Remember the parties, classes, and athletic events......the yelling at games.....the long crowded rides in buses singing and yelling until hoarse......the joyful victories and the sorrowful defeats. Remember the world-wide events that touched our lives.....the flying of our flag at half-staff because of the death of former President Herbert Hoover......the changes in leadership in Russia and England.....our own national and state elections. Remember the problems we suffered with...... papers we sweated over......crowded halls between classes. Remember the fads and games......the rings, medals , and awards.....the thinking that hurt and the battle with grades. These memories along with others have combined to make this a year we will never forget. With this, the yearbook staff presents the 1965 COTTON BOLL. 4 SECOND ATTENDANT Nancy Botsch THIRD ATTENDANT Barbara Sides WE REMEMBER... how scared we were when we first entered school. We could not under- stand why our mothers were leaving us with a strange woman—a woman we knew as Teacher . As the weeks and months passed, we began to learn what it meant to go to school, we learned how to dis- cipline ourselves in the school room, and we learned that Teacher could be both stem and loving. WE REMEMBER... how we grew both physically and men- tally as we passed from grade to grade. We met new friends, enjoyed new subjects, and looked back at the new first graders with smiles. We understood how they felt, but we also felt our own impor- tance since we were older and larger then they were. WE REMEMBER... how excited we were when we became sixth graders and were moved to another building. Here again we felt a little lost, because we were in a new environ- ment, and we faced new teachers again. We were reminded of how we felt when we first started to school. We spent three years in this phase of our school life. Perhaps our greatest achievement during this period was when we at last grad- uated from the junior high school. We looked forward to high school, but had a sense of regret in leaving our teach- ers and friends. WE REMEMBER... our freshman year in high school. Once again, we were in an entirely new and different surrounding. We were eager to become involved in high school activities, but we were frightened some- times by the things that were expected of us. As the year passed, we found we were as much a part of the school as anyone else. Our sophomore and junior years passed, and before we realized it, we were seniors and would soon be facing life on our own. Yes, we remember many things about our Bernie High School, but most of all, we remember that we were given an oppor- tunity to prepare ourselves for the future. The choice was ours to make, now only time can tell whether we chose wisely. On November 14, 1964, Jennie Becking, Sheryl Palmer, and Sharon Smee along with Miss Forester attended the Paragon Press Yearbook Clinic at Dexter. Mr. Mitch Vogel of Paragon conducted the clinic. Assisting Mr. Vogel was Mr. Charles Brandon, Paragon's area representative. -Annuat Staff eri sdttend fda.rag.on fdreii Cdfi MIC The pictures at right and below show scenes during the clinic. Each school was given supplies and asked to complete a de- signated number of pages. New ideas were gained as students and sponsors shared experiences , and looked at annuals from other schools. In addition to the clinic. Paragon Press furnished a delicious lunch to the students and sponsors attending. ELEANOR BARNEY President St udent Cdouncil an d d3eta The Student Council, as the name implies, works for the entire student body. Each summer the president-elect is sent to the Missouri Association of Student Councils Workshop in Columbia, Missouri. There he gets ideas that he can apply to his own school. Activities of the Student Council included sending representatives to Jefferson City for the Fifth Annual Missouri Safety Conference; sending representatives to a Freedom Forum in Hayti, Missouri. The Forum was held in order to indicate the dangers of Communism in the United States. The Student Council also sponsored four Sock Hops, operated the concession stand at three home games, bought three dogwood trees for the campus, sponsored the Valentine Dance and election of the Valentine Queen, and sponsored Dress-up Day, Twerp Week, and Color Day. The upper left picture shows Eleanor Barney as she presided at assemblies.

The Bernie Chapter of the National Beta Club had an active year in 1964-65. Under the leadership of President Mike Reinbott, one senior and eighteen sophomores were inducted into the club in a Rainbow Cere- mony. This formal induction was at an assembly of the entire high school student body. The club raised the scholarship which is awarded on Achievement Day to $200. They operated the Concession Stand during the first three home basketball games, the Coat and Hat Check at all home games, and the ice-cream concession daily in the cafeteria. Three dogwood trees, two pink and one white, were bought by the Betas and planted in front of the high school building. As a Christmas project a basket of fruit, nuts, and candy, along with small personal gifts, were taken to aged people in a nursing home in Bloomfield. The Betas' year climaxed at the annual State Convention in St. Louis. 3.3. jt. 23. arm in SUL OFFICERS: Ronnie Ellsworth, President; Ricky Sparks, Vice President; Delvis McCullough, Secretary; Keith Turman, Treasurer; Terry Boyle, Reporter; Barry Becking, Chaplain; Glen Stevens, Parliamentarian; J.

The Mules played three games in the tournament with Harold Walker, a Sophomore, pitching. In the first game of the tournament, the Mules played the Puxico Indians and came out the victorious team with a score of six to four. The Mules then battled the Fisk Pirates, again coming out the winning team. The score of this game was a close three to two. The deciding game was played between the Richland Rebels and the Bernie Mules and the game turned out to be a wild and woolly one. The Mules turned out a score of errors while the Richland Rebels played a game with nine runs and one hit. The score of this game was nine to three giving Richland the victory. Barry Becking, a Junior, racked up two of the three runs made by Bernie, and the Mules came home with the Second Place Trophy which is quite an honor. 38 Siprin a Record S p ring Record 1964 1964 MULES OPPONENTS MULES OPPONENTS 0 Richland 1 9 Bell City 16 2 Lilbourn 4 4 Bloomfield 5 6 Advance 2 0 Richland 2 6 Puxico 4 6 Bloomfield 4 4 Fisk 3 5 Puxico 3 2 Campbell 10 4 Advance 2 ore MULES OPPONENTS 21 Richland 19 18 Bell City 25 7 Bloomfield 21 11 Richland 22 11 Dexter 31 20 Bell City 24 20 Bloomfield 37 10 Dexter 44 ROW ONE: Eleanor Barney, Katie Stone, Jeannie Becking, Joyce White, Coach Gregg.

We have spent many hours in the preparation of this book--hours of fun and hours of just plain, hard work. WITH HUMILITY because of our awareness of the many mistakes we have made. . .We hope that you will overlook them and realize that they were not made knowingly. WITH INDEBTEDNESS to Mr. McCoin. . .He came to our rescue many times, but it is for his service as Photographer that we are most appreciative. Often when we were at our wits end, he came to our aid. We will not soon forget this. WITH REGRET when we realize that this is our last year as an active part of Bernie High School. . .It is true that we will not be faced with those nerve-wrecking deadlines (Some of you will be facing them), but it is also true that we will not be facing our classmates and teachers as such again. They have become a major part of our lives; now we must leave them to others who will write the continuing history of Bernie High School. Just as surely as a school day must end, so must a school year, and so must a record of a year's activities.
