DERRICK Burkburnett High School 109 K ram er Road Burkburnett, Tx 76354 (817) 569-1411 Enrollment 1014 District: 7-4A Volume 55 AR RIVING AT SCHOOL on the first day, freshman Amber Holland receives a greet ing from seniors Stacy Foix and Jennifer Doty. The Class of ’95 welcomed the fresh men with signs, creating the Ultimate Ex perience.

TITLE PAGE

'95 brought new leadership to the high school experience. The new principal, Stan Owen, and assistant principals, Danny Nix and Shelley Sweatt helped start the year. "I think this year's changes in regulations helped to decrease the amount of tardies, absentees, and problems that have developed in the past," senior Missy Malone said. The Ultimate Experience includes the new beginnings for the freshmen, graduation for the seniors, and newschool rivals as the Bulldogs moved from 5-4A to 7-4A. The X in the theme is enlarged to symbolize the unknowns that we experience daily, as well as being significant to the African Americans and representing our generation. Time described "Generation X," as the youth bom after 1965 who "have trouble making decisions... would rather hike the Himalayas than climb the corporate ladder... have few heroes, few anthems, and no style to call their own. They have no distinguishing characteristics, hence the X " As a school, we hope to prove this generalization incorrect, making '95 the ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE! Jennifer Picard

OPENING

With the growing number of students on campus, students found more opportunities to eXpress their individuality. Keeping with school spirit, pep rallies gave students a chance to express their Bulldog pride. For homecoming, classes joined together to decorate their floats and dress in costumes to the theme of "cartoons." The third annual mud volleyball tournament hosted by the student council brought out some muddy expressions on people's faces. With over 120 students participating, it was the largest turnout since the tournament began. While the seniors began turning their thoughts toward college and careers, freshmen were adjusting to being the new faces on campus. "At first it was tough being a member of the youngest class at school, but each day I grew more and more comfortable," Amanda Whaley said. During Channel One, students examined the current events. O.J. Simpson's double murder trial, President Clinton sending troops to Haiti, and a baseball strike that resulted in the first cancellation of a World Series in 90 years dominated the news. "I think that the [baseball] players shouldn't worry so much about the money they earn; it's pretty selfish to go on strike and ruin the World Series," sophomore Dylan Bryant said. However students chose to eXpress themselves, they made sure that theirs was the ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE. Kari Morgan

After a full day of serv ing, setting, and spiking in knee high muddy water, students emerged from the pits drenched with m ud, b u t s u rp ris in g ly enough, no blood! “ I liked seeing people who are normally so neat and clea n ca ke d w ith m u d ,” s a id K e rry Lobaugh, a member of Pyromaniacs. The pits were dug by the city and the fire de partment supplied the gal lons of water needed for the muddy pools. WalMart provided the location by allowing the games to take place behind their store, and Sheppard Air Force Base donated the nets.

With 20 teams consist ing of six or more players, the third annual STUCO event was the largest turn out the tournament had seen. Besides being a crowd gatherer, the tour nament earned over $500 for STUCO. “ I feel that out of all three years, this year was the most successful,” said Jennifer Doty, the STUCO president and Power Mud Sisters team member. ‘‘It seemed like there was m ore p a rticip a tio n and team spirit.” At the end of the day, after the mud-slinging had ceased, the Meekers were the winning team for the second year in a row.

Starting the season with the theme, “ You Gotta Be lieve,” the football team helped excite the crowd by painting their faces or ange and black for the first pep rally. “ In my 23 ye a rs as cheerleader sponsor I’ve had a lot of successful pep rallies, but this one tops the list,” Mrs. Anita Owen said. Every pep rally revolved around a theme, which was carried out by a skit. A few of the skits included the football players dress ing up as the cheerleaders

With the new Advanced Placement programs added in English, mathematics, history, and science, accelerated students could earn college credit by an eXam at the close of the year. "AP courses offer students the opportunity to earn college hours during high school, thereby saving them both time and money during their post-secondary education," said English department chairperson Mrs. Vera Ward. "In addition these students will have practiced time-management and study skills so that their success in college is almost guaranteed." Other new classes offered included Spanish III and German. These classes allowed students to eXamine and evaluate their foriegn language skills. "I took German because my grandfather is German, and I am interested in being able to speak the language fluently," freshman Josh Lawson said. "I was also very impressed with Mr. Collado, the German teacher, because he is able to speak so many different languages." Challenging opportunities were created by new courses, the basics, and electives which tossed students into a whirlwind of challenge. This created an environment for the ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE!

BOVE For the first time, ad vanced p la c e m e n t courses in English, social science, math, and sci ence were added to the curriculum. These classes offered a more indepth study of the s u b je c t as w e ll as a chance to test out of a col lege course, according to Mrs. Vera Ward, English department chairperson. “ Under the AP program students receive attention on a better teacher-pupil ratio than they could in college,” biology teacher Jim Wright said. “ The one most im portant aspect that students need to un derstand to succeed in AP 30 AP COURSES

is that they must be self motivated to learn.” In May students were tested for college credit for a $70 fee. Some students reported that the extra w ork in volved was difficult to do with after school jobs, ath letic events, and other school functions. “ It is definitely a chal lenge to maintain good grades in AP classes at the same time you have the responsibilities of a job,” senior Connie Toal son said. “ If you are not careful, it is really easy to become overwhelmed by such a workload and fall behind.” -Shonna Gibson

TO REVIEW FOR the SAT and ACT, Justin Beesinger listens as Mrs. M elanie Selvidge tries to help him better understand the preparatory material.

College REPERATION While some might think that a high school diploma is all it takes to advance to college, the truth is that s a tis fa c to r y A C T /S A T scores are necessary. Since these tests are so important to a college ca reer, a preparatory pro gram fo r the ACT/SAT tests has been added to the elective curriculum. “ T h e s e p re p a ra to ry classes expose the stu dents to a new world of v o c a b u la ry ,” said Mrs. M e la n ie S e lv id g e , ACT/SAT preparatory insructor. The ACT/SAT class is only one semester long, but the students use com puter programs four times o u t o f th e s e m e s te r. T h e s e c o m p u te r p ro grams help with English, math, and science. ‘‘The ACT/SAT prepa ratory class helped me raise my scores a great deal, and it really helps to

know what the structure of the test will be,” senior Jodi Gilbertson said. ‘‘Using practice tests about six times out of the semester helps the kids with the structure of the test," Mrs. Selvidge said. The PSAT results are used to determine Nation al Merit Scholarship Win ners. The test is verbal and math, and focuses on critical thinking skills. The PSAT is a predictor of a student’s score on SAT I. C ourses th a t help stu dents prepare for all these tests emphasize building vocabulary and improving critical reading skills. ‘ ‘Sophomores are en couraged to take PSAT for p ra c tic e b e c a u s e th e scores taken during their junior year are the ones that count,” Mrs. Sue Kin caid, gifted and talented teacher said. -Jodi Landrum

Hands-On XPERIENCE Greasy fingers, paint guns, and sawdust are an everyday factor for some students that are living the Ultimate Experince. Mr. J.D. Allen, auto body teacher, instructs three separate classes. These classes include Auto Body, Collision, and Repair and Refinishing. “ We teach every aspect of the auto body trade," Mr. Allen said. "When a student finishes my course I want him or her to be prepared to further their skills in trade school perhaps.” Teaching alongside Mr. Allen is auto mechanics teacher, Mr. David Ress. Auto Mechanics is a course that deals with an automo bile’s inner components. "I take these courses be cause I feel that they will really help me in the future to further my career,” sen ior Barry Harris said. O the r " h a n d s - o n ” courses include introduc tion to construction carpen

try and instruction carpen try. These courses are taught by Mr. Tim Mullins. His main goal for all stu dents is to learn responsi bility and how to follow or ders. The carpentry classes are normally assigned one big project a year. The proj ects sometimes even in clude constructing build ings for the school district. "I have always been in terested in working with my hands," Mr. Mullins said. "A t the end of the year there is a great sense of accomplishment when we have completed something we can see.” “ Some students in these classes join VICA, Voca tional Industrial Clubs of America. It is a national or ganization of career and technical education based programs. Since all stu dents are not college bound this program educates stu dents in technology and ca reer training,” Mr. Allen said. -Holly Carroll

In order to lessen the work load of teachers and to train students in office skills, an office link pro gram under the leadership o f M rs . W anda S m ith teaches students with on the job training. Office link students are chosen by teacher recom mendation based on class behavior, attendence, and attitude. Recommendation is followed by an employ ment interview with Mrs. Smith. R eq uirem ents during the interview are having had a computer class in the past and being familiar with the com puter pro grams. If the interview is successful, the student begins office training. The student is paid as a school employee, working during Mrs. Smith’s conference hours and after school from 3 to 4 p.m. “ Being in office link is a

I N

great training station for s tu d e n ts ,” M rs. Sm ith said. “ It provides many benefits and learning ex periences that help to pre pare fo r future employ ments.” L e a rn in g to h a n d le p h o n e s w itc h b o a r d s , work computers, and use critical thinking skills are just a few of the many positive aspects of the of fice link program, accord ing to Mrs. Smith. “ As an office link I feel that I not only help Mrs. Smith and other faculty members, but I also am bettering myself for the fu ture office work,” Mindy Morgan. Furthermore, many stu dents help out as office aides and teacher’s aides during their free period for no cost. The students are offered this as an elective for no credit. -Stacy Folix

Expanding ANGUAGES With the new school year came many opportu nities for students to ex pand their knowledge. For the first time, Ger man was offered to stu dents. “ I was very impressed by Mr. Julius Collado, the new German te a ch e r,” Josh Lawson, freshman said. “ He knew so many languages.” This year Spanish III was also offered to stu dents. This gave students a chance to further their study of the Spanish lan

guage, where as before students w ere only of fered two years of the lan guage. “ I found the third year of Spanish very in-depth,” Dylan Bryant, sophomore, said. “ I am really glad I challenged myself.” Discovering new oppor tunities, students opened d o o rs fo r th e m s e lv e s .

Labs HALLENGE ‘‘Being able to actually e x p e rim e n t w ith a lab helps me learn a lot more than just reading from a textbook,” Jodi Landrum, AP biology II student, said. Sewing and cooking are two more hands on labs th a t g iv e s tu d e n ts a chance to challenge them selves. “ One of the best things about home economics is that the student’s learning is visable,” Mrs. Miller, c o o k in g a n d s e w in g teacher, said. “ Once com plete, a student can look at the finished product and have something to be proud of.” Whether typing a report or baking a cake labs of fered resources and chal lenges that deepened a student’s classroom ex perience. -Holly Carroll

From science to sewing many students found that lab work added an inter esting spice to one’s daily schedule. With research and term papers due, English class es bounced to and from M rs. Diana B o h u sla v’s writing and computer lab. “ I feel that students us ing the commputer lab is a c c o m p lis h in g se ve ral th in g s ,” Mrs. Bohuslav said. ‘‘They are all becom ing more computer literate and realizing that comput ers are not something to be afraid of.” Chemistry and biology are two classes that have also been involved with lab work. With the new AP program labs have be come even a greater part of the s tu d e n t’s classwork.

Learning OGETHER To keep students inter ested in class, teachers in cluded group work in their lessons. M rs . J a n e t N ile s , French teacher, has kept her students busy by al lowing them to explore the language in small groups. “ It feels good to know other people are having the same questions and troubles as you,” PhuongAnh Nguyen said. “ Plus, Mrs. Niles is usually pretty cool about letting us pick our own group.” Mrs. Sheryl Carpenter, honors geography teach er, spiced up class by gathering students into five groups and allowing each group the opportu nity to teach a portion of the lesson. For the first time, AP Bi ology II students were al lowed to work in pairs on their science fair experi ments. Students were in

Coopera tive learning is an excep tional part of this pro gram.” Mrs. Sandy Hamilton’s English students spent time working with part ners.

Searching for the ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE, the Bulldogs showed their winning spirit and athletic talents in a wide variety of sports, each bidding for the chance to shine. With the new school year, our athletic program entered the 7-4A district and gained competition and new challenges from Sherman, Denison, and Denton West. "It was unusual and different to play teams from other areas," senior Theresa Land said. Also, with prospects of a girl's softball team, the year promised to be very eXciting and eventful. At the beginning of the football season, team members chose the slogan "You Gotta Believe," to raise the spirit of the student body, as well as the community. This slogan was largely displayed at pep rallies and also on the back of t-shirts that the football team wore each game day. Most importantly, this motto helped the athletes remind themselves that with belief in one's self, anything is possible. With eXciting seasons, Bulldog Pride, and continued hope for District Championships, all of the athletes endeavoured to participate in a year that promised to be the ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE!

With the move to District 7-4A, the Varsity Dogs an ticipated a difficult football season with the addition o f tw o s ta te - r a n k e d teams, Sherman and Den ison. “ I think you would have to go back to the days w hen we p la y e d Brownwood to find a time when our d is tric t was tougher,” Head Coach Jerry Watson said. The Bulldogs opened the season with a crush ing 36-0 victory over the Iowa Park Hawks. That victory was followed by consecutive losses to Boswell, Rider, and Ver non. “ I think that most of the losses all pointed to the same thing,” Center Mi 46 VARSITY FOOTBALL

chael Rariden said. “ We outplayed them on both sides of the ball, but small mistakes ended up beat ing us.” Coach Watson cited in consistency as one of the major problems as well as the injuries the team suf fered to Darrel James, Rahsaan Jackson, and other key players through out the season. The Dogs opened Dis trict play with a win over Northwest. The Bulldogs finished District with a 1-5 record and an overall rec ord of 2-7. With the loss of 25 seni ors to g ra d u a tio n , the team for next season will be young. -C asey H uckabee and Brad Bloss

Five wins and five loss es- that’s how the Bulldog junior varsity football team ended their first season in the newly reformed dis trict. Like the varsity team, the junior varsity had to face two new difficult op ponents, the Denison Yel low Jackets and the Sher man Bearcats. Also like the varsity, the JV suf fe re d d e fe a ts a g a in s t these two newcomers, 1425 against Sherman and 0-34 against Denison. Despite these losses, the JV had it’s share of big wins. Junior varsity de feated the Rider Raiders, a 5A team, by a score of 37-6. A n o th e r big win

came ag ain st B osw ell. Last year, their freshman team beat the Bulldog freshman team 34-18, but this year the JV turned things around and defeat ed them 18-0. “ I think playing hard teams like Denison and Sherman will pay off for me in the next couple of ye a rs th ro u g h e x p e ri ence,” sophomore line backer Jason Bynum said. The challenge created by the expansion of the district also affected the freshman team. They had a more difficult season, finishing with 2 wins, 7 losses, and 1 tie. — James Bynum

New and traditional organizational activities, fundraisers, and meetings all contributed in creating the Ultimate Experience, On campus over 20 extracurricular organizations were offered to the student body. This gave people of all types an opportunity to be surrounded by people with similar interests. "I feel like there is much more involvement as well as the clubs increasing in number, and I would like to attribute this to the senior class," Mrs. Anita Owen, activity director, said. "Their spirit has been exceptional for school spirit as well as class involvement." Crimestoppers and ROTC were two new groups on campus. Crimestoppers offered rewards to the student body in exchange for clues relating to various campus crimes. "I think Crimestoppers is a postive way to stop our crime," junior Kristi Hume said. Renting a personal book carrier was one ROTC fundraiser. "Being in ROTC gives me a chance to feel pride for our country and myself," Chris Taylor, ROTC member said. "It also teaches me military bearing." From drill team and band to various academic extracurricular organizations, groups brought together school pride to make '95 the ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE!

In the newly established Junior Reserves Officers Training Course, JROTC, 46 Burkburnett students are bused to Hirschi every other day for class. The JROTC program teaches them map skills, survival skills, marching skills, the spirit of American citizen ship, self esteem, and teamwork. Many envision JROTC as a class for those that want to join the military. “ The purpose of the JROTC program is not to influence high school stu dents to join the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Ma rines,” Colonel Pettibon said. “ It’s main motive is to motivate young people

to be better Americans. Not only is there a class for JROTC, but there is also a colorgaurd, consist ing of four students who present the colors at pep rallies, fo o tb a ll games, town meetings, and during drill meets. Crimestoppers is an or ganization with eight stu d e n t b o a rd m e m b e rs .

PEOPLE DIVIDER

With extra students on campus, people showed their eXemplary skills and each searched for their own Ultimate Experience. Increasing from 934 students to 1,014, the most growth occurred in the freshmen class, with 291 students. Although it was not the largest, the senior class still dominated the campus. The sophomores trailed the freshmen with 265; while the junior class had only 219 people. The Ultimate Experience was different for every class. Seniors were busy welcoming freshmen, and preparing for their future, while juniors prepared for prom.Sophomores changed for tradition by dominating the homecoming pep rally with their first place float. Finally, freshmen met the challenge of their new experience at high school with initiation, off campus lunches, and many social events. Another Ultimate Experience for all classes was the Student Council mud volleyball tournament "Watching the tournament last year, it seemed so much fun that I decided to join a team with my friends to play this year," sophomore Phuong-Anh Nguyen said. In '95, people showed an eXemplary nature and lived the ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE! Allison Cely

The ROTC of fered Faith and other corp

members an opportunity to succeed. “ ROTC prepares you for life,” Faith said. “ Wearing th is u niform makes us stand up tall and proud.” Faith, who plans to enlist in the Air Force after grad uation feels that ROTC ia a great way to discover if a person is meant for the mil itary or not. “ It’s the first time I’ve felt confident about going into the military,” Faith said.

The awards and ribbons Faith received can give her an edge so when she joins the Air Force she can rank higher than the other new recruits. She hopes the B urkburnett ROTC pro gram will be expanded so more people can be in volved. IT’s a glance at what I’m about to face,” Faith said. Allison Cely

illiams plays football and golf with enthusiasm Practicing year round since the sixth grade, sports enthusiast Michael Williams has played on the football and golf team for four years. His grandfather, who coached at BJHS for over 10 years, inspired him to excel at football and golf. Williams’ role model is Dallas Cowboy quarter back Troy Aikman.

ratt challenged by basketball Finding time to play basket ball doesn’t create a problem for junior, Kory Pratt. He’s been playing basketball since age six. He’s known as number 31 on the varsity basketball team and plays forward. “ My two older brothers have had the most influence on me,” Pratt said, “ because of all the help and support they have giv en me.” P ra tt’s favorite basketball teams are the Seattle Supersonics and the Arkansas Razorbacks. He plans to play basketball in college. “ I would like to make a pro fession out of playing basket

ball, because every player’s dream is to go to the NBA,” he said. Staying involved in basketball has kept him busy, but he man ages to take time out for his fam ily, frie n d s, and school work. Pratt’s favorite subject is science, because he says it’s easy and he’s always been good at it.” In his spare time, he usually e ith e r hangs o u t w ith his frie n d s , sits at home, lifts weights, or shoots hoops at the gym. Although basketball has been a great challenge in his life, he doesn’t mind it at all because of the fun and competition it has brought him. — Kathy Le

Jackson, who has been play ing basketball since he was in the first grade, played for the freshman team. “ Basketball is a way I ex press myself and an escape from all my troubles,” Jackson said.

INDEX

197

"The Ultimate Experience" of '95 surrounded students as various events brought them together, while providing lasting memories. The community and high school united to donate time and money to Dan Rogers, father of sophomore Ryan Rogers. Mr. Rogersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; diagnosis of leukemia envoked fundraisers such as a dance and aipiculty/student basketball tournament which alone raised about SI ,200 for his fund at the bank. The Babes and FCA were among other organizations who contributed their money and effort. Crimestoppers cracked down on crime by urging students to report crimes they witnessed, and perhaps receive a reward. Seniors Jodi Landrum and Sarah Baker went to the International Science Fair in Canada while senior Jennifer West went to Nationals in Nashville, Tennessee for BPA. The girls' basketball team won the Bi-District Title, while the girls' volleyball team advanced to Bi-District Teams qualifying for regionals included the boys' basketball team, the soccer team, the cross country and tennis teams. This also marked the first year Burkburnett High School had a girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; softball team. Reflecting on all that was achieved, 1995 definitely proved itself to be "The Ultimate Experience." -Jennifer Picard and Kari Morgan
