YEAR ’6Z ’64 BEAR TEAMS HAVE ARRIVED Champion, n. 1. a valiant fighter. 2. a person who fights for another or for a cause; defender; protector. 3. a winner of first place or prize in a competition. Although Mr. Webster didn’t personally know the Billings West High Bears, he would have surely agreed—in one sense of his definition or more—that they have achieved championship stature in three short years of conference competition. This sports season the Bears passed beyond the underdog role of previous seasons and proved that they could compete and win against the other Montana schools of comparable size in all sports. It was a 1-o-o-o-ng football season, but the Bears had their moments, drubbing a massive Miles City team, literally burying an always formidable Butte Bulldog eleven, and out-battling the defending State Champion Great Falls Bison. Meanwhile Jack Young's cross-country team became un- official state champions for the second straight season in the Billings Invitational and dropped only one dual meet in early season. In wrestling, the Bear grapplers, while not as yet showing enough depth to handle the best of the conference, squashed the rival Senior High Broncs in early season, took lesser foes in convincing style, and developed some potential individual state champions in several weight classes. Basketball, of course, is yet a different story, for Kangas' hardwooders found themselves in the role of defending state champions at the be- ginning of their season. It was easy to fall from this pedestal, but they did not. Plagued with loss of key personnel and lade of height, the bustling Bears swept to first place in the division with only one loss in 18 starts—a great show of spirit and pride in a winning tradition. The stamina, attitude, and effort of this year's athletic teams won West High a position of high respect throughout the sports season. With the support of the students and Bear rooters the future teams of the school should continue to win this respect.

I One of the biggest events of the year was home- coming. This was the first for West High, and from this year on will be an annual event. The general theme for this year’s homecoming was School Daze. Services clubs throughout the school prepared weeks in advance before the big day—October 26. The parade was a combined activity with Senior High. There was a fifty-dollar prize given to the club with the winning float from each school. The float themes ranged from French Club’s Eiffel Tower to the winning float We’re the Bee Behind the Bear” prepared by B.A.C. and Jaybees, demonstrating the school spirit and sup- port shown by the teachers and students. »Wv - V. 1 «U1MIII
