The year ends but that special something that fired us up never leaves us. 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!
