A BIRD'S EYE VIEW. The corridor leading to the northwest entrance of the school became the meeting place for students who smoked and their friends. All students seemed to find their niche at Senior High, making it the melting pot of city schools.

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. The Sophomore Class float carried the cross-country team and the J.V. cheerleaders along the parade route. The parade was a new feature that enhanced B-Day spirit. (Photo by Keith McBride)
