Because of her service to Bismarck school, her enthusiasm for teaching, and her respect and interest in her students, we the 1969 Yesteryear Staff gladly dedicate this yearbook to Mrs. Joe T. Smith. Registration, tests, lessons, happiness, some sadness, and activities find their path into the role of school life as many see it. Obstacles may hinder during the travel on this road to higher education, but man today needs to challenge this responsibility. Of course, the advancement toward our ever-changing era, new explorations in space, elections, and wars are making headlines in the news every day. There will not be an end to such data because history is being sought and then found. The world itself is a work of creation, because in the beginning God created heaven and earth. It is high time many should cease from criticizing and start realizing the importance of years ahead. To meet this challenge requires the individual and what he makes of his education. It is not too late as Sir Winston Churchill stated, Ah, this is not the end; it is not even the beginning of the end. It is perhaps the end of...” The Beginning School Board Determines School Policy The members of the school board are elected by popular vote by all the registered voters in this school district. Each member of the school board serves for five years, the first two years as an active member, the third year as Vice-President, the fourth year as Secretary, and the last year as President. After a member serves as President, he is automatically dismissed and may run again if he wishes. The complete program of school policy is determined by the school board. Even though they are scarcely seen by the students these men try to make the educational system at Bismarck one that will prepare its graduates for the ever changing world.

The Superintendent Speaks On behalf of the Student Body and Faculty, I would like to express my appreciation to the Yearbook Staff and sponsor for making this volume of Yesteryear one of the finest. We know that each student will be proud of this volume and what it represents. May each student represented here have many years of continued success and happiness. The Principals Speak I am proud of our school and deeply appreciate our fine student body. The good attitudes, faithful study habits, character, and sportsmanship you attain would honor any institution. John H. Orr Bismarck High There have been many improvements made in the curriculum this year such as: educational t. v., visual aids, library books, and research materials. As the 1968-1969 school year comes to a close I would like to express my appreciation for the nice cooperation of all the teachers and students. Our working together has made the year enjoyable. Clarence Holt Bismarck Elementary and Junior High 6 The 1968-1969 school year has been most rewarding for our faculty. We have expanded the curriculum to include two new fields of study through the facilities of Channel Two, the educational television station. Public school music was added to all six grades and science was added in grades five and six. It is the deep concern for your children that keeps us striving to provide a quality education, but we must continue to receive your support and cooperation to achieve these ends. James M. Drake New DeRoche High School Faculty Mr. Jack Brown Agriculture Mrs. Bernice Cook Math Mrs. Emily Copeland Business Mrs. Wanda Felts Government Librarian Mrs. Wanda Hall English If there had been no teachers how could students have prepared themselves for participation in a life of citizenship in which all may share equally? It is through education, formal and informal, that the young person comes to know what his society cherishes and by education he can participate and further develop this knowledge and ideals. High School Faculty Mr. Dean Horton Civics Girls' Coach Mrs. Gennievee Jackson Secretary Teachers' Aide Mr. Carl Jensen Science Biology Mrs. Elizabeth Sharp Home Economics The Bismarck faculty met new experiences as well as the students. Their knowledge was used and still will be used to promote such standards as is demanded in education. Change is more readily achieved in elementary than in high school because high school is dominated by the requirements of college preparations. Teaching is a basic need of a democracy and teachers are in the front line of its defenders. Dedication to a cause may be felt wherever teachers come together and from the faculty's contribution to the cause, satisfaction was gained by the students. 8 Faculty Mrs. Sharon Drake Jr. High English Science Mrs. Elaine Howell Jr. High Social Studies Freshmen English Mr. Floyd Looper Jr. High Math Science Mr. N. C. Bryan Sixth Grade Mrs. Bettye Tweedle Fifth Grade Mrs. Mabel Neel Fourth Fifth Grades The elementary grades are the beginning of a new life. These qualified instructors help engender a young mind into a more adult one. Their unremitting efforts are to build sterling characters, and often their claim seems unmoved. A clear point stands before the students; education is not in vain. Faculty Mrs. Erma Looper Fourth Grade Mrs. Jeanette Holt Third Grade Mrs. Martha Smith Second Grade Mrs. Julia Smart First Grade Mrs. Arlene Wilson First Grade Mrs. Joyce Franklin Third Fourth Grades New DeRoche Mrs. Velma Diggs Music Teacher Mrs. Pat Brooks First Second Grades New DeRoche (Not Pictured) Mrs. Jackie Looper Third Fourth Grades New DeRoche (Not Pictured) Mrs. Mary Lou Garrett Remedial Reading (Not Pictured) These dedicated people struggle through many a tedious drill, developing the minds and most of all the memories. We wake to a newer day, another beginning, and a past, sweet and worthwhile. We learn by going where we have to go. 10 Maintenance Bismarck Cooks, Left to Right: Bertha Wright, Maggie Thornton, Gertrude Bray, Leecy Matlock Bismarck Custodians, Left to Right: Omer Herrin, Clyde Oaks Bus Drivers, Left to Right: Hays Hardage, Charlie Green, Dan Massey, W. L. Cottrell, Wallace Diffee, J. K. Treadaway, Doyle Collie Not only are the administrators, faculty, and pupils important to a school, but also the people behind the scenes must do their part in keeping our school running smoothly. The cooks, custodians, and bus drivers perform the necessary tasks that keeps a school in operation. New DeRoche Cooks, Left to Right: Cora Prince, Daphine Southerland New DeRoche Custodian, Oscar Sanders 11 Organizations are beneficial because they provide a manner of furthering interests in certain fields. These extracurricular activities made school more enjoyable for us whether we were participants or even students being entertained by some type of program. The beginning of good, outstanding citizens can be made possible by cooperation through various organizations. Remember to join an organization for the purpose of it and take advantage of the opportunities it offers.

Pres.), Pam Burroughs, Janie Henson, Kay Dyals, Bobby Jackson. In the school year 1966-67, the faculty and student body decided to organize a form of student government. After carefully preparing speeches and displaying posters, a group of students were elected by their fellow students to represent them in school government. They can draw up and enforce rules and penalties independently or with faculty assistance. The Student Council also helped coordinate extracurricular activities and help organize the school's social life. During this school year the extracurricular activity of the Student Council was the sponsoring of a talent show. Their future plans include helping provide funds to furnish paint along with needed materials to maintain the upkeep of the basement. We of Bismarck High are proud of the constructive work and the integrity that the Student Council has given our school. They have displayed the courage and willingness it takes to undertake such projects for the betterment of the school and the students. It is organizations such as this that make the faculty and the student body proud of their school and help determine the future success of that school. 13 YESTERYEAR Staff’s Goal Perfection In editing the YESTERYEAR, the annual staff of 1969 combined their various talents—drawing pages, photography, copy-writing, and most of all, ideas, Sharon Hughes, the editor, planned the book and supervised the editing. The business manager, Kay Hardage, handled the business correspondence, soliciting the ads which helped finance the making of the YESTERYEAR. Sandra Roberts, the experienced and competent typist, typed the pages. The other staff members, willingly completing the pages assigned them, and proofreading, filled their places well. Their willingness to work together and cooperation with the editor, Sharon Hughes, and sponsor, Mrs. Wanda Hall, paid dividends in the form of the proudly presented 1969 YESTERYEAR.

Lions Roar For Publication of School News In the beginning the school paper was known under the name of the Beacon. The Beacon was started in 1945 and remained under that name until 1959. However, in that year the title was changed to The Lion's Roar. The Lion's Roar Staff, composed of Seniors, is responsible for producing a monthly paper. In this paper we have an account of all the activities for that month. F.H.A. Maintains Goal The goal of the Future Homemakers of America is to help improve personal, family, and community living. To aim for a start, Mary Daniel, Mrs. Sharp, and several girls from other schools in the county met with Judge Neil Phelan at the Malvern Courthouse on March 14 to discuss setting aside March 22-29 as F.H.A. Week. This year the F.H.A. girls had a spaghetti supper as a project to earn money. The supper was very successful.

Prepares Tomorrow's Men Today's young men will be the leaders of tomorrow and realizing this, the Future Farmers of America train our young boys the essentials of leadership through parliamentary procedure. A basic knowledge of various skills and trades is also acquired in this organization. Students are taught almost every aspect of the farming process by the advisor, Mr. Jackie Brown. Each person learns to be a do-it-your-selfer. But most of all, the future farmer learns to be a prosperous farmer through the use of modern technology and common sense. Yes, they live by their motto.

Its purpose is stated in the title-promotion of service, honesty, and leadership. National Beta Headquarters are in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Each year the club goes to a state convention in Little Rock and this year for the first time, our chapter ran a candidate for state secretary. The activities for the year were sponsoring a valentine festivity, play, 8 x 10 color picture project, and providing a reception for the graduating Seniors. 18 Betas' Goal State Office On the morning of Friday, January 31st the Beta members, laden with posters and' cards, left school via bus, immediately following home room, for the State Beta convention in Little Rock. Our excitement mounted as we drew near our destination. After unloading and getting settled in our rooms at the Marion, we went to the lobby to campaign. We attended the first general session at the Robinson Auditorium Friday night, where Mary gave her campaign speech. The skit was given by Carolynn, Randy, Brenda, and Dian on I'd walk a mile to vote for Mary. An entertaining sight was seeing Carolynn dressed as the Chinese she played in the skit, handing out cards and saying Vote for Mary after the meeting. Saturday morning we voted. The return of the elections were to be given at 2:00 p.m. and shopping was a good way to pass time. Finally the news came—Mary wasn't the new Secretary, but 1st runner-up. We were disappointed but all wasn't lost. The experiences and excitement of the campaign will never be forgotten. TOP: Beta members discuss the convention schedule.

Selection to this section of the yearbook under the heading of Who's Who is one of the most important achievements a person can have for his or her school year. The people you see through the next few pages were selected to represent our school by their various titles. As in years before students and faculty, whether as a class or as a group, began casting votes during the early school months and the results lie in these next pages. Mr. and Miss BHS Are Chosen Mr. and Miss BHS honors were given to the Senior boy and girl whom the student body elected by popular vote. Before the votes were cast, students were asked the question, Who would be the best representative for Bismarck High School, any place and any time? Because of their outstanding personalities and friendliness, Joyce Estep and Mickey Ball were selected during the early months of the school year. After graduation, Joyce, a petite, green-eyed blonde, plans to enroll in Nursing School. Mickey plans to enlist in the United States Navy. 21 Classes Select Favorites FRESHMAN CLASS Patti Estep Gary Whitfield SENIOR CLASS Joyce Estep Gary Swain JUNIOR CLASS Carolyn Orr Garry Dyals SOPHOMORE CLASS Marilyn Harkrider Darell Henson Leadership Today For Tomorrow David Breashears, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Breashears, attended the annual Boys State session during the first week of June 1968. His session was spent in campaigning and carrying on the actual activities of a democratic government at Camp Robinson. Under the sponsorship of the American Legion Auxiliary, its purpose was and still is to develop in young men a sense of individual obligation as leaders in governmental affairs. 4 Sharon Hughes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Hughes, and Kay Hardage, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Hardage, were selected to represent the school at Girls State. Girls State, sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary during June 9-15, 1968, was a week of intensive training in democratic government for 1,020 high school junior delegates. Using the facilities of Camp Robinson and with the cooperation of the Arkansas National Guard, the twenty-sixth session began under the responsibility of the committee. Delegates are assigned to different imaginary cities and counties. Sharon was a member of Wilson City, Webster County and Kay a member of Adams City, Albert Pike County. The Sunday arrival brought about many new acquaintances. At 3 p.m. everyone rushed to Lloyd England Hall where the session was opened by Gov. Sandusky. Each delegate completed the session by a colorful capping ceremony. Kay and Sharon were both members of the blue cap (Nationalist) Party. At 7:30 each night the flag was lowered in a vespers ceremony. The week was filled with campaigning for city, county, then state offices and visitation of special guests. Gov. Rockefeller made his official visit. An old cannon fired a salute for his welcome. After inauguration and a visit to the State Capitol, the session ended on Saturday. 2 Who’s Who Most Dependable: Joyce Hughes and Randy Ridgeway Neatest: Sheila Tart and Bob Anthony Most Studious: Kay Hardage and Randy Ridgeway 24 Most Attractive: Carolynn Gray and Wendall Prince.

In Roman art and literature, Cupid is usually a naked and winged infant, armed with a bow and arrow, which he shoots to inspire love. The Beta Club used the theme Little Arrows as part of a Valentine celebration. A Valentine King and Queen Contest was first sponsored in 1962. Each class selects a boy and girl for competition with other classes and the candidates who have the most money contributed to their fund win the honors. On February 14, 1969 Gayle Henson and Randy Ridgway were crowned as King and Queen of Valentines after a program of music by Bobby Jackson and a poem by Dian Allen. The proceeds collected from this project were used to help pay for the reception for the Seniors. February may be short and sweet, but it is a day to be remembered for these gay festivities. Royce Hughes and Ellen Yates contribute to their candidate's fund. ACROSS: The student body stands for the coronation.

Homecoming Queen Brenda Skates The Bismarck High School football team of 1968-69 chose Brenda as the Homecoming Queen. Brenda, a 5'4 , brown-haired, green-eyed Senior, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. V. Skates. She was a member of the Beta Club, Lions Roar Staff, reporter of the Senior class, and a cheerleader. Queen Brenda wore a floor-length, empire style evening gown of white crepe. To compliment her beautiful gown, her accessories included white elbow-length gloves, white heel shoes, and a crown of pearls. Captain Jesse Dicus escorted her during these gay festivities. These girls in the royalty who assisted Queen Brenda were also chosen by the football team. With an escort from the Senior class, the girls walked down the aisle to grace the stage. Each maid wore floor-length gown of various colors. LaDonna Tidwell SENIOR MAID Carolyn Orr JUNIOR MAID Sports have an important role in any school for the reasons behind them. Whether you tie, win, or lose, sportsmanship is the most valued part of the game. Our football team started the football season with grand victories, but as time moved on victory began to cease. Still the heart of every student in Bismarck School rejoiced with victory, faith, and interest for the Lions. Even if we were participants or just spectators, our sportsmanship paid off in the long run. 34 Homecoming Court Friday, October 18 was the date for the Senior Homecoming. The theme was Pearls of the Deep . The stage was eloquently decorated with sea animals and a backdrop of clear cellophane giving an effect of running water. The royalty followed the cheerleaders in the procession. The coronation ended the ceremony followed by a short pep rally. The night ceremony was fashioned in much the same manner. The Queen received a bouquet of flowers and a kiss from the Captain.

The 1968 Football Homecoming was certainly a near perfect one. Supervised by Mrs. Elizabeth Sharp the decorations were put up the afternoon before the game. The goal posts were wrapped with the school colors. Before the game the royalty dressed in the Home Economics building with Mrs. Sharp's assistance. The football players said a silent prayer, as they do preceding each game. Among the spectator's cars were some painted with words for victory. The procession of the maids and escorts across the field was one of grace and beauty. The cheerleaders formed an arch with their blue pom-poms and lowered them when the maids and their escorts passed to the throne of the Queen. Enthusiasm Ranked High The ceremony climaxed when Captain Jesse Dicus presented Queen Brenda Skates with a lovely bouquet of flowers where she in turn presented him with a football. Captain Jesse then gave her a kiss and escorted her to the bleachers to watch the game. Recognition of Football Players Jesse Discus, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C.

Senior Football Sport and Strategy of the Gridiron This sport rings a sense of pushing onward in any school. It requires strategy of mind and body. The Bismarck Lions opened their 1968 season in a home game with Vilonia on September 6. Our Lions received the opening kick-off. With a score of 20 to 6, the final results was a victory for the Lions. On September 13, the team traveled to Mt. Ida and gained a victory of 32 to 19. Sad to say, Bauxite won our third game of the season with a score of 20 to 7. Even though our season's scores were lower than usual, the Lions are to be commended for their sportsmanship. The season ended with two wins and seven losses. 39 Cheryl Bunn, FB, BB 40 At the beginning of the football season and through the basketball season, pep rallies with cries of VICTORY after the Alma Mater were lead by the cheerleaders to produce student spirit and boost team morale.

Basketball — A Spirit Building Sport Congratulations to the Junior Girls for winning the County Tournament. Hard work and the will to win harnessed and guided by efficient coaching made this athletic feat possible. This was the first time in 11 years the Junior Girls have won the County Tournament. Basketball has long been a favorite sport of Bismarck High School and one of the reasons for this is the fact that our ball teams have consistently shown superior ball-handling ability on the court and an unusually high standard of sportsmanship off the court. Sports give young athletes a chance to form close friendship ties with other athletes from other educational institutions. These ties occasionally last through college and into later life and give the student-athlete an insight into environmental conditions different from those obtained while in high school. To the spectator basketball is only a game, but to the young athlete basketball is more than a game or contest, basketball is a step toward new horizons and the all important future. 47 Track Tests Body Cinders, spikes, and young muscles pushed to their limit—this is track. The young athlete trains long hours and undertakes to develop a stamina unequaled to other athletes with whom he competes. It is going the limit and using his last ounce of strength in order to win that separates the thin-clads from the ordinary student. The track is a testing ground for the future: The will to win over seemingly impossible odds which is developed in track stays with the athlete on through life and spurs him onward toward the rewards of prosperity and happiness. The stamina, drive, and resourcefulness acquired in track are the keys to success. Bismarck does not have a track field as of now but the football field is being used. In order to get in shape, Coach John Orr would transport the track team one mile from school in the afternoons and let them run back to school. During Play-Day the afternoon schedule is devoted almost completely to events pertaining to track. The boys who were on the track team add points to their classes by scoring high in these events. Wendell Prince crossed the high jump bar at approximately six feet. Boys prepare for the 75-yard dash. 48 Co-ordination Stan Smith displays ribbons he won.

Action takes its part in school life through many forms, such as plays, banquets, senior trips, and just everyday happenings. The year of 1968-69 progressed with mounting excitement especially after overcoming various experiences. 50 Activities The Work With the The different aspects of student life—studies, pep rallies, club meetings, and just intermingling of students—all are important to every individual. The activities of Bismarck High School of 1968-69 helped every student gain knowledge and develop personality. The Senior English class engages in a most important factor In school life—study. As the weather turns warm, the Spring fever just won't let you FHA girls move outdoors. stay inside! The beginning of the 1968-69 school year was registration. After the renewing of acquaintances and catching-up on the news, school settled down to the regular school day. Studies were most important, but they were not the whole of the school day. During football season, the students enjoyed pep rallies and cheering their teams. The year quickly slipped into spring and the students brightened almost as much as their surroundings. It wasn't long though, until spring fever was gone and the Seniors prepared for graduation. Play, Students strengthen their teams by cheering them to victory.

Whether really alone or alone with a best friend, the students enjoyed their times alone and together. Sharon Hughes helps keep the school grounds clean. Those times alone are sometimes the best! 53 All Made Student Life Seniors enjoyed their last minutes at Bismarck High. Enjoyable Students clean out their lockers. School life is made up of many activities. The day begins at 8:30 and those hours until 3:20 are both hectic and fun filled. For the Freshmen they are new moments and to the Seniors they are familiar and soon to be over. Home Economics girls had a pretty Christmas party.

Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell have their hands full with three teen-age children. Connie, the oldest, is a very attractive and popular girl in her set. Her trouble is always wanting more expensive clothes than her father can afford. However, Mr. Maxwell is hoping for a raise from his temperamental boss, but he is none too sure of getting his wish. Next is Betty Lou, who has developed an obsession that her parents don't love her. Nothing they do can convince her she is wrong. She enjoys feeling sorry for herself and almost drives her mother to a nervous breakdown. Wilbur, the practical joker of the family, keeps everyone in an uproar, with his antics. The trouble starts when Betty Lou and her best friend Bernadine dream up a wild kidnap plan to make Betty Lou's parents appreciate her. The whole family is thrown into a panic when a note is found stuck to the front door with an icepick demanding a huge ransom for the return of Betty Lou. The whole town is aroused when the Maxwells go into action. Betty Lou plans to make her grand entry, but an unexpected complication arises. Two real robbers, Muggsy and Elmer, force their way into the house and when Betty Lou returns a real kidnapping takes place. Everyone enjoyed the play and the performance by the characters. 56 “She Fainted Again” These pictures were taken from various scenes during the Junior play. 57 Dr. Harold Fersig.................Jesse Dicus Elaine Blair...................

The play was presented April 18, 1969, during the afternoon and evening in the school auditorium. Its success was due to the help of the sponsors, Mrs. Emily Copeland and Mr. John Orr, and to the promptors and stage hands. The plot was laid in a lonely old house situated on a small island connected to the mainland by only one bridge. Elaine Blair, along with her family, came here to gain her inherited property only to find it in the hands of a mysterious physician, Dr. Fersig. His secret is discovered and he is arrested by Jack Dow and his wife who had been posing as the housekeeper and her deaf-mute son. The mystery-comedy is solved and it ends happily. 59 April Becomes The Junior-Senior Banquet became one of the most memorable highlights of the year for the Junior class. Senior class, and Faculty.

Children must have a matter of readiness including preschool experience and background; such as play with others, trips of interest, stories read and told, etc., when beginning the first year of school. As the child progresses, he gains knowledge and inquires self-help which is one of the roads to school success.

Yes, new discoveries are from a child's curiosity. Playtime is good for new relationships. Newly Discovered . . . . Time played its part. Graduation was at hand for the sixth grade.

Encomiums of stone No sooner thought than said, Nor sooner out than gone, Too quickened for the dead. In low and mournful cries, His earthly journey o'er, Rose tremb'ling in the skies To God with much deplore. Now only He who reigns Can write the sum of this; And only this remains: That He who was, still is! Randall N. Davidson One Bismarck High School boy was fatally injured and another hospitalized in a collision between their automobile and a train early Monday, May 19, at the grade crossing on the Duncan Flanagin farm three miles south of Arkadelphia. Carroll Hughes received a back injury. Danny Beatty, driver of the automobile, died Tuesday, May 20, as a result of injuries received in the accident. Danny Ray Beatty, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Beatty, was active in student affairs at school, being a member of Future Farmers of America, president of the 4-H Club, and a member of the track team. He was a member of the Baptist Church. Funeral was held Thursday, May 22, in the Macedonia Baptist Church near Rison. Burial was at the Macedonia Cemetery. MALVERN DAILY RECORD We dedicate this yearbook to Danny. We will miss him, but memories of him will linger still. 140 v s i °i% HidOMSIVM m
