The new 1982-83 school year began the same â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;oldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; way with registration. There were few new classes to choose from such as the computer class and a new program i for the gifted and talented. Then, too quickly, came the first day of school. Some new changes had taken place during the summer. The parking lot was no longer open to come and go as one desired. This , kept outsiders from getting in, but it ' also limited insiders from getting out, except at lunch and those with work permits. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too bad though. The closure reduced some [of the opportunities to miss class.

-Opening

Over the summer came a change in clothing styles. The girls were wearing mini-skirts, legwarmers, and the “ preppy” look was in. Girls and guys were both wearing Ocean Pacific sportswear. Along with the Op’s came the Jordache Jeans. The “ preppy” look fostered preppy language such as, “ Gag me with a spoon, fer sure, and awesome, totally awesome!”

BHS is bubbling over with Orange Crush excitement and enthusiasm. Its students are energetic, eager; they have the spirit of Crush; they have that special something that it takes to be the best. Each person is full of good taste. There are no artificial additives. Each in his own way adds to the flavor of the Crush, and nothing adds to the flavor like BHS. BHS students are real crushersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; who earn the sweet taste of always being number one.

Every year about the same time, registration comes again. Registration is some times a very frustrating and confusing thing, but it is exciting. Everyone can see friends they haven’t seen all summer or friends they just saw yesterday. Registration is also a bit funny. Seeing freshmen and new students run around in a panic not knowing what is going on and where the seniors are. Registration is not real ly so bad as everyone says.

1. Tonda Wheeler and Melissa Thomas are assisted by Mrs. Smiley. 2. Parents are also seen at registration. 3. Freshmen ask questions.

At registration every person thinks of different reasons for going back to school. Seniors are mostly thrilled about the coming graduation, being on top of everything they are able to do what they want most of the time. Juniors can’t wait to get their own senior rings and think about the year when they will be seniors. Sophomores are in the middle. They are constantly thinking about the struggle they will have trying to keep up their grades, but are glad they are not freshmen anymore. Freshmen are always think ing of dodging seniors and hope they will be able to find their classes. Registration overall is an extremely thoughtful day.

Students welcomed the holiday season with many activities and good cheer. Halloween, the first holiday on the calender, was celebrated with the Stu dent Council providing a frightfully suc cessful haunted house crawling with ghosts and goblins. A thousand dollars was placed into the Student Council fund. The fund was used for District Convention and brought the Special Olympics to Burkburnett. Christmas was certainly no excep tion when it came to holiday happen ings at B.H.S. The Student Council gave loving gifts of necklaces to the women and brand new baseball caps to the men at the Wichita County State Hospital. They also sang Christmas carols.

DQmgHUJip Times and faces change, but some things never change, but only alter. The hang-outs of the 80’s are similar to those of earlier decades. Some hang outs have been around for many years and they will be here for many years to come. The most popular hang-out for all is the car. The car seems to be the most popular of all teenage hang-outs. Teenagers of all ages and lifestyles can always be found in cars riding around and making the drag. The Burk drag runs from the “ Sonic” to the “ Mathis” parking lot. An abundance of teens can be found on the Burk and Wichita drags. The Kemp drag in Wichita at tracts teens from ail the smaller towns in this area. This seems to be and has always been, one of the most popular of all hang-outs. Sikes Senter is also a very popular hang-out. The mall has everything from clothing stores to movies to arcades. It’s a place to meet friends, have a good time, and just a great place to hang-out. The newest hang-out arriving with the 80’s are the video arcades. With the new com

With the arrival of cablevision in the Burkburnett area, homes are becom ing a common hang-out. A not so un common sight is to see a cluster of group of friends in front of a television set watching their favorite movie on HBO. With the changes occurring in every day living many new hang-outs will develop and many will fade into the past. One thing for sure is that there will always be a generation hung-up on that certain hang-out.

The year 1982 was a worrisome time for those interested in politics. This past fall gubunatorial elections were held across the nation. Here in Texas Republican Governor Bill Clements ran against D em ocrat Mark White. Clements spent over $12 million on his campaign, while Mark White spent about $6 million in campaign funds. After all ballots were tallied, Mark White had been elected the new gover nor of Texas. This year was also disheartening for those women and men who supported the Equal Rights Amendment. The Amendment was rejected by Congress during the summer of 1982. Despite this defeat, supporters of the amend ment claim they will keep on fighting for it and won’t give up. In December of 1982 Congress had several Lame Duck sessions, Congress discussed a possible nickel a gallon gas hike to provide $5.5 billion for highway and bridge repairs. This also provided 300,000 people with jobs. At this session Congress also increased their salary by $4,000 per year. The issue of discontinuing Social Security was also discussed, but they decided against it. As of December 1982, there were approximately 60 million unemployed people. This was the highest rate since the Great D epression in 1941. A ltho u gh unemployment was not totally solved, Congress worked to improve the problem.

Soap operas were high in the ratings this year among high school students. They found the shows interesting as well as entertaining. Teenagers were cast in many main roles by the story writers. This helped increase a soap's popularity among high school students, and they found in each story a young person that they could relate to personally in some way. Before soaps I became so popular the casts were usually made up of middleage housewives with nothing better to do than sit home and gossif Soaps have also added exotic settings, and uncommon plots to spice up the stories. These changes make the actors and actresses more appealing, and make people wish they were in their place because TV shows are the only high spots of what I would be the same boring, hum drum lives. The favorite soap at BHS was The Young, and the Restless. It seemed to be the favorite because it is exciting and not always the same thing over and over every day. During this past year soaps have even managed to creep intp prime time with such shows as ‘Knot’s Landing’, ‘Dallas’, ‘Falcon Crest’, and ‘Dynasty.’ The favorite show among BHS students was ’Knot’s Landing.’ Since soaps are even on at night now a large amount of people must be watching them. With the increase in soap’s popularity came a decrease in westerns. There have been no westerns on prime time television j since ‘Gunsmoke.’ Such cowboys as John Wayne, Roy Rogers, and Gene Autry have become a thing of the past. Taking the place of cowboys and Indians are such characters as Buck Rogers, Luke Skywalker, and Darth Vader. These characters meet^ more new and exciting challenges than cowboys ever dreamed of. Pepple no longer like to see cowboys shooting down Indians or Indians scalping cowboys. The computer age has created popularity with lazers. It just isn’t as exciting to see cowboys and) Indians fight it out with arrows and guns when with our modern day technolbgy space invaders from every planet can zap eacl^ other in a matter of seconds. Good guys and bad guys as depicted in past westerns no longer exist, but they have been transformed into bad robots vs. laser Lukes. Westerns are just no longer in demand as in earlier years. Soaps and other new ] shows have put the Lone Ranger out of business.

Lunch is a fast thirty minutes. Each stu dent spends their thirty minutes in a dif ferent way. For some students lunch is the only time to see their friends and they spend this time gossipping about things that happened that morning. Other students spend their time with their special someone planning their next date. Some students use this time to study or makeup tests. Some do the traditional thing — eat. There are many places that students eat in Burk. The most popular place is Hardees, along with Ken’s, the Sonic, and the Sweet Shop, in about that order. A new place that students are attracted to is Parnelli’s. Those students that don’t have access to a car remain at school to eat in the cafeteria or snack bar. Students always like the idea of gaining more time to eat or visit with their friends. Students feel different about only 30 minutes for lunch, “ I think we should have longer” , “ not enough time,” It should be at least 45 minutes, if not an hour,” were some students comments about only thir ty minutes for lunch. 1.

Everyone has different tastes. Most people have specific foods they dislike and no one likes every type of food. What tastes good to one person may not to another. This depends on the person’s personality and his back ground. If they were exposed to cer tain foods as young children chances are that they will like it when they grow up. Liver ranked No. 1 on the all-time hate list among BHS students. No one interviewed liked it. All agreed that liver tasted funny and was gross. Spinach and broccoli tied for second place. These foods were very unappealing to the students because of taste and ap pearance. Many students disliked many particular foods. Some of them were: Cindy Caffin hated cafeteria food, Ronnie Acheson hated spinach, Cheryl Rachel didn’t like cauliflower, Ken Johnson hated boiled okra, Barry Boyd couldn’t stand red beets,

28 — Activities

Shalene Armstrong thought prunes were gross, Pam Steinmetz hated porkchops, and Paul Britton thought cooked carrots were nasty. Leading the list of favorite foods among BHS students was pizza. This was because pizza is quick and easy. A person knows exactly what he’s get ting when he orders pizza; pizza is piz za. The second choice among favorites was spaghetti. This was because it was tangy and spicy and it’s different from every day food. Whether certain foods are liked or not, a variety is necessary. A wellbalanced diet requires eating foods from all four food groups — meat, bread-cereal, vegetable-fruit, and milk. Disliking certain foods doesn’t mean students cannot have a balanced diet. Students should try to eat as many varieties of foods as possible because this aids in good health.

The ‘in’ place at BHS is senior hall. Here seniors rule! Each day, senior hall is crowded with the bustle of Burkburnett students. To upperclassmen, senior hall is a great place to meet friends. Only suicidal freshmen walk through senior hall. Freshmen may suffer severe memory loss from a blow of a senior’s ring, or a new ‘paint job’ with shoe polish. The hall is decorated with true Bulldog spirit. Posters, streamers, banners, and the Bullodg statue line the hall with pride, as well as trophies from past years. One student comments, “ Senior hall is the place to be on Fridays. Anyone who’s anyone is there.” Another complained, “ I wish there was something better to sit on! Those benches are UNREAL!” Generally, the student body seems content with senior hall and chooses to spend time there in the morning, between classes, and after lunch. Teachers commented that, “ Senior hall is a place where the students can unwind, within reason, of course. You can always tell the people that are ‘GoGetters’ by seeing who is in senior hall.” An annual tradition is for the seniors to meet in the hall during their last school hour and give a final senior yell. This, in turn, hands ‘senior authority’ to the juniors, who give their senior yell. It is a happy, yet sad moment when the ‘old seniors’ move on, leaving new, anxious underclassmen who have waited to ‘rule.’ Senior hall, the place of friends, happiness, and growth. The place with a sense of togetherness, and a sense of belonging. Senior hall. . . a transient heritage.

Many BHS students find working part-time a necessity during the school year. Some of the many reasons for parttime jobs are the need for extra money to date and go shopping. Car payments have become a pretty well known problem for a lot of teen-agers, along with car insurance and car repair. Job experience is a major

reason for part-time jobs. The more job experience a person has the easier it is to get a better job after graduation. There are many types of part-time jobs available for teen-agers such as working in business offices as secretaries; supermarket cashiers, stock boys, and sackers; service staÂ

tion attendants and mechanics and, ' course, there is babysitting. There is a whole world of part-tim jobs out there for anyone who has th experience, education, and needs job.

BHS students enjoy their fashions, fads, and cars. Many students own or have access to Transportation. This transportation incompasses a wide variety of colors, shapes, and sizes in cars or pick-up trucks. Cars create fun for the students but also require responsibility. Fashion trends this year included a wide range of styles, colors, and pattersn. Girls preferred jeans, mini-skirts, legs warmers, long and designed sweatshirts, tuxedo blouses, Ocean Pacific shirts, and flat or low heeled shoes. The newest look in hair styles is a punk cut. This hair style is short on the sides and long in the back. It has a moderate curl all over. The guys wore jeans, t-shirts, western shirts, polo shirts, tennis shoes, and western boots. The short hair look has returned in modified forms. Some of the fads that have ap peared at BHS are the Punk look, it is very crazy and exciting. Another fad is the Preppy look, this look is dressy and neat. Valley talk has become one of our little fads at BHS. This is unusual in the way people pronounce their words and the words they chose and how they are put together. As you can see BHS has experienced an interesting year.

Students are always being told “ En joy your school days. They are the best time of your life.” Seniors perhaps, realize just what that state ment is all about. This Senior Survey ’83 presents some senior views on the future and a nostalgic reflection on past high school memories. Among the seniors surveyed, most could quickly recall their funniest mo ment in high school. “ Trying to dissect a frog that wasn’t ready to be dissected,” said Kim Dunn. Vicki Dilks said, “ watching Freshmen get in itiated,” and shame on Malae Harrelson for “ locking the principal and vice-principal in a closet for three hours,” Carmencita Hymering said, “ Trying to say the Pledge of Allegiance in English,” for you see Carmencita is from Holland. Dana Rivard said, “ Wat ching Freshmen escape friendly senior initiation.” Some embarrassing moments were recalled. Damara McCoy recalls,

Ken Heath recalled tripping a teammate who was about to score an easy “ touchdown.” Sad thoughts varied from leaving Burk High School and friends to losing a particular game in sports.

At least two years of math are re quired for graduating students. Students chose from such classes as Algebra I, Algebra II, geometry, and trigonometry. Many often spent their mornings with their math teachers try ing to understand the previous days assignments. They often spent time comparing answers with other students as well. Most students usually wondered when they would every use high school math in every day life. Algebra is used for many jobs such as working with computers and in the automotive in dustry. Geometry is used in the con struction business, it is useful in squar ing corners in carpentry and also in in dustry. Trigonometry is useful in mak ing calculations and in surveying. Whether students learned their math well or not, they learned one very im portant thing — how to think out dif ficult problems on their own.

Three years of English are required for all students. Students wishing to at tend college took a fourth year of literature and grammar. Some of the selections studied by the freshman were G reat Ex pectations, Romeo and Juliet, and Call of the Wild. Sophomores read selections such as Animal Farm, Silas Marner, and The Unvanquish ed. The juniors studied The Red Badge of Courage, and Of Mice and Men. Every junior was also required to write a research paper. These papers took a lot of hard work and effort. The seniors studied selections of the Iliad, the Odyssey, and MacBeth. By the time a student gets out of high school, he has learned much about proper grammar including punc tuation and capitialization. The students also learn how to write com positions. The advanced senior classes spent a lot of their time learning to cor rectly write compositions. English is a very important factor in being able to express feelings and thoughts. Without it there would be a communication gap.

German, French, and Spanish language classes were offered this year. Students wanting to com municate, or at least partially unders tand a language other than their own, took these classes. The classes taught the basics of vocabulary and gram mar. For students wishing to further their knowledge of a language second and third year courses were offered. Students planning to attend college were urged to take at least one year of a language before graduation. A language club existed for those students who were more interested in the background of a language than was taught in class. Whatever the reason for taking a foreign language, students learned a skill that would enhance their abilities whether they visited a foreign country or stayed at home.

Driving a car has become a necessi ty for most people. Without knowing how to drive students couldn’t drive to school, go on dates, drive to their jobs, or visit their friends. Driver’s Ed teaches students the proper methods and rules to drive responsibly. Most BHS students take driver’s education in school because they get their license sooner, and their insurance is discounted fractionally. After the students pass a written test, they take their driving test. Driver’s Ed. helps to better prepare students with safe driv ing skills.

A lesser number, but more ex perienced students filled Spirit staff positions. These students were responsible for interviewing, writing news stories, special features, and in selling and designing ads. The paper was ‘camera ready’ before being sent to the printers. This was accomplished with a headliner and a compuwriter. They then had the added duty of designing and pasting layouts. The Spirit room was always busy with checking layouts, writing copy, and making sure ads were correct.

The 1982-83 Bulldog M arching Band.

Through the unbearable heat of late summer and the bitter cold of early winter, the 1982-83 Bulldog Marching Band had emerged as colorful and captivating as ever. Marching approx imately 105 musicians strong, the band exhibited intricate designs to the tunes of ‘old Man River’, ‘I’ve Got the Music in Me’ , and the ‘Ball and the Jack.’ For the seventeenth year, Mr. Charles Gregory has directed the Bulldog Band. With the help and sup port of assistant band directors Mr. L. E. Gray and Mr. Ted James, Mr. Gregory created the most original and colorful formations and supervised the instruction of these designs to the band members. Many long, hot hours were spent on the practice field learn ing, re-learning, alternating, and

perfecting these designs. The Band even stood in pouring rain to learn as much of the show as possible. Under the field direction of drum ma jors DiDi Flesch and Yvonne Jones, the Bulldog Band added excitement to the half-time performances of football games. Twirlers Pam Cleaver and Kim Harris and the Flag Corps, led by Capt. Deanna Hamilton and Lts. Sharron Moschgat, and Suzi Moschgat, con tributed extra color and excitement to the routines. In addition to perfoming at half-time, the Band played such tunes as the ‘Horse’ and the ‘Fight Song’ in the stands throughout the games. The Band pepped up the fans and en couraged the Bulldogs to play as best they could. Perhaps the most impor tant role the Marching Band played

spirited BHS pep rallies. The ‘Fight Song’ , ‘Horse’ , the ‘School Song’ along with popular tunes and the drum feature ‘Waco’ all enticed the teachers and students to stand clapping crazily. The Band performed in several parades. In July of 1982, the Band mar ched in Burkburnett’s 75th Anniversary Parade. In the fall, the Band performed in the Wichita Falls Centennial Parade. Through all of the extra rehearsals, parades, pep rallies, and football games, the all-important annual UIL Marching Contest event in November, was deep in the minds of the band directors and band members alike. Aftet performing, the band sat together and waited patiently to be rated. Then the loudspeaker announc ed, “ Burkburnett — II.” Groans of disbelief and disappointment rumbled throughout the area where the members were sitting. When the last half-time performance was given for the season, band members thoughts looked toward the upcoming concert season. The Band performed a Christmas Concert in the BHS gym nasium on December ' 16. Such

Christmas-time favorites as ‘White Christmas’ , ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’ , and ‘Christmas Festival’ were enjoyed by the audience. At the end of the first semester, auditions for the Sym phonic (a) and Concert (b) Bands were held. The ‘a’ Band which met first hour consisted of forty-eight members while the ‘B’ Band, which met second hour, had forty-one members. When the se cond semester started, each band con centrated on the business of preparing for another contest, the UIL Concert and sight reading contest held in April. Meanwhile, some band members par ticipated in UIL Solo and Ensemble Con test which was held in February. Also throughout the year, some ambitious musicians tried out for All-District, AllRegion, and Area bands. Finally, the ever-popular Stage Band performed at several civic events.

1. Drum Major, DiDi Flesch and Assistant Yvonne Jones practice their routines. 2. The Bulldog Marching Band watches a football game from the stands. 3. Band members take a break from marching.

A new facet of the band program was the addition of a “ Band Council.” This council consisted of two members representing each class. The council, along with band officers, made impor tant decisions concerning band ac tivities. Another new addition to the band program was new chairs for the band hall. These chairs were bought through the combined efforts of the school board and the Band Boosters. For the third year, the band held a Band Banquet. This year it was held at the Kiva Inn in Wichita Falls. The band gave its final performance of the school year at the annual Spring Concert. — Suzie Meyer

Students who are talented artists or who just like art have an outlet for their interests in art classes available over a four-year period. First year art students study the five basic qualities of art-line, value, texture, color, and form. They also study such things as contour drawing, wedging clay, and weaving. The students spent almost six weeks working with clay and preparing a finished product. Some of the more advanced students were allowed to work at the potter’s wheel. They learned to center clay on the wheel, open clay, and form a cylinder. The art students also studied printmaking, com mercial art, and various types of crafts. The advanced students were challenged by more difficult tasks in painting, intent drawing, and pri ntmaking.

There were iwo years of drafting for those students with an interest in mechanical drawing. During their first year students learned the basic draf ting techniques. Second year studies were more advanced and more dif ficult. Student projects involved designing house plans and deciding the necessary construction supplies. These two years greatly helped those students who wanted to advance into architectural design, drafting, or in dustrial art. Whether students wished to further their careers in this field of design or not, all were better equipped to control their writing and drawing habits. 1. DeAnn Williams practices contrast drawing in art class. 2. Drafting students work on class projects.

Vocational Education in today’s school system is often referred to as a s c h o o l w ith in a school. As a vital part of the total educa tional goal in the B u rk b u rn e tt High I School, a vocational education can top off a s tu d e n t’ s g e n e ra l education. The average student can receive both a general education, a job skill, and even work ex perience. Furthermore, this school within a school offers educational instruction and training to develop marketable skills, positive work habits, and the important ability to secure and retain employment in a chosen occupation. Vocational education also puts the students into environments of apprenticeship all the way to the employer-employee relationship. Students receive three credits per year.

In the cooperative programs, employment training offers the student on-the-job experience in local and area businesses. In this unique training stiuation, the stu dent adds a whole new dimension to learning, both in a real job situation and in the classroom. They earn while they learn and graduate with a full years work ex perience. The time frame is one hour in the classroom and three hours on the job per day. Cooperative programs are available in office education, marketing and distribution, home economics, and agriculture. The other areas in which a student can take interest, set goals, and learn a trade are building trades, autobody, auto mechanics, and most recently, a computer class.

Marketing and Distribution students are preparing themselves for a bright future by on-the-job situations as well as attending regular classes. After a year or two the students may move into fashion merchandising, banking, hotel, motel, restaurant, supermarket, management, industrial sales, and related areas. Many students work at qualified training stations including United and Modern Way grocery, Walmart, Gibsons, D & E Self Service, and others in the local area. When students enter marketing and distribution they sign a student agreement that covers three essen tial areas. First, it covers the classroom work and other school work for improve ment of themselves for all future wage earning positions. Second, it covers job train ing designed for the improvement of work habits, skills, attitudes, and ability to get along with others. The third is leadership development through individual and group work. Leadership is also emphasized in Dristributive Education Clubs of America (DECA).

1982-83 Varsity cheerleaders. Teresa Fullerton, Cheryl Moore, Vickie Dilks, Shelly Wittman, Damara Mc Coy, Head Cheerleader; Lisa Greene, Lisa Laminack.

Bubbling over with Orange Crush excitement, the Varsity cheerleaders began the year by attending a cheerleading camp at Oklahoma University. They poured it on to reach the top and came away with three superiors, two excellents, and they also received the spirit stick. The main goal of the cheerleaders was to boost the spirit of Crush. They did this by doing different skits at each pep rally and leading yells. They added to the flavor by decorating the halls and the gym signs. They were respon sible for all the signs made this year. This was a big responsibility. Each girl was assigned eleven big hall signs or twenty smaller paper signs. The cheerleaders took turns with this task. The Varsity cheerleaders not only rais ed spirits during pep rallies and foot ball games, but also at basketball

The Junior Varsity Cheerleaders got their first taste of spreading Crush spirit this year. They attended camp at Oklahoma University. They were responsible for signs for the J.V. foot ball games. They often performed skits at pep rallies and helped boost spirit by doing cheers, leading yells, and do ing their skits. They also spent a lot of their time observing the Varsity cheerleaders to gain experience. Donna Englehart was this year’s Bulldog mascot. She was chosen by the Student Council on the basis of performance and a speech on why she would be a good mascot. Donna stated that she wanted to be the mascot, not just another cheerleader. She proved this by numerous skits and something new for each pep rally.

School began in early August for the Drill Team members. They had to at tend training workshops every day and their intensive practice paid off. By the time school began they were well on their way to being accomplished in all the required areas in which a drill team performs — prop, jazz, and high kick. The Babes performed at every football half-time. They performed a high kick routine to the music ‘Ole Man River’, a jazz routine to ‘I’ve Got the Music in Me’, and a prop routine to the ‘Ball and the Jack.’ This year the Drill Team was also allowed to perform during the Varsity basketball half-times. Their performances included a pom-pom routine to the music ‘Heart Attack’ and S onn

Some members did not always get to perform because of benching rules. Talking, tardiness, and weight gains sometimes led to red marks with another week to regain required standards. During Midwestern State Univer sity’s SAFB Appreciation Night, the Babes were invited to perform at halftime, and they honored the Air Force with a high-kick routine to ‘Stars and Stripes Forever.' They were also in vited to a fund raising dinner at the newly renovated Kell House for the Burkburnett Community Education Theatre. They performed to the music ‘Come On In.’ Dressed as French maids, they then served the guests din ner. The Babes also entered the Wichita Falls Centennial Parade held in August. They placed third in the speciality division out of three hundred entries. The Drill Team had a very full and exciting year as they got a sip of being on top, the Orange Crush way.

The science department expanded this year creating a new club. Club membership was limited to students currently enrolled in science. The club sponsors helped channel their scientific interests to experiences out side the classroom. With this view in mind serveral field trips were taken during the year. Trips were made to the Biology Department at Midwestern State University and an outside lab at Kerrville, Texas. In January Cardiac P ulm onary R e s u s c ita tio n was demonstrated for the club members. Guest speakers often spoke at the monthly meetings. Funds for the club trips came from a shoe string sale and plants raised for resale.

Pep Club membership increased over last year. Although their number remained small, they were a necessary and important part of the Orange Crush spirit. Pep Club boosted en thusiasm at Pep Rallies and the foot ball games and kept everyone else cheering. Hopefully, the club will keep increasing in number and next year there will be a bigger and better Pep Club to help spread spirit throughout the school.

Thespians gained a new sponsor this year, Mrs. Teri Halpern. Thespians is an International world-wide drama organization. Membership is based on a point system. A person wanting to be a Thespian must not only act in plays, but also must work behind the scenes to earn points. A total of ten points is required for membership. The Thespians sponsored three plays. The first production was a Christmas play for area grade school children. This play was written and produced by the freshman members of the club. The play went very well and it was a suc cess among the children who attended it as well as the teachers. After much preparation, working long hours after school and on Saturdays, the Thes pians sponsored a fall production of Harvey with Rick Campbell and Melba Pittard as main characters. All their hard work paid off and the play was a success. Their Spring production per formed for UIL Contest was a one-act version of Glass Menagerie. Tryouts for this play were held in January. In addi tion to acting, the Thespians made their own sets, costumes when necessary, and their own make-up. This year there was only one member with enough points to be in the National Forensic League. This was Lori Latiolais. She was very involv ed in various speech tournaments and contests.

A game of agility and speed requir ing physical and mental skills is the pressure sport of basketball. Respon ding to this call were 11 young men who wanted to be a part of this sport who have the ability to handle the pressure and have the skills to play varsity basketball for Burkburnett. The basketball season started November 22, as soon as the football season ended, with practice everyday after school. Hard work was put in to these long hours. Each player trying to do his best to earn a place on the var sity squad. The varsity team was chosen after a long, hard look from the coaches.

108 — Sports

Practice didn’t stop there. The new varsity team worked even harder. More long hours of practice and hard train ing to get ready for the pre-season games. The pre-district record was 4 wins and 9 losses. The district opener was January 5, at Vernon. Starting with a loss to Ver non with a close score of 42-44, the Bulldogs bounced back beating Gainesville 59-43. With a loss to Hirschi 55-58, the Bulldogs came back to win their next four beating Boswell, Iowa Park, Azle, and Mineral Wells. They then lost to Gainesville, but com ing back to beat Vernon 71 -59. Under the leadership of head coach Danny Nix the Bulldogs finished the season with 7 wins and 7 losses plac ing fourth in district.

Junior Varsity basketball is a period of molding young men into a team. Working hard, not just during practice or the four periods of the game, but every hour of extra practice. Their outstanding quality was the ability to work together as a team. High scorers were Cary Lewis averaging 8 points a game with a high of 17 points in one game and Cliff Jeanis averaging 6 points a game with a high of 16 points in one game. During practice J.V. worked mostly on defense. This year’s starters were Joe Caffin, Jay Garcia, Cliff Jeanis, Cary Lewis, and Randy Smith.

The same dedication and practice expected of the J.V. and Varsity is also expected of freshman basketball players. Learning the basics of the game, developing physical skills and creating a style of play are the foundaÂ tions of beginning teams. Though young and inexperienced this team showed enthusiasm and team effort. Their most outstanding quality was the ability to hustle. High scorers were Stevie Turner, averaging 10 points a game; Brian McClure, averaging 9 points a game; Jason Martin and John Bailey, both averaging 8 points a game. These freshman worked most on their defensive skills. With wins and loses this team showed the ability to never give up and always hustle.

During their first year of high school basketball the freshman girls basket ball team spent a considerable amount of time practicing the basic fundamen tals of dribbling, passing, and shooting. As the season progressed they gained more experience and came back winning more games. Team ball control and handling was stressed during workouts. Since there was a lack of J.V. players four of the freshman girls were moved up. These four freshman were Dawn Jones, Stacy Lowe, Karen Parker, and Bren da Rarick. Keri Coleman was selected as the most outstanding freshman player for her ability to handle the ball. High scorers were Keri Coleman and Pam Shaw. The most improved player was Julie Phillips.

Twelve long, hard years have finally reached an end. This was the seniors’ time to ’rule’ the school for one short year. They had waited many years for this experience thinking that it would never come. That day finally did come, but sooner than expected. They realized for the first time that they would soon be out on their own. With the upcoming graduation came such details as senior pictures, and ordering invitations and caps and gowns. All of the effort of hard work was realiz ed when they walked on the platform and received their diplomas. This document symbolized their twelve years of ac complishment and success. For most it was both a sad and joyous time. Graduation brought the added responsibilities of college and careers. Many lost good friends, but gained new ones. Graduation was a sad time, yet it arrived with many new and exciting challenges. CLASS OFFICERS: Vice-President, Teresa Fullerton; Cleaver; Secretary, Vickie Dilks; President, Leslie Smiley.

The 1982-83 Junior Class was extremely busy. They started the year winning first place in the homecoming float contest. Their float was an enormous pink Easter rabbit that revolved with the help of a junior student inside it. Several of the junior girls rode on the float dressed in cotton tails, pink ears, and pink leotards. The month of November was greatly anticipated! It was then that the juniors received their senior rings. They then spent the day having their rings turned by their friends, eighty-four times towards the pinky. Juniors seemed to have a special closeness this school year. There existed an anxious awaiting for graduation. Each junior shared the excitement and enthusiasm of “ making it” through the year, and finally becoming a senior. CLASS OFFICERS: Front. Reporter, Jana Antwine; Secretary, Dawn Ray. Back.

’ Easy’ is absent from the sophomore vocabulary. The tenth grade is probably the most difficult of high school years. Homework never seems to end and almost every night there is some work to be done in English, biology, algebra, or world history. This is the in-between year. Most sophomores feel a little uncomfortable. They are glad not to be freshmen, but they wish they were upperclassmen. The hope of one day becoming upperclassmen helps sophomores endure this long, tedious year. They play a very important role in our stu dent body, but they were still happy to end their sophomore year. CLASS OFFICERS; Front. President, Gary Defore; Vice-President, John Ew ing. Back.

Freshmen have a hard go at first but give them a little time, they always find their niche. The underclassmen of BHS can always take the hassle of fitting into this new system and environment. The differences in high school were the new classes such as algebra, more advanced English, physical science, and health. They were intimidating to all “ freshmen,’ but they knew that someday soon their survival course would be over and they would no longer be ’little fish’ in a big pond.

Vice principals Mr. Beard, Mr. Combs, and Mrs. Skelton work daily with absentees and other problems. Mr. Groenewald and Mrs. Smiley help students with scheduling. Mrs. Owen, activities direc tor, has always played a major part in school spirit. Where would we be without our office assistants, Mrs. Gregory, Mrs. Bryan, Mrs. Todd, and Mrs. Fulcher. Mrs. Darland and Mrs. Hester work in our school library. Mrs. Bealor and Mrs. Perkins work with our high school resource program. BHS students are fortunate to have such a dedicated, administration.

Beneficial changes took place dur ing 1983 resulting from decisions of our Board of Trustees. A new cafeteria is currently under construction at the junior high. Students there have always had lunch at Hardin Elemen tary. The new cafeteria will seat about 350 and will be completed during the summer. A new parking system was introduc ed at the beginning of this school year. High school students and teachers were requested to register their cars and use numbered decals to be allow ed in and out of the campus parking lot. A special pass was needed to get on and off campus at any time other than the designated times. Both the junior high and high school band halls received bright new chairs. The school board also initiated a new “ Gifted and Talented” program for the more talented students at the high school. A new course in computers was available this year thanks to our school board. All of these actions contributed to making the year of ’83 a much more successful one.

This year everyone had a sip of be ing on top with the Orange Crush. Our school was always bubbling over with excitement. Each student added a speciai touch, that extra something that makes each school year different and unique, the year of the â&#x20AC;&#x153; Crush. Everyone added to the winning taste, the Crush way. These students will long be remembered for their spirit and enthusiasm as well as good taste. BHS is bubbling over with talent that when combined produced Orange Crush perfection.

97:

1. Joe Szaloky. Robin Hill, and Susan Bailey visit in seniQr hall. 2. Orange Crush is number one. 3. "I saw someone kissing Santa Claus.â&#x20AC;? 4. Students busily working. 5. Mark Adams, Donnie Robertson, and Tyrone Eli show their spirit at a pep rally. 6. Brenda Kee and Nancy Gould walk down senior hall.

The 1982-83 BHS year ended the same old way. The seniors graduated and got a taste of what it’s like to be out on their own. This brought everyone else a year closer to their own goal of graduation; a time which seems far away, yet disappears so fast. The school year overall was a good one. Students made new friends and met new teachers. They enjoyed such things as the football and basket ball games, Homecoming, class floats, dances, clubs, and all the other school activities. Even though it was the year of the “Crush” , everyone seemed ready for that summer break. When you're pouring it on — you’re pouring it out. The taste of ‘Orange Crush' is what it’s all about!
