Baker High School - Spartan Yearbook (Baker, MT)

Text from Pages 1 - 76 of the 1988 volume:

Student Life 1 THE HEARTBEAT It was time once again to get back into that familiar old rou- tine—early mornings and late late nights spent doing homework, practicing or just good old socializ- ing. Summer had been fun, but it was sure good to get back into the HEARTBEAT!!!! For many students there was the gnawing question: “Could Baker become STATE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS two years in a row? Unfortunately they didn't, but in the process the guys and the rest of the school proved some- thing—THEY WILL ALWAYS BE CHAMPIONS!!!! For other students it was time to settle down for that last year of school-THE BIG ONE! Some had dreams of becoming honor stu- dents and many achieved that dream; others yearned to just fig- ure out what it was they wanted out of life. Together these people created the spirit of Baker High School — they created the HEARTBEAT! Two of the promising basketball stars of the future, Tanya Gamrath and I'ammy Hornung, do their best to regain posses- ABOVE: Anyone can dress in high fashion, but Carmen Rost proves that the woman DOES make the clothes.

PEOPLE WHO JUDGE BY YOUR OUTSIDE I dislike these people. 1 hey don't even know what you look like inside, so they just don’t ask, but judge the outside of you.

For the first time ever. Baker was the host for two foreign exchange students, VALERIE DEPAUW and RAMI UR HO. Valerie was an exchange student from Belgium while Rami was from Finland. Both of these students became very involved both in the school and in the community and taught the citizens of Baker and the students of the school just as much as they learned during their stay in the United States. Top right: Valeric DePuaw demonstrates her new- found skill at the high jump. Above: Valerie DePauw can only smile when she’s asked if she s really going to miss us.

Left: Steve Wheeler, Renee Askin and Kris Varner practice their latest dance invention—the Spartan Hop. Above: Someone should really tell Pierette Christensen that the place to sleep is at home in her bed. Student Life 23 Baker High School is very fortunate to have several computers in different classrooms and areas for the students' use. There are several classes taught on the use of computers, and more students are utilizing computers to complete their regular class assignments. In addition, the library has a computer and several other information machines or systems that make the job of researching an assignment much easier. (Right) Robbie Hickey is shown using one of the library's tools to do research for an English assignment. A very popular class with many students at BHS is the weight training class. Here, students learn the proper techniques to improving their body and muscie tone and learn how to develop a well-proportioned body. In addition, many students find that weight training helps them a great deal in the extra-curricular sports they compete in. (Above) Mike Wheeler is trying hard to get those legs in shape. (Right) Fred Hepperle concentrates on his lift, while Nolan Verke watches in the mirror. 24 Student Life Each year, several students realize that one way to a less expensive and more individualized wardrobe is through learning how to sew and tailor their own clothing. (Left) Kim Fixx is busy laying out the pattern pieces for another new outfit. (Below) Amy Stark is hard at work on another original creation— and it's not black!! Without the use of the Creative Writing class, it would be very difficult to have a Spartan Scroll or the Spartan annual. Because so many students are involved in so many extra-curricular activities, there simply isn't enough time to prepare these two publications after school. (Left) Kelly O'Donnell is pictured trying to layout one of the class pages. Student Life 25 When the last school bell rang on May 25th, there was cause for laughter and joy; relief, to be done with school for one more year, but there was also cause for tears and sorrow. For many students, this would be their last year at BHS. For them, next fall will bring the beginning of college, entrance into the armed forces, or a new job to begin their careers. Other students will be moving to dif ferent towns and different schools during the sum- mer. But they will all have left their mark on BHS.

Student I.ife 27 What's in, what's out? What's hot, what’s not? To the casual fashion observer, 1987-88 would probably seem like the year when anything and everything was “in '. The style of dressing was as unique and as varied as the personality of the students themselves. Many of the boys adapted the colored Levis look, while several opted lor the latest designer pastel colors, especially in shirts. Judging from the hair scene at BHS, it didn t matter w'hether you had long or short hair; as long as you HAD hair, you were in. The girls chose the “back-again mini-skirts, along with little white boots, anklets, or even the “latest” craze, the torn Levi look. Some became hard and fast “Dweebies” (how dumb can YOU look in the name of fashion?). Whatever the fashion, it certainly made the halls of BHS a lot more interesting!!! Right: Neal Pinnow and Chris May model the latest style in men’s shorts, thanks to the Student Council, which persuaded the school board to give shorts a trial basis. Bottom right; Colette Erickson models her latest shades, especially handy when you’re looking at guys and you don't want them to know it.

Bottom right: Todd Anderson models the long and short styles styles of hair. Bottom left: Garry O’Connor proves that Levi’s and a t- shirt will always be in! Student Life 29 The Spartanettes sponsored the 3rd Annual Lip Sync Contest Satur- day, April 30. There were four groups competing Tor cash prizes of $25, $ 15, and $10. It was tough competition as “The Anheisers and the “TFDY' tied for 3rd place. “The AnheiserY' consisted of Jason Peterson, Todd Barkley, Tim Howe, and Tom Howe. “The TFDY' were Rodney Bechtold, Ryan Pool, Justin Hadley, Troy O'Connor, and Dan Hoenke. “The Freshman Beauties placed 2nd as they lipsynced a song called “Kiss Me Deadly”. “The Freshman Beauties” were Kim Newell, Shelley Diegel, Kris Bechtold, and Brook Gundlach. “The Senior Studs and the Junior Dud” placed 1st for the song “Shop- pin' From A to Z They consisted of Lori Christianson, Becky Carver, and Tanya Gamrath.

The evening's enter- tainment included hula dancers, Polynesian dances, and several songs from different Polynesian nations. The evening was hosted by Sandy Kinsey (Napua Kauahi), her cousin Kehaulani and her husband Kcalii.

Student Lifc 35 April 16, Saturday, proved to be a Midnight Fantasy in more than one way for the many couples who attended the 1988 Prom. Longfellow Gym was beautifully decorated with stars, special columns and overall magic. Many hours of hard work and worry went into the designing and building re- quired to transform an ordinary gym into a “Midnight Fantasy”. The junior class was advised and helped by sponsors John Hecker and Dave Blake. Middle right: Michelle Price and Kent Wood signify their approval of the 1988 Prom. Bottom right: Ma and Pa Hecker.

Prom 4 On Sunday, May 22, at 7:30 p.m., 47 senior students of BHS tearfully said good-bye to their classmates, friends, teachers and families as they left their school days behind and be- gan a new life. Even those who tried to be brave and shrug off the graduation ceremo- ny as “no big deal , were a little teary-eyed and wistful looking before the night was through. This year’s class was not short on «T talent, although it may have been smaller than several preceeding classes. Of the 47 members of the class of 1988, there were 30 seniors on the honor roll. Valedictorian for the 1988 class was Carmen Rost, while Carrie O'Donnel was salutatorian. The speaker for the evening was U.S. Air Force ( apt. Vance Johnson, who was a 1977 graduate of Baker.

Will I remember the fresh spring smells and singing sounds from birds on a lush green hillside? Looking into the past, I feel kind of sad because I realize this wasn’t so bad. Where will I be when I step off this fast-moving train called life? Will 1 ever forget this little town full of warm thoughts and memories?

REMEMBERANCE OF THE HEARTBEAT I walk through these empty halls one last lime, straining to hear the echoes of all the years that I’ve spent in this school, straining to hear the heartbeats of all the friends I've met here, of ail the others who came before me, of the ones yet to come. It seems like only yesterday I was walking into my kindergarten classroom and meeting my very first teacher. I was so scared that no one would like me. that no one would want to play with me. My biggest worry back then was to try to take my daily nap. And now. I'm wear- ing my cap and gown, saying my last good-byes to twelve years of my life. How many times have 1 walked these halls, wishing that I could be done with all this, done with all the homework and the rules and regu- lations, done with this “baby part of my life? I would lay in bed at night and think of all the fun and glamorous things I could do if only 1 wasn't stuck in this town and still in high school. And now that the moment has arrived, the moment w-hen I can Anally be my own boss. I'm scared. I don't know really what I want to be. Oh, I've always said 1 wanted to go on to college and become somebody important, but I don't even know who that “somebody is. There’s the office and Mr. Schillinger’s room; 1 wonder if he ever thought I’d make it this far? I’ll bet 1 spent half my junior year in his office! But I guess it was ok, because here I am. all set for a new world. Here's the business rooms; man, the hours 1 spent in there, trying to get my balance sheet to balance, trying to get just one timed typing test done. And the English rooms; how- many times did I whine about having to read five chapters of TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD in one night, or argue about the importance of studying Shake- speare. And remember trying to diagram sen- tences? And here’s the history room, guess it’s time now to put all the lessons about man and gov- ernment to use now. Maybe I’ll be that one person who can learn from the past and not make the same mistakes everyone else has. Who could ever miss the smell of the science mix together to make “the big one that would blow up the lab and get us all out of school for one extra day? And the library—sometimes it seems like I did more socializing in there than anything else. But I actually did read a lot of books, and found out that I‘m not the only person in this world who’s been confused and lost. Remember those days in shop and home ec? We’d get done working on an engine and trying to get it to run and then have to go to Mealtime I and whip up a souffle. And the math room; memorizing all those equations and HAVING TO SHOW ALL MY WORK! I can hear some little kid practicing the school song in the band hall; 1 thought I’d never get that one memorized. The gym’s completely empty, but I can still hear the roaring of the crowds the time we w on state championship, and the time we lost that one game by one point in three overtimes. All of a sudden I w ish 1 could go back and do it all over again; maybe this time 1 wouldn’t make all those dumb mistakes. But for now. all Seniors 49 TODD JAMES ANDERSON When a dog runs at you, whistle for him. RON C.

THE BEST YEARS Why do people say that your high school years are the best years of your life? Do they remember the pain of their first break- up with a girl or boy friend? Do they remember the feelings of insecurity when they tried to decide what school they would attend? Do they remember what it w'as like at home? The fights over curfew and boys and girls? Do they remmeber how it felt to have their best friend be in love with the same guy? Do they remember the homework load, espe- cially their senior year? Do they remember p.e. class and the running they were made to do? Do they remember any of this? Do they remember all the grief the teachers gave them for things that weren't always their fault? it seems they don’t and won't remember, be- cause it is said that w-hat’s too painful to remember we simply choose to forget. We look at the light and hide from the dark- ness. never venturing into that part of life that makes us what we are. For if we have no fear, can we understand peace? If we know how bad things can be, we can see how good things are. For high school is only the start. It is up to each of us to make a life and a difference in the world, or at least our cor- ner of it. High school is not the end and it's not as good as it is remembered. But it is like most aspects of life. It has its good points and its bad, and it also has a purpose: to prepare all of us to become adults.

Before we travel out to the oval where the fes- tivities are being held, we stop to have a pop at the world famous ! RADY S ' the home of the 1 radyburger and Doll) Doughnut, lo our sur- prise, the genuises behind this organization arc our two classmates, SHAWN FRADEN BURGH and LISA DAHLMAN. Time for the reunion was drawing near so we said our last farewells to Lisa and Shaw n. White driving out to the oval, we meet LISA CHRISTIAN- SON, who seemed to be having car trouble. Lisa is now the new ow ner of Western Airlines. We had to call WARD CLARK's “U Cra- sh'Em-U Pay I or it” wrecker service in Mar- math. We continue our drive out lo the oval and we notice a 1998 convertible. We find out it belongs to JOEL BECHTOLD. the new owner of Geno's Thick Crust Pizza. For a little extra money, toe! does commercials for “Shower to Shower Boy Powder . Parked next to Joel's car is a black Cadillac belonging to AMY STARK. We just saw her new Broadway last week. Amy plays the role of Prissy, the black maid. CYNAMON BURDICK proirays the role of Scarlet O'Hara in this blockbuster play. As we leave the parking lot, we meet i ISA HEIM, it seems she has finally found a way to keep her racquet ball goggles unfogged. She has been busy on the National Professional Road Tour. Next we find ROB STANTON, a re- tired pro football player for the Dallas Cow- boys, now an insurance salesman. Rob is trying to sell insurance to his sister MISSY’ STAN- TON. the new owner and first woman coach of the NBA team the Boston Celtics. She is the only white person on the bus besides the bus driver Rick Rost. Heading to the refreshment table, we find CHUCK MAHON, now a de- fense attorney w ho is defending LYN ASK IN in a malpractice suit. Rumor has it that Lyn accidentally put cyanide pills in famous com- puter whiz KRISTINA SELi 'S stress pre- scription. MICHELl E LA JESSE. Kristina's doctor, did everything in her power to help her. Michelle discovered a new antidote to fully cure Kris. We now find ALBERT RICH- MOND and CARMEN ROS , both contend- ers for the Nobel Peace Prize, talking about working together to help find a cure for AIDS. Meanwhile, wc spot TODD ANDERSON who is looking through his bioculars. He claimed he saw a Y'ellow Belly Sap-Suckern, but we think it was just too much punch. The one and only Ronald McDonald was attending as KENT WOOD S guest. Kent is currently the new di- rector 0! the McDonald's Band. Way to go Kent. We just read in the newspaper where BECKY CARV ER lost her one million dollars she won in the Montana State Lottery. She was such a penny pincher that she thought she could get away with not paying taxes but JIL.L AND NOW' IT’S TIME TO SEE HOW OUR PREDICTIONS TURNED OUT. THE YEAR IS 1998- HOW CLOSE WERE WE ON OUR PREDICTIONS? PLEASE FI I I IN THE SPACE AND INDICATE EACH GRADUATING SENIOR'S CURRENT CAREER!!! BEST OF LUCK TO ALL OF Y’OU! 56 Seniors W1KE put a slop to that Jill works for ihe [RS and unfortunately had to lake all of Beckster's money away. Thank goodness she wasn't thrown in jail. ANDY MILLER is now the host of Wheel of f ortune. They found a wrinkle on Vanna White's face, so TERR! LOSING is now the new hostess. We read in the EN- Ql IRER that Andy isn’t too happy with the producers since they are paying Terri more money. We were surprised to see PA1 TV R ATH here since she has been really busy with her new Day Care Center GARY SINGER just won the Kentucky Derby last week racing NEAL PINOW'S horse “Lucky . Jogging out to the oval is LORI CHRISTIANSON, the new aerobics instructor of the Chicago Health Club. Trailing behind her we find JODI MADLER. Jodi is getting ready for the Boston Marathon. Next we see CARRIE O'DON- NELL, the new retailer for “Fredericks in Hollywood. We also run into TORI COLINS. who works for the Star. She has a column called Secrets of the Stars .
