School spirit was on the rise this year but not without good cause. The Bulldog grid iron squad placed second in the Southwestern Conference, while record crowds supported the mighty ’dogs to the very end. Yearbook staff members contri- buted to the cause by giving a slide show. Everybody rocked to the sounds of ELO, Charlie Daniels, and Billy Joel, while shots of events around:school and spirit slogans flashed across the thirty foot wide screen. 1SXohdotmed ocreyulcr-Kebbetcam-lent t-te lcm) oleyee sored a bonfire before the North Gas- ton football game.

After lead- ing the league for most of the season, the Bulldogs dropped a 27-0 decision over fast Gaston, boosting Crest to the conference championship and a play-off birth. None-the-less, our var- sity team finished with a 7-3 record, the best of any other Bulldog team. This season was filled with ups and downs. The ’dogs defeated all the other county schools. We recorded 6 Varsity Football ¢ BULLVOGS ROLL TO Beer SEASUN EVER PNA I AE HARMON OA EE LEM NETS ANE RE HER 2 BEN three overtime victorys in a row. We beat the conference champs. Unfortu- nately, two of our three losses came at a crucial point in our season. This was when the championship was decided. After four weeks of hard work, the Bulldogs opened the young season with a 27-8 victory over Kings Moun- tain. Senior tailback Timmy Kee rol- led up 151 yards in 14 carries and three touchdowns off a stunned Mountaineer defense. a) “ ? ¥ we ican — a ; ve AAS iS Agr per A wild offensive show stunned our home crowd as Cherryville held on to win 33-25. Down 26-13 in the fourth quarter, the Bulldogs shifted into high gear to score 12 quick points. How- ever, they were stopped 16 yards short of tying the game. The Ironmen took over at their own 20 to run out the clock. Timmy Kee rushed for 177 yards. “This has to be the greatest moment of my life’’ was coach Greene’s reac- 5 te es _ tion to the double overtime win over Shelby, 28-27. Tim Kee and Al Floyd were the offensive spark, while linebacker Victor Wilson added the spark for the defense. Floyd was 7-21 for 152 yards and Kee added 133 yards rushing. The ’dogs repeated their act, beating R.S. Central 23-22 in a second over- time victory. With 73 yards to go in 53 seconds Floyd cranked up his passing attack and hit split end Marion Crow to tie the game. After R.S. scored in overtime, Al Floyd sneaked across the endzone to score. In a two point gam- ble, Crow ran an ‘‘end around” to win. As impossible as it is to believe the mighty Bulldogs won their third over- time victory over South Point 20-14. True to form, quarterback Al Floyd led the late rally with a 48 yard bomb to Ulysses Tuft. Timmy Kee again paced the offense with 121 yards and an over- time touchdown.

Varsity Football 7 Before more than 6000 fans at Crest stadium, the ’dogs defeated the confer- ence champs 7-3. ‘‘Our defense was re- sponsible for the win,’’ commented coach Greene. Crest opened the scoring with a field goal in the second quarter. The score remained unchanged until senior fullback Frank Porter rambled 27 yards for the only touchdown. Line- backers Thomas Herring, Victor Wilson, and Ulysses Tuft led the defensive surge. 8 Varsity Football Maintaining a temporary grip on first place, the Bulldogs blanked the East Rutherford Cavaliers 19-0. Again Al Floyd started the offense moving in the second half with completions of 40, 15 and 32 yards. This opened up the game for a 12 point scoring spree. The de- fense recorded its first shut out. The ’dogs recorded their seventh conference win with a 18-6 decision over North Gaston. The homecoming crowd watched as the Bulldogs took one step closer to the conference cham- pionship. Then disaster struck. With the Championship seemingly in hand, the ‘dogs were upset by the Chase Trojans 10-6. The final hope for a champi- onship was erased with a 27-0 loss to a fired up East Gaston team. Page 8: TOP — Tailback Tim Kee breaks for big yardage against East Gaston.

Starting off the season with a win, the ’dogs beat a tough Kings Mountain defense 6-0. The team then hosted East Gaston with a 22 to 8 victory. The ‘dogs picked up their third win with a forfeit from Bessemer City. Next the team traveled to Shelby High, where Then came the agony of defeat. With an undefeated season and first place on the line, the Bulldogs ran head on with a charged up Charger offense. Crest scored 28 points on our defense which previously had not given up more than 16 points a game. Crest won 28-0. CONTINUES For the first time in three years, the junior varsity football team lost its first game. The team ended with a 6-1 record, including a forfeit. The baby Bulldogs were 7-0 in the past two The Bulldogs showed their pride by bouncing off their loss to smash East Rutherford again 40-0.

Along with the usual routine of practice, pep rallies, and games, the cheerleaders took turns every week making trips to the radio station, publicizing the games and promoting school spirit. Varsity cap- tain Denise Martin stated, ‘“‘Using the radio helped us get in touch with fans that do not go to Burns High School. We had more spirit and support be- cause of this.” The cheerleaders tried other ways to spread pep and enthusiasm to Bulldog fans. Dozens of posters were made, as well as stickers, badges, and streamers. These were either sold or given to the student body and other fans to show support for the Mighty Bulldogs. As a special spirit boaster, lions tails made by some of the cheerleaders and sold for 50 cents to urge our football team to victory against Shelby High School. According to the cheerleaders, selling and giving away spirit boosters helped Burns’ fans show their love for the school and its teams. They all agreed it was worth the trouble.

Varsity Cheerleaders 15 CHEERING CAMIP SUCCESSFUL The cheerleaders sponsored a day camp which enabled them to purchase new vests and skirts. The camp was held on August 2, 1980 in the Burns High School gym. Approximately 75 girls attended, including the squads from Kings Mountain Junior High, Dover-Lattimore Elementary, and Boil- ing Springs Elementary. Awards were given for the Best All Around Cheer- leader, the Most Improved Cheerleader, and the Most Spirited Cheerleader. The fee was $5 per girl. The cheerleaders made approximately $375 on this project. 16 JV Cheerleaders TOP — Meredith Phifer and Kim Hillyer get the sophomores fired up during a pep rally.

READY AND WAITING With a third place season finish, the Bulldogs went into the Confer- ence Tournament ready and optimis- tic. In the first round, Burns smashed the East Gaston Warriors 75-58. Es- tablishing a quick tempo in the sec- ond quarter, Burns burried the War- riors with the fast break. Bernard Brooks led the scoring drive with 18 points, while Edward Hopper added 14, Doug Simmons had 12, and Dar- ryl Robbs had 10. “This was one of our best games overall,’’ said coach George Hall about the R.S. Central game. He add- ed, ‘‘We handled their press well and did a good job scoring off their inside game.’ Burns was defeated 74-70. ‘‘We had at least four oppor- tunities,’’ coach Hall said. ‘‘We mis- sed a three-on-one layup that could have put us ahead. If we got the lead, it could have made a difference. Each time we missed, they came back and hit and got us down.” Edward Hop- per led Burns’ board display with 15 rebounds while Doug Simmons had nine. Burns lost Simmons, Darryl Robbs, and Bernard Brooks due to fouls. “T’m proud of the effort,’’ coach Hall said. ‘‘We came back at least three times.

SILL WAS Tiille en The girls’ varsity basketball team finished the season with an explosive 13-5 record. The key to the team’s suc- cess was the experience of the six re- turning varsity players. In the first six games of the season, Burns lost only one game, to Crest by a score of 51-42. Gail Williams put up a nobel effort to save the game by scoring twelve points and Denise Williams had fourteen rebounds. The Lady Bulldogs’ winning streak was interrupted when Shelby defeated Burns 47-36. Burns returned and beat North Gaston 55-42 with Annette Whitworth having most rebounds and Gail Williams as high scorer. The girls then lost to East Gaston by a score of 56-50 and to R.S. Central by a score of 56-54 Next came what proved to be the most exciting game of the season with Crest losing to the Bulldogs 51-50 in overtime. In the fourth quarter with six seconds left on the clock, the Chargers led by two points, but Burns executed well after a missed free throw. Beverly Wright got control of the ball and made a lay-up, but was fouled as the buzzer sounded. The successful free throw with no time remaining brought another Bulldog victory. Burns kept on winning for the next four games. Beverly Wright was the high scorer in each game with an aver- age of twenty points per game. The girls then lost to Shelby with Beverly having fifteen points in the 52-42 game. There was a 57-27 victory over North Gaston and in the last game of the sea- son, the Lady Bulldogs defeated East Gaston 61-50 with Gail Williams scor- ing twenty points. Basketball 23 MISTAKES STOP GUALS East Gaston was the host school for the Southwestern Conference High School Basketball Tournament. Burns’ girls went into the tournament with a 12-6 record and were seeded third. The Lady Bulldogs defeated their first opponent, North Gaston, 50-38. “Our pressure defense really worked well for us. Then, the full-court press helped us generate some turnovers for east baskets in the final period,’ coach Pruett stated. ‘“‘The transition game was a big boost down the stretch.’’ Beverly Wright led the team’s offensive play with 18 points and Gail Williams added 15 points, 14 of them in the final quarter. Denise Williams had five assists and 13 re- bounds, and Annette Whitworth also had five assists. In the semi-final game, Burns’ girls faced t he Kings Mountain Lady Mountaineers. The final outcome of that game was 50-48 in Kings Moun- tain’s favor. At the end of the first period, the Lady Bulldogs had a 10-2 edge, but Kings Mountain fought back and with six minutes remaining in the last period, were ahead by elev- en points. Persistant defensive play enabled the Lady Bulldogs to tie the score at 44 with 1:50 remaining. However, Kings Mountain pulled away and although Burns tied the score twice more, a shot by the Lady Mounties with one second on the clock won the game for Kings Moun- tain. Coach Pruett commented, ‘I thought we played hard and hustled, but made some mental mistakes that were the downfall for the Lady Bulldogs.” Beverly Wright scored 13 points for Burns and Annette Whit- worth scored 10. The girls met St. Stephens in the first round of the District 7 Tourna- ment held at Mooresville. They ad- vanced into the semi-final round by beating St. Stephens 64-62 in over- time. In this round they again squeezed out another win, beating South Iredell 51-50. In the finals, the lady Bulldogs were dumped by a fired up Statesville team 57-50. 24 Basketball Late in the id obbue Meptt-buc-vus be cel-Meh i Ow abet-lu-t-beale against Kings Mountain, Beverly Wright grabs a rebound. c TOP LEFT — One minute into the second period of the District VII finals against States- ville, Lorna Withrow powers her way to the basket.

OW ele I TAs OF WIG TORY This years wrestling team, just like our football team, set a new record. For the past two years our wrestling team went winless. Finally, coach Bob Cabi- ness produced his first win, beating East Lincoln 41-32. The team finished the season with a 4-5-1 record. After the win to East Lin- coln, the ““Maddogs’”’ traveled to South Point to tie 38-38. The Bulldogs added two more wins to their record, beating arch rivals Shelby 37-28, and Chase 40-35. The team took its first loss from Crest, 58-7. The rest of the season was highlighted with wins over South Point and Chase. In tournament play, the ‘“Maddogs’”’ placed fifth in the Conference and eighth in the Sectionals. Eight of our wrestlers placed in the Conference, with three given all-conference honors. Richard Carson placed first, Kim Dover and David Wise placed second, David Allen and Kevin Davis placed third, Jeff Bowman and Darrel Beighley placed fourth, and Barry McKee placed fifth. Only three of our wrestlers are ad- vancing to the Regional tournament. Richard Carson, Kim Dover and David Wise all must extend their season and hope to go to the State tournament. Wrestling 27 . ) e Fits Wiel Snow, sleet, or rain ALMOST didn’t stop coach Bob Cabiness from hosting the 1981 Conference Tournament. In a last minute decision, coach Cabiness was forced into postponing the first round. So, wrestlers from our confer- ence were dragged out of bed as early as 4:00 a.m. The tournament was set up in double-elimination rounds. There were six rounds in all, consisting of a quar- terfinal, semi-final, first consolation, second consolation, consolation final, and the final round. As each wrestler advanced in a round, his team was awarded points. The points were to- taled up to determine a team champi- onship. The result of the team scores are as follows: Crest — 175; East Gaston — 159; North Gaston — 116%; Kings Mountain — 102; Burns — 9414; Chase — 6012; Shelby — 56; and South Point 31. The individual champions were as follows: 98 lbs. — Richard Carson, Burns: 105 lbs. — Joey Wytle, Kings Mountain; 112 lbs. — Mike Norris, East Gaston; 119 lbs. — Kevin Howell, Shelby; 126 lbs. — Tommy Martin, North Gaston; 132 lbs. — Len Litton, Crest; 138 lbs. — Chip Raby, North Gas- ton; 155 lbs. — Scott Nolen, Crest; 167 lbs. — Robbie Ray, North Gaston; 185 lbs. — Aaron Cloniger, North Gaston; 195 Ibs. — Paul Tate, Crest; Heavyweight — John Logan, East Gas- ton. 28 Wrestling i TOP — David Wise has the advantage over his Kings Mountain opponent in the confer- ence tournament.

Bev received both all-conference and the most valuable player awards as she hit better than a .500 average and hit 9 homeruns. Helping the Bulldogs smear Shelby 18 to 1, Tammy Bradshaw pitched a one-hitter, while Bev Wright and 30 Boys Tennis Softball 2 Marsha Ward each had three hits. Centerfielder Carol Borders and catcher Lori Hoyle teamed up for the game winning play against the North Gaston Wildcats. With a runner on sec- ond base, the batter flied out to Carol, who threw the ball to Lori tagging the runner out. The Bulldogs won the game 2-1. The team’s toughest game was played against East Rutherford. The Bulldogs lost 5-6 with two extra in- nings. Bev Wright, Anne Whisnant, and Donna Spangler each had two hits and Anne hit a home run. “We had a good team, but we just couldn’t get it together. Coach Homes- ley is a great guy and a great coach and I think next year will be an outstanding year for us,’’ mentioned Valerie Baker. Coach Homesley mentioned that the Bulldogs power came from their hitting while the outfield was their weakest point. The 1979-80 season brought a lot of changes for the boys tennis team, most importantly a new coach and an im- provement in their record. Senior Bob Blackburn said, ‘‘Coach Jolly is the best! He’s not just a great coach he has a great sense of humor.”’ “They worked hard over the summer and practiced more than ever,’’ com- mented Jolly. ‘‘The leadership of Bill Elam and Wayne Cody helped persuade the rest of the team to work harder.”’ Mr. Jolly feels that the team will keep improving and pushing harder. ‘ Page 30: TOP — Mark Brackett makes a very tight shot.

The team finished the season with an overall conference record of 2-6. Senior Marsha Ward said, ‘‘We didn’t have a winning season but it was a good expe- rience for all of us.” The Bulldogs won the opening game 8-1 against R.S. Central. The next match was non-conference, against West Lincoln. Burns won, 5-4. Playing without the third and sixth seed players, Burns lost to North Gaston 5-4. After this disappointing loss, Burns came back to defeat Chase 5-4. Next came five more losses, the biggest being Kings Mountain and Shelby, both 9-0. This year’s top-seed player, Valerie Baker said, ‘““The competition was hard- er but I learned a lot from it.” Junior Lisa Lackey commented on the team, ‘“‘We get along real good, like a family.” -. ee Girls Tennis 33 ALMOST PERFECT RECORD For the second straight year Burns’ baseball team reached the conference finals. Tied for first place with Crest, Burns was determined to win. But Kings Mountain had other plans. De- spite profound efforts, the Bulldogs lost both games to their arch rival in the “best two out of three series.’’ And for the second straight year, the Mounties’ took the trophy home. Dark clouds and pouring rain caused postponement of many games. Even practices were affected by this unusu- 34 Baseball ally “wet” weather. However, this didn’t seem to make a big difference to spectators. They came, rain or shine, with spirits soaring, watching intently until the last out was made. This sup- port from the Bulldog fans could be the reason for Baseball’s 14-3 season record. Through all this there were many exciting times. The home run spree against Chase began when Barry Shuford hit a three-run blast, and then he and Tony Abernathy hit solo home runs later in the game, the final score 10-4. Other home runs by Ken Byrd, Mel- vin Clark, and Tim Williams through- out the season kept the fire burning. Skillful pitching done by senior Louie Grigg 5-0, and juniors Al Floyd 4-2, and Tim Williams 5-1, did not suc- ceed in making the Bulldogs confer- ence champs. However, their 14-3 record is the best in Burns’ history. i aeile Pee.

Baseball 35 SPIRITS AREN'T DAMPIENIEDD Only winning three of sixteen games didn’t stop the volleyball team from having fun. Their record of 3-13 didn’t even dis- courage them. ‘‘Even though we didn’t have a winning season, it was a good expe- rience for me,’’ stated senior Annette Whitworth. The team defeated their archrivals from Shelby in a match consisting of three games. Senior Lorna Withrow recalls the match. ‘‘We lost the first game, but after that we were psyched up and blew them out the last two games to win the match.” The team’s toughest match was played against North Gaston. The Bulldogs were tough but the Wildcats were just a little tougher. Burns lost both games. Coach George Hall remarked that he felt the team had improved,’’. . . in the skills of hitting the ball and playing better as a teatines 36 Volleyball Golf Track mt i @ .% ‘ % - %, ' Me. = es a plage oe ee me P a the a ‘ty, ‘ % =e et ; wwe , ¥ oe | -4 o F BEST Pk AUF OR Mlele Scoring 44 out of a possible 110 points, Doug Simmons had one of the best track performances of anyone at Burns High. Doug scored Burns’ only point in the triple jump event at the conference meet. Doug likes to run because it keeps him in shape and prepares him for the basketball season. He jogged from Allen’s Seafood home from practice everyday, approximately three miles. Doug is not only good in track. He was all-conference in cross country, placing second or third in all his | meets. Coach Hall is counting on him heavily to take the slack from graduating four starters from last year’s basketball team. Page 36: TOP — Marty Gee and his East Gaston opponent wait to tee off.

Six of our run- ners placed in the top twelve posi- tions. Richard and Doug both finished with the top five runners. The team added another second place finish, edging South Point by one point. Richard and Darrel Smith were the only two Burns runners to place in the top ten. In the first home meet, the Bulldogs won with four runners in the top ten. Richard coasted in first, giving Burns a ten point edge over North Gaston. The Bulldogs lost their next meet, which decided the first place team. Richard placed fourth. Overall, the team ended their sea- son with a 7-6 record, a sixth place finish, and two all-conference run- ners. Page 38: Senior Stan Murrow shows his own form of running.

The finished with 11 wins and 7 losses while the girls had 8 wins and only 2 losses. This tied a school record for Burns’ J.V. girls. The boys season opened with R-S Central. They weren’t too successful the first few games. But lots of practice and dedication brought eleven victori- ous games. This years boys team didn’t have height, however they did possess great quickness. Coach Atkinson is very proud of his boys. He stated early in the season, ‘‘We’re playing more man to man this year. This may affect our win- ning, but the boys will be better pre- pared for the varsity team.’’ Coach At- kinson had great predictions for his team, and by working together throughout the season, the J.V. boys came out winners. Two players for the team, Sam Aker and Clarence Whit- worth, said, ‘I like playing J.V. basket- ball. It has been a good experience and I’m looking forward to playing varsity next year.”’ The J.V. girls team tied a school record. They won 8 games and lost only 2. Coach Homesley stated, “I am very proud of my girls and feel they im- proved throughout the season.” Soph- omore Susan Smith was high scorer of the season with Leoned Boulanger trail- ing behind her. During the game against R-S, Leoned scored 12 points and blocked four shots. Burns came out on top 35-30.

But it was taken in stride and comments like, ‘‘I guess the swim team practices today,” could be heard. January 30 gave us a break in the routine by bringing some snow. 46 Student Life os Snow days are always re but not half as much as the da ysvit: called for and did not come. Cold Pod stay around long. Senior girls go FLOUS their pride when they lost the powder puff game to the Junior power house. Seniors took it on the chin again in the volleyball intramurals when idetchy were denied the chance to play in the finals by Mr. Jolley’s and Mrs. With- trow’s homerooms. Mrs. Withrow’s sophomores won the last two games of the best of three series and carried the title away. Gas prices climbed to $1.30 per gal- lon but we still found that bit of extra cash to ride around on weekends.

Dances 49 A New Kind of HOMECOMING 50 Homecoming Activities Teachers’ work day does not effect school spirit. Homecoming this year was quite different from past years. This year Burns High students were out of school because of a teachers work day. “Gosh, I can’t believe we’re out of school on our homecoming!’’ re- marked senior Renee Walker. Junior Chris Edwards added, “‘It just doesn’t seem right.” A slight change was in store for the annual homecoming activities. Since there was no school on Friday, there was no outdoor pep rally, which left no time for a mini-parade. Therefore, nobody needed to work extra hard to prepare first period mini-floats. Most of the extra time went to get club floats ee ‘ ready for the parade. The FBLA and VICA, along with the sophomore and junior councils entered a float. FBLA took first place, with VICA placing second and the junior council, third. When asked why more clubs didn’t have floats, the answers were, ‘‘We just didn’t have enough time and student i. a es ° . Seed oa a - Pos Cae ig participation.”’ Following the parade a bonfire was held at the school. This was a time for students to get together and have fun. Hotdogs and drinks were served by BHS cheerleaders. Adding to the excitement, the Waco Ruritan Club donated a dunking Page 50: TOP LEFT — Cold students gather around the bonfire while waiting for the acti- vities to begin.

Burns High students found that walking the halls was the only time to socialize. Junior Lori Ledford stated, “It gives me a chance to talk to friends I never see during the day.” “I love to cut up and say ‘howdy’ to everybody and it’s the only exercise! ever get,”’ said junior Lisa Lyons. For some people, walking the halls was merely an escape from homeroom. As sophomore Randy Thompson put a, it, “It wastes time going to home- room.” Senior Sharon Brackett had the same idea, ‘It’s better than sitting in homeroom.”’ Not everyone wal ked the halls. They sat in the bus lobby on the benches, or leaned against the radiators and talked to people who passed. Sophomore Todd Hammond had this to say, “‘No, I sit cause I’m too tired to walk in the morning.’’ Senior Greg McDougal doesn’t walk the halls for one reason only. “I can hardly get up in the morn- ing much less come to school and walk around for 20 minutes!”’ Walking the halls was not just a pas- time. It was a tradition. Walking The Halls 57 New uniforms TEAMS purchased This year’s athletes were blessed with new uniforms.

Cleveland County Fair, Sept. 26 — Oct. 4. This year’s fair was again a suc- cess in spite of the rain Sunday, Mon- day, and Tuesday. Many changes were made in the fair this year. Last year’s ever-popular “Hymalaya’”’ was replaced with the “Flying Bobs.” The ‘“Skydiver” and “Superloops”’ returned once_again. “The Superloops” to me was like a head rush.” said Celeste Harkey. A new ride which was probably the most popular, the ‘‘Sea Dragon”’, was added. This ride, a giant viking ship that swings back and forth, high into the air, features rock-n-roll music, so it is easily seen and heard. This is why it is such a favorite. Sometimes it can cost a lot of money to go to the fair. The entrance fee is $2.00. Rides range in price from about $.70 to $1.40. Food and games just add to the bill. This year people who went to the fair had a chance to save money. Fair officials offered an ‘‘armband special”’. 62 Night Life The Weekend SCENE Cruising the strip, munching out made Shelby “‘the’’ place to be. “Is the light ever gonna change?”’ “Don’t look now, but that goofy guy on your right sure is getting his eyes full.” “Oh light hurry up!”’ “Look! there goes Kenny Hallman.”’ “Light!!!” ‘Whew!

Cruising down 74, meeting our friends, munching out on a Big Mac, parking at Burger King until the cops ran us off, this was the weekend scene at Shelby. Some may say, “‘Big thrill, it’s a waste of gas.” But to others at Burns High, a lap around McDonalds was worth it. Shelby was “‘THE” hangout, but some preferred to show their stuff at Roller- ama and Kates skating rinks. If they didn’t especially like skating, Pinball machines held just as great an attrac- tion. The dating scene was usually at one of the three theaters in Shelby, The Flick, Rogers and the Cinema. There was nothing like holding hands with your steady. Also, if he was not so macho, it was dark so you couldn’t see him. Shelby might not have been the greatest place in the world, but it was the ‘‘only’”’ place. We could have cruised in Fallston, if the girls would have settled for D.J.’s instead of God- fathers, and the Community Kitchen was McDonalds. And most importantly if a cop wouldn’t have been sitting at Stameys all night. 64 Night Life Page 64: LEFT — Myra Royster talks to her friends at Burger King.

AO pi RO SRR AEA AEE ITE RRO BR 80h GORA SENE LER SERVER AE LAE AEA: tess ARNE RION 0 As graduation speakers addressed their class, mothers looked on with pride; fellow students with respect, but could they really appreciate the hard work, time and ability that that one final night required? Honor graduates, that is students who exibited good service, leadership and character, plus a 3.75 accumula- tive average were eligible for tryouts. All the honor graduates who were trying out voted for the three prime speakers. The speakers were chosen on the basis of vocal force and plat- form behavior. The six highest were the speakers and alternates. The alter- nates practiced just as hard as the speakers. If something came up they would be able to fill in on the spot. Mrs. Dixon commented, “‘This takes a lot of patience on the part of the alter- nates, because they know that nine times out of ten they won’t get the chance to speak.” The speakers practiced daily the last two weeks before graduation. They had already memorized their speech, they just needed work on their deliverance. At last that final night came with wobbling knees and queasy stomachs and enormous pride the senior speak- ers addressed their class. Organizations were on the move at Burns this year. Students are more involved with the school than I have ever seen them commented one teacher. From the pawprints in the parking lot to a new paint job in the teacher’s lounge we put in a lot of work. For the third year in a row the FCA 68 Clubs sat Pee ag hale . we and gold by sellint st dcat paws before the game against North Gaston. Members of the HOSA club sponsored a smoke-out in November. “Kiss me I don’t smoke’”’ was the slo- gan used for the campaign in which a display was set up to show the dan- gers of smoking and students were asked to stop smoking for a day. FFA members have their work cut out for them. Along with their annual fruit sale, members took on the job of clearing the woods adjacent to the bus parking lot for a fruit orchard. Completion date on this project is 1989. aa Py ET ic % — Clubs 69 Paws Painted The 1980-81 edition of the Burns High student council decided the cam- pus needed something extra. So, to let everyone know for sure that they are in “Bulldog Country’’, the student council painted giant pawprints. Where? Lead- ing into and out of the parking lots, and heading straight to the “dog house’, (that is, the field house). Lots of careful preparation was needed to get each pawprint in perfect shape. Art club members helped in drawing layouts. Then came the fun, painting. Student council members were very enthusias- tic, so there were no problems in get- ting help. Student council president, Keith Haynes, commented, ‘‘The stu- dents really helped alot. I think everyone will appreciate the pawprints, they add a ‘special touch’ to the school, Mrs. Pruett, student council advisor, was pleased with the attitudes and support shown by members and said it was a job well done. Senior Valerie Baker and sophomore Patricia Brewer agreed that ‘“‘the pawprints add to the life of the school.” Other activities sponsored by the student council included a representa- tive workshop. It was held at New Be- thel Church. During the workshop stu- dents attended different sessions, led by the officers, played games and par- ticipated in various activities and learned more about each other. The purpose of the workshop was to enable the students to learn the respon- sibilities of a student council represen- tative. ‘It was a lot of fun. I thought it was very worthwhile,” replied sopho- more Theresa Short. To get more school spirit at the home ballgames, the student council formed a ‘‘cheering section” behind the band. This proved to be very successful. Also the distribution of blue victory flags waving high, they knew they had the support of fellow students. 70 Student Council 4 oS Nas, Ne Page 70: TOP RIGHT — Senior Valerie Baker sits up and takes a look at the print that she and sophomore Patricia Brewer drew.

Student Council 71 Fund- aising Eason Football season provided a means for NHS members to raise money. Al Floyd, NHS member and quarter- back for varsity football came up with the idea of selling wildcat paws for the North Gaston game. By doing this the club could promote school spirit while at the same time raising money. After two days of cutting, sewing, and stuf- fing the paws were then sold at school and at the game for 75¢ each. The NHS took advantage of the next home game — Chase by selling doughnuts. They had 90 boxes and by the end of the game all of them had been bought. Money raised from these fundraisers went toward the induction ceremony, talent show, and NHS Scholarship. The Beta Club’s fund raising projects are a bit more traditional. This year they made $321.00 from their annual bake sale. This money goes toward the Beta Club Scholarship and other vari- ous public services. The reward for all this work comes in the spring at convention time. Last spring’s convention was held in Raliegh. The club first toured the Gov- ernor’s Mansion where they were served small refreshments. Later they voted on state officers. This was done much the same as student council elec- tions. Each candidate gave a speech and usually had some sort of funny skit. The last night there was a talent show and dance. Entertainment ranged from piano solos to the ‘‘Saturday Night Live” skit featuring Gilda Radner and the coneheads. This plus the dance ended a fun weekend for Beta members. 72 Beta NHS TOP LEFT — Karen Walker and Deborah Spurling goof-off before an assembly at the Beta Club Convention in Raleigh, N.C. begins.

The newspaper staff distributed a complimentary newspaper the first week of school. Although this put them in debt, Mrs. Dellinger felt that it would promote sales and in the long run be to their advantage. The Yearbook staff presented a slide show to the student body September 17, the day before book sales. This was designed to promote school spirit and to give students an incentive for buy- ing the yearbook. 1 pcos Pamphlets were printed and distri- buted. The idea behind this was to make the students feel important and to inform them about the prices of the books. The Yearbook staff thought that by doing this the student body would know what they were buying. Unfortunately sales did not improve as expected. This along with a rise in the publication cost and a decrease in ad sales forced the staff to cut back on the book. The regular 16 pages of color was reduced to 8. The Newspaper staff sponsored a +5 as % S ce S bs ‘‘My favorite T-shirt’? contest. The shirts were judged by appearance, originality, and how well the shirt suited the wearer’s personality. Laura Champion’s T’shirt won. It read, ‘‘I fi- nally got it all together but I forgot where I put it’’. She received a certifi- cate for a personalized and decaled T-shirt. Quill and Scroll members were cho- sen from the yearbook and newspaper staffs. They worked on ‘‘Kaleidos- cope”’ the literary magazine. It was published in the spring and consisted of art work and literary pieces. TOP LEFT — Pawprint staff members, Jackie Barner and Norma England concentrate on their layout design.

Well this is a project the Spanish Club has adopted over the past two years. Members of the Spanish Club spent hours after school creating their ‘‘mas- terpieces. ‘I just let my mind go to work,”’ commented junior Johnny An- derson, who also won first and second places in the pinata judging. Tracy Chapman placed third. There was an estimated 30 pinatas hanging from the ceiling in room 118. The largest pinata, made by Ms. Surratt was raffled off. Since it was full of $10 worth of candy many students wanted the chance ot win it. The others pinatas, were sold for var- ious prices to anyone interested. Prices ranged from 75 cents to $5. Money went toward Spanish Club scholarship. Sophomore Karen South- ard commented, “‘It took a long time but it was worth making them. We had a lot of fun and I enjoyed it.”’ Spanish 79 ts ig NS t i ‘ iN i The Making Of A Tee How are Art Club T-shirts made? Do all the Burns High students wearing their ‘Munch Out” and “‘Bulldogs Do it in Overtime’”’ original, realize all the ingenuity put into thar $5.50 Tee? Here’s the step by step instructions: STEPS FOR MAKING AN ART CLUB TEE: 1. Art Club members plan the designs and Mrs. Putnam does the final draw- ing. 2. The designs must now be cut out. This can be very tedious depending upon the details of the design. 3. Next the design must be mounted on the silkscreen. This is'done by laying the cut out design on the bottom of the silkscreen and using a special fluid to make it adhere. 4. After the designs have been silkscreened they are placed facedown on a T-shirt. The ink is placed on one end and pulled across with a squegee. 5. Finally the shirt must be ironed two times, inside and out. With all the materials set up it takes approximately five minutes to print the design, 30 minutes to dry, and then ten minutes to do the ironing. Art Club students worked from the first of November to December 16 on this project. This included staying after school on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays of every week for two to three hours. The hardest part in making the T-shirts was making sure the ink didn’t smear and the ironing. Mrs. Putnam had to do a few touch-ups when the de- signs didn’t print but there were no major mess ups.

A day, so important to some, that with- out it, there may hve been hardly any Christmas at all. FCA members began in September raising money by raffling off a stereo with $1 donations. There were also smaller 25¢ donations for raffles to win an electronic football game, was to raise $3000 to give those chil- dren the best Christmas party they possibly could. As the children arrived they were given refreshments and an FCA me mber was assigned to be in charge of one child for the evening. Later, songs were sung and Rever- end Fitz told the Christmas story to sparkly eyed listeners. And on the last verse of ‘‘Here Comes Santa Claus,’”’ in he came, through the side door. Everyone hated when the time came to leave. A feeling of having ac- complished something great was sur- facing from inside. For without this party, for some, there would have radio or other small items.

This project did not cost the Key Club much money, only about $5.00. County Maintenance supplied the paint, the club only had to buy trim brushes. According to Greg McDougal, the afternoon did get a bit messy. “‘There was paint all over everybody and ev- erything,’’ he commented. There was at least one problem to develop during the day. The paint turned out to be lumpy and had to be taken to Fallston to be shook up be- fore the work could begin. After about six hours of work, the lounge was a bright, sunny yellow.

Key Keywannettes 85 Festive Spirit In Drama Unselfishness — that was the main message of the Christmas play presented by the Drama Club this year. The play ‘“‘The Gift of the Magi,’ was presented to the student body through the English classes on December 18, the day before Christmas vacation. O Henry, an author known for his suprise endings writes about a young couple struggling to get enough money to buy each other a Christmas present. They both finally gave up their most prized possesions to make the other happy. “T think they performed more than adequately,” said Mrs. Debbie Harris, drama teacher and club sponser. “‘They were all well suited for their parts,’’ she added. After the play, club members led the audience in some traditional Christmas carols. ‘‘The carols gave students a sec- ond meaning of Christmas,” said De- nise Martin. Tony Abernathy summed up the play by saying, “After seeing the play, peo- ple should know how to give gifts from their hearts.” 86 Drama TOP LEFT — With complete trust in her hus- band, George Anna, Robin Heavner, inhales a potion which will remove her birthmark, as her servant, played by Tony Abernathy, watches.

She helps Caroline, who asked to be placed in the children with their reading, math, a hearing impaired class, plans to spelling, and art, and also makes up some tests. Patience, one necessity for any teaching career, would seem even more important in a special class. However, Caroline stressed that she loved children so much, especially these, that it was very hard to become impatient with them. Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, Caroline along with the other teacher’s aides who taught in different schools around the county do not report to Burns. Instead, from 8:00 until 10:15 they work in their as- signed classrooms. Then on Mondays and Fridays they have classes and share experiences from the diaries they are required to keep. “It’s a very rewarding experience for me, and it makes me feel wonder- ful when a student takes his time and teaches me something new,” com- mented Caroline with a smile.

The lab, headed by agricultural direc- tor, Don Elliot plans to use the wooded area on the east side of the school as a small orchard, a vineyard, blueberry patch, and a lot for growing Christmas trees. The total cost of the project is not yet known, but it is estimated to be in the thousands of dollars. Halloween 1980 was very special was very special for the children of North- side Childrens Center. Some FBLA members dressed up in costumes, vis- ited the center, and passed out candy. Senior Johnnette Dellinger commented, “It was a great experience! I have al- ways enjoyed being around kids and this topped it all.” “The children seemed to really enjoy the visit,’ said senior Richard Carson. He added, ‘‘The staff thanked us and welcomed us back in the future.” Johnnette and Richard agreed that it was a heartwarming experience that not many people get to participate in. They will both remember it for a long time.

They made bulletin boards and posters to adver- tise. They also sponsored an essay con- test on smoking. On the day of the smokeout, the HOSA members wore T-shirts saying ‘‘Kiss Me, I Don’t Smoke.”’ With the help of Health Coor- dinator Jimmy Hines, the advertising was finished in time for the big day. The HOSA clubs of all the schools in the county conducted a survey to find out how many students smoke. The re- sults of the survey were as follows: Burns — 27% Crest — 16% Shelby — 18% § hows Kings Mtn — 13% This survey shows that Burns has the highest percentage of smokers in the county.

Bands from all over North and South Carolina came to Burns on Oc- tober 25, 1980 for the 1980 Burns Cup Marching Band Festival. A total of thirty-four bands partici- pated in the third annual band con- test. Members of the Burns Band, the Booster Club and lots of hard work from Mr. Rohleder and Ms. Taylor made this year’s contest, again a big success. Sending invitations, making rules, getting judges, preparing con- cessions and programs were just part of the preparations. Burns’ band members served as guides to the visit- ing band of their choice. It was a cool, windy day but that didn’t stop those bands from ‘‘doing their stuff’. Each class brought many winners. But the one band, regardless of class, with the highest overall score, took home the Burns Cup. The 1980 Burns Cup went to East Mecklenburg High School Band from Charlotte. The 1980 Marching band went to three contests. The first at Western : Carolina University, brought a third place trophy and best drumline. Then came Richmond, where the band re- ceived a superior rating and placed fourth. Again the Burn’s drumline came out on top. Last, but not least came Mullins.

After marching season, the band still keeps up its hard work. Concert band and the jazz ensemble get under way. The Booster Club holds the band together. Serving as chaperones for every band trip, working at fund rais- ing projects, and just being there when they were needed were just part of their duties.

Everywhere you looked there were books on top of books! Miss Wright’s hobbies are watching television, playing tennis and softball and reading. One of the library assistants, Karen Southard, commented, ‘‘I like Miss Wright and think she’s a great librar- ian.” Another student, sophomore John Lattimore, stated ‘“‘She seems to be the type of librarian that will help students if they need it.”’ RIGHT — Ms. Wright helps sophomore Terri Carpenter find a book for her upcoming English paper. 104 Administration Ce = be 4 = een aaipa as a — ees PUIN AbietW trie i ae we THN Beagee “A Viger a sis TOP — Assistant principals, Mr. Rhoney and Mr. Borders discuss school business before students arrive.

New Results fy hh ener Since the 1978-79 school year, when the Developmental Math course started, students with deficiencies in math were helped in building their skills in troubled areas. Ms. Barbara Murray, instructor of Developmental Math stated that stu- dents with large deficiencies in math had to take the Competency Test over and over. Not liking or wanting this, the teachers and supervisors decided they needed a course to help these stu- dents in basic skills. The result was De- velopmental Math. When asked how she thought it was working for the students she replied, “I enjoy seeing progress made by the stu- dents in these classes. In some other math courses, it is sometimes difficult to see concrete results from teaching. In these classes pretesting and posttesting enables me to see concrete results of students’ progress.”’ TOP LEFT: Solving word problems is the subject of a cassette Don Thrift, Johnny Hamilton, and Reggie Carson listen to patently TOP RIGHT: Todd Felker and Mary Fuller lis class.

Advanced Placement History classes studied the same period as Western Civ. The only difference was | that A.P. studied everything more in | depth and A.P. writes more. One advantage A.P. History has | over Western Civ. is that students en- rolled in A.P. History may take the Clep Test at the end of the year. If they score high enough they can get college credits toward history. The objective of Western Civ. is that students enrolled will better un- derstand the history of the world and the ideas and concepts the western world is based on.

COO OO Hirt |s Creating “Art is creating, discovering and put- ting new ideas together.” This explana- tion came from junior Agnes McClain who is an art student. Beverly Putnam’s art classes defi- nitely discover and create. They work with weaving, calligraphy (the art of beautiful writing), mixed media, rub- bings and many other different types of art. Although Mrs. Putnam’s classes have explored many areas of art, the two key areas for the year have been advertising arts and art careers. This is to disprove the notion that all artists are crazy, that all artists starve themselves in attics or that art is only pictures hanging in museums. It is to show that art can be a practical career with many pos- sibilities. TOP — Art I students learn the tedious task of warp- ing aloom.

This latest addition to the business department is capable of talking to its operator. The TRS-80 evaluates given information and acts on its own find- ings. Students do not get extra credit for working with the computer. It’s used during spare time so it assures that the students use their time constructively. Because of the lack of hardware, which is the computer, and software, the programs, there are only two TRS-80 computers. All business stu- dents must use these computers and since data processing is only a semester course, it is impossible to assign re- quired projects. Hopefully, accounting, business math, and economics classes will use the TRS-80 computers in the near fu- ture. 114 Business TOP — The business department is not all computers.

New Lourse Otfered This year a new course, Introduc- tion to Health Occupations, has been introduced at Burns. It is a semester course designed especially for soph- omores so that they may later enroll in Health Occupations I and II as ju- niors and seniors. The objectives of this class are to give students a chance to see what career opportunities are available in the health field. Also to help students recognize their consumer roles in the health industry, and to let them see if they would like to further their edu- cation in the Health Occupations I and II classes. When students take HO II they begin to start the actual work. Mrs. Jenkins, a registered nurse, takes the students to such health- related places as dentists’ and doc- tors’ offices and public and mental health clinics. There, the students watch the doctors and nurses at work - to gain insight on their jobs. Later in the year, the HO II students go to Cleveland Memorial Hospital where they are able to put to use the skills they have learned.

The sale netted the junior class a profit of ap- proximately fifteen hundred dollars. With a membership of 339 students this year’s sophomore class was the largest in Burns’ history.

The man who risked his life to teach many of us a three point turn. But what we didn’t recognize is that Bill Powell played a major role in making Burns High School what it is today. At a time when Burns was strugg|- ing with consolidation, Bill Powell helped unite the student body. With the postion of athletic director and basketball coach, Mr. Powell had to cope with the many diversities among his team members. He had to make his boys think Burns instead of Burns at Fallston, Burns at Polkville, Douglas or Washington. Former team member, Charles Webbel stated, “Coach Powell was very reasuring during the many cirises that came out of that transitional time. He was quiet Coach, Friend, Humanitarian and gentle, yet strong and masterful enough to get the best out of athletes.’” Not many people could have carried out an athletic program without a gym. But in 1968, when our gym collapsed, our atheltic depart- ment was maintained and Bill Powell was responsible. During this time Mr. Powell was also doing what we remember him most for, teaching Burns High stu- dents how to drive. On top of all his athletic contributions, Bill Powell was also a success as a teacher. Mr. Mac Lancaster commented on this, “Bill had the respect of the students. He was one of the few people who could get on the students level and make them understand him. His very style attracted them to him.”’ This style, this friendliness was also an attraction for his friends. Mickey Beam and Sam Homesley, fel- low faculty members and friends of Mr. Powell both agreed on the fact that Bill was practical joker. Mr. Beam stated, “Bill loved to get things on people.” Although Mr. Homesley had only known Coach Powell for four years, he has left a big impres- sion upon his life. ‘‘Bill was one of the first people I met at the junior high, he treated me as if I had been there forever. . . He took alot of inter- est in other people.”’ Some of Mr. Powell’s hobbies were fishing and golfing. Mr. Homesley stated, ‘‘About ten of us men would take a fishing trip to the coast and Bill would have more fun than anybody down there. Every time we went we would end up laughing the whole time.”’ Bill Powell — coach, teacher, hu- manitarian, friend — a man whose whole life was athletics. As a young man he played basketball for Wake Forest. As a teacher his main desire was to make Burns High’s athletics department something to be proud of. Thank you coach Powell for your love and support of Burns High.

Our football team sported the best record ever for BHS. They at- tained a mark of 7-3. Both the boy’s and girl’s basketball teams played in the championship round of the dis- trict tournament. Although both teams suffered heart-breaking losses, we were there cheering them on to the very end. A vast improvement in our young wrestling program was another point to be proud of with two Burns wrestlers going on to the state tournament. FCA and FBLA members always hold dear the memories of making someone less fortunate’s Christmas a little brighter. Key and Keywanette club members remember the fun and soreness that came from the dance marathon and Beta Club members 198 Closing think back to hoping an individual would not pick up his baked goods so they could munch out themselves. Teachers and students alike recall the flurry of activity in early March caused by getting ready for accredita- tion. All in all, we had plenty to be fired up about this year, AND WE WERE!
