eople . . . that's what Buffalo Country is made of. Without people, it couldn't survive. But survive it did. Even though Stu- dent numbers were down, the spirit behind them was up. And low num- bers had good effects on the students so that the student-to-teacher ratio was low. This gave the students all the needed instruction scholastically, and lightened the burden and work- load of the teachers. It shortened lunch lines, made library books more available, and the halls and parking lots less crowded. And there werent so many nameless faces that hadn't been met or even seen before. So, it had its advantages for both the stu- dents and the faculty. Seniors je-anna Hamilton and Yvonne Ott appear quite contented in the classroom. The teachers, on the whole, made the classroom atmosphere enloya- ble, as well as a learning experience. Sophomores Karen Roeder and Regina Kinniard make the Burleson pep rally a spirited one. 1 Q.: ra. , Q wg. ' t N , .4 , X 'L -. ...i ' Q 1 , . gt c ,J-.. . fi? ' : 4 mmm ive r .'

Seniors show new spirit Most seniors never have the opportunity to serve as officer on any function. Too many an of- ficer is merely the big shot who gets to run around school, getting VIP treatment. Still others believe that officers are the Hrah-rahsf' ln other words, they attend all football games, pep rallies. school productions, and band and choir concerts. Senior class president Ronnie Rhine doesnt seem to feel that wav. This year turned out to be good because we had more monei than the senior class has ever had before. He went on to say, The whole year was real good because the school spirit seemed to turn around and have a fresh new spirit. Officers were Ronnie, vice-president Kathi Gunnels, secretary Susan lforrester and treasurer Barbara Alexander. The senior officers were in charge of many proiects. The hrst proiect was a tipe of rummage sale. That is, they sold all the old things that were stored in Mrs. Dorothy Miles llighstepper SIOISIOOITI. Among the articles petldled were frosted Haltom glasses, spirit towels, and llaltom Buff hats. Though it was all second-hand material. the class made a great deal of money, According to Mrsjo Peninington, about 50 peo- ple helped to sell the items, The next fund raiser was Christmas ornaments, Mrs. Pennington stated that the man who was responsible for suggesting the ornaments made a big mistake. The ornaments were supposed to hare been peppermint candies. llowever, the pro- ject was an enormous financial success raising over 51500, This gave the class of '81 almost S1800 to work with for the prom. The officers played an intricate part in both sales. organizing homeroom pick-ups. checking in the items and money, and distributing the goods. lfinallv, the officers were partly responsible for organiying the senior program. Ronnie was responsible for props and Kathi was in charge of the programs, liarbara coordinated several meetings before school to get other seniors to get other seniors to write the material for the show.
