As people drive by the co rn er o f K ram er and County roads, they see th is fa m ilia r v ie w o f Burkbumett High School, but the 914 students and the faculty members who enter the halls believe it's much m ore than just a one story brick building built in 1963.

DERRICK Vol. 53 TITLE PAGE

Believe. In â&#x20AC;&#x2122;93 We Believe that Burkbumett High School has everything to offer in the way of academics, athletics, activities, and fun. With so much to offer our student body, it's no wonder how we excel in all areas. In 1990- 92, the football team won district for the second time, the drill team took second place in the nation at Walt Disney World Competition, the soccer team traveled to regional playoffs for the first time, the tennis team ranked eighth at the state tournament, and the UIL team tied for regional championships, advancing six people to state competition. We Believe that these statistics develop a leadership position for us in any competition. Although we strive to continue these winning traditions, we continue to present new traditions and changes. For the first time, a Lady Bulldog has been added to give us a Lord and Lady Bulldog. The PALs sponsored an organization orientation that invited each club to give a presentation, welcomÂ ing new students to each club. STUCO sponsored a mudvolleyball tournament as a new idea for a fund raiser, and it raised $500. Local merchants pitched in to reward students with high grades with the new Honors Card, which offers discounts to those who qualify. To insure safety on our campus, a joint effort between the high school and the police department allows Officer Tommy Thornton to patrol the grounds. Although in 1991-'92 parking stickers were not widely popular, they've beÂ come a necessary item to students, because without one, the parking lots are completely restricted. The tradition of winning and being the best gives Burkbumett High School a reputation worth believing in. -Susan Crum

Sometimes students don't choose the cleanest form of afterschool fun. In fact, the biggest turnout of the year was a mud volley ball tournament. The tournament brought many students from their hiding places to join in on the fun. "The mud volleyball tournament was probably the single most successful event that I've sponsored in the twenty-seven years I've been here," Student Council sponsor, Mrs. Anita Owen said. Students also gathered in the gym on Fridays to give support to the football team. Before the Vemon game, class officers made up a skit to present during the pep rally. Each skit dealt with the defeat of the Vemon Lions. "Pep rallies give you something to look forward to at the end of the week," freshman Robin Ward said. The construction of the class floats to the theme, Game Shows, took team work and lots of time; however, students displayed much enthusiasm in the homecoming pep rally against Azle, according to STUCO president, Brock Nemecek. On the serious side, students responded to current events such as the presidential election between President George Bush, Ross Perot, and Arkansas governor, Bill Clinton, and the hurricanes Andrew and Iniki that destroyed parts of Florida and Kauai, Hawaii. ” 1was very relieved when people all over the U.S. gave aid to Florida residents," freshman Amber Beeman said. "Many peo ple volunteered to assist with the clean-up." Whatever they may do or however they choose to occupy their time, students believe there's life after school. -Amy Beeman

/ INITIATIONS

As many students join the high school and dif ferent clubs and activi ties, older members wel come them with a bang as the new members en dure the trials known as initiation. Th e fresh m an d rill team members received a surprise one Saturday morning this summer. The sen io r m em b ers awoke the freshmen and brought them in their p.j.'s to the football prac tice field. During the foot ball practice, the fresh men were required to serenade the players. "It was embarassing to sing in our pajamas, but it made me feel closer to the seniors,” Lori Gary

said. Other initiations per formed on the new drill tea m m e m b e rs w e re wearing lipstick on their faces and fish shapes around their neck that read, "I Love My Seniors '93” . Although freshmen are the main target for initi ation, other groups per form such rituals also. The n ational Honor Society welcomes its new members with a compli mentary breakfast. The only catch is that the older members are al lowed to dress the new m em bers up h ow ever th ey w ant, and then tra n s p o rt th e m blinfolded to the Interna

"It's a good incentive for students and a great way to get free food," senior Kristen Baker said. Community stores and businesses agreed to support students who achieve grades equaling B or above, good conduct, and no unexcused absences with discounts at numerous stores. This program was a county-wide effort to encourage students to strive for higher academic standards, according to counselor Mrs. Gloria Bond. Many changes have been made to improve the TAAS test scores. Students will be taking this test in May at the end of the tenth grade year instead of the beginning o f the junior year. After the '92 UIL team tied for Regional Championship, six students were sent to state competition. The UIL Current Events team placed for the second consecutive year at state. The '93 UIL team began early with after school practices and by atÂ tending the Super UIL Conference. Many freshman level classes such as CLA, Intro, to Physical Science, and several fundamental math classes have been dropped from the curriculum. To prepare students for the "real world," a fax machine was added for the office occupation classes. "The fax machine has really helped prepare all o f us for the real business world," senior Cade Griffis said.

"This course is impor tant because it supplies students with the learned skills that can be used later in life, and also by those who plan to con tinue their education at a technical school.” said Mr. J.D.

Most of the students re alize and take note o f the many career opportuni

classes use computer lab

To enrich the English curriculum, a computer writing lab was created with 26 Apple HE com puters last year. According to Mrs. Di ana Bohuslav, there are two major advantages to the computer lab. It pre pares students for the "rea l world, which is filled with computers,” and gives them experi ence for employment. For students who hate writing and rewriting, the computer provides easi er revision, while also proving to have better re sults. "It makes me feel great

Juniors and seniors make the most o f the computers during the re search paper deadline rush, while freshman and sophomores work mainly on grammar exercises and creative writing skills to help im prove their scores on such tests as the ACT and the SAT. "The computer lab has introduced us to the computers we will use later on in life,” senior Melissa Hanks said. Hopes of new software

and hardware for the lab may become reality. Mrs. Bohuslav would like to see the Apple IIE's re placed with Macintoshes.

Athletes from every field and court exhibited their talents this past season and have began many new traditions for future Bulldogs. The upcoming stars of Burkbumett will show that practice does pay off as many players will prove on game days. Bulldog athletes will give the true definition of tradition and allow them to say that Victory Lies In The Heart. The bench clears and the team sprints onto the field after the final out was made in the Area Championship baseball game against the #5 state- ranked Fort Worth Arlington Heights. This win proved that every player had Victory In His Heart. "We lost a few key players, but with as many people as we have coming back, a third District Championship is well in reach,â&#x20AC;? senior Chad Lobaugh said. Participants in several sports showed dedication and a will to win as they competed for District titles. Athletes in football, baseball, and soccer competed for repeat and even three-peat District Championships, while hucksters sprinted and jumped their way to Victory. With adrenaline pumping fast, every athlete will trudge their way through new seasons, but they will all believe true athletes live with Victory In Their Heart.

The Junior Varsity concluded their season with a record of 8-1. Entering their first year of high school proved dif ficult for the freshman team.

sons. Sophomores Josh K o llm a n an d M att Guinan b ro u gh t with them the ability to shoot three pointers from any where on the court. Ed die Donnell becam e a major liability on the in side. They brought their talents up a level to be noticed and highly re garded by other oppo nents. " H a v in g the you n g guys on the team made the veterans play harder to keep their positions," sen ior Jerry Hampton said. “ Even when one of the new players went into the game, we all knew

that they could help pick up some o f the slack in a slow game." The young team re ceived a lot of good ex perience. They learned how to keep their cool in tight situations and how to keep the pressure on when ahead. ''With experience we learn ed from playin g against older and higher quality players," sopho more Eddie Donnell said. "I expect us to fair well the next couple of sea sons." — Rodney MeCleskey

The JV's sea son concluded with a rec ord of 6-4. "We had a good sea son and I look for us to do well as many of us move up to Varsity next year," sophomore Allen Carr said. "What made this season turn out so well was that we began to play together." The JV team was put in m any tig h t c o rn e rs throughtout their entire season, but they put forth a little extra effort

and came out on top when the final hom blew. "We were able to pull out some tight games this season and put up a few wins for ourselves," J oh n O ttm a n s a id . "Although we got tired of having to pull the game out in the final seconds, I think we gained experi ence from them." The freshmen squad battled hard this season, and put together a record of 2-8 in district play. "With a lack of expe rience on the team," Na than Mowatt said, "w e had to pull to g e th e r m o re and p la y as a tea m .” -R o d n e y MeCleskey

Maying History Kickingfheir way past district T I T ®

many retumvarsity players, the Dogs, Which started 3-0, were ffible to beat Rider, the number one district and Bi-District champs for five years straight. "T h e Rider victory boosted everyb o d y 's confidence and caused us to play where we should;” Coach Martin Metcalf said. "We worked hard this year, and they improved their skills, giv ing them the ability to be the best team in Burk his tory." " I feel this year we were more diverse in at tacking, and the team is more unified,” Coach Bob Carper said.

The Dogs placed third at the Denton Tourna ment and fourth at the Copell Tournament. "I felt that we should have won the C o p ell Tournament, because the opposing teams were not o f equal stature to us, we just played poor ly," team captain Bran don Olds said. "I think the wins are well deserved because we worked and came out winners," senior Jared Miller said "Our main goal this year for the varsity team was winning district, and to make the playoffs," Chad Antwine said. — Scott Beaty

As the school year began, the PALs offered a new student orientation for freshmen and new students. Each organization set up a booth to provide information about their organization. "This orientation should become an annual event and hope fully next year more students will participate," senior PALs representative Jason Hall said. Special requirements were needed to be members of some organizations, such as Thespians. To be a member, a student had to aquire 10 points. These points were received by attending certain theatrical performances. Other organizations such as STUCO and BADD were easy to join. Students attended a certain number of meetings and then they were members. Some students were chosen to be a part of an organization. Every year students are chosen by the student body to be PAL representatives. These students gave younger students, in dif ferent situations, a friend to talk to. The '92 PALs were introduced to a new sponsor, Mrs. Beverly Lee. The new PALs and the new sponsor made it through the year working as a team. Organizations sponsored many activities such as mud vol leyball, a United Way Fund Drive, Food Bank collection, and nursing home visits to involve students with their city and school. A guest speaker sponsored by BADD spoke to students at an all-school assembly during Drug Awareness Week. His message was to make students aware of the effects of drugs and alcohol and to teach students to believe in themselves. By helping others and gathering fellowship, the members leam They Stand United. -Amie Hawkins

Two nights a week the girls worked on contest material which consisted of, "A Salute to Rogers and H am m erstein,” a high kick, and "Cats," a novelty routine. For the first time in drill team history the girls

performed a military rou tine at contest, “ Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.” In March the Babes traveled to Dallas and San Antonio for contests.

The student body shrank to 914 students compared to last year s 930 students. Though the seniors were at the top, they were tied in size with the freshmen with 245 students each. The sophomores trailed with 224, while the juniors finished up with 200. The seniors showed their reign as leaders of the school and 'welcomed" the new freshmen, while the juniors gained the status of becoming upperclassmen and were a year closer to graduating. The sophomores acquired their licenses to drive, and the freshmen only received the nickname, "Fish!" Taking one test or another kept most students oc cupied. As a new requirement, sophomores took the TAAS in May, while the juniors enrolled in the advanced plan were given the opportunity to take the PSAT in October. "I really don't like to take all these tests because they always get me real stressed out," junior Trent Viavattene said.

"Adjusting to the life of a high school freshman was not easy,” Robin Ward said. "Going from the oldest in junior high to the youngest in high school, would scare anyone." There were 245 freshmen who faced this transition. However, after the first couple of weeks it was not unusual to find fresh men and seniors together at lunch, in the halls, and at the games.

ummer Olympics Working for advancement to enter the Summer Olympics, Jessicaa Ashby diligently prac tices fencing. She wants to succeed in ob taining a Fencing Scholarship from Chicago University, making fencing a major priority in her life. "Fencing is the most elegant sport,” Jessicaa said, "and it al ways allows me to relax and have some fun.” Recent statistics show that no more than 3,000 people in the United States fence and only about half o f them compete. Jessica has been fencing for almost two years. A friend in spired her to fence one day when she was attentively watching as two people provoked each other with their foils. In a com petition against a good competitor Jessicaa's leg was injured but she kept on fight ing with determination. That

night Jessicaa went home with a victory. "I do it because I love it, and I love it because I do it,” Jessicaa said. Some may think that football is an expensive and dangerous sport, but fencing is the ultimate challenge both money-wise and mentally. For Jessicaa to fence, she has to own a mask, a breast plate, a glove, and a pair o f fencing pants. She also has to practice problem-solving skills. Jessicaa pays about $600 for equipment and anywhere from $5 to $30 an hour for lessons. "Fencing is addictive,” she said. "When you start you just can't stop.” -Rebekah Clark

After continuously being on the honor roll and mak ing high achievement scores, Kerrie was admitted to the Gifted and Talented (GT) programs first at Kate Haynes Elem entary School in Wichita Falls, then Burkburnett Junior High School, and n ow B u rkbu rn ett High School. "W e don't have to follow as many rules," she said, "and we get to express our creativity." Kerrie's hobbies are reading and writing in her spare time. Kerrie reads classics and poetry. That might explain why English has always been one of her bet ter subjects. Her favorite poet is William Yeats. Since seventh grade, she has written approximately fifty poems. "I would like to enter some in a contest one day," Kerrie said.

Last year she won sixth out of 600 in the nation with her essay in the Kniqhts of Columbus con test. In her later years, Kerrie would like to become a writer. If she goes to college to improve her literary skills, Kerrie will prob ably go to Oxford University in England.

Jeff Farris, otherwise known as #25 on the Freshman football team, plays wide receiver and of fensive back on both the offen sive and defensive sides. "My dad inspired me because he's always been beside me in everything I've done,” Jeff said. His favorite professional team is the Dallas Cowboys; however, he idolizes Greg Hill, running back for Texas A&M. Jeff feels that Greg Hill has shown him the qualities needed to be the kind of player he wants to be. Playing summer league base ball gave Jeff more experience as a pitcher and catcher. Jeff plans on playing for school this year, and the years to come. He is also involved in many other sports such as basketball and track. Staying in volved in sports keeps him busy, but he manages to take time out for his family

and friends. Jeff enjoys being treasurer of the freshman class because the position gives him the chance to represent his friends and class mates. "I like being the class treas urer,” Jeff said, "because it en ables me keep up with school functions and activities.” Jeff s plans for the future do include college at Texas A&M; however, his career goals have not yet been finalized. I would like to go further in life with my athletic abilities,” he said, "but if I don't succeed, I would like to be a coach and help the younger generation ful fill their dreams. -Jennifer Picard

I B e lie v e In ’93 a We Believed, and yes, we succeeded in '93. Our accomplish ments have met and exceeded any goals that have been set from tradition. Believing in ourselves has put us above and beyond the rest. Accomplishment remains our number one priority, and Mandy Maron accomplished a high honor by being one of 300 students nationwide to attend the Presidential Inauguration for Bill Clinton. "It was a really great thing to be at, and I feel honored by being selected out of so many Kids," Mandy said. In 1974 Zac Henderson signed a school record breaking football contract with Oklahoma University, and Skip Hicks is the first student since Zac to sign for a scholarship that large. "Although UCLA wasn't my first choice, I'm really happy about the chance to play for them," Skip said. ” 1feel honored that they have given me this opportunity." After teachers visited Garland High and the Campus Improve ment Team presented a flexible scheduling plan to the faculty, the community and School Board adopted the alternate day block schedule. This schedule will allow longer classes and more course selection for next fall. Other achievements include our school curriculum. The soccer team played Rider and defeated them for the first time in the high school's history. Also, the choir produced three superior rating UIL singers, Mindy Morgan, Lashay Bankhead, and Jason Bankhead. Mindy and Jason went to state competition to represent the high school in May. After looking back at all we accomplished in '93, it is no wonder We Believe. -Susan Crum
