Clubs The clubs and organizations have always been a source of fun and accomplishment. This year was to be no exception. Many community services and activities were performed by the hard working members of these clubs. Future Business Leaders of America and the band gave us great pride throughout the year. F.B.L.A. did it by winning the title of outstanding chapter and placing many of its members in the district competition. Gary Thomas also was elected district treasurer for the up- coming year. The band won the Sweepstakes Award at U.l.L. competition and had many members get a one on their solos and ensembles. The Future Teachers of America had their annual Halloween Carnival to both raise funds and offer a safe alternative to trick-or- treating. The Senior Executive Committee sponsored a concert by the popular group O'Siris. This was welcomed by multitudes of enthusiastic fans. This helped reduce the priceof prom tickets. Many field trips were planned and sponsored by clubs. The German Club traveled to San Marcos to visit New Braunfels, a German settlement. These clubs gave students the chance to be involved in many extracurricular activities. The Buffalo Marching Band was a loyal performer at all football games. Not only did they do their own shows but they also accompanied the Highsteppers during their routines. Finishing their performance, the award winning band exits the field. 48 Clubs

The Buff Backers were back again this year. Their new logo was We stir the herd. I'm very glad the club has made it this far. I only hope they continue to get better, commented Mrs. Slaughter, Buff Backer sponsor. The group had a few problems, but nothing that could not be handled by Mrs. The Buff Backers are the ideal spirit club. Without us the school would loose one third of the overall spirit - Michelle Fowler Slaughter and the officers. We had a few problems in communication with other groups. But all the problems were solved eventually, says Mrs. Slaughter. But there were good times as well. Last year the Buff Backers only supported the football teams. 50 Buff Backers But this year they were able to give support to the I-Iighsteppers, band and girls' athletics as well as both football teams. HYou see problems in any organization. I only hope that there continues to be enough interest in the group to keep it going in the years to come. A person has to really care about their school as well as the people in it to try to lead a group like this. I feel very for- tunate in having had good officers both years, said Mrs. Slaughter. This year's of- ficers were Captain Ronda Smith, senior, Co-Captains Lynne Moses, senior, and Kerry Winn, sophomore, Lieutenants Lisa Frazier, senior, Michele Fowler, junior, Arlynda Southard, sophomore, Donna Mit- chell, sophomore, and Christy Baker, sophomore. Buff Backers was never expected to get so big. No 'one ever thought that it would last, said Mrs. Slaughter. Mi: Hayes was really super through the year. If I needed anything for the club he saw that I got it as soon as possible. I-Ie even gave me a buffalo pin to show his appreciation for the hard work that had been done, commented Ronda, ...., Q .., gi i it I if if . to alia egg I., tfiiiiil '-f.ii:if L inti ,1- iw H f M frii, if .2i',,i SMT: it 'llsiiff L tsill f-622.7 if i 7 1 .t aim. -. ,sw if-wiv-:,1f..fri mg -e:f.,a,w.fi , .
