MOUTHWATERING TREAT. 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

 WRONG SCHOOL, WRONG SEX. 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. Z I Opening
