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.

FOCUSihg.... their sights and minds upon intema- tional affairs is what Big Sky students active in Model United Nations. Ger- man Club and Intemational Club en- joy most. With Model United Nations IMUNJ students study how to solve today's intemational problems. The other two clubs strive to become more familiar with foreign cultures. MUN convenes in a yearly caucus on the University of Montana cam- pus. While there, students role play debates on politics and foreign policy between nations. Students researched actual pro- blems between countries during 1985 before the assemly. For instance, the 1984 MUN took place just after the assination of Indian Premier Indria Ghandi and Big Sky's India delega- tion faced challenging issues. Some times MUN actions are ex- treme: like the eviction of Russia from this year's MUN. But other times debates resulted in a rewarding day. In MUN, kids get a chance to learn about the world's problems more in- tensely. Its like helping yourself and a country. said Nick Marvin. Junior Eric Heist was named an outstanding delegate and won a scholarship at the U of M. Heist's delegation from India was named one of the assembly's outstanding delegations. Curiosity is the key word for the members of the German and Interna- tional Clubs. Besides selling the traditional assortment of imported candies, Ger- man Club established work to bolster their scholarship fund for students who choose to major in German. The club is also active in pizza par- ties and soccer fun nights, during which they brush up on their conver- sational Gemian. Intemational Club met regularly during the noon hour. Intemational Club is valued in stu- dying about a foriegn country, not just one country but the ones we are interested in, said advisor Peggy Patrick. This year foreign exchange students at Big Sky,Jati Wijaya of In- donesia, Dirk Weimann from Hain- burg, Germany, and Staffan Thorell from Stockholm. Sweden awed club members with slides, map presenta- tions, and explanations of their culture. Weimann even showed a promotional video tape presentation of his home town, Hamburg.
