Whether you were a “waver” or a “jock” everyone was the same. Still, beling at West really isn’t that of deal. Brandy Bengochea, senior, said, “I think it’s a stupid name(waver) “They only call us that be- cause the way that we dress.” John Davis, a sophomore who is in- ed in athleticsg tpressed a lether the response was good or bad most people agreed tnat being called a certain name really didn’t bother them. Like Cody Nepstad, sophmore said,”I don’t care what people call me.” Ken Siebert, senior said,”It’s tomatic to place people into I Becky Baird; juniori major- lid, “If I spfsom4one walk- Jwn the hall and I say “Hi” and they don’t, I think that they’re stuck-up.” Rachelle Reichert, freshman “brain” said that she tried not to make first impressions. And the question do people in these so called groups get along, don’t worry everyone agreed that they got along except one person who sairi,”I get along with the -cks it's the wavers I hate.” A NIGHT WITH THE GIRLS — Playing around before the REO Speed- wagon concert in August are Jodi Ehret, Stormy Weppler, Traci Takala and Alison Redinius, all seniors.

A FAST BREAK - Exchanging a quick hello between classes with their five-minute break are sophomores Jenny Dever and Kristin Phillips. I don’t make it a special effort. I just show them myself. I don't need to hide behind a false front or prove anything to them to 'fit in.'

This year’s sen- iors will leave a lot of gold behind them, while freshman are only be- ginning to amass their fortunes. What, exaedy, is it to have a golden friend? Friends mean dif- ferent things to different people. But when it comes down to it, our friends arc one of the most impor- tant parts of our lives, especially during high school. Here’s how Jason Kabalin, sophomore, feels about friends. “When you have close friends, you can tell them your problems, but with acquaintances it’s harder to confide in them.” Even though Laura Hickey, senior, and her friends share a lot of com mon interests, she said they don’t influence her much. ‘‘We all do our own separate thing.” This is possibly a reason why Hickey doesn’t fight with her friends. Kale Hogarty, sophomore, on the other hand, has small squabbles now and then with her friends about “their difference in ideas.” When asked how long do you hold a grudge against a friend you’re mad at, Hogarty replied, “Until they apologize.” The majority of students inter- viewee lo not use their friends’ toothh .-shes, and Shannon Hill, junior, ic [hem. Hcranswer to tha. s';e 1 was, “No, that’s gros1 ! r; on to say that if shew .-.or cl’s house with- outai ! i 'C wouldn’t just do v i. something to my tc I’d my finger.” e same ques- tion, Sea:: Elliott, senior, agreed and responded, “No, but I’d use their dental floss.” TEACHERS HAVE FRIENDS, TOO Pat Evans, Latin teacher, and senior Karen Eddy head off to lunch in a hurry to get to those muffins. SAY WHAT? - Jeff Switzer, senior, tries to decipher what his good friend is telling him. GO BEARS GO Bear crew and other West fans show their spirit at a foot- ball game. WE’RE NO. 1 - An unidentified senior, Randy Deyle, Nate Royer, Tyler Johnson and Paul Leary, seniors, enjoy themselves socializing at the rock after school. ’’What’s the funniest thing you have ever done with a friend? I totalled my car with Colleen Fitzgerald when I hit two cows, killing one. -Heidi Hag- strom, sophomore 'When me and my friend stole her dad's car and took it out cruising without a license. - -Robin VanEngen, freshman After moon- ing a couple Mormon chics, the police surrounded us with four cop cars and proceeded to arrest all of us. Then after we did time till three in the morning, the town priest per- suaded the fine officers to let such a serious charge slide by. - Tyler Johnson, senior OPENING $ ?' V - 9 t«9 voU'Zoin?, pu«? 9 Uf fau?, 9 i «9 When fall weather turns by Michelle Ottman Goodbye, school! Hello, summer! The sweet smell of coconut oil, the warm sun, suntanned bodies and baseball games — aaah! Summer at last. While some people relaxed on sandy beaches of tropical is- lands, others (in Billings) enjoyed the next best thing — Lake Elmo. A dollar admission could get anyone a day full of sunshine. Dccna Clark, junior, recalls, “The funnest thing I did all summer was going out with friends and suntan- ning.” One hot spot this summer cold was Duck Creek, a place where teenagers enjoyed the life-threat- ening experience of jumping off the 45-foot bridge into the muddy Yellowstone. 1 went to Duck Creek every day and jumped off the bridge,” admits Chad Hunt, sophomore. Another favorite activity of West H igh students during the ’88 summer was attending the Scar- lets games. The Scarlets, who traveled to Lethbridge, Canada for the state tournament, took second over all. “We (the Scarlets) had a real young team this ycar.We weren’t expected to do very well at the state tournament, but we played well and took second,” said Steve Kcttcrling, senior outfielder. Another 10-day trip was spent in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Chi- cago. Scott Wiley, junior catcher, said, ‘‘The trip to the Midwest was the best game experience we had all year. The teams we played were all state champions or top high school teams in those states, which gave us a good idea of how we needed to play the rest of the season against other exceptional teams.” If teenagers weren’t out driv- ing around or rcnting watching movies this summer, they could usually be found at “Gramma’s,” a place to gel a little dancing in or maybe just to mix and mingle. Whatever the reason, teens gath- ered there from the laic night hours of 1:30 to 3:30 a.m. Kirsten Pike, junior, quotes, “It was a great place to sec all your friends.” A popular spot during the F rth of July was Red Lodge. ■ :ivitie- included rodeos, pa- an great nightlife.

Jennifer Ackerly, senior, stated, “I went on a couple of trips, but the best one was Castaways in Minnesota becauseI-was-with all my friends.” j i Five students from West, along With 251 others across the nation,..experienced the Orient during the ’88 summer. The 36- day trip included traveling to Ja- pan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China and Korea. If the travelers weren’t eating barbecued grasshoppers or visiting the Olympic Park in Ko- rea, they were usually bargain shopping. Name brand items, such as Espirit, Guess and Benet- ton, could be purchased for $10 or less! Not only was the trip reward- ing socially, but culturally as well. Terra Pierce, senior traveler, recalls, “It gave us a real taste of culture and made me appreciate America.” There is a time, though, when classes must start and the tans must fade, but not the memories.

However some people agree West is a rich school. “I think for the majority West is a rich school,” said Tony Modroo, senior. Most West High students are not concerned with the amount of money their fellow students have. For the most part, they say they do not base their friendships on the amount of money their friends’ parents make. “It doesn’t matter to me if my friends are rich or not, because you shouldn’t judge a person by how much money they have, but by who they are,” explained Tracy Tierney, junior. Chris Clark, junior said, “I think personality and how a per- son acts are what makes the differ- ence, not how much money they have.” Excelling academically or in sports is thought to be more bene- ficial at West High by the majority of the students than coming from a rich family. “I think excelling in sports helps you to be better accepted at West because if you are the star of the teyou are well known and peep ook up to you,” Tierney said DUDES — Sopho- mores Gary Pippin and Troy Golding have a great friendship even though they have separate inter- ests. OPENING NICE WATCH - Is West High a materialistic school? Not if you ask stu- dents who go to school here. NO 100s ACCEPTED — Money might be thought of as the key to success at West High, but students individually disagree. Stu- dents interviewed by the Westward said that money does not buy acceptance at West. FRESH BLOOD: New students share impressions of first weeks at West by Kari Mitchell Billings West... a school of snobs and jocks who arc too good for each other. Or, is that just an idea people gel when they see it from the out- side? “Everyone told me West was where all the rich, stuck-up people went,” according to former Joliet Hawk Missy Vending. Coming from smaller high schools like Joliet with 85 stu- dents, or Park City with 100, this is the story most commonly heard. But, given patience and time. West is found to be actually more friendly than the small schools tend to be. “Kids are more willing to ac- cept new people here,” says Ra- chel Bidon, who transferred from Park City this year. “The reason I think it has such a snobby image is because you see people ‘dressed up’ all the time and driving nice cars. In Joliet it didn’t really matter what you wore. It’s like they’re representing West,” Vending added. As the old adage says, “Don’t judge a book by its cover, because looks can be very deceiving. “People here are really friendly and go out of their way to make you feel accepted,” Bidon said. Missy Ventling, Junior Night time is our time PRO CON by Jennifer Ostrum by Tiffani Cochran Although most teenagers do cruise 24th street week- ends, not everyone likes it. There are obvious bad aspects to cruising 24th such as wasting gas — and the costs can add up. This may not bother those people with a little car that gets excellent gas mileage, but to those people who drive trucks and jeeps and get only eight miles to the gallon, the cost can really add up. Another con with cruising involves a person’s chances of getting a ticket Cops are everywhere on 24th just waiting to pick up teenagers who accidentally cross over the yellow line or forget to signal. Getting a ticket can sometimes lead to higher insurance rates and even a pos- sible license suspension. Cruising also creates a negative image of youth in the eyes of the public. There were quite a few write-ups in the paper and on the news about all the trouble caused by teenagers cruising. Some reasons why adults are so dis- turbed are that teens have been urinating in people’s yards and vandalizing private property. Finally, there was plenty of violence and accidents associated with 24th. How many times has a person reached down to change the radio station or turned to talk to the passenger when suddenly, there is a loud screech and the person has just rear-ended the car in front of him. Last year a teenage boy was knifed on the point. If this is what is on 24th, why be out there? OPENING What do teenagers do on a Friday night? Some do cruise 24th Street West. Are you turnir up your nose in disgust? Well, after reading this article, m be y will change your mind. Cruising 24th has many sf ; p ts. For example, Mike Gambill, senior, said he li 'n - ing new people and “hanging out with friends. In agreement with Gambill i moi ■ nessaVeltkamp. “You get to see all your frie bee; use that’s where everyone is,” Veltkamp said. Michele Parry, senior, with a big smile on her face, said she went cruising, “to find some hot babes.” Likewise, Kevin Gilligan, senior, said he goes cruising, “to pick up girls.” Parry also says a person is able to, “see what else is going on.” Another reason to cruise cited by students was helping the economy. How? Well, McDonald’s, is a good place to start, along with Taco Bell, Hardee’s, and sometimes even J.B.’s. Also, think of how much gas is sold for the sole purpose of driving up and down 24th Street? Cruising 24th can be beneficial. Cruising can be fun. It all depends on what you make of it. After all, you’re only young once and if you end up doing something wild and crazy, you can always blame it on your youth and inexpe- rience. BE HAPPY - Smiling is no problem for these students who are having fun hanging out on a Fri- day night.

STUDENT LIFE BRUSH THOSE PEARLY WHITES - Kate Hogarty, sopho- more, concentrates hard on fighting plaque. by Kim Barone Many of the West High students made it routine to let the dog out first thing, go to bed at midnight, or brush their teeth during their shower. Some of the students who were polled in the fall agreed that getting up before the sun wasn’t always easy. The average West High student began his day around 6 a.m. and finally conked out around 10:30 p.m. Walking to the shower like a mummy with his her eyes closed was the student’s first activity after their body got out of bed. Most students — 49 percent — awoke to a music alarm. There was nothing more terrible than getting up to a parent’s scream or worse yet dog breath as Dan Houser, senior, did. It just didn’t cut it. Most kids brush their teeth after their shower and breakfast, when they have time to eat however, Skceter Morris brushed his teeth during his shower. The favorite and fastest breakfast meal was cold cereal. Crest with MFP was recommended most by West High students to get rid of the aftertaste of sugar-coated cereal. School! — the word dreaded in every household in the morning. But, we all had to get there some way or another. Eighty percent of the students drove and parked in the student lot A few who valued their car and feared ding marks from other careless students park on the street. Once we’re all at school, everyone knows the routine. First through six, always the same, nothing new. But wait, lunch came in between those long six hours of classes. Lunch was the best part of the school day, especially when Mom or Dad gave us money to eat with. (Twenty-two percent of the kids used their own money, too). Most students — 40 percent—ate on $2 at Rax or MacDonald’s. After we were all filled up everyone just wanted to go home. At the beginning of the year, before the popular soap opera was moved to 2 p.m., 31 percent of the students rushed home to watch Days of Our Lives. Most just kind of played it cool and went with the flow. Others worked or had sports practice. Most everyone ate a snack when they got home to tie them over until dinner. A glass of milk, cookies, or fruit usually satisfied most of us. After dinner and before bed was the prime time for doing home- work. Probably the best time was right when you got home while it was still fresh in your mind but 9 percent of the students who were polled agreed that the next morning before school was far better. Cosby and Growing Pains were rated 10 to 1 over doing home- work and were found to be far more interesting. Only about half said they watched television every night. After the long hard day it’s time to say “ Good night and see ya in the morning.” LOOK AT THOSE LASHES — Jill Montgom- ery, junior, lengthens her lashes in the locker room before school. AT LAST, A GOOD NIGHT SLEEP - Cindy Pierson, senior, awakes wide-eyed and smiling ready to start a new day. X LOT to put in the lot by Becky Zanto Come on— come on! I don't have all day!! There' 5 no way I'm going to make it out of this stupid parking lot in time to go home before work! Beep! Beep! Come onr This might pass for a cleaned up version of the mutterings of any student leaving West’s park- ing lot after school. A poll taken by 100 students showed that 78 of them drove. Now if 78 out of 100 kids drive imagine how many drive out of 1,840 students! There are 425 parking spaces and between 700 and 850 parking decals sold a year not to mention all those who park without decals. Stacy Lan- ning, sophomore, admitted to parking without a decal along with about 71 of the other polled students. There are a variety of differ- ent cars driven to school. From the family cars to the 1988 Toyota 4X4’s with personalized license plates that say “MINE.” We also have plenty of the “pieces” as well as everybody’s favorite 68 Mus- tangs and another favorite ‘The Cream Puff Corvette.” How many of these cars get hit would be the next question asked. Well 37 of the students polled have been hit. Jodi Ehret and friend Stormy Weppler.seniors, had come up with quite the plan to the 3:10 traffic jam. Ehret said “I drive like a bat out of you know where try ing to get out of the stupid lot and if that doesn’t work --1 let Stormy drive!” Weppler, who was a new student this year from Ryegate.Montana said “This is totally different from Ryegate’s parking lot! It didn’t take me anytime at all to get from one end of the parking lot to the other- but here it seems to take forever! When Jodi puts me at the wheel, I drive like a ‘small town maniac!’ If I can’t get out I put her at the wheel or think about walking to school!” “Come on — come on! I don’t have all day!! There’s no way I’m going to make it out of this stupid parking lot in time to go home before work!” Beep! Beep! ( Come on!” BITE THE BULLET - This Honda Interceptor takes a break from its daily use and abuse of rid- ing wheelies and racing cars.

Or here to stay? by Adam English Bullet bikes — the new thing, you’ve probably noticed these speed machines zipping past you on the highway, or maybe just cruising on 24th street.. They’re here, but for how long? A “New Generation” of bikes has arrived, and their numbers are growing rapidly. Mike Widmer, senior, says that he thinks that they will be around for a while because “they’re inexpensive to run”, and “rthey’re funl’However, Erik Toombs, junior, disagrees. “Just like any other fad or fashion, Toombs said,”people will get tired of them. They’ll just be another bike.” Be that as it may, many people were looking to buy one. But even people who already own them say there is a question of safety. Some people say that the bikes are dangerous; others say that the riders are at fault, not the bikes. The average speed of these monsters exceeds 125 mph. Which brings up another subject — helmets. In the state of Montana alone, there were 436 motorcycle accidents during the past year. Almost 68% of those accidents which involved the 15-17 age group were fatal, due to the lack of a helmet. That would be like the entire senior class dying in one year, because of motorcycle accidents. If those figures aren’t convincing enough, Jeff Fairlee, sophomore, offers another argument: “If I did’nt wear my helmet. I’d get a ticket.” Personalized plates: Are they worth it? by Suzi Cole The number of personalized license plates has increased drastically over the last few years. This is especially noticeable in the West High parking lot. What has caused this sudden craze? One sophomore says, “It’s a fun way to let your personality show.” Due to the large number that have been used, people have been forced to think more originally. In order to get what you want, you may have to use an alternate spelling.of your choice. Julie Hunt, senior, says, “I had to spell “RYTE ON” with a “y” instead of an “i.” Junior Deena Clark took two different spellings of the same word for two different vehicles. On one car she has “SCREMER” and on another she has “SCREAMR” The most common choices for plates are phrases reflecting the car itself or the driver’s name or nickname. Senior Eric Jones, for example, has “BIG BUG” on his license plate because “it’s a monstrous German import,” while junior Kirsten Pike has her nickname.”KEEK” on hers. Finally, some people choose to be as original as possible and put on “a spontaneous saying,” like senior Dan Houser’s “DO BES B.” z OPENING pxU' fa u}, fadf fatty, yatay Have a coke and a by Debbi Gorrell ... abcaulifulschool?The new addition to the campus of the school this year was paid for by the profits made from the Coke machine and $600 the Class of ’88 donated.

There are a few special dedicated atheletes who arrive at school as early as 6 a.m. and leave as late as 7:30 p.m. these athletes endure countless hours of practice and training in their quest for perfection. West High athletes are a special breed; their dedi- cation, hard work, and de- termination are what gives West High its golden win- ning tradition. These long grueling hours of practice are not spent in vain. At West High, athletics are a golden op- portunity to gain scholar- ships, make many special friendships, and to give yourself a feeling of ac- complishment.

SPORTS 2C _______________ | M . __� _LJ— Offense sells tickets, defense wins games Thai was Coach Marly Palmer’s philosophy throughout die 1988 basketball season. Our bcucr overall baskclball icam gave us an 18-6 record and things to strive for next year,” said Palmer. West girls took first place at divisional for the second year in a row and fourth at state. They also started a new goal which was, NO HOME LOSSES! I plan to keep these records going by improving our ability to apply man pressure out of full-court situations,” Palmer remarked. The girls season started out with a trip to Lewistown for a few games at a Class A tournament. These games-gave the girls a boost of confidence for upcomming games against Class A A teams. A trip to Miles City to play die Cowgirls brought the team it’s first loss •• by only one point. But they regained their confidence by winning games against Skyview and Great Falls High. Their next away game took them to Great Falls to go up against C.M.Russell. This was their biggest let down. They lost 47-63, which was their worst loss all year. That game wasn’t the only let down, after all the hard work dicy had pul in during the offseason, the C.M.R. coach was quoted in a news article by saying that West had no quickness and were no match for his team of dedicated girls. After winning a few close games they lost to Bozeman and according totcani members, they decided it was time to talk things out. dicy stayed in the West High gym until everyone had a chance to say how they fell. The girls agreed that they finally got their inlersquad problems worked out and started toward the top. When they won the Eastern divsional championship, they all fell like they had a chance at the suite title. Jill Montgomery, junior Toward guard, said. “Playing in the off-season, making a lot of sacrifices and commitments, and just wanting to after it, got us to slate.” The girls decided that they weren’t prepared for their losses at suite. They were proud of how they came hack on Saturday morning after a 46-59 loss to Kallispcll Friday night that brought llic realization of not being in the state championship game. “Fourth at state is a good accomplishment for the girls and next year we’ll uikc first with die uilcnt comming up, Palmer said.

It was almost like we had to do something wedidn’t want to do.” JodiEhert “Afterstate I felt let down and thought of all the things I could have done to change the weekend.” Kristy Doney “I thought that we could have done better at the tournament [state], but durning the season I thought we did good.” Jill Montgomery Playing in the off season. Making a lot of sacrafices and commitments and just wanting to get after and win.” Stormy Weppler After our win at Divisional,we had hopes of winning the state title. That was our goal. All year long and I don’t think we were prepared for losses at state.’ Allison Redenius As a team we worked super hard on defense because Mr.Palmer’s philosphy is that ofTense sells tickets, but defense wins the games.

Palmer gets 150th career win Coach Marty Palmer was very excited the night that the golden girls played Bozeman High at West. Little did he know this game would make it 150 wins in the books of his career. When the Golden Girls had traveled to Bozeman the first time they lost by a score of 40-42, but it was a different story when Bo- zeman came to West to play. The end score was 68-30, and with that the coach smiled, A LOT! The Golden Girls didn’t lose a game at home since the season started, and Coach Palmer was pleased about this! Low attendance at girls games hurts spirit Spirit — can you hear it? Sure, you could hear the parents, but was that enough? Usually at the girls basketball games there were only a few students yelling and clap- ping. If the girls were lucky thery would get half a section of the bleachers full. The cheerleaders were trying, but it was just thte lack of students at the games. Some of the girls said that if there were more kids at the games, they would have been more excited themselves, and it would have helped them win games. mtiLitiGToh SPIRIT — Jill Scarbrough,senior, Andra Swensonjunior, and Kristin Broeder, junior, hang up a Good Luck Bears sign made by future students at West, Burlington school kids.

Coach Paul Klaboe said the season went well because of experience, teamwork, ability, and the drive to win. That drive gave the team a 9-3 record overall. This year’s team was different, Klaboe said, because it did more work off season along with more weight room work. In the past, teams have pul in one week of two-a-day practices before the beginning of school, but this year’s team gave a full two and a half weeks to two-a- day practices in addition to the regul conditioning. With the Bears in better shape earlier in the season, coaches had more time to spend working on plays rather than nursing sore muscles and other minor injuries. The team showed promise from its first game, a 23-0 ro. : icLory against Missoula Big Sky.

The m et ended in an loss, id Butte 56. The coaches expected a rough wresil ing season this year, but didn’t know just what was in store. They knew they had to rebuild after losing such stand-outs as Cody Roach, Scott Beverly and Steve Zuklic last year. Believing they would still be strong they went to their first meet against Billings Senior, and they did fairly well. But: “We lost a lot of matches wc shouldn’t have,” Don Gleason, head coach, said, ”so we wcnL ‘back to work’ to correct mistakes.” The varsity team was young There were four freshmen on varsity this season. A prom- ising bunch of sophomores and freshmen, such assophomores John Davis and Lyn Baisch and freshman Jayc Henderson, reluming next sea- son will give the team enthusiasm. The student body did not play a big part in the season. Wresding can be the most diffi- cult sport and demands commitment and the ability to endure what ever may come. “Yet it recicves the least amount of spectator suppport ” Gleason said. Often the wrestlers are not given the recognition which they so d serve. The most common supporters at any given meet are parents, family, and clos friends. “Wc wrestled well over all this seasod but had a disappointing end to an otherwise good year,” said Gleason.

Juniors Jason Watson, Jeff Braun, Rich Hartl, and Bryce Scala led the way along with senior Mark Jablin on the team’s push to be slate champions. For the last two years the team has tak- en second, but this year the team went to state ready. “The team was led by these four juniors who are good examples because of their work ethics,” first year coach Milch Crouse com- mented. Watson stroked his way to a record in the 200 breaststroke, as well as holding his end up in the record-breaking 200 medley relay with teammates Mike Lechner, freshman, Braun, and Hartl. The record time was 1:42.91. A precursor to the team's success at Slate was the Billings City Meet Jan. 21 at Eastern Montana College. The boys took firstplace with 116 points, 27 points ahead of the nearest contender, Skyview. The girls swim team did not qualify a swim mer for the finals in the state meet, but the team is looking to more success next year with promising freshmen. z 46 SPORTS I ON OPPOSITE PAGE, TOP TO BOTTOM: BREATHE—Jason Watson, junior, swims his way to a win in the Individual Medley relay at the State meet.

Solid Gold From Homecoming to Prom -- special nights, golden moments By Kim Barone Whether you were a wallflower or fanatic dancer, dances at West High always seem to make for a good time. Whether you were asked by the school nerd and spilled spaghetti on your formal or had the first of many dates with some- one you always hoped would ask you, dances make for special memo- ries. Getting aLl gussied up for a night out to dinner, then a formal dance, inter- rupted the everday aver- age weekend or school day. With Twirp in the win- ter and Prom in the spring, students had two opportu- nities for fancy dress ro- mance. The other dances through the school year allowed students to get together with their friends and let it all hang loose.

A dance to remember marks Homecoming '88 The attitude of the students and faculty was an excited sense of joy this year as the football team won its first homecoming game in eight years. The Bears “thumped the hump,” as the saying went, as we defeated the Gillette Camels 39 to 10 on September 23. The annual Homecoming dance fol- lowed the game that night. As students were still excited over the game, tension rose for the announcing of Homecoming King and Queen. Soon screams of joy rang out as Julie Nelson and Scott Regan were crowned. Julie explains that being crowned was shocking but exciting and Scott seemed to agree with her. Julie and Scott had been going steady for 10 months when they were crowned.

Twirp rings in the holiday On December 3,1988, the West High student body gathered together at the Ramada Inn. The occasion? TWIRP! Handsome guys decked out in tux’s and beautiful girls in a colorful assortment of formal dresses danced up a storm and had a good time. Twirp this year was a Christmas dance. Several Christmas trees stood ateach end of the room and wreaths were placed on each table as a festive center- piece. At 11:00 p.m. the music was cut and the Twirp royalty candidates stepped on stage. The candidates for Queen were Darcy Barz, Jennifer Helvik, Colleen Johnson, Stormy Wcppler, and Becky Zimdars. King candi- dates were Dan Holgate, Jon Kowall, Sean Ryan, J.T. Smith, and Erik Zilz. People in the crowd clapped and screamed encour- agemen t to their favoritecandidate. S tormy Weppler and J.T. Smith were crowned Twirp Queen and King. The couple danced to the theme song “Hold on to the Night” by Richard Marx. Stormy says, “It feels good to know that I’m supported by the student body especially because this is my first year at West High.” J.T. sums it up by saying, “I’ll always ‘Hold on to the Night’ in my memory. WHAT A NIGHT — Randy Todd, senior, shows Lana Worthington, senior, and Derek Sucharda, junior, there is plenty of room to dance. Cold doesn’t stop Snowball Dance The weather was fitting for the 1989 Snowball Dance at 25 degrees below zero. But soon everyone forgot their frozen toes and put iheir feet to work dancing to the music pump- ing from the speakers and attempting to avoid the smoke pouring from an unknown source from the front of the gym. Snowball queen.candidates wereTracie Mafile’o, Jennifer Ostrum, Angie Peters, Jes- sica Wchri, and Lana Worthington. King can- didates were Travis Baugh, Sean Elliott, Lony Fischer, Grant Haman, and Steve Overby. After a long moment of suspense Jen- nifer Ostrum and Lony Fischer were announced Snowball Queen and King. The two danced to the theme song “In My Dreams” by R.E.O. Speed wagon. Then people swarmed back on to the dance floor to move to the fast beat of “Erotic City” by Prince. “Il was a real honor to be nominated and to have the respect of the stu- dent body,” commented Ostrum. For refreshments there was free punch and cookies supplied by BAC, who also spon- sored the dance. The cookies must have been a hit because there were none left by the end of the dance. Lynette Bell, senior and vice-president of BAC, said that decorations were tough be- cause of the lack of time needed to put them up and that the turnout was good and profitable. The only expenses were the music, the paint to make the posters, and renting the punch bowl.

Sweetheart king candidates were How- ard Castle, Bob Jahr, Orser, Chris Ruff, and Ty Yost. Queen candidates were Katie Frisby, Christa Hadcn, Julie Hunt, Renee Phillips, and Williams. “Ii was quite an honor that the majority of the student body voted for me, considering the well qualified nominees,” said Orser.

A fter a year of being No. 1 in Junior High, you’re stuck in a new school with a thousand other faces you’ve never seen before. So here you are, at the bottom of the Bear Pile and they tell you to act mature but “don’t get smart.” Already you can hardly wait for your Senior Year. Then you find out (through an unpleasant experience) that Jock Rock is just for the Juniors and Seniors - why else do they put those garbage cans there? Eventually you learn how to hit your locker just right so it will open and just how late you can be to P.E. (before your teacher gives you a detention.) And then by the end of the year you get to know Mr. Irion and Mrs. Sheely really well! When it’s all over, you have to admit being a Frosh was fun. It was different. You met lots of new people - maybe even that special guy or girl you’ve had your eye on since the first day of Physical Science. Best of all, now you’re a part of what makes the West High Golden Bears. ew generation NEW LEADERS — Freshmen take a new stand by electing Richelle Reichert as secretary, Pat Ludden for vice president and Anya Soriya as president.

All of the above seem to put a bad label on people who actually are doing the students of West High some good. We may not see it now but in the long run they are helping us. Administrators, counselors, and secretaries, work together to make West High an enjoyable place to be. They all try to help every student in any way possible. Working with students is a common interest among them all. Being an administrator, counselor,or secretary has its ups- and-downs. Watching young students mature into responsible adults is an enjoyable experience to oversee and creates a feeling of accomplishment within the staff. However, on the other hand, once in a while there is a bad day. “Working on a project that is a rush-rush job and being interrupted by the telephone,” frustrates Mrs Lacy, secretary, as well as many others. If it wasn’t for the administrators, counselors, and secretaries, school at West High would bcdull an unbearable. HELLO — Lew Morris, activities director, talks on the phone while debating whether to straighten his desk. 152 FACULTY Friendly touch will be missed West High lost one of its most beloved staff members in November 1988 when Mary Duecker retired. Duccker retired after eight years of being the first face to greet staff and students in the main office. Duccker said the thing she would miss most about her job would be the same thing she liked best about her job: the people. According to polls taken by the student newspaper in October, the people will miss Mary Duccker, too. “I’ll miss it, but there arc two sides and I’ll enjoy my time at home.” ANY TIME— Gerald Lenander checks out his schedule to see if he can cram in another appointment.

Our janitors: and cooks help make West H'gh more like home. They make West as pleasurable a place as possible to spend seven hours of our day. These friendly people keep our school clean and our stomachs full. The janitors and cooks are wonderful people who arc always willing to spend time helping the students of West High.

Mrs. Kendall’s own three children are strung out across the Unites States from Portland to New York. She misses her children very much and looks upon her students as her own children. Kendall was bom in Colombia, South America and lived there until she graduated from high school. She then spent two years in Atchinson, Kansas at an all-girls school which specialized in foreign languages. There is where she met Mr. Kendall. Kendall then went back to Colombia to think about, “marrying a gringo,” she said with a twinkle in her eye. She stayed in Colombia for six months and decided, yes, she would marry him. The two were married in Bogata in 1959 and then went back to Kansas where they lived for thirteen years. Mrs. Kendall finished her schooling at Witchita State University. Spending thirteen years in Kansas caused Mrs. Kendall to miss the mountains of her homeland and so her family often went camping. One of their trips was spent in Montana and the Kendalls fell in love with the country. And so the family moved to Montana fifteen years ago. Kendall was interviewed here at West High for the position of Spanish teacher and got the job right away. Since moving to Montana, Kendall has not returned to Colombia because her family has all moved to the United States.cxcepl one brother who still lives in Colombia and one sister who lives in Spain. Because of this, Kendall has visited Spain many, many times. Kendall says she loves teaching and is hoping to host an exchange student next year. Nostalgia -- Maria Kendall recalls her move to the United States. ........' I Jim Coleman Sue Fischer Ronald Fisher Lowell Gorseth Roger Megerth Lew Morris Tom Hornung Nancy Larsen Do you think of your- self as an “easy” or “hard” teacher? Do you think stu- dents see you that way? “I like to think that stu- dents feel my course (I teach one class of American History) is easy because I try very hard to provide avenues for success. I consider myself hard because I do demand performance.”— Alan Anderson “I don’t see myself either way. I hope the students see me as someone who expects them to succeed and learn.”—Geor- gia Frazier “I think of myself as a ‘good’ teacher. For some stu- dents, that makes me ‘easy’; for others, that makes me ‘hard’.”—Steve Handley “Neither, a ‘fair’ teacher with high expectations for my students. I think they see me as a fair person who is demanding yet shows compassion.”—Ed Kriskovich “Hard ‘a la iron fist in the velvet glove’.”—Roger Megerth “I feel I’m easy with grades but hard with discipline and I think my students see me that way too.”—Lance Orner Betty Waite Myrna Watson Bruce Wendt Cindy Hummel Maria Kendall Lynn Marquardt Margaret Vermillion Leslie Whalen Getting Involved What is the definition of basic education? The legislature met in Helena this year with one of its main concerns being lo define basic education. Since their definition may deter- mine funding for schools, senior English teacher Bill Shikany is interested. Shikany's interest in politics is well known to faculty and students who are used to seeing him work for political candidates and to try to get petitions signed. Shikany said that we need to watch how the legislature defines basic education. West High is beyond basic eduation, Shikany said, be- cause of all the enrichment and elective classes offered. Shikany said he hoped the legislature would be able to equalize funding to the needs ofall the schools, the big and the small. Shikany said hebelieves that seniors should be interested in politics because Lhey are so affected by the results. For example, he pointed out, universities receive funding from the state legislature. The universi ties must be funded adequately in order for students to be taught by qualified teachers in the stale. Shikany also said that the rest of the stu- dents should be involved in politics because the classes will keep getting bigger if more money is not funded to the school. Shikany said he is pleased whenever a student shows interst in politics because poli- tics is a learning situation. It's Politics — Bill Shikany says the school funding policy needs to be watched closely. . FACULTY HEALTH HOME EC.

He decided to leave at this time because he doesn t believe in leaving a class until he has seen them through their high school years. He also cited his not wanting to be considered an old man by the students as a reason for retiring now. He began leaching in 1952 in Hardin and has since spent 20 years at Lincoln Junior High, 3 years at Senior High, and 13 years at West High. He taught mainly social sciences with an occasional science class. Over the years he said the main change he has noticed is the freedom of expression girls have. Their use of four-letter words has gone from nonexistent to common. As far as boys are concerned, they have changed very little. The only major change he has noticed in faculty is their use of first names when speaking to each other and their less formal attire. He has also noticed changes in studying habits over his career. When he first began teaching, just after World War II, sludents studied hard and strong emphasis was placed upon educating oneself. Later, after the Vietnam War, studying was down. The students now are “easy to work with, more pliable, and generally cooperative. Although he will be sad to go, he has never been unhappy with being a teacher. “If I could do it over again, I would probably be in education.” f % ■ 1 Pondering — Jerry Lenander looks back over his years in education. 160 FACULTY MUSIC SCIENCE What would you say has been the most important influence on your life? “My interest in Ger- many:. its language, culture, people, history.”—Cindy Hummel “God.”—Dale King “Great writers, good minds”—Nancy Larsen “My college professors influenced me strongly in both teaching and painting ca- reers.”—Donna Loos “My family”—Betty Waite' “Going to the military.

Due to the budget cuts, clubs and sports have been forced to “scrape by” with lass than ever before. One example is drama. Al- though it is a class, each student had to pay $10 to be allowed to travel and without traveling, a stu- dent flunks the class. Another example is ma- jorettes. This year it was necessary to earn more money by themselves in order to go on Divisional and State meet trips. Despite the lack of funds, organizations still had fun and managed to get a lot done. They pre- sented a golden opportu- nity to meet friends and show school spirit.

The roadtrips arc what make it all worthwhile.” Speech helps to build self-confidence and experience is gained. Randy Todd, irffiTiiH—■■ senior, agreed that “competition is too stress- ful, but the roadtrips arc fun.” Debate, like Speech, teaches much of the same skills. Debate is the gathering of information thalallowsforadefenseagainst a topic. There arc two sides to each topic, affirmative and a negative. Both require evidence. Two lypes of debate occur in competition. One-on-one is known as a Lincoln Douglas or LD’ers and team de- bate which is Lwo-on-two. Debate requires hours of research and organization. Many hours are spent in the library. When Mike Holley, junior, was asked what he thought about debate, he stated, “I learned to speak in front of people without preparation ... and I learned how to use the library.” The students in Speech and Debate are dedicated to excellence. Many hours of research arc spent out-of-school for both classes. Througout the speech year, points arc accumulated that give students an opportu- nity to join the NFL (National Forensics League). This give outstanding students who compete in speech a chance to be recognized nationally. Two such students are Monica Zyph and Shane Coleman, who were chosen to represent West in Golden, Colo., where the NFL holds its annual competition for the best of the best in high school speech competition. Zyph said her placings in the state compeiitons, while usually very high, had not prepared her for her first place finish at the Montana NFL competition in Butte in February. This was Zyph's first year in competitive drama. Students chosen for NFL had to pay their own travel expenses.

Kevin Buffing- ton and Jason Wcbinger returned to be assis- tant coaches. The president of Drama Club, Dave Overturf, helped in the success of the team. Senior Chad Ferris stated, “Dave has been a great president and has given the team much moral support.” Melanie Nichols, sophomore, also agrees. “Dave always gave everyone great support at the meets.” When students were asked what the best part of drama is, a common response was “the trips!” “You hardly get enough sleep or eat the right food.,” commented Chad. Because of the budget cutbacks within the school system, the drama students were allowed only two out-of- town trips, excluding State, whereas last year they were allowed four. “Having one more trip or competition helps gauge how you’ll do at State,” Ovcrturf said. Nichols said “there is more pressure towards the end of the year because there is less time to prepare.” Zena Stephens, junior, said, “One thing that makes drama one of Lhc best experiences in high school is the fact that everyone is equal on the drama team. There are no jocks, stoners, geeks, poodles, or scum, everyone likes every- one and lasting relationships are built because of this.” Being the youngest member of the team, I felt like I fit in, said Reed Selwyn, freshman. “All the members in drama become very close by the end of the year,” says Ferris. The Drama Club finishes off the year with a Drama Awards Banquet. The girls dress up in formals, and the guys wear jackets and dress pants. The awards forbestactors and actresses are determined through voting by members of the competitive drama team. The Drama Hall of Fame selection for the year is also announced at the awards banquet. All drama team members vote on the hall of fame selection and the student’s picture is hung in Watson’s English classroom. CROUCHING — Dave Overturf.

V.Thc “bad guy” here is a lawyer heading a group that wants the book banned. This lawyer, Peter Montgomery, who is played by senior Dave Pust, and Matt Collins, the teacher, look to the school board to decide the issue. During the meeting of the school board, an entrance is made by Ken Siebcrt, the senior who played the author of McVey’s Revival. Surprisingly, he doesn’t support his book as appropriate classroom material because he docs not feel it is important enough. He merely defends the righl of a teacher to choose what he thinks should be taught. The school board president, played by junior Joel Wcbcrg, finds himself in the position of the final decision-maker. After careful thought, hedccidcs he has nochoice but to order Collins to stop teaching the book. He explains hisdccision to Collins by stating that, “Your opposition will yell louder and longer than your supporters would if I voted the other way.” Pust said, “This play caught a lot of people off guard in the end. It was not the ending they expected. It was very frank, and very real.” According to cast members, working together on the play made them a lot closer. Craig Beddow, senior, said, “It was a lot of fun because we worked well together and there were no ego trips. Also, it was very well cast.” For a change of pace, this year’s play had new directors. Junior Karla Barz, who was thrown into the play five days before opening night.said that Lhey, Mace Archer, a former West High student, and Lysa Fox, “were really good.They expected a lot, but were supportive and a lot of fun.” This year’s stagecraft crew, headed by John Battaglia, were able to get sets to- gether in time to put in a good show ing at all three performances.

Student Government: members of a separate clique or LEADERS OF THE PACK? Student council - needed or another excuse for an extra-curricular activity? Student council is an equality organization made up of concerned students and this year has been another successful year in view of our accomplishments, remarked Mike Holley, junior president. Susan Downer, junior, said, It's a lot of fun. but many people don't realize the time and effort involved. Student council is an excellent way to learn the governing process, responsibility, leadership, and committment. All in all. I'll give it two thumbs up! said Sean Elliott, student body president. The royalty process was changed twice.this year to try to include the school as a whole. West beat all the rest of the Billings area schools by at least one ton in the annual Food Drive in December. Students brought in an amount of food equal to last year's record-breaking total. The drive raised S600 for Toys for Tots and $ 1,000 to buy turkeys for the Rescue Mission. BOYS AND GIRLS STATE Half of the students honored with being chosen for Boys and Girls Nation this year were from West. All students at Montana Boys and Girls State are eligible to run for Boys and Girls Nation. Elected by the other students, four arc chosen. Steve Overby and Colleen Johnson spent a week in Washington, D.C., representing Montana at Boys and Girls Nation. Boys State is what the individual wants to make out of, Overby said. I had a great time and learned much about state government. My work at Girls State gave me friends, knowledge, experience, fun, and, of course, a chance to go to Girls Nation, remarked Johnson. Overby said, Boys Nation was even better! Not only was it a chance to learn about national government, it was a time to learn about patriotism. The American Legion does a great job with both programs and I strongly recommend both. All West's partiepants in Boys State and Girls State was another big hit this year said they liked the experience. The boys and girls state were held in different towns at different times, the boys in Dillon and the girls in Helena. Dave Pust, senior, said he generally liked the Boys State experience but that being around only boys for a whole week was tough. You're going to be in Dillon, Montana, with 500 other guys and aftera while, the cooks stan to look good, Pust said. joeyu MaKTUU M3KTAMA BOYS STATE — Bottom Row: Dave Overturf, Steve Overby, Eric Aslakson, Doug Odegaard, Dave Wrench, Paxton Tupper.

Involvement in service clubs allows students to . _ J CO FOR THE GUSTO - National Honor Society, Varsity Club, and Future Homemakers of America service the Billings community. Many student have • ..n to be a member through • . or hist plain'fun. an organization in- volving sl'.kH': cd by teachers’ rat- ings. . v. -oint averages, and involve- ment. is their key goal. Honr- oived in an annual tutor. ;i'gh the counselors' office ' ■■ ■' . nts having trouble in a parf .oiar subject. ‘It makes you feel good-. ,i ’re helping somconcand , making •' c ■ crence,” Andrea Grover, sen- ior, said. Other projects include sponsoring a ,dance, buying books, and donating money to departments unable to purchase items. Feb. 10 at MctraPark, NHS sponsored a statewide dance after the state wresding meet. Buying books for the library and donating money to departments helps to counterbalance with the budget cuts. Varsity Club involves members that have “lettered” in a sport and are active in athletics. Striving for excellence is a com- mon interest shared among all. “We try to motivate and support the teams at West,” Steve Overby, senior president, said. Varsity Club is involved with Dress- A-Child, the elderly, and Lettercttes. The Dress-A-Child program at Christmas pro- vides the needy children with warm clothes. During winicrsports, members havebrought elderly from nursing homes to watch home games. The ever-famous Letterettes arc senior lettermen who practice before school just like the “real” majorettes. They per- form for a boys basketball game as half- time entertainment. FuLurc Homemakers of America is a service organization that helps students assume active roles in society. Learning home economics through education in the areas of personal growth, family life, voca- tional preparation, and community involve- ment help them to strive for excellence. FHA isan activegroup that has helped Billings. They have been involved with Dress-A-Child at Christmas, the Mothers’ March of Dimes, and have donated food, such as turkeys, for the needy. Carving pumpkins and taking them to a nursing home is another fun service they do. FHA is a nationwide organization competing at the state and national level. A sandwich making class prepares students for competition at state. Making a sand- wich, and cleaning up in 15 minutes is an example of one area of competition. Kim Lee, historian, agrees, “I learned how to get along with people.” NHS — BACK ROW: Bryan Clark, Scott Newell, Michael Majors, Travis Orser, Sean Ryan, Jeff Uhren, Jaylene Naylor, Howard Castle, Mark Jablin, Eric Jones, Steve Overby, Shayne Short, Mike Kongelf, Steve Herren, Lony Fischer.

It kind of gives you a good feeling to know you're helping the school by doing something for it. Key Club is a popular organization within West High, which meets every Tuesday morning. Key Club's main purpose is to serve the community and school while having a great time. Key Club International is the world’s largest high school service organization with 125,000 members in 3,600 clubs world-wide. It has become the youth service organization. Key Club raises a large sum of money throughout the year, mainly through sponsoring Little Guy Wrestling and selling concessions for a few football and all basketball games. This club especially enjoys helping others. Key Club uses its funds to help MDS, and the Special Olympics. They do many services within our community such as Trees for Trash, Special K Ranch, which is for the mentally handi- capped, and adopting a grandparent at St. John's nursing home. Dress a Child is Key Club's favorite community ser- vice to do. They receive money and take a child shopping for new clothes that they cannot provide themselves. Key Club has done such things as providing a new sign in the football field and beautifying the entrance to our school. Key Club has had speakers from pro- grams such as Tumbleweed (Runaways) and business people, such as attorneys, CPA's, a policewomen, a highway safety representative and Viet- nam veterans. “Key Club gives you a chance to help the community and give something back to Billings and West High, said Rusty Reichert, freshmen.

With these words Linn Parish, editor, set: he tone for the year in the Kodiak. The school r ■.‘•paper this year worked hard for ah ‘ t ; ve final product and it paid off.

For editors and advisor were at sc: oo' . - ! midnight one night working on ue of the Kodiak. r ■ ■ odiak was not just slaving over Computers, however. Such antics as Steve Overby and Joe Paisley downing pizzas (not just pieces but whole pizzas) at layout, Ken Sicbert and Dave Pust touching Mrs. Pavlish, and Jennie Kinsfather and Rachel Johnson asking the standardized question (Do you like Bob Dylan?) to anyone they look a picture of made the class truly fun. At Christmas members of the staff exchanged gifts purchased for under a limit of S3. Some highlights of the exchange included a Pandy the Race Bus Driver primer given by sophomore Kinsfather to Parish; a teenage mutant Ninja turde given to ad salesman Gina Soriya, junior, from editorialist Overby, senior, and a pair of fuzzy dice for the love bug for Sicbcrt from Shannon Wipperi, junior. On the serious side, members of the Kodiak staff were always working to improve the product, Parish said. After the production of every issue, the class as a whole critiqued the issue and discussed its good and bad points. Some Kodiak staffers went to Anaheim, Calif., in April where they competed in journalism contests with students nationwide. The staff earned money for this by selling tournament programs at the State Boys AA basketball tournament in March during the week- long prespring break. The size of the class increased at semester time from 23 to 33. This was an excellent boost in morale fort the entire class. KODIAK — Front Row: Jim Trewhella. 2nd Row: Bryan B.

Cheerleaders enjoy riding the bus, eating meals and room- ing with the (girl) players. Cheri Cozzens, varsity, explaine- d,“It’s fun to get to know everybody. You find out what the players and other people on the squad arc really like.” Only varsity cheerleaders are allowed to travel with the teams. Becky Hatch- er, varsity, spoke of road trips as “a privilege you get when making varsity.” The ’88-'89 school year is the first year the sophomores and freshmen have been combined into one squad. Al- though the freshmen sophomore squad is involved with many of the same things as the varsity, there are disad- vantages to this situation. Diane Hines, sophomore, said, “Ft’s a big change because you’re cheering for both freshmen and sophomores. Another problem with the change is that there are only 3 sophomore and 3 freshmen cheerleaders who lead their class at pep assemblies, whereas juniors and seniors have five or six. Cheerleaders are responsible for pep assemblies, too. But both Tierney and Cozzens agree that pep assemblies should be changed. They think that the student body should be able to entertain once in a while. For example, allowing drama to perform skits would add en- thusiasm to the assemblies. After all, getting people involved is what cheer- leading is all about. Even though chcerleading requires dedication, hard work, and is time con- suming, the exhilarating feeling of in- volvement with the team makes it all worthwhile. Nicole Williams, varsity, concluded, “By spending so much time with the teams, we feel like we're part of the team. When they lose, we lose. When they win, we win.” Tracey Tierney Katie Rupert Heidi Booras Nicole Williams Kirsten Pike Jeani Link Becky Hatcher Niki Kittelson Julie Nelson Tori Larson Cheri Cozzens Niki Kittelson, ju- nior, has something to cheer about. 181 Organizations VARSITY CHEERLEADERS NEW CUSTOMS? -- Foreign exchange students Kia Soderlindh and Tracie MaFile'o talk about their foreign exchange experience.

Every year foreign exhange students seek out an experience like this. Usually they adapt quickly and with- out much difficulty. Carol in Arnal (Germany) said, “The first ■ - o months I had trouble with slang, but not art more.” first it was difficult,” Tracie Mr -v v, (New Zealand) agreed. “Slangs were re:;! different.” Bui apart from the slang, there were no real language barriers, as Nicole Cremer (Germany) explained: “Every child starts to learn English in the first grade.” One issue the students noticed at first is how closely tied school and activities are. Mafilc’o said, “It’s a lot more social and you do more with school.” In Germany, as in other countries, there arc sports such as basketball, badminton, volleyball, tennis and golf, but they are not school-related. Instead, “you can just try out for them — like league — and now we even play other towns. It’s really fun,” Cremer said. Classes also brought comment. “I think the school is great, about being able to choose the subjects that you really like,” Barbara Escholar (Spain) said. Amal agreed, adding, “You go from class to class. Wc just had one class.” But Escholar didn’t particularly like this aspect, saying, “You don’t have the same people in the classes and can’t really gcL to know the people in your classes.” Kia Soderlindh (Sweden) pointed out that Lhe ages are different here. “I used to be the youngest in my classes, and now I’m one of the oldest,” she ex- plained. Sandy Nielson (Denmark) agreed. saying, “Thcguys hereare much younger.” Steve Rolle(Switzerland) said he likes America because it's bigger. For some the food was hard to get used to, but not for all. Escholar said that “I like all more or less of American food,” while Nielson and Cremer had another idea: “American food makes you fat!” Niel- son said. “And you’re always eating! Oh, havea doughnut here, and cake, and cookies and candy!” Cremer added. At the beginning of the year, Ari Kurimi, an AFS exchange student from Japan joined the other foreign students at West, but went home in November. Escho- lar transferred to West in the middle of year because “I was in Reedpoint (Montana); but the high school only had 20 students so they switched a few of us.” You watch TV...

Hola bonjour, guten tag, salve!: students gather in CULTURE CLUBS Foreign language clubs have become very popular al West High. These clubs allow students al various levels of learn ing a foreign language to get together. Learning to speak a different language and learning about a differcnLculture can bean exciting rxpericnce. Senior and member of German Club L' no tic Bell stated, On Thursdays after. diet-i German Club members can go in am’ speak German for a half hour or so. It help : you a lot in class. .itudents who have visited a foreign country have a chance to share their piricnccs during a meeting by bringing pictures and souvenirs. Kim Strosky, president of Spanish Club commented that when she shared her stories about her trip to Equador, the club members became enthusiastic and wanted to hear more. Everyone who is a member can share in the special experience. These clubs meet after school about twice a month. One of the responsibilities of each club is to nominate royalty candidates. They also take on the responsibilities of working at concession stands during games and selling various kinds of candy to earn money for the club. Working in the concession stands selling pop earns money for our club and is a good way to meet people in both your club and the other clubs. said French Club member Tanya Massing. The International Dinner united all the language clubs for an evening of learning about the cultural differences of each language. The members of the clubs met in thccafelcria. Every club played a part in preparing the meal. All the clubs sang Christmas carols in their respective languages and a special entrance was made by Perc Fouctlard, a French version of Santa Claus. This fun and exciting evening was a great success. Jason Eastwood, senior and secretary of French Club pointed out, At the end of the year French Club has an annual dinner, in addition to the International Dinner, to give the members of the club a taste of an authentic French meal. Being a member of a foreign language club is a great way to get involved with West High's school activities. In fact, a foreign language class isn't even required to join the clubs. All that is needed is an interest in the culture, a willingness to spend a liti e time for the club, and the ability to get along with others.

CHECKED IN — Becky Baird, junior, plays at the teacher's desk with her stamp pad and stamps at the SADD Christmas party.

The SADD meetings consist of the organizations future, guest EFFECTIVE speakers for both their meetings and the public, and what the group of 20 to 30 can do for West students’ future to keep them from becoming statistics. “Why should students care?” Julie Wilcox, freshman, answers, “You want to help others after knowing and experiencing the posibilities and downfalls alcohol can cause.” The SADD chapters have spread into the surrounding junior highs and were working on the knowledge of the near by elementary students. They worked to explain the truenessof our peers and alcohol, especially alcohol and driving. A first question usually asked is, “How many of you drink, then get into an automobile and drive or ride with someone who has been drinking?” Many of the students answer this question “yes.” SADD members sign “A Contract for Life.” Both the student and their guardian(s)sign promising if cither of them needs a ride because they have been drinking or arc with someone who has been, a ride will be provided with no questions asked. Everyone who was interested in SADD was invited and encouraged to bring a friend and enjoy the experiences.

It’ssomething you can get involved in and not worry about having to compete with everyone,” explained Felina Almanza, junior. “An Club is not full of a bunch of nerds that have nothing else to do,” Almanza went on,” you don’t have to have a lot of talent to be in Art Club you j ust have to try.” Vicki Smatla, senior and Art Club presi'lcm, commented, “Art Club is one of the ; • • : active clubs at West.” j also said shccnjoys the interaction wi.': any students in different student groups. ' jre arc a lot of different groups in Art ! . It’s not jusL jocks or stoners or nerds. There is something for everyone,” Smatla said. “The Art Club is smaller this year, there aren’t as many boys,” said Ken Den- ning, Art Club adviser. “The kids are sin- cere, they want to do things and they enjoy doing the different projects.” “We try to do different things and mix ir tiTitriti —— personal projects and school projects so that we get a big variety,” said Denning. “ ArtClub tries to promote school spirit. Many years ago Art Club started the idea of putting Bronc Busters and things like that on T-shirts,” Denning claimed. Some of the different activities Art Club is involved in throughout the year are: painting faces on W-Day; working conces- sion stands; and going to places of artistic interest, such as Ihe. Billings Gazette and the Yellowstone Art Center. Art Club worked on various forms of art work such as silk-screening, sculpting, jewelry, painting, and tie-dying. One of the most noticeable Art Club projects this year was the festive decora- tions of the main office windows at Christ- mas. “We had a lot of jun painting the win- dows in the office,” Denning said. “We started with just a design and then drew that design on the glass with a bar of soap. “After we finished the basic outline of the design we used tempera paints mixed with liquid soap and filled in the detail. The liquid soap made the paint stay on the glass without cracking and falling off,” he went on. “The Art Club did a pretty good job painting the windows in the main office before Christmas,” said Carol Newell, hall monitor. “It added to the festivities. The kids worked hard and they have lots of talent.” Dave Irion, dean of students, added, “It was really nice. Anything we can do to add to the festivities is great. Art Club has a lot of creative talent and these creative talents are always appreciated.” “The Art Club did an excellent job painting the windows in the office. I hope they continue to do these kinds of things in the future,” said Patty Lacey, main office secretary. In the winter Art Club held classes on photography and video-recording in which they covered the basic skills.

IHHWIiL LI JLD Student aides learn school's ropes; helping staff puts them on the INSIDE JOB AVAILABLE APPLY IMMEDIATELY AGE: Freshmen through seniors QUALIFICATIONS: No experience nec- essary. A high degree of responsibility and gooci character are musts. Duties vary with immefiitc employer — some may require paper grading, some may need typing; all w:;: need your help. PAY: None. .INFERENCES NECESSARY That is the job description as it might apply to office aides, those students who spend one period hclpi ng a teacher or office employee gel his work done. Although thccntrance level skills are not loo complicated, office aides exit the TRACK experience with a belter knowledge of the school system. Some learn the ins and outs of teacher grading (“I never realized how much a zero hurls your grade in a class until I was a teachers’ aide,” said one student). Others help process the upwards of 3 mil- lion copies printed in the offset room every year. Still others run TV’s and audio visual equipment back and forth forGraham Sims, the A V technician at West. Most aides agree that the experience of being an aide is a lot better than sitting in a study hall. “I have a good time iterrupting classes and not sitting in the study hall,” Randy Dcyle said of his first semester experience as an aide. “It’s fun to work with Mr. Sims, because he lets you clea the machies and watch M-TV. And we play cards when I’m done with everything else!” said Jake Metier, sixth period AVA aide. Metier recommended the experience to anyone as a good opportunity to learn moreabout the inner workings of theschool and still get your homework done. “It’s fun because you get to know the administrators better and you also get to drink pop!” said Robyn Reiger about her duty in the Activities Office. Reiger is one of many aides to Cheryl Gilbert who help her process student ID’s, collect cap and gown money, sell activity cards and tickets to the games and other business of one of the busiest spots in the school. Working for teachers as individuals can make them seem more human, as many aides have found out. Freedom from the restrictions of a classroom for one period a day gives these students time to rest and collect yourself and prepare yourself for the day ahead, said another aide.

Betty Ncsbit paused, That's a long story.” Thirty years ago, Betty and Charlie Nesbil began the West High majorettes. And today 30 years later, they’re still working hard with them. “It was my first year at West and the adm inistration told us that every teacher had to also have an extracurricular activity, Betty began, Mr. Jones (principal at the time) asked me if I’d teach English honors and do majorettes too. I asked ifl could have English without majorettes, but he said ‘all or none!”’ Well, a reluctant but optimisLic Betty Nesbit took on the challenge of the West High Drill Team. “My husband said ‘Sure you can do it. I’ll even help you.’ So I did, and I stuck him to it. Thirty years, and he’s still helping !” Nesbit explained. They started with eight girls and from that time, the numbers increased each year, until 15 years agowhen flags were added. “We only had enough girls for a majorette corp until then,” Nesbit remembers. So after 30 years and many changes. West High’s majorette corp - 17 flags and 38 jettes - is still headed by that original duo: Charlie and Belly NesbiL Betty said that if she could change one thing about the program, it would be “to go back to the old way when we had it first period in the morning!” With some help from the girls, Charlie does all of the choreography. Nesbit explained, “He’ll sometimes ask ‘Is there something you’d like to add here,’ or ‘Is there anything else you’d like to do there?’ and we get it done. Sometimes we try things and they don’t work, so we have to change them, but it all works ouL” “It can be frustrating at times, and we seldom get a vacation from it, but overall, it provides a great sense of satisfaction,” Nesbil added. km ALL TOGETHER NOW!- Freshman Stacy Wilson, junior Debbi Gorrell, and senior Becca Barthelmess get into the spirit for the majorettes'Christmas show on December 13.

In a majorettes spend close to 4(' ours practicing their routines, along wi , : ;-T 2,000 chocolate bars and 600 'jp . - . : s: of sausage, organizing a major . 'mg for up to 15 Basket- b?J i and football games. Being ‘ majorette takes a lot of hard wo: k and dLc inline that most people don’t realize. Bui, they do it all for those 15 minute shows you see at halftime. “We get lots of support during per- formances, and that’s what’s important,” said senior Becca Barthelmess. Deena Clark, junior, added, “Some- times I gel upset and don’t think it’s worth all the work, but the shows make it fun.” Probably the best thing about being in majorettes are the out-of-town shows. “It’s nice to see that someone else likes us, other than the ‘hometown’ crowd,” senior Lisa Lich said. “In Butte (for State Girl’s Basketball) we got three standing ovations and I wanted to cry!” Barthelmess added “We get to show other corps how wc do things at West.” But wherever they are, performing would start the butterflies up, as Lich stated “I don’t get nervous until we’re out on the floor waiting for the music to start.” And Jennifer Ackerly, senior, com- mented that when she’s used to a show, it’s okay, but “I do get nervous when I don’t know what I’m doing.” One thing all majorettes don’t like is that they are stereotyped by a lot of people. Ackerly said “They say we’re all stuck up and we only like football players. I think they should just give everybody a chance.” Hunt agreed, saying, “They think we’re stuck up, and in all groups there will be some that are, but most of us aren’t.” Bui, for those 15 minutes out on the floor, all of theconflicts and trials meltinto the background during any performance when they get to show a fired-up audience some real class. “It gives a boost of energy and self confidence when the crowd cheers,” Barthelmess said. Hunt added “It kind of makes you feel like crying.” And Francie Tourtelot, senior, ex- claimed, “When a crowd really cheers for us, it makes EVERYTHING worth it!” FRONT ROW: Tiffani Cochran, Alison Rieke, Jami Fillerup, Shannon Hall, Alicia Zaccone, Miki Hazard, Liz McCIurg, Nancy Anderson, Kate Hogarty, Becky Baird, Deena Clark, Mary Frederick, Renessa Veltkamp, Francie Tourtelot, Kendra Neumiller, Kristal Henkel, Jennifer Ackerly, Jennifer Ostrum, Kari Vladic.

MULLING IT OVER -- Senior Kim Barone takes an interest in Mrs. Pavlish's explanation of what all is involved in the production of a yearbook during the first week of school. THOROUGH INSTRUC- TION — Advisor Eileen Pavlish gives advice on layout design which helps students to understand the important role creativity plays in producing an eye- catching layout in early September. CgGANIZATIONS v Copy, pictures, headlines and deadlines make yearbook production a real PRESSURE COOKER Extra hours after school, hard work and determination all lead into the process of creating a high school yearbook. Creativity plays an important part in developing a yearbook. To further devcl- ope the Westward's style, Lhree journal ism students were able to attend a yearbook workshop and creativity competition in San Francisco, Calif., in April. Monica Bradley, senior editor of the Westw;-: : commented, You wouldn't erce competition between c.hcr schools and cities. All the hard work and effort finally pays off when you arc able to display your work. Staff members team together to meet the deadlines Jostcns, the company who publishes the annual, sets for them. Because the Westward has a spring delivery date, the staff must start planning for the following year's publication at the end of the year. This makes for extra work for members of the staff who have to work harder to meet approaching deadlines. Junior Leslie Rimmer, assistant editor, said, With this year’s addition of Macintosh computers, it's hard to meet my own deadlines as well as typing in everyone else's copy. But I do it. Debbi Gorrell, junior, who also knows how to run the computers agrees, saying, Since this is my first year on the staff, it took a lot of extra time to learn to use the computers as well as learning to draw layouts and everything else involved with producing a good yearbook. It’s frustrating to get along with everybody when everyone is under so much pressure, Kim Barone, senior staffer said. Staff members cited various reasons for signing up for the class. Jennifer Os- trum, senior, said, It sparked my interest for showing my school spirit and it looks good on college applications. Jennifer Larsen, who handled the money for the staff, said, I wanted to be involved in something important with the school in my senior year.

Donna Kuntz, junior, said that in the chorale class “everyone gets along and helps each other out.” “Everyone shows a lot of concern about each other,” agreed Kirsten Hann, senior. “All the frustration pays off because in the end it all works out,” Hann went on. “We have to work hard to let the good voices sing out,” Nicole Riley, freshman Choralier stated.

The summer of ’88 Die Meistcrsin- gers went to Vienna to compete in a prestigious international competition. They sang for a Mass, in cathedrals and at an opera house. Sharon Boyle, senior, said she thought it was “neat” to see competition from around the world. Worthington said she felt the com- petition helped them “because we got to hear other good singers.” Competition was against other choirs around the world including many adult choirs. The students spent two weeks abroad and raised most of the money for the trip themselves. Westwinds sing contemporary types of music. It is an extra-curricular jazz choir. Westwinds perform out of school at such events as banquets, clubs, lunch- eons and organizations. Odegaard said he liked Westwinds because “we do what wc warn with the music.” “The best part of singing,” Ode- gaard said, “is gaining friendships.” DIE MEISTERSINGERS — FRONT ROW: Sharon Boyle, Erik Aslakson, Zena Stephens, Adam Jacques, Rae Ann Swan- son, Keith Simonsen, Christy Freier, Brian Clark, Audry Fade, Greg Judson, Susan Downer.

Ten-Hut-One-Two!’’This was the roar you heard given by 110 students in the marching band at the beginning of every football half-time show. The band, composed of 70 symphonic band students required to participate in it and 40 concert band students who partici- pated by choice, started its practices two weeks before school began in August and practiced every morning at 7 a.m. through the football season. They had seven per- formances. ) • ;m Majorette Jessica Wehri, senior, said, “Only three hows after five months of pn ctice was :• appointing, but it was well worth it.” Wehri practiced every morn- ing at 7:30 a.m. with the majorettes all summer long. Ole Forscth, freshmen, said about marching band, “It’s awesome! Great! Sweet! It’s good experience and good to get into!” A future goal of the marching band is to do a professional football half-time show for the Denver Broncos or the Seattle Seahawks. The pep band consists of 45 students who tried out and made the traveling pep band. These people would be the ones to play at the out-of-town tournaments, but anyone in symphonic or concert band could come and play at the home games. Kyle Betts, senior, said, “It’s a lot of fun! We can go and not ha veto worry about how we sound just as long as we’re loud.” In the past years when the football or basketball teams played a cross-town rival, both schools bands would play at the games. But this year the school board changed the policy so that only the home teams band could play. Rob Wells, instructor, said, “For foot- ball I really missed it because half the fun was seeing which band could nlay the loud- est or the fastest, but for basketball, I don’t mind.” Band members disagreed with the pol- icy also. Betts said, “It really cheated the bands out because they were the best games to play at. You couldchallengeeach otherand even play together. Those games draw the most people and I like playing for larger crowds better.” Another change was made for the pep band. The school board cut out traveling to out-of-town tournaments, unless they raised the money themselves. Wells said, “It’s a mistake. I realize that the budget is tight, but it’s something you have to live with. The pep band and the drill team work just as hard as anybody else, so they deserve it. I think they can find the money somewhere if they look hard enough, but I don’t think it will change.” “I think it hurts the team because we add spirit and encouragement for them,” said Korb. But even though the band doesn’t get to go to the tournaments out-of-town it hasn’t knocked down the number of stu- dents going and playing at the games. The turnout is usually around 76 per game. Forscth added, “It’s good for every- body elseand it’s a powerful, good sound!” PEP BAND - FRONT ROW: Ryan Korb, Jessica Wehri, G.T.

Concert band is not as easy as it may sound. After many hours of practice and preparation for concerts some students become cligibi tor symphonic band. Members of symphonic band are required to try cu Try outs are held in April. Jcaninc C: : ■ oncert freshman feels that 'Mr. Wells makes band a good experience because he can really relate to kids. Phillip Lortz, concert sophomore added that, I prefer concert band over junior high band because I feel more people get involved. You gel to do more things like perform at concerts and go on trips to concerts at various schools around Billings. Concert band students can also be in the marching band, which plays at football games, but it is not a must. Students join band for various reasons, such as parents' demands, or, as Andrea Fielder concert freshman said, I enjoy band as a whole, not because my friends are in it. I really enjoy music. Most students in concert go on to symphonic or orchestra, as band instructor Rob Wells added, ”A student either wants to practice and go places in the band department or he doesn’t. It has to be his decision, you simply cannot make a person practice what he doesn’t want to learn.” Jazz band grooved to their funky music every Monday and Wednesday during after school practice in the band room. Students are required to try out in order to be a member of the jazz band. Wells, who also instructs the jazz band, said, “This year I actually had to turn people away.” “The band is really well mannered toward each other. It’s a lot of fun to be in, not just because of the music, but because of the people that you play with. Their kind makes it so that you want to go, not just have to,” commented sophomore Keith Brush. Howard Castle, senior jazz band member stressed the fact that he loves to have fun with such a high quality group.Castle also added that, jazz band takes a lot of group dedication due to the difficulty of the music we play. G.T. Thomas, sophomore jazz member joined the group because, I had a chance and it was something to do. Twenty members strong, the jazz band preformed at school concerts, sporting events, and local civic events. BUGLE BOYS - Brian Lee, sophomore, Michael Sanderson, senior, G.T.

The criseni; - :re made up of top orchestra player vhoarc hirer! to play at these func- tioris.' The orchestra has a tour planned in March. The tour includes Belgrade, Whitehall, and Warm Springs and will last for two days. To raise money for the lour, the students sold apples, grapefruit, and oranges in the fall. They made $1,200after selling them for only 10 days. They also sold candy bars to help them raise more money. Each student was to sell $27 in profit and the orchestra then received 50 percent of the total profit. Mike Peterson, orchestra instructor, said, “The orchestra was made up of very enthusiastic people this year, with strong, positive leadership.” The symphonic band is made up of 80 students in the 9th through 12th grade. This year the band has done seven concerts. Fall, Christmas, winter, and spring concerts were given to present what the band is and what it means to the students and to show that it is more than just a bunch kids making noise at basketball games. Joel Weberg, band junior, said, “I can go to pep band and just have fun, but it’s symphonic band where we learn something we can take home wilh us. It’s very worth- while.” Rob Wells, symphonic band instruc- tor, said, “The band has definitely taken a step upward from last year.” The band was one of the two bands from Montana invited to play at a festival in Orlando, Fla., and has also been asked to a festival in Edmonton, Canada. The band hoped to attend the Edmonton festival in May. To raise money for the trip the stu- dents sold $6,000 in fruit. According to Weberg, band is also known as a “social outlet” for many stu- dents. Michael Sanderson, senior, agreed saying, “I ’ ve made by best friends by being involved with band. It’s the best activity I was in during my high school years.” Weberg added, “Band has changed a lot since my freshmen year. It’s not embar- rassing anymore. I can now say I’m proud to be in band and I feel like it’s an achieve- ment” Studentsagreed that Wells makes band great and made it what it is today.

It was Stan. , this year by Jenny Larsen to include girls in supporting the teams. ’’''We’re in it to show that girls are in- cluded too,” said Michelle Parry. “And to be supportive of your school and teams,” Niki Sherman added. Both groups have specially designed sweatshirts to show they’re in the group, with their nicknames on back. What would you call 150 teens from all over Montana coming together for a week- end camp in the mountains? And what about when they become such good friends they could tell each other anything and regretted having to leave and go back to “reality?” At West, it’s known as MTI (Montana Teen Institute). “It’s a support group for anybody that has any problems with school or what- ever,” junior Brian Witten said. During the school year, they meet once a week to talk about “peer pressure, self- esteem, suicide, and how to cope with drug and alcohol abuse,” according to junior Karla Barz. In the camp, they had workshops on these issues and discussed them, and “every day, you could feel the group get closer and closer,” Barz added. “It was like, when we left, we had 150 best friends,” Barz said. “And it’s a great way to talk about your problems,” Witten added. Another new student group is Youth Legislature. It is a “very real mock legisla- ture,” according to senior Colleen Johnson. Students from all over the state go to Helena for three days in the spring and experience a “legislative session.” “It teaches you a lot about how govern- ment is done,” said junior Mark Wagner. “When you go, you decide if you want to be a Republican or Democrat, and sit in the House or Senate,” explained junior Melissa Hollatz. Before leaving for the convention, each ‘legislator’ prepares a bill for presentation. “It’s really a lot of fun, and it looks great on a college application!” Hollatz added.

Persever- ance. Desire. Always reaching for that next rung — that last point— a faster time—a higher grade. And always striving to be the best. Everyone has his own hurdles to overcome and it takes hard work and sometimes a little bit of help. Remember how hard you worked — or how loud you screamed — to take West to its first-ever championship foot- ball game in November? Even when the Bears lost, you could hardly feel disappointed. Think how you worked to take the first place divisional trophy in girls basketball. Then, in February, the boys basketball team overcame a somewhat shaky season to fin- ish first in the division. Or how about the election, when you didn’t want either George Bush or Mike Dukakis to win. And the Olympics in Se- oul, when you did want Florence Griffith-Joyner to win! And, seniors, remember when you were the first fresh- men to enter West High? You ’ve come a Iong way, baby! It was your life. For four years everything was so impor- tant— grades, winning games, parties and going to Twirp and Prom. People and things you swore you’d never forget — you did. So look back and see your friends. Where are they now? Think of all the inside jokes and stories only you and your closest friends knew. You laughed, you cried and before you were really ready for it, it was over — but not totally forgotten. The emotion and memories and the people are wrapped up in these golden pages of your life. Your high school years may be over, but the learning, chang- ing, laughing and crying aren t. You’ve got to move on and from here it’s all up to you. The possibilities are endless, but there’ only one way to get where you want to go . . . Determination. Persever- ance. Desire. Going . . . going . . . Gold. TO ALL WEST HIGH BEARS: H MICKEY, YOU’RE SO FINE— lickey and friends entertain girls’ bas- jtball fans during the majorettes’ Christ- las show Dec. 13. A yearbook is more than printed pages, clever sayings and photographs. It is, in a very real sense, a record of memories -- the memories you hold bolh individually and in common as students of Billings West High School. It is my sincere hope as well as the hope of the staff, that those memories are pleasant ones; ones which you will cherish throughout your life. It is our hope that your days here at West High have been enjoyable as well as Tilled with learning and growth. You have received an education that will serve you well throughout your lives, and the memories within these pages will serve you in those quiet moments when you turn your thoughts back to your days spent with us. On behalf or the staff, I wish you health, happiness and success throughout your lives. Ronald L. Nistlcr Principal BILLINGS WESTHIGH SCHOOL 2301 Sf John� Avmuf Billing� .

Spending your gold Consider the spending power of West High students in Billings by Todd Oakes Consider how much money is spent by the aver age high school couple on prom: Male Tuxedo — $50 Corsage — $30 Tickets — $20 Limosine — $100 Dinner for two -- $75 Female Dress — $150 Boutonniere — $75 Hair — $40 IbteZ; $275 Tota ; $205 Now suppose that 600 people attend prom. West High students would be spending $288,000 at local businesses for prom alone. Why stop with the prom? You have lunches, dates, fun items and teen needs such as gas and tires. Add all this together and there's no wonder local mer- chants like students' business. Students are a golden opportunity for local busi- nesses. mm D D Door and Glass Automatic Entrances • Storefronts Dor-O-Matic Horton Besam Kawneer 536 Moore Lane Billings, MT 59101 (406) 252-6996 Construction P.O.
