TEACHERS WEL COME HOMEROOMS WITH OPEN ARMS! The 1979-80 school year was a year of flrsts for me: first year with a new principal, first year teaching biology and senior math, and first year as a head wrestling coach. lt was my first year coaching three sports - also my last. Although coaching is a very rewarding experience, it does get to be quite time- consuming. There have been been improvements at B. V. this year, but l feel there could be many more. One thing that has not changed, and most certainly needs to be changed, is the poor attitude of so many students. There was theft, destruction, and a total disregard for the rights of others. I feel that this must be Improved in order for B. V. to be a truly great school. This change can only come about with peer pressure. lf the students want a better school, don't just complain - WORK for that change. - Bill Yost - Science Department Left to Right: Mr. William Yost - Earth Science and Biology l.

When I came to Buckeye Valley my first Impression was that on the whole, the stu- dents are wllllng to take more responsibil- ity than city students take. Perhaps this ls because the rural students have learned Ni' 3-.R . rf Business Education Slttlng: Mr. Donald Daffner - Accounting L IL and General Business.

However, one big drawback at Buckeye Valley is the emphasis placed on athletics and extra-curricular activities to the ex- tent that these interfere greatly with the academics, which, to my understanding, are the primary purpose of school. For most students extra-curricular events and athletics are not going to assure a liveli- hood, but serious study and a job well done academically will help when it is time to locate a good job, or develop a career.

And you will find erasers, Of a very different kind, Extremely helpful, if you will try To bear these facts in mind: When you bump someone in a crowd, And almost knock her down, ll! A soft I m sorry! may bring smiles And rub out that frown. Apologies, invariably, Obliterate mistakes: And three small words, I love you! Can erase the worst heartaches.
