Mr. O. K. Posey Christian Churcn We Paused To Pay Tribute To President Kennedy. Few of us will remember that on November 22, 1963, we were completing examinations which marked the end of the second six-weeks of school; none of us will forget that this was the day President Kennedy was assassinated. We will not remember the test scores - they suddenly seemed unimportant - for we had been thrust into a situation which caused some of us to think, for the first time, of the responsibility and the danger that goes with the Presidency. There were mixed emotions displayed when the announcement was made. Disbelief was expressed both by face and by voice. We could not Force our- selves to believe that the President was dead. Only a few minutes earlier he had been alive and smil- ing happily. The fact that he was young - younger than the fathers of many of us - made it even more incredible. Throughout the weekend, we joined millions of other Americans as we watched the complete cover- age of the events on television. We became more aware of our loss as we realized the esteem and love other nations had for him. On Monday morning, November 25. Memorial Services were held in our school for the late Presi- dent, and we observed the thirty-day morning period by flying our flag at half-staff. Yes, we will remember the history-making events of these days as long as we live, but a greater tri- bute to President Kennedy and to the country he served would be to remember and to act upon one statement he made in his Inaugural Address: Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.

The trees were provided by the Student Council and the Beta Club. One of the most enjoyable assem- blies of the year was presented by the Southwest Missouri Baptist College Choir. The choir is pictured above. One of the highlights of the choir's performance was its rendition of Oklahamlet. At left could be-a typical before-school scene in our gymnasium if there were some girls in the picture. This group of fellows were waiting to have their pictures made for the annual. Where were the girls? Still combing hair! Mr. Gibbons succeeded in getting the attention of most of the members of the Mixed Chorus.

This year's varsity team played ball below its potential. This is clearly indicated by the fact that more than a half dozen games were lost in the last few minutes. Again, this year, height, or lack of it, made victory understandably difficult against such rivals as Richland, Dexter, Wardell, and Advance. The Mules next year will miss the departing seniors; Botsch, Bomar, Moore, and Vieth from the starting line-up. But the Mules will be blessed because the sharp-shooting, fast-dodging juniors; Mayberry, McKuin, and Wilson will be in the 1964-196S season line-up to hold the Mules' record.

Driving determination and fighting spirit characterized the Mules B-Team this year. The 1963- 1964 season was packed with excitement from the very beginning. Their maneuvering ability and top-notch scoring proved to all that the Mules ranked among the best. With returning lettermen; Walters, Tanner, Crow, Botsch, Warren, and Thurston, the team was in fine shape. Although these players will be lost to the A-Team next season, the B-Team's hopes do not waver for coming up are such post men and sharpshooters as Botsch, Bolin, and Dortch, who will surely present strong competition to all opponents. Botsch got set to score. Bomar grappled for the McKuin drove for the rebound. board against the Tigers. Bomar vaulted high for the tip-off. Vieth arched a long one. Mules On The Go.

The outstanding set-ups; Evans, Gibson, Fyffe, Johnson, and Wethington will also be leaving, much to the dismay of all Bernie fans. But hope still lingers, for Barney, Becking, and Stone will be on the starting line-up next season to use strategy and top notch ability to outwit their mighty opponents. The highlights of the season came when the Mules downed the Bloomfield Wildcats to start off their race in the Bell City Tournament. They were defeated by the Bell City Cubs in their second game but came up in their third match by beating the Puxico Indians to secure the third place trophy. EIGHTH GRADE TEAM ROW ONE: M. Fritts, B.

Black’s Ballhawks Become Backboard Bombardiers • Coach Black's Junior High teams had a very pros- perous season. The eighth grade team, who notched an undefeated total of eight in a row as seventh graders, came within an eyelash of repeating the performance again this year. They had rolled over all opposition in r u n ning their two-year string to 20 in -succession before it was snapped by a tremendous powerhouse club from Poplar Bluff in their last scheduled game of the season. The seventh grade team didn't perform quite as well but, nevertheless, posted a 6-2 record that is certainly respectable. • Prior to County Tourna- ment. SEVENTH GRADE TEAM ROW ONE: N. Mayberry, R.

Speaking for the Publications Class, we express our gratitude to Miss Forester for her assistance, understanding, and patience throughout the making of this annual. Without her, it would never have become a reality. Our special thanks go to the Senior Class for making possible the colored end sheets which add impressiveness to our school year’s record. Our appreciation also goes to the other members of the Publications Class. Without their help and understanding of our trying moments, we would never have successfully completed the COTTON BOLL. Being editors of the COTTOM BOLL was a great honor and a rewarding experience which will long be remembered. We sincerely hope that the people who look through this book will be reminded of the work that went into it. We also hope that it will be a cherished possession from Bernie High School. .
