Mr. Jim Johnson Coach Jim Johnson, a man of skill and determination, is a prominent figure at BHS who has always worked for the betterment of our school. His friendly smile has been seen here for six years. Coach Johnson has been end coach for the football team for several years. He coached the baseball team and has helped to bring the conference champi¬ onship to Brevard. He coached the girls basketball team for two years. During the 1966-67 season he also coached the varsity boys team thus undergoing the gruelling experience of coaching two teams at once. Teaching driver’s education is one of his more trying tasks. His winning personality has made him the friend of many students and teachers. For his service to the school and his important role in our athletic department, we dedicate the 1968 BREVABDIER to Coach Jim Johnson. 4 Faithful and True-hearted . 5 .

New and lasting friendships were formed and old ones strengthened as students toiled to¬ gether. An aura of friendliness seemed to en¬ k , 1 velope BHS this year. Many things brought smiles to the students’ faces: a touchdown, another basket, a sprinter \V crossing the finish line, pep rallies, a word of praise, or a good grade. When there was a camera around, the usual cry was, ‘Take my picture!” Not everyone was light-hearted and gay. As usual there were groans at the least bit of work and many frowns. Sadness prevailed at the loss of a game, a failing grade, a broken friendship, or a disappointment. Though there were times of despair, happiness usually fol¬ lowed. 9 We All Love So Well • • • Almost every student was proud to be a BHS Blue Devil. These students showed their enthusiasm and loyalty through their participation in and at¬ tendance at school functions. Those who braved the cold, wet, and windy weath¬ er were real Blue Devil boosters. Whether a student liked school or not, everyone welcomed the snow which brought the closing of school for several days during semester exams. When the snow melted everything returned to normal as students began the last half of the long hard jouney. As always students crowded into the cafeteria for the hot lunches; however, with only twenty-six minutes in which to consume the delightful meal the food often went untouched. 10 11 12 . .There’s No Time to Grieve or Sigh • • • 13 • • • Our Brevard High School In the preceding pages we have tried to present the many complex facets of life at BHS through appropriate lines of the school song.

BEAUTY PAGEANT/ Brevard’s Southern Belles Rival Scarlett O’Hara Members of the respective classes voted — and re-voted — for their contest¬ ants in the 1968 Beauty Pageant. The entire student body eliminated two semi¬ finalists from each grade during the contest. The remaining girls had their pictures sent to the South Eastern Col¬ lege of Beauty Culture where the court was selected. The beauty pageant meant nervous tension and chewed fingernails, but pride and honor accompanied these anxious moments. Lovely “Southern Belles” made their entrance down a carpeted staircase, walked through the French doors of a columned Colonial house, and then strolled through the “gardens” in view of the student audi¬ ence.
