Expressions of... ... hit the books

PIDDLIN' GROUND We all have sometime alone — away from the rush of the school day and all the chattering people. This is the time that we are truly ourselves, totally uninfluenced by peers. What do you think of when you hear the word “hobby” ... A book of stamps, a collection of old coins, a daily walk in the woods, a quilt you are working on? A hobby is all of these things and more. To put it plainly, a hobby is simply an expression of oneself. A time alone when you do things that you as an individual enjoy — not something you do because everyone else is do- ing it. It is a time alone in pursuit of our special interest that best re- flects our true personality. These are just a very few of the many ways that students at Buffalo High School expressed themselves through hobbies. Hobbies reveal characteristics of ourselves that are uniquely ours and no one else’s. Below: James Krummel. is exercising his expression of crcalivc writing What better place is there than the Ozarks for relax- ing? Above: Junior Kelly Peace knew the answer to that question. Peace often spent his spare time at Ben- nett Springs State Park reinforcing the good ol’ American pastime of goin’ fishin’. At left: Jim Evans, Sophomore, per- sued a hobby that involved a great deal of his “piddlin'-around time. Evans stated, I like to paint pic- tures of animals... they’re a great art form.” At right: Ross Evertt, Junior, tap danced for his personal expression. He also danced at Silver Dollar City during '82 as an entertainer. 8

ACADEMICS A VI LAST! The Annual Staff of 1983 is proud to present for the first time a section devoted exclusively to one of the most important reasons we have for stumbling out of bed in the morning to come to school, our school's academic courses. The section is called, appropriately enough, “Academics.” ACADEMICS PHYSICAL ED ’A V, ■' 'Vw f r- J ■ $ V'. -? An idea that has been prominent in Western Civilization since the days of Ancient Greece and Rome is expressed in the Latin motto “Mens sana in corpore sano.” This tradition of a sound mind in a sound body is passed on by our school’s physical education courses. Not only is physical education necessary for good physical health, but also for social and mental well- being. In P.E. and Advanced P.E., students participated in a wide variety of sports, including softball, volleyball, archery, soccer, tennis, and football. Students who studied Health learned about personal hygiene, disease, first aid, and nutrition. Not only do physical education classes maintain the good health of students during their high school years, but they also instill a desire to stay in good physical condition throughout their lives. v A ■X • a - -r- -Vrt..
