Opening

Keeping Count s the year commenced, school officials found ^themselves trying to Keep Count of all 1003 students, the largest enrollment of students since 2002. With UIL officials Keeping th Count the same for 4A, the lurking possibility o dropping into 3A passed last spring.

From the moment students students would use the camera Texas Public Schools. With 180 days of schoo walked through the school to cheat on tests or homework. Adding to the excitement, seniors found themselve doors, they found that the rules that had been so important last 2004 marked the celebration of Keeping Count o f the days. 150 Years of Education in year had changed. -B. Hunt and Z. Melsoi The long disputed rule strictly stating that ID cards must be worn at all times had been revised. Now students only had to have them on their person instead of wearing them. “Wearing the IDs never bothered me,” senior Kacey Murray said, “but I’m glad we don’t have to worry about it.” Also pleasing students, cell phones were allowed to be carried on campus. Previously, cell phones would be confiscated if seen by a teacher. Now the phones only had to be turned off or on silent.

“When I was in school, we could leave for lunch. Schools are more strict due to liability issues and fear o f law suits, as well as increased violence.” Mrs. Hollingsworth ‘87

“Punishment has changed since being beat with a paddle was an option. There was nothing like hearing Coach Oates say, ‘Grab the desk’ in health.” Coach Black ‘95

“When I was in school, students could be punished with a paddle, so not as many spent time in AEC, OCS, or D-Hall constantly like today.” M s. Alley ‘86

“The dress code has changed because girls couldn’t wear jeans or dresses that were 3 in. above the knee. Boys had to wear shirts tucked in and hair only to the collar.” Mrs. D. Smith ‘73

“For our homecoming, the juniors made mums and on Friday delivered them to school in new cars loaned by local dealerships. Later, we drove the cars in the big float parade downtown.” Mr. Leonard ‘72

“Student life was different with open campus at lunch and girls were not allowed to wear pants. Later, only pantsuits (top and pants matching) were allowed. Also, there was a student smoking area.” Mrs. Barrick ‘74

“During my school days student life wasn’t dull as one student became the school streaker, running naked along side the English wing. Another time a student set o ff a smoke bomb in Algebra II.” Mrs. Ellett ‘76

“Our best prank was pretending it was our teacher’s birthday and throwing a class party. We brought food and made her a cake. It was not her birthday, but she saw all the food and let us party anyway.” Mr. Dowling ‘81

^Student Lifei In A ddition n addition to the hustle and bustle of the everyday school life, students still found time to just kick back and have fun together. Between preparing the homecoming bats and students helping with the Friendship estival, we all certainly had our hands full. Homecoming week began n students preparing the Its and skits at their bective stations and fling together at the end o f

the week, in the gym, when each class presented its work. “Student Council members chose a musical theme, because it sounded like it would be a lot

of fun,” senior Student Council president Merrill Sweatt said. The first place float/skit award went to the juniors who did a reenactment o f "The Wizard of O z.” Second place went to the freshmen, third to the seniors, and fourth to the sophomores. “When I first heard that we had won I was so excited,” junior Molly Turner said. “We had worked many hours and it was great that it all paid off.” The annual Friendship Festival again included the mud volleyball tournament. Winning their second tournament was “The Aces-In-The Holes.” Students, in turn, still found time to add fun to their life, in addition to improving their academic performance. -B. Hunt and Z.

Freshmen chose to re create a glitzy stage setting from the film for their float which was built at Pruitt Ford the week of the events. "It was hard at first with all of the arguing that took place earlier that week, but we were able to pull it all together and win second place," freshman Austin Crook said. -Lindsey Burks

Teen's individuality establishes fashion Fashion on campus was definitely more about personal style than Hollywood trends. Many students chose clothing with styles from different decades, such as fifties-inspired pencil skirts, vintage jackets and T-shirts, and stilletto heels.

And then there are those students who gathered to get down and dirty with mud volleyball. "It meant a lot to me playing on such a pretigious team and winning was even better," junior A u s tin R ic h te r said. "I am also going to miss my friend and my teammate Andy Slye."

H I Keeping Count] Editors' Note: In 1854, the Permanent School Fund was created under the influence o f Governor Elisha M. Pease marking the beginning o f Texas public schools. The Derrick staff joins in the 2004 Texas sesquicentennial celebration by preserving highlights o f the Burkbumett

school history on this spread and in the sidebar feature "Counting Back" on the division pages. Our main sources were the 1922 and 1924 Derrick yearbooks, Superintendent Dan Taylor and yearbook adviser Mrs. Anne Gillespie. -Brittany Hunt and Zack M elson

^ fc k h e n rancher Samuel Burk Burnett sold 16,997 acres ^ T t o Wichita Falls investors Joseph Kemp and Frank Kell, the town of Burkbumett was founded June 6, 1907. With the help of President Theodore Roosevelt, a post office named Burkbumett which combined Burnett's two names opened that year and soon the settlers joined the state in providing public education to the children. • 19 08 A one-room school opened in a house with five students and one teacher, but ended the term which lasted from November to April with 70 students. • 1 9 0 9 A four-room frame structure for four teachers was built. • 1 9 1 1 A brick, three-story school was built at an enormous expense to the town. • 1914 The first BHS senior class graduated five. • 1919 A two-story red brick high school building was built to relieve overcrowding. • 1 9 2 3 A newer high school opened because o f overcrowding. It became the current middle school in 1963. • 19 3 8 Mr. J. G. Hardin provided financial aid that made possible the building o f the $90,000 Hardin Elementary School which is still used. • 1941 Sheppard Air Force Base was established near Burkbumett causing the town to grow. Between 1957 and 1967 the population almost doubled from

4,555 to 8,750 residents.

• 1959 BISD opened Sheppard Elementary near the base and in 1987 changed the name to John G. Tower after a Texas senator. • 1961 As the town grew south, a third elementary school, Southside opened. In 1978 it was renamed I.C. Evans after Superintendent "Bull" Evans. • 1963 The high school moved to its current location on Kramer Rd. Among the students attending BHS in ‘ 63 was Danny Taylor, who in 1985 became superintendent o f the district. • 1987 Under Superintendent Taylor, the middle school building built in 1923 was totally renovated. • 1998 The citizens passed a $13.74 million district-wide bond program which included major renovation o f the high school on Kramer. • 2000 The improvements from the bond issue included a new gym, cafe, classroom wing and rotunda with a bronze bulldog sculpture, which changed the front exterior o f the school.

‘Little Red School’ creates living history To create a living museum to preserve the heritage of one-room schools in Texas, the B u r k b u r n e t t Independent School District had the high school carpentry students recreate a one-room schoolhouse near the site of the early schools in Burkburnett. "Last spring, the

local elementary students dressed in period costumes and spent a day at our one-room school with a schoolmarm or schoolmaster," Superintendent Taylor said. "They were provided lunch in pails, learned lessons the old way, and enjoyed jacks, marbles, and jum p rope at recess."

.Senior Class. What Really Counts... Faulty judging lead the seniors to a devastating crash at homecoming. The seniors received third place for their float, which was a rendition o f Grease. "It was disappointing at the time, but looking back now I think everyone knows exactly how well we did, and that's all that matters," vice-president Brittany Hunt said. Homecoming King and Queen went to

Erik Polumbo With little spare tim e left to count at the Id o f the day, students are encouraged to stay isy. Senior Erik Polumbo definitely has only a w spare m om ents to waste. Upon graduating, Erik plans to attend liege in Florida. He one day hopes to become famous ESPN correspondent. "My dream job is to becom e a famous sPN broadcaster or anchorman," he said. Outside o f school, he enjoys golfing, ;hing, playing basketball, and doing about any |nd o f water sport imaginable. He also enjoys ual teenage activities, such as being with his iends. Playing sports is not the only activity that

he excels in. Erik is a member o f the Bulldog chapter o f the National Honor Society and works to maintain a high GPA. "Being able to play sports is the thing I will miss the m ost about high school," he said. Reflecting on his high school memories, he recalled that his most embarrassing moment happened on the baseball field. "As a sophomore playing baseball, I threw a ball over the home plate backstop from center field to get a runner out," he said. With all o f his high school involvement, he is prepared for college. His m otto to live by is "Even if you are on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there." -Lindsey Burks

Sophom ores I Sophomores Bribe judges with 'W illy Wonka' candy To keep the sophomore class in order, class officers performed their duties. "Being able to lead the class and helping anyway possible with the students and officer team was the best," Lane Anderson said. "Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory" was the float. There were Oompa Loompas and dancing in the skit like there was in the movie. The class officers exercised their leadership in the float building. Also staying late at night to work on float, the sophomore class worked as much as they could. "During homecoming week, it was hard to get everyone to cooperate, but in the end we brought it all together," Ann Nguyen said. -Ashlie Tacker

H Faculty 1 Leonard again receives T each er of Year' aw ard As a second time teacher of the year and a BHS graduate, Mr. Greg Leonard has seen many changes occur over the years in the student body and o f course the building. "When you went from class to class in bad weather you got soaking wet because the campus wasn't connected," he said. "We also had more students, about 1300." After 25 years of teaching math, Mr. Leonard still faces challenges in his career. "The biggest challenge of teaching is getting students to understand just how important school really is to the rest of their lives," he said. "Education will determine how much they make, their college and what kind of lives they will lead." -Marissa Brown

If a student does not pass one of the subjects of the TAKS test, then he will not get his high school diploma. “I’m taking the TAKS practices seriously,” said junior Candace Haynie, “because it is important to me that I do well.” Students keep Adding it Up to get the grades they need to pass. -B.

Continuing as a hard working volleyball team, the Lady Bulldogs come back to the season with only two new faces. The ladies played well as a team, and being able to know how most of their teammates played helped unify the team. With a 3-7 district record the Lady Bulldogs did not advance to playoffs, but still continued to play diligently all year. "There were three new new teams in district and everyone had a really good team," said Kim Colemen, a returning letterman. "The district was very hard and the championship was up for grabs". The Lady Bulldogs were very welcoming to juniors Desiree Griffith,

and Danielle Goode who were the newcomers for the 2004 season. The team held consistency through the season with a high percentage o f kills and blocks for better team stats.

Volleyball team s find district games rough Even though they lacked experience, the Lady Bulldogs went 3-7 in district and 13-8 overall. "At the beginning o f the season we had a sense o f inexperience, but as tim e went on we seemed to evolve as a team," freshman Carrie Harvey said. "It became more fun as our skills improved, although we won m ore games before district than during." The shift in districts changed a lot. The Lady Bulldogs had to play some tough teams such as Denison and Sherman. Despite the tougher competition, the team pulled through and played a decent season. “We played well all year," Coach J'Bill M errick

said. "I am proud o f these girls and hope they enjoyed this season.” However, the ju n io r varsity was the opposite. They did very well at the beginning o f the season. D ue to adding teams to the district, the end was rough. "Having the leadership o f the upperclassm an helped me im prove greatly" said sophom ore Jordan Rickard. The Lady Bulldogs ju n io r varsity went 7-19 overall. They ended the season 1-9 in district. "We started off the season really well but faded off at the end," said Coach Robert Daiker.

After homecoming victory varsity football players find district challenging Like all the other sports for Burkbumett, the shift in district was tough for the varsity football team. The adding of Denison and Sherman made the season tougher. The Varsity Football team had a head start with spring practice, getting ready for the upcoming season. Then with after school practice in the fall, the team pushed on with the overhanging expectations from the previous year. “Spring Football made me stronger,” senior Jacob Amey said. “It helped make my hands ready to catch the ball as the games got closer.” With two narrow wins against Bridgeport and Vernon, the Bulldogs

started out with a 3-2 lead going into district. The weather didn't help either. The Bulldogs played hard despite the wet and cold elements. The Bulldogs had a season turner at the

JV, Freshman teams break winning streak The Freshman and JV football teams had a rough year compared to previous seasons. The Freshman team came out with two wins seven losses and one tie. On the other hand, the JV team finished with four wins five losses and one tie record. The freshmen's highest scoring games were both 2014 against Hirschi and Bridgeport. "When we tied the game against Sherman I was so excited," freshman Cody Burks said. "Coach had told us that we could have lost by 82 points, so it was so great that we tied them." The JV team's highest scoring game was 32-6 against rival Iowa Park. JV often practiced

against the Varsity to help toughen them up. JV and freshman would practice all week from around 1:30 to 4:30 each day to prepare for the week’s game. JV usually said a quick prayer before the kickoff. “The greatest part of the game to me is kickoff,” sophomore Josh Hayter said. “Your heart is beating real fast and you’re ready to go down as hard as you can and light somebody up. It’s the greatest feeling on earth.” Even though the season wasn’t without its ups and downs the teams were still proud of what they accomplished and many look with high hopes to the future upcoming seasons. -Priscilla Guffey

Tennis team places fourth in fall play In November, Coach Carey Caldwell was announced as the state 4A â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach of the Yearâ&#x20AC;?. Coach Caldwell was nominated for this honor, and the selection committee of the Texas Tennis Coaches Association determined that he was best qualified. Throughout the beginning of the year the team played with dedication and determination. They played hard for all of the fall season, and they walked away with five wins, and nine losses which placed the Bulldogs fourth in district. The district for tennis consisted of Rider, Old High, Denison, Denton, and Sherman. To prepare for the team, the players started 124 Tennis

two-a-days on August 2 to condition and practice for the upcoming season. In October, off-season started again which was composed of weight lifting, conditioning and footwork drills for five weeks, until January. Then in January, more tournaments were played and players got a chance to shine individually instead of as a group. A highlight for the players was winning the Hirschi Tournament. "This team got better and better as the year went along," Coach Caldwell said "I am very proud o f them." The Bulldog tennis captains expressed congratulations to Coach Caldwell on his Coach of the Year award. -Ashley Hand

Golf team tees off w ith fall success Both the varsity boys and girls golf teams coached by Mrs. Kay Dalke posted wins in the fall tournaments. “For the first time in years, the girls golf team should qualify for regional's and the boys team will be very competitive at district,” Coach Kay Dalke said. The varsity boys golf team tied for first place out of seven teams at the Doral tournament. They also placed fourth out of fourteen at Tanglewood and second out of twelve at Woodlawn. “I have never practiced with my school in Sweden or played with a team,” senior Mattias Andersson said. “I enjoyed being able to practice with the team 126 Golf

here everyday.” The girls team placed first out o f twelve at Richardson, first out of five at Glen Garden, and second out o f fourteen at River Chase. “Being really close as a team has made golfing more fun,” said junior Victoria Rousseau. “So did playing on nicer courses.” The JV team earned seventh out of twelve at Willow Springs. “I enjoyed being able to improve my golf skills on a nice course with courteous workers for free,” said sophomore Marc Beason. The golf team practices at the River Creek G olf Course and competes in both Fall and Spring golf tournaments. -Priscilla Guffey

Freshm an, JV improve in play Playing another great year of basketball, the JV and Freshman boys finshed off the season well. JV ended with a 17-6 record and advanced to district ending with a record of 6-4. Freshman completed the season 14-10 and held a record of 7-3 in district. Practices were held every day during school last period, which also extended to later hours. The JV team was headed by coach Mosely. He helped the JV members learn how to play a good game on the court. “Coach Moe did a great job this year," Terrell Brown said. "He worked extra and came in on days he didn't have to. I learned teamwork which is a major skill needed in the game of

life." Coach Baughman taught freshman boys the skills and techniques needed during each practice. “The season was pretty awesome and all o f the guys got along well," Josh Brownhill said. "My basketball skills have improved through the many hours of practicing and I hope next year will be better." With standards set, the boys have something to live up to in the following years. Coach Baughman was pleased with the boys' performance through out the year. "We had a great season," he said. " The team met all expectations and exceeded them. " -Jaclyn W hitmore

The coaches used a new system to get the girls in shape and to get them brushed up on their soccer skills. "We have improved a lot this year," Adriana Limon said. "We talk to each other a whole lot more and move the ball around more than ever before." At the beginning of the school year during preseason, the soccer coaches had the girls working on fundamentals, strength, and conditioning. The girls would do stations three days a week and weight lifting two days a week. The team didn't have any scrimmages at all until late October and early

November because they were still working on improving their game performance. "I can really see a difference in the way the girls are playing this year than they did last year," Coach Becky McCleskey said. "The Junior Varsity team has improved tremendously." The record stands at 36-1 for the Varsity and the JV has a 2-3-1 record. "Our team has a great season ahead o f us," Mary Spurlock said. "We're going to win more because our team is really coming together. This year we'll get past the first round of playoffs if we work together." -Hannah McGown and Lindsay Shipley

Improving their soccer skills, the Varsity soccer team faced tough competition in district. Due to ineligibility and injuries, the freshman, JV, and Varsity teams were consolidated to one. Inability to play was not the only set-back the team experienced. New district competition proved tough. "Having Sherman and Denison in our district is an outstanding addition to district to me, because it allows us to play with a wider range o f variety," D J Vieth said. Many team members felt this way about district games. "With the talent displayed on the team this year, I'm really looking forward to a good season," coach Jon Sonnenburg said. - L. Burks and K.

Softball girls slide into season success With an ever changing and improving team, the softball season shot off to a great start. "This has been a great season," said Coach Camille Moody. "The girls have great attitudes, are extremely hard working, and are open to criticism. I have seen the team improve so much over the years, and I am so proud of these girls." Building a winning team requires a considerable amount of effort, both for the players and the coaches. "The biggest challenge of playing any sport is getting along with your teammates," sophomore Lindy Anderson said. "Everyone wants to do their own thing, so it takes some

142 Softball

effort for the team to work together." As with all sports, softball has its challenges, but it also has its many rewards. "The best part of playing softball is sharing a victory with your team," junior Leah Moody said. "It's great when you can all sit back and say 'Yeah, we did it.'" Each year, the team looses seniors and experienced players. The freshmen taking their places have added challenges. "Being a freshman on the team, it's hard to live up to the coaches expectations," freshman Tressa Stoiloff said. "I also try really hard to be just as good as the uperclassmen." -M arissa Brown

Cory Brinkley was first team all-district designated hitter. Second team selections included Jacob Guffey and Dakota Orf. Honorable mention went to Andy Slye. “Our kids are excited and have set high goals for themselves,” coach Leach said. “With a little hard work and old-fashioned luck we can play with the best.” - P riscilla G uffey

Due to previous accomplishments, as of placing top three since 2002, the team hopes to continue this streak.

"I was so proud o f the band's performance," senior drum major David Organiscak said. "We did a wonderful job." In preparation for the competition, the band attended a two week band camp in August where they worked on music, marching fundamentals, and the beginning of the show. The show had a Latin theme and consisted of La

Suerte de los Tontos, Concerto de Alvarez, and M alaga. '1 really enjoyed this show because we got to add a lot of techniques like backsticking and drum to drum work," senior Jeremiah Hastings said. In May, the band went to Orlando, Florida, and participated in the "Magic Music Days" festival and parade at Disney World. "I had a great time in Florida," sophomore Cat Muse said.

The Boomtown Babes started their year with 47 members, 18 o f which were new members, and with Alysha Wessling serving as the captain. For football season the Babes performed a prop, pom, high-kick, and military routine to numerous show tunes performed by the band. "Sometimes it was difficult to dance to live music," senior Nicole Farland said, "but it always was great, and we all loved the feeling of school unity." Following football season, the Babes began to prepare for competition, which was held in San

Antonio. The girls performed a black and white high-kick routine symbolizing good against evil to a "Cotton-eye Joe mix," a precise pom routine to "Simply Irrestible," and a modem M ario Brothers mi 1i t ary routine to songs from the classic Nintendo game. After competing, the girls were able to spend a day at Sea World, a marine water park in San Antonio. "I loved Sea World," senior Merritt Adkins said. "It was what I really looked forward to when 1 heard we were going to compete in San Antonio." -Brittany Hunt Activities 155

We’ve layed a fabulous foundation and have come so very far in such a short period o f time. We’re looking ahead to a future that has sweepstakes in it.” A Cappella choir is for students who excel in their musical abilities. The choir

members also have the chance to perform every year in TMEA and Solo and Ensemble. Molly Turner and Michelle Alfert advanced from region try outs to state try-outs. “At state try-outs, Molly and I had a ton of fun,” said sophomore Michelle Alfert. “Even though I didn’t make it, next year I will, and in the future I will become an opera singer!” The Girls Choir is for girls who enjoy singing and need a fine arts credit. The girls choir worked on their musical reading abilities. -Lindsay Shipley

Journalism students of the school worked as a team to complete stories and draw layouts. Teamwork became critical while trying to beat the deadlines. Newspaper members often found themselves brainstorming and searching for interesting stories. The monthly newspaper kept students informed o f current events, new policies, and new movies and trends. “Sometimes it is really frustrating on deadline days because files can sometimes get lost on the computer,” said Mackenzey Lawson, newspaper co-editor. “But after it is finished, the

reward is awesome.” Yearbook members photographed several sporting events, student activities and wrote stories throughout the year. Creating the “memory book” for the year provided an opportunity to also display one’s talent. "Being on the yearbook staff fine tuned my skill for future careers in writing," junior Brandon Phillips said. Quill and Scroll honored 13 students by induction into the international honorary journalism society. - Summer Sink

Responsibility and desire; im perative for FFA members FFA is an organization that involves competing and the showing of livestock. In showing livestock there is a wide range of animals that are brought before a judge. There are numerous kinds of shows that many FFA members attend. Every year there are jackpots that are scheduled every weekend, and there are major shows as well. At the end o f every school year there is a county show that all schools in that county are invited to. “I love to show; it is

what I have done all my life,” said junior Lindsey Sykes. “I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t show anymore.” Preparation involves walking, feeding, and doctoring the pets. It is time consuming and only the best and most dedicated win in the end. For members that show year round, it adds up quickly, but if an animal wins a major show with anything such as a pig, steer, broiler, goat, or lamb, the payback usually is a hefty amount of money. -Ashley Hand

Auto mechanics, building trades repair cars, build FFA showroom The members of Vocational Industrial Clubs of America work on building and fixing things from cars to leaf blowers to buildings. For the first time since the classes began, there were no girls in either auto mechanics or building trades. In auto mechanics, Mr. David Ress teaches students about the interior of cars and how the engine operates. The students get direct experience when working with the vehicles. "I love learning about the cars and how they

work," junior Jesse Bunger said. "I'm learning life skills that will really come in handy later." In building trades, students learn how to build things from full-scale buildings to birdhouses. Their major project was building the FFA showroom. They built it to include wheelchair accessible bathrooms and wheelchair ramps. "This is what I want to do as a career when I get older," senior Anthony DeRubbio said. "It's a fun class." -Hannah McGown

Phenomenal year for dram a and debate taught confidence and public speaking Throughout the year, the drama students worked to memorize lines, build sets and perform several sensational productions. The fall semester brought many rehearsals with it. Preparing for the play "Steel Magnolias," drama students spent afternoons and hours at school preparing for opening night. "The people I get to work with are the best part about being in the play," junior Stephanie Seman said, who performed as Shelby in the play. "They are all crazy, like me, and

make it really interesting." Debate also helped students gain confidence in public speeches and conquer stage fright. Sponsored by Hardin principal Mr. Don Fritchie, students met every Thursday for practice in order to prepare for competition. "This year has the highest turnout rate for students in debate,â&#x20AC;? senior Matt Fox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully, with many great additions and under the guidance of Mr. Fritchie, we'll go as far as State this year." -Summer Sink

Pups consolidate with Dog Squad, help cheerleaders promote spirit For the first time, the Dog Squad and Lady Pups joined to form one pep squad to encourage school spirit with the cheerleaders. The spirit squads help promote school spirit by various activities such as making signs and cheering at pep rallies, football, or basketball games. The cheerleaders created the signs that hang in the cafeteria and inspired the crowds at football and basketball games. They also worked to create signs for pep rallies and performed at some pep rallies “Cheerleading gives me

a sense of school pride,” cheerleader Brittany James said. “And I also love the feeling o f teamwork that I have when performing a stunt.” Dog Squad members also create signs including the run-through at football games and the signs that hang in victory hall. On Friday mornings, members sold buttons, ribbons, and miniature footballs that promoted school spirit. “My favorite thing about being the mascot is all the hugs I get from little kids,” Lena Vieth said. -Hannah McGown

Sacrifice and dedication were two contributing catalysts to NHS and PALS members. Members displayed their character and leadership abilities in a variety o f ways throughout the year. National Honor Society, sponsored by Mr. Lee Seman, participated in several service projects. NHS members volunteered their time at the PPG company picnic. Peer Assistance Leadership, directed by Mrs. Jeanine Miller, went through changes while sustaining the fundamental

elements o f the activity. For instance, in previous years the PALS members were separated into two separate classes; this year the two PALS classes combined into- one class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enjoy my one on one time with my PALee because I build a friendship and feel like I am making a difference in their lives.â&#x20AC;? senior Beth Callaway said.

Student Council participated in the annual food drive, Drug Awareness Week, decorated Winter Ball, planned Homecoming Week, and sponsored mudd volleyball. National Drug Awareness Week took place in October with each day portraying a different theme. “The themes were fun,” senior Danielle Michaud said. “I really liked dressing up with my buddy Lacy

Heptner.” Student Council also organized the canned food drive for the less fortunate. Canned goods, tuna, and peanut butter were collected by different classes. School officials offered free tardies and bonus points to help motivate students to donate food. “I enjoyed the canned food drive, because I was able to help out the needy and earn extra credit in some of my classes,” said senior Beth Callaway. Student Council successfully collected about 4,000 lbs o f canned goods. -Brittany Hunt

Zach,

God bless! Roy, Kimberly, Ali, Lexi, and Alex

Ifs unbelievable how fast the time has passed. You've become such a wonderful caring person. You brighten the life of everyone. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a blessing to be related to such a strong compassionate young man. We love you Zach. Keep God first on everything. Love. Dad, Jen, Nick, and Ceciley

Brittany, Many things changed for me these last four years, but you were always uniquely consistent. It's strange how small events can make big differences in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives, and if 1 had not changed my schedule to take Spanish in 8th grade I would not be who I am today. Our friendship has evolved enough that we trust each other enough to take on this massive project o f a yearbook together, and working on it every day was a labor o f love. I'm eternally grateful for all the highs we had together, and all the lows you have kept me sane through. Love, Zack

Zachary,

We extend our sin cerest th a n k s to all those who m ade th is book possible, especially to Mrs. A nne Gillespie, who put countless hours into th is yearbook. We hope th a t you all enjoy it as much as we enjoyed m aking it. -B rittany Hunt and Zack Melson

The years have flown since the days o f Mrs. Garrison's Spanish I class in junior high. Though veVe only been close for five years I feel like I have known you my whole life. Being Co Editor-in -hief with you has been one o f the greatest privileges o f my life. Your good humor and tolerance >f my computer ignorance got me through the rough days. I couldn't have done it without you, aid I don't just mean Yearbook I mean everything. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend, truly will cherish your friendship always. With love, Brittany
