eviving old styles mingled with new images and attitudes, students moved back and forth throughout the school year.

Dubbed by The Wall Street Journal as the “ Next Baby Boom,” students catego­ rized as 18 and younger, diverse in aspects such as race, living arrangements and so­ cioeconomic class, and who think their parents ‘cool,’ (at least by their clothing standards) broke free of “ Generation X ” and the “ Baby Boomers” with their newly defined back and forth views. “ The fact that so many kids are rever­ ting back to old-fashioned styles and ideas just proves that history does repeat itself,” junior Lauren Dixon said. “ Maybe one day we’ll be able to look back and laugh at the fact that we turned into our parents.”

Purple proved a hot color for ’97, popping up in clothing, makeup and cars.

Orange also dominated the school year with former student Coach Charles Hicks reviving orange football uniforms for the first time since the ’70s, making ’97 the year of orange for the school.

Upholding ongoing tradition, PALS con­ tinued their support for the Hotter ’N Hell Hundred, refreshing competitors, while the band, helped by chemistry teacher and former student Mrs. Pam Francis, brought forth a past fad by dangling red tongues from larger instruments.

Whether in pursuit of self-definition, or entwinement in the retro fads, sights and colors of the ’90s, the ‘Burk Bunch’ moved back and forth in an effort to survive ’97 and accomplish past, present and future goals. — Laura Lemke

Past and Present

m

ana oing back to school brought visions of the past into present times with ^ ^ n e w activities, challenges and events, allowing students to express their ndividulality.

Keeping disco alive, Student Council sponsored a Women’s Liberation/’70s Day and Dance that brought bell-bottoms, poly­ ester and hippie-style clothing out from the past. With ’70s style outfits mixed with a 90s retro twist, many students expressed :hemselves with past and present looks.

As seniors put past times behind them and turned forward to college and careers, freshmen were the happy new faces on campus.

Homecoming floats proved sights from the past, depicting the movies “ Grease,” “ Star Wars,” “ Wizard of Oz,” and “ Peter Pan.” Following a national trend, faculty mem­ bers, led by DECA sponsor Ms. Beverly

Lee, brought a past line dance into the present w ith th eir rendition of the “ Macarena” during one of the pep rallies.

The hit song/dance sprang up nation-wide with school faculty competitons, ap­ pearances on national sporting events, and even at such corporations as Wal Mart. “ It was a lot of fun witnessing the trends reappearing,” Lee said. “ We all got a big kick out of the ‘Macarena.’ It showed the students our humorous side, even though we knew we looked ridiculous!”

Outside school, some students and facul­ ty alike attended the Centennial Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, while other students watched on their TVs as the Uni­ ted States won over 100 medals.

Overall, past and present events and styles of the school and nation dominated ’97 making it a permanent addition to stu­ dent life. -Kristel Polder and Laura Lemke DANCING THE MACARENA, the faculty choir performed at the Vernon pep rally.

ilkin’ it

W hile traveling the world as a foreign exchang student, senior LU K ASZ LITW INIUK drinks mil] to stay healthy on his journey.

As we move forward into the next century, many things have changed but one fact remains the same. We all need an ample amount of calcium for our bones.

However, nine out of ten teenagers do not drink enough milk to get the minimum amount o f calcium recomended.

If this is because regular white milk is too boring for your taste, try adding two tablespoons of orange juice concentrate and a half tablespoon of vanilla extract, or make a cup of steamy cappuccino for a change.

Maybe you think milk is w ay too fattening for your diet. Just pour yourself a glass of nonfat or lowfat skim milk, which has all of the nutrients of whole milk.

To learn more about that healthy white stuff, visit the Milk Website at http://www.whymilk.com, or check out a classic episode o f “ The Brady Bunch” in which Mrs. Brady explains the benefits of milk-drinking to her children. -Audrey Smith

As an active varsity baseball player, junior B.J. ROBERTS drinks milk to obtain his daily serving of nine essential vitamins and minerals.

and

ontributing to the ups and downs of a student’s life, academics brought forth enriching projects, essays and •aditional knowledge of core curriculum Durses such as science, math, English, istory and foreign language.

To take one’s education a step further, dvanced Placement courses such as AP S History, AP Spanish IV and Honors reative Writing were all added to existing P classes to make ’97 a more challenging ear. “ I had already taken US History before,” enior Aleen Pfeffer said. “ But I decided to ike AP US History my senior year so that I Duld earn college credit.”

Teachers found ways to spice up classes y going on field trips and plays. Checking le dissolved oxygen levels of the water, le AP Biology II class traveled to Wild torse Creek once a month and even monored streams in the Wichita Mountains.

Spanish classes attended a play in Fort Worth and Mrs. Scharlach’s classes visited an area hospital.

While students were up about the field trips and labs, they were down about se­ mester test exemptions no longer being al­ lowed. “ A junior or senior really used to look forward to semester test exemptions,” sen­ ior Christi Sauceda said. ‘‘It won’t be any fun studying for them, but at least we’ll be better prepared for college.”

A new UIL science team was also esta­ blished to compete in the spring with the other UIL events such as journalism, math, debate and public speaking.

Whether calculating problems, writing essays or completing a chemical reaction in lab, students experienced the ups and downs of learning and gaining from the traditional retro classes of the past with a modern ’90s twist. -Kristel Polder G O IN G B A C K TO s c h o o l “ Elvis” was sighted studying in Mrs. Conni Marshall’s Peri­ od 5 Principles of Technology class.

Honors/AP Classes

W ith the addition of n e w a d v a n c ed p la c e ­ ment (AP) and honors classes, students gained more opportunities for a c a d e m ic s u c ce ss in preparing for college.

Honors Creative W rit­ ing, A P U.S. H istory, and A P Spanish IV were among those that were added to the continu­ ously lengthening list of a d va n ced cou rses, which also included ad­ vanced English, math, science and social stud­ ies classes. “ By taking advanced cla sses, stu d en ts ac­ quire the skills they w ill need to succeed in col­ lege,” Mr. Jim Sternadel said. “ They learn what to expect in college and what will be expected of

them .”

Upon completion of an A P class, students may choose to take an AP ex­ am. By passing the ex­ am with a score of 3 or higher, they earn up to three hours o f college credit.

In addition to college credit, advanced cour­ ses generally offer smal­ ler class sizes and more diverse activities. “ A P U.S. H istory is c h a lle n g in g bu t w e learn a lot, and w ith only eight people, it’s a great atmosphere,” ju n­ ior Robert Woods said.

Reading from college texts, w riting research papers, examining mass media sources and even t r a v e l i n g to fo r e ig n countries are all learn­

ing devices used in ad­ vanced courses. “ In A P Spanish IV, we ta lk a b o u t c u rr e n t events, watch the Span­ ish C h a n n el and are planning a trip to Mexi­ co in J u n e ,” s e n io r Heather Hoppe said.

Though extra hours o u ts id e o f c la s s and even sum m er reading was required for some, most students felt that the effort put into ad­ vanced classes pays off. “ Even though I have more work to do, I think it w ill be worth it in the long run because I will be more prepared for the c o lle g e ,” ju n io r Staci C a rter said. -D eanne Van Slyke.

A i r i e r - Students gain skills . while earning money

Stu dents from Mrs. W anda Sm ith’s coopera­ tive learning class are allowed to help teachers an d a d m in is tr a to r s w h ile e a r n in g p a y.

Rather than being pla­ ced in an off-cam pus jo b , s tu d e n ts in th e work program are em­ ployed at the school as office aides.

In the attendance of­ f i c e , s e n io r s M a r la H elm s and S tephan ie Brogdon kept track o f t a r d ie s a n d e n te r e d them into the computer, re c o rd e d a tte n d a n c e cards and counted ex­ tracurricular absences.

T h e y also helped an­ swer phones, typed let­ ters, and performed any other task assigned to them.

“ W orking in the office helps p rep a re me fo r secretarial and organi­ zational skills,’ ’ Helms said.

Mrs. Debbie Smith, at­ te n d a n c e s u p e r v is o r found her office aides eased the transition to her new position. “ As a new person, of­ fic e w o rk e rs p erfo rm tasks there isn’t enough time to do,” Smith said. “ Being my first year he­ re, the office helpers are a grea t a ssista n ce to m e.”

Another place of em­ ploym ent for students was the Office Link Lab. S teph an ie H en ry and Kim Quillin spent time there. Th ey helped by answering and transfer­ ring phone calls, perfor­

m in g com puter w ork, and shut down all equip­ ment necessary before they were placed on the job. “ I was trained before being chosen and had ta k e c o m p u te r co u r­ ses,” Quillin said. “ I re­ ally liked it and was in­ v ite d to w o rk in th e Office Link Lab.” Office education cour­ ses required for this po­ sitio n p resen ted stu­ dents with the chance to learn about office man­ agement skills, princi­ ples of banking and fi­ nancial institutions and b a sic o ffic e ta s k s to tra in students before placing them on the job sight. — Carolyn Brad­ shaw

English teachers ad­ ded activities involving “ Rom eo and J u lie t,” “ Ju liu s C a e s a r” and Greek mythology. Stu­ dents were assigned an­ ything from creating art w ork to w ritin g th eir own myth. “ W r itin g a G reek m yth is fun; it ch al­ lenges us to create a sto­ ry from scratch,” senior Edward Sowards said. “ The most enjoyable as­ pect is the time we can spend with a friend try­ ing to create the perfect tale and meet impossi­ 36

History classes’ pro­ jects included designing Russian Cyrillics, build­ ing Egyptian pyramids and p erfo rm in g m ock tria ls from h is to ric a l events.

Math classes enhance skills

W hether it was alge­ bra or calculus, honors or regular, math classes provided a challenge for many students.

Various courses were available to fu lfill the three years o f required math credits. Algebra I, Algebra II, geometry, in­ form al geometry, com­ p u te r m a th , p re­ calculus and calculus were among the courses s tu d e n ts s e le c te d to strengthen their mathe­ matical skills.

Usually the beginning le v e l o f h ig h s c h o o l math is Algebra I or A l­ gebra I Year 1, although many students take A l­ gebra I in the eighth gra­ des and begin their high school years with either Algebra II or Geometry I.

“ I chose to take Alge­ bra I in eighth grade so I would have more oppor­ tunities to take four or even five years of math in high school,” junior Brad Greenway said.

Students in Algebra I or A lg e b ra II cou rses s tu d ie d lin e a r eq u a ­ tions, inequalities, word p r o b le m s , fa c t o r in g , fu n ction s, system s o f eq u a tion s and op era­ tions with radicals.

G e o m e t r y h e lp e d stimulate creative and lo g ic a l th o u g h t p ro ­ cesses and develop rea­ soning by using defini­ tions and proofs.

F o r s tu d e n ts w h o wished to extend their study o f m athem atics beyond the high school re q u ir e m e n t, P r e -A P

and regular pre-calculus and A P Calculus were offered. These courses involved a study o f func­ tions, properties of lim­ its, trig o n o m etry and techniques o f integra­ tion and were designed to prepare students for college. “ I took pre-calculus because it is challenging and I think it w ill give me th e backgrou n d I need for college math,” senior Daniel Lobaugh said.

G uest sp ea k er, Mr. Douglas Miller of Career Directions, gave a pres­ entation during history classes.

Mr. Miller, who was sponsored by the Arm y National Guard, said the idea is to help students get real world of college, the w ork force or the military. “ An advantage of the program is that people are apprehensive about getting a job and don’t know w hat em ployers are expecting and how to react in a work envi­ ronment,’ ’ Mr. Miller sa­ id. “ This presentation may help them.”

Students were given sample job applications

and tips on how to avoid “ application traps.” “ I am glad I had the opportunity to fill out an application, because I have never filled one out b e fo r e ,” sop h om ore Bethany W eaver said.

Students had to dress appropriately for a job, as though they were ap­ plying for a job position in a multi-million dollar co m p a n y. M r. M ille r gave examples and why some outfits w ere not appropriate. “ I am glad to know what to wear to impress an e m p lo y e r,” ju n io r Wendy W ilcox said.

Mr. Miller chose an in­ t e r v ie w e r fro m each class. They would be the

head of the hiring and were referred to as Mr. or Mrs. Megabucks. The chosen student had a s e c r e ta r y and ask ed com m only used ques­ tions during an inter­ view.

Wins and Losses

oing back and forth from retro traditions and happenin’ new beginnings, Bulldog athletes put skill, •actice and heart into each game, match, und or meet. Enduring both wins and sses, the Dogs celebrated their proud ist but looked forward to a promising fuire.

Several changes including a new football >ach and uniforms dominated the year, rhe Dogs and Hicks in ’96” brought new Dpes as Coach Charles Hicks, who played irsity football at Burk in ’68 set new andards and boosted Dog pride.

With a team ranked second in the state, s no surprise that Coach Danny Nix, the iw athletic director, played basketball for ie Dogs in ’73 and keeps a winning tradiDn alive. ‘‘Coach Nix is an excellent coach beiuse he constantly encourages us to do ir best and never give up,” senior guard

Brian Palmertree said. “ It’s been great working with him these past few years.”

The tennis team qualified for regionals in the fall, displaying their accomplish­ ments with a record of 4 to 1 in district fall play. They held tight and fought with high hopes for spring competition.

The Lady Dogs basketball and softball teams set winning goals in ’97, after bi­ district titles and a ninth ranking in state from the ’96 season. ‘ ‘With only one returning starter the basketball team was under a lot of pres­ sure,” junior Rachele Miller said.

Becoming the first girls’ golf team to compete at state, the Dogs garnered a fifth place ranking in ’96, hoping to go again in ’97.

Whatever the sport, the Bulldogs com­ bined future expectations with far-out ac­ complishments and posted the wins and losses of a groovy team. -Kristel Polder IN THE TRADITION after the game unifying circle, Coach Charles Hicks gives the Dogs a pep talk after they lost to Lanc a s t e r 3 5 -1 4 . * P h o t o b y Amanda Mahler

COACH HICKS IN ’96 Dogs trample local rivals, shut out Huskies W ith new head foot­ b a l l c o a c h C h a r le s Hicks, the football team brought on a “ new be­ ginning.” The “ new be­ g in n in g ” consisted o f coaching and uniforms. “ Our n ew uniform s gave us a professional look and a new attitude to w a rd th e s e a s o n ,” senior Matt McCleskey said.

Coach Hicks was vot­ ed into the head coach position in May of 1996.

The football team used the theme “ Coach Hicks in ’96” to describe the “ new begin n in gs” for the team. “ The team worked to­

gether to reach for the 52-14 Hirschi victory,” senior Cameron Corneli­ us said. “ It was exciting after being defeated by Sherman.”

Although much of the season was in turmoil, the team stuck together and defeated W ic h ita Falls and Hirschi. The Bulldogs concluded the season with a 2-7 finish and a 5-2 district finish. “ In time, the coaching change w ill bring about m any good th in gs for the team ,” senior Ben Coker said. “ The pro­ gram hcis a very promis­ ing future in store for it.” — Am ber Holland

With juniors preparing for prom and sophomores for the TAAS and impending driving tests, the youngest members of the Burk Bunch embraced the changes of high school life and its tougher AP classes and variety of electives.

Departments recognize seniors for academic prowess, commitment

“ Marian possesses a keen, analytical mind which enables her to see the logic and beauty of mathematics. Marian is a joy to teach because of her innate desire to excel in all that she does.”

Lee Seman

During each academic year, school departments seleet one senior who excells in a particular subject. The student is named as a Derrick W ho’s Who. “ W h o ’s Who is a prestigious award because it’s selected by faculty members \\ho look at the student *s work throughout the high school years,” said Derrick Staff sponsor Mrs. Anne Gillespie.

The 16 outstanding students selected to receive a

W ho’s Who award met the criteria of a 3.0 or better average in selected departments, good citizenship, the ability to cooperate with fellow students, and enthusi­ asm for the subject.

W ho’s Who recipients plan to attend such colleges as, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, TCU, and Midwestern Slate University. They have a broad spectrum of col­ lege majors among them, and varying career goals.

The knowledge that these individuals illustrate, their talent in their subject area and ability to cooper­ ate effectively w ill garnish them success in their fu­ ture attempts, according to their teachers. -Deanne

Patty favors baseball, balances four sports It’s not hard to see w hy finding time for school work and sports is not always easy for freshman Brian Patty.

Patty plays football, base­ ball, b a sk etb a ll and runs track. He also manages to keep his grades up.

Out of all his sports, Patty’s favorite is baseball.

Along with participating in sports, Patty strives to put forth his best in the class­ room as w ell. His favorite class remains Physical Sci­ ence. “ Brian Patty is a good stu­

dent and a very good work­ er,” Coach Cely said.

Playing sports and keeping up grades is sometimes diffi­ cult for Patty because of the amount of time it requires. “ Sometimes I have to cut down on the time I spend with my friends so that I can con cen trate on m y school w ork,” Patty said.

In the future Patty would like to attend the University of Texas where he hopes to play baseball for the Long­ horns. -Jennifer McReynolds

Saenz plans to attend col­ lege in Wisconsin, to play for the hockey team, and major in journalism. He also hopes to achieve a career in the Na­ tional Hockey League. “ If the NHL doesn’t work out, I’ll always have journal­ ism or the possibility of be­ com in g a c h e f.” -Carolyn Bradshaw and Marla Havins
