The members of the staft started the year off by forming a list of merchants ot Buchanan who are interested in supporting the an- nual. This patronage and the sales ot the books furnish the funds for publishing the Pines. Each year the staff sponsors the Homecoming activities. To begin the promotion of sales, a skit entitled, l Love My Pines, was presented to the high school in the early part of January. The members of the staff spent their time setting up the pages for the tour deadlines which had to be met during the year. QL. to RJ, SEATED: Sharon Stetler, Moralee Trapp, and Jeannie Herman.

The members assist the Librarian in operating and promoting the use of the library. The club is made up of girls in grades nine through twelve who have a high scholastic rating. The regional meeting for student librarians is a highlight of the year. Representatives are chosen from our club to attend this meeting, The club meets once a month according to our constitution, but often special meetings are called if necessary. This year there are fourteen members in the club. The officers for the club are chosen after the students have had an opportunity to work to- gether for a short time. We feel that our officers are definitely the leaders of our organization because of their ability to vvorlc with other students and interest in improving the library. 84 Shelving Books Patty Waldo, Jean Bilotti, ond M g t Fisher Here's Where to Find It Kathleen Smith, Betty Hittl . is .

The editors often do other varied iobs on the staff as well as editing. Working under these editors is the body of the staff, including the writers, typists, artists and printers. The writers interview and write articles for the typists to type, first on the dummy sheets and then the stencils. The artists then put the headlines and tlll-ins on the stencils. The stencils are proof read and okayed by the editors before being given to the printers. To finish up the iob, the printers run off the pages and arrange and staple them. The circulators distribute the Buckhorn fourth hour every three weeks. Editors Gnodtke, Todd Hamlin. BUCKHQRN STAFF FRONT ROW, I.. to R.: J. Shaver, R. Shaw, J. Shanahan, T. Bailey, SECOND ROW: V.

Under the guidance of Mr. Ahnert, our instructor, we learned the fun- damentals of the Spanish language and worked at increasing our abili- ties in the reading and speaking of Spanish. To aid us in the comprehension and understanding of the language, Mr. Ahnert pro- vided a number of records containing both well-known Spanish songs and the new and fascinating class-type instruction through music. We wish to thank Mr. Ahnert for his advice and cooperation and his interesting and informative lingual interpretations in our Spanish classes. 89 MUCHOS AMIC-305 FRONT ROW L to R Sharon Miller, Dorothy Wallace, Elizabeth Judy Liska, Sherin Morris, Ermadean Matlock Miss Cronkhite Ann Moore Janice Amiel Judith Herman, Beatrice Pinkston.

The Electronics Club was originally founded to further the interest of electronics in this school. We are now affiliated with the JETS club which stands for Junior Engineering Training in Schools. For our activities we make trips to places of interest such as museums, television stations, and industrial concerns. Also each member is re- quired to have a proiect to work on. Some examples are Jim White's ham radio set and Gene Watson's Hi-Fi outfit. One of our functions is to operate the equipment related to electronics for most school activities. At basketball games we take care of the mi- crophones, at dances we play the records, and we also take care of the spotlights, stagelights, and sound equipment when the auditorium is used. .

FUTURE FARMERS The FFA is a national organization known as the Future Farmers of America which strives to develop leadership, improve citizenship, inspire cooperative attitudes, and de- velop the agriculture interests ofthe members. To develop leadership, they hold leadership contests such as farm forum, parliamentary procedure, public speaking, and soil iudging. To improve citizenship they learn the value of teamwork and cooperation. The way they run their meetings is some- thing like a government, To inspire cooperative attitudes they have a basketball team that plays other chapters. They also take an annual trip to Ludington and participate in other activities. They 92 Fred Kline and Don Fernwalt discuss the display during FFA Week. GF AMERICA also sell garden seeds and screw drivers for fund raising activities. To develop agriculture interests the class goes on field trips.

Although the Debate Team did not win a large per- centage of their debates, the members all benefited from their experience in debating. There is a lot of work involved in preparing for the debates, but it is all more than worthwhile since the students gain experience in presenting their ideas to others, thinking in a clear-cut, logical manner, and developing their interests in national and international affairs. The members of this year's affirmative team were Toni Bilotti, Yvette Guhl, and Virginia Moore. The negative team was composed of Dave Nelson, Blair Clark, and Karen Poorman.

This team had a good year with six wins and three losses. This was quite an improvement considering that as an eighth grade team they won only one game. Coach D'Agostino's team showed marked improvement as the season progressed. A good proof of this was the second Niles clash which the Buck freshmen won after losing the first one 36 to lO. These boys will comprise next year's reserve team and the future varsity. lt can be said that if this team continues to improve as it has our basketball future looks bright.

This year's team record was seven and two. The boys, after winning the first five games, had a rocky ending. Despite this, the talent on the eighth grade squad looks good for the future. Nineteen boys comprised the seventh grade basketball team. Coach Kanga's team won three games while losing two. Buchanan lost both the first and last game. The high point of the season for the seventh grade was the 21 to 19 victory over Berrien Springs in the final seconds of the game. This team had fair height and showed plenty of promise for the future.

This team is coached by Mr. Harold Pendley, a former wrestler for Michigan State University. High school and college wrestling is much different from that seen on television. lt is a sport consisting wholly ot bodily contact, but holds that apply pressure or may injure a participant are illegal. A wrestler must be in top physical and mental condition since a match consists ot six hard minutes, and he must be able to execute many different holds. Conditioning is one ot the most important points ot wrestling. Since there are twelve weight classes, a wrestler must work hard to main- tain his weight and remain in the weight class in which he does the best iob ot wrestling. This year the Buchanan team has wrestled eight matches with the teams of Portage, New Carlisle, Dowagiac, South Bend, and St. Joseph, plus the tournament matches that are held in East Lansing in March. Everyone is greatly encouraged by the progress the team has made since the season started and is sure that wrestling is here to stay. We would like to thank the faculty, student body, and townspeople for the support they have given us.
