Haltom High School - Buffalo Yearbook (Haltom City, TX)

Accomplishments add up as carpet is laid down The slow process started last year when interior walls were painted, construction of a new athletic complex began, and the traditional Buffalo head was restored. Through the fall, workers added the finishing touches to the athletic complex, junior varsity football players struggled to achieve the district championship, and a new organization called Whiz Quiz tested its members' intellects in competitions against other schools' teams. After Christmas, construction crews extended the front foyer, put in carpet in the foyer and two halls, and installed an awning over the front steps and sidewalk. Varsity basketball players fought for the district title while track teams prepared for another record breaking season. Cases across from the main office displayed trophies and awards brought back from district and state contests. ln the spring, National Honor Society installed one of the largest groups in Haltom's history. Freshmen at the junior highs signed up to attend high school, and Haltom attracted 77 percent of Watauga students, which was a significant im- provement over last year's figure of 70 percent. Apparently the community had noticed the changes and realized that a transformation which would benefit the students was under- way at Haltom. l - By Kim Allen Senior Daren Partridge carefully observes the strategy of Buff defense during the varsity game against Arlington.
