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. The Bison Pep Club this year boosted a strong membership. 5. Dan Bower is the first player from Buffalo ever to be so honored. This year Dan was chosen for the All-Conference team; All-Ozark team; and All-State. One of Dan’s favorite things when he’s out there on the field is tackling their quarterbacks. 6. Lee Price is a Bison! This year Lee made All-Conference, 2nd All- Ozark, and All-State teams. When Lee’s out there playing football, he gets kicks opening up holes for the ball carriers to go through. 7. We were very proud to have ten of our boys making the COC All- Conference Team. 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.
