Hit deadline, and roll the press. Sounds easy. But for this year's Sunrise and Sun Joumal staifs it was a tough, sometimes seemingly im- possible task. Both staifs set high goals and work- ed long hours after school to get them done. But deadlines proved to be the major hurdle in doing the job right. Each staff had a tradition to uphold. The Sun Joumal, Big Sky's paper has established itself as a highly reknowned paper. So tar the Sun Joumal has been named a National Scholastic Press Association 5-Star All-American and a Quill and Scroll George Gallup award winner three times during the four years Big Sky High has been a school. The Sun Joumal is expected to come out with the paper every two weeks. Senior Amber Underhill, Sun Jour- nal Editor-in-Chief said that she has extremely high hopes for her staif and added that she feels that the Sun Joumal has the potential to be one of the top 25 high school papers in the country. I feel our staif did quite well at overcoming the tough times and pro- duced a fantastic product, said Underhill. The Stm Joumal has to report on the good times and the bad times dealing with current events or plans for the future at the school. The paper printed articles that ranged from the shooting of a local sherrif ohicer to the latest fashions in clothing. The paper's variety is as wide-ranging as it is specific. Another tradition that is upheld, is by Big Sky's yearbook, the Sunnse. The Sunrise is produced yearly by students in the yearbook class, What I expect and what I hope are two different things I want both from the Sun Joumal and the Sunrise staffs, I hope that my students will strive to do the best that they can. If they do the best that they can then it is always a pleasure to see the acheivementj' said Glenn Junkert, who advises both staffs. The yearbook staff met several times during the summer and decis- ed that the school would be reaching for new goals during the year. So the theme, Reach for the Big Sky emerged. This year the Sunrise was printed by a new company and went one size larger, from 8V2 by IO inches to 9 by I2 inches.

LOOKiI1Q to a career in business is common among Big Sky students. Many who are members of the Distributive Education Club of America IDECAJ and Key Club are doing just that. Students who belong to DECA Club learn the basic skills of working in and with business. Members work in the school store to. develop resposibility and also help the community. said one club member. DECA is a national organization. Big Sky students this year this year attended a national DECA seminar in Seattle for four days. lt was neat and a lot of fun. said senior member Tamie Boueher. Deca also. for its third year in a row, adopted a needy Missoula family for Christmas. We supply their Christmas for them said Deca President Launie Burgess. The club spends approximately 8500.00 each year on the farnilies. providing the Christmas tree, dinner, and presents under the tree. Deca comes in handy in the spirit department too. they sell articles with the Big Sky logos printed on them such as hats, folders, pencils, and banners. All can be found in the DECA store. Key Club works with Missoula businesses as a high school branch of the Missoula Kiwanis Clubs. It is fill- ed with individuals helping out with various projects to help raise money for the community organizations. Sponsoring the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance is Key Club's main fund-raiser. Part of the funds from the dance were used to adopt a needy family for Christrnas. This year they were able to raise 3250. This years president, Gary Englert emphasized the importance of Key Club by saying, It fKey Clubl helps people get involved through Key Club to help people in the Missoula Community. Key Club members also take tums refereeing Kiwanis youth basketball games. Grade school students from around Missoula play on intramural teams on weekday evenings in many Missoula area schools. At any night Big Sky Key Clubbers can be found blowing the whistle as a service to the kids. For students in DECA and Key Club their work is a process of learn' ing about a BUSINESS FUTURE ee' Career clubs invest in community .. W
