How's It GonnaBe?

ON THE FIRST day of school, stu dents gather in front of the library. When school opens next year, this entire area

is scheduled to be a new wing o f classroom s, connecting the existing front wings. However, as the cam pus con-

struction has just begun its course, the stu d e n ts can only continue to ask: "H ow â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s l l Gonna Be?â&#x20AC;?

ITH THE NEW BULLDOG CAFE, NEW CLASSROOMS AND A gym under construction, new and unfinished parking lots, and the approaching new millenium, students started school asking the question, "How’s It Gonna Be?" So, how is it going to be? Is the new cafe food court and mandatory photo ID system going to make the closed campus successful? “At first I was opposed to an oncampus lunch,” senior Josh Andrajack said, “but everybody seemed to make it work out.” Along with the new black and or ange checkered tiles on the walls and floor, architects designed a bright or ange awning to make the outside of the cafe more school spirited and ap pealing. Others had questions about the ac ademic programs. Will the new cour ses, classrooms and new technology prepare students for the 21st centu ry? How’s it gonna be when the year ’99 changes to ’00 in the world’s com puters? Is the new gym being built on the old gym parking lot going to be worth the hassle of practicing and playing vol leyball and basketball games off cam pus? With all these questions and more on their minds, students watched as clouds of construction dust settled over various areas of the school and 2 Opening

HETHER DANCING AT VICTORY DANCES, PLANNING UPcoming events, or hanging out with friends, students made sure they had an answer when asked: “What’s Going On?” Although the new year brought many changes, it also brought new faces, trends, and activities. One change was the victory dance hosted by the cheerleaders after the first football game ‘Even though we lost the game, people still managed to have a good time at the dance,” Junior Keith Ni chols said. “ It was good to have some thing going on after the game.” Students knew what was going on during the week of homecoming. The classes built their floats and prepared for their historical skits. To kick off the varisity football team’s first district game, the stu dents played beach ball and helped support their favorite hula dancer at the luau pep rally. “ Dressing up as a female Hawaiian hula dancer was quite an experience,” senior Brian Windal said. “ 1 even went all out and bought a woman’s wig.” Hawaiian shirts weren’t just seen at the pep rally. They were seen in the halls along with cargo, carpenter and classic khaki pants. Students also adorned themselves with Doc Marten sandals and hemp necklaces to finish off their Hawaiian look. Fashion in general seemed to become a fairly important part of al most every student’s life. _ 0

HILE SENIORS MADE POST-GRADUATION PLANS, AND freshmen attempted to adapt to high school, students were faced with the unanswered question "Why Learn That?” ] With the addition of the new MAT 7 test, freshmen and sop mores were challenged to see how much knowledge was retained from year to year.

‘‘The scores we receive from the MAT 7 test give us the opportunity to see how the student body compares with the rest of the nations,” said Mr. Lee Seman, math department head.” “We now have a tool that lets us validate the achievement that our stu dents are making as they progress through high school.” Upperclassmen are also feeling pressure to pay attention in class to improve their scores on college en trance exams such as the ACT, SAT, and PSAT. “After taking the ACT, I realized that I needed to study at home with a prep-book as well as the computer p rogram ,” senior Randi W atkins said.” I also decided that I needed to pay more attention in class.” Another option for students was the addition of anatomy & physiology and humanities. Both classes were honors courses designed to help students prepare for college. 1 took AP calculus to challenge myself,” said senior Kristi Fulkerson. 26 Academic Division

“ If I pass the AP test, I will not have to take a m ath course iif college.” As students become more aware of the future, they continue to search for some answ ers to the question-. “ W hy

New Courses

Freshmen required to take typing, careers With every school year come new students as well as new classes. The class of 2002 faced two new half cred it requirements: typing and career con nections. Typing has been offered for a num ber of years, but for the first time the course became an official requirement for freshmen. One of the primary con siderations in making the class a re quirement was the amount of time students spend using computers in their work for other classes. Mrs. Jean McNabb said that stu dents who have taken typing, “will be able to make more use of time in the writing lab and in other computer classes.” Students can begin to reap the ben efits almost immediately. “The class has given me the skills needed to be able to quickly and accu rately type important words and sen

Fine Arts Bond issue changes band, choir, drama Some of the first organizations to reap the benefits of the bond issue passed last year have been those deal ing with the fine arts. Music, drama, and choir have seen early impro vements in facilities and equipment. Both the band and the choir re ceived new pianos. The choir’s baby grand came as a replacement, while the band’s upright will be the first piano the group has owned. The band’s piano will be especially useful for the spring solo and ensemble contests when performers need time to practice with accompanists, according to band director Jerry Floyd. In earlier years, limited access forced the choir and band to share a single upright. In addition, facilities for choir, dra ma, and band have been drastically improved. The band hall received some subtle, but necessary touch-ups, in

cluding the installation of sound-proof doors for practice room s, th e re painting and re-felting of instrument sh elv es, and th e band h a ll’s re carpeting. Choir and drama departm ents, on the other hand, moved to entirely new

“The new facility allows each section of the choir to have individual rehear sals,” — Florence Harris facilities. The new choir room is more spacious and offers an opportunity for better rehearsals. “The new facility allows all of the sections to have their own individual rehearsals,’’said alto section leader

Florence Harris. Drama, prior to this year, had perform on the cafetorium stage. \\ the destruction of the old stage ca the construction of the black b which provides a place for students practice and perform. “ We all got tired of performing the cafeteria, and now that we’re nally seniors, we get a decent plaa work,” said senior Andre Russell. With new facilities have come i programs. The Bulldog Band will f ture a jazz band. ' “ The band will offer select stude a chance to learn to play a style music not used in marching or cone band,” said Floyd. With new facilities, important s d e s a re being m ade to make i campus arts programs available to students. —Carly Kocurek

The class also counts as college credit if the student passes the AP exam. “Taking Spanish IV will improve my vocabulary since we only speak in Spanish,” said senior Leilani Ramos. “Also, it counts as college credit if I take the option of the AP exam." Spanish IV also takes students to Mexico. “The class gives students the ehance to study Spanish in a foreign coun try, Mexico,” said Spanish teacher Mrs. Camille Moody.

“In regular classes, most stu d en ts probably have never had to study. In AP classes, they will.’’ — Mrs. Pam Francis that, “ all students benefit from the actual classes,” but thought the AP te s ts w ere only advantageous for some students, citing the fact that, “ jumping into a sophomore or junior level class can hurt even a dedicated

The thought of com pleting basic college requirements en ticed some, while others felt an AP class to be the next logical step in their schedule. “ I enjoyed Biology I, and I needed a science credit, so AP Biology II was the m ost appealing course,” said jun ior Sara Fullagar.

More Exams Tests prepare students for college To prepare for their academic fu ture, students not only studied for their high school classes, but also for the SAT, ACT, and TASP tests. Stu dents had the choice of either studying from test prep books or CD rom preps. Even classes were offered to help raise ACT or SAT scores. Because most colleges require SAT scores for admission, this was a popu lar test among juniors and seniors. According to counselors, test takers could register online, through the mail, over the telephone, or through the counselors. Many students took the PSATs to help them prepare for the real SAT test. "I’m really glad that I took the PSAT because now I won’t be surprised by the material on the real te s t,” said junior Keri Coursaut. Senior John Hoglund was named

te s t scored on either te s t for admis sion. Because of this students took thi te s t seriously, preparing a number o ways ranging from com puter pro grams, preparation courses, and sem inars. The other major college entry tes taken in high school was the TASP (Texas Academic Skills Program). The te s t provides Texas public col leges and universities informatioi about reading, writing, and mathe matic skills of students. Exemptions from the TASP are pos sible.

Full of pride, heart, and plenty of practice, all teams worked td ensure a positive answer when asked, "What’s the Score?”

Even with the new district align Gerstner said, “but this year, we have ment, the varsity football team went set higher standards and plan to ad into the season with positive attitudes vance even farther.” Whatever the score, Bulldog ath and brought “The Next Level’’ into action when they defeated the Castle berry Lions on homecoming. Although constrution was cumber some at the year’s start, the basket ball and volleyball teams managed to focus on the season with winning atti tudes. "I’m hoping the new gym will be completed before the end of my senior year,” senior basketball player Chris Slye said. “ 1 want to be able to play the last game in the old gym and the first game in the new one.” Searching for promising answers, the golf, tennis, and track team s hoped to do well in their tournaments and meets. As for the baseball team, the Dogs focused on capturing another bi district title and making a return trip to the area play-offs.

“ I feel very confident in the team ’s ability to produce suc cessfully,” said James. The Dogs ended the pre season with a 4-6 record. With big rival Rider added to the district 7-4A, the Dogs had a challenging season. The school board passed the request for an all-girls soccer team since Burkburnett was the only school in the district without a girls’ team. “ 1 am very anxious and ex cited to participate on the girls’ team next year,” said JV member Chasiti Tackel.

Sports Review

Swimmers, powerlifing, runners go to regionals W hether running, swim ming, or lifting weights, one thing these teams shared was success. Powerlifting, in its second year, grew from 13 members the first year to 35. ‘‘We p re p a re d for our meets all during football sea son by lifting,’’ junior Sammy Lax said, “ but we really em phasize it during the off sea son."

The girls’ and boys’ track teams began their prepara tion with after-school prac tice. “ Getting prepared is what it’s all about,” sophom ore Tanya Pickett said. “After a year off, you have to get eveiyone back in shape.” Because the swim team only consists of two students, junior Chris Atkins and fresh man Lacey Thomas, it is often overlooked. “ Swim ming on a te a m gives me something to do, and it keeps me in shape,” Atkins said. However, even in the over shadowing of other sp o rtsv both qualified for regionals.

The recipients of this award were selected based on criteria including a 3.0 or higher GPA in th at certain sub ject, enthusiasm for that subject, good citizenship, and the ability to get along well with other students. All of these students have varying future plans. From attending colleges such as Texas A&M and Midwestern S tate Uni versity to majoring in aerospace en gineering to early childhood, th ese seniors are well and able of adhereing to their goals to achieve their p reset

destination. “The Who’s Who award is not only prestigious award, but an earned hoi or,” Gillespie said. “ These studen have worked diligently the past foi years and have shown by past pe formance th at they will not only I successful, but productive citizens.” With the knowledge illustrated these seniors, these individuals ai not only talented, but they are also tl lead ers of th e coming millenniur

As their last year in high school drew to a close, seniors found them selves faced with the decision of what college to attend. “ I want to go to UNT,” senior Cindy Massey said, “ because it seem s like a good school and Denton is fairly close.” . College was the main thing on most seniors’ minds. Seniors had to make sure the college they chose was the best school for them. Seniors also had to take their ACTs and SATs and make sure their te st score was high enough. “ 1 took my ACTs the summer before my senior year.” senior Randi Watkins said. "It helped me prepare for college.” College also meant that seniors had to keep their GPA up and attend school regularly in order to avoid clock hours. With seniors entering a new era in their life the main question on their mind was how’s it gonna be?

p art-time jobs keep seniors busy Extracurricular activities kept many seniors occupied during their final year in high school. Activities ranged from working part time to supporting and playing on assorted sport’s teams. Jobs seemed to be the chosen activity of many students. “Working at Hamm’s Show Supply keeps my time away from school occupied,” Stacy Knight said. Fast food restaurants were a popular place for seniors to be employed. “Working at Subway and lifting weights takes my time away from school,” Jeremy Dulaney said. Others were occupied by practices and games for sport’s teams. In their last year of school, seniors found them selves faced with tests such as the ACT and SAT to prepare for college. Seniors found many activities and responsibilities outside of school, while still striving to make their senior year the most memorable yet. —Lynlee Landrum

Juniors tackle responsibilities History repeats itself for the class of 2000 as they placed fourth in the homecoming float contest. The juniors selected the historical event,the Trojan War, and included the giant gift of a lion equipped with hidden football players to overtake the Castleberry stadium. “ It was disappointing to place fourth since we put so much time and effort into building our float,” Robin Price said. That evening, Justin Hill and Ashley Cox represented their class as junior prince and princess a t haiftime. Hosting the prom was one of the responsibilities of the junior class along with ordering that long awaited class ring if desired. These students also looked toward the future and prepared for college by taking the ACT, SAT, and TASP tests. Many students have been faced with a barrage of college and career information through the mail and through pro grams such as Dream Week and college night.

GATHERING HER PORTFOLIO, junior Devon Helenschmidt displays her multi-structured talent in the different areas of art. — Phoio by Carly \Kocurek

Junior Devon Helenschmidt’s true passion is creating and working with art of all mediums. “ I love drawing, especially people,” Helenschmidt said, “and doing interesting art, such as pencil, pastel, and painting portraits.” Helenschmidt hopes to become an art or computer graphics major at the Academy of Art in San Fransisco, or at UNT in Denton. Already, her work has been in the Varsity Shop in Sikes Senter, and in MSU’s Art Show. She also designed the team T-shirts for the track, volleyball, and basketball teams. When she is not drawing, she studies for her three honors classes, works at United Supermarket, or attends STUCO meetings and drill team practices. Despite all of this, she still carries a 3.85 GPA and squeezes in some social time. “ You only have so much time, so why not take advantage of it?,” Helenschmidt said. — Sheila White

Saphomore class earns second place Placing second with their homecoming float the soph omore class saw their year begin with success. “We worked hard,” president Shelley Nottingham said. “ I think we earned second place.” The sophomore skit was based on the first Olympics. They put four events in each corner. “We did different events to get more people in volved,” secretary/treasurer Maryl Robertson said. “ It worked out really well.” During the homecoming ceremonies, the sophomore class elected Tyrone Peoples and Arikka Fears as their prince and princess. “This was my second year as prince,” Peoples said,“ but it was as exciting this year as last.” The sophomore class faced many challenges such as the exit 1AAS test and the PSAT. These challenges were taken head on as the sophomore class found themselves wondering “ How’s it Gonna Be.”

“ Down, set, hut...hut,” are the words Ryan Matthews would say Friday nights to start a play during most football games. Matthews achieved his goal in becoming the starting varsity quarterback. “There is a lot of pressure being varsity quarterback, especially as a sophomore,” Matthews said. “The main thing 1 try to remember is not expect too much from myself because I know I’ll improve throughout the next two years.” In the future, Matthews plans to attend college. “ If I had the chance to go anywhere,” Matthews said. “ I would like to go to a college that stresses the passing game, like Florida.” After college, Matthews would also like to be a sports doctor or a personal trainer and a gym owner. “ I always keep my head up. and never settle for second, ” Matthews said. “The other teams better watch out within the next two years.

Sophomore curlews vary with parents, activities Sophomores found that with increased age came an extended curfew. “Whether I was going to the movies or just hanging out with friends determined my curfew,” Lori Kemp said. Students’ curfews were extended 30 minutes to an hour past their previous curfews as freshmen. “ My curfew was 11 or 11:30 my freshman year,” Melissa Chamberlain said, “but for some reason my mom decided to push it to midnight this year.” Katie Shelton was one of the luckier ones with her curfew going from 12 to 1. With the freedom of a driver’s license came the desire to stay out even later. I wanted to come home at 1 a.m. because that was city curfew,” Jesse Sparkman said, “ but they wouldn’t go for it.” Curfews have been around since teenagers have gone out, and they are going nowhere fast. —Laura Schulz,

<Unique:

The sophomore class holds tne record of being the argest class and the only one with five se ts of twins. The Adams brothers, Jared and Justin, look like broth ers but not like twins. While Jared appears the oldest ecause of his height, Justin was actually born 13 lutes before Jared. ‘I used to think that Jared was older since he is so uch taller than Justin,” Jessica Griner said. Although it’s hard to have a twin brother, Jared and ustin are still good friends. “ 1 like Justin because whenever 1 ask him to do nything, he does it,” Jared said, As for Brandon and >rad Eddington, their story is similar to Jared and ustin’s. “Although Brandon is older, we are good riends and he doesn’t think he is better than m e,” Brad |[said. | The thing Brad likes most about his brother is that Ithey’re twins, but he hates having to look after him. “ 1 like Brad because he is my little brother,’’Brandon

Five sets ol twins add to class ef 2001 said. “ If he ever needed me, 1 would be here for him.” The third se t of twins is Colby and Coldy Wiggins. They have been involved in football for two years and in their spare time, they enjoy baseball. Not only are there three sets of sophomore twin boys, but there are also two sets of twin girls. Anytime there is a gym available, Marrisa and Vanessa Weaver practice their lay-ups and jump shots. “Although I’m older than Vanessa by five minutes, she still has a great personality,” Marrissa said. The fifth se t of twins is Leslie and Darcus Pena. Like the Weavers, the Pefias enjoy playing sports. “ I really enjoy being with my sister,” Darcas said. We get along pretty well and sh e’s a great friend. With Leslie being the oldest by one minute, she still asks for advice from her little sister. Walking down the hall or watching sports, these live sets of twins add to the uniqueness of the sophomore class.

Although items such as these are what all high school students want, upper classsmen strive for bigger purchases such as cars and cell phones. Money spent on music include a variety of listening styles, from rap to country. The majority of money goes for brand name clothing such as Hilflger, Adidas and Nike. Some freshmen chose to save up their money. “1 save up for emergencies,” De’ Anna Hayden said. Freshmen save up their money for a number of rea sons including college or a car. However, other fresh men like to spend money as soon as they receive it. If I have it, 1 spend it,” Ben W eaver said.

Juggling clubs, sports, and academics, Ben Weaver tries to live by his motto: “Strive to be the best you can.” Besides being involved in STUCO, FCA, TAME, and track, and serving as freshman class president, Weaver leads the freshman football team as one of four cap tains. “ Football is definitely my favorite sport,” Weaver said. “ 1 love the intensity of the gam e.” During lulls of activity, Weaver can usually be found drawing, reading, working out, or listening to music. “ 1 do these things when I have free tim e,” Weaver said. “ It lets me get away from it all.” Weaver names his brother Barry, who is a sophomore at the Air Force Academy, as his biggest influence. “We always try to exceed each other,” Weaver said. After high school, Weaver intends to follow in his brother’s and father’s footsteps by attending the Air Force Academy. —Marla Havins

Reed Drill Team, Drama, FCA As well as being a member of the Boomtown Babes, freshman Katie Reed hopes to be a well known actress. “ I want to be an actress,” Reed said. “The theatre is my passion; when I’m on stage I feel like I could do just about anything.” Reed wants to go for it all. She wants a Tony, an Oscar, and an Emmy. Reed is the volleyball manager, a member of STUCO, FCA, and Drama Club. Being so active has helped Reed adjust to high school. “ It’s hard to do it all, but it’s worth it when you reach a goal you set for each activity,” Reed said. She likes Backdoor because the rewards are endless. “ People come up to you in the store and say ‘Hey aren’t you that girl from that play I saw,” Reed said. “ It’s awesome.” According to Reed, high school is difficult because she must rely on herself often. I believe you can find inspiration in everyone you meet, she said. Everyone is different and has a unique quality to admire.” —Stephanie Gonzalez

Though he does not have definite plans after high school, he knows that he wants to someday be a baseball player. “ I think it would be cool to make it to the big leagues,” Patty said. Although he may have a hectic schedule, Patty still finds time to squeeze in a little television. His favoiite show is the popular “ Simpsons.” His thoughts on the transistion from junior high to high school are like many other freshmen. “ It’s really cool.” Patty said. “ It’s more fun than junior high.” —Stephanie Gonzalez

Freshmen share feelings on closed campus lunches Dodging left and right, students find their ways to each food court in the cafeteria. The Bulldog cafe is the result of the new closed campus policy. Many freshman students shared their varied opinions about the closed campus. “ I don’t like it at all,” Ashley Benson said. “ 1 think it would be neat to leave for lunch everyday.” The Bulldog cafe is widely liked. Kaycie Tugman likes it because of the wide selection of food. “ 1 like closed campus because it helps the school stay organized,” Tugman said. Others had mixed emotions. ” 1 think it’s unfair in a way but all right,” Holly Townsned said. “ The Bulldog cafe is really nice.” Upperclassmen had previous years of open-campus to compare to, but freshmen had only the junior high to consider when forming an opinion. Overall, freshmen re ported liking the fact that the food court is more convenient than the junior high cafeteria. —Stephanie Gonzalez

Teacher ol the Year

Miller teaches home economics After teaching child developm ent, preparation for parenting, housing, interior design, individual & family life, and apparel for 10 years, Mrs. Jeannine Miller earned the title of the 1998 High School Teacher of the Year. The ability to balance out quality time for a family made her pursue the career of teaching. “Prioritizing my time with a wide range of student needs is the challenge of teaching,” Mrs. Miller said. Mrs. Miller believes that adolescents should have some one who can be there for them not only physically and mentally, but also emotionally and spiritually. After losing both her friend and colleague Mrs. Sue Warren to cancer and home ec student Jenny Hill in an automobile accident in the summer of 1997, Mrs. Miller found the ‘97-‘98 school year to be a difficult one. “The losses that our community and school faced were almost unbearable,” Mrs. Miller said. “Yet out of the darkest, most difficult days, our faith and hope are sus tained through the love and support of God and friends.” She believes in the prayer: “ God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the differ ence .”—Daniel Chavez

Construction brings t a lly challenge

BETWEEN CLASS MEETINGS, new vice principal Dudley Roberts and vice principal Janie Avey prepare for the next m eeting about school rules and attendance policies.

The staff, as the student body, faced challenges and duties with the construction. Some teachers were without their classrooms and others had new lunch, parking lot, and hall duties which created for them the question: “How’s It Gonna Be?" Mr. Dudley Roberts, from Wichita Falls High School, became the vice principal taking the place of Mr. Randy Owen-now a principal in Amarillo. ‘T m happy to be here in Burkburnett,” Mr. Roberts said. “ My conversion from Coyote to Bulldog is just fine.” The school welcomed 15 new teachers: Mr. Bob Barrow, Mrs. Patricia Dodd, Mrs. Linda Ellet, Mrs. Nancy Flannagan, Mrs. Nancy Frazier, Mrs. Tania Fricke, Mrs. Sharon Gresham, and Mr. Steve Holden. Other new teachers include: Mrs. Laurie Hollingsworth. Mrs. Kari Ickes, Mrs. Bobbie Jones, Mrs. Anita Kenny, Mrs. Susie Su, Mr. Harrison W atts, and Mr. Mark Wilson. — D a n ie l C ilB V C Z

AFTER WINNING THE homecoming float competition, the seniors ques tion : without us, “ How’s It Gonna R e?”

Index 213

INCE THE BOND ISSUE PASSED, STUDENTS HAVE FOUND themselves adjusting to changes such as a closed campus lunch at the Bulldog Cafe and new parking lots equipped with security lights. Although a few answers became clear throug thick clouds of construction dust, other questions remained.

At the start of the school year, stu dents pondered whether the new pho to ID system and closed campus lunch would be successful. As time went by, students became accustomed to the changes and soon the system was a successful part of the every day rou tine. Toward the end of the season, bas ketball players questioned, “Will this be our last game in the ‘pit’?” Con struction on the new gym, which was expected to be finished by mid-June, was halted when oil residue was dis covered in the soil. After many months of testing, if environmental engineers conclude that the site of the gym will be safe to build on, it is expected to be completed by October. "Our present gym has been a fan tastic place to play basketball, and our student body has made it one of the best gyms in the state of Texas,” Coach Danny Nix said. “We’re sad to not be playing any more games in it, but at the same time, we look forward to the new gym becoming the ‘new pit’.” While the basketball team played their final games in the old gym, the nation questioned when professional basketball would begin. The NBA be gan its season five months later an

usual due to the players’ strike. Who would win the race for new homerun king, Mark McGwire or Sam my Sosa? America’s favorite pastime, baseball, was brought to a new level in th e su m m e r of ‘9 8 w h e n M ark McGwire beat-Roger Maris’s existing record with 70 homeruns in a single season. Other men making headlines were special prosecutor Kenneth Starr and President Bill Clinton who were named TIME magazine’s “ Men of the Year.” “ How will the government be run in the new millennium?” the nation won dered as the impeachment trial of President Clinton occurred in Wash ington D.C. over perjury and obstruc tion of justice disputes. While many people thought that the scandals in the White House resem bled" Wag the Dog,” other top movies included “Armageddon,” “ Saving Pri vate Ryan, and “There’s Something About M ary.” Hit songs such as “Torn” by Natalie Imbruglia, “ Iris” by the Goo Goo Dolls and "How’s It Gon na Be” by Third Eye Blind were also chart toppers.
