V 4 People and Student Life Watching those elk steaks fry into a lucious dish for supper is just part of Kathey Rebish and Michele Gar- rett’s experience on cabin retreats. People and Student Life Beside classes, activities, and sports was a life that contrasted the daily grind of the school routine. It was a time for students to either kick back and relax or do something energetic and full of excitement. When the weekends rolled around, some had the choice of watching videos at home or taking a roadtrip out of town for a few hours........maybe overnight. Others made memorable three day weekends out of hunting trips, skiing trips, or con- certs. On the other hand, there was work to be done and money to be made. After school, homeward it wasn’t. It was back to work again for a few more hours. If not rest, work, or entertainment, it was concentration on health and fitness. The highlight to some was the aerobics wor- kout offered at WMC. Others felt a jog to the cemetary or a game of tennis, racquetball, or baseball was more effective.

Modern Marco Polo, Nels Nelson, stands proud on the Great Wall of China. Studying for exams rather than playing on the beach took a good part ofCina- mon Romerfs summer. This year three outstanding students excelled away from home. These students are Nels Nelson, Lin- da Nelson, and Cinamon Romers. They went to such places as Peking, China; Phoenix, Arizona; and Santa Barbara, California. Nels went on a seven- teen day trip to China. He went to several cities including Peking, Begin, Beging, and Xian. Fifteen wrestlers and two coaches from Montana traveled in this group. Among other new wrestling tech- niques, Nels learned how to eat with chopsticks. Linda Nelson was one of ten Montana High School basketball players chosen to attend the 1986 Girls Prep International Tournament held at the Universtiy of Phoenix in Arizona. Linda returned with the consolation Championship trophy for her team’s effort. Disco was also one of the many things she learned during her stay in Arizona. Cinamon Romers was accepted to the University of California Santa Barbara’s summer session. She attended this six week long summer school for Ju- niors into which only four hundred were accepted. Learning how to surf kept her busy outside of the “College on the Beach”. Vital Signs 7 ir Hot As soon as the last class was over, it became obvious that a long awaited summer had be- gun. In response to the siz- zling heat students jumped into their shorts and swim- suits to head for the ever pop- ular hang outs. Many stu- dents went to the dam for some water skiing, and boogie board fans headed for the riv- er to catch some waves. Still others spent their time catch- ing up on lost sleep. Sun bathing was a major ac- tivity for the girls, and the talk of the town was who had the best tan. Often people would be seen on a roof top or in a backyard with suntan oil spread all over their bodies. Summer night life is a lot of fun with out door parties, bar- b-ques, and lots of good com- pany. All in all it was a lot of fun, through Labor Day and right up until school started. “Give me one, loaded, please!”, says Jennie Hegstad as her unbearable hun- ger pains over- come her. Practicing her body building at the dam, Tiffany Nar- anche demonstrates a bicep curl. 8 Summer Activities Fearing for her life, Margie McGinley runs to the waves equipped with an innertube.

Hoping to establish new tra- ditions that will be enjoyed for years to come, they intro- duced the ideas to reestablish a class theme, a class motto, a class song, and a class color. Election to the job of class of- ficer shows the respect and trust classmates hold for this elite group. President Cheri Hoem said, “I felt like I was supported because the class was behind me and wouldn’t let me down.” The Senior Class officers as they appeared on Zoo Day 1987 are (clockwise, left to right) Margie McGinley, Cindi Pierce, Cheri Hoemf Jackie De- laney, and Becky Pozega.

Is Fair? etting into perfect position for the dangerous wild cow milking event, two cowboys waited patiently for the stub- born cow to burst out of the shoot. Breaking away quickly, one cowboy snared her around the neck while the other hopped off of his horse to hold her. Difficulty arose, but after three desperate at- tempts, the milk was gath- ered. It was just enough. Now one cowboy started running towards the finish line. As he was running, the mud collect- ed on his boots to add some precious time to the attempt. He gulped the milk in cele- bration of his crossing the fin- ish line. This was one of the many events that took place on Labor Day Weekend. Competitiveness filled the air as August 29 arrived. The desperate months of prepara- tion were starting to pay off. Exotic exhibits ranging from photography to doughnuts filled each 4-H building. At- tracting many, the annual carnival churned the stom- achs of daring individuals. Montana’s Biggest Weekend, despite the rain, ended with the sun peeking through the clouds. Jan Harrison and her two year old Quarter horse strut their stuff.

For the last three months of school, students were count- ing down the days until sum- mer arrived. It was here, but what should we do to fill some time? Getting a job was an an- swer that solved most stu- dents’ questions. Part-time, full-time, or anytime jobs were available. “It was a good experience because when you go out in the real world, you are prepared,” said Kim Hager, who worked for an at- torney. Searching for jobs isn’t easy, and teenagers found themselves at the local job service filling out many job applications. Some had real connections where the job was open. Making A W rootbeer floats, filling bags at IGA, and fixing D.Q. Bliz- zards were all part of a days’ work. “Making ice cream was an exotic experience,” said Suzanne Hicks, who worked at the Diary Queen. Karen Shiopen, who works at IGA, claimed, “The gro- cery business is a totally boss experience.” All in all, getting a job isn’t all that bad. Just think of the money. Working in the back room at Coast to Coast, Craig Pozega puts the finish- ing touches on a bicycle tune-up. Cheri Hoem works hard at making burgers “Just the way you like 'em at the Dairy Queen.

This is just one of the many endeavors the junior class, along with their officers, pursued and conquered. True Preparing for their final year, they planned ways to make money for their senior trip. With a lot of inspiration, they worked diligently on bright plans for the future. The Junior Class has a lot to show for this year and they have big expectations for the next.

In Touch Outside Despite a severe lack of snow, dedicated sportsmen and women searched for a place to participate in their three fa- vorite sports; skiing, snowmo- biling, and sledding. Snowmobilers found the best snow at Elkhorn, participat- ing in such activities as poker runs, taking a trip to Crystal Park, or just cruising around. Sledding was done in many forms. Some of the more hearty people found a steep slope, fit as many friends as they could onto an innertube, and took off down the hill. Other substituted by drag- ging a sled behind a car. Many new pairs of skis were bought and many hours spent while students searched for the ultimate slope. The first place to look was at Maverick Mountain, just a forty-five minute drive from town. Once they got there, they found that the skiing left something to be desired. It was, in fact, these rocky conditions that sent many skiers to other areas such as Lost Trail, an- other half-hour away. Some went even farther to Bridger Bowl near Bozeman, or Dis- covery Basin near Butte. No matter where you went, or what you did, all that mat- tered was that you had fun. ■ - 1 + Maverick Mountain In- structor Brian Harri- son demonstrates re- verse psychology by putting his skis on back- wards.

Learning a faster game was the intention of Kathy Young when she attended a basketball camp at Pepperdine Univer- sity in Malibu, California, last summer. At a camp of roughly 400 people, Kathy had to be independent, and able to work hard. She summed up her experience by saying, “There was a lot of competition and a lot of great athletes. Concentrating on her quest to be Miss Teen was one thing Lori Yeager had to concentrate on. She went on to win the State title also claiming the talent and interview competitions. Lori was spon- sored by Monty and Kathy Clemow, NorWest Bank, Knock About, and LeCut, as she advanced to the National Competition in Kansas City, Missouri. When she arrived at the Kansas City Airport there was a limosine and all the luxuries that go along with a state title. Although she didn’t advance to the semi- finals in the National Pageant she felt it was a good learning experience.

Lift those legs higher. Get those knees up. Aerobics, being a highly recommended course by all, was one of the many ways to sweat off those extra pounds to get in shape. An- other aspect of getting phys- ically fit was getting involved with intramurals. Whether it was basketball, volleyball, badminton, or even soccer, many students found them- selves playing hard. Finishing first place, last place, or in be- tween, each person enjoyed participating. “I thought in- tramurals was a lot of fun,” said Shannon Kalsta. With Weight Training now offered as a class, students could work out at school. PE classes also helped all underclassmen get into shape. All in all it worked out for most everyone to get into shape. Jennifer Shubat, Michele Eason, and Marla Noack work towards that better body during weight train- ing class.

Rochelle Pebbles, Christie Johnson, and Dezer- ene Hegsted are all fine examples of Sophomores working hard to reach their goals. Rochelle and Christie attended a basketball camp in Helena which included 90 people from various places across the state. Working hard this summer paid off for both when they became members of the Beaver Basketball Squad. When asked what they would say to others think- ing of attending, they replied, Carroll is good for 1 I Juniors Sophomores ■ fundamentals, if you work hard, you will get a lot out of it. Dezerene Hegsted has been interested in rodeo since she was five years old. Having an older sister involved, she decided to make it a family effort. She starts to prepare for the rodeo in January by riding her horse every day. The practice really paid off for her, as she states, It was a thrill winning state and going on to the Nationals in South Dakota. She earned several prizes from local and national businesses. She also became a member of the National Rodeo Association.

ENTER TAINMENT Although students sometimes complained of how there was nothing to do in Dillon, many of us found much entertain- ment in rock and roll, movie stars and sports on the tube. Our radios were tuned to the returning Monkees, Bon Jovi, Van Halen with Sammy Ha- gar, Madonna, Billy Idol, and the best new band of the year, Cinderella. A popular person- ality on T.V. was Max Hea- droom. On the Silver Screen, stu- dents watched an all-time fa- vorite, Tom Cruise on the block buster, Top Gun. Oth- er popular films were Ferris Buehler’s Day Off and American Anthem. Favorite athletes were Jim McMahon, quarterback for the Chicago Bears, Brian Bos- worth “The Boz,” linebacker for the University of Oklaho- ma, and Micheal Jordan, guard for the Chicago Bulls and key promoter of Nike Air Jordan basketball shoes. Entertainment, Below: Reading up on his favorite quarterback, Jim McMahon, is one avid sports fan. Billy Idol's Whiplash Smile was jammed out to by many students. The teen heartthrob, Tom Cruise, made a killing with Top Gun. Today’s fads and fashions of- fer many different ways for people to express themselves. Our school was no exception. Walking down the halls one saw many different trends; big, bright patterns, paisley suspenders, boots, tracked hair, metallics, banana clips, and ripped Levis seemed to be some fun new things. But still at the top of the fashion list was everyone’s favorite, never-out-of-style Levi’s 501 jeans! FADS FASHION Left: Contemplating whether to add some bleach to his tracks is Eric Wolf. Below: Outra- geous hair and ripped-up clothes seem to be Matt Christiansen and Cinamon Romers9 style. Spirit Week was a time when everyone’s normal fashion rules were put aside for awhile; students came to school decked out in punk rock threads or nerds wearing high water plaids and taped glasses. But whether students wore high fashion duds or just the “anything goes” attitude, they made their own personal statements and put across uniqueness that everyone liked to see. As a lead-fashion contemporary, Jeremy Gar- rett said, “I think clothing ex- presses a person’s personal- ity.” Right: Looking like they are coming straight out of Vogue magazine, Heidi Staudenmeyer and Blaine Martin model hot styles of leather and suspenders.

Faced with the problem of graffiti on desks, they decided to strike out and take control of the situation with strong courage, determination, and big erasers. Their long range goal was to clean up the Sophomores school for the future Beaver Scholars. They added an extra enthusiasm to our assemblies when they orginated their new “Soph-more” chant. The Sophomores have a lot to look for- ward to: bigger lockers, more responsi- bility, and a new place to sit in the audi- torium.

Whether students were driv- ing around, studying, or just relaxing, music was heard. Everyone listens to their own favorite group. For heavy metal, most preferred Van Halen or Bon Jovi. Others enjoyed rap music which just became popular this year and was performed by groups such as Run D.M.C. and the rebel band The Beastie Boys. Even more popular than these types of music was pop rock and singers like Ma- donna and Bruce Spring- steen. One activity that students participated in was going to concerts. About the Van Ha- len concert in Pocatello, Ida- ho, Cinamon Romers said, “Sammy Hagar rocked that place.” William Leslie Samuel Schuller Cathy Jennifer Stewart Swetish Chris Don Wilke Williams Daniel Rickey Tina Shirt 8 Shelley Thompson Eric Wolf Shawna Romers David Simms Brenda Wagner Danny Woodard Jason Rorahaugh Cheryl Staley Kirsten Watrud Glen Woodward Colleen Glenn Rose Salmonsen Sheila Lisa Staudenmeyer Stevens Travis Kristy White Wigen “With all the excitement going on, it could have been just as good without the fire, but with it, the football spirit was complete.” commented Sue Ankeny about the Bonfire.

It was a tough com- Ablaze petition, but the upperclassman once again pulled out a victory leaving Scott Andersen with a pie in the face. After- wards, the crowd linked arms in a wild game of “whiplash”.

And find out the winner of the hall decorations. The Freshmen’s theme was good with the Sophomores following up close behind. “A Disney Christmas” seemed to be a fa- vorite, but the Juniors trailed a little bit behind the Seniors Jungle Christmas. The lip sync added new variety along with the Student Council’s creative poems which includ- ed awards to the faculty. Awards such as “Cuddles” given to Rick Cadieux, “Willie” given to Russ Fisk, and the “Best Smile” given to Jackie Overton did bright- -ing en everyone’s Christmas. A Rock-n-Roll Christmas was this year’s theme. “I liked this year’s theme and the lip sync because everyone participat- ed,” said Marla Noack. Swinging from a rope, surfing on an ironing board, and walking like an Egyptian were all part of the action. “Leader of the Pack” performed by the Sophomores won the con- test. Santa Claus, David Thompson, and his two help- ful elves appeared to liven up the audience with bad jokes and funny actions. “It was the best Christmas Assembly that I’ve ever seen,” claimed Faye Brown, an excited Soph- omore. “It was one of the best Assemblies of the year!” Vital Signs 37 V -V 38 Freshmen Jason Donnelly Kim Giddis Donna Hildreth Shari Kalsta Jamie Ellis Gerald Goody Koy Holland Elsie Kenyon Richard Ferris Casey Gordon Mike Hyde Dan Kimzey Robyn Foster Kymberly Hagerty Susan Johnson Kori Lawson Tom Galipeau Nicole Hansel Rick Johnston Joyce Lindroth Jolaina Gallant Jennifer Henson Brady Jones Freshman Class Officers: Tory Taylor, president; Susan John- son, Casey Gordenf and Shawn Al- len.

On Saturday, April 18, these 20 people boarded the plane with high expectations for the events in store. Vince Pierce related this story, “One night Mr. Cadieux and I ventured to climb the Eifle Tower. We went up as far as the elevator would go, and we still ended up walking six miles.” “I had a super time and saw everthing the Notre Dame Cathedral was an eye opener. I’d do it again in a minute,” remarked Brenda Marchesseault. Paul Brienza seemed to be the hero in Lon- don. He gave away Montana National Guard pencils to palace guards to pose for a picture. Getting into the Hard Rock Cafe in London was easy. He just gave them a pencil, too. Going to Europe was a new experience for BCHS.

Before becoming the principal of our school, Mr. Kim- zey was the principal in the Columbia Falls school system which has an enrollment of 2500 students. “It’s a big change, but I like the amount of students we have to work with here better. I can talk to more of them one on one,” said Mr. Kimzey. Mr. Kimzey is a firm believer in positive attitudes and school spirit. “School spirit is a very important thing, it helps everyone get involved in school activi- ties,” he said. He is also interested in a more varied curriculum in which students can work at their own level. Believing that a high school education is a very impor- tant part of life, Mr. Kimzey tries to help kids who are thinking of dropping out. “High school helps you prepare for the real world.” Mr. Kimzey says the reason that he is so comfortable here is the fact that the students and his administra- tive staff accepted him so quickly. In his first year, M r. Kimzey was judged a success by the student body of B.C.H.S. Mr. Ankeny has taught for 16 years, five of which were at the Jr. High teaching such things as Journalism, English, History, Economics, Physical Education and Geography. He then advanced to the high school system teaching Government and U.S. History for the first years and 5 periods of Govern- ment for the other 9 years. After that, Mr. Ankeny became vice-principal of our school; he has held this position for 16 years. With 32 years of working with kids under his belt, he hopes to retire to the Bitterroot Valley where he owns a 12 Vi acre area near Victor. He regrets retiring so soon, but it’s just a question of his health. “I wish my successor the best of luck, I will always be a loyal fan of the Beavers!” Keeping order and discipline throughout BCHS, Mr. Ankeny prepares for a long day.

Some tried for athletic, organization, and activity honors, but Academic achievement was the root of it all. The requirements such as English, Math, Social Studies and Advanced Sciences created such a struggle that students had to question their priorities: school work or fun. Since most educa- tion is based on this knowledge, it was very important. Health and P.E. were a great release of tension from the daily grind. Learning skills such as archery, badminton, and golf opened up new challenges for students. Those inclined in the Fine Arts department found Music, Choir, Art, and Drama stimulating. They were a nice change of action and tune from the daily routine of an ordinary school day, and the perfect chance to expand some real talent. Vocational Education, Yearbook, and Journalism attracted those who took a liking to hobbies such as writing, cooking, and shop work. The Academic area created many opportunities for those who were willing to work, build, and expand, whether it be structures or knowledge.

Finely Tuned and highly noted With all the activities going on throughout the year, BCHS bands were kept more than busy. Pep Band members played at all the home basketball games and played at Kalispell for Girls’ Divisionals and Butte for both Boy’s Divisionals and state tourna- ments. In February, the varsity band, Sophomores, Ju- niors, and Seniors, traveled to Missoula for a con- cert band festival. Later in March, Belgrade put on a clinic for the Belgrade, Dillon, Whitehall, Mann- hatten and Big Timber bands. Yet, somehow, they still found time to perform at home. A number of concerts was put on during the year for the public including the annual Fall, Christmas, and Spring concerts. April 2, 3, and 4, brought them to District Music Festival. Mass bands were judged in Butte, and Anaconda was the site for solos, duets, ensembles, and piano solos. Those with superior ratings, ex- cluding the symphonic band, advanced on to state held at the University of Montana. Receiving an- other superior for their performances are Mike Warner, Dezerene Hegsted, Lance Hilton, Trista Taylor, Carmela Brienza, Kathey Rebish, and Todd Eberline.

Dividing the choir into Men’s Chorus, Girl’s Chorus and Teen Tones proved to be a suc- cessful move on Mr. Leonard Ostwalt’s part. This was the first year Teen Tones met separately and as a class. The choirs started the year with the annual Fall concert and followed it with a Christmas per- formance for the public and a special Christmas concert for the elementary school, all in preparation for the music festival later in the year. In April, Poison’s choir stopped in Dillon for a joint vocal concert with BCHS. For their Spring concert a Dis- ney presentation was given and at the end of the year, the Seniors and the Men’s Ensemble sang for graduation. District Music Festival, also in April, was a time to show off their talents. In Butte all three groups combined to get a superior rating. Solos, duets, and ensembles sang in Anaconda the next day. Vocal entries who received superiors at District went on to State Music Festival in Missoula on May 1, and 2. Receiving superiors were: Kirsten Wilker- son-solo, Linda Nelson-solo, Cindi Pierce-duet with Nelson, Tom Dooling and Dan Hoggatt-duet, and Jeremy Garrett, Mike Warner, David Thomp- son, Jim Hansen, Dooling, Hoggatt, Andy Schio- pen and Josh Sims-Men’s Ensemble.

Most of the graditude should go to Mrs. Elizabeth Rebish, though. This was her second full year at BCHS. What has she been doing? “She is trying to get the school more involved in art, she wants to create more interest,” Jody Everitt, a senior, said. First year art students are required to take Art Fundamen- tals. Here is where the basics of art are learned. Stu- dents studied shape and color tone then applied their i talents. Advanced Art worked on the same principles but, instead of learning them, they built on them. Next is Painting and Graphics. Different techniques, such as ink and color pencils, were incorporated together to make one picture. They also tried a new technique, the air brush. Using alcohol based paint, the possibilities were endless. Finally, after all that, a ceramics course was offered as a way to spend artistic time in a differ- ent manner. Faye Brown described art classes as “good leisure time. We get work done but we are not rushed. Every- one thinks it is just an easy ‘A’ for anyone wanting one, but we do work hard.” I ...I Vital Signs 55 V Highway to Tomorrow Although preparing for college was not the easiest task for our seniors, many courses and helpful teachers prepared us for the upcoming college years. Classes such as Honor’s English, Advanced Life Science, and Advanced Chemistry were all be- ginning roads into college life and maturity. Mr. Cadieux taught an informative class dealing with literature ideals. Using lessons he learned after tak- ing a recent class at Western Montana College, he enabled the nineteen seniors who enrolled in his class to experience a difficult phase of school work. Honor’s English prepared them to use their unlim- ited abilities in areas such as speech making and character portrayals. One requirement for the class was to portray an evil character by telling the char- acter’s background and acting out a famous scene of that character’s life. One scene required the switch- ing of clothes with red flannels under, of course, while in jail trying to break out. This was demon- strated by Kipp Cosgriffe and Cinamon Romers. Another act, done by Beverly Glennon, was to stuff cotton into her mouth and talk like the Godfather. This taught the students to be original actors. With this in mind, Shannon Kalsta used her Spanish speaking ability to portray the charac- ter Pancho Villa, a Spanish army captain. With this and many other classes, we learned the basic principles of college courses.

V 58 College Prep The Big Time With difficult college years ahead, BCHS seniors worked to fulfill the requirements to be accepted into colleges around the world. Even though it in- volved traveling to Butte, taking the ACT or SAT was one of the requirements. Students found them- selves answering a wide range of questions, filling in little boxes for a number of hours. With this out of the way, seniors enrolled in a vari- ety of college preparatory classes. Two of these fa- vorites are Advanced Chemistry and Advanced Life Science. They offered a small number of seniors the road to the world of molecules and live organisms. The Advanced Life Science class spent some time disecting a heart and an eye. In Advanced Chemistry, students had fun making what they called “moonshine”. Heidi Staudenmeyer said, “It was easier to un- derstand than Chemistry. The things we learned were a lot more interesting. I wish it was offered a full year because it would be very beneficial for those who wish to futher their education and it is very useful for ACT and SAT tests.” Although college prep, classes can be a bit more challenging, they do help most students discover a small fraction of what the big world of college is all about and make the way a little smoother. Kathy Hicks, Glen Sal- monsen, and Jennifer Jones listen to the wis- dom of Mr. Wolf in Ge- ometry class. Seniors Craig Pozega, Scott Andersen, and Nels Nelson check out some college prospects.

You learn skills that directly involve the outside world such as carpentry and working with some machines. It’s a very enjoyable class and fairly easy. I’d rather be in shop than in a classroom.” In Vo-Ag, where learning the aspects of agriculture is vital to our future, tomorrow’s providers were shown by Mr. Wayne Gilman the specific points of animal judging and worked with machinery and welding.

Vocational classes aren’t only for the ca- reer seekers. Home Economics with Mrs. Helen Christiansen help students in everyday life. Bud- gets will have to be stretched and dinners prepared, so knowing their way around a grocery store and kitchen will work to their advantage. With Mr. Terry Thomas teaching typing, stu- dents learned the easiest way to go about it. After all, typing isn’t just a secretary’s job. Industrial Arts is a wood shop course taught by Mr. Mel Rice. Making the most from a plain piece of Class-ical Fitness With the fitness craze here, the school is doing its best to keep up with it, so, in order to graduate, students have been required to pass P.E. I and II as Freshmen and Sophomores. Girls’ P.E. is taught by Miss Carol Dickinson. Besides the dreaded physical fitness test, which includes those thirteen long laps, Freshmen learned sports like volleyball and golf. Mr. Craig Johnson had his hands full with Boys’ P.E. Freshmen were introduced to the painful one mile run, soccer, football, and other guys’ sports. Freshmen are also required to take a full year of Health, which is also taught by Miss Dickinson T and Mr. Johnson. The use of drugs and alcohol, and mental illnesses was thoroughly discussed in both classes. Along with the basics of their frosh year, both girls and boys in P.E. II trekked up to the college for a unit of swimming one month and racquetball the next. The girls also had two weeks of first aid where they practiced emergency situations and learned rescue breathing. Opinions were divided between those who liked P.E. and those who could do with- out it. Sheila Staudenmeyer said, “I really like the things we did but I didn’t like having it every day.” 62 P.E. and Health Listening intently to one of Miss Dickinson’s spell- binding lectures is Rena Schisler, Tera Stewart, and Jo- die Oswald.

During the Yearbook’s Best camp which was held in Logan, Utah, these five members discovered what being at the top of the yearbook staff was all about. “Being a staff member is a position of much responsibility. You must have the time available. Once you fall behind it’s hard to catch up, especially when you have other homework to do,” remarked Heidi Staudenmeyer. Jeremy I Garrett said, “It’s a very demanding class. It re- quires a person’s total dedication. It’s not a good class for someone who only wants to have fun.” Newspaper is a different world compared to year- book. You must fulfill deadlines every week. Past- ing up seems to be one of the most difficult things to do. Editor of the Beaver, Julia Marchesseault, said, “I am very pleased with the Beaver this year. We’ve had a lot of changes in the staff, but all of the changes have been for the better. I think that the newspaper is very good quality thanks to the efforts of the editors and staff.” Student Aides 65 -V Filing for 1 I future reference With many responsibilities and hours of hard work, a few students were allowed to assist the staff. Stu- dents chose either to work in the library or the office, each having it’s own set of duties. The library aids worked closely with librarian Bob MacDonald checking in books, checking out books, and keeping the library quiet. During the hectic time that students worked on their research papers, library assistants also helped them collect informa tion from the various magazines that were available in the library. The office aids worked hard assisting secretaries Karen Christiansen and Julie Krause. This hand- ful of responsibility included the daily routine of collecting attendance slips from the classrooms, an- swering phone calls, and running off copies. In addi- tion, they ran various errands for the staff and ad- ministration. One office aid, Michele Garrett said of her duties, “It was an experience that helped me meet a lot of people.” Rachelle Berberia tries to catch up on her office work with a smile.

It was actively par- ticipating in clubs and organi- zations that added the pizazz. Being in clubs and organiza- tions gave students a chance to show their spirit, enthusiasm, and committment to the school. Creative minds worked togeth- er to come up with creative ideas. . . like the Hawaiian Day. For cheerleading, it was a trial year for another new system to be carried out in the years to come. For regular organiza- tions it was a fresh start for business as usual, with tradi- tional activities such as Key Club and S-Club tree sales. For some it was rebirth of activ- ity. After 3 years, Ski Club was again recognized as a club. En- thusiasm was great and partici- pation high. Membership raised as high as 65 members.

Ka- ren Jonasen’s reaction to being chosen: “I was ecstatic, really excited, it’s an accom- plishment”. Margie McGinley stated, “I was really happy because it was my senior year, it was an honor”. The girls supported the teams by decorat- ing the buses and baking cakes for special games. The Beaver Dam, although they weren’t organized until near the end of the year, contributed to raising the crowd’s spirit and accompanied the cheerleaders to Boys Basketball Divisionals in Butte and served as partners for the girls.

We sold most of our painter’s caps and all of our jerseys.” Mr. Stubbs went on to say, “Better scheduling and the fact that we played better teams attracted larger crowds, which attributed to the amount of money we made.” The one difference between this year’s and other year’s Pep Club is that there are no boys. When asked about this, Mr. Stubbs replied, “Having no boys is a drawback, but we need a bigger membership in general.” When wrestling season began, Mat Maids dedicated themselves to the sport. Among their responsiblities were keeping score and time, informing referees of time, and helping coaches and managers prepare for tournaments.

Fancy W t would be nice to be able to C wear shorts, but it’s not as ■ big of a deal as everybody makes it,” were the thoughts of Trista Taylor, president of the ’87 Stu- dent Council. The Student Council doesn’t have as much to do with rule changing as we are led to believe. They have a meeting, make a decision, draw up plans, and submit them to the administration. The handbook meetings are held annually, but if the prob- lem is serious enough they call a special meeting to order. Our Student Council members searched far and wide for knowledge. They had a state convention in Great Falls. Kevin Donovan, Trista Taylor, and John Wilkerson went to Salt Lake City in their quest. Just a bunch of stiffs is the misconception concerning Honor Society. It does take a 3.2 G.P.A. to be asked to join and you must maintain that G.P.A., but it is an interest- ing club. With fun activities like the “Life’s a Beach” dance and “Hush Day” for Thanksgiving, under their belt, Honor So- ciety has meetings like other clubs, but they cover different issues. “Most people get into Honor Society to get a star by their name on their diploma but I think it’s a pretty prestigeous honor,” said Trista Tay- lor.

Among these are completing a CPR class, attend- ing about 60 hours of first aid classes, along with passing a written and a practical test pertaining to the first aid course, and on the hill training. They also attended a three day seminar in Red Lodge that helped to improve their skills - on the hill and off. After achieving their goals, the members must also take a refresher course in first aid and on the hill every year. Even though they dedicated themselves, the members were not able to patrol the slopes this year. As Leslie Schuller put it, “We spent most of our time training to be on it and it takes a lot of work”. Qualifications for Ski Instructors were not as tough as for Ski Patrol. They attended a clinic and learned procedures for lift evacuation. As instructors they worked with the Jaycees and also gave private lessons.

Aggressive play wasn’t enough as they posted a 4-7 record. “Everybody played hard and we have fun,” said Coach McNally. Coach Stout said, “I feel our seasonal high point was the way they played to- gether as friends.” With the loss of only two varsity players, the competition should be tough for vacant varsity spots.

October was a busy month sporting two of the festivities; Homecoming and Hallow- een. November was the month of Rainbow Formal. The largest money maker all year was December; even though it was a record dance, the Lip-Sync Contest proved to be a big hit. S-Club and Key Club held the Sweetheart Dance for February and com- puter dating hit BCHS in March. Of course, the big event of the year was held on April 4: Junior Prom. All but three of the dances featured live bands, even though they range in price from $400-$900 per night. Mr. Norm Stubbs commented that the chance of mak- ing a profit with a band is very slim. He also stated two ways of making a dance success- ful: 1. Hold it on a Saturday night, other- wise there is a conflict with sports, training rules, etc. 2. Hold it on a special event (La- bor Day, Halloween). Heaven in Your Eyes, by Loverboy was the theme of Rainbow Formal, with the decor colors as blue, magenta, and white.

When comparing this year’s fights with previous years, sports enthusiast Eric Wolf com- mented, “There wasn’t as high a quality of fights this year as compared to last year, but some of the frosh showed me they could hit.” One of the fights, Jason Carroll vs. Scott Ford, was stopped in the first round by the referee, who felt that neither was Tuff Enough obeying ring instructions. Eric Wolf com- mented, “I thought stopping the Carroll vs. Ford fight was a big mistake.

An- other year rolled around. Everyone awaited the ar- rival of the yearbook to recall last year's memo- ries. But most never stopped to wonder where it all came from. Without all the help and support from the community, Yearbook staff, and stu- dent body, it wouldn't ex- ist. Staff members took valu- able time outside of school to sell advertising space in the book to local busin- esses. In class, signs were made to sell the book to the students. As a class in- centive, the class with the highest percentage of book purchases earned the right to have their class page printed in spot color for the Yearbook. Freshmen were the lucky winners. One-third of the proceeds for the $10,000 book came from advertisment sales to businesses and almost half of the proceeds de- rived from sales to stu- dents. The staff struggled to meet deadlines so the book could be high stan- dard no one would forget. Business Manager Ali- son Damon lets her fin- gers to the typing of her ad information to be sent out to rural busin- esses.

From the day they enter BCHS to the day they leave, they have Away Home a new part time home: their lockers. They use these “homes” about 10 times a day for 181 days out of the year. Lockers symbolize the attitudes of the students. They tell who is wild or crazy, messy or neat. As proud as a new home owner, Tracy Lewis displays her locker in Junior hall.

A Teacher’s Job Is Never Done 6:30 rolled around, the house was ti- died up, breakfasts were made, and the kids were off to school; so were the teachers. By 8:15 our teachers were ready for the new day ahead. 8:35— classes begin. 1st period was welcomed by a series of yawns from both the students and the teachers. If they were lucky, their prep-period came before lunch; if not they suf- fered until noon. By 12:10 they were all ready for a break. In the afternoon, the mellow atmo- sphere lifted. Only three more hours left. At 4:00 the school emptied of most students, and some very lucky teach- ers. While some got to go home and prepare for the next day, others were still hard at work, being somebody’s coach, or correcting papers, or pre- paring lessons. J.C.

Mother comes in and flips open the shades and yells, “Get out of bed!” Most arrive at school at about 8:25. Classes start at 8:35. First period brings a day of classes, homework ana the usual goofing off in the halls. Lunch involves a healthy, four course meal, and the last period of the day brings the knowledge of a hard prac- tice ahead. Practices last from one and a half hours to two and a half. After a grueling practice, they head home to finish homework and get ready for the next school day. At last they fall into an exhausted sleep, about 16 to 18 hours after the day began. Practicing to be the best she can be during volley- ball season, Kathy Young is an example of the re- sults of long hours of hard work. PAUL’S MOTOR COMPANY INC.

We all know how it is when we have a problem - it may be big, it may be small, but how do we get around it? Excuses. They’re the most common defense ma- chanism used. Oh, the trouble one can get in when they lose their English book. The most common excuse is “My dog ate it,” or, “I dropped it in a pud- dle.” They come in very handy for those little problems, but when used too often they can be more disasterous than helpful.

All Montana colleges require the ACT so, before most of the year is up, all seniors planning on college have taken it. Those wishing to get a bit of variation in their lives took the SAT to attend out of state schools. This year, 10 took the SAT and 60 toughed it out for the ACT. Colleges use these tests as a way to determine scholastic abilities. They are more reliable than just grades be- cause of different standards with dif- ferent schools. Although they are dif- ficult tests, they can be used for ap- propriate course placement and, sometimes, officials award scholar- ships based on ACT and SAT scores. Studying hard for his ACT test is Travis Eva.
