love is . . . Building a life life... is like a pile of stones waiting to be found by each one of us. it is not to be neglected, the stones wait for each individual to make something beautiful out of them, they wait to be molded into great shapes that will nev- er crumble or fall, it is up to each of us alone to build a tower of life from that pile of stones, it will not always be an easy job, though, at times the stones will be heavy and hard to grasp; but, as we build, they will get lighter and more beautiful as each one is placed, our goals in life should be set at building that tower by taking our dreams and turning them into reality, when at last we finish that tower, we will know we have built something great and everlasting... a life, that is when we will truly find the real meaning of life... a DIVINE, never--ending LOVE, sandra Tighter. 3 J f a new day, a new way and new eyes to see the dawn go your way i'll go mine and carry on -david erosby Being togetheR attaining a qoaL mr. mallory congratulates graduates, danny burd and tina montgomery and their parents, mr. and mrs. loyal burd and mr. and mrs. bob montgomery 7 . . .

Yet, even in the best of earthly things, there is always some flaw or detraction that mars the quality of it. Let us realize that each human is filled with the capacity for goodness, character, and wisdom; but each must be developed or fall short of its full potential. Left to seed by themselves, these qualities may start to bud only to be nipped in flower by the cold frostiness of society. Untrained and undeveloped, they decay and lapse into a limbo of uselessness; and the mind, left with no bounds or limits on its action, turns from a flower of intelligence to a weed. We must foster the growth of principles and dignity which we humans seem to have lost since we have become “free to do as we please and since we have time to enjoy life. jeff bates, freshman 18 tovvep of joy the very substance of the ambitious is the shadow of a dream.

Life the yeaR -1973 looking Back the elder was a quiet sort of person; he didn't talk much, we called him the elder, because he was older than anyone else, or just for lack of anything else to call him. but tonight, he seemed to be full of talk, (perhaps it was the incense) and it was mostly about the old days, days when things were strange and different, in particular the year 1973, his last year in what they called high school... ’’that was the year of the terrible ice storm, he said with a glimmer beginning to show in his eye. all the adults became dismayed at the glimmer, for they knew what came next. there was ice everywhere, he continued, and the electricity was out for as much as a week in some places. of course, that's no longer possible since they changed the water. i heard someone near me say. but the elder simply didn't hear. Mwe switched principals in 1973, he said with a grin coming across his face, mr. dull for mr. kirk- sey, sort of like changing horses in midstream. little sister opened her mouth and said, ’’what's a... before she was escorted out of the room, (i still wonder if she would have said principal or horse?) the elder continued ignoring the unheard of out- burst. ’’and of course the vocational technical school in louisburg was opened in 1972. ” even the children were a little disturbed at this statement, he was evidently further along than we had thought, yes, we had a lot of fun at our new vo- tech school the people were now beginning to drift toward a feeling of restlessness, i thought it was odd for he had never before continued on one of his rages for this long, however, the children had become fascinated and the elder seemed to thrive on their enthusiasm. 85 that was the same year that we got our new football stadium, they called it an athletic field, he cackled, at this point, several more of the children had to be re- moved. the elder was obviously bringing out corrupt ideas in the minds of the young, but still he continued, do you know the best part about 1973? his voice reached a new high, and in it i heard a note i had never heard before and it made me feel strange, that was the year i graduated! and with that, he began to scream in hysterical laughter, he looked very strange- ly pale as they carried him out, and i felt a sadness pass as i watched the last per- son from 1973 pass from our midsts. dedication addRess- Bison athletic field tonight football comes of age here in buffalo. it's been a struggle, i imagine that when football first came to our area about a decade ago, it was a pretty mysterious thing to a lot of folks, and while the young men of dallas county were trying to learn the fine points of football, they lost a lot of games, it wasn’t until 1968 that buffalo football finally managed to produce a winning record, we had a fine year in 1969, losing only one game; and though we’ve slipped a bit since then, i think everybody knows that we’re on our way back, and this time we're coming back to stay. 86 here on this field tonight, and on so many like it all across america, the young men of our country will be playing a game that will teach them many valuable lessons about life, like life, football contains the ele- ments of pain and joy, of frustration and satisfaction, and of failure and success, football players learn that there is a price that must be paid for success, these boys began paying that price back in mid-august, in the hot, dry, dusty days of summer—days that may be a little hard for most of us to remember as the cold wind blows across the field tonight, but they remember, they remember the sweat stinging in their eyes, the cotton-mouthed thirst, the gasping for breath, the giving of just a little more when it seemed as though there was just no more to give, this, and so much more, you learn when you play football, and i suggest to you that this experience as a boy, makes for a better man later in life. let's just stop for a moment and consider why we have this fine new field. it's because our school admin- istrators, our school board members, and mostly because you — the people who support this school dis- trict — have had enough foresight to see the value of such a facility. it s the same reason we have the field house, our own radio station and printing shop, our excellent modern elementary school and the ex- citing new vo-tech school in louisburg. it's because, for a little town in the ozarks, buffalo is something kind of special. for a long time buffalo has been basketball country, and it will continue to be. but we're growing up. foot- ball has served its apprenticeship and is now ready to stand as an equal partner with basketball, i know dallas county sports fans will root for our football teams in the fall and our basketball teams in the winter, so let's make it buffalo basketball and buffalo football, equal partners from now on; because with the dedi- cation of this field, we are indeed saying to the world that buffalo football has come of age. and so tonight, for all the bisons — older bisons with their remembered dreams of glory — bisons of to- day who will proudly wear the black, white and red on this field tonight — the young bisons who wait im- patiently for their brief moment in the spotlight — transplanted bisons like myself who bring the special enthusiasm of the convert — yes, and even the generations of bisons yet unborn, who will run and play and grow on this field some day — for all bisons, we dedicate this field tonight and proudly name it: the bison athletic field. 87 By bob lee officeps brenda bass reporter larry shockley vice

how do you say goodbye to something that you have loved, disagreed with, understood, honored, ridiculed, downgraded, and cherished all the same time? you never know really where you're going until you get there; you never know what's at the top of a tower until you reach its peak, just as the world looks different at the top of a tower, you look back once you've reached your goal and see everything different- ly than you saw it as you climbed up. we have reached the top of one of our towers; and looking back, we say, goodbye and thank you, buffalo high, for giving us what will pro- bably turn out to be the four best years of our lives. farewell, dear old bhs. may your halls continue to be blessed with such brilliant and inspiring young prodigies of the fu- ture as were the graduating class of 1973. good- bye to those selected few who believe that attend- ance at bhs is more important than the academic side of school... may you and your superior judge ment carry on and never fail, as long as it is fair and just to everyone concerned... you underclassmen probably don't understand attention! at ease, dismissed! that; you may not see it that way, because, like we said, you're still climbing. keep on towering, 172 jim price russell vogels Befope you stARt climBinq you’pe on the Bottom with no way to qo But up! this year iTm graduating from high school with- out sadness or misgivings, our elders say these years are the most fun, but time can on- ly prove if they were and if ifve learned any- thing worthwhile, graduation from high school is only the end of phase one, not my life, i haven't reached the top of the tower. i've on- ly started climbing, sure, i'm happy for the privilege, right, and, indeed, duty to get a basic education, but i'm also very glad to have finished this climb with no chance of returning, i'm graduating from high school this year, but surely my learning process has just begun, to continue for all my time, i have to take my place now on the back row in the school of life, i've almost finished the first school, the first phase of my life, time can only wonder if it has made me grow up or if it has just made me older. kirk lemons graduating is simply the closing of one door in life and the opening of a new one. probably something has been lost in days past, but much has been gained, behind the old door is left good friends, old love, good and bad times, and lessons well learned, behind the new door lies opportunity, new friends, responsibility, new love, may God be with us as we take this new step in life, and may He guide us as we search for happiness and peace of mind, surely it can be found at the top of a tower. junie anderson 173 you may get tipeO anO neeO a Little help on youp way up sitting in a noisy study hall feeling an occasional gust of springtime wind blowing through the open window, over my shoulder, and then to the heater that is stuck on. i want to get up and run off the school campus (and look at the sky and the clouds and all the things that make the world wonderful) without a pass. standing alone in an empty study hall hearing the echoes of yesterday drifting past closed windows, overturned chairs, and then to my memory that is stuck on. mark heady as an underclassman, i've watched a lot of other seniors graduate. i've seen some happy, some sad, but they all went on. where?... to different places to do different things, some came back, but some didn’t, think for a min- ute. how many faces can you remember from the class of ’70 without looking through your annual? well, now the class of '73 joins the ranks of alumni, and i suppose in three years, the seniors of '76 won't remember very many of us. how many '73 seniors will remember their own fellow classmen three years from now? it's like a parting of the way in friend- ships and other things, losing one just gains another; and so we move into the future, realiz- ing that we've yet much to gain. chris lee 174 But don’t stARt down Befope you Reach the highest point up! thoughts of a senior farewell bring confusion, attempts at tactfulness, and, finally, complete candor and truthfulness, why not admit it? i'm looking forward to being out of high school, i've been told many times that someday i’ll look back on these as the best days of my life, perhaps, but i would never repeat them even though there has been a lot of good in them, i want to climb higher and keep finding out more and more. i'll miss the friends i've made here, but i ex- pect to meet many others, i want to keep on going and learning, yes, i'm glad to be going on even though it may be hard, the future holds new ideas, relationships, and experiences. so now's the time to shut the door, close the book, put the pieces in place, and, of course, say farewell to you, too. kathleen miner we are about to take another step in life, we leave behind many dear old friends and many wonderful and sad experiences which couldn't be replaced by anything in the world, we'll enter into a strange new world with new friends, new experiences, and many responsibilities, we will change in this step, some may fall, others may succeed, and many will keep the same pace, as we walk through the steps of life, may we be guided onward and upward to the top of the tower by the Great Protector of mankind. linda condren piscHeL YeaPBOOKS a OWUO Of •« • XX S to K� � «AtClliM «Mb MU lU PfWJ 175 Because, graduation is a paradox, a beginning coming to an end. fears have vanished, accomplish- ments have been attained, and desires have been fulfilled, in these last four years we have obtained the knowledge we need to accom- plish our higher goals. when you get thene, for twelve years we've climbed, but now we are starting again, a new beginning, one with fears, doubts, and hopes, we have the know- ledge to meet these fears and doubts, now we must have the courage, future knowledge will you’ll Be ABle to see be gained while the old we must retain, for truth we must search, the truth must be found, for truth is the basis from which all sound decisions will be made, truth must be at the paRout! top of the tower. ,rI am the way, the truth, and the life.
