      We are not dedic ating this book to these calye s nor the pail nor
the milk. We are merely using the illistration to show the thing that
has made our school the kind that we as students are proud to have the
op~ ortunity to att end.
      A community cannot be come the proud owne r s of a school like ours
and achieve the things ou rs has a chieved until its citizens have made
the intelligent decision that thes e calves made and pull toward a
common interest and common cau se.
      We , the Student Council of t he Buffalo Hi gh School, as represen-
tatives of the student bo"dy want to expr ess the gratitude of that
student body for the opportuniti es af forded us.
      So it is to that s~irit of co-operation, of working together,
of individual s acrifice toward a common cause on the part of every
citizen of t his community that we dedicate this the 1949-50 Bison.
May that spirit eve:r· pr evail in this community for the s ake of those
to follow after us.

     Our schools must truly meet the needs of all the children of
all the people. The school must not onl y contribute t o the ment al
and physical development of our youth but it must carry its
responsibility toward the ethical, mo-ral and spiritual growth and
development.

                      SUMMARY OF THE BISON TRIBE OF 1949-50
     One word could be used to describe the type of t eams that repres ent ed
the Buffalo Schools durine the school year 1949-50. That word would be
riSuccessful 11 •
     The Softball t eams of the High SchG>ol were the first to en gage in
practice and interschool competition.
     Both the boY' s and girl's teams were undefeated in t heir regul ar
schedule and both t eams won first pl a ces in the Buffalo Invitational t our-
naments.
     As soon as th e softball games were over, and chilly weather began to move
in, our attention was turned to basketball. The Bisons were faced with t he
toughest schedule that a Bison team had played in some time. We realized
we had a big 'job to do and some 20 eager boys worked hard to bring in the
victories.
     The 11 A11 squad won the Buffalo Invitational Tournament, the Gold Division
of the Greenwood Invitational Tournament, qualified for the Tournament of
Champions and won third place, won second place in the Class 11 A11 regional,
and finished the season with a 2f won, 6 lost record.
     The "B 11 squad, composed of 12 boys, were undefeated during the season
play in competition with other ''B 11 squads. This group of b?;} S will furnish ·
                                                                7
     To summarize the won-lost record of the entire squad, the total would
be forty-eight games won ·and six lost.
     The volleyball girl's team won 8 games and lost 5 during the season .
 They captured third place in their own invitational tournament.
     The Junior High boy's team won 5 and lost 5. These boys were especially
cooperative and showed more improvement during the season than any other
squad.
Coach Matthews had twenty girls who went out for volleyball and enjoyed
numerous games throughout the season, taking third place in the Buffalo
tournament.

     Our apologies go to the Dillion Drug Company and. Claiborn
Insurance Agency who paid for•ads in last years Annual and
through an error on the part of the staff did not appear in the
book. Every precaution has been taken this year to see that
that does not happen again.
     May we express our gratitude to all who have helped make
this book possible. Expecially we thank our advertisers for
financial aid. We hope that you are repaid as the years pass.
This book will become more and more valuable to us as time goes
by. Certainly our appreciation of you and your firm will in-
crease with the value of the book.
     To the students and teachers who helped and advised us we
are thankful. Nany students will find that their pictures were
not good and were not returned to us by the photographer. Vie
are sorry for that and wish that everyone could have been in-
cluded herein. It has been a pleasure and a profitable ex-
perience to work on this Annual and ,we hope that you enjoy it
and that it means more and more to you as the years pass.
