they experienced, the thoughts they had — the year it became. In spite of the sometimes overwhelming work, students and teachers alike found new ways tc fly above and beyond the challenges presented to them.

DON’T LET THE forces o f gravity limit your potential. With seniors d ecid in g on p o st graduation work and college plans and freshmen adapting to the demands o f high school, students worked to lift themselves above and beyond in all areas o f academics. A change in the grading system from six six-week periods to four nine-week periods enabled many students to raise their grades above those o f past years. “ The new nine-week grading system gave many o f us more time to raise low grades before report cards came out,” junior Becky Hedges said.

In Mr. Ron Lawson's Eng lish IV classes, students com piled a “ senior scrapbook” for the first time.

Teen S p irit: Decisions bring seniors together Although the seniors ranked last in size with 211 students, their spirit was high while they worked together to build their homecoming float. The senior class officers were faced with decision making, ranging from the float to graduation announcements. With the category superheroes, the seniors chose “ Batman” as their theme for their float, which received second place at the pep rally. “ After last year’s victory with our ‘Juniors of O z’ float, we were hoping for a repeat, ” senior Danielle Anderson said, “ it didn’t matter what place we received because we had really pulled together.” The float was Batman’s trademark, the Batmobile, with appearances from the villians of Gotham. Because Memorial Auditorium was too small to accom modate students, family and friends, graduation was at MSC1 in D.L. Ligon Coliseum. “ W e’re very lucky to have a larger facility to m ove to,” Principal Stan Owen said. “ Some parents wouldn’t attend because of crowding.”

what seniors did: As seniors walk away from their high school years and into their future, they will think back upon the memories that fill them with joy and heartache. These memories will carry them through the upcoming years. They will remember football games and pep rallies, boyfriends and girlfriends and English and math class. "The thing I remember most about my years at Burk are the pep rallies and walking through the tunnels at football games,” Tyler Doyle said. People remember different things about areas o f life. Some people will remember their first job or the day they got their car; others will remember their special family moments. "I remember when we all loaded up into a truck the last day of eighth grade,” senior April Owen said. “ Initiation was the best.” Going from a loss during a football game to a victory at homecoming, these years will be remembered by all. From exemptions to taking semester tests, six week grading periods to nine week grading periods and from prom to graduation, these can be the best years of their lives. Beyond their walk down Senior Hall, their destination is unknown. -by Am ber Holland

New H o rizo n s:

Early grads strive to meet new goals Seniors who graduated at semester and juniors graduating a full year early has become more popular. “ I am graduating because I wanted to get a quicker start on life, and be able to get out o f college at a younger age,” senior Jennifer Child said. Some students have said “ it’s not fair” that early gra duates get out of school work, but they spend their spare time studying to make graduating possible. “ I ended up taking double histories instead of electives, and I spent a lot of my summer vacation doing correspond ence classes,” senior Megan Johnson said. Along with this extra work, early graduates believe that valuable skills are learned. “ Graduating early gave me a goal, helped me learn re sponsibility (correspondence), and get a head start on adult life,” senior Nicola Bennett said. Also, state policy guarantees, to students who graduate one year early and have gone to Burkburnett High School for all three years, a $1,000 scholarship to any Texas college, from the school. “ Graduating early was well worth it,” Johnson said. ■by Dawn Marie Peters

School recognizes PSAT semifinalists Taking the PSATS and studying from a practice book or on a computer program are good ways to study for the major tests required from most colleges. Doing well on these tests can be a major reward. Joey Foley and Chris Solnok earned this reward. They did so well on their PSATS that they were semifinalists for the 1998 PSAT Merit Scholarship competition. PSATS are the Pre-SAT test that give practice to students. Semifinalists are the highest scorers in each of the 50 states and represent half o f one percent o f each state’s graduating seniors. “ Receiving a scholarship from this would really help out,’’ Foley said. “ 1would enjoy college a lot more if someone else paid for it.” A semifinalist can advance to finalist standing and com pete for Merit Scholarship awards by fulfilling additional requirements. “ I am quite honored to be selected as a Semifinalist,” Solnok said. “ It is a valuable distinction, especially on college A N A L Y Z IN G THEIR P S A T scores, seniors Joey Foley and Chris Solnok compare the results o f their tests.

Admission Adventures:

College road paved with entries, essays In August, seniors began filling out applications to various colleges and trade schools, and started to prepare for that long, nail-biting road ahead that they would follow until their acceptance letter arrived in the mail. Colleges and trade schools applied to included Texas A & M, Texas Tech, Midwestern State, Oklahoma State and trade schools in Wyoming. “ I hope that 1 attend Texas Tech,” senior Kami Hinkle said. “ My whole family went there.” Throughout the year the seniors had to make sure they kept their grades up and didn't miss too much school. It was important to do so because missing too much school resul ted in clock hour class and even losing credit. "I tried to make sure I came to school as much as possible," senior Chad Sykes said. College seemed to be the major thing on most seniors’ minds. Everything they did prepared them for the next few years of their life. For some seniors who received early admission, their destination was known early on and this made for a less stressful senior year finish.

Micheal Bowman said. Though finding volunteer work can be easier for some, others feel that volunteer work is limited. “ I’m sure more teenagers would volunteer if more opporitunities were available,” senior Amber Della Pietro said. Volunteering, either individually or with a student organ ization, can give positive results to those in need. “ Some youth from my church and 1 once volunteered to rake this older lady’s front yard, which had a big oak tree in it,” senior Larame Griffin said. Some volunteers, after volunteering, feel an inner peace from giving freely of their time and efforts. When I helped with Hotter ’N Hell, 1 felt appreciated,” Della Pietro said. “ It doesn’t feel like you give much, but you receive a lot in return.”

Close Encounters

Encounters influence destinations Close encounters abounded throughout the school year as stu den ts in tera cted with peers, forming new friend ships and performing various tasks such as school and com munity projects. Because students partici pated in activites like the NHS Headstart Party, Spanish clas ses’ Mexican Hat Dances, pep rallies and See You at the Pole, they learned the art of cooperation and sometimes found certain aliens with strange, new ideas, lurking among them. Students’ interactions with each other enabled them to branch out into new areas, ex periencing m ore frequent close encounters as they trav eled to new destinations. ■by Lauren Dixon

Skit contest won by Class of 1999 Taking their first step to reach their destination, the junior class placed first in the homecoming float competition with their “ Mighty Junior Power Dog” theme. The skit took place as Coach Blythia (Brian Windal) commanded her lions from planet Ver-Non to suck all the spirit from the Burk fans. With the help from the Power Dogs, the fans were able to restore their spirit and defeat the Lions. During the homecoming ceremonies, the juniors elected Michael Hurst and Kelly Thornton as their prince and prin cess. Halftime was a great experience that I’ll never forget,” Michael Hurst said. Strong with 271 juniors, the class will be planning the Prom and conquering the P S A T ’s, A C T ’s, and S A T ’s. With their attention focused, the juniors will try to make their destination a little more known. -by Brandi Polder

The Real W orld:

Jobs provide destinations, extra pocket money Whether it is working for that new car or simply working for a little extra cash, many juniors found themselves applying for various jobs. With the raise in minimum wage in September, even more students had the initiative to find a job. "I work at El Chico because 1 want extra money to go out with," Cara Horn said. "Plus, I need to help out on the car payments."

While some students are making piz足 zas or answering phones, others are pricing items and ringing people up. "Working at Dr. Doerre's office is a great place for me," Krissy Taylor said. "They give me really good hours so 1 still have time for extra-curricular activi足 ties."

Many juniors became eligible to get a job since they turned 16.

For the students whose job required them to be at work by 3:15, their destination after school was always known. -by Brandi Polder

Fish, in th e Sea:

Freshmen struggle to adjust to school Though at first high school seemed like a different world than junior high, the freshman class soon adjusted to life at the high school. On the first day of school, the "fish” were bombarded with worries and anx ieties. Would they get lost? What would their teachers be like? Would a senior humiliate them in the hallway? “ 1 remember being worried that my classes would be harder than at the junior high,” Jamie Organ said.“ Plus, in junior high, the teachers were more lenient and 1feared that they would be a lot tougher on all of us in high school.” Since the high school campus is more spread out and has more class

rooms than the junior high building, some students had found it difficult to locate some o f their classes. In addi tion, it was hard to locate some o f their teachers since some teach in more than one room. “ 1 couldn’t find m y algebra class,” Organ said. “ I wandered around the history wing looking for it.” Despite their first impressions, the freshman class soon adjusted to the high school and discovered that they liked it. “ High school is pretty cool,” fresh man Shelley Nottingham said.“ It is def initely better than the junior high." ■by Marla Hauins

Traveling toward a new millennium with a destination unknown in yearbook design and computer technology, the 1998* Derrick staff dove into a new era filled with hew awareness and exploration of unknown galaxies. In the past, Volume 50 was nominated for the Silver Crown Award by Columbia in 1990.
