The first major performance by the Girls Glee Club was at the Teachers Meeting in Springfield in October. Two students from our orchestra, Edna Cassidy and Keith McGowan were chosen by audition to perform in the Missouri All-State Orchestra which played for the Missouri State Teachers Meeting in Kansas City in November. Ninety students from all of our musical organizations took part in our two-night production of an operetta, “Oh Doctor! The entire musical play was accompanied by a twenty-piece orchestra. This was the first operetta to be given in Buffalo for several years. This school year, the Buffalo Orchestra and Band both received “Ex- cellent ratings at the Sub-District Music Contest in Lebanon and at the District Music Contest in Springfield. Our orchestra was qualified to go to the State Music Contest in Columbia on May 2. Our clarinet quartet also qualified for the State Contest. At the State Contest, our orchestra received a “Superior rating, the highest given any school with under 750 pupils enrolled. The clarinet quartet received a “Good” rating. Our band had 50 members, our orchestra 40 members, and our Girls’ Glee Club had 66 members. 51 52 53 Athletics Another very fine year in athletics for Buffalo High School closed on May 15, 1953. Many exciting, thrilling moments passed; many victories were won; many fine gestures of respect and sportsmanship were demonstrated, and many trophies were received. Many of those anxious moments will be relived for a long time to come. The greatest achievement during the year was accomplished by the Bison varsity basketball team which qualified for the State Class B Tournament at Cape Girardeau. Only sixteen teams in the state qualified for the meet. The Bisons were eliminated in their first game by the Savannah High team by a score of 5 8 to 5 0. The best record made by any single team was compiled by the girls softball team which played an undefeated schedule, winning twelve consecutive games. Their season was climaxed by winning the Buffalo Girls’ Invitational Tournament. Also the varsity basketball team won the Buffalo Invitational Tournament, placed second in the Sub-regional tournament, and second in the regional. The Bisons ended in a two-way tie with Senior High of Springfield for the Skyline Conference Championship in its first year of operation. The Bisons ended the season with a 27 won 9 lost record. Deryl Bradley, Charles Crosby, and Edward Deck were voted on the All-Conference squad. Deryl Bradley was voted on the second All-State team by sports writers and referees throughout the state. The Bisonnettes volleyball team played a winning schedule, and also won second places in the Crocker and Conway Invitational tournaments. The Bison Junior High basketballers won 10 games and lost 7. They won 3rd in Camdenton Invitational, and 3rd in the Buffalo Invitational tournament. The only losing schedule was played by the Bison softballers which won 4 while losing 6 games. The track program is growing steadily. Several meets were entered. The season was climaxed on May 16, when the 7th, 8th, 9th, and prevue track teams traveled to the S. M. S. oval in Springfield for an all day affair with Greenwood. Boys who lettered this year of 1953 in track were as follows: Charles Clark, Robert Nelson, Harold Stanton, Charley Pierce, Deryl Bradley, Jimmie Moore, Dick Foster, Dale Vest, Louis Maddux, Warren K. Vest, Norman Nixon, Bill Sharp, Tom McKee, and Donald Pinkley. Regardless of what the more biased person might say or think, success or failure in any type of athletics participation cannot be measured in teams of winning or losing contests. The many intangible qualities that athletes must absorb far out- weigh the winning motive. Let us mention respect for opponents, authority, co- operation, teamwork, fair play, determination, friendship, acquisition of good health habits, and how to be a modest winner and a gracious loser. It is hoped those quali- ties were acquired by athletes of 1952- 53 and will be acquired by all the Bison athletes that follow in the years to come.
