Kurt Carlson is not well known around the state but Missoula golf enthusiasts know know him quite well. Carlson after two years of steadily moving himself upward in the state s rankings advanc- ed into the 1983 State AA toumey looking to place in the midst of the 96-competitor field. The out- come of the tournament brought Carlson to an impressive 12th place finish. Carlson s senior year started out much dif- ferently from previous years when he found himself atop contender for the State AA title even in the early part of the season. Carlson got a slow start on golf because of his role as a top sub on the Eagle basketball team, but was expected to advance quickly. At the time of the yearbook deadline, results were not available for 1984, but one thing is sure. Carlson ranks as one ofthe outstanding Big Sky athletes of the year. riiiittttitttttti''ki ki't'k'k'k'k'ki ktt'ki'1k'kiri k'k1 f rtt . r ' A P . ..., , ..... .t., . , it at Big .., f.- .

This year was certainly one of Rays finest years in football. He was the only player to start on offense and defense for the Eagles. That turn- ed out to be beneficial for the team. Flay was honored for being the most valuble offensive lineman and was an honorary captain. Besides winning those two awards he was also awarded second team All-State, as a guard, and second team All-Conference, as a defensive tackle and nose guard. Ftay's football career will not end this year. He has been offered many scholarships from local Montana colleges, finally selecting The Universi- ty of Montana on one of his scholarship offers. Not only did Ray wow his opponents on the football field, he ovenfvhelmed his foes in the heavyweight class in Montana wrestling. Ray lost only one match all year, and eventually claimed the state AA title. ig Sky students who hear the name Glenn Jarrett think immediately of one sport w re st I i n g Jarretts four year dedication as one of the state s premier wrestlers has made him known risty Flink's main objective throughout her four years of high school was to take the all-around divisional and state titles in girls' gymnastics for the 1984 season.
