They finally did it. The forces of darkness overwhelmed the historic Close Up Program at BA. Gone but not forgotten. | ||||

BA's first ever true non-participation. Reason? Theories abound. | |||
| 2014 |  |
BA's first ever solo attack. Noor Shahed braves the Close Up Program - on her own! | |||
| 2013 |  |
Close Up in June - its a first! Almost didn't happen - thanks DISD. Alls well that ....oh well, you know. A week in DC then...graduation! Yes! | |||
| 2012 |  |
Four, Quatro, the perfect balance. Or the perfect storm. Last minute deal. We kept the BA tradition alive. It was close. | |||
| 2011 |  |
A perfect 10. Close Up Cougars have a population explosion. Get a quick look before it shuts down...again. It didn't. | |||
| 2010 |  |
Environmentalism, don't ask don't tell, DC taxation without representation, abortion, pound big business.....its all about the issues. Or is it? | |||

It was April this BA Close Up year and we didn't regret it. Cherry blossoms, nice weather, and spring in the air. | |||
| 2007 |  |
The year of the RED Tape. Money, elgibility, time....the usual challenges. But even the bueaucracy couldn't keep these Cougars from the nation's capital in 2007. |

Six months after the attacks of 9 -11. We
see many changes in the nations capital. The city still feels very secure
but the government officials are determined to prevent another such incident. Yes, that's the US Capital. |
|||
| 2001 |  |
Six months BEFORE 9 - 11. There is security but it would be the last time for BA students to wander freely about the US Capital and to visit famous monuments unencumbered with walls, vehicle barriers, and numerous armed guards. | |||
| 2000 |  |
HAPPY MILLENNIUM! Computers didn't stop working, planets didn't align, and the earth didn't spin out of orbit. Everything was just...normal! For example, BA students visit the nation's capital with the Close Up Government Studies Program. |

The year of the shoes.... | |||

| 1994 |  |
Good weather all week. Can ya believe it? | |||
| 1993 |  |
My first Close Up week at BA. It was memorable. The famous late snowstorm of '93- "The Storm of the Century" - allowed us to "enjoy" three extra days in the nation's capital! | |||
| 1992 |  |
My last Close Up week at SOC. I'm sure it was great but how would we know? No pictures! Remember this was pre-digital camera days...Any former Golden Bears with Close Up pics from 1992???? | |||
| 1991 |  |
The year of the lost data. The early years of digital storage. All that remains is a few pics from the banquet/talent show/dance. Still, a fantastic week in Washington DC. Who couldn't love it? | |||
| 1990 |  |
The four ladies of South Oak Cliff. Golden Bears all the way! Assertive, confident and fearless. They showed the way and challenged the powers that be. | |||
| 1989 |  |
Wow, what a Close Up week! Close Up took us all down to historic Williamsburg for an unbelieveable experience. Also, your humble chronicler stumbles across a Supreme Court case with ties to SOC. Talk about "close up"! | |||
| 1988 |  |
A packed fun-filled and super informative week in our national capital. The week included many famous sightings on Capital Hill - including President Ronald Reagan! The week included a visit to Mt. Vernon and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. | |||
| 1987 |  |
These SOC Golden Bears let their voices be heard in the nation's capital - literally - with an acappella performance by one of our own during the going-away talent show. It's the BIG 80's baby! | |||
