Have you ever watched an awards presentation where the recipient of an award is asked to give a small speech? The speech goes like his, I would like to thank the following people for making this possible . . . ’. I always wondered if that old line was real or just tak- ng up time. In the past 9 months I received my answer. When I thank the following people for their contributions to this book, I hope hat every reader of this book will also thank those same people when they see them on the street corner, at the grocery store, or the lext ball game. Without their heip, there would not have been an 84-85 annual. The entire stall that gave free time to this are to be thanked. ! would, however, like to give a hand to i ,ori Losing and Bertha Kirsch- en. These two young ladies stayed with this project through the first two weeks ot June. I believe that kind of dedication will take hem far in their futures. Their ideas and work are commendable. I would also like to thank everyone that gave pictures to the annual tafl. Mr. Dilworth took time to take group photos. Mrs. Wang was at so many events and happenings that I wonder how she made it. he drove from one end of Montana to the other. She was very kind and giving and deserves a huge amount of recognition. Baker ihould be proud of these people. 1 am fortunate to have had a chance to come in contact with these quality people. Thank you, Tony Tresch a IN3S£86TSHOIN3SS86mOIN3SS86IStfOIN3SS86TSHOII$3Sg86TSHOIN5SS86TSHOIN3SS86TS3OIN3SS86IS0OIN3SS86T V 4 M3 00 Ln to C J M O ?o co H M3 00 Ln CO M3 00 Ln CO to o PO CO I- VO 00 Ln CO z M o to vO 00 Ln CO CO 55 KH o 50 CO h-1 M3 00 Ln CO 71 z M o 73 CO h-1 ■ 00 Ln CO m z o 73 co i— M3 00 Ln CO ft a M o C VO 00 Ln CO W Z M O 73 CO VO 00 Ln CO W z M o 73 CO H� MO 00 Ln CO W z M o 50 CO Chad Ray Afrank The harder work, the more successful I am.

Don't get them mixed up Mr. Stanton. Ri ht: It's not nice to point David. Below: And here we sit and sit and sit! When we were kids we looked forward to this day. It seemed so tar away, almost like it would never come. To us it was but in the realm of dreams, but now that dream is tullfilled. That dream is now reality. As kids we were bound together by a common goal. That goal has been reached. We now must strive for our own individual dreams, but where wilt they lead us? Here, come with me, let s take a ride into the luture on my magical carpet! As the mist and haze clear, we see that Baker is no longer a quiet little town, but a thriving met re j. hs, complete with the suburbs of Marmarth, Plevna, and Willard. As we take in all of the sights, we are quite amazed at the size, not only o: Baker, but of the sprawling suburb of Marmarth. But, enough of this! We are here on a mission! To seek out and discover everyone of the great class of ’85 and see what their future holds. Outside of Baker we see a cloud of dust. As we get nearer, we see that it is none other than the happily married LAVONNE WO- LENETZ, and as you can guess, she is still driving tractor for her dad! As we near town we see some commotion over on Baker Lake. Here we see TERESA HEISER, now producer of Day of Our Lives and LOUELLA HAGA, currently the writer of Days’ arguing over who gets thrown over to drown in a hot new scene in Days . Over on the shore we see TYE STUART, fishing and there he goes reaching for the cooler! He's the first multi-millionaire of our class to retire! Next we go and take a couple of mains. We see that CURT WILLIAMS'S partner BRETT HICKEY who is also his ace mechanic! As we take a closer look, we see that Curt is in the middle of negotiating the complete take over of the entire Cenex Corporation. Now we stop at the famed 4-Seasons, run by BRENDA BECHTOLD! Here we learned that she has just opened another branch of the 4-Seasons in Plevna. There on the table is the paper. The front page headlines read, Tim O Conner Karl Mueller Scandal! Tim O Conner was arrested and held without bail! It is suspected that he was Karl Mueller s accomplice! KARL MUELLER owns a chain of funeral homes and over the past two years he has been loosing money due mainly to the finding of a cure for cancer by regis- tered nurse TAMMY GAMRATH! So he hired Tim in hopes of bringing business back up. O'Conners’ attorney says that Tim will plead insanity! If this case is heard, he will be sent to Baker's very own funny farm where he will be evaluated by head nurse, MOLLY BAREFOOT! There is a rumor, but mind you, it is just a rumor! It is thought, though there is no evidence, that this whole scandal wasn t initiated by Karl Mueller. It is quite possible that he is on HEIDI PERRY’S pay-roll, and in case you didn’t know, she happens to be the infa- mous Crycptonite Tycoon of Marmarth, N. Dak. and possibly connected with the Mafia. She rules Marmarth with an iron fist! Known for a fact to be on her payroll is SUSAN DUNEMAN, her right hand man, or woman if you like, and Vance O Done 11, the far left! As we continue to page through the paper, we see that VIC KI U I TKE will be opening The Boston Pops Orchestra the following week. We also see that JON NEWMANN has been promoted to full Four Star General! Just below that article we learn that MARLON SKIDMORE and KEVIN NIELSEN are missing in action! They were on a top secret mission and have failed to report! All attempt to locate them have come up negative. In the Sports Section we see that DAVE DELCAMP and KEVIN WIKE will be in a sudden death play-off in the Masters Golf Tournament! A special note to be made here: KELLY WIKE has given up golf to become a drummer for the Barnum, Bailey, and Ringling Brother’s Circus. A little further down we see that JOHN HADLEY has just been picked to be the first round draft choice into the N.F.L. and also, we see that KEITH HELFRICH is being commissioned by the N.B.A. as a coach. The team he is coaching is yet unknown. Now that we are rested up, we can continue our vigil. As we leave across the street, we see that Brenda’s main competition, JANET ZEIMER, with her down home cooking, 'ummm smells good! Our next stop is good ole' BHS. Here we find SCOTT BILGES, present Spartan basketball coach, planning his exclusive Summer Basketball Camp for midgets. 5TEPH HEUTHER, Baker s new P.E. teacher and track coach, is trying to teach proper weight training techniques to future track itars of BHS. Downstairs in the wrestling room we see JIM HUNTLEY demonstrating the proper art of Happy Valleys to Baker’s wrestling :eam, what talent! The complex is undergoing extensive remodeling under the supervision of THADD O'DONELL, owner of a chain of health spas «cross Montana. During the summer. Thadd runs a very elite wrestling camp for specially talented and rich athletes. As we leave the school and head up-town, our fight is disturbed by a Boeing 707 preparing to land at Bethal Terminal, now owned JANELL LOSING, who also, in her spare time, gives flight instructions to beginners. When the 707 lands we see the airline itewardess. Miss MARIE PROKOP welcoming the passengers to the fine city of Baker, Montana. Finally we make it uptown where we stop at Dilworthes Unlimited to try on some of Tanya’s latest fashions. Across the street VIARK DUNN is trying to obtain a loan from MIKE DEXTER S bank! He wants to buy out the Goodyear Tire Company. Continuing through the heart of Baker, we stop at the Lakeview Shopping Mall and find that in addition to her computer stores SUSAN DAHLMAN now owns this mall. ■ As we wander through, we pause to watch JILL JENSEN on T.V. as she hosts. Solid Gold. On our way out we once again see the land of the Class of '85. Outside a book-store, we see SCOTT CARVER busily autographing a number of his newest Science Fiction lovels for fans. Inside we find a copy of People Magazine, with their exclusive interview with SUSAN ZACHMAN, editor of Fashion ind Beauty, the hottest magazine around. As we are leaving we bump into CHAD AFRANK. He is presently recovering from an injury he received while racing in his 4th :onsecutive Kentucky Derby! Speaking of racing we found that RONNIE GORDER and KEN MADSEN now work for Budweiser as their race car drivers. They will both be racing in this years Indianapolis 500. Before we leave Baker we have one last stop to make, DEAN WANG'S Dude Ranch. After winning the National Steer Wrestling hampionship for the 8th time, it became quite evident that he truly was the champion so he went into semi-retirement and opened up i Dude Ranch. As we circle slowly above we see Dean's foreman, LEROY TRONSTAD patiently trying to explain to a city slicker hat if he does go riding, the indians will not whoop down and attack him! Although that was our last stop in Baker, that is not the last of our awesome class. The rest are scattered at various places around the vorld. From Baker we head due East, in Boston, we find ROBERT BURNS working on a new formula for General Mills, who is ooking for some new break-through that will help increase the sales of Cheerios. From Boston we head South. In Washington D.C. ve find SHARON BREITBACH in hot debate, lobbying for ERA, Not far from there we see SHAWN SKOGSBERG lobbying for lid for the farmers. From D C. we must go even further south. We finally stop in Miami, Florida, where we find ANDY KREAGER masking in the sun next to the private pool of his ocean front resort. From Miami we head for Paris. On the banks of the Seine we see the world renouned artist, KENNY BRAUN, working on his next nasterpiece. It is here that we also run into DEBBIE SCHUELER who has opened a private school designed specifically for those who vish to become a secretary. And we're off, once again, this time we land in California, where we learn that ROY WANDLE has inherited a fortune from a long ost relative. What he plans to do with the money is as of yet unknown. W'hile we were in California, we had a chance meeting with JULIE CARLSON. She is a world class detective who moon-lights as a lental hygenist when business is slow. It is rumored that she has been hired by Mr. Schillinger to find RENEE McLAUGHLIN who's vhere-abouts is presently unknown. It seems that Renee is wanted back in the office of good ole’ BHS. As we bring our trip in the future to a close we have one last stop to make, this is to the lab of JAMYNE MAYO, a mad scientist vho is working on a dent-proof, metal alloy for her faithful, though battered little white car Gurdy . At last our trip is over and I think it's plain to see that the Class of ’85 will not soon be forgotten! ■ 27 SENIOR WILLS I Chad A frank, will my ability to take my brothers to school to Todd Anderson, and also my wrestling spot to anyone who can make weight. j 1.

The team finished with a 9-1 record. Their only loss was at the hands ot Roundup-the eventual state champions. We were led by 9 seniors who provided quality leadership and inspiration. The following players from that class made the first team of the All Conference Team: Jon Neuman at q.b,, Robert Burns at center. Dean Wang at offensive guard, defensive end, and kicker, John Hadley at offensive and defensive tackle, Andy Kreager at 1st team offensive end and 2nd team defensive end, and Tye Stuart at defensive back. Mark Dunn. Mike Dexter, and Jim Huntley were plagued by a variety of illnesses and injuries during the season, but they plaved exceptionally well when they had their physical health. Juniors who received 1st or 2nd team All Conference were: Dan Stanron as 1st team offensive back and 2nd team defensive back, Dave Schweigert at 1st team linebacker, Quenton Hickey at 2nd team offensive back. Doug Bechroldas a 2nd team return specialist, and Mitch Domagala as a 2nd team linebacker- While we are going to miss this fine group of seniors-they w-ere not only good players but good leaders as well as good people. The 1985 Spartans should again battle for the conference tide and a playoff berth as there should be some fine young players ready to play varsity football. Baker J.V, Football ended the years forfeit shortened season with a 3 1 record. The team showed the potential to play good football at times.

People seem to lose their sanity, and nothing is unusual. Government sponsored programs have not helped the local citizens to be rid of the problem. It is not drug or alcohol related. It has nothing to do with Halloween. A number of prominent citizens have been asked their opinions on the matter. A Mr. Don Schillinger was quoted as muttering the word, football.” What is this strange game that can have such a death hold on helpless victims?

Eight boys and one girl made up this year's Spartan harriers. With only two returning runners from last year's team, improving on the seventeenth place finish from the year before seemed an uphill run. Beginning with the grueling Glendive course, the Spartan runners set their sights on the State Meet in Butte. At Baker, Janell Losing finished second in her first ever cross country race. The following week at Circle, Shawn Handran, Jerry Williams, and Bill Price ted a l- 2 3 sweep in the Town and Country Day Run. The Colstrip meet provided good Class B competition and resulted in individual bests from most team members. Thadd O'Donnell led the Spartan boys with a 6th place finish and Janell was 4th for the girls. The team finished the season at Wolf Point and Labre before heading to Butte for State. In Butte, the weather was cold with about an inch of icy snow that hampered all runners. Thadd and Shawn once again led the Spartans finishing 48th and 53rd. The boys team moved up a notch from last year to finish in 16th place. Janell ran to a 44th place finish in the girl’s race. Another big race day ahead for the Varsity guys.

As the team competes against A-B-C schools with at least twelve teams at each tournament (nineteen at divisional and 67 teams at State).

On behalf of the band, I’d just like to take a tew minutes to honor Mr. Wood for everything he has done. It seems that too often we forget all of the work he has does tor us. At times we complain because we’ve been practicing an entire hour, and he’s been there for four or five. Well, we do thank you very much for supporting us, guiding us, caring about us, and not letting our problems slip by us unnoticed. You looked out for us when we wanted to make trouble when we were finally away trom our parents. You have been a wonderful teacher. Mr. Wood has taught us to do more than play, count, and read music. In some way he has brought out something good in each and everyone of us. He has taught us to strive for excellence, and just when we think we've almost reached it, he reminds us that we are not even close, and he keeps encouraging. The Seniors of 1985 would also like to say THANK YOU to a very respected friend. Mr. Wood, we especially appreciate your concern for each of us. Together we have all looked to our future. We have linked our strength and knowledge together, and we’ve almost reached a dream. On behalf of the band, once again, thank you-not just for this year or last, but for continuing to work so hard and care so much for 20 superior years.

The Middle School and Longtellow have a chance to get involved. This year s concert was no exception. Mary Maynard and Mrs. Wang took time from their pianos to try their luck with Mr. Furnish on the kazoo. You can’t find good help these days. After Mr. Vezina was hit in the face with a pie for belching, he was called, along with Mr. Furnish, Mr. Schillinger, and Mr. Vanderpan, to clean up the mess. Look out Benny; job security is a thing of the past. These guys did a bang up job. 121 A WOMAN running for what.''! Royalty is born.

Our generation has been called a pain to the world. Divorce is an ever looming reality. Security seems to be a thing of the past. Families break up daily and thieves stock our streets at night. Unemployment rears its ugly head in every news- paper we pick up. There are chemical spills, nuclear weapons build ups, and terrorism on every page of every paper that is printed, in- flation is a parasite that eats up this once strong dollar that our parents knew. Megaton, blast zone, ground zero, and acceptable losses are words that our grandparents never heard of. (What is an acceptable loss ratio?) Education is in trouble in America. Of course we know that because we hear it every night on the news. We hear that young people just don't have it anymore. The good oi days . . . .........where did they go? America the beautiful, the strong, the optimistic. Is there hope? We don't believe the people of this area have ever lacked optimism. Let us look at what we AI L TOGETi 1ER accomplished this year. We were conference champions in foot- ball. We tied for 1st place in the district in girls basketball. We had a cross country team that never quit. The wrestlers and boys basket- ball players were conference champions. Volleyball, a new sport, was a championship team. Our cheerleaders brought home honors. 1 rack is a gutsy sport that saw our young people giving a great deal. We have a band in this town that is very hard to compare to any- thing in this area. Our vocal music department is something to relish and enjoy. These young people from our music department are entertainers, O.K., you ask about academics.-' We had not one, but four, Valedictorians this year! Baker High School participated in the Acedemic Olympics this year, which were held in Miles City. We had two teams competing. Out of 24 teams. Baker placed fifth and seventh. Middle School students participated in college level classes at night on their own time. Our High School is home to sev- eral teachers that teach college courses. Our young people are exposed to these teachers every day in the classroom. We, here in Baker, are not immune from the problems of the world. We would like to believe, however, that we are part of the solution and not part of the problem. A congratulations is in order for those who helped to make these good things a reality. We took the road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. May we stand together. God bless America, T.T. 131 132 KJ.

After an opening loss in a heartbreaking five overtime game to the Miles City Custer Cowboys, and several injuries in a couple key positions, the Trojans slipped to a 2-4 season. Even the team fell well short of its goal, the spirit and willingness to work hard never stopped. With this attitude, the Spar- tans will be tough for many more years to come. 141 Front row: Marc Hickey, Renae Heth, Jamie Rost, Stephanie Anderson, Hna Croy, Back row: Angie Townsend, Nicole Brown, Barb Schueler, Barbie Spriggs, Jesica Stieg, Lori Madler, Katrina Rusley. 142 Front row: Renee Askins, Tanya Gamrath, Angel Robinson, Sharae Putnam, Jodi Sampson, Shawna Cornelius Back row: Paula Hawkinson, Patty Bremer, Jona Hecker, Jodi Newell, Krista Kruger, Thomasens Stieg The 84 season was an enjoyable one for myself and the players We came a very long way, I trust the girls to practice and continue to carry the tradition of being r winners into next year’s basketball season and- rnore impdrtantly-everyday life.

Mrs. LaCross and Mr, Stanton presented the graduates with their diplomas Entertainment was provided by the Middle School Choir Shawna Cornelius accompa- nied by Mrs. Wang also entertained the audience.

The top students in each catagory are able to go to the State Fair, they must be in the eighth grade to go. The State Fair is held in Missoula each year and the students from Baker competed with students from all parts of Montana.
