Big Sandy High School - Pioneer Yearbook (Big Sandy, MT)

All of us accomplished our journey - that is, from the grade school to the high school. Our teachers and some of us had a few doubts, through. One big change that we didn't need any getting used to was that now we could talk in the halls. Last year it was forbidden. Moving from room to room was quite hectic at first. Teachers would tell us to travel to a room number that was the wrong room. We were told we had a class on one day, and the teacher would explain to us that we had that class tomorrow or the next day but not today. A few seventh graders share the comment, They whip you harder over here. The high school was expecting twenty-three students, but It waj hit with a shocking thirty pupils. People were coming and going as if moving was going out of style. Now there are only twenty-seven of us. Who knows for how long? The carnival was a close call. We almost didn't have a booth, the coatrack. One reason was we didn't have any pipes to hang coats on. That situation started us sweating, but when we had just about given up a student and our sponsor rushed away in a pickup. To our relief, they came back with some pipes. Another close call was with our cake raffle. We were about to give up hope of the cake coming because it was already nine o'clock. A few minutes later we were relieved when the cake finally showed up. In one of our more exciting boys basketball games, the score was tied at thirty-two at the end of the fourth quarter. We were up against Harlem, a rather good team. The game went into a two minute overtime. When the score was tied at thirty-six, coach Lackner became upset at the refs. One technical was called then another at the coach. Harlem made three out of the four shots and beat us thirty-nine to thirty-six. In case you were wondering, our record was one win and eleven losses. There were only five seventh grade girls basketball players this year, so they played on the eighth grade team. This combined team had a record of eleven wins and two losses. Also, just seventh graders played a fifth quarter afterwards against other seventh grade girls. They won about half of their fifth quarter games. Their coach, Mr. Mehlhoff, summed it up with, The seventh graders were mostly in it for experience, but is is a year that has been fun and exciting.'' We seventh graders are glad to be a part of the Big Sandy High School, and we hope to be a part of it until we graduate. This is a year we will cherish forever. -Tom Barthkoske Physical fitness is Gary Berg's major aim as he concentrates on this P.E. exercise.
