life ...
is like a pile of stones waiting to be found
by each one of us. it is not to be neglected.
the stones wait for each individual to make
something beautiful out of them. they wait
to be molded into great shapes that will nev-
er crumble or fall. it is up to each of us
alone to build a tower of life from that pile
of stones. it will not always be an easy job,
though. at times the stones will be heavy
and hard to grasp; but, as we build, they
will get lighter and more beautiful as each
one .is placed. our goals in life should be
set at building that tower by taking our
dreams and turning them into reality. when
at last we finish that tower, we will know we
have built something great and everlasting ...
a life. that is when we will truly find the
real meaning of life ...
a DIVINE, never--ending LOVE.

1973 was a year to look up and wonder ... we

wanted to make a name for ourselves and we
did ... on an old desk ... we looked down and we
made a name that would last ... until day after the sweet innocence of a little child ... noth-
tomorrow, maybe ... we didn't know there ing quite so precious ... ours to mold and
was a higher vision to be caught ... that some- to make ... we wondered ... make into a
day we might dream dreams if we caught reservoir for trash? ... into a passion to
the vision now ... our minds were dulled ... keep trying and a will to do right ... and a
almost as if ready to be discarded ... and then way to know God ... herein was our future
our living rooms became a dumping ground ... joy and hope ... herein we should plant the
ecology was popular and ecologists were truth ... herein would we be made free ...
beginning to call it mind pollution ... where
were we going ? ... we stopped and wondered ... and still we wondered ...

17
 a man without dreams is petty indeed and has but small
will for living, loving, and enjoying life to the hilt. dreams
drive nearly all of us to try to be one thing or another,
each of us striving to attain greatness in whatever field
we toil. Yet, even in the best of earthly things, there is
always some flaw or detraction that mars the quality of it.
Let us realize that each human is filled with the capacity
for goodness, character, and wisdom; but each must be
developed or fall short of its full potential. Left to seed by
themselves, these qualities may start to bud only to be
nipped in flower by the cold frostiness of society. Untrained
and undeveloped, they decay and lapse into a limbo of
uselessness; and the mind, left with no bounds or limits on
its action, turns from a flower of intelligence to a weed.
We must foster the growth of principles and dignity which
we humans seem to have lost since we have become 11free 11
to do as we please and since we have time to 11enjoy life. 11

the buffalo bisons, under the coaching

of warren kennedy, came off a dismal winless
season in 1971 to compile a 3-6 record against
some of the toughest competition in the
state. the bisons finished in the thick of the
conference title race with a 3-3 mark in
what coach kennedy termed a "rebuilding"
year. the bisons had 5 starting seniors,
including jack brownfield who gained 900
yards rushing and 500 yards in pass recep-
tions. quarterback joe shewmaker passed
for 1000 yards. buffalo looks forward to a
fine season next year with a large number
of returning players.

the basketball bisons provided many an anxious

moment during their regular season play and were
dubbed the cardiac kids after the first few games
they won by one or two points in the last few fer-
vent seconds. they seemed to get hot then turn
cold just as fast. even during the same game
the bisons looked like a completely opposite
ball team. usually they completely dominated the
game for a while, then nothing. several games
during the season stood out more than others.
the republic game here at buffalo is an example:
seconds left on the clock. bisons ahead by l,
republic ' s ball; 3 seconds left, republic shoots a
desperation l/2 court shot; buzzer sounds, republic
wins by l as a 47 foot shot goes through the hoop .
homecoming was a night to remember . the bisons
fought a tremendously fast-paced game that would
tend to make one forget it was just a high school game.
ozark was our unfortunate opponent. up until the
last 4 or 5 seconds it was anyone's game; then on
a fluke technical foul with the score tied 55 to 55,
the bisons shot l free throw making it 56 to 55
and victory. buffalo finished the season with an
overall record of 13 wins, 10 losses and a coc
record of 8 wins and 4 losses that put it in second
place .

 the yeaR -- 1973

lOOkinG Back
the elder was a quiet sort of person; he didn't talk much. we called him the elder, because he was
older than anyone else, or just for lack of anything else to call him. but tonight, he seemed to be
full of talk, (perhaps it \vas the incense) and it was mostly about the old days. days when things
were strange and different. in particular the year 1973, his last year in what they called high
school ...

"that was the year of the terrible ice storm," he said with a glimmer beginning to show in his eye.
all the adults became dismayed at the glimmer, for they knew what came next.
"there was ice everywhere," he continued , "and the electricity was out for as much as a week
in some places. "
"of course, that' s no longer possible since they changed the water. " i heard someone near me say.

84
 but the elder simply didn't hear.
"we switched principals in 1973,"
he said with a grin coming across
his face, "mr. dull for mr. kirk-
sey, sort of like changing horses
in midstream." little sister opened
her mouth and said, "what's a ... 11
before she was escorted out of the
room. (i still wonder if she would
have said principal or horse?)

the elder continued ignoring the unheard of out-

burst. "and of course the vocatio!llll technical
school in louisburg was opened in 1972. 11 even the
children were a little disturbed at this statement.
he was evidently further along than we had
?/f TRA SISTOR RADIO thought. "yes, we had a lot of fun at our new vo-
DE 0 STRATOR 6RT4·8 tech school 11 the people were now beginning to
drift toward a feeling of restlessness. i thought
it was odd for he had never before continued on one
of his rages for this long. however, the children
had become fascinated and the elder seemed to
thrive on their enthusiasm.

5
 "that was the same year that we got our
new football stadium. they called it an
athletic field, " he cackled. at this point,
several more of the children had to be re-
moved. the elder was obviously bringing
out corrupt ideas in the minds of the young.
but still he continued. "do you know the
best part about 1973?" his voice reached a
new high, and in it i heard a note i had
never heard before and it made me feel
strange. "that was the year i graduated!"
and with that, he began to scream in
hysterical laughter. he looked very strange-
ly pale as they carried him out, and i felt
a sadness pass as i watched the last per-
son from 1973 pass from our midsts.

tonight football comes of age here in buffalo. it's been a struggle. i imagine that when football first carne
to our area about a decade ago, it was a pretty mysterious thing to a lot of folks. and while the young men
of dallas county were trying to learn the fine points of football, they lost a lot of games. it wasn't until
1968 that buffalo football finally managed to produce a winning record. we had a fine year in 1969, losing
only one game; and though we 've slipped a bit since then, i think everybody knows that we're on our way
back. and this time we 're corning back to stay.

86
here on this field tonight, and on so many like it all across america, the young men of our country will be
playing a game that will teach them many valuable lessons about life. like life, football contains the ele-
ments of pain and joy, of frustration and satisfaction, and of failure and success. football players learn
that there is a price that must be paid for success. these boys began paying that price back in mid-august,
in the hot, dry, dusty days of summer--days that may be a little hard for most of us to remember as the
cold wind blows across the field tonight. but they remember. they remember the sweat stinging in their
eyes, the cotton-mouthed thirst, the gasping for breath, the giving of just a little more when it seemed as
though there was just no more to give. this, and so much more, you learn when you play football. and i
suggest to you that this experience as a boy, makes for a better man later in life.

let's just stop for a moment and consider why we have this fine new field. it's because our school admin-
istrators, our school board members, and mostly because you -- the people who support this school dis-
trict -- have had enough foresight to see the value of such a facility. it's the same reason we have the
field house, our own radio station and printing shop, our excellent modern elementary school and the ex-
citing new vo-tech school in louisburg. it's because, for a little town in the ozarks, buffalo is something
kind of special.

for a long time buffalo has been basketball country, and it will continue to be. but we're growing up. foot-
ball has served its apprenticeship and is r0w ready to stand as an equal partner with basketball. i know
dallas county sports fans will root for our football teams in the fall and our basketball teams in the winter.
so let's make it buffalo basketball and buffalo football, equal partners from now on; because with the dedi-
cation of this field, we are indeed saying to the world that buffalo football has come of age.

and so tonight, for all the bisons -- older bisons with their remembered dreams of glory -- bisons of to-
day who will proudly wear the black, white and red on this field tonight -- the young bisons who wait im-
patiently for their brief moment in the spotlight -- transplanted bisons like myself who bring the special
enthusiasm of the convert -- yes, and even the generations of bisons yet unborn, who will run and play
and grow on this field some day --for all bisons, we dedicate this field tonight and proudly name it: the
bison athletic field.

mary dickey, freshman

like a flower,
truth is beautiful
and to have truth in your mind
is magnificent!
mary ann jennings, freshman

it's the most beautiful thing

and the only thing ....
that will hold us together ....
forever and ever ....
cindy kay, eighth grade

if everyone used it,

the world would be a better place to live.
karan tripp, eighth grade

truth is deep within us.

without truth, one is not a whole person,
but half a person without a mind.
without truth, one has no real state of mind.
dana vandelieht, freshman

truth should exist in the home, in the school,

and mostly in the church.
truth should be taught by parents and teachers
setting an example for children.
truth is trust, and In God We Trust!
walter sims, freshman

truth exists in a person's mind.

truth is something a person can learn or.
through life.
a young person without truth is like an
old person without his cane.
he stumbles and he falls,
he's afraid in the same way as a young
person without truth.
gary owens, freshman

truth is golden in that it is valuable,

and very hard to find;
hard to find in that most people wouldn't
know it if they saw it.
jack henderson II, freshman

132
 tOW€R 0~ tRUth

truth exists in the vast corridors

and crevices of the mind.
somewhere in this Godless and
desolate land
what we all want to find is the
MAN,
and if you can,
you've found the truth!

 William Lyon Phelps said, "A well ordered life is like climbing a tower; the view halfway
up is better than the view from the base, and it steadily becomes finer as the horizon
expands."

Probably good questions to keep constantly in our mind and honestly answer to ourselves
are, "Am I on the tower, am I climbing, and just how clear a vision do I want?"

Certainly I hope your school is making a meaningful contribution to your progress up the
tower.

Very sincerely,

freedom is calling
to be free is to live
a spirit within is calling.
why don't you answer?
why don't you try to be free

-cheryl gargus

and if your'e searching for a life style

not stagnated by success--look up.
see what the birds are up to ...

what is freedom?
freedom is choice.
choice to be what you want to be.
choice to believe what you want to.
choice to worship where and how you feel like.
freedom is choice.
-russell vogels

This isn't a poem about strong nations,

Or strong holds on fortifications.
It's a little compact, a little small,
But it's sure better than nothing at all.
And that's our town.
Some people laugh as they walk on by,
But they see very little pollution in the SkY.
Every night the square is jammed, a traffic mass,
Every day people doing business speak and pass,
But that's what squares are for.
It's a little compact, a little small.
But it's sure home to us all.
I hope it stays forever and always,
A place for living and peaceful ways.
And that's Buffalo, our town.
