We are the Knights! Twenty years ago, in 1965. Missoula County High School became two schools; Hellgate and Sentinel. In keeping with the spirit of celebration, the Halberd Staff was dedicated to making the 1984-85 20th anniversary edition, better than ever. Our theme,“We’re Shaping Up,” reflects the attitude of the whole school. With twenty years and many accomplishments behind us, we are looking forward to many more. We are proud to be Hellgate Knights. 2 - Table of Contents

Athletics We’re shaping up; Attitudes.... ....Academics.... While searching for a yearbook theme we noticed the nation wide movement towards physical fitness. People began to be concerned with their health and fitness. Emphasis shifted to eating right and work- ing out. At Hellgate, this has also been a popular craze. We keep our bodies in shape as well as our minds and attitudes. Attitudes are in tip top shape at Hellgate. We feel good about ourselves and our school. Evidence of our revived spirits is seen in our participation in pep assemblies, spirit week, and games. Efforts have been made to restore and improve the old building. New additions have been made to the band room and the auditorium. The bathrooms have been remodeled and new wooden benches have replaced old lockers. Although sometimes regarded as a school with a lack of spirit, Hellgate is now looked upon as a school with energy and drive. The community supports it’s programs and activities. Hellgate is a school with pride in action. Hellgate’s Marching Band is the biggest in the state. Accompanied by the Valkeries, Hellgate’s half-time preformances are superior to others. Senior. Jennifer Harr- ington, was accepted to the McDonald's All American High School Band and will march in the Many’s Day Parade and the Rose Bowl Parade. She was one out of 100 students selected for the band in the United States. Academics take top priority at Hellgate High School. Quality time is spent in the classroom as a result of time on task policies, instituted by Superintendent Dennis Kraft. In addition, a reduction in school spon- sored absences due to sports and other extracurricular activities has been installed. As a nation SAT scores have been up from previous years, while Montana's average scores are above the nation's. Hellgate's SAT scores show significant improvements and average higher than the nation’s. Hellgate has two National Merit semi-finalists; Cindy Margrave and Laura Reed. Hellgate also has five National Merit commended students. Hellgate athletes shape up to be the best in the state. Boys Football had a good start at 3-1 and tied for first in the Western AA Football conference. The Powder Puff Football team defeated cross-town rival Sentinel for the first time in five years. The girls' basketball team im- proved tremendously throughout the year. The cross country team was doing extremely well, the girls’ team claimed a perfect score early in the season.
