Dress Right
Every year during
homecoming, the Cow-
boys and Cowgirls
celebrate by dressing in
funny costumes and
weird make-up. Well,
this year, as usual,
most of the Cowgirls
dressed up but our Cow-
boys can't seem to get
into the spirit of things.

First Defeat
Bryson Cowboys
suffered their first
defeat in the hands of
the Paradise Panthers.
At the end of the fourth
quarter, the score was
22-14.
Although the Cow-
boys put up a mighty
fight, they just couldn't
score the points they
needed to win.
Drill Team Update
This isn't a "honky
tonk" dance, it's just the
All Cowgirl Drill Team
kicking up their heels to
the Cotton-Eyed Joe.
That's what happend
Friday night during the
halftime performance
at the homecoming
game.
They traveled to
Paradise, and did a
rountine to It's a Love
Thing. Susan Reyna
and Shannon Smith
were elected outstand-
ing members. Susan is
a cheerleader at BHS.
Shannon is the co-
captain of the drill
team.
Congratulations on a
well done job.
Sympathy
Bryson Cowboys
send their sympathy to
Jacksboro Tigers for
the senseless burning
of their bonfire a day
early. Everyone is
curious to know who
the culprits were.
The dirty deed seems
to have taken place
Wednesday night and
there was no evidence
as to who lit the fire.
Officers
The FHA had their
installation Tuesday,
October 18 at K-Bobs. It
began at 6:30 with
dinner, followed by the
installation. Advisor

Pep Rally
The BHS pep rally
started off with a bang
last week with the
cheerleaders really
high on spirit. The drill
team performed a skit
which the audience just
loved.
The senior football
players spoke last
week. They encourage
everyone to come out
and support the Cow-
boys.
The pep rally was
ended with the school
song. The turn out at
the game was tremend-
dous. Several people
traveled to Paradise to
watch the Cowboys. Al-
though the Cowboys
came out on the short
end, they did perform
well and we were very
proud of them.
Homecoming Week
Homecoming week
began with "fifties
day". The girls wore the
long poodle skirts with
their hair in pony tails.
The guys slicked their
hair back with the
Fonzie look.
The second day was
"character day". The
cheerleaders were the
Smurfs, with the head
cheerleader being Papa
Smurf.
The others were
Brainy, Grumpy, Van-
ity, Smurfette and
Sleepy Smurf.
Two of the teachers
were Raggady Ann and
Andy. Everyone had
lots of fun that day.
Our third was "Punk

Rock Day", with the
Punkere really coming
out of the closets. The
end our homecoming
week, we had "Blue and
Gold Day". Homecom-
ing week was a real
success as we hoped
the game will be.
Bonfire
The yearly bonfire
was held back a little
because of ail the dry
weather we had been
having. Although we
did have a few delays,
our bonfire got started
at about 7:30. The
cheerleaders led a few
yells and the captains
spoke about our chal-
lenge to beat Perrin. the
bonfire ended with the
school song.
Alcohol &
Your Body
"Is alcohol an 'upper'
or a 'downer'?" Many
people think of alcohol
as a stimulant, but
actually alcohol is a
depressant. It’s a drug
that depresses the
central nervous sys-
tem, like an anesthetic.
It slows down the activ-
ity of the brain and
apinal cord.
As the depressant
action reduces tension
and inhibitions, the
drinker often becomes
more active, talkative
and outgoing. But this
"high" activity is really
a result of the alcohol
reducing the brain’s
control over behavior.
Alcohol is not an
"upper", but a "down-
er".
If enough alcohol is
consumed , unconsci-
ousness, or even death,
will result. Among
young people, "chug-a
lug" contests some-
times lead to death.
"What happens when
you get drunk?" As the
amount of alcohol in
the bloodstream* ' in-
creases, changes occur
in the body.
Vision become im-
paired, depth percep-
tion becomes distorted,
the pupils react more
slowly to changes in
light, speech becomes
thick, coordination
deteriorates, ability to
solve problems is
reduced, emotion and
mood become unpre-
dictable, ability to
recall past events and
knowledge diminshes
and the mind's ability
to integrate informa-
tion (put it all together)
deteriorates so that
judgment becomes
poor.
No matter how you
look at it. drunkenness
is a state of physical
and mental incompe-
tence. When you look
over its physical and
mental effects, you can
see how a complex
activity such as driving
a car becomes extreme-
ly dangerous in this
drugged state.
But perhaps the most
frightening aspect of it
is that people who are
drunk often feel
perfectly competent.
They often think they
are driving better than
ever!
"What's the fastest
way to sober up?"
Sorry, but there is not
shortcut. Not black
coffee, not cold show-
rs, nothing. Once the
alcohol is in the blood-
stream, only time can
sober up the drinker.
The alcohol has to be
metabolized primarily
by the liver.
It takes about one
hour for each drink.
Black coffee might
make the drinker more
nervous and wakeful,
but he'll be just as
drunk.
