This year the race was close, the two favorites being the Rubik’s Cube and electronic games. The Rubik’s Cube came in with a bang at the first of the year. All that could be seen was people twisting on cubes, unless, of course, the teachers took them away. But then the cube craze died down and something new came along — elec- tronic games! Electronic games, although more expensive in the long run, came to be and still are exciting to play and to watch. Along with this new fad came the Mule Barn. Owned by Harold Stevens, it became the hot spot of Bernie in ’82. Top Right: Rubik’s Cube contest winners. FRONT ROW: Dennis McGowan, Jimmy Ri- ley, Clinton Costin. MIDDLE ROW: Darrin Boyle, Randy Kean, Greg Carter. BACK ROW: Tim Beck, Dicky Parkman, Tim Smiley. Above: Portrait in the Mule Barn. Far Right: Steven Burris, one of the highest scorers on Pac-Man. Right: Sheri Zoll shows her talent on Ms. Pac-Man. Students Are Style Conscious The major changes in fashions are designer jeans, shirts and shoes. The tag that you wear on your posterior or the design you have on your shirt can determine your place in society. As for shoes, topsiders are a favorite, and Nike tennis shoes aren’t just for sports any more. The newest fashion is knickers. They have made their comeback into the fashion world and are popular with all ages, proving that Bernie stu- dents are truly keeping up with the times. Top Left: Designer jeans displayed here are: Oscar de la Renta. Jordache, Calvin Klein, Gloria Vanderbilt. Zena and Sasson.

BHS Has New Friends A touch of Spanish and Dutch was added to BHS this year. Two foreign exchange students, Anto- nio Magro from Spain and Frank Paulus from Holland, visited Ber- nie for a year learning our “strange” customs. They added a lot to BHS, and we learned as much from them as they did from us. We hope they have enjoyed their visit because we have all enjoyed having them with us. Top Left: Antonio Magro shows just how brave Spaniards really are. Top Right: Frank Paulus models his Dutch outfit. Above: Antonio Magro and Frank Paulus: BHS foreign exchange students. Class Takes Trip The Psychology Class spent a day at Anna, Illi- nois, observing the envi- ronment and the people at the mental health cen- ter. Most of the class agreed that it was more like a home than a health center. They returned with a better understand- ing of the programs avail- able for the mentally handicapped. Top: The Psychology Class amuses themselves on their way to Anna. Above Left: Greg Norman enjoys his trip home. Above Right: Kevin Mays shows off his new talent that he learned on his trip. 9 Beta Dance Has Yuletide Spirit ’Twas the night of the Beta Dance and all through the school, dancing and laughing were the general rules. The students were happy and having a good time, and Santa was there when the clock started to chime. It was Greg Norman decked in his beard of white, helping to make it a sensational night. He gave away gifts that he took off the shelves with a little help from his two friendly elves. When the music played and voices chattered, every- one knew there was nothing the matter. There were candy canes and holly berries and lots of mistletoe, and it seemed as the night was wrapped with a bow. The only club that could possibly have created this holiday fest was the one and only Bernie Beta Club, doing their very best. Above Right: “Disco Brad Stevens watches all the moves that Kelli Edmonds makes on the dance floor during the Christmas Dance. Above: “Ho, ho, ho. Tell me little boy. have you been good this year?” seems to be what Santa Claus is beginning to ask one of his foreign elves. FROM LEFT: Antonio Nieto. Greg Norman and Frank Paulus.

With chaperones and Beta members loaded in a bus, the group traveled to St. Louis to unite with other Beta Club Chapters. There were places to go, meetings to attend and people to meet. And when the work was completed — there was fun. Greg Norman, State Beta President for 1981-82, said good-bye to all the Beta members in his final address, to successfully conclude the convention.

It was formally called Accelerated English II, but around school it was just re- ferred to as the “KBHS class.” This group of tenth grade students worked diligently to gather and write up school news. After two weeks of preparation, a KBHS broad- cast was filmed and taped to be shown on Channel 2 cable television. Under the guid- ance of Mrs. Yvonne Keath- ley, the class managed sixteen broadcasts this school year, in addition to regular English as- signments. Top: The KBHS class.

The walkathon consists of a large group of ambitious people who walk the course of twelve miles in order to raise money for the March of Dimes. Each participant collects pledges and receives his donations according to the number of miles he was able to walk. Top: A group of Bernie walkers stop to observe all of the excitement at the registration booth. Above: Tyla Stevens. Jacki Barker and Kim Gaines seem to be walking the wrong way.

Finally the results were announced: third attendant, Twila York; second attendant, Lisa Fortner; first attendant, Kelly Murphy; and Lauren Hester, escorted by Bob Hughes, received the crown and cape.

During the school year the members of the class engage in news gathering and typing for the newspaper, and get a chance to test their creativity on a yearbook layout. “Although being editors of the Boll Weevil meant lots of extra time and hard work, it was worth it and we managed to have fun,” stated Patti Bishop and Lisa Logan. “Being yearbook editor can have its ups and downs, but the outcome is rewarding,” said Lisa Fortner.

They faced a tough conference, and all seven of their losses were to conference teams. Under Coach Anna Pumphery’s guidance, how- ever, the girls worked hard.

All of these people deserve a good deal of thanks and recognition for their hard work and dedication. Ever since this class was just a bunch of freshmen, Mrs. Sharon Telker and Mrs. Judy Zoll have been their spon- sors. It wasn’t until the junior year that they became in- volved enough to realize what they had gotten themselves into, and by then it was too late to back out. Mr. Ted Wilkerson, a newcomer to BHS, was drafted as a sponsor at the beginning of this year, and has helped out as much as he could in his spare time. Basically, the Class of ‘82 is a good group of kids, but sometimes we get into little wads and conjure up mean- ness. During these times, we feel that our sponsors han- dled everything the best way. That is why we would like to thank them for all the time and energy that they contri- buted to us. Thanks, Class of ‘82 Top Right: Mrs. Sharon Telker, Senior class sponsor.

Endings have different meanings for each individual. For some it means another step closer to graduation, for others it means seeing another class pass through and for seniors it means one big step upon which they will never back track, the step into life, and saying good-bye to two special people, Frank and Antonio, they’ve grown to love. These seniors have gone through at least twelve years of school and felt many different feelings, just as now they have confused happy-sad feelings of graduation. As you go through this book, hold dear the memories and moments you have, and think about them every once in awhile because someday those memories and this book will be all you have of your high school years. We the staff of the Cotton Boll hope that you enjoyed this yearbook and that it inspired some feeling of pride for you, as it has for us knowing the hours of work we put into it. We, the “Wad”, would also like to extend our deepest thanks to Mrs. Judy Zoll, our advisor, who has let us use our own judgment, but at the same time has given us much needed support and help.
