Speech Coaches: Dean Gerdeman and Barry Williams STATE SPEECH mEET IN HAVRE This year's Speech Team expected to attend eight speech tournaments but was able to participate in only seven of them. The eighth meet, which was to be held in Columbia Falls, was cancelled because of blizzards. According to team members, the most tiring meet was the State meet held in Havre. The long bus ride, starting at 5 o'clock in the morning, took more than seven hours on icy roads. The team did relatively well, placing sixth overall. One of the highlights of this year's season was the Intercity meet. For the second year in a row. Hellgate beat Sentinel, Big Sky and Loyola to win the Intercity Speech Tournament. Head Coach Barry Williams felt that this year the team experienced, lots of growth and friendship. Every mem- ber gained worthwhile educational experience. Williams also felt that the seniors on this year's team had some very special skills that will be helpful in furthering their education. Assistant Coaches Wally Congdon and Dean Gerdeman were proud of this year's team. They said that a strong bond of friendship grew be- tween the members of the team and that this year the team was more spirit oriented than past teams. To get psyched up for an upcoming meet, the team planned a pizza party in the Hellgate cafeteria, complete with candles and fake champagne. Throughout the season picnics and small get-togethers were held to help bring the team closer together. Each year an outstanding speaker award is given to the one team mem- ber who scored the most competition points. This year the award goes to senior R.B. Chaney who participated in Extemporaneous Speaking. Seniors lettering in speech receive plaques at the dessert-fest held at the end of every season. Nine seniors will receive plaques this year. They are: Kristina Catalfomo. Kim Card. Mark McMillan, lackie Roderick. Ann Nau- mann. Anna Machado. Monty Bryant. Kathy Thompson, and R.B Chaney. 2 5

Student Senate governs students Student Senate is the students' govern ment and the students’ voice to the ad- ministration. Members are elected by their class and have the job of meeting every week to plan ways to represent the needs and desires of the students. Senate is responsible for establishing duties for social events and overseeing extra-curric- ular activities. Senate also makes sugges- tions for policy changes. This year Student Senate established the peer tutoring pro- gram and the Government Club. Senate also participated in the selection of the new superintendent of MCHS. Raising money and organizing a committee to study the distribution of awards for extra-curricular activities were two major projects that kept Student Senate busy this year.
