SPARTAN BAKER HIGH SCHOOL-1985-86 It may seem strange, but every moment ol our lives we are creating memories: memories we will cherish, laugh about, try to forget, :ry over—but always remember. I First come the students-our riends. Some are straight-A achievers working toward college, some concentrate on sports, music or i .peech drama. There are those who are already working, concentrating on careers or working for that new car. And there are the I combination students involved in two or more areas. Next are the faculty and administration. Some are older, more experienced, others are young and new to education. Included in this jroup are the secretaries, custodians, cooks, and bus drivers. A vast pool of diverse, talented people supporting the school, but they all lave one thing in common-a desire to help the students grow and succeed. i Then come the parents-as different and unique as the students themsel ves. Ourparents-those people who drag out of bed at 8:15 ev- -ry morning to force us to school. Those people who give up their nights and weekends to go to games, concerts, and plays. Those j people who worry when we re too quiet, too loud, too busy, to lazy, too different, too much the same. Those people who want a better : lappier life for their children.

The fall of 1085, heralding the return of school. Holding forth its promise of a year tilled with learn- ing. with the future. The bright col- ors of fall slowly gave way to the harsh starkness of a Montana win- ter. Our days were often disrupted by the howling winds sweeping through our lives. But these very same winds brought us spring, with the miracle of new life. And then summer. Davs of fierce t lunder- J storms, giving us the promise of the rainbow, of life. REMEMBER ...

TIMOTHY CARL LINDEMANN And come ye slow or come ye fast, it is but death who comes at last! SANDRA NADINE MADLER Mature provides exceptions to every rule YOUR FUTURE So many times we would give anything to know what the future holds in store for us. Will we pass that English test to- morrow? Will he ask me to the Prom? Will she marry me? Will that big-time college accept me? Will I get the job I want? Will I be happy and successful? Will I live a long life? While none ol us can claim to tell the future, we CAN offer these predictions for the class of 1986: As we look over Baker 30 years after Graduation Night 1986, we see smoke rolling from the huge smoke stacks of the Adolf Coots plant. There, James Herst and Gary Croy, Executive Managers, are hard at work. The plant is a very busy place these days, a:uer its move from Golden, Colorado to Baker, Montana. Kim Groshans is the babysitter at the plant where she takes care of the employee’s kids as well as all the Cabbage Patch Kids now owned by Sheila Graham. As we pass through the hallways of our plant we pass the two VERY lovely secretaries, Michelle Napton and Lori Haga. The corridors are filled with people who are eagerly waiting to be taken on a tour of the plant. And the tour today is being conducted by none other than Dale Singer, President of the plant. Rounding the corner, we find our busy accountants Cyndi Peterson and Sandy Madler counting the many profits that have been made in the last few months. We now leave the plant to go to Baker's new football stadium where the Silver Bullets are playing the Bud eights. The owner of the Sil- ver Bullets is Dan Stanton, of course. The team is pepped up by two wonderful cheerleaders, Joette Nielsen and Sharon O'Connor who greet us as we enter the stadium. The national anthem will be sung by Amanda Sikorski and half-time en- tertainment will be provided by Tim Tweet, Stand-up Comedian of the Year. Coor's biggest distributors, despite stiff competition from Buckhorn beer owners Roy Madsen and Kevin Skogas, are Mitch Domagala and Norman Twiford Mitch now owns Super-Valu and Norman has just completed his take-over of Reynolds. Although their rivalry may sometimes get out of hand, law and order is always maintained by Sheriff Troy Bur- dick. We are now getting ready to travel uptown to visit the other Baker businesses. On Main Street we see Carrie Hurley's Car Lot of Orange Vegas, Brand-New and Just Arrived. While we're in the area, we 11 just stop in and get our gas rank filled at Wayne Zacher s Gas Station. Right across the street from Wayne is Dave Kruger's J.C. Penny store, which he TOLD—FR EE!! manages. He works there with Pam Feisthamel. the customer service lady. We even have our own travel agency in Baker, owned and operated by Sandi Kruger. She books all the arrangements for the travelers who fly on Dave Schweiger’s Air- line Service. Down in the Lake Shopping Center we find Klint Mower in his newly-opened Western Clothing Is Fun Shop. He has employed Susie Twiford as his seamstress. She sews all the outfits for Pat Knipp, who rides in the PR A. He raises his famous horses on Phillip Rusley and Brett Meccage's ranch. In Baker, it you choose to grab a cab, just call Quenton Hickey at his Motorbike T'axi Service. Helmets are provided or you can pick one up at Doug Bechtold s Sports Center. His shop is right next to Shawn Handran s Computer Dating Ser- vite. As we round the corner and head south of 5th Avenue, we see LaNita Miller having a sidewalk sale at her Fashion Shoppe tor Short People. We also see Brian Noftsker at the New Baker Body Shop welding Clint Burghduffs new race car together. Clint will be driving in the Indy 500. While we make our way up to the high school, our tour guides who now join us are Mark Bilges and Todd Rustad. These two spokesmen fill us in on some of our outstanding pro sports players. Vicki Arnell and Carol Meredith are in Libya practicing their volleyball techniques for the Olympic games. Sean Smith is playing for the Rams in the Super Bowl this year. Thev currently have a 28-0 record. They will be competing against the Dallas Cowboys, whose star quarterback is none other than Jeff Nichols. Scott Wood, the director fo the world-famous McDonald s Band, along with the majorette Kim Quenzer. is practing for this year’s Macy’s Parade. Arriving at the new Baker High School, we find Ruth Huckins teaching Math and Computers.John Greenlee is also teaching here as the Shop Coordinator. We have just been informed that Brian Gunderson and Bev Wheeler are artending Baker's Junior College, which is located on Tank Hill. We also discover that Wade Verke’s Refrigerator Business is having a Going-Out-Of-Business Sale and Keala Kinsey is in charge of the auction. At the Baker Lake we see the regular fishing people. Tim Lindemann and Tricia Strangford. You will also find Robyn Schwindt and Darc Reum, The Two 1’hat Keep Our Town Clean . picking up alter the teenagers who had been at the lake last night. Welt, that takes care of the entire graduating class of 1986. See you in another 30 years! 23 ROY MADSEN It's over1 BRET ARTHUR MECCAGE A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money.

All his life he's worked with the outcasts of society, sacrificing a brilliant career-for what? To help drunken bums? To the graduating class ot 1986, success is not necessarily awar ieu to the person who has the most money, the most fame, the most power. Success does not mean being one ot the crowd'1 or ‘not making waves '. No, to this class success is measured by the individual. They will lead their lives according to THEIR desires, THEIR wishes, THEIR feelings. They will be able to say es’ 1S VV life, and only mine. No one else can take credit for rm success, and I can blame no one but myself for anv mistakes. Yes, I will make mistakes, but it is trinu these mistakes mat I will build rny hte, as unique as it might be. At the end of my life I can stand proud and say My race is done, but it WAS my race!

Sonya Martens hates being in Baker, Clint Croy doesn't like people with bad attitudes. Theresa Logar loathes talking to two people at once. Kevin Losing hates people who think they are the best . Tana Wiseman hates BROWN NOSERS—don't we all? Lora Williams despises guys who chew. Kim Zink gets really ticked off when Shawna Potter slaps her hand. IP [ In spite of alt their pet peeves, the juniors had to admit that life isn't all that bad. After all, they only have one year left. What is the BEST thing about being a junior? Going to Europe and getting to see my brother, is definitely the highlight of Karl Kruger’s year. Greg Robinson says, Almost being a senior, is the best thing. The best thing about being a junior is preparing for Prom and 1st year as a Varsity cheerleader. says Lori Losing. One more year to Kalispell, ’ says Sonya Martens with a smile on her face. Clint Croy says that going to Jay's house on the weekend is the best thing about being a junior. Theresa Logar thinks that the classes getting easier is the best thing. But the one thing everyone agreed on is the best thing about being a junior is being in the class of 87- the class with class! Best friends’ 44 Our hero1 High rollers! Peace, Brother Beaver!

They finished the year with an 8-2 record. Their two losses were to Fairview in conference play and to Cutbank in the semi-finals. Ten seniors wiii be sorely missed next year as they provided ability and true leadership; qualities which enabled the Spartans to have a very successful season. The following players were selected for the All-Conference Team and All-State Teams: Dave Schweigert was selected as 1st team all-conference fullback and lineback and 1st team all-state as a linebacker; Dan Stanton was 1st team all- conference as a running back and 2nd team all-conference as a linebacker and as a punter as well as 1st team on the all-state team as a running back; Mitch Domagala was selected as a 1st team all-conference defensive end and as a 2nd team defensive end on the all- state team; Sean Smith was a 1st team all-conference offensive lineman and a 2nd team all-state offensive lineman; James Herbst was selected as a 1st team defensive lineman on the all-conference team as well as a 2nd team defensive lineman on the all-state team; Quenton Hickey was selected on the all-conference 1st team as a return specialist and a defensive back, honorable mention as a wide receiver and was also selected as 1st team on the all-state team as a return specialist; Doug Bechtold was selected on the 1st team all- conference as an offensive end and a defensive back, as well as 1st team defensive back on the all-state team. Jeff Nichols and Dave Kruger were also very valuable for our team in that they were able to play a variety of positions and also started some games for the Spartans. Several underclassmen also recieved recognition on the all-conference team. Mark Wandle was 2nd team all-conference as a center and Rob Merwin was 2nd team all-conference as a linebacker. Dan Stanton was selected as a member of the East Team in the East-West Shrine game and Dave Schweigert and Doug Bechtold were selected as alternates. While we did not win state championship, the coaching staff was proud of the effort and desire put forth by our whole team during the year. If this same attitude is carried by the 1986 Spartan football team, 1 am sure that it will also be a successful year. Coach Don Schillinger ag, you're it! And it's off!

F or whatever reason a person decides to go out for sports, the lessons learned are a valuable tool in dealing with the future. No matter what the outcome, particiaption in sports is a vital part of anyone's high school life!! Once again, the 1985 Spartan football team demonstrated they were a team worthy of respect. After a good season, they finished 3rd in the state, losing to Cut Bank, who went on to win the state championship. WILL BAKER BE A FOOTBALL POWER NEXT YEAR? Yes, because of our dedication!

Some people felt that the girls basketball season should be in the winter, as it is in other states. They felt that girls were not being treated equally, and tiled a suit to force Montana schools to change their seasons. However, the judge involved decided that the seasons should remain as they are. Are girls discriminated against in high school sports' In a poll of the girls basketball team, the decision was unanimous-No, girls art not discriminated against. The girls were rhe most vocal of all when asked why they prefer the schedule the way it is. Kim Zink s statement seemed to reflect everyone s opinion: ‘ It the basketball seasons were together, the fans would more than likely follow the boys I he g m time would have to be split and we might have to drop the lower squads, which would really hurt our program 71 When asked what does the team need to improve on, the following responses were given: Offensive rebounds—we need to get more than one shot.

The Spartans finished fourth in the Eastern B Conference with 9 wins and 7 losses. The Spartans put on an impressive show at the Eastern B Divisionals in Glendive. Baker dumped Fairview 57-48. They lost to Wolf Point, the Eastern B champs, 70-60. Baker came through the back door, winning the Sunday morning game by defeating Circle 67-59. The Spartans, playing for third and fourth place Saturday evening, defeated a hot-shooting Poplar Indian ball club 68-65. Due to Plentywood's loss to Wolf Point later, the site was set for a challenge game between the Baker Spartans and the Plentywood Wildcats. The winner would advance to the State B tournament. What most fans witnessed was the most exciting game of the tournament. Plentywood edged the Spartans 63 61 in double overtime. Many accomplishments and goals were obtained throughout the season. The fine, consistent play of seniors Dan Stanton. Doug Bechtold, Dave Schweigert and Jeff Nichols was an important factor for the Spartans all year. The junior guard duo of Mark Hecker and Tim Hornung gave the Spartans an impressive offensive attack for the season. Sophomore forward Rob Stanton gave the Spartans the sixth manpower so needed to win the big games. Juniors Doug ate and Clint Croy and sophomore Chuck Mahon were steady throughout the year playing many minutes of JV ball, but were always ready for Varsity. ! he Spartans finished a fine year. Many reasons can be attributed to this finish. As a coach, I feel the most important were the leadership of our seniors, the unselfish play of the team and the off- season work which involved playing basketball and lifting weights. I wish the best to Dan, Doug, Dave and Jeff. The remaining Spartans who will be seeking action next year must remember one thing: It's not how good and athletically inclined an individual is, but how big his heart is and how hard he wants to work.

I would like to thank Coaches Curry and Vezina lor all the help they've given me. I would also like to wish next year’s team good luck and I hope you guys beat Project at Divisionals! I plan to go to college in Dillion or Missoula and I hope to continue wrestling. Wrestling is a way of lile for me; it has taught me to be an individual but also how to work with a team. When the going gets tough, the tough get going! Mark Wandle, 185 lb. junior, says: ’The past season was a successful one, and I had a lot of fun. I made Varsity lor a change and wrestling varsity gave me valuable mat experience. I am looking forward to next year and I hope to place at state. With the experience gained from last year and hard work. I can hopefully reach my goals. John Greenlee, first year senior heavyweight stated Mitch Domagaia and the coaches talked me into going out this year. They seemed confident that I could do well, so I decided to give it a try. I'm really glad I went out because I had a lot of fun, especially when the firemen visited us!! 92 Sean Smith, a senior, said 1 thought I had a very successful season and I learned a lot. 1 felt everyone had a good season. Wrestling is a sport where if you spend a lot of time on practice, you're going to he good. I just wish I would have started wrestling earlier than I did. It’s a sport that changed me alot. For example, it helped my football 100%; it made me a better lineman and a better person altogether. I think wrestling will change anybody!! Casey O'Donnell, 145 lb. sophomore, had this to say, My sophomore year surpris- ingly was great. I placed 5th at state and had 30 wins and only 4 losses. At the beginning of the year I didn't know if I would make Varsity; I had to drop 15 lbs. to get down to 145. Wrestling was the only sport I was ever interested in. probably because of my brother, Thadd; he kept me wrestling when 1 wanted to quit. The happiest moment in my wrestling ca- reer was January 3 and 4 when I beat Mike O'Dell both days each match by one point. So he moved down to 138; he must have been scared of me! He went on to win state at 138, which made me mad to think I could’ve taken it if 1 would have stayed at 138, Rob Merwin. junior state champion at 132, says this, I had a great season this year and it was a a lot of fun. The year started out well but with each win the pressure built up. In the finals of the Cow- boy it caught up to me and I suffered my only loss of the season. I was pretty de- pressed but it made me stop and reeva- luate my position and goals. I was lacking self-confidence all year long and thanks to my parents, coaches and teammates, 1 re- alized that I was as good as anyone I would wrestle. I peaked at the state tour- nament and wrestled up to my potential, but the state championship could never have been accomplished without the help of the people I mentioned before. Thanks again!! 93 You've got a fly on your head! The latest in wrestling fashion. Moon gets the fall! That's a nice watch you got there. W'haddya mean no points!!!?'? Over the top!

There was also a great turnout of first year players for the J V squad. Xhis should be a great help to Spartan Volleyball next year. I he double kill shoe, Above; Stretch Lora!

The boys were able to win the division- al meet, scoring 85 points, and the girls were able to place 2nd. Despite inclement weath- er and the cancellation of four meets, several school re- cords were broken. The 400 meter relay team consisting of Doug Bechtold, Rob Stanton, Greg Robinson and Dan Stanton broke the divi- sional record; the 1600 meter relay team of Greg Robin- son, Wade Verke, Dan Stan- ton and Mark Hecker broke the school record, Doug Bechtoid broke the school record in the high jump with a leap of 6'6 at the state meet, which placed him sec- ond at state. Coleen Barkley broke the school record in the triple jump. Six seniors graduated and will be hard to replace.

In addition, Shawn Fradenburgh captured the school’s 18 hole record of 86 and averaged 96 for two days. Jeff Nichols captured the 36 hole record of 190, which is a 95 two day average. They were followed by Tim Tweet, who had a two day average of 101, Joel Bechtold with 109 and Ben Barefoot with 115. For the first time in Baker’s golf team history, both the girls and the boys team scores were below 400 both days. The girls were led by Jessie Barefoot, followed by Carmen Rost. Patty Bremer and Kimberlee Quenzer and totaled 763 (376 plus 387). The boys totalled 796 (397 plus 399). Coach Menger would hope that each of the returning players will get as much play in as possible this summer on our golf course to keep our team improving.

The team had to learn everything, from the proper grip to singles and doubles strategy. And learn they did. Comparing the Baker girl's experience with that of their opponents, the Spartans did very well. The Spartan's progress throughout the season was very evident as, having lost to some jv teams early in the season, they finished by defeating some varsity singles players and doubles teams at the division als in Miles City. Being a sport in its infant stages, there is a lot of room to improve. With ten returning players (seven are freshmen), the girls will continue to improve and win matches if they work during the off season. Though all the girls deserved awards, the following received awards as voted by their teammates: Most Valuable Vicki Arnell, Most Im -Carey Croy. It has been my privilege to coach tennis this year and I look forward to the coming season. Tennis is a sport much like wrestling, in that once the contest begins, the coach has little to say or do. It’s hard to be stil1 and quiet, but the girls make the most of their own skills, so I have learned to relax and enjoy. The future looks bright and I anticipate seasons to come. 109 Coach Kendall t You can wake up now Mitch. What a jiuy! no HEYYYY . I 1 i Above See what 1 gat? Left: Let s dance!

This year’s library aides, AMANDA SIKORSKI, DALE SINGER, RO- BYN SCHWINDT, DARCY REUM, TRICIA STRANGFORD, WADE VERKE, GREG ROBINSON AND CAREY CROY, were busier than ever betore, helping students find information for their term papers, pointing out an interesting book, or just supplying the latest comic strip trom the BILL- INGS GAZE'! TE. Their duties also included keeping the bulletin boards up- to-date and interesting, keeping track of all the books and making sure the library was a quiet place to study. As an incentive to get more students and teachers to use the library, several schemes were implemented. One was a guessing game, try to figure out how many different items you can put in a plastic Easter egg. The winners, pictured below, were able to pick a favorite book from the library as their prize. HEY, we always work [his hard! YEAH, I'm supposed to be here!

Do you plan on becoming a self-made millionaire by the age of 25? Or would you be satisfied with merely owning the top professional football team in the U.S? Or maybe the most exclusive restaurant in New York City? If any or all of these career options appeal to you, the DECA organization at BHS can offer you some excellent advice on how to get started in your particular field, what your greatest chances lor success are, some of the risks involved, and the training you will need. One of the aims of DECA is to provide students with on-the-job training for a career they are interested in, giving them an edge lor when they do enter their chosen field. Probably the one DECA tradition that most BHS students know about and are interested in is the annual DECA candy bar sale. Each year, hundreds of candy bars are sold to the BHS students, providing the DECA treasury with a good deal of money. PUBLICATIONS Back, l-r: Sheila Graham, Kim Groshans.

The students were taught a variety of publication techniques, such as cor- rect copy writing, editing, interviesv- ing, etc. The students worked very hard to produce their two major publications, but there were two students who were particularly outstanding in their perfor- mance: Sheila Graham and Kim Gro- shans. The class did an outstanding job and should be commended lor their hard work and creativeness. The class was team-taught by Mrs. Curry and Mrs. Bettenhausen.

The BHS Spartanettes had an active year in 1985 86. Their first project for the year was to plan and decorate the gym tor Homecoming. Coronation in September. They also helped the cheerleaders with Spirit Night and other Homecoming festivities. During the year, the Spartanettes decorat- ed lockers for the football, boys and girls basketball, cross country, wrestling, and vol- leyball teams before big games or tourna- ments. To earn money during the year, the Spar- tanettes held 2 raffles. In November they raf- fled off 2 Thanksgiving turkeys. Before Prom in April, they also raffled off 2 dinner certifi- cates to be used at the Prom. The Spartanettes ended their busy year with a Lip-Sync Contest and dance in April. Four acts competed in the contest, which was won by the Listless Lizards (Kara Burns, Tri- cia Scrangford and Dawn Stuart) with their lip-sync of the song I Want Money.

And this class is supposed to be HARD? 147 A STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE .,. In one of the country's largest cities, the old and young alike gather at night to sleep on the steam vents in the sidewalks. They huddle together, their tattered clothing covering layers and layers of newspaper lutilely trying to stay warm in the -20° weather. The shelters are all tull. there is no where else tor them to go. I his is a scene one might expect to find in Mexico or some other impoverished nation. But in reality, this is taking place right in our own country. The problem of America's homeless and destitute has never been this great since the Great Depression. In a land of plenty, of great wealth and technology, it’s difficult to realize that a segment of our society exists in such a primitive manner. Literally thousands of people lost their jobs as company after company made drastic cuts in their employment rosters or closed their doors completely. Without enough money to buy their groceries, pay their light bills or even their rent or house payments, they were driven out of their homes. Many took to the roads, travelling from city to city, state to state, desperately seeking work. They spent their nights in their cars, finding a friendly gas station that would let them wash, grabbing a bag of potato chips for breakfast. Others chose to camp out, perhaps under a bridge, near a dump, in an abandoned building, any place that would offer protection. Every day, more and more people are awakening to the fact that something must be done to help save our people. More and more cities are opening food banks and shelters, private citizens are opening their homes and pocketbooks. Even celebrities are helping out. Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson and John Cougar Mellencamp are just a few of the many who have joined the campaign against poverty. And the Journey continues........... 148 Gerrick Angei Julie Bublicz Shad Croy Jarrett Hadley Dana Karch Sandy Barkley Charity Celander Ang ie Defferding Dusten Hattield Lori Kellner Amanda Barrett Pierette Christensen Colette Erickson Ryon Hecker Kelly Kinsey Kris Bechtold Chastity Collins Ginger Feisthamel Tammy Hornung Angie Kirvan -r 1‘amra Bremer Maura Cornelius i'rina Gunderson April Kachel Kelly Krieger 149 Seventh Gra Michele Lindeman Mary Mahon Scott Nichols Patricia Russ Tawnia Skogsberg Amy Losing Mike Menger Jasi O Connor Lisa Schlafman Nick Thimmesch Cathie Lund Nate Naperstek Shawn Ranum April Schueler Mel Varner Roy Lutts Kim Newell Shari Rossow April Schwindt Bob Wheeler Steve Madler Kyle Newell Roy Rost Cara Setinc Brvon Wiman Not Pictured: Wes Dent Shelly Diegel Tony Grenz Brooke Gundlach 150 I he lite of a 7th grader!! What can you say about the youngest and the most picked on class in the middle school and high school? ! hese 7th graders found quite a bit to say about the prob- lems they face: Sandy Barkley feels that one of the WORST things about being in the 7th grade is the 8th grade boys because they are always picking on her. The worst thing to Patricia Russ is getting her locker open. (Just wait until you get into high school!) Amy Losing gets REALLY upset when she has to walk down to hot lunch in the cold weather! Not having enough dances is the big- gest complaint that April Kachel has. And be- lieve it or not, Tamra Bremer and Angela Def- ferding both feel that they have way too much homework to do. Wait!! But even with all the drawbacks about being a th grader, most students w ere able to find something positive about being the youngest class - they're only one year away from being an 8th grader!! 8th grade - that magical grade. Not quite in high school, but not the lowest on the totem pole. When asked what they were looking forward to the most about being in the 8th grade, the following responses w ere given: Kris Bechtold, Cathie Lund and Kris Varner - having senority over the 7th graders and being able to pick on them!! Chastity Collins is looking forward to getting to sit in the back of the bus on basketball trips. Roy Rost - 8th grade graduation. Brook Gundlach - almost being in high school! 151 MIDDLE SCHOOL TROJANS MIDDLE SCHOOL FOOTBAI L: Back 1-r Coach Jones, Kelly Kinsey, Shad Croy, David Orth.

These young men have a lot of work in store for their high school years, but with a lot of hard work and desire they will achieve. ‘’th GRADE BASKETBALL: Back l-r; Ryan Hecker, Nate Naptstek, Dustin Hatfield, Manager Sandy Barkely, Kelly Kntger From l-r C hctrleadtr Maura Cornelius,Jeremy Aaseng.

Music to wait by. 162 Do you really think they'll let u$ graduate??? Go ahead, you can have it. Just think, four more years 4 aS The 8th grade graduates of Baker Middle School all have one thing in common: a desire to see what the world holds in store for them. All of the members are anxiously awaiting high school, whether it's for the extra activities they will be able to join, for the people they will be meeting, or just to get the next four years done with as quickly as possible. The members of this class are faced with a future in a world that may sometimes seem very bleak and unpromising. The people in our area have been hit hard by the drop in oil prices, by the drought, the plagues of grasshoppers, accompanied with falling agricultural prices. The students ot BHS will face a hard future, but one that they will be well prepared to meet. Good luck your next four years at BHS. 163 1986 PROM—YOUNG April 12, 1986 - the night the junior class of 1987 had been anticipating and working for since the day they be- gan high school-PROM! All those long, hard hours of planning, organizing and working were about to pay off. The 1986 Prom was centered on the theme YOUNG AND INNOCENT. The decorations chosen to compli- ment the theme were unicorns and stars in dark blue, light blue and silver. The focal point was a parachute with stars. As with any event of this size and importance, there are bound to be many frustrations and disappointments. The major problem for the juniors was getting a band. The first band chosen broke up shortly before the Prom; plans tor a second one fell through; finally, the Monday before the Prom the band PREZENS was signed. Students polled were unanimous in their assessment of the music: ' FAN- TASTIC!! For eight seniors, the Prom v.'as very memorable. Not only was it their last one, but they had been chosen by the junior class as candidates for Prom King and Queen. The candidates were: Tricia Strangford, Amanda Sikorski, Sheila Graham, Sandi Kruger, Scott Wood, James Herbst, Sean Smith and Jeff Nichols. The moment had arrived: Amanda and Jeff wrere chosen to reign over the 1986 Prom. Amanda said she was very surprised and Jeff was very excited to be chosen. Con- gratulations to the King and Queen and to the class of 87—you did a fantastic job! 1986 PROM ROYALTY-Clockwise from right: Queen Amanda and King left; Sheila and James; Sandi and Sean; Tricia and Scott.

Watching girls go by! I don e know what I'd do without her! Everything seemed perfect—it was a story book day .. . It was a bright, beautiful, sunny morning at Cape Canaveral on January 28. As a nation watched in pride and anticipation via tv, as friends and family watched and cheered from the viewing pad at the Cape itself, the spaceship Challenger roared into the clear Florida sky. The shuttle carried seven brave men and women; seven individuals hungry for a chance to experience the unknown. Flight Commander Dick Scobee, Pilot Michael J. Smith, Aerospace Engineer Ellison S. Onizuku, Physicist Ronald McNair, Electrical Engineer Gregory Jarvis, Electrical Engineer Judith Resnick and Teacher Christa McAuliffe all lost their lives when, barely a minute into its flight, the Challenger suddenly exploded. A stunned, shocked audience watched in disbelief and horror as the debris rained down into the ocean surrounding the Cape. The families and friends of the astronauts could only stand, numb with disbelief; they could only hope and pray that SOMEHOW, despite the huge, shattering explosion, the seven crew members would survive. They did not. Here at Baker High School, teachers and students alike gathered in the AV Room to watch the re-plays again and again, hoping against hope. Many of the teachers and students were moved to tears, even though they knew none of the astronauts personally. But we all shared a common goal: The goal of a better future, of a better life, of a better understanding of who and what we are. Amid all the controversy and speculation surrounding the explosion, the blame-shifting, the accusations, only one thing is certain: Seven adventur- ers lost their lives for their country. But their memory will live on . . . And so we continue our journey. Above: Do you know how ro use this rig. Right: First period is such a drag. Rick, I im doesn't look that bad. Having fun, Jason? Speaking with the enemy, huh boys?? That's right, we re cool1.! AND THE TERROR CONTINUES ... After davs, months, even years of terrorist attacks on innocent civilians, President Ronald Reagan decided it was time to strike back. Shortly before 2 a.m. on a morning in April, 18 F-lll fighter hombers approached Libya, their target Tripoli. Within 11 minutes the attack was over. Two groups hit the Sidi Belal naval base and the Bad al Aziziga barracks, headquarters of Muammar Kaddafi. Carrier-based U.S. Navy planes hit the port of Benghazi. When the smoke finally cleared, the losses became apparent: the Libyans reported that 37 people died in the raid and 93 were injured. In addition, one F-lll, hit by anti-aircraft fire, plunged into the Mediterranean. The two men on board, Capt. Fernando Ribas-Dominicci and Capt. Paul Lorence died in the fiery crash. World-wide opinion ranged from total support for the President's actions to a contemptible condemnation of the attack. Even some of the U.S. allies, most notably France, were so much against the bombing that they refused to let the U.S. fly through their air space. No matter what their individual opinions, American citizens, in fact, most of the people of the world, are united in one thought: Terrorism Must be Stopped. Above; 1 chink Clint is amused!

Bill Cosby, has proved once again to all people in all walks of life that it is possible to be funny and entertaining, without using crude, obscene language or material. THE BILL COSBY SHOW, the brainchild of Bill Cosby himself, has been rated Number 1 in tv shows all across America. Another top-billed show this year is MIAMI VICE, presenting the seamy side of Miami, yet portraying the detectives as young, attrac- tive men with lives outside their career. Along with the upbeat music, the show has popularized the Miami Vice Look”; rumpled cotton blazers, silk t-shirts and no socks. And of course, the infa- mous 5 o'clock shadow”. Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thom- as are ’the people to be this year. With his portrayal in both RAM BO and ROCKY IV, Sylvester Stallone has brought the american hero to life once again. After years of hiding following the turbulent 60s. Stallone has once again made words like loyalty”, national pride”, guts” and ’’brav- ery” everyday goals. Love him or hate him. no one can deny that his mo ies have had a profound affect on the movie-goers of today. The characters in his two most famous movies seem to have a great deal in common: they both depend on themselves to make the system work; they both seem to face odds that would turn most people away in defeat; and they both seem to somehow, at the most crucial moment, find the stamina or the strength to vanquish all enemies, to emerge victorious.

As the rest of the world stood by in horror and disbelief, the devastated countries tried to go on with life. September 19, an ordinary day in Mexico City. But sudden- ly, at 7:18 a.in., the ground began to shake with a tremendous, deadly force. Within seconds, over 2,(XX) people died and over 10.000 were buried somewhere in the ruins of the citv. For many of those buried alive, help would come too late. W ithin seconds an entire Columbian town of over 20,000 people was obliterated when the volcano Nevada del Ruiz erupted. The force of the eruption was equivalent to the ancient explosion of Mount Vesuvius. Despite earlier warnings from the volcano itself, the inhabi- tants of Columbia were taken by surprise. Like the 1980 blast of Mount St. Helens, there was no flow of lava; rather, the heat of the blast melted the thick snow cover that ordinarily covered the mountain. The melting snow trickled down the mountain, picking up stones and debris, reaching speeds of 30 m.p.h. This flow roared into rivers, creating an even larger avalanche, consuming everything in its path. Many of the inhabitants of the town of Ainero were sti 1 asleep when the avalanche roared through their town, burying most of the people in a sea of mud and debris. The flow continued on its path, destroying 3 other communities. In the aftermath of the disaster, there was only silence, until the moans and cries of the injured and dying began. :v Stafgtaf f Jim Stanron Superintendent Tom McGonigal Principal Don Schillinger Vice Principal Mary Alice Havens High School Secretary Carol Bechtold High School Clerk Elame Stanhope Deputy Dlerk Ross Barefoot Guidance Counselor Pam Beach Home Ec.

We can say I wish I was a Senior or ' I can’t wait until I'm 18, then I'm really going to live! Don't wish your life away—do your living today—for tomorrow may never come. Remember the year 1985-86, the year we all grieved at the explosion of the Challenger space shuttle and the loss of 7 lives; the terrible earthquake in Mexico, shattering hundreds of lives; the continuing famine in Ethiopia; the struggle in South Africa to gain equality for everyone; the terrorist bombings in Berlin; the attack on Libya. Let us remember and never forget. But let us also remember the breakthroughs in finding a cure for cancer, the improvements in organ transplants; the awakening of man’s generosity as he learns to share with those less fortunate; the firm belief that good will persevere—that man will somehow' triumph over all the evils of the world. Let us remember-and never forget.
