People, activities, ideals: the three greatest hits as claimed by th a t phenomenal group, Burkburnett High School. And now for the first time ever on record, these greatest hits have been published and released under the name “BHS Gold.”

Although I do have the slightest idea of what is on it, I’d really like to hear it first-hand. And here to give us a first-hand review of the album is BHS lead vocal, Burt Burnette.

Burt, in your opinion, what exactly is BHS’s greatest hit?

Burt: Well, Mr. Editor — do you mind if I call you “Ed?” Ed: No, not a t all.

Burt: Thank you. Well, Ed, if I really had to rate our greatest hits, I would have to put people on top, because, as you know, Ed, people make up the character of our school — a very distinct character, I might add. And I personally feel th at our people are some of the finest the area has to offer.

Ed: But which people — the students, the faculty, the administrators — who?

Burt: Well, by using a complicated process of reasoning and rationalization, you yourself may come to the conclusion th at it is the unity of all three th a t makes it so outstanding. In other words, one cannot do without the other. For instance, take the classic situation where there are teachers but no students or administra­ tion. Think how the teachers would feel, coming to school every day and teaching to a classroom full of desks — pretty bland and hum-drum I’d say. W hat do you think, Ed? Ed: I think that is very true and correct, Burt. Now my next question: how does the category of activities happen to come under your greatest hits?

Burt: Very good question, Ed, and I ’m glad th a t you brought th a t up. You see, we here a t BHS feel th at we have one of the best involvement programs any­ where.

1. A morning class change at BHS. 2. Nominee Suzanne Cope rides the Senior float. 3. BHS band fires up at a pep rally. 4. Mrs. Zelda Parrish relishes every moment of her classtime. 5. Lori McClain strolls down the hall before class.

2 — Opening

We take advantage of every possibility to give students the opportunity to be active through class participation, cheering or competing a t sports events, taking part in a club or organization — so you see, Ed, the list goes on and on and on.

Ed: Yes, I see, Burt. Now something I’m sure everyone wants to know, what is it about the ideals of BHS th a t enable it to fall under “greatest hits?”

Burt: F irst of all, Ed, our ideals are expressions of w hat we believe school should be. Our methods of teaching and learning are p art of these ideals and as you can see, they are. highly praised in the education field. Surely this is enough to qualify it as a record of value.

Ed: Well, thank you, Burt, for th at wonderful explanation of this record­ ing. I’m very sorry th a t we don’t have more space for an even more detailed analysis, but we don’t, s o . . .

Burt: Ju st one more thing, Ed, while we’re still being recorded. I ju st want to give a little message to Thelma Cagnole. Thelma, I w ant you to know th a t I’m not mad a t you for pouring coke down my tux a t the prom this year. I can take a joke ju st as well as the next guy. Grudgingly, Burt.

Ed: Well, thank you, Burt. Now, on with the record. . . O

HOMECOMING OPINIONS PRESENTATION STUDENT LIFE PLAYS

HOME­ COMING PARADE At 2:30, Friday, September 22, the streets of downtown B u rk b u rn ett were lined with adults and children, awaiting the “release” of another of BHS’s greatest hits, the Homecoming parade.

The day started off badly, with the traditional Homecoming weather of o vercast skies and lig h t showers.

Parade participants hoped th a t the rain would end before 2:30. Fortu­ nately, the rain stopped around lunch, w ith only a quick show er as th e parade was forming.

A m orning pep ra lly allow ed almost everyone to miss a few classes.

Band stu d e n ts and o th e rs w ere released from school about 1:00 to assemble.

The Grand Marshal was Mrs. Kath­ erine Klack. She is a well-known and respected member of our community.

THE MAKING OF A GOLDEN SUCCESS Preparation for Homecoming ’78 was the climax of the excitem ent th a t had been building up for several weeks, “ Boy, it su re is early th is year.”, “Should I ask her now or wait until Thursday?”, and “Fort Worth Who?” were just a few of the com­ m ents su rro u n d in g B H S’s “ go ld ” Homecoming.

Junior Mum Sales sta rte d about th re e weeks before Homecoming.

This allowed enough tim e fo r the guys to ask girls early, but last-min­ ute mum orders on Thursday were not unusual. Members of the Junior class, under the guidance of Mrs. Owen, took orders for mums which were picked up by the students them­ selves. Although sales were not as high as anticipated, the profits were high enough to help with the upcom­ ing Jr.-Sr. prom.

On Sunday, September 17, five days before Homecoming, float construction began. Students worked on the floats from 6:00-10:00 PM every night until Thursday.

Thursday’s curfew was extended so th at last minute touches could be added to the flo,ats.

“Frontier” was this year’s theme.

The floats included “Little House on the Prairie,” freshmen; “Engine ’81,” sophomores; “Junior Schooner,” juniors; and “Crazy Horse Saloon,” seniors. Results of the float competition were announced a t the game Friday night.

The efforts of some of the BHS student body, the cooperation of local businesses to offer their locations as building sites, and the time some of the teachers spent advising the construction were greatly needed and appreciated in making the Homecoming floats a “golden success.” O

1. Kevin Keene and "the Kid” find that work­ ing on their freshman class float isn’t all work.

A fter all the floats were finished, I last-minute mums picked up, and the I parade over, it finally came down to | w hat BHS Homecoming ’78 was I really all about — the Ft. Worth I Northside Steers vs. the B urkbum ett I Bulldogs.

With an overwhelming 28-0 I margin, the Bulldogs brought home ij the first win of the year. Halftime I was ju st as exciting, especially for

the five queen nominees, Tambra Darland, Debby Rousey, Kathy Nixon, Becky B artlett, and Suzanne Cope. A t last, Debby Rousey’s name was announced and she was crowned Homecoming Queen by last year’s queen, Julie Hamilton. It was also announced a t the same time th a t the senior class had won the float competition and the freshman class

had been named first runner-up. The junior and sophomore classes tied for second runners-up.

With the cooperation of the “Orange Crush,” the Student Council, the “Pride of BHS” band, the Boomtown Babes, the clubs who participated in the parade and the community, Homecoming was truly the first “Golden H it of 1978.” O

RECORD-BREAKING PEP RALLIES At pep rallies, every BHS student had the chance to show his individual support of the football team, as well as of his school. Pep rallies have alw ays played a big p a r t of th e excitement during the football season and this year was no exception. The student body was led by the Varsity Cheerleaders, the Band, and the Pep Club. The Pep Club and the Cheer­ leaders showed the football team th eir appreciation by doing cheers while the band played songs such as the “Horse” and the Alma Mater and the Fight Song.

Students knew that if they yelled hard enough and clapped h ard enough, there was a good chance for both lunches the next Friday. If we had a good pep rally, we felt we had to win the football game. Apparently, we had many good pep rallies this year.

12 — Activities

l

Although one could always pretend he was not interested in the pep ral­ lies, he was usually dragged to his feet by faithful BHS supporters who were not ashamed to yell. Eventually, everyone w as on his fe e t (which really didn’t take long a t all) and yell­ ing to “Four Bits” or clapping to the “Horse.”

Pep rallies are a p art of BHS that will continue as long as there are sup­ porters of our school such as there were in ’78-’79. Everyone a t BHS, the parents of the students, and all the others who are essential to our fate, thank you for making our pep rallies a “record-breaking success.” O 1. Majorettes ready to perform to the "Horse.”

1 Every morning, Monday through Friday, BHS students arrived at school. Some gathered on the benches outside and some preferred to sit in the main hall, especially the seniors who came early to get a good seat.

Some students enjoyed ju st walking around through the buildings and talking to their friends.

To some of us, school seemed to be a drag, and the days went by far too slowly. Some others felt th a t school was a time for learning, as well as a time for making new friends and growing up. Although we all may have not liked going to school, we had to admit th at going to BHS made us appreciate school even more.

1. Stuart Miller gets his books for his next class. 2. Upper classmen take the privilege of sitting in Main Hall. 3. Student Council members work in school store at lunch.

14 — Activities

Although school did take up a lot of our time, we all found time to go to the dances on Friday and Saturday nights, to the movies or out to eat at pizza places or ham burger stands.

Some enjoyed riding around on the drag or going to the football or basketball games or the other functions BHS sponsored. While others preferred going out, others stayed at home and watched television or enjoyed being with their families or friends.

BHS life ranged from th a t “special” report th at had to be turned in by Thursday to the plans th a t had to be made for the Junior-Senior Prom. Many things occurred while we were in high school th a t were almost impossible to capture in writing.

Going to B urkburnett High School, though, made school life much easier and enjoyable, and ju st one “hit single” in every BHS student’s life. O

THE FIRST “CUT” OF THE YEAR Enrollment is an aspect of school which some people would doubtfully consider “gold.” Nevertheless, in late August, teachers and students once more converged on BHS to start a new school year.

Confusion was the order of the day.

A change of location forced students to follow confusing signs which led them to the VoAg barn. Here they encountered long lines inside. Course num bers and s p lit q u a rte rs only served to confuse students more.

T eachers and some stu d e n ts offered their services to help other students fill out the schedules th a t they would have to live with for the next nine months. Seniors compared schedules to see who had the least classes. Ju n io rs and Sophom ores moaned or rejoiced over their lunch hours, and Freshmen just looked con­ fused.

1. Enrollment reactions showed that not every­ one was ready for school to begin. 2. Juniors wait patiently to make out their schedules. 3.

After finally getting their books, students went into the outer library to cover them.

1. Home Ec. teachers Mrs. Faulk and Mrs. Cady, prepare the kitchen. 2. Teachers attend a pre-school meeting. 3. Mrs. Hamil­ ton gets a head start on cleaning her room before the first day of school.

A fte r obtaining th e ir schedules, students roamed the halls, finding their rooms or decorating their lock­ ers. Their cutoffs and t-shirts would soon be abandoned for dresses, jeans, and clothes th a t were more suitable for school, if not more uncomfortable.

Even some of the teachers could be seen in jeans and tennis shoes. They were busy rearranging their rooms, filling out class planning books, or helping with enrollment. It was very apparent the students, as well as the teachers, were ready to begin school.

Enrollment was the first “Cut” of the school year of 1978-1979. O

BHS GOLD Music is certainly something th at most of us could identify with during our years a t BHS. Radios, stereos, and 8-track tape players were im portant to some, if not all BHS students. Some even carried tape players to school with them, so they could always have music.

All of us had our own favorite music. Disco was probably the most popular, but rock and country and western or “roper” music might have been your favorite.

A Rock Poll was conducted in January. Students voted for their favorite rock group, favorite male and female singers, best album, best single, and best live concert. Students also voted for the best looking male and female rock stars.

Other categories were best drums, best guitar, best bass, and best keyboards.

The favorite rock group was the Village People. The Commodores came in sec­ ond, with the Bee Gees and KISS holding down third and fourth places. Other groups were Styx, Fleetwood Mac, Boston, and Queen.

Favorite male singer was Andy Gibb. Barry Manilow was in second place, while Billy Joel came in third. Steve Martin, th a t “wild and crazy guy,” was also nominated.

Donna Summer was the favorite female singer. Olivia Newton-John was sec­ ond, and Linda Ronstadt was in third place. Other singers were Crystal Gayle and Ann Wilson of Heart.

“Switch” by the group Switch was the best album. Second and third places were taken by “Crusin”’ by the Village People, and “Children of the World” by the Bee Gees. “C’est Chic” by Chic and “Commodores Greatest Hits” by the Com­ modores were also popular. f

GREASEPAINT AND SCRIPTS Behind all golden moments are many hours, days, and weeks of preparation. This “rule” especially holds true for putting on a play. The sinking of the curtain at the end of the play is just a climax of weeks of hard work and dedication.

The BHS Drama Department put on several “golden” productions in the past year. These productions included the Dessert Theatre, a children’s theatre, and a play for UIL competition. All of these productions were put on by members of the Drama Department.

Mrs. Sandy Hamilton directed the students in the Drama Department, and helped to collaborate with all of the productions. Mrs. Hamilton was also one of the main costumers, who sewed the costumes used in the plays.

The students also furnished costumes and props to round out the plays.

Producing a good play took more than just learning lines and painting scenery. Each actor or actress had already studied photographs and sketches which instructed them in the application of make-up. They had the difficult and messy task of choosing the right color foundation and shading their faces ju st right. In the end, they were often rather hard to recognize on stage, unless, of course, you, were a relative or a good friend.

The plays th a t were produced by the drama departm ent were enjoyed by young and old alike. Performances were held in the BHS cafeteria and a t the surrounding elementary schools.

Wherever they were held, these plays were sure to be hits. O 1. Mrs. Hamilton directs a stage hand. 2.

WEA THER-PROOF Snow and ice ushered in the new year and seemed to serve as an omen of other snow storms. The storm came a few days after Christmas and kept most of us in those few days.

Most of us could not get out to go anywhere, unless we were forced to go to work. On New Year’s Day, we had to stay and celebrate the New Year with our families and maybe just a few friends a t home. Some of us did, however, take an adventure by going into Wichita Falls to ring in 1979.

The first school day of the new year was postponed one day because of the snow and ice. School started at 9:30 the next morning, however, and opened a t th a t same time for more than a week.

1. Travis Cope hurls a snowball before school.

2. The Varsity cheerleaders clown around in the snow. 3. Students took precautionary measures while going to class to avoid a slip or fall on the ice. 4. Along with the snow and ice came many falls and crashes.

Snow always brings excitement with it. Having snowball fights, building snowmen, and going sledding were popular events during the “bad” weather.

Along with the fun, the snow brought many spills, crashes, and falls. Although we all laughed when we saw someone’s purse and books fly in the air and land on the ground, our opinion changed when fate selected us for a similar launch. Driving was much worse and more difficult than simply trying to walk across a patch of ice. Of the people who did get out in the snow and ice, all were in quite a bit of danger of having a wreck.

Many cars became stuck, had to be pushed to get another start up a hill, and some had to be even hauled out of ditches.

W eather affected our lives every day. We dressed according to the weather, took different routes, because of the weather, and changed many of our daily schedules because of the weather, o

USSR: NOTA COMMUNIST PLOT

1. Mr. Darland chooses to read about the Cowboys. 2. A sunny hall bench is Mr. Mabry’s location choice. 3. Karen Kolterman stops office work for USSR 4. Mrs. McNabb’s creative writing class reads.

Uninterrupted Sustained Silent Reading was a new project th a t was being tested by BHS. This program was designed to promote reading as an enjoyable experience, not as a boring torture.

Every Wednesday, during a designated class, everyone in the school stopped to read. During the first thirty minutes of these classes, teachers, janitors, administrators, and students read approved materials th a t appealed to their personal pleasure. The teachers had paperback books and magazines for the students to read.

USSR was readily accepted by most of the students. Many students found th a t reading was not as bad as they thought it was. Some students encouraged their teachers to extend the reading through the entire class period. Teachers allowed many of the students to check books out so that the students could finish the books at home. It was evident th a t USSR was a hit at BHS. 24 — Activities

“WASTED” TIME

It always seemed like when there was nothing to do, there was always something to do to waste time.

Between studying for an English test and finishing all those biology diagrams, we found time to go on the drag or go to Wichita Falls for a movie.

The Friday and Saturday night dances were always a good way to rid ourselves of the “Nothing-to-doBlues.” Dr. Soul and his records could easily lift our spirits. We were bound to have a g reat time once we got there.

“The Mall” was a terrific place to hide out on Saturday afternoons.

Going to “the mall” with several friends was sure to be a fun time.

We could also spend our free time going to a movie in Wichita Falls.

Movies like “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” “Animal House,” and “Up in Smoke” were favorites of many BHS students.

If we didn’t w ant to go to Wichita Falls, there were plenty of things to do here in Burkburnett. Riding around on the “drag” or going to eat were two of the most popular things.

We were sure to see a lot of our friends on the drag, and anytime made a g reat time to get a hamburger or pizza. W hat would we have done without “Wasted Time.”

1. A. nearby drive-in on the "drag” proves to be a favorite stop for BHS students in the afternoons, as well as at night. 2. Kim Kolterman really enjoys the Friday and Saturday night dances at the Youth Center. 3.

PRACTICE BENEFITS PREPARATION Preparation for Presentation 1979 was hectic this year, as it always seems to be. A fter the nominations and final votes were tallied, the participants of Presentation were announced. Entertainers, Who’s Who, those nominated for the different categories, and the Derrick staff members began preparing for the big night of February 3.

Practice was held the Thursday before Presentation for the nominees in these different categories: class favorites, class beauty and handsome, Mr. and Miss BHS, all-school beauty and handsome, all-school favorites, and most likely to succeed. The ten students receiving the Who’s Who awards also received instructions at practice from Mr. Carper and Mrs. McNabb on how to walk and stand onstage.

Saturday, February 3, finally arrived. The Derrick staff and the entertainers for Presentation arrived early that morning. While the staff decorated the cafetorium, the entertainers perfected their singing abilities for the “big night.” After the stage was decorated, chairs set up, and last-minute preparations completed, everyone went home, only to return in just a few short hours for Presentation 1979.0

The 1978-79 Presentation, as in all awards ceremonies, was full of excitement and anticipation. As the nominees waited nervously backstage before the program, their parents and friends filed into the cafeteria quietly, accompanied by piano music by Kathy Schroeder. To start the evening, the stage band pleased the audience with several vibrant numbers which accented the entire program very well. Class honors, which includes favorite and beauty and handsome, followed with Terry Moore and Keith Hampton making the presentations.’

During the intermissions between respective classes, songs were presented by various BHS students, including: Melanie Bennet, Jimmy Camp, Jerry Elzie, Debra Lary, Pam Wheeler Meharg, Greg Pittman, and Dennis Young. Following class honors were all-school honors, including Most Likely to Succeed, Beauty and Handsome, Favorite, and, of course, Mr. and Miss BHS. A t the conclusion of the all-school honors, the Teacher of the Year awards were presented to students of distinguished ability in the Who’s Who nominations.

As the evening drew to a close, parents congratulated each other on their son’s or daughter’s achievements as the photographer snapped pictures of the winners of each category. “Cafe le Presentation” was now history and only the memory of it survives as a lasting momento in respect to the outstanding students a t BHS, 1978-79.0

During the past school year, regardless of who you were, you probably took part in many various activities. From September to May, the school year was filled to capacity with activities for any student who wished to participate in them. In the fall, there was a football game practically every Friday night and usually a dance afterwards. Once football season was over, there were still numerous things to take part in, such as organization meetings, plays, UIL contests, special activities, and many sports events. Even away from school, students were involved in such things as going to movies, attending concerts, or just riding around the drag. What ever they took part in, though, they always found something that could not only help occupy their time, but could also keep their interest.

FROM ART STUDENTS TO ARTISTS The a rt classes offered at Burkburnett concern th at phase of humanities called the visual arts.

They touch us at every point and affect all our activities, and they range from humble, handmade utensils to the masterworks of painting, sculpture, and architecture.

These visual arts have the most immediate and continuous effect. The way we perceive a face or a building can be greatly altered by a drawing of the object from a different angle.

An art student becomes an artist when he can manipulate his observer subtly enough to evoke a particular emotion from him. The course a t BHS is designed to aid the a rt student achieve this by offering four separate courses on the subject. A rts and Crafts is a one-quarter general survey of almost all the different forms of art, from painting to pottery. A rt I, on the other hand, is a full year course th a t spends more time on each art form — a quarter on drawing optical illusions and three dimensions; a quarter on w ater colors and paints; and finally a quarter on ceramics from wood-carving to paper mache. And for the advanced student there are two courses designed just for the particular interest the student exhibits, Ceramics II, and Drawing II. 1. This art student enjoys her class. 2.

Who has not felt overcome and ramped in one room and refreshed nd free in another? The reason lies i the pencil of the designer. The larks he makes on the paper etermine the reality of his idea. The irst-year drafting course gives the tudent the basics of drawingimensions, sectional and multiiews, and pattern developments, lecond-year draw ing presents the tudent with all the effort of his first ear. In the second year, the student esigns an entire house, complete rith plumbing, foundation, roof, and lectrical schemes. The student ccounts for every board, brick, and loorknob.

MND THE STAPHYLOCOCCUS The health course is im portant in le fact th a t it educates us about h at is harm ful to or helpful for our odies. Millions die each year simply ecause they are ignorant of their wn metabolisms. Thousands more ecome the slaves of drugs or alcohol, he excuse: they claim they didn’t now better. Three quarters of health re dedicated to making sure you do now better by offering education on le availability, effects and msequences of both the dangerous nd helpful.

Joe Davilla demonstrates his masculinity.

To belabor an almost meaningless aphorism: “A healthy body makes a healthy m ind.” W ith exercise, you feel better, respond better, think bet­ ter. No course is more appropriate for academic life.

One could point out and discuss in length the significance of learning to drive. But most students ju st w ant to g e t around on th e ir own, w ithout whining to Mom “Will you take me to the dance?” Driver’s Eld insures the skill of driving the automobile; it does not insure an automobile.

/A WORD FITLY SPOKEN

Lisa Dowdy listens to the speeches given to pick up a few tips.

“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.” We all have ideas, but they are worthless if we cannot communicate them to others. Therefore, your ideas are dependent upon your ability of speech. And your degree of persuasion is dependent upon your agility of speech. Speech helps teach forms of persuasion and procedure of debate, and improve the ability to speak in front of others. Many people are dumbfounded in the face of a crowd; speech, through experience, aids in over-coming stage-fright.

While debate demonstrates the irrefutability of logic, impromptu speaking tests the rapidity of which the speaker can prepare a persuasive argument. Speech also offers experience in extemporaneous speaking where preparation and knowledge of current events is the key to a moving speech. The BHS speech department participated in contests at MSU, Rider, Wichita Falls High, Hirschi. They also competed for district, area, and state awards.

THERE ALL THE HONOR LIES

the make-up for the

The dazzling performance of "A Steadfast Tin Soldier.”

“Act well your part; there all the honor lies.” That’s the motto of the international association of actors, the Thespians. To become a Thespian, a drama student must first participate in a number of dramatic presentations to accumulate a number of “points.” But to act, one must rely upon the a rt of speech.

Enunciation, memorization, proper breathing and gesticulation techniques, and control over tone were all indispensables of good acting. Therefore, a good speech or drama student can become a good actor by observing the rules and techniques of Thespianship. And a good actor can do almost anything.

DEADLINES AND HEADLINES Deadlines, headlines, assignments, revisions, and fillers were key terms for the Spirit Staff. At the beginning of each month the staff and advisors planned the next issue and made story assignments. A fter the stories were submitted and revised, they were typed on a J-W riter, a machine that justifies type. Before any copy or headlines were placed on the copy sheets, the ads were prepared and placed. For several days before the paper was “put to bed,” students frantically placed final stories, adjusted headlines, and tagged and sized pictures. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as the copy sheets were placed in the box and taken to the printers. Editor was M artha Elliot; Assistant Editor were Kevin Seager and Yvonne DeShazer. Brian Adams served as features editor, and Leigh Katz as Ads editor. Advisors were Mr. Bob Carper and Mrs. Jean McNabb.

The 10 girls and boys who received the most votes were then interviewed by th e A m erican Legion A uxiliary and the American Legion. The stu­ dents chosen to receive th is g re a t honor w ere Lee Ann Odle, K risty Baird, Brenda Beard, Ted Robertson, Ronnie Clemmer, Kenny Park, and Gerald Sparkman.

Girls’ and Boys’ State are govern­ mental conferences to inform these students of the fundam entals of selfgovernment, therefore creating a full u n d erstan d in g and in te re s t of the political system of our nation. During th e long 10-day sessions, th e dele­ g ates form ed cities, counties, and states and participated in the govern­ mental processes which they had been studying. They learned about filing fo r an office, cam paigning, being elected, and serving as members of the House and Senate. The delegates also listened to numerous lectures by noted authorities. The inform ation these students absorbed will always be of great value to them.

DERRICK SPINS Just say “Deadline tomorrow” in the Spirit Room, and people cringe. In the Dark Room, “I need pictures” means “Kill me” in photography language. The truth is the Derrick Staff, all tyros in the construction of an annual, strained to meet the deadlines on time. Most did, but some were too slow or unprepared. The photographers had an equal share of hard work taking a large number of pictures, developing all of them, and then printing — perfectly, as the Staff wants them — the few the S taff prefers. At times it seemed easy; a t other times rushed and difficult.

ANNUAL RECORD

i Hampton takes pictures of a junior class

Mrs. McNabb instructs students as to the stage decorations.

The Derrick S taff is responsible for the Annual, a record of a school year, and Presentation, the selection and announcement of school honors. The past summer the S taff attended a three-day workshop a t MSU. There they received a general idea of what the publication of an annual is all about. The S taff must have listened carefully because they won both cover design and theme awards over all the other annual staffs that attended. When the year began, a theme had to be agreed upon. The rest of the school year was spent taking hundreds of pictures, choosing the best ones, and putting them to the pages of the annual. The 1979 Derrick Editor was Terry Moore and the Assistant Editor was Keith Hampton.

Our intention was to compile an organized report of the past school year while simultaneously making it interesting to the different audiences of the annual.Q

HOME ECONOMICS When most students think of home economics only cooking and sewing are brought to mind. However, there are many other different areas of study dealing with home economics: housing for the family, family relations and child develop­ ment are included with food, nutrition and clothing for the family. These areas inform the students of some of the day-to-day procedures included in raising a happy and healthy family.

Home economics courses are offered to both boys and girls, but not to all grade levels. Both Consumer Education, which deals with the problems a consumer faces, and Home Management, which covers the different responsibilities of the heads of the household, are offered only to juniors and seniors. Home and Family Living covers the individual and his relationship with his family. This course is restricted to only juniors and seniors.

Three teachers, Mrs. Warren, Mrs. Cady and Mrs. Faulk, conduct these classes.

It is obvious that the information gathered during these homemaking lectures and lab courses will be of direct benefit to the students.

Burkburnett is one of the leaders in Vo-Ag activities. The reason: Vo-Ag embraces almost all forms of agricultural education, not just welding or farm maintenance, but plant and animal science. The Vo-Ag department competes and wins in area, district and state contests. For example, both FFA and Vo-Ag students competed in the Burk Jr. Stockshow (where the prize lamb, reserve lamb, Grand Champion Steer, and all reserve steers went to Burk students), Wichita Falls, Houston, and San Antonio Stockshows and the Wichita County Stockshow.

BAND MAKES SUCCESSFUL The band — where would the spirit of the school be without it? They are present a t alm ost every assembly, every pep rally, every football game.

The band was given another I rating (superior performance) by judges at the UIL Contest. F or th e la st ten years (with one exception) the Burk band has made no less than a I rating.

The marching season of 1978 began dubiously. More freshmen were in the band than had been expected. Senior spirit seemed to drag. Many were dis­ concerted over the new flag corps.

Others were jealous and fearful over the new drill team. The band had to be taught — perfectly the new corps-style march, a style th a t was new to all 112 members of the band.

B ut a fte r th e senior players w e re ! ta u g h t, and the band divided into* squads, so th a t the rest of the band I would know, A band blew audiences! away on Friday nights. In Duncan,! where Texan-Oklahoman tension is 1 most prevalent in football, the Dun-1 can audience spontaneously stood and I applauded the band.

A fter th e m arching season, the I B u rk b u rn e tt band continued i t s ! excellence with two well-developed 1 concert bands and a stage band, that performed a t Presentation and the j Annual Cake-Walk. For Concert Con- I test, the band will choose three con-1 cert numbers, and will perform them j for a UIL rating.

MUSICAL NOTE

1978 — 1979 Choir

As any person who has attem pted to sing knows, it’s simply not as easy as vibrating your vocal chords. The vibration of your vocal chords is a biological privilege; singing is an artistic wonder. It takes practice to become a competent singer, and even more practice to be able to sing well with others. In choir the student learns three tunes to perform a t UIL Contest. This year the Burk Choir will sing “Oh Love, Hear Thou My Pleading,” “It Has Been Worth It,” and “I Will Lay Me Down In Peace.”

The Burk Choir has entertained various clubs and organizations, all the elementary schools, and the junior high school. The majority participated in Solo and Ensemble and many entertained at Presentation.

HISTORY LOOKS TO PAST BHS probably has the most varie­ tal history departm ent around, for “history” at BHS can mean anthing from Medieval or Ancient History to American History or Modern World Problems. “History” to other schools means boredom and inactivity. Here at Burk, it means a more intimate approach (whether in a debate over capital punishment or a mock court trial) to the realities of today. “The farther back one looks, the farther ahead he is likely to see.” I t’s True.

Yet the present can be approached on other levels as well. Psychology and Sociology are courses of study into th e beh av io r of individual humans and groups. These courses teach those seemingly rare consisten­ cies of human nature.

Physical science introduced the student to the general field of sci­ ence, teaching both the history and application of scientific principles. In biology, students received a perspec­ tive on not ju s t the evolution and classification of other animals, but also the development and perfection of the human. Chemistry teaches the basics of every living thing and non­ living thing — the atom. Physics dis­ cusses the behavior and effects of the atom in terms of light, vectors, force, and motion.

Then you can figure ju st about anything. But until then, you’ll ju st have to suffer through factoring binomials, sketching graphs, writing proofs, determining the cosine, and calculating the radius of a circle.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS Taking a foregin language a t BHS means more than merely mastering the gram m ar and memorizing vocab­ ulary. It means both a better insight to the English language and the cul­ ture of a foreign land. By studying the stru ctu re of another language, the foreign language student is able to contrast our language with others.

And with the opportunity to compare comes the ability to see the beauty of our own language. The student must learn the gram m ar and vocabulary to gain the foreign speaker’s perspec­ tive. Along with this perspective the student discovers the culture of the land whose language he is learning to speak. German, French, and Spanish are offered a t BHS.

DRILL TEAM

Last May, 60 girls from all four classes tried out for the new drill team. Girls were judged on poise, projection, enthusiasm, performance, and showmanship. From these girls three lieutenants, a captain, and 34 girls were selected to become members of the Boomtown Babes, the first drill team ever at BHS. Being selected a Babe was only part of the story. In order to remain on the team each girl had to maintain a “C” average and a set weight limit.

In July the Babes attended a weeklong workshop directed by Sonya Preston. They worked for eight hours daily learning routines.

SAFETY PROMOTED A special project of the Council was promoting safety. February was a busy month for the Safety Committee. They conducted car checks, painted entrance and exit signs, and conducted an “Electrical Safety Day.” On this day students and teachers were urged to “crimp” their hair and an “I ’m all charged up” button.

Our Council served as secretary for District Student Councils and hosted a District dance. Considering all of STUCO’s activities involvement certainly described this group. O 1. Krista Grant and Pam Brooks discuss upcoming events before a STUCO meeting. 2.

THESPIANS OFFER Thespians began their season with the children’s play October 19,25,26, and November 2. Tryouts were conducted September 7 and 11.

Fifteen cast members, twenty-two crew members, and five crew heads were selected to work on “The Steadfast Tin Soldier” to be performed for students of Hardin, Evans, and Sheppard elementary schools.

On December 15 and 16 Thespians presented the Dessert Theatre formally known as the Dinner Theatre. Instead of serving a full course dinner as in the past, guests were served homemade desserts.

Student directors chosen to direct the plays were Cindy Cotton directing “Goodbye to the Clown,” Brian Adams selecting “The Importance of Being Earnest,” and Randy Brown choosing “Decision a t HampsteadStation.” They were chosen because of their experience in speech and drama and for their awards in these categories. Mrs. Sandy Hamilton and the student directors selected the casts. At the Dessert Theatre six actors were chosen for the all-star cast in addition to beat actor and actress. Not only did the Thespians, perform plays, but they also attended the Vernon Regional Jr. College 3-A Speech Tournament.

Each year an initiation is held for drama students selected for Thespian membership. To be initiated each has to earn ten points. To receive these points a student has to act in one play, work backstage twice, attend speech tournaments, and go to rest homes.

Officers were Randy Brown, president; Laura Fidaleo, vicepresident; Cindy Cotton, secretary; Yvonne DeShazer, clerk; Martha Elliot, reporter. Also selected in November, were Sweetheart and Beau, Cindy Cotton and Cody Brewer.

F.F.A. members experienced a full year of work and some fun. Stock shows and their preparation took a lot of time and hard work. Before each show lambs had to be washed and sheared. After this was done each lamb had to be carded and blanketed to keep it clean. The steers also had to be clipped and washed. A fter their bath the steers had their coats blown dry with a stock cleaner. Chickens were washed and then dryed with hair dryers. Swine did not receive as much attention this year due to a new state law about pseudo rabies.

The Burkburnett Jr. Stock-show was January 13. Carla Poppa had the Grand Champion lamb of the show and Kevin Francis had the Reserve Champion lamb. Keri Morton had the Grand Champion and Reserve Champion steers.

The F.F.A. also attended the stock show at the Dallas State Fair, the Lubbock Jackpot show, the Vernon Jackpot show, the Fort Worth Stockshow, the Houston Stock show, the San Antonio Stock show, and the Wichita County Stock show.

John Dixon served as Burk President, Area IV President, and ran for Texas State F.F.A. President.

He attended the National F.F.A. Convention in Kansas City, Missouri and was awarded the Santa Fe Educational Award. Jeff Baber served as Vice-President and Terry Holly as treasurer. Carla Poppa was Burkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secretary and Wichita District Vice-President. She was also the Burkburnett Chapter sweetheart and was second runner up a t the Wichita District Sweetheart contest. Todd Streight served as reporter and Ricky Meadows was sentinel.

BASEBALLERS POST RECORD SEASON For the first time in history, the Bulldog baseball team went to the State Tour­ nament. The senior-led Bulldogs became the first team to get past the bi-district play-offs. However, after a 5-5 non-district record and a poor performance in the first half of district competition, things looked rocky for the Bulldogs. The Bull­ dogs’ dramatic comeback and clutch play made the Bulldogs’ trip to state one to remember.

To begin the first half of district play, the Bulldogs lost a big game to arch­ rival Weatherford. In the following game the Dogs beat Iowa Park 5-3. Next, the Bulldogs defeated Mineral Wells before losing a close one to Graham, 5-6. The Bulldogs won their final first-half district game by trum ping Vernon 17-0.

Although the Dogs played impressively, they finished runner-up to Weatherford for the first-half title.

The charged-up Bulldogs started the second half of district against undefeated Weatherford. They avenged their earlier loss and were boosted to a 5-1 victory by center-fielder Donnie King’s game-breaking three-run triple. Still revved up, r the “Burkburnett Nine” beat Iowa Park, Mineral Wells, Graham, and Stephenville to put themselves within one game of capturing the second-half title. A 10-3 victory over Vernon sent the Burk team into a best-of-three play-off with Weatherford.

Kevin Burke started against Weatherford in the opener. The W eatherford pitcher no-hit the Bulldogs as the Kangaroos took a 2-0 win. The pressure was on the Bulldogs. They had to win a double-header in order to advance to bi-district action, In the first game, winning pitcher, David Nix, struck out eleven batters.

Catcher John Yarmoski knocked in three runs, going 2 for 2 a t the plate, while Donnie King belted a 400-foot home run lifting the Bulldogs to a 6-3 win in the “must” game of the series.

In th e second gam e Kevin B urke struck out ten batters for his 11th vic­ tory of the year. .Tom Magill had two R B I’s, and D arrell Moore scored twice. But the highlight of the game occurred while the Bulldogs were on defense. The sparkling play of sopho­ more J e f f B aber and senior Scott Hogue provided the local fans with real baseball thrills. When it was all over, Burk had won 3-1 and were on their way to bi-district play-offs with the Tigers from Snyder, Texas.

Burk showed class, beating Snyder on their home field 4-3 in 12 innings.

Greg Hrazdil ws the hero, getting a clutch single to drive in Dale Russell and give the Bulldogs a one game edge in th e series. D espite David Nix’s brilliant two-hitter, the Tigers topped the ’Dogs 1-0 in the second game. However, coach David Keller fired up the Bulldogs and they pro­ ceeded to whip the Tigers 3-1 in the final game.

Junior Ted Robertson delivered the big hit in the first game with regional opponent B orger. R obertson’s h it came in the first inning and he scored la ter in th e inning providing Burk with all they needed to win 1-0. Kevin Burke won his 14th game of the sea­ son. The ’Dogs started out slow in a double-header in Borger, losing the firs t gam e 3-1. N evertheless, they sto rm ed back in th e fin a l gam e.

Kevin B urke pitched a o n e-h itter leading the Bulldogs’to a 4-1 victory.

BASEBALLERS TO STATE FINALS swinging for the third out, but the Burk team made it a 2-1 ballgame.

Kevin Burke, looking for his 16th vic­ tory, shut out the Jasper boys in the top of the seventh, putting do or die pressure on the Burk hitters. But in the seventh, with one out, Burk rose to the occasion.

All-district co-captain, Ted Robert­ son, reached fir s t on a w alk, Dale Russell singled, Scott Hogue, a senior leader on the team, drilled a single, tying the game a t two runs apiece.

Jasper changed pitchers, b u t it was to no avail. The new p itc h e r w alked Donnie King to load the bases and then walked Baber to force the win­ ning run across. The jubilant Burk­ burnett Bulldogs had conquered and w ere read y to ta k e on th e M ount Pleasant Tigers in the state champi­ onship game the next day.

David Nix started on the mound for the Bulldogs in the “big” game.

Nix held the Mt. Pleasant Tigers hitless fo r fo u r inn in g s by th ro w in g

what the Tiger coach described as “a smoking fastball”. However, in the fifth inning, Mt. Pleasant erupted for two runs breaking a 1-1 tie and creat­ ing a 3-1 lead. Burk battled back in the sixth when all-tournament Tom Magill tripled and scored on Darrell Moore’s double, closing the score to 32. But to their dismay, Burk could not push any more runs across. Mt. Pleas­ an t added two more, making the final 5-2.

Now th a t the season is over, one is compelled to look ahead to this year’s team. Pitching will be a big question mark. Both of last year’s aces gradu­ ated. Third base, shortstop, left field and rig h t field w ere also vacated.

Returning all-district performers will be Ted Robertson, Jeff Baber, and Donnie King. Coach David Keller will be looking hard for replacements to fill those vacant spots. Both Keller and his Bulldogs will be anxious to begin th e ir drive to w ard an o th e r state tournam ent berth.

Gainesville 15 — Burk 0: The Leopards were too strong in the opener and held the Bulldogs to only 140 yards total offense.

There were shades of w hat was to come in the year as Burk took the opening kickoff and drove to the Leopard 15-yard line. But here the drive ended.

Duncan 28 — Burk 0: The defending Oklahoma state champion Demons defeated the Bulldogs in a closer game than the score indicates. The key plays for the Demons were an 81-yard punt return and a 43-yard touchdown scamper.

Donnie King returned the second-half kickoff to the Duncan 16, but the Dogs couldn’t score. Burk’s record dropped to 0-2.

Burk 28 — FW Northside 0: On Homecoming night, Mike Bavousett scored th e first points of the year to begin a rout of the Steers. Also scoring were King and Darryl Ray. Burk 21 — Arlington Bowie 14: Rodney Horn’s last-minute interception pre­ served the Bulldogs’ second win in a row. Russell Wetzel used a spectacular onehanded catch to narrow Bowie’s halftime lead to 7-6.

A t the end of the third quarter, the ’Dogs had taken a 14-7 lead. The Vols knot­ ted the game a t 14, but King caught a 34-yard TD pass to give the Bulldogs a victory and a 2-2 record.

Burk 16 — Vernon 12: In perhaps the most important game of the season, the 'Dogs used six Lion turnovers enroute to the crucial win.

B TEAM

GRIDDEROLL

Junior varsity had another outstanding season. The team finished with a 6-3 record, including a 14-12 win over Rider. This marked the first time the Burk JV has defeated Rider since 1972.

Although the team lacked in size, it had an abundance of what it takes to win, heart. This yearning to win was evident in the players and coaches alike. Even when defeat looked certain, the team was able to come up with the big play th at would spark victory.

Although the JV is sometimes overshadowed by the varsity, each player took pride in being a part of this outstanding group. The junior varsity put in ju st as many-^ractice hours as did any other team.

In addition to the regular junior varsity games, several sophomore contests were scheduled. These games offered invaluable experience to the stars of next year. The play of these up-coming players makes the coaches anxious to begin next season and to start working with these improving athletes.

Under the fine leadership of coaches Dean Gilstrap, James Teter, and Randall Ryan, the Burk JV enjoyed a very commendable season.

The freshman football team may not have had a winning season on the record, but they had a winning effort.

A fter losing a number of games, the members of the team could have quit or given up, but each player stayed and gave it his best try. These young men should be commended for not “throwing in the towel” and continu­ ing the season with a glowing atti­ tude.

This “ nev er q u it” a ttitu d e was shown in the final week of the season.

A fter suffering a humiliating loss to Iowa Park, the Bulldogs avenged the loss the following week. The ’Dogs were trailing a t the half, but they came out in the second half and pro­ ceeded to rout the Hawks. One hopes th at this envied attitude is present next season.

VOLLEYBALLERS WIN DISTRICT

In the past years, to determine the district volleyball champion, a twoday tournam ent has been held. This year for the first time, there was a round robin schedule set up. The sea­ son was divided into two halves. Each te am in th e d is tric t played one another twice. The schools involved were Graham, Iowa Park, W eather­ ford, Vernon, and Burkburnett.

The first half of district was won

by B urkburnett. The Bulldogs fin ­ ished with 3 wins against 1 loss. Gra­ ham was th e second h a lf w inner.

Burk and Graham played a play-off gam e to d e term in e th e d is tric t champ. The game was played a t a neutral site, Olney. Burk won district by beating the Steers by the scores of 15-5 and 14-12.

The ’Dogs then participated in the R egional volleyball to u rn a m e n t.

B urk fell to th e d efen d in g s ta te champion Monahans. The scores were 15-3 and 15-2.

BULLDOGS COMPETE IN TOUGH DISTRICT

Left: Guards Donnie King and Carl Hayes bring the ball down court. Right: Danny Brennan is fouled as he puts up a shot.

Coach Randall Ryan and his Bulldogs opened the 78-79 season with a convincing 72-41 victory over Olney. However, the going was rough after that. The Bulldogs played some very tough teams in non-dis­ trict competition. So despite a 111-73 win over Gainesville and a 71-42 thrashing of Childress, the Bulldogs dropped several heartbreakers and carried a 6-11 record into the toughest district in North Texas.

The B u lld ogs opened d istr ic t play against the highly touted Hirschi Husk­ ies. Hirschi dominated the boards and the tempo of the game and came out on top, 73-54. Nevertheless, the Burk roundballers bounced back to defeat Vernon. Greg C rawford’s shooting and Danny Bren­ nan’s rebounding plus strong play from Ted Robertson and Greg Spake combined to give the ’Dogs a 71-65 win.

The next week, Iowa Park gave Burkburnett fits and squeaked past the Bull­ dogs 52-50. Then Burk travelled to Gra­ ham where Greg Crawford and Donny King paced the ’Dogs to a victory, 67-51.

Weatherford next handed the ’Dogs their third d istrict loss by edging by 69-68.

However, the ’Dogs could not afford to get down because in their next game they would be hosting the Mineral Wells Rams, the # 1 ranked team in Texas. The Burk squad stayed close during the first quar­ ter, but Mineral Wells pulled away in the second half and the final score read Min­ eral Wells 81 and Burkburnett 48.

A n g ered over th e loss, th e ’D ogs stormed back and trounced the Vernon Lions to the tune of 87-62.

Although this year’s roundballers did not enjoy a tremendous season, they did manage to combine a season’s worth of th r ills in one gam e. That gam e w as against Hirschi. A near capacity crowd watched the Bulldogs battle the Huskies.

Sm okey B urgess and Danny Brennan paced the ’Dogs through the first half and with 1:30 rem aining in the gam e, the Bulldogs were leading one of the best teams in Texas by three points. However, despite the rebounding and point produc­ tion of Greg Crawford and Ted Robert­ son, Hirschi’s 7’11” center poured in two clutch buckets and another Huskie added

a free throw and before the Burk fans could blink, the Huskies had slipped by 69-68. The disheartened Bulldogs took out their fru stration s on W eatherford by defeatin g them 59-47. With only three gam es rem aining in the season, a lax Bulldog defense allowed the Iowa Park Hawks to penetrate for an eight point final margin in favor of the Hawks.

The score of the Bulldogs’ fifth district victory over the Graham Steers was 7065. Carl Hayes, Troy Mills, and Michael D. Wise led the Bulldog attack.

The roundballers had only Mineral Wells to face in their last game of the sea­ son. Playoff bound and # 1 ranked, Min­ eral Wells defeated the ’Dogs 68-58 in their final outing of the season. The Bull­ dogs finished with a 11-18 overall record.

Three players were chosen for all-dis­ trict honors: Danny Brennan, 1st team; Greg Crawford, 2nd team; and Donnie King, honorable mention.

Behind f ir s t y ear coach, Danny Nix, the Burkburnett Jay Vee gave their opponents a taste of defense and showed exceptional offensive tal­ ents during th e 1978-79 campaign.

The B. team cagers wound up tne sea­ son with a 14-6 record. In close games against teams such as Mineral Wells, Bowie, and Hirschi the Bulldogs play inspired g re a t expectations in fans ana coaches alike. The Bulldogs frus­ trated opposing teams all year long w ith staunch defense. The Wichita Falls Coyotes, a 6-AAAA competitor, fell to the Burk cagers three times during the course of the season. The JV roundballers also placed second in the Wichita Falls Invitational Tour­ nament. Perhaps the finest show of B ulldog d efen se cam e a t home against the Vernon Lions. The Bull­ dogs dominated the Lions by running up 78 points and holding Vernon to ju st 19. The JV ended the season on a winning note by defeating the Gra­ ham S teers 68-49. A lthough many players will move up to varsity next season, continued success of the Jun­ ior Varsity can be expected.

GIRLS STRUGGLE IN DISTRICT The 1978-79 season was a tough one for the girls varsity and their coach Jerry Atchley.

Although they didn’t fair too well in district play, the lady Bulldog’s 515 record is deceiving. They lost some heart-breakers during the course of the year. A fter a good margin over Seymour, 51-42, victory eluded the lady roundballers twice as Breckenridge defeated them 47-27 and Chil­ dress beat them 43-17.

So the Bulldogs carried an optimis­ tic 4-5 record into district competi­ tion. However, in their opener, the Hirschi Huskies out-lasted the Bull­ dogs 43-29.

A fter that, the Bulldogs managed to win only one district game for the remainder of the season. So the Var­ sity girls will be working hard this n e x t y e a r to im prove th e ir 5-15 record.

Anyone who plays golf knows th at it is a game of consistency. Every serious player works constantly to reach his peak of performance and then practices diligently to maintain that peak during the course of the season. Although participation is moderate in this school sport, the competition and talent is very impressive.

Practice, as in every sport, is important to the golfer. Thus, he is forced to brave the early spring weather which is not always favorable to the game of golf. But to dedicated golfers, it seems th at it is never too wet to play.

SENIORS ARE A HIT Seniors. The ultimate in upperclassmen. They came in as freshmen, now they’re graduating as a complete group of well-educated mature young adults. The 1979 Senior class, as it has been in previous years, acted as a vital part in the functions of BHS. Although they are now allowed to walk across the platform to receive that priceless, hard-earned diploma, their stay here a t BHS will not too soon be forgotten. They were like a part of this school, virtually living in it seven hours a day, nine months out of the year. They played games, headed organizations, and attended classes here numerous times. As they accomplished these many things, their high school days became full of activity. Not many of this year’s high school seniors will forget their education obtained at BHS and, for this reason BHS will never forget the Class of ’79.

JUNIORS HAVE BUSY YEAR Most juniors will agree th a t their year is the best. They are not freshmen, or fish, here for their first year. They are not seniors here for their last year. And they are not sophomores here for their hardest year. Juniors are a t a happy medium, taking a leisurely schedule and looking forward to being next year’s leaders. Other than schedules and plans for next year, there was something else th a t made the junior class different — hard work to raise funds to give the seniors a memorable prom.

Another special feature was the ordering of class rings. When the rings arrived late in November, juniors felt a bit closer to th a t last special year.

When those long-awaited days in May arrived and the seniors were out, juniors got their first taste of being a senior. It was delicious.

CLASS OF '87 RETURNSI

This class of ’81 returned to B.H.S. this year as sophomores. They endured countless hours of biology, geometry, and English, In addition to these tortures they had to endure the superiority of the upperclassmen.

This year, however, they had the consolation of having freshmen to look down upon. They became cheerleaders and J.V. football players. They also became club officers and added a great deal of spirit to B.H.S. The sophomores show themselves to be a valuable part of B.H.S. and they will all look back on this year as one full of laughter and activities.

SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS: KNEELING— Marcella Thompson, pres.; SITTING— UirigØ Smith, vice-pres., Kathy Stockwell, rep., Penny Browning, sec.-treas.

FRESHMEN HAVE ABILITY Freshmen are one of a kind.

Upperclassmen always know one when they see him. He’s the one walking up and down the same hall, and soon being defeated, retreats to another hall. He also tries to fit seven classes into a six hour schedule. They are never to be found near the main hall. I t’s like it has been exterminated and freshmen cannot exist there.

People can find them rubbing their noses on the ground, hanging in trees, and skipping across campus. Above all, freshmen have the ability to search out and find the many opportunities th a t lurk in and about the school. And when it’s all over they will look back and wonder where th at year has gone, knowing th a t some day they’ll be looking down on the lower classmen forgetting th a t they were once freshmen.

FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS: Robin Hatcher, pres.; Lori McClain, vice-pres.; Tracy Lewis, rep.; Belinda Poppa, sec.-treasurer.

FRESHMAN CLASS FAVORITES: Kenny Ray and Tracy Morton.

CONCERNED ADMINISTRATION B urkburnett High School is fortunate enough to have an administration that cares. Other schools aren’t so lucky. Every person on this page enforces school policies and rules. Their objective is the maintenance and progress of the school; their motive is the concern for the school and the people who comprise it. Mr. Darland, with his honest, friendly approach, does more than merely supervise the school. He leads it. Mr. Roller and Mr. Beard, as vice-principals, help Mr. Darland by counseling all the boys of the school, keeping up with their attendance, and providing tickets for activities, while Mrs. Smiley and Mrs. Skelton assist the girls. Mr. Easter is the director of the vocations such as DE, OEA, and HECE; Mrs. Owens is the director of activities, and Mr. Groenwold aids students prepar­ ing for their lives beyond high school. Altogether, they make the school proud of itself.

“ I t is th e resp o n sib ility of th e School Board to make all school policies, levy school tax es, p u r­ chase property, and erect build­ ings.” “ MAKE ALL SCHOOL P O L I­ CIES. . .”

The School Board shall be a policy­ m aking body and shall legislate upon m a tte rs w hich a ffe c t th e w ell-being, operation, and e ffi­ ciency of th e B u rk b u rn ett Inde­ pendent School District.

Mr. James Pearson Superintendent

198 — School Board

“LEVY SCHOOL TAXES. . * The Burkbum ett’s school taxes are remarkably well-utilized. Instead of being applied to support any particular organization, sport, or club, the levies are exerted for the general well-being. The band, drill team , all sp o rts activ ities, and clubs are self-supported.

“PURCHASE PROPERTY AND ERECT BUILDINGS. . .”

This year, the construction of the new vocational training building has begun. The new b u ilding relieves the cramped labyrinth of the form er buildings. Moreover, the new location will be more con­ venient for all affected.

i lU JO CII

The past has always been history, even for students at Burkburnett High School. “ BHS Gold” holds parts of this school’s past year of history, although some of it cannot be printed on paper. Such intangible things as the emotions felt when you see your friends in the hall, have your last senior yell, or walk across the stage to receive your diploma are difficult to catch with a pen or camera. But the theme of “BHS Gold” is to represent these types of memories so that in thirty years this annual will be of great nostalgic value.O 1. BHS students show their active participa­ tion in one of the many pep rallies. 2. Jay Howell uses his musical ability in showing his spirit. 3. Keith Hampton presents one of the many awards at Presentation.

E vents such as the sw elterin g classroom days in A ugust or the “ Blizzard of ’79” may be a little vague to you by th a t tim e. Or to remember such things as our football team going all the way to the region­ als and the great pep rallies we had before all the games may be a bit dif­ ficult by the tim e w e’re all sixty.

Most of us won’t be ready for facel­ ifts and arthritic therapy by then, but surely the majority of us will need assistance in rem em b erin g w hat went on at Burkburnett High in 1979.

For instance, when you’re sixty-five years old, will you remember spin­ ning around in the parking lot with your old car with your old girlfriend or boyfriend when it was icy? How about having all your books soaked when the science wing flooded? What about all those days th at you didn’t have to come to school because the roads were too bad?

1. Students actively take part in typing. 2. Bas­ ketball fans anticipate another big game. 3.

Mr. Callaway gives an interesting lecture on the U.S.

And think how you’ll be the life of the party when you bring out the old ’79 Derrick a t your fiftieth high school reunion. You’ll be able to point out the teachers you had who would do things like assign a report two weeks in advance when they knew full well you wouldn’t do it till the night before it was due. All your old classmates will be right along with the teachers right here in this ’79 Derrick. At this moment “BHS Gold” may be of little significance to you, past something to sign, but in the years to come, it could mean more than anyone realizes. And since the purpose of the annual is to help us remember, the ’79 Derrick will then serve its purpose.

1. Mrs. Parrish hands back test much to the pleasure of her students. 2. Freshmen try a new experiment in physical science. 3.

Students fire up at a spirited pep rally.
