 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

It wc another h d be just n set :tud ol it body ality A'ere were i without tl to give it ivie and class. 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.
