You must give some time to your fellow man. Even if it's a little thing, do something for those who have need of man's help, something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it. Albert Schweitzer IT1R and mus mallORy Can a teacher really retire? Paradoxically, the answer is both yes and no. After forty-three years of devoted service to the teaching pro- fession, Mrs. D.A. Mallory this year resigned her present position as home economics teacher at Buffalo High School, having been honored as the second Missourian to receive the Past President's Plaque of the National Home Economics As- sociation of Secondary Schools. She taught the parents and then their children. Has the cycle stopped? Can the cycle end for any teacher who has taught precepts that will be handed down from generation to generation? Relaxing in their home, Mr. and Mrs. Mallory recall many memories—all the wonder- fully joyful events that were counterbalanced by some times of difficulty—all of the many school-related tasks to which they turned their efforts after the last bell. This is the teacher’s cycle. It will continue to exist. A cycle is a period of time in which something happens in a certain order, such as the seasons, life and death, each school day of each school year. A cycle is life—what happens every day and has happened since time began and will keep going until the end of everything. A cycle is the existence of any- thing. Terry Satterfield, Sophomore 7 “May I have your attention please. I hate to interrupt yourclass, but I have a few announcements to make. Tonight is the homecoming game. Our Buffalo Bisons will be playing against the Republic Tigers. Miss Williams tell us that if you want to get a good seat you better get there early and get a ticket. Tonight the new homecoming queen will be crowned. Nancy Janke, reigning homecoming queen 1972-73, will be giving her crown away to the new queen. Seniors are to remember the alumni banquet. The speaker will be Mrs. Katherine Richardson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D.A. Mallory. We would also like to remind you of the homecoming dance sponsored by the Student Council Saturday night. Again, I'm sorry to interrupt your classes. Have a nice weekend. See you Monday.” Moods are simple, miniature parts of us that express exactly the way we feel. If we’re experiencing times of grief or sorrow, chances are that a meeting with an acquaintance will encourage us. Moods can be expres- sed in a variety of ways, by words, voice or action. Yet, perhaps most expressive is the photograph of an unnoticed photographer with a quick eye. He can capture com- pletely each feeling and, with that expression, the mood that is such an important part of life. 12 13 F S omecominq 1974 1940 CLASS A cycle happens because it is natural. A tree is planted, then it begins to grow. In the fall of the year it loses its leaves, but in the spring it again regains its baby coat. A person is born into the world. He grows up in the surrounding of the trees. The person gets older and wiser and realizes that he cannot outlive the tree, but he is happy. He dies when his time is up. This is his earthly cycle. Mike Owens, Freshman maptin CuLLor He was an outdoor boy, a collector of nature’s treasures. He enjoyed God’s world until February 26, 1974. 16 Life |e ever changing pattern of life, m a baby to a girl to a wife, is growing up to be something you want to be. is living up to the person most people see. is the constant moving of energy and space ) a more distant time and a different place. ndy Kay, Freshman A life cycle can be compared to a flower. Flowers go through a cycle. They grow and bloom, then die. People go through a cycle. They’re bom, and they grow and die. Another is born to grow and die. People bloom but very differently from a flower. Flowers bloom and are very beautiful, but people can some- times be very ugly. They can try only to help themselves not others. They can create a cycle for their use only. Most of the time the cycle consists of corruption and misleading other people. This newly created cycle seems fun, and it may increase their wealth. But in later years of the cycle called life, they find out how wrong it was to mislead their brothers. This cycle of corruption grows and blooms and doesn’t wither like the beautiful flowers. It just keeps growing until the end of time. Even though a life cycle ends in a few years, this irrupting cycle can live on. Each person needs to ask himself, “How can I use my mind and try to help other people? How can 1 create beauty such as in the flower when only God can create such a lovely thing?” Nancy Hamacher, Freshman We’ve seen that cycles are all around us, and their effects on us are inevitable. This book in itself is a cycle and when completed, will be started again. We would like to dedicate this book to the Seniors of 1974 and to the time when our underclassmen become Seniors. (4L J (k Editor 1 ayaUL With school’s beginning, there’s a whirl of activities going on. Organizations have membership drives. There’s carnivals, ball- games, and, of course, new acquaintances. Everything is new and exciting and we are eager to get through another year. We feel so good just to be young and alive. “And oh 1 love the life within me. I feel a part of everything I see. And oh I love the life around me. A part of everything is here in me.” - John Denver Activities footBAll team Reaches the top For the first time in its history Buffalo football went right to the top. The 1973 season will go down in the annals of Bison history as—The Year We Won the Conference Title. This may be the first time, but we know that Coach Kennedy and his boys are planning for next year and this “first time” may be just a beginning. The Bisons had many leaders throughout the 73 season; some seniors, some juniors and even a few sophomores. The main man, however, was Charlie Gann, the Bisons 170-pound senior running back. Charlie led the southwest Missouri area in two departments. His 114 points and 1470 yards rushing were not only the best in the area, but also school records. Another school record set in the 73 season was the team’s 3000 yards rushing. In 1974 only 7 seniors graduated, so look out for the ’74 team! 20 1.

Coach’ll kill me if I get it torn. 22 Qo team The Bisons had their best year ever. In 1969 we were in a three-way tic with Branson and Bolivar, but not this year; it was all ours! In the Central Ozark Con- ference this year the Bisons were 6-0 and had an overall record of 8-2. In 1974 only five Bisons graduated, so look out for the 1974-75 team! 1. Bison players winning all conference honors were row 1: Bert Dunham, Steve Ownby, Rick Davis, Charlie Gann, and Mark Gronnigcr; row 2: John Crawford, Dan Crawford, Lee Price, and Dan Bowers. 2. The Junior Varsity offense was led by quarterback Tim Brownfield (13). 3. Graduating Bisons are Bert Dunham, John Crawford, Jim Blue, Charlie Gann, King Coltrin, and Jim Horner. 4. The Freshman team concluded with a record of 2-4. 5. The Varsity offense was led by quarterback Bob Simmons (15) and running back Charlie Gann. 6.

Senior candidate Cheryl Hamlet was escorted by Doug Bradley. The long-awaited clash between the Buffalo Bisons and the Bolivar Liberators was only one of the highlights of Novem- ber 10, 1973. The rivalry of the two squads just barely out- shone the rivalry of the senior high school classes as it was time to choose another Festival Queen. In this contest the freshmen prevailed; and just as nobly, the Bisons took not only the contest but also the conference title from the Liberators 20-12. queens AC i Beauty The Football Festival activities were concluded on Saturday evening with a dance in the Buffalo High School Field House.

Jim is also very active in baseball and likes to play tennis. After gradua- tion, he plans to attend college and then hopes to become a coach. Jim is the son of John and Lcota Dull. LARRY SHOCKLEY is also a Senior in Bison land. He has let- tered every year. He has played center in the Bison lineup. An honor for Larry was being named to the All-Conference squad for two years. He claims that his chief interests arc driving his car and riding his motorcycle. His plans after graduation arc not definite, but he says that he would like to take it easy. Larry’s parents are Bill and Lorene Shockley. 29 eiizABeth pattepson Reigns At homecoming The highlight of homecoming festivities is the crowning of the ueen at the homecoming game. On Friday night, February , 1974 in an exciting match with Republic, the Bisons emerged victorious, and a new queen strode forth with a new crown. Each year a queen candidate from each class is nominated by the basketball boys. In an all school election conducted by the Student Council, the queen is selected and announced iust before her crowning. This year’s winner was Miss Elizabeth Patterson, Freshman candidate. 30 1.

He has made impressive progress with the team. The eighth grade record was 4-1 with the seventh grade 3-2. Assisting Coach Wilson in junior high football was Coach Rick Henderson. Junior high school sports arc sometimes an overlooked sport, but these young Bisons work as hard as anyone! The Seventh and Eighth Grade Basketball Teams arc coached by Dick Wilson and Carl Willis.

To these six girls, however, checrlcading is an art which requires much time, practice and energy. To be a Bison cheerleader you have to believe in yourself. After you do, you learn to believe in your school and most of all, those players who work their hardest to make everyone proud of them. When you cheer for a football and basketball team who have each won a C.O.C. title, you can’t help but be proud of them!! 1. The Varsity Cheerleaders. 2.

The show they were waiting for? ‘The Gay 90’s!” Unlike the many other P.T.A. carnivals of past years, this year’s carnival was held outdoors on the blacktop behind the main building. Each carpentry class hammered, sawed, and carried lumber and bricks until all the game areas were up and ready. Then, disaster threatened with a hard, steady rain. Just as they began to set up the games inside, the weather cleared off and the sun quickly dried things out. Thus, the night was spent outdoors except for a few shows put on by special groups. The carnival was a huge success with a record-break- ing crowd which naturally brought in record profits. 50 K ‘i ui • f “ H i i '! 1'' ,r 155!« inn; jjjin the Count Mrs. Buchanan, who decides on the theme and designs the decorations to carry it out, outdid herself this year with the theme “Every Day Is a Beautiful Day”.

One week merges into the next so incredibly that we stop and ask, “Where does the time go?” It doesn’t wait on anyone... And the seasons They go round and round And the painted ponies go up and down We’re captured on the carousel of time We can’t return We can only look behind from where we came And go round and round and round In a circle game. Joni Mitchell SenioRs Life is a mist and a rain blown about by the winds finally lost in the sea drawn up by the sun and coming to earth in a mist and a rain. Johnny Rivers 64 Wc look at our lives and see them as having been a series of plans, none of them ever being perfect. We have sought things we knew would be difficult to obtain. We have become schooled only to realize how little we know. We have been hurt and have always healed. We have invented things and destroyed them. We have had fears and joys and have formed our opinions from our experiences. We have laughed and grieved, and now we see it is no use to think of what might have been. 65 STEVEN MARK ABERCROMBIE August 29, 1956 Virgo Auto Mechanics 3,4; Woodworking 1,2; Speech 1;F.T.A. 1,2,3,4; Carnival Candidate 1; Class officer 2, Honor Roll 1,2 ANITA C.

It shows, in one school year, the cycle of growth, mental and physical, of the student. The annual staff at- tempts to catch this growth in photographs and written articles. At the end of the school year, they present it to the student, all wrap- ped up in a memory book to pro- vide enjoyment for many years. It takes teamwork to make such a book. Putting together an annual takes time, effort, imagination and an awful lot of hard work. The staff members share each other’s ideas, help each other out, and put forth a united front. Together, they work to produce a book deserving the name of a Bison Annual. 1. The Annual Staff considers the work in last year’s annual. 2. Phyllis Scarbrough, Scott Lee, Jean Roos, Kim Shepherd, Jill Schwanke, Ken Cooksey, Kathy Sample prepare layouts for the 1974 Bison. 3. Laurie Nybcrg and Kathy Ham- let prepare a layout while Mrs. Evans prompts Donna Wood on a copy sheet. 4. Jack Henderson, Kathy Hamlet. Donna Cooper, Sharon Cline, Cheryl Gargus, and Diane Jones share a difficult layout. 123 B.h.s. explodes with activity every year, but some of us fail to notice some of the sub- tler things around our school. 1 to 12. The film strip depicts a cycle of grades one through twelve. 13. A bird wings its way over the campus. 14. Miss Hughes enjoys her free hour. 15. A rock marks the spot. 16. Buffalo is on its way to a new conference title. 17. Was it carnival night? 18. We all know and love that big smoking monolith. 19. Did you notice this one? 125 And each person we encounter will leave his special mark on us. The cycles of our friendships go on endlessly. Later, the faces will be blurred, names confused and forgotten, but the lessons he has taught us will remain as long as we exist. Teachers and Administration mis; Probably the most effective message I’ve written for the annual and to our students, was the first one published during my administration as Buffalo Superintendent of Schools in 1949. Comments were not immediately forthcoming, however, they have come down through the years as students of that day review their prized book. Here it is: As the years pass your appreciation for this book will increase. Ultimately it will become one of your most prized possessions. It will so of!fnJnSh your memory of Peasant and happy experiences during your school days. It will remind you of opportunities you grasped and challenges you met which made of you a bigger and better person and enabled you to make a greater contribution to society. On the other hand it may remind you of opportunities you passed up and responsibilities you dodged which might arouse some “distant” or inward feeling of regret. Does it not behoove us then, to resolve, as we glance through its pages, to so strive, so act, and so live that our memory will ever be cher- ished by our friends. Sincerely Superintendent of Schoois School BOAR Seeks AnsweRS to the eneRqy crisis The school board is composed of concerned men of our community who act together as a body with Superintendent of Schools, Mr. D.A. Mallory and Assistant Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Ellis Sneed, to operate one of the most important organizations in the community, the public school. One of the most pressing problems, of course, is the matter of financing. This year, how- ever, another problem of equal magnitude presented itself in the form of the energy crisis. Addressing himself to this situation, Mr. Vernon Viets, President of the Buffalo School Board, commented, “If an energy crisis is to be averted and the schools con- tinue to function on schedule, every student, teacher, and administrator will have to do his part. Conservation of energy is a very basic thing, and no one individual can assume the responsibility of others; nor should we feel that conservation was meant to apply only to the other fellow.” Members of the Dallas County District One School Board are: Mr. Deraid Henderson, Mr. Ed Garrison, Mr. Ellis Sneed (Assistant Superintendent of Schools), Mr. D.A. Mallory (Superintendent of Schools), Mr. Vernon Viets, Miss Ethel Williams (Secretary), Mr. Ernie Mayfield, Dr. Charles Moore, and Mr. Harold Morgans. 129 A6mimstRAtORS ConsideR Community lnvoLvement Question: How can we get the community involved in the school program? 1 can best answer this question by telling what we are already doing. 1. American Educational Week with 400 parents. 2. School Health Program with parents helping. Heart Fund Drive March of Dimes Immunization Program 3. Pre-school pictures-a service to some 200 parents. 4. Fifth and sixth grade basketball with parents coaching. 5. Drug Education Committee We are planning Career and Early Child- hood Education. We are already doing it. This summer we had a meeting to discuss the new gradua- tion requirements with many commun- ity members involved. We have encour- aged them to go to statewide education meetings. We should encourage more conferences between teachers and parents. Community involvement is very important because the school belongs to the community and supposedly repre- sents what they want. Apparently they want education since they build a school! Mainly we need to sell the sports pro- gram to the public and let them see the benefits it has for the community. The starting point is with the student body. If the kids are not interested and do not have any spirit, there is no way to spread enthusiasm throughout the community. Mr. Robert C. Lee High School Principal Mr. John Dull Junior High School Principal Athletic Director Mr. Pruitt Miller Elementary School Principal Mr. Ellis Sneed Students Devin Harmon, Kathy Hamlet, Gaylen Jones, and Mary Beth Lemons discuss with Mr. Assistant Superintendent of Schools E,lis Sneed the enefgy crisis. The need for co-operative planning with a great many public and voluntary agencies has never been greater. Differences of opinion must never be allowed to diminish community involvement since different meanings from the same facts are to be expected in any deliberative body. The school’s importance warrants whatever aid can be given it by other public agencies, and, conversely, the work of other agencies can frequently be furthered by school-community involvement. The interests of all can be promoted by this mutually co-operative relationship. It is only on a mutual participation basis involving citizens of the community that a top flight education program can be established and maintained. The school needs to go out to the com- munity, and the community needs to be a part of the classroom. The public feels the school is not as open to them as be- fore. All staff members and students should work to change this. We need more programs and activities in which parents participate jointly with their own children. A parent-teacher conference program would be a good beginning. They could also be given the responsibility of serving on various committees to help determine what the total educational program will be. Mr. Ramie Sample Director Vocational Technical School Mrs. Fern Martin Elementary School Principal Long Lane Mr. Dan Bruffett Elementary School Supervisor 131 Mrs. Ferrell Mallory Home Economics We teach values and moral- ity through out lives in the classroom. What can we teach that will not become obsolete? Mr. Kendall carries the ball faculty Considcps We can teach values and eth- ics because they are the things that will last throughout the generations. Instead of teaching academic subjects, we should teach children to get along with others. I don’t think any of our basic facts of knowledge will be- come obsolete. We’ll always use the basic elements in education. We can teach honesty, courtesy and most of all the following adage: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Miss Virginia Hughes English Mrs. Marjorie Stanley Third Grade Mrs. Maigarct Adams Fifth Grade Mrs. Sally Shantz Fourth Grade 132 Miss Linda Looney English Mr. Avera Harriman Social Studies I don't think that anything should be kept simply be- cause it is tradition. Some tra- ditions are worthwhile, but progress is more important than tradition. All change isn’t progress. Some change is good, but not every- thing new is better. What do you think of this statement: Some stay with tradition while others progress? for Buffalo at a pep assembly. timely questions For some tradition is fine, but others need to progress and go forward This statement assumes that tradition and progress are not the same, but why can’t they be? The statement implies that tradition and progress cannot go hand and hand, but perhaps they can. Staying with traditions docs not always mean that you do not progress. Sometimes tradi- tion can be progress. Mrs. Diana Lynn Hurlbut Mrs. Carol Faucett Business Vocal Music Mrs. LaJohna Gillispie Mathematics 133 Mrs. Willa Garrett Kindergarten Mrs. Viola Miller Kindergarten Mrs. Lovie Palmer Second Grade Mrs. Barbara Yates Second Grade Yes, children have been better prepared through travel and television and other means. They seem to want to know more. No, I don't believe they arc. They seem to want to be entertained. They want to talk and do not want to sit. There isn’t much difference. They still need to be trained to the ways of life. I hope they don’t get worse. If children get worse, the world gets worse. The elementary are enthusi- astic. They come wanting to learn with no thoughts of hating school. teachecs take time Mrs. Bradley’s class Are children more prepared for school than in previous vears? J mm Yes, students arc more pre- pared for school because their parents have more edu- cation than they used to have. Mrs. Novella Rodelander Fourth Grade I think perhaps they are be- cause they have been exposed to such a variety of things to make them become emotionally stable. Mrs. Villa Polly Fifth Grade 134 Mr. Rick Henderson Coach and Driver’s Education Miss Patricia Henderson Elementary P.E. and Coach Mr. Floyd Willis Head Basketball Coach and Science Mr. Warren Kennedy Head Football Coach This is a big asset to his competitive spirit, his co- operation with others, and his over-all relations with other people. Yes, athletics are important in character building be- cause of the help received in functioning socially and mentally. Athletic classes do not help any more than any other classes. However, athletics do develop a firm sense of co- operation with others. The athlete learns to sacrifice himself for the goal of the team. As a team he helps try to reach a common goal which is something very beautiful once you receive it. to Qive opinions sits quietly and listens. Do athletics help form a persons character? Athletics definitely help to mold character. The training received conditions the student for living later on, especially in the important matter of self- discipline. In athletics students get a chance to compete with stu- dents from other schools, and find that they can become friends even though competing. Athletics discipline the in- dividual. Mr. Richard L. Wilson Mrs. June Bradley Coach and Science High School P.E. and Coach 135 Mrs. Carol Hatch F ourth Grade Mrs. Susan Foster Sixth Grade Mr. Donald Darrell Ragar Jr. Sixth Grade Miss Ruth Ann Lawrence Speech and Drama and English Students do not bring too many personal problems to school but rather behavioral problems. Yes, I have noticed that sixth grade students have personal problems. Previously, when I taught in the lower grades, they didn’t seem to have as many problems. Yes, they do. It’s because of the rapidly moving society we have today. They have more frustrations as a result of trying to adapt themselves to society. Yes, students do bring their problems with them. If they are having family and home problems, it affects their school work. faculty Comments Do students bring personal problems to school? Children do not bring many problems. Most problems en- countered in the sixth grade are social problems, inner classroom and playground. Mrs. Evelyn Alice Sixth Grade Yes, students have worries of school such as acceptance by peer groups and teachers. As they grow older, peer recog- nition is more important. Mrs. Eva Marie Glor Grade School Guidance Coun- selor 136 Mrs. Esther Thompson Third Grade Mrs. Lorcta Sons Third Grade Mrs. Dorothy Steelman Third Grade Mrs. Ollie Scott Special Education I don’t think teaching has really changed, but students arc smarter now than when I began. I first taught four grades and did my own janitor work. This has changed, but my love for helping children find a fuller, more rewarding life has not changed. Children have changed in atti- tude. They arc more eager to learn about the latest things. The children today are more educated because of television and travel. They know more about their surroundings. School ppoBlems he finishing touches. Has teaching changed since you started in the profes- sion? It has changed a lot because I started in rural schools and had all eight grades. There’s quite a difference between teaching eight grades and one. Teachers have more respect now. Basically there hasn’t been much change in good teach- ing. Mrs. Donna Tucker Fifth Grade Mr. Albert Hart High School Guidance Counse- lor 137 Mr. Bert Booth Auto Mechanics Mr. Eugene Coltrin Welding Mr. David McHenry Mr. Keith Kendall Auto Body Printing and Photography The liberal arts are used in all phases of life. The liberal arts provide a basis for appreciation for the finer things which everyone should have. They provide a basis for building a vocation. Those courses should give the student a wider knowledge of subjects he will encounter during his life. I feel very strongly that certain courses from the lib- eral arts area are most vital. I refer specifically to the practi- cal application of English and math. pedAQoqs pondeR How can the liberal arts courses help the vo-tcch students? The liberal arts courses are important for any vocation, but sometimes they are over- done. The biggest thing to learn is how to think, plan, and or- ganize. Mr. Steve Potter Jr. Agriculture Mr. Wayne Lemons Radio Broadcasting Mrs. Neuhart interests students with 138 Mr. Lendol Condrcn Mr. Charles Bennett Driver’s Education, Agriculture Science Mrs. Dorothy Berry Special Education Mrs. Patsy Meadors Fourth Grade I think the school can teach ideals and responsibility, but it’s up to the student to take that responsibility. Home en- vironment is always accountable too. School pROBlems It may contribute to the suc- cess of the student, but it de- pends more upon the stu- dent’s use of the knowledge he receives. Yes, it is, but it’s up to the individual to make the best of what he gets and do his part. The school supplies the foun- dation by teaching them to think. The school gives fundamentals, but it’s up to the individual to apply them to his benefit. Tnat’s about all we can do. animals—live rats and the story of a pig. Is the school accountable for the success or failure of a student? Yes, whatever is needed in the way of books or facts the school should provide. The school is partially responsi- ble for the success or failure of a student. The home and the church also share in this re- sponsibility. Mr. William Moulder High School Librarian Mrs. Barbara Randall Kindergarten 139 Mrs. Judith Bradley Secretarial Practice Especially in secretarial work English is a must. Mathe- matics is also a prerequisite. Mr. Glen Montgomery Electronics The student should have Eng- lish courses explaining equip- ment and terminology related to the particular vocational course. They should learn about the industry and its opportunities. How can the liberal arts courses help the vo-tech student? “What color is it? asks Miss Henderson teAcheps tell it They help everyone. They stimulate the mind and give something to think about above menial tasks. In relating to the academic sub- jects the person should be able to comprehend terms and understand principle. He needs dexterity to retain what he visually secs and practices. The vo-tech student needs to know how to figure and to read. In good humor Mr. Rice added, “They form their own vocabulary the first time they hit theii thumb with the hammer.” Liberal arts courses should help the student find what his talents are and help him find himself. 140 Mrs. Rosemary Maclssacs Nursing Mr. George Stark Auto Mechanics Mr. Roy Rice Carpentry Mr. Bill White Carpentry Mr. Ronald Schofield Sixth Grade We have to have progress and tradition both. They are both necessities. Mr. Alan Stanley Science In some places you’ll observe more tradition than actual progress. In other places you’ll see more progress. What do you think of this statement: Some stay with tradition while others progress? in her elementary P.E. cl Like it is It is not true that tradition and progress are opposed. Tradition isn’t necessarily anti- progress. 1 don’t really see much dif- erence between tradition and progress. They can work together. There seems to be a generali- zation that tradition has a negative connotation, but I do not believe this. I like to think I am progressive in my attitudes and open to constructive change. Today’s progress is tomorrow’s tradition. Progress that is good should be kept. Mr. John Walsh Science Miss Ethel Williams Business Mrs. Cathy Johnson Special Services Mr. James Andrews Junior High Guidance Coun- selor Mr. Don Jcssen Mathematics Mrs. Leta Buchanan Art me traditions arc excellent We must progress to carry out and should be continued, but our traditions because that is others need to be changed. what they arc meant for. What do you think of this statement: Some stay with tradition while others progress. Mrs. Buchanan teaches teacheps ReUte If it is true progress, we should all progress. Most people get in a rut, but things are changing and we must change with them. I don’t agree that you have to do away with tradition in order to progress. Some traditions need to be kept. I don’t believe in doing any- thing just because it is tra- dition. You ought to judge each tradition for its value. Mrs. Cleta Jurgens Social Studies and German Mr. Warren Scarbrough Carpentry Mrs. Nancy Sneed Social Studies Mr. Billy Lee Price Refrigeration, Air-conditioning 142 Mrs. Marie Gregg Second Grade Mrs. Mary Nell Andrews First Grade If children have had kinder- garten, they seem more pre- pared. Even in second grade you can notice the dif- ference. As a whole they don’t seem much different. Yes, they do. I feel that since most have had preschool they arc much more prepared. They have had more experiences and arc ready to read and do math. Also, they have traveled and done more things. Do students seem more prepared for school than in previous years. principles of art. to School ppoBlems Yes, they are ready to learn. They arc eager, and they arc greatly motivated. Each year the students arc more heterogeneous as far as preparation and motivation are concerned. This presents a very real teaching problem. It is my opinion that they are not better prepared. They seem unwilling to settle down and work. Yes, many toddlers know their ABC’s from watching TV. Parents today are more aware of the need for ed- ucation. Children have more games and books to use in the home. Mrs. Lucille Chapman First Grade Mrs. Beverly Evans English Mrs. Ruth Dunkin Reading Mrs. Evelyn Peterie Special Reading 143 Mrs. Pamela Dickinson Elementary Art Miss Gloria Kay Carpenter Special Mathematics Mrs. Helen Roberts Fourth Grade Mrs. Donna Ashworth Elementary Music We can teach creativity. We can teach the child to use his imagination because he’ll al- ways need an imagination in life. We can teach common sense. It will never become ob- solete. We can teach morals and man- ners. I enjoy teaching be- cause of the association with children. The basic principles of a good character never become ob- solete even though society might change. In music the basics (note, time, values, etc. J remain the same even though society may apply them differently. educatoRS SeaRCh What can we teach that will not become obsolete? Mrs. Duff challenges her students 144 I feel that as teachers, we are responsible for teaching methods of study and thinking as opposed to general facts, whereby the student may use their methods to help them think and solve problems. Mr. Bryan Elhard Instrumental Music English will not grow ob- solete. We are always going to communicate with others. Mrs. Grace Hill English Yes, they bring home, en- vironmental, health, and emo- tional problems. They bring all kinds. 'or answeps Yes, they do. Their problems make them what they arc. In high school they take most of their problems to the coun- selor. They bring no more problems than before. They have always had problems, but now they can talk about them more freely. o solve a difficult problem. Do the students bring a lot of personal problems to school with them? They come with all kinds of problems. Some of them are easily solved by talking about the situation. Whatever the problem, it needs at- tention because it affects the child and his learning. Mrs. Marilyn Denise Jessen First Grade They come to school and talk about their parents, brothers, sisters, and pets. They talk about it, but they don’t ask for a solution. Miss Ivana Hagan Third Grade 145 Mr. Joe Atteberry Social Studies Mr. Ray Bolin Industrial Arts Mrs. Merle Grant Mrs. Carolyn Duff Social Studies and French Mathematics The school is accountable for the success or failure of the student and should take into consideration the moral, spir- itual and home factors. teAcheRs face Yes, it is to the degree that the student feels that he is accountable for his own suc- cess or failure. I think the public holds the school accountable, but I per- sonally do not think that it is. The school cannot be totally responsible, but it is he most important organi- zation at the student's age level. Is the school accountable for the success or failure of the student? 146 Mr. Hart plans for the future In academic areas the school is probably accountable, but in nonacademic areas it is not accountable. It has a responsibility to a certain extent, but after that it is up to the individual. The home is also responsible be- cause it has the child the first five years. Mrs. Joan Boyd Social Studies and English Mrs. Donna LaCrue Grade School Librarian Mrs. Jancth Elaine Bowen Speech Therapy Their motivation is different. You can play games with the elementary students, and you can’t with high school students because you have to deal with their problems. Mrs. Ruth Pierce First Grade It takes just as much initiative to teach grade school as it does to teach high school. Mrs. Carolyn McGoldrick School Nurse 1 have more grade school stu- dents to treat than high school. My office is in the grade school because high school students don’t fall down as much and aren’t as uncoordinated as younger stu- dents. Mrs. Joy Robertson Learning Disabilities There is a difference in the teaching of both. I would rather teach grade school be- cause 1 like to teach the younger children. today's issues Is there a difference in teaching grade school and high school? Which do you prefer? at college and career day. I feel there are advantages in the elementary. They still want to learn while the secon- dary student often feels that he should be taught. Miss Barbara Clark Second Grade I prefer grade school because I like to teach young children. It is less technical. I can teach the fundamentals and appreciation.

The people on these pages represent a circle of events without which our school would be inoper- able. Mr. Ward Rea is responsible for 42 routes and getting 1030 children to school. After 17 years' service Mr. Rea is retiring. We here express our thanks and gratitude to Mr. Rea. Down through the ages man has gone forth to his labor to provide for himself the neces- sities of life. He has repeated the same old cycle century after century, year after year, day after day, and hour after hour. Sometimes we wonder if there is really anything new under the sun. “All things arc full of labour. The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 151 Advertisements w McCurry Distributing Company Jerry’s Texaco Jerry White and Dennis Rice Phone: 345-9886 Nicholas Fina Sta South on Highway 65 152 Dallas County Courier Bradley Mobil “Dallas County’s First Offset Printing Company” Deryl and Maralou Bradley West Dallas St. Buffalo, Missouri P.O.
