It takes determination and dedication to fulfill the task of a starring role; however, if you ask any performer, he will most likely tell you that although it is not easy, having the lead is well worth the time and ef- fort and can be quite rewarding. Here at BHS, it is easy to see that our students play a major part in everything we do ... from football to academics there are roles for everyone — including faculty and students. We have a crew that can set the stage for almost any produc- tion. So whether you are involved in behind-the-scenes action or onstage excitement, get ready for ... lights, camera, action ... it’s time to take that chance and go for that leading role. 1 Randy Johnson pays close attention in English class 2 Beauty is fust one ot her many qualities (Tyleia Baisden. 3 Robbi Fewox relays a juicy bit ot news 4 Taking a break between classes is well worth the time (Kim Washington) 5 Trime Montez displays her Anchor initiation outfit 6 It's spirit that gives these guys their sparkle1 (Dick Lewis.

Why, it’s star-studded spirit, of course! It is a spirit that has a little more sparkle, a little more pizazz than just ordinary spirit. Just take a look around ... It is quite plain to see the enthusiasm in a cheerleader or the pride of a football player. Why shouldn’t we hold our heads a little bit higher than anyone else?! Yellow Jackets scored an unbelievable record for the football season, not to mention our other athletic teams who also received rave reviews. But BHS spirit is not just seen in sports or athletics. It is quite apparent in the teachers’ styles and the attitudes of the students. We can safely say that Bartow High is a school bursting with charisma and charm in every way. 1. She Is the prime example of BHS's perfect cheerleader! (Pam Waters) 2. This is the scoreboard of a winning team!! 3. You can count on Otis to get the extra yards!

Wendy Eckstadt and Judy Vice agree that pep rallies are the best part of Fridays. 13. It's a Jacket in the flesh. 5 High school is a time in life when lasting friendships are made. Friends are a necessary part of life — especially in high school!! Who is the one who comforts you after you fail your chemistry exam or after you lost your English paper? And who is the one who filled in for you at the last club committee meeting because you forgot to attend? Well, of course, it was your best buddy!! It would cer- tainly be impossible to make it through the day without a friend’s moral support and shoulder to cry on! The famous philosopher and writer, Ralph Waldo Emerson, once stated, “The only way to have a friend is to be one.” It is important to remember that the only way to develop meaningful relationships is to be a friend first. It takes caring, patience, and a little bit of love, but it’s well worth the effort. So take off your hats, BHS, and get ready to salute those award-winning friendships!!

Award-Winning Friendships Reaching fer ... Higher Aspiraticns The 1983-84 school year has been a year of change for Bartow High School. Students came back to school this year facing mass renova- tion and new requirements for graduation. It took a small amount of adjustment, but with a little time, BHS students were ready to face the challenge of a new year! In July, 1983, Senator Curtis Peter- son introduced the RAISE Bill (Raise Achievement in Secondary Educa- tion) to the Florida Senate. This bill, which calls for stiffer graduation re- quirements, will take effect in 1984, and has affected this year’s juniors in many ways. In order to graduate in 1985 and 1986, all high school students must: successfully com- plete a minimum of 22 credits in grades 9-12; four credits in English, three credits in mathematics, three credits in science, and three credits in social studies. An even bigger change occurs to those graduating in 1987. All students must have ac- quired 24 credits in grades 9-12 to receive their high school diploma. In addition to confronting new re- quirements, BHS students have had the difficult task of adjusting to the renovation process taking place at Bartow High. Students have learned to attend class in portables and to share lockers as a result of the shortage of space. Teachers have also learned that teaching in four dif- ferent classrooms can be quite in- teresting! Despite all those factors, however, BHS and its students have survived. We have reached an even higher rung on the ladder of success. 1. A typical renovation site at Bartow High. 2. Our busy Key Club president takes time out to do library research. (Tim Gibson) 3. Sherry Kloska and Kim Adams would rather work outside. 4. Jill Blum displays the latest chemistry technique. 5. Cindy Jackson is the only one who knows the answer to this lab!!

Lisa Napoli proves that computers can be fun!! 9. Kim White tries her hand at tracing short- hand outlines. 10. Trifon Isn't really studying; he's just pretending. (Trifon Houvardas. Tim Fortner) 11. Melinda Kilgore usually knows where Florida is. 12. When it comes to studying, this girl has no problem. (Tiffany Bell) 13. Working on the renovation is a daring feat! 14. Just being in his presence would brighten anyone's day. (Wade Long) 9 A top-quality performance results from cast cooperation and en- thusiasm. At BHS. our cast has all of these qualities and more. Because of our sense of competition and high standards, we give a first rate perfor- mance in everything we do. Bartow High is bubbling over with students who are willing to share their time and efforts endlessly to give us a class act. Without the cast and crew of BHS, it would be impossible to produce the quality performances for which our school has become so well known. I. This couple definitely added a sparkle to prom!' (DeOe Odom. Travis Mitchell) 2 Of course.

Top-Quality Performance Reaching Fer ... Dreams cf A Lifetime Dreams are considered by many humans to be a basic necessity in life. Without them, we would lack the motivation and incentive to make something meaningful out of our lives. Yes, there IS a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and it can be yours with a little patience and per- sistence. The road to success is never easy, but if you believe in yourself and your dreams, the sky is the limit!! So go for it... and REACH FOR THE STARS!

Torre Love, vice-president; Noreen Fernandez, president; Viesta Klnsler. treasurer; April Guest, secretary With a year of experience behind us, the Junior Class was ready to take on the challenges of the 1983-84 school year. Our year started off with new faces to meet and old friends to greet. Without the use of the north building, the crowded halls kind of cramped our style, but we managed to give BHS a year it will never forget. The long walk from the Junior parking lot was a real eye opener in the mornings, but it was worth it when you had a car to park there. With the anticipation of prom night, we worked throughout the year raising money. We showed BHS how to be the best — and nobody does it better than the class of 85.

Mr. Anthony checks out some Important papers helping to keep our school running smoothly. 66 Mrs. Sparkman proudly shows off her nice, clean office. ADMINISTRATION CHANGES ANDIS CHALLENGED The year 1983-1984 brought on drastic changes in our school system. After the sudden, shocking death of Mr. R. Clem Churchwell, the elected Superintendent of Polk County schools, Dr. John Stewart, principal of Winter Haven High School, was appointed by Governor Bob Graham to complete the term which ends in December, 1984. Our own principal, Mrs. Henrie Sparkman, was also nominated. The administration at BHS was challenged this year to see that quality education continued under the difficult conditions created by the renovation of the north building. Teaching schedules had to be arranged so that more than one teacher could use some classrooms. This created the “floating teacher.” Four portable classrooms were moved on campus to help alleviate some of the crowding. Our newly appointed superintendent, Mr. Stewart, seems pleased with Mr. Brown, Southwest Area Superintendent, relaxes a moment in his his new job.________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ Corbett.

This department prepares students for the challenging world of work. David Huss and Douglas Welliver help students advance their skills in the areas of nursery, citrus, livestock, and crop production. The strong agriculture department has helped many students in their plans for the future. Jarrod Echols develops skills in tractor driving. Timmy and Eddie make new friends. (Timmy Altman, Eddie Grant) 68 FINE ARTS DEVELOPS CULTURAL APPRECIATION BHS gives students the chance to have a glimpse at the exciting world of performing arts. In the fine arts classes — band, chorus, humanities and art — students develop ap- preciation for painting, drawing, ceramics, music, and literature. The students involved in these classes put in many hours of practice. With the help of instructors Ken Allen and John DeYoung, competition becomes very important. As the time draws nearer for the contests, ten- sion builds. When the year is over, however, the self-satisfaction receiv- ed from the classes is worth the hard work and many hours put into these classes. Art students under the direction of Mrs. Lois Jackson compete in state and local art shows and win recogni- tion for themselves and their school. DeYoung, John Allen, Kenneth Instrumental Techniques.

Our of- fice procedures class has done something about it. A TRS-80 computer with a printer was purchased to bring this class up to date. For the first time in the history of BHS, business education students sold jewelry to purchase more computers. There are many classes offered which give students a headstart on a life in the business world. Classes in typing, book- keeping, shorthand, data processing, of- fice procedures, and business math build the skills needed for a successful career. New teachers, Ruthanne Stonewall and Jerry Weeks, joined the department this year. I. Business Math Basic Skills Math COOP. ED. TRAINS FOR CAREERS A good way to go to school and work at the same time is to be involv- ed in the cooperative education pro- gram. The DOT program helps to prepare individuals for employment through experiences provided by the cooperative method. Under the direction of Ralph Moore, the students receive assistance in finding jobs, and the on-the-job training can lead to a career. Through cooperative education, students learn about the free enter- prise system, and prepare themselves for the American Business markets. DRIVER ED. IS FOR SAFETY ON THE ROAD The steel nerves that the instruc- tors of driver education have are mandatory. Coach James Williams and Coach Sam Griner do excellent jobs dealing with students. The pur- pose of this course is to help students develop good driving skills and help them to be able to deal with tight situations in traffic. Drivers Education helps develop good techniques in driving and the skills acquired can be used throughout life. This sure will be a long day if my candy supply is this low.

(Brian West) 72 FOREIGN LANGUAGE LAB ENHANCES LEARNING There are many Interesting aspects to the foreign language department this year. Because the north building is being renovated, the foreign language classes are meeting in the foods and clothing labs. This creates a completely different en- vironment for these students. Due to the new requirement of two years of a foreign language for acceptance by Florida colleges, many students are having to study a new language for the first time. A new language lab with listening devices enhances the process. Learning a new language is a chal- lenge, but it can also prove to be fun! ENGLISH — INSTRUCTION FOR LIFETIME SKILLS The one subject required each year in high school is English. Skills in reading, composition, and grammar are improved with the help of some excellent teachers. The Advanced Placement English class went through a change this year after the retire- ment of Mrs. Evelyn Laurent who taught at Bartow High School for 36 years. Mrs. Carol Backasch, who previously taught at Santa Fe High in Lakeland, has assumed the duty of preparing seniors for the advanced placement English test and is doing an excellent job. Helping prepare the students for the future careers and for college entrance, the teachers of the English courses have an important job! English seems to startle Charlotte Clark. Nelson.

Help! Anytime a student needs help with a schedule or advice on colleges, the guidance counselors are there. This year, there have been changes in the guidance department. Mr. James Butler after teaching advanced Place- ment biology for many years, has been assigned to the guidance of- fice full time. Mrs. Ann Meadows of Winter Haven joined the guidance staff early in December when Mrs. May Williams, Guidance director from May to November, 1983, returned to Lakeland High School.

(Roger Marlin. Scott Wools) Mrs. Henderson smiles sweetly for the camera. MEDIA CENTER IS A MANY-FACETED LEARNING CENTER The Media center at BHS has an excellent selection of books, magazines, and reference material to appeal to almost any reader. Early in their high school career students are given instruction on the use of the media center by the media specialist. The use of the center is not limited to printed material. All film, film strips, and audio visual material are also housed here. A video camera was purchased for the center last year and many classrooms have been wired for television. Lectures and school activities have been video taped for replay later to various groups. Hey! It’s Susie on TV. (Roger Martin) Michael Melvin takes advantage of the quiet library atmosphere. Mr. Green helps the sophomores. 75 Evelyn Office Manager Starr. Berta Secretary Ferrell. Anne Bookkeeper What’s Ns number? (Donna Cartwright. Denise Brogdon) OFFICE STAFF — THE STRONG NON- INSTRUCTIONAL TEAM The staff in the front office of BHS has a tough job. Mrs. Dease, Mrs. Starr and Mrs. Ferrell are the support behind the strong administrative team. Mrs. Dettling, new on the staff this year, spends much time at the computer terminal keeping students’ records up-to-date. The office staff works diligently day by day to assist the administration and faculty with many of the non- instructional responsibilities that must be accomplished. Without their hard work, BHS would not be what it is today. Mrs. Starr shows the joy of being a BHS Secretary. (Mrs. Berta Starr) Karen Griffin — Chief Editor of the newspaper.

(Jamie Johnson) HOME ECONOMICS TEACHES SELF- SUFFICIENCY The Home Economics courses at BHS are designed to teach students to be self-sufficient when it comes to home life. With teachers Tuth Ann Gibson and Lynda Black, the students are able to acquire skills in the areas of child development, housing and home furnishings, foods, clothing and textiles, and per- sonal development. In each of these classes, students learn what it is to be self-sufficient and prepare them for it. Home Economics are courses to be taken and enjoyed. With the teachers in this department at BHS, students can learn and enjoy. INDUSTRIAL ARTS — FOR A HOBBY OR CAREER Banging and clanging! No, this is not a construction site. These are sounds that could be heard near the industrial arts rooms. With Richard Griffin as their instructor, students develop skills, knowledge, and at- titudes for success and advancement in a specialized society. In addition to wood shop and metal shop, drafting is also offered. In drafting, one learns how to read and draw specific layouts for architecture and engineering. These crafts can lead to a future career or a rewarding hobby. After all this trouble I hope it fits. (Tillman Crawford) Harold Young is using his unique skill of sanding in shop class. (Harold Young) Griffin. Mr. Richard Fund, of Drafting 1 and 2. Fund. Industrial Materials 79 Practice makes perfect. (Torre Love) MATH FILLS A VARIETY OF NEEDS Behind the many hours of endless homework stand math teachers who exert every possible effort daily to pound theorems and rules into the students’ heads. Sometimes they are successful, and sometimes they are not. With classes from trigonometry to algebra to calculus to geometr7, to compensatory math, there is a course for all needs. Computer math, a semester course on programming using BASIC language, is made more interesting to students because eleven TRS-80 microcomputers are available for their daily use. Teachers have so many interesting things to talk about. (Mrs. DeNeve, Mrs. Carr) Mrs. Brooks shows the many different ways of working a math problem.

Keeping fit can be a tough job, but Coaches Wagman and Conrad are there to be sure that students work out sufficiently. The physical fitness tests ad- ministered twice each year will determine how one student compares with others his own age and size. CPR, a state-mandated unit of instruction, is also taught. According to national statistics, many lives could be saved if more people were taught these life-saving techniques. P.E. is an important part of students’ schedule. Yeah, I’m cool. (Charles McClendon) The pullover machine can even be hard for the best football players. (Otis Reese) Even Coach Conrad needs his nutrition.

(Kary Jones) This job is a piece of cake for the four of us. (Paul Westberry, Stacy Willis, Cliff Daniels and Sharonda Jackson). Dissection and explosions! Both of these can be observed in a science room at BHS. State educators believe more science instruction is necessary at the high school level to bring Florida to the top quartile of education in the nation. Beginning next year, three science credits must be earned from ninth through twelfth grades in order to graduate. These credits can be earned in biology, chemistry, anatomy, and physics. Mrs. Donna Brown joined the science department part time in early December to teach advanced place- ment and college pre-biology, replacing Mr. James Butler who transferred to the guidance depart- ment full time. With the right student attitude, science courses can be good learn- ing experiences and fun.

The answers to these questions and many others can be learned in one of the American history or world history classes taught at BHS. In addition, sociology, comparative government, and consumer economics round out the curriculum in the social studies department. In these classes students become familiar with the American governmental system and history of the greatest country in the world — America! Edward Heidtman wonders when Mr. Kovacs will stop giving notes. History assignments are not hard if you read the chapter. I hope taking notes will make studying for the test easier.

SPECIAL EDUCATION IS FOR SPECIAL NEEDS Special education, taught by Mr. Steve Brackin and Mrs. Lois Robertson, is a curriculum that assists those students who need extra help which can only be made available on an individual basis or in small groups. Students learn more because more time can be spent with them. Special education is an important part of the educational system at BHS. How did you get your milk carton open so fast? (Susan Young.

The candidates submitted petitions signed by fifty students, were first reviewed by teachers, and later inter- viewed by a panel of five out-of-town judges. The winners were announced by Principal Henrie Sparkman after a program which was emceed by David Bass. As each winner was called, it was evident that this year’s theme was a fitting one. These girls were definitely the “Stars of Today and Tomorrow.” 92 MISS ECHO — Ginger Ward MISS ECHO AND COURT Leah Williams First Runner-up Crosland Stuart Second Runner-up MR. BHS AND HIS COURT This year’s Mr. BHS candidates were first nominated by teachers and then voted on by the senior class. As usual, the candidates were kept in suspense until the evening of the Miss Echo contest. During the course of the events, Miss Echo and Mr. BHS and their courts were an- nounced and the audience was definitely quite pleased with the results! 94 MR. BHS — Michael Melvin MR. BHS AND HIS COURT David Bass — First Runner-up Jerry Ayers — Second Runner-up Carlos Diaz — Third Runner-up David Hebb — Fourth Runner-up COVER GIRL — Leah Williams and David Bass This year, thirty contestants competed for the title of Calendar Girl. From these thirty, the judges selected twelve lovely girls and one cover girl to grace the 1984 calendar. Student council members chose the theme of “Dream Girls,” taken from a smash hit Broadway production for this year’s contest. Alan Wendt, a TV personality from Channel 13, was emcee for the evening. As the thirteen Calendar Girl finalists received their roses, it was easy to see why each of these girls was selected as the “Dream Girls” of 1984! 96 MAY — Molly Kincaid and Tom Gibson JULY — Lisa McKinsey and Dion Kelley JUNE — Dede Odom and Junior Barnhart AUGUST — Ginger Ward and Mark Blocker HOMECOMING SWEETHEARTS HOMECOMING SWEETHEARTS SWEETHEARTS ADD A TOUCH OF CLASS TO HOMECOMING... And now the event you've all been waiting for Every year five senior girls are selected by their classmates as Homecoming Sweethearts. This year’s sweethearts and their escorts were presented to the school on November 1st during Homecoming Week ac- tivities. The candidates and student body were kept in suspense until late Friday afternoon when the winners were announced at the Homecoming Pep Rally. The court was introduced at the football game and made their grand entrance after parading around the field on convertible Corvettes, Mustangs, and MGBs. These sweethearts not only had the look of royalty, but they also added a touch of class to a yearly tradition.

GOOD CITIZEN As an active member of student council, Anchor Club, Honor Society, besides being involved in many other extra-curricular activities, Miss Ginger Ward was the most likely senior girl to be selected this year’s outstanding D.A.R. citizen. Upon being nominated for this high honor, Ginger was required to write an essay on the American heritage and how Americans can best preserve it. She was also re- quired to take a test concerning historical facts, and give a report of school activities and community and school service. The Daughters of the American Revolution then carefully screened each applicant and chose Ginger as being the most qualified to hold this title. The Echo staff proudly salutes this outstanding citizen! CONG. CLASS., D.A.R. AWARD, BOYS’ STATE When David Bass was nominated by the teachers at BHS for this honor, his work had just begun. After making a speech on Americanism to the American Legion Post, David was then interviewed by a com- mittee comprised of members of the post. While at Boys’ State in Tallahassee, the delegates campaigned to be elected to positions on the city, county, and state levels. Seminars were then attend- ed on legislative procedures and law enforcement. State political rallies and conventions were then held to hear speeches made by nominees for state office. David was fortunate to have been elected to the House of Representatives. The trip also included visits to the state capitol and the supreme court building. It was definitely an unforgettable experience! KITTY DUNN REPRESENTS B.H.S. IN WASHINGTON Kitty Dunn was the student at Bartow High School selected to attend the Congressional Classroom in Washington, D.C. Each can- didate was interviewed by representatives from the office of Congressman Andy Ireland. Each high school in Congressman Ireland's district had a student to attend. When Kitty arrived in Washington, she was recognized as a special guest of Mr. Ireland. During her stay she attended special seminars for the participants and a special session of Congress. Her trip also included guided tours of historical Washington sites, such as the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument. Kitty can definitely say that taking part in this classroom was a chance of a lifetime. DAVID BASS GOES TO BOYS’ STATE STUDENT COUNCIL PROVIDES LEADERSHIP FOR ACTIVITIES The Calendar Girl contest held at the Bartow Civic Center on September 24 is an annual event and is the big- gest fundraiser for the Student Council.

Not only has the number of Chorus members increased, but also the ability to perform more varied and difficult styles of music increased by leaps and bounds. The result of these performers’ hard work and dedication paid off — the chorus stayed in con- stant demand throughout the year. Some of the most popular performances were held for the Lions’ Club and the Open House. However, the Christmas Pro- gram was one of the biggest highlights of the school year. Our talented director, Mr. Ken Allen, brought the BHS Chorus through another tremendous suc- cessful year.

In order to promote the group which is relatively new, members planned several activities. The Bartow Hallo- ween parade and carnival provided the first opportunity for exposure to the public. The crowd responded with enthusiasm. November was a busy month, filled with activities which included a per- formance for the county principals’ association, open house at BARTOW High School, and a program for one of the weekly meetings of the Bartow Lions’ Club. Fund raising events, for the pur- pose of securing money for the spring tour, were time consuming but rewarding. Heading that list were doughnut sales and a chuck wagon dinner held at the Batoe Civic Center. The year of activities was culminated with the spring concert. 133 ROTC WORKS TOWARD ANNUAL FEDERAL INSPECTION The ROTC unit at BHS remained busy through the entire 1983-84 school year. Cadets competed in the annual drill meet in Mulberry. The ri- fle team also participated in several competitions throughout the state. The color guard presents the colors at every home football game as well as various other school functions. A special honor guard detachment was sent to the funeral of Mr. Clem Churchwell. The Battalion also marched in the annual Halloween Parade. A big edition to the program this year was the construction of a repelling tower. This tower includes several different levels, including a helicopter skid. The biggest objec- tive of the unit this year was prepar- ing for the Annual Federal Inspec- tion. The Battalion is striving for a rating of “honor unit with distinction” for an unheard of fourth year in a row. Gerad Hudson and Fred Carter show their drill team expertise.

The proceeds from these dances were used to finance several field trips for members. Some of the more important trips were taken to the Ep- cot Center, Cape Kennedy Center, and for the first time, the Science Fair. The sponsors of the Science Club, Mrs. Joan Blanks and Mr. Peter Luschinski, contributed greatly to the success of the club this year. Science Club at EPCOT Center.

Thursday evening was the night for skits, the snake dance, and the contest for the best St. Thomas school house. The long awaited pep rally was held in the gym on Friday. The homecoming sweethearts were announced by Stu- dent Council sponsors, Mr. Kovacs and Coach Griner. The fun-filled week came to an end with the Homecoming dance which was held in the cafeteria after the football game. The band “Sudden Change” added a special touch to the event, and the dance floor was crowded with energetic students enjoying the unique sound of the band. It was definitely a week to remember!

VARSITY FOOTBALL JACKETS TAKE THE DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIP The 1983 Bartow Yellow Jackets ended the season at 8- 2. The Jackets got off to a roar- ing start by defeating their first seven opponents. They were ranked No. 1 in the state after defeating Titusville, formerly No. 1, by a score of 18-8. The Jackets clinched the district championship midway through the season by defeating Haines City. The team’s first defeat came at the hands of Ft. Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas with a score of 8-16. The very next week the Jackets were again defeated by Kathleen by a score of 6-14. They ended their season, however, with a win over Lake Gibson. The district champions then proceeded to the regionals of the state playoffs in Dade Ci- ty. They unfortunately were defeated in a hard-fought battle by the score of 27-36. OFFENSE MEETS THE CHALLENGE The 1983 Yellow Jacket of- fense, led by senior quarter- back Jeff Henry, fought their way to an 8-2 season. Coach Quinn projected at the begin- ning of the season that “the running attack would be a little stronger because of experience and good depth.” Experience paid off because seniors Otis Reese at tailback and Harold Young at fullback were off to the races. Unfortunately, Harold was injured midway through the season. However, Otis sparked by the chant, “Let’s Go ’O’,” rushed for 1200 yards and was Polk County’s leading rusher. The passing attack of the Jackets was equally as strong. Quarterback Jeff Henry bog- gled defense backs by passing to three talented senior receivers, Chris Watson, Michael Melvin, and Fred Smart. This would not have been possible without a strong offense line to protect the pocket and open up holes in the defense. Outstanding offensive linesmen included Darryl Bivens, Tim Boyer, Gary Webb, Jay Porter, Ron Srong, and Fred Smart. VARSITY FOOTBALL Odell, half of the Haggins connection.

In years past, the Jacket defense has allowed few points scored against them. They have also been known for cut- ting down runners and controlling receivers. The 1983 season was no excep- tion. This year’s defense, led by the Hag- gins Connection, Arthur and Odell Hag- gins, brought the team to an 8-2 season and a spot in the state playoffs. Anchormen of the defense this year were lineman Kenny Robinson, a junior, and Darryl Brisbane, a senior. Together they plagued quarterbacks and upended running backs. In short, this year’s defense performed well, keeping with the Jacket tradition. SCOREBOARD Date Opponent Score Bartow 9 9 Mulberry 28-7 won 9 16 Titusville 18-8 won 9 23 Ft.

FOOTBALL JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM EXPERIENCE AIDS VARSITY As another junior varsity football season ended, hard work and deter- mination helped lead the team to a 5-3 record. This year’s team relied strongly on their running game. Supplying most of their yardage was sophomore Troy Jones, who averaged 100 yards per game. Near the close of the season three members of the junior varsity squad were moved to the varsity squad. These players were: Spence Hall, Mike Burkett, and Troy Jones. Through determination, the junior varsity squad finished a season which they can be proud of.

The Bartow Senior High cheerleaders hosted a summer cheerleading camp and invited various schools from the Polk County areas. Cheerleaders from the Univ. of South Florida were able to teach many cheers, chants, and dances. The cheerleaders used Mondays and Wednesdays as practice days to prepare for the football games. Cheerleaders were pleased with the success achieved during the football games.

Concentra- tion is a necessity. The runner must be in a state of mind in which he or she can block out all thought of pain so that fatigue does not become a factor. Few people realize the dedication and hard work of a cross country runner. This year’s boys’ cross country team showed great enthusiasm and determination; however, this year was basically a rebuilding year for the team. This year’s outstanding runners included Scott Rubert, Paul Stolzman, Flint Freeman, Ismail Gray, and rookies Paul Stills and Billy Curtis. This year’s most outstanding runner in the boys’ division was junior Scott Rubert. He finished ninth in the county and nineteenth in the district out of sixty-nine runners. For- tunately, the boys’ team is losing only one senior, Ismail Gray, who will be missed greatly. Next year’s team looks tough with seven juniors and four sophomores returning. The girls’ cross country team was equally enthusiastic and hard working. Outstanding runners for the girls’ team were seniors Leslie Jones and Kim Patterson. Senior Leslie Jones was the team’s most valuable runner, finishing sixth in the county and twenty-second in the district out of a field of fifty-one run- ners. The only underclassman on the girls’ team is Michelle Morris who should have a great season next year. The Yellow Jacket runners are privileged to have an outstanding coach in Mrs. Robin Wagman.

Flint Freeman m VOLLEYBALL VOLLEYBALL TEAM WINS THEIR FIRST DISTRICT TITLE The Bartow Lady Yellow Jackets volleyball team was a team to watch this year. With five returning seniors, Bartow was considered a strong contender for the county and district titles. As the Bar- tow volleyball team entered the county tournament, they had a record of 8-6 and were then No. 1 seed in the tournament. The Lady Jackets played two hard-fought matches, only to be defeated by the Lake Gibson Lady Braves in the finals. With the county tournament behind them, Bartow now faced the district tour- nament. Again the Lady Jackets were seeded No. 1 and were bound and deter- mined to win their first district title. The Jackets easily defeated the Haines City Hornets, and through team work and determination, breezed past the Auburn- dale Bloodhounds, to win their first district title. A very enthusiastic Yellow Jacket squad now traveled to Citrus- Inverness High to play in the regional tournament. Although the Lady Jackets played a hard-fought game, Inverness came out on top. This year’s team was led by Coach Marnee Cobb and team captain was Lisa Frisbie. The Lady Yellow Jackets finished their season with a record of 14-6 and were county runner-up and district champions. At the close of the season, many Bar- tow players were honored. Lisa Frisbie was named All-County Player of the Year, and Coach Cobb was named Coach of the Year. Scattered throughout the all- county team were: Johnna Moon, who made first team all-county, Sheri Grimes, who made second team all-county, and Crosland Stuart, who received honorable mention.

The rest of December saw the Yellow Jackets have an even win-loss record at three each. The Jackets burst into the new year with three straight victories over Haines City, Orlando Colonial, and Auburndale led by sharpshooters Bradley, McKinzie, and Melvin — all averaging 13 points per game. The Jackets came away from a long midseason home stand with four vic- tories out of five games. Ronald McLin and Reginald McNeil helped the Yellow Jackets wind up the 1983-84 season with five consecutive victories against such tough opponents as Haines City and Lake Wales. After this strong finish, the Jackets were fired up going into the District Championship. Their spirit paid off as they beat Auburndale in the first game and Haines City in the second to become District 8 3A Champions. This qualified Bartow to advance to Regionals. The Jackets were Region 4 3A runners-up, losing to Tampa Jesuit 78-65 in a tough contest.

Yellow Jackets started out slow, but they gradually became a better than average ball club. Once the team adopted their belief in the Jacket creed, they began playing as a solid unit. The Jackets won only two of their first six games; however, they broke into midseason with five straight vic- tories over such tough opponents as Kathleen and Lake Gibson. The team ended the 1983-84 season with a win over Fort Meade by the score of 77-62. They finished the season with a record of 11-9. Top scorer for the team this year was Van Skanes, averaging a strong 15 points per game. He also led the team with blocked shots with 2.4 per game. Other outstanding players were Everett Sankey (9.8 PPG) and Freddie Stroud (10.2 PPG). Coach Austin commented, “The team’s most gratifying victory came against previously undefeated Lake Gibson.” SCOREBOARD Bartow 59 Lake Gibson 84 Barlow 45 Fort Meade 50 Bartow 62 Orlando Colonial 32 Bartow 52 Mulberry 45 Bartow 50 Haines City 52 Bartow 51 Orlando Colonial 53 Bartow 76 Auburndale 56 Bartow 52 Kathleen 47 Bartow 58 Lake Gibson 51 Bartow 49 Lake Wales 35 Bartow 80 Auburndale 38 Bartow 48 Kathleen 55 Bartow 50 Winter Haven 52 Bartow 55 Tampa Catholic 54 Bartow 49 Lakeland 47 Bartow 51 Mulberry 41 Bartow 47 Haines City 52 Bartow 47 Lake Wales 52 Bartow 45 Winter Haven 51 Bartow 77 Fort Meade 62 Theresa Manning shoots over her opponent. 03 n ■4—� D ( ) CO CQ V) b GIRLS' BASKETBALL LADY JACKETS ARE DISTRICT RUNNERS-UP The Lady Jackets finished their 1984 season with an outstanding 18-5 record and were District Runners-up. Leading the team to victory were Kim Patterson. Tracy Johnson, and Darmecia McKay. Senior Kim Patter- son was leading scorer with 358 points, while Juniors Johnson and McKay add promise for the future. Johnson was second leading scorer with 334 and led the team with 157 assists. McKay had 252 points and was leading rebounder with 325. Although the Lady Jackets’ 1984 season was not a repeat of last year, much experience was gained. The experience gained and the players returning leave much promise for the coming season. The year’s coach was James Paramore. Bruce Edwards was his assistant. BASEBALL BASEBALL PLAYERS GAIN EXPERIENCE With new Head Coach Randall Hall, Assistant Coach Gary Lineberger, and many young players, the team played many close games, but lacked the experience they need- ed in the end. Through hard work and determination, the team im- proved with each game. With the loss of only three players, the baseball team has built a young team that is worth being proud of.

The fact that these two are only juniors also leaves much promise for the future. Darmecia McKay not only high jumps but also is a strong sprinter and long jumper. The mile relay consists of Leslie Jones, Sheronda Jackson, Kim Patterson, and Tina Adams. The mile medley consists of Leslie Jones, Darmecia McKay, Teresa Manning, and Tina Adams. The outstanding sophomore for this year was Yvette Jones who has become a strong sprinter for the Yellow Jackets.

The theme of this year’s Echo holds a very special meaning for me because I believe that mak- ing dreams come true is what life is really about. However, my dream of a fantastic yearbook would not have been possible without the blood, sweat, and tears of some very special people. I would first like to extend my thanks to Mrs. Betty Hain for her never-ending patience, skills, and talents. Without her dedication, the Echo would suffer a great loss. Next, I would like to express my gratitude to a marvelous staff. In my three years of working with the Echo, I have never seen such a caring, hardworking staff as this year’s. Because it is not possible to tell these peo- ple how much I appreciate them, I can only say this: In my eyes, each and every one of you are shining stars! I pray that God will continue blessing you by allowing all your favorite dreams to come true. Thank you for making mine possible. Sincerely, ' Molly Kincaid Editor-in-Chief P.S. A very special thanks to last year’s Editor, Ralph Fer- nandez, Mr. Jim Bolin, Bryn Alan Studios, and last but not least... my always supportive family!! 215 Like mother, like son ...

OPEN HOUSE — A SMASHING SUCCESS This year’s Open House proved to be a success for students, parents, and teachers. The event was held in the library again this year and as usual, attracted a full crowd. Throughout the library, guests could find a large number of various ex- hibits. The historical displays, such as the students who served our country plaques, gathered the most viewers. The Art exhibit also proved to be a hit with paintings and sketches drawn by BHS students. The program was brought to a close with the Show Chorus which sang two choreographed medlies. As the formal program ended, parents were invited to mingle and meet with teachers. Once again, the pride of BHS students, faculty, and parents was represented at this annual event. This family takes a glimpse at past BMS yearbooks.

However, one of the favorite items of the year is the senior Christmas Tea. This year the tea was held in the cafeteria and the entire senior class participated in the Christmas spirit. The stage band, led by Mr. DeYoung, played Christmas carols througout the event. But ask any senior what his favorite thing was and he will definitely answer, the food! Caught in the act again! Helping with a dance after the football games is hard work! Mrs. Sparkman welcomes new students to BHS. Starting off the first day of school right with ROTC. These sandwiches are scrumpious! Abner.
