at Burkbumett High School High school is often considered the best time of a person's life. It is a time of transition, growth and constant learning.

From the time that students enter the halls of Burkbumett High School to the time they walk the stage at graduation, so many things are accomplished. You learn to juggle your social life with your academics, become stronger under pressure, make new friends and discover who you are along the way. Do everything you can without overwhelming yourself because remember, you want to make your high school story one worth telling.

So how do you want to write it? The choice is yours -will you attend basketball games or Student Council meetings?

Should you pull an all-nighter studying or spend time with your friends? Your high school story is formed based on the way in which you spend your four years here.

So ask yourself -what do you want to do before you graduate? It is likely that many of the graduates from the past 100 years have asked themselves this very question.

as BHS celebrates 100 years of graduates Graduation: caps and gowns, “Pomp and Circumstance,” and walking the stage. For 99 years, Burkburnett High School students have participated in this rite of passage, and this year marks the hundredth year of graduates at BHS. Students who have walked the hails here have witnessed many events in history, including the first man on the moon, both World Wars, and the emergence of technology and medicine. Students have also lived history by braving the Great Depression and by surviving the 1979 tornado that tore through Wichita Falls.

Although Burkburnett High School was founded in 1907, the first official graduating class was not until 1911. Many BHS graduates have attained great success since their days here. These individuals include athletic superstars, local and state elected officials, and many of BHS very own faculty and staff. “It is great working at the high school 1 graduated from because I am familiar

O ur basketball tradition began with players like Joe Glen Gibson from the 1947 varsity team.

While many of this year's seniors were getting their baby pictures made, seniors from 1992. like Chad Riggins, were getting ready for their senior portraits.

From parades to pep rallies, homecoming is a tradition at Burkburnett High School. It has been celebrated in various ways throughout the years, and the court is honored on the football field annually. Following tradition, the homecoming court from 1967 included I Hom ecom ing Queen Clydette Cox (1968).

I Although times have changed, students continue to strike a balance between getting to class on time and socializing with their friends.

Modeling this idea, students change classes in 1950.

I In the last century, B H S has undergone m any changes. Not only have the students changed, but so has the building. The school I underwent a major renovation during the 1999-2000 school year that added new administrative offices, and the rotunda. Students, despite the construction, are seen entering the school on the first day of classes in 1999.

Whenever I was in high school we did a lot of math on our own because there were no graphing calculators. W e did not have cell phones, and teachers did not have computers.

Everything was not as serious! We had a lot of time to just have fun. W ith state and federal testing, teachers have to be all about academics and there is not much time for fun.

Students were more involved in such activities as pep rallies, and there was a huge homecoming dance each year. 1 love teaching at the school I graduated from because 1 have been able to get to know my former teachers on a personal level.

Seniors take first place With Pixar movies as the theme for this year's homecoming, the seniors enthusiastically chose the timeless movie, Toy Story.

The senior class spent all week planning, constructing, and designing props and costumes for the skit at Superior Pallet. Displaying an great amount of teamwork and dedication, the seniors had many props and creative costumes to help bring the skit to life at the pep rally.

Most of the skit was a football game of Good Toys vs Bad Toys. The Good Toys represented Burkbumett's football team, and the Bad Toys represented Decatur's team.

Earning an almost perfect score for their creativity and enthusiasm, the seniors took first place for their Toy Story skit, “Andy’s Last Homecoming." “I loved Toy Story for our skit because the movie had just come out so It was new and cxciting,” Emily Adams (12) said. Many people at the pep rally were impressed with ^e senior's creativity in designing their costumes this year. “Our costumes were really legit and cute, and really added to the overall theme,” Ashley Paxton (12) said.

A with Monsters Inc. Laughter is the strongest form of energy. This was expressed through the junior class’s use of humor to help represent the ever popular Pixar movie, Monsters, Inc. Not even long nights spent working on their magnanimous and altogether imaginative float portraying Boo’s door could deter them from their goal of success.

The students showed their dedication; having to put off studying and homework in order to represent a class of more than two hundred as a single entity.

Even dressed as monsters and painted head to toe, these students of BHS managed to pull off a third place victory. . With a skit that alluded to a football win this class depicted a fairytale ending for the Bulldogs. The ‘opposing team’ got ‘shaved’ down to size while the ‘home team’ went in for the victory. With a knock on Boo’s door and resulting laughter from the giggling child, they claimed her door as their winning trophy. The Bulldogs were

winners yet again.

Toys, bugs, and cars were not enough to take the spotlight off of this class of monsters when it came to be their moment to shine and perform. “It was one of the hardest yet fun times of junior year,” Kyle Orris said. A sense of class unity was

established and echoed throughout the gym with the intensity that orJy a true Bulldog can produce.

ra "It's a bug eat bug world out there!" Coming in second behind the senior class at this year's homecoming pep rally, the sophomore class fluttered, crawled, and squirmed their way past all other competition.

Choosing A Bug's Life as their movie for this Pixarthemed year, the sophomore class spent over twenty-four hours creating their cookie box float at Superior Pallet.

With centipede tubes, ant behinds, and grasshopper legs, the class of 2013 entertained a gym filled with spectators for their second year of participation in homecoming activities. "The most memorable part of homecoming week was seeing the centipede people," Sam Castro (10) said.

Their hard work, determination, and lack of sleep was rewarded greatly with their sliver-medal placement. "My favorite part about being in the skit was being able to work on the float and hang out with friends at the same time," Alexis Holley said.

The sophomores' goal of entertaining the audience, winning over the judges, and having fun all at once was 2ichieved in this very successful week.

Freshmen take on the competition “KA-CHOW!" Although the freshman class didn't come after thunder, they stormed their way into the high school homecoming arena. , The students were initiated into the art of float building, props and costumes and most importantly teamwork. “The only thing I would change about the float that we would have gotten along better” Justin Bell (9) said. The freshman may have come in last, but hard work and effort were put into their float. With the experience gained this year, the freshman will use it to plan for next year. “It was a ■new experience, we all had fun as a group, but we could have done better," Dylan Stubblefield (9) said.

The students worked late iti the night creating cars from boxes and recording their songs.' It may not have paid off with a winning trophy, but it paid off with a sense of clziss pride. “Building the float took a lot of team work in making

it how it should be,” Joshua Mallett (9) said. All the students worked diligently on their costumes to make it more realistic. “My favorite Car character is Red the fire truck because Steven worked hard on it,” J Landon Stout (9) said.

and clean off with a firehose Players, spectators, and referees alike share one goal during the annual mud volleyball tournament; get dirty.

Each year students sign up to get down and dirty and display their dominance over the mud volleyball courts during Burkburnett's Friendship Festival.

The event, sponsored and organized by BHS's Business Professionals of America, is a one day, free-for-all of good dirty fun. Held as a fund falser for BPA, this year's tournament boasted 32 teams and 175 participants.

The crisp autumn air and water In the 50 degree range did not deter teams like the "Polo Dolos", "Fresh", or the "Redneck Gals and Fellars" from slinging a little mud and claiming bragging rights.

Sponsor and tournament organizer, Melinda Kleckner sees the event as a great way for students to be together and create experiences that will be reminisced about for years to come.

"The best part of mud volleyball was being coveredjn mud and the only clean part was our teeth," Julia Jara (11) said.

Finding mud behind the ears, in the nose and under fingernails is a badge of honor for all who play. Cleaning up is no problem for the true die

hard of the sport. A quick wash off with the fire hose provided by the Burkbumett Fire Department is the only way to clean up after a great day in the pit.

To put It simply, everyone has their own style. Some prefer trendy over comfortable, and some would be perfectly content In sweats all year round. No matter what the person's style, there are definitely clothes available for everyone's taste at many different store selections. Many trends have come along over the past few years that are both stylish and comfortable, such as TOMS, Sperrys, and North Face.

with your family Siblings are with you through thick and thin, through the fun times and the challenging times, and sometimes they are with you .through the trying times of high school. At BHS, everyone is close enough to be family, but for the legit siblings here, there is a bond that cannot be broken. “My sister and I are pretty inseparable. Even at school, we hang around the same group of people, then we go home and chill some more.

1love her,” Megan Tatum (9) said.

While some siblings go out of their way to avoid each other, and others are the best of fnends. For younger siblings, they have the elder as their guide for what not to do through high school. For older siblings, they have younger siblings that look up to them for advice and assistance.

Some barely acknowledge the other’s existence in school, but once they need back up, they are there for each other.

Even the sibling rivalry breaks when an outside force challenges them, which just shows how much they really care. “Although I do not have the strongest relationship with

sister, I would want her to know, if she does not already, that I love her dearly and she can come to me for anything,” Matthew Belcher (12) said.

Sometimes they are there when you need them, and there when you don’t.

Siblings are the foundation of what BHS is all about: a true family bond.

"What is the theme this Friday?"... Waking up every Friday morning and dressing up for themes is something the whole school had on their minds. Whether it be an unexpected theme like "Beat em' for Bailey", or just a "Blast from the past".

Pep rallies arc always about getting the school pumped up before the football game that following night.

The cheerleaders always start off the pep rally with some sort of game that goes a long with the theme for that Friday. Also the one thing that gets the whole school pumped up, is when we do our class yells.

"To be honest, I thought about what I was going to say at the pep rally as I was walking to get the microphone. Basically, a person can speak in public or they can't," Coach Michael Freeman said. For some people it might be hard to get up in front 900 students and give a speech but it wasn't for one coach in particular.

"How I feel after a speech at a pep rally has a lot to do with how I feel before. I played football for 14 years and the feeling I got before every one of those 149 games is addictive.

I BHS students stand against drugs If a visitor Wcilked onto the BHS campus during Red Ribbon Week, they would probably be concerned with the amount of students dressed in tacky Christmas sweaters. Many students at BHS anticipate the Student Council sponsored Drug Free Week.

Red Ribbon Week is a week dedicated to druig awareness. Students and faculty rose above the influence as they participated in the dress-up days that accompany the week.

To kick off the week, Tie Up DrugS'Wcis Monday's theme, which brou^t many students wearing tie dye shirts cind other colorful accessories.

Tuesday theme. Drugs are tacky, inspired many students at BHS to go thrift shopping for the tackiest Christmas sweaters they could find.

Students chose extremely fashionable attire for Wednesday's theme. Too Classy For Drugs, while Thursday's theme, Scrub Out Drugs, caused many people to dress in nursing scrubs.

Friday's theme, going along with the cowboy theme for the football game, was Boot Out Drugs. Students showed off their cowboy boots, rain boots, and winter boots.

Although the popular Nerd Day wasn't incorporated this year, many students decided to dress in their geeky attire, despite it's absence. A decent amount of students also devised Ninja Day for people who didn't have scrubs and Buddy Day for people who didn't have tacky sweaters.

Many students at BHS enjoyed the daily dress themes, while still demonstrating the campus's resistance to drugs.

and Football in Texas is not a just a sport. It is a way of life for players and fans alike.

This season, the Bulldogs were off to a rocky start, losing the first 5 games of the season. The fifth game was lost by one little point, which usually would kill the hope of a playoff run, but the players stayed strong and the fans never gave up their faith in the players. With practice and a focus of believing, the Bulldogs went into district play with a new attitude.

Despite a loss in the bi-district playoff game, the Bulldogs had a lot to be proud of. "We had a young overall team that didn't have the experience, but we're just proud of the kids and how they came together and did all that we asked of them to do. I felt that definitely showed in our district games. We're going to miss our senior kids, but we look forward to the younger players who looked up to them. They have taught them well and they left a good example of how Bulldog football should be played," Coach

and prove yourself worthy!

Most JV and freshman football players have a common goal; prove themselves worthy and be moved up to the next level of playing, whether it be a chance to play on JV or in Friday night Varsity games.

Freshman and JV players pushed themselves all season in practice in order to better themselves for next year's season and hopefully become a varsity player.

Freshman were faced with the daunting (not to mention sweltering) task of their first two-a-days in August; JV players, though experienced in two-a-days, had to face getting back in shape after the long summer off. Later on in the season the sweltering summer days spent on the field paid off. "I think the season went good, but we could use a lot of improvement. We had a solid offense and defense with a

few weak spots here and there.

Everyone seemed confident and worked hard in practice," Ryan Blackmon (9) said.

On top of working their hardest in practice, JV and freshman players had to quickly recover from games and attend school the next day after Thursday night games.

This serves as further motivation to make Varsity and play on Friday nights, teaching the players the value of dedication and hard work.

Volleyball was not easy, and members of the teams had to face several different challenges this year.

Girls Place Fourth at Regionals No time-outs. No half-times. No substitutions.

Cross country, a true sport.

The 2010-2011 girls cross country team ran their hearts out, accomplishing their goals and building character along the way.

Having one of the largest girls cross country team in the history of Burkbumett High School, with an outstanding seventeen members, allowed the team to work together as a team to accomplish their goals. When asked how the season went Coach Triana replied, “We had a really great season coming off a really good year last year.

Great kids and I am proud of all the things this cross country program has accomplished and what it stands for."

The Varsity girls took third place at the district meet in Graham, Texas, which guaranteed them a spot at Regional’s meet held in Lubbock, Texas. Out of twenty-four teams that competed in the Regional Tournament, the team was eight points from being the first girls cross country team at Burkbumett High School to qualify for state.

However, Alexiis Nobles (9) placed fourth, individually qualifying for state. “Making

it to state was an amazing experience as a freshmen.

I wish the whole team would've made it, but there's edways next year," said Alexiis Nobles (9).

The Burkbumett girls cross country team did exceptionally well this year, placing the highest at Regional’s they have

ever placed and expecting an even better season next year.

"I hope to make it to state, and most importantly bond even more as a team,” said Kelsi Rutledge (10).

than small town gossip Waking up at five o'clock on a Saturday morning to run a 5K might not sound appealing to anyone, however that's exactly what the boy's cross country team did. They dominated in their district, accomplishing every goal they set.

Placing first as a team at the District meet in Graham, the varsity boys became district champions for the second year in a row. Brian Keksi (11) placed first, taking home the title individual district champ.

"We were district champions and before district we ran in extremely tough competition in the meets," Coach James Moseley said.

The Boys advanced to Reglonals in Lubbock, where they placed seventh; unfortunately not qualifying them for state. However, almost all the boys on the team ran a personal best so they considered it a win.

Brian Keksi (11), placed seventh individually at Regionals, advancing him to run in the state meet held in Austin. Individually qualifying and going to state was a great experience, but the outcome wasn't what 1 expected," Brian Keksi (11) said, when asked about his experience.

Training hard and running harder the varsity boys had a great season and they're looking forward to an even better season next year. "I think it went really well. And even though we didn't make it to state I have no regrets because I know everyone did the best they could," Nathan Durst (12) said.

and hit an ace; Tennis is a sport like no other at Burkburnett High School. Unlike other sports, tennis players make a year round commitment when they join the team. They have matches in both the fall and spring seasons. With such a rigorous schedule, there is no time away from after school practice except winter and spring breaks.

Tennis players go through rigorous training to prepare for the season, such as conditioning in the heat and running in the park. No matter the: weather, tennis players can be seen on the courts honing their skills.

All this time practicing does not go to Wciste. The tennis team did very well in their matches throughout the fall season. For the second year in a row the team placed third in Team Regionals -an honor that previously had not been won in twenty years.

Playing in so many tournaments gives the team a chance to bond. "My favorite part of tennis is the closeness of everyone. It's like a big family," Raelynn O'Leary (12) said. Like any team, the tennis players always have a good time. "My favorite memory from this Tennis season is when our coach tried to dougle at the Graham

Tournament," Brittany McDaris (10) said.

The basketball girls arrived at the school early every morning and stayed late in the evening. Though it was hard on most of the girls, they would practice for however long it took them to perfect the drill -or until Coach Miracle said they were finished.

"Our JV and freshman basketball season went very well: we were 8-2 in district, even though we didn't get to play two district games due to the bad weather.

Focus Is the main way that the Oogs find so much success, and that Is one of the main lessons players learn.

“The number one lesson I learned from my coaches and teammates Is to stay positive and focused no matter how bad things may seem,” Casslano Weir (9) said.

They worked on crossing drills, comer kicks, headers, volleys, shielding, and much more.

This year they showed their abilities to ^e fullest extent. Through trial and error, practice, and games, they demonstrated a high level of quickness, coordination, and strength.

They put forth their greatest effort, stayed after school in the freezing cold, ran through the pain, and never gave up even In the most dire of situations.

It was with an outlook of optimism that they entered Into the district season, and they managed to keep a positive attitude through It all.

Both new and returning players helped one another and worked together In order to further advance the team.

They built a level of friendship and trust amongst themselves, which clearly showed once on the field.

Practicing at River Creek Golf Course, the members of the Burkburnett High School golf team concentrate on their swings time after time in an attempt to advance themselves to regionals, and as Brenna Moore (12) has done twice already in her high school golf career, possibly to the state level. Coached by Alex Koiilovatos, the members of the golf team participate in golf tournaments throughout the fall and spring seasons.

In addition to practicing during school and after-school hours with their teammates, many members of the team take time out of their personal lives to sharpen their individual skills by practicing on their own or with private coaches.

Golf is a peculiar sport for many reasons. First of all, the object of the game is not to score the highest number of points, but, rather, to be the player with the fewest points.

Also, golf requires particpants to use their mental and concentration skills to outperform the opponent.

Though golf is mostly an

individual sport, it is still important to work as a team.

every dream's worth chasing As the 2011 school year was coming to a close, the Burkbumett track season was just beginning.

Track and field events include: sprints, hurdles, relay, long jump, shot put, and other fielding events. Running track takes an enormous amount of dedication and hard work.

Most track meets last all day, with most runners running more than one event.

Students run track for all different reasons, but whatever their reasons, these runners continue to make Burkbumett a more successful team. "I run because all my coaches wanted me to and to stay in shape for football and basketball season," Austin Dodd (11) said. Other students run track just because they love it. 'it only feels like a few seconds pass.

It's an adrenaline rush, from the time I step on the starting line to when I cross the finish line," said Julia Jara (11) when describing what she loves the most about track.

While It's still too early to tell how successful they will be. Coach Ley Triana has high hopes for this years team In reaching their goals. "I'm really looking forward to continuing Burkburnett's competitive track tradition.

Hopefully new faces and

for the win As the winter weather slowly started to fade away, the competition heated up for the Bulldog softball team.

With many returning players, the team was determined to work hard in attempt to reach their goal of going to State.

The softball team practices five days a week and sometimes on Saturdays, between various games and tournaments. Although their demanding schedule may seem arduous and rigorous, teamwork, friendship, and dedication all help keep the team together. Building a winning team requires a considerable amount of effort, both from the players and the coaches.

This year, the softball team racked up many wins throughout the season. With strong batters and players on the field, the Lady Bulldogs were set up for success and dominated their opponents.

The softball team participated in several tournaments throughout the year, winning the Silver Bracket championship of the San Marcos Tournament.

Every member of the softball team contributes a lot to the team, and the team's success is proof to how dedicated each member is.

The sport prepared members of the softball team for everyday life by teaching them teamwork, leadership, responsibility, and discipline.

to reach the Capitol Beginning on the first day of school. Business Professionals of America members started hoping for nice weather in Washington D.C. come May. This year’s BPA National Leadership Conference was held in the capital city earlier this month.

Some members spent the school year working diligently to prepare their animations, videos, and parliamentary procedures, while others studied C++ programming, spreadsheet applications, and legal office procedures.. .all in hopes of reaching D.C. Members of Business Professionals of America are committed to grow as leaders at school and prepare for their futures. “The most important thing I have learned from BPA is the importance of team work,” Katie Starkey (11) said. “In BPA, especially in competition, you have to , have a dependence on others, and if you don’t hold your own, then the whole team suffers."

While the organization is largely known at BHS for their selling of beef jerky, BPA also coordinates the Valentine’s Day Data Match.

Other activities this year included attending a Dallas Mavericks basketball game and career fair, along with

Regional Leadership Conference.

Advisor Mrs. Melinda Kleckner chapcroned 22 students to the State Leadership Conference in Fort Worth, many of whom advanced from the Regional Leadership Conference at Springtown High School. All of the students at state served as

interns, assisting conference officials with various tasks.

The largest perk of BPA, according to Kleckner, is not what students get to do during the year, but rather the experience it gives them when they go to college and join the workforce. “Most of the students that were BPA members have gone on to be

successful college students or have entered the workforce to reach successful positions within their companies,” she said.

BPA members advancing to Nationals include Michael Aaron, John Liffick, and Robyn Foster, and Micha Guilbeau.

in April At BHS, some students put their academic abilities to the test by competing in the University of Interscholastic League, or UIL. It is one of the most comprehensive literary and academic competitive programs in the nation. Many students at BHS participate in UIL academic contests. These activities are designed to motivate students as they acquire higher levels or knowledge, and to provide the opportunity to demonstrate mastery of a specific skill.

Students at BHS take part in many of the UIL subjects that are offered, such as Spelling, Science, Debate, One Act Play, Computer Science, Math, Informative Speech, Creative Writing, and many more. There is an event for everyone, and it is very easy to join an UIL team.

Competitors meet many times during the week, practicing, studying and preparing for district competition. Some of the events can be extremely exhausting and intense, demanding as much time as any sport. Students who do well at District advance to the next round at Regionals.

Then if they do well, they

are given the opportunity to compete at the State competition.

While it may seem easy, the dedication and work ethic that BHS students exhibit in UIL competitions is shown through their various writing, tests, speeches, and presentations.

Students at BHS take pride in

academics and their UIL success clearly shows their hard work and devotion.

andTock out like a prc^ At BHS, students are given the opportunity to express themselves through music. Many students at BHS enroll in guitar class with hopes of learning how to play a musical instrument. This is convenient for students who want to learn more about music, but are not enrolled in band class.

Most students sign up for guitar class without any music experience. Other students who already know how to play guitar or know how to read music sign up for the class so they can improve their musical skills through the guidance of a teacher.

Luckily, BHS provides guitars for the students enrolled in the class. This guarantees that students who don't own a guitar at home are still able to learn and practice their music. Some students bring their own guitars to the class.

In guitar class, students learn how the instrument works and how to read music.

Then, through the guidance of Mr. Johnny Divine and Mrs. Christina Lewis, students are taught how to make music. The course covers everything from learning notes

to playing chord progressions on guitar.

Throughout the year, students have opportunities to showcase their talent to friends and family. Several concerts are put on each year for students to show off their musical skills.

Learning how to play theguitar and learning how to read music proves to be very beneficial to students. Overall, the guitar program is very successful at BHS, and many students enjoy taking the class each year.

the Bulldog Brigade maintains high standards It was another scorching day in August, and while most students were out with their friends, members of the Bulldog Brigade were practicing for their upcoming marching season.

One month was taken away from the band members' summer, and once school had started, they had to be ready to march over to the practice field at exactly 6:50 AM. Every Monday night, they rehearsed for about two hours in the evening. On top of it all, many students had sectionals during the week, practicing in small groups.

The Brigade's hard work and dedication showed every Friday night at halftime. Their show, "Rach Show" expresses the works by composer, Rachmaninoff. "We worked really hard this year, and everybody enjoyed the show," said Band Director Dallas Bayless. "I'm proud of the band for pulling it all together."

Preparing for UIL, the band participated in the Unleash The Sound marching competition in Aledo, and the Aubrey Marching Classic in Aubrey. The band made a superior rating at UIL Region Marching Competition, advancing them to Area.

In addition to marching, students individually went the extra mile to audition for the ATSSB bands. Twelve students made All-District, seven qualified for Region bands, and three advanced to Area.

Overall, the Bulldog Brigade had a great year. By the end of

the year, the Brigade had become a family, and each member had an endless collection of memories they Willi always remember.

and fill the crowd with Bulldog spirit After spending a week of their summer learning stunts, cheers, and dances at Texas Tech University in Lubbock during UCA cheer camp, the cheerleaders returned to Burkburnett High School ready to instill school spirit among their peers.

The girls decked out the football locker room with posters and goodie bags in order to inspire the boys to do their best. However, football isn't the only sport the cheerleaders support.

Encouragement for other athletics such as basketball and cross country, are displayed in the gym and throughout the hallways on various painted banners.

The cheerleaders also organized pep rallies during football season which they cheered and danced in. Not only did these pep rallies pump up the students of Burkburnett High School, they sent the athletes to their games with their heads held high.

The girls grew closer throughout the school year by going out to eat, having gatherings at Mrs. Coble's house, planning school related events and much more.

After being asked how this year's cheer experience was,

Hdeigh Camerlin (11) said, "The experience was amazing.

To have so much spirit and be loud and have people look up to you is so much fun. Being able to cheer for a crowd and making them smile is the best feeling ever!"

while giving a campus tour Walking the halls as a new student at any high school is anything but easy. Members of Student 2 Student at BHS work to ease the transition for transfers to our school by offering campus tours, a seat at lunch, and ice cream follow-ups. The organization is in the developing stages but has already welcomed more than 75 students into Burkburnett ISD. Student 2 Student members held a tailgate party before the homecoming football game, offering food and fellowship.

Last summer. Student 2 Student Leaders, Michael Aaron and Victoria Mooney, along with sponsor, Mrs. Alysia Barr, attended the Military Child Education Coalition National Conference (MCEC) in Washington D.C. Aaron and Mooney conducted a presentation on the subject of how new students are oriented at Burkburnett High School and also discussed how the S2S program here has grown over the last year.

“Our S2S club has improved significantly because of the MCEC conference. We have done many new activities because of It, and I have become more aware of how new students feel and have tried to help with their adjustment into our school,"

^^Along with S2S students from schools throughout the nation, Michael Aaron (12) and Victoria Mooney (10) pose for a photo with the Second Lady of the United States, Dr. Jill Biden. j^ A t the morning S2S meeting, Riley Jalowy (12), Austin Dodd (11), and Peyton Whitaker (12) listen to Mrs. Alysia Barr go through the agenda.

Mooney said.

With over 40% of students at BHS having some form of military affiliation. Student 2 Student plays a major role in assisting new students whose parents are assigned to Sheppard Air Force Base.

Much of the faculty and staff, including Barr, are military

dependents. “Growing up in a military family I went to nine different schools., .1 was always the new kid. When approached about being the S2S sponsor I thought to myself, ‘Man, 1wish this program was around when I was in school!’ This program is great because it helps all new students,” she said.

S2S, as it continues to grow, is attracting new mentors and helping with the transition of new students into BHS at a rapid rate.

what others can't Turning a wrench or turning a piece of wood into a piece of furniture is not a hobby that most high school students would consider. For those students in Auto Tech and Carpentry, it goes beyond just a hobby.

To truly appreciate the meaning of creating something to be proud of, students in Auto Tech and Carpentry start with the basics of the trade and develop the skills to use this class as a trade for the future.

The advanced section of Auto Tech competed in Skills USA competition that required them to build a project from the ground up.

This year's project included taking a 1966 Saab Type 96 body and combining it with a 1972 VW Beetle drive-train.

Painting, wiring, reworking the chassis and applying the final touches were all required to take the entry to competition level.

After remodeling the former AEG building to make a new board room for BISD, the construction carpentry class set about building offices for the district's Special Education and Tide Programs. The conversion began with the former board meeting room and upon

completion boasted 6 new offices with a large meeting room. Taking an existing building and turning it into well needed offices not only proved beneficial for the district but also for the students. Giving the students real world work experience allows students to see construction as a trade for

the future.

Gaining experience to be able to further their education in the trades field shows the Auto Tech and Carpentry students the value of hard work and the pride that comes from fixing what other people can't.

...and moo-lah i Agriculture teaches students not only how to be responsible, but also basic skills that they may need help with later on in life. It teaches the basics of raising animals, as well as developing skills in teamwork and social interaction.

The FFA organization was created and is furthermore dedicated to having a positive and altogether optimistic influence on the lives of students.

Going to competitions, raising animals from the time that they are bom, and raising money through fundraisers are only a few of the things these dedicated students experience in order to further their overall view of what Future Farmers of America exemplifies.

Not only do they raise hogs, goats, sheep, steers, and heifers, but they also spend their time improving their animals living space and teaming about the basics of agriculture.

The prizes awarded at competitions range from ribbons to trophies, as well as scholarship money and the title of 'Grand Champion'.

Through the year students dedicate much of their time to their animals, and by doing so are taught that responsibility is something that never leaves, and is always necessary to further oneself in competition, as well as life.

Preparing for college with the daily guidance of a mentor and teacher isn't something that most high school students can claim.

AVID, or Advancement Via Individual Determination, is the class that provides just this kind of help. AVID instructor Mr. Brad Avens provides valuable information about college and career readiness, tutoring and college placement exams. The class teaches students to have self confidence about the future. It also helps students find the right college to go to 2uid gets them ready for the material.

"Avid teaches me time management skills, study habits and what college professors expect from you," Ayla Ballard (9) said.

Every second counts to figure out what your going to do for the rest of your life.

"We do tutorials to catch up on our school work so that we make good grades. We also have the freedom to go to the library and/or other teachers for help and research," Harley Jackson (9) said.

The students have experienced several field trips, such as the MSU Majors fair. The AVID program is growing every year with new students ready to learn what they want to be when they grow up.

until your lungs hurl Sing, Sing, Sing! That is what most people think when they hear "Choir." But choir is more than just singing.

Vocal training, breathing techniques, harmonizing and becoming one voice all take time, dedication and pride.

Choir has a variety of classes that cater to specific vocal groups: ACap, Boys' choir. Girls' choir, and Combined choir. Each of these groups has a unique sound and styles of music.

"The hardest song to sing is "John Rutter's 'Gloria' for Pre-Area because of the fast moving notes of the third movement," Jacob Rios (11) said.

The choir has experienced many successes this year, both as a group and individually. Most notably Alex Skinner (11) advanced to second chair in state.

"The kids, they're all really talented. They surprise me all the time." said Choir Director Mrs. Christina Lewis.

Headed by the spunky, positive-thinking Mrs. Jeannine Miller, the twenty junior and senior members of the PAL group spend time each week visiting at Evans, Hardin, and Tower elementary schools and spend time with the children.

Not only do the PALs spend time strengthening and encouraging young children, but also strengthening and encouraging each other in the classroom every third period and through service projects and team building exercises outside of the classroom.

Focusing on high moral standards and norms, the PALs group is based on positivity, encouragement, respect, and trust.

PALs have an opportunity to not only strengthen others, but also themselves. "PALs has been one of the best experiences of my life, and it has helped me learn so many

Profits from selling homemade treats and small woodcraft projects along with revenue from "Bulldog Shredding Service" allow the ELC a field trip in the Spring.

Past trips have included a tour of the Wichita Mountains and The Chisolm Trail Museum.

Each day the students of the ELC are eager to learn new dally living skills and workplace tasks. These tasks range from cooking and food preparation to shredding papers and sorting strategies.

A night at FCA includes worship led by Jordan Roberson (12), a short ice breaker game, and a devotion. Members take turns giving their testimony or sharing an important verse or message God put on their hearts.

FCA is a student-led ministry, and this year the club had to overcome several obstacles such as, finding a place for the meetings to be held and deciding who would lead worship. Nathan Durst (12), became a leader in answering those questions and getting FCA started again. "I want our school to be noticed for our FCA like other schools are noticed for their basketball or football teams," Nathan Durst (12) said.

TX-2000a The Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps primary mission is to “Build Better Citizens of America.”

In making the newspaper at the beginning of the year for expanding their borders, eighty-seven cadets hold the unit strong. This growing unit is mainly comprised of one senior, approximately twenty juniors, thirty sophomores, and forty freshmen.

Cadet Group Commander Captain Daniel Moore was named the new commander in the second quarter, succeeding Cadet Captain William Nichols. Cadet First Lieutenant Troy Schaefer took the position of Cadet Deputy Group Commander succeeding Cadet Moore.

They lead with the help of their staff in the Cadet Corps.

“I love it (AFJROTC) because it’s not like any other extracurricular. We rock,” Moore said.

Other than building better citizens, the cadets also participate in Honor Guard and Drill Team competitions.

For the Veteran's Day Parade, Drill Team Commander First Lieutenant Justin Williams lead the cadets through, while

The Top Staff consists of Cadets Justin Williams (10, Drill Team CC), Craig Orris (10, Inspector Gen.), Cassi Dillard (11, A-^uadron CC), Paige Strahan (10, B-Squadron CC), Breanna Wright (11, C/CC Chief), Daniel'Moore (11, C/Group CC), Troy Schaefer (11, C/Deputy Group CC), and Will Nicholes (11, SASI Assistant).

Cadet Moore led the Color Guard. At John Jay High School, one of many competitions, Drill Team Commander Justin Williams lead their team at the competition.

“I feel we did really well, we need some work but I think BHS was represented well,"

Williams said. In addition, these individuals have a vigorous voluntary physical fitness program. Every other week the cadets participate in a routine physical training which consists of Air Force structured exercises. Some cadets voluntarily participate in the physical fitness activity outside

of school.

Overall, as their mission suggests, the AFJROTC program simply is not a class that is just a “schedule-filler’ or recruitment in the United States Military, but to morally, mentally, and physically build good citizens for America.

We also promote the events that are going on, as we are very enthusiastic about school spirit, " StuCo President Riley Jalowy said. "It has shaped me into a better person and a stronger leader," she added.

Student Council was required to come up with creative fundraising ideas this year with school nutritional guidelines restricting food sales, thus they had a Valentine's Day Dance and held a hotdog feed at United Supermarkets.

With the funds raised from these events, StuCo distributed welcome packets to new teachers and sponsors the annual homecoming festivities. Anti-Bullying week was a new project for the leadership group this year, and proved to be a success in helping reduce physlcd 2uid

emotional bullying, as well eis bullying through a new method: online and through technology.

With help from the dedicated leadership of Ms. Beverly Lee, the group strives to make the campus experience for all BHS students exceptional. At the same time, students involved in this invaluable club gamer skills necessary to become well-rounded members of society.

through public service By reaching out to others in need, people take a selfless step towards giving them a brighter future. Members of Key Club International, the high school organization sponsored by Kiwanis International, help the youth of their communities through public service projects. They host canned food drives, pick up litter, obtain clothing donations, and many other services which help those less fortunate than most.

This year, the Key Club members of Burkbumett High School coordinated the adult league of mud volleyball at the yearly Friendship Festival.

Also, despite having to wake up early on Teens Make A Difference Day and the rainy weather conditions, students cleaned up the school, made cards for the elderly, did yard work, and picked up donated cans of food around the neighborhood. In addition, when the Wichita Falls Food Bank brought their canned food donations to the mall, Key Club members helped build the can sculptures which are briefly displayed along the store fronts. Then, members sold tickets to and worked at the Kiwanis Pancake Festival in order to raise funds for children living in less fortunate

Who's Whoi A few outstanding students are picked every year to receive the prestigious and altogether magnificent award known as the 'Who's Who'. This aweurd is given based not on student votes or opinion, but the teachers in each of the different fields of study.

In order for a student to get this award they must show strong knowledge in the subject, show outstanding citizenship at all times, interact well with others in the class, and be willing to put in the extra time necessary to excel in academics while also keeping a good attitude.

The students that are granted this award are viewed as hard workers and creative thinkers. Their potential has been seen by the teachers and thus rewarded as well. The faculty believes that they will succeed in life as they have already exhibited the necessary work ethic and determination that will be needed.

It's through all four years of high school that these students are observed and considered to receive this award. They have shown since freshman year how focused they are, and how they are not afraid to put forth just that little extra bit in order to reach a higher level.

Winners of this year's annual Bloodworth Journalism Spirit Aw ard are yearbook editor Michael A aron, and yearbook co-editor Dannielle Hubbard.

The Feme Bloodworth award was first put into place in loving memory of Mrs. Feme Bloodworth, a former BH S journalism teacher w ho, in the year 1987, passed away in a plane accident. She taught from 1969-1977, won numerous state awards, and set a new trend in Texas high school joum alism .

Likewise, Michael and Danielle have started a trend all their own. W ith their hard work and dedication the yearbook was able to become w hat it now is. Years from now, when others look at their yearbooks and are reminded of the good times and the memories it will be thanks to these two individuals.

Amber Boatman

Intense dedication to academics, outstanding school spirit that shines brightly, and attitudes of the best quality are all things these students display. The faculty and staff of Burkburnett High School would like to acknowledge this select number of students as being the best of the best. This award is given out by the faculty and staff of BHS after much thought and consideration. Congratulations to those students who have been given this award, and thank you for alt of your hard work.

When we started this journey we thought it would never, but is the end, and it's time to say goodbye.

Many seniors have gone to school together since kindergarten, but come graduation they will say their goobyes and go their separate ways. It's time to start a new chapter of their lives, but high school will always hold a special place in people's hearts. Friendships created at Burkburnett will last forever, no matter how many times they say goodbye. "The friends I've made at Burkburnett High School are life-long friends. We'll say goodbye on graduation night, but I know I'll see these people again," Tramaine Harrell (12).

to send to everyone you've ever m et

How meiny invitations to order? It's a question everyone has to ask as graduation approaches. Ordering invitations involves a long brainstorming session of everyone who might want a graduation invitation.

Then comes the problem of name cards -white you can order any quantity of invitations, name cards come in boxes of 50. This leaves seniors scrambling to send the right amount of invites and not have tons of leftover name cards. As it turns out, the simple task of ordering invitations is not so simple.

Contents of a trash can? No, tangible items for a senior scrapbook.

For an English project all seniors arc required to put together a scrapbook, full of their senior year memories. A completed senior scrapbook should have twenty journal entries with ten tangible itenis to go with a specific joumal entry.

Disguised as an English project, the senior scrapbook is actually a step-by-step documentation of a student's senior year. "I usually complain about having to write joumal entries or trying to collect all my tangible items, but I know in the end I will be happy to have all these memories for my senior year," Audrey Wallace (12) said.

Seniors going to college are nervous about everything: if your test scores are acceptable, how to pay for colles where to live, and so much more.

Receiving the acceptance letter is jus the first part of calming those nerves

"L ast Y e a r o f S ch o o l D isease"

School is just "a walk in the park" for some students; for others it can be very challenging. When you wake up each morning, you think to yourself, "I only have to go to school for four hours...but it's only four hours. Why not just stay home? It's not like we're going to do anything important." For days like this, it can prove too difficult for spme seniors to find their way to school. Making up excuses like "I might as well just not go" "It's a 'B' day." "It's what time?" "We don't have to take TAKs test this year so why are we at school?" prove great reasons for some seniors not to attend school.

But, these excuses land most seniors into clock hours. Senior year is supposed to be fun, right? i?y/ee Dauis

from your o verloaded schedule Basketball game at 8 PM. Anatomy test at 8 AM. Loads of calculus homework and a swiftly approaching college admissions deadline. Seniors at BHS juggle anywhere from 4-8 classes and tons of extracurricular activities plus a social life and college admissions...not to mention those seniors with a Job. Many seniors are precariously balancing grades with fun, scholarships with work. Naturally, this leads to a great amount of stress. Every student has their own way to deal with stress -from running, listening to music to being with friends, seniors find ways to deal with the pressures of senior year.

Economics is a class to help students understand how the economy works. Almost all Americans invest in stocks theK days, so its a skill that seniors need to learn and what better way is there to learn about how to buy and sell stock than letting students play a stock game, based on the reality of a real stock system. Seniors leam the dangers of investing all their money in one stock, and the benefits of finding the right stock to invest in and make more money. "Investing in stocks made me realize I need to be cautious in how much and what stocks I buy," Jessica Davis (12) said.

Mrs. Baughman's sense of hum makes her difficult classes much m bearable for her students. During class, Mrs. Baughman incorporate; humor in class by telling jokes and playing various pranks on students By the end of the year, Mrs. Baughman's students greatly appreciate sarcasm.

One of many priviledges granted only to seniors, being a teacher's aide is a position many seniors choose to take advantage of. Teacher's aides usually grade papers, make copies, or otherwise run errands for the teacher they assist.

There are also office aide positions available for students, in the Vice Principal, Attendance, and Counseling offices. These aides perform many roles for the offices they are placed in.

Not having a class is a priviledge, but certainly not a class to blow off. Teacher's aides are put to hard work.

Parking in the senior parking lot isn't a big deal to those who don't use it. Those who do understand when they get out of government, art or ag last hour, they don't have to walk all the way to the front parking lot to get to their car. Another plus to parking in the senior lot is no traffic after school. Most of the teachers park back there and they have to stay after school. So usually there is no traffic. It is a great senior privilege to park back In the senior lot.

J ijjr decide w hat to study in college

"I want to major in psychology because I want to learn why everyone acts the way they do, including myself."

-Kenzie Bagwell (12)

Picking a major is something seniors start thinking about during their final year in high school. While some students already know what they want to do when they get into college, other students have trouble deciding what they are going to study. Students usually base their major on grades, personal interests, and hobbies.

Some seniors are not yet sure about what they want to study in college.

These students apply to colleges that allow you to enter undecided. Doing this gives people time to decide what to major in. Once students decide what they want to major in, they sign up for the necessary classes in order to earn a degree in their major.

C ouM : left in h ig h school

15 days until prom. 21 until Presentation. 37 until graduation. The minds of most seniors are filled with countdowns of their days left in high school. The end of the school year is packed with major events, and the timelines eventually all run together because there is a major event every day..

Besides the obvious reasons to countdown to graduation (really, who wouldn't be excited?), the countdowns help to remind seniors how little time they have left in high school -and how much they have to make it count.

What is a mortar board? If you were to ask most people what they thought a mortar board was you would probably get a bunch of different crazy answers.

A mortar board Is just another fancy word for the black cap that goes a long with your gown for graduation.

For girls they wear pretty black dresses and heels underneath their cap and gown. The guys wear nice button up shirts a long with slacks and nice shoes.

Whatever it is called, the Important part Is that the tassel hanging off of it gets turned.

"If you have a hole in the wall you put up a mortar board to patch it up then you paint over it" -Nic Watson (12)

"I'm going to wear what Is school appropriate and still sassy underneath my cap and gown"

Many BHS students decide to go to a college away from home.

For some, this means celebrating the last time they will be at home for some holidays or home for fomily events. A lot of seniors strive to spend a lot of time with their family and friends before everyone goes their separate ways.

Every month seniors get the "Dog Bone" which is just a reminder of some of the things going on around school and around the community. Also every month on the "Dog Bone" it has the quote "Don't forget to check the scholarship box often because new ones come in daily!" Many seniors take advantage of this box but also some don't. Scholarships are very helpful in paying for tuition cmd board. Especially if you go to a big college such as University of Texas, Texas Tech or University of North Texas.

Studying, applying for college, and taking the SAT -all epic moments in a senior's life. Where to sit at lunch; monumental.

During lunch, the senior table is prime real estate. Failing to claim a seat as soon as possible could result in having to sit on the end aka "No man's land."

The cause for the competition is each senior wants to catch up on the day's news, plan for the weekend's events and get the scoop on upcoming assignments.

Sitting next to your friends at lunch was an important part of grade school and holds true in high school as well.

free time, the senior table is a popular place at lunch.

Class of 2011 Graduation is supposed to be a time of celebration and the fulfillment of 13 years of academic studies. All of a parent's hopes and dreams are fulfilled when their child's tassel is moved to the other side and they are officially high school graduates.

However, many seniors see graduation as an end to friendships and normalcy, and the beginning of scary (but exciting) new lives.

We entered the school as freshman afraid of the "big scary seniors." Boys basketball went to state, and Derrell Gibbs had the distinction of being the only freshman on the team. We slowly figured out the way high school works and matured (barely) by the end of the year. Other athletic accomplishments from freshman year include the softball team's trip to state and the first of four straight years that the football team made It to the playoffs.

Sophomore year began, and we felt a little more grown up In our second year. We got licenses and cars...and of course got in a few fender-benders. Also, the entire school witnessed Riley Jalowy shove Brandon Johnson out of a chair to win musical chairs during a pep rally.

Junior year began with mud volleyball and the usual homecoming skits. We were so proud of our first place victory that was made possible by such parents as Mrs. Durst and late nights at Superior Pallet that Included dance practice, painting, and last-minute flower making. This week filled with stress brought unity to our class, and

made us stronger each year. The boys basketball team advanc^ to the regional tournament for the third year in a row.

Although the powerlifting team was just shy of a state title, they went on to win a national championship. Also representing BHS at the national level were John Lifflck and Justin Morgan, who competed at the BPA National Leadership Conference In Anaheim, California. Our classmates have truly exemplified Burkburnett High School

through their athletic and academic accomplishments.

Senior year came, and we got brave.

We knew who would allow goofing off, and who wouldn't stand for it. We stood up to authority, even when it wasn't wise to do so • the senior class picture was nearly impossible to take because certain people would not stop making hand gestures • and Andt«w Runyon and Canon Cornelius wanted to hold hands. We roamed the

halls. We turned everything into a joke. We focused on making the most of our senior year, because we knew we were only given one. We had extremely spirited student sections in both footb^l and basketball. We didn't waste a moment of our last year of Ihigh school.

"Maybe you'll get everything you wished for. Maybe, you'll get more than you •ever could've imagined. Who knows where llife will take you, the road is long and in the

end... the journey is the destination."

Graduation is only a couple of hours and, although walking the stage is a huge accomplishment, the ceremony itself is not what matters: it is what it took to get there that truly matters. Congratulations Class of

2011!

Ik B egin gearing u p for college

During one's junior year, he or she often begins gearing up for the years ahead...college. Although at the beginning of the year, graduation and going off to school seems far away, by the time May of junior year rolls around, graduation is only in a matter of months.

When applying to colleges and universities it is often necessary to take entrance exams, like the SAT and ACT. "Take your SAT or ACT tests early. Start at the end of your junior year, so you will be ahead of the curve when you are a senior," counselor Mrs. Susie Nix said.

It is a good idea to take entrance exams early so you

Being a junior means having more privileges. One of which is the opportunity to attend Prom. This annual dance requires a great deal of preparation; not only by those organizing the event, but also by the attendees.

Many young ladies begin thinking of possible hairstyles, accessories, and how they'll get their nails done, a great deal ahead of time. However, the one necessity of prom, which must be absolutely exquisite before stepping foot into the MPEC, is undoubtedly the dress.

"I want something that's kind of unique but not weird looking, and I want to look good in it," said Hannah Slater (11). While there are a few places to buy dresses for sucl occasions in Wichita Falls, many girls purchase their dresses online or travel to Dallas.

Juniors are commonly asked the question, "what do ;ou want to be when you grow ijp?" The answer is most likely a profession which requires more than merely a high lichool diploma. Therefore, i;igorous preparation for !:ollege is highly recommended.

"Cbllege recruiters have (reported over and over one of Ithe most important factors in the college admission process « the rigor and relevance of a Student's course work. The AP tcvel courses help provide that fagor and also promote good iitudy habits. Gone is the day laf slacking off your last years in high school .College is lighly competitive at all evels," counselor Mrs. Lana -iggett said.

Preparing for a lab in AP Biology, Dakota Johnson (11) and Dylan Sander (11) gather the necessary v. chemicals.

By choosing to enroll in AP courses, juniors not only put themselves in a college classroom environment, but they also get the chance to earn college credit. Although taking advanced courses challenges students academically, it makes the transition to college life much easier.

\jj(fMeeting with counselor Mrs.' ’ Lana Liggett, Mitch Saville (11) receives guidance regarding his schedule.

One major hurdle that all juniors must tackle is the Exit Level TAKS. Some look forward to not having to come to school during TAKS days their senior year. However, the biggest advantage of passing the math, science, social studies, and English portions of TAKS is a diploma. Students must pass their Exit Level TAKS test in order to graduate.

What many students may not understand, though, is that passing the TAKS test can save them time and money. Not only do those who pass not have to retake the TAKS test or take TAKS prep classes, but they can become exempt from other tests. "It's important to pass your Exit Level TAKS so that you meet one of the major graduation requirements." Counselor Mrs. Gloria Bond said.

Not only does junior year bring new courses, it also brings in new experiences, 4B mainly in regards to jobs. Juniors choose to work for many different reasons... one of the most popular is to have money and pay for a car. “The hardest part of having a job is dealing with people takes a lot of patience, but in the end it's fun and rewarding,” Hannah Clendenon (11) saidi Whether jobs being at United, Chicken Express, or McDonalds students do it all; flip burgers, take orders, and carry groceries. A job is truly a great way to help prepare students for real life and teaches important life lessons. "The most rewarding thing about having a job is the respect and trust you get from your parents, and the money isn't bad cither," Haylee Fulton (11) said. So, with having a job comes a lot of freedom and responsibility.

"Friends, R o m ans, C o u n try m e n ..."

It’s sophomore year, 2uid there are many things that break students from their freshman identity. For example, sophomores must memorize the “Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears” speech fi-om Julius Caesar, written by William Shakespeare. It’s a difficult rite of passage that everyone must face in English II. In World Geography, students get a flashback to middle school days with a twist. Coloring maps used to be easy and fun, but now it requires intense memorization and studying of the physical and political Eispects of them. Sophomores are no longer viewed as needy; it is the year students learn to increase their independence and help themselves.

Sophomores possess certain

power and authority since they have left their freshman days behind them. Not only knowing where to go and what to do around school, but also being able to help the freshmen is a level of high school sophomores must surpass in their year to prove their place.

Yet another way of achieving sophomore status is taking the practice versions of college tests, learning to drive, gaining more freedom, and such all happen your sophomore year. Basically, it's the year students mature and take hold of their own lives, preparing themselves for the future. Embrace all of the new responsibilities and freedoms and go ahead and flaunt the fact that you're no longer a lost and confused freshman.

It's a flour chilc

This year the sophomores and other classes had a chance to play pretend, by taking care of a fake baby. They had all the responsibilities that a real parent holds. Not only having to wake up in the middle of the night, but also figuring up how much it would cost to raise the child's first year of life.

Hopefully they realized it's not so easy to raise a child by yourself.

These babies are just like a real child; you have to do everything for the doll like a real baby. They have needs to be met just like a real child would, and if ignored they will scream and scream, until they get what they need. The main lesson behind this was not only to know how to raise a child.

but also to learn responsibiii and dedication towards yourself and others for the future.

Babies are never easy to take care of, feke or real, ai perhaps this class has had! eff^t on the sophomores ai the rest of the student body making them think twice be unintentionally creating an unforeseen future.

One great thing about your second year of high school is the fact that you are no longer a ‘fish’.

Freshmen are teased relentlessly, but once they become sophomores, it’s their chance for revenge. They also get the opportunity to show off their knowledge of the school, especially on what to and what not to do.

They come back to school, and they know exactly where all of their classes are and the fastest route to take. They know exactly what to expect at the pep rallies with Mrs. Bell’s “Boom Chicka Boom” and the band’s “Oh, snap! Here we go!" Sophomores have had practice with the class yell, and they know they need to be louder than ever to even try to compete with the seniors.

When it comes to lunch, they have a pretty good idea of which group they will sit with, and they are more comfortable with their surroundings. Floating through the year is a lot easier as a sophomore now that you have gotten the hang of the whole high school thing, but you've still got two more years of learning how to get it right and stay out of trouble.

getting to class

Four of the most dreaded words in a students' vocabulary: first day of school.

Perhaps more frightening than that is applying that sentence to a students' first official day of high school. Stepping out of their parents' car or off of the bus for the first taste of high school can be nerve inducing, but more chaos ensues inside the building as it becomes time to figure out the daily schedule and the location of eight different teachers' rooms.

Though the hectic hallways and crowded lunchroom can be intimidating, the occasional guidance of an upper-classman can help make the day easier, but the best way to learn the ropes is to live through it and find your way without much help. "On the first day of school, I had trouble finding my classes because the school was really big." Meghan Getchell (9) said. Everyone has experienced it and survived.

Many students find that after the first week, they have their schedule memorized and are able to start enjoying their high school experience.

Freshmen

Walking into the cafeteria the first day of freshman year, seeing all the upperclassmen already seated and chatting away. Is never a fun experience. It's one of the great questions of high school life 'Where am I going to sit?'.

"All I did was sit at a empty table and people came to me like a magnet." Ryan Blackmon (9) said.

It's one of the first problems faced by every freshman, and one that is unavoidable. But, In the end. It's also a way to meet new people as well as make new friends.

Not only Is this something faced on the first day, but the second as well, seeing as It's possible to have first lunch one day and second the next. But once things are set, and you And a place to sit, all the stress seems over nothing.

your extracurriculars

W \Watchina the instructor while he warms up, Jason Montgomery (9) enjoys playing the drums as a way to pass the time.

Coming to high school, there are many more choices to choose from when it comes to extracurricular activities. With this increase in choices it can be hard to decide on just one thing.

Freshman year is the yeeur to experiment with the different clubs and sports in order to decide what it is that one should dedicate the rest of their high school years to doing.

The choices range anywhere from soccer to art, football to theatre, UIL to FFA, and many many more. "I enjoy meeting new people and working with others." Evie Vela (9) said. It can be overwhelming at times, and quite intimidating at others, but it always ends up being worth it.

They are a way to meet new people, take up some free time, learn skills that would otherwise go ignored, and simply to have fun in general.

With the wide Vciriety of things available there is something for everyone to do. Starting on it freshman year just adds to the amount of time one gets to spend doing the activity they end up choosing.

EUld learn to sw im Freshmen have been called “Fish" for a long time, because they're young and new to the school. Learning to swim is learning to know the school and the rules. Freshmen this year had to mature and keep up with their schedule as well as the increased workload. Being involved in many different activities was hard for the freshmen; they had to keep their grades up to stay in their activities and lost extra time because of them. "The scariest thing for me when I became a f^^hman was not being able to find my classes." Brianna Rooney (9) said. Most o f the students said that it was hard at first but that it got easier when the first week continued. Luckily, they had upperclassmen help them get to the ri^t class.

Next year they will be able to look back and remember how fri^tening It was that first week of school. Maybe these freshman will show next year's freshmen the same courtesy that was bestowed upon them.

'\ Jt Watching football and waiting to play, Alex Karabel (9) holds his sousaphone in anticipation for the performance to come.

At the beginning and all throughout most school years, many people complain about the freshmen. Though sometimes these complaints are unfair, often freshmen are found annoying and immature by their upperclassmen.

Fresh out of junior high, it can be difficult for some freshmen to transition from interacting with twelve and thirteen year olds to interacting with seventeen and eighteen year olds. Freshmen are not 'stupid' they simply need some practice at high school and accepting more responsibility. From managing both extracurricular and school time to knowing how to behave in the lunch room, freshmen have to learn the ropes for themselves.

Inunature people are in every class, from freshmen to seniors, and, though, typically the younger freshmen are found guilty of being most annoying, not all freshmen are incapable of maturing nicely and acting their own age. It all just takes some time.

Burkburnett ISD Board of Trustees to create a "recognized" district

Back Row: Board Member Ray Ono, Vice President Jason Durst, President Curtis Heptner, Board Member Ed Godsey Front Row: Board Member Terry Klipp, Board Member Billie Gorham, Secretary Carla Morrow

Taking on a challenge as grand as aligning teachers, administrators, students, parents and the community to create a top notched school district is not for the faint of heart. For the community that is BISD, this is a welcome challenge. The reward of achieving a "recognized" distinction by the Texas Education Agency was the outcome of years of focused optimism.

Teachers were challenged to increase the rigor and relevance of their curriculum, to attend workshops for innovative teaching methods, and to create better working relationships with their students.

Serving up dinner for students to attend TAKS preparation sessions, teaching additional sections of core classes and staying late or coming in early were just a few things that teachers did to reach out to students to help them achieve their best.

The backbone of this focus came directly from the governing body of BISD. As a result of their dedication to learning and student focused policies, the BISD Board of Trustees was selected as the Region 9 Honor Board by the Texeis Association of School Administrators 2010 School Board Awards Program. The tireless effort by the Board of Trustees demonstrates that attitude truly reflects leadership.

Every teacher always tries to make an impact in students lives whether it be by helping one of their students one on one or just by being another shoulder to lean on.

Whether you believe it or not. teachers want to make a difference in their students lives.

They want to be able to help every student to improve, and prepare them to graduate and for college." I hope 1give students a safe place to learn and the tools to learn with." English teacher Rae Gillen said.

From teaching freshmen to seniors -one fact remains the same. Students who arc willing to learn always have a resource within their teachers. Technology allows students to slay connccted with their students 24 hours a day.

Texting, Faa'book, and email arc just a few ways students arc able to submit assignments, ask questions and get make up work.

Giving their time, their intellect, and their heart lo a profession that is often overlookal is what teachers do best.

f

when entering the real world For 100 years students have walked the hallways of Burkburnett High School. They've gone though the same struggles, hardships, ups and downs throughout the years. "What will I wear for pictures?", "Who will I take to prom?", "How will I pass this test?". The high school students that walk the hallways may be changing at a constant rate, but the atmosphere is everlasting.

The freshmen are still fishes, the sophomores are just waiting to become upperclassmen, the juniors are cramming for new AP classes, and the . seniors are coming to the cpnclusion that life is really about to start. It's the same story, repeated again and again, simply by a different person each time.

So as the days of this school year draw to a close, the cycle will reach its ending so that it can start once again with a different audience and different actors. Those who graduate will move onto the stage of adulthood, while those who move onto the next grade will continue memorizing the lines needed to further advance and prepare for what is to come.

What do you want to do before your high school experience comes to a close? The options are endless -will you make it to the top ten percent? Make an eight on a essay? Go to state?

Win in district? The choices are all there, it's only up to you.

For 100 years students have walked the hallways of Burkburnett High School, they've leaped the obstacles, studied until the late hours of the night, and worked to make the best of the time they have before taking a leap into the unknown.

High school changes its occupants as often as the ticking of a clock, every second different from the next, every moment causing a new memory to be formed. As the school year reaches its finale, a new story is only just to begin. For life is not a novel, but a complete series full of happiness, sadness, indifference, and every other emotion felt by humankind.

— Amber Boatman ^ T he Student council dedicates their time to decorating the school rotunda for Christmas.

Not only did they help to spread the spirit of the holiday, but had a good time while doing it.
