A new dimension in academics included the addition of two new courses: Art History which traces art from its begin- nings, and Computer Sci- ence which was so popular with the students that an afternoon class was cre- ated for teachers. The addition of a debate society gave students a wider range of extracur- ricular activities. The Burns Marching Band got back into the winning tradition, taking first place in the Class ‘‘B” division of the “Trojan Classic Marching Band Festival’’ at Olympic High School. Spirits soared during the best-ever football season, which was the highlight of the year.

However, dampened spirits were not the prob- lem at the November 11 pep rally, where students rocked the gym with the help of the Army’s ‘‘TRA- DOC ROCK” band. The en- thusiasm helped the foot- ball team get ready for the Cherryville game. Girls on the football field? Not this year; the powder puff game was not played and the female grid- iron squad from the class of ‘82 was left without a chance to defend its title. , Time-out in the action Donald Peeler, Marty Blanton, came few and far between James Brock and steve Carpen: but teachers and students _ ter wait drudgingly around the got a well deserved break, radiator for the 8:27 bell. right in the midst of mid- term exams, when 77 in- ches of snow blanketed Cleveland County on Janu ary 12 and 14.

Members of the Burns High Band play the school song be- fore the start of a pep rally. “Are you sure you're telling the truth?” junior Tammy Melton seems to be asking senior Keith Larson. They, along with other students, spend most of the time socializing before that 8:27 bell. Ce ST La te kkk kk kk ok THE YEAR 0 And it started again ... another school year same as always ... only this time there were a few changes. A new faculty directory, the '81 seniors’ gift, was placed in the hall beside the office. Several stu- dent teachers made their way into classrooms during both semesters. Also, a number of faculty changes were made: Mrs. Mauney replaced Mrs. Dixon; Mrs. Falls re- placed Mrs. Cook | who replaced Mrs. Hall: and Mrs. Ogburn took Mrs. Lamb’s position. But perhaps the major event, which became common- place throughout the year, was the roof situation. Buckets in the class- rooms, wastebas- kets, cans, and tubs in the halls; when would it all end? There was even a goldfish placed ina tub one morning and ‘‘no fishing’’ signs were placed around various tubs. Electrical machines were often damaged, several classrooms had to be abandon- ned during heavy rains, and several people were hit by falling Ceil-a-tex. There was always something ... As football sea- son began, there were high hopes for the play-offs. To add to the excite- ment, students showed the most spirit ever at the pep rallies and ball- games. Cheerlead- ers went on the radio requesting everyone’s pre- sence at the up- coming game. Faithful fans fol- lowed the ‘Dogs all the way to the play- offs where they were defeated by Brevard at home. Although they did not win, they did go farther than any other team in the conference, and they also defeated Crest for the third consecutive year. Two things were absent last last fall, those being a J.V. football team and no powder puff game. Only eleven boys tried out; therefore no team, and the senior girls were quite upset over not getting to defend their title. Homecoming came, and with it the crowning of Miss Betsy Bowen as queen. Along with this came the bonfire, parade, dance, and a Vic- tory over East Rutherford. The band was busy on October 24, hosting the Burns Cup. The first class B band to go home with the cup, Clin- ton, from Clinton, Tennessee enter- tained the onlook- ers with their out- standing show. As the weather turned colder, and students became more restless, spe- cial assemblies helped to ease the tension. These in- cluded a Karate presentation by Mike Crain, spon- sored by Landmark Baptist Church and the FCA. Also dramatic presenta- tions from the Flat- rock Players, and the Drama Club’s plays ‘‘Dracula’s Boarding House,’’ and ‘‘The Magic Shop.” College Day brought its usual confusion of “Where am | going to go to school?”, and for the second time in three years, the District Beta Club meeting was held here, with David Cline pre- siding. CrEels CMas brought with it the smiles Of happi- ness, gifts of love, and the FCA Christ- mas party. First period classes de- corated teacher's doors and Mrs. Cook won a $15 gift certificate from Wright's Jewelry for first place. Snow covered the ground, cancelling one school day and two teacher work- days, and another vacation only a week after the Christmas holidays had ended. February — the month of love, brought many acti- vities for various clubs. Cindy Melton became FFA Sweetheart, the Spanish Club sold conversation heart candy, and the French Club spon- sored a ‘‘Loving Couples” Contest. The Student Coun- cil sold red, pink, and white carna- IN REVIEWK KKK KK KKK tions again, but added anew idea— Hush Day. No girls could talk to guys out of class or else give up their heart, and they reversed roles on St. Pat- rick’s Day. The per- son with the most hearts and sham- rocks at the end of the day won $5. Basketball sea- son came to a close about this time, af- ter short trips to the tournaments. Cheerleaders, to promote spirit, Sponsored a Dress- up day, which be- came “Punk Day’’ and a majority of the school went ‘““‘New Wave’’ or ‘““Punk.’’ Chains, plastic trash bags, and headbands be- came the fashion- able accessories. It was not uncom- mon to see pink, green, or blue hair either. In punk — anything goes! “Rick James and the Punkettes’’ (Miss Clark and the varsity cheerlead- ers) made an appearance at the Crest pep rally and Sang ‘Super Freak’’ to a crowd Of ex- cited students. Two weeks later, by popular demand, they presented the show for a second time during a tournament pep rally. Styles which in- cluded head bands and knickers soon brought questions to the dress code. Many faculty mem- bers thought it in- appropriate to wear headbands or Knickers, although both happened to be the latest fashions. In the stu- dent handbook, it Says dress should be appropriate and not disrupt class, so there was much controversy. After sponsoring the Great American Smoke-out and the Diabetes Skate-a- Thon, the HOSA Club added in another campaign. Jump Robe for Heart, headed by Mrs. Mabel Carpen- ter, consisted of jumping rope for three hours and all the money went to research heart dis- ease. On March 10, those willing, gave blood at the Blood- mobile. Many stu- dents volunteered to help throughout the day, and the bloodmobile was a SUCCESS. School flag? Ever see one? Well, maybe not, but the Student Council decided there should be one, and therefore held a contest for the best idea for a flag. Springtime brought sports. Practice for base- ball, softball, golf, and boys tennis be- gan in late Febru- ary, so they could be ready for their busy seasons. Spring also brought entertain- ing activities such as the NHS Talent Show and the Spring Dance spon- sored by the Stu- dent Council. Career Day came and went, no one knowing what was going on as usual. Next came reog- istration, the big hassle of standing in line to getinto a class, everyone's worry except the seniors, since they won't be back. And speaking of seniors, after the Senior Slide Show, courtesy of the Yearbook Staff, it wasn'tlong to wait. Before they knew it, they were walk- ing across the plat- form, Shaking hands with Mr. Lan- caster, receiving di- plomas, and ending a twelve year phase of their lives some- how the only thing that mattered for many was “Looks like we made it!” And it ended again ... another School year Same as always ._.. alla little and alittle more to re- member.

Be- Sides the usual weekend of “riding the strip’ and sit- ting at Burger King, came new places to go. Galaxy Games, along with several other newly opened game rooms, soon be- came popular, fur- nishing all types of video games such as Pacman and Asteroids. The addition of Cinema 3 to the chain of theaters gave an added selection to the movies. And eB ete een eet Set rete ete OAM 0.

Although gas prices did go down, class rings and the general expense of being a senior rose considerably as did everything else. But at least it was a little easier to drive to school during the week. In the entertain- ment scene, movies such as “Endless Love,’ “Raiders of the Lost Ark,’’ ‘“‘Superman ll,’’ and “On Golden Pond” made their way up the charts While the horror movies tended to decrease. A civilized na- tion? A civilized world? For civiliza- tion the year was filled with violence Assassination attempts that failed on President ROnald Reagan and Pope John Paul Il, and an attempt that succeeded on Anwar Sadat shock- ed the world. Tensions in- 10 creased as the Soviet Union levied Martial Law on Po- land and United States planes downed Libyan fighters off the Li- byan Coast. Communication between peoples broke down on three occasions: IRA Hunger Strikes that took the lives of ten people of which Bobby Sands was the first; the Air Traffic Control- lers Strike that caused the dismis- sal of the control- lers and a cutdown on air traffic: and, the Baseball Strike interrupted Amer- ica’s idea of the perfect summer. During the win- ter months there came a terrifying succession of plane tragedies. First, a Boeing 737 Air Flor- ida Jet took off from Washington International and seconds later went down into the icy waters of the Poto- mac River, killing 78 people, including some caught in the rush hour traffic on the 110th Street Bridge. Then another 737 Slid off an icy runway into Boston Harbor and an Air Japan crashed into the waters off the coast of Japan. TWO hotel tragedies plagued the nation. In Kan- Sas City, a construc- tion error at the Hyatt Regency Hotel is believed to have caused the deaths of 113 peo- ple, the highest of any hotel tragedy ever. Also, in Las Vegas, Nevada, convicted arsonist, Philip Bruce Cline, Set fire to the MGM Grande Hotel caus- ing an estimated damage of $10 mil- lion. Green bands were common fora 22 month span, asa string Of 28 black children murdered in Atlanta baffled all. Wayne Williams, a free lance photo- grapher and talent scout was con- victed of two of the murders and re- cieved 2 consecu- tive life sentences. Reaganomics — the new word for President Reagan's proposed plan, brought changes for the nation. There was an in- crease in defense spending, and in budget and tax cut attempts, he caused great con- troversy over Social Security benefits, and money for stu- dent loans. Two firsts for women — Sandra Day O'Conner be- came the first woman Supreme Court Justice: and Elizabeth Carr, the first American test- tube baby was born. Mickey finally dis- covered he wasn't alone in the world when he met Fran- cey at Disney World. Both boys, ages 7 and 9, have progeria, an aging disease of which there is no known Cause or cure. Space explora- tion advanced even further as the Space Shuttle Col- umbia made two successful voyages and was scheduled for a third. Also, photos unseen be- fore came into SCci- entist’s hands from Voyager spacecraft as it circled the planets.

Supplemental food items have been added to the regular lunch menu. Students are allowed to purchase any combina- tion of items for a nomi- nal fee, for example, a ham- burger with a pizza or even french fries and doughnuts. Instead of no choice of beverages, stu- dents can choose milk, Orange drink, or lemon- ade. The new system allowed students to have 12 more say-so as to what they would have for lunch. However, along with freedom of choice came longer lines that made it practically im- possible to eat in the allowed time. For some it was not worth the wait until students learned to decide what they wanted before entering the line. “| think the new items are good; | like choosing What | want instead of paying for things | won't eat,’ commented senior Woodrow Brackett and his feeling seems to re- flect the feelings of the student body. Graduation 1987 Walk- ing that final walk: taking the last step: opening the door to the future: looking ahead with anticipation: Graduation 1981 Another year gone by really no different from the year before. Just different people with different ex- pectations. One slight difference was money. The “cost of being a senior’ rose again. With The Final Step class rings, calling cards, and senior keys ordered late in the junior year, or early the next fall, it was hard not to start out in debt. Next came senior pic- tures, invitations, and caps and gowns, who wasn't in debt by this time? Following this were plans for the future. Application fees, medical exams, room deposits, trips to the cam- pus, and everything else re- lated to that field. In the spring there was prom tick- ets and a dress or rented tuxedo. Many had the final thrill after graduation ... the beach trip. The last time to remember things the way they were. Graduation 1981! Slightly more money, Dut really no different after all; just Graduation! Junior Marshal Melisa Buff looks to make sure she’s doing the right thing, as the seniors carry their chairs to the ball field during graduation practice. Junior Marshals Angie McMurry and Belinda Elmore take care of one of their many duties, handing out programs.

Glitter And Imagery The evening is gone, yet the memories remain forever. ‘Sharing the night together’ to the sounds of Mainstream, the junior class found themselves transported back in time to the Old South. Students found them- selves on the veranda of an old Southern plantation before winding their way down the main hall of the house to reach a garden. There they danced under 276 personalized glittering stars which they were allowed to keep aS a souvenir. Other highlights in- cluded a pool with goldfish and blue drapes behind the band. Making all these memor- ies possible were the members of the junior council and other volun- teers who helped during the approximately twenty hours of decorating and cleaning up. Junior class president, Kirby Pfeiffer, commented ‘| was very satisfied with the way things turned out. Most people seemed to be happy and had a good time.” Each junior had a star hanging from the ceiling. About half way through the prom all the juniors began looking for their star. Here Felicia Roberts, Charles Walton, and Annette Williams and her date reach for their stars. Taking a break from the dance, Marty Gee and Tim Green sit this one out in the student com- mons.

Maybe not, but they were back “in” again. Now it’s called the ‘‘preppy look’, and its bigger than ever. For the summer, styles shifted to Cheeno’s and Izod shirts of different hues to add contrast. Whimzee’s, also found in rainbow colors, brought a new touch to accessories. Wintertime brought oxford button-down Shirts, blazers, and plaid wool skirts. Ski coats and sleeveless jackets were also popular. One aspect of fashion has barely changed. Jeans. However, a break from the traditional jean was made. Designer jeans including Calvin Klein and Jordache gave usadressy look to almost any shirt. Personalization spread rapidly. Pocketbooks, sweaters, jewelry, and even jeans revealed monograms for everyone. Accessories added the “perfect touch.” Gros- grain ribbons tied into bows, and add-a-beads both added color dressed up that simple outfit. Beads including blue, brown, purple, and pearl were added along -f with charm holders. | Penny loafers, ‘‘deck shoes,’’ and Dexter offered a touch to the look. Also popular were poe the dressy cowboy boots with skirts and jeans.

The proper accessories complete these contemporary outfits. 19 Something Old, Something New Believe it nor not, people finally progres- sed from “riding the Strip’ for hours every night of the weekend to find more construc- tive forms of entertain- ment. Although it was still popular for those who could find nothing else to do. Local theatres pro- vided the ‘‘perfect”’ dating scene. Horror movies and love stories provided just the thing for getting close. Com- edies also told you if your date had a sense of humor or not. ‘“‘Munching Out” at one of the fast food places was alSO popu- lar. However, if your date was really a Big Spender, there was the steakhouse! Although packed in and deafened by the noise, many found the “in-scene” at the Char- lotte or Greensboro Coliseums. Such artists as Foghat, Rick Spring- field, Blackfoot, and Ted Nugent were popular for those who “got into” hard rock. Parties offered an alternative to the weekend scene, if you could find them. This included school dances, club parties, and parties held by stu- dents looking for some 20 Brent Bingham and Chuck Con- nors take it easy on a Friday night at Burger King.

Then on to town to eat and talk about the game ... if we won that is! Weekends ... the big- gest part of student’s lives. There was little change, but then there are only so many things to do ina weekend! Even rain does not dampen the spirits of Jocelyn Webb and Ange- la Shuford at the Kings Mountain football game.

As usual cheerleaders Sat shivering in the dunk- ing machine while cold- hearted souls kept those softballs flying. Things really got rolling when the bang-up car made its way off the trailer (with the help of a few rest- less young men), and flipped a few times. Many made their way over to the fire where they ate their hotdogs and drinks, and later yelled cheers, chants, and sang the school song. Any teacher who de- cided to try to make Friday anormal day, was soon dis- couraged from doing so. All day was spent waiting for the afternoon pep rally and parade. Seniors won the spirit stick, not for en- thusiasm, but because of money.

Victory over Crest for the Third straight year and a first ever playoff berth high- lignted the season. Taking part in the Divison Il 3-A playoffs, the Bulldogs defeated Lincolnton and then lost to Brevard in double overtime. The loss of ten seniors made this a rebuilding year for Bulldog basketball. De- pending on the play of in- experienced members, the team progressed through the season in an up-and- down fashion. In a year filled with ex- citement, Bulldog athletes Caught in midair is senior Kirby picked up speed, took off Guring the bast Gaston basket: and soared toaproductive bal game.

Burns’ Dwayne Lee shoots for 2 over a North Gaston defender, while Elijah Brown and the other Bulldogs get ready to grab the rebound. During a home ballgame against Crest a pack of Bulldogs indicate their excitement over the six points added to their score. Back to the Basics Back to the basics was the key for the Bulldogs in pursuit of their best season ever. A physical, grind’em out, ball-control style Offense and an aggresive defense led to the Bull- dogs’ success. In the opening game of the season it was Kings Mountain and a steady downpour of rain. Taking the field with high aspira- tions the Bulldogs made the first step toward their winning season, with a6-0 triumph. Coach 38 iat ee eS aes Se eee TS tis Greene commended the The came Shelby.

This was a decisive play as Burns won the contest 6-0. the Bulldogs and gave Shelby a win — peculiar style. The game was one of turnovers and costly mistakes. There were 15 total turnovers. Coach Greene said, ‘‘I don't want to take anything away from Shelby, but | feel like we gave them the game.” With a record of 1-1 in conference play, the Bulldogs took on the Hill- toppers of R.S. Central in a defensive struggle and Came out on top 7-0. With spirits high, the Dogs journeyed to Bel- mont to take on the South Point Red Raiders. In the game Burns com- pleted only seven of twenty-five passes and had six interceptions. The Bulldog defense was solid but South Point managed to gain 13 points, enough for a Raider win. ‘‘Mistakes, just too many mistkaes” was all Coach Eddie Greene had to Say. The 13-0 loss left the Bulldogs 2-2 and Crest, the defending SWC Cham- pion, was upcoming. As the Bulldogs and the Chargers took the field at the Burns stadium, it was pride at stake. As they walked off after a 6-0 Bulldog victory, neither had reason to be ashamed. The game was a Classic, courageous de- fensive struggle. There were only 13 total first downs for the game and the only score came in the second quarter on an 84 yard run from junior Darin Brown. Burns Coach Sam Homesley commented, ‘‘We played a super ballgame. It was a hard-hitting struggle. | guess we hit harder.” The Bulldogs now 3-2 were ready for the Homecoming Game against East Rutherford. The team did not let the home crowd down and romped to a 21-6 triumph over the Cava- liers. The win left the Bulldogs in a three way tie for second place with East Gaston and R.S. Cen- tral with a 4-2 conference mark. The Bulldogs narrowly escaped defeat in the next contest, a 7-6 win over a scrappy North Gas- ton team. Out for re- venge against the Chase Trojans t he Bulldogs won the grudge match going away 28-6. With their eyes on a playoff berth the Dogs had only one obstacle left, the War- riors of East Gaston. Things looked grim as East Gaston struck hard and fast to take a 12-0 halftime lead in a game that meant everything to the Bulldogs. However, what began as a night- mare, turned into a dream come true. The 19- let the defense handle Bre- vard's offense. 12 victory was one of the sweet revenge and the Bulldogs were playoff bound. Senior Marty Gee summed up the feelings of the Burns fans. ‘‘The attitude of this team has been terrific — the play- ers, coaches, and fans. Everybody!” With the first playoff berth in the history of the school, the Bulldogs were in the Division II 3-A playoffs. The Bulldogs debut was outstanding as Burns took a 14-7 over- time triumph from the home standing Lincoin- ton Wolves. The Burns defense proved to be the catalyst and Coach Greene remarked, ‘‘l don’t think Lincolnton should have scored.” Back home to take on the Brevard Blue Devils the Bulldogs had gone farther and won more games than any team in Burns’ history. Coach Jim Atkinson expressed the feelings, ‘‘It was the greatest season ever, but it ended one week too soon.” The Bulldogs lost a game that they played Taking a water break, center Scott Grigg and Rodney Hopper Senior quarterback Charles Wal- ton watches his receivers while the R.S. Central defense closes in. with heart. They never gave up and finally, at the end of the second over- time period, the season ended for the Bulldogs with a 20-14 loss. Coach Greene said, “This team was 3-2 at one point and could have laid down. They didn’t and they won six in a row and proved they were a good foot- ball team.” Ending with a 9-3 school record and a good showing in their first playoff debut is nothing to be ashamed of and the Bulldogs were proud of their showing, as com- ments from senior Scott Webber indicate. ‘‘I'm proud to have been part of the team. It was a real honor for me. It’s some- thing nobody can take away from me.” Senior Clint Shuford replied, ‘‘| felt we could have gone further but | was proud Of our showing this year.” A question of pride? Yes, and the Bulldogs had plenty. Chase met its match when it ran into Ronald Brown and the rest of the conference leading Bulldog defense. Tailback Darin Brown turns the ball upfield after breaking tackles made by the Brevard Blue Devils. Darin rushed for 186 yards in this playoff game.

Exhausted after a tough race, Webb Powell catches his breath. 43 A See-Saw Season Great expectations — heartbreaking loss. Who knows the meaning of See these words better than Coach Tommy Pruett and the varsity baseball team? With hopes of contend- ing for a playoff bid, the Bulldogs started off be- hind other conference teams because of three weeks lost practice time due to Coach Pruett’s girl's basketball coaching duties. However, the team re- fused to let this dampen their aspirations. Hard work, long practice ses- sions, and determination to win got the Bulldogs ready for the season open- er, a 3-2 win over North Gaston. Spirits soared high and everyone felt the team would be a definite con- tender. These hopes were dashed at the hands of King's Mountain who served up a disappointing 6-2 loss for the Dogs. After this loss, only a few bright spots highlighted the rest of the season. Wins over county-rival Crest, R-S Central, and Chase; a grand-slam home run by Marion Crowe and a no-hitter pitched by senior Al Floyd helped to lighten the disappointment. With the season drawing toaclose the team had one last opportunity to gain a playoff bid. A victory over East Rutherford would have placed them in a posi- tion to enter the playoffs. Once again hopes were dashed as East Rutherford triumphed with a 5-4 vic- tory that removed all hope of the Bulldogs going to the playoffs. LNGRLOSSSLOmeas. Rutherford was a dis- appointing one.

Both of these words could be used as synonyms for the varsity cheerleaders. Boosting spirit, the traditional re- sponsibility of a cheer- leader, lost none of its im- portance as the varsity girls continued planning pep rallies, making post- ers, badges, and stickers, going to the radio sta- tions each week as well as supporting the teams through victory and de- feat. However, when the squad found themselves in debt to the tune of $150, they found a new dimension in cheerlead- ing — sales. It was not often that you saw the cheerleaders without something to sell — from Lion's tails to can- dy. If they thought it ‘Defense Bulldogs, Defense!”’ Senior captain Betsy Bowen yells out her intense plea as the dogs work to hold back their oppo- nents. would sell they tried it. Helping the girls through the long season that includes football and basketball games was their new sponsor; Mrs. Dorie Cook. Mrs. Cook brought a new set of rules, more organized practices, and an overall feeling of har- mony to the squad. In- volved in the activities rather than being just a bystander, Mrs. Cook commented, “The squad is agood one and I've got- ten a lot of cooperation. We've paid all our out- standing bills and plan to purchase new uniforms for basketball season.” From salesgirl to spirit booster to the athletes with the longest season, the cheerleaders prove the athletics at Burns really “fly high”. ?

No football team?!! ’ That was the reaction of one JV cheer- leader when she found out that there weren't enough boys to form a JV team. That meant that the JV cheerleaders couldn't cheer at football games.

TOP ROW: A Softball Breakthrough Ever since Sam Homesley came to Burns to coach Softball, the record has been getting better and better. Finally, they reached their goal, a win- ning season. 6-7 was the best season ever by the Lady Bulldogs until now. Under the lead- ership of Coach Homesley, the team had an 8-7 sea- son, the first winning sea- son for softball at Burns. Coach Homesley be- lieves that not luck, but hard work, determination, and dedication by the play- ers was the key. Individual weaknesses were the basic things that | were worked on. Becuase only 11 out of 22 girls were chosen, individual weak- nesses were improved in- stead of devoting an entire practice to team errors. “| hope it will start a win- ning tradition here, ’ Coach Homesley com- mented. “it will give future teams something to shoot TOL Safe! Senior Val Baker looks back and gives a sigh of relief after dashing past the R.S. Cen- tral catcher, and bringing in another run. Burns won the game 10-4.

Junior Mary Martin follows through with a forehand adele stroke in a set against rest. Girl’s Tennis Rain and darkness were two big hinder- ances for the girl's tennis team; three matches had to be stopped. A practice match with Cherryville had to be stopped during the eighth set because of rain. The game was called and Burns was the win- ner with a 6-2 score. The Chase match was called because of dark- ness. The teams were tied at 4-1. They traveled into Forest City to finish the match on lighted courts. They tied again but the girls were so tired that they decided to quit instead of playing another tie breaker. The last match of the season, against East Rutherford was also cal- led due to darkness. The final score was 5-2, East Rutherford, the winner. The team ended the season with a record of 9-5-1. According to Coach Mabel Carpenter, the toughest match was against Crest. ‘The play- ers were so evenly matched, they battled for every point with long rallies.

Unsung Heroes Although the junior varsity boys had many obstacles in their way, in- cluding a 4:30 playing time, they had a surprisingly good season. Coach Jim Atkinson anti- cipated a lot more prob- lems than he actually faced, since at the junior high the boys had won Only one game. He also thought they would have trouble adjusting their first year here, but they did rather well in spite of ev- erything. In the beginning of the season, the team had trou- ble in passing and catch- ing, which resulted in a lot of turnovers. But as the year progressed, with a lot of hard practice, their pas- sing Skills improved, as well as shooting. Coach Atkin- son commented, ‘‘The sea- son went excellent com- pared to what | had ex- pected, but we should've done better. Coach Atkinson's most memorable games were both played against Kings Mountain. It was the team’s third win of the season, and the first time we had beaten them in three years. According to the coach, the team’s tough- est opponents were R.S. Central and East Ruther- ford. East beat them by 7 points on their home court, and at home, Burns escaped defeat by one point. R.S. beat the J.V. Bulldogs 78-59 on Burns home court, and 61-55 at R.S. Central. Even with small crowds attending their after- noon games, the boys did well. Coach Atkinson remarked, “ It was a very surprising season, put- ting it mildly.” TEAM BURNS OPP. J.V. Basketball South Point 44 63 East Gaston 75 55 Chase 66 60 East Rutherford 43 50 R.S.

For the varsity girls there was a good half and a bad half. During the first round of Southwestern confer- ence play, the Lady Bull- dogs posted a3-6 record. Coach Tommy Pruett ex- plained, ‘‘We got off toa slow start.’’ Losses to Crest, Shelby, Kings Mountain, and R.S. Cen- tral could have broken the team’s morale but hard work and greatly improved execution of basic principles brought the team together. Assis- tant coach-student teacher Lynn Hicks com- mended the squad, ‘‘The girls played better at the end of the season than when | first came to Burns. They learned a lot.” Improved shooting percentages played a large part in the 6-3 re- cord the team racked up during the second round Of conference action. “Our play was improved during the second half,” was an understatement by coach Pruett. Second half action in- cluded wins over South Point, East Gaston, Chase, GIRLS BASKETBALL: BOTTOM ROW: Rodney Pruett, Carol Borders, Kim Walker, Kim Bailes, Gail Williams, Angela Shuford, Kathy Miller, Ceci- lia Ward, Denise Lawrence. TOP A Long Road To Kings Mountain, and Crest. Coach Pruett felt the win over Crest, who held a share of first place before the game, gave them the confidence they needed, “We proved we could play with anybody.” The team’s goal of a dis- trict playoff berth was cut short when they finished eighth in the final team standings and lost to Shel- by in the first round of the conference tournament. Part of every season is the anticipation for the next. Losing only 4 seniors (2 starters) from this squad, the coaches feel that next year can only be better. Assistant coach Diane Clark related, ‘I think we had a young team that gained a lot of experience; we will be better prepared for next season.” Winning is alway impor- tant but losing can be be- neficial in teaching the les- sons of life. Sophomore Kathy Miller commented, “We came a long way dur- ing the season, and | wouldn't trade the experi- ence for anything.” “We came a long way A statement that aptly sums up the girl's varsity basketball program.

Losing seven players to graduation and having a large group Of underclassmen, boys’ varsity coach George Hall felt his team lacked the experience they needed, ‘‘l think the team had the potential to beat anybody in the conference. However, we lacked consistency A Learning Experience and that came from our inexperience.” Though finesse was not their speciality, the varsity squad certainly gave supporters excite- ment. During the first round of confernce play the team posted a 4-5 rec- ord. Although lack of con- sistency was one adver- sary to the team, junior Lee Mauney feels they lacked height, ‘‘The things that hurt us were: not enough height and inexperience.’’ Senior Charles Walton points to poor execution, ‘‘Our season could have been better except for minor mistakes in our game.” Any or all of these could be held responsible for the team’s up-and- down season. Examples of the alternating ‘‘good night-bad night’ play are: an overtime win at Crest, and a loss to Shel- by on a night when snow, not basketball, was the main attraction. The lessons that teach experience can be the toughest ones to under- stand and the team cer- tainly had its share of harsh instruction. Senior Martin Kee may have found the solution, ‘We didn't have enough experience to win the BIG games.’’ Games like R.S. Central, 67-58; Kings Mountain, 70-66; and East Ruther- ford, 68-62. In the second round of play the team improved its record to 5-4 and worked hard to be one of the five conference teams to advance to dis- trict competition. However, finishing in sixth place in the final league standings and losing to Chase in the semi-final round of the conference tournament dashed hopes of the dream becoming reality. If experience really is the ‘‘best teacher’, this Bulldog squad should be a power to reckon with in the near future, for the lessons that teach experience were an im- portant part of the boys’ varsity basketball program. Junior Daryl Hunt (44) flies through the air on a layup against the Mouties. The 'dogs came close, with a loss of 70-69.

A monthly ritual, the tests were used to determine the five stu- dents who would be eligi- ble to compete at the con- test held at the University Of North Carolina at Char- lotte.

Taught af- § ter school by Ms. Barbara Murray, the class covered the basic functions of com- | puters, their uses in socie- ty, and how they work. It began via requests of several teachers who were interested in learning more about computers. fam This year was also the be- | ginning of a computer sci- ence course for students. Basically the same as the teachers’ class, the stu- dents did some fun pro- jects such as planning a computer pep rally and programming holiday messages. The course was not totally new, however: it was a reinstatement of an old class with a few changes.

Helping students ‘‘Make history” are programs such as Presidential Classroom, Boy’s and Girl's State, and Close-Up.

Computerization Ever wonder what it would be like to use a typewriter that does most of the work for you? Well, some students en- rolled in the business courses are already ex- periencing a machine such as this. Two “IBM Electronic Typewriters, Model 60 ’ have been purchased. These ma- chines have many special features that eliminate extra manual ‘‘chores”, and double-checking work. One of the most useful benefits of these typewriters is the “‘elec- tronic phrase storage.” This memory bank can re- cord frequently used 74 addresses, phrases, etc. Also, errors can be cor- rected by pressing a “Backspace Key,’’ that backs up the Carriage, and lifts off the printed- Character errors. Other features include an auto- matic centering process that prints out a typed item centered perfectly on the paper, and “‘elec- tronic margins and tabs” which save time when going from one format to another. All of these characteris- tics of the IBM typewriter make the work a lot easier, and even more fun! 75 a a Mrs. Beverly Putnam shows @ sketches of the Renaissance period to her Art History class.

Even he paint they used was homemade, from animal fat, dirt, and ber- ries. Another project they completed was ‘‘stained- glass” windows. Although they were not real glass, had about the same affect. They were designed by cutting holes in black con- struction paper, and filling them in with multi-colored tissue paper. Students said that, even though it was time consuming, the end product made it worth while. Even though it is an art Class, art history is more Closely related to a history course. Through various films, slide shows, and reading textbooks, stu- dents learned about Ro- man, Greek, and the Middle Ages in art and artists. However, since most stu- dents don’t have muc h background in world his- tory, they are taking longer to learn the material, and art history is only a semes- ter course. Art instructor Beverly Putnam com- mented that she would like to try the course out for a year next year.

The FCA members’ tasks in- cluded raising 25¢ dona- tions for several small items they raffled off, and then the $1 donations la- ter, that gave a chance at winning a Video Disc Re- corder, valued at $1399. All totaled, they raised appro- ximately $1500. The total cost of the party was approximately $1200. Senior Chris Edwards commented, ‘This party al- ways gets me in the Christ- mas spirit when.! think of 88 how fortunate | am.” Members volunteered to pick up the children, and when they arrived, they were given snacks and drinks. Then Re- verend Russell Fitts told the Christmas story to a restless, yet quiet group. Next came familiar hymns and carols while waiting for Santa Claus to arrive with the toys. Not Only did he come, he brought four sacks of gifts, excluding what was already under the tree. Furnished for each Child was a toy, shirt and jeans, and a large stock- ing full of assorted games, candy, a McDo- nald’s calendar, and a Bi- ble Story book. Each family also received a box Of oranges. The smile of a happy Child ... the best Christ- mas present of all.

Thirteen schools attended the meeting hosted by Burns Betas, which proved to be good attendance, since only approximately twenty schools were invited. District President David Cline gave the introduc- tion for the guest speaker; Reverend Bobby Gantt of the First Baptist Church of Grover. Eight years ago Re- verend Gantt was presi- dent of the student coun- cil and an active Burns Beta. Following Reverend Gantt’s speech, election candidates were intro- duced and the voting took place. During intermission, refreshments, furnished by students, were served in the cafeteria. When planning the event, a talent contest was scheduled for entertain- ment. All schools were in- vited to participate but to the dismay of the Betas, only two schools entered. To fill up the empty spaces, Burns entered four non- competing participants, topped off with several Burns’ Betas giving an im- promtu version of “Rocky Top.” When things quieted down, the new officers were installed and the meeting was adjourned. All the hard work proved suc- cessful and now it was over ... all except for cleaning up.

However, due to the fact that every new idea they tried failed, they were still at a loss. To complement the book’s usual features, they added twenty more pages and had sixteen color pages in- stead of eight. A new gimmick — “Classified Ads ’ was introduced; students could write anything on a line fora nominal fee, and key rings were given to those who partici- pated. Yet there was no big response. Seeling books in the hall instead of during homeroom was a change, however there was a decrease in sales. During the produc- tion, snow didn't exact- ly help matters any. Setbacks This delay caused the Staff to miss their Janu- ary deadline by one day, causing a slight set back in delivery. To add to all of these mishaps, there was a $3000 increase in the budget, making it the largest budget ever. Through all the good and bad, the staff worked to get the news covered the way that it should be. Yet they were still dis- appointed over the set- backs caused by unsuc- cessful projects. In order to be sucessful there must be cooperation between editors. Here Danita Dellinger, copy editor, and Lori Ledford, editor, discuss the copy that will be used in the yearbook. Using a new indexing system, staff members Kathy Miller, Greg Gould, and Emily Johnson check copy and captions to assure the correct pages. Photo Editor Jeff Bowman and Layout Editor Kirby Pfeiffer choose the pictures that are to be used in the yearbook. YEARBOOK: BOTTOM ROW: Greg Gould, Kathy Miller, Jerri Queen, Lynn Self.

Howev- er, for those few who spent hours each day during and after school, trying to put the magazine together, it meant a great deal. Members of the Quill and Scroll Honor Society read hundreds of entries. These included poetry, plays, short stories, and articles. Then with the help of photo- graphers who took pictures Of artwork, and layout artists, they arranged every- thing so that it worked together toward one goal — continuity. Advisor Dixie Dellinger said, ‘‘The sales at the Cultu- ral Arts Festival went well, and | was pleased with the magazine.” And so were others — Kaleidoscope 1981 received several awards, including Honorable Mention from the North Carolina Historical society and Honorable Men- tion from the North Carolina Scholastic Press Association.

Shamrocks And Hearts Tired of the same old spirit week, fifties day, round-’em up day, and all the others? Well, this year the student council sponsored a new day — punk day—anditwas... different. Blue and green hair, plastic bag shirts, and black lipstick were the fashion of the day on February 5, before the Crest ballgame. Students came dressed in punk clothes to show their spirit for the team. Some of the more popular items were Chains, black satin pants, lightening bolts on the face, and ‘Blues Broth- ers'’ sunglasses. At the pep rally, a special performance by ‘‘Rick James and the Punket- tes’’ was given to the sounds of ‘‘Superfreak’”’. Another new activity sponsored by the stu- dent council was ‘‘Hush Day’’. On February 12, ev- ery girl was given a heart to wear. If she spoke to a boy outside of class, she had to give him her heart. On St. Patrick’s Day, the roles were re- versed and each boy worked to keep his Shamrock. The student with the most hearts or shamrocks received a prize of five dollars. New ideas added more enthusiasm to the same ole’ school blues. And it gave everyone some- thing different to re- member the special days for. There were all kinds at school on February 5.

Rarely, however, the members of the Spanish club had the unique opportunity of hearing a Mariachi band that was imported straight from Mexico. The club took a field trip to Pedro's in Charlotte and while they were expecting an au- thentic Spanish meal, they were pleasantly sur- prised as they received a seranade from the band that was on a six week trial tour. The trip was part of the club's celebration of National Week of the Spanish Language (Octo- ber 12-16). Other projects during this week were hidden treasures and puzzles that could win tickets to ballgames if worked correctly.

Most of the competitors didn't think about that though, as they and their friends contributed ‘‘votes”’ to their particular categories. Votes were a penny each, so the couple with the most money at the end of the voting was declared the winner. The nine cate- gories included: ‘Cutest’, ‘“Best-Looking’’, ‘‘Wit- tiest’’, ‘‘Most Outgoing”, ‘‘Most-Compatible’’, ‘‘Oddest’’, ‘‘Most- Intelligent’, ‘‘Most Talka- tive’, and ‘‘Most Likely to Succeed”. With all the par- ticipants having such heal- thy competitive spirits, Loving Couples Contest was a success, making approximately $115.00. The National French Honor Society also contri- buted funds for the French Scholarship. The members Of the NFHS raised $300.00 with a doughnut sale. Other fund-raising efforts included three car- washes, prices ranging from $3.00 to $5.00 de- pending upon interior and exterior cleaning. Boys were not the only Ones to show their strength in weightlifting. Girls too participated in a weightlifting contest, and did pretty well.

Carpentry VICA has built everything from base- ball dugouts at Burns Junior High to cabinets for New Bethel Baptist Church. Aiding other clubs at Burns, they built a casket for the Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) club for the Great American Smokeout. Other projects included working on a paint booth for the auto body repair students, and servicing the air conditioners around the school. They planned renovating the consession stand on the visitors’ side of the football stadium.

President Barry McKee commented, ‘I feel that a larger membership would allow the club to do more for the school and com- munity.” Already active in school making morning an- noucements, parking cars at football games and helping with assemblies the club felt increased mem- bership would allow them to add to their activities. Both the Key club and its sister club, the Key- wanettes, had difficul- ty getting projects off the ground, especially when Keywanette sponsor, Julia Lamb had to take a medical leave of absence. Hoping that next year will bring larger mem- berships and more success the Key and Keywanettes clubs will strive to increase altitude. 111 CHORUS: BOTTOM ROW: Bridgette Byrd, Gloria Camp, Judy Downs, Carrie Dabbs, Thomas Brooks, Harold Brown, Lisa Roberts — secretary.

With Love Making doll clothes, and dressing dolls may not seem like your idea of a good time, but mem- bers of the Future Home- makers of America club enjoyed these small tasks, especially since they were done with love. They hand-made pint-sized clothes from scraps donated by the Salvation Army, and then returned the dolls in time for Christmas. Another Christmas- time activity was the club’s cookbook sale. The prices for these books ae ranged from $3.50 to $6.50, and inall they made several hundred dollars — money which went toward the annual FHA banquet held in the Spring. During a regular club meeting, Jovi Hutchins had a unique experience as she received a complete facial from Peggy Shytle. Ms. Shytle, who works in the cosmetics department of Belk’s attended the club meeting, and along with Jovi's makeup, she gave tips on cosmetics and how to use them properly. 117 Conve- niences In the future, thanks tu the Agriculture classes, there will be an array of fruit trees, Christmas trees, grape vines, and ber- ry patches all at our dispos- al. In addition, there will be a man-made pond, used mainly for irrigation, and a picnic area. And all of this will be close by — on the eastern side of the school. Sound vague? Well, this is part of a long term pro- ject to be completed in 1988. Subsequently, the Agriculture production students will be responsi- ble for harvesting the crops and doing general maintainance. Reasons for the project include federal and state agriculture departments recommending that stu- dents be given “hands on” experience in agriculture production. Also, it will be used as a money-maker for the department. And most of all, it is expected to beautify the school grounds and surrounding area. 118 FFA: BOTTOM ROW: Don C.

Competitive Action The Distributive Educa- tion Clubs of America (DECA) program is an advanced study course in marketing, merchandis- ing, and management which is the only national youth organization oper- ating in the nation’s schools. At Burns, the club is competitive in local and district tournaments. Nine hundred categories make the contests hard. Even so, Mr. Ellis (club sponsor) said that in the past his students have 1 Seniors Steve Wellmon and Rob- bie Wess try on clothes in their Fashion Class. 120 ranked high. Competition is not all that DECA gives its mem- bers. It is one of the few clubs at Burns that gives students on-the-job ex- perience. Working hand in hand with Industrial Career Training (ICT), it allows students to actually go out in the field, gain experience, and get classroom credit. This program prepares students for life in the world outside high school.

For a senior class of 242, this year was the final land- ing at Burns. They showed that they intended to reach the stars with activi- ties such as the peanut sale that raised approximately $2000 for the prom. In- volvement kept them too busy to realize that this was the LAST year. The juniors, 309 strong, found themselves at a stop-over. Some where in between take-off and the final landing, they did not experience a burn out but kept busy preparing for their senior year. For 296 sophomores it was a turbulent year. Tak- ing ridicule from the upper classmen as well as making the adjustment from junior to senior high made this the toughest year of all. However, the class re- sponded well and got in- volved in everyday activi- ties. They proved that they could handle the ‘‘pres- sure” by placing second in the homecoming float contest, and by winning the “spirit stick” at the pep rally before the game with rival Shelby High. ‘‘Tourists’'’ — going through the moves, seeing the sights, and developing new horizons, — students gained a fresh perspective from the word ‘‘accom- plisnment”’. 124 Tourists ——__————————————————— Positive and negative drawings — what's that? Junior Amy Bar- rett demonstrates this as she does work on hers during Art Il. Joy Hawes, Student Council treasurer, has the sole respon- sibility of operating the school store each morning before homeroom. Joy tries to make change for a student who purchased a pencil so that she could be prepared for her classes. Choosing a college is one of the hardest aspects of being a senior. Kim Bridges discovers this as she looks at a yearbook from Wingate College. Sandra Peeler, Jeff Willard, and Linda Payne enjoy their meal during lunch break. The price of lunch this year went up from 75 cents to 90 cents. SHIRLENE ELANE ADDISON Volleyball 11,12 (captain); National French Honor Society 12; Student Council 10; Softball 12; HOSA 12.

REET RE Ee A Red Rose For Courage 2 There are some people whose absence dimi- nishes all of us per- manently because they are unique, they will not come our way again. Charles Lykins was one such person. As a member of the Cleveland County Rose Society, he won many awards for his love of roses. He won ribbons in the Newbury, South Carolina, Charlotte, and Shelby rose shows. For having his own rose bed, he received a Junior Award. Members of the Rose Society wrote a tri- bute to Charles — enti- tled ‘‘The Arrow Flies”. It has been reprinted by permission of the Rose Society. The Arrow Flies “For the depths, of what use is language?” Ecstasy and agony, love and hatred, life and death — each has its own lan- guage. Thus, words of farewell to our fellow rosarian Charles Lykins vanish, leaving only the roses to speak. And elo- quently do they speak, especially those in the casket spray and compan- ion bouquet— concevied by a loving family and made possible by loving friends. About Charles, they say, “In his brief seventeen years, he experienced the ecstasy of living through his studies, music, minia- ture roses, friends, church, and family and the agony of illness and death. Yet, through it all, he was an exemplary young man — full of vital- ity, dedication, and courage.” To Noel and Juanita, comfortingly they whis- per, “You loved and nur- tured your son in health and in sickness. Now he has returned to the Archer who used you only as the bow through which the arrow passed. The Archer loves the arrow that flies, but He also loves the stable bow. You were stable, and you guided him well. Now you rest, remember, and reflect, but never in regret.” To all of us the roses reassure, “Though it fell in its path on November 5, 1981, the arrow con- tinues to fly.” A safe journey, Charles! The idea of the archer, arrow, and bow was bor- rowed from Kahlil Gibran. In honor of Charles, Mrs. Maude Query Kelsey has set up the ‘‘Charles M. Lykins Memorial Award.” It will be a prize for the best Miniature Rose in the Annual Rose Show of the Cleveland County Rose Society. “Not wishing to be self- ish in this,’’ Mrs. Kelsey states, ‘Il plan to open it to anyone who wishes to have a part in the award from year to year. The ini- tial award will be in 1982.” Mrs. Kelsey thought very highly of Charles as a lit- tle boy and as a quiet, thoughtful teenager. She went on to Say, ‘‘TO me, within the very center and depth of his perso- nality, there was a quality Of great strength and calmness, which we all need, but do not all pos- sess.” Charles was a member of the Burns High Mar- ching Band. ‘‘He enjoyed the band very, very much,’’ commented Charles’ father Noel. Charles played the cym- bals in the band. Miss Dawn Taylor, band in- structor for both Burns Junior and Senior High Schools, commented that he really loved the band and as amember of the drum line, really felta part of it. A fellow drum line member, junior Meredith Phifer said, ‘‘He loved to joke alot. He had a good sense of humor. Charles loved music as well as the band.” “He was his own per- son,” Miss Taylor stated. ‘He was a Solitary figure; unique, brave, a deep thinker, and a quietly compassionate person. He had a soothing calm- ness about him and he was really good Nna- tured.’ Meredith added, “You never saw him get mad.” He held fast to his religion and was a mem- ber of the choir before his illness. Charles collected many things. He collected stamps, shells, old or antique bottles,and rocks. He enjoyed taking pictures and walking through the woods; and loved to go to the moun- tains and the lake. He liked to go outside at night and look at the stars and listen to the “night sounds”. He was interested in antique Cars, science fiction, and especially liked jokes and riddles. Miss Taylor said she can never remember Charles complaining about any- thing during his illness. ‘‘I hope that when I'm 75 years old, | will have one- fourth the courage he had. Through his death, he showed me it’s not the length of life, it’s the quality.” 215 wae a.

Our flight through the year is hardly over but the memories we've gathered will never leave us. The people, activities, the year itself all had the extra ‘‘something”’ that makes for those special times. We extended the happi- ness that filles us to those who didn't know the feeling; the FCA Cnhil- dren’s Christmas party is only one example. Able to take in stride ev- erything thrown our way, students turned the leaky roof into a bit of humor with signs put up over the larger puddles of water in the halls. ‘I’m glad that someone could find the humourous side to this mess,’’ laughed senior Bobby Edwards. Carrying out what soon may be tradition, the football squad again won the homecoming game. It was a win that increased the ‘‘magic’’ that sur- Guided By Radar ee — rounded that night.
