‘T fC e c U a Our world initiated other changes in our lives. Everyday t.v. radio, and movies affect our fashions. As more information flashes by on these media our attitudes must respond with rapid changes. A student can observe the changes around our school. Rock music and videos have inspired many fashions at BHS. Punk cuts, skunk tails, and bi-colored hairstyles no longer seem strange. Guys with pierced ears and girls with multi pierced ears no longer seem bizarre. Parachute pants, mini-skirts, leather and denim jackets, su ng la sses, a n d s p ik e d b ra c e le ts a p p e a r

everywhere. Students have lost many fashion in hibitions and their present style has evolved into greater self-expression.

The lockers at Burkburnett High School are another on the list of changes. BHS students changed the locker from a place to store books to a cubical of self-expression. As students real ized that nearly any hobby could be adapted as decoration, lockers appeared in rainbow colors and patchworks of posters. From school and athletic mottos, fantasy themes to heavy metal music mania, lockers adopted the individuali ty, personality, and distinction of their owners. The information life-line of BHS centers on bulletin boards. Teachers use class bulletin boards to display information ranging from employment opportunities and scholarship in formation for graduates to who is playing in the Friday night football games. The most prominent o f the info-stations hang in the main hall and the home economics wing.

Interest and excitement were high as ever with homecoming this year. This year instead of having the pep rally on the morning of the game, a new approach was made by having the pep rally on Thursday night in Danny Sides ’ parking lot. This allowed the public to be involved in raising Bulldog spirit. As in past years, each class built a float which they entered for recognition. Each class was allowed to spend a maximum of $250 on its float, $50 came from the class fund, the re mainder came from dances. The theme for the float design was "Time Periods." An Egyptian scene won first place for the Junior class. Cap turing second place were the Freshmen with "Go for the Gold.”A "Sock Hop"from the 50’s helped the Seniors win third and the Sophomores filled the fin a l place with a design from the 20's.

Homecoming's attraction was the parade and the class floats. In addition, many organizations and clubs were represented. The junior high and high school bands added music to the procession. Leading the high school band was the new rifle corps and the Boomtown Babes. The highlight of Homecoming was thefootball game. The Bulldogs were readyto pounce, butthe Iowa Park Hawks were also anxious and waiting. Even though the Hawks led at halftime, the Queen Ceremony was still to come. The Homecoming Queen nominees were escorted by their fathers to the center of the field, where each girl anxiously waited for the fin a l decision. The 1984-85 Homecoming Queen was Cynthia Castillo; crowned by Denise Hoopes. The nominees were Beth Yarmoski, Robin May, and Candace Nixon. Junior class princess was Angela McCoy; Sophomore, Lori May; Freshman, Christ in Cornelius. During the second half, the Dogs suffered several injuries. Unable to score more than one touchdown, the Hawks defeated the Bulldogs 35-6.

The change at BHS this year also encompassed the pep rallies. Because of new laws, some pep rallies were staged in the morning before school. Several pep rallies this year were memorable. The Homecom ing pep rally was held at Danny Sides Car Sales. Cheerleaders led students in several boisterous cheers and there were free soft drinks for everyone. A t the October fifth rally, sportscaster from Chan nel Six awarded Sam James, senior football player, the Texhoma Player-of-the-Week Award. Ram busters, adaptedfrom the movie G hostbusters, formed the basis of a spirited pep rally. Chris Ailey, senior football player, sang the adapted theme song, cheerleaders were costumed Rams, and the mascot was the "Rambuster. ”

For four students from BHS, school didn 't end in M ay last year. After qualifying for the Spectrum program, Lynda Bottos, Paula Gregory, Patsy Petcoff, and Melba Pittard attended college courses at Midwestern State University.

learned about college life. A normal day involved going to two classes, studying, and sometimes lab work, and attending planned group activities. Still, an abundance of free time allowed them a chance to make new friends and follow interests. Those who participated profited in many ways. They learned about college courses and college life and developed a more sound grounding upon which to base a decision concerning their future plans.

Basketball involves much more than the game seen by spectators. Players arrived about an hour before game time. Preparation began by changing street clothes for uniforms. When finished dressing, the coach led the team in prayer and then discussed strategy and methods for the evening's game. A physical warm-up period to loosen muscles followed amid hand-clapping, cadence, and player pep-talk. Following warm-ups the team practiced ball- handling drills and shooting. Just before the game started the coach called out the starting five and quickly reviewed the initial set of offensive plays. The ensuing game tested all that the players had practiced and learned under their coach's instruction. Acting

Finished with the discussion, the team returned to the court and practiced shooting until time to resume play. Play was sometimes stopped by the coach to explain a method to improve play. Players often substituted for one another as the game

progressed; everyone gave their best effort to win. When the fin a l buzzer sounded the team returned to the locker room. The coach reviewed the favorable and unfavorable points of the game. Following a closing prayer the players showered, dressed, and returned home having played to the best of their abilities and represented our school well.

tfe t Learning doesn't have to be dull. Some of the best classes are the classes that take a unique approach to education. The class may be in a different kind of setting. It may deal with a unique subject or the teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s method of instruction just may be different. Hands-on learning can bejust as educational as book instruction and sometimes more educationally profitable. Sometimesjust getting out of the classroom helps promote a more positive attitude in students. Perhaps the most valuable component of a positive, successful learning exprience is that teacher who really presents a lesson. One of those teachers who can keep the

students interested and never let the surprises stop can really make a difference in a classroom. This kind of teacher can really put some pizazz into a class.

When to complete all this work has posed quite a problem for some students. Those who have a job or participate in extracurricular activities discover that they must finish their homework in class. Others take a study hall to provide the time necessary for homework. Others utilize the libraries before classes and during lunch. The most common place to attack studies, though, is at home. A t home a student can finish his assignments at his leisure. Oftentimes, homework is finished during the commercials that interrupt a favorite t.v. program. Other favorite places to do homework are in your own room with the radio loud enough to bother your mother. 1 . The cafeteria supplies Angela Sweeney w ith a place to finish homework. 2 .

Students had to contend with work other than homework. After a long day at school one must stillface the housework that parents require of them. Washing the dishes is a year- round chore that everyone has the same feelings for — hate! Another unpopular task that plagues most of us is cleaning our rooms. Other chores around the house take many different shapes and sizes. For some may have had the simple chore of dusting or a tedious task such as sweeping and mopping all the floors. Somejobs are seasonal. Mowing and edging the yard occupy the warm months. The approach of fall brings leaves to rake; with winter the sidewalks and driveways require snow shovelling. Chores cannot be avoided no matter what time of year. They are a curse that fills a student’s after school hours.

A student’s room is his haven from the outside world. In that room, one can escape from the pressures of school, parents, and perhaps a job. A student's attitude and tastes are reflected within the room surrounded by his "things. ” Many rooms contain many different things. Stereos are frequently found in a room as well as t.v. 's and telephones. The walls are covered with a variety of things. One student’s taste might dictate walls covered with rock posters while another would enjoy pleasant

paintings or pictures of an imals. Some keep trophies, ribbons and certificates on display. Others display different collections such as dolls, models, or other knick knacks. Furniture may fill one room while another might be almost empty. A room might be cluttered and filled with superfluous junk or neat and clean with the clothes picked up off the floor and the bed made. Each room has its own identity just as does its owner. The owner has decorated it to his taste to create an environment totally suited for him.

Ken’s and Onio’s were two places where many students enjoyed eating. Though the survey in dicated a few definite favorite foods and places to eat, the teen-age appetite seemed to cover a very large variety of foods.

Required in order to live, food occupied a lot of our time. Certain foods appealed to the taste more than others. To fin d out what foods students desired the senior survey asked the question, "what is your favorite restaurant?” A large number of people answered that sea food was their favorite. Red Lobster easily won the position of favorite restaurant. Though seafood had a large following the hamburger

tfo & c t S t u d e n t (2 ’u * w d & Movies are a common pastime for many students. Tastes differ greatly, but some movies attracted larger numbers than others. According to the Senior Survey, "The Terminator" was the favorite movie of this year; followed by "Beverly Hills Cop," and "Gremlins. ” Not only were favorite new movies polled, but favorite old movies were also surveyed. The number one old movie "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" won overwhelmingly. "Gone With the Wind" received second place and "The Wizard of Oz”got third place. Sometimes, the actor or actress who appeared in a movie determined that movie’s popularity. Many students voted Sally Field as the most popular actress. Kristy McNichols took the second place position and Meryl Streep and Catherine Hepburn tied for the third place position. The clear winner of the most popular actor category was Tom Cruise, followed in second place by Eddie Murphy and Tom Selleck. Clint Eastwood and Harrison Ford filled third place. The actors, actresses, and movies indicated in the survey characterized a wide scope of tastes. That "The Terminator”and "Gremlins" were both in the top three proved that not any one type of movie or actor satisfied a teen-ager’s preferences.

Perhaps the most obvious visualform of personal statement is one's hair. In a school made up of many different individuals the variety of hairstyles seem endless. Hair lengths vary from very short to medium length to very long. Many students optedfor a severely beyond punk cut while others selected a simple bob. Most of the guys wore ordinary wash and wear haircuts, but a majority o f girls maintained time consuming hairstyles. Necessary tools were curling irons, hot curlers, and the new styling gels and mousse. Some students decided their hair needed something else and turned it another color or had it highlighted. Some

Shoes help convey a person's personality and lifestyle. Those who prefer comfort compared to fashion often wear hushpuppies or sneakers. Students with active lives need shoes that can w ithstand a lot of running around. Those involved in sports require tennis shoes, track shoes, hightops, and cleats for their different activities. For those who lead a more sedentary life, the dressier styles of shoes suffice. Seasons often determine what shoes students wear. The beginning of school saw many

sandals and jelly shoes. As the cold months began to arrive, warmer shoes made their appearance. Closed toe shoes made their appearance with boots. Then the weather began to get warmer. Shoes that were cooler began to reappear to provide greater comfort.

The popularity of hreakdancing the year before brought about a string of breakdancers in our school. These dancers displayed their talents in many different places. A favorite was at school dances. When the appropriate music was played, the breakers immediately gathered to do their thing. The gym afforded another place to perform. Just enough room would suffice. The only other requirement was the music which was easily filled by a tape player.

Dances provided an enjoyable alternative to the old standby Friday night evenings of a movie or merely cruising. There friends were met and they enjoyed an evening of dancing and socializing. The dances featured a wide music selection which appealed to everyone. Those who preferred country could enjoy the dances as much as those who liked rock or soul. Besides offering entertainment dances also supplied funds for clubs and classes. Advertisement played a vital role in the success

of a dance. Dance sponsors of a dance announced over the P. A. system and placed posters in strategic areas. The money raised by these dances helped finance the many activities of the clubs and classes. By attending these dances, students helped support their school organizations.

BHS of fers a wide variety of courses to accommodate the new laws. Included are Introductory Algebra I, Introductory Algebra II, geometry, trigonometry, advanced calculus, and accounting. Students were busy learning procedures for factoring, proofs, sines, cosines, and tangents. In addition, students worked with graphs and many kinds of equations. Many students enlisted the a id of their teachers before school, or attended the new tutorial services to sort out their mathematical problems. Though most students d id not realize it, these courses do have practical applications in everyday life and future careers.

Information is given to students in the form o f lectures and practical labs. On the freshman level, physical science helps students deal with the complicated world o f metrics, pulleys and levers. The sophomore biology class studies life through classification o f plants and animals as well as first hand knowledge by dissection. Subject to the sophomore scalpel were worms, grasshoppers, crayfish, perch, and rats.

History classes gave students a better understanding of their world. Three years of history are required of BHS students; sophomores studied world history or world geography, juniors learned American history, and senior students are educated in United States government pro cesses in Civics class. BHS also offered students many other classes in addition to those which are required. These include: psychology, sociology, and Texas history as well as advanced place ment classes. World history involved sophomore students in the study of history from the early Egyptian era to Russian history, through Asian civilizations to Greek and Roman societies. On a more recent level, sophomores reviewed World Wars I and II. For junior students, American history provided a more detailed look at the presidents, outstanding citizens, and the Great Depression, while tracing the advancement of the United States as a nation. Junior and senior students acquired an understanding of the United States government and its functions through the civics classes. Students read Who Runs Congress? and interpreted their understanding o f the book into many reports and presentations. Other subjects for presentation include the presidents and the first ten amendments to the Constitution. Students were also in volved in the free enterprise system, debates, speeches, and plays which supported the text book material. I. Pausing fro m a lecture, M r.

Beginning with the current freshman class, new state legislation required all students to undertake four years of English. These classes helped students improve their speaking, writing, and reading skills. Students learned rules for writing, and completed many exercises to sharpen grammar, punctuation, and spelling skills. Junior students used their writing skills to complete research papers. English also helped students comprehend literature. Freshman students read When the Legends Die and Romeo a n d Juliet, which gave them contrast between classical and more modern works. The sophomores read Childhood’s End, A nim al Farm, The Aeneid, and Julius Caesar. These selections gave sophomores a sampling of different literary classifications. Juniors read the Scarlet Letter, Fahrenheit 451, and The Good Earth. These books gave juniors a view of classic novels.

Both French and Spanish were offered at BHS this year, with second and third year classes available for each. Students learned their new language through drill, with emphasis being placed on grammar and vocabulary. The Spanish classes made and broke pinatas in class, while the French II class held a cooking lab in the home economics kitchens. Both language classes learned popular songs, including Christmas carols, in their respective languages. Popular board games, such as careers, were also practiced by each class.

Physical education offered BHS students a balanced academic schedule. For their 1 Vt years o f required physical education, students chose from classes of gym, Beginning Tennis I, and Beginning Tennis II. P.E. classes gave students motor skill and increased coordination while promoting individual fitness and health. BHS physical education classes allowed participaÂ tion in team sports and individual competitions. Students were actively engaged in calisthenics, weight lifting, football, basketball, volleyball, dodgeball, wiffleball, and running events. In addition to 1 Vs years of physical education, students were required to take one semester o f health. Here students learned about the importance of nutrition. Students used workbooks to record serving sizes, calories, and well-balanced meals. Health classes also in Â formed students about contraction, prevention, and cure of diseases. Drug and alcohol abuse were also studied. Students learned about the abuse, its symptoms, types of help, and prevention. 1 . P .E . girls display their strength. 2 .

The yearbook sta ff had a very trying year. There were only three returning members on the sta ff this year and, though five new members joined the staff, the sta ff remained extremely small. A ll members were taught to make layouts, pick, crop, and number pictures, and to write copy for their sections. Producing the yearbook took many hours of work. Students gave up many hours on weekends and holidays in addition to class time. Because of the demands of the class, two students dropped at semester. This loss was off-set by the addition of one new student. Upon completion o f yearbook material, the annual sta ff set up the Presentation ceremony. Decorations followed the theme, "At the R itz.” Upon completion of presentation, the sta ff alphabetized yearbook receipts, reviewed pages of proofs, and prepared spring activities for the 1986 book. With the arrival o f the new yearbooks, most of the sta ff realized that in spite of demands, their work was rewarding. 1 . D m itri Thom ann photographs a football game.

Sa*uC *Demcut<i& 'P ractice As they do each year, Bulldog band members began their workout in August. This devoted group spent three hours each day, Monday through Friday, in practice to perfect their perfor mances. In addition to these hours, students spent first hour each day in practice. The drums and percussions section held practice sessions each Wednesday night. More practices were scheduled for the band as they were needed. This year's band instructors were Mr. Ted James and Mr. L. E. Gray. Tryouts for the 1984-85 Bulldog band were held last May, with a rhythm exercise included in the tryout material. In order to preserve impartiality, judges were selected from three other schools. Scores from this audition determined the student’s rank in marching band. Concert band was chosen by Mr. James.

* 1 /& c c i£ c o * ta £ £ d Earning a living is the goal of vocational education students. They learn to use their hands and heads together to do a job, to gain an understanding of technology, and to com municate and work with others. Vocational education provides visible results o f student ef forts through student projects. Most vocational classes have been targeted toward junior and senior classmen, though agriculture and home economics have been offered to the lower two classes. Class time is varied from one to three hours. With the exceptions o f agriculture and building trades having their own buildings and cosmetology being held off campus, all classes are held in the vocational wing. Like all areas of activity at BHS, vocational education has felt the effects o f new state legislation. The effects of these laws are not ex tremely pronounced this year, but will bring vast changes in the near future. Because of limited electives and strict planning, the fu ll weight of these changes will affect the 1984-85 freshmen class. Strict schedules will possibly lower vocational education and enrollment. Vocational funding changes passed increased cost on to the local school district. Changes may also include reduced class hours and one hour pre-vocational courses designed to spark freshmen and sophomore interest. New classes will possibly be created such as second or third-year courses; however interest might decline in some areas.

6v ta y Home economics is a diverse field of study at BHS. Included in the home economics departÂ ment are classes of consumer education, clothing and textiles, foods and nutrition, home and family living, home furnishing, and Home Economics Co-operative Education, or H.E.C.E. The consumer education class instructed sophomores, juniors, and seniors in consumer processes such as budgets, credit card uses, in Â surance, and taxes. In the clothing and textiles class, which is open to students for three years, students learned to construct articles of clothing, co-ordinate colors and textures, and care of clothes. Also open to students for three years are foods and nutrition classes. These classes taught students cooking through the use of labs and textbook work. Home and family living educated students in areas o f family life such as marriage, divorce, and child care. Home furnishings classes instructed students in all areas related to houses including selecting the right home, buying a home, building your own home, selecting furniture and color schemes, and applying for mortgages. H.E.C.E. is a co-operative work program for students with careers in areas related to home economics. Future Homemakers Association, F.H.A., is open to all students who participate in the home economics programs.

Marketing and Distribution, commonly called Distributive Education, helped prepare junior and senior students for sales related oc cupations. Each day, D.E. students spent one hour in class and three hours working in a co-operative program. Through the co-operative work program, students were offered on-thejob-training in sales related occupations. Stu dent class time was spent in an imitation job setting. Each student received specific assignments for their job and was evaluated from these to receive wages. A student earned one hour toward his job for each five minutes spent working in class. Students had specified ’paydays” on which they received their checks. Because students deposited the money earned in the "bank” and paid "bills,” they also learned money management. This class helped prepare students for the co-operative work program and jobs after graduation.

In past years, the class constructed a home from foundation to finish, and offered the structure for public sale upon completion. However, new state legislation redirected vocational funding, and a slow real estate market caused the class to abandon tradition for a second year. This year building trades constructed a storage building for sale, and spent time building interior cabinets for the home.

The Student Council had a very active year. Last April at the State STUCO Convention the BHS Student Council was elected State VicePresident for 1984-85. To be elected to this position the council members had to set up a booth, perform a skit, pass flyers, and get the majority of votes. The booth was set up like a hamburger stand and members dressed up like chefs. In the skit members acted out the com mercial "Where’s the Beep", which was the central theme they used. In October the Student Council opened a haunted house for the public. During December they were busy with hall decorations and sing ing carols at the rest homes. Also some members of the Student Council helped the FT A give a party for the children at Head Start. Members donated toys and sweatshirts to be given to the children. February was a very busy month for the Stu dent Council. They sponsored the Special Olym pics. Members kept scores and awarded prizes.

This volleyball season was highlighted by one of the youngest teams fielded by Burk. Made up of two seniors, three juniors, and three sophomores, the team was small in stature and had little prior experience. Their quickness made up for their lack of height though. Playing in a new district alignment, the schedule contained more teams and was very competitive. Tricia Young was named to the All-District second team, as well as nominated as Player of the Year in District 3 - A A A A. A few injuries occurred during the season involving a couple of the team’s explosive starters, but the team managed to end the season 11-13 with a 3-7 district record. New regulations were not effective this year, but they may hurt the team next year. Games next year will be rescheduledfor Saturday instead of Thursdays. A ll practice sessions will be after school due to strict scheduling regulations for girls.

fl/V . S fc iitd The junior varsity volleyball season introduced future potential players. Entering a new district, the games were competitive and played against very tall oppponents. The team performed better than expected for such a young, small team with little experience. The team recorded a 6-7 season with a 1-7 mark for district play. New regulations hindered the team w ith games starting later and girls not returning until very late on school nights. The new varsity rules will apply to theJ.

ÂŁ .* 1 /. S ftC tfo This year's junior varsity played with complete team effort. The usualfive were Brian McClure, Ronnie Ross, Dwayne Browning, Jody Chavis, and Brett Floyd. Outstanding defensive play led to the winning four out of the last six games. The basic control strategy was to defensively hold the opposing team and the game would most likely to be won. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team improved dramatically throughout the season. Burk lost the game against Weatherford by 23 points. Later in the season, Weatherford lost the rematch by 14 points. The defense held and all players performed well, correcting previous mistakes. The junior varsity evenly split the season with an 11-11 overall record, and posted a 6- 3 district season record.

S ix T^Cacc 0*1 Z>U*Uct Four returning starters were among those Bulldogs taking the field last season. Cary Lewis, third base; Clay Martin, catcher;James Whitmore, pitcher. This trio almost led the bulldogs to district finals, but errors and bad breaks in the last district game cost the team a chance at the title. In the season opener, Burk rolled to a stunning 13-3 upset over Bowie. The team was young and basically inexperienced. This caused the loss of some of the close games in district play. Recognition was given to Dwayne Browning, all district pitcher; Homer Guilliams, all-district outfielder;Jason Martin, all-district shortstop; and M ark Ford, all- district designated hitter. Boyd Denner and Bill Bootz received honorable mention all- district. The season ended with a 13-8 record and a 9 -4 district finish.

The senior class o f 1983 had an unforgettable year. There were many things to occupy their time, including senior pictures, caps and gowns, invita tions, homecoming, meetings, college entrance ex ams, and prom. With new state legislation, this year, these events were pressed into extra curricular time. Seniors spent many hours in counselor’s offices choosing the right college, filling out entrance forms, and completing financial aid packets. When graduation finally arrived, students realized that leaving wasn’t as easy as they had expected, and that they would have many memories to take with them.

The junior class o f 1985 had a very busy year. It was the responsibility of the junior class to sponsor the prom. Students were also faced with many of the courses that are required for college in their junior year. New state legisla tion meant an increase of home work, as well as class work in these subjects. The major highlight of the junior year was the ordering of class rings. The arrival of the rings helped the juniors to recognize their "upper-classman" status. Also occupying the junior student’s time was float building. The junior float, an Egyp tian theme, took first place in the Homecoming parade.

Most people consider the sophomore year of high school to be the most demanding. For the sophomores of 1985, this was very true. Sophomore students were faced with hours of algebra, biology, and English. In addition to class work, sophomores had to endure the superiority of upper classmen, though they had freshmen to look down upon. Sophomores also had many activities to look forward to in cluding dances, clubs, and organizations. They became cheerleaders, football players, and club officers, in spite of new legislation, which forc ed students to pursue these activities on their own time. Sophomores proved themselves to be a valuable part of BHS, and have a year of work and change to look back upon.

Freshmen had perhaps the hardest year of all BHS students. They had to be on guard for seniors at all times, adjust to a new school, new teachers and different schedules. Freshmen also had to live with the knowledge that effects of new state legislation began with their class. But before they realized it, the freshman class of 1985 had completed their first year o f high school. They will wait in anticipation until next year, hoping that the next three years will be as enjoyable, though not as frightening, as the first.

The changes that occurred this year at Burkhurnett High School never hampered the dedication among our administration. I f anything their dedication was tested and pro ven to be the best. The new laws and their results were the toughest test. M any hours were spent in workshops and meetings concerned with the new academic changes. The prin cipal’s and other administrator’s workload greatly increased this year due to the multitude o f changes. Mr. Beard kept track of student absenteeism and any other problems that arose, as d id Mrs. Skelton. Mrs. Skelton also taught a Spanish class this year. Mrs. Smiley and Mrs. Patterson were continually tied up with schedules, class counseling, and testing. Mrs. Shmidt stayed busy directing the Vocational Education department. She organized a tour of the Vocational Education program and presented it to the student body in hopes of broadening participation. Mrs. Owen, activity director, prepared activities for the school throughout the year. She also directed the Boomtown Babes. Even w ith the confusion of changesL long hours of paperwork, and the resulting headaches for our administrators, students could still fin d the help they needed from one of these people. The changes this year were trying for everyone, but an administration like ours at Burkburnett High School kept everything together and functioning properly.

One of the biggest changes that affected our school district this year was a change in superintendents. James L. Pearson resigned his position June twenty-eighth. The school board then elected Danny Taylor. The Board of Trustees also voted on behalf of a new P.A. system for the high school. A large change that affected everyone at BHS was the installation of House Bill 246. Texas House Bill 246 was passed by the 67th Texas Legislature and mandates a back-to-the-basics curriculum as developed by the State Board of Education. The plan implemented a well balanced curriculum in 13 subject areas. It also prescribes the "essential elements’’for each these subjects and sets the minimum amount of time to be spent on each subject. Its emphasis is on academic subjects, requiring high school students to earn additional credits in math and English plus Z2 credit in economics. High school students will be able to choose between a 21 credit general graduation plan or 22 credit advanced plan with an honors option. Other provisions: — mandatory fin a l examinations — Required grade of 70 on a 100 point scale for passage from one grade to the next — exit level examinations — career ladders for teachers ( merit pay) — competency testing for teachers

i f . hange is inevitable. And, as it affects all other people and places, change d id affect us at I y Burkburnett High School. There were not only new faces and names to become accustomed to, but also many new rules. â&#x20AC;˘

t took administration, teachers a n d students working together to fam iliarize and accept these new "essential elements" of learning a n d the changes that went along w ith them.

change in "elements â&#x20AC;? also affected the individual student. The individuality of students manifested itself in changes o f knowledge, personality, an d attitudes. Another frequent change is in styles. Uniqueness describes the styles of the 8 0 'sperfectly.

veryone strove to be different. The faces of our graduating class w ill no longer he seen in Burkburnett High School's halls. And, of course, next year the incoming Freshmen fill the empty places.
