And the school board had plenty to do with this subject since the rising cost of insurance forced the school board to face this issue. Because of this concern, the school board decided to cut many of the cus- toms of the student body. One of the most popular customs of the student body was the driving of cars to hot lunch. The school board defended this cut by stating that this would elimi- nate the possibility of car accidents involving the high school students at lunch time. The purpose of the “NO DRIV- ING rule is not to punish the stu- dents, but is mainly a precaution. The reason for this precaution is if an acci- dent should happen, the school dis- trict could not afford the legal issues such as law suits, attorney fees, and paying for damages if the school lost the case. The school is responsible for stu- dents from eight o’clock until eight minutes after three, which includes lunch hour. Although some students are responsible drivers, others are not. These irresponsible drivers were swerving at the fourth through eighth grade students, who are now being bussed to lunch. Fortunately, driving privileges are granted to a student during school hours, if his parents provide a pass for that day only. In spite of a general dissatisfaction about the new rule, no one has com- plained severely. In fact, Superinten- dent Haugen has received many posi- tive remarks toward the new rule. Another custom that the school board curtailed was the privilege of students with honor passes leaving the school ground. The school board said that since the school is responsi- ble for the students, they don’t want them running around town. This to is again supposed to eliminate acci- dents. In previous years, the owners of this privilege have been able to pretty much do as they please, within rea- son. They could go uptown, run an errand, go home and catch up on the latest soap, or take a nap. This year, however, they have much stricter rules by which to abide. For example, they are forbidden to leave school property, without a parentally signed note granting permission. And, of course, they are not permitted to drive anywhere. Needless to say, ask nearly any honor pass owner and they will declare that having an honor pass is barely an honor anymore. However, they are reluctantly honoring the loss of privileges. To relieve the pressure from law suits, the school board said that these steps were necessary. Until insurance goes down, the students will have to survive without these customs. Obvi- ously, CHS students suddenly felt boxed in as a result of the loss of these freedoms. top- Student Council welcomes back the new year at the summer picnic, as Germaine Gauthier.

Because of these restrictions, we no longer have the same luxuries. For example, monies for teaching sup- plies, extra curricular travel, library books and materials, and building maintenance and repairs have been reduced. One less teacher in the high school resulted in the princi- pal and guidance counselor becoming government teach- ers. The number of coaches was also reduced to one head varsity coach and one head junior varsity coach for each sport. Although the reductions put limits on Chinook High School, we still remain in good shape with everyone pulling together. lop- Judson Sharpies and Scott MacKenzie enjoy some of the fringe benefits provided at the Student Council picnic: to welcome the new and old teachers, left Erika Hewitt has chosen to work in the beautiful outdoors, instead of inside the Blaine County Health Department.

Relocation of Pop Machines by Chandra Zarn The pop machines, which used to be located in the study hall, have been relocated near the honor pass table. The general school public now has more access to them. Two advantages to this change include the Student Council's benefitting from the great profit increase, and the students’ be- ing able to purchase the pop anytime they want. When the pop machines were in the study hall, students could only buy pop before and after school and at noon. In addition, competition between the Coke and Pepsi products was evi- dent w ith the moving of the machines. First, the Pepsi machine moved downstairs, while the Coke machine still remained in the study hall. As a result, the Pepsi machine netted greater profit during this transition because students who wanted Coke products were too lazy to walk up- stairs, thus, settling for Pepsi pro- ducts. Therefore, it didn’t take long for the Coke machine to relocate near the honor pass table. However, the competition didn't stop there. From watching television, students could see the rivalry between the two companies, and they wanted to get involved. Consequently, after the Pepsi man gave free pop to honor pass students, the Coke man was ca- joled into meeting the Pepsi chal- lenge. Obviously, our promotion of free enterprise is in good shape. The Charter . by Trevor Cronk The school district decided to pur- chase a new charter bus after numer- ous complaints from students who had to ride the old piece of junk. The older charter was decaying and had to be repaired frequently. It was a dread to ride because of the uncomfortable worn out seats. Not only did the old machine have to be repaired, but it broke down at numerous school events. Obviously Chinook was in need of a new charter. The school dis- trict voted upon and passed a motion to purchase a 1979 charter bus model equipped with air conditioning, a phone, and a restroom. The road trips are luxurious for Chinook students and problems are few. The art on the side of the bus, and orange and black Beeter man with the bold block let- ters, “Chinook Sugarbeeters”, make the bus look outrageous! Area com- munities have described the Beeters as going in style. Furthermore, the bus intimidates other towns as it rolls through them. A new sense of pride has been accepted by all Chinook stu- dents.

Short Patrol by Tammy Bergman The Student Council introduced a “Short Patror' to go along with the new rule of wearing shorts during September, April, and May. The sheriff-Judge was Scott Mackenzie with his baliff being Corey Steg- meier. The three jury members were Chandra Zarn, Peter Pula, and Dean Snow. The Short Patrolmen for the whole system were, Jason Ellington and Germaine Gauthier; Todd Peter- son and Fay Pula; Jim Finley and Becky Graff; and Trevor Cronk and Eloise Solem. The Short Patrolmen had to issue tickets to anyone who was violating the short law. There were certain rules which stu- dents had to follow. For example, some shorts which weren’t allowed were gym shorts, biker shorts, shorts higher than your arm’s length, and cut offs. The law offenders had to go to a trial and be tried as they pled. Not very many students broke the short law because they wore shorts which were legal. Some popular styles included Bermudas and dress shorts, with many of these having cuffs. By the end of the warm weather, there was only one major offender of this law, Michele Charney. Her opin- ion on the trial was, “It was kinda fun except for when they told me I couldn’t wear shorts for a week.” She was convicted on the charges of her shorts being too short and being a style of gym shorts. The new regula- tions instated by the CHS Student Council have had a positive impact on the shorts worn by the students. A New Dish • by Slcphanic Perry Students arriving at school on the first day noticed a new addition to the fouth side of the lawn. This appen- dage is a Public Broadcasting satel- lite. Started about three years ago, the project was instituted as a way to provide educational programming for jhc area as well as a way to broadcast local happenings such as sports events, school plays, and public meet- ings. The community was very in- volved in the long process of establish- ing the station. In fact, over 25 per- cent of the funds needed were raised locally while the rest came from a fed- eral grant. The equipment was finally installed in early August before school began. The large, circular white dish occu- pies a portion of the lawn on the south side of the school, while the program- ming equipment took over the former chair storage room in the auditorium. This leaves nowhere for the storage of the extra chairs when not in use, but this is no problem since most of the chairs are used for choir classes any- way. The new station is a real benefit to the community. Local production possibilities are endless, since live shows can be produced quite easily, and tapes of athletic events, meetings, or even community activities such as CPR training are probable. Coming events calendars as well as a variety of education, informative programs for all ages are currently broadcast through the station.

Heart of the School A Class Act Gretchcn Anderson Tammy Bergman Laura Bucklin Trevor Cronk by Trevor Cronk and Chandra Zarn The Senior Class of 1988 had its foundation in leadership and ability, and had a competitive edge. Not only were the Seniors leaders in the classroom, but they were also leaders throughout numerous school activities. During Homecoming Week, the Seniors showed together- ness in building their float entitled, “Every Tiger Has Its Day Also, during the Homecoming lip syncs, the Seniors were victorious in the class competition by barely beating the Freshmen. Leadership was further evident in the Senior class as the Student Council was led by Seniors. However, the Class of 1988 was known best for its com- petitive edge in the classroom. Therefore, teachers noted how each student made the next one strive to do his best in making each person a better student. Seniors were also busy with the big decisions regarding colleges, future plans, ACT’s, and senior portraits, which bottled up inside their minds causing a touch of Senioritis in all of them. Overall, the seniors were all shaped up and ready to enter the real world. Curt Anderson Brent Barber Scott Brummer Michelle Charney SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS. Judy Friede (secretary treasurer).

The participation they took in this vocal competi- tion best showed their spirit. Furthermore, homecoming was proof of the junior class’ spirit. The homecoming float com- mittee worked for weeks before coming up with the original theme, “We've Got the Tigers by the Tail , for the Simms Tigers. After working for over ten hours on their float (a red and black striped tiger hanging to a goal post by its tail), the class only received third place. Many of the students felt as though they had been “ripped- off . Then, homecoming brought about another class competi- tion, “The Battle of the Air Bands , where the juniors again received third place. Although the class received mostly third places, this didn’t make them third class students. Although most classes at CHS are proud of having togeth- erness and find a divided group to be a negative point, this class was proud about being split into many different groups, which they felt showed their individual thoughts and opin- ions; they were independent. In addition, this junior class has shown great enthusiasm as a working group during homecoming, carnival, and Junior Prom. They are sure to make marvelous seniors. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS.

The Life of the School by Angie Fischer The year started off with a bang for the sophomores. Final- ly, they were upperclassmen to someone. Luckily for the freshmen, though, the sophomores decided they really liked this bunch. Last year, a lot of the members of the class got in the swing of things by participating in various activities. For some, however, it took an extra year. One thing which the kids really plunged all of their effort into was building the class float for the homecoming parade. The float's theme was “FROST THEM FLAKES!”. The float consisted of a gigantic cereal box with Tony the Tiger on it and a cereal bowl with a spoon. The float, which was given second place by the judges, was thought of as the best float in the parade by many of the bystanders. The sophomores prid- ed themselves on their work, and they had every right to. Their work was excellent, not because one or two people worked on the float as if it were their project and no one else’s, but because everyone put effort into it. The sophomore class has stuck together through the good times and the bad. They cheered with each other when they succeeded in putting on an enjoyable Snoball and supported one another through the tragic deaths of their classmates Brian Brekke and Shawn Raty. Though the class of 90 has been through a lot and has not always gotten along with the upperclassmen, they will never be forgotten. The people in this class make up one of the best classes ever created.

The banner, “beware, you are now entering the Freshman dimension, indicated the Freshman desire for excellence. The class began by receiving first place in the Homecom- ing Float competition with their theme, “Beeters on the Hunt , which featured a Simms tiger in a jungle setting being hunted down by a Beeter football player. The stuffed animals on the float added a touch of animation to it, along with the silver and blue streamer waterfalls. Though there were times the Freshmen felt they would never Finish the float, they pitched in and got the job done. It was obvious that the freshman class didn't lack in enthu- siasm or sportsmanship. No matter what, you could bet that at least a small group of Freshmen would be there to cheer. Furthermore, their school spirit really shined through during spirit week when almost everyone avidly participated. As for academics, the Freshmen got an A. Starting the year quite shakily, they had to adjust, then they fit right in. The Freshmen also proved they were very talented. For example, Jodi Shockley, Jill VonEschen and Fermaine Gauthier, took second place with their lipsync of the Pee Wee Herman “Rap in the battle of the air bands. It never failed either that there was a large population of Freshmen at every dance. With all of their enthusiasim and hyper attitudes, the Freshmen will make for a great group of Sophomores!!!

Sweet was born in Ubet, Montana on October 16,1889. When he was a boy, his family moved to Chinook where he later graduated. After graduating from Stanford Uni- versity with a major in economics, he returned to Chinook where he worked his father's land and built a flour mill. Sweet joined the Navy in 1918 and never returned to Chinook. He then settled in Watsonville, California where he went into the auto-parts business. As the years went on. Sweet made a fortune from his dealings in the stock market. In 1926 Sweet's mother gave eight lots to Chinook which were later devel- oped into Ensign Sweet Memorial Park, for the site of a Girl Scout Little House. Later Sweet gave money to the Chinook Lions Club for mainte- nance of the park. At the request of Lloyd Sweet local people formed the Sweet Memorial Nursing Home in 1966. In 1971 the Sweet Educational Foundation was created. Every year at Awards Ceremony scholarships are awarded to graduates to assist them in further education. In 1986 the 1,000,000 mark was reached in scholarships presented un- der this program and was covered by the NBC Nightly News. Although Lloyd D.

BN Linkup with Subsidiary Burlington Northern Railroad will lease its track across the HI-Line to a subsidiary as part of a BN union bust- ing effort. Some people think it is a phony setup to sidestep labor con- tracts. Winonna Bridge Railway Co., the BN subsidiary, will operate with smaller crew sizes, and labor costs will be much lower than BN’s be- cause of the linkup. The firm will lease 1,850 miles of track between St. Paul and Seattle. Although the firm’s name will remain the same, it's purpose and headquar- ters will be changed. BN will supply the money and the equipment necessary for Winonna Bridge Railways to handle its new re- sponsibilities. Traffic will be delivered at either St. Paul, Seattle, or Spokane and will travel across the Hi-Line during non- peak hours. Plane Crash Kills Three On Wednesday, February 3, 1988, a Federal Reserve plane vanished during a snowstorm. The aircraft was bound from Missoula, Montana to Helena. The purpose of the flight was to deliver canceled checks to the Fed- eral Reserve Bank office in Helena. Apparently the pilot of the twin- engine Cessna 421 overshot the He- lena Valley. The plane went over the Elkhorn Mountains and crashed dur- ing its attempt to return and make an instrumental landing at Helena Re- gional Airport. The bodies from the wreck were re- covered on Saturday, February 6 in the Elkhorn Mountains about 17 miles southeast of Helena. The pilot was identified as Dan Gail, 51, and the Co-pilot as Tony Engler, 30, both from Missoula. The only passenger was Richard Gaither, 33, of Lynn- wood, Washington. The “Board” of Education As a result of many negative incidents occurring at Chinook High School, all students are now required to carry an eight inch piece of wood with them to the bath- room if they need to leave during classes. This is due to the fact that a near catastrophe developed when four gas jets were turned on in the chemistry science room during a home basketball game. Incidentally, when gas mixes with air, an explosion occurs which we are so lucky didn’t hap- pen. In addition, many cases of vandalism and robbery have taken action. Furthermore, the school doors and the cage are closed and locked at 3:45, to keep intruders out. As it so happens, the students do not enjoy these arrange- ments, but is the school “Board going to take further action? Zell a M. Barnhill Fan, Dies Funeral services for Zella M. Barnhill, seventy-nine, were held February 29, 1988 at St. Gabriel’s Catholic Church. She died February 25, 1988. She was born July 6, 1908 in Medford, Oklahoma where she attended school and graduated from Medford High School, while also working as a telephone operator for many years. In 1932, she married Burdette Barnhill on February 28, 1932 in Manchester, OK. They came to Montana in 1938 where she lived in Bozeman, South Havre, and Chinook since the 1950’s. Mrs. Barnhill was very active in the community, serving as a member of the Legion of Mary of St. Gabriel’s Catho- lic Church, the Chinook Garden Club, and Senior Citi- zens. She and her husband, Barney, were the biggest girls basketball fans in Chinook. The only game they missed was a game at Browning. To the Girls Basketball Team they’re a very special couple and will always be remem- bered. Because of this special relationship, Barney chose to have the girls basketball team serve as honorary pall bearers for his wife. Therefore, the team was excused from classes during that time to attend the funeral. top- Carmen Holfeldt models the new fashionable bathroom pass in front of the Gals room; better hurry Carmen, you might get caught not tending to business! bottom- Jill VonEschcn finds Mr. Swenumson's lecture on a short story unit captivating during freshman English. Titanic’s Safe Recovery In September of 1985 the sunken Titanic was discovered. At that time, nothing of any value was brought up from the wreck. However, on October 28, 1987 a safe and satchel containing banknotes, jewelry, and coins were re- covered. The safe, which held many gold- colored British coins, was a purser’s safe. A satchel that was opened con- tained jewelry, American currency, a stickpin, a bracelet, and a watch. The unveiling of the satchel and the safe from the Titanic took place on live television. On this program, other artifacts from this sunken ship were viewed, such as the giant bell, china, silver serving trays, and porthole cov- ers. Including in America, the televi- sion program was viewed in Brazil, Canada, Argentina, Italy, Peru, Aus- tralia, and in Hong Kong. However, France refused to broadcast the pro- gram because they felt the event was comparable to digging up a grave. CBS Is “Rather” Biased On the battleground named “po- litical campaigning”, are candidates no longer ‘Fighting the media. In the 1988 Presidential Campaign, it seems this way. First, the newspaper media ex- posed an affair between Gary Hart and Donna Rice that eventually led to the withdrawal from the presidential race for Democratic candidate Gary Hart. Even though Hart wasn’t kept down for long, (he re-entered the race with the slogan “let the people decide, not the media”), the repercussions to his campaign were obvious. Next, in early 1988, Dan Rather, of CBS news, and George Bush, a GOP presidential hopeful, verbally clashed on a live TV interview. The interview was planned by CBS to give all presidential candidates equal air time to discuss their campaigns. Bush claims that he wasn’t informed that the Iran-Contra affair would be dis- cussed. CBS claims that they did in- form Mr. Bush of possible questions at the affair. When Mr. Rather ques- tioned Mr. Bush about whether he be- lieved the public questioned his in- volvement in the scandalous affair. Bush became angry. Bush then threw a jab at Rather about his unprofes- sional manner in handling a situation where Rather walked off of the set, and left the TV screens of millions of people blank for six minutes. To con- clude the nine minute shouting match, Mr. Rather interrupted Mr. Bush in mid-sentence. Some people believe that the media is becoming too powerful. Other ar- gue that the media is fair, but most agree that the media is becoming too much a part of the process it is cover- ing; the media is becoming TOO po- litical. Even though it is the media’s job to present an issue to the public, it is not the media’s job to become a part of the issue being covered. Did the Bush-Rather confrontation help hinder anyone? It seems that the short term benefits are awarded ' to Bush, who used this issue to strengthen his “not-so-tough-guy” image. However, the question about Bush's involvement in the Iran-Con- tra affair was revived and could possi- bly provide some negative effects for this Republican presidential candi- date. When attacked, the media has a way of defending itself that could prove costly to the attackers- they al- ways have the last word. Volatile Escort Service On Friday October 23, a Kuwait- owned tanker flying the U.S. flag was attacked by what U.S. Officials as- sume was the work of Iran. This was not the end of the attacks, and be- cause of this the White House started talking about retaliation. After long talks amid the heads of state in Wash- ington D C., the U.S. then decided to bomb two oil platforms owned by Iran. Many fear that this little display of world politics will result in another war. What happens next is anybody’s clue, and the world apprehensively awaits for the next move. Jimmy “the Greek” Schnider Famous and long standing sports odds maker, Jimmy “the Greek” Schnider. was fired in January after making controversial statements about black people. W hile discussing the topic of how few black managers that there are in professional football, “the Greek” said that the managerial positions w ere all that was left for white people. He said that during the civil war blacks were bred to be strong and ath- letic and that white people could be the kind of athletes that black people are, but they are too lazy to work. The next day Jimmy was fired because of his remarks. When asked about the issue, Jim- my said that he meant his words as praise to the black athlete and in no way intended for them to be degrad- ing. Preceding the issue, Jimmy “the Greek had appeared on many half time shows and sports shows to pick his odds. This time it seems that Jim- my himself was the odd man out. Scandal Uncovered by the Press Jimmy Swaggart, co-paster of the Family Worship Center in Baton Rouge, has been ordered by the hier- archy of the Assemblies of God church to begin a two-year rehabilita- tion that will limit his preaching and place him in counseling. Louisiana District supervisor Cecil Janway made the announcement after meeting with Swaggart, who was accused of sexual misconduct and admitted to unspecified sins. Jan- way said that, because of Swaggarfs true humility and repentance the Louisiana District Council has of- fered him rehabilitation. Swaggarfs rehabilitation will consist of three members of the Louisiana District Presbytery during the two-year peri- od. The photographs allegedly showing Swaggart with a prostitute reportedly were submitted to church officials by New Orleans evangelist Marvin Gor- man. who had once filed a $90 million suit against Swaggart, claiming Swaggart had unjustly accused him of numerous affairs. W hile Swaggart didn’t actually en- gage in sexual intercourse, he did pay a known prostitute to perform porno- graphic acts. His sexual misconduct has endured for several years and even though he tried to do everything he could to lick it, it defeated him. Obviously, from the affairs that the press have uncovered, presidential candidates and evangelists aren't sainted citizens, but are instead peo- ple with flaws like everyone else. Super Bowl XXII Supcrbowl XXII between the Washington Redskins and Denver Broncos was expected to be a very close affair. It matched two highly rated teams in what was expected to be one of the closest Superbowls in history. Denver was led by their superstar quarterback, John Elway, whose rifle arm and nimble legs made him one of the best in the NFL. Washington, on the other hand, had suffered through many quarterback changes over the year before head coach, Joe Gibbs, defense. Undaunted, Williams took the first snap from center and calmly rifled an 80 yard touchdown pass to Rickey Sanders. This was the begin- ning of the end for Denver. The Washington defense stiffened and the Redskin offense returned to the field. This time Williams engineered a 60 yard drive which ended with a 40 yard T.D. pass to Gary Clark. In the quarter Washington scored three more times for 35 points in the second quarter, setting a Superbowl record. The Washington defense dominated the game which was effec- tively over at half time. The Washing- ton offense scored once more for good measure. The game ended 42-10. benched starter. Jay Shraeder in fa- vor of reserved Q.B., Doug Williams. Williams became the first black ever to start at quarterback in Superbowl history. The game started quickly as Den- ver jumped out to a quick 7-0 lead on a long pass from Elway to Rickey Na- tiele on their first possession of the game. The score was the fastest ever recorded in Supcrbowl history. Denver quickly regained the ball and marched down the field. The drive ended with a Denver field goal increasing their lead to 10-0 as the quarter ended. Things looked bad for Washington as the second quarter began. Wil- liams and Co. took the field facing a 10-0 deficit and a fired up Denver FUN WITH FADS Television, movies, and magazines all influenced the students at CHS to have fun with their fashion. Clothes obviously make or break the man. and this year they really made it with Safari prints, that brought out the animal in all of us these prints were worn with a mixture of neutral khaki and army greens. Tans and blacks further accented this years back-to-school fashions. Sweatshirts made a comeback this fall. Worn layered or alone, the colors still shone brightly. These sweatshirts frequently accented Levi Jeans, which are obviously herei to stay, now in colors from yellow to pink! Stonewashed jeans were also tremendously popular. Guys were also hot in the fashion scene with their per- fect pinks and grays and with their designer sweaters. Plus, PEPSI, COCA-COLA, GUESS, and GOTCHA logo shirts were constantly competing in a variety of col- ors, for guys and girls. No matter what size, or brand, or what color, jean jackets were definitely in. They were worn in the fall to take the chill out of the air. During the winter, coats that weren't lined were worn over sweatshirts to allow students to still be fashionable in the brisk Montana winter air. Since granola is said to be natural, the natural look, was naturally called the granola. A loose cream or green sweater worn with wool pants created the body of the outfit. The footwear consisted of loafers, hiking boots, or casual boots with thick cotton socks. The clothing was mostly natural looking to blend in with the outside envi- ronment. In addition, a wide range of accessories accented the fashion scene. Black Hills gold was very popular worn in rings and necklaces. Eyewear also took a different tw ist, not in glasses but in contacts. Colored contacts enhanced the color of the eyes in brown, aqua, and blue. In wrist wear, the students created friendship bracelets to give to their close companions. The bracelets were made out of colorful embroidery floss knotted together to create the fun look of '88! Also in wrist wear were Swatch Watches, which in simple terms are colorful watches with a thick band-aid protector going across the face. However, the students at C HS didn't just wear one; they wore many at a time to brighten up the arm. Then, hair accessories boomed starting with the crimper, the iron that put small waves in the hair. On days a gal didn't get up on time, she wore barrettes, on top of her head or on the side. Banana clips still added a touch of flare to student’s style. Furthermore, slouch socks went with laceless granny sneakers. These socks in dazzling colors have special gath- erings making it slouch in the ankle. However, fashion fads were not the only ones followed by CHS students. Students were connoisseurs of food. Although the fads in food weren’t the least big gourmet, they were sure good! For those hot days, frozen yogurt on a stick, in a cone, or in a cup brought smiles to hot faces. Dairy Queen also made a hit with the Blizzard, an ice cream delight made with added candy bars. Mexican was the word for '88 with the main place to eat being Taco Johns and the new fad being nacho cheese. Nacho cheese went on chips,french fries, and anything else that needed added zest! Nutrition was also important so everyone turned to granola to slim the waist.

This suspenseful drama featured Anne Archer, Glenn Close, and Michael Douglas. Archer played a fiercely protective wife of Manhattan lawyer, Michael Douglas, who had a lusty affair with a high powered book editor, Glenn Close. After a steamy one night affair, Glenn Close becomes obsessed with Michael Douglas. Douglas realizes his mistake and tries to terminate all ties with Close. Her psychological disturbance turns into the worst nightmare of Douglas’s life when Close begins to terrorize his family, ending very tragically for all involved. This movie, for many of its viewers, was too “close to home. It was a real life drama that is, unfortunately, a very accurate account of today’s society.

DIRTY DANCING Dances Its Way into People’s Hearts This love story, set at a Catskill resort in 1963; inte- grates dance and drama better than any movie since SAT- URDAY NIGHT FEVER. A shy, smart princess with a social conscience (Jennifer Grey) discovers musical raun- chy and sexual passion and gets a lesson in class conscious- ness when she falls for the resort’s dance instructor, John- ny Castle (Patrick Swayze), a hunk from the wrong side of the tracks. DIRTY DANCING is both touching, with its honest story of a vulnerable teenager who develops a crush on an older man while on a family vacation, and titillating, with raunchy scenes of “social dancing set to a rhythm-and- blues beat.

This award goes to the musician who has done the most to provide entertainment to the country music fans. Reba McEntire received the favorite female singer award. This is the fourth year in a row she has won such honors. Randy Travis won the favorite male singer award. Overall, the awards presented to the top artists reflected the superiority for which they strived. The competition was tough, but the singers managed to pull to the top of the country hits to prove that they definitely have what it takes to make the tops of the country pops. A TEAM THAT sffliykMer i mk Homecoming is Top Gun “Success was the only word used at the 1987 CHS Homecoming. Although all of the night activities were well prepared and attended, the sporting events made it all successful. The football team trounced Simms with a 31 -12 victory. The team played very well with the offense performing exceptionally. Then, the girls basketball team had two victories during the Homecoming weekend. On Friday night they whipped Havre with a 68-47 score, and Saturday night the girls traveled to Fort Benton and beat the Longhorns with a 76- 57 victory. For the night activities during the week, everyone en- joyed games and races on Monday and Battle of the Air Bands on Tuesday.

The football team was rowdy, and along with the cheerleaders, they got everyone pepped up. For the days activities, the student body showed school spirit by dressing up in incognito on Monday, by wearing their clothes backwards on Tuesday and by creating a Wild Do day for Wednesday. There was no school Thurs- day because of Parent-Teacher Conferences, but Friday was dress up day as well as the busiest day of the week after the Pep Assembly, Coronation and Parade taking place after lunch.

Mathematical Mind Puzzlers By Jodi Stanley If people do not think of Algebra, Geometry, or Junior and Senior math as fun, they must not attend Chinook High School! Whether it’s serious work or fun learning, Mrs. Monson and Mr. Blankinship know how to liv- en up their class with computer games, graphic examples and special- ized exams to test our skills. Honors math was developed by Mrs. Monson to test students knowl- edge on a variety of things from com- puter concepts to mind teasing prob- lems; for example, a small green worm, trying to climb out of a jar 10 centimeters above the bottom of the jar. During one day, the worm climbs upward log6 36 centimeters plus log2 1 8 centimeters, slides downward log3 3 3 centimeters, and finally climbs upward again log4 2 centi- meters. Where was the worm located at the end of the day? Of course the correct answer is that the worm was in the same place as where he had started. The program is entirely vol- unteer and meet every Monday to ready themselves for college. Mr. Blankinship is using filmstrips this year to augment mathematical concepts for his students. Out of the 185 students at CHS, Mr. Blankin- ship is proud to say he has 115 of them attending his classes each day. All in all, we students believe that no matter how you add up these great teachers it always equals fun. top- Mr. Blankinship. left-Charlotte LaTray looks up in confusion as the concepts of pre-algebra are explained to her. right- Jodi Shockley snick- ers quietly to herself as she realizes the test is a breeze.

The more the student knows about computers, the better he will be able to function in our modern society. Moving with this national flow of technological advancements, Chinook exchanged the small computer room between the typing room and the accounting room with the large typing room. Since typewriters are considered obsolete, the business teachers decided that the typewriters should be moved over, and computers should “get the spotlight . With this change, Mrs. Jacobson started using mostly the IBM PC's. Only six weeks at the beginning of the year are devoted to typewriters. Along with this change, the word processor, data base, and spread sheet programs have all been updated to reflect the recent technology. These updates not only allow for many advanced functions but also feature “pull-down menus which help the operator remember the function keys. In the face of this intimidating technology, Mrs. Jacobson has continued a motivat- ing program from last year called the “Student of the Month . The program “motivates some students to put in a little extra effort in their work as well as on their attitude. “It’s important to remember that the best academic students aren't the only ones that can earn the award! Obviously, the age of the future is coming to a head, and with the changes that CHS has made, the students should be in good stead. New Teacher, New Ideas Mrs. Miller, one of the teachers in the English department of CHS. has taken on a new project for her Senior English class. She assigned them the task of picking a children's book that has a lesson in it that could be beneficial to them as young adults. The students picked such books as THE FALL OF FREDDIE THE LEAF by Leo Buscaglia, or THE GIVING TREE by Shel Silverstein. After reading the book, students had to tell the class what it was about and what lesson is to be learned, using note cards as the only reference. The students were graded on the arrangement of the piece, the rhythm of it, their projection of emotions,and proper pronunciation of the words. After hearing all of the stories the students then wrote papers on the importance of children's books. Similar speaking projects were performed from Aesop's Fables, which were warm-up activities for speeches the seniors gave on their government paper topics. Another thing Mrs. Miller has done this year that she didn't do last year was to make overheads of writing assignments; then the w hole class corrected them on the screen. To further encourage students to find and correct their grammatical and mechanical errors, Mrs. Miller indicated these errors with a red check mark in the margin for every error contained in that line of writing. Students had to identify and repair those mistakes and then resubmit the paper for a grade. Mrs. Miller was leaching junior English for the first time this year and over sched- uled the curriculum so that the students didn't have time to complete the usual term paper, which didn't hurt anyone’s feelings. However, those students will do a term paper next year so there’s no escaping it! The other English teacher, Mr. Swenumson, kept the underclassmen busy with his innovative techniques. One of Mr. Swenumson's favorite ways to make the learning process more enjoyable was the creation of crossword puzzles to test and recall key concepts. In addition, he kept young minds limber with brain teasers or mouse jokes on his daily calendar. For example, you solve the mind bender: IS IS IS IS IS IS IS IS IS IS COURT, or try this joke from A VERY MICE JOKE BOOK: What happens when ten mice meet 100 cats? Mr. Swenumson also held a “guess- 'Em-Like-You-Know-What-You're-Doing Con- test for all basketball wizards. Entries had to write down the name of the one that they thought would win the NCAA Basketball Tournament.and point total. The winner received a book or magazine who's cost did not exceed $14.95. Some of these calisthenics of the mind are probably carry-overs from Mr. Swenum- son’s being a coach, but he kept his students on their toes and in shape. top- Mrs. Miller, Mr. Swenumson. left- Pau- line Fisher doesn't appreciate the sarcastic comments coming from off camera, Jodi Stan- ley. while they work on a Spanish exercise, bot- tom- Rob Jenks is dreading the outcome of the number which he is drawing for speech delivery order of original topics while Maureen Schla- geck doubts her chances for the best position.

Because CHS welcomed Mr. Mortensen, the new Span- ish teacher from Denver� Spanish was fun for everyone involved. Spanish students expanded their horizons and realized that the world does not end when they reach the border. Spanish students spent their time learning about Span- ish culture, Spanish war gods, and made a variety of Span- ish food, such as homemade tortillas, enchiladas, and a homemade Spanish pudding called flan. Mr. Mortensen tried hard to involve every student, ev- ery day and tried to mix fun into the learning process to keep enthusiasm high, as in memory games for points, Spanish charades, and speed relays. The Spanish department hopes to see many more fun years of Spanish in the future. “Adios amigos, les veremos el ano proximo, which translated to English means, good- bye friends, see you next year! Creative and Culinary Arts Art Class Masters the Arts The CHS art class was very busy in '88. The class did many sketches with pencils and chalk, along with some painting, etched glass, and dabbled in pottery. Many of the drawings made by the students were hung up on the bulletin boards or were on display in the hall, especially at holiday time when witches or elves glared and pecked around every comer. Mr. Sestrich, in his second year of teaching at CHS, enjoyed all of his students and their improve- ment during second semester. Some students showed so much improvement that they were able to win awards. For example, junior, Arcelia Miller, entered an art exhibit at the Harlem Seed Show where she won Best of Show - Outstanding honors in the Art Youth division for her pen and ink sketches of her spider plant tubers. Overall, the CHS art class had a lot of class with all the talent in the group. New and Improved! “Sew” Hot! by Kathie Gruszie and Kerry Larsen The Home-Ec food class, under the instruction of Ka- ren Covert, began the year by studying global concern. Students represented countries and served a feast from that country. In some cases, the feast served was consid- ered a meal of poverty. The clothing department used, along with their basic sewing machines, a Surger and a computerized sewing machine. Students in clothing selected the style of cloth- ing they wanted, and progress at their own pace. Ms. Covert states that her classes cover everything from “safe- ty to soup and nuts.”, and with the help of grants, this vocation program will offer even more for CHS students. Prior to 1984, the vocational education programs were federally funded based on the population of students en- rolled in the various departments. In 1984, Carl Perkins came up with the idea to disburse federal money through the states. Each school would file for grants, and money would be awarded accordingly. Chinook High School ap- plied for three grants and was one of a very few to receive all of the grants. For the First grant, the school district had to come up with matching funds for the Vo-Ag, Home-Ec, business. top Miss Covert, left- Mclyssa Haux and Ar- celia Miller get out the sewing machines and thread the bobbins during clothing class.

The second grant was a full funded grant that allowed Ms. Covert $2511.00 to review several curriculums and to write a specific one for Chinook. A third grant was a Consumer Home-making grant for economically depressed counties in Montana. Because of the long drought and sudden flood, Blaine County was considered one of the economically depressed areas. The fully funded grant for $4400 will allow eight to ten students to travel to a metropolitan area and witness the wide variety of uses of home economics. A trip to Denver in the early part of June was tentatively planned. Some possible tours include the FDA, a nutritionists from one of the professional athletic teams, an interview with a well-known attorney and Home Economist, and the Dairy Council. Students began to apply in February by writing a series of papers on an aspect of Home Economics. Stu- dents will do follow up work by reporting on their field trip to the studenl body, the newspaper, and the local civics organizations. This field trip will put the students in excel- lent “shape” to deal with a possible future in Home Eco- nomics. Those Who Don’t Learn History . . . Are DOOMED to Retake It!! by John Duke The government and history classes had a different appearance this year. The lack of finances forced the school board into a predicament where they ended up with no teacher for history and government. This ac- tion caused the burden of teaching to be shifted onto other people already working for the school. With rearranging English class schedules, Mr. Swenumson was able to teach American History. The World History teaching was per- formed by Mr. O'Brien, while the load for government fell upon the shoulders of the principal, Gary Smith and the high school Counselor, Mr. Whisonant. With these unusual teachers, the students had a foreshad- owing of the class times to come. The government students worst nightmares came true with the an- nouncement that all government stu- dents must turn in a term paper. Withstanding the bombardment of threats against personal property, boycott of the paper, and constant complaints, the teachers held firm with the decision. This decision did not go well with very unhappy stu- dents. Although the students were not pleased with the project, all students turned in their papers at the risk of failure, otherwise. Despite the term paper the govern- ment teachers tried to teach the stu- dents the basic principles of the U.S. Government and how to be a good citizen in such a system. Meanwhile, the history teacher’s main objective was to make the stu- dents aware of the country’s past mis- takes and triumphs. Students learned by the old cliche, “people who don’t know the past are doomed to relive it.” left- Mr. Swenumson lectures about the Marshal Plan during 7th period American History and tries to point out the effects of the Russian Containment Policy, right- “I Love Chemistry!” seems to be Brian Lowen’s sentiment as Jill McCauley does all the work, bottom- Tino Barber proves that he’s not all laughs by exhibit- ing a rare studious part of his personality.

Science classes were entertaining and informing under the leadership of Ms. Swant and Mr. Olsen. Physical science students were busy making mayonnaise, after shave, and soap, and measuring acidity, while chemistry students spent hours figuring mole problems and learning how to read and understand the Periodic Table. They also measured the conductivity of different ions. If the pre- pared solution was a good conductor, it could light a light bulb. After another experiment, Gretchen Anderson and Stcph Perry, who did not douse their paper before dispos- al, managed to start the garbage can on fire. The combus- tible chemical remaining from the experiment ignited with the oxygen in the air. However, the only real red was not from fire but from the embarrassment on the two girls faces! At the end of the hall, Advanced Biology did dissecting and went bird watching. Obviously, everyone was getting into shape intellectual- ly. Music Makes Life Worthwhile by Chris Elliot The enrollment of the choir was still on the increase, especially with lots of freshmen coming into the high school. The choir had to retain its reputation, and it cer- tainly did when Marc Gauthier was chosen for All-State Choir in Billings. Then, in the fall, they busied themselves with taping for District Honor Choir in Cut Bank. The people that were selected were basses, Marc Gauthier, Faron Henderson; tenor, Trevor Cronk; altos, Gretchen Anderson, Steph Perry, Pam Gruszie; and sopranos, Kathie Gruszie, Mi- chele Medlin, Dawn Marchuk, and Lea Upshaw. A fall concert on November 17 was a salute to the Constitution. All songs sung had to do with our freedom and our rights. The choir sang “God Bless the U.S.A.,” “American Salute,” “American Portrait,” and “America Depends on You and Me.” A few selected seniors; Peter Pula, Eloise Solem, Laura Bucklin, and Chandra Zarn gave speeches on what the Constitution means to them, CHOIR.

In addition, the Christmas Concert on December 15, consisting of a community sing-a-long with cookies and refreshments provided by the choir and band students, brought a number of people out of their homes. Women’s and Men’s Ensemble performed at both of these concerts at and the Community Choir Concert. Both groups also sang for the Mason’s and sang around town, which provided good public relations for them. Because this was the first year of having a Freshman Girl’s Ensemble of twelve participants, their performance schedule was less demanding as time was spent for prep- aration. Finally, choir festival was in Havre on April 15 and 16. The choir performed “Sing No More Sadness” and “Make Me an Instrument.” Fourteen people participated in solos and six groups sang duets. Overall the choir had a busy schedule and accomplished their goals with success. The Grand OF Band by Frances Ncmes The Chinook High School band under the direction of Mr. Larry Larson, a former CHS student and graduate of 1974 who recently taught in North Dakota, had a most unusual but exciting year. Mr. Larson brought many new ideas to Chinook band which went from performing a half time show at Home- coming, to playing Christmas carols around a Christmas tree at a town gathering. The band lost seven seniors but gained just as many freshmen to move the toll up to thirty- six members. Although a lot of talent was lost with the seniors gone, the old members and the new ones soon adapted to the change and now hold steady positions in the group. The pep band was in full force playing for girls and boys basketball, as well as wrestling, football, and volleyball. They had some additions to the regular pep music, such as “Glory of Love,” “Everybody Have Fun Tonight”, “You Give Love a Bad Name,” among many others, which kept the excitement going for everyone. The concert band per- formed the fall, winter, and spring concerts as well as for a Veterans Day honorarium and for District Music Festival. Not only did the concert band perform at the festival, but also did many of the students with solos and ensembles. The Jazz band, although not participating in the festi- val, had a very challenging year. It performed for a politi- cal rally and at the carnival night show, which proved that the members gave that extra time and effort to perform and should be proud of all their accomplishments. Many things were learned this year including how to march and play an instrument at the same time, how to use a metronome, and how to play almost every scale, adn, most importantly, how to play your best and have fun at the same lime. Band was held fourth period this year so everyone was pretty much awake and raring to go. Some all time favorite songs include “Wang Chung”, “Java”, and “Walk like an Egyptian”. Overall, the band had a very successful and fulfilling year, making for a future full of goals, dreams, and aspira- tions to work towards. BAND. LYING DOWN. Mr. Larry Larson (director).

If not, ask a Vo-Ag II student, because plant identification was their topic of conversation for weeks, which any one of the them will tell you, was not easy! Welding, woodworking, and study- ing electrical and small engines are just a few of the other items a student would be learning in the various Vo- Ag classes offered. The students also learned that to call Mr. Lester the shop teacher was his pet peeve. And there was obviously more to the Vo- Ag curriculum than shop conducted lessons. The classes tested their farming knowledge with a device called a Range Simulator. This gave the stu- dents a chance to manage a farm. It told them when to feed the cows, when to breed, when to hunt, when to sell the animals, and even controlled their financial affairs! Another neces- sary item that requires the attention of a farmer is the condition of his soil. Determining how to fertilize this soil took a big part of Vo-Ag Ilfs time. The class measured the pH and the nitrogen and phosphorous content of the soil, therefore determining what supplements the soil required. Fur- thermore, in order to manage a farm, they had to know what to feed their farm animals, so they learned about animal nutrition and science. In spite of Mr. Lester’s valuable teaching skills, he lost his contract, which upset and saddened many. He and his teaching abilities will be missed. NO PAIN, NO GAIN by Jodi Stanley Running, stretching, and jumping is what you'd see if you walked into one of the PE. classes. Physical education is a very vivid part of the student’s education. The two P.E. teachers, Mr. Olsen and Mrs. O'Brien, try to expose the students to as many activities as possible, such as games, relays, and football, for the boys anyway. The girls were too rough in their football play, so they had their season canceled. Along with this physical pain and enjoyment, freshmen and sophomores also have a health class, where students learn about other people and their feelings, share stories, and learn more about themselves and their self- image. While the juniors were decorating for prom, the P.E. classes were left without a gym, but they soon recovered and found that playing Pictionary and bowling were also stimulating activities. CHS has the jump on many of the other small high schools in the physical education classes, so keep exercising and doing your best; it will pay off some day! top-Michele Mortcnson gets caught off guard as she keeps score for her team during sophomore bowling for P.E. middle left-Jason Foss is overjoyed with his winning poker hand, but Mr. Lester.

Don’t Say the “D” Word! by Chandra Zarn Deadlines came to be very stressful to yearbook mem- bers; they just completed a deadline, and the next one was due again! Although there were some close calls, yearbook advisor, Mrs. Miller and editor, Jeanette Frantal always seemed to come through. In some cases, extra meetings were required, and Easter vacation was cut short. Howev- er, due to people's grades being at stake, yearbook mem- bers would come in and work for extra credit. Along with the actual production of the yearbook, the staff was busy with fund raisers. They sold everything from chocolates, posters, and postcards to working conces- sions at the junior high basketball games and selling ads. The staff also had two booths at the carnival; they sold old pictures, and they created a scene for people to dress up like outlaws and have their picture taken. Carla Huff drew and painted a backdrop of a desert scene for that purpose. These activities and many more kept the staff busy throughout the year. Obviously the staff made it through the year with a very YEARBOOK STAFF. SEATED, Frances Nemes.

These students have put in their own free time for community services, such as the community chest drive or doing odd jobs. Furthermore, they display leadership abilities in such things as academics, sports, and governmental services. On May 10 in the Masonic Temple basement, after the Eastern Star served a meal which began with to- mato juice cocktail and was followed by roast beef, roast turkey, baked po- tato, green beans, fruit salad, dessert, and rolls and butter, and after guest speaker, Carol Elliot spoke about the need to take risks, the new members inducted in the society were initiated by having to perform a talent selec- tion for the spring banquet entertain- ment. As a result, Mike Jergeson played “Piza, Piza” on the piano, while Holly McCauley entertained the crowd with “Music Box Dancer”. Kerry Larsen performed “Moonlight Sonata” on the ebony and ivory, fol- lowed later by Michelle Mortenson’s selection, “Dorothy”. Then, singing duos were Dawn Marchuk and Steph- anie Perry with “Come Unto These Yellow Sands” and Trevor Cronk and Gretchen Anderson with “Verdant Meadows.” Instrumentals also showed up, starting with a flute en- semble called “Sonatina Giocosa”, consisting of Pauline Fisher, Becky Graff, Jodie Farmer, Michele Char- ney, and Kathie Gruszie. Next, Fran- ces Nemes delighted the audience with a trombone solo called “Andante et Allegro”. Other talents were dis- played by Rob Jenks, who spoke on “Obscenity versus the United States Supreme Court”, Brenda Moxley, who recited a poem entitled “Risk”, and Lesley Von Eschen and Jeanette Frantal, who acted out a skit from the Carol Burnett Show. After the talent performances, each initiate received special instruc- tions in scholarship, leadership, char- acter, and service during a candle- light ceremony to remind the new members that it is their responsibility to light the way for next year's poten- tial members. Then, they were given yellow roses and certificates, and their pictures were taken for publicity purposes. top - 1987 National Honor Society.

Spanish Club Heads South Under the direction of Mr. Mortenson, Spanish Club was very busy getting ready for their fourteen day tour to Mexico this summer. They drove to Denver where they caught a flight direct to Mexico. While in Mexico, they saw the sights in and around Mexico City. Their goal throughout the year was to earn enough money to take the trip. To achieve this goal, the club was very busy doing a number of fundraisers so that they could put their Spanish knowledge to use. The club sold dough- nuts every Tuesday and Thursday morning before school at the Honor Pass table; they had cake raffles, sold jewel- ry, sold submarine sandwiches, had a brunch, sold Christ- mas items, had a bake sale, and competed in an end- display contest at IGA store for Old El Paso brand pro- ducts. Hopefully the enthusiasm of this year’s members will carry on to next year. SPANISH CLUB. BOTTOM ROW: John Thomas. Ron Fischer. Carrie Gilmore. Jill McCauley, Mona Benbo, Jodi Stanley.

Starting in August, the group went on a three day camping trip in Glacier Park where they continually en- tertained the Park's animals. In November the group attended a leadership confer- ence in Malta w here they learned how to effectively fulfill their leadership roles. Next, FFAer's made their way southeast down to Bill- ings for the Montana Agriculture Trade Expedition (MATE), where they competed in the mechanics contest, a five hour long contest, and came in tenth out of fifty-six teams. Then, the Milk River District Convention was held in Chinook, and the Chinook Chapter did quite well at giving Hinsdale some heavy-duty competition. Chinook came in first in mechanics and second for the overall day. In April the state Convention in Bozeman offered judg- ing in livestock and crops, and mechanics competition. An annual event for the club involves the hunt for a ten foot tree for the high school foyer which is decorated at Christmas time with an ornament for every student with his name on it. Another service project the club performed was the collection of food for the local food pantry. As fund raising projects the FFA sold fruit, potatoes, had a slave auction, and did concessions at girls' basket- ball games. The group also sponsored the Donkey Basket- ball game. Advisor, Mr. Lester, taught this group all the benefits they could achieve from FFA, including leadership and communication ability. With ease and perfection, Mr. Lester taught this group rules, creeds, and all the jobs of a responsible FFA member, and all the grand achievements of the club prove that this is one advisor who “practices what he preaches. Way to go Mr. Lester and the Chinook FFA! Tradition and Change The Student Council made headlines by implementing someimportant changes which affected the whole school. These changes, along with Student Council organization, led to an enjoyable and successful year for the whole student body. The first change was the relocation of the pop machines in the hallway of the entrance of the school. Soda sales tripled, and everyone enjoyed the easy access to the beverages. In addition, a short patrol was established to keep the appearance of the wear appropriate for school. Also, any fundraisers by a class or organization in the school, first had to be approved by the Student Council. Furthermore, the Student Council decided to send one younger member of the council to the National Convention in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This event would establish some new leadership skills to be used in future Student Councils at CHS. The lucky individual representing Chinook is Chris Elliot. She will spend a week in June with 40 other delegates from Montana. Finally, school board members. Jack Frantal and Bruce Buhmann, visited student council meetings, addressing certain issues. They also asked for some input from Student Council on problems in the school. The two are the Student Relations Committee for the Senior board. Tentative plans for the second annual Spring Fling included: bowling, pool, volleyball, a wacky decathlon, tennis, and golf. The week of fun and activity was rounded out with a softball tournament followed by a student council sponsored BBQ at Zurich park and a dance. Following “tradition”, the faculty competed in each event as well as each individual class. Certainly, the Student Council made the year a fun one for everyone. They did a lot of hard work which benefitted the student body. Not only did they add changes to the school, but they carried on traditional activities as well. This Student Council surely set a good example for future Student Councils. top- Kathie Gruszie, Darryl Young, Peter Pula, Dean Snow, Tamm Bergman. Chris Elliot.

Trophies for the Mantelpiece by Michele Medlin “We may be small and young, but we are mighty” seemed an appropriate motto for the Speech and Drama team. What the team lacked in experienced members, they made up for in enthusiasm. This enthusiasm really shined forth individually with numerous awards put on display on mantlepieces around town. Although Speech Drama is an individual sport, the team really racked up the points together and aver- aged a solid third in the district. In divisional competition in Cut Bank, Mona Benbo and Carrie Gilmore received 5th place in Serious Duo, Steven Mulonet received 8th place in Humorous Solo, Jill McCauley received 8th in Serious Solo, Lisa Lowen received 2nd in pantomime, and Michele Medlin received 2nd, also in Serious Solo. How- ever, since only the top five places advance to State com- petition, Chinook only sent four of these competitors. Although Mona Benbo, Carrie Gilmore, Lisa Lowen, and Michele Medlin all worked hard, only Michele Med- lin made it to finals and placed seventh overall in the competition. These accomplishments would not have materialized without the leadership of Chuck Hewitt, the head coach, and Ruby Skoyen, the assistant coach, who provided the support and authority that the team needed to make the season go smoothly and successfully. Through their moti- vation, the Speech Drama members grew with exper- ience and with friends and found a new place to sow their oats. left- Rob Jenks performs his show. “Obscenity in our society”, and he appears to be getting the point across, top right- At the speech and drama open house.

The squads consisted of four juniors and four seniors. This greatly reduced the hassle of returning uni- forms every week and allowed the cheerleaders an oppor- tunity perform routines such as “Gimme Some Lovin'” with the pep band. However, the winter varsity cheer- leaders decided to “tough it out”, rotating squads and events every weekend. Overall, the general attitude to- ward the rotating schedules was better, although certain problems still existed. The cheerleaders came up with many different ways to promote school spirit and enthusiasm among students. For example, at the homecoming game, all twelve fall cheer- leaders performed a complete half-time show with the band. The performance required many noon practices and extra hours, but the time was well spent, as the half-time show was a big hit. Furthermore, after a few unsuccessful tries to pep up the student body with pep assemblies, the cheerleaders decided to add a new twist to the boy’s basketball and volleyball pep assembly. For a week before the assembly, signs were posted throughout the school regarding the identity of Simon. This aroused the curiosity of everyone, and at the pep assembly, Simon's identity was revealed. Simon (a.k.a. Mr. Blankinship) and Simon, Jr. (alias Daryl Young) stepped out and led the crowd in a yelling contest of “Simon Says” as a class competition. The ju- niors and seniors tied for first and received a prize of candy. Simon also led the crowd in cheering on the coaches and players. The pep assembly was a great suc- cess, and all the students were excited and enthusiastic which was a change from previous pep assemblies. Also, for Senior Parent's Night, all eight varsity cheer- leaders and four junior varsity cheerleaders cheered for the game, performing special routines and pyramids. The girls were a real crowd pleaser involved everyone in the game. With their new ideas and hard work, the cheerleaders prompted participation. Although it was difficult at times, the cheerleaders can honestly say, “Beeters are Fired up.” In conjunction with the cheerleaders, the pep club as- sisted with school sponsored activities. For the pep club, they year began with a bang when they elected new offi- cers and tried something different by electing class repre- sentatives. These representatives were chosen to represent each class in order to assist the cheerleaders in pepping up the crowd. In addition, pep club members not only did a superb job decorating lockers, but they also devised new methods of exciting the audience during pep rallies. All in all, the pep club did a superior job of getting things done and done very well. PEP CLUB. FRONT ROW.

REGAIN That Winning Attitude VIP. (VERY IMPROVED PLAYERS) By Levc Jones Training for the football season be- gan in the spring with many upper- classmen spending after school time in the weight room. This weight train- ing helped the team develop speed, endurance, agility, flexibility, and strength. Although the Beeters did not win all of their games, they did regain that winning attitude. Along with new coach, Mr. Jon Swenumson, and a new starting junior, John Thomas, a transfer from Glasgow, came a re- born winning feeling, which resulted in three solid victories. Although, the season started with a crushing 32-0 shutout to Wolf Point, in the next game the Beeters blasted Fort Benton 27-6. Jim Finley was the major offensive weapon, rushing for 189 yards on 26 carries for three touchdowns. The other score came on a nine yard pass from Brad Peterson to Dean Snow. In addition, Scott MacKenzie led the team defensively with 13 tackles including several quarterback sacks. MacKenzie also had five receptions for 80 yards on offense. Furthermore, Trever Cronk had 11 tackles, while Mike Jergeson, Scott Brummer, and Kent Dolezal each had six. Snow had one intercep- tion while Darin Hamilton had two. However, after the good must come the bad; the Beeters dropped the next three games in a row to Shelby, Mal- ta, and Conrad. After these three di- sastrous losses, the Beeters faced Simms in the Homecoming game. The game was preceded by a march- ing band show choreographed by Mr. Larry Larson the band director. With the band's introduction, the game was all Chinook with the Beeters winning 31-12. The Beeters had 274 yards of- fensively, while the hounding defense did not allow Simms to get a first down until late in the third quarter and held Simms to 50 yards rushing and 82 passing. The next game against Harlem was victorious, also. Mackenzie ran 86 yards with the opening kickoff for the first score. The Beeters went on to win 14-6. Then, the final game came with Cut Bank was the last game for the six seniors, so they were really emo- tionally up for the game. Unfortu- nately it proved too much; the Wolves won 35-12. Snow, after fumbling the kickoff, redeemed himself with a 90 yard run on another. Awards were granted to senior tight end Scott MacKenzie, who was selected to the first team District 5B All Conference football team, to Tre- vor Cronk who was selected to the second team as an offensive center, and to Scott Brummer who was sec- ond team defensive linebacker. Then, Lance Starr received honorable men- tion as an offensive guard; John Thomas, Darin Hamilton, and Mac- Kenzie were all honorable mention on defense. Although the season ended on a losing note, the Beeters enjoyed three great victories. The year before they lost all of their games, so this year was great in comparison. Next year, the Beeters will go in with a winning atti- tude looking for more wins to better the mark set by the football team. top- In the defensive crunch play Todd Peterson. 91.

Although they battled back and avoided early elimination ... THREE Wasn’t a Charm Once again the Sugarbeeters' girls basketball team was exceptionally talented. Although many people thought that the loss of three starters from the '87 state champion- ship team would be devastating to the Beeters, Coach Pat O'Brien knowlingly took all the available talent that he had and with the help of senior leaders, Stacey Shockley, Eloise Solem, and Michele Charney, formed a strong unit worthy of being called a team. Despite the fact that the season ended with a couple of shaky tournaments, the girls had a season of w hich they and their town should be proud. The season was highlighted by a number of victories over various challengers, but perhaps the most notable were the incredible thrashings of the Class A, Havre Blue Ponies. Because of Havre's recent change to Class A from Class AA, the Beeters received their first opportunity in many years to play their much larger neighbor, and the venture proved to be successful as the Beeters recorded overwhelming victories in each of their outings. Also falling into the wrath of the Beeters, were each and every team in the powerful 5B conference. The Harlem Wildcats were the first conference victims, trounced by a score of 76-34. The next match up was much closer as it saw a powerful team from Cut Bank fight to the end before losing to the lady Beeters. In a traditional spine tingling duel with long standing rivals, the Malta M'ettes, the girls suffered a heart breaking 54-56 loss on Malta's homecourt. However, the loss challenged the Beeter gals to practice harder, and that practice paid off well. The games following consisted of eleven straight victories for the well deserving Chinook team. Among those victories were crushings of the Class A Browning Indians and a sweet victory over the Malta M'ettes. Even though the regular season ended in a brilliant way statistically, the emotional level of the girls was at a defi- nite low. It was this low that brought the girl's tournament play to the level of their contenders. District action saw the Beeters lose to Cut Bank after receiving a bye in the first round. Saturday morning the girls rose to the occa- sion as they trashed Harlem in loser out action to put them into the consolation round. After losing to Malta and receiving fourth place in the tourney, the Beeters were forced to play the first place team from 6B, the Fairfield Eagles, in the first round at Divisionals and lost the hard fought battle. Once again the orange and black attack battled back and avoided early elimination by winning in a hair raiser with the Conrad Cowgirls in loser out action. Unfortunately, a State tournament berth was just not to be as the Beeters dropped their last game to Cut Bank. Without a doubt, their poor showing in tournament brought the Beeters down from cloud nine, but no team can be expected to stay on top forever. To the seniors, the season was a disappointment since their previous years were spent as State Champions. However, no one should hang their heads at a 16-6 record. The team went through a lot of victories together and unfortunately had to go through some defeats as well, but through it all the girls had a season that would have to be called successful. Next year’s team will certainly miss the talented seniors, but there's little doubt that Coach O'Brien will overcome and once again form a team that will represent Chinook well. top left- Kasan Miller and Michele Charney watch earnestly as Lesley Von Eschen thinks. “Oh no! what did I do!” as she misses a rebound in the game against Big Sandy, top right- Rasan Miller uses her gymnastic abilities to rebound the ball and keep it from Big Sandy to score for the Beelers, left- Stacey Shockley, who has four consecutive years of basketball backing her. goes up for a great two pointer, while Lesley Von Eschen watches the ball with tremendous awe. right-Nicki Gebcrt powers up a shot as Big Sandy can do nothing to stop her.

A record of seven wins and 13 losses leaves some room for improvement, hut BETWEEN the Lines, the Beeters Shine It's true that some people think that everything is black and white, or in our case black and orange, but the truth is that our boys basketball team is not that clear. Statistical- ly speaking, the boys were less than impressive. Certainly, a record of seven wins and thirteen losses leaves some room for improvement but it's what is between the lines that makes the Beeters shine. The team had talent but lacked in height. Scott Mac- kenzie handled the middle by pulling down huge numbers of rebounds and playing tough hand-in-face defense. The result of such defense was a record number of blocked shots. Michael Jergeson did well in his back-up role and is expected to be a strong player next year. The forward positions were covered by Trevor Cronk, Judson Sharpies, and Dean Snow. All three worked hard and split time as starters. Sharpies started out as an alternate but proved to be a very adequate varsity player and finished off the rest of the year as a member of the starting five. Although each of the three owned a great shot, none had the height that was necessary to be consistently successful in the inside, so the Beeters often were forced to play a perimeter game. Fortunately, the guard positions were filled with good shooters and talented ball handlers. Brad Peterson and Darin Hamilton. Once again, however, size proved to be a downfall. Therefore, because the Beeters had a limited number of options, other teams had little trouble with “figuring” them out. Seniors, Ray Leo and Marc Gauth- ier often helped solve this problem by offering a notable change to the Beeters style of play. Coach Olsen jokingly referred to Gauthier as the team's “spark plug” because of his continual optimism and impressive speed. He definite- ly had the ability to motivate his team. Leo, on the other hand, provided an aggressive touch to the offense because his blazing speed allowed him to take the lane now and then, thus, forcing the defense to be honest. An additional shine on the Beeter’s somewhat dismal season was the fact that many of their losses were by very narrow margins. For example, the team ended up on the short end of the two overtime games and lost several others by less than ten points. For the seniors, the season was surely a disappointment, but it wasn’t all bad. Despite their size, the boys managed to play very respectable bas- ketball of which they should be proud.

Coached by Kathy O'Brien, the girls were very intimidat- ing in the front row and very dedicated in the back. To- gether with a good serving percentage, Chinook had what it took to go all the way. Unfortunately, towards the end of the season, they got more than they bargained for, injur- ies. Although the season opened with a thrashing from Havre, the Beeters soon began planning a revenge. In the next meeting between the two, the Beeters claimed a victo- ry over the Pony Netters by the score of 15-4, 15-5. Pre- vious to that victory, however, was Chinook’s invitational tournament w here the girls defeated Harlem (15-6, 15-3), Wolf Point (15-7, 15-7), Cut Bank (15-13, 15-5), Brown- ing (15-7, 15-5), and class A Glasgow (12-15, 15-4) be- fore finally losing in the end to Malta (15-7, 4-15) and to Glasgow (15-12, 15-10) in a rematch. From there the Beeters went on a warpath. They won nine straight conference matches, es, including a decisive victory over arch rivals, the Malta M-Ettes (15-2, 15-6) before suffering an unusual and unexpected loss to the Fort Benton Longhorns. Fortunately, the loss didn't dam- pen their spirits much, and the Beeters were able to Finish out the weekend with three wins. The girls stopped top rated Shelby in their tracks by handing them their first loss in the form of a 15-9, 11-15, 15-10 defeat. Also, they pulled off impressive victories over Cascade (15-5, 15-1) and Fairfield (16-14, 15-7). Unfortunately, the weekend turned out to be the last for Brenda Moxley who tore the lateral miniscus in her left knee, required knee surgery, and had to sit out the remainder of the season. The following weekend, Rasan Miller sprained an ankle to further deprive the Beeters of healthy bodies. In spite of all the misfortune brought to the Beeters, they continued to look forward the upcoming tournaments. The girls re- corded victories over Fairfield, Conrad, and Shelby to place them into the championship round of the divisional tournament, as well as to assure them of a spot in the class B State tournament. Unfortunately, Shelby, who battled back in the loser’s bracket and was playing on emotion, was able to overcome the Beeters for the first time all season, to claim the title, and the Beeters went to State as the second place team from the North. From that point on things continued to get worse. Mid- way through the week prior to State, Melyssa Haux sus- tained a knee injury that forced her to exchange her vol- leyball shoes for a pair of crutches. The loss made it neces- sary for the team to switch to a different offense in order to ease the pressure put on Carmen Hofeldt. The short time given for the team to regroup was insufficient and defi- nitely was a contributing factor in the team’s play at state. Losing 12-15, 15-13, and 11-15 in the first round to Big Fork and again to Big Timber before finally getting on track, the girls found themselves playing for pride. In Saturday morning action, Chinook became one of only two class B teams in the state to finish the season with a win. The girls handled Wolf Point (15-13, 4-15, 15-4) in order to capture seventh place honors. Shelby rolling fast and still high with emotion, ended up going all the way to become state champions. Although one will always wonder what could have hap- pened if things had been different and we had entered the state tourney with 12 healthy team members, the Beeter team and their town should be satisfied with their efforts. They finished the season as conference champions and proved that they could adjust to various situations, but perhaps most importantly, they proved that they weren’t quitters. top left Frances Nemes ties up the volleyball in mid air against Cut Bank to vie for the block, while home Economics instructor.

It didn't seem like the State Tournament, but for five lucky wrestlers ... MEMORIES Being only twenty miles from home in Havre, it didn’t seem like the State Tournament, but for five lucky Chi- nook wrestlers, it was two very memorable days. T.J. Overcast, Don Cross, Jeremy Starr, Scott Brum- mer, and Kent Dolezal all represented Chinook High School at the 1988 State Wrestling Tourney in Havre, and they surprised everyone. T.J. Overcast fought back from an early loss to place sixth in a very tough weight class. Don Cross lost to the eventual champion but came back strong to place fourth, while Jeremy Starr won only one match but wrestled a strong tournament. Kent Dolezal also came back from an early loss to place a very high fourth in the heavyweight division. Only one Beeter remained on Saturday night. Chinook Senior Scott Brummer was to face arch rival Justin Olsen in the finals. Olsen was the wrestler in the state to hand Brummer a loss during the season, but on the reverse, Brummer was the only wrestler to have defeated Olsen in two years. When the match started late Saturday night Brummer took an early lead on a quick take down and never looked back, dominating the Harlotown senior and coming away with a 6-2 victory to become the first Chinook wrestler in three years to win a state championship. As a team, the Chinook Sugarbeeters also did very well, finishing an unexpectedly high eighth, out distancing con- ference rivals Malta and Cut Bank, and proving the strength of the young Beeter team. Other wrestlers that competed for the Beeters this last season were: Dane Mortonson, Daryl Mitchell, Jeff Mcgillivary, Luke Brown, Cory Bilger, Robert Price, Da- vid Allen, Rusty Golie. Coach Swenumson also looks for a strong team next year, with three of his five state wrestlers returning for the 1989 season. top left- Donald Cross tries to escape from a Big Sandy opponent during the Chinook Invitational wrestling tournament, top right- Scott Brummer, while wrestling Justin Olson in the championship match, works for a cradle, bottom left- T.J.

Tennis Team doubles in participants as experienced Beeters become Tennis - What a Racket! by Jodie Farmer Coached by Mr. Gerry Blankinship, the tennis team in only its third year of existence, managed to cause a lot of racket and make great strides in becoming a power in Class B tennis action. Although the girls didn’t record an overwhelming number of victories, they gained experience and had fun. Their hard work and dedication eventually paid off. Consistently placing in top positions at their tourna- ments, much of the Sugarbeeters success was contributed to strong individual efforts. Doubles team, Becky Graff and Jeanette Frantal did a very commendable job as they recorded a tournament championship as well as several other high finishes. Also, Laura Bucklin did a particularly fine job of representing Chinook. In nearly every tourna- ment that she competed, she found herself playing in the finals. Her efforts resulted in several first and second place finishes, as well as a berth in the State Tournament. Another fantastic asset to the squad was all around ath- lete, Michele Charney. Her performances netted her var- ious awards and made her a threat to all of her opponents. Summing up the Super Eight varsity members were Eloise Solem and Judy Friede who combined to make a fearsome doubles team, and Nicholle Gebert who put in a good strong singular effort. Connie Reed held the final position until shortly before the Divisional Tournament, and she did a very fine job. However, she lost her position in a hard fought challenge match to Fay Pula, who then represented the team at Divisionals. Due to the fact that five seniors, will be lost to gradu- ation, next year’s team will have a lot to prove. Fortunate- ly Graff and Frantal will be returning, as will Gebert, but much of the Beeter future depends on upcoming talent. The freshman, who played hard all year and developed numerous skills, will be called on to help out the team in a big way. Also, doubles team, Frances Nemes and Fay Pula will be expected to do great things. Because of their obvious talent and ambition, there's not much to worry about. All in all, the team did a very respectable job this year and hopefully will be able to keep the ball rolling for next year. VARSITY TENNIS. Londa Nelson (manager), Lau- ra Bucklin, Jeanette Frantal.

Although young, the Sugarbeeter thin clads sent eleven Qualifiers to State Competition by Lance Starr For eleven Sugarbeeter thin clads, the 1988 track season ended on a high note, as they qualified for the state track meet held in Billings. Seniors, Scott Mackenzie, Dean Snow, and Stacy Shockly led the Beeter track- sters, followed by Lesley Von Eschen, Jeni Davies, Willie Birnell, Angie Lenhardt, Michelle Gallus, Casey Jones, Mona Benbo, and Tyler Ed- wards. Although young, the group proved to be very talented, and under the di- rection of first year coach Gary An- derson, placed very high at most meets. Mackenzie and Snow both set new school records in the high jump, triple jump, and long jump. Macken- zie soared to a record high jump of 6’8, while Snow set records in the tri- ple jump with leaps of 43 and 22 feet, respectively. In addition to head coach, Gary Anderson, making the transition from junior high to high school, the coaching staff for the team consisted of Luwana Sweet, a student from NMC who proved to be very popular and very helpful to the Beeter pro- gram, Mike Mortenson, who worked with the distance runners, and former Chinook graduate Loren Skoyen, who schooled the sprinters in the art of speed. As a whole, the track team enjoyed a very successful season and looks to be just as successful next year with a nucleus of outstanding athletes re- turning to lead the team. Most out- standing in field events trackster, Jo- die Shockley will return, and most improved, John Thomas and Jeni Da- vies will be back, as will Casey Jones and Michelle Gallus, who were deemed outstanding in track events at the Sports Awards Presentation. However, the team will lose Out- standing Senior Boy and Girl All- Sport award winners, Scott Macken- zie and Stacey Shockley. Mackenzie also won the most valuable competi- tor award, while Dean Snow earned accolades for being the most out- standing in field events.

Thumbs Up Here!! by Michele Medlin The munchkins came out in full force for the carnival and had a night of fun and games ranging from Pie in the Face to Mini-Golf. There seemed to be no end to the things that the high school students would do to win the honor of their class' winning carnival. This year the race really seemed to be between the juniors and the seniors, but the juniors seemed to have the most incentive with the prom loom- ing over them. The juniors won with the most money raised, and the seniors missed by only a small margin with rumors flying that they had been cheated after a sudden administrative policy took precedence over establish regula- tions. The new king and queen were John Thomas and Brenda Moxley who were crowned at the night show. For a little different aspect of fun, Student Council put on a night show with a full variety of talent. The “4 Plus 1” featured Marc Gauthier, Kathie Gruszie, Kary Belcher, Eric Edwards, and Mr. Larry Larson with the songs “Is This Love?” and “Livin’ On A Pray- er”. There were several lip syncs, a senior skit, which really showed the talent of the Come- dians’, the Jocks’, the Nerds’, the Borings’, and one down right strange announcer, Ray Leo, in their rendition of “The Newlywed Game”. Jill Kluck’s husband, Rob Jenks was especially humorous with his imitation of Ronald Reagan. “Well, Bob” he drawled before every response. In addition, Peter Pula and Kathie Gruszie were especially convincing as the Nerds, while Mi- chele Charney and Scott Brummer appropriately portrayed the Jocks. At the end Gretchen Anderson sang, “Somewhere Out There”. The audience was heard saying as they walked out that this was one of the nicest Variety Shows that they had seen in years.

After much discussion, the juniors selected, “In My Dreams'1 by REO Speedwagon as their theme and chose metallic sil- ver, baby blue, and sapphire blue as the colors to accent their theme. The gym was decorated with columns and strings of balloons, and streamers and silver stars lined the walls, giving the effect of night. A giant moon, which provided the setting for pictures, completed the effect. This year's rule of thumb was definitely “anything goes , as the Promgoer's formal wear was as varied as the individual who wore it. Dresses ranged in colors from light pastels to dark vibrant hues, and lengths varied from mini to long hoopskirts and everything in between. Most tuxes for the guys were in traditional white or blacks, but other colors like gray and silver also made an occasional appear- ance. The juniors decided to try a new idea, announcing each couples' names during the Grand March. Although the scene didn't turn out exactly as expected, and everyone's heart skipped a beat when the tape of the theme song couldn't be found, everything worked out fine. Announc- ers, Jolynn Golie and Lisa Lowen, managed to get all of the names in the right order. The Coup'Rs were hired as the band and really got things going. Unlike other years, they played almost non- stop and tried to involve the student body. Students were selected to dance on stage and to sing back-up with the group. These special touches made the Prom more memo- rable. Finally, the big moment arrvied. Everyone was excited, and tension was in the air as couples anxiously united to see who would be crowned King and Queen. As the names were read, Darin Hamilton and Arcelia Miller were se- lected to reign over the remainder of the Prom. What Prom would be complete without the movie and breakfast, and this year was no exception. After the dance the movie was held at the Blaine Theatre. Kevin Bacon starred in “She's Having a Baby. Then, the traditional post-prom breakfast of sausage and egg bake, cinnamon rolls, fruit, and apple juice was served by junior mothers at Meadowlark Elementary School. Although tough at times, the juniors managed to pull together and put on a successful Prom; the whole evening was absolutely dreamy. PROM CANDIDATES, Top Left- Becky Graff, Aaron Johnson.

Silver balloons and pink streamers turned the I loyd Sweet Auditorium into a picture of soft romance. Confetti dotted the floor in colors of pink, black, and silver, and formal table settings complete with candles indicated that everything was in order and was very nicely done. This semi-formal event was well attended. Many couples went out local at the Motor Inn. Mediterranean, or at the Black Angus. This was another girl-ask-guy dunce and a good time for couples to get together and socialize. On the other hand, the Valentine’s dance was more or less a flop. It was not well attended, because the Wrestlers as well as the volleyball team were out of town, there were no decorations, and no excitement was in store Obviously Dirty Dancing was “in at CHS and will continue to tap its enthusiasm for quite some time above- Dan L.ooby entertains Steph Perry with his humor and good looks while Jeremy Starr hunts for a chick to dance with at Snoball. right- Germaine Gauthier and Jim Finley dance to “Faith”, while Darin Hamilton dances in the background. left The quad consisting of Brenda Moxley, Chad Surbcr.

Karen Baum Inspires 39 by Jodie Farmer Although they were small in number, the class of ’88 was big on accomplishments. Because of their individual- ity, it was through a lot of tears and memories that CHS said goodbye to this special class with class. Well-wishers, friends, and family crowded into the Floyd Bowen Gymnasium on May 21 to bid the class a formal farewell. Dressed in royal blue robes, the 39 gradu- ates took their places and prepared to make the Final step from their lives as high school students. Peter Pula gave the invocation, while Trevor Cronk issued welcoming comments. Next, Kathie Gruszie sang a beautiful solo entitled “Theme from Mahogany which inquired, do you know where you’re going to? After the presentation of academic awards received by 14 students, Eloise Solem gave her salutatory address. She stated that one of the best parts of graduating was that she would no longer have to make it public that she was going to the bathroom by carrying a wooden bathroom pass. She also stressed that pleasing oneself and respecting the man in the glass staring back at you were most crucial for future happiness. left- Tammy Bergman, role taker for 5th period English, accepts a farewell squeeze from Rob Jcnks. right- Seniors, Rob Jenks, Connie Reed, and Curt Anderson, share a final outing with Denise Hay and other underclassmen attending the Spring Fling barbecue in Griffin Park. 106 In her valedictory address, Gretchen Anderson made a point of thanking all the people who supported her and her classmates. She especially gave thanks to her parents for encouraging her in her various endeavors. Next, guest speaker, John Moffatt gave the commence- ment address in which he relayed a number of lessons that he had learned since, while vice principal at Fergus Coun- ty High School in Lewistown, a student shot him. His very emotional speech urged students to remember that no matter how bad things get, they can be settled without harming anybody and without further complicating prob- lems for themselves. It wasn’t until after Kathie Gruszie, Gretchen Ander- son, and Marc Gauthier sang, “1 Will Touch the Sky,” that the diplomas were presented. After picking up their class flower, a white rose with blue tips, the class was finished with its high school obligation. Lance Starr gave the benediction, and then it was best wishes and thanks, as well as hopes that they could live up to their motto by Karen Baum, “Only as high as I reach can I grow. Only as far as 1 see can I go; only as deep as I look can I see. Only as much as I dream can I be.” top left- Kathie Gruszie, Marc Gauthier, and Gretchen Anderson sing, “I Will Touch the Sky” at the 1988 graduation ceremony, top right- Another blushing senior.
