Not ' receive a new superinten- ds. Jean Hagan, who is dedicated povement of Bigfork schools, juired four new teachers. This was ;Wrfasant surprise and a beneficial additiW to our school. Mr. Bob Hislop became our new history teacher and he also doubled as a basketball coach. The new band director, Mr. Dick Schlatter, impressed the student body with a super effort that brought our band immediate- ly into the limelight. Mrs. Carol Kramer took on the arduous task of teaching Freshman English as well as some Senior English and accepted the new position of drama coach. Mrs. Elinor Pulcini teach- es the general sciences and is actively involved with the new CARE program which was started to aid students with problems. This year we have also re- ceived many new students who have in- volved themselves in extracurricular ac- tivities. The current enrollment at Big- fork High School is 310 students with the prediction that we are going to receive more new students at the semester. The participation of all our Bigfork High School students is what makes our school the best in Flathead Valley. New people pick up the positive attitudes and join in the group work that makes things easier for everyone. by Cathy Childers and Keri Remain Above.

The 1' - -II school’s attitude makes the dif- ference. As usual, the students had spirit that they expressed during Homecoming week. Our students are also willing to participate in school sports. Their atti- tude has brought many victories. This year our boys football team made it to divisional play-offs. Our girls basketball team had an exceptional year. They placed first at district, second at divi- sional, and fourth at the state tourna- ment. The teachers at Bigfork are super. Their attitude toward our school and students is great. Our community is also very supportive of us. They have helped to do away with the old and finance the new. The students at Bigfork High School are super. by Chris Wade and Laura Murphy Below. Our Bigfork Viking football team had to do some dirty work this year, and Rob Moss, Scott Evenson, John Mogolis, Jus- tin Anderson, Cory Loudermilk, Brooks Rector, and Jeff Newton are good at what they do. Right. The small school atmosphere is a very pleasant one because of the one-to- one student-teacher interaction. This relationship is not found in many other schools.

The kids at B.H.S. are enthusiastic about learning different skills and have many leadership qualities. These qualities provide the ability to effectively work with people and lead others in the accomplishments of goals. In order for school life to be successful, one must be involved and willing to change. At Bigfork, the administration provides many different areas of interest for the students to participate in, from the different sports and all the clubs that Bigfork of- fers, the kids usually find their place in the action. by Kristi Martin Above, center.

Students enthusiastically par- ticipated in many enjoyable activities during Spirit Week such as Decade Day, Hawaiian Day, and of course, the traditional Blue and White Day. One of the most enjoyable times was the night the bonfire and tug-of-war contests were held. Not only did most of the students show up, but there were also many teachers, parents, and other townspeople. The class of 1986 repeated its reign of Spirit Week Champions of Bigfork High School. Senior class candidates Nairobi Rodriguez and Jorge Rosales Esca- lante were crowned Homecoming Queen and King. Although the Senior class won the title, the other classes showed tremendous spirit and made the race closer than anyone would have expected. But the most important thing was the fun and participation shared by the student body. We lost the Homecoming football game to St. Ignatius 20-25. Later this turned out to be very important because both Bigfork and Mission tied for the confer- ence championship. The girls fared better as their basketball team beat Frenchtown 51 to 44. The week came to an end with the traditional Homecoming Dance Saturday night. The band Busi- ness came from Missoula to play for us. In all the week was most enjoyable for everyone. by Melissa Jenson and Curt Rowsey Spirit Week was topped of by crowning the King and Queen, Jorge Rosales Escalante and Nairobi Rodriguez Student Life Homecoming Student Life Homecoming all Street est - Most tion t Best Lost bigger schools give little or no attention tofl “Best Most I section.

Every member of the senior class gets to give their opinion as to who is the best and at what. Using this method we come up with as fair results as could be expected. Won't it he fun to pull out the old yearbook and see if “the .Jock is still athletic, if the “most likely to succeed really did in fact succeed, or if the great bodies have put on a few pounds here and j there. All of these things will produce memories, and that’s what a yearbook is: “A Book of Memories.” Who knows what the future will bring, but it’ll sure be nice to lookback and remember what we once were. by Steve Van Krevelen Journal Above.

One of the more conspicuous fashion setters was junior, om Jordan. He could always be counted on to be up on the latest styles and sometimes he jUM looked absolutely radical. Above. Most of the students at B.H.S. pride themselves on dressing well and looking nice. Senior Jamie Anderson, freshman Missy Billmayer, senior Steve Van Krevelen, and junior Cristie Akers are gooty examples of kids who are typical of the styles and everyday wear that can be found on campus.

Bigfork High School is no excep- tion. Throughout the year, different trends spring up: for exam-, pie, this year “s” watches, flower-pants, oversize v-neck sweaters, flourescent colored shirts, jean jacketdTcowboy boots, and short hair seemed to be the new things. But of course, we always have the never-out-of-style Levi’s 501s or everyday blue jeans, white leather tennis shoes, and the basic T shirt. During Spirit Week, all fashion is forgotten and replaced by the attitude of “anything goes . Actually this attitude seems to be the basic fashion rule anymore. Generally a person dresses in a certSumvay hecause that is how they feel about themselves. Here at B.H.S. we seem to have a lot of young people making their own personal statements. Keep it up B.H.S. students, because this uniqueness is wi makes you great. The Hall Street Journal Fads - Fashion They gave th ii Llor the dreainifof our country.

This year’s annual staff had a real chal- lenge - to equal or or better the excellent yearbook put out last year. They at- tempted to achieve this by having more color, greater cover- age. better graphics, and more attention to detail. Returning co-editors Steve Van Krevelin and Mike Berg headed up a super staff of 11 hardworking stu- dents. EVEN THOUGH MR BAIRD CAN BE D1FFI CUL T. HE KNO WS HO W TO HUT OUT A GOOD ANNUAL A LOT OF AR- GUING AND HARD WORK. HELPED MAKE THIS A BETTER FIN- ISHED PRODUCT IN THE END. IT WAS WORTH it: Mike Berg There were many obstacles to over- come this year. The biggest ones were fi- nances, deadlines, and classroom logis- tics. The staff had to raise most of their own money to pay for this yearbook. Because of their ad- ditional involve- ment, Kristine Ganiere, Kathy Childers, and Jo- lene Nordtome as well as others, con- tributed greatly to the success of this yearbook. Right. .Junior Alex Lobdell and seniors Kim Soule, Pam Sellner. and Richard Rum ley ponder over a difficult newspaper layout.

Spanish Club is one of the more active groups in the school mainly because of the participation of its 12 members and its advisor. Mrs. Shirley Best. The members learn about different cultures and foreign languages. Last year the club set as a goal a trip to Europe. The students have been putting a lot of time and hard work trying to earn money to go on this trip. Just recently the decision was made to change the trip from Europe to Mexico. Some of the members de- cided to drop out. but seven of them will still be spending about four weeks touring Mexico. Parents Marcie Peck and Margie Gildart visit with Mrs. Best about the upcoming Spanish Club trip. Both .Mrs. Peck and Mrs. Gildart will be chaperones on the Mexico tour. Right. A.F.S.

The Computer Club is a group of high school students who are concerned w’ith developing and broadening their computer skills. During the 1985-86 school year, they were involved in various money- making activities. They had various workshops for the members on week- ends and had meet- ings to introduce new software and programming tech- niques. The club was great- ly assisted by the Bigfork High School computer science teacher, Don Richardson, and it grew and ex- panded this year. Officers for the past year were: Richard Rumley-president, Scott Richardson - vice-president, andRichardChat- terton- secretary treasurer. This club has been a very positive addition to the many organiza- tions at Bigfork high school.

A.F.S. is a program which promotes peace and interna- tional understand- ing through student exchange. In Big- fork, A.F.S. is an ac- tive organization which gives the community an op- portunity to exper- ience young people from different cul- tures who have been assigned here for a school year. We have really had a di- verse bunch of stu- dents here over the years. 7 DIDN'T KNOW ANY THING ABOUT MON TANA WHEN I FIRST CAME HERE OTHER THAN THE COLI). I RE ALL Y HA VE GROWN TO LIKE IT HERE Nairobi Rodriguez The local chapter also provides an op- portunity for local students to travel to another country for a year. They have also sent small groups of students from Bigfork to oth- er communities in the United States on one week ex- changes. A.F.S. is an opportunity for young people and adults to learn about other cultures of the world and does go a long way to living up to its stated goal. PRECISION PAYS OFF The colorguard showed their unique quality and precision routines by presenting the flag this year at boys and girls home basketball games as well as some of the football games and other events. They definitely contributed to the school spirit. All of the girls and their advisor, Miss Karen Kohler, put in a lot of hard work and time perfecting their routines. Below. The seven members were Melissa Brown, Jill Hei- kens, Caryn Chapman, Cindy Chapman, Tina We- gener, Renee Linnell, and Tami Mitchell. Sometimes we take groups like the colorguard for granted and don't realize how valuable they really are and how much they add to making our school something we can be proud of. Keep up the good work girls. Above. Here members of the color- guard present the flag at the begin- ning of a girls home basketball game. These girls do a fine job and we hope that the full drill team can be re- formed again. Left. Miss Kohler straightens something on senior Jill Heikens’ uniform.

They were a talented group of musicians who marched in parades, played pep music at games, performed in concerts, and trav- eled and competed in music festivals. This year’s band consisted of about fifty members. They spent a lot of time improving their individual abilities and as a re- sult, the quality of the band was sig- nificantly better.

Mr. Schlatter feels our band, “has improved, but also has a long way to go.” We feel he has produced results by encouraging the band students to work harder and strive to do their best. The B.H.S.

Showing another side of B.S.’s musi- cal abilities is choir. Mr. Blackler, has been our director for eight years. The choir has never been very big. This year a campaign was be- gun to bring in more students who enjoy singing. The few boys who joined choir showed that a person does not need to be a Phil Collins to sing. The girls who joined were able to show their talent and ex- citement through performances. This ' (’HOIK HAS BEEN ns THIS YEAH WE'VE HAD A FEW PROBLEMS BECAUSE WE DIDST HAVE ENOUGH GUYS NOW WE HAVE THEM AND WE ARE IMPROVING AS THE YEAR GOES ON. Rachel Morton past year the choir sang in the annual choir festival held in February. This fes- tival consisted of about 150 students, from schools in the Flathead Valley. Some members of the choir also at- tended the All Northwest Choir Festival in Libby. They attained a rat- ing of “1”, which is the highest possible. This was an appro- priate reward for those people who put in the hard work and long hours.

As well as being successful in school, an inducted student must be involved in helpful community af- fairs and other extra-curricular ac- tivities. The inductees are rewarded a certified card of recognition and an honor society medal. OUTSPOKEN SPEECH AND DEBATE - DRAMA Throughout the years, Bigfork's speech and debate teams have received little recognition. Never-the-less, year after year, they con- tinue to come through with per- formances well wor- thy of honors. This year, the BHS speech team placed second at both the divisional and state tournaments. In in- dividual honors, Tom Ottosen placed first at state in original oratory. Tony Newberry and Bill Chrysler also placed at state, taking second in 'OUTWARDLY I WAS A ORA Y STONE INSIDE I WAS A FLOW! NO BROOK OF ECSTASY Tom Ottosen varsity debate.

They orga- nize and coordinate the activities of the students in the school. In the past, the Student Council has been a basically nondescript group and not very active. This year things be- gan to change. Elected to the of- fices were five stu- dents who were ready to take on the •77 iv .4 s a (if to I) CROUP TO WORK WITH WE TRIED TO no A LOT TO HR I SC.

Those people holding positions are: Steve Morley - president. Wil- liam Schmale and Sam Bacon - vice- presidents, Keri Romain- secretary, and Steve Van Krevelen- treasurer. This year was the first time BHS had a drama team. Six girls partici- pated: Keri Romain and Melissa Jenson competed in Humer- ous Duo, Daphne Simonson - Serious Solo, Laura Murphy - Humorous Solo, and Lisa Sanderson and Raphele Beldon - pantomime. The drama team was coached by Ms. Carol Kramer, English teacher. Although the team was small in number, they were mighty in talent. Besides their regular competition, they found time to entertain the school at Christmas time with a play based on the “Night Before Christmas.” Prior to state competition, the team took a sweepstakes trophy at one of their meets. They placed second at the divisional and finished in fourth place at the state meet. Daph- ne Simonson placed at state and all the other members of the team displayed great effort. This was a pretty good finish for a first year team. Groups, Clubs, and Organizations Student Council - Drama (£2 i! SPOTLIGHT ON DRAMATIC PERFORMERS Far left.

Sam’s spirit was shown both on and off athletic courts while Laura showed her spirit in a more supportive way going nuts at all the different events. Above, left. Senior John Kirkpatrick has the unique distinction of being a llama farmer. Here he is shown feeding his herd during a cold February afternoon. Left.

Here senior Keith Veyna fulfills his fantasy of wanting to be a cowboy while junior Tony Newberry decides to be an award winning airline pilot. These outfits were part of their participation during Spirit Week. The annual senior class group picture for the yearbook at Wayfarer’s Park is always a fun event. This year the class deviated from the traditional behavior and went all out by dressing up in their favorite silly costumes. The result is shown on pages 40 41. Because they were “treed” during the picture, seniors Chuck Howell and Kris Woll were cut out of the actual group photo. All the seniors pictured on these pages represent a portion of the grand total of the whole class during the entire year.

Not only is she athletic, participating in basketball, volleyball, and tennis, but she is also musically talented in play- ing the saxophone. Amy excels scho- lastically as well and will be valedicto- rian of our class. She came to Bigfork at the start of her sophomore year and in the future she plans to go on to college to study business administra- tion. She is definitely an outstanding individual in her class, and an inspira- tion to us all.

He started skiing at Big Mountain eight years ago and since then has skiied all over the U.S. and Eu- rope. Last year as a 17 year old, he was ranked 1 in the nation. He had an ex- cellent season this year in the adult open class and has a desire to work toward representing the U.S. in the 1988 Winter Olympics. Best of Luck to Keith.

She was born and raised here and spent her whole 11 Vt years in the Bigfork schools system. Diane was academically outstanding and would have been at the top of her class. She also was a state champion javelin thrower in track as well as a participant in other sports. Diane played in the band and was a very good musician. She will be missed by all her friends but certainly not for- gotten.

They have become quite successful and have been busy playing almost every weekend. All of them agree that their participation in school music programs was primarily responsible for getting them interested in pursuing their music. Good luck to Teal Blue in the fu- ture.

He has always shown great leadership abilities. He was chosen president of his class last year and this year he was elected president of the student body. He has maintained a 4.0 grade point average since his sophomore year and will he the class salutatoriam In addi- tion to being an all-around nice guy and well liked, Steve was also a mem- ber of the outstanding track team which won the state championship last year. We hope he can repeat that feat again this year. Mike Sorenson Kim Soule Alan Spencer Fumiko Suwabe Matt Torgeson Steve Van Krevelen Seniors AI E?

Chosen by the senior class as “Everyone’s Best Friend” were these three fun-loving and easy-going characters; Sam Ba- con, Jamie Anderson, and Joani Mogolis. To know them is to appreciate them, and there really couldn’t have been a better choice. Below. One of the most important summer activities in Bigfork is tree farming. One of the best seniors around known for his reli- ability, dependability, and good hard work is Bryan Conley. He has been in the school system for all 12 years. Above. Elected by their classmates as “the Most Like- ly to Succeed” were Heidi Singer and Steve Mor- ley. If you were fortunate enough to know these indi- viduals, you certainly would understand why they de- serve this honor. They were definitely “movers and shakers”. Above. Looking “nice and neon” are sen- iors Scott Banning and Amy Lee. This picture portrays them on Hawaiian days during the activities of Spirit Week.

You finally know what’s going on but you still don’t have the pressure of being a senior. It is also a very fun year because of all the activities such as the junior prom and talent show. The class officers and student council representatives are pictured below. They are: vice president - Greg Paulson, secretary - Curtis Rowsey, stu- dent council representative - Angie Gildart, president - Brian Hubbard, treasurer - Lynette Herman, and student council representative - Rick Wagner. Part way through the school year Brian Hubbard had to move away, therefore, all the offi- cers moved up one office.

Maybe they were as curious as I was to find out what was in store for us in the upcoming school year. Well, a lot was in store for us as I was to find out later. At our first class meeting we elected our officers: (shown in the above picture) president - Joe Po- toczny, Erin Hubbard - vice president, Lesley Jochim - secretary, Sue Turna- cliff - treasurer, and Bill Chrysler and Jacque Jones - student council represen- tatives. Later in the year, Erin Hubbard moved and she was replaced by Jeff Peter- son. As the year went on, our class accom- plished a different variety of things. For Homecoming, Colleen Whiteman and Jeff Newton were honored with the titles of “Princess and Prince” of the sophomore class. Many sophomores distinguished themselves in the sports area this year. Kim Jenneskens excelled in girls basket- ball. Justin Anderson and Craig Jen- neskens were very successful in boys bas- ketball. Sue Turnacliff and Sam Baer were outstanding in cross country. Cathy Blair showed her enthusiasm for tennis, and Julie Schwartz was great in volley- ball. These people plus many others helped make this year a fun and exciting learning experience for all.

Remember all those times when you tripped on the stairs while you were running up them just a bit too fast, or the times you walked into the wrong classroom after it had all- ready started? These and many others are experiences we will remember for the rest of our lives. Although the freshman year is usually associated with uncomfort- able moments, it is an experience that gives us all something to smile about. Four years later those un- fortunate freshmen will be sitting around their night before graduation laughing at all they had to endure their first year of high school. On the other hand the freshman year is also a time of goal setting. It is here that students begin developing interests and planning for a career. Some students participate in athletic events, while others are more academically inclined. Whatever activity one chooses to participate in their high school years really makes no difference. What is important is that these students begin learning about responsibility, hard work, setting goals and respecting authority among other things. Participating in athletics, groups, clubs and other ex- tracurricular activities gives them that opportunity. Everyone usually makes it through their freshman year without too many complications, but during that time they also start learning about some of the more important aspects of high school. Perhaps it is worth it after all. by Keri Romain Boys dominated the class officer positions this past freshman year. Top.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF BIGFORK HIGH SCHOOL By New Freshman Students Dan Arthur - I didn't know what to expect. I just thought it would be another school but with less people. Actually it's been easier to get along with people here and it's been a good experience for me.

Stacking lockers was a common practical joke. It looks like fresh- man Philip Willett was the victim of this prank but actually he was just cleaning out his locker.

Throughout her first year, she has done a great job running the school. Getting to know the students and faculty is an important part of her job, thus it comes as no surprise to see Mrs. Hagan attending Big- fork’s many extra-cur- ricular activities. Above she is shown working with her staff: Mrs. Au- drey Holman, assistant clerk; Mrs. Judy Kop- pang, district clerk; and Mrs. Marilyn Nylander, executive secretary. She enjoys working with stu- dents. The responsibilities of our prin- cipal, Bill Zepp, were numerous. They involved solving disciplin- ary problems and improving the quality of education among oth- er things. Our school secretary, Bonnie Shay, definitely kept busy helping him run things. I B.H.S. has a strong English department. Pictured be- low is Mrs. Marilyn Don Tigny. She teaches four Sophomore English classes and one Senior English class. She has taught here for twelve years and enjoys teaching elective classes.

English teachers Vernon Pond and Carol Kramer coordinate their lesson plans for Senior English. Our math department offers classes that range from consumer math to calculus. (Below) Robin Burns teaches consumer math, algebra I, and geometry. She is not only a good teacher but also a good friend and is willing to help students whenever she can. The other math teacher is Dan Masters. To those who know him, he is a nice guy who never hesitates to express his school spirit. (Right) Mr. Masters shows freshman Sam Baer how to get the class’ atten- tion. He has acquired a great variety of math experience and shows this in his teaching of pre-algebra, algebra II, trigo- nometry, and calculus. Below.

Mrs. Best, left, is th teacher of this class and does a superb job. She has worked in the Bigfork schools for five years and has been the advisor for the Spanish club. With her enthusiasm and dide- cation to her subject area, she makes taking elective classes like Spanish fun for the stu- dents. Marsha Whiteman (above right) and Sue Ebing (right) are our two business department teach- ers. Miss Ebing likes teaching because she can teach a wide va- riety of business subjects such as bookkeeping, shorthand, and of- fice practice. She also feels that everyone can benefit in some way from these classes. Mrs. Whiteman teaches a general business class and handles all the typing. General business is a course that is practical and valu- able as an ongoing life skell. Typing is an important basic skill that everyone should mas- ter.

Don DonTigny gives students a chance to improve their artistic skills in his Art I, Art II, and Advanced Art classes. The different areas he covers in these classes include waterco- lor, oil painting, draw- ing, ceramics, stained glass, silkscreen, solored chalk and a few other of- ferings. There have been some very promising young artists come out of Mr. DonTigny’s classes.

Les Sarri teaches Car- pentry, Wood Shop, and Me- chanical Drawing. Sid Aschim han- dles Auto Mech I and II, Welding, and Small Engine Repair. Students are allowed to bring in their own cars and work on them in the shop. Shop classes are a good learning ex- perience and are also lots of fun. The Home Economics class is a very valuable class to take, for it will be useful now and in the future. At Bigfork, Mrs. Lois Robinson has taught this class for eight years. She has attended two different col- leges, which include, Flathead Val- ley Community College, and the U of M in Missoula. She likes teach- ing at B.H.S. and plans on teaching here again next year. We have two very good physical edu- cation teachers. They are both coaches so they know a lot about con- ditioning. Ron Dahlman teaches Boys P.E. and Jean Cavanaugh teaches Girls P.E. In class the sports played range from basketball to bowling, softball to soccer. Mr. Dahl- man also teaches Driver’s Education so new drivers may learn safe driving habits. Faculty - Academics Shop - Home Economics - Science Teaching all areas of sci- ence are: Elinor Pulcini who teaches Earth Science and Advanced Biology, Wayne Loeffler who teach- es Biology, and Jean Ca- vanaugh who teaches Physics and Chemistry.

HARD WORK LEADS TO WINNING SEASON he 1985 Bigfork Viking varsity football team enjoyed it’s most successful season since joining the Class B ranks. The Vikes were led by first year Coach Phil Johnson. Mr. Johnson pushed the young Vikes hard through many long and tiring prac- tices. The hard work paid off for the teamas they finished the season with a record of 6 - 3 and played in the play- offs for the first time as a Class B school. The Vikings’ only losses came to the Class A Poison Pirates, the Mis- sion Bulldogs, and the Frenchtown Broncs in the Divisional playoffs. The heated rivalry between the Vikings and the Eureka Lions was resumed this year and the Vikes came out vic- torious in two tries. The Vikings de- feated Eureka 16 - 0 in Bigfork and then traveled to Eureka country and caged the Lions 13 - 6. The Vikings ended up in a tie for the district title with Mission. The winning season left high hopes for the Vikes as most of the team will be returning next year. by Curt Rowsey Below. Stretch baby stretch! The team stretched out every day before practice.

The J V team finished at 3 - 2 and 4 - 3 combin- ing with the freshman record. The JVs started out the year strong with a decisive win over Browning 28 - 0. The younger Vikes then ran into undefeated Eureka and lost a close one 0-6. After losing 0 - 34 to class A Whitefish, the Vikes closed out the season with a tough 7 - 0 win over Kalispell and a 13 - 0 revenge win over Eureka. The freshman team ended their year at 1 -1 with a split with Ronan. They lost the first game 22 - 30 and then shutout the Chiefs 6 - 0. The underclass- men followed in the varsity’s footsteps, working hard at practice and giving one hundred percent at all times. They learned much by practicing against the varsity and look to use that experience in setting goals for next year’s play. by Curt Rowsey CROSS COUNTRY Determined Runners! FRESHMEN HEATHER AND DON SET A WINNING PACE -111: he Bigfork Cross Country team started out the year -U-J with strength and determination. They were coached by Wayne and Sue Loeffler and competed in a total of seven meets. Cross Country is an endurance sport which requires the willingness to work hard, and work hard they did. Such performers as Heather Cockrell and Don Schwennesen hinted for good things to come in future years. As a fresh- man, Heather Cockrell was a welcomed addition to the team this year. In Missoula she placed 2nd out of 104 run- ners and at state she came in 10th making her an all-state selection. As a whole the team placed 9th out of 14 teams at state. The boys team had a successful year also. Led by Don Schwennesen the boys placed well at state and look to be tough next year. He admitted that, “the boys team could’ve done better” but that he was pleased with their perfor- mance. The Cross Country team had a really good year and should do even better next year. by Kristine Ganiere and Cathy Childers Right, working hard in practice to prepare them- selves for the next meet are Sue T urna- cliff, Jenny Ephraimson, Amy Kirkpat- rick and Jamie Jackson.

Although they started out slow, they came on strong using quickness and teamwork to win the District Championship. Their second place finish at Divi- sional was enough to take them on to the State Tournament at Butte. There the Vais played excep- tionally well and came away with fourth place. This accomplishment was the best in Bigfork’s history. Three seniors made up the nucleus of the starting five: Tracy Hansen, Joani Mogolis and Amy Zepp. These three, along with junior Brenda Gem- bala, were the top scorers for the varsity team. The determination of all the players was strong and they played with enthusiasm and effort. In post-season play the Valkyries had some of their toughest com- petition against the Superior Bobcats. By taking a positive approach the Vais completed a very suc- cessful season and came out as winners in the end. by Jolene Nordtome Left.

They started the season by winning the Whitefish Tournament. During the season the Vais only lost one match; to class AA Missoula Sentinel. The Vais, led by second year coach Jean Cavanaugh, after winning the District Tournament, went on to the Divisional Tournament in Missoula to once again add a first place trophy to their collection. Finally, the Vais were off to the State Tournament in Dillon. This was their third year in a row at State. Two years ago the Vais finished in 4th place and last year they had tremendous incentive to make the third time the charm. The Vais opened against Chinook with a win; 15-6, 5-15, 15-8. Next they had to beat last year’s defending champions, Twin Bridges, to make it to the quarter-finals. The Vais won with their strong offense and defense. They defeated the Frenchtown Broncs and then they realized how close they really were to their longtime dream. Again, the Vais met the Broncs and accomplished what they had set out to do. They were now the 1986 Volleyball B-C State Champions. Selected as All-State Players were: Joani Mogolis, Tra- cey Hansen, Amy Zepp, and Brenda Gembala. by Jolene Nordtome and Richard Chatterton It felt great!

Front row from left, Debbie Childers, Jessica Lewis, Paul Mas- ters, Kris Nelson, Keri Romain. he Bigfork Viking tradition has been one of great success. This year was not supposed to be an exception to that rule. Early in the season the Vikes showed promise, beating a tough Class “A” Poison team in the pre-season tournament held in Whitefish. However, by mid-season the Vikes saw the possibility of of a not-so-succesful season. Some peoples attitudes turned sour, and the situation looked bleak for the team. Finally, the Vikings put things together and finished off the season by win- ning five of their last six ball games. Disaster struck the team in the District tournament. For reasons unknown the Vikes couldn’t buy a bucket, and for the first time in at least 15 years, they failed to make it out of the District Tournament. Injuries were a huge problem for Bigfork throughout the season. This could possibly explain the overall performance problem. As a result, a lot of younger Vikings gained valuable varsity experience. When the last buzzer sounded, and all the smoke cleared, we saw a Viking team with nothing to be ashamed of. Their 10-10 record, though not great for Bigfork, would make most towns very happy. With this in mind, people can only be proud of what our teams have done, and will continue to do in the future. by Steve Van Krevelen THE VILLAGE FLORIST Athletics Boys Basketball BOYS BASKETBALL Winning Younger Teams JV TEAM CRUISES TO STRONG 15 - 3 WINNING RECORD FRESHMEN PERFORM WELL DESPITE TOUGH OPPONENTS he JV boys basketball season was a great success as they finished with a 15 - 3 record overall.

This year the first five team members were Pat Espe- land (who finished 3rd overall at State), Dan Sy verson, Lynn Lapka, John Mogolis,and Colby Van Denberg. Competition through out the season was strong as there were 15 different team members. Including the five State competitors, the other team members were: Rob Turner, Jeff Petersen, Alan Love, Curt Rowsey, Greg Paul- son, Brent Bradewie, Robert Gagliardi, Don We- gener, Curt Wade, and Rick Haiges. Initially it ap- peared to be a srong turnout for girls this year but for some reason they quickly limited down to only two girls. Sopho- mores Brenda Johnson and Julie Schwartz both hung in there and had good seasons ending with their competing in the State Meet also. All of the team members worked hard not only at practice but at raising money as they had to pay for their own program this year. They had various dif- ferent fund raisers, parents provided transporation, and of course Eagle Bend graciously allowed the members to play for free. The program would not have been successful with- out the direction of the two volunteer coaches, Steve Hullett and Lee Leivo. Competing individually yet working togeth- er as a team proved to be the key to success as the golf team enjoyed a good second season. by Jeff Peterson Rob Turner and freshman John Mogolis had successful seasons this year. John finished as Bigfork’s «4 man. Left. Sophomore Jeff Peterson shows Alan Love, Rick Haiges.and Dan Sy verson his powerful compacted driving style.

At the left are nine of the 15 boys who took part in the golf team. Brenda Johnson, shown here lining up a putt, emerged as the 1 girls player this year because of her strong, consistent play. CHEERLEADERS Cheers GIRLS DIRECT SPIRIT raditionally cheerleaders have al- ways been an import part of Bigfork High School’s activities. They spread the Viking spirit throughout the community from the start last fall to the end this spring. Nicki Dockstader, Keri Ro- main, Christie Akers, and Amy Lee were the cheerleaders for football. Melody Reed, Kris Nelson, Debbie Childers, and Jessica Lewis did the cheering for girls basketball and boys basketball with Keri Romain replacing Melody Reed. Unfortunately there were no cheerleaders for wrestling or volleyball. Marcia White- man served as the advisor. Our J.V. cheer- leaders were a dedicated group of young girls cheered for all the J.V and freshman teams in football and both girls and boys basketball. They were Jacque Jones, Kristi Martin, Traci Brandner and Cathy Blair. by Keri Romain and Kristi Martin a For four years the hardest part was try- ing to get people moti- vated. It was really fun and a valuable ex- perience for me. I am glad I did it. 99 - senior Kris Nelson ii Being a cheerleader was much more than just a popularity con- test.

Although Jacque Jones, Traci Brandner, Kristi Martin, and Cathy Blair were new to cheering this year, these J.V. cheerleaders gave it an outstanding effort. They took on the responsibility of cheering for both boys and girls basketball as well as foot- ball. It’s great that these youn- ger girls are willing to set an example of giving of their time and efforts for such an impor- tant cause. It’s always a lot nicer to play when you have good strong supporters behind you. Above. To get the community involved in some pre-game excitement, several cheerleaders lead the homecoming parade. Throwing candy to the kids and leading supportive cheers wfere just a few of the ways that our B.H.S. cheerleaders showed their spirit for our school. Left. Football cheerleaders Nicki Dockstader, Amy Lee and Keri Romain try to get the student body behind them with a rousing cheer at a pep assem- bly.
