The BCHS yearbooks only occasionally contained a group photo of the members of the Science Department.  For the time period of 1969-1996 there were eight such photos.  These occured in the years 1969, 1970, 1971, 1980, 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1996.

 

Teachers often used scientific props.  Over the years, the biology teachers were particularly good at this.
