At times tasks confront us which make apparent our limitations, however we proceed with confidence that we will obtain the answer somewhere or somehow. After all our “parents” have faced similar problems, our teachers are trained to assist us, and school build- ings are provided for this purpose. Consequently we dream of the future, planning for bigge r - bette r things, which loom before us with expectations as glorious as the morning sun rise. This yearbook will remain a per- manent record of our accomplishments toward this end during the 1951-52 school year. LD “ISO T MR. H. M.

The school provides equipment, however it is naturally limited and we are frequently forced to call upon others to lend special equipment or skills. The generosity of the “Business Men of Buchanan” makes possible the successful accomplishment of much which would otherwise remain but hopes or dreams. We therefore dedicate the Colonnade of ’52 to these people. 1 . . Administration MR. SPRINKLE Assistant Principal MR.

Naturally the burdens confront- ing these people have been heavier than will be those of Buchanan’s future seniors, as sub- sequent years will find us with a full senior class. The future graduates of Buchanan -High School will ever be indebted to these seniors and their predecessors who laid the ground work and paved the way. juniors Edgar Bowers Emma Broughman Ms V Delores Bryan Kerry Camper Peggy Camper Bernice Carter Winifred Harper Buddy Hayth Donald Helms Grade Higgins The Junior Class has probably been the most stimulating school year for all of us. At this point we students have successfully overcome the uncertainty and apparent hazards of our Freshmen and Sophomore years. We have reached the threshold at which we shall come in to our own as mature individuals. We are the understudies of our senior lead- ers today for the responsible positions which will be ours tomorrow. The signi- ficant fact associated with this class is due to its distinctive honor as the first senior group adequately trained at B.H.S., The first group to have five years of high school. uchanan {juniors Richard Secrist Lacy Smith Raymond Smith re(i S, e n e SV ei Evelyn Terry Elsie Tolley Betty Linkenhoker Billy Lugar Bruce Lyons Rosa McCormick Barbara Proffitt Tresa Quarles Ralph Rice Donnie Ripley Mary Ellen Watts Nancy Weade Cleo Wickline Shirley Wilkerson Judy Williams Norma Wright igh Judy Ashburn Evelyn Booth Webster Booze t a S ara ° Virginia Broughman Our grandparents look at us in a bewildered manner when we refer to our youthful pledgelings as adolescents , however were they in the position of the Juniors and Seniors they too would realize that these so called “wise fools” are typically such creatures. Imitating the “wise old owl” they serenely and meditatively look down upon the seemingly foolish antics of these energetic chippies. The school el- ders have already learned through experience the growing pains which are affecting these youngsters who look upon the passing of their Fresh- man year as if they and come of age, yet school would not be the same without their spirit.

So it is with our freshmen, reduced from the status of king-pins in the grade school to lesser beings in this advanced educational institution. For a time they flounder about, however they soon adjust to their new home and feel that they are actually growing up; despite the hinderances of the “wise fools”, who assume it their personal responsibility to orient these so called “rats”.

EIGHTH GRADE We of the Eighth Grade have found this to be not only a year of ex- citement, but one of enlightment. At last our dreams were realized — we entered the high school building ! We are indeed overjoyed at dis- covering a new phase of school life. Now we are looking forward with pride and anticipation to being Freshmen next year.

Composed of students, who are best qualified for leadership, this body helps our school in many ways. This being the government body of our school, sets an example for all the others to follow. It has made money in many ways to help the school buy necessities which might have not been gotten otherwise. This organization promotes good sportsmanship and builds the morale of our school to a high standing. This activity gives the students a feeling that they have a say so in how their school is run. It draws the students, in this way, closer to their teachers. Later on it will help them to understand the government in our community, and how it is run. This year the Faculty Advisors are Miss Mary Louise Cunningham and Mr. B. T. Norris. OFFICERS President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Director of Publicity . . . . R. C.

Their goal is to create an active interest in Dramatics in the school. Our purpose is: To develop dramatic talent and to cultivate a taste for the best things in dramatic art. TENNIS CLUB The tennis club was newly organized this year. Although we have not had tennis at the school for several years it was one of the more pop- ular sports participated in years ago. The courts having been allowed to deteriorate over the years, will have to be rebuilt. This is hoped to be accomplished and also the development of a formidable competitive team. Any who have tried it can realize that tennis while looking easy to play from the sidelines, is actually one of the most difficult games to play properly; however, with proper supervision and instruction any- one can learn to play a fair game. While we may not have any Don Budges or Bill Tildens, Buchanan’s representatives will hold their own on the courts .

At each meeting the student trys to guess the scores of various sports events for the coming weeks, an average of each boy’s selections are kept. The ultimate purpose of the or- ganization is to promote a healthy interest in sports events, as well as the proper sportsman- like attitude . Safety Patrol The School Safety Patrols were organized on the premise that police, school personnel, parents, and pupils themselves should assume cooperative responsibility for the protection of all school children going to and from school. Every effort to prevent unnecessary risk or injury is justi- fied if a student is to be given his rightful opportunity to grow up and profit by the time and effort spent on his education.

ATHLETICS Much interest is centered around athletics in our school. Although the girls athletics are fewer than the boys, they do their best with what the weaker sex is offered. While those big masculine bullies race for a touchdown or score a goal, the girls are in there trying to compete with the boys for the limelight. It doesn’t matter whether our team is league leader or cellar dweller, every player pulls together as a magnetic force so as to promote teamwork. Even though the Blue Devils are defeated at times, we boast a formidable squad headed by the mastery of our coaches who teach us that it’s not that we win but how we play our game !

However, on our athletic field, hundreds gather to see the game as it is played by our “professionals’ . Whether it be professional, amateur, or .scholastic , it is foot- ball and it is great! It is a game full of excitement and challenge. When you watch a player weave his twisting pattern up a football field you scream for a touchdown. Even if our team is out-rrranned or out-weighed by a rival, they are in the game fighting harder be- cause the odds are against them. Football interest is sited everywhere in town. Football is in the air and when a day like this arrives on a calender, football is the talk of the office, stores, and workers everywhere. Time goes by and the “big attraction lines up on the gridiron so that people in top-coats with school colors flying from their lapels can witness the greatest of all athletics. With all power our school will score their touchdown in the old unspectacular, but relentless way! football Zeam MEMBERS: R. C.

H. S. every girl and boy has “basketball on the brain . In all Physical Education Classes basketball is played. Before school takes up students are out on the court playing with a volleyball or basketball. During the lunch hour girls get out on the court and practice long, short, foul, hook, and new shots. The entire school has to witness this from November until March, annually. Experience is the best teacher and the students are getting into practice. The girls start learning a few techniques of basketball in the 7th grade. In the 8th grade they get their first real experience on the court. Then comes the major field- Varsity Team !

One game is played here and a return match is played at their school. The experience that one gains from playing here and there is valuable. Whether we win or lose, it ' s all the same because both guest and host are very co-operative. While we’re at other schools we are made to feel at home. In turn we try to make guests of our school “be at home at B. H. S. ’’ « H Howard Lawrence Co-Managers Bruce Lyons Cheer tenders Whether it be a new school yell or a big game every student goes through cheering mo- tions with the cheerleaders because they are so full of pep for B. H. S. When a game is ending and the players are making a futile attempt for a come-back, a cheer from the grand- stand can almost produce that touchdown or goal. In every school there’s a need for school spirit and the cheerleaders encourage a fellow or gal to be a sport because of the cheers which ring out for our team. Even an extra yell is cast toward the opponent if a spectacular event occurs. No doubt about it, our cheerlea- ders are on the B-E-A-M and they cheer us along to v-i-c-t-o-r-y.
