We would again like to thank you, Mr. Bender, for all you have done for us. We as Seniors are proud to dedicate this annual to you. 2 SPOTLIGHT ON THE SENIORS Clockwise; Starting at Top Left Look ma, 4 ears' Am I on candid camera? Duh, what did you say? Tastes good!

Right: Linda Duffield is caught looking at the camera during the services. Reverend Keane spoke on the importance of listening. He said, We have stopped listening before someone starts talk- ing. This happens between husband and wife, parent- child, teacher-student. If we listen to people, we show dig- nity and respect. We give them freedom to express their ideas. And we make it easier for people to listen to us. He concluded his remarks by saying that we should all listen to Jesus Christ for the message He has brought to the world. - 20 Vance Johnson, Senior Class President, responds for Seniors after his father, Mr. Llewell Johnson, Jr., had given the wel- come .

Class oj 1977 Commencement Exercises Mr. Cliff Harmala, Superintendent of Glendive Schools, called on the graduating seniors to think on some prac- tical considerations in his Commencement Address en- titled What Should I Expect. Some of them were: Be temperate in your habits, be careful in your choice of companions, choose vocation wisely, as parents spend time with children, be responsi- ble for your own actions--profit by other's mistakes. He also added that the government is interferring more and more in our lives; we are not as free as we once were; we are more confined after we receivedthe diploma. His final admonition was: go to church, read the Scriptures, pray. What man has done, you, too, can do. Motto: “Of a Good Beginning,.

The 1976 football season was a rebuilding one for the Spartans. With only four or five starters back, and the Spartans competing in the toughest league in the State, it was a long season. However, the outlook for the future is bright. With fifteen starters and seventeen letterman returning, we are going to be tough. The Spartans did have their bright spots this season winning their first game in two years and then recording their first shutout ever in Class A when they beat the W'olf Point Wolves 6-0. The Spartan defense proved to be one of the toughest in the conference. Led by all-conference selections, Royal Duneman and Bill Zupanik (both returning next year), the Spartans were able to hold their opponents. The Spartan defense should be the toughest in the league next year. On offense the Spartans return 8 starters including two freshman at wingback. Injuries hurt the Spartans during the entire season. We had to rely on young inexperienced kids which hurt us. But the experience they gained this year will prove valuable for next season.

It also provides music at the pep assem- blies. The pep band devotes many hours preparing music to present during the games and at half- time. The pep band tries to put some spirit into those playing in the game and those watching. Along with playing at home games, the pep band also plays at some away games; supports the Spartan team at tournaments; and assists the drill team in their performance. 65 Drill Team Provides Halftime Entertainment Left - Right; Bethany Boutwell, Susie Schell, Brenda Culver, Kelly Uhke, Kaye Overton, Patti Randash, Ann Mueller, Brenda Knipp, Denice Graham, Cheryl Heiser, da Gunderson, Pam Novak, Merri Flor, Teresa Barone, Valerie Zupanik, Shawna Ehret. The Sparteens led a very active schedule this year, they performed at many home football and basket- ball games. They finished their seasons performance with a pre- sentation during the Divisional Basketball Tournaments. The Sparteens did not enter State competition this year, but that is one of their many goals for the next season. Looking back over the year it proved to be very worthwhile to belong to the drill team. You not only learn physical poise but you also learn self-control by working with others and by performing be- fore a large audience. These ex- periences are bound to benefit the girls who participate.

The next tourney was Miles City Invitational. Baker did not place any boys at this tourney al- though Jeff Haase and Bill Zupanik wrestled well and had a good tournament. Our next tourney was divisionals at Sidney. Bill Zupanik was the only boy to place at the tourna- ment and became eligible for State, although Jeff Haase, Royal Duneman and Bob Mahon showed well for the Baker Spartans. At state Bill lost his first match then won two in a row and was taken out late in the wrestle backs. This was a rebuilding year for the Spartans and we hope to improve on our record for next year.

Co-sponsorship of the Snoball was the highlight of the events during the winter months for the student Council. Other activities in which the council was involved was raffling of a digital clock radio; Muscular Dystrophy Drive-(Senior Faculty Basketball game was played to help this drive); and attended the State Convention.

Mr. Lawson looking down on My leggs are your leggs, they hug you, they hold you. someone. Are those cheerleaders?? Come on Don, wake up. 108 Message let everyone who leaves Baker High School feel assured positively on one count. Honest labor no matter how menial or sophisticated the products of that labor is the basis and foundation of America or any modem civili- zation. Never apologize for the type of occupation that you choose so long as the occupation is honest, productive and you have given it your very best mentally and physically. As the old saying goes: if we impugn the honest work of the plumber and at the same time foolishly accept all lofty philosophies of the learned we are guilty of un- thinking snobbery and neither our plumbing nor our philosophy will hold water.

Season Summary of Middle School Sports The Baker Middle School 'ootball team completed a perfect 5-0 season. Baker 18 Circle 0 Baker 22 Glendive 6 Baker 14 Bowm an 0 Baker 22 Miles City 12 Baker 46 Beach 0 Seventh and 8th Grade Girls Basketball squads gained much needed experience throughout the season that will help them next year. The coaches made it a point to play every girl at least a quarter of every game. This was a great morale booster as it gave all girls an opportunity to learn. WRESTLING: The team participated in 4 tournaments --finishing 3rd in Bowman; 1st at Baker; 2nd at Dickinson; and 2nd at Forsyth. During tournament competition, 8 different wrestlers won a total of 22 tournament championships. Baker defeated 16 dif- ferent teams in tournaments. In a dual meet with Bowman, Baker won 5 matches and lost 9. Against Miles City, Baker won 15 and lost 2. The total team match record was 124 wins and 65 losses. The Baker Trojan 8th Grade squad went through the last season marred by illness and 4 cancellations to finish the season at 5-4, Although the Trojans suffered offensive problems, defensively they permitted no team to score more than 41 points in any game. The team was blessed with some tall boys and some natural athletes. With another year of growth and practice, they will make fine prospects for a winning Freshman squad in 1977- 78. The 7th Grade basketball squad started the season slowly, but finished it in somewhat of a flurry. Losing their first 4 games, the Trojans won 3 of the last 5 to finish the season with a respectable record. Proof of their improvement was evident in the last game as they defeated Ekalaka by 9 after losing to them by 5 in their second game of the season. The Baker Middle School Boys track team saw limited action this season due to the field being worked on. In two of the meets tire squad participated in, both squads came in 4th at Miles City and the combined team placed second at a meet in Plevna. We had 4 track meets this year. In Miles City the 8th grade placed 4th out of 6 teams, the 7th placed 6th. In Plevna, the 7th and 8th were combined and placed 2nd out of 5 teams. The Bowman track meet had 12 towns and we placed 4th for the 8th grade and 6th for the 7th grade. In Dickinson 2 girls placed and our mile relay placed. 123 Middle School Girls Track Has Big Turnout Front Row--Kimberly Lund, Tamera Barkley, Paula Engesser, Shannon Ueker, Denise Losing, 2nd Row- Linda Christianson, DeAnna Eyre, Sandy Engesser, Shannon Granat, Carol O'Connor, Patricia Becker, Starla Householder, Joyce Ferrel, Ronda Pfeifle, Laurie Breitbach, Back Row-Brenda Heiser, Barbara Mahon, Cheri Heron, Marci Celander, JaNae Anderson, Rhonda Amell, Cheri Jacobsen, Gay Brocket.
