For decades, Bridgeport High School has had a Mr. and Miss BHS. The year 1997 was no exception to the rule. Durinig that year, Ryan Harris and Erin Carraher were chosen to represent the school.

Although the date is unknown, this photo is from many decades ago showing a bus making a stop on Main Street in downtown Clarksburg near the intersection with Fourth Street. The Fashion Shop, The Curtain Shop and Oak Hall Cafeteria - all long since gone - can be seen in the background.
