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
