What i the urn of 2+ 2? Mo t of u learned the an wer to thi que tion year ago, but
there are orne concept that took u a little bit longer to gra p. Growing up teache us more than
we realize. We are fed ton of fact definitions, and step to olve equation , but we al o learn
important life le on that effect everything we do in the future. The e le on can't be taught in
any cla room, and no amount of paperwork would ever make u under tand. We take in the e
imp rtant bit of information through experience , rni take , and accompli hment . Some of
the e notion are harder to under tand than others, and orne are ea ier to deal with, but regardle
of how we gained the knowledge we have, we know that it i omething we can never forget.
When we are a ked what 2+ 2 equal , we
laugh, becau e the que tion eems so imple,
but without thi information, any algebra
problem would be impo ible to olve. The
arne concept applies to life and the
under tanding we gain today. If we don't pay
attention now and learn the ba ic , we'll all be
lost in the future. This book take a look back
at the le on we've learned o far, and prove
that we have been paying attention.
Hopefully, it will al o make u think about the
le on to come and what they could mean to
our future.

Fifty year eem to ju t fly by for tho e who have lived it. There are many difference between then and
now. Can you, a tudent of the now, imagine not being allowed to wear jean to chool? Half a century
ago, thi wa the way it had to be. Guy, or girl, jean were not accepted in very many chools. Guy wore
nice pant or lack , and girl were allowed only dre e and kirt . Now to orne of u that may eem
like the ultimate nightmare. To u jean make up mo t of our wordrobe, but that wa how it wa back
then. Student today hould be glad to be a teenager in the nintie .

Another item that tudents wouldn't have een very often i letter jacket . They have became very
popular in the pa t ten or fifteen year for both boy and girl . From acedemics to port , almo t everyone
ha had a chance of earning one ometime in high chool. Al o, we eldom ee a girl with her boyfriend
letter jacket. Very often the girl have their own.

We have definetly een orne change in the past fifty year . Some have been for the better, but probably
not all. Another half century from now, we may look back at our el ve and think, what were we thinking?
That i ju t one of the few le on we will have to learn.

flipping burgers
Are you one of those students
who is lucky enough to rely on
parents for money? Well for most
of us, at some point in our high
school years, we must either learn
to stretch our money or get a job.
From flipping burgers, waiting
tables, processing chicken, to
mopping floors, students learn
new lessons as they go to work
after school and on the week-
ends. Juggling to keep their
grades up, spend time with friends
and family, and still be involved in
school functions is not easy. Most
students, however, can't
complain because at least it pays
the bills.

Q• What do you do for fun?
Story and Layout by June Kubla
Many students at Buffalo High School love to
have fun, but in order to have fun, we have to have
time, which eems to be a big problem the e days.
With students owning cars and wanting other
little extras, most of us have to get a job, and if a
student i involved in extracurricular activitie at
school that takes up a lot of extra time.
So each of us goe about making a schedule
and putting our priorities first, learning as we go
how to manage the time we do have.
We wanted to know what students do with
their extra minutes in the day. Are you one of the
many who lounge on the square or sit up at sonic?
Do you stay home and rest, or do you have after
school activities and hobbie to take care of?
The e are a few response we got to the e
questions.

They Came From Other Countries
FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENTS
Story and layout by Luke 0. Charlton

Rachel Pinheiro, Friedrich Thien, and Joan Sopp.

Can you imagine what it would be like to leave your home,

and go to school in a foreign country? Packing your bags and
moving in with someone you've merely talked to on the phone,
and knowing that you won't be coming back for a whole year,
could be terrifying. The following three students can only be-
cause Joan, Friedrich, and Rachel have done it. These stu-
dents haven't been in the U.S.A. very long. They are our for-
eign exchange students and they are attending their senior
year of High School at Buffalo.
Many people think since these students are from another
country, they are different than us. While they are from another
part of the world, they still have a lot in common with us.

10 Student Life
 Joan Sopp's hometown is a small town with about 7,000
people. The name of this town is Wachtendonk and it is in the
western part of Germany. She said the town is over 500 years old
and all the houses are made of brick.
Joan had a lot of reasons why she wanted to become a
foreign exchange student. She wanted to improve her English, and
she wanted to experience the Americain culture. She also thought it
would be cool to live in a foreign country, and to get away from her
family for a little while to become more independent. In addition , she
believed that being a foreign exchange student would help her to get
a job in the future.
Joan said, for her it was not hard to leave her friends and
family, she knew that it was going to be a lot of fun. She was looking
forward to a great year; it would be one she would never forget.
Joan really liked her host family and she enjoyed living with
them very much. Her host parents were Richard and Charlotte
Prater, her host brother was Brad Prater, and her host sisters were
Amy and Ashley Prater.

Rachel Pinheiro comes from a city much larger than Buffalo.

She comes from the capitol of Brazil, Brasilia. Brasilia has a popula-
tion of about 5.5 million people. It was a drastic adjustment to move to
such a small community.
Rachel said she wanted to become a foreign exchange stu-
dent, because it is not an opportunity that everyone has. She thought
it would be the best experience that anyone could ever have. She
wanted to learn more English and, she said that for her it would be
awesome to live with a host family and learn their customs. She also
expected to make a lot of new friends.
Rachel said that her host family was really sweet and they had
a lot of patients with her. She really loved them, and she said they
made a mark in her life that she could never forget. Rachel's host
parents were Jim and Martha Hamilton. Her host brother was Kyle
Drown, and her host sisters were Christie and Cassie Drown.

Friedrich Thien came to Buffalo from a little town in Germany,

called Beeskow. It is a very old town, one of it's oldest buildings is
over 500 years old. He said Beeskow is the kind of town where every-
body knows everybody.
Friedrich wanted to become a foreign exchange student be-
cause he wanted to open his mind to a new culture and a new way of
life. He also wanted to improve his English skills, and he knew that
going to an English speaking country for a year would help. He did not
know exactly what to think about living in the United States, but he did
expect it to be a lot different.
He said it was really hard to describe what it was like leaving
his family and the rest of Germany behind. For the first couple of
weeks he thought it was like walking around in an imaginary world, but
after awhile he realized that he was not going to see his friends or
family for a whole year and he learned to live with it.
Friedrich said that his host parents were really good and kind
people and that made his stay easier. His host parents were Jim and
Dana Hayes. Friedrich also said that even though Buffalo is a little
hillbilly town the people here are cool and that made it even more
interesting to stay in Buffalo.

 A NEW BEGINNING

THE MILLENNIUM
The presence of a new beginning is upon us. The
millennium will be arriving less than a year from now.
Several predictions have been made that the world will
end at the turn of the century.
Scientific studies have
proven that severe weather
patterns, earthquakes, and the
global temperatures have all
increased over the past sev-
eral years! Scientists are mak-
ing new discoveries almost
everyday. What can we ex-
pect to see with the concepts
of cloning and genetic
reengineering? Some of us
may be choosing our children's
looks, IQ, or even their talents.
Technology is moving at such a rapid pace that
most of us cannot keep up with it! Will we some day be
living in a Jetson-like world with robotic maids perform-
ing all the household duties?
We are the future! We must learn lessons from the
past; plus, in the future, we must be prepared to conquer
them.
"One of these days,
"I think the world when the country

millennium is a bunch communism, the

T
LESSONS LEARNED FROM PRACTICE
Everyday on the Bison
campus someone has prac-
tice for something. It may
be anything from basketball
or wrestling practice to band
or drama practice. Some
people practice to make
themselves better, some do
it because they don't have a
choice, and others do it be-
cause they enjoy it. There
are many skills that we can
learn from practice. Most of
us learn at least one new
lesson or technique from
each day of practice. All
lessons are important be-
cause each one teaches us
something new, and without
new things in life the world Coach Tackett pointing out a few minor details to

 This school year marked a
major milestone in the lives of
approximately 150 students at
Buffalo High School, that
milestone was the end of their
high school career. Many
students have been together
since our elementary years.
Throughout the years others
have been added or moved.
Nevertheless, together we have
laughed, cried, and learned.
Aside from the countless pieces
of book knowledge we have
gained, we will also take with
us many lessons that could
never be found in books.
We have learned how to
make and keep friends, and
how to value those who have
taught us what true friendship
really is. We have learned from
heartache and disappointment,
triumph and joy.
Our friends have taught us
valuable lessons to help
prepare us for the future. Now
we may have to learn the
hardest lesson of all, how to say
good-bye. We hope the bonds
we have built will be strong
enough to hold us together for
a lifetime.

What advice would you give to underclassmen,

and what are your plans for the future?
Dustin Horinek--"Listen to your parents , be true to your friends , read your Bible,
and never let go of your dreams. My plans are to attend the University of Missouri
at Columbia majoring in Engineering or Accounting ."
Erica White-Garrison--"Have fun and experience things while you can. I am
going to Drury College starting this fall. I am going into a five year program to get
my CPA & MBA."
Elizabeth Ruth--"Never lose sight of your dreams. When you forget your dreams, you lose
a piece of yourself. Never live for only today. Live also for the future. The future is yours to
shape, and if you concentrate on only the present, the future will not be in your control. I plan
to attend Washington University in St. Louis."

FOOTBALL
The Bison had a (4-6) overall record and were (2-3) in conference play. There were
many highs and lows throughout the season. The highs included an opening season
victory over Springfield Catholic, defending 2A Champs and victories over 4A schools
Republic and Williard; numerous post-season honors for many of our athletes, long,
exciting touchdown runs by John Nyberg, crushing blocks by Matt Stokes, and Matt Hale.
The lows would include losses to Bolivar, Marshfield, and Eldon along with nagging
injuries to key players throughout the year. All-in-all, the team played well and the
community can be very proud of their efforts and continuing commitment to excel.

VOLLEYBALL
The Lady Bison had an excellent season
this year with a record of 20-12-1 .
Although the team was fairly young ,
having only one senior, they pulled
together and played great. They placed
2nd at the Willard Tournament, 4th at the
Branson Tournament, 1st at the Stockton
Tournament, and 2nd at Districts. When
asked what senior Erica McCoy will
remember most about this season , she
replied, "It was excellent being the only
senior. I had a really great time playing
what little I played . I really enjoyed
playing with the team I played with. They
were great girls."

District Champs

This was definitely the year to hear the call of the mighty Bison.
With the season starting out in a dry spot, it was no surprise
when they ripped back into action with all the talent that the team
possessed. The girls roared back to win the Pleasant Hope Tour-
nament, and took second in the Buffalo tournament falling just
short of a victory in the championship game with Bolivar. The
main goal set for the 98' season was to win districts, this feat
hadn't been successfully accomplished in 10 years, and that is
exactly what they did. The girls came out sharper than ever to
win the district crown. They defeated Eldon in the first round of
play, Versailles in the second round, and Warsaw for the title.

CROSS COUNTRY
Cross country is a sport that requires perseverence and determination. This
year's team was young, consisting of four sophomores and two freshman, but
that didn't stop them from " running down a dream." This year's district meet
was helt at Clinton, MO. Here, freshman Rachel Zanzie placed twelfth and
qualified for state. The state meet was held in Jefferson City, MO., and there
were approximately 150 girls who she competed against. Zanzie stated, "The
state race was pretty nerve-racking, and the cold weather didn't help, but I'm
glad I got the chance to experience something like that. It was great."

LADY BISO OOPS

This year was a successful year for
Lady Bison Basketball . According
to Coach Howard, " It was a
successful season because we
acted like young ladies and played
like youngmen ."
The Lady Bison had a young team
this year, which contributed the
difficult start this team experienced .
However, the team came on to
really turn some heads in the
Rogersville , Buffalo, and Bolivar
tournaments. The year ended with
a final record of16-9 overall and 4-5
in the confrence. In addition to that,
we had two players named to All

Cheerleading is a sport that requires work . I think what is needed in a cheerleader is a hard worker
and someone who wants to cheer. Wendy Cornwell
Cheerleading taught me how to work better as a team . A good cheerleader is willing to work hard

Anyone who has been to a football game, basketball game, or wr stling mee has seen
our cheerleaders . From toe-touches to cartwheels the girls have tried their hardest to raise the
spirit at all the games.
The team this year was larger and much improved. With the absence of a JV squad, the
Varsity and Freshman had more people to work with. The Varsity squad was coached by Ms.
Amtower and Mr. Isackson, while the Freshmen were coached by Ms. Willard.
The cheerleaders worked hard fundraising for new uniforms. They ran a conces ion
stand during the Louisburg Picnic and washed tons of cars t Wai-Mart. Their hard work did not
end there, th y practiced for two hours several
times a week I arning new cheers and chants.
From footb II season to basketball season the girls
cheered at t least three games a week.
In the end it was all worth it. Ask any cheerleader
and they will tell you they would do it all again, and
some are. Good luck next year girls!

Varisty Cheerleaders are always ready to show their

spirit and winning smiles.

The team is a winter sport, but the team works

at SMS, where they have won various awards including
the Technical Excellence Award and the Spirit Porn.
The team holds many fund raisers through the

We were trying to learn a dance in a gym with at least six other

they went outside and pretended they lost their keys so that they

The 1999 Buffalo Bison Baseball team had a year of many memorable
moments. According to Junior Michael Kelley," he most memorable
moment of this season was taking first place in the Forsyth Tournament."
Senior Gus Marsala will tell you that the best memory he has of thi
season will always be the No Hitter that he pitched against Rog rsv"lle in
which he also had a homerun. A memorable year indeed. W had a very young
team this year, lead by four strong seniors, so we look for great things in the
future.

Junior Brad Stefka shared two of Coach Shewmaker's most common

sayings:
"When the team Balls Up, we like to emphasize the Little Things," and "You
have to nibble like a perch if you don't want to upset the Baseball Gods."

Senior Matt Stokes steps up

to the plate.

TRACK & FIELD

The track teams were high in numbers this
year with many new faces. A group of 9
seniors and a few returning upperclassmen
led the team. The Bison competed in many
different meets throughout the season. This
year's conference meet was held at Reeds
Spring. Next year's team should do well
with a promising group of underclassmen.

SPANISH CLUB AND

The Spanish Club had a busy and
exciting year. Their first trip was to
the Haunted Houses in Springfield,
which has been a tradition for
several years now. They also went
to see a group of Flamenco Danc-
ers from the National Theater of
the Performng Arts. Flamenco
Dancing is a type of dancing that is
a very important part of the His-
panic world. In the Spring, they
attended the St. Louis art museum
where they saw Spanish artifacts
and other works of art. After that,
the group went to the St. Louis Zoo
for fun. They also had a traditional
Cinco de Mayo fiesta. It was a
SPANISH CLUB great year!

The high school mixed chorus an audtiion group is on a run, of State Rating One's that
is. For five years in a row now the choir has gone to district contest and accomplished this
One raninking. Along with being a one rated group, they worked hard during the fall to raise
money for their new choir robes. This is the first time in twenty years the group has had new
robes. Ms. Powers said, "In order to get these new robes we had to come up with one third
of the cost of $10,125, then the school would pay for the rest of the cost. The choir has a very
busy schedule to keep up with, they help with the musical, sing at the Veterans Day
Assembly, have a Christmas Conert, compete in district and state contest, then perform a
spring concert all in one year. That is a lot of music two learn in such a short time, but with
such an awesome group anything is possible.

place trophies, seven 2nd place trophies, and
nine 1st place trophies. As a whole, they took
home a grand total of 47 top six places. Each

This year the annual staff has done many
things to make sure the yearbook looks great.
With eleven minds trying to work as one,
many idea were created and many were not
u ed. Compromise was the most important
a pect in the class. Through all the hard work
and dedication the student still found time to
have fun, (sometimes Mr. Glor even joined
in).
The main worry through the whole year
for these students was deadline . Trying to
work on three computers with eleven people
in the cla wa somewhat of a ta k. Through
cooperation, patience, and lessons learned
taff completed thi publication.

Through these pages we have tried to hold a certain essence of time:

a time which will never be forgotten. As the lessons we learn are ending
and beginning a new chapter in our lives.

As we look back and try to reflect upon all the memories we have shared.
We begin to think how fast the past four years have gone. Too many, it is hard
to believe that this chapter of their lives have came to a close , and it is time to open
a completely different novel. In this book we have tried to freeze a certain essence so
that when this book is opened twenty years from now, it will make us feel like kids again.
