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.

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 Prepared Here Tom Hobgood waits his turn for a haircut. We prepared for many things throughout the school year. Much time, thought, and consideration went into the planning of classes we wanted to take, clubs we wanted to join, and set goals we wanted to accomplish. Much sacrifice was made in the preparation of the school year. Below shows Tom Hobgood as he makes a big sacrifice. His long hair, a popular fad, was sacrificed to play basketball.
