Buffalo High School - Bison Yearbook (Buffalo, MO)

In 1988, Buffalo will have a new school to be proud of. Although the school is far from completion, the affect it has had on the stu- dents' morale is obvious throughout the cam- pus. Students took a serious interest in the bond issue, and for a very good reason; their future. Drafting classes made a scale model of the new school; art classes made posters; BHS performing groups from Buffalo Gals to Speech entertained at the Bond pep rally; student council members guided tours; and National Honor Society members handed out pamphlets — and all to help inform the voters of the deteriorating conditions of the school. The Bond pep rally was the highlight of the campaign. It was held on Monday night, February 3, 1986, and received TV coverage. The purpose of the rally was to actually show the voters how bad the conditions in the high school had become. On February 4th the excitement could be felt throughout the campus. Students and teachers were too happy and excited to work. The bond issue had passed by 68.4 percent. The students, led by the cheerleaders, began to cheer. In moments the whole student body had joined hands they cheered for their school, and did a snake dance around the city square. For the First time in quite a while the students felt they really had a reason to cheer. They had worked together for a common goal and they had achieved it. This was the beginning of a new image for BHS, one of school pride and school spirit. Above: Students celebrate the passing of the bond issue by doing a snake dance through town. Below The old army barracks will be used for another school year, while the 'new” school is completed. I’m very happy the bond issue passed. It will be neat to be first class to gra- duate from the new” BHS. Lance Mills I think the new school will improve the students' desire to learn and their pride in the school. Mrs. Cully, Stu-Co Advisor. Student Involvement showed the communi- ty that the students really cared. It played a big part in passing the bond issue. Joelle Hillhouse, Stu-Co Pres. I'm happy the bond issue went through. I hope it will give everyone a reason to feel good about our school and inspire more school spirit. Melissa Smith I think the new school is going to be a big step for Buffalo, now we won’t have to worry about falling bricks anymore.” William Popejoy Of course I'm glad it passed, I voted for it!!!

IN PURSUIT OF IMPROVEMENT New Images at BHS

IN PURSUIT Tami Caswell managed to be a good parent and student. Shawn Sample and Christy Frye take a break from their tough Gal schedule. Jim Ritch rushed a phenomenal 1S85 yards this year. Scout and annual staff work hard to meet dead- Shelly Taylor and Jamie Beckner practice their duet for lines. meets. APPROVAL Having lived this long at BHS without turning into a psychopathic killer or a sex maniac, I feel I am qualified to tell you how to achieve your goals. Here are six sure fire steps (that your teachers never told you) to help you achieve your goals: 1. Marry rich. It helps to marry a rich old person with one foot in the grave. (Of course this person will probably live on and on.) 2. Don’t be afraid to brown nose occasionally. Even though colleagues will show contempt for you, your boss will love it, therefore moving you up the company ladder. 3. Don't be afraid to make sacrifices. Working overtime, on weekends, on vacation, and even in bed at night, will help you achieve your goals. 4. If you are unmarried, dating your boss (as- suming it is of the opposite sex) can move you up the ladder faster than almost anything. 5. Don't let the woman with the fake cleavage or the man with the fake chest hair, steal that promotion you worked so hard for. If you are the man or woman that I mentioned, totally disre- gard this step. 6. Be loyal. Be loyal to your job, boss, and country. But if a better job comes along, the heck with loyalty. 6 Jodie Taylor
