v: Dazzling Dances The school year started off with a noisy reverie when Student Council sponsored the first New Year's Dance. This dance didn't bring in the new calendar year, but the new school year. However, party hats and horns were still issued to party goers who jammed until 12:00 a.m. The yearbook staff took advantage of the festive gathering to hand out the 1986 Breeze, which added to the festivity as old friends reacquainted and reminisced. Perhaps the huge success of this event will indicate the birth of a new tradition. It was certainly the spark needed to set off a series of other hot times. So. bring on the MORP. This backwards prom, where even the girls had to ask the guys for a date, was a success for the second year running. Instead of having fancy decorations and high class refreshments, there were graffiti painted signs and toilet paper streamers, as well as generic crackers and cheese. Then, rather than going out for an expensive meat at the Mediterranean, students went to such restaurants as McDonalds. Lip Syncs provided entertainment with many participants who had to pay a $5.00 entry fee. The Three B's . Brian Barber, Brad Stegmeier, and Beau Flom won first place taking the entry fees as a prize. The group's winning number was Bonjovi's You Give Love A Bad Name. But, the beat went on with costumes, costumes, and more costumes at the Halloween dance sponsored by NHS. Dancers came extremely disguised with one old lady keeping everyone in suspense with her realistic role playing antics. Because of her talent, Gretchen Anderson received a prize; however, the best costume award was split four ways. Maureen Schlageck dressed as a candy kiss, and Debi Matthews, Scott Brummer, and Lance Starr disguised as a silverware set shared top honors. The costumes weren't the only highlight of the dance, though. Bobbing for apples kept everyone laughing, too. A wet head and a ruined hairdo were of no concern to contestants who finally saw Dwain Tilleman win the event for fishing his apple out of the tub in the least amount of time. So, bop until you drop, and until next year, we ll keep you in suspense, puzzled about what we might do next. 26

THE FLOOD The September sun forgot to shine Rain clouds above didn't leave in time, Before long no one knew The City of Chinook. Where are you? The largest flood of this town The first record came tumbling down Water rose from everywhere Someone shouted, Hey we care! People flocked on all legs To help the homeless fill sandbags The National Guard was called out too To assist ordinary folk like me and you. The Valley was engulfed from west to east It was a flood to say the least The Milk River was renamed a lake There's no more water this land can take. Our football field looked like a moat A popular sight was the boat Students skipped school to help the few Whose homes and belongings looked nothing like new. The rain above began to cease Leaving water visible in every crease Low and behold appeared the sun Reagan declared, Let's give 'em funds Clean up crews were assembled around town The level of water was going down A while later it eventually disappeared It's a good thing it only happens every 32 years!!! by Ted Solem top- Dirk Druggc looks over the Milk River Valley from his uncle's place after a tremendous eight inches of ram fell in less than 24 hours on September 24th. Many people in the area including English teacher.
