Each class will have special memories all its own. The freshmen will remember their mixed feel- ings of excitement and bewilderment as they first entered the new and different world of high school. The sophomores will recall the confidence and familiarity they felt during their second year of high school. The juniors will remember the excitement of receiving their class rings, the work they put into the prom, and the atmosphere of prom night. The seniors will remember nostalgically all the events in which they were involved during the past four years. Of course, all will remember the hard work that made up an important part of this year— the class periods, the homework, and the tests; but they will also remember the fun that went with it--the ball games, the parties, and the lasting friendships. It is with all these memories and many more that the yearbook staff presents the 1967 COTTON BOLL. 2 feesmie Ibyaltq, We are proud of Bernie High And of the colors she flies. Long do we plan to be Proud of the Blue and the White. Honor and Loyalty ever we pledge to thee; Long will we honor her name, And be proud of our Bernie High. Alma Mater, thee we hail; Praise sing we to Bernie High. Ever our promise be, Love, Honor, and Honesty. Bernie, the school we love, Shall be our guide through life. Long will we honor her name, And be proud of the Blue and White. Usually when we sing the words to Bernie Loyalty, we are thinking of loyalty to our athletic teams. However, loyalty to school can be shown in many other ways. Loyalty can be shown through doing our very best in our subjects at school regardless of what they happen to be. At upper right, Jeff Riddle practices for band. Danny Elliott seems very intent on his project at immediate right. At lower right, Clifford Masters prepares an assignment for math. Immediately below, Martha Newton works on a chemistry experiment. — - Bernie School is composed of four main buildings: elemen- tary, junior high, senior high, and the cafetorium. The elementary building houses the first six grades. A new addition was added to this building this year and the sixth grade was moved into the new section after the Christmas vacation. The new rooms are completely modern. Elementary Building The seventh and eighth grades and the Art Department occupy the junior high build- ing . We OAe 'pA ud Gymnasium All departments of the high school are in one building with the exception of In- dustrial Arts and Body and Fender. Curriculum changes and the shortage of teachers made this a difficult year in many respects. However, we ad- justed to the many changes that we were faced with, and many of us will remember this as one of our best school years. The success of the school Hiah School Build ins was reflected by the physical building of the plant and the mental growth of the students. o-j. liesuue JUcjii...

Elaine Stanfield and Nancy Botsch took advantage of the heavy snow- fall and a day off from school and really pelted Mr. Merick and Mr McCoin. Our administrators were pretty accurate with their shots at the girls too! Mr. John Boyd, friend of students and teachers alike, is one of the most familiar people in B.H.S. When help is needed, you can count on the Boyds to lend a helping hand. Below left, English I students are caught preparing an assignment. (At least most of them were.) Immediately below, Bernie A Team Mules are shown in action. In the background the cheerleaders are giving vocal support to their team. cuid uMfsdz ywiluM d made tluA, at Relaxation is a must in the life of any student, and Bernie High School students are not ex- ceptions to this. At right, groups of girls are seen . in the Study Hall at noon. The topic of discussion might be an as- signment, but it is most likely that these girls are discussing their favorite subject, Boys. Before school, between classes, at noon, and immediately after school, you may find groups of students gathered around the bul- letin boards, water fountains, or in the gymnasium. Wherever you find a group of Bernie High stu- dents , you are likely to find a lively discussion. At right, Jeff Riddle quenches his thirst while Clifford Condiet and Gary Reinbott wait their turn. Be- low right is a scene at the annual Bon Fire. Immediately below, Rhonda Machen is shown as she looks for an interesting book of fiction in the library. to tiela ,! Harold Hager, instructor in Data Processing and Math at Southeast Mo. State College, was a guest lecturer at B.H.S. His day here enlivened and enriched the lives of these who were fortunate enough to be in one of the class- es he conducted. We enjoyed 1966-67. Typing skills are gained through much practice. The student at left is ready to begin another session. The Business Depart- ment is one of the busiest places in school. Many students return there after school is dismissed to catch up on their work or to de- velop more speed. At lower left is a scene at the F.B.L.A. installation service conducted by the Sikeston Chap- ter of F.B.L.A. Immediately below Mike Child- ers and Debbie Hopper work on the bulletin board calendar which is prepared each month by Art Students. 0 CEM8 For some, school days may all seem to be alike, but for the major- ity of Bernie High students, variety enriches their lives. Student teachers provided a change in the routine of classes. During the second quarter of school, Mrs. Judy Rimel and Mr. Gary Bean, students at Southeast Missouri State, did their student teaching in B.H.S. Mrs. Carolyn Brown did her student teaching in the second grade and remained to teach in kindergarten during the second semester. Mrs. Judy Rimel Gusi dcufA w ie IfilleA iLGAiety. At right, a student visits with Mrs. Nelson, the school nurse. Below right is a scene that is repeated each month when the school paper is finished. Why the happy expressions? This paper came out on time! Immediately below, Mr. Don Lee, counselor, talks with Nancy Botsch. Scenes such as this can be found every day as students go to the counselor for help with schedules, class problems, advice concerning plans for the future, or just to talk with Mr. Lee. A pretty girl is like a melody, and Bernie High has its share of pretty girls. At left is pictured Miss B.H.S., Diane Pointer (center) and at- tendants Martha Newton (left) and Susan Stuever (right). After winning the Miss B.H.S. contest, Diane Pointer was enter- ed in the Miss Stoddard County contest at Dexter and the Miss Cotton Carnival Contest at Sikes- ton. She was first runner-up in the Sikeston event. All three girls rode in the many parades in the area during the harvest season. 7 'psiettq, iA Uke a melody Below are contestants in the Miss B.H.S.

Did someone say a Beauty Contest? Let's hope not! These girls, in the top,two pictures, are decked out in their initiation attire. The other pictures are scenes taken at the an- nual F.H.A. Bunking Party. From the looks of things, each girl had her own feelings concern- ing how one should act at a bunking party. At left, we see Barbara Morgan and Linda Thies holding Ann Crowe. Whether Ann is about to take off or land, no one will ever know. In the lower left-hand corner, we see six F.H.A. girls smiling brightly at the thought of being on Candid Camera. Miss Smith and Debbie seem to be going some place in the next picture. With lots of energy, the four typical teenagers in the lower right-hand corner are doing some of the popular dances of the day. Combining work with play, the F.H.A. girls had a very wonderful and memorable year. This year six publications students qualified for Quill and Scroll. The Quill and Scroll is an organization that features outstanding jour- nalistic work. Members include: Leon Temples, Rosemary Manley, Yolanda Murphy, Sammy Dortch, Diane Wilson, and Elaine Stanfield. 2uiLL cutd £cyioll memke iA, e cm Acu e itt anofc Btarmatiinuil Sonoiarp Sorirtn firr¥ igti Sftuiol Journalise (fAQ-d jxwAualliUc Qua hJsAGAicuui uAcj,e euesujxme to- siead Mosie.

FBLA is designed particularly for those students who are looking for- ward to careers in business. One of its chief objectives is to devel- op strong, aggressive leadership so that these future businessmen and women may participate more effectively in the business and community life of which they are a part. The Bernie chapter of FBLA was organized this year, and at right are scenes of its February induc- tion of new members. Throughout the year they have been very active, participating in many school and community activ- ities . Some of the projects for the year were: Compiling and publishing a Student Directory, Revising the Student Handbook, publishing the FBLA newsletters, selling subscrip- tions to the Bernie Post, assisting in the Business Survey, working at the Post Office during the Christ- mas season zip coding mail, spon- soring the Christmas Dance, attend- ing the District Convention at Sikes- ton, participating in the National Business Entrance Tests at Sikes- ton, sponsoring a Dress Right Week, and working in the concession stand at three home games. Elaine Stanfield served as Pres- ident of this group, and Mrs. Janice Cox was their advisor. Members of their Advisory Board were: Noel Ash, Lendal Buttry, Melvin Murphy, Jerry Jaques, R. B. Woods, and Frank Pruett. The Student Council members have worked together to make this year the best one ever. The members from left to right are: (front row), David Walker, Marsha Mills, Barbara Sides, and Martha Newton, (back row), Mr. McCoin; Sponsor, Don Botsch, Dennis Hoggard, Lee Hester, Bobby Smiley, Rita Buttry, and Janis Riddle.

As sponsor, Mr. McCoin has given the Student Council the guidance they need to make each club project a successful one. This year the Student Council has kept very busy. To start the year off, they sponsored the Miss B.H.S. Contest. At regular intervals throughout the year, they kept the sign board up to date. They also worked in the concession stand at some of the ballgames. One of the big events of the year, which was also the first project of its kind here at B.H.S. , was spon- soring a Student of the Year. Above are the Student Council officers.

Gene Walker, their outstanding pitcher, led the youth- ful and light-hitting team to victory after victory. This is a very good record since there were only two seniors on the team. Coach Black said that it was one of the finest fielding teams in the last few years. He also said that the youthful team shows great potential for the following years.

They won a trophy at the Puxico 7th Grade Invitational Tournament. They have shown a lot of enthusiasm and sportsmanship. They have done much this year in cheering their team to many victories. These girls truly em- phasize the spirit of the Bernie Junior High Mules. Their spirit and loyalty have given their teams the boost which they needed to win. These girls deserve all the credit we can give them. As heads of the Bernie schools these three men strive for a better school for us to attend. Each day, they are faced with many thought-provoking, time- consuming problems. At the end of each year, we can see just how lucky Bernie is to have these men as the school heads. W. A. MERICK B. S.

We were presented all types of performances ranging from Pep Rallies to programs presented by Southern School Assemblies. The Student Council sponsored the Miss B.H.S.

They started off slow, but they finished with a big bang—winning second in the Regional Tournament. He uue MudeA take Second in ctaA i M Re ianat!! Lucian Black and his unpredictable varsity Mules had a season that no one could call good. But they took revenge on two teams in the Regional Tournament at Bloomfield to make up for their so-so season. These pictures show scenes from the Bernie-Bloom- field game, Friday night, February 24. It was the first time in four years that Bernie has had a team to advance to the finals of the Regional Tournament. That year, 1963, the Mules took second in the State Tournament. In the first picture, you see the Mules after accepting the second place trophy. No one could believe it when the Mules upset Broseley in the first-round game. Then the Mules, still possessing a lot of get-up-and-go, took on the first-seeded Dexter Bearcats. They surprised a lot of people when the final buzzer sounded with the score Bernie--45 and Dexter--43. The second picture shows Noel Botsch, captain of the A team, jumping high, trying to top the hands of Glen Williamson, of the Bloomfield Wildcats. Noel Botsch is shown calmly trying to tighten up the score by making a free shot in the Bernie-Bloomfield game. In the fourth picture, Don Botsch, a B-team graduate, is shown getting the tip-off from an unidentified Bloomfield player. VUe ZicflUlt cyiadeM, loots, Jjosuoa Ld to tkei i fysi AJuncui yea i,.

Nancy Botsch and Diane Wilson working to meet an annual deadline. Mrs. Judith Rimel, student teacher in English IV and Publica- tions, adapted quickly to the noise and confusion of Publica- tions. Her first week at B.H.S. was the week the first yearbook deadline had to be met. This was enough to discourage any other student teacher, but Mrs. Rimel not only survived--she seemed to enjoy it! 108 cAoMecamisiCf, of 967 bicuie l Uilicm, 2uee ir and heA G u U From left: Martha Newton, second attendant, escorted by Bicky Woods: Queen Diane, escorted by Noel Botsch: Brenda Stevens, first attendant, escort- ed by John Dale Murphy. Mm. Vi Ufie sieiUi L A party was given in honor of Mrs. Virgie Stringer's retirement. She had been teaching for 41 years, and her lowest salary had been $60. Before coming to Bernie, she taught at Powe for 10 years. Mrs. Stringer taught at Bernie for 10 1 2 years; and for her loyal service, she was presented with a pen from the Board of Education. She was also pre- sented with a silver tray from her co-workers. Mrs . Stringer began teaching in 1920; and ever since she was five years old, she has either been in or teaching at school. rr GfrtOQ BHS students learned through participation in all facets of high school life, buy they obtained the most of their education through books and the classroom. For some study meant only the means to an end—a diploma. For others it meant a beginning—a basis for a rich and rewarding future.

Below English IV discussion groups ask Mrs. Rimel for assist- ance in interpreting poetry. E As another school year ends, so ends the record of the year's activi- ties. We hope that you have found this year richly rewarding both socially and intellectually. As you look through the pages of the 1966-67 Cotton Boll, you will recall the hours of hard work, study, and planning, as well as the hours of of fun. You will think of the joyful victories and sorrowful defeats of the basketball games, and you will remember the state conventions and hard work you put in on various com- mittees . You will recall the fun of pep rallies, sock hops, and electing queens by the penny votes you cast. You will remember the satis- faction you felt when you achieved a goal, and the disappointment you experienced when you failed to reach a goal. Perhaps even more than these things you will remember the people you have associated with this year— the good friends, the acquaintances, and the teachers who were always there to give you advice and encour- agement and to set forth an example of character that you might follow. Several years from now, this Cotton Boll will serve as a reminder of the most cherished days of your life — your high school days . 112 -a ,w' ' . u ■■  , ' c i,N. H: % u‘ 2
