There were many school activities that required heavy involvement by the students. Pep rallies required much preparation by many. There were signs and decorations to prepare for the gym and halls. There were many other details. Many of which' the cheerleaders prepared such as providing the football players with treats for incentive and preparing the program for the rally. There were after game dances at the Youth Center. Most of which were DJ’ed by Tommy Thornton. Homecoming, Sadie Hawkins Day, and Presentation were the biggest events of the year. All of which took several O&eeks of preparation. There were floats to build, there was a ‘Marryin’ Sam’ to be found, and a theme

Float Building Is A Furious Pace Student Council held a special meeting in September to decide a theme for this year’s homecoming floats. They chose fairy tales. Seniors then chose ‘The Little Engine That Could’ ; juniors chose Dum bo, the Flying Elephant’ ; sophomores chose ‘Cinderella’ ; and freshmen chose ‘The Wizard of O z’ . Sunday began a frantic week of float building from 6:30 till 9:30. Thursday was

preparations had to be made. These details were completed around 12:00. Each president was in charge of the building process which began by flooring the trailer with boards. A fter this the frames were assembled by a team while another team prepared the trim. This in cluded the tedius act of cutting out and making flowers, signs and anything else that was necessary for the float. The frame work was then covered or stuffed depending on the project. Flowers and trim were added next, followed by the let tering. Each float took about twenty-four hours of long, hard work to construct. Once the judging and parade were finished the floats were returned to be dismantled. Some parts became trash, some kept for possible use next year, and the borrowed items were taken back to their owner. During the following week many students gratefully wrote thank you notes to all project.

Practice Improves Performance The Bulldogs opened their season in September, but not many people know that practice began on August 8. Before many students thought of returning to school, the football teams were at the stadium every morning and evening for about two hours. The first four days of practice were conditioning drills. U IL rules prohibited pads and contact during the first four days of practice so it was spent on run ning. A fter the four days, they were able to put on pads and toughen up the prac tices. Th ey learned various offensive and defensive plays during this time. The Bulldogs practiced from 2:30 until 6:30 on Mondays through Wednesdays. On Thursdays practice lasted from 2:30 until 4:30. This practice was shorter on game days so the players could rest tired 4

A fter leaving the practice field players then spent an additional thir ty minutes in weightlifting. Seventy-two young men participated in this freshman, junior varsity, and varsity football program this year. They devoted many long, hard hours to the game. Each grunted, groaned, sweated, and moaned to strive for a higher physical peak for each successive Friday night.

Holidays Welcomed by All

IX ÂŤKJ (

Most students welcomed the holiday seasons. This was because they w ere fun, and it usually meant that school would be dismissed for awhile. Halloween was the first holiday on the school calendar. Unfortunately, the Student Council was unable to find a suitable location for their annual haunted house so it was cancelled. The Student Council safety committee did schedule a Halloween activity for grade school children. Members dressed as ghosts and goblins and took candy to these children. Attached to the pieces of candy were Halloween safety tips for the children to learn and use.

A t Thanksgiving the Student Council also sponsored the Mr. and MissTurkey Limbs contest to raise money for their organization. Th e best looking arms w ere those of Jana Antwine while Clay Martin had the best looking legs. Christmas was the favorite event of the year at BHS.

T h ey perform ed such songs as F rosty the S n o w m an , T w e lv e D a y s o f C h ristm as, and R udolph the R e d N o s e d R ein deer. A t the end of the show Trent Owen, dressed

as Santa Claus, passed out gifts to all the patients. Th e ladies received jewelry and the men received caps. The National Honor Society also held their annual candy cane sale. This activity helped spread good will and cheer while helping the NH S earn money for worthy causes. During Valentine’s Day the Student Council sold suckers and carnations with ribbons of red, pink, or white. They also sold love-a-grams. These were all nice ways to show that special someone that you cared. Holidays w ere special times at BHS and everyone was glad to show their holiday spirit and enthusiasm.

Workin’ for Big Bucks Students have many ways to fill their extra-curricular time, but for some the final afternoon bell marks the beginning of yet more work. These self-bound slaves have work of a different type, for they are the students with after school jobs. Though jobs are scarce for everyone, students have found their niche in the work force by choosing from the job positions that are available to them. Fast food restaurants are high on the list of employers, but students are found in work positions from grocery stores to lumber yards. When asked why they work, most students answer “ money.” Students make minimum wage, $3.35 an hour, for beginning efforts on the job and wages increase the longer a job is held. Working part-time, students spend 12-25 hours on the job each week, though some students leave school early and hold full-time jobs with up to 40 hours each week. Students have many uses for the pay they receive. They cite such things as extra clothes, lunches, gas for their cars, car payments, movies, dances, dates, and hobbies that fill their free time. A college education is another reason students work. College is a special consideration for seniors who realize the cost of continued education. Many students save a portion of their check to help pay for their education. These are the working students. After spending their days at school, they devote their time and effort to the jobs that are a large part of their lives. I . Mark Ford sacks groceries at United. 2. Dana Griffin works as a cashier at Winn’s. 3. Brice Turner gets ready to serve a pizza. 4. Susan Ratliff waits on customers at Dairy Queen. 5. Marchand Bucchi takes a phone order at Ken’s Pizza. 6. David Winney prepares a soft drink at Hardee’s. 7. Robert Herrara sweeps floors at Winn’s. 8. Brett Martin prepares a pizza at Parnelli’s.

Work Continues Constantly Dedication and hard work are characteristics of custodians and cafeteria workers. Many times, we, the students, do not see the long hours behind the scenes to finish their job. Th e cafeteria managers arrive at 7:15 and begin preparation for breakfast customers. A fter 30 minutes, breakfast is ready and the easiest work is over. The full time workers arrive at 8:30 to help prepare lunch. Stations are used to spread the work out. A worker will cook the meat one week and bake bread the next. Clean-up begins after lunch. Again 4

the station method is used to spread out the work. When asked why they worked here, they said that they liked the work, students, and fellow workers. The custodians also start their day early arriving at 7:30. Kent Gatzky cleans the locker rooms, health rooms, and hall up until lunch for the P.E. and health students. During lunch, he and the other custodians keep kids from taking food or their wrappers out to prevent littering. Mr. Shaw comes in early on cold days turning on the heat for the English and science wings. H e also cleans this area after school. Mr. Poper arrives early to check the boiler and drives a bus route. All of the custodians spend much of the holidays repairing problems in rooms and cleaning floors. 1. Pluma Cunningham takes bread out of oven. 2. Ray Peterson fixes a door in the home economics wing. 3. Jess Davis sweeps the halls. 4. Willa Dean Kinnaird prepares cheese for serving. 5. Pat Egnoto slices onions. 6. Jim Shaw takes a break. 7.

Homework Never Ending Most students spend a lot of time studying for tests that are given each week. Students studied an average of three hours a week. Each usually had three or four tests a week depending on the topics studied that week in class. Students usually had at least three hours of homework each night, but most admitted that they never spent that much time studying assignments. Those who studied long hours each night found that they had received higher grades. Their work usually paid off. Some students found class preparation easy; others found that they had to work hard just to earn passing grades. Most students found that preparing for objective tests was easier for them. Even if they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the answer they could often guess the correct answer. Most students disliked preparing for essay tests because they had to study and even memorize a great amount of material and be able to recall it on the test day. Most BHS students spent the night before the test cramming. Many students also took advantage of the time before school to complete their lessons and study for test. Students could be found studying in the library, lunch room, senior hall, and in classrooms finishing the previous nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assignments. 1. Student busily studies in the cafeteria. 2. Angeli DeFilippo studies accounting. 3. Students prepare for a test for in the library. 4. Mike Johnson comÂ pletes a biology science assignment. 5. Student works hard in the library completing a worksheet. 6. Cindy Collyot reads a book in the library. 7. Josette Chavis works on an assignment. 8. Paula Silva studies in the library.

Teacher’s Work Begins Early, Ends Late Most teachers spent considerable time preparing for their classes. Each prepared lectures, v;rote tests, gave tests, graded tests, and read class assignments. They spent hours at school and hours at home completing their school work. No one really realized the amount of work required of each teacher. Mr. Wright spent about four to nine hours a week grading papers. He also spent about five to ten hours of his own time each researching, making out tests, and grading papers. Mr. Lawson spent approximately three times more preparing for a lecture than in giving it. H e likes teaching because, “ Young people keep us young.” Mr. Palmer liked preparing laboratory exercises for his students more than anything else. He believed that each day was a challenge to him. Mr. Sternadel enjoyed preparing for class discussion best. He liked to teach because it gave him a feeling of doing something worthwhile. Mr. Hays graded papers for about three hours every night. H e also spent fifteen to twenty hours a week of his own time preparing for his class. H e believes that “ Any teacher who demands much of his students must in turn demand much of himself.”

fe rn

Teachers usually gave about two tests a week. These tests required about two hours to originate. Teachers graded about three hundred papers each week and often more. Teacher’s work usually went unnoticed by the students. Most students believed that they did all the work when, in fact, each teacher, too, did a great amount of preparation. 1. Mrs. Warren types a test for her students. 2. Mr. Wright spends time grading class papers. 3. Mr. Palmer prepares worms for dissection. 4. Mr. Pace types an assignment for his class. 5. Mrs. Christoff studies a lesson. 6. Mr. Callaway looks for an assign ment. 7. Mr. Lawson dresses as Walt Whitman for a class discussion. 8. Mrs. Sweatt gives a lecture to her class.

Junk Delightfully Delicious Anyone that knows anything about the foods they eat know that there are actually five major food groups rather than the over-popularized four. The milk, fruit and vegetable, bread and cereal, meat and poultry groups are not the only groups that exist. The fifth group being made up of all the best foods: pizza, hamburgers, hotdogs, cakes, candies, and cookies are all in this group making it the most important of them all. Doctors and specialist are always telling us how Important it is to receive our daily amount of milk products and fruits and vegetables. Since all the finest foods are placed in this group how could the name â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;junkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; be placed on these bagged, boxed, and wrapped cuisine. Foods that can be eaten at anytime, just about any place, in any combination, and in any quantity, are a necessity to most diets. Nothing about sweet chocolate, chewey caramel, or crunchy nuts can be junkie. Some people complain that these foods contain too much sugar, too many starches, artificial coloring, artificial flavorings, and too many calories. These same people report that these foods could somehow be dangerous to our health. However, most know that these foods are essential to maintain a well-balanced diet. The opinion of most people is that the foods unjustly called junk foods are most certainly not junk! 1. Student gets her lunch. 2. Freshmen students bring their own lunch. 3.

‘Whiz Kids’ Attend University Summer vacation meant summer classes to some BHS students. The Spectrum Program was sponsored by Midwestern State University. Students were selected on the basis of the A C T and S A T tests, parent and teacher evaluations, and individual motivation and creativity. The 5 and Vz week program gave students an opportunity to learn about college, dorm life, class assignments and meet students and faculty. Each Spectrum student chose two courses from the many that were offered. Each received full college credit for those completed. When asked about how they liked college life Spectrum students replied, if a student is selected for the Spectrum Program, they should take the opportunity to find out how much fun college life is and earn college credits for work completed. All of the ‘Whiz Kids’ enjoyed their summer school at a university, met many new people, and had fun while they were on vacation from Burkburnett High. 1. Joe Caffin takes time out for a picture. 2.

Rehearsals Initiate Fall Season Preparation by the Burkburnett Band and the Boomtown Babes required a lot of patience, energy, and time according to Band Director Charles Gregory and the Drill Team Instructor Anita Owens. Both organizations begin practicing before school opened in the late summer. Band tryouts are held to determine whether a student is placed in first hour Symphonic Band or second hour Contest Band. Besides morning practice band members also have rehearsals on Mondays and Thursdays from 6 to 9 o’clock. Drill Team initiates the fall season with an intensive one week summer camp but when school opens they have a first hour class for practicing. They also practice from 7:00-10:00 P.M. on Mondays. Both the Band and Drill team members commented that they often get tired of practicing things over and over but when they are cheered and applauded by people then they know that all the work th e y ’ve done has been appreciated. 1.

Skits Highlight Pep Rallies

i Every Friday during football season at 3:00 students rushed to the gym for the pep rally of the week. No one ever knew what to expect because each one was different. After arriving at the gym, the students pledged their allegiance to the flag while the band played the Star Spangled Banner. The cheerleaders performed many skits including football ballet, and they dressed as various characters including Pinocchio, the Tar Baby, and E.T. They also led their version of pop goes the weasel while paper sacks exploded throughout the gym.

28 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Activities

The cheerleaders also kept spirit flowing during the rallies by performing many cheers and yells. A rousing pep talk was always given by a member of the football team. This talk was intended to seal the victory and entice fans to come out to the game. The cheerleaders ended their cheers with the traditional ‘Good Luck Bulldogs’ cheer. The band topped it all off with the school’s Alma Mater. The pep rallies have always symbolized the pride and honor in one’s school.

Student Style Selective Most students at BHS strove to be in ‘style.’ Students could be seen sporting Jordache, Ocean Pacific, Gloria Vanderbilt, and Hobie clothing. With these garments students added touches of fashion with brightly colored bandanas and add-a-bead necklaces. Students even made sure that their shoes were in style. The favorites were flats, leather ankle boots, and Vans. Students at BHS usually spent about forty-five dollars for an outfit just so they could appear in style. Most people picked out modern styles when buying clothes; others looked for clothes that were different to create their own unique style. They were the ones to set the trend for the rest of the student body. Although many were in ‘style’ they had different tastes. They wore the styles, but they chose their favorite colors. Most BHS students, however, preferred to wear the color blue. Most also wore sports shoes at one time or another. The favorite shoe this year at BHS was Nike. Most students also owned several different brands of jeans, but most preferred the look of Jordache jeans. Although many new styles have been created most have not changed much from last year’s designs. Most students felt that they should dress in ‘style’ to blend in at school with the others, but a few broke away from this and were able to wear their ‘own’ styles. 1. Lisa Goff shoes off her ankle boots. 2. Rick Rankin poses for his picture. 3. Carey Lewis sports his Bulldog jacket. 4. Beth Yarmoski models her new dress. 5. Tona Stubblefield dresses in style. 6.

Hobbies as Varied as Students Most people have hobbies which they enjoy, but most usually have ordinary hobbies. Some students at BHS were interested in some pretty strange things. Bonnie Hibbard has collected Koala Bears for nine years. She has about five hundred different bears in her collection. Damon T o fte owns a collection of about sixty hats. His favorite hat is a red hat that he obtained in Spain. H e has been collecting for three years. Joe M cN eely has been interested in writing poetry for eight years. His poetry gives him a chance to sort out feelings and write them down. Junior high literature provided the interest in this hobby. Lynda Bottos spends some of her time collecting Star W ar’s figures. She has an entire collection of fifty chracters except for two Ewoks. She has been collecting them since she was in the fourth grade. Coady LaPierre enjoys dungeons and dragons in his spare time. Coady has been playing for six years. This is a fairly common hobby at BHS; about seventy students participate in this continuing game. 1. Coady Lapierre practices advanced dungeons and dragons. 2. Bonnie Hibbard displays her Koala Bears. 3. Joe M cNeely concentrates on poetry. 4. Damon T ofte displays his hat collection. 5. Lynda Bottos sets up her Star W ar’s collection. 6.

Students are required to take two years of math before they are able to graduate. Th ey may choose from introductory A lgebra I, introductory Algebra II, Algebra I, A lgebra II, geom etry, trigonometry, and advanced calculus. College bound students usually study four years of math. For some it is their most challenging class. T h ey found that they have to work extra hard just to stay up. T h ey are challenged by factoring, proofs, sines, cosines, and various types of equations. Many students spent their mornings with their math teachers trying to understand the previous day’ s assignment.

Voc Ed Increases Personal Growth

Vocational education has been described as the education of living and making livings. Students in these classes learn by doing projects, which is a sharp contrast from most other classroom methods. Vocational education teaches students how to use their hands and heads together to do a job. They gain an understanding of technology, communicating with others, and working with others. These courses increase personal growth and develop skills within each student. Since students learn by doing jobs there are visible results of their efforts which help to provide competence and confidence. Students are also exposed to a more competitive spirit than most other classes offer which helps promote leadership development within each class. Vocational education classes are open to all junior and senior students for one or both years. Agriculture and home economics are offered to freshmen and sophomores as well as upperclassmen. Class time varies from one to three hours, depending upon which classes are taken. Classes are held in the vocational wing with the exceptions of agriculture and building trades which have their own buildings, and cosmetology which is held off campus. 1. Roy McLeran studies in computers class. 2. Sharia Kennedy practices typing skills in O. E. A . 3. David Coleman poses for a picture. 4. Mark Battista works with a lamb in ag.

Facilities Upgraded by Class

Construction Building Trades is a vocational education course designed to teach junior and senior students the art of house building. For three hours each day, in a pre-employment lab situation, students are taught how to use the equipment and perform the techniques necessary in house construction. Each year the building trades class builds a house from foundation to finish and offers the building for sale upon completion. This year, however, the class put aside this tradition and did not build a house. Instead, the students remodeled office space for the school system. In addition to their remodeling project, the building trades class constructed a new maintenance barn, located near the bus facilities.

The co-operative work programs at BHS are offered in conjunction with the vocational education program. Students who participate in co-operative programs are placed in local employment situations which relate closely to their vocational class. Students are usually in the second year of their vocational class when they choose to go into work programs. The work programs are offered in various areas of vocational education. Home Economics Co-operative Education, H.E.C.E., offers students work experience in areas relating to home economics, including food service and child care. The Distributive Education Co-operative Association, D.E.C.A., is a sales oriented program. Agriculture coÂ operatives offer students work in different areas relating to agriculture. Office education offers students work positions in offices such as secretaries and receptionists. Students benefit from these work programs since they gain hands-on experience and technical training that they would not receive from classroom work alone.

J.V. Improves During Season In mid-August the Junior Varsity hit the practice field sweating and working for a successful season. With an early season loss and tie, the dream of a successful season seemed to have little chance of reality. They improved every time they stepped onto the field resulting in a very strong season finish. Combining strong defense and offensive units, the Bulldogs routed most opponents including a 62-0 romp over Iowa Park. Jason Martin performed extrem ely well by gaining close to 1,000 yards in only seven games. However, this team was not a one-man team. The Junior Varsity showed the ability to pull together and play as a team which helped them to defeat many outstanding teams.

Freshmen Record T w o Wins Ending their season with a 2-7 record, the freshman team faced a battle with every game. Playing better than their record showed, the Bulldogs held a fourth quarter lead of 15 points; but they gave up two late fourth quarter touchdowns to lose by one point, 22-23. Against Notre Dameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Junior Varsity, the freshman pulled off a 20-9 victory. The freshman also beat Iowa Park by a score of 14-8. The linemen, the strongest part of the freshman team, played especially well. Ethridge, Thornsberry, and Rowe were the three outstanding linemen. Behind these three the quarterback, Ronnie Meadows, ran the option very effectively until he was injured early in the season. Brad Barker then took over the team and led them to their two victories.

Volleyball Goes 9-14 With one experienced volleyball player returning and adding two freshman starters, this inexperienced team played competitively with the more experienced teams in district.

J.V. Shows Increased Interest Eight of eleven Junior Varsity players lacked previous volleyball experience. With only three experienced players, they were not expected to do well; but they surprised many people by keeping the matches close. Gaining confidence and playing time as the season progressed, the Junior Varsity took control of the close matches and won. The team ’s record of three wins and ten losses reveals little about the success of this season. By gaining valuable experience, the success of this year’s team will be reflected on next year’s Varsity team. In years’ past volleyball at Burkburnett High attracted very little attention from the students. This year, however, volleyball’s growing interest necessitated forming a freshman team.

The question to be answered by this year’s Varsity team was not how talented they were, but what they would make out of the talent. Becoming the first in over ten years to make the State Tournament, the answer to the last question was very favorable. This team finished the district season with a 12-2 record and overall had a 20-6 record before going into playoff action. At the Boswell tournament, the team finished second losing to the Boswell Pioneers. The Bulldogs finished the Wichita Falls Invitational Tournament in fourth place after losing to Hirschi and Wichita Falls High. After a shaky preseason, they growled through district losing only once to Hirschi and Vernon. The highlight of the season occurred with the great win over 5th ranked Hirschi, after wnich the crowd poured onto the court. The final season game with Mineral Wells went into a heart wrenching triple overtime.

Eight of twelve players on the Junior Varsity were sophomores. Despite their youth, the team performed extremely well in the Byers Varsity tournament. They finished second overall after losing to Petrolia by only two points. The major advantage the Junior Varsity had over other teams was their size which led to better rebounding and easier shots. The posts were Craig Disney, Steve Turner, and Richard Hozdic; and their play inside won many games. On the otherhand, Coach Koulavatos said that lack of experience and outside shooting w ere the major weaknesses. This season did, however, allow the young players to gain experience which will help next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s varsity team. Although their season record was 7-7, their season was highlight.'

Freshmen Have Tough Schedule The freshman boys refused to give up as they finished the season at 3-14. Despite their poor record, they did have some very good players. Keith Thornsberry produced the best stats. He was the team’ s leading rebounder and scorer, performing well enough to move up to Junior Varsity upon finishing the freshmen season. Th e freshmen were dealt a blow when Todd Cast broke his arm causing him to miss all of the season. Before his injury, the coaches were looking for him to make the Varsity team as a sophomore. The team itself improved every game. Their “ never say die” attitude laid the foundation for later quality.

The Lady Bulldogs finished the season at 11-16 and district at 5-9, but they had very strong play from Maureen, Tina, and Denise, all of which were up for All-District honors. The team finished third in the Graham Tournament by beating Peaster 60-40. Defeating Petrolia 66-55, the team won third place at the Petrolia Tournament; and in the season’s final tournament, the Lady Bulldogs finished second, losing the championship game to Iowa Park. Hustle, team work, and depth replaced inexperience. Amanda Nelson, Carla Cardenas, and Dawn Jones will return next year providing the Lady Bulldogs with great outside shooting. Reflecting on this year, Coach Dunn said that the 58-55 win o v p - Iowa Park highlighted the season. Next year’s team should be a strong district contender with all but four seniors returning.

Seniors Burst Forth in Brilliance

The seniors began the year by having their pictures taken in mid-summer. Then, they began ordering graduation invitations and caps and gowns. The seniors looked forward to graduation after their long twelve year struggle. The thought of graduation brought many different feelings. Students were anxious and excited because they finally finished high school. Others were frightened because they would be on their own for the first time. Some even felt sadness because they would be losing many of their old friends. Graduation held a lot of mixed feelings for the whole class. Senior class officers. Front row: Denice Hoopes, Reporter.

Sophomores Are Rising Stars

Sophomores began their difficult struggle through the tenth year of school. They were glad not to still be freshmen, but they couldn’t wait until they w ere upperclassmen. Th e grade was not easy for these students. This year usually proved to be the most difficult as well as challenging. Students w ere loaded down with classes; they w ere only allowed one elective class. This didn’t leave much free time for them to enjoy themselves. Most could not wait for the long, hard year to end so that they could climb to the next-to-last rung on the ladder. Sophomores class officers.

Freshmen Are Horizon’s Glow

The freshmen began their long, hard high school days trying to find “ their” place at BHS. They w ere the underclassmen who were subjected to comments and hassles by the upperclassmen. From the first day of school, when they struggled to find their classes, they began to make their mark. Th ey slowly began to fit in and adapt to high school life. Th ey progressed so much that they couldn’t wait to be sophomores. Most freshmen were glad when their first year of work was over, and they could finally earn their position as upperclassmen.

The Burkburnett High School Administration was dedicated to supporting the student body. They always strove to do what was right for the benefit of the school and its students. They worked long, hard hours behind the scenes often times without credit so that BHS students could enjoy their achievements. Mr. Darland could always be seen working for the school in his office. Mr. Beard, Mr. Combs, and Mrs. Skelton kept track of student absenteeism, and they were also busy handling any problems that unexpectedly arose. Mrs. Smiley and Mrs. Patterson were always busy with schedules and class counseling. Mrs. Shmidt was busy directing the vocational education department. Mrs. Owen, activity director, was always busy preparing activities for the student body to enjoy. Burkburnett High School was very fortunate to employ such dedicated and supportive administration.

The Board of Trustees were very busy making changes this year. They provided liability insurance for all school employees and board members. They also employed Danny Taylor as Administration Assistant for Community Relations and Business. The Board members opened a new junior high cafeteria to students this year. This new building closed the campus. Students were no longer able Carl Law

The Community Education program was moved to new facilities on the high school campus. The Board also had a new maintenance building constructed near the bus barn.

IN PARTING Your high school story, one year out o f four, provides experiences that will last a lifetime. N o other time is so free, action-filled, and as m emorable as is this early period of adulthood. H ere, life was separate from the town, county, state, and nation, but yet w e w ere an indirect part of that too. H opefully, w e have captured some of those days and the photographs and copy will cause fond reflections at some future point. Acknowledgements usually occur in the forward section o f books, but w e have saved that for last. Yearbook production involves many long, hard hours beyond the normal class time. Much of that time was spent in agonized frustration, but this always changed to relief, if not outright elation. Although staff membership dwindled through the year, those fe w remaining w ere dedicated to preserving memories for you. W e would like to thank those staff members who sacrificed vacations, weekends, and that BIG Friday night date to photograph or report an event. A special thanks also to those students, faculty, and administrators for help and assistance. T h e 1984 D ERR IC K was a project of Lisa Thomas, editor; Bonnie Hibbard, asst, editor; Rhonda McGarry, Bibi Diaz, Patsy Petcoff, Debra Henrion, and Joe Caffin. Candid photography was by Bonnie Hibbard, Paul Teakell, and Beth Lederer. Contributing photographers w ere Tom Borneman and Dolly Reyes.
