Although Chinook had its origin with the coming of the railroad, the Utah Idaho Sugar Company erected a sugar beet factory on the eastern edge of town in 1925, which still identifies Chinook High School today. The old plant smokestack glows annually with the senior's display of pride, traditionally decorated with monograms or autographs on the refinery walls. In addition, the school's sports program bears the name, Sugarbeeters. Originally the mascot was a tiger, which explains the ever ridiculed Halloween colors, orange and black. However, when the sugar beet factory contributed money to the school for new uniforms, the natural gesture of gratitude was the memorial name adoption. As a result, it was necessary to change the school song, Hold that Tiger , but the colors stuck. Yet, if the sugar beet colors, maroon and green had been chosen, Chinook would have been the Christmas team. Since a tough team doesn't bring presents, Chinook is happier haunting opponents. Beeters At Work And Beeters At Play 6 In a rural community, most everyone works since the family farming or ranching endeavors demand such participation. However, many CHS students work in addition to that for local businesses. The groceries, cafes, and county offices employ a good number of students who are earning wages to develop a fund for college, while other students find odd jobs to provide spending money for entertainment, or funds for vehicle payments. top left- The new Chinook Motor Inn restaurant and motel, which opened this year, provided CHS students with several jobs. The Motor Inn was the only new business in town, but many of the old stand bys changed ownership bringing some new students to the school.

However, this repetition does not imply that this is a town of Catholic families. What it does imply is that Chinook is a town of relatives by marriage. The people who homesteaded in Chinook raised families here who rarely left the area. Consequently, a popular warning circulates the city: don't gossip, because you never know if you're talking to the relatives of the victim. Left: Vanessa McCartney hides behind her Naked Ape .

The sophomores were ready to Cleat the Coyotes. The junior class had Foxy Guys and Sexy Chicks who make up the class of � o. and the senior class was ready to KSA that’s. Keep Seniors Alive. The introduction of the royalty was exciting moment The king and queen candidates were dressed in flattering formal wear, and by vote of the girl’s basketball team and the boy’s football team, Loren Skoyen and Karla Malsam were crowned At the parade it was very windy and cold, making things difficult for most of the floats to remain in one piece. Through it all the juniors captured 3rd. the frosh got 2nd, and the seniors received 1st. That evening, the Bonfire snake dance created fun, but all this spirit had to be bottled for the game On Saturday, temperatures fell to 24 degrees but. fans were ready to see some Beeter action, and were trying to figure the math needed to get the Beeters two points ahead with a minute and six seconds left While most were saying it was impossible. Willie Pyette flipped a pass to Jamie Neibauer under a heavy blitx and the big fullback rumbled ft5 yards for the score. Later. Kelly Tilleman caught a pass to cut the lead to 29-22. An onside kick try didn’t work-about the way everything seemed to go for the Beeters in the second half and Shelby earned the league title On display at top is the sophomores float that got blown away before the parade. King Loren Skoyen and Queen Karla Malsam are shown above while being driven around the football field during half-time of the football game.

The candidates for king and queen, at right, are Loren Skoyen, Michelle Schellin, Willie Pyette, Melissa Gruszie, Tim Blatter, Cheryl Preeshyl, Kelly Tilleman, Kim Peterson, Vince Gruszie, and Karla Malsam. In past years there had been much chaos during carnival time, so this year student council created a new method for the fund raising competition. Each class was limited to two fund raisers to be completed in a designated week, making the challenge to win much greater. Of course all had the opportunity to sell the carnival raffle tickets which featured prizes by local merchants. After the gala event with clowns, a night show performance featured Loren Skoyen and Jason Pyette as flasher emcees, the guitar class, Hi-liners, drill team, and class skits, the winners were announced. Juniors took first with the sophomores at a close second, while the freshman and the seniors brought up the rear. top- Carnival King and Queen candidates Eloise Solem and Ray Leo, Freshman; Tammy Moxley and Dwain Tilleman, Sophomores; Colleen Campbell and Bob Cross, Juniors; and Mari Anne Ryan and Kurt Hepler, Seniors, middle left- and the winners are Bob Cross and Colleen Campbell.

No class realizes how much work the prom is until they have finished. A theme has to be picked, decorations ordered, and volunteers. It took the class of 86 a couple of weeks to decide, on ALMOST PARADISE as a theme. Green, pink, yellow, and orange were chosen as the colors to accent the theme. These colors gave the gym a certain brightness. The traditional freshmen, punch and food servers were Maureen Schlageck, Leann Standiford, Laura Rasmussen, Eloise Solem, Kathie Gruszie, and Chandra Zarn. The junior class provided grass skirts for them to wear, since they added to the paradise theme. The first band selected cancelled out. Fortunately it was early enough to choose another, Border Line, who agreed to sing the theme song, Almost Paradise. Arrangements were made for senior Karen Chapman to sing the theme with the band. The movie selected for the evening was Red Dawn. After the movie ham, eggs, fresh fruit, cinnamon rolls and juice were served. The mothers of the junior class prepared and served this breakfast. The 1985 junior-senior prom was well organized and enjoyed by everyone who went. The fashionable dresses were off the shoulder with hoops. The guys chose predominantly silver tuxedos with shirts to match their date's dress. Chapter One Features If you happened to be at the annual Halloween Dance, you would have met everyone from Boy George to a couple from Hawaii (grass skirts and lei's included!). If you happened to be at the annual Homecoming Dance, you would have seen a bunch of down-to-earth high school kids rockin' out and generally having a good time. Welcome to a Chinook High School dance! There's a slight charge at the door, but it is a small price to pay for your evening. Whether you bopped to records spun by DJ's or whether you boogied to the beat of our dance band, you were guaranteed a great time. The Sophomore-sponsored Snoball Dance, Sadie Hawkins style, was the major semi-formal dance of the year. There, the classy traits showed up in those same CHS students you met earlier. The guys donned their dress slacks and ties to go to this one, and the girls got dressed in their party dresses. There were no doubts that your experience at a CHS dance would be a good one: one to look forward to before, and one to remember with a smile after it was over. Just remember this: A dance is a dance, but when you dance with a CHS student, you boogie. So what are you waiting for? Let's boogie!!! 16 THIS PAGE, top- Wendy Pyette and Tristy McDonald take advantage of the role playing the Halloween dance offered, left- Lisa Shockley and Joel Pruttis dance in the hall to the beat of their hearts. (Wait until their real dates find out!) CHS students enjoyed the occasional slow music at dances for the opportunity to get close, but preferred the fast pace offered by the music or artists such as Michael Jackson. OPPOSITE PAGE: left-Superintendant Pete Scott waltzes with his wife at a junior high school dance, right-Our favorite dancers were our own Sugar-ettes. The drill team performed routines to popular tunes, and enjoyed themselves. Cheryl Preeshl and Heather MacLean giggle during practice. The year was 1984-85, the place was Chinook High School, and the colors were basically basic! White, black, and grey were the most popular colors, and they were often teamed up with another or accented with a color such as red, beige, pink, or teal. Parachute pants were popular in every color. Not a day passed when someone wasn't wearing a pair. Black was the most popular color here, but red and grey were also evident occasionally. Even shoes saw a little bit of charge. Although cowboy boots and tennis shoes were still quite prominent, penny loafers once again began to appear for both guys and gals! There was also quaint design. In addition, fashionboots were vogue. They ranged from over-the-knee in height to ankle height, and everywhere in between. To top it all off, hats even appeared. Although worn usually for dressy occasions, nats were also donned for less formal occasions. CHS students were covered from head to toe in fashion this year. Every student hit the best-dressed list at least once. In the years to come, of vogue high school days, many memories shall certainly be found when looking into closets. 18 This Page: top left- Vanessa McCartney fascinated her peers with vogue wardrobe Here she is in pin-striped peddle pushers, bobbie socks and a long tunic Middle- Faded levis and t-shirts were still comfortable apparel, but Kelly Tilleman s velcro closure tennis shoes were a new popular item Top right- Susette Schellin s outfit of teal and raspberry radiated the colors that attracted many students.

Sweet auditorium. Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Walter Mondale, and Geraldine Ferraro were represented by members of Penny Lind's American History and U.S. Government classes. Representing the views of the 1984 Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates were Juniors Vivian Prid-geon and Beth Ortner as Ronald Reagan and George Bush, respectively, and as Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro were Seniors Willie Pyette and Bonnie Ortner. These students put in many long hours of detailed research. They were assisted by other members of their classes in obtaining the necessary information so that they could present knowledgeable views at the debate. Each student gave a five minute introductory speech which he had prepared prior to the debate. Then each candidate had the opportunity to rebut his opponent's speech. The foursome then answered questions pertaining to the nuclear arms race, composed by both the audience and by the moderator, Greg Jergeson, Blaine County Democrat. Who won the debate? According to Penny Lind, All four students were winners! 20 THIS PAGE: right-Siniling. Mrs. Lind shows her pleasure with the debate.

Among the most popular were HELIX- Walkin the Razors Edge. MOTLEY CRUE-Shout at the Devil . OZZY OSBORN- Bark at the Moon , TWISTED SISTER- Stay Hungry , and VAN HALEN- 1984 . There were also the regular good ole Rock-N-Roll Bands. Among these bands were THE CARS- Heartbeat City, DURAN DURAN-The Reflex . HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS- Sports . CHICAGO- 17 , and .38 SPECIAL. Country Western bands were also listened to such as Alabama, The Oak Ridge Boys, Kenny Rogers, and Sylvia. While students indulged primarily in music as a pasttime, movies also stood out as splendid entertainment. The most enjoyed fell under four categories; Adventure. Musical, Dramatic, and Comedy. Two movies that fell into the first category were Red Dawn and Indiana Jones. Footloose and Purple Rain were very popular musicals. while All the Right Moves, and The Karate Kid were listed under dramatic movies. The comedy movie Ghost Busters was enjoyed by everyone. Although many students’ opinions vary on the type of music they listened to. and the movies they enjoyed seeing, they all have good taste. 22 From the creators of Fast Times at Ridgemont High -something even faster It's casual.

Consequently, they often spent their after school and weekend hours dedicated to the sports and clubs which gave them the chance to show off their talent. Frequently, after hours meant cramming for crucial exams, polish-ing a composition, adding finishing touches to a Vo-Ag project, practicing an instrumental or vocal piece, experimenting with new home economics or science lab techniques, reviewing math or business formulas, or shading a drawing. At 3:10 on Fridays teachers and students both uttered a silent T.G.I.F. thrilled about the opportunity to escape one another for a couple days. However, weekends often did not imply a separation Although school received a majority of their attention, students still found time for frolic. After hours also took the shape of dates, hobbies, and many other activities. The hot spots to take a date were movies. Pizza Hut, MacDonalds, or cruising; while listening to music, making music, watching T V., or just being together were enjoyed. On the other hand, hunting, exercising, and 4-H captured students' attention as favorite past times. Certainly students' mental and physical abilities were well exercised. The time school activities demanded did not bother CHSers, since high school is the main topic in High School Days. They just featured a livelier cast for the lime light to shine on. 24 THIS PAGE.

The challenges the seniors had to face included deciding what college to go to, taking the ACT tests, and getting their senior pictures taken and exchanged for the last time. However, when it came time to make a decision about graduation, the class started off slowly by changing their class colors three times finally to settle on lavendar and white. Academically, the class showed their leadership by having the highest enrollment in senior matn in Chinook's history with a number of 23 students, while approximately 60% were on the honor roll. This class was famous for their many pranks. For example, when the class of 83 spent their traditional night sleeping on the school lawn, they were hit with a surprise attack. A pickup equipped with a tank and sprayer run by these senior boys as sophomores, succeeded in a rolicking victory by soaking their opponents, whose only offensive measure was egg throwing. Certainly this class will be remembered. THIS PACE: LEFT- Rob Haworth challenged J.D. Pike to a game of chess. Many students competed for the champion's reign.

J-U-N-I-O-R-S, juniors are the very best!” shouted the 28 girls and 17 boys of the junior class at pep assemblies to exert their zest and excitement. They expressed this same cooperative enthusiasm, with their enjoyment of doing things together and supporting each other. In addition, they were academically active and very aggressive when it came to homework. About forty-three percent of the junior class received honor passes. The class was also vigorous in school activities, with forty-seven percent of the girls involved in one or more of the schools clubs or sports, while the boys had a fifty-three percent participation. Class meetings were filled with much planning and thinking for future events such as prom and carnival. Many decisions needed to be made, but the class functioned well together, making their school year a thrill.

The girls were commended for their initiative by the selection committee, which also recognized Roxanne Tilleman and Sonia Sharpies as leaders. In addition, after cutting out 100 snow flakes, they held the Sno-Ball, a semi-formal, Sadie Hawkins dance, which allowed the girls to pick their dates for the evening. The girls enjoyed this role turn-about. This class not only played hard, but also worked hard. The class boasted a large percentage of students with high academic performance. There were also many involved in extra-cirricular activities that devoted their efforts with sincerity. Enjoying the time to relax, Roxanne Tilleman recovers from a severe sprain, which occured during warmups of the Browning basketball game.

While Darryl looks intent on catching the action, Scott gazes at cheerleaders, and other fans. Either out of a love for fun or simple villainy, the freshman class featured gremlins with their imaginations set of P-R-A-N-K. Lockers were their favorite spots to hit. Their ammunition was anything from athletic tape and anonymous notes to stacked books. In addition, only twenty percent of them managed to earn honor roll status. Playing was their style, which was also obvious by their interest primarily in sports as an extracurricular activity. The freshman were certainly initiated at every pep assembly, where their enthusiasm was booed. Furthermore, since they had no wheels, they had to walk for transportation, and even in the rain they treked to social activities, gaining no sympathy from the upperclassmen who would drive by, honk, and wave. Certainly their just for fun attitude wore off a little after the first quarter grades came out, yet it still smiled.

Acquiring And Developing Arts Art classes started out the school year with a new teacher, Ms. Dixie Anderson, and some interesting ideas. The enrollment was small-but nice, said Ms. Anderson, although she would like larger classes next year. Ms. Anderson taught two art classes, beginning art and painting. In her teaching, Ms. Anderson began with the basics then expanded. Beginning art classes concentrated on drawing, so that students learned how to shade, contour, and use charcoals. They also worked with two dimensional drawings, gesture drawing, pen and ink, and acrylic painting. Meanwhile, the painting class involved themselves in many interesting assignments such as painting with acrylics and watercolors. They worked on enlarged portraits, still-life paintings and painting on the shoes they wear. The art classes had an Art Show May 23 which exposed the developing talents of the students. Ms. Anderson said there was a great deal of talent and dedication in her students. She also has a very high standard which her students live up to. Art students get very little recognition for the tremendous talent and ambition they have. Hopefully next year there will be move involvement and another active art club, Ms. Anderson commented. Whether it be drawing or cooking a certain degree of creative ability is a must. While art classes were looking for greater enrollment figures, so was the Home Ec. program. Scheduling conflicts prevented many students from exercising their talents in the two elective areas. However, Karen Covert's Home Economic classes did feature a variety of practical skills to be utilized in the home by students who chose the curriculum. For example Marriage and Family developed communication, and cooperation skills, budget planning, child care, and other marriage survival tips. The class welcomed speakers who added to their learning of marriage and the raising of a family. In clothing class, students learned to mend their own clothing, as well as, create fashionable out fits, or construct Frost line Kits. Students also polished skills on how to care for their clothing, and now to coordinate a ward robe. Basic and advanced foods classes offered the simple tasks of cooking for many different puposes, which included providing refreshments for entertainment programs. They also built their knowledge of the names and methods for cooking foreign foods, such as how to prepare bok choy in a wok in Chinese cooking. Bachelor's survival students learned basic skills on stain removal, cooking for one, how to choose an appropriate rental apartment, and proper ironing techniques.

Coordination And Creativity At the beginning of the school year physical education (P.E.) classes were co-ed ucational, but after the first eight weeks of volleyball, soccer and football the girls went to health, while the boys remained in P.E. In their four weeks of health, the girls learned about many communicable diseases, as well as about alcoholism awareness. Then they rotated back to P.E. so the boys could have the same training in health class. The P.E. classes found students engaged in badminton competition. When the championship matches were played, honors were bestowed on Debi Matthews. Sheryl Anderson, Todd Malsam, and Dwain Tilleman, as sophomore champs, while Dean Snow, Brad Peterson, Stacey Shockley and Maureen Schlageck took the top ranks in the freshman class. Another P.E. activity enjoyed by students was bowling. The Eagles Club offered their facility to the school, so students were able to polish their skills. When the rotation sent the girls back to health again, they learned about the care and development of a child. A panel of five local mothers, who brought their babies, provided answers to the girls' numerous questions. The sophomores were glad to have P.E. and health behind them, even though it was a fun class. Now they can concentrate on their academic pursuits. While P.E. classes were learning skills in coordination and Health classes were studying the body, students in shop operated machines, and developed their creative ability. There were several classes of Vocational Agriculture; one for each grade level, so there was Vo-AG 1, 2, 3, and 4. According to instructor, Royce Beardsley these were basic survival classes. The education in these classes varied from animal and plant sciences, to the different materials in soils. Record keeping, mechanics, and welding were also covered. Although students could take welding as a separate class, it was included during Vo-Ag class, where they learned the basics. In welding, the students found a project to do for themselves, or for an individual in the community who needed things made, but couldn't make them. For example, round bale feeders were constructed for Art Tilleman, Jr. Meanwhile, Ag-Construction consisted of taking the skills learned previously, to build things from wood, metal or both. As special projects students are allowed to do anything they have the talent or desire to do. This allowed fixing up cars to making cedar chests. Cody Powell constructed a cedar bed and headboard admired by many. Certainly, anyone who takes these classes benefits greatly for he can use the skills he has learned for the rest of his life. Furthermore, the skills learned in these classes are very helpful in our community. 44 THIS PAGE: top left- Melissa Baird and Jenny Haldemann listen intentely during a lecture in Health Class, top right- Working at FFA's Carnival Bingo booth are Dirk Drugge and Nick Young, bottom left- Jenny Haldemann stopped to give the camera a smile while she was working hard in shop class, middle right- Terry Roemmich is putting his coveralls away after shop class.

Technology Finds Place In English Technology is booming in such a way that science is becoming a major part of high school classes. Here at CHS several classes are offered. For example, the physical science taught by Gail Swant the freshman have done such labs as making soup, mayonnaise, and toothpaste. They also examined hot dogs and aspirin. Chemistry I deals with elements, compounds and solutions. Students perform several labs, where they study crystalization, gases present in the air and many other chemical reactions. Chemistry works a lot with the elements found in the study of science. Meanwhile, waves, heat and light are subjects dealt with in Physics. The students perform labs studying these things and do many calculations. Mr. Olsen's biology classes study plants and animals, where a broad view of everything involved in this study of science is confronted. Conversely, advanced biology hits more specific areas. Science is a major part of many careers. If students are planning on majoring in a science related area CHS offers some good classes. Even English classes incorporated the newest in technological advances with video cassettes and computer software. English classes were, very busy this year. Teachers. Donna Miller for seniors and sophomores, and Rick Berrett for juniors and freshmen, both taught a variety of material. In addition to the routine grammar, students read many novels. Freshmen analyzed All's Quiet on the Western Front, and Shane (to name a few). Sophomores read To Kill a Mockingbird and were introduced to George Orwell in Animal Farm. Some of the junior's readings included The Crucible, The Grapes of Wrath, and the ever-popular George Orwell novel, 1984. Seniors rounded out their last year with Wuthering Heights and Brave New World. Miller and Berret used videos of books as teaching aids, and coordinated novels with time periods taught in history. The freshmen also were introduced to research paper writing, an art that the juniors had mastered after writing papers on ergotism, McCarthyism, and one of their choice. Seniors did a paper for both Government and English classes, while Sophomores did a writing project to develop sensory and descriptive writing skills, which involved evaluating an apple to discover that is unique. However, all these activities are only the tip of the iceberg that the Enlgish classes were kept busy with all year. 46 THIS PAGE: top- Julienne Gauthier intently reads her Biology text in preparation tor lab work, middle left Many students worked as teacher's aides, and Lezlie Drugge assisted in Mrs. Miller's English classes, middle right- Todd Wornick, Curt Hebbleman, Dick Sargent, Connie Reed, and Erin Ramberg construct periodic tables as part of a unit on the elements.

Stuker teaches the pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, and consumer math classes, while Monson teaches the advanced math classes, junior and senior math. In his classes Stuker requires the completion of three projects. These projects may be anything from a geometric string art picture to an illustrated problem demonstrating how much grain a bin will hold. Then, the stock market and its functions certainly make a graph appropriate for mathematical study. Computers are also becoming an integral part of the math curriculum. The computer allows students to drill themselves on areas of difficulty. Programs available to students include the factoring of polynomials, word problems, circular functions, and graphing. Furthermore, students are often rewarded for completed work with priveleges to play video games on the computer. While math classes were working with figures another related curriculum, business also developed calculation abilities. In an attempt to keep up with the trends in business, students were taught how to work with various office machines, how to keep books and how to perform many secretarial duties. Numerous classes were offered in these areas. Typing class taught sophomore students keyboard skills, valuable for application in typing term papers, or computer class. In recordkeeping, students learned how to keep personal records for future life, while Shorthand I attracted only a small number willing to acquire the tough skill of writing in shorthand. Furthermore, Accounting educated students on the transactions that occur in a business. Computer accounting was available to students who had their basic accounting class. This class put everything that students learned in accounting on the computer. Clerical Office Practice concentrated on how to use copy machines, type for a business, use a computer, and type from a dictaphone. Secretarial Office Practice was offered to students after they had taken Clerical. This advanced student's skills in the secretarial field. Perhaps CHS students will take their numerical skills and apply them for successful careers. 48 OPPOSITE PAGE: top- Rob Gibson, Todd Woronik and Melissa Davidson seem entertained by Mr. Stuker's instruction, middle- Tammy Bergman and Gretchen Anderson find time for visiting in study hall after their algebra homework is completed, bottom- Feeling quite capable while computing on the Apple.

The presidential debate, mentioned in the feature section, p. 20, helped very much in the student's understanding of the pressures the president and his running mate go through at election time. Another activity pertaining to these classes was the sitting in on house bill hearings while in Helena, juniors and Seniors also toured the museum and capital building to top off that fieldtrip. In the freshmen geography class, many interesting activities had taken place in Mrs. Lind's previous years. For example, the preparation of food that was the main meal of the country they happened to be studying, such as Chinese food when studying Asia, but now these activities have been abandoned because of lack of funding. Since then Mrs. Lind has made the academic portion of the class much more interesting to take the place of the earlier activities. For example, the class learned who all the primary leaders of Russia are and what they do in their positions. By coincidence, or some other unknown reason, the current leader passed away just after the course about the Soviet leaders. So students put together their knowledge and made a guess on who the next leader would be and were found to be correct on their assumption. Another activity that concerned Russia was the Seniors' writing letters to a communist community telling them about our culture and environment by sending cassette tapes of our music and telling them of our activities such as rodeos and dances. Certainly all of the activities including American and Russian study can only be for the better of our youth who can put this knowledge to use in the improvement of our country in the future. Foreign lands were not only studied in history and government classes, but also in Spanish courses. This year's Spanish class taught by Mrs. Fitzpatrick, had an enrollment of 24 students, many of whom belong to Spanish Club also. The students progressed at a rapid rate because of their high level of attainment. Therefore, not much time had been spent on any one section, except for the chapter on stem changing verbs, a major part of the Spanish language that must be understood to continue the course. One method that aided in understanding this foreign language was playing games of Scrabble only in Spanish. In most classes teachers can't spend a lot of time with any one specific student, but there was an exception in the advanced Spanish class since there were only two students. Mrs. Fitzpatrick took advantage of the small numbers and used it to help these students much more thoroughly in the evaluation of the language. Certainly with Spanish being the major language U e world, and our native English second, a person could g much farther in life with the understanding of both.

However, the increased demand of time and dedication on potential members kept the club from reaching its aspirations. Inspite of the business artists had to contend with, Julienne Gauthier and Sue Sterrett took the time to demonstrate their talent. Julienne Gauthier. Nick Ramberg, Sue Sterrett, Speed Bendo, Don Blatt, Leah Noel, Dixie Anderson, sponsor. Artists Too Busy To Meet 11 Display Talent Eleven new members, two seniors and nine juniors, were inducted into the Chinook Chapter of National Honor Society in 1985. As initiation, many talents were displayed at the annual banquet. Senior, Mari Anne Ryan showed how to load a 35mm camera, and take a picture. Loren Skoyen, also a senior, demonstrated how to begin a race from starting blocks. On the other hand, junior. Bob Cross gave a talk on the history of wrestling, while Krista Scott played a piano solo, Sonatine, and Thomas Tilleman played the Pink Panther. More music was provided when Melisa Drugge and Vivian Pridgeon played a piano duet, Circus Music Suite, and Steve Swank performed an organ medley. Then, Shelly MacKenzie and Colleen Campbell demonstrated and aerobics routine. Finally, Beth Ortner and Colleen Campbell sang a duet. Great Creator. Officers elected for the 1985-86 school year were Beth Ortner: president, Melisa Drugge: vice-president, Krista Scott: secretary, and Vivian Pridgeon: historian. 1984-85 NHS Members: back row- adviser: Ellen Svendson, Jason Pyette, historian; Michele Schellin, president; Amanda Higgins, vice-president; Tom MacLean, Randy Scott, front row- Willie Pyette, Cheryl Preeshl, Susette Schellin, Melissa Gruszie, Bonnie Ortner. not pictured-secretary; Karen Chapman. Organize 1 Club The Student Council worked extremely hard to establish good school government practices, and made decisions with improvement in mind. They even sent delegates to conventions so that new ideas could be learned and applied here. In addition to gaining and using parliamentary procedure knowledge, the group organized the Number One Club, which recognized students, teachers and people of the community who had done a lot of behind-the-scenes work but were never complimented for it. top left- Roxanne Tilleman listens carefully to the school board's intended ruts for next year since the mill levy failed.

Overall they took two thirds; Big Sandy and Malta, four second places; Chinook, Fort Benton, Great Falls, and Cut Bank, and three first place trophies at Geraldine and Centerville. They finished the year with a fourth at divisionals, and at state. Individually, the team performed well, also. Kathy Anderson, freshman, was the only speech member of the team. In Oral Interpretation, she received two Sth's, a 7th, and lost to a tie breaker in Malta. Sophomore Carla Bilger did an increasingly better job this year in pantomime. She received three 5th places, two 4th, and one 3rd, 2nd, and 1st. Stacey Pyette, also a sophomore, got a late start in the season. Her first meet was Great Falls where Wendy Pyette and she lost out to semi-finals by one point in Humorous Duo. When Wendy had to quit the team, Stacey tried a Serious Solo. With Antigone, Stacey took 7th, then missed two finals by one point. Melissa Baird, another sophomore, stayed in the same serious solo all year, The Glass Menagerie got Melissa two 6th places, three 4th's, three 3rd's, and several times missed finals or semi-finals by 1 point. Juniors, Starla Cox and Debra Gist started out in a Humorous Duo titled, A Pair of Lunatics . They then changed to a cutting titled, A Late Date and twice missed finals by 1 point. Two more juniors, Mary Duke and Arliss Maxwell also did very well this year in their Serious Duo, Good-bye Miss Lizzie Borden . The duo stayed in the top six all season, and received second place recognition twice. Senior, Don Blatt had a great year with his serious solo, Does a Tiger Wear a Necktie . With it he usually maintained a top three status, and went on to capture 3rd at State. Bonnie Ortner, also a senior had a beautiful year. She stayed in the top 3 places all year with her Humorous Solo Crime in Rhyme , but missed finals by one point at state due to laryngitis. Finally, Senior Jason Pyette had the best year anyone could expect with his humorous solo, The U.F.O. Menace . Jason took 1st place at every meet and captured 1st at divisionals and state. As a whole, the Speech and Drama team did excellent this year, gained mucn needed experience, and are ready to knock 'em dead next year! top row- Dixie Anderson, head coach; Ruby Skoyen, assistant coach; Don Blatt, Heather MacLean, Carla Bilger, Andy Sokolowski, Starla Cox, and Brenda Bosch, middle- Debra Gist, Melinda Taylor, Kathy Anderson, Lori Duke, Mary Duke, and Arliss Maxwell, front- Melissa Baird, historian; Leah Noel.

Picture a cast of 12 women. Now, put one man in the middle of them all and what do you have? You have the complete cast of Thanks Awfully! a one-act comedy by Jean Latham. Cast members were Jason Pyette, the sole man of the cast, as Dick Montaque, a famed artist who also happens to be a woman hater; Melissa Baird as Dorothy Montaque, Dick's sister; Carla Bilger as Marion Gatewood, the girl with whom Dick had once fallen in love; Jolynn Briere as Ann Marsh, who schemes for another confrontation between Dick and Marion; Beth Ortner as Carol Barton, a brusque, athletic girl; Debbie Gist as Edith Crane, a girl born to talk, and fulfilling her mission; Bonnie Ortner as Mrs. Dodd, a martial, bossy soul, a regular manager of other people's affairs; Kathy Anderson as Mrs. Smyth, an extremely cultured English woman who is interested only in bridge; Karen Chapman as Nanette Carrington, a dingy romantic who deeply loves Dick's paintings; Kathy Anderson, re-appearing as Mrs. Hemingway, a motherly sort of woman who has known Dick when he was just so high! ; Wendy Pyette portrayed Mrs. James-Gower, who possesses a sharp tongue and a good deal of spite; Stacey Pyette was Carolyn Barton, a younger girl with a huge wad of gum, a slight lisp, and very little common sense; and Mary Duke as Jane Van Sickle, a brainy lady with a promising future. The main plot of the story centers around Dick and a bet with his sister that he can make it through her bridge party without saying anything but. Thanks awfully! the entire evening. Needless to say, the result was extremely comical. The other play performed by CHS students sported a cast of eight. Characters in Le Roma Greth's Aunt Miranda's Will were portrayed by Don Blatt, Starla Cox, Travis Tilleman, Bonnie Ortner, Carla Bilger, Melissa Baird, Mary Duke, and Kathy Anderson. Aunt Miranda s Will centered around Gene El wood, a young boy who just has to be a doctor but needs financial assistance from his Aunt Miranda to afford medical school. Through a telegram announcing a visit from Aunt Miranda, her relatives discover that she hates males-she would never leave her money to one! With the help of his friends. Gene becomes Jean and a hilarious chain of events follows.

Staff Struggles Breeze 85 staff members received a crash course in journalism as adviser, Donna Miller required a new format for the yearbook under the assumption that ten years from now students will need the stories to help explain the pictures and stimulate the memory. Since the staff was small, the work load was monstrous. In spite of that obstacle, the staff met all deadlines on time this year, and hope to enter their publication efforts in journalism competition. The staff regreted not having the opportunity to participate in competitions during the school year, and not attending conventions, but the demands on their time prohibited such interaction. However, nine girls, editor, MariAnne Ryan; assistant editor, Krista Scott; chief photographer, Bonnie Ortner; news editor, Beth Ortner; Advertising manager, Michele Schellin; secretary, Melisa Drugge; and junior staffers. Shelly MacKenzie, Shelly Leo, and Pat Schlageck were honored on awards day for their service and excellence in publications by induction into Quill and Scroll, an international honorary society for high school journalists. The staff made an honest effort to picture each CHS student at least twice, and to provide balanced coverage. As a result, they all hope you enjoy your 1985 yearbook, a limited; therefore cherishable, edition.

Decision Making Crucial Members learn about such things as recordkeeping, care and breeding of animals, and all about soil sampling for crop yield estimates. In addition, they have projects like developing a herd of cattle or sheep. The group attends various agricultural competitions throughout the year. They attended a livestock judging competition in Bozeman, where Sandy Anderson captured the fourth place for her skills. Then the group participated in the Nile event, which is like a fair without the rides. The event features livestock and machinery exhibits among the many exhibits displayed by promoters. The highlight of the judging field trips was the state convention in Great Falls. Dennis Mitchell, Nick Ramberg, Sandy Anderson, Dan Graham, and Terry Roemmich talked and met with the others from around the state, and competed to earn places at the National Convention. Even though a CHS FFA member won't be attending the National Convention this year, they usually send a member to a leadership conference in Washington D.C. Last year Nick Young earned the recognition to attend. Advisor, Royce Beardsley values the skills offered in parliamentary procedure and emphasized them for FFA members. Other activities the group engaged in included an entry for the Homecoming parade of an ancient tractor they got running. Also, they raffled off a limited edition. National Finals Rodeo belt buckle. The buckle is valued at $450, since it is constructed of sterling silver and gold. Dave Dawson won the buckle, which was given away on Carnival night. Certainly, everyone in FFA after graduation can start a career in farming. Future Farmers of America, FFA, is an inner curricular activity. This means that everything learned in club activities is used in shop class, or on the farm. Mexico Or Bust! The Spanish Club of 1984-85 got in gear early in the year by planning a trip to Mexico for nine of its eleven members. Junior, Krista Scott, Seniors, Melissa Grus-zie, Cheryl Preeshl, Wendy Pyette, Bonnie Ortner, Michelle Schellin, Mimi Gibson, Shami Block, and Kim Peterson, and their sponsor, Annette Fritzpatrick all contributed a lot of time, energy, and effort into raising the $6,000 needed for the trip. They were assisted by other Spanish Club members, Laura Rasmussen and Eloise Solem. A lot of support was received from the community. Fundraisers throughout the year included bake sales, raffles, breakfasts, dances, a car wash, and spring cleaning for people around town. The Club also sold concessions at numerous Jr. High basketball games and girl's volleyball matches. Another money-maker sponsored by the Spanish Club was the raffle of four pinatas at Carnival. The pinatas were made and decorated in the traditional Mexican style by the members of the Club. top left: Krista Scott looks on while Wendy Pyette and Melissa Gruszie discuss the joys of pinata making, top right: Michelle Schellin became an expert popcorn maker at various fundraisers throughout the year, such as this basketball game, bottom left: Cheryl Preeshl transports the pinatas from the carnival booth to the night show - carefully. 63 lop right-back row: Tim Blatter.

They started the year with sixteen members but added two new students to their list in early March. Members include Dana Finley, Debbie Anderson, Melissa Baird, Ed Looby, Marla Anderson, Mel Smith, Tammy Moxley, Deanna Statelen, Heather Dawson, Tom MacLean, Bonnie Ortner, and Shar-mon Miller. Not pictured are Kris Scott, Karen Chapman, Sandy Charney, Michelle Charney, Laura Bucklin, and Kristine Stempke. Despite its few people and many scheduling conflicts, the band played for most of the home football games, girls' and boys' basketball games, and wrestling matches throughout the year. They could not attend boys' basketball tournaments due to loss of people to basketball and volleyball. One band member, senior Bonnie Ortner, was accepted for All-State Orchestra as a percussionist. Seven members were selected for Honor Band. They were the following: Stempke, Smith, Scott, MacLean, Miller, Dawson, and Ortner. In its second year the Dance Band also had scheduling difficulties and only managed three dances for the year. The members included the concert band members minus three underclassmen. They also played some tunes during the carnival. One other event planned for both the concert band and the dance band in the spring was festival. b6 Facing page: Performing at a basketball game, Bonnie Ortner plays the bass guitar.

Dancers Highlight Halftime The Sugarettes started the year off well with 15 members, seven of which were old members. The drill team performed two different routines, one to Ghostbusters and one with the High School band to a Strike Force piece combining a Hot Lunch Jam.' At Carnival, Colleen Campbell, Shelly MacKenzie, Heather MacLean, and Shelly Leo performed during the Night Show. They danced to 'The Heat Is On. The girls put in many long hours, along with Mrs. Gail Compton, their coach. Also, the officers Bonnie Ortner, Captain; Colleen Campbell, Co-Captain, and Cheryl Preeshl, Secretary, put in extra time making sure everything went smoothly. A coal of the Sugarettes was to co to Competition where drill teams do their routines and are judged for awards. Going to competition couldn't be worked out because the girls didn't feel they were ready, but it is an important goal of theirs for next year. THIS PAGE: top right- Cheryl Preeshl.

By insisting upon attendance at noon meetings the nearly defunct club was soon actively promoting school spirit. Busy pep clubbers could be seen enthusiastically painting signs in the halls or leading cheers in a crowd. Other projects the pep club took on included encouraging riders for pep buses to attend away games, and decorating lockers to build confidence in players, as well as wish them luck. The pep club also found volunteers to play the Beeter mascot, who performed at basketball games to boost crowd enthisiasm. Richard Owens often took the job during regular season play, while Stacey Shockley and Gretchen Anderson dressed up for the tournament games. Pep club boosted school spirit tremendously this year thanks to senior president, Cheryl Preeshl and junior officers; vice-president, Melisa Jo Drugge and secretary, Shelly Mackenzie.

Vet, they also knew they were in for a good fight for a conference title. To prove their ability to endure hardship, the boys ate dog biscuits. The offense proved to be very powerful and the Beeters' defense stingy, keeping their average opponent s score at or below 15 points so that they only lost two conference games, for a 5-2 record. As the season went by, it was obvious that the Beeters' homecoming game against Shelby would decide their fate. If Chinook had won the game by two or more points, they would have gone to the playoffs. The coaching staff helped six players on to first team all conference honors. Willie Pyette headed the list by earning the first team offensive quarterback spot, and a defensive position. Other Beeters to gain positions were Travis Tilleman, offensive tackle (1st team) and defensive line (2nd team); Kelly Tilleman, running back slot (1st team), linebacker (2nd team); Jamie Neibauer, defensive line spot (1st team); Tim Blatter, linebacker position (1st team) and tackle (honorable mention); Kurt Hepler, defensive end slot (2nd team); Randy, defensive back spot (2nd team), and Loren Skoyen. split end, (honorable mention). Furthermore, Vince Gruszie, a first year starter, did well as guard and defensive end. and J.D. Pike, at center did a fine job even after suffering a shoulder injury. Certainly, player, coaches and fans contributed greatly to this superior season. 75 THIS PAGE: Brad Friede hustles to gain yardage, (left) Undivided attention is vital in any sport, and Randy Scott waits for action, (middle) Kelly Tilleman rushes away from Havre's defense with Bobby Cross bringing up the rear.

Pat O'Brien replaced the coach the senior players had taken three years to get used to. However, they overcame that obstacle, and even seemed motivated by it, since their performance almost gained them a seeding in the state tournament. CHS fans celebrated their team's accomplishments with a pep assembly unmatched by any one rally in the past three years. The intensity of the enthusiasm was obvious in the spirit wars, and the domino effect of the crowd wave . With this confidence, CHS sent their team to Shelby, where their first win was grabbed from the Cut Bank Wolves. The Beeters' next game was a tough one against cross county rivals, the Harlem Wildcats. This win meant the Beeters were in the District championship for the first time in many years. Unfortunately they did lose to Malta; however, this still gave the Beeters a good seeding in the Divisional tournament at Cut Bank. In their first game the Beeters barely pulled away from Choteau. In thier next match-up against Shelby, the Beeters won again which meant one more chance to defeat Matla. They played a hard-fought game, but they came up short with a 48-44 loss. This loss to Malta gave Fairfield, the third place team a chance to challenge the Beeters. So, Monday, the Beeters traveled back to Cut Bank to suffer a 52-49 loss to Fairfield ruining chances for Chinook to go to State, but they got a piece of action and finished a fine season to boast a record of 17-8.

Rebound, Steal And Score While the girls' varsity basketball team was contending with the novelty of change, the junior varsity team hustled to overcome inexperience so that they could work together as a team. The freshman and sophomore team was encouraged by their new coach, Henry Hofeldt, who motivated the girls through worthwhile practices to an overall record of 16-2. Throughout their 18 games, Melanie Smith led the team in rebounds with 142. Stephanie Fuhrman collected 101, while Stacey Shockely pulled down 92. In addition, Stacey Shockley led the team in steals with an incredible amount of 126. Connie Larson received 47 leaving Melanie Smith to pick up 42. The top scorer was Stacey Shockley with 188 points, followed by Melanie Smith with 162. Connie Larson trailed with 133. The Beeters averaged 35% from the field and 46% from the foul line for the 1984 season. Certainly, everyone on the team deserved credit for their dedication of time and effort. top- Connie Larson concentrates on her dribbling as well as her opponent, bottom right- While in an advantageous position, Eloise Solem anticipates a rebound against Shelby. back row- Cretchen Anderson, Judy Friede, Eloise Solem.

They ended the year with a 13-13 record and were 5-3 in tournament play, including a challenge game at Divisional in which a win would have sent the Beeters to state. The Beeters went into District tournament seeded sixth, but they played well and managed second place. The next week they were off to Divisional, where a third place finish was tops for the fairly young team. An outbreak of Measles in Browning and Cut Bank had a lot of the team-and a lot of their fans-heading for shots before the tournaments. Three seniors saw the end of their last season in the challenge game. Kelly Tilleman, Tom MacLean, and Loren Skoyen all saw plenty of action this year. top: Thomas Tilleman dribbles down the court during a home game, middle: Using his strength, jumping ability. hight advantage Darren Cate grabs down a rebound to dazzle the crowd.

The team ended the year with a respectable 28-3 record. Hopes were high after first places in both Conference and District for a shot at State Tournament. But at Divisionals a season-long rivalry with Chester got the best of the Beeters. Chester went on to play in the championship match, while the Beeters had to come through the losers' bracket and hope for a challenge game. All hope gradually died as the Beeters watched Fort Benton beat Chester in three games, making a challenge game impossible. Although several schools were added to the conference in Chinook s second year of high school power volleyball, the top four finishers in the District were playing for the second year. A lot of heart and desire enabled the team to win more than one come-from-behind match. About five times the Beeters fought from 11-1 deficits to win the game. Powerful serves, passes, sets, and spikes by the whole team made the Beeters a team to contend with. Four senior girls returned to the team for their second year: Kim Peterson, Wendy Pyette, Marianne Ryan, and Mimi Gibson. A newcomer, Karla Malsam continued to improve throughout the season. All-conference players were Kim Peterson, senior, and Deanna Sta-telen, junior, first team, and Melanie Smith, sophomore, second team.

Even with forfeits from the first two weight classes (at 98 and 105 pounds), the Beeter grapplers dominated their opponents. As a team, the Beeters wrestled well, finishing first in the Cut Bank, Lewistown, Choteau, Chinook and CMR Invitational tournaments. At divisionals, three championships and three second places were only good for a second place finish, as Cut Bank squeaked by with 136 team points to the Beeters' 132. Champs were seniors Willie Pyette (119 lbs.), Mike McEwen (138 lbs.), and Tim Blatter (145 lbs.). Winning second were seniors Travis Tilleman (167 lbs.), and Randy Scott (112 lbs.), and junior Bob Cross (132 lbs.). Other wrestlers who wrestled at divisionals were seniors J.D. Pike (155 lbs.), Brett Zarn (132 lbs.), Joe Bryson (185 lbs.), and Miner Hanger (heavyweight). The State meet was much more rewarding, as the Beeters walked away with the team trophy as well as four championships. Pyette, McEwen, and Blatter all ended the season with undefeated records (33-0). Tilleman was also a first place finisher. Cross ended up with fifth place, and Scott also wrestled well, but unfortunately didn't place.

But for several dedicated students, these months indicate hard work training for track season. Approximately 23 students went out for track, with a suprisingly low number of two seniors sticking out the season. During this time, seven school records were broken. Senior, Loren Skoyen set new times to beat in the 100, 200, and 400 meter dashes. Furthermore, Darren Cate jumped a new high of 6'4 in the high jump, while Rhea Frey ran the 3200 meter in a fast 11:59. Roxanne Tilleman also got herself into the record books by throwing a new distance in the shot put, and the girls' mile relay team which consisted of Lisa Shockley, Stacey Shockley, Karla Malsam, and Rhea Frey also set a new record. This season, the girls team captured their only first place trophy at the Simms meet. In spite of leaving at 4:00 in the morning for the District meet in Cut Bank, they landed a third place finish. Stacey Shockley broke the district record in the long jump, while Jamie Nei-baur broke a record there by throwing the shot put 150 feet. At Divisional, seven people made it into the finals. Rhea Frey, won both the 1600 and 3200 meter runs. Loren Skoyen also won a first place by winning the 400 meters, edging out Mike MacNamera of Malta. Going to state were seven people, but only three placed. Again, Skoyen came out a winner by setting a new state record in the 200 meter with a time of 22.3 seconds. Rhea Frey placed third in both the 1600 and 3200 meters, and Roxanne Tilleman got first place in the shot put by throwing 39-4 feet. top- Roxanne Tilleman throws to victory during a Havre meet.

We ll say no sad good-byes. For, though our hearts are heavy, The world before us lies , there were still tears on May 26, 1985. Graduations aren't supposed to be sad times, yet, losing friends brings those wet eyes. The 40 graduates donned in lavendar and white, with 19 wearing gold honor cords, listened to advice from commencement speaker, Don Driscoll, who spoke on perseverance. Perseverance produces winners, Driscoll said. Talent made a poor appearance until it married perseverance. Now, this combination, and a winning attitude keeps a good fighter in the ring.' Driscoll's final remarks were the words of the theme song. The Impossible Dream from The Man of La Mancha. Along the same line was Rodgers' and Hammerstein's song. Climb Every Mountain performed by the High School choir. Later, the Hi-Liners entertained the audience with Peter Lutkin's, The Lord Bless You and Keep You. While Driscoll's topic was perseverance. Valedictorian, Tom MacLean entertained his classmates with humorous What ifs . What if Speed Benbo didn't have a pickup to drive around at noon hour to cruise main street? What if Bonnie Ortner were not color blind, and didn't decorate the halls with her loud colors? MacLean asked. MacLean also warned the class about hard knocks, but advised, remember that life is a party, so let's celebrate.'' He closed his speech with a quote from Dutch artist, Vincent Van Gogh. On the other hand, Salutatorian, Bonnie Ortner talked about the need to have confidence. I have faith in us, she said. Then, Ortner read an optimistic poem by an anonymous author that was a wish to know what accomplishments lie ahead. After the graduates received their diplomas, they each held a white rose tipped with lavendar. Some quickly opened their documents to verify the presence of signatures. Finally, it was hats off, and hugs. The group now takes $65,000 in scholarships to pursue academic endeavors.

Students Honored During the 1984-1985 school year Chinook students performed extremely well in all areas. Therefore, it was very hard for the coaches and teachers to pick their winners, but they did, and they did a fine job of choosing. In volleyball, Kim Peterson and Deanna Statelen were voted Most Valuable, Wendy Pyette was Miss Hustle, and Melisa Jo Drugge was Miss Inspirational. Also, Kris Scott received the award for highest percentage of serves. In wrestling. Coach, Ken Stuker had four state champs so he just gave his Most Valuable Wrestler award to each of these young men. They were Mike McEwen, Willie Pyetre, Travis Tilleman, and Tim Blatter. In boys' basketball, Kelly Tilleman received the Inspirational award, with Steve Swank winning the Most Improved award. However, Thomas Tilleman. who was the second leading scorer in the conference and voted to the all-state team, won the Most Valuable Player award. In girls' basketball, Karla Malsam and Kim Peterson were voted Most Valuable. Peterson was also voted Miss Defense. Cheryl Preeshl won the free-throw award for highest percentage, and Roxanne Tilleman won the rebound award with 209 rebounds. In track, Loren Skoyen, who took first in the 200, second in the 400, and fourth in the 100 at state, was voted outstanding boys' track performer, while Rhea Frey, who took third in the 1600 and 3200 at state, was voted as outstanding in girls' track performance. Outstanding field performance awards went to Jamie Neibauer, who went to State in the discus, and Roxanne Tilleman, who took state in the shot put. In football, Tim Blatter received the defense award, Kelly Tilleman received the offense award, and Loren Skoyen received the most improved award. In addition to these awards other special athletic awards were presented. The Kimball award was given to Tim Blatter and Kelly Tilleman. On the other hand, the Neil Neibauer memorial award went to Jamie Neibauer. Then, Karla Malsam and Willie Pyette received the outstanding Sr. athlete award, while Tom Tilleman received the Tom Kezar memorial award. Colleen Cambell presented Melissa Gruszie with the Erin Campbell memorial award, and Willie Pyette received the Eric Brummer memorial. In additon, memorial and academic scholarships and awards were given to a variety of people. A new scholarship was awarded this year, available to nursing or music students. This was the Gladys Burkhartsmeyer Ann and Julie Hanson scholarship, which was given to Karen Chapman. The Ted and Thelma Johnson scholarship was awarded to Jason Pyette, while the Army Reserve award was given to Travis Tilleman. Even in academics Chinook excelled. In math, Beth Ortner finished first, Edwin Hewitt second, and Brett Zarn finished third on the National American Mathematics Exam. The Bosch and Lomb, Chemistry awards were given to Tom MacLean, and Susette Schillin. In Vo-Ag Loren Skoyen was considered best, while in music Mr. Dalton gave out a new award. His award for best jazz performer went to Heather Dawson, while Melanie Smith was Most Improved, and Bonnie Ortner was Most Instrumental. Other fine arts awards were presented by Mrs. Miller, who gave awards to the sophomore and senior English Classes. Marla Anderson and Bonnie Ortner had the highest G.P.A.'s, while Neil Weigand and Tim Blatter were most improved. Mrs. Miller also presented Tom MacLean with an award for being an avid reader. Furthermore, Mr. Smith awarded Amanda Higgins with a trophy making the race for validictorian and salutatorian so close. Although Tom MacLean finally won top honors with Bonnie Ortner in second place, Higgins too deserved recognition. Finally, the Teacher of the Year award was given to Mrs. Lind for her dedication to student council, and her high expectations for students. Lind resigned this year to give priority to her family. Certainly. Chinook has competitive students, who succeed because they believe in themselves. Winners rise to the occasion. Obviously 1985 was a year to celebrate the excellence of Beeter scholars and Beeter athletes. 105 Although this book may not cover all.
