The decade o f fast cars, flappers, and fast money was fresh. Burkburnett was the city o f "flowing gold,” the big­ gest oil town in the area. Almost every structure in town was in the shadow o f at least one o f the hundreds o f der­ ricks that spiked the sky line.

It was the school year o f 1921-22, and the BHS seniors o f ’22 "got together and decided to have an an­ nual.” After unanimously selecting "The Derrick” as the title, the annual staff, elected by the student body, tackled the problem o f financing.

They decided to conduct a series o f beauty and popularity contests.

Each class selected a candidate for "M ost Popular Boy,” "M ost Popular Girl,” "M ost Handsome Boy,” and "School Beauty.” Each class pro­ moted its candidate and campaigned for the 1C votes. The campaigns for the four honors were conducted separately. By the time o f the "School Beauty” contest, the seniors’ candidates had lost each o f the preceding contests.

Fearing they would be outdone by underclassmen, the seniors borrowed seventy-five dollars from the First National Bank o f Burkburnett, and twenty-five dollars from private in­ dividuals to assure a win. Success at last; their nominee won by twice the amount o f votes o f her nearest rival.

The amount cleared from the contest totaled four hundred and eighty-five dollars. With a staff, a budget, and the student body, the 1922 Derrick began to take form.

Although it is now sixty years later, there are many activities, feelings, and situations that are similar to those o f 1921-1922. As is done now, the juniors hosted an activity for the seniors; however, back then it was a banquet instead o f a prom. It was the seniors’ third year to be in a new building. In their sophomore year (1919) they moved into the new building (the present junior high). In 1979, when our seniors were sophomores, the new vocational building was completed and occupied.

In 1921-1922 boys’ sports included football, baseball, basketball, ten­ nis, and track. The track team sent a representative to the state finals.

The football team played Iowa Park three times, defeating "the plucky little Iowa Park machine” in all three games.

Girls’ sports o f 21-22 were basketball (Bata Bata Club) with a motto o f "The height o f our ambition is to hit the goal,” and tennis, in their uniforms o f middy blouses and white pleated skirts, the girls’ doubles team took third place in district.

In spite o f the old-fashioned equipment and uniforms, the teams’ spirit and enthusiasm matched that o f today.

Fashions then consisted principally o f sweaters, middy blouses, skirts, and dresses for girls — knickers, long socks and tarns, long pants, sweaters and shirts for the boys. The girls also had knickers for casual wear.

Although the years change, some things seem to remain the same. Seniors always anticipate graduation, feel superior to underclassmen, and are certain their senior class is the best ever. Juniors look forward to becoming seniors.

Sophomores are glad they are no longer freshmen. Freshmen paradoxically relish being "fish” while counting the remaining days o f their year.

Students remain involved in schedules, activities, sports, attendances, behavior, and, in general, growing through the once-in-a-lifetime experience of high school.

Times change — people don’t.

Activities

As summer began winding to a close, registration marked the begin­ ning o f a new school year. Each grade registered separately beginning with the seniors. Many seniors were pleased with their schedules because they had fewer classes and would get to leave school earlier each day. After the seniors had registered, they were followed by the freshmen.

After the trauma o f trying to get the classes we wanted when we wanted and with whom we wanted them, we went to the library to be issued textbooks. Freshmen, with their large stacks o f books, were easi­ ly identifiable from the seniors who had only a few books. After we had gotten our books, we had to get a locker; but this year if you wanted a locker, you had to pay for a lock.

After all this was taken care of, there was nothing else to do but await the arrival o f the first day o f school, August 27.

Getting back in the grind

The beginning o f the first day of school brought about the close of summer vacation. Before classes started was the time to go and talk to all the people you hadn’t seen over the summer. It was amazing some o f the changes brought by summer.

Some people had lost weight, some grew taller, and many had different hair styles. Even though the first day o f school meant nine months o f homework, studying, and tests, it also meant the start o f many new friendships and experiences.

Homecoming was very early this year; of all the pre-season games we only had one home game. This was on September 17. Since it was so early, we could not have floats as had always been the tradi­ tion at BHS. The classes voted at the end of last year to go ahead and pick a theme, and the classes could decorate cars instead of building floats. The theme chosen was "Just Gettin’ There.”

Each class chose an idea to follow the theme, and they had to decide the best way to carry out their ideas. The seniors decided to make a large scale replica of the all-popular Nike tennis shoe.

Although much thought and hard work went into the building of the Nike, the seniors went down with dignity, placing fourth in class competition.

The juniors chose to do a boat and water skier. Class princess, Lisa Green, rode inside. The juniors placed third.

The sophomore class won second place with their rollerskate entry. This bright red, white, and blue float carried their class princess, Margaret French.

The freshman class chose to build a chair styled like one Cleopatra might have used; it was carried by members of the freshman class. Class princess, Bon­ nie Hibbard, was carried in the float.

Frosh really gave it their all and won the class competition, taking first place.

"Just gettin’ there" chosen Not only were classes allowed en­ tries, but clubs could also enter com ­ petition. The judges chose as the overall club winner the O.E.A. club.

The members o f O.E.A. were dressed in cowboy attire and rode stick horses. Second place was given to the National Honor Society, who made as their entry a graduation cap, which was a slightly different ap­ proach to the theme.

T h e day ended w ith the Homecoming game that evening against the Duncan Demons. They beat us with a score o f 16 to 3. After the game, the last o f the Homecom­ ing activities began, which was the homecoming dance at the youth center. Homecoming has for many years been an exciting tradition, and this year proved to be no exception.

Pep rallies highlight fall Fridays IdSIS Pep rallies are the only place you

can go and participate in controlled mass hysteria. Students roar cheers from the stands, the band plays the "H orse” until the walls vibrate, and enthusiasm reigns.

With cheers like, "Bulldogs Are Ready,” "Dow n by the River,” and "B u ild That Spirit U p !” the cheerleaders warmed up the crowd.

The band then brings in the team with the fight song. They also play "W aco ” and the "H orse” to generate excitement throughout. Next is the pep talk , perhaps the m ost memorable was Chip Hawkins’ Rock and Roll speech putting everyone in the gym on their feet with, "W e’ll 'Hit Them With Our Best Shot’ and then we’ll see 'W ho’s Cryin’ Now’!”

After building spirit, the next step was showing it. This took total par­ ticipation. The mascot, Tammy Reed, presented several skits involv­ ing opponents’ mascots. There were class victory yells, the "G ood Luck” cheer, twirler features, spirit signs around the gym, the Alma Mater, and a lot o f individual effort. We tried anything and everything to put a feeling o f pride, spirit, and the will to win into the 42 guys who represented our school as our varsity football team. Last, we sent them o ff as the band again played the fight song.

Why did we go to pep rallies? — Because we loved the Bulldogs!

Holidays vary routine Holidays were always welcomed at school because they brought a change o f pace.

The first was in October, Hallo­ ween. It was celebrated by a Hallo­ ween pep rally. The Bulldog mascot wore a ghost costume. Mr. Moore performed the annual changing o f the colors chemistry experiment with success..

In November, Xhanksgiving was recognized. The Student Council sponsored the Mr. and Miss Turkey Limbs contest which replaced the Mr. Turkey Legs competition o f previous years. The winners were the junior class, representatives, Todd Cadwallader and Teresa Fullerton.

Christmas sported many activities and plenty o f cheer. In the annual door decorating contest, winners received double lunches. The NHS sold and delivered a record number o f 4000 candy canes this year. Senior Hall was decorated in Christmas spirit by the Student Council, which also sold send-a-carols.

In February, Valentine’s Day was observed. The Student Council sold carnations with red, pink, or white ribbons, fuzzies, suckers, and love-a-grams.

How did students at BH S fill their time until the 8:35 bell sent them to their first-hour class? A variety o f ac­ tivities occupied them in this before­ school time.

One necessary stop each morning was at lockers to get books for first hour. After that, students were free to roam the halls to visit with friends, make up tests, seek extra help on an assignment, attend club meetings, or go on to class to hastily finish homework.

During football season this time on Fridays was enhanced with band music, recorded and live.

Regardless o f how a student spent this time, the 8:35 bell usually seemed to ring a bit too early.

Survey spotlights seniors In January, Derrick staff members conducted a "Senior Survey” to determine and compile ideas and experiences on happenings at BH S. The topics covered in the survey were music, weekend activities, special moments, feelings about graduation, and future plans.

T o the question "W hat is your favorite type o f music?” responses were almost equally divided between country and western and rock and roll. The most popular country songs were "M y Favorite Memory,” "Feels So Right,” and "I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.” The most popular groups and singers were Alabama, Merle Haggard, Ronnie Milsap, and the Oak Ridge Boys. The most popular rock and roll hits were "Angel in a Centerfold,” "The Stroke,” and "W orking for the Weekend.” The most popular rock groups were Jay Giles Band, AC/DC, Foreigner, and Journey.

In response to the questions concerning weekend activities, movies were very popular. Some o f the favorite movies that were named were "Raiders o f the Lost Ark,” "Heavy M etal,” "Cannonball Run,” "Stripes,” and "Urban Cowboy.”

M ost o f the seniors said they enjoy going out to eat. Some o f the favorite places named were Red Lobster, Pizza Planet, Hardees, and El Chico’s. On the weekends everyone likes to go out. The favorite places that the seniors liked to go were Sikes Senter, New M exico, rodeos, school dances, and Gilbert Creek.

Kemp Boulevard was, by far, the most popular place.

Seniors High school is an important part of everyone’s life. It is a time of learning and of new ex­ periences, a time of magic moments. Several seniors reflected in the survey moments which they will always remember and feelings about what is to come.

The funniest moments were probably the most plentiful. Todd Coulter’s funniest moment was a very general "all four years.” On the other hand, Susan Brumfield said hers was "doing an about face and almost falling down in front of the home crowd,” and Greg DeFore’s was "wat­ ching the freshmen eat the cafeteria food.” Another type of moment that there seemed to have been an abundance, if not a surplus of, was the type resulting in embarrassment. Some seniors’ "most embarrassing” moments were "breaking a bench in Senior Hall” (Tracie Morton), "lock­ ing my keys in my car” (Alynn Healton), "being late to Mr. Hays class the first day” (Melanie Arthur), and "driving the NHS car in the parade” (Larry Wright).

Finally, the survey asked what the saddest moment experienced in high school was. All the seniors in band agreed that getting a second division at marching contest was their worst.

Thomas O ’Kelley, Richard O ’Malley, and Chuck King said that their saddest moment was "los­ ing the last football game.” Donna Rutledge believes, "The saddest moment will be when I have to leave BHS.” While, Kendall Smith’s was "eating the cafeteria’s meatloaf with creole gravy.”

Graduation, among seniors, was a word that aroused many mixed feelings and questions about what the future holds. The following were feelings about graduating. Patti Klein said, "I’m kind of anxious to get out, but I know that I’m going to miss a lot of the great times.”

"Glad, but kind of sad about not seeing many of my friends again,” were Brenda Shoffner’s feelings. Amy Hall’s response of "Excitement! Relief!” was brief, but got the point across. Tony Smith said, "I’m afraid to go out in the wond by myself.” What would the members of the Class of ’82 miss after graduating? Mike Taylor said he would miss "being with all my friends five days a week.” Shawn Cook said, "I’ll miss the carefree atmosphere and the easy-going generally fun times shared with my friends.” On the other hand, Priscilla Phillips said, "I’ll miss lockers that won’t open, the smell of sulfur in the science wing, crowded halls, and ancient band music played on Friday mornings during football season.”

Last were questions concerning future plans. Many seniors expressed plans to attend college.

Others planned to go to work. Most included plans to marry and have families of their own.

This survey showed a few of the favorite things, special moments, and feelings experienced by the senior class of 1982 during their years at Burkburnett High School. Thanks to all who answered the survey.

One activity that almost everyone enjoys is dancing, and the Friday night school dances are an everpopular attraction. There are dances held for special occasions, and this year was no exception. There was a Christmas dance with lots o f mistletoe around the dance floor, and also a Valentine’s Day dance.

A variety o f music is played at the dances. This year New Wave or Punk R ock was a hit in the music world outdating the "D isco” sound. Along with New Wave came a dance called the Pogo which seemed to be a big hit. An old favorite that was really big this year was country music. The two-step, Cotton-eyed Jo e , and Sweetheart Schottish were favorites with those who liked the country sound. For some it was hard to learn how to two-step and Cotton-eyed Jo e , but most enjoyed the time spent learning. Soul music was still a very popular type o f music that most peo­ ple enjoyed.

The Friday dances were sponsored by clubs and organizations to raise money for their particular projects.

The Jr. class held many dances to pay for this year’s Prom.

The dances were a time in which friends could gather and have fun, new friendships or relationships got started, but also a place in which many relationships ended. Overall we enjoyed these times and will look back on them with fond memories.

Working for the weekenc) One thing people use plenty of is money, and a sure way of always having money is to work.

Many students at BHS hold part-time jobs either in Burkburnett, at Sheppard A.F.B., or in Wichita Falls. They work for many different reasons, such as the need of money for lunch, gas, car payments, and entertainment, and class credit in school.

There are many different places where teens work as well as various types of work performed. Some do office work in local banks, insurance agencies, and other places of business. Others work in food service at places like Sonic, Ken’s Pizza, Hardee’s, Dairy Queen, and the Base Dining Halls.

Most teens holding part-time jobs work after school and on weekends. A few work before or during school. At BHS several organizations such as O.E.A., H.E.C.E., D.E., and V.I.C.A., aid students in getting jobs.

Students in these organizations work and receive credit in school for their perfor­ mance in class and at work.

Jobs play a major role in our lives but right now they provide us with extra money, experience, and a lot of insight on the job world.

Cars — More than a way to get then The most popular means of transpor­ tation is the car. Cars play an important role in the lives of BHS students.

For many students, a car is a necessity to travel to and from school and work.

On the weekends, they are used to cruise around in Burk or Wichita Falls or to go out on dates.

At BHS there are several varieties of colors, types, and models of cars. They range from pick-up trucks to standard sized automobiles to compact sport cars.

Although having a car can be fun, it is also a big responsibility, as those students who own and finance their own automobiles have found out. Pay­ ing for the car itself is not the end of the expense. With inflation at such a high rate, unleaded gasoline averages about $1.25 a gallon. Insurance, parts, ac­ cessories, and general maintenance of the vehicles also contribute to the already large amount of responsibility and financing.

Lunch — more than a meal Somewhere between 12:00 and 1:30 all students got 30 minutes for lunch. It was a welcome break from continuous and often tiring classes.

T o most students this was welcomed regardless o f how short it was. For those going o ff campus, it meant rushing to one o f the local restaurants like K en ’s and the Sweet Shop or fast food places such as Hardee’s, Dairy Queen, and Sonic, waiting forever to get their food, and then rushing right back to school so they wouldn’t be late. The other students who ate in the lunch line or snack bar or carried their lunch also never seemed to have enough time to really get a break from the pace o f the day. Regardless o f the time allot­ ted, it was a good time to visit with friends, catch up on gossip, and possibly find out what to expect in the afternoon.

Equations + graphs = confusion

i.

From learning the basics o f algebra to the complex problems o f trigonom etry and independent studies, every student had some taste o f the challenging classes o f mathematics. Many mornings you could see a teacher helping some confused student understand the previous day’s assignment or even students discussing, often arguing about proofs, algebraic equations, or the computation o f sines and cosines.

Although many students wondered when they would ever use what they learned during their high school math, they learned one very important lesson — how to think things out on their own.

To many students science is the most challenging class they may take. All freshmen are required to take physical science. They are often seen measuring sidewalks or working with pulleys and levers to help them learn some science equations and principles. Sophomores take biology and learn such things as basic structures o f molecules, plant science, and techniques o f dissecting worms, fish, and grasshoppers. (The lucky students were the ones who ar­ ranged this class as far from lunch as possible.) In chemistry and physics juniors and seniors advanced their scientific knowledge.

At extra activity available to students in the science department was the science fair held March 8-13 at Midwestern State University. The students could prepare a project to fur­ ther their education on a particular sub­ ject and then enter it in the fair with hopes o f receiving some recognition for their hard work.

History students gain insight T o provide insight extending from Ivan the Terrible to understanding the role o f the U.S. Government is the goal o f the history department.

Each student was required to take three years o f social studies, in­ cluding world history, American history, and civics. The students not only studied events from the past, learning some landmarks made in history and major mistakes made in the world’s governments, but they also kept up with the history being made every day. The advanced place­ ment civics classes took time out to attend a county commissioner’s court in O ctober and even to voice their opinions on the T V news. They also spent some time at City Hall writing the history o f Burkburnett’s city government. They held a can­ didate forum on March 29 for city council and school board candidates, and they campaigned in April for the upcoming primary elections.

As the students got involved in governm ental happenings and learned about past historical events, they gained a basic understanding about current U.S. and foreign affairs.

English stresses communication

Language is the basis o f civiliza­ tion. Without being able to express feelings and thoughts properly, a per­ son would have a hard time com ­ municating with others. Although three years o f English were required, students had the option o f taking a fourth year o f literature and grammar.

Some o f the selections studied by the freshmen were Romeo and Juliet, Call o f the Wild, and Great Expecta­ tions; sophomores studied Silas Marner, Animal Farm, and Shane;

juniors studied The Red Badge o f Courage, and O f Mice and Men. Each junior was also required to write a research paper which took a great deal o f time and often caused intense frustration. Senior English students read such works as the Iliad, the Odyssey, and MacBeth.

Advanced senior classes wrote many compositions while learning about meaning links, clusters, clusters within clusters, and other logical rela­ tionships. By the time a student graduates, he has had ample oppor­ tunity to learn to communicate correctly.

Language adds culture German, French, and Spanish classes were offered this year for students who wanted to be able to communicate, or at least partially understand, more languages than their native tongue. Many o f the students could be overheard talking and telling their secrets to each other in the language they were or had been studying, often making others envious o f their special talents developed in their foreign language class.

From the basics o f the languages taught during the first year to the more advanced studies in the second and possibly third year, the students learned a skill that would help them whether they planned to go to a foreign country or stay in the city o f Burkburnett for the rest o f their lives.

Health and P.E. fulfill education Although everyone knows that no one is perfect, physical education gets each person o ff to a good start.

Participating in several sports and learning the proper rules teaches each P.E. student the importance o f group cooperation and individual effort.

The exercise and games participated in gives each student a chance to im­ prove his body and skill. <*Before anyone can graduate, he is required to take a health class. In health each student studies food groups, good nutrition, diseases, and how each o f these affects him. This course is another part o f a student’s education.

Each morning twenty cosmetology students started their day by taking a bus trip to Carter’s School o f Beauty in Wichita Falls to learn to become beauticians. Offered to juniors and seniors, this two-year course gives a student 1500 hours o f training, qualifying her to apply for a state license.

During the first year o f study the students learned the basics o f cosmetology, and during the second they actually performed the work o f a beautician.

outstanding

juniors are selected to attend Boys’ and Girls’ State. A number o f students are nominated by teachers and finally the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary narrow these down to the honored few.

Boys’ State, at the University o f Texas in Austin, and Girls’ State, at Texas Lutheran College in Seguin, are held each year to educate America’s youth on the government.

The students organized their own governments, held campaigns and elections for offices, and generally performed the duties o f these positions.

By actually performing in a "m ock government,” listening to a variety o f speakers, and making a wide range o f friends, these eight students were able to gain invaluable knowledge for the betterment o f their future.

Driving: a necessity Driving has become a necessary ability for people today. Without a car, students could not drive to school, go on dates, drive to jobs, or visit their friends. Driver’s Ed teaches students the necessary driving tech­ niques and thereby possibly saves the parents from jangled nerves. With completion and passing o f the course, the students were better prepared to drive safely.

Drivers’ Ed students take a driving test.

Business classes stress accuracy The clicking sound o f typewriters and adding machines were familiar sounds o f the business classes this school year. Despite the desperation o f trying to type a little faster without messing up twice as much, the typing students learned a valuable skill that will help many with their future. A ccounting students learned the basics o f book­ keeping and the importance o f keep­ ing accurate records. If you noticed a student hen-scratching, it was most likely just someone from a shorthand class instead o f a preschooler who was tall for his age.

Law, business management and organization, business law, and business math were some other classes offered to give the students a head start in the business world.

OEA students strive for goals A job that seems to always have openings and often good chances for advancement is that o f a secretary, and those jobs are the goals o f many students in OEA. The first year o f the O ffice Education Association class is offered to juniors and seniors having had one year o f typing. They learn to type business letters and papers, file, use an adding machine, do basic bookkeeping, and perform other o f­ fice skills.

The second year is OEA co-op.

Those students who have completed the lab year o f OEA spend one hour in class and work a minimum o f 15 hours a week at a clerical job, putting their newly learned skills to work.

Distributive Education prepares young people for careers in the fields o f Marketing and Distribution. The program is not designed merely to help the student to find a job, but to develop a career in the field o f marketing. Students are placed in an entry-level job, called a training sta­ tion, consistent with their career goals, where they work a minimum o f 15 hours per week. To compli­ ment classroom instruction and work experience, the student becomes a member o f DECA, which offers many opportunities to develop leadership qualities.

Officers and some members o f DECA attended a Leadership Lab In­ stitute in Lubbock, Texas, this year.

Each spring selected members par­ ticipate in Area, State, and National competitive events. Special activities this year included participating in the Homecoming Parade, sponsoring dances at the Youth Center, marketing, and distributing discount coupon books, and giving an ap­ preciation luncheon for all training sponsors, the school board, and school administrators.

Home Ec. teaches vital skills Cooking, sewing, and child care often seem like a major part o f a woman’s world, but these activities are also an important part o f a man’s world. At BH S boys take Home Economics along with girls in order to prepare for their future. Everybody learned something in Home Ec., whether it was remembering to set the timer or to read the directions on a pattern. As the students’ skills became more advanced, they began to understand the importance and benefits o f the Home Economics class.

Agriculture offered for 4 years Students in Ag I learned the breeds o f farm animals, woodwork­ ing, and leadership abilities. Ag II became more involved in leadership skills and began welding and plant science. Ag III introduced the students to animal reproduction and showed more o f the management side o f agriculture. Ag IV students were mainly concerned about going into agriculture on their own. They also worked with the Ag III students on the school farm. Throughout all the individual classes, each student was required to have a project. Each class also participated in contests concerning leadership, livestock skills, dairy and meat products, and stock shows.

There were two other agriculture classes — Co-op Vo Ag and Feed Lot Management. Co-op VoAg consisted o f attending school part o f the day and working in an ag-related job the other. Feed Lot management lasted for two hours each day and consisted o f actual farm work.

The two classes spent the year constructing a house at 1110 Lisa Lane. They did all work except for electrical and plumbing installation.

They also individually built various pieces o f furniture to enter in the spring district contest in Fort Worth.

This class provided a good start for many students who wished to have a future in construction or just gain some experience in home handiwork.

When someone mentions cars around school, most people think o f how their cars look or how much they cost. Believe it or not, there are some people who think about how cars work. These people are the Auto Mechanics students.

They spent three hours a day learning the basics o f engines. They first learned each part and its func­ tion. As the students worked at their own speed, their skills improved.

They were encouraged to continue onto the Region, State, and National Contests.

Spirit staff gathers news The Spirit, B H S’s newspaper, was written, designed, and prepared by a staff hand-picked by advisors, Mrs. Jean M cN abb and Mr. Bob Carper.

Three special contributors also developed creative story ideas.

Interviewing and writing news stories and features was just a part o f the staffs work. Selling and design­ ing ads was necessary before other work on an issue began. The staff also prepared the paper so that it was "camera ready” when sent to the printers. T o get it to this point, they had to operate a headliner and a compuwriter, process the film from these machines, and design and fill layouts.

Other activities included attending a Texas Press W om en’s workshop at M SU in the fall and sponsoring a Rubik’s cube contest in the spring.

The special contributors were Bill Pittard, Lisa Gray, and G len Caldwell. Although the entire staff was new except for the editor, Suzy Meyer, they managed to provide the school with a great newspaper.

Even though the annual staff had a lot o f fun during the year, they also worked very hard. Long before school started, a few members o f the staff attended a three-day annual workshop at Midwestern State University. They even participated in a contest, without much luck, to prepare layouts for an imaginary annual.

Because they had only one return­ ing member, the new staff had to learn through on-the-job experience.

Selling the annuals the first week in November was hard work since many o f the staff members had to work around practice for band con­ test. In order to compensate for this shortage o f staff, they engaged the help o f the newspaper staff and waged a contest between the two staffs.

Preparing layouts, scheduling photographers to take pictures, writing copy, and rushing to meet deadlines were very frustrating for the annual staff, but it was a very satisfying feeling for them when they finally saw their finished product.

The new school year started two and one-half weeks early for the band, with the added inconvenience o f having Mr. Gregory on crutches as the result o f knee surgery. As the band members’ skills progressed, so did Mr. Gregory’s knee. Playing for a United Way meeting helped the members learn their music while also helping a worthy cause. To aid next year’s band in purchasing new music stands and chairs, this year’s band sold decorative candles.

As the first football game approached, practices became more intense and confidence increased. Monday night practices became an every-week thing.

At each game the shows looked better and more difficult, especially with the new rainbow-colored flags as an added attraction. T o help add spirit, policeman Tommy Thornton provided some refreshments after one Monday night prac­ tice. In spite o f the band’s enthusiasm, two major difficulties existed — the long, exhausting out-of-town trips and the cold, wet weather.

A week before contest, the band attended a marching festival at Memorial Stadium in order to spot necessary improvements. As a final touch-up, they per­ formed at a BJH game the night before contest. As an extra piece o f good-luck, the drill team gave the band a party. Then, on November 4, the tears flowed down many unhappy faces as a "2 ” was announced instead o f the hoped-for ”1” rating.

As the weather turned colder, the members pledged to "win” the remaining two halftimes. Complete relief and happiness were felt as the last Monday night practice was over. As marching season came to a final halt, the band became two concert bands, and everyone turned his attention to the future. Soon would come the Christmas concert and the spring concert. Many members would try out for UIL solo and ensemble contest, once again hoping for a "1 ” rating.

There was also the ever-popular stage band, which played at the annual cake walk. In between, there would be tryouts for the district, region, and area bands.

A few also tried out for the all-region orchestra.

In concert season the most important contest was the UIL concert contest.

At this contest the band played three concert numbers and a sight-reading number for a UIL rating.

Band officers for 1981-82 were: Priscilla Phillips, president; Sharon Poel, vice-president; Julie Weese, secretary; Shawn Cook, treasurer; Carla Wolf, librarian; Amy Hall, chaplain; Jay Baber, reporter; Sharon Poel, sweetheart; and Bruce Deeb, beau.

Although many people think o f a drill team as only a recreational ac­ tivity, it is truly an extremely difficult but satisfying experience. The Boomtown Babes attended a private camp from July 2 7 th through 31st, to learn new routines. After a week’s rest they started practice again, polishing their skills for their performances at the upcoming football games.

The Babes performed at each football halftime. They had a new routine to "I Love a Rainy Night” us­ ing umbrellas as props and wearing plastic raincoats and hats. Other routines were performed as the band played "H ot Lunch Ja m ” and "Hit Me With Your Best Shot.”

N ot every girl on the drill team got to perform at every game due to the "benching” rules. Red marks were given for talking or tardiness, and the girls were also "benched” if they didn’t meet the weight requirements.

Performing at football games was not the only activity o f the Babes.

After the football season was over, they began practicing for the prop, jazz, and high kick routines for the March 6 contest. Other activities in­ cluded participating in a production

They also performed at the Burk Chamber o f Commerce banquet on January 23.

They were also asked for advice and help from drill teams in Mineral Wells and Midland, and were even picked over the four high school drill teams in Wichita Falls to help start a drill team for Midwestern State University basketball.

After a busy year came the gradua­ tion o f the last o f the charter members, the first class who par­ ticipated in the first four years o f the Boomtown Babes.

Creativity and imagination flourish T o several students an art class is not just an elective — it is a very vital and productive course. Art helps to develop a person’s creativity, im­ agination and individuality. In this year’s art classes the students developed a sincere appreciation for art.

In the first-year art classes, the students learned the five basic studio areas o f line, value, color, form, and texture and how to develop their ar­ tistic skills using them. Each class studied drawing, design, painting, and ceramics. They also studied sculpture, printmaking, commercial art, and crafts. The more advanced students prepared portfolios to keep their artwork in. They also designed and created an environmental sculpture outside the classroom, next to the building trades building. It was a lasting accomplishment for the advanced students.

Drafters learn precision and accuracy

If a student wished to obtain a career in architectural design, the in­ dustrial art, or drafting, classes were a great asset. The basics were taught during the first year. The second-year students learned to design a com ­ plete set o f house plans and to deter­ mine the supplies necessary for construction.

Once finished with two years o f drafting, a student was well prepared to advance to an architectural school or get a job which would further his training. Whether or not he decided to continue in the field o f design, he learned to better control his writing and drawing.

Spirit Leaders — versatility Cheering at pep rallies and at games on Friday nights was only a small part o f what the varsity cheerleaders did. Their preparation for the ’81 football season actually began in the spring when they were chosen in an all-school election.

During the summer they attended a training camp at North Texas State University where they won 5 "superiors” and 2 "excellents” for cheer presenta­ tion. The main emphasis o f the camp was on building pyramids.

In August they conducted, in the park, a summer clinic for pre-teens. In the workshop they taught chants, stunts, and cheers.

At the pep rallies the football players often were seen with gifts or treats. At every home game the cheerleaders and Drill Team made cookies or candy. And at every out-of-town game the guys received gifts such as cowbells before the game with the Graham Steers.

This year we had the largest number o f varsity cheerleaders — eight. Each had four uniforms and one sweatsuit.

72 — Organizations

J V cheerleaders elected during the spring o f 1981 were Susan Hogue, head cheerleader; Tracy Coulter, Nicol Nunn, Lisa Laminack, and Cheryl Moore.

For variety, each girl had four uniforms, for a total cost o f $250.

At Hirschi’s summer cheerleading camp, PM Magazine featured eight cheerleaders for a summer segment.

The BHS cheerleaders were included in those chosen.

During sixth hour on J V game days, the girls served snacks to the players. They also prepared the paper banner for the players to "run through” before the game started.

O f the eleven area schools, only three have J V cheerleaders. BHS is proud that they have an additional set o f cheerleaders to represent the school.

This year’s mascot, selected by the Student Council, was Tammy Reed.

She went to a cheerleading camp in San Marcos, Texas, where she won a "superior” and an "excellent” rating and got to bring home the "spirit stick.”

At the games as well as at the pep rallies, she stayed busy doing such things as performing skits, dancing with an umbrella, flying a kite or lounging in the end zone.

Pep Club gets new look Although new uniforms gave the Pep Club a new look, the organiza­ tion almost ceased to exist. In order to perk up the appearance o f the club, new uniforms were designed.

However, the cost o f $65 prevented many from joining. The club dropped from approximately 30 members in 1980 to 9 for the ’81 season. Although their number was small, their spirit was large. Hopeful­ ly, next year, more students will choose to represent the school and build spirit by joining the club.

FT A — teachers on the way T o becom e more aware o f teachers’ responsibilities was the main goal o f this year’s Future Teachers o f America. Their first en­ counter with this goal was to go out among the Burkburnett I.S.D. and student teach. The teachers they taught for sent back an evaluation and the FT A members then gained valuable experience "on the other side” in a classroom. Members went to two teach-ins, one in the fall and one in the spring.

In November FT A sponsored a Teacher Appreciation W eek in which the teachers were given a gift each day. Some o f these gifts were apples, notepads, and cupcakes.

Burk’s only score came in the second quarter with a 64-yard drive and a field goal to give the home team a 3-0 lead to take to the fieldhouse at the half. The second half was an improved passing game with good downfield coverage on punts.

Girls volley to second With 12 wins and 7 losses, the volleyball team fared well this season. This team was a "com e­ back” team that fought hard to be number one and gain recognition and support. Due to a shortage in players, the junior varsity team dissolved halfway through the season. But while they lasted, they were 5 and 0.

The varsity started out well with a second-place finish in the Graham tournament, and a third-place finish in the Vernon tournament.

For the first half o f non-district play, these girls played strong and looked like they could not be stopped. However, the team fell into a slump, and for about five games were beaten by teams formerly smeared.

Once this goal was achieved and the team was picked, more long hours o f hard practice and rigorous training were used to mold these individuals into a smooth-operating team, not only from the five starters, but also from tremendous substitutes. Each player was able to pull his own weight on the court.

Same game — new look The girls’ varsity basketball team found that this season was going to be a rebuilding year. The court looked about the same with four o f the five starters returning from the previous season with varsity ex­ perience. What looked different was the bench with two new coaches, Jo n i Dunn, and Darla Murphey.

Some thought the team looked bet­ ter than they have since basketball returned to B.H.S. Lawana King and Mary Pert were valuable assets to the team; King averaging 15 points a game and Pert came out with 8 points a game. M onica Hicks and Christy Pruett along with some very valuable substitutes completed the team. Overall, the girls’ season was beneficial for building a bigger, bet­

Kneeling: Coach Murphey, Debbie Hassel, Norma Farias, Dawn Ray, Denise Hoopes, Donnie Kelsey, Carla Cardenas, Coach Dunn. Standing: Ke) ly Cozby, Sheila Brown, Carla Beck, Debbie Gibson, Angie Tanner, Debbie Denham, Terri Denner, Michele Nixon.

After watching this year’s girls play, one would find it hard to believe that last year’s team had a disappointing 1-20 season. With only one returning player, Dawn Ray, the team really had to start all over this year. The girls, as well as their new coach Darla Murphey, were deter­ mined to leave ’80-’81 behind and look ahead to ’81-’82. The girls and Coach Murphey worked hard to get ready for the season. Their hard work paid o ff with a winning season.

Dawn Ray and Denise Hoopes were great assets with averages o f 9 points and 6 points a game respectively. The team was very excited about their ac­ complishments and looked forward to an even better season in ’82-’83.

Rack it up for tenni*

Tennis is a year-round sport at B.H.S. Throughout the fall semester, team members work out during their assigned class periods, play ladder matches and take on area opponents in dual matches.

The spring semester

sees

the

beginning o f after-school practice, more dual matches, and tour­ naments. The girls’ team is young this year, made up o f sophomores and freshmen, while the boys’ team has more experience with several juniors and seniors.

The highlight o f the season is the district tournament in Iowa Park.

Tracksters seek Each varsity track team sent a finalist to the state meet in Austin in 1981. Marcella Thompson, senior, competed in the long jump and triple jump. Jimmy Phillips, sophomore, placed second in the 3200-meter run.

Girls’ varsity sent a relay team (Pam Steinmetz, Tammy Kauffman, Marcella Thompson, and Renee Roseboro) to the regional meet in Odessa. Roseboro also ran in the 400meter dash at the regional meet. In district competition the girls’ team finished the year in third place, being ranked by Vernon and Graham.

In the regional meet at Odessa, Phillip Dowling, senior, competed in the 110-high hurdles and the 300-irttermediate hurdles. Bruce Burks, senior, ran in the 400-meter dash; senior Ricky Ivory competed in the long jump. Jim my Phillips competed in both the 1600-meter and 3200-meter run, placing second in the 3200-meter and fourth in the 1600-meter runs. Ricky Ivory competed in the long jump.

No

matter

what

the

weather,

snow, ice, or cold, the hearty tracksters worked out. Track is a demanding sport on both mind and body. One has to really want to par­ ticipate and self-discipline themselves to overcome pain and failure; however, success is sweet.

Track has undergone many changes. All track events have now been converted from yards to meters.

A new event added last year was the 3200-meter run, a challenge to all who entered.

Sitting: Bridget Lewis, Diana Mosesmann, Kara Sharp, Renee Roseboro, Nancy Gould, Paula Gregory, Kim Ruble. Kneeling: Clarisa Norris Sheila Phillips, Beth Lederer, Jackie Hightower. Standing: Brenda Kee, Daryl Travalini, Tammy Kee, Ronda Baggett, Audra Sims.

Another new thing added to the schedule is that the girls’ and boys’ meets are now together. This com ­ bination adds a new spark and more excitement for fans.

This year’s girls’ track team was a young team with a lot o f freshmen filling some spots. They had had a good team in the past and this year proved promising.

Because o f many returning lettermen and those new varsity tracksters who moved up from last year’s hopeful freshman team, the guys’ team had the background to show well.

1. Rick Gill works out after school. 2. Bren­ da Kee practices the discus. 3. Jimmy Phillips races "alumni star” Andrew Daniels.

4. Bridget Lewis learns to throw the discus.

5. Kara Sharp works on long-distance form.

Bulldogs take district crown The 1980 baseball season saw the Bulldogs return only two starters to their lineup. Inexperience cost the Diamond Dogs some early season games to AAAA schools Lawton and Wichita Falls. The Bulldogs then won the opener of the Wichita Falls Baseball Classic with a come-from-behind victory in ten inn­ ings over the Wichita Falls Coyotes.

In the semifinal games against Hirschi, the Bulldogs rallied in the seventh to win 2-1 with Charlie Harris getting the victory. The championship game saw the Bulldogs smash their arch-rivals, the Graham Steers, 10-6. Frank Moehnke and Wes Hrazdil each had three R B I’s and Tom Pezanosky, in relief o f Steve Patty, got the win. This was the first time for the Bulldogs to ever win this tournament.

During the first half o f district play, the Bulldogs were inconsistent and drop­ ped the final game o f the first half to Graham, 10-9, to douse their hopes o f win­ ning the first half o f district play.

During the second half o f district play, the Bulldog bats and pitching came alive! Charles Harris had a one-hitter to defeat Hirschi, and Tom Pezanosky defeated Vernon 5-1 and the heavy-hitting Graham Steers 9-3 to win the second half o f district play, and force a playoff with Graham. Don Thornhill and Com­ pany destroyed Graham 8-2 and 7-1 in the playoff. For the fifth time in six years the Dogs won the district crown.

In the state playoffs the Dogs dropped two games to powerful Everman to end their season at 16 wins and 7 losses.

Golfers prepare for tournaments

Although participation in school go lf is moderate, these dedicated golfers put in many hours o f practice in early spring weather which is not always favorable to the game o f golf.

The serious player must work con­ stantly to reach his peak o f perfor­ mance and practice diligently to maintain that peak during the course o f the season.

Returning golfers from last year’s team are Mike Studebaker and Steve Pezanosky. Other team members in­ clude Kelley Carter, Brian Mannen, and Brent Mannen.

Seniors accomplish A C C O M P L IS H M E N T was the word for the senior class. After going to high school for seven hours a day, five days a week, nine months o f the year for three years, they had finally reached their senior year. The year was filled with many things before graduation on May 25. There were pictures taken, and invitations and caps and gowns ordered. Also, for college-bound seniors there were entrance exams, applications, and financial aid forms. The real sense o f accomplishment was finally achieved when they walked on the platform to receive their diplomas, the symbols o f all their years o f hard work.

Sophomores anxious A N X IO U S was the word for the sophomore class.

All sophomores agree that their school work seemed to never be all done. They bisected in geometry, dissected in biology, and diagrammed in English. Just knowing that if and when they survived this tedious year they would finally be upperclassmen helped them to endure.

They proved themselves to be an asset to our school and like other sophomore classes before them, were anxious to get on to bigger and better things.

CLASS OFFICERS: Shelly Wittman, reporter; Keri Kolar, sec.treas.; James Ray, president; CliffJeanis, vice-pres.

Freshmen adjust A D JU STM EN T was the word for freshmen. There were new teachers, new friends, a new building, a new curriculum, and longer classes. When lunch time came, they discovered that eating in the cafeteria was a rare occurence for upperclassmen who usually had access to a car. They also learned about safety in numbers and avoidance o f seniors. Fortunately, being a freshman was only a temporary condition.

Once the freshmen began to understand up­ perclassmen and high school life, they began to get into the swing o f things. In fact, they understood well enough to win first place in the homecoming parade class competition. It looked as if the class o f ’85 had gotten o ff to a good start.

Administration offers support The administration is a very important part of a school and at BHS we are for­ tunate to have a fine one. Our ad­ ministration is active in all functions; classes as well as extra-curricular activities.

Whenever there is an activity going on involving BHS students, Mr. Darland is there to give his support. He also plays a major role in building school spirit in the entire student body. The VicePrincipals, Mr. Beard, Mr. Combs, and Mrs. Skelton take care of the students’ attendance, help with discipline pro­ blems, and help with tickets, assigning duties to teachers, and handling films.

They are also willing to help with per­ sonal problems. Counselors Mrs. Smiley and Mr. Groenewold aid students in set­ ting up their yearly schedules and in making plans for graduation. Mrs. Owen is activities director and really keeps things happening at BHS. She is in charge of the Student Council, drill team, cheerleaders, Pep Club, and spon­ sors the junior and senior classes. Mrs. Gregory and Mrs. Bryan are invaluable to the administration by keeping the of­ fice operating smoothly.

All the members of the administration work together to make BHS the best school it can be. They work to make school enjoyable for the students by get­ ting everyone involved in at least some of the clubs or organizations. But most importantly, they strive to make the academic side of BHS the best it can be.

Vice-Principals: Mr. Wes Beard, Mrs. Gloria Skelton, and Mr. Gerald Combs

Counselors: Mr. Dallas Groenewold and Mrs. Judy Smiley.

School Board gets involved The Burkburnett school district has been well supported by its school board.

The men who are members of the board are outstanding citizens who care about the youth of Burkburnett and do their best to continually improve the school system. This year the board worked very hard to pass a school bond that would raise enough money to build a badly needed new junior high. The bond was defeated twice, but the board hasn’t given up and is in the process of seeing what improvements can be made to the junior high. Also this year the board concentrated on raising teachers’ salaries and plans to continue raising them each year. A final problem that the board is deeply concerned about is drug use, but they feel they are making some headway towards the solution of this problem.

We should truly appreciate the efforts of the fine men serving on the board.

School board members attend their monthly meeting.

Although the students’ feelings and activities in 1922 are similar to those of the 1982 students, the main differences are exterior — how things look. Derricks no longer fill the skyline, and BHS students no longer attend classes in a twostory building. Courses offered are different — styles have altered.

204 — Closing

BHS, once housed in a compact two-stoty building on Avenue D, now sprawls over several acres on Kramer (the "Country” in 1922). Also students no longer attend classes just on the campus. Ag students often wo r k at the school f ar m.

Cosmetologists leave each morning for Carter’s Beauty School in Wichita Falls. Other vocational students leave campus to work at various businesses in the area. Education now "covers more ground.”

6.

1. Coach Koulovatos shows latest karate chops. 2. Denise Hoopes and Dawn Ray warmup before a game. 3. NHS members sort candy canes. 4. Resha Hobbs and Deliza Hervey work on a HECE home management course. 5. Students leave at the end of the day. 6. A modern view of downtown Burk.

Although "the basics” still form the backbone o f the curriculum, these basics have changed greatly.

Students o f 1982 have the choice o f many more classes than the 1922 students did. Sociology, auto body, drivers’ education, and consumers’ education are some o f the "modern” offerings. Typing students use elec­ tric typewriters; home economics classes learn the principles o f microwave cooking. English and history classes see movies and listen to tapes about topics studied.

Science students learn about moon walks and space shuttles. The key word now is "more.”

Jeans, formerly reserved to workmen, now compose a major part o f each BHS student’s school and casual wardrobe. In 1922 a student who owned a car was rare; now a student car owner is common. What student in 1922 would have dreamed o f the number and variety o f cars now on the school parking lot.

Music is now important and every student is never, for long, far from a music source (radio, tape, or TV).

In spite o f these exterior changes, much remains the same. Students are still thrilled by team victory, saddened by lost love, and enticed yet confused by the adult world. Times and appearances change — people don’t.

1. Seniors give class yell at last pep rally. 2.

Renee Hubbs daydreams. 3. Robin Hatcher threatens Nicki Combs. 4. NHS inductees listen to guest speaker. 5. Student shows "Burk” jeans. 6. Close encounters of the round kind.
