Parade Portrays Music

After a week of float preparation, ordering mums, and making plans, homecoming activities were launched at the 9:15 AM pep rally on Friday, September 28. As far as school days go, homecoming is always an unusual day. It takes a great deal of student participation to present a parade.

Therefore, many students had to get out of school early to prepare cars, trucks, and floats for the 2:30 parade.

Those remaining in class eagerly awaited the 2:00 dismissal bell so th at they too could join in the parade activities.

Participating in the parade were representatives of BHS organizations.

In spite of the marching and the decorated vehicles, the main attractions were as usual, the class floats. The theme for float design was “music.” As each float passed, there were many conjectures on how it would fare in the judging.

Regardless of opinion, the spectators had to wait until half-time activities th at night to learn how their favorites had done.

First place w ent to the sophomores for “The Barn Dance.” Capturing second place were the seniors with “The Music Box.” “Music Machine” gave the freshmen a third, and “Disco” netted the juniors a final place.

Hammers Tune Homecoming Homecoming plans actually began last spring. Since homecoming was scheduled rather early in the school year, the Student Council selected the theme for the festivities and selected an area of music they wanted to carry out on their float designs.

Float construction could not begin until on the Sunday before homecoming. Although some got off to a slow start, all were finished by parade time, even though long hours of work were necessary. Each float could not exceed $200 in cost. Of this $150 was given by the sponsoring merchants and up to $50 could be taken from each class account.

1. Greg Pitm an, Ellen Beeler, Cheryl H eptner, Lea Stokes, Johnny Melton, and Tom Terry work on dance floor for ju n io r float. 2. Greg Lenggel and K athy Fullerton a tta ch silver tinsel to junior float. 3. Cheryl H eptner and Lea Stokes make sponsor sign fo r “ Disco.”

1 0 — Activities

During homecoming week, conversation frequently turned to float construction — how much had been accomplished the night before, who had worked, and how the floats compared.

Naturally each class member wanted his float to win. Seniors feeling a win would be appropriate for their final year, hoped more strongly for first place.

Game Wraps Up Homecoming

Two activities completed the homecoming schedule on Friday night — the game and the queen ceremony.

The dogs were anxious to chalk up a 3-in-a-row winning streak, but the Volunteers from James Bowie High in Arlington had different plans. At half-time the Vols, a strong AAAA team, predicted to win their district, went to the field house with a 21-0 lead.

1 2 — Activities

At half-time the four senior girls, selected as queen nominees were presented by their fathers. Anita Sykes was announced as queen. Runners-up were Jessica Kilpatrick, Sherry Phillips, and Julie Potts.

During the second half, the dogs allowed the Vols to score only 3 more points. Although they lost the game to a tough opponent, homecoming ’79 had been a winner.

Times to Bust Loose V H l N l b M THE “Let’s go to the pep rally” was a welcomed announcement on the Fridays of football season. Pep rallies were a good way to both end a week and build spirit for the night’s game.

Another special feature of pep rallies was the double lunches given

by Mr. Darland if good spirit had been displayed at the preceding pep rally. Also pep rally day m eant shorter afternoon classes.

About half way through the season, students were asked to seat themselves by classes. This got some real cheering going through class competition.

YULI

Except for the absence of actual game play, the pep rallies were like miniature football games. The cheerleaders and pep club directed cheers, the band played, and the students yelled. Also the action began when the team entered the gym and ended as they left.

Skits such as the “demon chasing” performed by mascot Michael Lary and Willie Norman added variety.

Favorite cheers were “We got spirit” and “Two bits”; “Orange Crush — Number One” became a popular chant as the season progressed.

Few could leave the pep rallies without increased spirit and heightened interest in the game’s outcome.

Mornings Yawned Early

1 School mornings were not something we looked forward to, especially if we were tired or had not completed assignments due. But we usually found that our spirits rose as we got into our morning school routine. W e learned quickly th a t certain parts of the school “belonged” to particular classes. For example the area of lockers near the main office was designated as “senior hall,” the science wing was known as “sophomore hall,” the home economics wing as “fish hall,” but the juniors’ lockers seemed to be divided between the English and math wings.

If we wanted to find someone before school, the appropriate hall was the first place to look.

1. Students visit near senior lockers before school. 2. Mike Stubblefield, Greg Crawford, Ray Alexander, and Sandra W right walk to first hour class. 3. Students take advantage of a pleasant morning.

1 6 — Activities

1. Randy Brown receives a headache a fte r a civics test. 2. Joanie H astings does homework for A m erican H istory. 3. Diane Jones studies for her test. 4. Fonde Middlebrooks reads her new spaper d u rin g civics class.

Classes Are Hectic Susie, Mark, Penny . . . these were the names th a t we heard each day as roll call began our class periods. The fifty-five minutes we spent in each class were sometimes the most boring but also the most rewarding times of our lives.

We sat in our assigned chairs, each day, frequently trying to forget that the room was extremely hot or biting cold, and centered our attention on the teacher or occasionally on a student walking down the hall or even a car driving down the road.

We drained our brains dry and breathed a sigh of relief when our class was interrupted by an announcement or a rude knock a t the door. We kept one eye on our class work and one eye on the clock and prayed we would have enough time so we wouldn’t have homework.

And when the bell rang, we gathered up our belongings and walked out the door forgetting everything for twenty-four hours.

Five-Minute Rush The five minutes between classes were the busiest and most hectic times of our day. In spite of the rush they were the most popular times because we could visit before the next class.

Our lives seemed to be controlled by bells telling us to s ta rt or stop something.

The bell signalling the end of a class was the most welcomed because it started five minutes of free time.

One of the most popular meeting places was around the senior lockers, and running a close second was senior hall. In these places we talked about the day’s events and where we would be going on the weekends.

For the more inactive students, ju st sitting down and watching students walk to class proved to be a relaxing and pleasant time. And for the more desperate students, becoming a track star for a few minutes was not such a bad idea. Being in Auto Mechanics third hour, and English fourth hour, made running seem very important.

Jerking our locker doors open, with fear of w hat m ight have been placed in there by some daring student, or with fear of g etting a shower of books as a g ift from one of our friends, were some of the obstacles th a t stood in our way as we tried to choose the right book for our next class.

Dashing into our next class ju st to hear the bell ring telling us to s ta rt class sometimes made those five minutes seem shorter.

3:30 Means Pleasure For many of the students at BHS their days started a t eight o’clock.

For many it was to get to a club or class meeting. But the majority came to walk the halls and talk with friends.

During this time we visited with our friends, rigged and decorated their lockers and shared the laughs with them when they discovered our pranks.

But if we ever stayed around school long enough afte r school, we were able to see what being in school all day did to such friendly calm people who were here in the morning.

At the signal of the 3:30 bell, we ran out of our last class, grabbed our homework, and ran to our cars, not caring who we pushed out of our way.

Some would be left standing outside waiting for their buses as the dust blew at them from the spinning tires.

Lunch Hits Burkburnett Lunch time is one of the times that the Burkburnett fast food stores get really busy. Among the busier are: Sonic, The Sweet Shop and Dairy Queen.

A relaxed atmosphere and quiet seating were some of the characteristics that attracted us to these places.

During the three lunch periods students drove their cars around the school and often competed with the other students to see who had the loudest car stereo. But those times when all we had to do during our lunch period was to eat and we had no car, we went to the BHS cafeteria, which provided us with another place to have our afternoon meal.

Sun Sets on Dating

Dating is quickly becoming Burkburnett High School’s favorite pastime. As we went through this year, some of us realized th a t while we were dating at Burk it could have been the most important time of our lives.

Many of the dates we had that were important were to school sponsored activities. Among these were Homecoming, the Sports Banquet, and the Prom. But even if the dates were not school-sponsored, we could be sure th a t we could find Burkburnett students anywhere.

Our dates usually started by making the drag. And sometimes when we had more money for gas, we were able to cruise Kemp in Wichita.

When we were driving around, we could always see our friends from Burk and sometimes recognize a friendly face from Rider or Hirschi.

At Sikes Senter on a Friday night we could almost always find a t least twenty couples from Burkburnett out on dates. We would either be walking the mall, eating a t Picadilly’s or standing in a line waiting to see a movie.

Our dates seemed to always end too quickly on the front steps of the girl’s house with one or maybe two good­ night kisses.

Holidays Offer Break

1. C afeteria ladies show th eir Halloween spirit by dressing-up. 2. Mr. T urkey Legs contestants. 3. Mrs. A nita Owen tak es a vote from Deborah Bailey fo r Mr. T urkey Legs.

Holidays were im portant because they offered a break from the usual routine.

Therefore, we tried to not let an im portant holiday go by w ithout some type of celebration. The holidays we celebrated were Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Easter.

Halloween is the time for trick-or-treating. One tre a t th a t we had was the cafeteria ladies dressed up in different costumes while they served us lunch.

Even if we came to school the next morning with egg stains on our cars and shoe polish on the windows, we were still pleased with the fun we had had the night before.

At Thanksgiving the BHS student council sponsored a Mr. Turkey Legs contest. The contestants were H art Jeanis, John Hrinevich, Kevin Keene and Jerry Hayes. Four pictures of these guys’ legs were hung in Senior Hall with money cans under each one. We dropped money in the can for the guy with the best looking legs. H art Jeanis won the title of “Mr. Turkey Legs.”

Dancers Dig Disco

Weekends were made for dancing and dances were made for us on Friday and Saturday nights a t the Youth Center.

We would pull ourselves through the week with the hopes there would be a dance so we could walk through the door and be greeted by a smiling Mrs. Alice Bryan.

We were picked up by the sounds of “Mr. Disco” and “Mad M artin” and after the first couple of songs almost everyone would be dancing. We jammed the night away and danced our feet off and by the time twelve o’clock came around, no one was ready to leave.

As the lights came on, everyone made his way slowly toward the exits, jumped into cars, and managed to make the drag. A fter we made the last turn around the Sonic, we would make th a t last stride home.

Costly Prom Equals Fun The Junior-Senior Prom has always been an anxiously awaited event. The junior class officers and Mrs. Anita Owen started early in the year planning the 1980 Junior-Senior Prom.

It was scheduled for April 12, at the Wichita Falls Country Club. We were not allowed to decorate, so we didn’t really develop a theme. However, we did have a theme song played by Chateau. Chateau, chosen by John Hrinevich, waS the band that performed at the Prom.

The junior class hosted many dances and sold candy during the year so they would be able to give the senior class one of the best Proms ever. This year the Prom cost approximately $1800.

Junior and Senior guys started about one or two months before th e Prom asking girls to be their dates. These early plans are necessary because the guys have to get their tuxedos ordered and the girls have to have time to shop for formals.

It was estimated by the Derrick staff th a t the Prom cost each guy approximately $90.00 and each girl $120.00. The guy can usually ren t a tux ranging in price from $29.00 to $40.00. Other approxim ate expenses for the guys were a corsage, $12.00; dinner, $20.00; gas, $10.00; and Prom pictures, $8.00. The girls, on the other hand, could spend up to approximately $80.00 for a formal, $5.00 for a boutonniere, $32.00 for shoes, and $20.00 for a purse, a shawl and a pair of hose. But no m atter what we paid we felt th a t the Prom was well worth it.

Fun Under the Sun

One thing that we will never forget is wondering each morning what we should wear.

Weather was never the same two days in a row a t Burkburnett High Scnool. We came to school on a Monday just dressed in casual clothes.

Tuesday we would be wearing windbreakers, and Wednesday we would be wearing our winter coats.

Weather always had an effect on where you could find us. During the sunny days we would be outside talking with our friends, rainy days we would be clustered in the halls, snowing and cold days would find us snuggling around every heater we couid find, and hot days we longed for the relief of the vocational building.

No m atter what the w eather was, we depended on it to know weatheror-not we would have a happy or a gloomy day.

Business — Getting a Head Start

Balances, receipts, margins, tabs, accounts. . . the list could go on. But what do all these terms mean?

To some students they stand for the various skills and systems they learned in one or more of the business courses. For other students of these classes, they are a reminder of that balance which was 4<t off, or th at feeling of accomplishment after typing 60 words a minute with only one mistake.

The difficulties and rewards of these courses are different for the individual student, but the advantage of getting a head sta rt in the world of business is the same for all.

Experiencing A Job

As business training classes, the Office Education Association prepares students for office work.

This includes learning how to use calculators, working on practice sets, payrolls and filing. The students also learn the roles and duties of the different business occupations such as payroll clerks. As their money making projects, Tom W att kits were used.

These consisted of various household and gift items.

OEA lab, restricted to juniors and seniors, is a regular class. OEA Co-op is offered to seniors only who have taken OEA lab. These students go to one hour of class and then work an average of 15 hours a week in an office job. These jobs, such as legal secretary, give the student employees a valuable yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience which helps prepare them for a career after graduation.

Students involved in the H.E.C.E. program learn basic job skills which enable them to be better employees.

The students hold a wide range of jobs including child care, food service, floral, convalescent work, and other home economic related jobs.

Each student works in a course of study related to the job he or she holds. For example, a student in food service learns how to operate foodrela ted m achinery, p roper serving methods, and quantity food prepara­ tion.

In addition to specific job studies each student is required to take, all H.E.C.E. students learn how to get along with their co-workers and cus­ tomers so th a t they can become more efficient employees.

H.E.C.E. students g et a head start in the world of business by participat­ ing in the Home Economics Coopera­ tive Education program.

One-quarter cup equals how many tablespoons? What stitch should you use when hem m ing? W hat is a budget? How do you apply for a job?

At what age should a child learn to share?

The answers to these questions and others are very familiar to students who take any one of the five home economics courses offered. Contrary to common belief, home economics offers more than just the basics of food preparation and clothing con­ struction. The studen ts study con­ sum er education, fam ily relations, m anagem ent, housing, and child development. Whether learning how to make b an an a n u t b read from scratch or balancing a checkbook, stu­ dents learn to deal with many prob­ lems which they will face long after graduation.

Cosmetology Requires Two Years

Each school morning 15 people b oarded a bus fo r Mrs. C a r te r ’s School of Beauty Culture. They spent all m orning in cosm etology study.

The tw o -y ear course covered all aspects of beauty care.

Anatomy and nutrition were stud­ ied during the first year of the pro­ gram. These subjects were an impor­ ta n t step enabling the stu d en ts to le a rn how to en h an ce a p e rso n ’s appearance.

The second y ear of the program dealt with actual beautician’s work.

The students, guided by their instruc­ tors, gave permanents, facials, tints, manicures, massages, and wax tre a t­ ments.

A fter completing the course, cos­ metology students were able to apply for a license. Although some students may not have followed a career in beauty, all learned the basic beauty care guides which could benefit them for life.

Doin’ Their Own Thing

As an elective, a rt makes use of a student’s hands, talent and imagination. There are many different forms of art, but painting, pottery making, and drawing are included in the projects taught.

In this class, where “doing your own thing” seems to be the theme, the students work on the same forms of art, but have to rely on their own creativeness. The outcome may not be exactly what they had in mind, but there is still a feeling of pride when the finished product is brought home.

With their drafting machines they worked on complicated three-dimensional figures called isometrics, drew problems out of a book, made use of geometrical objects, and created house plans.

Neatness was demanded by the instructor, Mr. Briggs. The students found th a t sloppy erasing, lines which didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet, and being more than 1/ 16 of an inch off were not accepted.

Consequently, an average of two days was needed to complete the problem by hand.

This precision may have been difficult for the students to adhere to in the beginning, but they learned th a t drafting demands exactness.

Most te en -ag ers look fo rw ard to the time they will be able to drive.

W hen a s tu d e n t ta k e s th e driving course a t BHS, he m ust first study from a te x t book and a special pam­ phlet to learn the rules of the road.

N e x t th e s tu d e n t will tu rn in his q u arter notebook. He may then take the w ritten te st which the Wichita F alls D ep artm en t of Public Safety gives a t the high school. The te st is a nerve-racking, nail-biting experience to show the DPS th a t the student is qualified to g e t a beginner’s license.

H ealth classes are an im p o rtan t part of a students education. For a freshman, finding the health class the first day of school usually poses quite a problem until they discover th a t the health classes are located in the gym behind the coaches’ office. Each stu ­ dent is required to have taken a year of health to graduate. The students in th e h ealth classes go th ro u g h th e labor of learning the names of dis­ eases and what they can do to the body. They learn which bacteria can be helpful and which ones can be h arm fu l. The h e a lth classes a re ta u g h t separately to th e boys and girls. The health students are tested over w h at they have learn ed and must turn in a folder a t the end of each quarter.

The PE classes teach students to play volleyball, a bruising sport, but the girls’ favorite. Each one wants to hit the ball when it comes flying over the net, try­ ing to make the opponent miss it on the return. The boys favorite is basket­ ball. A favorite of both the boys and the girls is the fast moving dodge ball where two teams race to get a ball placed in the center of the floor. A fter the whistle is blown to begin the game, the team who gets the ball first usually rushes at the other team trying to hit an opponent to knock out of the game. The teams move back and forth in rushes of flying balls. The more players knocked out of the game, the more exciting it becomes.

The same will continue until only one player remains, then the team of th a t player can claim victory.

Auto-Mechanics Runs Smoothly The maintenance, repair, and operation of an automobile is more familiar to the Auto Mechanic students than just about anyone else at school. These students have to be devoted to their vocation because they spend three out of six class hours learning the different parts, functions, and repair procedures of engines.

Qualifications are basic math, a mechanical ability, and the status of a junior or senior. As a three-hour course, Auto Mechanics lets its students improve their skills. To test these abilities, each student is given a job sheet to do. This gives him step by step instructions on how to work on a particular part of the engine.

Auto Mechanics has a casual atmosphere, with the students working on individual jobs a t their own speed. Following their training they will qualify as apprentice mechanics. They will also have the abilities to repair and trouble-shoot their own vehicles.

Nails, Hammers, and Sore Thumbs Building Trades is a three-hour, two-year course offered only to ju n ­ iors and seniors.

During the first quarter course, the students learned the fundamentals of carpentry and construction. I t was r important that each student learned these skills well, so th a t he could par­ ticipate in the yearly house construc­ tion. The students were involved in every phase of the house construc­ tion, from laying the foundation to hanging the doors.

The students put much time effort into the construction of the house.

This time and effort was rewarded w ith the sense of accom plishm ent each fe lt a t the com pletion of th e building.

Spirit Staff Creates Success A newspaper takes hard work and dedication before it is ready to pub­ lish. The Spirit staff began the year with a “brainstorming” session. The en tire s ta ff sa t down and tried to come up with ideas for their stories.

Then came the ad selling, rewriting, picture requesting, and copy typing part of the job. The final outcome was the result of work put in not only during class, b u t also a fte r school.

One ad v an tag e th a t they had was having their own type copy machine which m ade th e p a p e r “ cam era ready” when sent off.

Some of the staff went to the Uni­ versity a t Arlington for a five-day workshop. Others w ent to the Texas Press Women’s Conference a t Mid­ western State University.

The life of a reporter was often busy, hectic, and frustrating, but it did have its advantages. The experi­ ence of conducting an interview, the ability to write on almost anything at anytime, and the feeling of accom­ plishm ent a t having created some­ thing — nine issues to rival any in the area — are invaluable.

O th er schools in the area also attended the workshop. The Derrick won second place in division page design.

At the beginning of the year, the Derrick S taff sells ads for the money to help produce the yearbook. The Derrick S taff also chooses an appro­ priate theme for th a t year, chooses cover design, and then the colors th a t will be used for the cover. The year­ book is the written history of the past year and the Derrick S taff is respon­ sible for recording th a t history. The students on the s ta ff p u t in e x tra hours d u rin g te a c h e r w ork days, assemblies, and quarter exams.

Each staff member is assigned his or her own pages in the book which must be finished by set deadlines. The Derrick S taff is also the producer of Presentation. Each year they poll the students and the class and all school beauties, handsomes, and favorites are chosen.

This year there were four senior editors instead of one and they were assigned a part of the annual to edit.

Brian Adams was senior editor of advertising, closing, and index; John Hanson was senior editor of sports, Annelise Smith was senior editor of academics, and Serena Holland was senior editor of activities and organi­ zations. D aphne W illiam s w as in charge of the Sophomore section and Connie Dilger was in charge of the Junior section. Marge Andrews and Linda Wolfe were in charge of the Senior and Freshman sections.

No Business Like Show Business Drama is divided into two courses.

In Drama I students learn basic act­ ing and speaking techniques. They learn how to evaluate and act out plays. Stage make-up is also taught.

Students learn how to apply make-up so th a t they appear to look up to 60 y e a rs of ag e. D ram a II is the advanced form of Drama I. In addi­ tion to increasing their acting talents, Drama II students learn scene con­ struction, script writing and puppe­ try. Along with their classroom work, dram a students attend many drama to u rn a m e n ts. T hese to u rn a m e n ts offer students a chance to show their abilities in many different divisions of dram a. The divisions offered a t most tournam ents are prose, poetry, duet acting, and debate. The students are ju d g e d on th e ir ab ilitie s and given ratings by judges.

Speech Is Communication Speech is communication. Through the speech department the students learn to communicate their thoughts and ideas through proper, clear speaking, hand gestures, and eye contact. The students also learn how to listen to others by listening to fellow students give speeches. The students prepare extemporaneous folders all year. The folder is for the University Interschool League, or as most of us are familiar with, the UIL contest held a t the end of the year.

There, they were asked to select an envelope in which there were three topics. The student was allowed to pick one, and was given thirty minutes to write a speech pertaining to this topic. They used their folders to obtain information. The students also picked one topic for debate and researched for information on th at topic all year. Then they debated with area schools on this topic. The students also practiced reading prose and poetry selections for yearly contests sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign War and American Legion.

Only the students scoring a number one went on to com pete in s ta te solo and ensem ble com petitions. The choir received a m ajor change this year when they bought new uniforms for their performances. The change from the black capes was an outstanding improvement.

Science Activities Varied

Each science class had its activities which brought to mind the favorite as well as the not so popular lab work.

For the freshmen, memorizing the elements from Hydrogen to Lawrencium and watching those ever popu­ lar Cieba-Giegy films were activities which introduced them into the world of science.

Extracting the lower mandible of a giant grasshopper, learning the com­ plicated puzzle of DNA, and the smell of formaldehyde were all part of the second year science course — biology.

For the students who wanted to continue with their studies of science, Chemistry and Physics were availa­ ble. Like young Dr. Frankenstiens, they experimented with the different elements and acids.

Whatever the favorite, each class tau g h t the students th a t exploring the science world could be a fascinat­ ing subject.

Rithmetic — The Big “ R" W hether taken by a student who was numerically gifted or by one who was confused between acute and obtuse, the math courses were a challenge to all. Most students felt hesitant about going to these classes a t the beginning of the year, but they soon learned to buckle down to their studies. Math courses ranged from the basic math classes to advanced math and trigonometry. In between were levels of algebra, geometry, and more. Though the students may have been confused a t first with the digits, points, equations, square roots, and binomial problems, they discovered a feeling of achievement when they “saw the light.” These students knew b etter than many th a t life is full of problems.

Because of advancement in com­ munication and transportation, the gap between countries has become much sm aller. L earnin g a fo reig n language can close this gap even fu r­ ther and open doors to diplomacy, for­ eign trade, and a better understand­ ing of the world in which we live.

The French, German, and Spanish students took their first step toward this advantage by learning the nouns, verbs, a rticle s, te n se s, and o th e r g ram m ar of th e ir p a rtic u la r la n ­ guage. Customs and history were also studied.

Even if the student initially had no special reason in taking a foreign lan­ guage, the satisfaction of expanding their knowledge and minds to include learning what few high school stu­ dents learn was well worth the effort.

Students are not required to take history until their second year of high school. Sophom ores have a w ide ra n g e of o n e -q u a rte r courses to choose from. For example, a student could take Modern World history first quarter; Kings, Queens, and Revolu­ tions second q u a rte r; and A ncient World History third quarter.

As juniors, students are required to take American History. If a student wants, he or she can take Civics th a t same year as well. The American His­ to ry course covers th e g ro w th of America from the Civil W ar to pres­ ent time.

Civics is th e la s t social stu d ies course students are required to take.

Students learn about the government and all aspects related to it. B ut in Advanced Placement Civics, students increase their knowledge and under­ standing about government and its functions by participating in national and state elections campaigns, and in school board meetings.

More Than Readin’ and Writin’ Every freshman and sophomore goes through the prerequisite English classes.

But for juniors and seniors, English as a subject reaches far beyond the traditional grammar courses and into specific areas of interests.

Mythology lets the student look into a past world where the gods reigned over man. Another excellent course is Bible L iterature which studies the Bible and looks at it as Hebrew history. The American and British novel classes give students a better knowledge of the styles and influences of famous authors such as Twain and Austen. For the classical fans, th ere’s Shakespeare. Students can study several of the world renowned works of this all-time g re a t author.

Though these courses are ju st a sample of the classes offered, they prove th a t the subject of English has a lot more to it than the work itself.

STUCO Leads The Student Council leads most of the non-academic activities in the school. It is open to elected members only. To qualify, members m ust have no grade lower than a C, must file proper candidate forms with STUCO sponsors, and be willing to make a speech before the student body.

Following the speeches, each class elects its representatives.

This year’s money making projects consisted of selling T-shirts, “hands,” and Valentine carnations, suckers and love-o-grams.

The members started selling Tshirts during enrollment and sold them till all 200 were sold. There was a T-shirt for each class; Seniors’ saying “100 percent Senior;” Juniors’ having “Mighty Juniors;” Sophomores’ with “Super Sophomores;” and Freshmen’s saying “Frosh Power.”

The “hands” were sold during foorball season for those who wished to show a little school spirit. The “hands” had the index finger pointing upward showing th a t Burkburnett Bulldogs were “number one.”

The Valentine Day mementoes were sold from February 4 to February 8. They were then delivered during first hour February 14.

Student Council also raised money for the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Association. Mathis Chevrolet was chosen as the Burkburnett MDA center. Members worked in shifts from 7:30 a.m. till 7:00 p.m. and received approximately $900 worth of pledges.

The Student Council Safety Committee also entered a scrapbook on the district level. Graham beat them out by one point, but the Texas Safety Department liked their scrapbook so well, they were chosen as one of six candidates to represent Texas at the National Safety Conference in Flagstaff, Arizona.

Babes Add New

K < L L W = K (IERRORIZE Tryouts for drill team positions were a tiring process for all who were involved. The tryouts were held in April of the ’78-’79 school year. The girls who tried out actually went through four separate stages.

First of all came the “weigh-in” on April 4. The girls were given a chart indicating how much they should weigh according to their height and bone structure.

The second stage was being able to do the splits. Each girl had to be able to do the splits on a t least one leg.

Third, each girl was required to kick her height five times on each leg.

If any girl could not meet each of these requirements, she was unable to participate in the final step, trying out before the judges.

For the final event, four drill team members choreographed a routine to be taught to the remainder of the girls trying out. The girls were required to learn the routine within two days; then two days were spent working individually with the girls.

On April 9, the tryouts were held.

On May 14,15, and 16, officers’ tryouts were held. Twenty former drill team members tried out for the three lieutenants’ positions and two former lieutenants tried out for the position of captain.

1. Drill team members and mascot visit before the pep rally. 2. Alynn Hilton and Patsy Andrajack aw ait an upcoming halftim e performance. 3. Chris Johnson perform s in chair routine. 4. Babes do drill to “Vegas.”

Chair Routine During the summer the Babes attended a camp here in Burk starting on July 30 to August 4. The camp lasted eight hours each day.

They learned six new routines and made up two of their own. They also attended a two-day clinic held by Mr. Gregory teaching the girls how to march.

During marching season, benching on Wednesdays was a dreaded time for drill team members. A girl could be benched for being given marks or if she didn’t know her routine.

The chairs routine, a new addition to the Babes routine, was done to a medley of “Grease.” One special routine consisted of a circular drill to “NFL Today.” They also did a jazz routine to “Shake Your Groove Thing” and the high kick to “Vegas.”

The Babes participated in the homecoming parade and also placed second at the Wichita County Christmas parade.

The captain was Julie Potts and the lieutenants were Chris Johnson, Christy Pruett, Nikki Combs, Tracey Thigpen, and Jan a Hamilton.

Shouting, Clapping, Cheeri As eight o’clock rolled around, we could always hear the enthusiastic voices of the Pep Club members as we approached the field for a Friday night football game. As we came closer, we could see the Pep Club and cheerleaders lined up on the field, ready for the entrance of the football players and the beginning of another exciting game.

This year’s Pep Club had a new addition to their uniforms. Besides the orange skirts, black vests, white shirts and sweaters, they had hats.

The tarns were orange, black, and white and had “Burkburnett Bulldogs” written on them.

The only requirement for joining this club is a lot of spirit and the enthusiasm to support the team. Also, one of the requirements for trying out for cheerleader is to have been a Pep Club member for a t least one year.

The Pep Club along with the help from their sponsor, Mrs. Anita Owen, did their job of supporting the Bulldogs and providing spirit a t the pep rallies and games.

Cheerleaders Stay Busy During Yea For the cheerleaders, the season started early with cheerleader tryouts on May 15,1979. Twelve girls were chosen. Those selected for varsity were headcheerleader, Anita Sykes, Sherry Phillips, Deneice Browning, Marcella Thompson, Karen Kee, and Tiffany Alvey.

Chosen for the junior varsity were Wendy Deason, Kim Conley, Mary Pert, Tammy Reed, Marilyn Keown, and Kathy Pezanosky.

From June 3 to June 8, the varsity cheerleaders attended a clinic at Cisco Jr. College in Cisco, Texas, with 42 cheerleading squads from all over Texas. The first night they received an excellence award, which was the highest they gave out for the first night. For the remainder of the clinic, they received the highest award — the superior. Along with these, they received three of the four spirit sticks given away during the camp’s session. A t the end of the clinic, the varsity cheerleaders also received the Spirit Award.

The J.V. cheerleaders also attended a workshop at Hirschi High School.

They received four superiors, one outstanding, and one spirit stick.

They also received a ribbon for being the Super Star Squad.

Cheerleading is costly both in time and money. The cheerleaders spent up to two hundred dollars each for their uniforms. The varsity cheerleaders paid for half of their camp expense while the J.V. cheerleaders paid $25 each for their camp. The varsity cheerleaders also made refreshments for the varsity players before every game. They bought helium for the balloons a t the Iowa Park game. They decorated the football players’ lockers and prepared them bags of candy for some of the long trips to the games.

For Bulldog mascot, Michael Lary, the season was also early, with mascot tryouts on May 7,1979.

NHS Promotes Scholarship HENNEDH Thirty-six new members were selected on October 11 by a panel of teachers. The students were officially installed a t a November 12 ceremony in McClain Hall.

To be eligible for NHS, a student must have a grade point average of 3.5 or higher, and must not have a term grade of either a D or F. They are also chosen on the basis of character, leadership, and service and must be classified as a junior or senior.

December was a busy month for the NHS members. First was NHS’s yearly money making project — the Christmas candy cane sales. This year, members took orders from December 3 to December 7 for students who wished to send one to their friends, their sweethearts, or their teachers. Fourthousand were sold and were delivered December 17 by members dressed as Elves and Santa.

Also, NHS sponsored the faculty vs. student basketball game on December 20. All proceeds went into the school’s “general activity fund” which was mainly used for the awards program in May. NHS usually donates over a hundred dollars for the awards program, but the amount chosen to donate is voted on by the members each year. Almost $600 is spent on the awards program for medals, sweaters, cups, and rent for the community building.

The honored students were selected by teachers in each subject taught.

These students were recognized and presented a medal a t the program.

Others, such as the top ten seniors, are also recognized.

NHS sponsor is Tom Moore; President, Perry Thomas; VicePresident, Kevin Seager; Secretary, Pam Brooks; Treasurer, Terry Phillips; Reporter, Kevin Dunn.

FFA Members Attend FFA is for students who enjoy agricultural activities. The FFA members attended most of the major stock shows.

In the early fall members attended the state show in Dallas. They won Grand Champion Hereford Steer, which is the highest award achieved. They also had a 2nd place lamb and a 5th place lamb.

Ag members also participated in the District Beef Show in Wichita Falls. They captured two class winners.

Along with these shows, they also attended the F ort Worth, San Antonio, and Houston shows. They participated in the county show in March.

FFA members care for 70 hogs, 25 steers, and 55 lambs. All of the animals have to be prepared before the show. The animals have to be washed and dried. The lambs then have to be sheared. The hogs are clipped, and it takes five hours to prepare each steer.

Besides just feeding and taking care of their animals, members m ust teach their animals to stand in the show stance and how to behave a t shows.

Since members spend more money buying b etter animals, they have to make money from their animals a t the show. To make more money th eir animal m ust make the premium sale, which includes the top 40 percent of animals. Animals th at make premium sale bring in $200-$400 over m arket price.

The officers for 1979-1980 were J e ff Baber, Pres.; Trey Adams, V. Pres.; Jere Baber, Sec.; Lige Reed, Treas.; Sid Chambers, Rep.; and George M atthews, Sen­ tinel.

GAINESVILLE 14 BURKBURNETT 0 The Bulldogs found their opener against state-ranked Gainesville a tough one.

Dropping it 14-0, the Dogs did show an impressive defense allowing Gainesville to score with only 49 seconds left in half and again with 1:53 left in the game.

BURKBURNETT 14 DUNCAN 13 Finding their first win against Oklahoma’s two-time state champions, the Bulldogs’ defense was instrum ental in leading them to a 14-13 victory. Mark Dennison scored first for the Dogs, giving them a 7-0 half-time lead. Duncan pulled ahead 13-7 with only 8 minutes left in the game. Quarterback Tommy Darland hit Keith Easter for the final TD th a t tied it up. Shannon Combs provided the winning point on the kick.

BURKBURNETT 7 FT. WORTH NORTHSIDE 0 The Burk defense once again was the deciding point in the game, shutting out the Steers 7-0 for their second win of the year. The Steers, eventual winner of district 5-3A, held on the first half but the Bulldog offense found paydirt as Darland ran 21 yards for the score. From there the defense took over and ended a late Steer rally with an interception on the five.

ARLINGTON BOWIE 24 BURKBURNETT 0 Homecoming did not have many bright spots except for the crowning of the queen and announcement of the float winners. The Dogs turned the ball over four times as they were never really in the game. The Vols went in with a 21-0 halftime cushion, but found the Dog defense tough the second half only managing a 46-yard field goal.

BURKBURNETT 0 VERNON 0 The offense stumbled, but the defense was excellent in the district opener as the game ended in a 0-0 stalemate. The Bulldogs did get close when Jack Stine was stopped on a 4th and three a t the 20. Vernon took over, ran four plays, but gave the ball back to Burk on the 29. As the final few seconds clicked off, Combs’ 37-yard field goal was no good. The Bulldogs actually did win the tie as they led in penetrations and first downs.

BURKBURNETT 20 MINERAL WELLS 6 The Dogs took their district record to 1-0-1 with an impressive win over the Rams. In the second period Darland scooted around the le ft end for a TD, and a successful PAT made the score 7-0. Then in the third q u arter Darland found Easter open for 6 more. The extra point w ent wide for a 13-0 lead. For their third score, halfback Lon Gilliland found wingback H art Jeanis in the end zone. Combs kicked the PAT; 20-0 was the result. With the second team in, the Rams finally scored making a 20-6 Dog victory.

BURKBURNETT 21 GRAHAM 0 The Burk offense scored twice and the defense once as the Dogs branded the Steers 21-0 for their second district win. Stine scored the only first-half touch­ down while Tommy Darland tipped the lights again with a 3-yard burst. Johnny Cook pounced on a Graham quick kick for the final score.

BURKBURNETT 11 H IRSC H I0 Defense provided the win as the Huskies never were in the ball game. Burk took an early lead with 9:40 in the first quarter on Shannon Combs’ 20-yard field goal. Burk added two more when they broke through and blocked a Hirschi punt for a safety. The Dogs put the game out of hand with a Jay LaBrie one-yard burst, sending the Huskies back home, 11-0.

The Dogs ruled the Roos and the District roost with this victory. It was close from the sta rt as W eatherford scored on a safety when Phillip Dowling let a snap shoot through his hands. The Bulldogs got things rolling late in the second period when catches by John Hanson set up Lon Gilliland’s 16-yard scamper into paydirt. The Dogs came out a t halftime hot as they scored on their first possession when Darland raced for 30 yards, gaining a 14-2 lead. The Roos then drove 80 yards for the score, but they had the help of about 40 yards in Bulldog penalties. Burk had a slim 14-9 lead. W eatherford’s onside kick was successful, but five plays later the Dogs’ defense prevailed on a 4th and 1 and the Bulldogs had insured a victory and a co-championship, and a 4-0 district record.

BURKBURNETT 13 IOWA PARK 9 Burk took the district title outright and earned a playoff spot with this victory.

There were two games — 1st half and second half. Trailing 9-0 a t half the Dogs were ready to play and fullback Jack Stine exploded 34 yards for a 6. The kick was good; Combs then closed out the scoring with two field goals of 28 and 33 yards.

LAKE VIEW 9 BURKBURNETT 6 Outscored but not outplayed, a fact as the Dogs dropped a heartbreaker to 6th ranked Lake View. The Dogs took a 6-0 halftime lead when Darland hit Hanson with a 19-yard touchdown toss which was set up by Sullivan’s eleventh interception of the year. Early in the third quarter plays th a t ended Burk’s season were upcoming. A Lake View safety resulted from a Burk fumble. On the following kickoff the Chiefs blasted through for 6 more and an extra point. Burk ended the season 7-3-1.

Volleyballers Break Even

Since the 1978 Bulldog Volleyball team was the district 4-AAA champion, the 1979 team found the shadow left by the ’78 squad a tough one to fill. They posted a season record of 8 wins against 8 losses. This included a secondplace finish at the Graham tournam ent. As district started, the Bulldogs found the competition stiff and posted a 3-5 record.

In the first half of competition the Bulldogs dropped their first three matches to Graham, Vernon, and Iowa Park, before they saw their first district victory against Weatherford.

The second half Burk again dropped th e ir firs t two matches against Graham and Vernon. The Dogs did not give up though as they won their last two encounters of the year — Iowa Park and Weatherford.

The Bulldogs placed one on the all-district squad; Jessica Kilpatrick was selected to the first team as a setter.

J.V. Gains Experience

In 1979 the J.V. volleyball team had a slow year and found the road to being a winner had many potholes in the way. Facing a disappointing 3-8 season record and a 2-4 district slate these young ladies look forward to next year when they will represent the school as a varsity team.

This young team should be con­ gratulated for hanging in there when it seemed that volleyball was a for­ gotten sport at B.H.S. Small specta­ to r atten d an c e did no t d a u n t th e spirit of these girls.

Coach Randall Ryan and his Bull­ dogs opened the 79-80 season with hopes of a district title. In non-con­ ference games, the Bulldogs finished with a 7-6 record. This included a sec­ ond place finish a t the Graham tour­ n am en t. The B ulldogs also had impressive wins over Gainesville, San Angelo, Central, Graham, and Fred­ erick. The Bulldogs faced pre-season favorite Mineral Wells in their dis­ tr ic t opener. The Bulldogs played tough but the Rams prevailed with a 55-50 victory. Then with a win over Vernon and a loss to a tough Weath­ erford team, the Bulldogs held a 1-2 district record. Graham then lost to the Bulldogs to get up a showdown with Hirschi. Hirschi defeated the Bulldogs in the final minutes, erasing an earlier 3-point Bulldog lead with three minutes left. Iowa Park proved no challenge for the Bulldogs next as the Bulldogs won 77-54. With a disap­ pointing 3-3 first half record they looked forward to the second half.

The Dogs faced Hirschi next. They still say hopes of a district title if they could win this game. Hirschi did play tough once again and finally defeated the Dogs 60-53. With this defeat, the Dogs had lost their chance for dis­ tric t. N ev erth eless, th e Dogs defeated Iowa Park to finish 7-5 in district.

J.V. Posts 20-3 Season

The 1980-81 v a rs ity b ask e tb a ll team should be tough, if the JV cagers live up to their 20-3 record. The JV posted a very im pressive 20-3 record, winning their last 18 in a row.

This w as a new reco rd fo r BHS. Coach Nix and his squad only lost games to Rider, Bowie, and Stephenville. A t one time durin g th e y ear they had a record of 4-3, but they won their last 18 in a row and proved that they were a truly great team. The JV represented BHS very well and with many players moving up to varsity next year, look for a strong team.

Bulldogs Regain Crown

[RST ROW: John Ruggles, J e f f B aker, M ark M allet, Bobby Nixon, Don Sullivan, Tim Cornelius, M ark M ulkurkan, Mickey Padron, Charles H arris, Ron Curi), P erry Thomas, L ester King, Jam es Dixon. SECOND ROW: Coach T eter, Tom Pezanosky, G reg H razdil, Cris H anks, Charley Dilbeck, H a rt Jeanis, Frank oenke, Wesley H razdil, John H ranevich, Travis Cope, John Yarmosky, and Coach Keller.

In the 1979 season the Bulldogs were predicted to finish third behind W eatherford and Hirschi. However in this socalled rebuilding year, th e Dogs captured th eir fourth straig h t district championship.

In non-conference games the Dogs started out tough winning their first three games against Rider and Lawton (both AAAA schools) and Electra.

The Dogs then entered the Wichita tournam ent. In the first game the Dogs faced Richland Hills. The Dogs were handed a 5-4 defeat, their first one of the year. Then against Iowa Park the Dogs came to life and bombed the Hawks out of the park and recorded a 16-2 victory. In the consolation game the Dogs again faced Lawton High, but this time they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find the magic and were defeated 65.

The Electra Tigers once again challenged the Bulldogs and once again found th a t they were no match for the mighty Bulldogs who won 15-5.

The Dogs began d is trc t ag a in st Iowa Park, but they couldn’t pull this one out of the bag as they made six errors on their way to a 7-6 defeat.

The Dogs stood 0-1 in district and 5-3 on the year. The second district out­ ing for the Bulldogs was more pleas­ ant, breezing to a 6-0 win over Min­ eral Wells. Smokey Burgess was the w inning pitcher and Donnie K ing provided the hitting for the Bulldogs.

The Dogs were 1-1 in district and 6-3 on the year. In the next game, Gra­ ham found the pitching of Smokey Burgess tough as Burk w ent on to win 3-0. V ernon th e n dropped an important district clash to the Bull­ dogs. The Dogs were 3-1 in district.

The Roos and the Dogs then bat­ tled it out for the first half champion­ ship, and when the game was over the Roos had a sound 12-1 victory.

Only four days after the first meet­ ing betw een these team s, Smokey Burgess held the Roos hitless until the sixth inning. Je ff Baber, Kenny Park, Donnie King, and Ted Robert­ son all contributed to Burk runs as Burk downed Weatherford for a 3-0 victory and 1-0 second half record.

A gainst M ineral Wells th e Dogs exploded for four first inning runs and went on to win 7-1.

The Dogs then played a first half game th a t had previously been can­ celled because of the April 10 tor­ nado. They crunched Hirschi 9-0 in this game.

The Dogs improved th e ir second half record to 3-0 with a 2-0 victory over the Graham Steers.

The Hawks fell victim of the Bull­ dog crunch n e x t as th e y w ere defeated 8-7.

Burk clinched their fourth straight district title with a 7-5 victory over Vernon. Donnie King’s eighth inning homer was all the Bulldogs needed to start the celebration of another dis­ trict championship. In a game th a t had no bearing on the district race, the Bulldogs were defeated bv Hirs­ chi 7-4.

The Bulldogs then traveled to Sny­ der for the first playoff game. The Dogs were error-prone, though, as they lost the first game 3-2. The sec­ ond game played a t Burk’s home field was close in the early goings but in th e la tte r p a rt S nyder cam e on strong, defeating the Bulldogs 9-1.

No third game was necessary. Burk finished th e year w ith a fine 15-6 record.

Seniors Find Leaving Not So Easy The senior class of 1980 has had an unforgettable year. There were many things to keep us busy: ordering senior pictures, caps and gowns, and invitations, homecoming, meetings, taking the SAT and ACT tests, and the prom. Then there were the endless hours spent carefully choosing the right college and considering w hat to do with our lives.

We spent days in the counselor’s office filling out college entrance applications and financial aid forms.

Finally, when the day of graduation arrived, we found th a t leaving Burk High wasn’t as easy as we expected, but we were anxious to find w hat the days of the new decade would bring to us.

Juniors Host Spring Prom

Our Junior year is always the busiest, and this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior class proved to be no exception. Each week they sponsored dances. I t was left up to the junior class officers to find a D.J. and enough chaperones. The big fund-raising project for the juniors was the annual candy sales. The money collected from this sale was used to host a Jr.-Sr. Prom. Then, there were lighter moments when they ordered their class rings in September. Finally, after three months of eagerly aw aiting the arrival of their rings, they felt a bit closer to their last, special year of high school.

Sophomore Float Takes First

Many have said th a t the sophomore year is the hardest year in high school. They endure countless hours of biology, geometry, and English.

But, the sophomores of 1980 proved that they could put their best foot forward and surge ahead to win the homecoming float contest. Many hours were put into their float preparations, but in the end all the hard work paid off. Keeping this in mind, the sophomore class of 1980 is looking forward to a much easier and exciting junior year.

Freshmen Adapt to Newness Being a freshman was both a frightening and exciting experience.

Freshmen were always on guard about being harassed by their upperclassmen. Frequently “fish” were seen pushing pennies or washing the bulldog in senior hall.

They had to adjust to a new school, new teachers, and six classes instead of seven. Then there was the excitement of their first pep rally, their first class meeting, and, of course, homecoming. In spite of it all, they soon felt a t home. They joined clubs and became active in various activities of the school. Before they realized it, the freshman class of 1980 had completed their first year of high school and were eagerly awaiting their next three years, hoping th a t the next years would be as exciting but not as frightening as the first.
