts of students, teachers, parents, and many community members - it is Homecoming. On this night of nights, one can see blue and white streamers, uniforms, street clothes, signs, mums, or any other spirit- related items. The festivities begin on Tuesday when students wear any clothes that depict the school col- ors. On Thursday, the largest com- munity parade is held in honor ofthe Blue Raiders. Many organizations and individuals walk, ride, or somer- sault their way to the end of the two- mile affair. Then students gather for a yell-in and candlelight ceremony held inthe school courtyard. Finally, game day arrives. At 1:54 p.m., stu- dents fight their way into the main gym for the pep rally of the year. Stomping, clapping, and dancing, the student body fires itself and players up for the grand finale. The evening game proves to be exciting as Bell fights its way to victory and the sweethearts are crowned. The Bell System: Yes, it's got spirit! RlGHT -- The Blue Raiders are bustin' loose on the way to victory! On Homecoming night, they defeated the Duncanville Panthers by a score of 21-6. OPENING 12

FOR EVERYONE An important attribute of a good system is flexibility. There is something for everyone at Bell High School. The Vocational Program provides excellent training for those students who like mechanics and working with their hands. The program allows the students to spend half the day working on regular classroom studies and the other half is spent perfecting a skill. The Career Center Annex is structured to accommodate Cosmetology, Auto Mechanics, Auto Paint and Body, Radio and T.V., Metal Trades, and Building Trades. Under the direction of the various teachers, these students gain first-hand experi- ence in their chosen field. By the time they graduate from high school, many of these students have become licensed pro- fessionals. The Bell System: we've got a lot to offer! BELOW - Chris Schallowitz, Tommy Bravenec, Ira Pickett, and Mr. Gene McCaughan confer on the basic structure of the house they are building. Each year, the Building Trades students construct a home near a new addition of houses and the final product is sold to buyers at a very reasonable price. M Wai. . M F151 A jk ..,,, .f ' sr- f 1 Q...
