The sun will rise ... and again will set, followed close by another dawn. 1 sec my life as it was__ yesterday as it is ... today. A step apart, yet... one step closer To the happiness of tomorrow. Memories of today. Sandy Righter Sometimes memories can be a crutch, You lean on them As the years fade on. Memories can only become stronger. Yesterday’s forgotten past. Once again unfolded. Will I live till tomorrow? What will I be? As I grow up. Will fate be kind to me? Until the future becomes my past. These questions I can only ask. 4 Dreams of Tomorrow Soon Become Memories of Yesterday I had my dreams just like the rest, But I thought my dreams by far the best. Someone special I was to be. But in stepped a thing called reality. Now memories arc all I have left to me. Of a past full of dreams of what is yet to be. Poetry by Bobbie Montgomery % f i i 1 A 6 Those Were The Days Many were the sounds and sights of the ‘74 - 75 school year. On every hand things were humming. In these few shots we tryed to show some of the familiar sights that will remain in our minds forever, like the normal “fooling around” with Mr. Lee. This was the year the Buffalo Gals made their break- neck effort to collect money to go to Portland, Oregon for the Grand Floral Rose Parade. One of these activities was the very successful 50’s “Sock Hop” that was fun for young and old. All the activities were not new this year, however. Who can forget the mad dash to lunch, getting together at the car wash on Friday after school, and buzzing the square after the ballgamc before going home? It’s truly been a year to remember, and I’m sure we’re all glad to say we were a part of it 7 Four Queen of Hearts Made some tarts, All during a Bison game; The Knave of Hearts, He stole the tarts, And the Queens were never the same. The Knave of Hearts, Felt guilt for the tarts. And knew the Queens were sore; So the Knave of Hearts Brought back the tarts. And they loved him all the more. Miss Merry Christmas: Football Festival Queen: Homecoming Queen: Bamwarming Queen: Knave of Hearts: Penny Blair Cheryl Clayton Sandy Franklin Susan Atteberry Steve Davies 9 10 Grace Anne and Lee Are Best This year the Bison Annual Staff chose six per- sonality traits that they thought were most desire- able. With the help of the faculty, six couples who best typified these traits were chosen. To reign over this group a Bison King and Queen were selected on the basis of over-all personality and contribution to the school. The 1974-75 Bison King and Queen are Lee Price, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Price, and Grace Anne Henderson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Henderson, Sr. 1. 2. 3. 4. Wonder what’s on his mind? Is Lee holding his hay truck up? Grace Anne takes time out to “look over the farm” while chewing on a weed. Bill Nunn and Rosa Roach were the “Most Friendly” people running around our school. 5. Ron Pence and Nancy Janke were the all around “Most Versatile” people on campus. 6. The Bison King and Queen ponder over a Trig problem. 7. Grace Anne takes time for deep-thinking. 8. Two Seniors, John Durham and Marsha Montgomery displayed the “Best sense of Humor”. 9. The “Most Dependable” duo was Denise Spoeringand Donald Potter. 10.Seniors Galen Jones and Becky Bradley were considered to have the “Best School Spirit” at BHS. 11. Grace Anne enjoys nature. 12. Grace Anne “takes it easy” at a friends house. 13. Jeff Sluder and Marilyn Miller earned the title of “Most Courteous”. 14. In his spare time, Lee works on his car. 11 “Obedience without understanding is a -blindness, too. “The Miracle Worker 66The Miracle Worker ' 14 Seniors Speak Out One of these students will be the valedictorian of the Senior Class of 1975. Cheryl Garret, Marilyn Miller, Katy Beckett, Debbie Hill, Grace Anne Henderson, Donald Potter and Jean Roos discuss teachers, subjects and future goals with Superintendent of Schools, D.A. Mallory. MR. MALLORY. Grace Anne, well start with you. How has B.H.S. contributed to your success? GRACE ANNE. In the first place, Pvc had a lot of good friends here that will last forever. I’ll always remember them. I think I’ve got a good education. I’ve been able to take the courses that I’ve wanted to for the most part. They have helped me to prepare for college. MR. MALLORY. Thank you, Grace Anne. Let me ask you this question, Cheryl, and I don’t mean to embarrass you. What teachers have made the greatest impression on you? CHERYL. I think Mrs. Sneed and Mrs. Hurlbut. MR. MALLORY. You think it would be Mrs. Sneed and Mrs. Hurlbut. Now, will you tell me why and how. Are they teaching the subjects you like the best? CHERYL. It’s not that at all because I don’t like history, but Mrs. Sneed just gets her point across very well, and she teaches her class very well. Mrs. Hurlbut is the same way. She gets you to do things. She doesn’t have to press you on. MR. MALLORY. Allrieht. Let’s ask you this question, Don. What have you learned that you think will most help you in the future? DON. That's pretty rough. MR. MALLORY. I’d say up to this point you know where you’re going. Are you a Senior? DON. Yeah. MR. MALLORY. You arc taking the last thing yo’.� arc going to take, so.. .. DON. I’d say it would be mostly like my preparatory college classes like trig, things like that ‘cause I’m going to college. MR. MALLORY. Allright. That has been what you have done in school. You’ve taken college preparatory courses. DON. Yeah. . Mfi_ MR. MALLORY. Allright. Let me go to you, Marilyn, with this question. What teachers have made the greatest impression on you? MARILYN. Well---- MR. MALLORY. Now, you can go back as far as you want to - - -1 suppose the seventh grade. MARILYN. Well, the first one I would have to say would be Mr. Elhart be- cause I’ve had two classes under him for four years and even some in junior high, and I’ve learned a lot from his classes. Also, I’d have to go back to Mrs. Sneed again. She makes history come alive for me, and then some of my English teachers, and also Mr. Jessen, my math teacher. MR. MALLORY. What subjects do you like the best? MARILYN. English, history and drum corps. MR. MALLORY. Allright. Debbie, what year did you enjoy the most? DEBBIE. I think every Senior is very happy because it’s their senior year; and after you get out of high school, you can go maybe get a job or go on to college. For me well, every year was best, real exciting! MR. MALLORY. You’ve enjoyed all of it? DEBBIE. Yes, because here at Buffalo there are always things to do. You vc got a lot of friends, and they’re always athletic events to go to and just be around your friends. To me, you always have things to do with your friends. MR. MALLORY. Alright. Jean, 1 haven’t got to you, have I? JEAN. No. u u MR. MALLORY. What memorable event has happened to you, or what is the high- light of your school experience? JEAN. I think the highlight would be two things. First of all, the oppor- tunity to take broadcasting and find out what it’s all about and what I wanted to do with my life. And then being able to go to state in radio speaking. MR. MALLORY. Allright, Let me ask you this question. The first one- - - what has BHS contributed to your success and what do you think will continue to contribute to your success? Katy,you answer that question, will you? KATY. I think it has contributed pretty much. Like in English and stuff. It’s prepared me to correspond with people and to communicate— and like all the friends I’ve made. It’s helped me to prepare to go on to college, and it’s helped me to be on my own because — like you have to make a lot of your own decisions in school, and it’s helped me to learn to make decisions. It’s just prepared me to go after I get out of school. MR. MALLORY. Allright. Now, I’m going to ask this same question. I don t know if Jeff will use all of the answers to this question or not, but it’s for my own infor- mation. It’s interesting for me to know. Don, what teacher or teachers have made the greatest impressions on you? DON. I’d have to say Mrs. Sneed. on 15 I’ve had my share of broken dreams and more than a couple of falls, and in chasing what I thought were moombeams, I have run into a couple of walls. But in looking back at the places I’ve been, I would sure be the first one to say When I look at myself today, I wouldn’t have done it any other way. Jim Croce Harvest of Memories What is a memory? An image or reflection of the past. A fleeting moment of yesterday. A memory is ageless in our minds. Can we relive a memory? It is up to us to live for today. The 1974-75 Bison Annual is just a small piece of yesterday left for us to remember. It’s like taking a trip back into a forgotten time just for a short while, to revisit and relive. Remembering can be beautiful. Cheryl Gargus 17 Activities Today went so softly Just faded away Like the rain in the springtime On that day When I met you... Today went so quietly I turned And it was gone Like you, Like me. It was lonely It went on... Seals and Crofts mi A Squad for All Seasons This year our teams were backed by a spirited pep club that did one great job. The girls, under the supervision of their spon- sor, Mrs. Diane Hurlbut, sold booster pins and had other money raising activities to pay for their bus fare so that they'd be sure and not miss any games. All members wore pins claiming them as belonging to the Bison Pep Club. The time they spent at those games was well worth their while as the seasons were climaxed with a number of all-conference battles. It WAS a great year and the boys who made All-Conference and the Pep Club deserve praise for filling 1974 - 75 with excitement and making it an unforgettable year! 1. Enthusiastic Bison supporters at a pep assembly. 2. Varsity cheerleaders throw out balls to the crowd. 3. Coach Willis wonders what’s in store for him at a pep assembly. 4.

Lee Price is a Bison! This year Lee made All-Conference, 2nd All- Ozark, and All-State teams.

They are: (Front) Lee Price, Bob Simmons, Steve Ownby, Dan Crawford, Kim Davies: (Back) Joe Shantz, Dan Bower, Steve Edwards, Mark Gronniger and Dan Glor. 8. The Pep Club was led this year by their sponsor Mrs. Diane Hurlbut, President Cheryl Clayton, and Secretary Becky Bradley. MS 21 Bisons Show Depth The ‘74 - ‘75 season was a tough and unpredictable year for the Basketball Bisons. They were short, and they always had to run to win ballgames. They might have been short in size, but they were big in deter- mination and hustle. This year’s team featured something that is essential to any good team, good bench strength. The Bisons could substitute players and very rarely be hurt. They were one of the most completely balanced teams to come out of Buffalo in a long time. The Bisons finished the COC with a re- cord of 10-4 and an overall record of 19-8. The Bisons were in the race for the championship up until the end when they suffered a hard loss to Rogersville. The way the boys hustled and the dedication they showed only help to compliment the coaching of Floyd Willis and his staff. But now they’re just a memory, something enjoyed but rarely thought of. We all hope that in the years to come, memories of Basketball ‘75 will enter with a smile. 1. Doug Brethower is a 6 1 Junior Guard. 2. Jay Hill is a 5’8” Senior Guard. 3.

One unpleasant memory, is the fact that the Buffalo Bisons lost their game to the Logan-Rogersville Wildcats. For six young ladies, however, memories of this night may well never be forgotten.

Plans multiplied and grew until finally the weekend of October 25-26 appeared. By Friday many posters decorated the halls urging the Bisons on to victory and victory it was! That night we defeated the previously undefeated Republic team 18-0. The four queen candidates were all from the Senior Class, and during half-time Cheryl Clayton was crowned festival queen. Half-time concluded with a routine by the Buffalo Gals. Festival activities continued on Saturday night with Shadow Rock playing for the dance. As they played their last song and the crowd began to leave, we could already see that soon Football Festival 1974 would be just another page in our book of memories. 1.

They won eight games and lost two by the total of three points. Total scoring was 287 to 73 which is nearly four times the opposing teams added together. In conference during the last three years they finished first, second, and third. They finished in the top five teams in Southwest Missouri in the last two years. Coach Warren Kennedy said he was very proud of this team and that they played well at all times. In the last three years they led conference in defense, and the last two years in both defense, offense and in scoring points. The Junior Varisty was 3-1 and Freshman were 3-0. The over all total was fourteen won, three lost and tied one. 1. “Hey, Hey, Hey, let’s play, “orders Rick Bursey. 2. “Me Tarzan, you Jane,” says Steve Ownby. 3.

For those of you who would put this down as a kind of worn out cliche we say it again because it’s true. They DO work hard promoting our Bison spirit, and since a compliment is due them, we say, “Everyone! Please give a tip of your hat to our Bison cheerleaders!” 1.

The “A” team had eight wins and six losses, while the “B team boasted ten wins and four losses. They were fortunate in having a good bench, and a lot of juniors, sophomores, and freshmen who rounded out the two squads and really sparked enthusiasm. Not only did the girls show lots of vitality, so did the crowds who gave support off the floor, as well as on. Even though they will miss their two seniors, Mary Beth Lemons (forward) and Debbie Hill (guard), they feel next year will be better. Volleyball has been the fall sport for girls at BUS for about forty years. This year the Junior Varsity sported a record of 9-2, the “A” team held to 54, while the Freshmen displayed an impressive 8-1 record. They entered two tournaments, the C.O.C., in which they took fifth, and their Regional, where they received fourth place. This was the first year for a freshman volleyball team, so we now have three chances to conquer our rivals. Volleyball has changed a lot over the past ten years. There are now six, instead of nine or eight on a team. They also play a match (two out of three games), instead of quarters. Hitting has changed from flat-hand to forearm and finger tips. All these changes have made for a faster and much more skillful game. 1. The new team for girls Freshman Volleyball included: (Front) Becky Clayton, Penny Blair, Karen Goodwin, Sherry Henderson, Cindi Cole; (Back) Sue Price, Kim Walsh, Tammy Baldock, Rhonda Earp, Rene Bradley, Nancy Swigert and Robin Long. 2. ‘That’s what I think of you!” 3 ‘‘Here ya go!” 4.

The seventh grade football team had a 3-1 record, but the basketball team didn’t do so well. Seventh grade coach, Jack Leatherman, accredited their football success to a good defense and an efficient ground game, while citing a small team as the reason for their downfall in basketball. Eighth grade, however, told just the opposite story. Their football record was 2-2-1,while they ran up an impressive tally, in basketball winning the Central Ozark Conference championship for eighth graders. Coach Dick Wilson said this year’s terrific season could be attributed to good teamwork by a good group of boys. “If these boys can keep up the good work, we may have another championship team in two or three years,’’ he commented. In talking with members of this year’s team, the most frequent comment was that a good defense attributed much but teamwork was also a major factor in their brilliant season. Good ball handling, strengthened by much practice and effective instruction, were also commonly cited as reasons for capturing the championship. Other comments attributed the team’s height, speed, shooting skill, rebounding efforts, strategy, and team spirit as additional reasons for a winning season. As one player put it, “We just tugged on!’’ 1. The Junior High All Star Wrestling Team is: (Front) Dill, Gann, Bliss, Sufficool, Stephenson, Paro. Larkin, Hicks, Dine and Oliver.

The Gals worked hard during the 1974-75 school year to earn money for the trip by having a slave auction, a Fifties Sock Hop, raffling off a beef, selling Christmas cards, and various other activities. Meanwhile, the Buffalo Gals seemed to find time to march at the University of Missouri, Rolla football game, Christmas parades, and several home football and basket- ball games under the supervision of Brian Elhard. Their reward for all their time and effort, along with several trophies, was an award of appreciation from the Buffalo Optimist Club for thier achievement and community service. 1.

With the help of Mr. Dull, they set up a seventh and eighth grade Student Advisory Committee. What this long title means is Junior High Student Council. This group strove hard to promote school morale. Mr. Dull said that many ideas had been presented and some led to activities such as hillbilly day and written articles for the “Scout.” The Student Council of Buffalo High School started things rolling this year with the Football Festival followed shortly by the Basketball Homecoming. The main project, however, was redoing the parking lot. The Council decided to have the lot graded and completely regraveled.

This production was a great challenge to the Drama Department, as they attempted to recreate scenes taken from the inspirational life of Helen Keller and her teacher Annie Sullivan. One can find faith and hope from the miracle that was wrought in the story. The Keller Family and the many people who influenc- ed Helen’s awakening were brought to life under the direction of Mrs. Ruth Ann East. The Drama Department gave vent to vibrant humor, as they took part in the presentation of the 1890’s Revue. This program took the place of the PTA fund raising carnival and was made possible with the help of many teachers. Old slap-stick humor was revived once more with a men’s chorus line, a brass band under the direct- ion of Mr. Elhard, and even a hillbilly jug-band. The Drama Department was also proud to dis- play their new stage flats used for the first time, to enhance the atmosphere for their productions. 1. Grace Anne Henderson and Lynne Farell portray many emotions from the life of Helen Keller. 2. Ron Pence, Marsha Montgomery and Lynne Farell captivate the audience with their many antics. 3. The amazing Jack Henderson and his partner Lynne Farell have baffled the audience once more with the disappearance of Mike Randleman?!? 4.

While they traveled on the road of competi tion, they created a proud name for our school and its foren- sic abilities. The Central Ozark Pre-District Meet was the most profitable of the year. Our Speech team left victoriously with the First Place Sweepstakes Trophy. The speech teams are under the direction of Mrs. Ruth Ann East. 1. “Ron, you’re always complaining about how heavy your extemp files arc. How would you like to carry Steve’s demonstration saddle instead!’’ “Oh Jeff, you’re just Jealous!’’ 2. Mrs. Ruth Ann East proudly carries the Sweepstakes Trophy won at the Ozark meet. 3.

There were reversed roles with boy cheerleaders and girl football players. They were coached by Bison football players, who probably thought the Future Homemakers should have remained in their homes. One of the high spots of the night was the crowning of the “queen”. Junior candidate Joe Shantz. The other major activity was the F. F. A. Barnwarming. Then, it was the boys’ turn to work. They roasted a pig, and served it to the girls and their sponsor, Mrs. Judy Kennedy,who sat back and enjoyed watching Mr. Steve Potter and his boys serve them. 1.

Over 450 people saw what took several years of dreams and several years work to complete. This marked the third year that Vo-Tech was in operation, each year the quality of education going up. New classes and new teachers have been added along with the old favorites of auto body, welding, and electronics. The real impact of Vo-Tech won’t be felt until a few more years when, if you stop and take the time, you will see just how many students have used Vo-Tech as a stepping-stone to their future careers. 1. Shannon Evans prepares a new item at KBFL. 2. Two boys learn more about welding in Gene Coltrin’s class. 3. Jack Henderson explores the world of photography. 4.

Two of the ways we achieve communication here at B. H. S. are through our high school radio station. KBFL, and the school newspaper. The Buffalo Scout. KBFL, while furnishing students with a valuable background in broadcasting, at the same time provides Buffalo and the surrounding area with the latest in news and special programming, not to mention one of the widest varieties of music in Southwest Missouri. All of this is made possible through the unbelievable tolerance of Dennis Kelly, Christina Gaunt, Kathy Willis. Danny Chastain, and, above all, Mr. Wayne Lemons. Where would a school be without a school paper? Most of us would be missing a lot, including plays and everything else we hear about in the Buffalo Scout. Celebrating its tenth anniversary this year and still going strong, thcScout Staff, under the direction of Mr. Keith Kendall, bring us the latest from around our school including interviews, sports and editorials. With these two establishments working in our school system, there is no excuse for a gap in communication. 1. A KBFL production staff, Kim Shepherd, Jeff Sluder and Jack Henderson get ready to “put one on the air.” 2. Here are the KBFL broadcasting students the bright “good morning” voices whose faces you never sec! 3.

A. this year. 1. In the Junior High Band are members of the future pep band and high school concert band. 2. The Buffalo High School Band pose for a picture they all look forward to. 3.

Small ensembles from the large choral groups have provided entertainment for appreciative audiences throughout Buffalo land. This year, also, the mixed chorus of eighty junior high school students and sixty-five high school members gave public concerts. Such great renditions as, “If You Were Coming in the Fall” by Frederick Silver, “Morning Has Broken” by Cat Stevens, “Sweet Lamb” by Walter Ehret, and “Do You Hear What I Hear” by Harry Simeone, provided a variety of pop, folk, religious and classical music. 1.

Stars they come and go. They come fast or slow. They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze and all you see is glory. -Janis Ian 64 We Were Seniors ’75 Here it is—springtime of 1975. and that long awaited graduation ceremony will shortly be only a memory. When all 83 of us began our long trip through this great organization called school, we didn’t realize what wonderful relationships and exper- iences we would have along the way. Today, we stand 148 strong donned in cap and gown, each ready to go our own separate ways. Some of us will go on to college and others to occupations. Our time has finally come, and time alone will tell how long the friendships we have made will last as the Class of 1975 becomes a larger part of life. 65 LARRY GENE ANDERSON October 27, 1956 Libra CARLA MAE ATTERBERRY May 15, 1957 Taurus Honor Roll 1,2,3,4; Drum Corps 1,2,3,4, Vice President 3,4; Pep Club 1,3; Band 1; FTA 1,2,3,4; FFA 3; Vocationa Agriculture; Photography 4.

IN CLOSING WE’D LIKE TO SAY “GOOD-BY MR. STANLEY’’ 83 84 As the senior year goes by, the seniors tend to look back over the past four years. In these years there have been many things that happened to us or that we have done that we’ll always remember— goin’ up town on Saturday nights and trying’ to find a girl or guy, Saturday nights at the drive-in, cruisin’ the Snack Shack, skippin' class, standin‘ out in the hall lookin’ at the people, goin’ to parties, Watermill, drag racin; these are just a few of the things the seniors of ‘75 have as memories. As we look back, we want to thank all those before and after who have been a part of this collage of mem- ories. The thought is probably best put in a line from one of the songs by the late Jim Croce: “When I look at myself today. Wouldn’t have done it any other way.” 85 JUNIORS John Amschlcr Tim Anderson Dean Baldwin James Bass Jeff Bates Kimi Bennett Peggy Blair Jean Bliss Ann Boer Hank Boyd Kirby Bradley Rhonda Branch Doug Brethower Steve Brown Tim Brownfield Rick Burscy Pat Claspill Ronnie Claspill Eddie Cline Bonnie Oopton Jayne Compton Carolyn Cooper Clayton Creasy Sherry Creasy David Daugherty Randy Davis DeEtta Dcckard Mary Dickey Barbara Dill Joyce Dill Kim Dismang Brenda Dozier Dennis Dozier Lynn Duff Brenda Dugan Debra Dugan Shannon Evans 86 Carl F'errcll Valerie Frantz Randy Camel Jay Gann Bonita Gillham Frank Gillham Danny Glor Leola Gott Becky Griffith Cassandra Hammond Edward Hall Devin Harmon Allen Harrington Linda Harrold Cheryl Hedgepath Jack Henderson Debbie Hobbs Gary Howard Lynn Howe Jackie Howerton Ruth James Nancy Janke Mary Ann Jennings Alana Jewell Judy Kilgore Grace Kingston Randy Knapp Larry Lane Jody Lane Gndy Leer Vickie Lewis Steve Lindsey Cynthia Loudermilk Penny McClure Joe McDowell Barry Maddux Mariane Markussen 87 Claudia Minear Bobbie Montgomery Glen Montgomery Mike Moore Joy Moss Anita Nunn Gary Owens Marilyn Owens Brad Paro Mary Parris Joyce Payne Marcia Perkins Bob Phillips Robert Poole Clyde Ray Dennis Reed Sandra Rjghter Sandra Ritter Chris Roberson Rick Rodclander Steve Rogers Tim Romo Ronnie Rose Craig Sample Jill Schwanke Joe Shantz Debbie Skinner Mari Slocum Carolyn Smith Vickie Smith Steve Spence Sharyl Spilman Denise Spoering Elaine Spurlock Sherry Stafford Denis Sutton Chip Sweancy Rhonda Sweaney Vickie Sweaney Rece Swigert Nancy Thompson Owen Tribble Brian Trotter Shirley Turner Dana Vandcrlicht Doug Vest Benny Wallace Dennis Wallace Karen Wallace Julie Weitzcl Deborah White Lynn Whitworth Penny W'ingo 88 Sandy Abercrombie Sandra Ahart Jan Alford Dale Allen SOPHOMORES Chris Anischlcr Morgan Atchley Viola Atkisson Jill Atteberry Patsy Atteberry Martin Austin Graig Ballard Paul Barber Ted Bates Tim Beard Carl Beehler Ilene Boer Kevin Boggs Toni Bonner Kelly Bradley Rodney Brethowcr Teddy Brixey Eva Brown Mike Brown Regina Brown Kathy Bryant Carolyn Burd Jody Burton Ian Cantlon Cathy Cassity Billy Chapman Mark Charleton Dale Chastain Steve Covert Warren Crothers David Chapman Karen Dame Janice Davis Rick Davis Teresa Dcckard Cindy Dibbcn 89 Lcesa Dickenson Lynda Dismang Terry Dowell Debbie Drinkall Doug Drinkall Kevin Dull Elaine Durham Greg Eisman Martha Evans Charlie Finck Doug Franklin John Freeman Lisa Frey Jeff Camel Carl Gann Mark Gardner Kelley Ga ugh ran David Good Gary Green Andy Gronniger Mitch Hale James Hall Nancy Hamacher Darlene Haney Tony Henderson Anna Hicks Donald Hicks Pat Hill Joe Horner Tommy Howerton Robert Hunget Ronnie Hungct Julie James Diane Johnson Steve Johnson Randall Jones Cindy Kay Stacey Keith Catherine Kingston Rene Kreisel Carl Lawson Mike Lewis Gary Lockheart Danny Loudcrmilk Dale Lowe James Luce Pam McDowell Curtis Miller Randy Miller Mitchell Miner Ricky Mitchell Kirby Montgomery 90 Pam Morgans Colleen Nimmo Leon Nimmo Jackie Nixon A1 Nyberg Don Oliver Curtis Oudin Bonita Owens Mike Owens Wayne Owcnsby Sharlene Owenby David Pachmayr Elizabeth Patterson Peggy Patrick Regina Pierce Scott Pitts Peggy Potter Joyce Powell Randy Ray Mike Rcdwinc Tim Rogers Dexter Romo Wyatt Sample Sharon Saunders Bonita Shantz Rhonda Shaw Sharon Shewmaker Wayne Shields Penny Shoemaker Ronnie Simmons Donna Skinner Mike Slater David Smith Karen Smith Laurel Smith Ronnie Smith Debbie Stafford Madonna Steinmaek Vincent Stroup Pam Suha William Sutton Tom Taylor Henry Theison Carolyn Thompson Nancy Tummons Pam Vest Bret Viets David Wallace Ricky Wright Mike Worley Earl Worley Billy Woody Susan Wood Gina Wimberly Jerl Whillock J.

She was one who kept her troubles quiet. She never really hated anyone; but, very humanly, she flared at passing remarks and then tried to make up even though it hurt her pride. Often she would ask the Lord to forgive her mistakes and others their trespasses. She had a strong sense of right and wrong and stood for what she thought was right. She came to my house on that Saturday night, November 16. We had a good time chattering together, and I wanted her to stay all week-end; but there was a family jaunt to take on Sunday, so that came first. Her family ties were strong. But now it’s a memory of Yesterday never to be repeated because my friend was killed in a car wreck November 17, 1974. Why she is dead the Lord only knows. She was and she will always be my friend. Her name is Diana Lynn Sutton. Carolyn Larimer, Senior ’75. Diana Lynn Sutton was born August 1, 1956, in Washington D.C. From 1959 to 1963 she lived in and near Louisburg, Missouri, returning there in 1966 and attending the Buffalo schools since then. She was an active member of the Louisburg Christian Church and had planned to pursue a nursing career after gradua- tion in the spring of 1975. 1. Diana Sutton was a Senior. 2. Diana is pictured with her dog. 3. She was in first grade in 1962. 4. Diana poses with “little brother, Dennis. 5. She enjoyed swimming with her brothers at the age of eleven. 6. Like all toddlers, she loved animals. 7. Diana and her Mother Gladys share a quiet moment. 96 EIGHTH Carolyn Allen Russel Allen Brenda Atkisson James Austin Donna Barber GRADE Terri Bartee Tim Bass Brian Beard Claudia Bennett Joy Bennett

Each grade had a bake sale, and the grade that raised the most money went to a special P.T.A. party. Their theme was “The Monster's Holiday,” and there was a delightful music program with all grades participating. The P.T.A. gave a small amount of money to each teacher for her classroom needs and bought many library and medical supplies. Long Lane was the only school in Buffalo to hold a carnival for the P.T.A. this year. 1. Mrs. Randall’s kindergartners make Christmas trees. 2. Mrs. Ashworth’s musicians will soon join the ranks of the Junior High School Band. 3. The Long Lane Carnival royalty included: Brian Ragland and Kimberly Rainwater, first grade; Marty Bennett and Helen Kingston, second grade; Jared Newkirk, kindergarten escort; Doug Richardson and Ronna Clark, second grade King and Queen; Michele Rush, Kindergarten flower girl; Rodney Tribble and Laura Oldham, sixth grade; Danny Rogers and Carole Sufficool, fifth grade; Clint West and Therisa Walters, fourth grade. 123 Retakes Paul Bolin Olin Bradford Bcckic Burd Charles Cody Tommie Croley Cindy Hlliott Debra Elliott Thomas Elliott Robert Gaughran Blake Gilpin Chris Good J.R.

There are, however, layouts that all have certain deadlines, and all work must be in by March 1. The staff selects the Bison King and Queen who are honored in the yearbook, which arrives just before the May School closing. In the summer, some students work on the sup- plement, which includes graduation and other senior activities and is delivered in the fall. 1.

But till that time arrives, you can rest your eyes and begin again. 128 Superin ten den t Mallory Speaks to Youth Probably one of the greatest gifts to man is that of “MEMORY”. It can be a real blessing; or. on the other hand, it can be a haunting condemnation.

Box 229 Springfield, Missouri Congratulations Seniors The Optimist Club 18207239 You may score the winning touchdown that will take the conference crown, or yours may be a meager six points tacked onto the,end of a major shutout. Then again, you may not even catch the pass. It makes no difference. The main idea is to keep moving forward and not quit simply because you are ahead or because another had advanced beyond you. The most you can possibly give is your best. The Bison hopes we have left with you a small part of this year that will make your harvest of memories complete. We wish you the best of luck in the future. May the best always be yours. if 176 vw.
