The crowd at the Bernie Invitational Tournament coaxed Ronald White to climb upon Troy Hartle’s shoulders for a better view. We Ployed . . . Our school year was a sentimental one as we talked and laughed with our friends, rejoiced in our victories, and consoled each other in our defeats. The basketball games and pep rallies proved to be very successful as much enthusiasm, spirit, and interest was shown supporting our team. Randy Adkins suffers the consequence of Joey Walker’s and Joe Watson’s strength. The year filled with dances, sock hops, and class parties will long be remembered. Spanish Class participates in an old Mexican favorite, a Spanish Pinata. David Walker displays both his muscles and his sideburns. His sideburns were soon re- moved.

We Worked . . . We worked hard throughout the year to accomplish the goals we had set. We spent much time in boosting our clubs by supporting their differing projects. We sold Stanley products, hosted a Bamwarm- ing, sent packages to Viet Nam, and sponsored Teachers’ Apprecia- tion Week. Our time was not entirely devoted to our club work, for we spent many long hours in preparing reports, science exhibits, THE COTTON BOLL, THE BOLL WEEVIL, practice sets in Bookkeeping, and daily assignments for all classes on our schedule. Though the year presented itself with much hard work, we ex- perienced a proud feeling of achievement as we completed each difficult task.

We Studied . . . Time was a vital element. Some of us tried to get all the education possible out of one year, while others only wished for the time to lapse so the school year would end, and will learn as time goes on what a mistake they made in not taking full advantage of the educational facilities of Bernie High School. Much time was spent in preparing assignments for the required subjects, History, Math, English, Science, and Physical Education, and the electives, Spanish, Home Economics, Vocational Agri- culture, Secretarial Practice, School Publications, Shop, Body, and Fender, Speech, and Hygiene. Rita Hueckel and Susan Stuever study at noon. Joe McDale hunts for a book title in the card catalog.
