mmm When Our Ran Out Biggest is not always best. Even though Senior High is the largest school in the state, it, too, had its disappointments. However, with activities overlapp- ing throughout the year, one let down was compen- sated by another victory. Spirits remained at an all- time high even WHEN OUR LUCK RAN OUT! Spirit motivator, Viet- nam veteran, Dave Roever, visited Senior High when it needed him most. The inspirational speaker launched the new year at an all- school assembly telling students to be their own persons. His speech affected the student body the way a gernade affected his fac? explosive!

1983-84, A Look Back TICKET QUOTA takes its toll as a BiUings police officer stops a traffic violator. Many Senior High students received their first tickets during the first few weeks of the quota when 800-1000 tickets were issued each week. ■■■■■■■■■■■I ■■■toBBBrftttEl mnmmmmmmmmi.

Throughout 1983-84, Billings got a taste of everything from pro hockey vs. Olympic teams to strict enforce- ment of traffic laws. The sports scene proved disappointing for Billings sports fans. Although the city lost one professional sport, it gained a hopeful new one. Pro- fessional hockey returned to Billings when the Witchita Wind of the Central Hockey League came to the city and was renamed the Montana Magic. Unfortunately, the team did not get as much support as anticipated. Billings also hosted the U.S. Olympic volleyball game against Cuba at Eastern Mon- tan College. The year was also filled with controversy and complaints. The Yellowstone County Jail reached its capacity and thus new locations were sought. Proposed sites included Lin- coln Junior High, a location on 27th street, and a westend loca- tion. The site voted by city council members was property owned by the city near the county shops. Another major issue this year was the ticket quota. The Police Department came down hard on the speeders and other traffic violators. The quota’s purpose was added safety on the roads. This created much controversy since many people felt that the quota did not increase safety, only revenue for the depart- ment. Other area events included the shut down of Pierce Pack- ing, sub-zero temperatures in December, rejection of the sewer proposal in the Heights and an increase in residential construction, thus keeping up with Magic City growth. .
