Students’ unquenchable spirit often carried them above the basic concerns of the school. Unusual events became popular throughout the school year as student council members and other prominent student leaders attended workshops and brought enthusiasm to the school. Warm fuzzies, and hugs became common activities.

Students proved to make their four day Homecoming week seehting. On Monday, students dressed up as their Favorite Idol , and everyone from Cindi I.auper to Sylvester Stallone (Rambo) showed up in the hallways. On Tuesday, students wore their Hats and Shades to school. Also, everyone participated in Wednesday's dress up event of Rags' day. On Thursday. Parent-Teacher Conferences were held, so students received the day off to catch up on their sleeping and float making. The Bonfire, which occured that evening, demonstrated the students' spirit, and brought some excitement through the streets as well as the businesses with the Snake Dance. Friday, students dressed-up and participated in the coronation, pep assembly, and parade. Various skits were also performed by classes during the coronation, and while accompanied by Gail Swant, Lisa Shockley sang, Close to You . The Football Game proved to be exciting for the Beeter team, fans, and Ed Looby to whom the game was dedicated. The Beeters were out on the field and ready to burn the Indians at 7TO p.m. on Friday night. The game over flowed with a display ot power both offensively and defensively. The Beeters scored first on a one yard run by Senior quarterback Bob Cross. But, in the second quarter the Indians came back to take an 8-6 lead at the half. The Beeters defense was the key after halftime. A blocked punt by Todd Malsam and the recovery in the end zone by Hero-Of-The-Game , Steve Swank, gave the Beeters a 14-8 lead after Leiand Standiford's conversion. Then, the melodrama began. The first shock was only an introduction to the second. Jamie Neibauer fumbled the ball at the Chinook 32 and Ron Jendro was in an opportune spot to pounce on the ball with under a minute to play. Now it appeared as though the game was safely tucked within the Beeters back pocket. But, when the ball was popped in the air, a Browning man picked it up and was making a bee-line for the goal line, when Steve Swank caught up to the Indian running back and saved the game with a heroic tackle on the Beeters 14 yard line. After the Homecoming victory, students were ready to boogie the night away. The dance was arranged by Student Council members, who were the DJ's for the evening. top left- The CHS bend entertained parade goers with Chestet and On Wisconsin Km Scott. Krattne Stempke.

CLASSES Spirited Bunch Usually a class of high school students represents a wide variety of individuals with conflicting ideas, which pulls the group apart. However, the class of '86 has always possessed a certain closeness to one another. Four years of high school have pulled them closer together making it harder for them to separate and to go their own ways after graduation. The class members actually developed attachments similar to those found in a family. They supported one another, and criticized one another. They laughed, cried, and shared hugs. When Shelly Leo severely sprained her ankle at the GBB game with Browning, her classmates shared her sorrow, and each ball player hugged Shelly for good luck before the tip off at the next home game with Shelby. In addition to this close-knit character, the class encouraged change. Because of these people, the carnival was never the same. As sophomores, they instituted the pie-in-the-face booth. Of course the victims had to be teachers. How else were they to make money? The idea stuck. Another favorite thing to change was the arrangement of the white, painted rocks on a resident's hill between Chinook and Havre. The original arrangement was an offensive political message, Get us out of the U.N. . As a result, seniors rearranged the rocks to indicate a message of their own. K..S.A. was their favorite. Another assortment had an arrow pointing towards Chinook with the message, Al's Town, 13 miles. Since rumor said the resident would shoot trespassers, many students climbed and initialed the hill with the rocks for the challenge the feat presented. Another characteristic that identified this group was their school spirit. Sixty percent of the boys participated in sports, while fifty percent of the girls competed in athletics. However, they still found time for dedication to student government, academics, and other extra curricular projects. At carnival time their school spirit was evident in their serious competition for the recognition of winning the ticket sale race, which determined carnival king and queen. The class won the competition for three years already. Look to pages 98 and 99 to see if their record was perfect. The girls attributed this success to a good luck charm, the dress each candidate wore. This peach formal was actually worn backwards, but attractively by each girl, who was completely unaware of her error. Certainly assemblies will not be the same without the class of '86's interruption, S-E-N-I-O-R-S Seniors are the very best! circle Donna Miranda flashes her approving smile during skit action at the coronation ceremony, top left-Vivian Fridgeon finds humor in Beth Ortner's smug satisfaction with her cherry cheesecake, top right Homecoming King.

This dilemma typified the class itself; everchanging, always witty, but not always put together. However, the Juniors were not complete. The class of '87 were without their fellow classmate and friend, Ed Looby. Ed was injured in a traffic accident. His kindness and sense of humor were sorely missed. But fortunately, the juniors had Ed back the week before Thanksgiving. To welcome Ed home, the Pep Club put up numerous signs to express their happiness over Ed's return. One sign was written on newspaper and read. Did you hear the news:' Ed's back!” Certainly, the juniors, along with the rest of C.H.S. gave their thanks on Thanksgiving. Thanks that Ed was back. Along with Ed. thejunior class had many other mishaps. Brian Barber cracked a number of ribs when he rolled his car, and Roxanne Tilleman was injured while playing her always aggres Again sive style of basketball. She ended up ----imh with five stitches by her eye, and V broken braces. Furthermore. Marla Anderson, Lisa Shockley, and Sheryl Anderson were each credited with a crash in the ditch. All three escaped with minimal injuries. The Juniors were also known for their not-always-appreciated sense of humor. The Seniors can testify to this. During the homecoming bonfire the Juniors and Seniors were exchanging cheers of J-U-N'-I-O-R-S, Juniors are the very best, and S-E-N-I-O-R-S, Seniors are the very best. When the Juniors yelled, S-E-N-l-O-R-S, Seniors are really neat, although this makes no sense, it got the Seniors goat, and therefore made the Juniors very happy. But many, also overlooked the Juniors pride, outstanding class, and school spirit. Certainly, this group will make for perfect Seniors. Well, near perfect at least.

Since most of them had their licenses, cruising main, listening to music, and being very obnoxious at times was what kept them alive throughout the school-year. Since most of their time was spent in their cars with their friends, most people thought it to be impossible to do homework, but the sophomores accomplished their academic activities with success. Although this class did well in academic courses, they also showed a lot of spirit and excelled in extra-curricular activities. For example, Stacey Shockley assisted the Girl's Basketball Team to a State Championship. She had an extremely aggressive style out on the court. Her speed and grace will be valuable assets to the BGG team in the next two years. Then, there're Scott Mac-Kenzie, Brad Peterson, and Ray Leo whose abilities helped BBB team to many victories throughout the season. Furthermore, Scott Brummer is a promising contender in wrestling. Kent Dolezal would also have given the wrestlers some more points if he hadn't broken his leg during practice. His brother, Mark, the assistant coach, broke Kent's leg when he threw a knee freeze on him and unfortunately snapped his lower leg in two!! Kent spent the year healing, but he'll be back and ready to wrestle next year. The Sophomores had many leaders in everything. For example, Kathie Gruszie proved her leadership ability by earning the tiugh O'Brian Leadership Award. ''Sensitivity and concern for myself and others is a deep part of my personality. It is important to use my own strengths to benefit others; and their strenghts, in turn will benefit me. This learning process is the basis for reaching goals, because with a good education, I can accomplish anything, answered Kathie to one of the many questions in which Kathie showed her leadership ability. The runner-up for the Hugh O'Brian Award was Scott MacKenzie. One of the many activities throughout the school year at CHS was the Snoball which the sophomore class sponsored. It was filled with the Christmas spirit and was a big success. There were lots of decorations, like the big tree in the middle of the floor, delicious Christmas candies and cookies, and GREAT music, such as Built this City on Rock and Roll by Starship. Certainly this class, though wild, has great potential that can be shown through their academics, sports, and leadership.

Obviously, the Freshmen class also knew how to play sports, and have good sportsmanship, on and off the court, field, or mat. No matter what, one could be sure there would be at least a small cluster of freshmen at every game to show their enthusiasm and support for that game. Enthusiasm for athletic events wasn't the only spirit they had. As a class, the Freshmen were full of motivation! They proved their leadership to the upper classmen by beating them in the Spirit Chain Contest. This contest was put on by the Student Council and each class bought links for their chain at 10c each. At the end of the week, a pep assembly was held and the chains were rolled out across the gym. By having the longest chain, the freshmen earned $75, which was 30 percent of the total earnings. Then, the chains were taken to the District Girls' Basketball Tourney to pep-up the Beeter gals. Ffowever, the freshmen had a hard time with school work, at first. Then, they settled down, got organized, and started getting the grades they wanted, which showed, because at each nine weeks, there would be more and more people added to the honor roll. Maybe those fresh-men have something!!! The freshmen seemed quite modest when it came to dating. You could usually hear smart remarks come from their mouths when one of their friends started going out, but you could always be sure to see someone blush or a tongue being stuck out when it was him or her. Hopefully this means that they will be good Sophomores next These Halloween spooks look just like Pam Gruszie and Kerry Larson! What a disguise!

Shelly Leo performs before a game to calm her nerves. Lisa Shockley stands with a puzzled look on her face as the shot is missed. 25 They played the best, they beat the best, and now they are the best! The Chinook Lady Beeters took the 1965 State Title from the defending champs, the Fairview Warriors. It wasn't an easy task for the Beeters. because they had to beat three undefeated teams With an ending season of 25 wins and two losses, the I.ady Beets showed Fairview. and the other less fortunate teams, that the Beeters are number one. The Beeters won the District Championship by defeating the Malta M'ettes, 14 43. in a very exciting game Roxanne Tilleman lead the team with ten points with Shells MacKenzie and Rhea Frey each having eight points. However, the Beeters went on to Divisional to lose to Malta in another close game. 43 46, to take second place. But it was the best thing Malta could have done for the Beeters. putting them in the bracket against Superior. Superior sure wasn t superior , because the Lady Beets brought them down by a 49-46 victory. The Beets then went on to deteat Belgrade with a 60-42 score. Can they do it ' , was the question in everyone's mind as the Lady Beets went against top-ranked Fairview for the State Title; Yes’ was the answer. The girls went on to defeat Fiarview. 61 49! Even though it was a time for celebration, sadness spread over the Beeters. Senior. Deanna Statelen was rushed to the hospital for her heart condition, which started when her heartbeat sped up to the point where all the blood was pumped out of her heart, and she lost blood pressure. Although the problem was not new. it was thought of as cured and as not causing any further problems. But. it did come back, and will affect Deanna the rest of her life. Deanna was a big part of the state victory, but almost lost her life. When she came home the real celebration started. Getting to the top was no easy task for the Beeters. Although they started their season against Valier with two enormous victories. 75-39. and 95 20. (What a way to open a season') the Beeters didn't always have it so easy. There has always been a great rivalry between Malta and Chinook; it was at its best this year! They split the victories during the season, and the Beeters psyched themselves up to take District by giving Malta a message of K.M.A on the famed hillside between Chinook and Havre. As a result of their phenomenal effort, three girls from the Beeter team; Rhea Frey, a senior, joined by two juniors. Roxanne Tilleman and Lisa Shockley, made first team all-conference. These girls also earned First team all-state honors. Both awards commend the girls for excellence, since only five girls earn such accolades. Now . the Lady Beeters don't have to worry about Malta, or any other team, because they have proven that they are State Champions’ The girls have given a whole new meaning to the term, team ball.

When they won, they won. a hard fought battle. Consequently, the 1985 football season began and ended on a sad note. Even with all the lost games and snowy practices this young team faced, it seemed that nothing was too harsh to deaden the BEETER PRIDE’ that first year beeter coach. Bob Dolezal, instilled in this football squad of 1985. Try as they might, the five inspiring seniors of this up coming )unior based football team, couldn't seem to lead their team past a two and six overall record. Of all the obstacles facing the team, it seemed that there were two. that were having a battle of which would hurt the football team the worst; those being the young team, and the new type of offense brought to Chinook by Coach Dolezal. For example, in the Harlem game. Jamie Neibauer rushed for KM yards, while Bob Cross rushed for 68. Also. Leland Standiford intercepted a pass and returned it for .48 yards. But a field goal by Harlem that looked like a miss, and a touchdown in the last few seconds gave Harlem the win. The last game of the season was also a very close game in all but score. A few mistakes turned the game around for Conrad However, in the third quarter, the Beetcrs were able to stop the Cowboy's fourth down conversion, which gave the Beeters a good field position. Also. Jamie Neibauer had a season best, rushing for 245 yards. Vet. with all these obstacles, the Beeter team did things which kept its pride alive, one being the dedication of homecoming to Ed Looby. Besides the game's being dedicated to Looby the seniors and a few juniors took a road trip to Great Falls the following day and presented Ed with the game winning ball that was autographed by all the players. Along with this, a video tape of the game and a requested taping of the radio broadcast by KRYK were also donated to Ed. This was one of the many things the Beeter team did to keep their good spirits. Obviously, this year was not successful in the record books, but if acquiring the ideals of team pride, self worth, and learning to help your partner were noted, they would all have been record breakers for the 1985 football season. Certainly, this Beeter team has a lot of which to be proud, especially knowing they gave it their best in every game. The competition for football was tremendous. because the state champions came from the Northern B Division! Nonetheless. many of our starters were named to the All Conference team, both offensively and defensively. Jamie Neibauer. fullback and defensive tackle, was named to the first team. Leland Standiford. defensive back and punter, was named to the second team. Those named to honorable mention, included Dwain Tilleman as a defensive linebacker, and Allen Higgins as an offensive guard. In addition. Jamie Neibauer was selected as an alternate to the East-West Shrine team. 30 THIS PAGE: top left Lentiie Buhmann. wide receiver, pivots to catch the pass, top right • The game must be an exciting one. as everyone’s eyes are fixed on the field.

Our boys basketball team with their tremendous talent and determination proved themselves by making history. The team completed their regular season as conference champs with their unbeatable record of 18-0. One of the highlights of season play came against Malta. The Malta win came on the road, but not without some last second heroics. The game was a typical nip-and-tuck affair. With one second left on the clock, and a 50-49 margin in Malta's favor, Chinook called a time out to regroup. The inbounds pass was perfect from Jamie Nei-bauer as Thomas Tilleman cut for the far end. His catch, turnaround and shot were perfect as he launched what has been described as a half-court 30-footer. No matter what it was, it went swish for the win. When the Beeters entered the District tournament, they lost only to the Browning Indians in the championship bout. However, their second place didn't alter their goal. This was a bad happening that just didn't mean too much. Advancing to the Divisional tournament, the Beeters edged Simms and Fairfield before dropped the championship game to the Indians. Chinook didn't end up with all the roses, but they got another shot at the bouquet. And. they took it! Shaking off both losses, the guys started their State tournament play against the Western Division champs, the Plains Horsemen. Stellar performances by Tilleman and Brad Friede powered the Beeters to a 75-70 victory. The orange and black attack then rolled over Big Timer by a score of66-60, setting up a championship tilt against the Lodge Grass Indians. Despite one of their worst offensive performances of the season, the Beeters claimed the title of State Champs with a thrilling 67-66 victory. In addition, Tilleman was voted most valuable player of the tournament. Joining Tilleman on the State B All-tournament first team was Friede, who was also named to the All-State team. The championship culminated a history-making year for the Chinook Beeter basketball program, as CHS became the first Montana high school to win both the girls and boys State basketball titles in the same year.

The young 13-member team was inconsistant from match to match, but the players gained valuable experience on the way to an outstanding 31-17 record. In their last three matches before the District tournament, the Bceter netters seemed to find their stride. Three wins, against Fort Benton, Big Sandy, and Chester, placed Chinook in second place in the conference, behind Malta. The District Tournament produced no change in the order of Finish, with Malta on top again after two wins over Chinook. Divisionais showed a different record, however. Chinook dropped their First game to Simms, forcing a trip through the losers bracket, while Malta took the easy way out by winning their First two matches. The two teams Finally met in a match that would determine third place for the loser, and a trip to state for the winner. In one of Chinook's best matches of the season. Malta fell 11-15. 2-15. It was the Beeters First win, against four losses over the M-cttes during the season. Then, a loss to Shelby assured the Beeters of second place, and of going on to state. The State Tournament provided new competition and a new intensity for the Chinook team. First-round action matched Chinook and a tough, experienced Big Fork team. It took the Valykries three games to defeat the Beeters; only four other teams had forced a three-game match from Big Fork throughout the season. Big Fork later became the State champions. Chinook lost their next two matches to Wolf Point and Three Forks, setting the Beeters in eighth place. At First it was embarassing. Being number eight at the state volleyball tourney after both the boys and the girls Basketball teams took the State championships, just didn't seem very gratifying. However, after sifting through the statistics, the Sugarbeeters realized that number eight, out of some 80 schools that play volleyball in the state, isn't too bad. Furthermore. the game the veteran Big Fork team lost to the Beeters was only the Fifth game that they lost all year, and the only game they lost in the state tourney. Certainly the Beeters gave the veterans a battle with their effective blocking. Although they weren't state champs, three girls captured honors. First year player, senior Rhea Frey was named to First Team All-Conference and State All-Tournament Team. Senior Krista Scott, and junior Melanie Smith, co-captains, were named to Second Team All-Conference. Obviously nothing to scoff at. Five seniors ended their last season at state. Krista Scott, 3 year player; Melisa Jo Drugge, 3 year player; Rhea Frey, I year player. Beth Ornter. 2 year player; and Polly Ncmes. 2 year player. The seniors' level of play at state was impressive. Their hard hits, tremendous saves, back court play, and continual rallies will certainly be missed when volleyball season begins next year. Perhaps some of their spirited enthusiasm will remain with their teammates. left- Kris Scott and Mel Smith practice their sets in warm-ups. top- Kavlea Coy prepares to return a spiked ball, middle- Looking like an angry referee.

Shelbv Invitational Tourm Chinook Intpratirtnal ( MR I nunv Big Sandy Malta Divisional State 22nd Just like in football this year, the Beeter wrestling team, having five freshmen, and losing nine of ten starters through graduation, was youthful and inexperienced. As a result, Chinook, the defending state wrestling champions, was not considered a contending force for the 1986 title. Instead, this was a year for rebuilding. Although the wrestling team was weak in number with some of the light weight categories left unfilled, their strong ambition needed no developing. Bob Cross, a senior, anchored the team with his hopes to win a state title at 138 pounds. Other solid, returning lettermen provided a good nucleus around which to build an ambitious team. Junior, Dwain Tilleman. Seniors. Ron Jendro and Quint Boe, and Sophomore, Scott Brummer all lettered last year. However, the name that dominated the headlines during this season was Bob Cross. You could almost expect it. First. Bob Cross powered his way to a first place at 145 over Deverarux of Great Falls in the Shelby Invitational Tournament. The veteran senior had little trouble working his way into the championship match which he won on technical fall. 16-0. Also, Dwain Tilleman. at 167 took second, Don Cross lost at 126 to earn third, and Scott Brummer nipped Ron Jendro 5-3 at 155 in a battle between two Chinook wrestlers. As a result, Chinnok placed fifth in the tournament. In their own tournament. Bob Cross finished first, Dwain Tilleman and Ron Jendro second, and Don Cross placed third. However, the CMR tournament was not Chinook High's finest wrestling hours. Only Bob Cross, who injured a leg in his semi-final match, was able to bring home a ribbon for second place. At the Malta divisional, the great eight; Todd Woronik. Mick Harrington, Bob Cross, Ron Jendro. Dwain Tilleman. Chuck Friede. and Neil Weigand, represented Chinook From that slate. Bob Cross, Don Cross, and Dwain Tilleman all qualified for the state tournament with three thirds. Donald was perhaps the surprise of the divisional tournament, battling his way from being unranked to taking third at 126. Then, three Beeter wrestlers headed to state, which was a big change from last years journey, but there was still hope for personal achievements. Bob Cross, losing only one match and that to the eventual state champion, placed third at 138 in Cut Bank. The other state entrants didn't fare as well, but their wins gave them experience for next year. They have something to grow on.

Besides joining to be a track star, some athletes joined for the scenic viewing of the opposite sex. Meanwhile, others joined to stay in shape, to begin early on that summer tan, or to socialize. Seriously though, our track team this year was a hard-working group of individuals. They set personal goals and achieved these goals by hard work and dedication. Because of the late snow, rain, cold, and mud Chinook only participated in five track meets before attending the District meet in Havre. Those individuals involved in music festival missed one of the five meets, and those who made it to State Music Festival only attended three meets. Ignoring all these setbacks, the track team attended the District Meet and made a fine showing. The girls came back with a third place trophy and many individuals were on their way to Divisional held in Great Falls. Those girls going included Frances Nemes, Vanessa Bilger, Lesley VonEs-chen, Lisa Shockley, Connie Larson, Roxanne Tilleman, Susie Sizemore, Brenday Moxley, and the mile relay team. The boys that attended Divisional were Leland Standiford, Jamie Nei-bauer, Scott MacKenzie, and Darren Cate. Those that qualified at Divisional and continued on to State in Butte were: the girls mile relay, consisting of Lisa Shockley, Frances Nemes, Lesley VonEschen, Roxanne Tilleman, and alternate, Vanessa Bilger; Frances Nemes. 1600 m 800 m; Roxanne Tilleman, shotput; Jamie Neibauer, shotput; Lisa Shockley, triple jump; Darren Cate, triple jump and high jump. Only Lisa Shockley came away with a placing - and that was a fourth. Everyone else brought home a sun burn, and dampened spirits. However, in our minds our track team rates § . At the District Track Meet the girls placed 5rd with 44 points. The boys were fch with 22.5 points. Connie Larson set a school record in the 100m hurdles (17.7).

The girls' tennis team was another first in our school's history. The new sport was created to achieve sex equity in sports, making five sports for each sex group. Coached by Mr. Gerry Blankinship. 13 Beeter-ettes went into the season with full swing. Later, their numbers were broken down into four singles teams consisting of Sandy Charney, Eloise Solem. Laura Bucklin, and Colleen Campbell, and two doubles teams, Jeanette Fran-tal and Becky Graff, and Judy Friede and Kathy Anderson. Howerver, the girls were not able to play any tournaments on a home court. A minimum of six courts is necessary to conduct a singles and doubles tournament; however, the city only has two courts. As a result, the girls practiced at home, but hosted their invitational tournament at Conrad. All of the girls did well in their first year of play, where Coach Blankinship emphasized the teaching of basic strokes: the serve, forehand, and backhand. Then strategies were introduced in the latter part of the season. Winning was not the tennis team's primary goal this year. Instead, game experience and game pressures were highlighted. Our inexperienced team met up with some stiff, experienced competition but gained much valuable experience from it. They held their own against some teams with several year's experience. Their knowledge of the game and execution of tennis skills was acquired, and this will make them a formidable opponent next year . Coach Blankinship complimented. Indeed our girls know the sport of tennis really is a tough racket .

First, victory bap were given to the various teams making it to state. In these bags, the cheerleaders' originality came through. They Filled the bags with a variety of items bearing inspirational puns. For example. the Kleenex wasn't for drying tears, but to inspire the team to blow away” their opponents. An orange symbolized the Orange Crush. SKOR candy bars bore an obvious hope, while cinnamon candies stated, our team is red hot.” Another innovation, the Sugar Beeter Shuffle, modeled after the Chicago Bears Superbowl Shuffle, was used to describe the boys basketball members and coaches. Also the cheerleaders incorporated unusual ideas into their pep assemblies. They held a jello-snarf. and several obstacle course relays that included walking with books on your head, and pushing toilet paper across the gym floor with your nose. Other items of interest incorporated into the cheerleading personality were athletic abilities as could be seen by Lisa Shockley's and Shelly MacK-enzies back flips in several cheers. Also, for something new. the cheerleaders represented CHS as the drill team. The GBB cheerleaders performed a routine to The Heat is on” at the girls' tournaments, and the BBB cheerleaders performed a routine to Let s Go Crazy at the BBB tournaments. Both routines were choreographed by Colleen Campbell. Having so many winning teams to support, made cheerleading an unforgettable experience in 1986. top-Practice makes perfect was the belief of the cheerleading squads who spent hours rehearsing after school.

All the breathing exercises, hissing, lip slurs, sectionals, and new concert band uniforms, about which the students complained all year, paid off. Both the Concert band and the Jazz band received ones at District Music Festival. Individuals who received ones were Melissa Baird, trumpet solo; Mark Miller, Kori Cate, and Ron Fisher, trumpet trio; and Krista Scott. Melanie Smith, and Marla Anderson, Clarinet trio. The additional recognition of honorable mention for the Honors Concert was awarded to Polly Nemes for her flute solo, and to Frances Nemes for her trombone solo. The Concert band also received an Honorable Mention. Furthermore, Robjenks, with his trumpet solo, Kathie Gruszie. Becky Graff, and Kerry Larsen, with their flute trio, and Pauline Fisher, Michelle Medlin, and Jodie Farmer, with their flute trio, earned two ratings. Four students attended Honor Band in 1985; Polly Nemes, Francies Nemes. Melissa Baird, and Kori Cate. Probably the most memorable moments) for the majority of the band members were the marching sessions held during first period in preparation for the homecoming parade. The fingers of the participants were usually thawed out by mid-afternoon on the warmer days. But amidst the constant complaining, there were many funny and memorable moments; highlighted by the playing of the school song outside Mr. Smith's window.

The choir performed excellently this year. The turn out for the fall and winter concerts was tremendous. The main projects. though, included District and State music fesitvals, and a spring musical, Standing Room Only (SRO). At the district festival in Cut Bank, an overwhelming amount of solos and ensembles performed, receiving superior and excellent ratings. Those who received superior ratings continued on to state in Helena, where five vocalists received superior ratings on solos. In addition, excellent ratings were obtained by five girls. Meanwhile. the girls ensemble grabbed a superior rating, and the junior quartet received an excellent. Finally, performing duets, eight ladies saw the superior nod. and two young men won an excellent. Obviously. CHS produces talented vocalists. However, SRO was the music department's major highlight. Much like a dinner theatre in a large city. SRO entertained the audience with hits from Vaudeville, Broadway, Television, Movies, and the Big Band era. The performance was extremely professional; certainly a fantastic display of talent. During the year, choir moved from Car-nagie Hall to the auditorium for the sake of room and accessability for SRO rehearsal. Even though the choir members put forth a tremendous amount of time and effort for ther performances, they always had time for a little fun, much to Mrs. Schroeder's dismay. As for discipline. though, our choir rates great. Several judges at the music festival commended the choir for that quality. Apparently no one was too disappointed with Mrs. Schroeder's low tolerance for misbehavior, because the student body voted her Teacher of the Year. Her ability to bring out the best in a vocalist proves her qualification. Girls Ensemble- Colleen Campbell. Kathy Gruszie. Kaelea Coy. Pam Gruszie. Connie Larson front- Lisa Shockley.

The Pep Club took on many new projects to raise money to sponsor traditional activities. For instance, they sold Beeter hats, and ads. With the money that they earned, they bought cakes for various activities. and gave victory bags to all state-goers. As always, they bought flowers for the participants and their parents on Senior night. Furthermore, they bought a six-pack of Dr. Pepper for each of the winners of the Dr. Pepper Awards. In addition. Pep Club found volunteers to play the Beeter mascot, who performed at basketball games to boost crowd enthusiasm. These masked individuals included Gordon Young. Dawn Marchuk, and Tammy Bergman. Pep Club boosted spirit tremendously this year thanks to the dedication of the officers. Way to be. Pep Club!

The bulk of their interests centered around a core of contests. However, they wandered into other projects as well. First, the group sent two delegates, Dennis Mitchell and Nick Young, to the District State and National Convention. Then, they participated in the NILE Livestock Judging in Billings, and in the KMON Livestock Judging in Great Falls. They also traveled to Bozeman for the Winter Fair. At these events, their performances in competition are judged, or they are judging livestock. The group received a 3rd at the District Livestock Judging, and a 2nd in the District Test Team. There was also an Individual District Test Team in which Nick Young claimed the honor of 3rd place. Since the FFA group travels to many events, they have to earn money to pay for their expenses. To do so, they held a Valentine Dance for the student body, sold consessions at many sports events, and sold citrus. Furthermore, a new addition was made to the FFA Chapter, which involved alumni members. It was the reorganization of the Alumni Association. This group held an Open House, and a Pancake Breakfast during National FFA Week in an effort to unite support for vocational agriculture education, strengthen support for the FFA, and promote a greater knowledge of the ag industry at all levels. 61 Shuffling meeting times and practially bodily forcing members to write their stories kept yearbook advisor Donna Miller, and editor Melisa Jo Drugge occupied this year. But when not tending to these duties, they quickly found other yearbook responsibilities that needed their surveillance. Certainly, the annual staff was one busy organization this year. Yearbook members attempted various methods to raise money to help curtail publishing costs of The Breeze. In between all the scholastic and extra-curricular events that needed the yearbook's photography services; members made buttons. This was the favorite fundraiser amongst yearbook participants. It called for annual representatives to practice their selling techniques and creativity for the always popular events of selling ads. Most yearbook personnel agree that this is the one event that they could forego without feeling any pangs of guilt. The yearbook also participated with a booth at carnival and sold concessions at Junior High basketball games. All these activities, along with meeting deadlines, kept the staff hopping throughout the fall, winter, and spring. Obviously though, the yearbook made it through the year and completed the annual- with flying colors. But, walk about school halls with heed.

Futhermore. their meets took the Beeters as far away as Cut Bank and KG and kept them challenged by many talented people. At Divisional in Fort Benton. Carla Bilger took sixth place in the mime, Mary Duke and Stacey Pyette took first place in their serious duo. Rob Elias took fourth place with his MPA, and Melissa Biard took third place with her serious solo. Thus, qualifying all five for state. In the State Competition held at Great Falls, Carla Bilger placed fifth with her mime, Mary and Stacey placed seventh with their serious duo, and Rob Elias took third. The team took fourth overall in sweepstakes competition. The Chinook Invitational Tourney wittnessed a sad occasion with the dismissal of long-time coach. Ruby Skoyen. due to a new law prohibiting state employees from being employed over- time with out overtime pay. When asked to give a speech. Ruby vowed, I'll be back! And she was. Annette Fitzpatrick assisted the team until the misread and misapplied law was understood. Through it all, head coach Pat Gillen was the binding glue for the team, in spite of her first year at Chinook. At the Awards Assembly the team gave out four special awards. Senior Rob Elias took home two awards winning the Best Competitor and the Speech Award. Melissa Baird and Carla Bilger captured the Drama Trophy and Most Inspirational trophies, respectively. Jeanette Frantal garnered the Most Improved Award. Certainly with every year, the Speech and Drama team grows in number. With their valuable service projects, such as raising money for a heart monitor, the team contributes a great deal to the community.

Curious students and teachers wondered what the statement meant, and whether their name would be called next Tuesday. However, this announcement was exclusively for the National Honor Society (NHS) members. Members of the NHS provided a public service by helping pick up coupons at the various drop places every week. The announcement signaled their day to provide assistance. Each member signed up for a certain week. He returned the coupons to the high school where students helped cut and sort them. The coupons were then taped to products in the grocery stores. The money earned from these coupons was donated to the Public Broadcasting Station. Over $3000.00 was raised. Coupon gathering, however, was not the only project accomplished by the members of NHS. In addition, something a little different was done. The members decided to sponsor the Halloween dance. Costumes ranged from The Fruit of the Loom Guys” to surgeons and nurses. The costumes were judged, and Anita Gauthier and Jack Conners won the prize for the most original costume coming to the dance as salt and pepper shakers. On April 29, the Chinook Chapter of NHS inducted eighteen new members. Several talents for initiation were performed. each having their memorable moments. Musical excellence seemed to be the most popular talent with 12 members presenting a musical performance. However, floral arranging, an art show, a computer demonstration, an aerobic dance, a poetic recitation, and an informational talk on basketball also entertained banquet goers. The NHS members kept busy throughout the year with various events. It is an assured bet that the new members will keep up the good tradition. It i top- As their initiation into NHS.

According to Miss Anderson, all of the independent art students showed progress this year. Laurie Skones produced some outstanding paintings. Furthermore. Pat Florea continued his drawings, and really improved his skills. Meanwhile. Mark Davidson, one of two independant students who worked with sculpture, completed a life size wire man. Then. Shelly Graff continued to show improvement in technique, and is developing a style of her own in both drawing and oil painting. Her golden labrador puppy was displayed in the high school office for several weeks. Finally, Julie Gauthier produced some excellent water color paintings including some close-up flowers and landscapes. Her sketchbook drawings, which all students kept, gave her good practice for many areas in Art. Julie also did some outstanding wire sculpture work.

The year for the Student Council never ended. During the summer, various activities took place. Beth Ortner and Vivian Pridgeon attended a National Student Council Convention in Pennsylvania, and Shelly Leo attended a Student Leadership Workshop in Bozeman. Clinics were held to inform new members of their duties, and a mafia' potluck was given to the teachers to help improve communication and relations. The Student Council helped put coupons in the stores for PBS, and helped the Lions during the fair at their pronto-pup booth. As school started, some major projects taken on and accomplished included a State Convention, Morp. Homecoming, a Student school board member, and carnival. The ten students who attended a successful State Convention brought home new ideas, such as spirit chains, HUGS, and MORP. The Student Council met the goals they made this year. They elected student representative, Vivian Pridgeon, to serve on the school board, they sent Kathie Gruszie to Oklahoma for the National Student Council Convention, and the new student body officers attended Student Leadership Week in Bozeman. The student was certainly the primary concern of the Council, who activities centered around positive self esteem development. with the most exotic, delicious salads. 71 ACADEMICS Stacey Pyettc gathers information for her term paper LeveJones.

Carol Inman taught the Spanish classes tor the first week of school. Then, Carol Hess, who is originally from Mexico, took over the classes. With Senora Hess, Spanish students cooked Mexican food and learned more about Mexican history and culture than they could have learned from a book. When Mrs. Fitzpatrick returned, the Spanish class settled down to conjugating verbs. In an effort to accomodate the needs of all students, the foreign language department offered independent study classes. Only one student studied advanced Spanish, while three students engaged in the study of French. Jack Mattingly who has a major in French and Russian, encouraged the use of conversational French, in his class, because once a student enters a foreign language class in college, the teacher introduces himself, gives the class requirements, and then stops speaking English. However, foreign language classes were not the only source from which to obtain cultural knowledge. The social studies classes also provided that information. The cultures of The Old World. Egypt, and Saudi Arabia were unusual cultures that were highlighted. The history department's new teacher. Bob Dolezal, taught World History, American History, and American Government. Even though Mr. Dolezal is shorter than most of his students, no one tried to get away with anything because of the respect the classes have for his threatening stature. With a new teacher came new techniques. Most of his classes were spent in discussion. However, not all activity was democratic. Often Mr. Dolezal played the dictator, and lectured on the material covered by each chapter. Finally, in American Government. Mr. Dolezal taught his students by comparing our government to other governments. Mr. Dolezal left his students with an understanding of government procedures. top left-Extra curricular activities often tires a student to the point of exhaustion.

Consumer Math, and Geometry, believe in rewards and fieldtrips. In Mr. Blankinship’s classes the students received candy if they laughed at his jokes, and received candy on most Fridays. 11 is consumer math class took various fieldtrips. On the fieldtrip to Kuhr's Clothing, the students learned about the ways that stores buy their merchandise, while on the trip to the Western Bank they learned how checks are processed through the bank. The class also had a taco party before Christmas. Mr. Blankenship made learning fun. On the other hand. Mrs. Monson prepared students for advanced mathematical study. As a result, she encouraged vigorous study. Many of her classes employed the computer for math drills, and for a visualization of the trigonometry functions. Computers were also used in business classes where out with the old and in with the new seemed to be the adopted slogan. Along with the basic business courses, they are now offering several new and consolidated classes. Instead of the old separate classes of clerical and secretarial office procedures, a new class of office procedures was offered to the juniors and seniors of the 1986-87 school year. It is a proven fact that you need business courses to make it in today's professional world. Becky Stuker and Dave Jensen did strive to keep up with the times. Beginning computer word processing, another new course, was also offered for aspiring new businessmen and women.

The name did contuse many students, and many parents at conference time However, the same name did imply similar ideas. Both fe athers emphasized the teaching of grammar, and henh shared the same frustration in the students luck of retention of simple grammar usage. Both teachers also attempted to incorporate computers into the classroom Presently term papers are processed on the APPLE and courseware is used for novel review The two teachers hope to purchase ■ «� mpurers for their classroom so that they can be used for grammar rev icw and for the writing process. cw ideas were also attempted in the English classroom I irst of all. Miller s classes had a word of the dav livers dav students learned a new word and even two weeks they had a quiz. Also, if the students used these words in classroom assignments, they received extra-credit Now the students can under- stand such sentences as Today my brain was inundated with knowledge. I took copious notes that will lie conducive to rigorous study if I am a perusal. If I keep this up diurnally. I will become sagacious and auspicious. Then. Mr Miller's |uniors began to process a newspaper using the computer, but due to lack of responsible interest, stories were not turned in. and the paper idea was dead before it was actually born. English involves much work and concentration. As a result, it can lie very interesting and rewarding. The interest will keep expanding, especially as long as new ideas are being developed. A journalism class, and an advanced placement class arc planned as new additions for the 1987 curriculum. Other classes which involved concentration were the science classes. These classes promoted knowledge and skill that proved to be both academically worthwhile and personally meaningful to the students enrolled. In Physical Science areas of their study included S4 und. waves, light, and even some comparisons with over the counter drugs. ( hem I and II students spent much of their time performing science. Work with elements, compounds. and solutions is the basis of their study. Any Chemistry student would have a quick answer to any mole problem you might have. On the other hand, calculations and more calculations are the name of the game in the Physics class. Such areas as waves, heat, and light are subjects dealt with in these labs. Then. Mr. Olson teaches an exclusive class in the biology department featuring many topics of interest such as the classification of living things, all genetics, and specution. Advanced Biology students learn through dissection about the distinctive anatomical vtructures of different groups of animals Both classes deal with experiments and theories, and how those theories are subject to revision. top left- Robjenks looks up from his maga?ine on the podium top right- Strategy is the key to winning a SCRABBLE match, therefore.

Once there, students not only learned about animal and crop sciences, but also were taught machines, and basic power tool operation. Students learned agricultural skills such as, how to care for and manage livestock. Also, they were taught crop management and the safe use of pesticides and insecticides. In addition, students learned basic welding, small engine repair, wiring and the over hauling of engines. They built engine stands, and round bale feeders, as well as a utility shed; which was a special project that was raffled off at Carnival time with the proceeds going to the student council, and the other half going to the Vo-Ag program. The material for this shed was donated by Bob and Don's Hardware. Although, the skills learned in shop will help many of the students in Agriculture careers, the skills also will help all of the students in repairing things in their future. While shop classes were repairing and building with materials, health and P.E. classes repaired and developed self esteem. and bodies. The health department presented a selfesteem unit for freshman and sophomores. A program called One Of A Kind,'' produced by thejosten Company and designed for this age group, was used as the basic text. The One Of A Kind course was developed to make students aware of their value as human beings and to give them the tools necessary to build a long-term positive self-image. While the health department was building positive self image, the P.E. classes were building bodies. Students exercised by playing a variety of ball games. In addition to the traditional ball games, students knocked pins down in pin ball, and threw balls at dodging peers in speed ball. The boys also played a form of volleyball called medicine ball which involved the use of a heavier ball. Meanwhile, the girls performed aerobics. Cenainly. health and physical education builds strong minds and bodies in many ways. At Chinook, we are unique.

The cooking classes learned the fundamentals of preparing food, the basic four food groups, and how to shop economically for every day food purchases. While the cooking class was making momentary delights, the clothing class made things that would last a lifetime. Each of the students picked out his own project and worked on that project daily. However, the class did have certain requirements such as putting in a zipper, setting in sleeves, and using different types of fabrics. Another class was the Marriage and Single Life class where students obtained a good understanding of their body. The class devoted considerable time to discussion as well as to field trips, to films, and to class discussions. Marriage and Single Life is an excellent class for those planning on going into the medical profession. Finally, the Single Survival class helped individuals learn about consumer buying, recreational sewing, and cooking for one. Certainly, home economics is well worth taking. It will expand your horizons immensely for the future, since home economy skills are necessary for survival. Furthermore, home ec allows creative expression. Another class that allows creative expression is Art. Creativity was the word those classes heard and used throughout the year. Miss Anderson introduced many new ideas to the progressing high school art classes. Learning to work with the six elements of design; line, color, texture, value, shape, and space timing, has been an educating challenge for the ambitious high school art students. These elements are the basics of all the art work done in the cozy, little room across the street. High school art students worked with wire sculptures, candlemaking, scratch boards, leather, paints, and drawing. However. we musn't forget the sketches. Yes! The art classes do have homework. These sketches are the exercising of talent. This talent and knowledge was displayed by the art students in art shows. Each student had at least one piece displayed in the Harlem Seed Show. Then, the local art show exhibited all school art. Furthermore, each month an artist was chosen as The Artist of the Month. The artist was honored by having his picture in THE CHINOOK OPINION along with a picture of the art that helped him capture the award. Chuck Friede and Kody Farmer shared the prestige of being exemplary artists. left- Working with scratch board was a new project for studying values, and creative use of white space.

Karen sponsored the checrleading squad and the pep club. Mr. Shane Lester came to Chinook from MSI’ to teach vocational education He also advises the FFA. His hobbies include hunting and music. Mr. Gerry Blankinship arrived with eight years experience to teach math. His hobbies include running and dogs. His cocker spaniel frequently became the subject of his stories in class. Mr William Jaquette taught for three years before coming here. Jaquette teaches music. His hobbies are refinishing furniture, and of course, music. Mr Mike Miller has nine years experience. He teaches English, and Coaches football, basketball, and track. Since he is single, he has the time to dedicate to school. The staff had several disagreeable experiences this year. Salaries, contracts, and budget cuts were areas of concern to the teachers who Filed a scries of grievances. However, the money shortage kept all of their dreams from coming true. 87 THIS PAGE: top Terrorist. Chandra Zarn holds her machine gun on business manager.

Many new activities were invented, one being the morp held in the late November. The morp was something new for everyone and proved to be quite successful. The purpose of the dance was to provide the local food pantry with canned goods for needy in the community. Admission to the dance cost three cans for a couple and two for singles. As the night came to an end several boxes of canned goods were collected. The morp attracted many students as it was the opposite of a prom. The girls asked the guys, and took them out to an inexpensive restaurant dressed in their raggiest clothes. Students approached the auditorium eagerly as the night began with much excitement and enthusiasm. While some students boogied out on the dance floor, others took the stage of being rock star. Although some band members were nervous, the anxious amateur lip-sync singers attention. First place went to Amy Grant (Colleen Campbell) and her back-ups (Shelly MacKenzie, Melisa Drugge, Kris Scott and Shelly Leo.), while second place went to the hard rock group, Loverboy (Lenny Buhman, Todd Malsam, Tim Stebar and Neil Weigand.) Certainly this event, which was so readily accepted, will be a backwards prom for years to come. 96 THIS PAGE: top Student Council members. Scott MacKenzie. Quint Boe.

This success was brought on by four hard-working classes and several organizations, who raised money by selling raf fle tickets, organizing pre-carnival money makers, and setting up booths. When all the money was counted, the seniors proved to be very aggressive, as they took the crown for the fourth consecutive year; an accomplishment not matched since 1969. The seniors owe much of their success to a superstition. As a freshman carnival candidate, Pat Schlageck was in desparate need for a dress to wear at the annual homecoming parade. It was at this time that she located a peach-colored dress which she wore for her carnival picture. Then, Dedra Gruszie wore the same dress the following year, as she had nothing else to wear. After winning for a second year, it was a must that the upcoming candidates wear the dress for their carnival photo; the next two years following, Colleen Campbell and Shelly MacKenzie wore the dress. Ironically, when Pat wore the dress her freshman year, she had it on backwards! This, along with each of the reigning queen's touch, must have aided them to their success. However, the senior class's success seemed to come to a hault the week prior to carnival. Several class members and the originally elected candidates. Queen Shelly MacKenzie and King Ronjendro, attended a USUAL keggar two week's before the carnival was to occur. After a week of the pressures , the candidates and eight other class members decided to confess their attendance at the keggar and face the given consequences; one of which was being suspended for fifteen days from all school activities. As a result, the candidates had to abdicate their candidacy and choose new representatives for the evening's event. Debbie Anderson and Matt Coy took the place of Shelly and Ron for the remaining carnival activities. In spite of the dampered spirits the keggar inflicted, the carnival was still fun-filled. Several highlights included the bubbly clowns. Shelly Leo and Beth Ortner, and the two master's of ceremonies, Melanie Smith and Melisa Drugge. who directed the variety show with great success by telling a few dry jokes. Furthermore, the classes provided some laughter for the audience at the variety show as several students from each class participated in a lip sync. The Sr. class's Dolly Parton (LeeAnna Wagner) had a big hit as she sang Two Doors Down . The Freshmen class's Whitney Houston (Suzy Sizemore) and her back-up's (Becky Graff and Kerry Larson) sang How Will I Know and captured the attention of the audience as they stepped onto stage in their mini-skirt, and sweater dresses with pumps. Two students managed to enter into the competition late. The combination, freshman-sophomore Wham (Dean Snow and Aaron Johnson) woke up the audience as they sang Wake Me Up Before You Go . After entertainment was provided by the classes and organizations, the reigning king and queen. Bob Cross and Colleen Campbell crowned the 1986 royalty, Matt Coy and Debbie Anderson. To finish the evening off, Connie Larson stepped on stage in a lucious pink formal and captured the awe of the audience as she sang Lionelle Richie's Say You, Say Me to the candidates and new king and queen.

For a class of independent individuals, getting together on a theme and colors for prom took hardwork and dedication. Finally, Lionel Richie's, Say You, Say Me” was the junior class’s decision for the theme song, while pink and grey were selected as colors that would accent any gym. However, the whole evening was not a success. On the morning of April twelvth, juniors and seniors woke to the sight of snow on the ground. As girls worried how they would manu-ever in their heels through three inches of snow, the guys wondered how to keep their white tuxedos white; and who wanted to cover elegant evening wear with a coat? The girls' dresses ranged in many fashionable styles with pink being the most popular. The guys chose predominantly white tuxedos with a bow and cumber-bund matching their date's dress. To further complicate things, the band had a late stan. SLICK TRICK, from Big Sandy, waited an hour for their bass guitar player to show, as students danced to a tape. After waiting, the band chose to play without him. Later that evening, a friend helped the band out with the bass that he knew. Certainly, everyone was curious as the coronation started. The queen candidates escorted by the kings marched in, and the drum roll began. Tim Stebar and Roxanne Tilleman reigned as the 1986 Prom King and Queen. After laughing through the 1:00 a.m. movie, BACK TO THE FUTURE, a 3:00 breakfast was served. The menu included cinnamon rolls, eggs and sausage bake, fruit kabobs. and juice prepared by the junior mothers. Obviously, the cold, messy weather, and the late band didn't hinder students from dancing the night away to a good time. These quirks only gave memorable character to the event. 100 Lionel Richie — Say You Say Me Starship — We Built This City Dire Straits — Money for Nothing You Done Good Kids! The Awards Assembly was not your ordinary one because an NBC news crew arrived to film the presentation of Lloyd Sweet Scholarships, which added excitement. Consequently, Chinook received coverage on National television. Besides recognizing students for participation in extracurricular endeavors, several scholarships were given. To avoid the risk of sounding like a grocery list, these scholarships, being too numerous to mention, do not have space here. However, the Casper Wendeln scholarship was a new memorial award going to a senior pursuing vocational study. Quint Boe received this award. Underclassmen honored included Ted Solem as a Boys State delegate. Also, Tim Stebar will attend Boys State. Then, Sonia Sharpies, Marla Anderson, Roxanne Tilleman, and Mel Smith may travel to Helena as alternates and delegates to Girls State. Later, people with high test scores, and honor letter winners were recognized. Earlier at the Sports Assemble, outstanding athletes received compliments. Four major awards were given. They included: Roxanne Tilleman as Outstanding Underclassman. Thomas Tilleman with the Tom Kezar Memorial, Jamie Neibauer received the Nei-bauer Memorial, and he Rhea Frey won the outstanding Senior Boy and Girl Athlete awards.

She quoted from the publication. A NATION AT RISK, leaving the message to her classmates that it is your work that determines how much and how well you learn. When you work to your full capacity, you can attain the knowledge and skills that will enable you to create your future and control your destiny. Then, Beth Ortner, valedictorian, told a small story that left the class with this thought: you already have the power to be the best that you can be; you only need to develop the assets you possess. On June 1, fifty Chinook High School seniors gathered together for the last time. The gym glowed with maroon and silver gowns. The audience sat fanning themselves as Duane Boe, the commencement speaker, stood at the podium convincing the class that they are the world. Finally, each graduate received his diploma and stood in a line holding his white rose tipped with pink. The hats came off and the hugs began. 103 Our Slang Vocabulary AMAZONfam e-zon’) - Any female showing an active interest in any male. AUS(awes) - Short for awesome- wonderful, great, WOW!
