On the map “Burk-BURN-it? Where’s that?”

“First off, it’s Burk-bur-nett, and it’s 12 miles north of Wichita.”

“In Kansas?”

“No, it’s near Wichita Falls in TEXAS, by the Red River.”

“In the Panhandle?”

“No, three hours northeast of Dallas on the Oklahoma border.”

“Oh, I’ve never heard of it before.”

“I’m surprised because we had six district titles in 1990-91 with our football team going to state quarterfinals, and as 199192 started we were ranked fourth in the state. Our golf, tennis, and basketball teams went to regionals, and we had state and national academic champions in 1991.”

“Really?”

“Yes, and did I mention that the drill team took sweepstakes, and the newspaper and yearbook both earned national rec­ ognition? Also, our community won the state beautification award.”

“Well, it sounds like Burk-bur-nett is on the map.

“Yes, you could say that WE’VE ARRIVED!” -John Gillespie

When taking the SCENIC ROUTE, a car served not only as a mode of transportation, but also as a means of BEING SCENE. “I bought a Tercel because I feel goodSS/henj drive it,” Krissy Danielson, senior, said.

SCENE OF THE

CRIME When the bell rang for lunch and senior Dent Keltner went to his car, a male asked him for a ride to Pizza Hut. When Dent refused, the boy jumped in the car, pulled out a .25 calibur gun, and ordered him to drive to Wichita. “ He showed me the gun and its bullets and told me not to do anything stupid,” Dent said.

When they arrived in Wichita, the boy told Dent th a t th ey w ere g oing to make a “ connection” and then he would let Dent go back to school.

After a trip to the woods, in which Dent refused to get out of the car, they drove back into town. Dent then told the boy that he did not want to make the “ connection.” The boy dropped Dent off and gave him the clip to the gun, so that Dent would know that he was coming back. When the car left, Dent flagged down a truck, went to a gas station, and called the police. Within an hour, the police had the boy in custody, and Dent had his car back. “ Being held at gunpoint was scary,” Dent said, “ but, also very interesting.”

products from organiza­ tional fundraising booths.

As a p a rt o f th e ir “ Orlando or bust” fun­ draising effort, the drill team sold balloons before the game to be released at kick-off. “ The balloons weren’t expensive, but people r e a lly re s p o n d e d to them,” Susan Crum, jun­ ior drill team member said. “ We didn’t make much m o n e y o f f o f th e m , though.”

To raise money for the yearbook, Derrick staffers sold football programs at the gate for one dollar. “ Selling programs was not an easy job, especially since it got cold early,” Misty Park, senior Derrick member, said. “ Before the homecoming game, the wind came from nowhere and pelted us with dust.”

Who’s cuter Brandon or Dylan, or Kelly? Will Murphy have a girl or boy?

Whether it was “ Beverly Hills 90210,” “ Murphy Brown,” or “ L.A. Law,” favorite teen shows kept stu d e n ts busy asking questions.

With the uprising pop­ ularity of Fox 18, the prime tim e n e tw o rk s w e re forced to improve their programming.

To keep viewers watch­ ing, new story lines were created. A pregnancy on “ Murphy Brown” intro­ Brenda duced controversial top­ ics, while the once great “ L.A. Law” touched upon the topic of bisexuality with British attorney C.J. Lamb.

Consequently, by stick­ ing with its same old for­ mat NBC’s “ Cheers” still rated in the top two every week, while old stand-bys such as “ The C osby Show” lost popularity.

TEEN TV HIT ‘

90210’

When the “ Class of Beverly Hills High School” premiered in October 1990, it struggled in the Nielsen ratings against “ Cheers.” After changing its name to “ Beverly Hills 90210,” word of mouth helped to gradually make it most watched teen show.

Covering controversial topics such as teen sex, breast cancer, suicide, and teen pregnancy, “ 90210” succeeded in gathering a large audience. “ I really look forward to the show every Thursday,” senior Jodi Kahoe said, “ and if I’m not home I always tape it.”

Also adding to its popularity was the show’s teen cast. Members of the cast often adorned the covers of magazines, and the two male leads, Brandon and Dylan, became the newest teen idols.

With its unique story lines,“ 90210” kept students sitting on the edge of their seats for the next episode. -Penny Hutchison

Each pep rally centered on a theme, usually ac­ com panied by a s k it.

Themes included “ Knock Out the Huskies,” with the Bulldog mascot knocking out a Hirschi pup; and “ P o u r it on M in e ra l Wells,” with a rain theme.

The freshmen “ Rocked the Hawks,” the sopho­ m o re s “ T ie d Up th e H a w k s ,’ ’ th e ju n io rs “ Stomped the Hawks,” and the seniors “ Boxed the Hawks.”

BRAND NEW

BULLDOG Thanks to graduating class of 1991, a new Bulldog was seen at school functions through­ out the year.

Worn by mascot Nana Hutchison, the new meaner looking gray and black costume was designed by Nana’s father Bill Hutchison.

By using the pattern of last year’s Bulldog and pictures of different Bulldogs, Mr. Hutch­ ison created a totally new look for the Bulldog costume. “ Everybody seemed to love the new look of the Dog,” Nana Hutchison said. “ Some of the little kids were even scared of it.” -Penny Hutchison

“ It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flying Purple People Eater,” ‘‘Leader of the Pack vrooom, vroom,” ‘‘Under the Sea, oh under the sea,” and “ Pump up the Jam, yo pump it,” comprised the melody of sounds filling the gym dur­ ing the October 4 home­ coming pep rally.

Student Council select­ ed the theme, “ Pirates: Face the Music,” for the float competition.

J u d g in g th e flo a ts based on originality, beau­ ty, and difficulty were Mrs. Rose Yarmoski, Mrs. Bet­

ty P ru e tt, and M rs .

Charlene Lewis.

Taking first place, the Senior Class chose the song, “ Flying Purple Peo­ ple Eater” and built a sev­ en-foot monster stuffed with purple pomps, sport­ ing a yellow horn, and dis­ playing one eye with lash­ es. “ Since we were playing the Granbury Pirates on homecoming, we decided to do a spin-off of the song and build a flying Purple ’’PIRATE” Eater,” Senior Class president John Gillespie said.

As the football team ripped through the col­ orful banner, the crowd freed hundreds of color­ ful balloons to show sup­ port and to mark the beg in n in g of th e homecoming game fes­ tivities.

Traditionally, the jingle of bells could be heard in the stands as students walked with their home­ coming mums and gar­ ters. “ I think that buying mums and garters for y o u r b o y frie n d o r girlfiend is a really nice

tradition, and it gives us something to look for­ ward to,” Lisa Irwin, sen­ ior, said.

During halftime, while th e band p la y e d “ Unchained M e lo d y” and the drill team formed a background for the nominees, Grant Martin and M issy Greenway were crow ned home­ coming king and queen.

C o in c id e n ta lly , 30 years ago, in 1961, the BHS student body chose Grant’s mother, Sharon Nix Scott, as the home­ coming queen.

“ I was really happy to be chosen as k in g ,” Grant said. ‘‘Being cho­ sen 30 years after my mom was chosen queen made it that much more special.”

Each class was repre­ sented by its own prince and princess. The juniors chose Cade Griffis and Robin A rrington, who was also chosen last year as princess for her c la s s . S o p h o m o re s Shane M cW right and Jenny Elder both served their class for a second year, while Tiffany Elder

Ending these activities, the Bulldogs won their s e c o n d c o n s e c u tiv e homecoming game, beat­ ing the Granbury Pirates 40-6. -Penny Hutchison.

une, Ju ly, and Aug u s t.” An old adage states that these are the best rea­ sons fo r b e co m ing a te a c h e r. If so, te e n s proved that these were also important reasons for being a student.

Students took advan­ tage of their summer va­ cation in a variety of ways AT a variety of places: AT the lake, AT the beach, AT a summer job.

While summer was a

time of relaxing for some teens, others used the three months to find a job.

Since l“ m too busy to work during school,” sen­ ior Stephen Smith said, “ I used the summer to get a job with the city and save some money.”

Longing to be near the water during the hottest part of the year, students flocked to lakes, beaches, and water parks. “ I try to go to the beach and lake as much as I can,” junior Rachael Cole said. “ When it gets hot,

it’s a lot of fun to be in the cool water.”

As the summer came to a close, students were of­ ten reminded of the up­ co m in g s c h o o l ye a r.

Groups such as the foot­ ball team, drill team, and band started their activi­ ties before the summer even ended. * “ I always knew school was ready to start,” senior Scott Lewis said “ when I saw the football team practicing at the field.” Penny Hutchison

TOWN Should we go to a movie or eat out? What movie do we want to see? Where is the best place to eat? What time should we leave? Do we have enough money?

Whether the question was what to do or when to do it, couples had many decisions to make when going on a date.

Although many teens enjoyed eating at nice restaurants and dressing up for a date, some students enjoyed more casual datesgrabbing a burger and catching a movie at the dollar theater or eating a pizza at home. “ I don’t like dressing up,” junior Brandon Olds said. “ I’d rather be comfortable on a date.”

Movies have always been popular with teens, but, because of higher ticket rates and inflated popcorn prices, many teens opted to watch their favorites at home on video cas­ sette. “ It’s really cheaper to rent movies and you can pause it whenever you have to go do something else,” junior Rodney McCleskey said. -Penny Hutchison

school, most students be­ came players in the dating game. As freshmen, they usually dated around and played the field. The older the students were, the more serious the relation­ ships usually were.

Many students dated people who had already graduated. Unfortunately, trying to balance time betw e e n s c h o o l, w o rk , friends, and each other of­ ten caused problems. “ I spend so much time with my boyfriend, that I don’t see my friends very

much,” Jodi Kahoe, sen­ ior said.

Dating younger people was also common. Stu­ dents spent so much time with people of various ages that age differences were not usually noticed.

Because they preferred variety, some students dated more than one per­ son and tried not to get too serious about anyone. “ I get bored going out with one person,” senior Shawn Stilphen said, “ and it’s not any fun.” -Penny Hutchison

ow m uch is j I sacrificing a Fri1 1 day or Saturday night worth? For many teens in the work force, the answer is $4.25 an hour- minimum wage.

To afford cars, movies, dates, tapes many stu­ dents gave up their time to take a part-time job. “ I have to work because I’m about to start making car payments,” Brandon Olds, ju n io r W al-M art stockboy, said.

A fte r re c e iv in g tw o speeding tickets in three weeks her junior year,

Krissy Danielson, senior, began working at the Son­ ic. “ I really wanted to get a job,” Krissy said. “ And the tickets gave me the extra push to get one. I also hav e n ’ t g o tte n a tic k e t since.”

Balancing hom ework with their schedules often proved trying.

With a paper route and a job at Mazzio’s, Allison Padron, senior, especially found it difficult. “ My day starts at three in the morning,” Allison said. “ I have to do my

homework when I have extra time and when I’m off work.”

As a member of Dil­ la rd ’ s fa s h io n board, Katherine Wright finds her schedules vary from week to week. “ Som e w e e ks, I ’ ve woked up to 38 hours and others I haven’t worked any,” Katherine said.

Justin Daume, junior, doesn’t just work as a stockboy at Wal-Mart for the money. “ I like my job because it keeps me busy,” Justin said. -John Gillespie

hat time is it? Am I late?

What should I wear? Do I have a club meeting today? What is for breakfast?

As the alarm went off and students began to wake up and start their day, these questions often passed th ro u g h th e ir heads. “ I am not a morning p e rs o n ,” s e n io r Jo di Kahoe said, “ so I really have trouble getting up

and making it to school on time.”

With enrichment period at the beginning of the day, students often had to come early for club meet­ ings or make-up work. “ I never know when I am supposed to come early for club meetings,” Blake McClain, senior said. “ I always end up late for my meetings or I just don’t go.”

Fitting everything into their morning routines without being late was

also a problem for many students. They often sac­ rificed important things such as eating breakfast in order to make it to school on time. “ I always end up bring­ ing my breakfast with me and eating in the car,” senior Dawn Keltner said. “ I never have time to eat at home.”

Although students had to rush through the morn­ ing, they always found someway to ARRIVE at school. -Penny Hutchison

The Building Trades re­ modeling of the ISS build­ ing and the new fieldhouse was paid by the school board, while the headstart renovation was sponsored by the commu­ nity of Wichita Falls. “ Scholarship money is offered by many institutes su ch as T S T I T e ch School,” Mr. Allen said. “ The money is available to students who wish to pur­ sue a career in autobody.”

IRST PLAC Varsity captures district title with 5-0 record Winning district two years in a row was a great achievement. -Stephen Smith Dominating the district with an impressive six game winning streak, the varsity football team cap­ tured first place in district play. The winning streak included an important win over Wichita Falls and a 38-0 victory over Hirschi.

H e a d in g in to th e playoffs, the Bulldogs lost a c lo s e b a ttle to Stephenville. For the sec­

ond year in a row, they stopped the varsity team’s hope for a state champi­ onship. “ After our pre-district loss to Stephenville, we started to work together as a team,” Dave Shackieton, se nior lineman, said. “ Team w ork and dedication is what got our second district champion­ ship.”

The Bulldogs began the season w ith tw o wins w hich im p ro ve d th e ir ranking to number three in state. “ It was a great feeling being this successful,” Brad Glasscock, varsity member, said. “ We prac­ ticed hard, and I’m looking forward to doing it again next year.” -Blake Me* Clain

The Bulldogs shut out three teams; Hirschi, Azle, and Vernon, who forfeited the Dogs first win. The JV team continued their win­ ning season from their freshman year. “ The main reason for

The junior varsity team had an even season with a

So far, the young boys’ team has posted a second place victory at Sugar Tree this fall. The team said that they hope to stay together, like the girls, for excellent results in the fu­ ture.

Sm ooth greens and everyday practices help

improve the golfers’ con­ fidence and lower scores by a few strokes for up­ coming tournaments, ac­ cording to Coach Ron Mill­ er. “ Through patience and determination, the teams have a definite chance of going all the way to state,” sophomore varsity com­ petitor Eric Wynn said. Scott Lewis

Also, the team finished the Fort Worth tournament by winning the consolation bracket. “ It was a disappointing season because we didn’t play up to our potential,” Daniel Blue, senior for­ ward, said. "All in all it was a fun year through all of the highs and lows.” Scott Lewis

OURTH PLAC Varsity Ladies’ basketball team lacks experience It could have easily gone the other way.

Melissa Gongaware The Varsity Lady Bull­ dogs fell into a five game losing streak in district basketball play to give them a 2-8 district record.

The team’s finish overall was 12-20.

Although the record wasn’t up to par, the team did place third in the Fan­ tasy of Lights tournament in Wichita Falls and placed fourth in the Vernon tour­

nament. Senior forward Melissa Gongaware was named the Most Valuable Player in the Fantasy of Lights tourney. “ Before district started, we knew the season was going to be tough and our inexperience showed by losing our games by just a few points,” Gongaware said. ” It could have easily gone the other way.”

RACK TEA Members race on new surface; Frosh sign up Competing in the state track meet was a thrill! Even though I did not place, the experience was well worth it. -Miller Spessard With a newly resurfaced track, the boys’ and girls’ track teams began prac­ ticing in early February.

With only seven return­ ing runners, the g irls ’ team had 44 members, 25 of these being freshmen.

The boys’ team had 15 returning members, while the other 20 runners were freshmen.

Last year’s 800 meter relay team consisting of

Kelly Francis, Jenny Hunsacker, Toya Mackey, and Kasey Johnson placed first in district. Jody Logan added another first place district finish with the dis­ cus.

The boys’ track team came in first place at dis­ trict last year, while finish­ ing third place at regionals. Individually, Brian Hicks qualified for regionais in the 100 meter dash,

long jump, and the triple jum p. M iller Spessard w ent to sta te fo r the s h o tp u t and Thalm us Prejean for the high hur­ dles.

Finishing second in

the 800 meter dash at district allowed Karla to compete at regionals her freshman year. ‘‘Cross country is dif­ ferent than track be­ cause the course is al­ ways changing,” Karla said. “ You don’t just run around in circles.”

Karla competed at the regional level all

four years. As a senior she advanced to state, where she placed in the top half. “ Karla proved that with a little talent and lot of hard work you can achieve your goals,” Coach M cG ill said. “ She a lw a y s gave 100%.” -Misty Park

OCCER TEA Varsity, JV play tough competition .\

\ j

The team played more as a unit and became more creative with their skills -Coach Martin Metcalf Improving their soccer skills, the JV and Varsity s o c c e r team s played tough competition in dis­ trict. “ The most outstanding efforts were shown by Bri­ an Chamberlain, Matt Car­ ter, Chad Antwine, Dent Keltner, and Miller Spessard,” Coach Martin Met­ calf said. “ I feel the lead­ ership of these players

was very significant.”

The soccer team com­ peted in two tournaments at the beginning of the year. In the Denton tour­ nament, the team ad­ vanced to the winners bracket, but were unable to finish the tournament because of weather con­ ditions. The second tour­ nament was held in Ab­ ilene, where the team

placed third. “ Our skills have proven to be very productive for u s ,” v a rs ity m em ber Rusty Thomas said.

Last year, Haltom, Richla n d , K e lle r, and Weatherford were added to the district, making the competition tougher for the soccer team. -Amy Beeman and Susan Crum

MONEY: reparing students to accept their re­ sponsibilities is a co m m o n goal shared by the DECA and VICA organizations.

Although the club DECA had been inactive for a while, it has been reorga­ nized and is becoming a stronger club.

DECA, sponsored by Mrs. Beverly Lee, is an or­ ganization that helps stu­ dents find jobs outside of school.

For the UIL marching contest, the band received a II. The judges rate on a scale from I to IV, where I is the best. They compete in two marching contests a year.

“ This year we had sev­ en members make all­ district band, two made regional band, and one for area ban d ,” a ssistant band director, Mr. Mark Cartwright said.

Band is offered as a high school elective to prepare students for fu­ ture music careers or give students who like music a chance to enjoy perform­ ing in front of a crowd. “ I plan on becoming a professional horn player for the Boston Philhar­ m onic O rchestra, and band helps prepare me for this,” Tamara Welch said.

Members of the band take part in competition

every year. This compe­ tition prepares them for next year, and helps them gain more experience, ac­ cording to Mr. Cartwright.

Although practice doesn’t begin until football season ends, students prepare for contest all year long. “ I like competing,” Col­ le e n M o o re s a id , “ because it gives me a chance to see how good I am compared to other stu­ dents.” -Amy Beeman

During football season the drill team performed halftime routines, includ­ ing “ Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” “ Can Can,” and “ A S a lu te to A m e r ic a ’ s Finest.”

The end of football sea­ son brought contest sea­ son, where the drill team practiced twice a week on their dances in prepara­ tion for competition in Fort Worth, and Orlando, Flor­ ida.

Needing $30,000 to tra ve l to W alt Disney World for their competi­ tion, the Babes raised funds through raffle tick­ ets, a Mexican dinner, a

garage sale, a jamboree, a carwash, a barbecue, a country western dance, and n u m e ro u s o th e r events, which helped each girl reach her $498 goal.

The routines performed at c o n te s t in c lu d e d : “ States Medley,” a high kick routine; “ The Wed­ ding,” a novelty routine; and “ Long Tall Texan,” a prop routine.

The drill team traveled to Fort Worth in February, and then to Florida on March 12, where they were given the opportuni­ ty to compete nationally as well as explore Walt Disney W orld. -Susan Crum

ach year the senior student who excels the most in a particular subject is selected by the department as a Derrick Who’s Who. “Who’s Who is a prestigious award be­ cause it’s selected by faculty members who look at the students’ work throughout their high school years,” Mrs. Anne Gillespie, Derrick staff sponsor, said.

The 17 outstanding students selected to receive a Who’s Who award met the criteria of a 3.0 or better average in the depart­ ment, good citizenship, ability to work well with others, and enthusiasm for the sub­ ject.

This year’s Who’s Who recipients plan to attend such colleges as MSU, Texas A&M, Southwestern University, Washington State University, Baylor, Colorado State University, St. Olaf’s College, Rice Univer­ sity, and Texas Tech.

These students are planning various ma­ jors which include accounting, theater arts, business management, biochemistry, pre­ law, journalism, mass communications, po­ litical science, psychology, elementary ed­ ucation, architecture, pre-medicine, and mechanical engineering. -Krissy Danielson

Gillespie receives Bloodworth Award As the fifth recipient of the Feme Bloodworth journalism spirit award, yearbook editor John Gillespie has exhibited a competitive journalism spirit for four years.

Serving as a leader on both yearbook and newspaper, he has won state and national awards for feature, editorial, headline and column writing.

Winning the Current Events UIL team state gold medal and silver individual medal were two of his greatest accomplish­ ments.

This spirit award which was established in loving memory of the former award winning jour­ nalism teacher, who died in a 1987 plane crash, annually hon­ ors a senior who has shown outstanding dedication, ser­

vice, and loyalty in high school publications.

John’s drive for success has been compared to Feme Blood­ worth who introduced his par­ ents in 1971 after she met his mother at a summer journalism workshop in San Antonio. “ John is similar to Feme be­ cause he is so self-motivated with a love for reading, writing, speaking, debating, and travel­ ing,” Mrs. Anne Gillespie, his mother and journalism teacher, said.

Besides his many writing awards, he served as state In­ terscholastic League Press Conference president and was nominated Texas Association of Journalism Educator’s Jour­ n a list of the Year. Krissy Danielson

hile most teenagers spend most of their spare time driving or riding in autom obiles, Jason Acheson spends a majority of his time bike racing.

Jason first began his unique hobby of bike racing eight years ago at the age of 10. “ I was at a picnic and racers rode through the park,” Jason said. “ I found out about it by accident.”

Jason now races for a team called Team Outlaw. The compe­ titions he participates in consist of various jumps and obstacles. Ja­ son has received numerous tro­ phies and placed third in the Sum­ mer Nationals. These winnings have ranked him fifth in the state.

Preparation is a key factor of bike racing. Jason spends a lot of time practicing after school. “ I built jumps in the field behind my house to practice on,” Jason said. “ I usually ride everyday and race about twice a month.”

Competitions have enabled Ja­ son to travel to various cities such as Tulsa, Dallas, Fort Worth, Okla­ homa City, and El Paso.

Certain equipment and clothing are required when racing. Besides a BMX bicycle, racers must have a helmet. They are also required to wear a long sleeve shirt with el­ bow pads and long pants which come below the knees with knee pads. Racers must also be mem­ bers of the American Bicycle A s-

Besides bike racing, Jason en­ joys drawing and playing basket­ ball in his spare time.

Jason hopes to attend the Uni­ versity of Michigan where he plans to major in business. “ I’d like to open my own bicycle busi­ ness one day,” Jason said. Krissy Danielson

BAND

Laura Ducos conducts the band as drum major. aving participated in band all throughout high school, Laura Ducos leads the band as drum major.

Laura has been playing the clar­ inet since the fifth grade. “ Everyone was playing the flute, and it was associated as a girl’s instrument,” Laura said. “ I chose to play the clarinet because I wanted to be different.”

To become drum major, Laura had to pretend to direct a band to a marching song as if she were at a performance. She also had to correctly answer questions asked by the band directors. During the summer she attended a week long drum major camp where she learned how to direct and give commands. “ It was the most fun i’d had in ages,” Laura said. “ I didn’t want to come home.”

As drum major, Laura directed the band at football games and marching competitions. Although her position brings with it much responsibility, she still finds her­ self excited just before a perfor­ mance.

Outside of band, Laura partic­ ipates in a variety of activities. She is a member of Student Council and the French Club. In her spare time she enjoys reading, listening to music, and playing tennis with her dad.

Laura plans to attend Texas A&M and major in communica­ tions. “ I’d like to be the next

anchorwoman for KSAT News in San Antonio,” Laura said.

She plans to pursue her musical interest in college by participationg in pep bands.

As a senior, Laura has her fu­ ture basically mapped out. In 10 years she sees herself as an A&M graduate living a stable life and driving a BMW. “ Knowing Fate, I’ll probably be married,” Laura said with a laugh.

PRESSURE College preparations create stress for seniors. ollege applications, the SAT, and the ACT are just a few of the stress causing items that seniors face before graduation. Last De­ cember seniors began feeling the pressures of doing well on tests, filling out college applications, and getting accepted.

The thought of college had many s tu d e n ts w o rrie d and scared in a variety of ways. “ I’m scared that I won’t live up to my parents’ expectations,” Ja­ son Acheson said.

Shane White’s biggest fear was being singled out in a large college class and having to answer a question. “ I’m worried about getting up on time,” Eric Bates said. “ If it weren’t for my mom, I wouldn’t make it to school now.”

Most students agreed that col­ lege would be tougher than high school, and that more responsi­ bility would be placed on the stu­ dents. “ It won’t be one on one,” Yulanda Worth said. “ Teachers won’t work with us independent­ ly.”

Those students planning to at­ tend college were thinking of fur­ thering their education and pre-

MUSIC

Bernadette Neumann practices the violin six hours a day. aving been interested in music since elementary school, Berna­ dette Neumann now dem on­ strates her musical talent by play­ ing the violin.

Bernadette began playing music in the fourth grade. “ As a new student at school, I was desperate to get into a new activity,” Ber­ nadette said. “ I couldn’t play the flute, so I switched to a strings instrument. I tried fiddling, but it didn’t really work out.”

Although Bernadette enjoyed playing music, it was her junior high orchestra teacher who in­ spired her to pursue her musical interest. “ He got me into the dif­ ferent programs which helped my playing skills improve,” Berna­ dette said.

Ordinarily, she practices for one and a half hours a day. If she is preparing for an audition, she practices for at least six hours a day.

Being involved in music for sev­ en years, Bernadette has had many opportunities for interesting experiences. The funniest one that she remembers happened when she was in junior high in Fairbanks, Alaska. “ My stand partner and I were in the middle of a performance,” she said. “ Our second page of music was upside down and we started playing it that way.

Say cheese. Click. Thank you, who’s next?

To start off their senior year, students were contacted by mail during the summer and assigned a date to have their senior portraits made. Those students who want­ ed to possibly purchase pictures were asked to pay a $10 deposit.

In addition to the traditional drape and tux poses, a variety of casual shots were taken. Among the casual poses were an upper body portrait with a mini blind background and an upper body with a solid color background.

Another pose which included a gray background allowed the stu­ dents to have a full view portrait taken. “ I liked the full body pose the best because it didn’t just show my face,” Alicia Romine said.

A white background was also used. The students were required to wear a white long sleeve dress shirt. ‘‘I didn’t like the all white shot,” Kari Oram said. “ It made me look sick.”

A favorite pose among seniors was the cap and gown. “ It made me feel like I had already grad­ uated,” Tommy Arens said.

Looking good in senior portraits is a must, so the process of pre­ paring for the pictures can be time consuming. Including the time it took for her to curl her hair and fix

Most seniors agreed that their senior portraits were the most im­ portant of all their high school pic­ tures. “ It’s our last year of high school,” Kari Oram said. “ They’re supposed to be something we can show off.” -Krissy Danielson

Stephen became interested in playing sports when he was about nine years old and he began play­ ing in the summer. “ During the summer my Uncle David and I would play football and baseball,” Stephen said. “ We’d switch back and forth de­ pending on which day it was.”

Stephen has received numer­ ous athletic awards and honors throughout high school. During his junior year he was named All Dis­ trict pitcher. He was also named Honorable Mention All District quarterback, Honorable Mention All State quarterback, and Red River 22 Offensive MVP. In his spare time Stephen en­ joys fishing, hunting, golf, basket­ ball, and just spending time with the guys and his girlfriend. He is also a member of Student Council and FCA.

AMBITION

Jennifer Williams competes in Miss Teen Texas pageant.

Ithough Jennifer Williams stays active in school as a member of the drill team, Student Council, and BPA, she finds time to en­ ter and compete in teen pag­ eants. “ I enjoy meeting all the peo­ ple,” Jennifer said.

The pageants consist of the swimsuit, evening gown, and talent categories and a private interview with the judges.

In July Jennifer won the Miss Teen Wichita Falls pageant and received a $100 scholarship.

She then competed for the Miss Teen Texas title.

When preparing for the Miss Teen Wichita Falls pageant, Jennifer did aerobics, modeled, and practiced her jazz and tap talent routine for an hour each every day for a month.

The most embarrassing mo­ ment that Jennifer remembers happened during the Miss Teen Mineral Wells pageant. “ I forgot my speech,” Jennifer said. “ I had to make something up.”

Tracy has been playing softball for 10 years, vol­ leyball for three years, basketball for nine years, and has been throwing shot and discus in track for two years. “ My favorite is basket­ ball because that’s the sport I have the most ex­ perience in,” Tracy said.

In basketball Tracy has won the title of free-throw champ, and three on three champ. “ My favorite sport to watch is baseball,” Tracy said. “ And my favorite player is Ozzy Smith of the St. Louis Cardinals.”

Sports takes up most of T r a c y ’ s time during school, so she’s not very active in other school ac­ tivities, but she does find time to attend church on Sundays. She also likes to go out with her friends and hang out at the mall. “ The person who has had the most influence over me would have to be Coach Koulovatas,” Tracy said. “ He’s nice, and he’s always there to talk to.

He’s just like a teenager at times.”

SPORTS Theresa Land spends her time playing several sports.

a ^ ^ — a■

inding time to play sports doesn’t create a problem for Theresa Land, who is active in basketball, soft­ ball, volleyball, golf, and track.

Theresa has played her favorite sport, basketball, the longest. Her favorite pro-team is the Chicago Bulls because she enjoys watching Michael Jordan.

However, Bo Jackson is her overall most admired athelete.

Because injuries are as­ sociated with most sports, Theresa has suffered two twisted ankles, and a knee problem. “ My right ankle took the longest to heal, but I was able to continue playing about a month lat­ er,” she said.

Theresa has received many awards, some are most valuable player, high scorer, free-throw champ, and hot shot.

Over the summer The­ resa spends much of her time in basketball camps.

She has been to Jerry Jobe for two years, high school summer camp for two years, and she went to TCU last summer. She has also attended a vol-

leyball camp at MSU for two years.

Theresa hopes to win a scholarship for track, and would like to go to Baylor.

After college she plans to make a career out of track. “ My parents have the most influence on me,” she said, “ because of all the help and support they have given me.” -Amy Beeman

“Everybody has heard of B u i1 d )u m e 3 m H ^ ^ H r a ||^ Interscholastic League academic team wofflthe regional cham­ pionship for the first time; the Boomtown Babes won second in a national dance contest at Disney World; and the football team won district.”

COLOPHON During the summer of 1991, six yearbook sta ff members brain­ stormed at the Taylor Publishing Yearbook Workshop at Midwestern State University to create a unifying theme and a graphic logo for the yearbook. Inspired by the stamp used on the teen hit, -‘Beverly Hills 90210,” the staff created a similar logo. As a result of the 1990-1991 year and the coverage and recog­ nition the school received, the staff decided that people across the state began to understand Burkburnett’s location. Using this concept, they developed the theme, "W e’ve Ar­ rived.” At the Taylor Workshop, the staff competed against other area schools to win the sweepstakes award for the best theme package.

Four staffers also attended the Glo­ ria Shield’s All-American workshop in Dallas during July. In a workshop

directed by yearbook garu, Judi Coolidge of Ohio, the editors de­ cided to adapt six spin-off’s of the cover, one for each section of the book. This followed a new yearbook trend of designing each section around its own graphic and theme idea. Editors Penny Hutchinson and John Gillespie designed the section logos and Mrs. Exa Cunningham created the computer artwork.

Volume 52 of the Burkburnett High School Derrick was published

by Taylor Publishing Company of Dallas, Texas. This yearbook was under the supervision of Mrs. Anne Gillespie and Taylor representative Mr. Waiter Adams. Copy was placed on the Typevision computer soft­ ware system.

The 7% x 10V2 book contained 192 pages with an 8 page four color tip-in. The cover was an embossed

cover design with a 4-color process; the pages were 80 weight enamel paper. The type was Geneva, with headlines set in 30-pt., the body co­ py set in 10-pt., and captions in 8-pt.

Six hundred and fifty books were sold at $27 with the option of personalization for $30. The production cost was estimated at $20,608.70.

Olan Mills of Fort Worth, Texas, photographed the seniors for the Derrick. The other class pictures were taken by Mike King Photog­ raphy of Commerce, Texas. The student body fold-out was taken by Mike Lowe.

The Derrick belongs to the Inter­ scholastic League Press Confer­ ence, the Columbia Scholastic Press Conference, the Texas High School Press Conference, and Quill and Scroll.
