Button and image layout help.

Question

It is me again. I need some more help. I want to put the four buttons at the south border, and I want to put the image at the North Center. Now I want them obviously to be on the same panel. I would also like to add them all at once like in my code. Is there an override mechanism so that I can just put the image at the NORTH CENTER and keep the four buttons at the south border?
        QuizPanel = new JPanel();
        QuizPanel.add(label);  // I want this at the north center
        QuizPanel.add(button1);
        QuizPanel.add(button2);
        QuizPanel.add(button3);
        QuizPanel.add(button4);
        add(QuizPanel,BorderLayout.SOUTH);

I ignored some of the constraints of what you 'wanted' to do. Mostly because they were silly.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.net.URL;
public class mario {
     * @param args the command line arguments
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO code application logic here
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
            public void run()
                QuizFrame frame = new QuizFrame();
                frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
                frame.setVisible(true);
class QuizFrame extends JFrame
    public QuizFrame()
        JLabel label    =  null;
        try {
                URL url = new URL("http://forums.sun.com/im/bronze-star.gif");
                ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(url);
                label    =  new JLabel(icon,JLabel.CENTER);
        } catch(Exception continueWithoutIcon) {
                label    =  new JLabel();
        JButton button1 = new JButton("one");
        JButton button2 = new JButton("two");
        JButton button3 = new JButton("three");
        JButton button4 = new JButton("four");
        QuizPanel = new JPanel();
        add(label, BorderLayout.NORTH);
        QuizPanel.add(button1);
        QuizPanel.add(button2);
        QuizPanel.add(button3);
        QuizPanel.add(button4);
        add(QuizPanel,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
        QuizLabel = new JLabel("This is a test",JLabel.CENTER);
        add(QuizLabel,BorderLayout.CENTER);
        pack();
