JUNIOR HIGH BUILDING Ou i £ch al As another school year comes to an end, we find that our playing, studying, working, and planning have added up to another successful school term. This is truly our school. M M. CAFETORIUM Melvin Teel, Mike Norden, and Leonard Gamble at the candy machine. Roger Sivert, Margaret Bilderback, We PLcu ed... Throughout the year, we enjoyed many happy minutes at noon, before and after school as we visited with our friends. We also enjoyed assemblies presented by different groups in school, as well as those presented by outside speakers. One of the most enjoyable of these assemblies was brought to us by the dynamic youth-speaker, Mr. Paul Yearout. We participated in various parades , plays , pep rallies, and educational trips. The juniors and seniors attended the annual College Day at Southeast Missouri State College in Cape Girardeau. Various clubs attended and participated in regional and state conventions. These activities along with many others such as sports activities provided us with a year of play. Marla Prince, and Mike Zimmerman We Studied ... Our school days were filled with the required sub- jects, English, History, Math, Science, Citizen- ship, and Physical Education, and the electives, Music, Home Economics, Vocational Agriculture, Secretarial Practice, Bookkeeping, Shop, and Hygiene. We spent long hours preparing daily assignments. Some of our class periods were interesting, some were not. Some of us took advantage of the many opportu- nities offered us and prepared ourselves to face the future. Others did not make the most of those opportu- nities and will realize too late the importance of well- spent time in high school. The pictures on these pages are typical scenes of our B.H.S. this year. In the picture below left, the freshman class is spending time in studying vocabu- lary and the dictionary. They will be better prepared for future examinations as well as for participation in daily events because of this study. Below right, is Mrs. Cox's Secretarial Practice girls as they were being tested on the different machines which they had learned to use. David Walker uses a few early morning minutes to finish an assignment. Alan Botsch uses his third hour for typing practice. Dorothy Wilson and Sharon Kirby consult with the Paragon Press representa- tive at the annual Year- book Clinic. hJe, Planned... We planned our activities with guid- ance from the faculty. We served on com- mittees to plan the various events of the year, and we learned that often more can be accomplished through committees than in any other way. By serving on committees, we developed a sense of leadership and responsibility. We made plans for our future by con- sulting our counselor, Mr. Don Lee. We were given advice as to the choice of sub- jects as well as advice on the many other problems we faced. We planned our days, our weeks, and our year, but most important, we planned our future. We knew the keen sense of satisfaction that came from accomplishing what we set out to do. We also knew the bitter disap- pointment in having our plans fail. Although our plans were not always successful, we learned much through the making of those plans. Yolanda Murphy consults with Counselor Don Lee concerning subjects she should take dur- ing her remaining two years in high school. The pictures below are of committee members as they carried out their duties. At right, below, are Charlette Link and Janis Riddle. Immedi- ately below are Nancy Botsch, Barbara Sides, and Martha Newton. We W nJeed... We worked to carry out the plans we made. We spent long hours working at our money-making projects. Among these projects were: selling magazines, working in the concession stand, and selling pop corn at our home basket- ball games. We marched in several parades and spent many hours practicing in the hot summer sun. We built floats and en- tered them in parades. We printed bas- ketball programs by the thousand, and we also folded them. We produced plays, presented as- sembly programs , and attended work- shops. We published THE BOLL WEEVIL and THE COTTON BOLL. We worked in the library, in the office, of whereever we were needed. We learned the value of work and the joy of accomplishing a task that is difficult. Charlette Link spent part of her summer with the N. Y. C. Here she is shown painting the library shelves. Below and at right are pictures of students enrolled in the summer N.Y.C. as they did various jobs at school. Margaret Williams operated the mimeograph machine while Darlene Davis folded basketball programs. I. ... ' '•«d I II I. —. Scholarships: Several scholarships were awarded to the Seniors.

Scholarships, Gold Cords, Diplomas — these were highlights of the final high- school year for many B.H.S. seniors. They marked the end of an important peri- od in the life of the 1966 graduates. For other high-school students these items become goals to attain for them- selves. Regardless of the class of a stu- dent, these items are symbols of a suc- cessful year. Below, at left, are the seniors. Marching: The caps and gowns seemed strange and uncom- fortable but were donned with joy and pride. Below, a Diploma: The symbol of graduation that each senior cherishes.

Council ICe pA, The Student Council of Bemie High School successfully ended another year under the steadfast leadership of Fred Tanner, President; Janis Riddle, Vice President; Kay Pruett, Secretary; Martha Newton, Treasurer; and Marsha Terry, Reporter. Mr. R. H. McCoin is their advisor. The Student Council sponsored sock hops, which followed home bas- ketball games, held a dance on De- cember 7 in order to get books and magazines, for the boys in Viet Nam, kept the activities sign in front ot the high school building up-to-date, and worked in the concession stand during home basketball games. It proved to be a very busy, but very gratifying year. OFFICERS: Seated: DeWayne Zimmerman, Reporter: Noel Botsch, Vice-President; Sammy Dortch, President; Charlotte Link, Secretary.

The Beta Club enjoyed one of its most success- ful years in 1965-66. Much of its success was due to the early planning that was done by the officers and the subsequent planning by commit- tees . The group continued with its usual projects of the Ice-Cream Concession, Coat and Hat Check and selling Christmas cards. For the second consecutive year, they visited a rest home in Bloomfield during the Christmas season. They carried with them a box of fruit, nuts, candy, and cookies and small personal gifts. They operated the Concession Stand during the Bernie Invitational Tournament, bought floral pieces for the office, sponsored Teacher Appreciation Week, and attended the Beta Convention in St. Louis. One of the most important projects was the Beta Scholarship fund. A $200 award was pre- sented to a senior on Achievement Day by the Beta president. This was begun by the 1963-64 group when they presented a $100 award to Lindell Eads. The 1964-65 group presented a $200 award to Sheryl Palmer. The recipient of the award is chosen by the Betas. At right are various scenes of the Key Induction Ceremony held last October. At this ceremony, fourteen new members were admitted to the Beta Club.

PoAiicipaieA, in Many AciivUtieA The F.F.A. members had a very active year. Among the many things they did this year are: attend the Mid-South Fair in Memphis, Tennessee, last fall; made floats for the Bernie parade; and sponsor- ed the Barnwarming. During the National F.F.A. Week, Feb- ruary 19 through 26, they put a Billboard poster along the highway near Bernie. During the spring they competed in agri- cultural judging contests in field crops, animal husbandry, dairy, and poultry. These are pictures which were taken at the Barnwarming on November 13.

SEMO State Teachers College Cape Girardeau, Missouri M.A. University of Missouri Columbia, Missouri It is with pleasure that I write this message for our fine school yearbook and for the excel- lent group of producers and their sponsor. The Bernie schools continue to improve, and each new year shows many improvements over the proceeding year. There are curricular improvements, building improvements, and improvements in our trans- portation system. This year counselor services have been ex- tended to the Junior High School. Classes in Motor Mechanics and Body and Fender Repair have been added. Improvements have been made in the Business Education Department in- cluding changes in the Secretarial Practice class and the addtion of several office ma - chines . Numerous books and supplies have been added to the school library. The school has adopted the new Modern Mathematics program in all grades and will soon have the program completed in high school. Under the new federal programs, teacher aides have been employed and equipment purchased for them. A Remedial Reading teacher has been added, and a program in Physical Education for elementary children has been started. A school nurse began working in January, and additional facilities have been provided for her use. An additional seventh-grade teacher has been added. A Materials Center is in the process of being set up in a new mobile class- room. An elementary library has been approved and will be in use before the end of this year. There will be summer programs for certain pupils in Kindergarten, Remedial Reading, Remedial Mathematics, Library, and Elementary Physical Education. Your school board and superintendent feel that Bernie is a fine community with fine people and deserves the best possible school. It is our desire to provide the best schools possible for the Bernie community. We ask your continued co-operation. W. A.

A candid shot of third graders waiting to perform in the Thanksgiving Program. Jn Empty If eon 0 i a tf-uli One... When the school year began, we had the opportunity to make choices. We could choose to waste our time and drift idly through the year, or we could choose to study and make the most of our opportun- ities . We could choose to sit on the sidelines and criticize those who at- tempted to accomplish a goal, or we could choose to join the partici- pants and help reach a common goal. We could choose to criticize our school, or we could choose to up- hold it. We could choose to do nothing, letting others reap the rewards that were there for the taking, or we could choose to build a foundation for a better and happier life and reap those rewards for ourselves. The empty corridor that is pictured above may seem restful and peaceful, but it symbolizes the life of a student who has failed to open the doors to a full and rewarding life. The crowded hall that is pictured below symbolizes the life of a stu- dent who has opened those doors and explored what is offered beyond them. Some of us will have other op- portunities to achieve at Bernie High School, but others will not again be given the chances they were given in 1965-66. An empty year or a full one— the choice was ours! An empty life or a full one— the choice is still ours! Aut cyiospJ Auiacyiapki Aut cyiospJ Auiacyiapki AuMcyiapki
