(Above) Cathy and Vicki hard at work. (Below) Duchess Vicki Posey (Below) Damsel Cathy Catlett Work for the administration is a year-round job, not just during the school year. Everyday brings new problems, planning and challenging experiences to Superintendent Underwood, Principals Prewett and Watts, Secretaries Cathy Catlett, Elsie Hamilton, Vicki Posey, and Mrs. Rosemary Underwood, federal co- ordinator. Mr. C. R. Underwood’s prob- lems are many and respon- sibilities great but we can put our trust in such a capable individual. As for Mr. Pete Prewett and Mr. Webster Watts, they are just as capable. They are two very dedicated men, understanding in dealing with student’s problems. They all set excellent examples for our own lives. Keeping the office in line, along with business of handling government funds are Mrs. Un- derwood, Mrs. Hamilton, Cathy and Vicki. And if that is not work, nothing is. These people are not only our friends but our leaders. Administration 9 School Board-Parliament of BHS (Above) President Gene Remy (Above) Dr. Charles Chalfanl (Above) Mrs. Pat Curry Just as Parliament was the law making body for the colonies, the school board is for the Booneville Public Schools. This board makes the rules and deci- sions which apply to the student body as a whole. Plans for a new school are being made at present. Steps toward this have required much devotion and time of the members. We feel sure that with these fine peo- ple representing the district, great im- provements can be expected in the future for the school system.

Records are kept on each student which can be of assistance in finding where one’s special talents or interests lie. Not only are files kept in the guid- ance office hut pamphlets on different colleges, careers and training schools can be found. Also, yearbooks from different schools throughout the area are there to give the student an idea of life on his desired college campus. If one has a problem, he can feel sure that the guidance office is a good place to discuss it. Problems are kept in confi- dence and Mr. Culps and Mrs. Guise will do all they can to help solve them.

Guidance 11 English-Contributions From Many Foreign Languages Over the years, English has gained many contributions from foreign languages. Any culture has to have a way of communication and expres- sion of self. We, fortunately, have adopted words, meanings and phrases from the Dutch, German, Spanish, French, Indians and others who first settled our country. Here at BHS, not only are new words being added every day to our rapidly expanding vocabulary but our writing abilities, with the help of a composition course is being developed. Understanding and ap- preciation of many literary works are taught to students who will cherish them for generations to come, just as our forefathers handed down their love of finer qualities to their descen- dants. English 13 Parlez Vous Francais? (Above) Conlessa Roberta Green (Above) Students repeat French phrases. “Do you speak French?” This one sen- tence was probably asked frequently by French settlers as they came to this coun- try. We have more French and French- oriented words in our English vocabulary than we realize. So Mrs. Roberta Green teaches students how to speak, write and read French. In parts of Louisiana, French is still spoken, and with French Canadians to the north, it is an added advantage to one’s education to know a second language. (Below) Al and Jim listen to French records. (Below) Mrs. Green conjugates French verbs 14 French Freedom of Speech Forever Freedom of speech is the ability to say privately or publicly, what one believes. In colonial days, freedom of speech was limited. It was very hard to express their needs or opinions without punishment from British officials. Today this is a privilege we enjoy. And here at BHS, Miss Rebecca Knight aids students in exercising this right. Today, speaking clearly and intelligently is a necessity for any type of work or opportunity to talk before any audience. So here at BHS begins the first step to keeping one of our liberties. (Above) Students listen attentively to a speech. (Below) M iss Knighl gives examples on board. (Below) Jan delivers her speech.

In 1735, John Peter Zenger was put on trial for printing attacks on the governor of New York in his paper. The jury, which wasir accordance with English law, found him not guilty and he returned to edit his paper. This was the first step in the fight for freedotr of the press. The Journalism department here publishes a monthly school paper, “Bearcat Eyes”, together with special issues, such as Quil Quotes. Journalism I students learn to write effective news, sports, and feature stories. Journalism II furnishes the columnists with theii own column appearing in every issue. Also from Journalism classes, photographers and annual staff members are born and raised. The Journalism department and their sponsor, Mrs. Lavone Strickland, work extremely hard all year to publish an outstanding yearbook and paper. (Below) Journalism I puts paper together. 16 Journalism (Below) Familiar papers to the Annual Staff. V I. A. N N I N ti s (Above) Sophomores learn lo use research books. Library-Pages From the Past Our high school library is not only a place for reference work and reading enjoyment but it is a place where one can go and relive the days of the past. Stories and true accounts of the mold- ing of our nation are pictured in the words written in the many books belonging to the library. Mr. Avon Elder, school librarian, is deeply concerned with building up the library. Although no new books were placed on the shelves this year, three new sets of encyclopedias, two maps and audio visual equipment were added. Mr. Elder is also responsible for the maga- zines and newspapers in study hall which everyone enjoys so much. Student helpers assist Mr. Elder in checking in and out books, helping stu- dents find books and needed informa- tion. Together they keep the library run- ning smoothly.

The field is always expanding with new problems, and solutions are being added every day. Math is used daily by everyone whether we realize it or not. Here at BHS starting in the freshman year, two credits of math are required for graduation. One may obtain these credits in general math, senior math, algebra I or II, geometry or advanced math. Much thought and reasoning must go into applying the right principles to a problem. Therefore, math can be a very hard and challenging course if complete concentration is not pul to use. In addi- tion to solving the problems, the habit of concentration carries over into other subjects as well as everyday life.

The Special Education Department in the Booneville school is one of sin- cere devotion and determination. Mr. Gay Preston instructs the class which is in its fourth year here. The main purpose of the class is to leach the basic building blocks of any education: reading, writing and arithmetic. M rs. Mae Guise helps students in reading class which is oriented toward mastery of special reading skills. The fringe benefits of love, gratitude and a sense of accomplishment by the students far surpass any other con- siderations for these two instructors.

On the other hand, the age of the world’s history is undetermined. But these two histories, as all histories are, are related by one very important factor: people. People create the events that shape history. Although places, limes, and ideas may change, the thirst for new adventure, discoveries and understanding of the past is never ending. We are fortunate to have the fine social studies department that we do. Geography, Civics, and American History are taught to Junior high students. Beginning in the tenth grade, U. S. History, a requirement for gradua- tion, Arkansas History, World Cultures and American Government. (Left) Sir Carl Miller. (Below) Eraulein Pat Pace. Of Human Events . ..

Learning From The Past-In The Present- For The Future (Above) Professor Alan Guise Thanks lo “American ingenuity” we are ranked tops in the most scientifically advanced nation today. We have taken knowledge from all countries and the many varied hypothesis over the years and have come up with new techniques, in- ventions and medicines that not only help people today but will better all mankind tomorrow. General Science, Life Science, Biology', Chemistry' and Physics are the courses offered to the students of BHS. Aside from the use of textbooks and experi- ments, open discussions and new ideas are an important and welcomed part of learning in the science department. Yet with all the new discoveries there are so many unanswered questions. It is essential that we do learn from the past, in the present, for the future. (Above) Sophomores study before a lab test.

While other nations revolve around art we revolve around business. And in order to keep the heart healing typing 1 and II. accounting and shorthand are taught by Mrs. June Culps. In typing I students learn the basic fundamentals and the keyboard. I he second year of typing is somewhat more ad- vanced with the prime interest lying in the areas of increasing speed and business forms. Accounting is devoted to keeping records and practice sets in bookkeeping, and learning skills which will help in a job as well as personal life. Shorthand will aid anyone who plans to enter the secretarial field where it is vital. (Below) The tools of the trade. (Below) Students strive for better timed writings. Business 25 Shades From The Past (Above) Arlisl Don Smith. Art is creation on paper or on canvas. It is talent that is condoned or it is junk that is condemned, all depending on one’s opinion. In the Art classes, I and II, the basic instructions are taught. Eventually portraits, landscapes and still lifes are drawn. The students learn to use char- coal, ink. pastels, watercolors, and oils. Much time and effort go into every drawing. Art is certainly something to appreciate for it is the artist himself we see on paper. The 1976 Annual Staff would like to give a special thanks to Tammy Swift, Diane Fennell, and Mr. Don Smith for their time, talent and cooperation in the special Bicentennial drawings throughout the yearbook. ✓ 26 Art (Above) Stanley is always surprised by his own talent.

E. one learns self discipline, sportsmanship and competitive spirit. Baseball, softball, volleyball, basket- ball are all part of class plus the all too- familiar calisthenics. P. E. can not only be educational but fun as well. Girls also have twelve weeks of health where they learn care of the body and first aid. Coaches Bradley and Rippy teach boys’ P.

For building, raising crops and knowing how to care for these things were as es- sential then as they are now. lodav Agriculture is taught by Mr. Jerry' McDonald. He instructs students in areas of shopwork where mechanical drawing, woodworking, surveying, welding and sheet metal are studied. Vocational Orientation is offered to the junior high students. The skills and techniques that are used in the shop are taught thoroughly in the classroom before enter- ing shop work.

Even today the modern housewife carries on the most important work of all, keeping the home and family running smoothly. Mrs. Diana Wilkins helps prepare the girls for future lives in their own homes. Starling with an eighth grade class throughout high school, sewing, cooking, home planning, child development, money management, home hygiene and home nursing are all part of the Home Economics program. Not only will this knowledge aid future housewives but may promote such careers as nutritionists, fashion designing, and textile merchandising for Home Ec. Students.

Keeping the school in smooth running condition are the custodians who paint, sweep, repair and pick up around the school, inside and out. Their work days begin before school and end after we leave and even after we leave for summer. During the summer months the custodians work extremely hard to pre- pare the school building and grounds for the fall rush of students and teachers. The lunchroom cooks are very cooperative and efficient when the meals are being planned, cooked and served to rushed students. We are all certainly grateful to these 'unsung heroes.’ (Above I. to r.)

It is the main governing body of the school concern- ing students. The council plays a large role in the school, such as taking charge of the Homecoming parade, and decorating for Christmas. Under the direction of Mr. Gene Lit- tleton, the club encourages good stu- dent-faculty relationship and tries to better BHS by providing some of the things needed. Another important group of people taking part in the school system is the fire marshals. They are kept busy with fire drills and checking to prevent fires. (Front row, 1„ to R.) B. Dupree, S.

After its second year at BHS the Future Business Leaders of America are still going strong with their monthly meetings and various activities. They started the year off right by being the only club to enter a float in the Homecoming parade. After the excite- ment of Homecoming was over the members settled down to more serious matters, such as having local business- men talk to the club. Membership is opened to any student in grades ten through twelve interested in the business field and who is currently enrolled in a business course or was pre- viously enrolled in one. Their money-making project is the annual King Queen of Hearts Con- test. FBLA Prepares Business Leaders for the Future (Below, fronl row, I. lo r.) N. Martin, J. Lewis, S. McLean, T. Miller, I).

The Senior Beta Club, started in 1957, is an organization devoted to strengthening character and leadership in its fellow members. Membership is open only to grades tenth thru twelfth and to those with a B average in their grades. The club sponsors the annual Mr. M iss BHS contest in which the girls in competition are judged by their beauty, talent, and poise. The boys are chosen through penny contributions. The Beta banquet is one of the high- lights of the year along with Beta con- vention. (Bottom row, L to R.) L. Wade, J. Williams, G. Barnard, S. Underwood,S. McLean. M. Boersma, I).

Girls who have taken a home eco- nomics are eligible to be a member of the Booneville Chapter of Future Home- makers of America. Through FHA, girls learn the arts of sewing, cooking, and basics of planning a home. They attend federation meetings and clinics where they study leadership and become aware of the many talents needed to be a successful homemaker. Awards for club spirit and leadership are given each year to girls who excelled in these areas. The club also sponsors the Betty Crocker Homemaker test. 38 FHA Sewing is one of many things learned through FHA. It must be spotless! Better the Goal for FHA (Bottom. L to R.) Mrs. D. Wilkins.

The Booneville Chapter of Future Farmers of America is an outstanding group of fine young men and suprisingly enough they even have their share of female members. The Club members study how to judge livestock, dairy- cattle and pro. ducts, poultry, land, and cuts of meat to prepare themselves for competition. They attend FFA camp in the summer and in the fall they attend the Arkansas Oklahoma State Fair and Livestock Show in Fort Smith. The main event of the year is the FFA Father-Son Banquet at which awards are presented for outstanding achievement. FFA Teaches Importance of American Farmers i ns (Below, front row, I. to r.) Mr. J.

They begin practic- ing in the summer for the many pep rallies, parades, football and basketball games that lie in store for them. Between all these different activities they somehow find time to prepare for the annual Christmas concert and for the regionals which are held each spring. There each member performs before a panel of judges and then they are ranked accordingly. Another activity includes Senior Clinic in which members compete with band students from different areas in order to perform in regional band. It’s a lot of hard work and many hours of strenuous practicing but it pays off in the end. Greg Barnard, Drum Major. 44 Band Band 45 A one, and a two, and a three . . . (Above, L to R.) S.

The Bearcats fell short of their stale championship hopes, hut had a fine year in going farther in the playoffs than any previous Bearcat team. They opened their season by defeat- ing Marshall 49-0, then falling to a strong Van Buren team 6-20. A journey to Clarksville provided a 23-7 victory over their first conference foe. Next it was back home defeating Dan- ville 37-6 in one of the best efforts of the year. They had an off game in losing to Waldron 8-10, but came back with four straight victories: Mansfield 35-6. O .ark 20-0. Atkins 34-0, and Charleston 30-3. After the 0-0 tie with Baris, it was on to the playoffs with a perfect district record. In the first game, the Cats looked im- pressive by beating Joe T. Rovinson 39-6 before a home crowd. They struggled past in a nerve- wracker 18-6, then finally fell to the State Champs, Prescott 0-21.

Not the Reveille Staffers! 140 Reveille Staff Born Free and Life Is Worth Living The Greal Promise of this great nation is that we as Americans are Born Free. We have the opportunity to achieve the best that is within us, to use it for the betterment of ourselves, our school, community, and nation. In America from the days of George Washington, citizens prized their individual rights, their privileges as American citizens, their freedoms, and their liberties. We are truly a Great Nation. We have the greatest single asset that few people enjoy elsewhere: The Freedom of Choice. And this makes us Born Free.” Our privilege of being “born free” did not come easy. It was bought by the bravery and the endurance of hardships by the Pilgrims, by bloodshed in the Revolutionary War, by American soldiers in the Civil War. and it was protected by the millions of American men in World Wars I and II. It is up to each of us to exercise this right in seeking our freedom. Truly, freedom is the most blessed heritage that Americans have. The American ideal of democracy is perhaps best expressed in these inspiring words of the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. . .Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” Almost any day we have to listen to a tirade of what's wrong with America?” This can be expected in our troubled times. We’ve endured all kinds ol cynics for 200 years. We’ve had ourshare of the disenchanted since 1776. Speak out for America. Let’s pledge ourselves and our services to make the American Dream even more vital, based on the conviction that this land we love will en- dure, prosper, and grow in strength. We, are Americans, “born free,” and we are going to remain that way. But Only Worth Living ’Cause You’re Born Free V
