Elections Filled With Fun and Hardwork Since this was an election year, stu ­ dents couldn’t help but get in cam­ paigning for their favorite candidates.

Besides the campaigning, students in Mrs. Alicia Nemecek’s A.P. civics classes had the chance to meet many political figures from both parties.

They attended a birthday party for Jack Hightower; a luncheon with Eddie Chiles; and a breakfast with first lady Rosalyn Carter. All in all, the month before the election was filled with fun, hard work, and quite a bit of political argument.

Registration Marks a New Beginning The time was August 10. Students started lining up at the registration desk. The first to go were the newstudents, athletes, band, and drill team. The aggravating, slow process of enrollment had begun.

Seniors had to spend more time at the registration desks because they had the tedious job of making a whole schedule for themselves and signing up for classes. T h e ir ju n io r, sophomore, and freshman friends, whose schedules had already been prepared, were spared this chore.

Each student then went to check out books in the school library. The upperclassmen were trying to become accustomed to the new changes in the library as well as to the idea of not having assigned lockers. After enroll­ ing, students had a week to become accustomed to the idea of going back to school once more.

8:40 and We’re Off

School days at Burkburnett have always been pleasurable. The day usually starts with freshmen and sophomores tripping off their buses rubbing sleep out of their eyes.

Juniors and seniors always seem to be arriving later and looking much more aw ak e. In th e su m m e r, th e underclassmen usually spent their time before school outside, while in the winter, they went to class early.

Juniors and seniors gathered in Senior Hall to discuss the latest gossip and their newest English assignment.

By 8:40, everyone had to be in class, and the school day was official­ ly started.

In the five m inutes between classes, there was always something going on. Students would talk about how hard their new assignments were going to be, or run down the hall so th at they wouldn’t be tardy.

By the time 3:30 rolled around, students, as well as teachers, were ready to go home. However, their was a slight change in going home. The freshmen and sophomores always seemed more energetic at the end of the day, while the juniors and seniors seemed ready to take a nap to escape their chemistry, math, and English assignments.

The pep rallies were the best part of Fridays at BHS. Not only did they give Bulldog fans a chance to cheer on their favorite team, but they also meant getting out of sixth hour early and possibly having double lunches.

The big gym was decorated with the dashing orange and black combina­ tion. Raising the roof off the big gym at 3:00 every Friday before the game has been a tradition at BHS, and this year was no exception. From mighty senior yells to freshman squeals, everybody felt the excitement th a t vibrated through the rally. The band shook the floor as they played the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fight song, the Horse, and the exciting Bulldog Spellout.

Homecoming Goes Worldwide T he th em e for th is y e a r ’s homecoming parade was “I t’s a Small World.” About the third week of September classes held meetings to discuss possible countries for their floats. After coming up with various ideas about which country to do, the seniors chose Holland; the juniors, Mexico; the sophomores, Japan; and the freshmen, Italy.

Next the class president had to come up with a basic design for their float. From that design he had to figure out what materials to order without going over the $200 allotted each class. The class presidents also had the added responsibility of open­ ing and closing the building where their float was built and keeping order among their classmates.

During the week before homecoming, students put in many hours working on their floats. Construction began at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 28. It con­ tinued through the week from 6:00-10:00 Monday through Wednesday, with final work being completed whenever the classes were done Thursday.

To add to the color of the homecoming parade, students decorated cars to carry club officers and interested members.

Some of the cars were picked up at Mathis at 1:00 on the afternoon of the parade. Students then had until 1:30 to do the basic decorating of their cars and trucks. At 1:30 the cars were to be in their designated places for the start of the parade.

Homecoming

Just like any other day, the buses pulled up to school and students piled out looking forward to seeing their friends. Cars steadily filled the parking lot. This day was different, however.

It was September 3, homecoming day.

Later that morning, cheers could be heard through the halls as the students conducted a morning pep rally in the gym for the football players who would meet Dallas’ Bishop Lynch later th a t night.

Students were dismissed th a t after­ noon at 2:30 to view the long-awaited parade. After a week of float prepara­ tion, which took up many of the students’ evenings, everybody was eager to see their class float and the results of their hard work move down the street.

A large crowd had gathered for the parade which went down Sheppard Road and onto East Third Street where it passed the judges’ reviewing stand.

Every entry was introduced to the crowd.

The tunes of the Bulldog marching band carried through the air as the parade entries, including clowns, decorated cars and trucks, and floats that were made by community and school organizations, moved down the street.

After the parade, many students of BHS got ready for an early dinner with their dates. Homecoming mums and meetings parents were on just about everybody’s agenda.

An enormous crowd filled the Bulldog Stadium. As the band and drill team marched in, the float en­ tries were driven around the field and the winners were announced. The sophomore float won first place with the freshman float placing second and the senior float coming in third.

The juniors’ float placed last.

At half time the Bulldog Band along with the Boomtown Babes formed a crown on the field as Marcella Thom pson was named queen. To add to the excitement of the day, the Bulldogs OrangeCrushed Dallas’ Bishop Lynch and sent the Friars home with a 13 to 0 loss.

To celebrate their victory, many students danced to the beat of Mr. Disco at the youth center. Good night kisses, with mums and memories put away, wound up a long day.

Sadie Hawkins Week

Much of the school year goes by at the same pace with not much break in the routine. When Sadie Hawkins week was observed this year, students went all out.

On Monday, students dressed in red, white, and blue because it was patriotic day. Tuesday was the most popular day as students dressed in their western clothes.

Wednesday was the day to distinguish between classes; the freshmen wore funny hats and socks, sophomores dressed as clowns, juniors were bums, and seniors were the athletes. Thursday was back­ wards day, and there were some strange outfits then. Friday was Sadie Hawkins day, and girls had the chance to marry their dream guy because Marryin’ Sam was present and ready to perform the cer­ emony for a slight fee.

There were also plenty of games in the mornings for students to participate in such as the “marshmallow stuff,” the “orange between the knees” race, the “who can blow the biggest bubble” race, and the all-favorite — the tricycle race.

All-in-all, the week of February 9-13 proved to be an exciting break from everyday school life.

To the freshman, dating seemed to be something reserved until they turned sixteen. A few reasons for this were that there are some parents who won’t let them date, and the boys don’t have jobs to provide money for dates nor cars or a driver’s license.

To most of the junior and senior students dating was a favorite week­ end activity. Most of these students enjoyed going out to dinner and then to a movie.

The night would usually begin with the young man picking up the girl at her house and meeting her parents.

Then the couple would head for Wichita Falls to one of its more for­ mal restaurants (such as the Pelican, McBrides, O’Phelan’s, or Red Lob­ ster) for a candle-lit dinner. If they were in a hurry they could stop a t Mr. Gattis for a pizza.

Then it was on to see a movie. The two most popular spots were Parker Square’s P litt Cinema and Sikes Senter’s Six Theaters. Our students enjoyed watching movies like “Xanadu,” “Brubaker,” “Friday the 13th,” “Smokey and the Bandit-2,” “Private Eyes,” “The Empire Strikes Back,” and “Urban Cowboy.”

BHS students also enjoyed taking their dates to football games, dances, Homecoming, Prom, and concerts.

This winter tours through Midwest­ ern’s Fantasy of Lights were a favor­ ite time filler.

On the way home, the couple could talk over the evening’s events. They could stop at the Sonic and get cokes and ride around the drag for a few minutes if they had enough time.

Then it was back to the girl’s house where good night kisses would end the evening.

Standing around the lockers in sen­ ior hall before school started seemed to be the favorite morning activity at BHS. Many of the students talked with friends or hurriedly finished last night’s homework.

In between classes, students would meet each other a t their lockers to swap notes and share the latest gos­ sip. Some could be caught a t the candy machine sneaking a snack between classes to avoid the hungries.

After school was the favorite part of the day for most students. If they could finish their homework in time and didn’t have to work, they would go out to the mall or ride the drag with friends. Some could be found at the Sonic or at K en’s sipping cokes and shooting the breeze.

Lunches were divided into three periods; first lunch started a t 12:00, second at 12:30, and third lunch at 1:00. At first it was confusing, but after a while, everybody had their schedule figured out.

At the sound of the bell, it was a mad rush to get over to the cafeteria.

Some people had to stand in line for ten minutes to get a tray. On ham ­ burger days the cafeteria was the most crowded. There was a lot of pushing and shoving in the line. The boys usually gobbled their food and hurried outside to play tag football on the west side of the campus.

Many upperclassmen took advan­ tage of the open campus policy and left with their friends to eat lunch elsewhere in town.

The local restaurants were often crowded and after they ordered their food, they would often have to wait ten to fifteen minutes to be served.

Sometimes this m eant eating lunch on the way back to school.

Student Money

Students can always find some­ thing to spend money on. For instance, the boys usually spend money on stereo systems and cars but the girls usually spent their money on clothes.

The past year has put a lot of stu­ dents in a pinch for gas money. Since the beginning of the school year, gas­ oline has gone up in price almost a quarter. So riding around on the drag has to be limited to weekends most of the time.

School activities can also put a pinch on a student’s pocketbook. For example, juniors usually spend an average of a hundred and fifty dollars on class rings. Seniors also felt a slight pinch as they ordered invita­ tions, caps, and gowns. Those seniors taking college entrance exams had to pay slight fees of around eight dollars.

Dating also posed a money prob­ lem. During homecoming boys had to buy spend almost thirty dollars on mums.

Most students went all out for prom night. The young men had to rent tuxedoes and buy flowers. The young ladies had to buy evening gowns. After dinner was bought, the whole event ended up costing quite a bit.

A Car — A Most teenagers look forward to the time they will get their own car. At first they are able to borrow the fam ­ ily car, but after they learn th a t they have to do special favors for their p ar­ ents in return for the use of it, they tend to want a car of their own.

Most teenagers find part-tim e jobs and start saving those hard-earned paychecks th a t always seemed few and far between. It took months to save for the down payment. After that came years of car payments.

When you first got your new car, you went out every chance you got to show it off. You took all of your friends out for rides and you became their newly-elected driver.

Riding around on the drag during the weekends was always the popular activity. Meeting your friends out usually m eant getting in one car and going to Wichita to see some new faces. It was always a lot of fun with friends.

Not only did most of us make car payments, but we also spent a lot of money fixing up our cars. Stereos were a must. If you had an amplifier and equalizer, th a t made your car even better. Some of the guys put mags on their cars. Others got dual exhausts to make their cars sound louder. Everybody wanted his car to look best, inside as well as out.

Crushed velvet became a popular interior material as did shag carpet­ ing.

Holidays

Holidays, however special, were made more special by school-related activities.

Although we didn’t really celebrate Hal­ loween because there was a football game that night, it was very memorable because the seniors got a treat on their last home game — the Bulldogs won.

Thanksgiving was celebrated with the “Mr. Turkey Legs” contest. Class presi­ dents had pictures of their legs taken and students voted at a penny a vote for the legs of their choice. Tim Cornelius had the honor of being crowned “Mr. Turkey Legs.”

Although, as usual, there was no snow, Christmas was still celebrated with much spirit. There were door decorating con­ tests sponsored by the Student Council.

The National Honor Society sold 3000 candy canes which were delivered by Santa Claus and his helpers. The last day before vacation, ended with a StudentFaculty basketball game sponsored by the N.H.S. On Valentine’s day, students received suckers, carnations, Lov-O-Grams, and wooden hearts all sold by Student Coun­ cil. There was the usual excitem ent on that day as people found out about secret admirers and received acknowledgement of friendships. All of these events made school more enjoyable during the rest of the year.

Business Classes Are Popular Whether a student took a business class because he wanted to learn a skill, to receive elective credit, or to prepare for a career, he found th a t he had obtained to some degree, marketable knowledge.

Typing and bookkeeping were the most popular classes offered. Time writings, tabs, and debits became familiar to students taking these classes.

Some of the other classes were shorthand, business, law, business math, and business management and organization.

H.E.C.E. classes meet first and fourth hours. Each chose officers for the year. In first period they were President — Brenda Minors, Secretary-Treasurer — Steve Kennedy, Reporter — Paul Dickson. Fourth hour officers were President — Missy Birchfield, Vice-President — Roger Crago, Secretary-Treasurer — Susan Liffick, Reporter — Kellye Witt. first Row: P a u l D ick son , M ick ey P adron, S te v e K en n ed y, C lifton H u ck a b ee, C layton white.

Cooking Popularity Grows While there are only four guys in sew­ ing, about 70% of the students in the food classes are guys.

When the teachers of home economics were asked, “To what do you attribute the interest of guys in taking this course” they answered, “Because it is fun and the students get to eat what they cook.”

Although students bake a number of delicious recipes, the favorites in the classes are taco salad and spaghetti.

There are many complications in baking and one of the problems that a lot of stu­ dents have is making a pie crust.

In sewing students make at least three garments each semester. The favorite pat­ tern in sewing is the sweat suit. Several students have trouble with hems and deli­ cate trims that have to be hand sewn.

Students will benefit from these courses long after they graduate.

Cosmetologists Prepare for Future Unlike other students, Cosmetol­ ogy students began their day with a trip to Carter’s School of Beauty in Wichita Falls. While there, they learned all aspects of the trade in this two-year course.

During the first year these students studied nutrition and anatomy to learn how to enhance a person’s appearance.

However, they spent the second year of the program performing actual beautician’s work. These stu­ dents learned to manicure nails, wash, cut, set, and style hair, and give facials and wax treatments.

Once the course was completed, cosmetology students were eligible to apply for a license from the State Board.

Driving — a Popular Class

Because cars and driving are so im portant to high school students, Driver’s Education is one of the most popular and waited-for classes. The future is often measured by “how long it is before I get my Driver’s license.”

This course is divided into two parts. In the first part the students learn about road signs, driving rules, and defensive driving. When this part is completed, the students are eligible to take the written section of the Department of Public Safety driving test, passing this test makes the stu­ dent eligible for a beginner’s license.

Armed with this new license, the student begins to accumulate six hours of driving and six hours of observing. When these hours are suc­ cessfully completed, the student takes the long-awaited driving test and returns home with a temporary but greatly cherished driver’s license.

PE — A Healthful Challenge

With the current nationwide interest in physical fitness and health, it is easy to see why two years in this area are required for graduation. In physical education classes students learned how to cooperate on a team and how to rely on themselves in an individual sport like tennis. In health, a semester of which is required, students learn about diseases and their treatment. They also study a unit on foods so they would understand what is necessary for a healthy body.

Student Art is Unique

Art was a popular elective that allowed the students to use their cre­ ativity and talents. Although the stu­ dents worked on the same forms, the outcome of each piece of work was different and unique.

Painting, sketching, and making pottery were just a few of the differ­ ent types of art taught. For students who enjoyed their first year of art, two upper level classes were also offered.

Industrial Art Offered for Two Years

i

With such tools as a pencil, ruler, “T” square, French curves, and compasses, students in first-year industrial arts learned the basics of lettering, construct­ ing boxes, hexagons, multi-view drawings, and sectional views. Students in secondyear industrial arts found it much more difficult than their first year. These stu­ dents took an in-depth study of architec­ tural drawing. The main purpose was to design a complete set of house plans which included a foundation, floor plan, four elevation views, a wall section view, plumbing, roof and electrical schemes.

They also accounted for the total amount of bricks, roofing, paneling, sheet rock, and boards needed to build the house.

Although it took a lot of time to perfect a drawing, students were proud of the results.

Builders Complete Eighth House

Building Trades students spend three hours each day actually performing the skills of their trade. By the time they have completed the two-year course, they have worked on all phases of constructing two houses. This is the eighth year the class built and sold a house. This year’s threebedroom house will sell for approximately

$50,000.

In building the house, the students began their work by choosing a blueprint.

Then the students lined up building sites and began to set forms. They also had other jobs to do such as pouring the con­ crete, framing the house, installing the sheetrock, and shingling the roof. To fin­ ish up, the students installed doors, cabi­ nets, and windows. However, their work was still not completed; they also had to help install all types of fixtures in the house.

This course, which is limited to juniors and seniors, is offered for two years, but may be taken for only one. Mr. Dave Brewer feels that this class is beneficial in training students for the industrial world.

Mechanics Class Leads to Careers

For three hours each day, Auto Mechanics students learned the maintenance, repair, and operation of car engines. Each student m ust have had some basic math, mechanical ability, and be a junior or senior to qualify for this course.

The students First learned names and functions of parts in class and then were allowed to work on the engines individually. The students got to work a t their own rates so th a t they were sure to learn the correct procedures. Finally, as their ultim ate challenge, they totally rebuilt an engine. Once their training was fin­ ished, they were qualified as appren­ tice mechanics and were ready to begin a career.

Stock Shows

BHS has always had a strong voca­ tional agriculture program due to Burkburnett’s strong agricultural background. This year was no excep­ tion.

Studies covered a broad area of farming including such subjects as welding, farm maintenance, and plant and animal science. Ag students p ar­ ticipated in many stock shows in this area and several th at were as far away as Houston and San Antonio.

Preparing for these shows was a time-consuming process of fattening, cleaning, and grooming the animals.

Students washed and dried the chick­ ens and lambs and painted the hooves of steers.

Vo-Ag students also participated in many fund-raising projects this year.

These included selling such things as sausages, turkeys, and oranges. They used this money to buy medicine for sick animals and to purchase stock show supplies.

Math Challenging to All Whether students wished to learn the basics of algebra or the complex­ ities of trigonometry, they had many choices open to them through the math department. Writing proofs, solving for variables, and factoring binomials were just a few of the problems taught to the basic m ath students.

However, the advanced m ath s tu d e n ts w ere p ro v id ed m ore challenging problems th a t involved calcu latin g lo g arith m s, solving spherical triangles, and figuring the sine of the inverse cosine of a negative one.

Even before school began, annual staff members found th at preparing an annual took more time and skill than they had imagined. In June they attended a three-day workshop at MSU. Here they learned about such things as bleeds, cropping, cut-lines, body copy, and th a t ever-present nightmare - deadlines.

In September the staff sold ads, selected a theme for the book, and chose sections they would be respon­ sible for completing. Then the time, marked by four deadlines, began to pass all too quickly. Near a deadline, rooms 16 and 17 were active with anxious staffers writing and typing la s t- m in u te copy, i d e nt i f yi ng students in pictures, and checking to be sure all necessary details were on their pages. Pages for the first deadline were sent just before Thanksgiving.

In early December members were busy selling annuals. Before they could truly say they were “out for Christmas,” they had to have pages ready for another deadline.

The third deadline was met at semester and finally, after working on a few Saturdays, holidays, and test days, the last pages were finished in late February. For awhile the staff could relax. But all too soon work on Presentation began.

When the annuals were finally delivered in May, the staff members felt all their hard work had paid off.

Speech and Drama Aid Communication Ideas are worthless unless they can be easily understood by others. The speech departm ent helped students to communicate their thoughts and ideas clearly. They learned how to speak clearly, use hand gestures and utilize eye contact to accomplish this goal. The students learned several types of speeches such as extempora­ neous where the speaker is only given a short time to prepare for a speech, and impromptu where the speaker is given no time to prepare. The stu ­ dents also learned how to prepare for and participate in debates. All of these techniques allowed the students to learn and improve their communi­ cation skills by actively participating in the class.

In addition, the drama departm ent was busy once again this year. They performed several shows for the com­ munity as well as special presenta­ tions for the local elementary schools.

Other shows were “Pandora and the Magic Box” and “A Night of OneActs” where students did four one-act plays for their audience.

Along with performing the plays, the students were taught application of stage make-up, evaluation of plays, scene construction, and even script writing and directing.

Choir students participated in several UIL events this year. These students went through a rigorous round of auditions in which first the All-District, AllRegion, TMEA Area, and TMEA state choirs were chosen. At the state level, the students who competed were from all over the state, most from 5-AAAAA schools. By the time the students had reached this level of competition, they had to have “beaten out” thousands of other students. For the first time in BHS his­ tory, the choir had one student make this organization, Dennis Young. Others competing in other levels were Andrea Davis, Andrea Weakely, Michelle Nixon, M elinda Higgins, Greg Pittm an, Dennis Young, Kathy Fullerton, Jimmy Upchurch, and Kristine Carpenter.

In addition to this, the choir has competed in the UIL Solo and Ensemble con­ test. Out of fourteen entries, ten made a superior “ 1” rating. Ten of the choir members who competed were eligible to go to state UIL Solo and Ensemble con­ test in Austin on June 6.

The choir madrigal, a group of nine students, has performed for the School Masters, the Women’s Forum, and in Carolyn Gray’s Christmas program. They also presented a Christmas concert and a spring concert.

The choir also performed in the UIL Concert and Sightreading contest in March.

Under the guid­ ance of Mr. Charles Gregory and the two drum majors — Jeanne Lake and Susan Brumfield, the band formed rotating rectangles, arcs, diamonds, and various other intricate drills while playing “Veracruz,” “Rainbow Connection,” “Hot Stuff,” and “White Shadow.”

However, the most im portant event of marching season was marching contest. After the band performed to the best of their ability, they had to sit patiently and wait for their per­ formance to be rated. As usual the voice from the loudspeaker announced “Burkburnett — 1” (superior).

After marching season ended, try­ outs for Symphonic and Concert Band began. When the first semester ended, the two bands got down to the business of practicing for contest in April.

Two Years of Science Required

Science courses offer a variety of learning techniques. All graduates are required to have a t least two years of science — physical science as a freshm an and biology as a sophomore. The physical science course teaches the basics of science and gives a general overview of the science field. Biology is a much more specific course which includes the dissection of frogs and grasshoppers as well as drawing a m ultitude of diagrams.

After a student has had two re­ quired science classes, he has the op­ tion of taking chemistry and physics.

In chemistry one learns the many principles of this field of science and also p articipates in m any ex ­ periments. For a fourth year of science, one takes the physics course.

In this class the students concentrate heavily on the mechanics of m atter with the aide of the Dr. Harvey E. White films. It is clear th at any stu ­ dent who desires a basic understan­ ding of these sciences will receive it from these courses.

To increase their knowledge and understanding in the world of jour­ nalism, members of the Spirit staff participated in two workshops and went on a tour. The first workshop was in August at the University of Texas in Arlington. While there, Lin­ da Sparkman, editor, received second place in editorial writing. Later in the month, members toured the Times and Record News building, Nortex Printing, and the KAUZ television station.

In O ctober they w ent to a newspaper workshop at Midwestern State University. From these ex­ periences, the journalists learned various writing techniques, different layout designs, and now feature ideas. W ith this knowledge they created a monthly paper.

Production of the paper included thinking of new ideas for stories, writing and rewriting, selling ads, re­ questing pictures, typing copy, and preparing layout sheets. Once the layouts were completed, they were sent to Nortex Printers in Wichita Falls. Then the task of creating another issue began again.

Semesters Kill Minis English classes for juniors and seniors changed with the return to the semester system. Mini-courses formerly offered for the quarter system were discontinued.

Although only three years of English are required for graduation, most BHS students take four years so that they can be better prepared for college.

Regardless of classification of a student, he found his year full of c o m p o s itio n , g r a m m a r , a n d literature. Romeo and J u liet was studied by the freshmen while the seniors were further exposed to Shakespeare through M acbeth. The junior year was designated as the year for research papers and The Red Badge of Courage. Sophomores will remember a heavy dose of grammar and Animal Farm.

Communication was the key word.

The skills of learning to communicate effectively and to receive com­ munication clearly were critical in English class.

Foreign Language Study Encouraged

The study of foreign language is im portant when communicating with people from other countries. The languages offered were German, French, and Spanish. The basics of vocabulary and grammar were taught in each of the language classes.

Second-year courses were also of­ fered for those students who had already taken a first-year course.

College-bound students were urged to take a foreign language before get­ ting out of high school.

Those who became interested in learning more about a particular language than presented in class could join a language club.

Regardless of the reason for study­ ing another language, students found th a t their knowledge advanced ties between America and other countries.

Eight Attend Boys’ and Girls’ State

ACK: Dean Gilmore, Tom Pezanosky, and James Schnitker. FRONT: Sid Chambers, John rinevich.

Near the end of the 1980 school year, 5 boys and 3 girls were selected to attend Boys’ and Girls’ State. The teachers nominated and voted for students who showed scholarship, character, ambition, leadership, and amiability. The students who won the teachers’ nominations were inter­ viewed by the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary, who then made the final decision of who would receive this honor.

Girls’ State was held at Texas Lutheran College in Denton from June 10-20, and Boys’ State was held a t the University of Texas in Austin from June 7-13.

The purpose of these annual governm ental conferences is to “educate our youth in the duties, privileges, rights, and responsibilities of American citizenship.” Delegates organized their own city, county, and state government offices. They learn­ ed the duties of these offices and in­ troduced and argued their own bills in a legislature.

They also listened to lectures by persons such as the University of Texas football coach Fred Akers, Speaker of the House Bill Clayton, and Governor Bill Clements. The ex­ perience and knowledge these students gained is valuable to them as well as to their school and community.

Faculty Selects

Each year the teachers of each academic department select twelve seniors for the honor of Who’s Who. For this honor certain qualifications first had to be met. The student had to display citizenship, the ability to work with students and faculty, and enthusiasm in that course. In addition, the student had to be active in that department and maintain at least a 3.0 grade average. Those chosen were honored at Presentation in April.

After playing college football, SID CHAMBERS plans to play football professionally.

He attributes his size and strength and his coaches and friends to his success in athletics.

JOANIE HASTINGS plans to study math in college but does not know if she will pur­ sue math as a profession. She feels her interest in math helped her excell in this field.

The background in science that JAMES SCHNITKER received will definitely be of great value to him as he continues his study of this subject in college and medical school.

He attributes his success in this area to the facilities in the science department and to his teachers.

LORA ROSS, although planning to study journalism in college, still plans to stay involved in speech and drama. She attributes her success in this area to “all of the partici­ pants in speech and drama since there are no individual awards in this field.”

Cheerleaders Get New Look This year’s varsity cheerleaders, chosen by the student body in spring of 1980, were Marcella Thompson, head cheerleader, Tiffany Alvey, Michael Lary, Mary Pert, Cathy Pezanosky, and Liz Williams. Junior varsity cheerleaders were Vicki Dilks, head cheerleader, Tonda Sparks, Damara McCoy, Darla Bilyeu, Cindy Sims, and Tanya Dilger.

They attended camp a t Texas Christian University July 21-25. At camp they received three superior ribbons and two excellent ones. They also taught a camp at the Burk Com­ munity Center July 28 through August 1. They added the money to their cheerleader fund. After a week’s rest, they started practicing every day for two weeks before school started. During school they practiced every day sixth hour.

This year the appearance of the cheerleaders changed in two major ways. First, the group included a male cheerleader for the first time since the early sixties.

Secondly, the uniforms were quite different from previous years. They chose to purchase two-piece black velveteen outfits. The uniforms were versatile; they could be worn through cold and hot weather alike. The outfits included sleeveless tops to which long sleeves with orange satin insets could be attached as the tem peratures dropped. Michael had a white shirt and velveteen pants with a black satin stripe going down the outside of each pant leg.

This group worked extremely hard all year long keeping the spirit going. Dur­ ing football season they cheered at the games and pep rallies, keeping the crowd’s spirit high. They decorated the football players’ lockers and baked goodies for them. During basketball season they went to all the games to support the players.

This year’s mascot, selected by the Student Council, was Lisa Turnbull. She added a lot of spirit a t the pep rallies with her skits as “Super Bulldog!”

Drill team tryouts were very tough.

First, each girl had to meet a certain weight limit. They were given a chart in­ dicating how much they should weigh according to their height and bone structure. Second, each girl had to do the splits on at least one leg. Third, each girl was required to kick her height five times on each leg. Finally, if all these re­ quirements were met, each girl had to try out and be judged for gracefulness and showmanship.

With top performers picked, the drill team danced its way to success for the third straight year. To keep their outstanding two-year record going, these girls practiced long hard hours during the summer as well as during first hour each school day. They atten d ­ ed a private camp at the Burk Com­ munity Center which was instructed by Sonja Clay, an ex-majorette at Burk High. The camp lasted from July 28 to August 1, from 12:30 to 9:00 p.m. Two weeks before school started, they began to polish the routines learned at camp.

They performed during halftime at the football games. One of their outstanding numbers was a ladder routine performed to “The Ropers.”

In the stands and at pep rallies, the Babes demonstrated more talent by flashing their new shimmering silver pom pons to the band’s music and to the cheers. To be able to perform every Friday night, each drill team member had to constantly keep working. They still had to weigh in every Tuesday before the game. They were also given red marks as Mrs. Owen saw the need. If they received five marks, they were benched for th a t game.

After football season they prepared for the state drill team contest. They also attended the Christmas Parade in Iowa Park and sang Christmas carols for the teachers.

This year’s officers were Tracy Thigpen, captain; Kim Kolterman, Christy Pruett, Nikki Combs, Janna H am ilto n , an d D onna M ilke, lieutenants. Their sponsor was again Mrs. Anita Owen.

Stuco Has

This year has been a busy one for STUCO. They sponsored a variety of activities such as a pie-eating contest, Sadie Hawkin’s Week, and Potpourri.

During Sadie Hawkin’s week each day had a different theme. For instance, on patriotic day students wore red, white, and blue; on cowboy day, they wore west­ ern style clothing. Another day was one on which each class dressed to their own theme. The freshmen had Hat and Sock Day, the Sophomores dressed as clowns, the juniors as bums, and the seniors as athletes. On Thursday of that week stu­ dents were asked to wear their clothes backwards. The climax of the week was Sadie Hawkins’ Day; the style of clothing was, of course, that of Dogpatch.

STUCO sold many items to go with each holiday season. At the beginning of the school year they sold class T-shirts. At Christmas they sold carols; these were for people in our community. STUCO mem­ bers sang three or four songs at each house. All through football season they sold orange and black cowboy hats.

GAINESVILLE 24 BURK BURNETT 3 The Bulldogs gave the Leopards a tough battle out of their season opener. Scoring first on a 33-yard field goal by Richard Rarick, the Bulldogs were close through three quarters and were only behind 6-3. Then Gainesville took advantage of mistakes by Burkburnett to take a 24-3 win.

DUNCAN 18 BU RK BURNETT 13 With the Demons scoring on their second possession of the game on a 61-yard drive, the Bulldogs were down 6-0. The Dogs came back to knot the score on a 7-yard pass from quarterback John Ruggles to Bob Middle. Before the half, Ruggles scored to give the Bulldogs a 13-6 halftime lead. But in the second half the Demons had the breaks go their way to take the victory.

BURK BURNETT 14 IOWA PARK 7 The Bulldogs get their first victory in a non-district clash with a district foe. The Hawks scored late in the first quarter to take a 7-0 lead. In the second quarter with the Hawks at their own 19-yard line, David Dzurnak intercepted a first-down pass at the Hawk 20 and returned it to the 15. Quarterback Kevin Keene picked up a first down at the two, and in the next play hit Middle in the endzone for the tying score. In the second half on third down from the Hawk 38, Keene hit Tim Plummer with a pass to the 11. Two plays later Dennis Johnstonbaugh scored the winning touchdown, and Rarickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kick was good. Burkburnettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense controlled the rest of the game to secure the victory.

BU R K BU R N ETT 13 DALLAS BISHOP LYNCH 0 Following a touchdown by Frank Moehnke on an interception early in the first quarter, the Bulldogs used a scrappy defense and two field goals by Rarick to even their season record at 2-2 on Homecoming night.

LAWTON HIGH 18 BURKBURNETT 17 .

The Bulldogs controlled the first half, and the Wolverines controlled the second halt.

After a scoreless first quarter, the Bulldogs capped a 49-yard drive with a Rarick 35-yard field goal to take a 3-0 lead. Stopping Lawton twice more, the Dogs scored two touchdowns, an 8-yard pass from Keene to Johnstonbaugh and a 13-yard pass from Keene to M iddle, to take 17-0 halftime lead. But the second half was a different story. The Wolverines scored two touchdowns, one followed by a 2-point conversion, and a field goal to snatch the victory.

GRAHAM 19 BURKBURNETT 10 Taking an early 3-0 lead, the Bulldogs stayed close throughout the contest. After Graham scored a TD for a 6-3 lead, the Dogs scored on a 60-yard run by Don Thornhill to take their last lead of the game at 10-6 following Rarick’s PAT. Before the half, the Steers scored again to take a 13-10 halftime lead. With the defense and turnovers prevailing in the second half, the Bulldogs had a final chance. Quarterback Todd Cadwallader went to the air with one minute remaining. After completions to Bruce Burks and Thornhill, the Dogs were on the Graham 30. A Steer intercepted the next pass and raced 79 yards for the final tally.

HIRSCHI28 BURKBURNETT 20 Plagued by turnovers in the first half, the Bulldogs fell behind 15-0 at the half. Following a Huskie interception of a Cadwallader pass, the Hirschi offense took it for a touchdown on the first play to make the score 21-0. Quickly the Bulldogs returned the com plim ent on Johnstonbaugh’s 33-yard run to make the score 21-6. A punt return for a touchdown by the Huskies made the score 28-6, but the Bulldogs would not give up. In less than four m inutes, Burkburnett scored two touchdowns with the aid of an onside kick. Phillip Dowling scored the first from two yards out, and Thornhill scored from one and added the 2-point conver­ sion to make the score 28-20 with 1:12 left in the game. Rarick’s next attem pt at an onside kick failed, and the Dogs lost to the eventual district champs.

BURK BURNETT 14 MINERAL WELLS 6 The Bulldogs gave the Rams a quick lead by fumbling away the opening kickoff at the Burkburnett 14. But during the remainder of the game, the Mineral Wells offense could enter Bulldog territory twice. In the second quarter, Burkburnett had the ball on the Ramsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 31 where Ruggles found Plummer in the end zone for the TD. Later, Cadwallader connected with Middle from the four with 14 seconds left in the half. Rarick added both PA Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and the Dogs owned a 14-6 halftime advantage. The second half was a defensive struggle as the Bulldogs won their only district game.

VERNON 17 BURK BUR NETT 14 The Bulldogs spotted the Lions three points in the first quarter, but overshadowed it by two second quarter touchdowns. Failing to convert on a Dzurnak fumble recovery at the Lion 14, the defense forced another fumble, which Moehnke recovered at the 10. On second down, Cadwallader threw to Middle for the TD, and Rarick added the PAT. After Moehnke made his second recovery of a Lion fumble, Cadwallader hit Middle again from the two. Rarick again added the PAT, and the Dogs led 14-3 at halftime, but the Lions controlled the second half scoring two touchdowns to win 17-14.

IOWA PARK 18 BURK BURNETT 0 The Bulldogs never really were in this ballgame from the start. Unable to move the ball, the Dogs fell behind 9-0 at the half, and the Hawks added 9 more points in the second half as they avenged an earlier loss to the Bulldogs 18-0. Burkburnett finished the year at 1-4 in district play and 3-7 on the year.

The JV made Bulldog history by defeating all W ichita Falls teams this year, including two victories over both Hirschi and Rider. The JV won other games over Vernon and Iowa P ark and lost to Vernon, Graham, and M ineral Wells. W ith many of these players moving up to varsity next year, the varsity team should be tough com petition in D istrict 3-4A.

Volleyball Nets .500 The volleyball team broke even this year with a record of eight wins and eight losses. They did well in tournament play, capturing a third place trophy in the Graham tourna­ ment and another third-place trophy in the Vernon Regional Junior Col­ lege Tournament.

They started district play with a 6-5 record. In the first half of district competition, the volleyball team lost to both Graham and Vernon, in the second half of district competition, the Bulldogs lost again to Graham, but they gained revenge by beating Vernon for their final game of the season.

The team had two outstanding players make the all-district team; Kim Hunter, as a senior setter, and Tammy Kee, as a junior spiker.

Although the JV volleyball team was full of new-comers and players inexperienced in competition, they produced a fair year with a season record of 6-5 and a district record of 1-3.

Because all but three players are returning next year, 1981 should be a good year.

The JV volleyball had an outstan­ ding player in Pam Steinmetz, a sophomore this year.

The 1980-1981 varsity basketball team had a lot of talent, but putting it together to win games was frequently difficult. They posted a 5-12 pre-District record which highly underrates varsity play. To open the season, the Bulldogs faced a tough Rider team and lost 54-45. Bruce Burks scored 12 points to lead the Dogs. In the next game Bobby Middle scored 14 points and Bobby Morris and Burks added 12 points in a 52-49 loss to Bowie.

Nocona was the Dogs first victim of the season as the varsity won 56-41 behind M orrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 15 points and Burksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 13 points. Lawton M acarthur then came to Burk and edged the Bulldogs 55-49. Burks led Bulldog scorers with 16 points.

The Dogs then faced Bowie again but could not outscore them as they lost 32-28 behind Burks and Sid Chambers who both scored 10 points.

The Bulldogs then participated in the Canyon Reef Tournam ent in Snyder, Texas. This tournam ent contained 15 other teams besides the Dogs. Many of these teams were State-ranked; therefore, the Bulldogs knew they were up against tough competition. In the first game the Dogs lost to Lub­ bock Monterey 59-40. Then Big Springs beat the Bulldogs 50-48 in a tough game. Chambers led the varsity with 19 points. In their final game of the tournament, the Dogs lost to Sweetwater 47-43 as Chambers again led the team in scoring with 11. In their next outing Wichita Falls H.S. defeated the Dogs 68-58. Middle led the Dogs with 17 points. The Bull­ dogs then finished fourth in the G ra­ ham tournament. In the first game Burks scored 19 points as the Dogs beat Midway 47-43. In the next game Graford beat Burk 42-37, and then the Dogs lost 51-50 to Stephenville.

Then the Bulldogs seemed to come to life as they won 3 out of their next 4 games. The Dogs beat Frederick 4331 as Middle and Chambers each ta l­ lied 9 points. The varsity then trav­ eled to Jacksboro and defeated them 59-53 as Burks and Duayne Andrus led Burk with 15 and 14 points respectively. WFHS then beat Burk again 54-51. Burks led the team with 18 points. Olney then fell to the Bull­ dogs 73-52 as Burk had a balanced scoring attack. Burks scored 14 points while Andrus and Mike Meisel each scored 12 points.

The Bulldogs then entered a Dis­ trict race which any team had a chance to win. In the first half of Dis­ trict, the Bulldogs lost all five games by a total of 9 points. In the opener the Vernon Lions defeated the Bull­ dogs in a rough battle 51-50. Cham­ bers and Andrus led the team with 12 and 11 points respectively. Also John Hrinevich performed well. Iowa Park, the first half champion, then defeated the Dogs 47-45 despite M iddle’s 18 points. The Dogs then traveled to Graham where they fell 57-56 to the Steers. Andrus and Morris led the Bulldog scoring attack. The next game against Mineral Wells ended in an exciting but disappointing fashion.

With two seconds remaining the Rams sank 2 free throws to win 44-43.

100 — Sports

To end the first half of District play, the Hirschi Huskies defeated the Bulldogs in another tough contest 58-54. Chambers led all scorers with 20 points.

With a chance to still win District, the Bulldogs faced Vernon again but fell 58-54 in overtime. Morris and Middle led the Dogs. The Bulldogs next faced Iowa Park, and the Hawks once again proved victorious 55-46.

Burk then beat Graham 65-59 at home as the Dogs had a balanced scoring attack. Then Mineral Wells showed th a t they were too tough for the Dogs by winning 60-47. Middle, Burks, and Morris led the Bulldogs with 13, 11, and 10 points respec­ tively. The Bulldogs last game was against Hirschi.

Under new coach Alex Koulovatos, the B urkburnett JV basketball team had a great season. The JV showed excellent defense during the year while also displaying a fine offense.

Early in the season the JV defeated Bowie 63-9 and Nocona 57-12. The Bulldogs also defeated Bowie twice more and won two out of three games against Wichita Falls High School.

During the season the JV placed sec­ ond in the Wichita Falls Invitational Tournament. In the finals, the JV lost 34-32 to Rider on a last second shot from about forty feet out. Coach Koulavatos stated th a t Wichita Falls gave his team the toughest competition, especially Hirschi, since they had such a strong inside game. He also expressed th a t the strongest asset of the JV team this year was discipline and that the JV played extremely well considering that only four play­ ers were on the team last year.

The 1980-81 season for the Lady Bulldogs was a tough one. Although they didn’t do well in district, the effort with which these girls played is commendable. Burk won their first game of the season 57-54 against Electra, but went on to lose their next two games before winning again against WFHS. The girls lost some real heartbreakers. Only two of the girls, Mary P ert and Kelly Easter, were returning players from last year’s Varsity team. The other seven came from last year’s JV team. For those seven, this year was a learning experience. Hopefully these girls will see victory next year. The high scor­ ers for the Lady Bulldogs were Mary P ert and Kelly Easter.

The JV team had a disappointing season this year. Their main problem was th a t they had no returning play­ ers. The year proved to be a learning experience for all of them. They will come back next year as experienced players. Although the record doesn’t say too much for these girls, most of the games were close ones. For exam­ ple, the girls lost 30-32 against Olney; they lost 23-25 against Iowa Park; and they lost 25-28 against Mineral Wells. The high scorer for the JV team was Dawn Ray. 1.

Throughout the cold winter and early spring, one could find the tennis team busily preparing for its tourna­ ment season which started on Febru­ ary 20 at the WFHS Invitational tournament. To improve their skills, some of the players spent a grueling three days at John Newcombe’s T en­ nis Ranch. They went through three 4 '/2 -hour sessions concerning groundstrokes, overheads and volleys, and serves. This year, the team has the opportunity to play in some major tournaments in Fort W orth and Sweetwater. Many of the team mem­ bers have set goals on winning Dis­ trict to be held here at Burkburnett on April 9-10 and then going on to Regionals in Odessa.

Trackers Race for State

Daniels Shows His State Form 4U The 1980 Bulldog track team was once again dominated by Andrew Daniels, who, for the second consecu­ tive year, won the state title in the mile run. Also making his second appearance in the state meet was Curtis Pendley in the pole vault. O th­ ers who did well were Phillip Dowl­ ing, Macie Malone, John Hanson, Kirk Wolfe, Bruce Burks, and Lonnie Gilliland.

Leading the track team this year will be Bruce Burks, Phillip Dowling, and Ken Pendley. With these return­ ing lettermen, the Bulldogs are expected to do well again in the 1981 season.

Long before most people even thought about the 1980 baseball season, Coach David Keller began working with what was hoped to be a strong contender for the State Tourna­ ment The Bulldogs fielded one of the best hitting teams in their history. Hitters like Frank Moehnke and Jeff Baber were destined to give the Bulldogs a new nickname “The Boomtown Lumber Company.”

• The Bulldogs opened preseason play with an 8 to 7 comeback victory over Lawton. The next stop for the Dogs was in Wichita Falls for the Wichita Falls Classic Tournament.

Favored to win the tournament, the Bulldogs took on the Wichita Falls Coyotes in the opening game. Once again Moehnke and Baber led the hitting attack in an 11 to 6 victory.

In the semi-finals, the Dogs lost a heartbreaker to Richland Hills in a game that went into five extra innings. The Bulldogs finished the preseason with victories over Bowie and Bridgeport, scoring 28 runs in these two games.

With a record of 4 wins and 1 loss and a total of 56 runs scored, the Bulldogs felt confi­ dent as they traveled to Weatherford to start the first of district play. The Bulldogs were soon to learn that it takes more than confidence to win a ball game. The Kangaroos scored 2 runs in the first inning and went on to defeat the Dogs 6 to 0. The mighty bats of the Bulldogs were silent. Two weeks later, in a game that eliminated the Dogs from the first half of district play, Graham defeated the Bulldogs 6 to 2. With the second half of district play yet to come, it was time for the Bulldogs to regroup.

The Bulldogs looked like a different team when Weatherford came to town to begin the second half of district play. Pitcher Greg Hrazdil held Weatherford scoreless through seven innings while the revitalized “Boomtown Lumber Company” pounded out more than 20 hits to defeat the Kangaroos 11 to 0. With this big game under their belts, the Bulldogs, under the leadership of Hzradil, went on to win four more games without a loss.

The Bulldogs then traveled to Graham to face the Steers in a game for the championship of the second half of district play. The winner was assured a spot in the playoffs. In the first inning, the Steers took the lead on a grand slam homerun off pitcher Greg Hrazdil, who was starting his seventh straight game. The Dogs settled down in the later innings as Charlie Dilbeck relieved Hrazdil and held the Steers scoreless. Bulldog hitters then began a comeback in the fifth inning by scoring 2 runs. In the next two innings the Dogs could only produce one more run as the season came to a close for the Bulldogs in a 4 to 3 loss.

Seniors Reach Goal After eleven years of school, they had finally reached the goal — they were seniors. As such, they were suscep­ tible to a somewhat exclusive disease — senioritis. This affliction, although barely noticeable in September, grew to epidemic proportions in April. T he symptoms included staring out the window, arriving a t class ju st as the bell rang, and counting the days until graduation. In spite of the problem, most survived the English essays, the civics projects, and accounting practice sets. Ironi­ cally, as graduation day approached, many felt the year had passed entirely too fast. They weren’t quite as anx­ ious to release their high school years on M ay 19 as they had anticipated.

Juniors Stay Busy Although the junior year is always the busiest, most juniors will agree that it is the best. With raising money to give seniors a memorable prom, making schedules and plans for their senior year, and working hard to earn their upper classmen status, seldom was a junior found unoccupied. Most juniors considered themselves very lucky. Not only were they no longer classified as “fish,” but they were also finished with their sophomore year, which proved to be their toughest. They could finally order their class rings and enjoy their class role by look­ ing forward to their senior year.

Sophomores Take First Sophomores of 1981 proved to make the best out of “the hardest year in high school.” First, most of the sophomore students took part in building a float th a t won first prize during the homecoming parade. They then went through a trying year of math, biology, and English. The comfort of the junior and senior years ahead made the burdens th a t they had a little easier to bear. As this “in between” year neared its end, the soph­ omores relished the idea of becoming juniors.

Freshmen Adapt Easily Freshmen are definitely a unique specimen; they are in a class all by themselves. Who else would think th at they were supposed to wear only hats and socks on “hat and sock day?” Who else would ramble aimlessly around the halls looking for the nurse’s office. Who else carried all their books around the whole year waiting to be issued a locker? Who else would borrow $2.41 from a senior and think he didn’t have to pay it back?

In spite of some uncertainties in adapting to a new school, they found the changes weren’t all th a t bad. Even though they were teased a lot, they discovered th a t being the underclassman was not th a t awful; in fact, usually it was quite a lot of fun. Although since late August they had anticipated the end of school in May when they would no longer be “fish,” they began to realize th a t being the “new kid on the block” actually had some advantages. They had a very memorable year. Yet, they can’t wait until they become seniors so they can pick on freshmen.
