All students seemed to find their niche at Senior High, making it the melting pot of city schools. (Photo by Geoff Barrow) 1trot As the doors opened, smokey air filled the class- rooms from fires which raged throughout the state. They burned countless acres of Montana and en- gulfed Billings in a haze of smoke that hovered over the campus until October. Athletes practicing outdoors were forced to wear surgical masks to protect them from the smoke- filled air. The atmosphere inside the school was brighter be- cause of summer remodeling. Lowered ceilings retiled floors, and a new patio and fast-food win- dow in the cafeteria improved and modernized the nearly 50-year old building. The usual freshman frenzy was not quite as harried because the Senior Advocates sponsored an open house two days before school began. This group of seniors felt especially qualified to escort new students through the big building on Grand Avenue because they were the first class to attend Senior High for four years. Attending musical and drama productions, cheering on the Bronc teams, studying to maintain G.P.A.’s, and participating in countless extra-curricular activities, Broncs let their spirit run wild. No matter what group the spirited Broncs hung around with or what clique they belonged to, everyone fit into the barn, even if he was A Horse of a Different Color. U WEIGHTED DOWN WITH BRONC PRIDE.

(Photo by Steve Moss) t a steady pace It wasn't an exciting year, but 1989 opened on a good note and ended the same way. A well-planned and executed B-Day was marred only by a commu- nication problem with a pizza parlor, which was quickly forgotten when Rax Restaurant arrived with more than enough roast beef sandwiches to feed the hungry Broncs. The sports teams won a few, but none brought home state championship trophies. However, sev- eral athletes excelled individually. Mid-year, Lindsey Jones returned from an ex- change experience in Brazil in time to be named the classes’ only National Merit Finalist. A teacher was told that she, like Jones and Tasha Schroeder (ex- change to Spain) would receive a taste of foreign education; Marlene Cushing will teach chemistry in London next year as a Fulbright Scholar. Hastening their pace a little, the journalism students returned from national competition in Anaheim, Calif.,with three individual awards and a second place rating for the Bronc Express. For the Class of '89, the year began with a chal- lenge: to return dignity to commencement ceremo- nies. Inspite of a last-minute change in location, dig- nity returned with an academic flair. Honor students were given special recognition and the principal cited seven students for special achievements, stressing that each Senior High Bronc really was A Horse of a Different Color.

There's a time to work and a time to play. Fortunately, school provided a time for both. Before and after school, during the five-minute break between classes, and the 35-minute lunch hour, Broncs gathered in corners, by lockers, and in classrooms to see friends and to make plans for the weekend. Although games sometimes lacked that winnning spirit, Bronc fans filled the stands. Movies and VCR parties provided entertainment on slow weekends, while Pictionary and card games maintained their popularity at house parties. The 12-mile-marker and ranch land were popular places to gather after games and when students just wanted to hang out with friends. No matter what the season, Broncs seemed to be experts at just horsing around. QJ u u u u u KAZOO FEVER.

Rather than spending the summer vacationing out of town, some under classmen spent a month and a half learning the rules of the road in driv- ers training. The day I got mv li- cense, sophomore Brenda Mager said, T went driving around Bil- lings just for fun.' Summer was not all work though. Some stu- dents went to the near- est park to walk, to run, and to play sports. My friends and I went to Pioneer Park to play softball and frisby a lot, sophomore Amy Witcher said. Whether students va- cationed, played sports, or spent the summer in boredom, the vacation relieved the pressure of homework. Debbie Quiroz I . TINY BUBBLE?

The volunteer counselors helped the children dress, eat, and find their way around the camp. The activities included horse-back riding, swim- ming, bowling, and relay races. After a long day, the counselors often took a stroll in the woods to relax. Junior Treg Silkwood learned to admire the handi- capped. He remembered an amusing camper who he en- joyed having in his cabin. The camper was eligible for the camp because of his deformed feet that required him to walk with crutches. Bob was really hilarious be- cause he'd sit on top of his bed and call everyone who walked by him 'fatso' for no reason, Silkwood said. Each counselor was respon- sible for four or five children. Junior Grace Berube had a difficult time adjusting to the campers' mental ages. At first Ed talk to them like little kids, even though they weren't, Berube said, but af- ter a while, I learned to treat them like a friend. Berube putin much time get- ting the children ready in the morning because she would have to describe details that she assumed they already knew how to do. It was hard to adjust be- cause I'd have to explain things I assumed they'd know how to do, Berube said, like brushing their teeth. Though the camp required much work, Berube admitted that it was rewarding. It was great helping them, she said, They have a lot to give. It; Debbie Quiroz NEATLY PACKED.

The Broncs dressed as wild as possible, to show their pride and enthu- siam during spirit week, Oct. 4 through 7. More freshmen and sopho- mores chose to sit out and watch the upperclassmen par- ticipate in spirit days, proving that pride comes with age. 1 was disappointed to see that most of the sophomores weren't dressed up until Fri- day, senior Jennifer Strouth said. But, the seniors and jun- iors got into it all week. Homecoming was a blur of school colors, with a parade that wound its way around Pioneer Park, a first-time oc- currence in this decade made possible by Student Council President David Quiroz, T was marching in the band. 11 was OK, except for thestupid gjrl behind me, junior Mark Soueidisaid. Shekept yelling, 'SLOW DOWN!' and 'SPEED UP!' A ARG! The sound of the dismissal bell at 12:15 p.m. Friday set off a chain of events that went on into the late afternoon. Various clubs and sports teams spon- sored booths with money- making events for the tradi- tional carnival outside at Day- lis Stadium. The B-Day bomber at- tracted the most attention and participation. Student Council officers borrowed a horse from sophomore Danielle White which they fed and put in a field. They sold squareyard s of the practice field fora quarter a square. The students bought squares in hopes the horse would bomb on their square. However, the horse didn’t co- operate. I spent two hours sitting behind the horse with a camara waiting for it to do its busi- ness, Senior Class treasurer Keith McBride said. Unfortu- nately, it ran away from us and dumped its load on the run- ning track. Even though the Broncs lost the football game against Charles M. Russell High School, the students were filled with homecoming spirit and support for the team. Sev- enty-five percent of students polled said B-Day was better than last year. Cheerleaders sponsored the informal dance in the old gy m after the football game. B-Day royalty was named at 11:00p.m. 'The best part of B-Day was my B-Day kiss that came true when 1 thought it wouldn't, junior Tom Miller said. Who says B-Day isn't magical?

Football, mums, the Bronc Bomber, a carnival, a parade, the traditional foot- ball game, and the homecom- ing dance filled the day and night with an air of excite- ment. The selection of a B-Day kingand queen highlighted the homecoming celebration and dance for both students and candidates. When i found out I had been nominated, the first thing I did was call my mom, senior Karen Simonich said. The excitement I felt was something I cannot express in words. To be selected by your classmates is an honor. Students really do care and appreciate the hard work that many seniors put into Senior High, senior David Quiroz said. Royalty gave many of the B-Day festivities a touch of class. The candidates were proudly presented by horsedrawn carriages to the student body and some par- ents during the afternoon par- ade and to the the homecom- ing game’s crowd during halftime that evening. The most memorable ex- perience for me was riding around in the carriage, senior Erika Boggio said. CARRIED AWAY. Homecoming Royalty travels in style during the B-Day parade. They also rode around the track during halftime at the football game. (Photo by Keith McBride) Candidates became closer friends through the time they spent together. There seemed to be a spe- cial closeness between all of us, senior Jenny Oakley said. Being one of the only infor- mal royalty dances, the candi- dates dress consisted of casual attire. Many wore slacks or blue jeans and sweaters. It was nice to be able to relax and dress casually. You did not have to worry about all the formal attire, senior Becky Gilbert said. While 10 seniors waited anxiously for the announce- ment of the king and queen, others relaxed and danced to the music provided byZ97. It was nice to be able to go with your friends, junior Eddie Jordan said, and not have to worry if your date was enjoy- ing herself and having a good time ' It wasanoppurtunity to go out and have fun with your friends, junior Angie Treat said. Atthestrokeof 11 p.m., sen- iors Tyler Williams and Becky Gilbert were crowned King and Queen. It was so exciting, Gilbert said. I couldn't believe that I had really won. The royal court consisted of Boggio, James Clevenger, Sam Fisher, Kim Garrison, Gilbert, John Nickcy, Oakley, Quiroz, Simonich, and Williams. Thecandidatcs remembered B-Day '88 mostly for the honor of being chosen by their poors for the first royal court of the class of '89.

(Photo by Amy Aldrich) Student fashion designers use talent to create their own clothes :• ECIPE FOR FASHION Falling apart at the seams? Students followed the latest fashion trends with two meth- ods of aquiring their favorite styles. Recipes for fashion ranged fromcasualand comfortableto dressy outfits. Students ob- tained these fashions by buy- ing them already made or de- signing them at home. Senior Becky Gilbert put to- gether colorful outfits accom- panied by matching accesso- ries. I buy dressy clothes, (such as) dress pants and skirts, Gilbert said. If I really like something. I'll spend more. A similar result made from scratch was less expensive and guaranteed to fit. This recipe called only for materials and some effort. One of senior Stephanie Baez's favorite styles of cloth- ing took the form of home- made crotch pants. They were a baggy stretch pant with a knee-length crotch. I make mostly what you can't find in the stores, Baez said. If I see something out of a magazine that I like and can make, I will. Baez planned to minor in Fashion Design in college. Junior Treg Silkwood also designed many of his clothes. By dying plain tee-shirts with colorful designs, Silkwood created a style of clothing he enjoyed. I like basically anything I can afford, Silkwood said. I make tic-dyes and I also paint shirts. Fashion Design was junior Amy Kelley's choice of a car- reer, also. She made some of the clothes that she wore for school, and made formal dresses. I have made six formals and I sold two of those, Kelley said. I also made a wedding dress last summer. Just as Mom's homemade pie was usually preferred over a store bought pie, some stu- dents prefered making their clothes over buying them. U Gina Sanchez Fads Fashions Ii CRUISIN' THE HALL.

In a way it made me feel better because we (freshman) really got to unite together as a class with so few of us around ' Senior Bryan Mas- ters said, we were the first freshman class. When told they would or would not be attending Se- nior High, the class had mixed emotions. I was bummed because I missed out on being in the highest grade in junior high, Cori Matteuci said, but I was also glad to be one of the first freshman attending this school. I was unhappy that I could not be in hign school, Dale Johnson said, but proud to be in the final nighth grade class of Lockwood. Students polled thought that attending junior high was just as much of an ad- vantage as being a freshman at Senior High I thought it (attending Lockwood Juior High) was an advantage, Keri Knowlton said, because I knew every- one, and we have a special bond that will never be mature so much faster than the people that stayed in the junior high, Rhonda Guenther said, since you are with people that are two to three years older than yourself. Students said that their par- ents seem to like the idea of their teens going to high school for four years. My parents felt it would be good for me, to go to Seni- ors as a freshman. Masters said. They thought Td mature more in a four-year high school, Troy Owens said. It was the best year of my life. 1 made a lot of friends ' Amy Cochrane said, and Til never forget most of the things that I did that year.

Senior Scott Chesarek used the rule to his ad- vantage. While attend- ing Riverside Junior High, he became the first freshman ever to participate in varsity sports at Senior High. It was a great oppor- tunity to come over to the high school for wrestling, Chesarek said. The kids made sure I knew what was going on, and the coaches made sure I got out of school to go to pep assemblies and on the road trips. HI Michelle Gabaldon LETTERM AN.

New members welcome. Although PA announce- ments during homeroom didn't increase attendance at Key Club, friends still came to meetings to be with friends. Key Club proved to be more social than anything else. Members enjoyed working for the various causes, but the time they remembered most was the time they spent with their close friends in the club. Key Club is a great way to socialize and do something good for other people at the same time ' junior Echo Cloninger, president, said. With membership reaching its peak at 25 active students, the officers struggled to find interesting speakers and en- joyableacti vities for those who attended meetings. 'There's got to be some- thing we're doing wrong, junior Gillie English, secretary, said. We've got to make it fun. That's hard sometimes. The annual statewide con- vention attracted the attention of potential and current mem- bers. During.my freshman and sophomore years, I lived in Helena and I had friends in Billings who were active ' English said. They told me to join Key Club so I could see them at convention. Being able to see my friends was a big pa rt of my becoming so active. Key Club members shared many fond memories from the annual international conven- tion in Anaheim,Calif.,inJuly. At the international con- vention, these Jamaican Key Clubbers were going to teach us how to dance their style ' English said. In Anaheim we got to meet people from all over the world. Conventions not only al- lowed members to socialize with people from around the state and world, but they also gave them a chance to get to know members from their own dubs. Sitting in the hotel rooms and talking, we really got to know each other a lot better, sophomore Eldena Bear Don't Walk said. People you didn't think had anything in common with you -- you find out they do. Most Key Clubbers agreed that the friends they made through activities were the best aspect of the dub. Most people are very ac- cepting and willing to have fun even if they don't know you very well, English said. We have a great group!

You can sign up to do whatever services you want to, freshman Anne Gangstad said, and selling con cessions is always fun. The Muscular Dystro- phy Association was the most popular cause. Club members manned phones for the Jerry Lewis Telethon, spon- sored a dance-a-thon, and sent counselors to summerMDA camps. Although services were time consuming, junior Brandon Lahren said 'You have so much fun, it never seems like you're working. U Anne Alexander DISHING ITUP.

Foreign language dubs introduce unusual tastes axrci customs OREIGN FLAVORS 3 Tacos, pretzels, and crepes! Food may have been the rea- son for the large enrollment in foreign language classes at Senior High; foreign language clubs thrived. From Spanish Club taco day to German Club pretzels during Wednesday lunch periods, foreign lan- guage club activities centered largely on bringing the given culture into the school. French Club's activities in- cluded making traditional French food several times dur- ing the year. We usually made crepes once a semester, junior Mara Reisman, French Club pre- sident, said. While we ate, I gave presentations about my trip to France. German Club's major project was selling authentic soft Ger- man pretzels at lunch time. We usually sell a pretty good number of pretzels, jun- ior Erik Erben said, and some- times we eat all the leftover pretzels during class. All three foreign language clubs celebrated Christmas with foreign customs, though not necessarily their own. We have several banquets every year,usually with Mexi- can food, Spanish Club mem- ber Chou Cha said, but this year wc had our Christmas banquet at the Mayflower of China! German Club members spent free time in November and December peddling tradi- tional German advent calen- dars to fellow students. The thing that makes our advent calendars popular is the fact that they have choco- late in every window, Erben said. French Club celebrated the holidays by selling candy canes that were delivered to students during school. We couldn't sell the broken candy canes, so we kept them to cat ourselves, Reisman said. A lot of them con- veniently got broken. Spanish Club even staged a foreign initiation of officers. The new officers got to try to break a pinata, Cha said. When it broke, everyone scrambled and stuffed the candy into their pockets. On B-Day, French Club brought a little of their chic culture to the carnival with a French (Club) kissing booth. It (the booth) wasn't a great success, but it was really fun, Reisman said. I think the name of it scared people. The foreign language dubs gave members a chance to continue their understanding of other languages and cul- tures while getting involved in the school, and, as Cha said, to pretty much just have fun.

Majorettes thought of their performance as a sport and of themselves as athletes. I think it is a major sport ' senior Rachel Avery said. People watch uspcrform,and they think we are playing. Performance time may not have been as long as the time required for competition in other sports, but the practice time began in June and ended in February. Wc put in just as much prac- tice as athletes because wc go every day ' sophomore Kim Schmidt said. We are just as dedicated, even if wc don't per- form as much as they play Schmidt could speak from experience of dedication be- cause she was named Bronc of the Week for finishing a per- formance although she was in- jured. At the Senior-West football game, I dislocated my knee during the splits ' Schmidt said. It really hurt, but Ididn't even think about walking off. Sympathy ran high through- out the corps when a girl was hurt. The caring atmosphere showed when Schmidt was in- jured. I heard Kim start to cry and I yelled, 'Kim, arc you okay?', senior Karen Simonich, leader, said. But then I messed up on my arms routine, so I had to ignore her. Accidents also occurcd dur- ing practice, and sometimes exhaustion took its toll. I fainted a lot after I per- formed and during practice ' Avery said. I was really low on iron, so I would start to breathe heavy and my eyes would just stay in one spot. All in all, the majorettes es- caped with only five major in- juries during the season. Even though it was a low number compared to other athletic teams, i t was high for the jettes. Majorettes isn't really a con- tact sport, senior Megan Cox, leader, said. The injuries weren't expected, but acci- dents do happen. Extensive practice time and unfortunate injuries scaled the jette's athletic status, at least in the eyes of the corps.

A A • A A • A Students take the time to make Winter Formal a special night MEMORABLE EVENING A A A A A A 1 A A A A A A J Students found that a story- book winter formal required more than just finding the perfect gown or tuxedo. Senior Rhonda Guenthner missed sixth period the day of the dance to get ready and also spent a good month before the dance to find a dress and to tan. Guenthner said that she spent the extra time because It's just that fun thing you do in high school. You don’t get to doit when you get out (of high school). Girls weren't the only ones who spent a lot time trying to find the right attire. We (my date and I) spent at least four hours picking outa tux ' senior Julie Askins said. Generally, guys, like girls, spent many hours preparing for the evening, but, unlike most girls, they only spent about a half an hour on them- selves the night of the dance. I didn't care what I looked like as long as every thing went well, senior Tyler Williams said. While some girls had weeks to prepare for the special occa- sion, sophomore Melissa An- derson was asked to go to the formal sixth period the day of the dance. I didn't haveanything bet- ter to do so I said 'okay', she said. Anderson's preparation consisted of firming a dress out of her mother's closet to wear to the dance. I didn't have time to get him a boutonniere, but it was okay because it was his fault that he asked me so late, Anderson said. Though Anderson didn't have the stress of shopping for a dress and trying to deal with last minute disasters, she wished that she had had the time to look forward to the evening. The preparation of getting ready and getting a dress is just as important as the dance itself, she said, U Amy Aldrich PREPARING FOR THE SPE- CIAL NIGHT.

DVANCE PREPARATION 2 j; A successful Winter Formal dance required months of advanceplan- ningbyAKClub mem- bers. We started two months ahead choosing colors and deciding the theme ' senior Megan Cox, AKpresident, said. Balloons and tickets had to be chosen before most students started thinking abou t going - to the dance. About 10 club mem- bers spent almost 12 hours blowing up hun- dreds of balloons and decorating tables and a real Christmas tree for the dance. Although die girls had to devote hours of their time—and the bal- loons deflated — Cox thought that the dance was a success and the result was definitely worth the time spent. 5J: Amy Aldrich Michelle Young, Rand I Dodd, Kirsten Forsyth,and Babbs Weissman blow up balloons for Winter For mat; The club used 500 bjUoons for decorations.

Parents or peers frequently pressured athletes, but stu- dents, like senior Sirpa Lahti, pressured themselves. Lahti's involvement in the dance group, Ultimate Touch, caused her to strive to be the best dancer she could. I want lobe good at it (danc- ing) ' Lahti said, because I like it She thought it was acceptable for an adviser or coach to pres- sure students or players. FILLING BUBBLES.

(Photo by Geoff Barrow) A coach putting pressure on students makes them try harder, Lahti said. Senior Peggy Tipton agreed with Lahti. She thought having her coach for support pushed her to the finish line in a cross country meet. Tipton said that applying pressure should depend on the person’s ability to cope with stress. If someone doesn't handle pressure too well, Tipton said, I think supporting them, instead of making them feel like they're stressed, is better.

Students handled pressure differently; some talked about stress with friends. Peers or family helped many to achieve their goals, but others relied on personal motivation.

Three cheerleaders look back on the changes after four years OUR -YEAR VETERANS ✓ _______________________ I —£-J With four years of cheer- leading under their belts, sen- iors Becky Gilbert, Rhonda Guenthner, and Holly Miller have seen changes in both the activity and in the spectators since they first cheered as freshmen. The girls saw three squads change to only two. This meant that freshmen would cheer on the junior varsity squad, and sophomores could try out for the varsity squad. The veteran cheerleaders viewed the introduction of so- phomores Randi Dodd, Heather Marvin, Lora 28 Student Life O'Connor, and Jacqueline Vasquez onto the varsity squad with mixed feelings. At first I was really skepti- cal. Even though it's only two years, they are a big two years, Miller said. Another change was the ac- ceptance of cheerleading as a sport. Senior Michele Enstrom said that at the boys basketball divisional tournament, the team admitted that they thought of the cheerleaders as athletes. 'The team told us that we worked harder and longer then any other sport, and we deser- ved to be called athletes, En- strom said. They gave us a standing ovation on the bus and told us we did a great job sticking by them even though they didn't win. It really made us feel good about ourselves. Spectators' attitudes also changed. For a while I don't think they thought it was a sport, but over the year attitudes changed, Gilbert said. They have to think that chcerlead- ing is for the whole year and sports go only for a few months. U Amy Aldrich DOUBLE THE SPIRIT. Jody Bergstrom partners Tifan Reiter in a stunt at a pep assembly.

Dean Bladow, math teacher, said that he enjoyed putting on an act for the students. I like to participate in the assembly for the students and for fun, Bladow said. It lets them (students) know that we (teachers) have a personality. Bladow had participated in the Grceci an Wa terite for many years. Bladow, along with Bob Burris, Mike Jablin, Chuck Sucharda, and Jim Dow, filled empty wine bottles with water and spit onto the opponent's mascot. Bladow laughed when he explained the worst part of the act. I just hate finding an empty wine bottle, Bladow said sarcastically, or emptying one. Teachers also contributed to the faculty assembly by stand- ing in frontof the student body with faces painted on their stomachs. They danced with hats covering their heads, showing only their stomachs and legs. Mel Hendrickson, history teacher, related dancing on the gym floor to teaching in a classroom. It's all for entertainment, Hendrickson said. 'The class- room is really justlike a stage in front of a crowd. It (being in front of the students) doesn't bother me a bit. Teachers entertained the students with the assembly and expected the tradition to continue. I've done the assembly for years and expect tocontinuc to participate, Bladow said.

Senior High's Horn Patrol had a hard time presenting their club as a spirit organization and not a group of drunken party goers. Q. What is the purpose of Horn Patrol? Jason Nygren: A couple of years ago it was a partying group. No w we are here to help the cheerleaders with spirit. Q. How do you feel about the Horn Patrol image in the school? Tonia Trollope: It has lost it's outrageousness, fun, and craziness. Mark Coxwell: The Horn Patrol isa good idea and should stay active, but, because of a few members in it and the way they act, the Horn Patrol has become a laughing stock and a detriment to the school image. Q. Do you ever plan cheers or game spirit activities with the cheerleaders? Shawna MacGregor: No. It seemed they didn't want our help. Mark Coxwell: Some mem- bers tried, but the cheerlead- ers got so they didn't like the HP. Some members would insert inappropriate words and mess up the cheers, so we usu- ally don't associate with the cheerleaders. Do you have regular meet- ings? Jason Hoines: Yes, every Wednesday. How many participate that are signed up? Jason Nygren: At first they all do. In the end, only half participate. How active do you con- sider yourself as a Horn Pa- trol member? Jason Nygren: I got in as a sophomore, and I really participated. Then the spirit died, our teams started losing, and all the good members graduated. I was a good pre- sident but thenlgotthe'fizzle- out-fever I wasn't very active this year. Mark Coxwell: I liked Horn Patrol except for the negative image it started to get and because a few members messed the club up, I think the HP is a good idea, but it needs leader- ship that can keep it under con- trol. The Horn Patrol used to be a good idea. Members needed to work together for a better club because students continued to negatively label the club and its members. Either do something pro- ductive with the Horn Patrol or get rid of it, Hoines said.

AAA Tradition forgotten; students chose anyone for royalty OT ALWAYS AN ATHLETE A sports queen crowned with a cowboy hat, at least following the old tradition. Students seemed to forget that the Miss Broncette Dance was originally designed to honor a jockette. Girls who represented school spirit by participating in school athletics and school sponsored clubs used to be nominated. It is supposed to be for jocks, senior Lynn Lutter said. Before, we picked girls who were in sports, but this year it seemed like the student body just picked anyone. In the past, it has always been jocks, senior Pax Haslem said. This year, just like everything else, the Senior Class screwed up. One of the reasons upper- classmen thought that the nominees were not athletic was because of the ignorance of some of the students. Not enough people know that Miss Broncette is for jocks ' senior Rhonda Fiscus said. In years before, jockettes were honored by this dance. Some students hoped to bring the custom back. Girls who are involved in athletics deserve some kind of recognition, junior Angie Treat said. It should remain a tradi tion. U Jennifer Solie ROCKIN’ BRONC STYLE.

Student Life KINGFOR ANEVENING.David Preferred at theTWIRP dance in Valdez was crowned Mr. late winter. When TWIRP rolled around, most girls scrambled to ask their favorite guy to the dance. However, three girls chose to omit something from the TWIRP tradition — a date. Seniors Jennifer Strouth a nd Rhonda Fiscus and junior Jodi Kerby solved the problem of finding a date by going with each other. 1 didn't want to spend all that money on a guy ' Fiscus said. I didn't like anyone then and it's kind of useless to spend all that money on someone you don't even like. The si ngle TWIRP goers re- ceived mixed reactions from parents and peers. A lotof people thought that we were crazy ' Strouth said. I talked to some girls from Skyview, and they said that they wouldn't be caught dead going to TWIRP alone. I think a lot of people thought it was neat because we had a really good time, Fiscus said. The girls found that going without dates made the eve- ning more relaxed. According to Strouth, there were no uncomfortable -situations: no stuffy dresses and no guy to worry about how you looked for him and what to say to him. I could talk to all of my friends, Kerby agreed, and not feel like I was dragging someone around. All three girls found that going stag made TWIRP their favorite dance. I took a date the year be- fore, Kerby said, but I had more fun without one. A lot of people think that it's bad if you don't ask some- one, Fiscus said, but going with your friendsis thebest.

With such events as the Soviet pull-out of Afghanistan and various explosions in Billings occuring during an election year, students found it in their best interests to keep on top of the news flow. Throughout the year, stu- dents were bombarded by election propaganda pushing candidates for political offices. The most noticable race was for the United States Presi- dency. The Republican candi- date, George Bush, visited Bill- ings twice to gain votes in the region. I really enjoyed seeing George Bush in person, sen- ior Kathleen Olson said. See- ing Bush made the election seem that much more real. While students could not agree whether the election re- sults were the best, some thought the media did a poor job of covering the election. The news coverage dam- aged some candidate's image when it shouldn't have, sen- ior Todd Struckman said. It enhanced some poor candi- dates. Sure, it was a bit of a 'mud- slinging' campaign, but in the end, the right man won, sen- YOUNG REPUBLICANS. Brian Cebull and West High student Sean Elliot participate in the Quayle ralley. During his vice- presidential campaign, Dan ior Brain Cebull said. I still wish Ronald Reagan could have run for another four-year term. Students also learned about the infernos that burned through national parks in Montana, Wyoming, Colo- rado, and California. Heated debates occurcd over the Park Service's Let It Bum policy. Many thought the policy of al- lowing natural fires to con- tinue burning caused the fires to burn out of control. Others believed the fires were a natu- ral process of clearing the for- ests of debris. I feel that the 'Let It Burn7 policy should stand, a stu- dent poll-respondent said. But it should be regulated in extreme situations like last year. The entire fire situation just got out of hand, Olson said.

Junior Jeremy Bert and sev- eral other couples wrapped up their evenings by watching the sunrise from the Rims. Since we were up that late — or that early — we decided to go see the sunrise, Bert said.

They were at youth group. Students thought youth groups were a good outlet to the daily grind of life. After I go to church and Son- power, 1 feel better about my- self ' senior Laura Muhs said. For some students, goingto church was a way of life. They attended with their parents since they can remember. I've gone since I was a little kid ' senior Brad Vandivere said. My parents don't make me go; I want to. Students attended for the serious side of youth groups as well as the social aspect. Skiing, video parties, and re- treats were just a few of the ac- ti vites of the youth groups. We plan things on our own because our leader, Nat Seiler, encourages us to be our lead- ers, Vandiviere said. We sometimes just meet at someone's house and get mov- ies and popcorn. A few youth groups have- Bible studies in between every- thing else. Sometimes they met on another day of the week for the studies. When we get to Sonpower, we talk a little, Muhs said, then we have our meeting, and afterwards, goof off. Some students may have thought it took too much time to get involved in a youth group, but students who were involved disagreed. 'It does take time, Vandivi- ere said, but I suppose if'your relationship with the Lord is important, it takes pre- sidence. U Jennifer Solie SHARING TOGETHER.

''You need one sheet, 20 match boxes, 15 towels, and one complementary note- book. Ready ... get set... go! Endeavoring to beat stress, two debaters of the forensics team decided to release the pressures of a meet by organ- izing a scavanger hunt. The catch was that all items had to be taken off the maids' carts. It was really funny be- cause while Kirk Enstrom dis- tracted the maid, sophomore Chris Huck said, I would try to take the stuff off of the carts. Huck and Enstrom weren't the only ones who liked to raid the maids' carts. Junior Tom Miller and sophomore Mike Fortune made it common practice to go by the maids' carts to get boxes of candy that were for new guests, and hide them from the maids. We asked this 250-pound maid if we could have some of her mints, Miller said. She said 'no so we decided to borrow some of the delicious mints anyway. Raiding the maids' carts was not the only enjoyable thing about the forensics trips. Other forensics team esca- pades included encountering hotel security for swimming in the pool too early, locking people in the bathroom on the bus, putting flammable ob- jects in the toilet, and conducting late-night wrestling tournaments in the hotel. But people didn't join forensics just for the after-hour antics. I joined it (forensics) be- cause it is fun to go out of town and meet a lot of people from other cit es, sophomore Car- son Keating, said. It improves your speaking skills and gives you more self-confidence in front of people. U Michelle Gabaldon Student Life u MIDNIGHT RAID.

M EET YOU AT THE MEET 1 Learning how to speak in public wasn't the only benefit gained from participating in forensics. Billings Senior High team members used spare time at forensic competitions to meet friends from other teams. It (the meet) gave us the chance to see each other (friends from other schools), freshman Tina Reynolds said. Competitors learned different tactics from each other. I watched other speakers to improve my own ability, sophomore Jason Hoines said. Whether forensics members were lost in other schools or con- fused in their own, they discovered that finding new friends was a bonus from participating on the team. U Roby Denmark A BITING QUESTION.

Heads turned and jaws dropped. ' He's hot! She makes me sick. She's so perfect! Check her out! He's really nice, too. Not all macho like some guys. What did high school guys and girls think about each other? When 100 students answered a poll, most girls agreed that good bodies and looks were important in finding a mate, but not to the extent that sensi- tivity was sacrificed. The fol- lowing is a list of quotes from the poll. Big macho men are the big- gest tu m off. A guy can have a great body and still be sensi- tive. I'd love to be stronger or as strong as my boyfriend. It'd be great to be a body builder. 1 prefer a guy who can show his feelings and not be embar- rassed. That macho image has got to go. I don't like feminine guys, but they shouldn't act like they're Sylvester Stallone if they're 105 pounds! I ignore the tough, manly image. I like the real down to earth type. Men don't need to be domi- neering, and women don't ha ve to be led around by a ring in their nose. I personally like a guy who has a good body, great looks, a great personality, of course, arid is tan I like being pampered and taking care of the guy I like. Stereotyped masculine and feminine roles are outdated and can be very damaging. I don't like being thought of as a dainty girl, but those dainty, fragile women some- times turn out to be very ma- nipulative. Male poll respondents had more varying thoughts than the girls. I believe that people are unique and shouldn't have to worry about masculinity and feminism. The idea of helpless girls and protective guys doesn't bother me. People don't usu- ally fit into those stereotypes anyway. Men, stronger and smarter, should dominate. However, the woman should not submit totally to him but instead jerk him around to keep him hun- gry- I like a feminine woman, but intelligence and independence come with that. I think a man should be in charge while also having re- spect fora woman's feelings. There is a difference be- tween men and women's man- nerisms, but both people should offer equal roles in a relationship. Students seemed to agree that any extremity of sexism was offensive, but some mas- culinity and feminism was appropriate, since these were the very qualities that, as an anonymous poll respondent said, both intrigued and con- fused the members of the op- posite sex.'U Anne Alexander 46 Student Life Students discuss masculine and feminine stereotypes and their effects on relationships O BLONDES HAVE MORE FUN ? • V AN AFTER SCHOOL RENDEZ- VOUS.

Spirit sweatshirts appeared at B-Day several years ago. Senior Megan Cox, AK presi- dent, continued the tradtionby designing sweatshirts that in- dicated grade levels. Black is for the seniors ' Cox said, orange for the jun- iors; white for the sophomores; and gray for the freshmen ' Randi Dodd, an active so- phomore member, helped or- ganize Winter Formal and the Miss Broncette dance. I liked helping with the dances and being involved in AK Club ' Dodd said. I feel like I can help raise spirit, As the dances became a cus- tom for the members so did some of the prizes. The Miss Broncette winner received a western style prize, another tradition. The prize for the candi- dates of Miss Broncette has always been a cowboy hat and flowers ' senior Kristen Rol ler, AK vice-president, said. This spring, AK held a din- ner which honored new offi- cers at Dos Machos. The dinner honored the ac- tive members ' Cox said. We chose the new president and vice-president that the mem- bers nominated. Cox also cleared up the mis- conception that the club al- lowed only girls. We (members) are all girls, she said, but guys are welcome. My brother was the first guy in the club two years ago. We haven't had any since then. The club centered its service-oriented tasks on lift- ing spirit. We try to get everyone to stand up and cheer in a game, Roller said. Dodd agreed that standing and cheering improved spirit. Having the club members cheering at a game helped other students to get involved in a game, Dodd said. Roller agreed that the tradi- tional idea of pep and sweat- shirts contributed to school spirit.

Alumni joined the mass choir on the stage. A sudden hush fell over the audience as the choir president stepped forward to sing the last verse of Silent Night. The Christmas concert tradition began in 1959 with former Billings Senior High chorus director, Arthur Brandvold. Three direc- tors carried on traditions for 40 years. Each concert began with the narration of the nativity scene. Brandvold intertwined music into the story. We used to tell the whole typical Christmas story in the concert, Brandvold said. We had cardboard scenes and everything. The best stage effect was the fake snow that fell from a cylinder on the roof. In 1972, the tradition was passed on to John Trepp who continued the traditions until F. Paul Halpin became the director in 1975. I decided to carry on the traditions, Halpin said, because so many studentslook forward to them each year. Each year choir alumni return to sing The Straw Carol with the mass choir. Most of the alumni visit us after their first year at college, Halpin said. Hook forward to it justas much as they do. Brandvold started the tradition of caroling in the halls. Caroling continued upon request. When we caroled in the halls the first year, Brandvold said, the ad- ministration told us that we brought Christ- mas back to Senior High.

Beatrice, hard and seemingly uncaring, ra- diated anger toward her children, Ruth and Til- lie, who received her scorn with quiet and sorrowful faces. She (Beatrice) did love her children ' Berg said. Her only redeem- ing quality was that she still loved them, al- though she couldn't show them. REVIEW Senior Asifa Kadlec as Ruth, a teenager wrapped up in a young girl's fancies, gave a convincing portrayal of a frightened and crazed teenager with half a mind. Tillie, who exposed her experimental mari- golds to varying intensi- ties of radioactive Cobalt 60 for a science project, blossomed like her experimental flowers with her expo- sure to people and science. Her successful project was named one of the five finalists in the school science fair. Senior Jodi Wam- hoff'sen trance as Janice Vickery in the science fair brought much- needed comic relief from the dramatic shress of the play.

A group of select individuals from the Northwestern United States met in Boise for the All-Northwest festi- val, bringing together some of the brightest talent from Washing- ton, Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana. Three or- chestra students audi- tioned for and made All-North west: senior Gabriel Plank, viola; senior Samuel Smith, cello; and sophomore Matthew Thorpe, vio- lin. The trio said that such achievments can only be obtained through stringent practice, de- sire, and inspiration. Sophomore Rinney Fujiwara looked to his sisters as a model of in- spiration . I started playing vio- lin because of my sis- ters' influence, he said. Both of Fujiwara's sis- ters were first chair vio- linists for the orchestra. The orchestra was in- volved in more than the playing of quality music in quality style. Musicians often pooled their resources to help the poor. Ochestra members made personal dona- tions for a bicycle in a attempt to raise the Christmas spirit of a little girl whose parents could not afford to buy her a bike. Every year, the or- chestra buys Thanks- giving dinner for a needy family and we had money left over for the girl's bicycle, Smith, orchestra pre- sident, said. Plank said belonging to orchestra made his senioryear worthwhile. Orchestra made everything as a high school student this year a little more coherent.

Is Jazz Band a way of life? It could be ' junior trombone player Mark Soucidi said, as he sat reclining in his chair. With his feet propped up on the table, he pic- tured jazz at its best. I see jazz as a man and a woman drinking a glass of wine, Soucidi said, as the combo plays softly in the back- ground. As if enveloped in the mystical sounds of the relaxing jazz, his hands started to play an imaginary instrument. Then... with the trumpets going fast, players start to jam, the soloist stands and plays his lick ' Soueidi continued. Jazz, in general, is more original than classical or rock, sophomore trumpet player Joel Haney said. When you are improvis- ing, you make it up as you go along. Jazz Band, which played American mu- sic, was comprised of 20studentsand director Gary Tangen. We play music like swing and rock, sophomore trombone player Dan Brockle- bank said. The group met every Monday night to prac- tice and rehearse. Re- hearsals consisted of practicing in sections and doing an occasional jam session. Each group of in- struments is a section. We work on the piece in our sections. Then we join and try to put it all together, Brockle- bank said. All in all, it (practice) is pretty laid back. Jazz Band performed at jazz festivals, assem- blies and other school functions. We usually do stu- pid stuff like football dinners, Brocklebank said. Although Jazz Band usually practiced every week, Haney ap- proached practicing his own way. When I feel like messing around, Haney said, I play some jazz. Actually, Jazz Band created a group of friends that spent their extracurricular time playing jazz to the beat of Tangen. It's a good way to have fun out of school. Of all my extracurricular activi- ties, this is the one I most enjoy, Soueidi said. U Treg Silkwood DOING WHAT HE DOES BEST.

It was fun playing such a bizarre part because we reacted differently to each other almost every time, Gates said. I usually enjoyed the spont- ane ity. The play mocked general apathy and shallowness as well as aristocracy. We just blew off hot air, Fujiwara said. We talked a lot without really saying any- thing.

Wrestler Marc Garcia, junior, took second while seniors Scott Chesarek and Brad Vandiviere both placed third in their respective weight classes. In swimming, the boys 400-yard relay took fourth, and senior Dane Sobek took fourth in the 100-yard Freestyle and second in the 100 -yard Backstroke race. Track had individual winners in sen- ior Tina Anderson's second place in shot put and senior Sam Smith's fifth place in the high jump. The girls softball team placed second and finished the year with a 17-3 record. Senior Erika Boggio was named Fe- male Athlete of the Year because of her success in both varsity basketball and volleyball — proving some Broncs were using their horsepower.

But for Special Olympians, the contest can last a lifetime. The challenge begins again each day. What they win by their courageous efforts is far greater than any games. They arc winninglifc itself, and in doing so, they give to others a most precious prize — faith in the unlimited possibilities of the human spirit.• —Eunice Kennedy Shrivcr, Chairman of the Board for Special Olympias, Inc., Washington D.C. ---—. Participation in sports is easier for some than others, but a special group of students overcame tremendous odds and participated in the Mon- tana Special Olympics. Dwayne Bizek, Laurcna Briggs, Brad Evans, Mike Hagcl, and Kurt Howard participated in the 1989 Sum- mer Games of the Montana Special Olympics held May 10 through 13 in Billings. Special Olympics is the worlds largest program of ath- letic competition for mentally handicapped individuals. A non-profit organization, it was founded in 1968 by Eunice Kennedy Shrivcr. The Special Olympics con- tributes to the physical, social, and psychological develop- ment of the participants. Through successful experi- ences in sports, the athletes gain confidence and build a positive self-image associated with success rather than fail- ure. Students compote in a range of sports including softball, socccer, basketball, the winter sports (downhill and cross country skiing, and ice skating), and the summer games (track and field, gym- nastics, bowling, horseman- ship, and swimming). Special Olympics accom- modates competitors at all ability levels by assigning them to competition divi- sions based on both age and actual performance, Hodi Ikcda, coordinator of the Billings athletes, said. Along with the Special Olympics, there are the Games for the Physically Limited. Jason Rimpc and Shawna Koch participated in these games, doing various events includ- ing a softball throw and bowl- ing. Through the efforts of many, the Special Olympics provides a way for handicap- ped athletes to overcome tre- mondous odds to be able to play sports. U Peggy Tipton JUMP OF SUCCESS.

(Photo by Barrow) s for the future Experience helps students prepare for careers The smell of aerosol and sweaty bodies does not sound appealing to most people, but the student trainers developed an immunity to the acrid smells of the training room. SophomoreKorinne Sullivan said she spent nearly all of her spare time with her chosen extracurricular activity. It is not uncommon for me to spend three to four hours a day working in the training room ' Sullivan said. Because of the time spent working, as well as studying the various ways to tape inju- ries, student trainers earned a varsity letter. Senior Jill Win- field said that the letter was well deserved. We spend just as much time in the training room as others do (who participate) in a sport ' Winfield said. The trainers also received an academic credit for hours spenton thejob.They followed a manual which was written by head trainer and health teacher Kari Guldborg. We have to attend 25 to 35 sporting events as well as spend 200 hours in the training room ' junior Katie Kratochvil said. Spending so much time in the training room gave the trainers first-hand knowledge of pre- venting and caring for the in- jured athletes. Because a few of the student trainers were contemplating a career in sports medicine, they thought their time was well spent. I'm planning to go to Arizona State University to be a sports psychologist ' Krato- chvil said, and the training I have received here will help me get accepted. Even though training room activities were serious, the in- terior held a warmth thatcould not be found elsewhere.

(Photo by Moss) f eartful matter Lady Broncs' harmonizing style revolves around their closeness Putting their minds and their hearts together, the girls var- sity basketball team had a suc- cessful season despite their losses at divisional. Last year our team was all skill; we were not together, senior Erika Boggiosaid. This year we put more heart into it; we were more like a family. Boggio thought the reason the team was closer was be- cause the team had most of the road trips at the beginning of the season, and they were forced to get to know each other faster. Improvement was the re- sult of the team’s closeness. Wc improved in little things that count a lot in the long run, junior Jodi Soren- son said. Free throws, com- peting in practiccs,and staying intense constantly all added up to help us. However, the season did have disappointing times. For instance, the loss to Billings West in their first confrontation defeated the Lady Broncs1 spirit. It not only hurt to lose to West because they arc our cross-town rivals, Sorenson said. It hurt because of the way wc played. Some players thought that a strong relationship between the team and coach Adrian Wegner was lacking. I didn't get a lot of help from Mr. Wegner, senior Ronda Fiscus said. Maybe because I did not ask for it, not even when I needed it. We did not have a player- coach relationship. We dis- agreed on a lot of things, added Fiscus. Some of my teammates thought that hurt my games, but I think it made me stronger. The heart of the matter was that the team not only learned on the court, they learned about life. The junior varsity team started their season on the wrong foot, but changed their pace to end the season strong. Wc defeated Glcndive in the last game of the season, sophomore Rebecca Stevens said. It felt great to end the season so strong. Head J. V. coach Dave Dr- aeger guided the team in a manner that all the girls liked. Not only did Mr. Dracger help us, sophomore Amy In- man said, everybody helped each other, too The team did have its down points during the season though. Wc lost to West and it hurt, Stevens said. Wcdidn't play to our potential and we didn't play together. Just like real men did not eat quiche, shy girls did not play basketball. I don't worry about get- ting hurt, sophomore Shan- non Rafftery said. I worry about playing a good game. Girls were not usually thought of as being as physi- cally aggressive as boys, but they played the game just as hard. We may not throw as many elbows as guys, Rafftery said, but we get into the game as much as they (the guys) do. Rafftery had a knee injury during the early part of the season, but she finished the season with a brace. I tried not to let my injured kneeaffect my game, Rafftery said. These girls not only cooked the quiche, they burned up the court.

Notonlydid thecoachcs help the young players with tech- niques, but the girls also coached each other. We gave each other a lot of positive support, Clevenger said. Sometimes you would tell someone they were doing something wrong and they would get mad, but most of the time everyone was good about it.

(Photo by Steve Moss) They wort a few, lost the big ones : • Finding themselves in a po- tentially winless season, the boys varsity football team made revisions in their lineup, yet ended the season with an 0- 8 record. However, the junior varsity team turned the tables by tallying 6 wins and no losses. During mid-season, senior Sam Fischer was replaced by senior Dane Sobek as starting quarterback. Fischer was then moved to running back. Our offense was bad and to improve our running game they (the coaches) moved Sam, and it didn't work, senior John Nickcy said. The lack of experienced lead- ership produced an unproduc- tive season as only six seniors went out for football. It isn't like we planned to lose, Nickey said. 'The few seniors that did go out were devoted, but we were just out- numbered. It's impossible to have a winning season with only six seniors. The low numbers on the var- sity team allowed several play- ers on the team J. V. to receive varsity playing time, aiding them in obtaining their unde- feated record for the season. J.V. beat the other teams be- cause many of our players got experience from playing in the varsity games, junior C. J. Barovich said. It gave us a good idea of what to expect and how to handle it better. In every game, the team thought they had played to the best of their ability. We played to our poten- tial ' Barovich said. We worked together and everyone got along. Without that, we wouldn't have won all of our games. There was a lot of good tal- ent on our team this year and the wins really kept our confi- dence up, freshman Nathan Dolan said. We were never physically or mentally outplayed.

Stuckman joined swimming as a sophomore but cut his hand two weeks into the sea- son and could not get it wet until it had healed. ''After that, I guess, the ambi- tion was gone, Struekman said.

The team worked together to pull off a 19-4 overall record and a first place finish at the city championships. Our best games were probably at the championsips. We played West in the finals and it took us three games to beat them, Brown said. Times weren't always nappy for the team.

Keep the same enthusiastic crowd and you have the first Montana All-Class State Wres- tling Tournament Feb. 10 and 11 at MetraPark. AAU tournaments are run like state, and with the excep- tion of weigh-ins, it was run well ' senior Scott Chesarek said. During weigh-ins, the scales were changed often, which really wasn't fair. While the state tourney was a success, it ended in both disappointment and excite- ment for the Bronc wrestlers. Disappointment came when team leaders senior BradVan- diviere and Chesarek, who were predicted to take state, finished in third place. I was seeded first in the state tourney, and 1 had won the Bozeman Invitational earlier in the year, which was re- garded as harder than the stale tournament ' Chesarek said. I kind of went into shock when I was beat out, he added. It felt like four years of wrestling was down the tubes. But I did come back to take third and ended up beat I ing the guy who knocked me out of the tournament. Spirits were lifted, however, when junior Marc Garcia took second in the 112-pound class. Marc felt good about his placement in the bracket sheet, head coach Gordon Schlabs said. He got good draws and wrestled well. Overall, the wrestlers thought that the year was pro- ductive. We shouldn't have had so many matches against home- town teams because we paid ; for it at State when we didn't know what to expect from other teams, sophomore Rick Cortez said.

We all supported each other and got along together ' ju nior C.J. Barovich said. The varsity team wrestled with theJ.V. team during prac- tice, which improved the team's skills and abilities while giving the varsity wrestlers an opportunity to wrestle some- one at their own weight. Before tournaments, the J.V. members were able to wrestle varsity players. If a J.V. player won, he would wrestle as a varsity member during the tournament. Coaches also inspired the wrestlers with new techniques and discipline. The coaches were helpful because they showed us the basics and moves. They also conditioned us and keptusout of trouble ' Barovich said. I liked that theJ.V. team was treated the same as the var- sity, sophomore Jeremy Pepin said. The coaches spent an equal amount of time with us as the varsity. Both Barovich and Pepin started wrestling in the eighth grade. Neither one of the wres- tlers was on a strict diet; how- ever, watching their weight was a necessity. Success of the wrestlers couldn't be attributed to just one player or one team.

Senior Ted Chesarek was a key player for the season. The 6 foot 6 senior moved to Bill- ings from Pryor and started as ccn ter on the varsity basketball team. Chesarek cited some major differences in playing for Class AA and Class C. The Broncs slow down and set up an offense ' Chesarek said. Pryor players have a fast break and hardly any defense. I liked the style and fast break in Class C, but I liked the com- petition at Senior. Although the season record was one of the worst in years, many of the games were close and well-played. We weren't doing too good, but then during divisional, we did better than anyone thought we'd do ' Chesarek said. Our best game was against Great Falls at the tour- nament. We only lost by one point. It's a game we should've won. Chesarek thought the team lost most of the games because they didn't play a game all the way through. We lost it in the last couple of minutes. The junior varsity fared a somewhat better season with five wins. The best game was the first of the season against Livingston with a 78-44 win. The J.

Sophomore Ti- tus Takes Gun was able to do what most weren't. Takes Gun started the sea- son as a guard on the sopho- more team and impressed the coaches enough that they moved him up to the junior varsity team after the first few games. In the middle of the season, he was moved up to the varsity team. We were impressed with his ability to play, so we thought we'd move him up ' head coach Pat O'Connor said. I tried to play hard and to be where the action was, Takes Gun said. The game of basketball was not something new to Takes Gun. I grew up with it, Takes Gun said. When I was younger, my brothers would take me out to play, Making the adjustment to play with the varsity team wasn't difficult for Takes Gun. I knew most of the guys before I moved up and 1 really liked the competition at the varsity level, Takes Gun said. Without key players, the Bronc freshman and sopho- more basketball teams found out how to be good losers. When some guys moved up, it was tough on us, fresh- man Matt Macarah said. It was tough to lose all of the time but we learned to be good sjx rts about it, fresh- man Kit Stewart said. The freshman team pulled out of the losing slump and beat Billings Skyview for the city championship. We were able to group to- gether and win the tour- nament, freshman Chad Ly- thgoe said. Those were probably our best games. Tough times existed for the basketball teams, but under the leadership of a few key teammates, they pulled them- selves together to succeed in the end.

To- gether they finished second in the Billings Invitational, the largest tournament in the state. They also finished second at Divisional, losing only to the eventual State Champions. We were playing well and our shots seemed to be strong ' Foote said. We knew we could compete with the top teams. The most satisfying part of the season was defeating Skyvicw after barely losing to them in a dual. After losing to Skyvicw, the boys came back and crushed them right before Divisional, coach Dave Klarich said. The improvement was the most satisfying part of the season.

We were confident we would do well this season ' junior Karen Drill said. We had a young but very talented team. The Broncs dropped only twolosses, both to West High. With a second place seeding going into the state tour- nament, the Broncs easily de- feated Browning and Bozeman on Thursday. During Friday's matchups, Senior defeated West High.

The Broncs were defeated the first game, but had a chance to come back and win the second game.

The coaches inspired the girls with strong encourage- ment and by sharing their knowledge. The coaches knew what needed to get done and got it done in a helpful way, junior Sasha Sobek said. The team thought that lead- ership and communication were a necessity to ensure their success. One improvement that the softball program needed was leadership; however, it did improve toward the end of the season ' sophomore Kristi Oakley said. We needed more commu- nication and a leader to stick out to help the younger play- ers ' Jelinek said. Besides working hard and getting satisfaction from doing so, teammates also liked trav- eling together.

Practices were held at High- lands Golf Course on Mon- days and Tuesdays while members chose a course of their liking on Wednesdays. Thursdays were days off with Fridays and Saturdays left for tournaments. We had more experience going into meets from playing on the different courses, so- phomore Angie Wagner said. Parents were unable to at- tend golf meets. The officials thought our parents would give us advice and slow down the game, Hickey said. Since golf isn't a very popular sport, I thought at least our parents should be able to come and watch us. Despite the adverse weather and the poor scores at State, the golf team was able to keep spirits high. Even though I didn't do well at State, 1 still want to keep playing, Anderson said.

Few ever have that dream come true. For one, that dream was close to bccomming a reality. Junior Lonnie Saunders had his dream come true, almost. Saunders was a world class athlete, and had competed in World Air Gun Champion- ships in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. I would practice three or four times a day for 40 minutes at a time to get ready for the competition ' Saunders said. Saunders hoped to further his abilities and maybe even make it to the Olympics. If the Olympics come my way, that's the way I'll go, Saunders said. Junior Bridgit Bell had skied on the Silver Run Ski Team for five years. She had competed in races in California, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, and Montana and at the National Junior Olym- pics. I like the competition and you learn a lot from the mental preparation, Bell said. You can't blame any mistakes on anyone but yourself. Senior Steve Moss was a member of the Deaconess Medical Ccnter Spokc Shop bike racing team. The team competed in many local races.

Staying late on layout night didn't change with the new comput- ers, but once the staf- fers understood the system,the night was more productive. Layout night is a lot easier ' Hanson said.

I feel Bronc Booster is a worthwhile organi- zation for parents to de- monstrate their support to the kids and their ac- tivities ' Booster Arlie Drill said. Parents should be involved in supporting Senior High activities, both academic and extracurricular, pre- sident Dwayne Jelinek said. Boosters kept busy completing over 40 projects which included activities from kickoff picnics to purchasing materials and provid- ing labor and equip- ment for building the new shotput pit. Bronc Booster's largest event was the Fall Kickoff Pinic the first week of school ' se- cretary Judy Swanser said. However, many times we are not obvi- ous in our participation but did provide the funds for the activity. About 150 parents were faithfully in- volved in the Booster Club, but many more were still needed. We'd love to have every parent of a Bronc be a Booster ' Swanser said. We are continuing to increase the number of support activities we carry out and expanding the range of our activities, Jelinek said. We feel we havea solid foundation and want to build on it. Bronc Booster Club members worked hard all year, and they thought that students noticed them and ap- preciated their work. I guess you'd have to ask the students if they know who we arc, but we feel we arc a positive force for Bronc parents, and the Broncs themselves, Swanser said. We just hope the Boosters have boosted the kids' spirits, Drill said. Being a Bronc Boos- ter is a very rewarding experience, jelinek said. It keeps parents in direct contact with the school. It also makes them aware of the many fine students at Senior and of the diversity of talent and range of activities pres- ent there. U Jennifer Hill 136 Academics FIT TO SIZE.

Watching the girls choose a guy for their partner and not being chosen, i had to dance with Sam Smith once. Scott Liva Watching Mr. Nesbit get into it more than anyone else. Sally Deans Certain classes of- fered a break from the ''same old every day blah by giving seniors a slight change of pace. Charles Nesbit taught his enriched sen- ior English classes a variety of dances to get their noses out of the textbooks for a little while. Dancing adds something fun to the class, Li nda Strohecker said. Itgivesstudentsa break from the hum- drum of reading and writing material. No certain date was set for. the dancing. The students were told a day in advance and went to the auditorium to dance. We do partner dancing like the Char- leston and the box 1 rot, Strohecker said. Mock Congress al- lowed government classes to write, debate, and pass bills, giving students a break from the same class routine. I feel we learned more participating in Mock Congress, Marcy Tate said, than if we had gone all the way through the text book. The government classes participated in Congress sessions everyday for about two weeks. Each student played a certain role in acting out a Congress session. There were several small committees and a head chairperson. The committees met to dis- cuss tneir diiis before they went to Congress. My favorite part of the whole thing, Tate said, was when the whole class met and we listened to the other students' ideas and views. The committees presented individual's bills and supported their passage through Congress. A few bills students tried to get passed dealt with euthanasia, pun- ishing child abusers, and banning pomogra- phy. Whether debating a bill or moving to music, students appreciated the break from the mo- notony of their school days.

After an hour of mad- ness, sweating in front of a computer or fling- ing a pica pole around, staffers fled Room 206 hoping to forget about their deadlines for the rest of the day. Once a month the dreaded D-day (deadline) arrived. Making deadlines is not hard, senior Jen- nifer Solie, Mini Mag Editor said, but after you get the page back for corrections about five times, it ends up being a month late. Yearbook class taught more than just the re- sponsibility of making deadlines. At the begin- ning of the yea r, sta ffers sold ads. Students went to lo- cal businesses to sell ads. The businesses were not very responsive, junior Joy Bryngelson said. They usually said to come back later or said they already spent their money. I finally sold three ads after making six appoint- ments. After ads were sold, time was spent com- pleting pages. The Pub (publications room) was open until 9 p.m., so staffers could use the computers after school. After school I'd sit staring at the stupid computer for about four hours to get it (a page) done, junior- Debbic Quiroz said. I knew I had to do it. Stress was caused mostly by time limits. We were given a lot of independence in class, junior Don Schaak said. I learned to be responsible with class time. Although yearbook class caused stress, the completed book brought a satisfaction to staffers of a job well done. I think this year’s book will be the best the yearbook class has ever turned ou t, sen ior Kim Garrison, Co-exccutivc Editor said.

Academics Q: What is the biggest contribu- tion you made to Student Council? AI I spent long hours organizing and getting B-Day planned, and I worked on learning how to do ten million things at once and not go crazy. Dave Quiroz I helped clean out the trophy cases and up- dated their arrangement. Amy Armstrong New activities and projects kept Student Council members ac- tive, not only with school but also with state and national ac- tivities. Changes to the con- stitution made StuCo more professional. The updated requirements encouraged students to take StuCo more seri- ously. Making the atten- dance stricter made people not skip the meetings ' senior Sara Lee, StuCo secretary, said. New B-Day tradi- tions began when of- ficers and representa- tives instigated the first parade in two decades and organized the pep assembly that was held in Daylis Stadium. Af- ter the parade, students waited for the Bronc Bomber to drop his load. Many of the Student Council members par- ticipated in the State Student Council Con- vention Oct. 24 through 26 at Eastern Montana College. Students state- wide met in groups and exchanged ideas about ways to improve their schools' spirit. Besides going to the convention, we (Stu- dent Council) did a lot of the planning for the weekend ' sophomore Shannon Rahn, class president, said. We got people lined up to house 700 visiting delegates and also stuffed 800 folders for the convention. StuCo also organized the first senior citizens prom May 12, at the Northern Hotel. Since Senior High's prom was the night after, the same decorations and theme were used for the Senior Citizens' Prom. The idea of a senior citizen prom was brought back from a National Student Coun- cil Convention in Albur- querque, N. Mex. Sen- ior Kim Garrison, StuCo vice-president, junior representative Brian Mehus, senior Angie Madel, State StuCo Pre- sident, and Junior Class President Jeremy Robinson went to the convention last summer and returned with good ideas to improve StuCo. Students involved in StuCo said that the extra effort paid off. I gained a strong sense of leadership and have become more in- formed about what is going on at school, Freshman Class secre- tary, Amy Armstrong, said.UJ Lynell Dunn StuCo 143 COLLEGE-BOUND.

A Deciding on where to attend frustrated me the most. Jeff Tillotson I didn't know whether to wait a year or to go right after high school. Deanna Rukstad Preparing for college and getting into the col- lege of their choice kept students awake nights. Taking the American College Test (ACT) or the Scholastical Apti- tude Test (SAT) was the most stressful and talked about worry for high school seniors. I thought they (ACT SAT tests) would be harder than they were ' senior Richard Owens said. You always hear of how hard the tests will be, but they weren't that hard ' senior Sandy Percy said. Most students spent time studying for the tests, but the night be- fore was reserved for going out ' The stu- dents felt they needed the time to relieve stress. Yes, of course I went out the night before ' senior Brain Cebull said. It took my mind off the test. I went out ' senior Morry Matson said. I wanted to relieve my tension, so I didn't worry about it. 'T watched movies with somes friends, but I got to bed early Owens said. Visiting college cam- puses was also difficult to fit into a hectic time schedule. I went to a music camp on Michigan's campus, Matson said, and got a chance to look at the campus then. Some students ap- plied to colleges without visiting its campuses. I applied at three or four colleges, but I didn't visit the cam- puses 1 Owens said. Attending college fairs and talking to college representatives and counselors also helped students make important decisions concerning their future plans. I attended the Rocky College Fair to see what different colleges offered, senior James Clevenger sa id, and get information on their re- quirements. Seniors relaxed and were relieved when everything was done and they were on their way to school. I was just glad to have survived, Mat- son said.

Some students tried to create their own perfect body by joining the condi- tioning class. I took conditioning because I wanted to get into shape ' senior Lisa Birkeland said.

It makes me stron- ger for basketball and softball ' junior Mandy Livengood said. It keeps me in shape and I'm not laying around like in a study hall, junior Kyle Ahlgrcn said. Some even competed in body building itself. Conditioning help- ed enhance my body, fora body building com- petition in December ' senior Jeff Aurcsaid. Although the class made the body stronger, injuries did occur. Aure dropped 240 pounds on his jaw and knocked out four teeth while max- ing out. He blacked out because of lack of air. It was hard to go back. I don't do as much as I used to, Aure said. I used to work out three times a week; now I just bike outside of class. While running the bleachers, Birkeland slipped and broke her leg. She was lifting with her cast on four weeks later. I wanted to get my leg strong again before the cast came off, Birkeland said. Once the cast came off Birkeland worked out on her own. I'd recommend the class to anyone who wants to stay physically fit, Livengood said. But they have to want to.

JL4Z Academics Getting out of class early in the day did not mean- fun for all students. For some, it meant going to work. The Out. to Work program was started to give students who had to support themselves time to get extra hours in at work. Seniors Kari Koch and Linda Schonsberg were both self- supporting and were employed at the down- town Perkins. Both were also involved in the Out to Work pro- gram. I live on my own and totally support myself ' Koch said. I leave school after fourth period, so I can get in forty hours of work time each week. I need the time out of school to get more hours in at work, Schonsberg said. Som- etimes I didn't have the time for homework, so my grades suffered. Permission to participate in the pro- gram had to be obtained through dean Duane Ahlgren and the student's counselor. I think it was harder for Kari (Koch) to talk to Mr. Ahlgren than it was for me, Schonsberg said. She had to go first and she needed more timeoutof school. I had to talk to Mr. Ahlgren and then get my boss to sign a slip saying that I actually was going to work ' Koch said. For the students in the Out to Work pro- gram, a shortened school day did not mean less work. U Becky Hendricks TOLERATING HARD WORK. Kari Koch checks with some customers she has served at the down- town Perkins where she became a waitress in or- der to get 40 hours of work, allowing her to earn enough money to live on her own.

A lot of them had relatives who were ar- tists, so that made a big difference. The history book was not only time con- suming for English classes and teachcrs,but the journalism students that put the book to- gether found it hard to fit all the extra work into their schedules. I spent an endless amount of time on the history book ' junior WhitneyGrubbssnid. I couldn't even count the hours I’ve put into it. Researching the mu- rals' artists and other students whograduated from Senior High throughout the past 50 years seemed like a huge task, but the hard work paid off. The book has had a really good response ' senior Kathleen Olson said. The hard work was worth it! 'There’s so much to Senior High that a student in the'80s would never know, senior Kara Sumner, editor, said. Senior had some really neat and hilarious history to it.

Instead of total awe, some some students complained about the improvements they discovered when they returned to school last fall. The Building and Grounds Department spent $15,000 on new lighting in and outside of the cafeteria and on other needed improve- ments. They replaced the orange beams with shiny silver ones and placed track lights on the murals in the newly remodeled cafeteria. The cafeteria looks a lot better, but it looks funny with the red light fixtures, junior Mnndy Livcngood said. Now it kind of looks like a spaceship. The new, lowered ceilings were built around the murals to make them more notice- able. Oak was then in- laid around the murals which would have been covered when the ceiling were lowered.

He was used to coming in first and having it all. Varsity swimming awards, varsity football play, and academic excellence were what he had come to expect from himself. His favorite and best events included the 100-mcter and 200-mctcr backstroke and butterfly. During the summer, he competed in the Western Zone Champi- onship Meet in Los Angeles, Calif. Along with his favorites, Sobek swam in the 50-meter freestyleand the 200-meter individual medley. The 18-year-old said he usually docs not feel nervous a t meets, but in Los Angeles he did. There are usually about 100 people wa tching me, not 1,000, he said, referring to the Los Angeles audience. Sobek came in 10th in the !00-meter backstroke and 12th in the 200-meter out of 40 competitors. When I concentrate more on my technique, not my speed, my times im- prove, Sobek explained. Sobek was on the football team anil played trombone in jazz and symphonic band as well. He said, however, that he found swimming the most rewarding of all his activities. Hebudgeted his timeamongall these activitiesand hisschool work. Sobek said that being involved in so much actually helped him concentrate on homework. He also said that he studied nearly every weekday evening. The approach worked because Sobek finished his school career with an impressive GPA of 4.0.

The dance group started as a fad in Chicago, 111. before it moved to Billings. Dance gangs have dance battles against each other on the streets and learn from one another ' senior Stephanie Baez, organizer and dancer of Ultimate Touch 'said. I learned to dance on the streets and began training with my brothers and sisters. After moving from Chicago three years ago, Baez, senior Asifa Kadlec, and Mona Lcsman, Kadlec's mother, started the group in Billings. Other group members included sen- iors Sara Berg and Sirpa Lahti and sopho- more Heather Marvin. The qualifications for becoming a member of Ultimate Touch depended on the dancer's ability. They (teens) just have to want to dance, Baez said. Ultimate Touch started with prac- tice sessions and lessons from Baez and Kadlec. Although the lessons started out free, the instructors now charge $15 a month. You always have doers and sayers, Baez said. The doers do and the sayers say they'd love to dance, but when it comes right down to it, they don't. Being able to do whatever type of dancing they want was one of the reasonsstudentsliked Ultimate Touch. It helps me release tension and some frustrations, Kadlec said. I dance what I want, and I go there and have fun. LJ Jennifer Hill 181 MOTHERLY ADVICE. Holly Miller and her mother Donna meet at the back door.

Matson represented Montana at In- terlochen, an international music camp, last summer in Interlochen, Mich. Students from ages eight to 20 came from around the world to perform at the internationally known camp, It's the largest music camp in the world, Matson said. Matson was one of seven students from Montana who attended the eight-week camp on a scholarship. He auditioned and received a partial scholarship for his tuition. Any high school student can tryout for it (the scholarship) ' the 18-year-old oboe player said. I sent in an application and a tape of myself playing. When I did win it, I got to meet the governor in person. Matson participated in symphonic and concert band, and a woodwind trio while at camp Interlochen. 'The camp followed a hectic schedule, Matson said. We went to classes daily and had a two-hour band rehearsal every day. Matson attended classes on subjects ranging from learning different musical styles to playingother string and wind in- struments. I learned to play all the orchestra in- struments including the harp, Matson said. The majority of the 2,200 students at the camp were serious about their music, and took several hours daily to practice. They knew what they were doing, Matson said about his summer class- mates.

The reality of becoming a pilot began for Moody with the help of her friend and instructor. Drew Daniel, who took her on her first flight. I always thought I wanted to fly ' Moody said, so my friend took me up in his plane. I loved it! Moody remembered her anxiety when she first took the controls. After she was flying, she realized how safe planes were. I was a little nervous at first ' Moody said, but after we got off the ground, I felt safe because my instructor was there tell- ing me what to do. Moody recalled a frightening incident when she almost crashed into another in- stuctorand student during a lesson. We (Moody and her instructor) almost crashed with another plane ' Moody said. They flew only 50 feet above us and I didn'teven know until I landed. It wasn't my fault, though. Moody said her friends and family were eager to have her get her pilot's license. My friendscouldn't wait until I got my license so I could take them places, Moody said, and my parents liked know- ing that I wanted to be a pilot. Moody finally received her license in December. Her reward came from hard work and hours of study. She hoped to attend the University of North Dakota to further her aircraft edu- cation and eventually become a com- mercial airline pilot.

Before these requirements v ere revised, Montana universities were required to accept any high school graduate who applied. With the new rules, if students who applied for an in-state college did not meet one of these requirements, the college had the choice to reject the application of the graduate. Most students did not feel threatened by the new in- state requirements. In fact, some favored the changes. It will make people more serious about school and help them get a better education, Tiffany Brock said. With these new changes, people are getting more prepared for college, Jeremy Brunkhorst said. Students planned to pay for college with money saved from summer jobs, and many anticipated help from home. My parents have been saving up money for my college tuition, and I'll probably get a loan ' Brock said.

The talented pitcher, Karen Drill, was busy with numerous activities, but softball was her favorite. I started playing (softball) in first grade. I played first base and short.stop for Lock- wood Summer League she said. Drill's history in the game was long, but she had pitched for only five years. 1 started pitching in fourth grade, but I didn't play in seventh and eighth grade be- cause I broke my ankle sliding into third base, she said, I've been pitching since. Pitching took time. Practice in the off-season was long. We started pitching in late November two times a week, she said. During the season, we pitched half an hour a night or more. Drill's dedication to improving her skills paid off. She played varsity and earned a letter as a freshman and then repeated the achieve- ments her sophomore year. She also earned a place on second team All-State. At the end of the season. Drill was elected to one of three team captain positions. She thought that she would be able to relate with the younger girls on the team. Because 1 was one of the younger girls on the team last year, I felt a little inferior. As I got to know the other mem- bers of the team, I became more relaxed 'Drill said. Now that I’m an upperclass- man, I’ve learned how to treat the younger girls on the team because of my experience. Drill also competed in the American Softball Associa- tion's summer league. It (the ASA team) was basi- cally the new team for the up- coming season, she said. Drill thought the summer play was beneficial. I hope we (the Lady Broncs) take State, but right now, no one is really sure what the out- come of the season will be, she said. But we will work hard and bond together to pro- duce the best possible team. The veteran pitcher credited her success to her belief in teamwork. A team does not revolve around one member, she said. It must work together to overcome difficulties in order to come out on top. V Kim Garrison LET ’ER RIP. The softball team and its pitcher Karen Drill prac- ticed in the gym when the weather did not permit outdoor practices. To insure no-hit games. Drill learned the drop, fast, change-up, and curve pitches from her three-year coach, Kirk Thomas.

He read about these bionic personalities and others in some 900 comic books he had collected during the past four and a half years. I used to read comics when I was younger, Contrcrcz said. A friend got me started collecting and I heard money could be made. Contrcrcz could contest that comics had been around for well over 50 years. My oldest book is Action Comics 259 from 1954 and my newest is a month old ' Con- trerez said. I collect 25 monthly series and 10 limited scries every month. Contrcrcz collected the Avengers, Thor and three dif- ferent Spidcrman series. Comics varied greatly in value. The age of a comic de- termined how much it was worth. Some are popular because of supply and demand ' Con- trerez said. Not enough of some popularcomicsarc made so they arc more valuable. My most expensive comic is'Nick Fury vs. S.RI.E.L.D' IfT It's six months old and it's worth $25. It's high priced because it was very popular and it was under-printed ' Contrcrcz concluded. Con trerez spend t about $30 per month on his collection. His total collection had been valued at $1 500. Contrcrcz said that storing a collection may be the most important part of keeping it in good condition and maintain- ing its value price. Ordinary bags would not do. 1 keep some of my comics in boxes and some in bags, bu t the bags must not have the 'plasticizers' which damage the covers and take away the color, Contrcrcz said. Although some of his teach- ers and even some of his peers may not agree, Contrc- rcz thought comics were edu- cational. Comics increase your imagination and your vocabu- lary, Contrcrcz said. How many people know what a doppelganger or a caducous is? Many people thought com- ics were just for kids, but Contrcrcz did not agree. They include heavy psy- chological and hard hitting is- sues, he said. Superman and the X-mcn were only a small part of Contrcrez's crowd. Many of his friends also enjoyed col- lecting.

A faculty committee selected the two and Heather James to receive scholar- ships. (Photo by Geoff Barrow) —Passports to see new worlds and cultures Despite the many opportuni- ties given to juniors to apply for scholarships, few do. But four girls were different and their pursuits earned them trips into other time zones. Nicole Finke applied for and received a nomination from the United States Senate to Japan Scholarship. ''One person from each school in the state receives the nomination which places her in the semi-finals ' Finke said. The semi-finalists must write an essay of their accomplish- mentsand about themselves in general. They also have to complete an interview and answer essay questions. The material was then sent to Washington, D.C., where it was judged and sent to the fi- nals. The 12 finalists were notified in January of the fol- lowing year. The Montana fi- nalists then traveled to Helena for another interview and after three weeks, were noti- fied about the scholarships. One person received a full scholarship, one person re- ceived a half scholarship of $1,000, and four received par- tial scholarships of $500. Joy Bryngelson, Heather James, and Julie Hoffman will spend their summers in for- eign countries next year. The number of students chosen for AFS depends on the amount of funding available and how much the students are able to pay” James said. This year that amount al- lowed for three of us to go. For James, applying for AFS was not something she had planned to do. I had heard about AFS, but I never really looked into it until I got a letter in the mail about an AFS meeting, sol decided to go, James said. The girls were excited about their scholarships because they wanted to learn about other countries, their ways, and their people. I really want to make dose friends in another country, Hoffman said. Hoffman also thought that the freedom she would experi- ence would help me handle awkward situations without anyone like my mom to help me. I just need to learn to do things on my own.

The confusion and self- doubt of being the new kids in school were over as tenth graders began to drive and establish close fri- endships. A certain passage into adulthood took place in the form of a driver's license. This year everyone starts to drive, we turn sweet 16, and it's a year with a little more foolishness ' Sunni Bradberry said. With the documentation to borrow the family car, many sophomores experienced their first date. I'll never forget my first date ' Shawna Badge� said. I ate a large supper that night because I was so nervous, and then we went to the movies and had a pop—I burped a lot. Relationships with friends and family became more important as maturity made sophomores realize that this closeness would not last forever. My closest friend for six years is going to graduate and go away to school, Judy McGrody said. I don't know how I'm going to handle it. I began to talk to my brothers like they were my friends, and it was incredibly easy, Eldena Bear Don't Walk said. Homework piled up as teachers prepared sopho- mores for their junior year. I got the first F ever on a report card since fifth grade, Alan Sparboe said. But I guess I will justhave to forget about it and try harder. Overall, sophomores were glad to be older and wiser. The good times of high school were underway. HJ Scott Liva TA-DAH! Jenny Kediroskie performs the Texas Star during a halftime performance at the Girls Basketball Divsionals at the Metra.

Ya gotta bo kidding! Students too young to get a job or who wanted something different to do during the summer found becoming a Candy Striper a re- warding alternative. Candy Stripers volunteered to help at hospitals. Darby Siems worked on the second floor of Deaconess Medical Center in the recovery rooms where patients stay after un- dergoing surgery. I gave the patients fresh water, gave them their nour- ishment, and took the book cart around, Siems said. Collette Clevenger helped at St. Vincent Hospital as a nurse's aide. Her job differed from Siems'. I answered calls, recorded their (patients') water intake. and took meal trays, Clevenger said. Two other volunteers at St. Vincent enjoyed different du- ties. Michelle Volcsky and Kendra Edwards served food in a restaurant new to the hos- pital called The Chcri Nook. They tried working with pa- tients, but both agreed that some sick people arc rude be- cause they do not want to be bothered. (In the restaurant) we took orders, made sandwiches, and waited on customers, Vo- lcsky said. It was fun. Clevenger remembers her worst experience as a crisis with an 85-ycar-old woman who had cancer, She slid down in her bed and couldn't breath, Clevenger said. 1 stayed with her for four hours because she was so scared. Since Clevenger hopes to be a nurse, she said that the inci- dent was a good learning expe- rience. Sometimes when she entered a room, Siems did not know whether the patient could hear her or talk very well. It was hard not knowing if 1 should yell or speak in a nor- mal voice, Siems said. All of the girls thought work- ing at the hospitals was worth their time. I recommend it (volunteer- ing in a career area) if you're interested, Edwards said. It was good experience and looks good on a job applica- tion, Volcsky said. I think it was worth my time.

However, nei- ther Lora O'Connor nor Julia Larsen arc surprised to see their parents in the halls at school, Lora's father, Pat O'Connor, teaches American history, and Julia's mother, Joan Larsen, teaches Spanish. Neither girl feels any pressure to act differently just because she has a parent working just down the hall. I think that my dad would yell at me in front of my friends if [ got in trouble, so I try to stay out of trouble at school ' Lora said. I make sure getting into trouble stays at home. Julia finds it difficult to get away with things at school that other kids can do because no one in the family will discover their actions or tricks. If my friends and I like a type of clothing but we do not think our parents would go for it, my friends just sneak clothes to school and pu t them on there, Julia said. I cannot get away with that. Lora and Julia find it con- venient to have their source of lunch money available on com- mand right at school. If I run out of money for lunch, Lora said, I can go get some from my dad. Lora and Julia have a hard time coping with friends who have their parents as teachers. Sometimes my friends blame me when my mom gives thema test, Julia said. It is not my fault she gives tests! Lora and Julia understand that their parents have territo- rial rights over them at school. I am not embarrassed to have my dad teaching at Senior, Lora said. I have no right to be. Besides, he was here first.

Brocklebank oung driver Avoiding fast food row was impractical, but driving to lunch on Grand Avenue could be hazerdous to one's health. A Senior High student learned that early in the year. Dan Brocklebank, while driving along Grand Avenue, attempted to make a lane change to the right lane. After realizing a car was in his 'blind spot he swerved back into the left lane and rear-ended the car in front of him. Brocklebank said he 'freaked out' when the accident occured. Brian Mehus and I were laughing at first, but it wasn't very funny ' the 15-year-old upset driver said. Brocklebank was issued a careless driving ticket and had his license, which he had had less than a year, suspened for three months. My mom was really calm, but my dad was very upset! Brocklebank said. The cost of repairing his car was minimal compared to some student accidents. I had to pay the $150 deductible insurance on the car ' Brocklebank said. T also had to pay the ticket, but the in- surance took care of the rest Having an accident can af- fect future driving as Brockle- bank discovered. Occasionally he relives the accident. T get scared whenever I pull up be hind another car. Ibrakea lot sooner now ' Brocklebank said. The sophomore said he had lost some trust ' with his par- ents, but they still trust him a bit ' even though he was grounded for three months. 'They (my parents) joke about it a lot, but nothing else is really different ' Brockle- bank said. The best thing is freedom, but the worst is de- finitely accidents!

(Pholo by Sieve Moss) art of the crowd art of the action Tiny bodies roamed through the halls. Amazed eyes stared into the faces of older beings. Students stepped into their enrollment period the first day of school. All eyes were on latecomers ns a room full of new faces stared with apathetic grins. Fitting into a new environment remained one of the most difficult accomplishments for freshmen to tackle. Scared faces stared into the eyes of upper classmen as a wide, wonderful world that never before existed opened up to these individuals. Freshmen soon discovered the best way to develop a sense of belonging involved hanging around with the upper classmen. The advice I would give a freshmen coming to Senior next year, Tyler Dahlberg said, would be meet the older kids. I fit in better now that I know some of the juniors and seniors. Get involved in school activities, advised several freshmen. A poll taken at the start of the school year suggested that 80 percent of the 200 freshmen polled needed to get involved in the clubs and activities in order to fit in. Fitting in was not a problem for Alissa Rose. Sym- phonic Band, Accents, Concert Choir, and drama kept Rose active in school. Junior Kristen, an older sister, helped her mold her way into these groups. Kristen influenced me a little I guess, Rose said. She was in choir and she got good grades too. We are both in Accents. Rose and Dahlberg expressed the opinions of a large majority of the Freshmen Class. Getting involved and fitting in was no problem.

Combining his common in- terests of bicycle riding and skateboarding, Schaff participates in a sport called Freestyling. He started freestyling in the summer between his seventh and eighth grade years. I am always practicing he said. During the summer I usually spend the whole day working on my jumps. Schaff does no t worry abou t the immediate dangers of the Sport, and he says that he won't until he gets seriously hurt. It can get pretty danger- ous, he said. I have only gotten a few scrapes, nothing serious, but — being 10 feet in the air — something can al- ways go wrong. Schaff occasionally has what he calls a mental block It occurs when he cannot con- centrate on his bike riding. My mental block has stop- ped me from riding bikes for months at a time sometimes, he said. I know that I can doit (tricks), but when I get in the air, I get scared and back off. After his mental block clears, Schaff returns to riding daily. If I have enough patience to get over my mental blocks, he said, I go back to practicing because patience and practice are two things you have to have a lot of.

Erica Havig pursues her dream of dancing in a professional bal- let company. To get on track to her dream, Havig gives up her spare time, after-school hours, and Satur- day mornings for ballet classes and a jazz class. If you put in the time and effort, you get better, she ex- plained. Regular dance classes end in the summer, but Havig's vaca- tion consisted of dance work- shops in Walla Walla and Seattle, Wash., at the Pacific Northwest Ballet Summer Pro- gram. The workshops gave Havig the opportunity to study with new teachers and to learn new techniques. A summer spent away from family and friends sound dif- ficult, but Havig disagrees. It wasn't hard atall; I made tons of new friends there. Havig's parents support her decision to become a profes- sional dancer. They support mo in every way, she said. They would love to see me in a company. Not everyone shares her par- ents' enthusiam. A few adults have voiced their skepticism.

Conflicts between schools in the same city are unavoidable. Put them to- gether and what do you get? Senior-West sibling rivalry. Freshman Todd MacKay lives through each day with this kind of adversity. MacKay's two older broth- ers and one older sister at- tended arch-rival Billings West High, and MacKay is the first in his family to attend Senior High. All my friends were going to Senior High, MacKay said, and I wanted to play for the Royals. Brothersjeff and Keith, who were student body president and editor of the newspaper at the other school, even proved helpful. Family members changed their allegiance and helped MacKay to become pre- sident of the Freshman Class at his new school. Because I had marching band one morning, my father came in and put up my cam- paign posters, MacKay said. School politics were nothing new to MacKay who repre- sented Lewisand Clark Junior Highasstudentbody president during his eighth grade year. Even last year, MacKay said,”l was beginning to align with the Broncs. We (my fami- lyand I) sat on opposite sides of the stadium at games, and I bought food from Senior. MacKay plans to slay in poli- tics during high school, al- though he docs not intend to make politics his career. U Denver Howell 216 Freshmen o INTO LEADERSHIP. Todd MacKay wasted no time in enter- ing the world of politics. MacKay helped raise money for the Mon- tana Association of Student Councils by selling sweatshirts at the state convention in Octo- ber at Easterm Montana College.

(Photo by Geoff Barrow) n the job School work pays off Rattling pans, washing dirty dishes, and getting dish pan hands became just another class period for Chad Staley, who worked as a cafeteria as- sistant during both lunches. Staley earned approxi- mately $30 every two weeks and received his lunches free for working an hour and a half daily in the school cafeteria. I never realized how much effort the cooks put into preparing lunches for the students until working in the cafeteria became my responsi- bility, Staley said. Staley's duties varied from washing dishes and picking upafter students to running errands for the cooks. At first Staley's friends laughed when they saw him working in the cafeteria, but he soon adjusted to thesituationand laughed with his peers. I have only a couple minutes to eat my lunch, and I can't be with my friends as often as I would like, Staley said. Staley thinks that having to handle a job on top of school work and extracurricular acivi- tics made him grow emotionally. Tve learned to be a little less tempermental and feel I am a more responsible person, he said. HJ Wendy Rice 218 Freshmen u ‘faculty 1 1 ft 1 BAREFOOT OBSERVER.

Of course, the students think the Cadillac in the parking lot belongs to the heavily paid administration. Mr. T arrived at school at 7 a.m. because he lived in Two Dot. He opened the full trunk and took out the piles of essays and tests he assigned yesterday. Mr. T grumbled as his red eyes saw all the bright, red F's he put on the papers. He stopped at his room to throw the homework on an already overflowing deskand noticed that the garbage had not been emptied or the dried Pepsi cleaned off the floor. Mr. T began his 10K bolt down to the teachers lounge and decided to try a shortcut. To save time, he slid down the handrail like he saw a freshman do last week. Unfortunately, his waistline was a little larger than a freshman's, and he rolled down the stairs. When Mr. T finally reached the coffee pot, he took the lid off and dunked his head into the brown swirl. Other teachers in the lounge jumped up and pulled out Mr. T before he had the chance to drink the pot dry. They huddled together in fear as they watched the minute hand of the clock creep toward 8 a.m. Slowly, one by one, the teachers dragged themselves out of the lounge and into the battle zone with words of comfort that Friday was not that far away. Thank goodness the Senior High faculty did not fit this stereotype. U Scott Liva U Division 219 TRAVELING F©(S?© n)®fg g@°mg filti© ©xttmi mSU© Going the extra miles for his students, Myron Vogele, math teacher, drives more than 80 miles a day. Vogele, who lives southeast of Fromberg, has been making the trip to Senior High daily for 11 years. Vogele estimates that he spends about an hour and a half on the highway each day. It takes about 45 minutes (each way) ' Vogele said, if the roads aren't too bad. Weather usually is not a factor, but once Vogele had to leave in the middle of the night to be able to get to school on time the next moming. ' When I heard the wind start to pick up, Vogele said, I packed some clothes and drove to my mother-in-law's house in Billings. Not all teachers live as far away from Senior High as Vogele, but most of them drive. Gerald Kessler, his- tory teacher, is one of the few who walks to school. It takes Kessler five to 10 minutes to get to school if the stadium is open. He uses the stadium as a short cut when it's unlocked, but cutting across the stadium hascaused a few problems. Once I had an important meeting with the principal, Kessler said, and found out that theother gate waslocked, so I had to turn and walk around. I was late and got a dirty look from Mr. Rickard. Kessler enjoys the walk each day. I wish I lived a little far- ther ' Kessler said, so I'd get more exercise. The five minutes it took Kessler to get to school did not leave him much time for ex- citement. It's a pretty dull walk, Kesslersaid. There's nothing out of the ordinary (along the way).

Carol Sim- mons views John Steinbeck’s home in California. She took a class on him during her summer. (Photo submitted by Carol Simmons) Some teachers didn't toast by the pool all day, or even sit in a cool house catching up on their favorite soaps. They trav- eled to historical sitcs,attendcd classes on favorite authors, studied their special areas of interested even did research for books they're writing. Almost every year Carol and Richard Simmons spend a portion of the summer travel- ing. One summer they traveled to Salem, Mass., and along the cast coast. While Mr. Simmons, American history teacher, vis- ited famous historical sites, Mrs. Simmons, junior English teacher, researched the back- ground of The Crucible and The Scarlet Letter. I went to the customs house to find information on Hester, themaincharactcr of The Scar- let Letter. I also saw the graves of the characters, Mrs. Simmons said. One summer we went to California,and whileinSalinas I took a one-week class on John Steinbeck, Mrs. Simmons said. I saw the actual sites of Canary Row and The Red Pony. Jeff Wcik, American govern- ment teacher, took nine credits at Eastern Montana College in four and a half weeks. It took me a week to remem- ber how to study! Weik said. I did what a lot of high school students do; I procrastinated. Pat Smith, senior English teacher, spent her summer in Huntington, Calif., doing re- search for her book. The Huntington Library has the original drafts of several famous authors writings, Smith said. They even have a box which contains the ashes of the original copy of The Sea Wolf. While students lounged away the summer, their teach- ers were working to make the school year more exciting. ‘U Julie Askins Harriet Walsh, Typing Barb Warchola, English Adrian Wegner, Art Kay Wegner, Math Jeff Weik, History Ray Wells, Critical Needs Aide Patty Williams, Critica) Needs Aide Lisa Wood, Math Study 223 anna Buy a Horse? w With unlimited possibilities offered by new Macintosh computers and desktop publishing software, senior Megan Cox assumed the position of advertising man- ager for a second year.

I could sit there all evening or on Saturday, and no one ever bothered me. Montana's centennial year prompted some businesses to advertise; however, no one capitalized on the centennial theme and placed an ad which read, Wanna buy a Horse? HOT OFF THE PRESS.

We feel their words are worth remembering. ay:ng Goodbye We headed for the scratching post ' as we called it. The cows used the post to cure an itch, but for us, it marked the point half- way between my houseand Amy'shouse. It was always a contest to sec who could get there first. Our love for horses brought us together. Often we raced across my dad's alfalfa fields, making our horses' legs green from grass stain. At Amy's house, wq rode bareback in our pajamas and robes. Today vve rode, side by side, like the lead horses in a stagecoach team, chat- ting, laughing. As wc rode, wc began to reminisce about the funny things we've done in these fields. Those good times seemed so long ago, and today might be on of our last chances to be together. As wc got closer to the post, our horses broke into a sweat. They picked up the pace. In a minute, wc had completed our circle. Goodbye, Amy said, turning north to home. Goodbye, 1 said, turning south. That was all, 1 guess, except, as our horses realized they too had been split, Amy's neighed. Mine was quick to answer.They were echoing our good- bye.U Stacie Klundt emories of Class Firsts The class of 1989 at Senior High! Oh, I like the sound of it! The memories I've collected will stay with mo forever. I'll never forget am ving at school as a freshmen — the first-ever Freshmen Class at Senior High. I couldn't understand why all those juniors and seniors would pack them- selves together on one side of the gym, while we sophomores and freshmen had to sit on the sparsely populated north side. As I sat there taking the upper- classmen's inevitable verbal abuse, I thought to myself, Someday I'm going to be over there. Well, now I am! And hear me now, all you underclassmen. The south side pro- vides a much nicer view of the gym. Homecoming was unique this year with the return of the B-Day parade and the debut of the Bronc Bomber ' who failed miserably. It still bothers me that that horse couldn't get the job done. On the other hand, 1 did enjoy all the spectators who lined up just to watch. The pep assemblies were a riot! Every assembly as Student Body President Dave Quiroz would walk to the micro- phone, it would emit that awful high- pitched, car-piercing scream. How he did it, I'll never know. The AFS Follies were fantastic thisycar, as usual, thanks to Mr. Ncsbit. The show featured the Humanities Da neers, who stu mbled through the wal tz after the dry-ice machine spewed about a quarter of an inch of water over the back of the stage. Other acts included the world-famous Barbieshoppcrs quartet, the suggestive lumberjack Gabe Plank, and of course, Hanz and Franz. 'Ya, and if you think you're going to get as big as Hanz and Franz by just sitting there reading this article, you are sadly mistaken My favorite memory would have to be the first-ever Spring Fashion Show, put on by the Class of 1989. By the time the show was ready to begin, wc were all having a great time. I'd never felt as close to my class- mates as 1 did that night. And really, that's what high school is about — creating friendships that will last a lifetime. Others will think of other things — sports, drama, the newspaper, this class or that; but all of us will no doubt count this year, 1989, as one of the best of our lives. Cynics tell me that high school fri- endships do not last. I hope to prove them wrong. If I do not, so be it. I take with me rich, rich memories of a groat year in high school.

Finally, you can never forget the reason we went and the success we had, CONGRATULATIONS to Amy and Tamara for receiving Excellent Ratings, loSara forachoiv- ing an impressive Superior Rating, and to the entire Bronc Express staff for taking second in the Nation. Good job,you guys. The trip was great Sec ya in Seattle! olophon The 82nd edition of the Bronc year- book was designed camera-ready by the Journalism Department of Billings Sen- ior High School and printed by Taylor Publishing Company, Dallas,TX. Area representative Wayne Scharosch and factory representative Janie Garrison assisted the staff. The book's cover was designed by editors Kim Garrison and Keith McBride with graphic assistance by Monica Tol- liver. The type font on the theme pages, every division page, and the index is Avant Garde with the initial letter in Zaph Chancery using a box 20 or 40 per- cent gray. Avant Garde is alsoused in the head- line in the Performing Arts section. The head line was created on Superpaint. The quotes and sidebars are 40 percent gray, using Palatino bold. Student Life's headline is Palatino bold with varying point sizes. The headlines were created on Superpaint and the sidebars are 20 percent gray. The body and caption font throughout the book is Palatino. In the sports section, the headlines are 20 percent gray with bold Palatino type. The sidebars are 40 percent gray withhold, outline and italic Palatino. The page folios used varying point size Palatino bold type. In the Academics section, the large headlines are Avant Garde bold with the subheads. Narrow Helvetica bold and outlined. The sidebars are also Narrow Helvetica bold with varying point sizes. Headlines in the Mini-Mag are Zaph Chancery and the artwork was done by Monica Tolliver and Beau Mossman. All theme pages were 100 percent and 60 percent Sunrise Red 33 with a border of 60 percent gray. Mike Sheffield and his staff at Life Touch National School Studios photographed the people section, ex- cept the senior pictures, and all the group photos. The entire book was produced on Macintosh computers and desktop pub- lishing equipment. Putting aside the fact that many Bronc Express staffers feel the year- book is a joke, we would like to thank them for their support because deep down they know we’re the best. We extend a sincere thanks to our staffers for the hours they put in and the patience they showed in produc- ing this book. The section editors put up with a lot to complete their jobs, which they did successfully. Special thanks to Donna Miller, who appeared at the end of the year and worked on the Index—twice. Bert Kilboume deserves a round of applause for coming on short notice irregardless of the LATE hours to help retrieve lost and damaged files during the final week of work. Thanks! Finally, an extended thank you to our adviser, Judy Sam Cole, whose dedication and sacrifices made this book what it is. o Index____________267 ON THE EDGE . Aaron Eschler, Kara Sumner, Richard Owens, Kim Garrison and Rick Larson peer off the Rims after Rad Grad. Because of the recent increase in Rims accidents, the group of seniors were especially cautious while getting a bird’s eye view of the city. {Photo by Keith McBride) he winners' circle To honor the winners, parents of graduates threw an all-night party, commonly referred to as Rad Grad. Seniors were given a Jamacian Farewell in the new gym which was transformed into an island paradise. When I saw my person hanging on the wall I thought 'Oh, my God, take mine down!' Michelle Rooke said. But I liked the people — I thought it was a neat idea. Rooke was referring to life-size characatures of every graduate which could be identified by a but- ton containing a photo of the student. Students were seen racing down the hallway leading to the gym hurridly glancing at buttoms, exclaiming, Where am I? I've gotta be here someplace! The specialty decorations were the creations of Cathy Cross, mother of Tricia Cross, who spear- headed the decorating committee. Games, food, photographs, and fun continued from 11 p.m., when the doors locked, until 4 a.m. It was just great, Kara Sumner said. After the party we all went to Perkins for breakfast and then met on the Rims and talked and talked. We didn't want to let it end. Even the charactures on the wall stressed the indi- viduality so prevelent with the Broncs, again proving each was A Horse of a Different Color. U MEMORIES. Marika Ahokas, Kristen Roller, and Brad Vandiviere listen to Julie Askins explain a picture in her memory book. The new graduates sometimes had a hard time staying alert the entire time of the party.

Cleaning out the locker she shared with her friend Danna Meister, Allison Cage shows her excitement for the last day of school. Some students cleaned their lockers for the first time on the last day of school. (Photo by Judy Cole) he finish line Teachers often save what they consider the easiest for last while students consider it the best for last. Some teachers saved a class-correlated movie, while others saved the reading of a play or speeches for the last weeks of school. The change of pace allowed students to use homework time to study for final exams. During this academic lull, the Senior Class and StuCo officers staged not only the first-ever fashion show but also the first-ever double header prom. While fashion show funds paid for the class pic- nic, the Senior Citizens Prom cost the Student Coun- cil a few hundred dollars and was worth every penny of it. I didnTt expect to dance,but I hardly had a chance to sit down once I got through the door because the senior citizens kept grabbing me to dance, sopho- more Michelle Ingram said. You could feel the happiness and see it on the face of everyone as soon as you walked into the room, senior John Nickey said, expressing the sen- timents of most students who attended the event the night before the traditional Junior-Senior Prom at the Northern Hotel. The Senior Citizens Prom did more to improve the image of Senior High than any other event dur- ing the entire year, principal Jim Rickard said. The Bronc student body truly was A Horse of a Different Color, U MESSY. Wendy Rice and Angie Treat relate the experience of inarching through Rimrock Mali with sundae toppings on their face.
