Angie Madel, Amy Aldrich, and other varsity cheerleaders provided refreshing cold watermelon for foot- ball players after a hot and sweaty August practice. The watermelon feed was just one of many ac- tivities that promoted a special type of com- araderie at Senior High. (Photo submit- ted by Katie Link) at’s how it goes ■Nothing seemed to go as lanned. It snowed on B-Day — the only snow we had before Christmas. Football season was a bummer, and ski- ing wasn’t any better. Enrollment was down 400 students, which created more parking spaces in and out of school. The “corners” were va- cant and so were the bleachers at ballgames. No “jocks” hung out on second floor and “cowboy corner” was sparsely populated. It would seem 1,600 students were enough to carry on the Bronc spirit, but something was missing. Could it be the 1,400 students bask- ing in luxury at Skyview High? Was it the drop in enrollment? Sitting back and analyzing the situation, we had to remember that the girls basketball team, which wasn’t predicted to place at all, plac- ed fourth in divisional tourna- ment and that the boys basket- ball team, after winning their first two games, defeated West High in the second conference game of the season. Most of all, we had to remember that every school goes through it. All we could say when asked,“How’s it go- ing?” was, “Ever had one of those years?” rnS££x.rJLicC UKIUTHAL.

Faculty members Bob Schwarz and Brent Rast donned West High girls uniforms to entertain students at the annual faculty pep assembly. Teachers lost all in- habitions once a year when the cross- town rivals were scheduled to meet on the basket- ball court. {Photo by Chuck Sucharda) A eta inst all odds Bgt'a nucleus of students was''determined to maintain ttie momentum of the previous year and said we’d look back at it all and remember the good things — or better yet, laugh. Determined cheerleaders pulled student spirit together for the last football game of the season with the S.O.S. (Save Our Spirit) Assembly. (Jpbeat posters, which covered the halls, reminded us that whether we won or lost, we had to save our “Bronc At- titude.” It worked! We won our game against Bozeman and came away with one victory under our belt. What a boost! What a game! What luck! But it still wasn’t enough to raise our spirits, and we knew that we couldn’t let the success or failure of our sports teams determine our year. Realizing that this year was a good time to re-strenghten our overall student abilities, we had to make the best of it. With so many other things going on — surely we’d find something good to remember. The faculty led us into our se- cond Senior- West game with the teacher’s assembly, remin- ding us that we did have the best faculty in the state. The enthusiasm and spirit of the faculty boosted the morale of the students enough to result in a second basketball victory over the cross- town rival. And despite the new Supreme Court ruling that limited the rights of student journalists, our publishings were not affected — good ole Mr. Rickard led us through one of those years.

Some o ten cowboys, o lers jocks, and still Others were granoias, but all of them carried with them a personality uniquely their own, and that gave Senior High the perfect blend of people an original school should have. Some people tried to carry that blend to West High in 1962 and then to Skyview High in 1985, but the blend fad- ed. Only Senior High preserved those special ingredients and per- sonalities that separated us from the rest. With diverse types of people creating “the best,” it was easy to hold our heads up dur- ing the “down” times. Each year, like each per- son, had its own per- sonality, and when we came to school, we knew just about everyone was there. PLITTY IN HER HANDS.

When Hannah’s parents moved to Kansas, she decid- ed to stay behind to complete her last school year in Montana. Hannah lived with the family of junior Angie Madel for the first four weeks she was in Billings alone. She then moved to live with the family of junior Holly Miller for three weeks while she found a perma- nent home. Han- nah’s final move was near her old house with a family that she babysat for when she was younger. Angela Marshall left Senior High her sophomore year and returned as a senior. She was liv- ing with her family in Miles City, and her parents thought it would be good for her to move back to Billings to keep an eye on her grandmother. Mar- shall also needed some classes that were not offered in Miles City. She liv- ed in her own apartment most of the year. It’s a big respon sibility. You set your own hours, but you have to make yourself have a lot of self- discipline,” Mar- shall said. You don’t have to make your bed though.” Although these students were responsible when they were living with their parents, they said it taught them about being in charge of their actions. “I’m not as well- accepted as other family members,” Hannah said. They don’t trust me as much.” Even though students were away from home, they found themselves following the rules their parents set for them. � —JoEHe Zartman Matt Agnew Lexi Aleksich Andrea Andrew Marc Andrews Kristy Annecharlco Debra Kay Apedaile Laura Arbizzani Kathy Arledge Aaron Arredondo Alicia Arredondo Shane Atwell Shanna Auer Mike Barnett Michelle Barov!

Senior Advocates began the year by acting as tour guides and taking ne students around the school building before school began. On the first day of school, the Ad- vocates presented a skit to welcome the freshmen. 'The skit was really fun,” Angie Morton said. It in- formed the freshmen about the different dubs and groups of the school. A form of phone friend” in reverse was used during September. Advocates telephoned the ninth grade students to see how they were getting along at school. Most of them were surprised that we'd take the time to call them, and a few parents remark- ed about what a neat idea it was,” Kris Johnson said. Open House at the beginning of the year was another Advocate success,” Jack McLeod, counselor and adviser, said. He also noted the unusually large tur- nout of both Ad- vocates and parents. It seemed unusual to see parents struggling to find classes and to make it there on time,” Andy Maheras said. ‘It was great being able to help parents out, and to show them what a great school we have.” In February, Faculty Apprecia- tion Day gave Ad- vocates a chance to show their apprecia- tion of their teachers by baking cookies for, or sen- ding a card to a teacher. The next day the cycle began again with a Mew-Student Open House for next year’s ninth graders. McLeod praised the spirited seniors who filled the need and contributed many hours to making the school year run more smoothly. —Janna Birkeland Danielle Childers Todd Chilton Denise Coates Amy Combs Whitney Crandall Butch Crawford Rocky Connell Chris Cooke ft Teresa Eckert Travis Eckert Martin Edeler Bryan Eden Petra Edvards Ricardo Cuellar Courtney Cunningham Erik Dahlberg Sharmain Daniel Dorothy Daugherty Tiffany Davidsc Marc Davis Jody DeFrees Joan Diechl Jason Deigert Tricia Deis Lara DeJongh Trina DeWitz Deborah Douglas Dave DuCharme Lisa Duncan Stacy Dunham Dave Dye Justin Dyer Thad Eckenroai — Erben Chapman Marty Emigh Kelly Emmer Corey Emter Michelle Eng« Kristy Erben PROPAGANDA FOR PA. Sheree Winslow hangs a campaign poster in her mother’s office, Winslow actively helped in her father’s campaign by run' ning errands. (Photo by Chris Chakos) On the campaign trail to Governor's Mansion With pressure from grades, future plans, and school activities, few seniors were without stress. Throw in the added pressure of a father running for gover- nor, and you have the kind of stress Sheree Winslow ex- perienced during her senior year. Winslow felt more stress at schoool than at home. She said that her classes were more difficult and that they required a lot of time.” However, home was stressful, too, since Winslow’s father, Cal, decided to campaign for governor of the state. Winslow involved herself in helping at the campaign of- spent three hours a day after school running errands or doing jobs for the campaign. As the primary election ap- proached, she devoted even more time helping. Most of her stress came from the combination of pressures associated with her many activities. Although she pushed herself to succeed, parental expectations motivated Winslow to excel in school, and she felt pressured by her parents about her grades. Winslow knew that if her father was elected to the governor’s office, her life would change even though she would be away at college. The most obvious change would be that home would be the Governor’s Mansion in Helena. “I’d rather be in here (in Billings),” Winslow said. When she spoke about preferring Billings to Helena, Winslow speaks from past ex- perience because she lived in the Capital City during the 1987 legislative session. Winslow may have had more stress than the average teenager, but omit the guber- natorial campaign, and she would match her classmates in the areas of her life that cause stress. � —Amy Aldrich fice.

Keck, who summer, said the Japanese love, marvel at American seniors Along with an eventful summer, Julie Keck s senior year was full of more activities than most students do in all their years of high school. Keck was involv- ed in varsity volleyball, girls basketball, tennis, Bronc Express. Key Club, National Honor Society, and Student Council. She was sophomore and junior class vice- president and Student Council vice-president. The highlight of her opportunities came last summer when Keck traveled to Japan with a Billings volleyball team of 1 1 girls: from Senior High, three from West High, and two from Skyview High. Sports Tours Specialists con- tacted girls volleyball coach Jeff Carroll and in- vited the Senior High team to play in Japan. Only six girls thought they could go, so Carrol! extended the invita- tion to the Skyview and West High teams. “When the Japanese people saw us, they just went crazy. ’ Keck said. Although the team never deter- mined why the Japanese liked the Americans so well, Keck said the entire experience was “an incredible ego- booster.” The team won only two games “against the housewives and the elementary kids,“ but everyone felt great about the trip and thought the players were win- ners as good-will ambassadors. “The most ex- citing thing about Japan were the people, Keck said. “Even when I was homesick, I would meet more people who were so ex- cited to meet me that it would make me smile and feel great. They ap- preciated and liked me before they even knew me.’ —Tina Michael Sheree Winslow Kristie Wise Tonia Wolfe Ying Wong Zhao Wong Richard Wooster Robin Word Julie Wylie Kim Yellowtail Eva Zachmeier JoElle Zartman Lesley Zier 24 Winslow — Zier MEDITATING UNDER THE SUN.

(Photo submitted by Christy Robinson) FAST FOOD ROW. Angela Marshall stops at Taco Bell restuarant on Grand Avenue during lunch hour. The many fast food places on the same street as Senior High earned Grand Avenue its nickname of “Fast Food Row. ’ (Photo submitted by Christy Robinson) THE PLACE “What’s going on tonight?” “Meet at 8 o’clock at Kelly’s Grave.” The “place to meet,” or hangouts, changed constantly throughout the years from downtown to 24th Street West to JB’s on Grand Avenue. JB’s was a common place to meet for mass study sessions and get- togethers after school activities. The atmosphere of the restaurant and it’s late hours led the students to the home of the “Big Boy.” On Friday and Saturday nights dur- ing their sophomore year, students fre- quently found security guards and locked bathrooms at McDonalds fast food restaurant on Grand Avenue. Students were kicked out if they caus- ed a disturbance or didn’t order food and just hung out. “The Point” changed from downtown to 24th Street West when police started hiding in the alleys, for- cing students to find a new place to drive. Cruising ended when home- owners and businesses complained that teens were being too disruptive. WINTER TUBBING. Shocked at seeing ner classmates in a snowsurrounded hot tub, Paige Boyer finds the place to be is in Christy Robin- son’s back yard. Seniors got into the swing of winter bathing because several classmates had back yards equipped with hot tubs. (Photo sub- mitted by Christy Robinson) “Have you seen ‘Dirty Dancing?5” “Yes! Wasn’t Patrick Swayze just great?” Comical and suspenseful movies kept students at the theatres or in front of the TV watching video rentals. Looking back over their high school years, seniors listed their favorite movies as the following: 1. Top Gun 2. Fatal Attraction 3. Dirty Dancing 4. Three Men and A Baby 5. Crocodile Dundee Students who thought that $4.50 was too much to spend on a movie in the theater waited for it to come out on video when they could rent it to see again and again. Movies and video parties became top billing for entertainment on weekends. THE THING JfcO (jjD “What should we do tonight?” There were many things to do. It was just a matter of deciding what was “the thing to do” for that weekend. In the fall, it was common to meet after the football games in the coun- try to drink beverages around a roaring bonfire. As the weather warmed up, students moved outside once again for frisbee games in Pioneer Park and for trips to Red Lodge to have barbecues in the mountains. Structured activities were not the “thing to do.” Students found spur- of- the- moment activities proved to be more successful. Camping trips and hot tubbing were the “thing to do” in ‘88. � THING ’thin n, aim of effort or activity. THE BRONC CARAVAN.

THE PRICE IS RIGHT. Popular perfumes are displayed in a local drugstore. Imposter per- fumes like “Primo” were popular with students because of their similarity to the well-known, ex- pensive perfumes. (Photo by Karin Larson) Mini- Mag SCENT cdo What kind of perfume are you wear- ing? This often- asked question in the school bathrooms was answered with big name brands such as Giorgio, Liz Claiborne, and, of course, Obsession, which was sensually advertised in magazines across the country. Imposter perfumes were also a big hit as the scent of “Fatal” (Poison) and “Primo” (Giorgio) filled the air. These perfumes, which sold fora 10th of the price of the originals, let students wear their favorite fragrances without break- ing their budgets. Scents were not only popular with the girls but also with the guys. Col- ognes included Polo, Halsten, Chaps, Old Spice, Bruit, Grey Flannel, and Calvin Klein. ♦ OH! WHAT A WHOPPER! Lisa Kelly hungrily holds her hamburger as she exchanges the days gossip with her friends. Whoppers were only one of the many different kinds of food eaten at lun- chtime. (Photo by Janna Birkeland) As usual, studenis went crazy over food. Crazy Bread became the snack for hungry kids after a long day at school. These soft bread sticks sprinkled with Parmesan cheese were a specialty of the newly- opened Little Caesar’s Pizza. Little Caesar’s not on- ly sold Crazy Bread but also two piz- zas for the price of one. This special was popular with students who wanted good pizza without the high cost. Another Italian favorite was the Peetzaritto, sold at Li ’I Peetzas on Grand Avenue. Afterthe closing of Li’l Peetzas, students were worried that the tortillas filled with their favorite pizza ingredients were gone for good. Luckily for them, this popular late- night snack appeared again at Dairy Queen on Central Avenue and in the Heights. Burger King was once again a popular lunch spot for starving students. Whopper Combos, which in- cluded a whopper (a large hamburger topped with tomatoes, pickles, onions and lettuce), large fries, and medium drink, cost $1.99. Burger King’s new drink bar set a new trend for fast food restaurants by allowing the customers to get their own drinks and refills. This shortened the serving time for students who had only a half- hour lunch break. ♦ Del’s Cadillac, otherwise known as the “Party Wagon, was the baby blue(s) of McCormick’s life. The 1968 Cadillac Coupe de Ville was 20 feet long — two ice chests fit neatly in the trunk, as well as a couple of bodies. “It's great because I can put a bunch of people in it, and we can party a night, McCormick said. “1 get bad mileage, but I love it anyway. Students agreed that the car brought humor to their day. It was one classy car that will never go out of style. ♦ ANYTHING When it dame to hairstyles, long hair was definitely the favorite among female students and was worn in many different styles. Loosely curled hair (the result of spiral perms), French braids, and crimped or straightened hair were popular hairstyles of 1988. To liven up with color, or just for control, girls used gold and silver barettes, ribbons, and “scuncis,” rub- berbands covered in terrycloth or assorted types of fabric ranging from solid white to leopard prints. THEY’VE GOT THE LOOK. Brooke Warberg, Jessica Koessler, Shauna Jacobson, and Angie Madel chat after school. Long hair styles brought back a variety of French braids.

Sports action — any activity that in- volved physical exertion. Basketball, volleyball, football, baseball, skiing, swimming, and snowmobiling were high on the list and popular with the teen body — along with some unmen- tionable others! WHEELS UP.

Some used the time to glare at their enemies, to call them nasty names, and to take a drag or two of their favorite cigarette brands or of their own “home- grown” variety. In- school action also dealt with such activites as assemblies, lunches, picnics, and skipping classes to wander the halls, challenging the deans to catch them. ♦ HIGH SPIRITS.

Leisure and favorite activites that could and could not be done in, on, or around the school premises excited students the most. One of the favorites was weight- lifting because it gave the students time to view those of the opposite sex inconspicuously, and a few even got pumped up! Foremost on the list was attending “social gatherings,” although divi- sional and state tournaments, game playing, bowling, hunting, fishing, and fund- raising events were also includ- ed under this category. Action was the top priority on every Bronc’s schedule. Almost everybody in the school received his own share of action in one form or another, but it was left up to his own discretion. ♦ SCORE!

What room did you say?“ Hotel rooms became party places particulary after formal dances. Students often rented rooms containing hottubs. Guys soak- ed their necks, sore from the ties, and girls soaked their feet, sore from the shoes. They didn’t mind paying the price to rent the room to save wear and tear on their own homes. Since there was usually more than one party per hotel, students “roomhopped” to check out the other parties. Cheaper hotels seemed to be the better places to party because fewer people complained about the noise. For those with more money, the Sheraton Hotel provided a little more luxery. ♦ KICKING UP HER HEELS. Paige Boyer dances to the country music played by D.J.

(Photo by Tiff Davidson) GAMES When students could not find any parties to go to, many of them resorted to playing games to kill the monotony of the weekend. Pictionary replaced “Trivial Pursuit” as the most popular new board game. Pictionary resembled the TV game show ‘‘Win, Lose or Draw” in which a team member is shown a word and has to draw it to the best of his ability. The other members try to guess the word in a limited amount of time. If a player landed on “All Play,” the competition is not only against the clock but also against all other teams. The tension mounted as teams began screaming their answers in hopes of yelling the right word. Sometimes friendships temporarily ended after an intense evening when Pictionary die rolled for too many rounds of “All Play.” ♦ 0resT|auramKid� e at McDona|d's fa: wekend?

Although most parties began as a casual get- together with only a few close friends, some expanded into a crowded house with more people than expected. Students ready for enter- tainment on the weekends often show- ed up at any party they heard about. Even though the party was good while it lasted, the task of cleaning up the evidence came all too soon. Students had to look for cans anywhere from in the dishwasher to behind the planters. Windows were left wide open until parents returned to find the home with a sub-zero temperature. ♦ STRUTTIN’ THEIR STETSONS.

Students dressed up as everything from cowboys to Playboy bunnies. “It was definitely the best party we've had all year,” senior Doug McGrail said. “The costumes made it much more fun.” Students went wild and crazy behind the strange homemade or cheaply purchased masks. When the usual gossip concerning behavior at the party began floating around classes Monday, costumed party- goers denied that they were behind the masks. ♦ All Play 33 Bruce Albright Amy Aldrich Candi Allen Laura Allen Paul Allen Maggie Anderson Ronda Anderson Tina Anderson Julie Askins Jeff Aure Jeff Austin Rachel Avery Jim Bailey Robin Bailey Robert Bales Tony Ballon Jeff Barrow Jennifer Bauck Corey Baugus Gilbert Bayna Paul Beddes Mary Beltran Craig Bender Sandy Benedict Dustin Bennett Sara Berg Todd Bernhardt Corey Berry Robert Bessasparis Stephanie Betances Crystal Betz Eric Bey Ginny Bingaman Lisa Birkeland Kevin Bjornson Gidget Blackman Mike Blatnick Chad Blubaugh Erika Boggio Crystal Bogue Sabrina Bollman Dan Bonner Chris Booth Darnell Boyer Amy Bracken Jason Brinkman Jennifer Brockie Robert Bromgard Jerry Broun Lisa Burd Tracy Burd Garnet Burgess Dani Burt Gary Byrd Cindy Cain Lance Cape Phyllis Castro Brian Cebull Scott Chesarek Lori Christiansen James Clevenger Damon Cole Jason Conley Grace Cooper Julie Cooper Megan Cox Mark Coxwell Lori Crable Shawn Crane Tricia Cross Jeremy Cucciardi Angie Davis ? ' ; x Head of the class leads for second time around ! In spite of a busy schedule, junior Brad Vandiviere was prepared to take on the job of being class president for a se- cond consecutive year. Vandiviere, who participated in varsi- ty football, wrestling, and band, said that he could late ih the entire ; jnior dent bod' cau T his invo! lent. “With. the - tivities I n in,” diviere 1 I met seveial gro ps of people, so it made running for president much easiei because I get along with all the groups. Because he was Sophomore Class president the previous year, Van- diviere realized that a large amount of work needed to be done his junior year. “Since there wasn’t many duties for the Sophomore Class when I was presi- dent,’ Vandiviere said, “I wanted to do something for the class again this year.” Vandiviere also thought, with his ex- perience as a class officer, the new junior officers could use some help on the work that needed to be done.

His other goal was to raise money for Senior Prom. “It is not going to be easy raising the money, Vandiviere said, “but it will be much easier with the support of my classmates. The difficult part was raising the $2,000 to $4,000 by the time the class began making plans for the dance. Van- diviere planned to have several car washes to make most of the money. The Junior Class president worked on his two major goals and other necessities every Tuesday morn- ing with the other class executives when they met in Room 107 to plan pep dances, to discuss parking pro- blems, and to try to better the school. “With all the school work I have this year and all the activities I’m in,” Vandiviere said, “I don’t have any more time to dedicate to an office. —Stewart Wilson IT’S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS.

He thought that the bund was actually better because it had points of view from both ends of town. “Going to West doesn't make them (the other band members) any less my friends, Hope said. 'They’re good and a real addition to the band. Hope and Quiroz wanted to make music a permanent part of their lives and a way to ex- press themselves. Both juniors used their band not only to say what they felt, but to “just have fun.” We started this band as a bunch of people getting together making a lot of racket, Quiroz said. Hope, who also sang for the band, began playing music with Quiroz in the seventh grade for something to do after school.” After a few years, they added the two West High members, changed the group's name, and started taking music-making a lit- tle more seriously. The band com- posed music and wrote lyrics for ap proximately 100 songs, but only seven or eight of the songs were perfected and ready to record. Hope said that putting words to music and making everything sound right wasn’t all that easy. Having everyone agree on the end result was even more difficult. “People have to be patient. It (being in a band) seems glamourous on TV,” Hope said, but there is a lot of hard work, pa- tience, and deter- mination involved in having a good band. Although rock bands did perform at school assemblies, Sudden Urge did not ask to appear. Their desire for perfection kept the members of Sud- den Urge from making many public appearances. We don't want to disappoint anybody, Hope said. “We really want to be good when we per- form. —Keith McBride HALF A BAND. Dave Quiroz and Bill Hope rehearse in Quiroz’s bedroom.

A disease for which a treatment and cure had not yet been develc ped? Jon Whitmer was born v Hth such a diseas c — Muscular Dy S:TC iphy (MD- • air! ■ s di. An 1 •ng M ' Ik: • . -1 . six V t i • . thou. WO: 0 ;st cluu.-.� , Whiimer's mother, Dancy, said. When firsl told that her son had MD, Mrs. Whitmer remembered, ‘'We felt shock — a disbelief that it was happening to us.” Knowledge of his disease didn’t seem to bother Whitmer a great deal. ”1 didn’t really feei anything. There was just some stuff I couldn’t do like a normal kid.” Whitmer, who walked until he was 8 years old, had to adapt to the physical limitations of a wheelchair when he was in the third grade. “He knows what it’s like to have it (walking and bik- ing) taken away, but he never says ‘quit “ Mrs. Whitmer said. “He’s really done a good job (of coping with his illness).” The family of six boys tried not to treat Whitmer as an invalid. “We’ve never treated him dif- ferently from his brothers — always like one of the boys,” Mrs. Whitmer said. “When they got spanked, he did, too. The only dif- ference was that I had to hold him up while 1 did it!” Ray Wells, or “Tatoo,” served as Whitmer’s aide and “hands” during his junior year. “And he gives out candy,” Whitmer added, referring to Wells’ generous handouts of sweets to Whitmer’s many friends who stop to greet him in the halls. Whitmer likes listening to music such as Van Halen and Sammy Hagar, building models, and playing music on his keyboard. He hasn’t let MD change his life. “He’s been to Disneyland, Mexico, Glacier Park, and has fished cn the Yellowstone.” Mrs. Whitmer said. The Whitmers, who have a great amount of “family spirit,” also have a personal motto at home. “It’s not how long you live,” Mrs. Whitmer explained, “It’s what you do while you’re here.” � ,—Karin Larson LISTENING WHILE HE WORKS. Jon Whitmer concentrates on American history while Ray Wells takes notes. Wells accompanied Whitmer to all of his classes and acted as Whitmer’s “hands.” Whitmer spent much of second quarter in the hospital because of his illness.

'. £ . tj' wmmgm Karate student learns self-defense can be fun Perserverence, self control, in- domitable spirit, modesty, and eti- quette is the motto for Taekwon do, a Korean form of Judo-Karate. Junior Amy Maheras claimed perserverence as most important. “Without perserve1 nee, ye won’t exc I,” she said. Mahera. first took an ir ierest : Taekwon :o whe . her oldei othei Andy was taking lessons and her mother encouraged her to learn self-defense. She joined Karate her fifth- grade year, but quit after two years. She began lessons again as a freshman and has continued to take instructions from Karlo Fujiwara. “I like the exer- cise and the discipline,” Maheras said, “and I am able to defend myself to a certain extent.” The sport in- volves the use of forms, kicks, and blocking techniques that aid in sparring, or controlled com- bat, according to Maheras. Par- ticipants gain flex- ibility, strength, and coordination. Maheras currently wears a green belt, but hopes to receive her first- degree blue belt shortly. Students acquire each new belt by passing a test on specific forms. The belt colors, in order by rank, are white, yellow, green, first and second-degree blue, first and second- degree brown, and twelve degrees of black. Maheras said she enjoys the feeling of accomplishment that she gets from her involvement in Taekwon-do. “It has helped me overcome my shyness and has given me con- fidence,” she said. Maheras recalled the most embar- rassing moment of her Karate ex- periences as, “When I was only a white belt, Mr. Fu- jiwara made me spar a black belt who was three times my size!” She has made many good friends, but admits, “There just aren't very many girls who join Karate. We need more girls to sign up. Although Taekwon-do takes up much of her study time, Maheras maintains a high grade point average. Maheras plans to continue with Taek won-doth rough the rest of high school and college years as long as she can convenient- ly take lessons. —Lisa Birkeland KA-AI!

Smith, sophomore, has played the violin for six years, begin- ning at the age of 9. ‘'Personal interest and the persuasion of Mr. Payne, my current school or- chestra director, is what got me started in orchestra,” Smith said. Smith chose the violin because he saw excellent violinists on televi- sion and wanted to be able to play like them. Stephen Payne, his orchesta instruc- tor, started Smith’s involvement in or- chestra at McKinley Elementary School. Smith continued at Lewis and Clark Junior High with Rebecca Jackman as his instructor. The teen musi- cian joined the Bill- ings Symphony in 1986 while still playing in the school’s orchestra program. Playing for the Billings Symphony is challenging,” Smith said. I prac- tice at least one hour a day besides practicing at school.” Smith par- ticipates in concerts for the Billings Symphony approx- imately every three weeks and has five rehearsals before each concert. 1 find it hard to schedule my homework and other extra- curricular activities, like school sports,” Smith said. “I wanted to join cross country but was unable to because of my involvement in the Billings Sym- phony.” Smith is also on the debate team, which requires much time and research. Although Smith has little time for school activities, he said, I wouldn’t give up being a member of the Bill- ings Symphony.” —Jeff LaSeur Jonathan Felton Kevin Felton Scott Field Robert Findon Nicole Finke Jason Fitzgerald David Foster Wendy Frank Stephanie Fuchs Michelle Gabaldon Allison Gage Joe Garcia Marcelino Garcia Shane Garcia Jerry Gibson Kelly Gibson Cherie Godak Otha Goff James Gorski Shawn Goulet Andy Green Wendy Green Kasey Grenfell Joyce Griffee Thad Grossi Whitney Grubbs Edward Gulick Louise Hahn JR Hall Kerri Hamilton Laurie Hampton Yosha Hanson Melissa Harrell Jami Harsha James Hawkins Candida Healy Gary Hein Angelia Hemphill Becky Hendricks Amy Hendrickson Jamie Hernandez Lee Hibl David Higgins Jennifer Hill Jenny Hill Michelle Hledik Jenny Hofferber Julie Hoffman Amy Hofmann Patrick Hogelin Kaonii Horton Melissa Howard Denver Howell Johnny Hutzenbiler Barry Ibach Laurie Jacobs Gary Jacobus Heather James Jackie Jeffery Eric Jelmeland Mark Jencks Blaine Jensen Angela Johnson Donald Johnson Erika Johnson Scott Johnson Tanya Johnson Raymond Jones Sheri Jones Edward Jorden Randy Kallen Bill Kathrein 46 People Sophomores Preston Keating Aaron Keller Amy Kelley Sharia Kelly Amanda Kendall Tina Kennedy Jodi Kerby Billie Jo Kern James Kern Dale Kilfoy Frederick Killsnight Kyle Kinn Stephanie Kipp Stacy Klark Bryan Knudsen Jeffrey Kober Gregory Koch Justin Kopp Students recall blunders, laugh at embarrassments Embarrassing moments were in- evitable. Have you ever forgotten what period you were in, and in the confu- sion, you almost went home? “This year 1 have the same teacher in fifth period as 1 had last year in sixth period,” sophomore Pamela Wegner said. “I was so used to leaving school after that class that when the bell rang, I got my coat. “I went to. the band room to leave, and Mr. Tangen (band teacher) was teaching a class. Then it hit me. 1 was supposed to be in health class!” Remember the time you fell asleep in clas But, worse yet, ymj woke up during the next period? ”1 was tired in first period and fell asleep,” an anonymous sophomore said. “When 1 woke up, the teacher was still lecturing. I looked around and realized that it was second period!” An ordinary em- barrassment ex- perienced by several students was falling down the hall stairs. This often happened while trying to im- press someone who was also on the stairs. “When my best friend slipped down the stairs, she grabbed on to me,” sophomore Jenny Edwards said. “I went down, too! The guy I liked was right behind us.” Students polled agreed that situa- tions like these re- quired a good sense of humor and a sound body to avoid injury. “This guy in my typing class was talking about this other guy and 1 said, ‘Oh, I know him. What a jerk ” sophomore Shane Garcia said. “It turned out that his girlfriend was sit- ting next to me.” Embarrassing moments didn’t always happen in school. The parking lot was another place for red faces to appear. “As 1 was driving out of the parking lot, I stalled my car on the hill. It rolled back and hit the car behind me,” sophomore Sam Ouzts said. From tripping on the last stair to walking in the wrong class, embar- rassing moments remained engraved only in the minds of the embarrassed. Luckily, others soon forgot. —Jennifer Solie Felton — Kopp 47 r Monty Kozlowitz Katie Kratochvil Adrian Krell Tom Krueger Gerald Lafontain Brandon Lahren Julie Lamonaca Teresa Lander Jason Lawson Nicole Leahy Kyle Lees Cristine Leischner Eileen Leslie Cody Lewis Lisa Lilly Mandy Livengood Jeff Louk Timothy Love Kladna Lunneberg Travis Lutter Karen Macaluso Shelly Maciel Marie Mager Jeff Martin Jose Martinez Tiffany Marvin Trent Matthews Danny Mattson Mike McChesney Donald McDonald Matt Mcelroy Troy McFate John McKee William McKeller Andrea McNulty Patrick McNulty Sarah McRae Brian Mehus Danna Meister Chris Menge Scott Meredith Brandon Mettler Scott Meyer Loren Miller Tom Miller Amelia Moncada Genna Moncada Joe Moncada Larry Monroy Terry Moody Angie Moore Laura Moore Trina Moore Bryan Morehouse Sarah Morgan Tracee Mueller Kellie Murphy Pat Neiss April Niles Jodi Norby Jason O’Brien Malan O’Donnell Dawn Old Elk Leslie Oster David Owen Jamey Painter Lyla Jo Palmer Bryce Papke Nicole Pasquarello Cheryl Pearson Chad Pendill Ron Pendill X 48 People Sophomores I 1 Shana Pennachi Jeff Pickens Kandi Pippin Heidi Pitts Stanna Plain Bull Wiliam Prouty Debbie Quiroz Toby Racki Travis Raggl Sarah Rail Shane Rambin Jenni Raksted Jose Rechtfertig Jason Redler Mara Reisman Dezi Restad Paul Reyna Mike Rynard PLAYBOOK PREVIEW. Kyle Ahlgren, Chance Carlson, Treg Silkwood, and Chad Pendill learn plays in special session with coach Pat Dolan after varsity practice. The four sophmores were the youngest players on the team. (Photo by Shannon Johnson) Because of the small number of seniors who turned out to play varsity football — similar to the crowd tur- nout at a typical game —- four sophomores were given a spot on the varsity football team. Sophomores Kyle Ahlgren, Chance Carlson, Chad Pen- dill, and Treg Silkwood admitted that they had gain- ed experience even though they didn’t see much game time, and that they were proud to have received a varsity letter while some juniors didn’t. It was a great experience because it helped me to become a better player for the future,” Pendill said. I have played football for four years (here and in Hardin). I like it, and hope to have a future in the sport. Having under- classmen on the varsity team show- ed that seniors had a low level of en- thusiasm about playing football. It really shows a weakness in the program that comes back to senior participa- tion, head coach Pat Dolan said. A program needs 24 to 28 good seniors to be a competitive team,” Dolan said. The sophomores who were brought up really helped in practice and as substitutes in games, and I think they’ll be fine athletes. Both Ahlgren and Pendill weighed over 200 pounds and added the needed bulk to the Bronc lineup.

Oh yeah, basketball, BKC, French Club, an English paper, a math test, and...Oh no! I have a lab due tomorrow, too.” Sound familiar? Sophomores found that their additional year at Senior High prompted addi- tional involvement, and made them wonder what hap- pened to their lazy days as freshmen. Fifty-three per- cent of the sophomores polled found themselves adding activities that they had not been involved in during their freshman year. Along with their extra-curricular ac- tivities, teachers gave them more responsibilities, not to mention more homework. Sixty- eight percent thought that their classes were much more difficult. “1 decided to go out and try new things,” Chelsea Aipperspach said. “I am involved in more activities this year because I want to meet new people and play a larger role here at Senior High. Another sophomore, Tina Busher, who added philharmonic or- chestra to her ac- tivities, said, “Or- chestra gives me a chance to go places and meet new peo- ple.” “1 hope to get a scholarship from a college in Col- orado,” she said. “I think the extra ac- tivities will help secure that.” Although many sophomores think that extra involve- ment in their school is worth it, there will always be those who feel differently. “We spend enough time in school as it is,” Kris Roseborough said, “without it taking up more of our per- sonal time.” Other students, however, thought that their added in- volvement would help them in the future. “Active involve- ment will help me in the real world,” Pat Hogelin said. Unsure of what to do her freshman year, Jodi Kerby didn't get involved; however, her next year was different. “I think Student Council is really fun. Although the extra activities in- terfere somewhat with schoolwork, I’m really glad I got involved,” an en- thusiastic Kerby replied. —Julie Askins z Rice — Zachmeier 51 7 Brandy Adams Hillary Agnew Cheryl Aguilar Jennifer Aleksich Chris Alexander Erica Anderson Kelly Anderson Melissa Anderson Troy Angvick Sabrina Ankrum Luke Archer Thomas Ausen Carrie Avery Ryan Avery Jennifer Bales Tina Bandernb Freshman biker rides high in Class A ch n uionship RIDING HIGH. Jeff Wickham laun- ches off a double jump at the Bill- ings Motorcycle Club grounds. Motorcross participants agree it takes more time than the average sport. (Photo submitted by Steve Wickham) Racing, riding, and jumping! That’s what freshman Jeff Wickham says motorcross com- petition is all about. Coaxed by his father and brother, Wickham started racing in sixth grade. For the past three years, he has been involved in the competitive cir- cuit, traveling throughout Mon- tana, South Dakota, and once to California. Freemont, Calif., was “definitely the most exciting trip for the young rider. Not only did he compete well but he came home with an all-around first place finish. However, for Wickham the feel- ing of victory is not a new one. During the past three years, the Mini Class B Champion has won between 40 and 50 races, and while this may have been enough for some, Wick :m was not conter This year he rd away with the li Class A champ n- ship, winning a total of 24 races. Last summer Wickham won $180 with a second place all- around finish at the Metra Arena Cross. To move from Class B to Class A, a minimum of 200 points is required. A rider can ac- cumulate points by winning races, or “motos” as they are called by the com- petitors. Two motos each day usually last about 20 minutes each, and the winner can gain a total of 50 points, “Sometimes the race gets long, and it’s worse toward the end of the day when the track gets rougher,” Wickham said. “You get tired, too.” But Wickham pays a price for success. Practice hours are long and hard for this champ. He usually rides at the Shepherd Racetrack or near his home in the South Hills. Practicing bet- ween two and three hours a day, three times a week is re- quired to perfect his talent, and Wickham doesn’t like that routine. “It’s a drag because you get burnt out toward the end of the season,” the 15-year-old said. Extending from March to December, the season is longer than most sports, but Wickham does not mind. Once it finally ends, I’m kind of relieved, but after about a month, 1 start to miss it,” he said, “probably because it’s something I love to do.” —Kim Garrison People Freshmen - ■ ■ ■ — z Jerri Bargar Michael Barth Lisa Baum Eldena Bear Don’t Walk Chad Beck Brandi Bedwell Alvin Belgarde Kimberly Bell Stacey Bel!

This dream is a goal of freshman musicians Matt Lawton, Micheal Guiles, and Matt Keck. Lawton, Guiles, and Keck met last year at Lewis and Clark Junior High. The fact that they were all friends with similar interests spurred their idea j of forming a band to combine the ideas and sounds of punk music. Because Billings doesn't have such concerts, they have to supply themselves with their favorite music. When two more members from other schools, Matt Sauer, Billings Cen- tral, and Kyle Cunn- ingham, Lewis and Clark Junior High, joined the band, the group began practicing every other night in Guile's garage. The five members of the band, along with help from BSHS freshmen Trevor Cunningham and Isaac Pruett playing guitar, made one recording “just to hear what we sounded like ' Cun- ningham said. The boys were making recordings to send to MRR (Maximium Rock and Roll), a music magazine that runs ads listing the names of bands who send in tapes. Anyone can buy the tapes inexpensively' from this list, which gives young bands recognition. The group hopes to eventually send recordings to record companies. Although the band wants to play on the road for a year after high school, they all have intentions of going to college. “We want to leave Billings because there is no scene here,’’ Lawton said. Guiles sets his goals at making it in a band and pur- suing his talent on the guitar in col- lege. He has a definite advantage having taken guitar lessons that taught him to play by ear. Lawton, however, learned to read music when he took lessons. He also plans to take his musical talents to college. He wants to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston, Mass. � —Kara Sumner SHAKING THE WALLS. Band members Mike Guiles and Matt Keck practice to a fast beat.

People, places, things interest yount, r evelers New places, in- teresting people, and unique shop- ping experiences are all a part of the adventure of travel- ing in Europe. Freshmen Becky Marble and Jennifer Aleksich experienc- ed that adventure last summer. Marble and her family traveled through England, France, Switzerland, and Italy for two months. Marble enjoyed all of the places she visited, but she lik- ed Switzerland the best. “Switzerland was the neatest because it’s really green and the Alps are beautiful,” Marble said. “I also liked France because it's like the CIS., but on the Mediterra- nean it is a lot warmer.” Aleksich, who also traveled with her parents to Italy, Yugoslavia, Franc and England, nar ed England as he favorite country. “England was tht best because the people were really nice and they made us feel welcome,” Aleksich said. “The scenery was beautiful, too.” Both Marble and Aleksich enjoyed shopping in Euro- pean countries. “The department stores we went to in Paris were big, but they had the same things the stores in the CJ.S. have, Mar- ble said. “The smaller stores in Switzerland and England had small gift items, but they were expensive.” “We went to anti- que and jewlery stores along with clothing stores,” Aleksich said. “I bought clothes and perfume in London and wool in Yugoslavia. Most of the items were real- 1 cheap or about t -e same price as i- the CJ.S.” Marble and her family were invited to travel in Europe by Olivier Faine, an exchange student from France, through the Nacel program. “Olivier stayed with us the summer of 1986,” Marble said. Both Marble and Aleksich agreed that traveling in Europe was an educational experience. “Read a little about the country you’re going to so you know what to expect,” Aleksich said. “While you’re there, try to meet the people and en- joy the culture of the country.” “Take lots of money and plan to go shopping 'Mar- ble suggested. “Ex- pect to have a great time, because you will.” —Peg Tipton People Freshmen Russel Kurtz Kyle Lachapelle Kris Lachenmaier Carie LaFranier Marty Laib Kim Lane Julia Larsen Carrie Larson Nancy Larson Del Laverdure Matthew Lawton Kristy Ledesma Henry Leikam Michel Leroy Bobby Lester Scotty Limberhand Randall Lionshows Raney K.

Parents seemed to be thinking of more original names for their children. “I was named Crystal because it means transparent or clear, Crystal Luna said, “and my last name means ‘moon.’ However original the names were, many were traceable to sources such as the Bible or foreign countries. “They (my parents) named me Chandler while we were living in England,” Chandler Beck said. “In England, Chandler is a popular name.” Nicknames were attached to almost every name. When the name was unusual, the nicknames were even more unique. “In the first grade, some of my friends called me Zacky- poo,’ ” Zachary Lowe said. It didn’t bother me then, but now I realize how dumb it was.” Students with original names rare- ly suffered from a case of mistaken identity. When someone says my name,” Spencer Williams said, “1 know they are talking to me and not to someone else.” Most freshmen agreed that unusual names were a nice break from the ordinary. “People say my name is really in- teresting,” Mimi Madole said. “Others just smile and say it is 'unusual' or ‘un- common.' Even though most freshmen thought their names were dif- ferent. students beleived the names matched their personalities. “I feel my name fits me,” Mandy (Jr- baska said. “Maybe I’ve just grown to fit my name.” Although it was easier to remember an original name, people often mispronounced it. “Having a dif- ficult name can be embarrassing,” Giano Cromley said, “because few people can pro- nounce it correctly, and I always have to correct them.” Freshmen said that the advantages of having an original name outweighed the disadvantages and preferred their original names to the more popular ones. “1 like my name because it’s uncom- mon and unique to me,” Camille Neiss said. —Bambi Stuber WHAT’S IN A NAME?

(Photo submitted by Marge Eliason) Teachers share heartwarming Teachers who use stories of past ex- periences add in- terest and realism to their class lectures. Whether they are funny, embarrass- ing, or emotional, students agreed the stories were all memorable. Stories vary with the teacher, but all of them are unique and interesting because of the storyteller. At least once in a teacher’s career, he has taught a stu- dent who suddenly feels ill and has to make a mad dash for the bathroom. But history teacher Robert Staley’s stu- dent didn't quite make it out of the classroom. “The funniest thing that ever hap- pened to me was a day that a student threw up in class and rushed out the door,” Staley said. “He got the door knob full on his way out and then closed the door. This was also the last peroid of the day. “When the bell rang nobody wanted to touch the door so we waited until he returned 15 minutes later. It was the first time my sixth- period class volunteered to stay after school.” For Carol Sim- mons, habitual ac- tions in class caus- ed her considerable embarrassment. “Teachers exhibit many mannerisms in front of students,” Simmons said. “If I am not throwing my arms wildly to emphasize a point or pacing around the room, I am toying with a pencil or sheets of notes. “One day a stapler was handy behind my back on the top of the front of the desk. As I discussed the background of Steinbeck, 1 played with the stapler behind my back; and when 1 reached a point to em- phasize, I stapled my finger. “After much laughter by the students as well as my own embarrass ed chuckles at my stupidity, I had to ask a student to help me escape from my stupid trap.” After his embar- rassing incident, Gary Dettwiler , study hall teacher, never bought cheap pants again. “My first year and only second week of school, a student came up to me after I had taken role and in- formed me that the back of my pants were ripped,” Dett- wiler said. “I was wondering why 1 was having such a hard time taking role. Ninety-nine percent of the student body was laughing. “Thank heavens sewing class met down the hall, and Gordon Schlabs had a pair of sweat pants 1 was able to borrow.” If a student ever falls asleep in Adrian Wegner’s, English class, he she will probably remember not to dp it again”. “A junior girl fell asleep during discussion in my Frontier Literature class. We had to shake her to get her to wake up, and she awoke with a start,” Wegner said. “What’s wrong?” she asked. “I told her that she had just been paged over the in- tercom and was to report to Joe Cross’ office immediately. The class played along as she asked her friends if she had indeed been paged. “She reported to the main office and asked to see Mr. Cross (the associate principal). She took a seat in his office, and she and Mr. Cross sat star- ing at each other, each waiting for the other to begin “Cross had no idea why she had come to see him. Finally, he asked, hat do you ' ant? he girl olie- that he had jec er to his of- en he in- mc her that he d r paged her, re ized that she had been trick- ed and asked if she could leave. “Cross, using his administrative in- stinct, asked her how she could have made such a terri- ble mistake.

(Submitted photo) Foreign Feelings COME 4 vU AGAIN When most exchange students returned from their foster countries, it was too soon to share their feelings with others who had never ex- perienced such an adventure. However, they loved sharing their experiences with those who had also been abroad. Instead of the regular routine of answering questions, several AFS students who returned to BSHS in January rapped about their foreign experiences with Cathy Coan, who spent the previous summer in Japan. “It’s everything together. I'm still going with the experience. It lasts even after you get back.” — Scott Rich, Bolivia Boarding a plane, American family waving from the window. When the plane touches ground again, it will be Australia, Bolivia, Uruguay, Venezuela — a year in another country. “The hardest thing was open- ing my bedroom door the first morning and walking down the stairs.” — Heather Moss, Venezuela Being integrated into a culture, a city, a family. Time and experiences knit people closer and closer — a gradual bond forms. The strangers become family. “The first time you feel like part of the family is when they actually discipline you.” — Rich________________ A separate culture has separate values, different at- titudes. Learning is emphasized again and again. “There were a lot of racist jokes and I just didn’t find them funny. So I just sat there. I didn’t come down on them or anything.” — Shane Atwell, Australia Last minute plans, fears, and, above all, sadness. The year comes to an end. “It just seems like you’ve got so little time to do everything, see everything.” — Rich Again the airplane — what was unknown is known, what was known is distant. Sadness fills the gaps once occupied by family, friends. ‘‘I felt like I should cry, and I wanted to cry, but I wasn’t, so I didn't force myself. They started walking off, and then they came back, and we all started crying.” — Atwell Return “home” — A numb- ness takes hold of feelings, thoughts, emotions. What changes are apparent? “We were sitting on the airplane in the very last row, smoking like crazy. I had Scott’s hand. We were sitting side by side, in Billings, thinking, ‘Let’s just not get off. What are they going to think of us?’ We were so nervous. It was harder com- ing home than going away.” — Jennifer McGrody, Uruguay Using new knowledge, new outlooks in a new situation. “Imagine Billings as another country. It’s impossible. When you start labeling things as bet- ter or worse, you lose the con- cept of culture. Compare but don’t label.” — Atwell There’s no one event that makes or breaks an exchange experience. Life continues both at home” and at home. Part of the charm of the ex- perience is knowing that you’ve got one year and it’s over. Wasn’t it worth it? The pain you felt.” —Moss O C.

Even though there were only four assemblies, the spirit was contagious. Because of the lack of organization and en- thusiam from students, the assemblies were cut back. However, this may have helped because they all ended on a positive note. A favorite was the SOS (Save Our Spirit) Assembly that cheerleaders sponsered to boost the over- all morale of the student body. This centered around a “dead” football player who was killed by lack of spirit and had to be cheered back to life. “1 thought the SOS was great. It really raised the spirit and helped us have a better attitude,” junior cheerleader Laura Muhs said. “In the skit we tried to involve a member from every sport.” The annual faculty assembly was another well-liked one. Faculty members did imitations of the band, majorettes, wrestlers, West High students, and the Church- Chat Lady who appeared on the television program “Saturday Night Live. The assembly, which was preceded by winter sports, was performed the day before the Senior- West basketball game. Student Life z “The assembly really pepped me up,” junior Lynn Lutter said. “It also helps to know the teachers are behind us.” Most students agreed it was the quality, not the quantity , that counted. “The assemblies went well, over all,” senior Melissa Gallagher said. “The amount did not mat- ter.” — Jennifer Solie SITTING PRETTY.

IVLuAiCJ SIBLINGS MAKE Having a brother or sister in class is a situation that most people don’t have the chance to experience. Eight Senior High students — Hillary and Matt Agnew, Dave and Becky Hendricks, Jason and Erica Faber, and Chris and Brian Mehus — have had the opportunity this year in Sym- phonic Band. Although some of the students felt that having a sibl- ing in band didn’t make a dif- ference,” as both Chris, senior, and Brian, sophomore, remark- ed, many of the siblings felt that it did. Because of him (Matt), I’ve met a lot of people,” Hillary, freshman, said. I really like being in band with Erica because she’s older than I am and now I feel we’re on the same level, Jason, sophomore, said. 1 feel like he (Dave) is wat- ching to see how I'm doing so he can report, Becky, junior, remarked. Some of the students admit- ted that having their sister or brother in class did affect their behavior. Most of the time I forget that Hillary’s in the same class, but when I do, 1 stop goofing around, Matt, senior, said. 1'm a little more mellow in class than 3 would usually be, Dave, senior, remarked. All of the sisters and brothers agreed that they did not com- pete in band and cited different reasons for starting to play their instrument. I really like music and always wanted to play the flute, Hillary, who started to play the flute in fifth grade, said. “1 swit- ched from flute to bassoon in seventh grade because my teacher thought I’d be good at it. I started to play trumpet in fifth grade, Dave remarked. 1 guess it was the ‘in’ instrument at the time. ‘‘I don’t really remember why 1 started playing the sax, Brian, a saxaphone player since seventh grade, admitted. “1 knew some people who played sax and it sounded fun. I started playing because my dad wanted me to, trumpet player Chris remarked. Overall, the students agreed that having their sister or brother in band was just like having a friend in class. —Karin Larson “...running down the hotel hall in Bozeman in my underwear with Adam Weissman — and then being locked out of my room.” — Patrick Gallagher “...having ice thrown on my bed by some majorettes in Bozeman on a pep band trip. I had to sleep in it all night.” — Steve Sukin “... in the mid- dle of a concert when Brian Bell, who sits behind me, started talking really loud right in the middle of a song. At first 1 thought so- meone was real- ly lost with the music.” —Julie Askins ._____ Bands TWO HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE. Peer tutors CiCi Borth and Bethann Johnson often shared teaching methods. National Honor Society sponsored the tutoring pro- gram which prompted peers'to assist each other with dilficult subjects. (Photo by Steve Moss) “National Honor Society is a pretty good organization. The tutoring program taught the tutors to be responsible by making sure the students are getting their work done.” — Amy Combs Homework. It isn’t tough when. . TAKE What does a new adviser, a gifted student, and a struggling student have in common? They’re all part of National Honor Society’s tutoring program. National Honor Society (NHS) has been tutoring for two years; however, first- year adviser Carol Simmons said, “This is the year it’s really worked because more NHS members are interested in participating. “Each NHS chapter across the country is required to do an annual service project, Sim- mons said, “and Senior High's chapter decided to tutor once again.” Of the 56 members, nearly half served as peer tutors. “Those members not involv- ed with tutoring are so busy with school activites, jobs, and trying to keep up in their own classes that they don’t have the time to help, Simmons said. Seniors Chris Mehus and Bethann Johnson found the time to tutor five students two to three times a week during first semester. Tutors were chosen by the counselors for students who needed help in a particular sub- ject. The tutor had to decide which class or classes that he could tutor with ease. “The counselors have a file of the NHS members and chose a member who worked well with other students and who was will- ing to sacrifice his time and energy, Simmons said. Mehus and Johnson said that most of the students they tutored weren't really failing, but just needed a little help with basic concepts. They tutored in chemistry, physical science, geometry, algebra, world history, and French and averag- ed about five hours of tutoring per week. Freshman Spencer Williams needed assistance with French Academics z OVER and Johnson offered to help. “She (Johnson) really helped out a lot,” Williams said. “It’s good to be tutored by someone who understands the subject better because she has already been through the class.” At first, the students are in- secure and afraid to tell you their problems,” Mehus said, “but the similarities in age and language add to the students' opening up and letting you know exactly what they’re hav- ing troubles with.” The peer tutors sometimes met the students at the students’ homes — thus friend- ships developed between the two. “The only requirements need- ed to be a tutor are being a member of NHS, a senior, the willingness to perform a service, and giving up some spare time,” mons said. � — A.

The cry was heard throughout third floor hallways on April 21 as the physics classes determined which “mouse car” was the best. Two weeks before the races, physics teachers Mike Jablin and Duane Diekman presented their students with mousetraps and said ‘good luck.’ The students were to discover how far they could make homemade cars go in a straight line, powered only by the spring of a mousetrap. “I wanted the students to solve a problem on their own without help from me or anyone else,” Jablin said. “It was also in- teresting to see that students who do well academically don’t always do well on this, while students who struggle otherwise had no problems.” Senior Matt Agnew’s car traveled 71 tile squares along third floor, breaking the previous record of 54 squares. Agnew used records for the wheels of his car. Although some cars didn’t even go one square, the students had a good time building them. However, the mousetraps were used for other purposes. Senior Jason Diegert wired a set trap to senior Kathi Larson’s feet during first hour, preventing her from leaving her chair. 'I Can’t Drive 55’ was our car’s theme,” senior Rocky Con- nell announced. “Yeah,” senior Dave Wagner said, “Our car was an accident, but it actually turned out to be one of the better cars.” As the students laughed and joked about their mouse cars, other lab stories abounded. “1 remember when we did the lab on the football field,” senior Karin Larson said. “Lori Huvaere was running down the field and just wiped out. She slid the rest of the way.” Senior Lori Huvaere summed up everyone's thoughts when she said, “Everyday in this class is fun!” � — Julie Askins ON YOUR MARKS.

OF MUSIC A change of pace was in order for senior and junior cellists Jake Cormier and Sam Smith, and junior violists, Gabe Plank and Marni Tooley, who were chosen to participate in “A Weekend for Strings,” Nov. 6 to 8 in Greely, Colo. Carter Brey, a young up- and- coming world class cellist, in- spired many young string players during the music seminar that he hosted in Col- orado. Students found his easy- going but professional techni- que refreshing. ‘‘It was a very beneficial to ex- perience the college at- mosphere. He was excellent,” Plank said. “It was the first time 1 have listened to a professional musician. I’m glad I went.” Tooley said that she enjoyed listening to Brey and ap- preciated the tips he gave students to improve their musical skills. “I finally got a chance to use what I have learned these past years,” she said. “It was a break out of my old routine and 1 had a lot of fun. ”He wasn’t an one of those old musicians with flying grey hair. He was young and incredi- ble,” Tooley commented. Smith obtained an opportuni- ty to play for Brey. “I didn’t know about it until that day and didn’t play as well as I could have ' Smith said, “but it’s not every day one gets to play for Carter Brey. His play- ing was genuine and I’ve never heard anyone play like him.” Cormier noted Brey’s relaxed attitude and said that it inspired him to relax while playing. “It taught much about at- titude,” Cormier said. “He wasn’t a bit self- conscious. He knew he would play well, so he did. The program was in- teresting and intense.” The Billings string players were the only Montana students at the Rocky Mountain Region Festival. “Their great efforts and skills are to be commended,” Stephan Payne, Senior High or- chestra director, said. All Montana string players had an opportunity to apply for “A Weekend For Strings.” A sample was sent to be critiqued before selections were made. Good tone and technique were the keys to being accepted to participate in the program. The students were responsi- ble for their own transportation, food, and hotel accomodations. —Angie Madel “I needed my music credit so I took or- chestra, and I found out a lot about music and had a lot of fun ’ —Jennifer Hill “We get to travel and meet interesting peo- ple.

STUDENTS OTHERS Taping ankles, evaluating in- juries, and helping to rehabilitate injured athletes pro- gressed into many hours of needed service in the athletic department for five girls. Kari Guldborg, health teacher and head trainer, who had been taking care of injuries in the previous years, decided to train a group of students to help out in the training room. Niki Ranes, Danelle McLuskie, Cindy Frank, Peggy Tipton, and Kris Peterson became the first student trainers of the school. They would be responsible for learn- ing different techniques for tap- ing and evaluating injuries. Students chosen were involv- ed in sports and a few became trainers because of injuries that prevented them from playing out the season. “Last year during basketball season, 1 injured my knee in a game. When I was in rehabilita- tion, I started helping others with their injuries, senior Peter- son said. The trainers attended all of the games and practices throughout the sports seasons, including football, basketball, wrestling, and track. Each girl was expected to attend at least 25 events in order to receive a varsity letter, which was only one of the benefits of being a trainer. Because most of the girls in- volved planned to major in physical therapy or sports medicine, they said that the ex- perience as a trainer was wor- thwhile. The program made it possible for them to apply for scholarships, and, in some cases, the girls were told that their high school hours could be used as a credit toward a degree. “Because of this job, 1 may be able to get a job this summer working in a physical therapy office, junior McLuskie said. Guldborg taught the students how to evaluate injuries by ask- ing the athlete questions about the injury and taking the infor- mation back to Guldborg. The student would then advise the injured person about what exer- cises to do and chart their progress. Trainers agreed that at first the athletes were uncertain about other students helping them, but they eventually gain- ed respect. At first the athletes don’t listen to anyone but Miss Guldborg, but then they realize that we’re there to help them and that we know what we’re do- ing, senior Ranes said. For a couple of students, ex- perience didn’t end there. McLuskie and Frank were able to learn more about sports medicine by attending an advanced- student training camp the summer before their senior year. The camp was paid for by the Bronc Booster Club. —Janna Birkeland z REHAB IN ACTION. Danelle McLuskie helps Jim Smith build up the muscles in his leg after a knee operation.

Although Kirk Gustafson seems to be daydreaming, he is actual- ly hard at work watching the hallways for potential vandals. Gustafson and 13 other students were recruited to help monitor the halls. (Photo by Chris Chakos) i Division of duties... STUDENTS STUDENTS They were not “thrown out” of class nor were they devising new ways to “skip out” of study hall. The students in the hallway corners were actually helping the School District save money. Hall monitors are not new. Senior High had always had monitors but because of the budget this year, hired help could not be afforded. Study hall students were recruited to watch the halls for vandals. Study hall teacher Gary Dettwiler and Dean of students Duane Ahlgren instituted the volunteer idea. Senior Kirk Gustafson joking- ly put it, “I'm supposed to en- sure safety and justice to my fellow colleges’ lockers.” Dettwiler looked for students with certain characteristics such as “good attendence, pleasing personality, and good study habits’’ when he chose the monitors. But if the students were caught misusing their privileges, “they would be pull- ed back into study hall.” The students did enjoy the freedom alloted to them in the halls. They were allowed to eat and talk or walk around, if they didn't get caught. Senior Jackie Fastenau used some of her time to talk with junior Tyler Williams, the other monitor on her floor. “It’s the only time 1 get to see him since he’s a junior,” Fastenau said. “Since my new- founded job, I’m finding it harder to sleep than when I was in study hall,” Gustafson said, “—too much socializing!” Some students were affected by too much talking. Junior Stacie Klundt quit monitoring after participating in it for first and part of second semester. ”1 quit because I never studied. I thought my grades would improve if I went back in- to study hall,” Klundt said. “It’s noisier and people stop to talk to you,” Williams said. He also added that he would have gone back to study hall if “my grades started failing.” Students weren’t the only ones who were disruptive in the halls. Sophomore Chad Pendil! said, “I always joke with the teachers and ask them for hall passes.” Being a hall monitor wasn’t for everyone. The student had to be willing to give up his time to benefit the school. “It’s not a high- paying job, but it’s fun,” Gustafson said. —Kim Garrison SERIOUS STUDYING.

A ([tM IN ITSELF Daydreaming, whispering, studying, sleeping. The only unusual activity of study hall students was sweeping. Study hall students volunteered to help out with the litter problem by sweeping the halls after the lunch periods. Different students used study hall for different reasons. Kids with after-school-jobs used the time to do homework. Some needed another class, and others just wanted free time. Whatever the reason, there were 300 kids enrolled in a study hall, and study hall ad- viser Gary Dettwiler said that 75% of the students used the time to their benefit. “I work after school so this is where I can get my homework done,” junior Melanie Roth said. Junior Bruce Albright echoed Roth's reason. Because I have a job, 1 have to keep up on my homework during school,” Albright said. Other students used the time for work but not necessarily in the cafeteria. “I usually go to the Math Resource Center and get help with my Algebra III,” senior Sol Meuhardt said. “Often I need to work on my clay and jewelry projects so I go to the Ceramics room,” freshman Bryce Shotwell said. However study hall wasn’t all work. At the end of the year, the school treated everyone involv- ed with sweeping or monitoring the halls to a pizza party. Although study hall proved beneficial for many students, some dropped in order to do other things. “I had a study hall first semester, but I dropped to become a library aide,” freshmen Brandi Bedwell said. “I dropped study hall because it was boring and I wanted something to do,” Jen Strouth, a junior who helped Jean Labar in the Activities Office, said. Students took the class to work, but also got to know Dett- wiler,the man synonymous with study hall. He had been the teacher for three years and many of the students liked him. “He acts like a tough guy, but he’s really soft underneath,” Meuhardt said. “He’s a nice guy,” Roth said. Some students did think a few of his rules were unnecessary. “You don't get to talk or anything,” Shotwell said, “but he does let us leave the room if we have to go somewhere.” “I don't see the point in no eating or drinking in here. It doesn’t make sense,” Meuhardt said. Study hall met in the school cafeteria. Dettwiler justified his study hall rules by his belief that students who sign up for a study hall truly need the time to study. “I know there’s kids, that think I’m very, very strict, but there’s times 1 worry about them,” Dett- wiler said, “ — how they act, and how they’re doing on their homework and grades.” � —Kim Garrison SPIC AND SPAN.

Students sold their creations in art sales that were held twice a year in the main foyer of the school. 1 took most of my work home ’ junior Megan Cox said, “but I also priced and sold some of it in the art sale.” Students were given a schedule of assignments to complete for the semester on the first day of class and the rest was up to them. ‘‘1 took Ceramics because 1 thought it would be an easy class, junior Michele Enstrom said. “It was harder then I ex- pected it to be, though, because 1 had to work all hour to get my assignments done. Ceramics students were fre- quently spotted walking through the halls with discolored spots on their clothing from the clay. Often they did not have enough time remaining in class to wash it out. 1 got really messy when 1 worked on the wheel, junior Rhonda Guenthner said, “so I tried not to wear nice clothes on those days. I’d usually leave class wearing a different color then when I started. Ceramics had its share of dangers. If students weren’t careful, even harmless aprons could turn into lethal weapons. One time I was working on the wheel and I had forgotten to tie my apron, junior Holly Miller said. One of the strings on my apron got caught on the wheel and each time the whe went around, my face was pul ed closer and closer to it.” Potters learned more the just how to throw pots, bowls and cups on the wheel.

Last year a decision was made to change the traditional Varsity Choir of boys and girls mixed to the Advanced Girls Choir of only girls for one semester. Most students thought the majority of the good male singers had graduated last year,” junior Leah Haney said of the change. “The ones coming in were not as well prepared. Senior Nikki Boyer said, “The girls’ voices were more developed and could sound bet- ter.” Whatever the reason was, the Academics z decision had been made.

At first the girls were against the boys coming back,” Haney said. “1 did not think they could keep up with us.” Usually the Varsity Choir had a full year to get their show GO? together, but with the new changes, they only had one semester. “It is going to be a challenge,” junior Sandy Perey said, “but I think with some effort we can do it.” Senior Sue Habener not only thought that the boys would bring back a fuller sound but that it would also make the choir closer. “1 wish the we could be as close as we were last year, Habener said. We were like one big family. Maybe the Varsity choir will bring that back. — Kari Koch NEVER A DULL MOMENT. Leah Haney Tanya Paul, and Anne Steel manage to find something amusing in Varsity Choir.

EXPRESS INTELLECT “Mrs. Cole! I have dibs on you next!” This was a familiar cry in Room 206 during third and fifth period. The Bronc Express staff relied heavily on adviser Judy Cole's help and insight while working on the paper. Senior Phil Stephens said, “Mrs. Cole is the backbone and she makes Bronc Express fun while still putting out an ex- cellent publication. This thought was echoed throughout the staff. Co-editor Sue Skaggs, senior, said that she joined Bronc Express because “Mrs. Cole was such an influence to me my sophomore year.” Skaggs also had another reason for joining. “1 thought it would be a good excuse to meet upperclassman I admired from afar — I mean with interviewing and all.” Co-editor John Hanson, senior, joined because I have a firm belief in the power of newspapers, both student and corporate.” But the editors both have their share of responsibility, too. “Sue and I are ultimately ible for the paper as a Hanson said. We pret- ty much oversee everything that goes on, from checking up on ads to laying out the paper.” The staff is made up of 17 junior and 27 senior writers. Before school started, they spent three days at a camp in hopes of getting to know one another better and learning skills which they would find useful. “Former editors gave talks and helped us in workshops,” Skaggs said. “We also exchang- ed a lot of ideas.” Camp gave me a chance to meet the incoming staff members,” senior Brooke Warberg said. Camp was the best part of the whole year. Some people didn’t like it, but most people loved it. Stephens jokingly added, All us intellectuals out in the wilderness — it was just great.” Most of the Express students thought that being on the newspaper staff not only was important in school but also held a place in their futures. Journalism could be a possibility in my life,” junior Jason Foote said. I would like to write for a major sports magazine.” JuniorTamara Hanson wants to either write novels or write for a paper. It’s a great experience,” Skaggs said.

Students survive. . . AiYEAR v FROM HOME They loved the formal dances and pep assemblies, their foster families, and learning English. They didn't like gossip, lear- ning slang, and American food. But, all of the foreign ex- change students agreed it would be difficult to leave the United States in June. Most of the students found adapting to life with an American family difficult at times, and the most difficult adaptation was eating American food. “I hate the food,” commented Dan Knezevic of Yugoslavia and Petra Edvardsson of Sweden. Another major difference bet- ween America and their homelands seemed to be the way friendships were established. “If you say something to so- meone, you can count on it that the whole school will know about it the next day,” Anders Heimvik of Morway said. “It’s easy to get to know a lot of people, but it’s really hard to make close friends with the peo- ple here,” Ricardo Cuellar from Chile said. “When you want to have a real friend, that's when it’s hard,” Edvardsson added. Although the exchange students said that they were in- cluded in all of the school ac- tivities, the most enjoyable oc- casion for them, they agreed, were the formal dances at Senior High. “We had a great time” was the general concensus of the group pertaining to the dances. Homesickness was not a real problem, but students did miss their countries. “What I miss most about my home (Sweden) is my friends, my family, and the food,” Ed- vardsson said. “Mostly what I miss about Yugoslavia is the warm climate. Montana is too cold for me,” Mangovic said. Although the foreigners miss- ed their homelands, most planned to return to America in the near future to renew ac- quaintances and see other part of the United States. “1 plan on returning to Mon- tana in a couple of summers to see some of my closer friends,” Edvardsson said. “Also, Billings is the only place I know. “I want to come back just to go to Disneyland, blew York Ci- ty, and the other famous places, Heimvik said. Knezevic and Mangovic plan to attend college in America for at least one year. “For the first time, I have two sisters,” Cuellar said about the Boggios, his host family. 1 didn’t say I like it or dislike it, but it is a good experience.” Some other customs practic- ed by their foster families bothered the students. “They put a curfew on me, which was kind of hard to get used to because I’ve never had one before,” Cuellar said. “Also, one of the rules they have is that we (the kids) can only watch one hour of TV on a school night. 1 really don’t care too much, because I don’t watch that much TV anyway.” “They're neat people,” Mangovic said about her host family, the Ericksons. “1 like my little brother and sister, but they are small children and I can’t really communicate with them because they are so young.” “It was kind of hard to get us- ed to being the younger sister,” Edvardsson said. “I’ve always been the oldest, so it was dif- ficult.” Another difficulty for the ex- change students was learning to speak and comprehend English. “It was difficult to pick up on the slang used all the time,” Mangovic commented. “I did not understand it at all in the beginning.” “It was difficult to understand English, because here everyone speaks so fast,” Cuellar said. “I've had six years of English, so it wasn’t too hard to learn,” Edvardsson said “1 have to think now wh n I speak Swedish, bee : 1 peak English so mm . tov. The foreigne : kt j their real families ■� e erage about two to month. •:r t: nes a They are ant, .«siting going home, but are sad to leave everything they have experienc- ed the past year in Billings. “The perfect thing would be to bring your friends and fami- ly here with you...to join both things together you love so much,” Cuellar said. “You don’t realize how much people mean to you until you leave them and begin to miss them,” Edvardsson said. “It’s kind of mixed feelings..,1 like Yugoslavia more, because the people are more friendly,” Mangovic said. The group said they are going to miss all the “spirit things associated with school; the assemblies, cheerleaders, ma- jorettes, dances, and all the other things so easily taken for granted by American students. The schools in their homelands are much more difficult, accor- ding to the exchange students. Some of them have up to 14 subjects in a six day week that includes Saturday. Cuellar and Edvardsson, the youngest of the group, have one to three years left of high school. Most of them will be leaving for their homes in June, but are anticipating the next time they can visit the United States. Aaron Arredondo Academics SPANISH SECRETS.

It’s THE BUSINESS Writing captions, writing stories, ordering pictures, lay- ing out a double page spread and proofing to make sure there are no mistakes. Many of the students who joined yearbook thought that it was an “easy A” class. Much to their surprise, they found themselves working after school, attending night meetings at least once a week, and coming to school on the weekends. “I think the worst part about yearbook was how much time 1 spent here on the weekends and at night while my friends were out having a good time,” junior Jennifer Solie said. For others, it wasn’t the time spent in the classroom that was hard, but the difficulty of the task. “1 think that determining the correct size of your headline is the hardest part for me,” senior Tina Michael said. Once a double- page spread was assigned to a staff member, that member had to complete a story, select pictures, write cap- tions, and finish a layout in one month. However, all the hard work that was put into completing the yearbook had its rewards as well as its disadvantages. The 1988 Yearbook, Be Your Own Bronc, received the Silver Crown Award from Columbia Scholastics Press Association. A few students from the year- book staff along with members from the Express staff were given the opportunity to fly to San Francisco to compete in a nationwide write- off contest.

ROAD The Career Center: a place to start your future or to take a two-hour break. For many, the Career Center was a place to tinker around with old cars, electricity, and play with children. For others, it was a stepping stone to the future. Aaron Keller, a sophomore who took radio broadcasting, said, ‘‘1 came out to the Career Center for a change from school. I wanted something dif- ferent.” Keller discovered that he real- ly enjoyed the class. I'd like to get into radio after high school, maybe be a D.J. in Portland, Oregon,” he said. The Career Center was an im- mediate help for some. ‘‘Right now I work at Peter’s House of Music repairing elec- tronic equipment, such as amplifiers, Trevor LaChapelle, a senior who took Electronics 2. said.

The Career Center’s enrollment for the year was 721 students compared to last year’s enrollment of 1014 students. “I think that the reason for the drop in enrollment is because the students don’t receive a full credit for their classes,” Jody Dringman, a teacher of child care at the Career Center, said, “or that graduation re- quirements are stricter this year.” School District 2 is attemp- ting to save and possibly im- prove the Career Center. Students planning to attend the Career Center next fall will be given three choices: a full day, periods 1-6; a half day, periods 1-4; and a part day, periods 5 and 6. Although students would now be able to attend the Career Center for a full day, this may not improve the enrollment. “If I had to make a choice bet- ween staying at the Career Center or Senior for a full day,” Jason Baxter, sophomore, said, “I’d stay at Senior.” ”1 think it’s stupid,” Debbie McKean, junior, said, “because you go to Senior not only for Senior, but for your friends.” Many students may find it dif- ficult to be separated from their friends for a full day, but others are willing to make the sacrifice. I’d go because you’re not wasting an hour in transporta- tion,” Trevor LaChapelle said. “The full-day students atten- ding the Career Center will still be involved with the home- school activities,” Joe Cross, Senior High’s Vice Principal said. ‘The buses will arrive at the home school by 3 p.m.” If all goes well for the Career Center this year, there’s a possibility of it becoming a separate high school. —Julie Askins and Kristen Roller J “Taking the electronics course at the Career Center has really helped me with my job.”—Trevor LaChapelle “You go to Senior not on- ly for Senior, but for your friends.”—.

I'm simply recording things the way they are,” she often said to students who protested when they arrived to class late. Any student who knew English teacher Phyllis Smith was familiar with her quick wit and great sense of humor. “The funniest thing that hap- pened was when the class decid- ed to ‘take a break' from the regular routine,” junior Laura Muhs remembered. “Mrs. Smith had left the room, so a couple of people decided to jump out the window of 103 and run around to the southwest door in the front of the school and then back into the classroom. We (the students) used her stop watch to see who could make it back to class the fastest.” While Smith brought laughter, excitement, and fun into all of her classes, she left behind sadness. Smith retired from teaching after 21 years of plays, grades, and verbs. “My husband has been after me to retire. He’s retired and likes to travel,” she said. “We plan go to England next sum- mer. The following year we’re going to Alaska to go fishing.” She also thought her at- titudes and priorities had changed. I’m not as tolerant and pa- tient as I used to be. I’m 66 years old,” she said. “When I start to say, ‘What’s the world coming to?’ I think it’s time to get out of the teaching business.” The students who had been fortunate to have Smith as a teacher tended to disagree. Junior Chad Watterud remembered Smith and her class with fondness. “When I gave my first speech in her class, 1 was so nervous. But Mrs. Smith has worked with me so now I can give my speeches without being ner- vous,” Watterud said. “I've learned so much in this class. Smith intends to use her free time to the full extent. She plans to take German classes at Eastern Montana College, con- tinue to coach the Senior High Forensics team, and extend her English knowledge in different directions. “I plan to do some writing. I don’t know what kind, just write, she said. Smith has writ- ten a novel that has not yet been published. To make an easier transition from teaching to retirement, Smith plans to return to Senior High to coach extemporaneous speaking, impromptu speaking, and oral interpretation during the speech season. For the past eight years, Senior High has been “home” to Smith, and she said that she has some great memories. “The thing that I've gotten the most satisfaction from has been directing the plays,” she said. “I’ve really enjoyed working with Senior’s drama depart- ment.” And of course, as with any job, there were the friends she would leave at work. Smith will miss the support of her co- workers who she said were always there when she needed them. “They’re (the faculty) a real support group,” she said. “I’ve had a heart attack, stroke, burn- ed my foot, and had a grand- daughter die — that, of course, is something I’ll never recover from — but the staff was there to help through the hard times. Smith touched the lives of many students and faculty, and she will be remembered with respect and fondness. “I will miss the association with Senior, with the students and the faculty,’’ Smith said.. —Kim Garrison ...

SOMETHING AfAU-dJCs It’s not just a regular students had decided on special classroom, and it’s not just a regular class. It’s Career Teaching. For some of the students in- volved, the class fulfilled an am- bition. For others, it was a new challenge. Most importantly, though, Career Teaching gave the developmentally disabled students a feeling of acceptance. Career Teaching began at Senior High when Grand Avenue School, a school for the severely disabled, closed and its students moved to high schools. “I really didn't think it would work,” Brent Rast, special education teacher, said. “I thought the students would be stuck away in a classroom somewhere and not be involved with the school.” Six months later, Rast admit- ted he was wrong, “The students and faculty have accepted us so well, even better than I could have hoped,” Rast said, smiling. “In the end, bringing the disabled students to Senior was the best thing we could have done for them. I’m really impressed with Senior High,” Rast continued. “The program couldn’t have worked without cooperation from the students and faculty.” Career Teaching helped pro- ve that disabled students were “okay.” At Grand Avenue School, the students only had other disabled students as role models. Being tutored by peers provided new experiences for the tutors and the students. “I hope that I’ve let the peer tutors know that there are a lot of things you can do with special ed ’ Rast said. “I bring in speakers who specialize in certain subjects, such as what causes Down’s Syndrome. They learn what causes disabilities and how to work with them.” Five of the Career Teaching COMPUTER TALK. Jason Rimpe and Lynette Brewer play sequence, a memory game, on the computer.

Senior Denise Tripp used to babysit a disabled girl, which spurred her interested in the field. “I like to help people less for- tunate than myself and plan to major in special education in college,” Tripp said. ”1 love to see the peer tutors grow and change. It's great to see them open up to the students.” Senior Lynette Brewer also planned to major in special ed. “I understand them (the disabled students) a lot better now. I finally realized that you treat them just like you would anybody else,” Brewer said. “I want to be an attorney and defend the rights of the disabl- ed,” senior Robin Martell said. “The great thing about disabled people is that they aren't judgmental like we are.” Ana Carmiol, an exchange student, said that the disabled students in her country attend a different school. “I was so excited when 1 found out about the Career Teaching class. I think it’s great that the disabled students attend a regular high school,” senior Carmiol said. “I plan to major in special education when I go back to Costa Rica.” “I joined the class because I’m going into the field and thought it’d be a challenge,” senior Jason Shepard said. All of the students, even those not studying special educaton in the future, learned from the class. ”1 don’t look at the disabled differently anymore. I look at them as individuals,” senior Jennifer Wilde said. “I would like to tell people not to be hesi- tant in approaching a disabled person and offering them help; don’t be embarrassed if they don’t need or want your help.” All of the peer tutors agreed that they wanted mainly to be a friend to the disabled students. Wilde said, People need to treat the disabled more openly.

On one occasion against Great Falls High, the Broncs had a tough offensive line. Although they lost the game, Knopic and Fischer agreed that it was one of their best efforts. “We finally wanted to come out and play,” Knopik said.

Coach Gordon Schlabs was impressed that the team ended the season with all 30 boys who began playing in August. “Our only disadvantage is that, with a school our size, we should have more out for the team,” Schlabs added. Derek Sucharda, the leading rusher for the season, thought that the team’s best games were played on the home field. “We were not mentally prepared after a bus ride,” Sucharda said. The sophomores played their best home game against Butte. They dominated the Bulldogs, win- ning in overtime. “It proves that we could be a team if we stick together, Sucharda said.

Mattheis was named to play in the East-West Shrine game. “Steve and Mike were two of the exceptional players on the team,” junior Erik Jelinek agreed. “They were in for most of the plays. They are all-around guys.” Determination finally paid off during the last game of the season against Bozeman. “That was the best game we played this season,” Jelinek said. “We were final- ly able to get everything together for the win.” When analyzing reasons for the poor season, the lack of student participation was noted. “Too many people had to play on both offense and defense,” sophomore Chance Carlson said, “Those players got pretty tired by the end of the game.” Lack of school spirit was hard on the players. “Mot very many people would show up for the games,” senior Chris Cooke said. “People don’t come watch a losing team.” Lack of participation in the off- season weight program also seemed to be a factor. “During the off- season, not very many people lifted weights,” Cooke said. “We weren’t in shape so we couldn’t play very well.” “All players are expected to participate in the off- season weight program or in other sports,” Dolan said. “The stronger commitment should create a stronger team. —Peggy Tipton VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM: (FRONT ROW) Kevin Bjornson, Jason Foote, Jay Montez, Brad Vandiviere, Leo Gutierrez, Jason Deigert, Shawn Crane, Dave Quiroz,.

(Photo by Margo Olson) Rebirth New coaches, new ideas pump up cross country A tightly woven team and competitive attitudes led the girls cross country team to a successful season. The girls cross country runners performed well dur- ing the regular season but, although they tallied many first and second places, they failed to place at the state meet. “The reason we had a com- petitive year was because we worked well with our new coaches, Margo Olson and Barb Kosovich, senior Jan- na Venard said, “and we ran well as a team.” The coaches were liked by the team members because they used “different techni- ques,1' which were changes for the better. “I thought our new coaches were great,” junior Sandra Perey said, “They made us feel like one big family.” Hampton, who competed well at state, believed that a 10th place at state was not all that bad. “The coaches thought positively of us,” freshman Tracey Hampton said, “which brought about a successful season for us. “1 thought the after- school practices and the pizza par- ties were really fun,” freshman April Qually said, ‘but 1 thought the morning practices were much too ear- ly” “I enjoyed the freedom of not being restricted to a round track, but sometimes it got too competitive without the constant supervision of a judge,” Venard said. “People would push into you or trip you to get a better place ’ The boys team also shared a certain togetherness, but the inexperienced team did not fair as well during the season. With only two juniors and one senior on the team, coach Bob Schwarz looked to the sophomores and freshmen as team builders. Many, Schwarz said, had promise. Following in the footsteps of a state champion runner is not easy for just anyone, but freshman Giano Cromley is heading in that directon. Cromley’s older brother, Brent, graduated an in- dividual state champion and an acedemic perfectionist last year. “I often find myself being compared to my older brother athletically by my fellow team members and even sometimes my coach,” said Cromley, “but I’m never compared scholastically.” This was Cromley's first year competing in cross country. Although he ran regularly during junior high, he did it on his own time in- stead of on a team. “My brother and 1 often trained together,” Cromley said. “We ran with each other during cross country summer practices before he went away to college.” Cromley’s interest in the sport of running rose when he saw the challenge and thrill that his brother ex- perienced while he was run- ning for the school. “The reason the boys team did not reach its expectations this year,” Cromley said, “was because of the inex- perience of the runners.” Cromley's goal for next year’s season is to give the sport all his effort and to run on the varsity team. “Our team is young,” Cromley said. “In a of couple years we will have a great shot at State.” —Jeff LaSeur Crosscountry NSr Motivate New coach keeps cagers looking to the future “Mr. Draeger was really suppor- tive and he never gave up on us.” —Janice Eshleman “We are very fortunate to have so many talented girls.” —Robert Staley “...We finally came together as a team and started enjoying ourselves.” — Mandy Livengood JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL: Kara Sumner, Nikki Pasquarello, Janice Eshleman, Karen Drill, Jessica Dorr, Garnet Burgess, and Nikki Moody, While many teams were suffering from lack of par- ticipation, coaches wondered what to do with the large group of freshmen girls who turned out for basketball. To allow everyone to see some playing time, the coaches established two groups, an orange team and a black team. Robert Staley, science teacher and coach of the orange team, thought the girls combined would make a promising team. “Most of the girls will be playing varsity basketball before long,” Staley said. “We are very fortunate to have so many talented girls.” Separating the girls usual- ly resulted in one dominant team and one weaker team. However, the orange and black freshman teams were stiff competition for each other. “It was really great that both teams had good players on them,” freshman Rebecca Stevens said. “It was very competitive when the black and orange teams played against each other.” The sophomores season got off to a slow start as the girls were getting used to a new coach, Angie Joyce, a student at Eastern Montana College. Fierce competition for a postion on the team also played a factor in the team's slow start. “It was really frustrating first because we all didn’t g to play as much as we woo have liked,” sophomore Mo dy Livengood sa “However, we finally car. together as a team at started enjoying ourselves. The sophomores finally pulled togther at the end of the season.

(Photo by Chris Chakos) Think Concentration on team effort improves game The frustration of losing a game is always on an athlete’s mind. Such was the case of the girls junior varsi- ty team, which lost all of its games but two. The team made up of eight players had many discourag- ing moments. Junior Nikki Moody said that at the begin- ning of the year everyone was willing to work hard, but towards the middle of the season they became disap- pointed because they weren’t winning many games. The thing that needed the most improvement was always playing our best, ’ Moody said. It was hard to give 100 percent all of the time and not slack off.” However, the girls agreed that their coach, Dave Draeger, really cared about the team and helped motivate them. Mr. Draeger was really supportive and he never gave up on us,” junior Janice Eshleman said. He didn’t dwell on the games that we’d lost.” The best part of the year was watching the girls upgrade their skills,” Draeger said. Draeger stressed that it didn't matter if the team won or lost just as long as the girls improved. This encourage- ment helped the girls develop a positive attitude. We didn’t get down on ourselves when we lost. We just worked harder at the practices,” sophomore Karen Drill said. The hours of practice may not have paid off in victories, but they did pay off in a bet- ter basketball team. The team really improved their mental game,” junior Kara Sumner said. “By our junior year we knew the game inside and out and were able to play well with the other players as a team.” The new coach and in- dividual improvement en- couraged the cagers to play in the off- season.

Rookies Hard practice pays off, leads team to success It is seldom that a basket- ball team is led by a 5 foot 3 inch player. But with quickness and good hustle, Chris Masters led the Lady Broncs to an adequate season. “Chris was an extremely hard worker and practiced with a great work ethic,” head coach Adrian Wegner said. “She was an excellent ball handler and exhibited a great shot from three point range.” Masters was named the team’s most valuable player by her teammates. She was also selected to the Eastern AAA11- Conference team and second team Att- State. “Playing with Chris this year, 1 learned to compete with great intensity and leadership,” sophomore Jodi Sorenson said. The Lady Broncs started the season with only two girls who had varsity playing ex- perience. Seniors Masters and Kristi Green acted as the team’s core. “With no returning starters, we knew that leader- ship and experience would be lacking,” Wegner said, “especially the first half of the season. Leadership was slow to develop as we did not have any dominant personalities.” But leadership did develop with seniors Julie Keck, Shawna Jacobsen, Jill Lythgoe, Flori Blain, Green, and Masters. As a group they gave the Broncs enough leadership at divisionals to help them qualify for the state tournament, one of the team’s goals from the outset of the season. Competing with intensity, the Lady Broncs qualified for state by beating Billings Skyview High and Great Fall C.M. Russell High. “Since we all played wi' great intensity during div sionals, the team worked wt as a team,” Lythgoe said. Playing tough again number- one ranke Kalispell, and losing two other close games against Helena and Missoula Sen- tinel, Coach Wegner said that he was pleased with the girls’ effort in the state tourna- ment, especially considering the superior physical talents of our opponents. “The players experienced a great amount of frustation during the course of the season,” Wegner said. “1 was pleased with the team’s adap- ting to the hard practices.

Wanting to win big during their first years in high school, the new team set a goal and reached it. “We wanted to win, and we gave it our all at the tourna- ment,” sophomore Shannon Rafferty said. The orange won the three matches necessary to gain the title of city champions. The highlight of the tourna- ment was the defeat of West High 15- 0 in the first game. They went on to defeat Skyview high 15- 6 in the se- cond game, and in the final match they defeated West High 15- 8 in the third game and won the title of city champions. “The second game was not only closer, but our freshman team beat West High's sophomore team,” freshman Tammy Weis said. The team members agreed that the highlight of the season defeating Billings West High and winning the city championship. Over all, the girls thought that they had a fairly good season. “We worked hard, and it all paid off at city tournaments,” Weis said. Because of the number of freshman and sophomores who went out for volleyball, two teams were established, the “orange team” and the “black team.” The black team also plac- ed in the city tournaments. 'The girls took fourth in ci- ty,” coach Roller said. “They did a really good job.” Even though the competi- tion was stiff, the girls thought their ac- complishments were worth it.

Endurance Netters proved they c J survive when tough times coni ted them Everybody has to do her part and make the best of the situation when a team only has three experienced volleyball players. The varsi- ty girls volleyball team did just that at the state tourna- ment in Missoula. “Our first match at State was by far our best match ever,” coach Jeff Carroll said. “It was the first time everything came together as a whole. It was also pretty discouraging because Erika Boggio sprained her ankle,” he said. “With the loss of Erika, we had to play well and maintain our level of enthusiasm,” he added. Boggio, a junior, was the Lady Spiker’s leading outside hitter with over two hundred kills. The team’s season high was 37 kills in one game, meaning the Broncetttes' spiking resulted in the oppo- nent missing the return. But the team proved it could survive and endured with such talent as junior Rhonda Fiscus, who made the varsity team as a sophomore and was the leading solo blocker with ap- proximately 45 blocks. Senior Chris Masters filled the all- important setting position with ease. Senior Niki Ranes filled the slot as the passing percentage leader and Nichole Volesky led the team with serves. Senior Jackie Berlinsky, who made the varsity team for the first time, contributed to the team’s success. “I decided to play volleyball because I didn’t want to play basketball anymore,” she said. “She's a strong, aggressive player and she's also a good blocker,” Masters com- mented about Berlinsky. “Jackie plays good defense and is very encouraging.” Senior Fawne McFerran, who had been playing volleyball since seventh grade, added her expertise. “My job is basically to set every second shot so so- meone can spike it,” she said. Carroll thinks McFerran will do well with her skills. “Fawne is a good player. She works hard and plays with spirit,” he said. The team did improve on its serving — it went from 78 peicent to 90 percent in a single season. If you can’t put the ball in play, you can’t be a suc- cessful team,” Carroll said. “We do need to improve on our passing and need to develop a setter because she is the key to our offense. We run a very complicated of- fense.” Carroll admitted that the team’s goals were set a little too high, but the lack of ex- perience was not taken into consideration. “The younger girls worked hard, but they just didn’t have the playing experience,’' Carroll said. “The key to a successful season is playing in the off-season and hopeful ]y the aspiring players will do this.” All four seniors received scholarships from various schools to play college volleyball — the highlight of the season for Carroll. “It really made me feel good to learn that the girls received scholarships for their volleyball expertise ’ Carroll said. — Aaron Arredondo ■i GATHERING OF THE MASSES.

But inconsistent playing throughout the season caus- ed the JV team to lose more games than they won. “We would play real in- tense for the first half of a game, Scott Mackenzie said, “but in the second half we couldn’t keep up the pace, and we would end up losing.” Mackenzie commented that this especially happened against West High. Both times Senior played West, Senior went into the second half with a commendable lead but finished on the bottom.

But with the talent among the freshmen and sophomores, the JV team defeated Billings Sky view High both times they met. “With the help of freshman Judd Zent’s rebounding and Eddie Jordan’s outside play,” Nybo said, “we competed much closer to our potential, especially in the Skyview games. The JV team also benefi- ted from junior Bobby Hill’s perimeter play and from Aaron Eschler on the boards.

Talent Teamwork pays off for excellent year Basketball teams without their top guns usually aren’t expected to accomplish a winning season. However, both the sophomore and freshmen teams came away with a comfortable amount of wins and a dismal amount of losses without their top players. The sophomore team faired well even though they lost their number one re bounder Chance Carlson and number one outside man Ed- die Jordan. “Because we played well as a team,” Bobby Findon said, “we ended up with a winning record despite losing Chance and Eddie.” Two of the team’s wins this year came from their cross- town rival West High. “The season in general went great for us,” Findon said, “but the highlight was beating West High twice in one year.” The freshman teams played most of their games without top players such as Shane Dugger, Jason Goldhammer, and Judd Zent, because they were moved to the JV and varsity teams. “The team had so much in- dividual talent,” Zent said. “They didn’t need us for com- peting intensely.” The freshman orange team made it to the championship and lost to West High, and the white team also compil- ed impressive statistics. “The clincher for both teams’ successes,” Zent said, “was their consistency.” Zent and Jordan also com- mented on the strength of the freshman and sophomore coaches.

(Photo by Chris Chakos) Progress Starting from scratch worth price, coach says What does a team do when they have lost eight players from last year’s state cham- pion team? Head Coach Pat O’Connor focused on rebuilding. He was neither frustrated nor in- fluenced by the fact that last year's team won the state championship title. “Every year is different, with different abilities, expec- tations and talent,” O’Connor said. The team started its tally with four victories and a se- cond place seeding. The team’s first loss was to Bozeman, and from then on inconsistency set in. Team members agreed that the greatest upsets came as losses to Billings Skyview and Billings Central. However, defeating cross- town rival West High three times highlighted the season. “Beating West is something we should be pro- ud of. They were a good team,” Matt Agnew said. Agnew tore ligaments in his knee, which resulted in his having to sit out for the mid- portion of the season. Having been a team leader, his absence was disappoin- ting, teammates said. However, after five weeks, Agnew was able to play at the divisional tournament. There was no doubt in my mind that 1 was going to play again before the season end- ed, Agnew said. Senior Rawley Frye was chosen for the first team All- State and first team All- Conference. “We had a good season because we beat teams that we weren't expected to beat, like the Great Falls Bison,” Frye said. Others receiving honorable mention were Chris Flack and Marc Andrew. The season ended abrubt- ly for the Broncs. They won their first game at divisionals against West, but couldn’t pull a win from Bozeman or Skyview, which prevented them from qualifying for the state tournament. “Skyview’s shots were real- ly on. They hardly missed. When we came out on the floor we weren't really hot. 1 don’t think it would have mattered who we played,” Agnew commented on their final game at divisionals. O’Connor commented on the team’s lack of experience and playing time. During last year's season, O'Connor had a strong senior team and didn’t play many JV team members. If that’s the price you pay for a state championship the year before, it wasn't very ex- pensive, O’Connor said positively. —Kara Sumner COMING THROUGH!

Senior High and Skyview High practiced together and worked as a unit — until the competition started. It seemed for several years that the two teams had shared a coach. Lisa Wood, who taught math at Senior High, coached swimming at Skyview High for two years before leading her home school's team. Wood seemed to coach two teams — until the competition started. Sharing a small pool with 30 other swimmers may not seem beneficial, but the Senior High swimmers thought it helped them. “Working with Skyview (the swim team) was fun because we were one team,” junior Dane Sobek said. “The only time we split up was at the meets.” The teams practiced at the Eastern Montana College pool, where participants split into Janes by times. “Being split up is good because you work with kids that are at your same ability,” sophomore Tina Buscher said. “We help each other with strokes and techniques.” Wood worked with the Skyview High coach, Peggy Eggan, to design the workouts and give pointers on techniques. “The hard thing was prac- tices were over crowded,” Wood said. “The kids really worked together, though. It was like one big family.” Inspite of underclassmen dominating the team, Wood thought that individuals ex- celled. Team members had only two senior girls to look to for leadership. “The team works together as a whole,” Wood said, “but the individuals were the ones that motivated the others.” Sobek and his sister Sasha, a sophomore, did their share of motivating their team- mates. They were the only Senior High team members who placed at the state meet. Dane finished fourth in the ■100-meter backstroke and sixth in the 100- meter but- terfly, and Sasha placed fifth in the 100- meter .breaststroke. “The season was hard at first because 1 had knee surgery in the fall and I had to swim with my legs taped together,” Dane said. “I am happy with my placing because f started the season with the injury and 1 improv- ed a lot.” Wood prefered her lineup of underclassmen to a senior- dominated team. “Having a young team allows the kids to work together more because they are about the same age,” Wood said. “The seniors led the team, but they mostly worked together to improve techniques. The small team had trou- ble in competition because of the lack of numbers. Other schools around the state had larger rosters and the Broncs usually pulled their small team into fifth place at meets. “The competition from around the state was thick,”, junior Sara Lee said. “However, meeting people from around the state helped ease the tension.” Swim team members worked with their coach, the Skyview High coach, and with each other to achieve the goals they set for themselves. The one reason I improv- ed was the help I got from Miss Wood and the kids on the team,” Dane said. “Without their support, I wouldn’t have had a suc- cessful season.” —Peggy Tipton z Swimming DEz SCOREBOARD JUNIOR VARSITY WRESTLING BILLINGS WEST HIGH defeated BILLINGS SENIOR GREAT FALLS HIGH defeated BILLINGS SENIOR BOZEMAN defeated BILLINGS SENIOR GREAT FALLS RUSSELL defeated BILLINGS SENIOR HELENA HIGH defeated BILLINGS SENIOR HELENA CAPITAL defeated BILLINGS SENIOR BILLINGS J.V.

And, as with most sports teams, lack of par- ticipation added to the havoc. “We had many of the boys quit ’ J.V. coach Jim Kohles said. “That meant the ones that were left had to wrestle at their own weight and at a higher weight.” The J.V. team started the season with enough members to fill each team and a few extras. By the end of the season,.however, there were not even enough members to fill the team. “It (the season) started out really well,” sophomore Shane Cervantez said. “As the season progressed, however, more kids dropped the team leaving the rest of us to wrestle at different weight classes.” The J.V. wrestlers worked with the varsity wrestlers in the practices. The coaches, Gordon Schlabs, Jim Kohles, and Greg Meisenheimer had the wrestlers practice one technique in repitition and then move on to another technique until it was perfected. “Working with the varsity wrestlers was hard because they knew what they were do- ing,” Cervantez said. “It helped, though, because working with them makes you want to improve.” The scarcity of J.V. wrestlers became apparent when the team members were moved up from J.V. to varsity. The varsity ex- perience often resulted in defeat, but the wrestlers learned from their failures. “Finally getting to wrestle varsity was my goal for the season,” Cervantez said. “Even though I lost, 1 enjoyed the chance because I know •what to expect.” “The J.V. team is basical- ly a building block for the' varsity team,” Schlabs said. “The J.V. kids are actually at an advantage because they get the experience that the kids who were put on the var- sity team to begin with don’t get.” “Some of the better wrestlers were sophomores Jason Pepin, Shane Cer- vantez, Ray Jones, and Jeremy Wood, Schlabs said. The freshmen included Court Harris and Sean Bonner. Jones, who wrestled at 125 pounds, led the team in the most takedown points. “I just worked hard at the practices on the techniques, Jones said. “1 wrestled with the varsity people a lot and they showed me better moves. I mostly gained all of my points by putting the first move on my opponent and if that didn’t work, I just tough- ed it out.” “The weakness of the J.V. team came from moving the younger players to the varsi- ty team,” Schlabs said. — Peggy Tipton JUNIOR VARSITY WRESTLING TEAM: (FRONT ROW) Loni Miller, Ray Jones, Mike Fortune, Trevor Peterson, Scott Roll, Pat Korb, Sean Bonner, Kody Winfrey, Jeff Pickens, (BACK ROW) Jeff Kober, Jeremy Wood, Don Schaak, Shane Cervantez, Guy Chilson, Jamey Painter, Geno Moncada, Cort Har- ris, and Don Bonner.

The Bronc wrestling team lost seven seniors to the 1987 graduation. That, coupled with the Montana High School Association’s deci- sion to add another weight class, helped to deplete the quality and the quantity of the Broncs’ 1988 roster. “At the start of the season, we knew we’d be young, and having young players means lack of experience,” head coach Gordon Schlabs Junior Brad Vandiviere, who placed fifth in the state tournament in the middle- weight class, thought the team fared well through ail its adversity. “It was a really young team, but considering the age of a lot of our varsity peo- ple, we did really well, Van- diviere said. “We owe a lot of our success to Coach Greg (Meisenheimer). He changed the format of our practices from the previous years and it really helped us.1’ Throughout the year, the Broncs suffered in head- to- head grappling, winning on- ly one out of 14 dual meet competitions. “1 was disappointed with seniors roster the dual meet record this year, Schlabs said. “Just chalk it up as a rebuilding year. The best individual effort in the state tournament was put in by junior Scott Chesarek. His second- place finish in the 112- pound weight class topped the list of Bronc honors. Other Broncs placing in the state tourna- ment were seniors Rico Monroy, 4th place in the 1 19- pound weight class, and Jim Smith, 6th place in the 12b pound weight class. Although he finished the season on a positive note Chesarek was disappointed with the team’s performance. “Last year we did really well and we were one of the top teams in the state, but this year we weren’t nearly as strong; we were toward the bottom,” Chesarek said. Looking to the future, as all of us do, Chesarek added that the team will be better in the coming years. “All the young kids gained a lot of experience this year, Chesarek said. “By the time the freshmen and sophomores are juniors and seniors, they will be really strong.” —Phil Stephens Layout by Julie Askins and Karin Larson VARSITY WRESTLING: (FRONT ROW) Scott Chesarek, Rico Monroy, Larry Ketchem, David Sanderlin, Marc Garcia, Randy Lynch, (BACK ROW) Shawn Crane, Jason Sunderland, Jody Schmidt, Chad Pendill, Jim Smith, David Valdez, and Brad Vandiviere. “The team was young, but it was a good learning year.

(Sub- mitted photo) X 28 Sports z Hit the slopes Students ski for recreation, patrol slopes as part- time job In the wintertime, many high school students desire little more than a few inches of new snow and time to hit the slopes. But for some skiing didn’t mean relaxation. Senior Kirk Gustafson killed his time on the weekend by racing in competion, and junior Geoff Barrow patrolled the slopes at Red Lodge Mountain. When Gustafson was 10 years old, he tried racing for the first time and decided to make competitive racing his sport. “The first time I tried rac- ing, it was really a fun ex- perience for me, and I got hooked on it,” Gustafson said. In his eight years of com- petitive racing, Gustafson has won several local races in Red Lodge. This year he won the Hellgate Race in Whitefish, Mont, and a race sponsored by the Northern United States Ski Federation. Gustafson's major ac- complishments in racing were qualifying for the Junior Olympics in Colorado and for the western regionals com- petition in Idaho. “Besides winning several races this year,” Gustafson said, “my greatest thrill was qualifying for the Junior Olympics and regionals.” Gustafson concentrated on skiing when the slopes were bare. In the off- season he trained by running, bicycling, and working on agility drills. “Sure, the off- season train- ing helps,” Gustafson said, “but the best training is to hit the slopes as soon as I can.” Unlike Gustafson, who tried to go faster, Barrow made sure people skied safe- ly. A member of the ski patrol, Barrow had to make sure skiers were going slow enough to meet safety rules. “We had to kick several people off the mountain this year for going too fast,” Bar- row said. Patrolling included several other chores besides slowing people down. Barrow had to be sure that the mountain was safe for skiing, open ski lifts, give people tickets, and close the lifts at the end of the day. To be a patroller, Barrow had to go through several months of first- aid classes and pass a written and a prac- tical test. In addition to taking care of the mountain, Barrow received a 20 percent dis- count on clothes at the ski shop and traveled to New York for the annual ski patrol convention. ’’Although the first- aid classes were boring and the tests were hard,” Barrow said, “it was worth being on ski patrol because of the dis- counts we get in Red Lodge and the trip to Lake Placid, NY.” � —Stewart Wilson THE FINISHING TOUCH.

Montana Class AA State Track Gazette) Camaraderie within Individuals improve times and distances with support from team Let’s get fired up! A struggle during the regular season left the divi- sional and state tournaments rewarding for the athletes as well as the coaches of the var- sity boys track team. “In track you work to achieve your personal best in distance and timing. At the divisional tournament, everyone improved,” head coach Dennis Johnson said, recapping the highlights of the season. Mostly underclassmen, the tracksters looked up to the few seniors and juniors who stood out as posative leaders. “The older guys1 positive attitudes carried through to the whole team,” Johnson said. The only upperclassman in the weights, junior Erik Jelinek improved the most throwing the disc and shot put at divisional, qualifying him for the state tournament. “The weight coach, Mr. Johnson, was busy with a lot of other activities this year. That gave me a chance to help the younger throwers,” Jelinek said. “They really look up to their peers.” Coached by Don Hatcher, the hurdlers were an asset to the team. “The camaraderie among the hurdlers was the best I’ve ever seen,” Hatcher said. “The whole team works well together.” Seniors Brian Spaulding and Kirk Gustafson dominated the hurdles at divisionals, finishing first and second and qualifing them for state. State, however, did not go as well, with Spaulding finishing fourth and Gustafson seventh. “The people who defeated us were all from the Western Division. We needed more competion in the Eastern Division to put us ahead at state,” Spaulding said. Odor- eaters stink as far as junior Todd Bernhardt is con- cerned. An extra inch of pad- ding in his shoe caused it to fly off his foot while running the hurdles at divisionals. “...Here I was going over the seventh hurdle and wat- ching my shoe fly over ahead of me,” Bernhardt recalled. Although the incident cost him first place, Bernhardt kept a positive attitude. “Because of the size of the team, the only event that so- meone stayed home in was the sprints. Most of the team went on all the trips,” Ber- nhardt said. “This gave us the support we needed without the rivalry for positions.” Those who qualified for state “equaled or excelled their personal best.” “It’s a good feeling — hav- ing a team that consistantly works hard and improves, and knowing that because they're young, they’ll be back.

The tennis duos realized the impact their friendship made on their playing ability. Compatability enhanced the talents of seniors Flori Blain, Julie Keck, Mike Nys, and junior Rhonda Guenthner. Blain and Keck played together on a doubles team all season. Having someone else out there forces you to play bet- ter because you know they’re depending on you, Blain said. Blain and Keck didn’t qualify for the state tourna- ment, but they kept positive attitudes. Flori and I made a great doubles team because we both made mistakes, but neither of us got mad about it,” Keck commented. Nys and his partner, senior Matt Agnew, were the only Broncs to qualifiy for the state tournament. They didn’t begin playing together as a doubles team until the end of the season. We did quite well for not having played together very much, Nys said. We played for both individual and team scores.” Finishing in second place, Nys and Agnew boosted the team’s ranking to second place also. The season ended great. As a team, we couldn't have done better than we did, Nys said. Nys and Agnew were recognized and named as All- State finalists. Guenthner and her part- ner, senior Denise Coates, were the only girls to qualify for the state tournament. They defeated the Great Falls Russell team 6- 4, 6- 2 for the second match and lost the third. ‘Net vollies were our weakness. They put impor- tant pressure on the other team and cause them to make mistakes by putting them out of position,” Guen- thner said. Denise keeps me from getting mad. You have to get along with your partner because you share the responsibly,” Guenthner said. Senior Dan Miller headed the boys singles but failed to qualify for the state tournament.

Heads were up and so were scores when golfers practic- ed at Billings municipal golf courses during the spring. Lack of experience made the golfing season a “just for practice” situation. “1 took lessons when I was little,” senior Kari Hammerel said, “but 1 didn't really start playing seriously until last year.” The girls team took the state championship in 1986 and 1987, but slipped to ninth place at the May 20- 21 tournament at Fairmont Hot Springs. The girls team was unable to compete in most of the tournaments because there weren’t enough girls out to fill a roster. A team must have four members to compete. “1 think that it's sad that there aren’t many girls out for the team,” Hammerel said, “because 1 know there are girls in the school who could play.” “I hadn’t really golfed much before,” junior Erika Boggio said, “but 1 decided to go out for the team because they really needed players.” The boys team finished 11th at state this year com- pared to the seventh place finish last year — not quite what some of the players expected. “I had hoped for us to at least finish in the top 10 at state,” senior Dave Wagner said. ”1 didn’t really expect our team to finish as well at state as we did last year,” senior Jason Deigert said. “We on- ly had two returning varsity players.” “The thing that interested me most in golf,” junior Geoff Barrow said, is that it’s a personal challenge and a very difficult game to perfect.” Most of the golfers felt more confident playing on Billings courses because they were more familiar with them. —Kristen Roller Sports z I f D.

The 1988 State Championship followed two previous championship seasons. The first place standing did not come as a surprise. With a 25- 2 season, the team was confident going into the tournament. Although the Broncettes lost their first game to Skyview High with a score of 6- 0, the Lady Broncs won the next seven games and once again captured the title of State Champions. The Broncettes played three games on Friday. After losing to Skyview High Thursday night, the team went on to defeat Missoula Big Sky High, 5- 2; West High, 10- 0; and Cut Bank High, 11- 2. We figured that once we got past Big Sky (Friday), that's when things would start happening for us,” Head coach, Kirk Thomas said. Saturday the Broncettes beat Skyview High at their se- cond matchup with a score of 8- 4. They continued their sweep defeating Missoula Hellgate High 9- 2 and Bozeman High twice. it was a great feeling to beat Skyview after they had defeated us on Thursday, starting left fielder senior Kristi Green said. Green played on all three state teams. The Lady Broncs won two games against the Bozeman Hawks with scores of 6- 2 and 8- 0. The Hawks were undefeated in the tourna- ment, which featured a dou- ble elimination format. Bozeman was the only team to defeat the Broncettes in regular season play. Although during the season the team members were hesitant about discuss- ing the possibilities of a third championship, the sweet taste of victory brought tears and shouts of joy when the Broncettes proved that good things do come in threes.

It’s go- ing to take a lot of hard work, but we’ll be able to do it,” sophomore Kim Smith said. Smith played all the outfield positions. The team also had con- fidence in the coaching staff. Head coach Kirk Thomas and assistant coaches Dave Draeger, Paul Rooney, and Dennis Holmes spent countless hours with the girls discipline working on “the basics and teaching them discipline. “Our coaches were more into discipline than winning, especially Mr. Thomas,” freshman Amy Thornquist said. “They pulled you out if you cussed or threw a bat. A lot of coaches would let you get away with that.” “They (the coaches) made me think seriously about what I was doing,” Smith said. “That really helped me towards the end of the season.” Although the girls didn’t end with a winning season, their determination to suc- ceed and their ability to over- come losses proved vital in keeping their spirts high. —Kim Garrison WARMING UP.

Billings Senior High and Billings Skyview High students combine their athletic powers to form the Billings Royals, while students from Billings West High and Billings Central High join forces to produce the Billings Scarlets, the Royals most threatening rivals. Players who did not get eliminated in the first cuts of the Royals were not insured a position on the team throughout the entire season. “I am anxious for the mid- season cuts,” junior Gabe Nybo said. “It is easier for the team to work together with less players.' Because playing on the Royals demands much time, players must be dedicated to the sport during the entire summer. “If you like baseball as much as we do,” junior lan McIntosh said, “it is worth the whole summer.” New coaches added en- thusiasm to the team's attitude. “The coaching staff this year is strong,” Nybo said. “With Ed Bayne as our head coach and Dave McNalley, Joel Hawkins, and Paul Mar- shell as assistant coaches, we should have a good season.” “After we take state,” McIntosh said hopefully, “we will go to Middleton, Conn., to win the American Legion World Series. —Jeff LaSeur Royals ✓A S5S � 43 L 2L OUT JUMPING HER OP- PONENTS.

The athletes of Billings Senior High were not teams but individuals. Although the softball team was the only team to bring home a state championship, the other teams had in- dividuals who excelled and were placed on the All- Conference or Allstate teams. The athletes chosen for the All- Conference and Allstate teams were determined by the Montana High School Association, which sponsors all of the high school athletic programs, for their athletic ability. Senior Chris Masters, a 5 foot 2 basketball starter, was named to the Eastern AA All- Conference team. Her skills and determination paid offas she was recognized as one of the most valuable athletes. Masters, along with junior Erika Boggio, was named to the second team All- State for both basketball and volleyball. “1 had to work a lot harder because of my height,” Masters said. “My coaches helped me, but I was mostly determined not to be lauqh- ed at.” Senior Mike Mattheis was honored with the nomination to play in the East- West Shrine Football game as the starting center. Senior Rawley Frye was named to the All- State basketball team and senior Dan Miller receiv- ed an honorable mention for his athletic ability. Seniors Matt Agnew and Mike Nys were accepted to the All- State team. “I was suprised because you have to be really good,” Mattheis said. ‘‘1 am glad because 1 will be playing with some of the better football players in the state, and it will give me a chance to learn to play with players other than my own teammates.” The Midland Roundtable Sports Club, a Billings serviceoriented sports club that recognizes area high school athletes, selected top athletes from all four high schools in Billings.

While some stayed in Billings and worked, others travel- ed all over the nation and beyond. One of the more com- mon reasons for leaving the Big Sky Country was to vist relatives and seek employment in other cities. “I went to Alaska to visit my brother and work in a fish cannery,” senior Bren- da Wada said. However, a few stayed in Montana, and some travel- ed to their parents' cabins to find work. “I worked as a dishwasher this summer in Whitefish, where my fami- ly’s cabin is ’ senior Kirk Gustafson said. While some were out working and traveling, others left Billings for the pure fun of it. Several teens spent time at camps. Beverly Shore and several seniors attended a church camp at Flathead Lake. “Rachel Moe and I left camp one night, and when we were coming back we got caught, Shore said. The campers weren’t the only ones who got into trouble over the three- month break. “I went out one night and came home a couple hours late ' Gustafson said, “When I walked in my mom was talking to the police to report me miss- ing ’ Sometimes choosing a way to spend the summer was difficult, but there was always something to do. Devoted football fans went on the road to watch their favorite team. “Megan Cox and 1 went to Flordia to see the Miami Dolphins play, senior Suzie Thomas said. A senior who traveled overseas decided it not all fun when jet lag caught up with her on the way home. “When we were coming home from Europe, I was so tired,” Gulsel Gedikli said. “Some lady asked me where I was going. I couldn’t remember, so I just said Mew York.” Mo matter where or how they decided to spend the summer, most teens agreed that it was something to be remembered. —Jennifer Solie Summer 149 AND ALOTMORE B- Day...Three free hours to celebrate the new school year and to show school spirit. The school day ended after fourth period to allow students to attend a pep rally, picnic, and a carnival sponsored by school clubs, making B-Day one of the best fund- raising events of the year. Student Council chang- ed the picnic menu to roast beef sandwiches in- stead of the traditional broasted chicken, and clubs and students again provided cakes to be used for dessert. Because of the cold weather, the picnic and carnival were moved to the gym. Students gave positive comments about the carnival. “I thought it was much better to be inside, senior Jill Miles said. It gave us a closeness as if we were a great big family. Before the football game, students par- ticipated in the first annual car rally. The traditional homecoming dance, spon- sored by the cheerleaders, followed the game.

Guys chased each other around in skirts while girls wearing baseball caps and cleats laughed at the mockery. Students were not ex- periencing any lunarinspired madness; girls were wearing their brother’s clothes and boys borrowed from their sisters and mothers to par- ticipate in opposite- sex day. the first of the spirit days designated by Stu- dent Council. I was surprised at how many people dressed up for opposite- sex day, senior Adam Weissman said. It made me feel bad for not dressing out. Even though winter decided to make a brief appearance that week students went all out for surfer- beach day, enjoy- ing a chance to wear short” shorts and punk clothing. I dressed up because it was spirit week, senior Dave Wagner said. You have to show your school spirit. For the final dress- up day, students not only wore black and orange but also painted their faces with the school colors. Pep Club members, stationed in the school store, painted horseshoes on faces, and for the more daring, sprayed student’s hair black and orange. I didn’t want to dress up for opposite- sex day or surfer- beach day, junior Shannon Rollo said, but I had to dress up for black and orange day to show my school spirit. Running out of B- day mums and the first snow fall didn’t dampen students' spirits. If anything, it brought fellow Broncs together. The shortage of mums was unfortunate, Weisman said, but 1 think that students who gave away their mums to those who didn’t get any really showed their school spirit.” Whether it was the pep band playing, the cheerleaders cheering, or the crowds roaring, everyone joined in the pep assembly preceeding the carnival and students agreed that it was one of the most spirited B- day assemblies in years. Athough the weather prevented many of the traditonal booths such as the dunking booth and egg toss, Broncs put their heads together and came up with new indoor ideas. Some popular booths in- cluded tie dying T- shirts, throwing darts, and hand cuffing students who had to be bailed out of jail. In mid- afternoon when the carnival began to wind down, some students went home while others prepared for the car parade. The parade started at 6:30 p.m. at the Rocky Mountain College parking lot and ended at the Senior high football field. The car parade was the perfect end to spirit week. It got students hyped for the football game, senior Bethann Johnson said. 1 hope the car parade will become a tradition. — Bambi Stuber X Student Life ) 152 DOOR WAR.

Quartet members Leah Haney, Lisa Birkeland, Kathi Larson, and Lisa Huvaere dressed up for their skit and sang “the fellas look at me and sigh.” (Photo submitted by James Larson) THE LIVES OF BARBIES How would it feel to serenade a star from a popular daytime soap in front of hundreds of peo- ple? Barbieshoppers Lisa Birkeland, Leah Haney, Lisa Huvaere. and Kathi Larson found out when they sang to Wally Kurth from '‘Days of Our Lives.” They stopped to see the actor at Lamplighter Square on their way to per- form a singing telegram and joked around about singing to him, but were surprised when they ac- tually pulled it off. Singing to Wally was really exciting for us, Huvaere said, If we had been in street clothes (in- stead of their Barbieshop- per uniforms), we wouldn't have gotten the chance to meet him and sing to him. All of the Barbieshop- pers belonged to the Var- sity choir, but they con- sidered themselves a uni- que quartet because they started their own group. Before they formed their quartet, girls barbershop was not as well- known as boys barbershop singing. “When I was a sophomore, 1 really en- joyed the Northwesters, Larson said, and 1 thought it would be fun to start a girls quartet. I have always loved per- forming, Haney said. 1 just feel comfortable and I enjoy it. The Barbieshoppers usually practiced once a week, but added extra rehearsals before concerts or other performances. Conflicts with other school and non- school related ac- tivities often made a designated day for prac- tice difficult. The hardest part is try- ing to get a compromise, Larson said. Barbieshop- pers is very time- consum- ing, and all of us have busy schedules. The quartet agreed that other performances they especially enjoyed were the B- Day singing telegrams, the skits they Student Life performed for AFS Follies, and the singing telegrams that they were hired to per- form for birthdays and anniversaries. 1 really like the singing telegrams, Larson said, because it’s fun embar- rassing people. “The Follies were definitely the best, Haney said. “There was just something about it that was different from any other performance. Although the Bar- bieshoppers liked to joke around at times, they agreed that they needed a balance between the serious and comical sides of performing.

After several boxes of crayons were shredded and the irons were hot, the fun of a crayon party began. Using seniors Brooke Warberg and Anne Steel’s original party idea, a group of students made use of the opportunity to design their own “fashions.” Warberg had made a crayon shirt of her own earlier; both hosts agreed that a party at which everyone made crayon shirts for B- Day would be Fun. Crayon shirts, created .by sprinkling shredded crayons into a design on a shirt, covering the shirt with waxed paper, and melting the crayon onto the shirt with an iron, gave the party a unique purpose. Warberg said that everyone went to work right away and, because of the party’s pupose, no one had to worry about what to do first. When first invited, most students did not know what to expect. Steel feared that the kids would think that the crayon idea was immature, but once the party started, everyone had a good time. ‘‘We got a kick out of what we were putting on the Tshirts,” senior Sarah Hannah said. “Everyone kept making shirts,” Warberg said, “and some even went home to get more T- shirts and sweatshirts.” Warberg said several of the guests asked her to ! ve another party.

Whether sporty or Amy Aldrich) A KEY TO Rather than a staid fashion scene, students presented a collage of personal tastes and styles, giving them the edge on fashion. According to Tana Melius, BSHS graduate and manager of Jay Jacobs, a Rimrock Mall clothing store, guys styles dictated “casual and com- fortable.” Acid washed denims combined with cotton sweaters and logo sweatshirts for ultimate comfort at school. Guys are “not much in- to dress, Melius said about most guys who thought 501's with a T- shirt or sweatshirt were standard “dress. The mini-skirt came back in full force, and girls enjoyed showing their knees again. Since styles could be adapted to any body type, girls were en- couraged not to let their figure hinder their style choices. “Fashion is for everybody; no one has to be left out,” Melius said. Soft pastels for the winter holidays survived a FASHION second season. Ac- cessories remained a must and hoop earrings in shiny metals—the larger the bet- ter — gained popularity. Comfort became an im- portant factor when chos- ing clothes. “People won’t wear something if it isn’t com- fortable, especially guys, Melius said. While students may want to dress in the latest styles, the cost of clothing can be an obstacle. However, Melius didn’t think that students needed a lot of money to dress well. She stressed shopp- ing wisely. “You just have to remember what you already have, Melius said about coordinating old clothes with new. Accessories updated old outfits creating a whole new look.” “You can get by with the basics and then add on,” the BSHS graduate advised. The key to fashion in ‘88: simple, casual, and comfortable. —Amy Aldrich Fads and Fashions AFTER HOURS A student walked into the school at quarter past seven Tuesday night. A relaxed atmosphere engulfed him. Each step he took echoed in the hall. The hurry- scurry of the school day had passed — no pressure — no bells — no trash in the halls. The few restless individuals who roamed the halls car- ried none of the similiar traits of the jocks, or the cowboys, or the other clicks that inhabited the corners of the school. The student wandered further down the hall and climbed the stairs to the second floor. With a sur- rendering destiny, the muffled beat of the jazz band rehearsing floated through the halls. The se- cond floor opened up a new world to the student. Students who returned to the school at night discovered a serenity that seemed to be lost in the clutter and clammer of the day. Some returned to retrieve assignments due the following day, others came to meetings or to reheasals, and still others came to visit with friends who also returned to fill their empty hours. “I come to school at night to pick up my books ’ senior Jack Lawton said. “Then i usual- ly drop into the Bronc Ex- press room to see what’s going on. Sometimes I stay and get some of it (homework) done.” For some students, the school provided an escape from all the distractions at home that interrupted their studies. ‘‘When 1 go home after school I usually end up screwing around and not getting anything done,” senior Sol Neuhardt said. “It is so easy to just sit home, eat, and not get anything accomplished. 1 usually end up staying or coming back to Senior to get my homework done.” Wanting to be at school at night? Most students came to school at night, not by force, but because they wanted to be here. “When I come to school at night,” junior Peggy Tipton said, “I am here here for myself. I’m here to get caught up on the things I don’t have time to do in class.” A new meaning reached home when the student mentioned he spent his night at school. Webster defined school as a group of scholars and teachers pursuing knowledge. At Senior High, the pursuit continued into the night. —Erin Johnston Student Life PLANS FOR THE NEXT YEAR. spent after school hours working Kara Sumner and adviser Judy on deadlines.

(Photo submitted by Giano Cromley) As the summer days ticked away, thousands of people could be seen run- ning, jumping, swimming, and doing other sports ac- tivities throughout the ci- ty of Billings. They were gearing up for state-wide competition in the city's second annual “mini-olympics,” which continued to operate on a tight budget. The Big Sky State Game’s directors used all the free help that was of- fered during the many hours of competition. Hun- dreds of people volunteered to judge or to be an official. Senior High students joined in the spirit of the games, which featured opening and closing ceremonies and several events at Daylis Stadium, adjacent to the school. In recognition for their ef- forts, volunteers received a Big Sky State Games T-shirt. Most volunteers agreed with sophomore Joy Bryngelson, who volunteered as an official timekeeper during the rainy days, that “It was ex- citing to support the games and get involv- ed.'' � —Keith McBride HOLDING THE LINE.

Each was the starting cry of the biggest amateur multi-sports competition in Montana, the Big Sky State Games. Participation in the games, now in its third year of competition, has increased by at least 1,000 people. The games originated with executive director Tom Osborne, who attended similar state games in Wisconsin and decided to try to organize games in Montana. “1 heard about having people from all different ages and skills compete against each other and wanted to bring it back to Montana, Osborne said. Osborne was successful. The games now feature almost 20 events and bring athletes from across the state to compete against people their own age. More than 40 students from Billings Senior High participated in events varying from basketball to cycling. Junior Sam Smith rode in the 40- mile bicy- cle race and felt positively about the experience. They (the games) were pretty thrilling, Smith said. Whoever ran the competition did a really good job. Anticipation of the races occupied the minds of some competitors while others concentrated on the joy of finishing. I was excited about starting the race, sophomore Allison Gage said, “but I also looked for- ward to the end. Anyone could par- ticipate in the games as long as he was a resident of Montana and an amatuer athlete. Billings will be the permanent site of the games, but Osborne didn’t think people would mind traveling to the state’s largest city to participate. After the ‘87 games, the future of the event was put on paper. By the sum- mer of 1989, the games will require regional com- petition, meaning athletes will compete in or close to their home towns and ad- vance in the state-wide games in Billings. Montanans seemed to have a positve attitude about the games and how well the event ran with money from private dona- tions. Sophomore Kevin Fenton participated in the 40-mile bicycle race. Rac- ing against other par- ticipants in his age divi- sion, he placed first. The games made it easy to compete and have a really good time all at once, Fenton said. The time I spent in the games was rewardinq. —Keith McBride TIME TO TAKE A BREAK. After finishing the 40- mile bike race. Jason Montague rests with his father. Jay.

You make a lot of good friends,” president Karin Larson said. “We have fancy dinners at the end of the year, too. The drawbacks, however, included extra time, hard work, and weekly sales. Money from the sales went to American Field Service. German Club sold food every Wednesday. “One of the worst parts of it (German Club) is sell- ing pretzels,” secretary treasurer senior Laura Spencer said. “ It takes up a lot of time.” French Club sold flowers and candy on the holidays that students could purchase during lunch and have sent to anyone in the school. “We had to sell carna- tions for Valentines Day and candy canes for Christmas,” senior Amy Combs said. Students joined the clubs for various reasons; to met new people, to make friends, and to try to find a niche. “1 joined French Club because 1 moved here from out of town as a sophomore,” Combs said. “1 was really shy at first, but now I’m not afraid to speak out.” For some, language clubs continued family tradition while they pro- vided a way to become active. “1 was in French and my sister (Kristen) was the president (of French Club) last year,” Larson, senior, said. “It seemed a neat way to get involved in Senior.” The Spanish Club spread Christmas cheer to the community by carol- ing during the holidays. “We went to the Saint John’s home at Christmas and sang songs,” treasure Daniel Sillero said. —Jennifer Solie Student Life z mmm i r i I SPANISH CLUB: (FRONT ROW) Ana Carmoil, Juliet Lemon, Raenelle Ruff, Darci Farella, Andi Lee, Leh Keutla, (SECOND ROW) Jill Miles, Lind- say Jones, Ricardo Cuellar, Don- ny Johnson, Janna Vernard, ad- visor Linda Pickens, (BACK ROW) Goga Mangovic, Daniel Sillero, and Troy Wagner.

A. Language ------------- Be the lucky preferred guy? Although the chosen colors, the dates each picked, the amount of time left to plan, and the entertainment after the dance varied, all were out to do the same, have some good fun. “He (Andy Maheras) is a nice guy and I thought it would be fun with no serious commitments, just good fun,” said Kristy. Maggert. On the other hand Karen Simonich said, ”1 had been seeing this guy for a while and I thought that it would be a good ex- perince for us.” Now the date was asked and the planning was left. “I asked him a month in advance and i think that ■was a bit too early because all my plans were finished about two weeks before the dance. Then I had nothing to do for the last two weeks,” said Karen Simonich. However, all the time appeared to be used wise- ly planning dinner, pic- tures, and the party afterward. “We went to Vinney's because it was close to Eastern where Andy had spent the day for the Music Festival,” said Maggert. “1 was glad we went there though. The food was great.” Looking around the dance everyone’s plans ap- peared to have worked out. Whether or not they were as planned was left unsaid. Jennifer Solie explained her oddest moment. I was just telling my date that I was not an airhead when I looked up and saw that I was running a red light,” said Solie. When asked, most girls said they would rather be driven to the dance by the guy. “It is very hard to drive in a dress,” said Megan Cox. —Kari Koch Student Life 7 I THE NEW WHEELS, Mark Beaton impresses his date while leaning up against a fire truck parked outside of the dance.

In the fall of the year, Billings Key Club (BKC) and Yellowstone Key Club (YKC) combined the strong and weak qualities of both clubs into one Before the combination of the two clubs, Senior High had been the only school in the world con- taining two separate Key Clubs. Because it was a “one of a kind” and the clubs thought the rivalry bet- ween them was healthy, they refused to combine. Finally the decision to combine was dropped on- to the club by members of the school board and Kiwanis Club, a communi- ty service club that spon- sored the student club. “In the long run, it (com- bining the clubs) was a good idea,” co- president Debbie Jordan, senior, said. At the time the deci- sion just didn’t seem right.” To solve the problem of who would rule the new club, the sets of officers became co- officers. Sometimes club members found holes in this method of governing. “It was a diaster,” co- president Kathleen Olson, junior, said. “It was really difficult having two of- ficers in everything. Everyone thought that so- meone else was going to do something and nothing ever got done.” In spite of the negative feelings, members enter- tained themselves with guest speakers, pizza par ties, and crazy games. “Key Club is great because it provides a social atmosphere and performs a valuable com- munity service,” senior Del McCormick said. The club tallied hours of service at nursing homes with the adopt-a- grandparent program and worked on the Special K Ranch, a home for han- dicapped adults who learn to live on their own. Key Club also replaced the red rock in front of the school. In the spring, the club focused on the elec- tion of new officers and also on the Muscular Dystrophy Association Superdance and the an- nual teeter-totter-a-thon to raise money for the Special K Ranch. So, why would someone join Key Club? Because, as Jenny Alexsich said, “The club has a lot to say.” —Keith McBride X 166 Student Life HO. HO, HO.

The Council beautified the school, staged a Spring Fling, and added spirit to the school in hope of establishing tradition. The Spring Fling, an outdoor dance, on increas- ed spirit and gave a new twist to the usual mon- tonous dances. “The reason we held the activities outside was so people who didn’t want to dance could do other ac- tivities,” Senior Class secretary treasurer Kathi Larson said. “Some people played volleyball, frisbee. Because of the low at- tendance at the informal dances, StuCo wanted something new to interest the students. People were wondering why there weren’t many dances this year compared to previous years, Larson said. “We wanted the dance to be different.” The dance proved to be successful when around 400 people attended. Because of the Spring Flings’ success, the coun- cil hoped it would become an annual event. The date auction assembly , a new fund rais- ing activity created by the Student Life 7 junior class, helped make money for the junior senior prom. The canidates for the auction were nominated by the students and ap- proved by the junior class officers. The dates were auctioned off at an assembly to a minimum bid of seven dollars, but the lowest bid that pur- chased a date was $45 and the highest bid was $133 Many of the activities seemed to be a great suc- cess with the students and the council hoped that all of the new activities would become traditions. —Lisa Huvaere ■ ■ B(JY- A- DATE.

(Photo by Keith McBride) Itl IN THE WORLD Fear of news subjects ranging from baby Jessica, the little girl who fell into a well and was stuck for days, to scandals in state, to terrorists in the Middle East frightened most students into becom- ing more informed of the national and world events. A poll of students and faculty revealed that a sense of fear was brought to young and old alike as the United States sent troops to foreign shores. Panic set in among students who wondered “Will we go to war? Will I be drafted?” ‘‘My biggest fear had to be the United States sen- ding men to [Nicaragua,” one student responded to the poll. “It seems that it will be another Vietnam War. Who needs a war like that, with no end? Why are our men there causing nothing but trouble?” Although the fighting in the Persian Gulf did not scare a great number of people who were too young to be drafted, some students had family in the Armed Forces serving in the Gulf region. “My biggest fear was the war in the Persian Gulf,” senior Jason Deigert said. “My brother is in the INavy over there.” Because of the presiden- tial elections and Olym- pics, students were almost forced to learn something about the nation's happenings. As the race for their par- ty’s nomination grew closer, the presidential hopefuls campaigned even harder. After the scandal of Gary Hart and his affair with Donna Rice, his dropping out of the race, his reentry, and his decision to drop out once more, most students became confused or pessimistic about the elec- tions and began forming negative opinions about the candidates. “The fact that George Bush may become Presi- dent really scares me,” junior Dan Patterson said. ‘‘I don’t agree with his views on civil rights and 1 think his incompetence is overwhelming.” Another growing fear for students was the in- crease of the AIDS epidemic and the growing risk of contacting the deadly disease. ‘‘I am becoming more aware of the spread of AIDS into the heterosex- ual population,” an unidentified student said. “It is becoming more scary by the day.” At times students began to doubt the President’s credibility and his claims to be unaware of guns sent to Iran and the money diverted to support the rebels in Nicaragua. ”! was scared at the Con- tra hearings at first, but because of it, it opened my eyes to the dealings of our government,” junior Nick Rubber said. After students thought about the Persian Gulf, presidental elections, ter- rorists, and other events, they might want to forget following the news, but they had to remember that it's just been one of those years. —Keith McBride “The last presidential election I really didn’t care or know much about what was going on, but now as I get older, the major points in the election stand out more as they effect me more.” —Karen Simonich “I am really scared about the AIDS epidemic and how people aren’t doing anything to pro- tect themselves; all they are thinking about is now, not the future.” — Michelle Gabaldon “I was really affected by the stock market crash because we were study- ing the crash of 1929 at the same time.” — Todd Bernhardt “I was really influenced by the stockmarket crash and Mon- tana’s depres- sion because it made me realize how hard I’ll have to struggle to succeed.” — Jeremy Cucciardi z National News P) o UoaUcj Student Life AND POISE Engel, Sarah Hannah, and Anne Steel, performed “Grease Lightnln”’ from the ‘50s while freshman Jimi Brown performed “You’ll Rock,” a break dan- cing lip-synch from the '80s. The former AFS Follies changed to the Z- Club Follies because the pro- ceeds' are now divided among all of Senior High’s foreign exchange programs. Charles Nesbit, English teacher who has directed the Follies for several decades, expressed his delight in the program. ‘‘I loved working with the kids,” Nesbit said. “They were so proud of what they were able to do in such a short period of time. I drew on their en- thusiasm.” The variety of serious, comical, touching, and hilarious acts brought praise and laughter from students and parents who filled the auditorium for both performances. — Angie Madel TALENT, ORIGINALITY, The “Chaise Brigade” captured the Follies with its majorette- inspired act.

For an “Out of this World Experience, students entered the ballroom through a tunnel edged with silver streamers into an at- mosphere of near- total darkness brightened with silvery stars suspended from the ceiling. Walls were darkened with black plastic to enhance the silver and blue color scheme. “The decorations were pretty simple,” junior Jason Foote said, “but the videos made the dance dif- ferent.” Videos of couples danc- ing filled the screens along with the original music videos. The excitement of prom was heightened by screams of couples who saw themselves on film. Commercial videos of songs played added to the entertainment. Flori Blain and Adam Weissman were the first prom queen and king to be announced on video camera. Julie Askins and Brad Vandiviere crowned Blaine and Weissman who danced the royalty dance to strains of “Endless Summer Nights” by Richard Marks. King candidates includ- ed Quin Trimbo, Kirk Gustafson, Rico Monroy, and Matt Campbell and queen candidates were Christy Robinson, Stacy Dunham, Debbie Jordan, and Maja Lithander. The Junior Class spon- sored a few “last- minute” fundraisers to earn money for prom. A date auction, which raised the majority of the money featured five senior girls and five senior guys: Lesley Zier, Bev Shore, Kathi Larson, Maja Lithander, and Kristy Mag- gert along with Mark Beaton, Doug McGrail, Quin Trimbo, Greg McCunn, and Butch Crawford. Two aggressive girls competed for Beaton until one finally gave up and let senior LuAnn Tipps pay $ 133, the highest bid for a night out. “I was really amazed. I had been telling one of the Junior Class officers no one would even pay $7 for me,” Beaton said. ”1 was glad that 1 went through with it. 1 had a really good time.” —Tina Michael DECKING THE HALLS.

Students at Senior High earned valuable job ex- perience while selling items to passersby before school, during lunch, and after school in front of room 107. “Some people got real- ly demanding ' sophomore Debbie Quiroz said, “so you really had to know how to deal with them.” German Club, Z-Club, ceramic students, ma- jorettes, Student Council, Indian Club, Activities Klub, yearbook staffers, and class officers took ad- vantage of the centralized vending area. German Club members sold a variety of food items every Wednesday during both lunches. “Although we sold both pretzels and nachos ' sophomore Roby Den- mark said, “our best seller was the pretzels because kids could buy a cup of cheese to eat with them for only 10 cents.” If students were running a little late to school on Thursday mornings, they didn’t have to sit through their morning classes with a growling stomach because they didn't have time to eat. Z-Club members awaited these late students in front of room 107 with donuts they sold to add to club treasury. “1 usually sold (donuts) every Thursday morning,” senior Sophia Smith said. “My mom would get to school early anyway, and 1 enjoyed doing it. Smith's mother taught Spanish and advised the Z-Club. For those seeking something creative, .ceramic students had art sales in the main foyer of the school twice a year. Students priced and sold their creations for extra pocket money. The majorettes big fun- draiser was the sale of the traditional B-Day mums. Popularity of sending a mum to a friend or sweetheart caused the ma- jorettes to over- sell the number of mums ordered, forcing some of the ma- jorettes who received numerous mums to give them up to fill additional orders. Sophomores sold mugs bearing the names of the Class of 88 during the last week of school. “The money we earned from the mugs,” sophomore Brian Mehus said, “is going to the Prom fund we’ve started.” Signs that read “Indian Taco Tuesday” led students to a table set up by the Indian Club where they bought “fry bread” topped with taco toppings for $1.25. AK officers sold flowers for “that special someone on Valentine’s Day and us- ed the money to sponsor the Miss Broncette dance. Yearbook staffers also had their share of selling experiences. The staffers took turns selling year- books every Wednesday during lunches. “Even though selling yearbooks took my entire lunch hour,” junior Keith McBride said, “the person I sold them with made the time fly by.” —Kristen Roller Hallway VendorsY 177 vr i i Generate school spirit “I joined Horn Patrol because we could do things other people wouldn’t to gain school spirit.” — Jason Nygren “Mrs. Link was the one who got me involved in Pep Club. She said it would be in- teresting and a lot of fun.” — Renee Wold “I got involved in Horn Patrol after my brother and I went to a football game. I saw the Horn Patrol getting pretty crazy, and 1 liked that.” —Troy Owens As the number of dub lembers dwindled, Horn atrol and Pep Club prov- i that big things come in tie packages. “We have only about 10 15 members in Pep ub,” freshman Renee old said, “but we have n and show a lot of hool spirit.” Horn Patrol's numbers re also down this year. ‘Horn Patrol varies ?ry year,” advisor Bob rris said. “This year we ✓e about 12 good Horn trol members.” Even though numbers re small, both Horn trol and Pep Club ieved that they did help lerate school spirit. ‘Pep Club is a good club be in,” freshman Erica derson said, “if you’re erested in going to all 2 games and supporting your school.” Pep Club not only sup- ported ectracurricular ac- tivities but also the leaders of Senior high. In order to recognize the students of the week, their names and photographs were placed in the showcase in front of the main office. “Pep Club sponsored Students of the Week,” Anderson said. We felt that we should let these students know that their above- average grades and extracurricular activities are recognized.” However, school spirit got out of hand when Horn Patrol took it too seriously. “We like to cause trou- ble, make fun of the referees, and cause pro- blems for the other schools,” junior Robert Nikula said. “Sometimes we get a little crude. This year Horn Patrol members were banned from all school games except home games and Metra games. 1 guess’we offend- ed the other schools.” Despite being banned from the other schools, Horn Partol members thought their presence prompted students to get involve d in su pporting the teams.

Experience necessary It wasn’t far from sing- ing in the shower to sing- ing the lead in “My Fair Lady” for senior Mark Cornelius. Cornelius thought that he did not have the time to participate in many ex- tracurricular activities un- til his senior year. “When 1 was a sophomore, a senior girl heard me singing ’ Cor- nelius recalled. “It wasn’t much — 1 was just mess- ing around -— but she told me 1 should try out for choir. I always kept that in mind.’’ Without any experience, he tried out and made the Morthweste rs, a guys barbershop quartet; the Expressions, the top swing choir; and the Varsity Choir.

(Photo by Kari Koch) DCrn.G-' Different language Singing in front of an audience and partaking in an initiation rite is frightening at best. For a foreign exchange student, becoming a member of Accents proved to be a frightening reward. Petra Edvardsson, an exchange student from Sweden, said that she en- joyed her year as a member of the all- girls choir, a branch of the mix- ed choir. “1 was a little scared when 1 tried out because back home we sang most- ly lead, not harmony,” Ed- vardsson said. Choirs in Sweden sing popular music in contrast to the vocal jazz perform- ed by the Accents. “We sang more popular music back home,” Ed- vardsson said. We sang music from G2 and other popular groups.” The exchange student expressed surprise at the number of boys enrolled in the mixed choir. “Back home the guys don't sing in choir. They consider it ‘nerdy’ Ed- vardsson said. Not only was the music and the membership dif- ferent but so were the re- quired costumes. ”1 hate to wear high heels because 1 hate it when guys are shorter than me,” the 5 foot 7 Swedish girl explained. We had to wear them with our dresses to perform. At home I practiced walking in them and I kept falling. I didn’t think 1 could ever do it.” But if Edvardsson could have changed one thing in Accents, it would have been the color of the dresses. “I hate pink. I wish they could have been black or green.” To be a part of Accents, students experienced an initiation at the hands of the veteran singers. “They (choir members) came to my house early in the morning. They didn’t let me get ready or put any make-up on; all I could do was put my robe on,” Ed- vardsson said. “They painted my face and gave me the nickname of Alf. I don’t know why, but it was fun.” The cultural adjust- ment, Edvardsson said, was worth the effort. “Mr. Halpin (choir direc- tor) was my biggest help,” she said. ”He helped me to develop my voice, and he understood when 1 had problems singing a part.” The Swedish singer said that she enjoyed being in Accents, although she couldn't pinpoint the lear- ning experience. “1 learned a lot, but I’m not sure what it was,” Ed- vardsson said. � —:Koch SPIRITED LEADERS.

You get a lot more out of it than just learning how to put on your makeup,” senior Melissa Gallagher said. While some students might have thought that the majorettes only prepared for performances by fixing their hair and putting on makeup, the group spent at least an hour and 10 minutes every day before school practic- ing for performances. The corps also practiced dur- ing the summer months. I didn’t realize how many days and how many hours it took, but it was all worth it, sophomore Chelsea Aipperspach said. While many girls said that being a majorette took up more time then they first imagined, they agreed that the rewards outweighed’ the time spent. Two of the four senior leaders. Tiff Davidson and z Karin Larson, both became involved in ma- jorettes to be more active in school. I wanted to be involved in an activity, but I wasn’t very good at sports,” Davidson said. Being a majorette had other good points. It has made me feel more important, and it has made me feel better about myself,1’ senior Lynnette Brewer said. Some girls also found that being a majorette helped them to be more out- going and that they made friends easier. “Before I was a ma- jorette, 1 wasn’t very out- going,” Aipperspach said. I have gained a lot of friendships.” Majorettes enjoyed close friendships within the corps. “It was like having 40 sisters,” Davidson said. Brewer agreed, com- menting on the closeness of the corps, They are all like my best friends.” —Amy Aldrich Student Life MASS CONFUSION.

(Photo by Ltsa Birkeland) MIRACLES The tension of waiting for the first cue is enough to drive a beginning actor or actress to distraction. Fortunately, this ner- vousness was never ap- parent to the audience, and the fall and spring plays received excellent reviews. Cnusual in high school because of its emotional nature, presenting The Miracle Worker helped the students develop their dramatic talents. The fall play about Helen Keller re- quired much determina- tion and practice. Everyone took the play seriously because we wanted to prove that high school students could put on a difficult play, junior Jennifer Brockie said. ‘‘It was really hard at times, but everyone had a good attitude, and we were able to portray the characters well.” The cast thought that the play was a success and admitted that its difficulty brought them closer together. Spring brought mystery to the stage with Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap, presented in May. The cast included four sophomores and four juniors who said that they enjoyed working in a small group. “Since we were able to spend more time on each individual, we really stress- ed knowing our parts,” sophomore Cori Stine said. If the others felt that a cast member could im- prove his character, we would tell him so.” The amiability of the cast members made cooperation problems minimal. The students were able to express their opinions about the direc- tion of the play, which helped it run smoothly. “I liked the personalities of the cast,” junior Keith McBride said. If we hadn’t gotten along, the play wouldn’t have gone as well.” However, a play always has its problems and the reversal of Rob Schwarz’s and Bob Struckman’s parts worried a few of the members. Because Schwarz was ill for a week, the two had to learn their new lines in two weeks, and the other students had to learn how to respond to the characters correctly. It was kind of scary with their roles being reversed,” Brockie said. “Up until we performed, I was addressing Rob and Bob by their old stage names.” Backstage joking and teasing nearly kept the cast too preoccupied, several actors admitted. Sometimes it was hard to go back on stage because we were having so much fun in the back,” Struckman said. Stine thought that it was the best cast that she had ever worked with during her two years of acting, in- cluding her work with the Missoula Children's Theater., —Janna Birkeland TIi) Spring Plays 85 COLT CHEERLEADERS: (FRONT ROW) Darby Siems, Sara Pittack, Jennifer Ording, Jackie Vasquez, (SECOND ROW) Chrissy Coan, Randi Dodd, Brenda Richards, Lora O’Conner, (BACK ROW) Shellee Markins, Bridget Conver, Stephanie Schmidt, and Heather Marvin.

Their screams couldn’t really be described as shrill. And they didn’t even wear those short skirts. But the new addition to the varsity cheerleading squad could definitely be described as cheerleaders — the male kind. 'The cheerleaders ask- ed Greg and Aaron and me to help with flip flops and other gymnastics because we had been on the gymnastics team,” senior Quin Trimbo explained. “They tricked us into it — I was told that they wanted me to teach and help with tumbling and flip flops,” senior Aaron Ar- redondo confided. “As it got closer to the time of the first Senior West game, they (the varsity cheerleaders) started teaching us routines.” Arredondo wasn't dif- ficult to “trick,” however, the cheerleaders agreed. “Aaron also has a weakness for a ton of women in short skirts,” varsity cheerleader Amy Aldrich, junior, joked. The male cheerleaders served a two — fold pur- pose on the squad. We figured that since the guys of the crowd wouldn’t cheer with the girls, maybe they would cheer with the guys,” junior Julie Askins ex- plained. “The guys also weren’t afraid of getting hurt doing pyramids and other stunts so I felt really safe,” “The addition of guys on the squad added strength and a greater number of pyramid possibilities,” junior Angie Madel added. “They added depth and balance to the squad,” Aldrich said. The males recognized their value to the squad and said that they enjoyed their experience. “We also made everything more relaxing —everyone was more at ease and we added a lot more fun,” Trimbo Z — Student Life z remarked. The male cheerleaders cheered for all the “cross- town rival” boys basket- ball games and the final home game of the year. “Four days before each West or Skyview game, they would come to prac- tice so we could perfect cheers and pyramids,” Aldrich said. “The worst part was get- ting up every day to be at practice at 6:45 a.m.,” senior Greg McCunn said, expressing the feelings of all three male cheerleaders. “We did have the oppor- tunity to go to boys divi- sionais,” Trimbo said, “but we already had com- mitments so we weren't able to go.” All agreed that having male cheerleaders on the squad added to the crowd’s spirit. “Most people thought it was really great that we would get out in front of the crowd and cheer,” Trimbo said. “At first, the crowd didn’t know how to react,” Arredondo explained, but after the first game they really yelled and sup- ported us.” “We added a lot of extra spirit,” McCunn added. “Having guy cheerleaders created a new twist.” The male cheerleaders became an integral part of the varsity team and good friends of the girls. “Working so close with all the cheerleaders, 1 made some really good friends,” Arredondo said. “I really learned how to work with a group of peo- ple,” McCunn remarked. “It was also sort of a cure for stage fright.” “When 1 went up to Great Falls to watch the divisional tournaments, 1 really missed not being out there cheering,” Ar- redondo said. “If I had to live my senior year over, I would definitely be a cheerleader again.” — Karin Larson HEAD AND SHOULDERS.

'T UamjCaJL FAIR LADY GREAT z Did you hear the story about the bum and the language professor? Well, there’s this real rich guy, right? And he can tell where anyone is from by listening to his voice — anyone in the world, y’know? Well, this professor finds this really poor girl who, like, hacks the English language to bits. And so this guy’s friend bets this professor that he can’t teach this girl to speak like a really rich no- ble person — a lady, y’know? — and, like, fool all these people at this one party. So this professor takes him up on it, and, well .... Sound confusing? It all made sense when this entertaining plot was presented by the Senior High Choir Department in the form of My Fair Lady, the musical that took place March 17, 18, and 19 in the Senior High auditorium. “To try out, Miss Hansen (the director) gave us bits of two scenes and called people up to the stage to read certain parts,' Leah Haney, junior, explained. “I tried out and Miss Hansen asked me what 1 wanted to be,’’ senior Mark Cornelius remarked. “I ac- tually only wanted to play a Cockney; I got Higgins. “I wanted to be Eliza because it’s the lead and it’s an excellent part,’’ senior Lysa Halpin said. “My Fair Lady is my all — time favorite musical and I’ve wanted to play the part of Eliza for as long as I can remember. As with every produc- tion, many unplanned “oc- currences happened. “In one scene, I have to eat a piece of chocolate, Cornelius explained. “The first night the chocolates had a marshmallow center and took about 50 seconds to chew — 1 had to make all these goofy ex- pressions while I chewed to make it look like it was suppose to happen. “On Friday I was sick and couldn’t concentrate on my songs, so 1 started to make up my own verses,” Cornelius added. “If 1 thought one of the verses would sound silly, 1 would just mumble the words and make it sound like the microphones didn’t pick me up. “There’s a bar scene where everyone is suppose to act drunk, Halpin remembered. “There was water in the bottles and they had a huge water fight — everyone came off the stage just drenched. Although the Music Department lost about $200 in the production of the musical, the cast members remained positive. “I was really glad after it was all over,” Halpin con- fided, “but if I could do it over again, I definitely would.” —Karin Larsv THREE STOOGES.

Sophomore Bob Struckman attributed his improved speaking skills to his time spent on the debate team. “You learn how to speak in front of people,” Struckman said. “I used to be super shy, but after I joined Forensics 1 really opened up,” senior Kristie Wise said. To do well in extem- poraneous speaking, an event during which one must give a speech on a national event with little preparation, Hedin found that he had to “keep on his toes in national affairs.” Only 36 students made up the team, causing it to be the smallest team from the three Billings public schools. Alexander said the small size of the team was because of a lack of knowlege of Forensics throughout the school. Head coach Sari Fichtner agreed that most students were unaware of Forensics activities and opportunities. “When you don't have a big, strong program, peo- ple just don’t know about it,” Fichtner said referring to the small team compris- ed largely of inexperienc- ed underclassrr Fichtner the nt iat the team did for lie amount of ex.

I got addicted the first time, and I’ve been going ever since.” Weekends weren’t the only time students found “time on their hands.” When homework was finished, week nights became long and boring. “When I get out of school, 1 go home and sleep.” senior John Chat- wood said, “or I’ll call my friends to see what they’re doing.” Lifting weights or exer- cising after school was a popular thing to do. ’’After school I lift weights to get in shape for track,” sophomore Marie Mager said. “I want to be in shape before the season starts so that I can improve my running time.” Although students found their own fun, most agreed that Billings lacked recreational facilities for teens. “Billings needs something to get students interested. ! thought The Slide (rei ring to a former teen b. w a good idea,” C. two d said. “Billi. no Js a good place f mi rs where they can -t t ether and have a id le,” Chat- wood sa “I v. h Billings still had e, ve ,.'i theaters.

(Photos by Shan- non Johnson) STUDENT GOVERNMENT NOT PRIORITY Don’t forget to vote!” Candidates had to make voting their business because no one else did. Students were known for being somewhat apathetic toward the Student Coun- cil and class office elections. Because students seldom realized the impor- tance of voting for their class and school officers, the turn- out tended to be low. ___ To run for a class office, students needed to com- plete a petition with a re- quired number of student signatures and have their dean sign the petition stating that they were eligible to compete. After the candidates completed their petitions, they began preparations on their posters. Posters ranged from print with markers or poster paints to more elaborate creations with pictures of the candidates, artistic drawings, and computer print- outs. ' I didn’t even plan on making posters until so- meone suggested it to me,” junior Pax Haslem said. ‘‘People said I should because it was traditional.” Generally primary elec- tions eliminated all but two candidates for an of- fice. Because so few students sought offices, candidates went through only one election, the general. We just didn’t have enough people running to justify it (a primary elec- tion),” Student Council ad- visor Jeff Weik said. When students didn't know who the candidates were, casting a vote was difficult. One candidate suggested giving speeches again. 1 think the election pro- cess in general is a waste, junior Dane Sobek said. [Nobody knew who they were voting for and they couldn’t see who the can- didates were. Speeches were done away with three years ago because of the student body’s poor and demean- ing behavior toward the candidates. Competitors stiil think that speeches are a positive addition because speeches enable the students to see and learn about the candidates. “Approximately 30 per- cent of the student body cast their ballots,” Weik said. That was a better turnout than previous years.” —Tina Michael mmm Wh m :;:j .WM mwmv. ‘I want the opportunity to help make the decisions that affect me and my classmates.

Miss Broncette usually is a spirited member of the student body, however, and more often than not, is an athlete. Chris Masters garnered the 1988 title over classmates Tammy Adkins. Tiffany Davidson, Cathy Coan, and Julie Keck. The Miss Broncette title traditionally goes to a girl who is involved in school activities such as sports, clubs, and student govern- ment leadership positions. Masters, an outstanding member of the girls varsi- ty basketball team, was also involved in volleyball and softball. “I never thought I would get nominated, let alone win, Masters said. I was real excited. It was an honor to get selected as Miss Broncette.” Each of the girls receiv- ed a long-stemmed red rose from the Activities Klub presented by Leslie Zier. Masters received a cowboy hat instead of a crown with her rose. The Miss Broncette dance was not a formal royalty dance. Activites Klub, the sponsor of the Miss Broncette Dance, set the tradition to wear western attire years ago. changing the dance from a Valentine's Day sweetheart theme to a western hoedown, accor- ding to Beverly Jellison, club adviser. AK has been in ex- istance since Senior High first opened, and the club’s involvement in the school has varied over the years. In the past, AK built floats on B- Day and sponsored contests and banquets. This year AK sponsored Winter Formal, treated themselves to a spring and fall banquet, made cakes for the B- Day picnic, and visited nursing homes.

Members of Marching Band started practicing the week before school began, and continued throughout the rest of the football season. Practices ran from before 7 a.m. to shortly before 8 a.m. every week- day morning during the season with the excep- tion of mornings after night performances. On the other hand, Pep Band practiced only the first week of school and mornings before every performance with the majorettes. Most band members agreed with junior Shan non Rollo that the worst part of Marching Band was “definitely the early morn- ing practices in the cold!” Rollo went on to say that the best thing was “the people involved with band.” “Most of the kids in band are friends,” Rollo said.“Many of my best friends are in band.” Some members claimed that they joined extra- curricular bands because it was common for everyone to try out. “Marching Band just looked like something that would be kind of fun to be in,” senior Andy Maheras recalled. “They wouldn’t let us try out in my freshman year,” Rollo explained, “so 1 real- ly wanted to try out my sophomore year.” Most of the members of Marching Band were also involved in Pep Band. Rollo prefers Pep Band to Marching Band for more than one reason. “You can talk to your friends more in Pep Band,” Rollo said, “and it has a more relaxed at- mosphere than Marchinq Band.” Although most agreed that Marching Band was more time-consuming and stressful than Pep Band, the long hours of dedica- tion paid off in perfor- mances and competition. The band’s performance at Daylis Stadium in the first Marching Band Festival resulted in five superior ratings and one superior minus. “Everybody’s just work- ing together to get a job done,” Maheras added, “as Tangen always tells us.” — Lisa Birkeland IN THE BEGINNING.

Girls interviewed had mixed feelings toward the male population of Senior High when the day of the formal arrived and they still didn’t have a date. However, the majority of the girls, especially seniors, who didn’t attend Winter Formal found that they had a greater desire to take someone to TWIRP since it was the only for- mal they could be guaranteed of attending. “I was really disap- pointed, “ senior Sarah Hannah said. “It's my senior year and I didn’t even go to my Winter For- mal.” Most seniors said they probably would have gone to Winter Formal with almcfst anyone who asked them, since it was their last year in high school. But the most disap- pointed girls were those who had a certain guy in mind, and had to face the KINETIC CLUB: (FRONT ROW) LuAnnTipps, Gwen Zachmeier, Robin Martell, Mindy Edwards, Dawn Bushard, Teresa Eckert, (BACK ROW) Sponsor Ruby Morris, Lanette Tipps, Tara Brady, Trista Borchardt, and Sue Sanderson. disappointment when he asked someone else or decided not to go at all. “I went to Winter For- mal my junior year and it didn’t really mean that much,” senior Brooke Warberg said. Planning and decorating for the annual holiday dance was divided between Activities Club (AK) and Kinetic Club, two social groups that at- tracted mostly girls. AK handled the royalty nominations and the crowning at the dance while Kinetic Club was in charge of decorating, sell- ing tickets, and planning the dance. An archway to dreamland, constructed with blue and silver stars and balloons, directed the students into the Student Onion Ballroom at Eastern Montana College and enhanced the “Dreams” theme. Kinetic Club’s other in- volvements were sponsor- ing a spring dinner, giving May baskets to children in the Pediatrics Ward of the hospital, and sponsoring a B-Day booth. —Tina Michael Royalty Photos by Cetrone Studios Winter Formal _ 7 201 Ice Princess Karin Larson Ice Prince Jason Deigert JAMMIN’ WITH THE BEST “it’s exciting to see the popular groups come to Billings; they look different in per- son than they do on TV.” —Jeff Aure “The Metra is a valuable asset to the city of Bill- ings; however, it was intended to house conventions and sporting events, not rock concerts. The acoustics of the Metra are inade- quate for con- certs, especially compared to the Alberta Bair Theater where you can hear and appreciate the music.” — Geoffrey Barrow Si Mo matter where the students went or what they were doing, music played a crucial role in brighten- ing dull activities and making fun times that much more exciting. Whether the student was studying or partying, a radio could usually be heard in the background. Walkmans were common for both excercising and relaxing, and friends jammed out in cars while “cruising the point” on week- end nights. According to a student poll, favorite soloists sang anything from pop to light rock, and the favored groups were classified as singing hard rock or “heavy metal.” Popular singers includ- ed Whitney Houston. George Michael, and two new performers, Debbie Gibson and Tiffany. Rock groups such as Def Lep- pard, IMXS, Whitesnake, and Metallica were also popular with the student body. Whitesnake, Def Lep- pard, Heart, David Lee Roth, and The Jets drew crowds to the Metra with their varying styles of music. Most teenagers said that they enjoyed the concerts that they attended. Several artists, in- cluding Matalie Cole and Cher, made a comeback. Michael Jackson gained popularity again with his Bad album after being absent from the charts for over a year. Patrick Swayzee made the charts for the first time with his hit single “She’s Like The Wind.” The hot- selling Dirty Dancing soundtrack included many other hits, featuring both new and old songs. In the country music category, students men- tioned George Strait, Ken- ny Rogers, and Alabama as some of the most popular performers. Other students who preferred the mellow sounds of classical music attended pianist George Winston’s once't at the Alberta E Th a ter. Rap ic ecame more pop as ie teens jammed LC' dI J and the new om Vs rap group, S n ppa, at parties ant. dances. Although all the polled students expressed favorite styles of their own, they seemed to appreciate new styles as well. — Lisa Birkeland MON-TOXIC POISON.

(Photo by Julie Askins) An excellent sound track combined with ris- que dancing of teenagers attracted crowds of students to Dirty Dancing which was undeniably the favorite movie of the year. Although home videos were popular because of their reasonable prices, students continued to sup- port the local movie theaters. Student poll results showed that teens went to movies most often with their friends on weekend nights. The theaters were also a popular place to go on first dates; however, some students said that they went “only when there was nothing better to do.” In the summertime teens often went on week nights or during the daytime when discounts such as Ladies’ Might, Men’s Might, and matinees helped the student’s budget because prices were cut from $4.50 to $2.50. Favorite movies of the year other than Dirty Dan- cing, starring Patrick Swayzee and Jennifer Grey, included Secret of My Success, starring Michael J. Fox, and Fatal Attraction, the suspense- filled movie starring Michael Douglas and Glenn Close. Teens admired ac- tresses Demi Moore, Meryl Streep, and Bette Midler, and actors Eddie Murphy, Mel Gibson, and Jack Nicholson. The wide variety of ac- tion, comedy, romance, and horror movies appeal- ed to students. They could usually find at least one movie that sparked their interest enough to spend the extra money at the theater instead of on a home video, — Lisa Birkeland ________________— 1 , - Music and Moviesy ) 203 y UNCONTAINED CHOAS.

We’re finally out of here!” Voices of students sharing their plans for the upcoming fall and conversations between seniors reminiscing favorite or even em- barrassing times fell among many ears. The Senior Class didn’t have any trouble finding fun at the annual senior picnic. Activities included frisbee football, softball, volleyball, and plenty of food. 'The activities made the picnic really fun,” Mike Mattheis said. “We were graduates out having fun together, and it was just great!” The Senior Class officers and class funds sponsored the picnic that ended before students set out for other evening activities. Teachers served a dinner of fried chicken, pasta salad, rolls, ice cream, and coke. While students were eating, Mother Mature sent wind and small showers to Pioneer Park that scat- tered seniors to close shelter in cars and under trees and park equipment but left the spirit of celebration undampened. “As soon as I got my food it started to rain,” Shawna Jacobson said. “I had to run pretty fast to the shelter across the park to keep my food from getting soggy.” Common scenes to witness in- cluded cameras flashing and girls hugging and crying while others couldn’t stop laughing and gasp- ing that high school was finally over.

Students displayed the top with shorts of all colors, mini-skirts, and jeans. ‘The shirts were a good idea and had a neat design,” Anne Steel said. “It was neat so many people purchased them. It will be something I will keep for a long time.” At the end of the picnic, voices echoed statements of satisfaction, enjoyment, and gratefulness for the opportunity to have a class picnic. “It was great because I got to spend some time with my friends before the day was really over,” Melissa Gallagher said, “The class was together, like a family.” — Tina Michael z A.

While School District 2 Superintendent Roger Eble told the Class of 1988 that “life is a series of short stories,” a series of sparklers interrupted the seriousness of commencement for the 406 graduates.

Bidding the Class bon voyage Caribbean- style with everything from palm trees and a fountain to the small portholes along the walls, the Rad Grad Committee spent hours before commence- ment decorating the old gym to resemble a cruise ship. Students spent hours searching the walls for the four feet by six feet postcards on which was written a personal letter to each student there. “I thought that the parents did a great job with the decorating,’ Susie Thomas said. “I especially liked the post cards written to each of us.” “1 couldn’t believe that it was our gym,” Lorie Haacke said. Forgetting that the people mak- ing nachos and snowcones and replenishing the supplies of frozen yogurt, cookies, peanuts, and piz- za were parents of themselves and their friends, students partied the night away playing games, eating, and dancing to the wide variety of music played by the Calamity Jane Players. ‘‘The Calamity Jane Players were great,” Sue Habener said. 'They play the music our age group likes — ‘50s and ‘60s rock PUTTING HIS FEET UP. As the hour grew later, many students took time to rest on the patio furniture set around the dance area.

A breakfast of home- made ham and cheese egg muffins, cinnamon rolls, milk, and orange juice serv- ed from 2 until 4 a.m. made an ear- ly breakfast. Later an auction led by Republican nominee for (J.S. Senate Conrad Bums began. Some of the bigger prizes donated to the party were sold for millions in money bearing the faces of pin- cipal Jim Rickard, vice- principal Joe Cross, teacher Katie Link, and dean Duane Ahlgren. “I bought a small refigerater at the auction,” Marty Edeler said. ”1 won about half of the money at the penny toss and the rest 1 got from my friends who realized that they didn’t have enough to buy anything.” A slide show, presented by photography teacher Charles Sucharda and his student Karen Simonich, that highlighted the year from B- Day to Prom was set to music and provided a few sen- timental and sometim tearful moments for the gradu es. “The side show s at because it was a rev ot he whole year,” Quin Trirr sal It was really memorable The final drawings of ie $ JO, two $200, and the grar. prize of $ 1,500 were drawn for and award- ed. Because the students had to be present to win, most of the students stayed until the last prizes were awarded at 4:30 a.m, “I was almost out the door when my number was called,” Johnson, winner of $200, said, “but 1 went home with a smile.” ‘I’m going to spend most of the money on a trip to Boston,” Habener, winner of the grand prize, said. The rest I will put in the bank to collect interest.” — Janelle Sundheim HULA- HOOPLA. Keeping the hoop spin- ning as long as possible, Mark Cornelius participates in the hula- hoop contest.

Owner- manager Bill Dimich boasts three graduates from Senior High. The Pepsi- Cola Company originated in Red Lodge, Mont. While growing up, Dimich remembers the rule his father had about the fami- ly business. “My father use to make each of the children in our house work at the plant on weekends ’ Dimich said. “He told us we had to work for our meals.” Dimich met his wife at Montana State University in Bozeman. They settled in Bill- ings and sent their three children through the Billings school system. Each child at- tended Rimrock Elementary School, Lincoln Junior High School, and finally Senior High School. “I feel that the Billings school system prepared my children for the world, 11 Dimich said. 1 only have praise for the education that the schools gave my children.” Tom, the oldest of the three, graduated in 1975. After graduating from col- lege, he worked for Burl- ington Northern Railroad. Ap- proximately two years ago, Tom returned to Billings to work for the family business as an accountant in management. Carol, the oldest daughter, was editor of the Bronc year- book in 1978 during her senior year. She majored in journalism at the University of Oregon and worked on the Washington Post in Washington, D.C. Presently she lives in Washington state and is doing public relations for a museum. Nancy, a 1982 graduate, edited the Bronc Express dur- ing her senior year. After at- tending Princeton University in New Jersey, she is living in Boston and is a member of a rowing team, a sport she pur- sued in college. Nancy receiv- ed a Rotarian scholarship to study in France for a year. “Of course, Senior High is my favorite school ’ Bill said, “but Pepsi Distributing sup- ports all of the schools. Pepsi quenched the thirst of graduates at the Rad Grad party and swimmers at the state meet, all donated by the Dimich family. “The family business hasn’t changed a great deal through the years, Bill said. All of my kids had to work at the family business if they wanted to eat at night. — Erin Johnston Advertisements z DAILY VISITOR.

Love, your family Community core aids adolescent generation gap Parents and teens can feel reassured that the Rimrock Foundation has 20 years of ' experience helping chemically dependant youth overcome their illness and start a new life without chemicals. The Rimrock Foundation adolescent unit, located at Saint Vincent Hospital and Health Center, provides treat- ment to chemicallly depen- dant youth throughout the region. Karla Carey, supervisor of the unit, says that the unit receives referrals from cities throughout Montana and Wyoming. “There are more people from outside of the Billings area than in Billings who use our services,” Carey said. Each patient receives a specifically tailored treatment program, suited to his in- dividual needs. The adolescent treatment program includes working to return to the normal developmental process, to re- intergrate into a strengthened family unit, and to learn problem-solving and coping skills. “It’s like undoing a lot of knots in their lives,” Carey said of the program. The unit tries to help teens find the values they misplac- ed when they started using chemicals, and to help their patients raise their self- esteem. “When we change the behavior, values begin to sur- face,” Carey said. Part of the adolescent treat- ment program includes the parents. The adolescent unit makes a special effort to in- clude the entire family in the treatment. “It (chemical use) affects the whole family and the whole family needs treat- ment,” the unit supervisor said. Once the 35- day residen- tial treatment is completed, the patient attends after- care sessions to “help them deal with the real world.” The Rimrock Foundation adolescent unit blends therapy with education, recreation, and nurturing— that makes it a special progam. ’ — Amy Aldri( icn z Advertisements 223 Tina Michael Tina’s organized and prolific quest for knowledge.

They promise everyone some kind of entertainment at the YMCA, a service organization for the entire family. Whether it is running laps on the track or testing skills at the Creative Youth Learning Center, the Y keeps everyone in mind. Our goal is health and fitness for the whole family,” program director Bill Clagg says. The YMCA serves 20,000 people in the Billings communi- ty sometime during the year.” To get a body physically fit, the YMCA offers a variety of solutions. After a hard day at school, one can take out his frustrations at the open gym, hit the racquetball courts, or go swimming. For those with concerns for aerobic fitness, the YMCA offers a youth membership for only $30. Youth can enroll into aerobic classes for either high or low fitness. The Y” also boasts two tracks for those who enjoy running, jogging, or walking. Some people need activities to challenge their minds. The Chess Club meets once a week,” Clagg says. We also have a youth and government program that meets at the students' school so they don't have to come downtown.” The Y” also features a youth development program that teaches youths to reach their potential and to develop their leadership skills. The family enrichment pro- gram provides counseling to parents of pre-teens to ward off the fears that come with the peer pressure years. It also teaches both parents and teens how to communicate and understand each other. The place for today’s youth to escape pressure lies at the Creative Youth Learning Center. This division of the YM- CA creates an environment just for the teenager. The center in- cludes pool tables, a big screen television, and computers for recreation or tutoring. Fun and entertainment come hand in hand at the YMCA. They invite the public to come down and enjoy the racquetball courts, the pool, the basketball courts, or one of the many fami- ly activities. � —Erin Johnston You were a winner then, you re winner now, and you’ll always be a winner, if you go for it.

Bethann Johnson National Merit Scholar and senior staff member of the Bronc Express, expressed her feelings on leaving Senior High and her 405 classmates. We think Bethann’s words are worth remembering. Graduation. One simple word that sends chills down the spines of seniors everywhere. We at Billings Senior High are no exception. Suddenly we find ourselves spinning from day to day trying to grasp the final moments of high school before they are gone. Why are we so nostalgic? 1 assure you, it’s purely acciden- tal. Somehow, in the midst of all our complaints, we have grown to love this place. Our three years here were centered around learning, not merely from a textbook, but from the people around us. More important than the for- mulas and dates were the lessons in life. High school was our time to face such important issues as drug use, drinking and driving, death, sex, college, politics, faith, and trust. Our opinions have been shaped by our teachers, families, and peers. As the Class of 1988, the time has come for us to apply these values in the lives we establish after graduation. For many of us, this new life will include plans for continuing education. We are fortunate to be graduating from a school that has prepared us well for the academic rigors of college. Throughout our classes, we have been introduced to literal- ly thousands of ideas. Most im- portantly e ho-'-e been taught to apply se Teas. Of coi w Jid more than learn he t c iior High: We lived! W w led separate lives, we si1, ed the unique experiem o Senior High. Almost ery weekend, we spirited [Tones were in the stands cheering our team toward victory. The memories of those events will warm our hearts for years to come. The smell of hot chocolate and the rockin’ beat of Johnny B. Goode hovering in Daylis Stadium, the flash of sequined majorette uniforms and the scent of hot, buttered popcorn at the basketball games, the caresses of warm sunshine, and even warmer friendships, during the B- Day picnic; we have experienced the best things in life. Inevitably, these good times were balancd with the bad, but we have proved to ourselves that we can survive the tribula- tions of the real world’’ in which our parents can no longer shelter us from the unpleasant realities. With this self- con- fidence and a little luck, we will meet the challenges of the future.

The yearbook staff received assistance from sales representatives Mike and Don Mer- back of Casper, Wyo., and factory representative Bob Boyd. The book’s cover was designed by editc rs Kell Emmerick, Laura Spenr jr. and Jan Sundheim with grapT assisr ice by Dylan Zaher who .o d: the cartoons and grap 'sed ughout the book- He me st varied from section to s n v. each section staff choc j its typeface and style. Index ,d en n.eets, and mini-mag head typ Goudy Handtooled, as is .ie copy stopper used as a graphic design throughout the book and on the cover. Type used for headlines in the opening, closing, and division pages is Helios Bold, which is also used in sports and student life sections. Peo- ple section headline type is Helios Rounded Bold. The academics section headline type is English Times and English Times Bold combined with hand- writing of staffer Aaron Arredondo. Tina Michael, senior staffer, did the cursive writing in the Student Life section. Features in the ad section used Dom Casual headlines and were add- ed to the book this year to get students interested in the advertise- ment section. Body copy throughout the book is Korinna regular and caption copy is Korinna bold. Korinna extra bold is used for the page folios which were designed by editors and drawn by Zaher. The book was printed on 80- pound varnish enamel matte paper stock with white linen endsheets which also feature an enlarged ver- sion of the Goudy Handtooled period used as a copy stopper. Chuck Sucharda, photography teacher, trained the staff photographer and guided his photo journalism class that provided photos for several sections for which they received photo credits. Mike Sheffield and his staff of Life Touch National School Studios photographed the juniors, sophomores, and freshmen for the people section and took the group photos of clubs and teams. Seniors selected commerical photographers to take their portraits and the Senior Class helped defray the cost of the senior portrait section. Local commerical photographers donated portraits of the royalty candidates. Special thanks to 1987 graduate Sandy Johnson and the Billings Gazette for some of the photos used in the sports section and the gradua- tion section. Type was set by students telecom- muting on Apple lie computers via modem to a Compugraphic MCS located at Yellowstone County School District 2 Instructional Materials Center. This was the fourth year that students have type-set the entire book by this method and prepared the entire publication by gluing copy and photos to the pages. The staff extends thanks to Mrs. Martha Tanner of the Instructional Materials Center for processing the copy for us for the past four years. Next year the book will be published using Macintosh computers and desktop publishing equipment. Although on first reading the theme of the Bronc Yearbook may sound negative, the staff endeavored throughout the opening, closing, and division page copy to tell other events and activities which inspired school spirit inspite of sports teams that brought home only one state championship. Thanks also go to Pat Seivers who cleaned the journalism rooms daily and seemed to enjoy it. We’ll miss her special attention next year as Pat is moving to an elementary school and we’re sure she’ll miss our rubber ce- ment wads and border tape! —The Editors THANKS! Events were covered better this year because of the first semester photo-journalism class. Always there with their cameras were {FRONT ROW) Steve Moss, Amanda Westerman, Mike Barnett, Debbie Jordan, Joan Deichl, Amy Combs, (BACK ROW) Steve Sukin(not a photographer), Marty Edeler, Keith McBride, Jo Holen, Sara Berg, and Shannon Johnson. Colophon 249 BRONC PRIDE. Heather Wagner and the Bronc mascot Michelle Barovich cheer on the Broncs at a basketball game played at MetraPark Arena. Games against the other two Billings public high schools were played at MetraPark Arena because of the large crowds attracted to these games. Whoto by Kelly Emmerick) one of those year ooking back, it was “just one of those years — a year that wasn’t great for sports, but a year which held plenty of great memories and accomplishments in other areas. Just a year when the band began making history by sending a recording to All- Northwest competition which will probably ensure them another spot at the festival, making it the first time any band has attended three con- secutive years. Just a year when a junior girl was elected president of the Mon- tana Association of Student Councils at the Statewide meeting in Forsyth. As president of the MASC, Angie Made! will chair and host the September meeting in Billings. Just a year when a journalism student won a cash award for the first time. Tasha Schroeder, also a junior, received $250 from the American Medical Association and Columbia Scholastic Press for a medical feature story. Just a year when Matt Agnew was awarded $ 1,000 and advanc- ed to state competition as “Youth of the Year for the city of Bill- ings, proving that the top students attend Senior High School. Just a year when two students rated among the top one percent academically in the nation. Bethann Johnson and Brian Bell received scholarships as National Merit scholars. Just a year when math teacher Gene Smith made a hole in one at the teacher’s last day of school golf scramble. And English teacher Pat Smith won a national writing award and and Charlie Nesbit and A1 Wise were cited by Montana State University as teachers who had most influenc- ed and assisted their students’ success in college. Yes, in great memories and great accomplishments, it was certainly '‘Just one of those years!” Closing 7 BRONC BIRTHDAY. Birthdays were a big deal in room 206 where journalism staf- fers celebrated each other's special day. Centrally located on the second floor, the journalism room also became the noontime gathering place for a group known as the “lunch bunch.” (Sub- mitted photo) IRREPLACEABLE PERSONALITY. By simply smiling, Jean LeBar brightened the day for students who stopped by room 107 to do club business, register for a sport, or simply seek informa- tion. LeBar, who work- ed at Senior High for 1 3 years, left a void last April when she was transferred to the Career Center. (Sub- mitted photo) ROWDY response: Graduates celebrate by throwing hats, balloons, confettii, and toilet paper when the band began to play the school song for the last time.
