“The color yearbook opens up even more opportunities for the journalism department,” said people editor Adam Roberts.

“This should help show the creativity of photographers and more contrast between sections.”

When the year began, the high school faced three PanoramicCHANGEs. One such change was switching UIL districts. After competing in 4A district for over 20 years, the school moved to 3A because of decreasing enrollment.

This change excited students, teachers, and coaches.

“It’s going to be much more competitive for all teams,” said athletic director Danny Nix. “Now, we are playing schools with the same enrollment as us.”

Another major change was the addition of a new 9th Grade Center. The former English Wing was renovated to create convenience and a more comfortable atmosphere for the incoming freshmen.

“I like haying our own wing,” fr#hman Linda Berreles said. “AHpf . v: '•i H P 'W if.W ffl i teadiereworktogetl team to make assigm

O N THE TIMELINE, North Texas pioneer Mabel Gilbert settled in what is now Burkbumett in 1856.

T w o decades later in 1879, J.G. Hardin and Simon P. Hawkins established a small community to the west. The area soon became known as Nesterville to local

cow boys from Burk Burnett's 6666 Ranch. Much o f Burkbumett was included in Burnett’s Ranch. In fact, the ranch had becom e so vast that even President Theodore Roosevelt visited to attend Burk Burnett’s 1905 wolf hunt.

While working on homecoming and helping out with the Friendship Festival, we were able to make things fun and enjoyable.

For the annual homecom ing float event, the student council selected video games as the theme. Seniors finally pushed past previous difficulties and were victorious with their Super Mario skit.

“Focusing on academics as a whole can help prioritize my goals in life and will help me succeed,” junior Layne McBeath said.

School counselors have noticed that today’s students are taking more A P classes to challenge themselves and enhance their transcripts.

Core classes enrich the academic curriculum by including TAKS preparatory practice.

1907

O N THE TIMELINE In 1905, Burnett sold 16,997 acres o f his land to J.A. Kemp and Frank Kell from Wichita Falls who planned to extend a railway to agricultural areas in Kansas and Oklahoma. On June 6, 1907, the neariby land was auctioned as a townsite and a post

office was soon established. With persuasion from President Roosevelt the town was named after his old friend, Burk Burnett. By 1908, the small community opened their first one-room school which was rebuilt in 1911 as a 3-story brick school.

Finding their Place

FRESHMEN LE A R N IN N E W 9 T H G R AD E CENTER

>llowing the example of other jh schools, administrators decided to jate a freshman wing.

For the first time, freshmen had most of their classes in one wing, named the 9th Grade Center.

The freshman wing lets the freshmen get comfortable with their new school by giving them a space all their own, according to Principal Del Hardaway.

"When new fish are brought to a tank, they first are allowed to adapt to their new surroundings by keeping them in a plastic bag attached to the side of the tank," Mrs. Shannon Johnstson, freshman English teacher, said. "They are in the water with the rest of the fish, but separated from them until they adapt to their new environment."

To transform the hallway from the former Page English Wing to an all freshman wing, teachers around the school switched classrooms.

9th G rad e C en ter

Teachers of mostly freshman used the classrooms of past English teachers who are now scattered around the school.

As part of the new freshman idea, the freshman teachers were divided into two teams. On each team was placed one English teacher, one science teacher, one math teacher, and one history teacher. Teachers on the same team had all of the same students in their classes.

"The new team concept Is great," English teacher Mrs. Kay Dalke said. "It allows for cross curricular planning and lets us use TAKS scores to make class lessons apply."

Freshmen feel that the 9th Grade Center made their transition from junior high to high school a lot easier.

"I didn't think the transition was going to be hard anyway, but now it's like we're not really going to make one until next year," Jazz Romine said.

"Having so many props helped us get organized faster," Allison Gray said.

and dancing bananas, Tyler Hunt took the lead in the junior skit as 'Donkey Kong.' The costume was rented from a local costume shop. This was the only costume in the skit that was not homemade.

"The costume was extremely hot; I didn’t like wearing it, but I also didn’t w ant to give it back!" Tyler Hunt said laughing in his own dilemma.

The Albins hosted the location for the float building. The barn provided open space to make all the costumes and a two-sided float.

The float design was drawn by Taylor Felty. Along with this, Taylor also drew the 'Donkey Kong' sign with the help of several students painting it.

The students snagged second place. This was an improvement from last year when they won fourth.

"The most fun part of working on the float was being able to be out late and not do my homework," Ben Cahayla said.

While work on th e float continued, students had to put together a skit that could relate to the video game. Jenna Frazier, with help from her mom, was able to help do this.

"It was fun being in charge, but also it was extremely stressful," Jenna Frazier said. "The best part was the actual performance and seeing the outcome."

Brain Strain

N e w T e c h n o l o g y H e l p s D e a l W ith a n c i e n t S u b j e c t s

It's the year of change but good old matliand science remain the same. The theOTies and formulas that have stood the test of time continue to appear in the classrooms.

However, we may be learning the same things but perhaps not in the same way as the ones who came before us.

When walking down the math hall the clicking of keys on a calculator is usually a resonating sound, but graphing calculators haven't always been around.

Pre- AP Pre Calculus teacher Mr. Jack Madding taught mathematics for 35 years before moving to the service center where he worked with teachers instead of students for eight years.

Coming back to teaching was a change for him in that calculators make math less time consuming.

"I definitely ask more questions so I can make certain students are learning the material," he said. "Calculators are wonderful tools, because they leave more time to work over the material in class instead of showing it and having students do it on their own."

In science the use of calculators and technology isn't unheard of either. For example, previously a triple beam balance was usually the source for weighing objects. Now the electronic balance is the more commonly used tool. It gives quick and accurate readings without the guess

and check of the triple beam balance.

"I think technology is great because math and science are hard enough with i Stephanie Broomfield said. "I cant imagir having to do them with nothing but my brain."

It is probably safe to say that mathematics and science classes will still I around for a long time to come. There are new scientific findings and mathmatic advances that are still being introduced into the classroom. Yet with each new year comes new changes in technology, teaching strategies, and other things to help make the brain strain more bearabl christinePOWELL

money to invest on new things and go to events. In the spring, judging is the main event. " I enjoy judging,'1Lane Anderson said, "It's one of my favorite things to do and so is showing animals."

FFA members judge a varity of animals such as, hogs, goats, sheep, steers, and heffers.

FFA is enjoyed by teens not just because of the shows, but also for the w ork they do.

"I like FFA because it gets you away from school w ork and doing real work," Q uay Grant said.

FFA use to stand for Future Farmers of America, but now it is more than farming they are doing. Doing everything between welding and showing animals, these teens get prepared for a life in agriculture. sarahW E A R Y

With over 20 winning seasons, I 3 district titles, and 500 plus wins to his record, he was more than ready to coach this highly ranked group of young men to their full potential.

"When you're ranked that high starting out, everyone shows up to play you," Coach Nix said.

Living up to these expectations would not be easy, the varsity team had only five returning members and only eight of the seventeen players being seniors.

"Last year, the four other guys and I had to follow the example set by the older players," senior E.J. Carrion said. "Now that we re the oldest, we have to lead

annual Fantasy of Lights Tournament.

"We had some really tough games this season but it's only made us better," Coach Nix said.

When district came, the Dogs had one thing on their mind, the district title, which they captured by going undefeated.

This district record put the Dogs in position of a playoff berth with high chances of going far.

"This has been a very successful season," Coach Nix said.

"We re a very young team and have a lot of room to improve, but over all I'm real proud of the hard work the guys put into this season."

The Dogs ended the regular season ranked 16th in the state. orlandoFLORES

the new players by example."

Nonetheless, the Dogs were more than ready to rise to the challenge as they always are.

As the old saying goes, practice makes perfect, and to be able to maintain the rank of 2nd in state the Dogs would have to be more than perfect, meaning that more grueling practices were a must.

"We knew coming into this season practices would be tougher because we'd have a target on us from other teams due to our high rank and we would have no time to slack off," Carrion said.

Those hard practices paid off in a big way.

The Dogs started off with a pre-district record of 12-8, which included a third place finish in the

The JV team worked well together on the way to a 6 - 1 district record, while the freshman team did just as well w ith a 5-2 district record.

"TheJV played extremely tough in their non-district games," Coach James Moseley said. "It paid off when it was time for district play."

together and we had a good season to show for it," junior Josh Bishop said.

The freshman team enjoyed the challenge of playing at the high school level and worked as a team to keep improving throughout the year.

"The freshman all worked hard and they kept on improving everyday," Coach Michael Baughman said. "W e look forward to seeing how much they improve for the next couple of years."

Both teams plan to practice in the off-season to

keep improving their skills while they get ready to play at the next level of competition.

"I plan to practice as hard as I can," freshman Christian Mendoza said. "I w ant to be better for next season because I know the game will be harder."

developingUVES P eople ith all the panoramic changes happening, the students found themselves having to adapt quickly.

The major change was the rennovation of the English wing into the new 9th Grade Learning Center in order to make the high school transition easier and to improve students' TAKS scores.

The freshman class totals in at 250 students, being the most populated class in the school.

The sophomore class of 244 students was the second most populated class in the school.

They began preparing for next year by taking standardized tests such as the PLAN test, mock TAKS exams, and the PSAT. "Sophomore year is great, but it is much harder than fres^Tjanvgar/^ODhom orelLy|: « 1

helped me realize I would really like to purse this career."

The 205 seniors also had a challenging year. The pressure was on as the college selection period slowly became closer and closer.

To help students with this process, BHS offered for the first time the chance for seniors to go to a conference held by AP Strategies that gave them information from some of the top colleges in Texas and granted them the opportunity to go visit a few of the campuses in the metroplex.

“I think the trip was very beneficial to the students," counselor Mrs. Susie Nix said.

"They got to see three different types of colleges and saw a side of college they may not have seen before.”__________________ .

Brie enjoyed going to all the football games on the bus with the cheerleaders.

"One time, my homework flew out the bus window," she said.

Brie fully plans to attend a college here in Texas to pursue a degree in marketing and fashion merchandising.

"I am sad about leaving friends, and a little afraid of living on my own," she said.

"However, I am still excited at the same time about starting the next chapter of my life."

With this yearbook being one of the first full-color books in the area, the yearbook staff toiled diligently to create a colorful book of people and events from the year.

Production of the yearbook began early, with students attending a summer workshop to learn trends and further develop ideas.

The staff worked together to create the yearbook on time, which had some students putting in numerous after­ school hours in order to meet deadlines.

"I couldn't tell you the number of hours I put in working on the yearbook after school," Co-Editor Janelle Goettman said, "but I can tell you it was sure worth it."

The Quill and Scroll is an international high school society for Journalism students who excel on their publications. michelleALFERT

T H ANK S TO TAYLOR Sales Rep. Cheiyl Chrisman for her continued tech support and wisdom. W e couldn't have finished without you!

W ith the introduction of a full-color yearbook, the Derrick Staff chose a more modern and sophisticated theme of Panoramic Change. Incorporating vivid colors with innovative picture styling made this specific book unique.

The 7 3/4" by 10 I /2" book features a black matte lithocote cover highlighting a four-color picture strip. Pages were 10 0 weight enamel paper containing headlines in Vanguard, subheads in Copperplate Gothic Bold, body in Eric and captions in Rinna. Body was set in 10 point font and captions were set in 8 point font.

About 600 books were ordered with the fall prices bein $40 or $45 with the name on the cover. Production costs were estimated at $35,000. Student portraits were taken by Life Touch and Gordon Photography. The Derrick belongs tc the Interscholastic League Press Conference and Quill and Scroll.

O N THE TIMELINE: The excitement o f the oilboom ended in 1929 at the start o f the Great Depression. However, in 1940, the legacy o f the oilboom inspired Hollywood to produce the film, B o o m Town, based on Burkbumett. In 1941, Sheppard Air Force Base was established

nearby at the arrival o f the 82nd Training Wing. Through the 1940s, Burkbumett's population doubled.

A new high school was built on Kramer Rd. to accomodate a growing student b ody in 1963. Our community continues to grow with the prospect o f the future.
