In ers struck local operations of Peter June, the striking miners agreed to Kewit. The Company permitted return to work unconditionally, but few have been rehired. Stock Market Crash Some investors feared a repeat of the Great Depression when the Stock Mar- ket crashed in October, bringing back memories of 1929. Though it set many records for numbers of shares traded and the points lost, the market has remained stable since spring.

He was accused of us- ing his influence to launder money and ship drugs to the United States. The CIA was said to have paid him for several years. See Iran-Contra. 9 w . f ■ O , 'T r, W ■ ? ?

Oliver North and other National Security Council staff in the sale of arms to Iran; the profits of the sales were used to aid the Contras fighting the government of Nicaragua. Col. North was praised of Ollie North ted and will stand trial, by many as a patriot, and condem- ned by others as a symbol of secre- tive dealings by government officials in general, and dealing with Iran, a country the U.S. condemned as ter- rorist.

My favorite songs were: My favorite musicians groups were: My favorite movies were: My favorite movie star was: My favorite hangout was: Fads and Fashions Fads and Fashions Fads a Someone made these old and worn jeans into originals. Old tenny shoes and tee shirts were written on. Friends signatures, favorite beverages, one’s class number, favorite sayings were popular. At the beginning and end of school, shorts, tee shirts, sunglasses and tenny shoes were a common sight. Tempera- tures were unbearable in school when the weather was warm, causing considerable difficulty for teachers trying to instruct and students wanting needing to learn. Mary Lassiter and Vicki DeTavernier (right) enjoyed the nice weather last fall. Other fads and fashions common and popular with stu- dents in school were: Wrangler jeans, Reebok shoes, Levis, bleached or acid-washed jeans, Coca-Cola clothes, Swatch watches and clothes, Guess jeans. Esprit, Bennelton, OP, T C, rolled-up pant legs, designer socks, patches on jackets, Levi Jackets, desinger boots, loafers, and hightops (unlaced, of course!). 8 Fads and Fashions Fads and Fashions Fa 9 Is and Fads and Fashions Fads and Fashions d Fashions Fads and Fashions Fads and A statement everyone can make Fads and Fashions — something everyone has or does to be “in” or unique. Everyone has a sytle — similar to or different from someone else. We all like to look good, and what one per- son thinks is comfortable, classy, dressy, or casual, someone else may disagree. That is what fads and fashions are all about. They go together is your own way, and bring out your personality. Next time you see someone, focus on what he or she is wearing and you might learn something about the personality and style of wearer. Tami Schrater and Christy Holder show their style by wearing “the guys’” jerseys. Many girls wear the jerseys for school spirit, while others wear them for fashion. Who knows, maybe the guys will start wearing the girls’ volleyball shirts, or something ... Sorry guys, you’re not in style. Jay Cook (above) wears the old-fashioned granny glasses that came back this year, while Dale Beeson (left) wears leather and shades and spikes his hair to express his “cool” image. Homecoming crowd braves early snow to witness victory over Red Devils Reher, Higley lead royalty A week of festivities in shorts-and- tee-shirts weather prepared the students for the 1988 Homecoming, but they awoke on game day to grey skies and 6 inches of wet SNOW! But, thanks to Ray Simegson and his crew, we played the game victoriously on a cleared field. Attempts by students at dressing as “Flower Children” brought back memo- ries to the faculty, who joined in as well. We had faculty clowns, seniors in togas, and camera-laden tourists. The week’s activities concluded with the annual tug- of-war, won, after considerable effort, by the class of 88. The cafeteria was the site of the homecoming dance, held in celebration of the shutout of the Hulett Red Devils, 27-0. Nicole assists Brenda with some minor adjust- ments in costuming. Seniors chose togas for their class-choice dress. The class of ’91 chal- lenged the seniors ...

The girls were treated (?) — Brrrr — to a convertible ride courtesy of Brenda Hoffman. Bundled-up supporters of the Rams cheer them on to victory in the cold. Would you be- lieve that the tug- of-war (opposite page) was held the day before? Chad Robertson made a valliant effort in the chugging contest. 11 Conspirators Pamela (Brenda Hoffman), Lottie (Mary Lassiter) and Archie (George Neeson) -top- wonder whether bumbling hero Pharoah Nussbaum (Mark Kraft) will make it in from the front door.

Enter Pharoah Nussbaum The scene: The Thingummy Mansion, in the hills above Los Angeles. Mrs. Thin- gummy, archaeologist and recent widow, fears for her life. Pharoah Nussbaum, son of an old friend and currently police acad- emy locker-room towel boy, and friend po- licewoman Jane Holwell, are called on to find the someone or something that is out The Cast Kitty — Terra Achenbach, Moose — Tom Berry, Archie — George Neeson, Skimp — Brian Garber, Jane Holwell— Nicole Maguire, Mrs. Thingummy — Brandy Vandeventer, Lottie — Brenda Hoff- man, Pamela — Mary Lassiter, Pharoah Nuss- baum — Mark Kraft, Margo Lattimer — Dayna Baxter, Scoop — Craig Roberts, The Mummy — Jay Cook. to kill her. Pharoah and Jane question the family members, present following the tragic acci- dental death of Mr. Thingummy. Clue by clue, and murder by murder, Pharoah and Jane stumble and bumble to a conclusion, highlighted by Lottie's attempt, in utter frustration, to shoot Pharoah. Pharoah manages to grab the gun, and all is well. Pharoah, an unlikely hero, will be promot- ed, and the proud Jane plans to label the towels ‘His’ and ‘Hers . The able cast and crew were directed by Mrs. Rebecca Leibinger.

The newer buildings have a re- cent design and are not marble. As for the memorials, D.C. is known for its statues, monuments, and buildings. All are of great im- portance. Some of the more popu- lar ones are the Jefferson Memori- al, the Lincoln Memorial (bottom, left), the Washington Memorial and the Vietnam Memorial. The Vietnam Memorial (center, left) is the most visited memorial in Washington D.C. Also at the me- morial, there is one bronze statue (top, right) of three soldiers placed at one end of the park. Many people show their respect by leaving things that belonged to the loved ones, or flowers. 15 Passtimes and Hangouts Passtimes and Hang Travis Bourquin and Erin Johnson, an inseparable couple, spend their time together before school, be- tween classes, in class, at lunch, after school, ... Among the many passtimes and hangouts enjoyed by students are Burger King, reading, SuperAmerica, watching MTV and tv, going to concerts, horse- back riding, Dairy Queen, going to the show, cruising Main, talking on the phone, listening to the radio or tapes, and just hanging out with friends. Every person has a different idea of how to spend their spare time. Different groups of students have different han- gouts, although most of the students, when asked for a favorite, answered “Burger King.” When asked for a favorite passtime, many different ideas were expressed. No matter who you hang out with, someone will always have a different preference, and someone the same. People are not all alike — bravo! Tom Berry kicks back to relax and possibly catch some sleep, but keeps one eye open to re- main alert for Mr. Beibel. Practical jokes were known to be pulled on unsuspecting sleepers, even by teachers. 16 Passtimes and Hangouts Passtimes and Hang outs Passtimes and Hangouts Passtimes and Many students like to spend evenings and Saturdays during the year supporting school sports events. 17 outs Passtimes and Hangouts Passtimes and Mary Lassiter applied the last layer of nail polish be- fore the play “Enter Pharoah Nussbaum” began. Jennifer Gilstrap, who went to Pablo’s with the Spanish classes for a cul- tural field trip, samples one of the many different Mexican dishes ordered. Deanne Reher, a teacher’s aide for kindergarten, spent her time coloring handouts for the students or for decorations, in addition to correcting pa- pers. Prom was HOT IN THE CITY Right: Many couples enjoyed the soft music and slow dancing after dancing to previous Rock-n-Roll and Country music favorites. Mr. Berry points out problems with the streamers to Tom Hubbard, Gordie Peterson, Tom Berry and Dayna Baxter during prom decorating. Mary Lassiter waits for Wade Hoi well to hand an- other streamer up.

Cori Wagensen smiles as George Neeson removes her gar- ter during the garter ceremony. Some found this ceremo- ny embarrassing if parents watched. During the slow dances, couples exchange sweet and romantic thoughts. Tom Farr, Tom Hubbard, Tim Loomis, and Shawn Higley got together for “guy” talk during prom. Prom couples really got down and boogied to the rock-n-roll played by the Rock on Wheels DJ. Varieties of rock-n-roll and country music were played for all tastes.

After- wards, everyone was goofing around, swimming, ordering pizzas, and buying pop and candy bars. Senior sneak isn’t just a free day. It’s the last time the class is together to have fun. During sneak, the good times are remembered and people were saying, “Remember back in Elementary and Junior high when ...” Some thought that they would never be those big kids and would be looking back on all the memories made in the past. Now we won’t be coming back, we will be moving on With this, we are separated until we meet again. Therefore senior sneak is a memory to be made to last until we are al! reunited once again to remember those good ’ol high school days.

Not a day would go by without someone acting a little foolish or unusual, whether to cheer a friend up or just get a smile. But just as often someone would be cramming for a test or trying to accomplish some type of reading assignment. Some seniors took classes with more challenge, while other took classes just to get by. No matter what they decided to take, the seniors managed to have fun — and still learn. That’s all that seemed to matter. Scrap Book ’88 In the following pictures, stu- dents. teachers, parents and friends take part in many of the activities that Big Horn High School has to of- fer. Whether it involves sports, band, goofing around, or sharing time with special people, all these things make school what it is. In sports, the spirit was in everyone and many even went to the away games. The pep band, something that hasn't been a part of the school for some time, made the games and intermission more exciting; people would stand to dance or clap to the rhythm.

No matter what, a friend makes life, and even school, easier to handle. It’s simple — friends care. Miss Talbot, the band and choir teacher for the elementary school, middle school and high school, has taught for two years a RHHS. In those two years, the participation of students has multi plied in choir and hand. 1 his year was the first year in a long tim that there was a pep hand at the basketball games. It was also the first year that students could letter in choir and band. To let students had to rate well in competitions, participate in school con- certs. and have a good attendance record. Many students partici- pated and placed in the District Music Competition. Top Athletes Recognized The Year In Summary . ..

Regional and (State) performances: Sophomore-led girls team captures State track crown Boys squad only 2 points from second Scoring in every event, the Rams’ girls track team captured its first state championship by dominating the field in Casper. They racked up 122 points, nearly doubling the second-place total. Becky Barnes and Sam Moore scored in four events each, and Becky and Jennifer Gilstrap captured individual firsts to go with the 1600m relay team of Anna Hubbard, Jamie Vandeventer, Renea Heide and Christy Holder. Individual wins by Butch Dillon in the 3200m and George Neeson in the pole vault, combined with the victorious 3200m relay, led the boys the third place, a fine showing following the loss of several key performers from last year’s state championship team. The girls had no seniors and only one junior, which bodes well for a strong squad for the next two years. The boys loose the services of seniors Mark Kraft, Chad Quarterman, and Butch Dillon.

The turning point in the season came against Kaycee, when Erin Johnson served from 7-14 in the third game to win 16- 14. From that point, the Rams ‘began to play like a team, work- ing together and supporting each other,’ said first year coach Mr. Roberts.

A stirring come-from-behind victory in the Thunder Bowl, sparked by the ‘fumbleruski’ run of Shawn Higley, was the brightest spot in the topsy-turvy world of Ram football 1988. The underdog Rams fought back from two fourteen-point deficits behind the passing of George Neeson to capture the contest 35-28. The first contest of the season, against Riverside, saw the Rams struggle to a 45-45 tie in three overtime periods; the officials called the game at that point, not letting the teams decide a winner. From that point, the Rams alternately won and lost, to end the season with a 4-4-1 record, which included the Powder River Conference 1A crown with 2-0 mark. A 20-14 loss to Meeteetse in the Regional Championship matchup ended the season. All-State Quarterback George Neeson and a crop of receivers established sixteen new school and individual passing and receiving records. Joining George with All-State recognition were Shawn Higley, Richard Israel, Chad Quarterman, Tom Berry, and Wade Holwell, while Craig Roberts Steve Schrater, and Tom Hubbard garnered All- Conference honors. A wall of blockers held the Hulett Red Devils’ line at bay, allowing George Neeson to launch one of his 119 successful passes during the 1988 season, establishing a new record. .Am f Raising the traveling Thunder Bowl trophy in victory (top), Steve Schrater, Keith Roberts, Shawn Higley, Brian Farr, John Sturtz, and Robin Shire, celebrate the come-from-behind win.

The loss of two-year starter Suz- anne Macht took experience from the Ram back court, but Cori Wag- ensen (an All-Conference selection) and Emelyn Whiton took the reins to guide the team. Seniors Brenda Hoffman and Deanne Reher provid- ed solid anchors of experience, and All-State selection Jennifer Gilstrap led several statistical categories for the 15-6 Rams. “The win over Tongue River was the most exciting game of the season,” said Dea an All-Conference and All-Tournament (at State) se- lection, said. It was the first win in three years over the cross-district ri- val Eagles. Head coach Rich Macht was pleased with the results of the sea- son, which included a Powder River Conference Championship, and looks forward to the return of star- ters Jennifer and Cori and a strong contingent from the JV. Jennifer, who averaged nearly 21 points game for the season, fires over Ragle defenders. Cori, who led the team with 87 assists, turns to start down court on a fast break.

Craig Roberts (left) a junior guard, sinks the first of two free throws to finish the game. Coach Wells reaches 200-win plateau For the fourth time in the season, the Rams and Longhorns tangled, with the winner taking home the hardware from the tournament, and, thanks to some clutch free-throw shooting by guard Craig Roberts, Big Horn prevailed for the fourth time to give Coach Wells his 200th career coaching victory. With just 6 seconds left on the clock the Rams trailed by one. Confusion on the inbounds play left the ball in the hands of Craig, who drove to the basket and apparently scored to win the game. However, the official ruled that he had been fouled before the shot, erasing the basket. With no one else on the court, Craig sank both free-throws for the victory. Only local rivals Arvada-Clearmont and Tongue River seemed able to stop the Rams, who tied with A.C. for the Conference Championship and place second in the Regional Tournament to highlight a 15-7 season. The JV team compiled an even 8-8 record under coach Dan Beibel. 57 Cheerleaders rally support for BH teams Anna, Brandy, Staci, and Jennifer used for- mations like this to capture fan interest and support for the basketball teams. Jennifer let her gaze wander from the court during a Ram victory.

As a field, however fer- tile, cannot be fruitful without cultivation, nei- ther can a mind without learning.

To see it written well and hear it spoken well ... English and Spanish are the two most spoken lan- guages in the United States. There is more to these lan- guages than just speaking them though. To write in the language is sometimes as hard as speaking it. Words are sometimes closely related or sound the same but have different meanings. All of this is taught is school. If we didn’t have teachers to teach us the right and wrong way to write and speak, there would be many misunderstand- ings as to what is being said. So the next time you do an English or Spanish assignment, think of where we’d be if we didn’t have someone to teach the language right. Mr. Scherry kicks back to relax and settle into a good book during one of his classes.

Well, if not, possibly by next year the tab tower will contain one million tabs. At the end of this year, the tower had over 500,000 tabs. The tabs are from pop cans to the caps off of al- cohol bottles. The tower was started by Mrs. Merrill during the 1986-87 school year to let people actually see one million tabs. Hopefully the goal of one million will be reached in the 1988-89 school year. So save those tabs! Above: Official tab counters Patty Kelly and Craig Roberts and tab collectors.

The roots of the plants grew downward into the beakers, and be- came thicker in the beakers containing their preferred fertilizer — nitrogen. Mark, Nicole, Craig. Kevin, and Keith assemble data from an experiment on excelleration. Emelyn competed in 1987 as well, placing second in the district fair. Mark Kraft, who utilized a lazer in his prize-winning experiment last year, used it again in examining the world of holography. Junior student Wade Holwell test- ed snow fence designs in his project, examining both the direction of the slats and the angle a which the fence faced the wind. Craig Roberts built a small wind tunnel and examined the lift achieved on a discus compared to its angle of attack in flight. 65 Transition to electronics opens Computers add new dimension to learning From manual typewriters to electric, then on to dedicated word processors and computers, business classes have begun the transition to the modern electronic office. Mrs. Dvorak has introduced the use of Appleworks, an integrated program which contains word processing, data base, and spreadsheet modules, to a group of students during the first se- mester; the second semester saw a continuation of BASIC program- ming. In the future, typewriters may disappear from the typing lab, re- placed by computers and their mul- tiple uses. Accounting students will soon participate in computer appli- cations to their subject. Kris Loomis and Jeff Stephens receive special instruction in math from Babs Fenn. Jody Kob- ielusz, aide, assists in the background. The basic keyboarding skills learned by typing students may lead them to computer use, where data manipulation was taught through Appleworks. Typing class included Kim Stephens, Joe Baker, Debbie Reher, Brian DeTavernier, and Amber Averill; learning Appleworks were Jennifer Harms, John Sturtz, Jay Cook, Kris Loomis, Staci Dockery, and Staci Weigum. 66 new opportunities “Excellent in math”, says Babs Fenn of junior Jody Kobielusz, in her first year as an aide for the third period math class. Jody’s re- sponsibilities include not only correcting papers and recording grades, but setting up student activities and giv- ing individual assistance. Jody, who has had hors- es in her life “since I was born”, spends much of her spare time riding and work- ing with two of her own, as well as those on local ranches. In two months this year she read most of the Black Stallion series (20 books), as well as Robin McKinley’s fantasy series. Rebecca Dvorak Babs Fenn Typing I: Develop typewriting knowledge and skills through practical laboratory experience. Accounting I: Procedures, forms, and reports of the ac- counting cycle, recording daily transactions in service and mer- chandising businesses.

STATE I-A GIRLS BASKETBALL CHAMPS 1985 STATE I-A BOYS trace CHAMPS 1987 Creative expression Flows in arts Classes New equipment and techniques Highlight drafting classes Though pencil and paper drafting is still in use throughout the design industry, Big Horn students are getting a first peek at CAD — the world of Computer Assisted Drafting. Following completion of Basic Drafting, where design prin- ciples and techniques are introduced, advanced students have the option of continuing in Com- puter Drafting. Drawings are created on the computer and printed using a plotter. Tina Jew- ell and Erin Johnson (below, left)use the CAD and standard techniques. Using the computer permits a more self- paced approach to drafting problems, and the ease of doing certain tasks, both specialized and repetative, on the CAD system speeds produc- tion over manual methods. As more systems are integrated into indus- try, CAD skills will be in greater demand. 69 Design study — Noel Rader Life skills Preparation for success Laughter in the car ... how we survived Driver’s Education was full of laughs the past year. For instance, during one particular outing, our teacher (Mr. Macht) mistook a lady walking along the road for someone he knew. He rolled down the window and started to say something when he realized that it was not. He quickly rolled up the window and told the driver to pro- cede. The tension during the first couple of times of driving can be nerve racking especially when you know you are being graded. But just remember, everyone makes mistakes and those mistakes make some wild and crazy stories that are embarrassing to everyone, even the teacher! -Amy Vandersloot, Carissa Winter Monica Klenda Rich Macht Foods and Nutrition: A study of nutrition and its effects on hu- man behavior and health, and gaining knowledge to plan, pre- pare and serve foods that are eco- nomical, pleasing, and nutrition- aly sound.
