Yvonne Applebach and Terri Lamb decorate Mr. Mayes' room, giving it the Christmas Spirit. 2. Ray Hatfield, who is shown in the biology room with one of his taxidermy pieces, has stuffed and mounted several animals. This is just one of Ray's many talents. 3. If you don't like the way I did it, do it yourself. Dave Carlson appears to be saying to Lori Fox while reviewing a fresh copy of the Laurel Leaves in the journalism room. 2 Seventy years ago Laurel had its first graduating ceremony. And then, seven decades later, history repeated itself once again. As Laurel High School fell into the hands of a new President, so did the country as a whole. Those were the days when in the fall we wore coats in class because of the cold weather, and short sleeves in the winter due to mild 60 degrees temperatures. These mild temperatures gave us all a touch of spring fever, and made us curious of what the next few months would bring. 1. WELCOME- Tom Rutt, Student Body President, welcomes everyone to a new year at LHS. 2 REVENGEThe girls' basketball team used toilet paper to decorate the library after returning home from a basketball trip. Some mysterious source had made a mess in Ms. Goodale's office; but the girls didn't get mad. they got even 3. ELECTION 1980- Laurel citizens wait patiently in the main hall of LHS to cast their votes tor in general election. 3 We thought they’d never end For the seniors, the end was almost there, but time seemed to pass by faster than expected. As for the Class of 82, they wished it was their turn, but knew in their minds they had to wait one more year. And then there was the Class of 83, who were convinced it would never end. Though we were all looking forward to closing the doors behind us for the last time, this school year at Laurel High School held many memorable times which will never be forgotten. Even though there were some bad times along with the good, everyone survived, making it a successful one. As the underclassmen finish up their years at LHS, they too will have many memories to look back on. 1 Terri Lamb, Lynn Halverson, and Leslie Harris pick up an issue of the Laurel Leaves. By the look on Lynn’s face, there must be something between those pages worth laughing at! 2 Kim Kukowski obviously doesn't care to have her picture taken, as she stands with Robbin Hansen. Jerri Chastain, and Jan Barnhart in the main hall after school. 3 Who me? Carol Feuerbacher wonders what the person behind her wants her for. She soon finds out that there is a photographer waiting to take her picture 4 1 Jeff Melcher crawls out of the spirit box all wore out after giving Sherri Lance some much needed spirit during a pep assembly for girls' basketball. 2 Senior Cody Dragoo sets up a trick shot to impress Rick Gradwohl during fifth period advanced P.E. class. 3 Steve Hackmann repairs a “flat tire'1 given to him by Robin Harper 5 We’d sing and dance The homecoming activities started the school year off right with a Spirit Week contest between the four classes of LHS. Following the big victory against Livingston was the Homecoming Dance, featuring this year's King and Queen, Tom Rutt and Shelly Hoppel. Time passed quickly and before we knew it, the Christmas Formal had arrived, with Rod Nauman and Sherri Lance being crowned royalty. As time passed further on, the choir department presented Laurel with a variety show entitled Auditions Tonight. This was a two-night show in which all choir members put a lot of work into. The band department also presented their talents to the public with a spring concert three weeks after the vocal performance. Finally, at the close of the year, was the Junior-Senior Prom. This was the last chance for the students of LHS to get together formally and boogie during the 1980-81 school year. 6 2. 3. Lori Fox and Rich Helterbran dance the night away at the Christmas formal.

Little bits and pieces Of laughter mixed with tears Paragraphs and pages Written through the years. Friendships we remember Mistakes that we regret The ending of a love We never could forget. But since memories keep building Each day can be the start Of making new and happy ones To store within the heart. 2 Cody Dragoo flashes a smile as he walks past the journalism room while picking up absentee slips. 3. Professional pool shark Frank McGowan gives April Melcher. Julie Wallace, and Lori Behm a few pointers while they are at the Corner Pocket playing pool in Advanced P.E. Mr. Stratton wonders what he’s got himself into while selling concessions at a basketball game. Pam Fink and Martha Riojas wait on customers. 1 We lived a life of truth 1. The Catholic Cathedral in Helena was one of the many places toured by the Honor Society on their trip to the Legislature. 2. Cindy Swenson and Cori Fost serve coffee, punch, and cookies for guests who attended Open House at LHS. 3. Great dedication is shown by all these students who are working on their art projects. Shown are Tarell Mangum. Vickie Jackson. Magie Hogan. Wendy Quinn. Michelle Sanders. Linda Eisenbraun. Taleena Hart. Tracey Bernhart. and Jay Craig. A group of 29 Honor Society members, along with Mr. and Mrs. Robert Graham and Miss Judy Goodale, spent two days at the Legislature in Helena. Activities included a complete tour of the Capitol building, sitting in on House committee meetings, and attending the Senate and House of Representatives while in session. They also got to see Sen. Chet Blaylock of Laurel in action. He was debating a bill, which was later vetoed. The Student Activity Council has a new face leading the group this year. It’s Mr. Phil Garnett our vice-principal. This is his first year at Laurel High School, and his first year as SAC advisor. Quill Scroll inducted 26 members to its organization. The night started with a pot luck dinner in the journalism room for all the new inductees and their parents. After the meal, the induction took place in the library. Each member lit a candle and said the Quill Scroll pledge. After that, membership cards and pins were given to each new member. Though sometimes it’s not always so obvious, the students of LHS are truly dedicated. 1. Kim Kukowski shows great dedication as she works on her page layout for the Laurel Leaves. 2 Mr. Garnett greets the students trom Powell High School during the SAC exchange. Also shown are Corry Bladow, Sandy Shay.

Shown here is one of the team members stuffing it,” a favorite act among the crowd. The other team member awaits the rebound. The ironclad started off well, as many new guys turned out for football. It was a successful year, as the team played in the Eastern Division Championship playoff game for the first time in 23 years. The Girls' Basketball team seemed to follow tradition in going to the State tournament. The girls placed second in divisionals this year, advancing them to state for the fourth year in a row. As for cross country, both the boys and the girls did well. The boys, being a strong powerhouse, placed second in the state tournament. Though the girls were a young team, they also finished well, placing sixth. At the beginning of the year, the wrestling team had a few problems with the Miles City tournament, but overall, the season was successful. Though injuries plagued them throughout the year, the team tied for third place at divisionals, and placed 9 guys in the state tournament in Glasgow. A new outlook in boys basketball this year is the new coaching staff. It was hard to make a team this year as the varsity only placed 11 on the team with 1 swing person from junior varsity. Because of the mill levy defeat, the B. Squad team was cut out entirely, making it quite difficult to pick the junior varsity members. With the retirement of both head coaches, this years track season had a new outlook also. A new coaching staff, many returning members, and many new people going out made the season a successful one. The boys tried for their fourth straight title, and the girls tried for their first. The golfers had the prime opportunity to get on the greens early this year because of the nice weather; preparing them for a successful season. By only loosing two seniors from last years squad, both the boys and girls had strong teams. 12 1. Watching from the sidelines may sometimes be frustrating as you can see by the look on these faces.

There is the famous Laurel High School radiator, or more commonly known as Stud Row.” There have been many generations to sit on the radiator and there will be many more to come, if it holds up that long. The vending machines added a much needed change of pace this year. Throughout the day you could always see a group of people crowded around the machines emptying their pockets. 1. CATCH THAT PEPSI FEELING-David Greenwood reaches tor his change Irom one of the machines in the mam hallway SAC leased 6 vending machines for the first time this year, for the students' convenience. 2 Miss Montana Teen Cathi Jo Lo-cati performed before the Laurel choral groups during a noon hour presentation Cathi Jo was later crowned Miss Montana USA 3 WATCH OUT BROOK SHIELDS-Shelly Trautman and Pauline Hedges model the latest fashions at Ambers Clothing Store. 14 Table of Contents Academics page 17 Activities page 43 Classes page 64 Student Life page 100 Sports page 119 Who's Who page 148 Faculty page 154 Community page 161 Index, Ads page 166 15 yes, those were the days ACADEMICS New students in our school this year include Gloria Wood.

This can be accomplished through membership in any of the groups such as: marching band, concert band, pep band, stage band, enselbles, and solos. Singing in the choir helps you enjoy music even more than you already do. The songs are selected so that each student has an opportunity to learn and enjoy the basic skills in the language of music. 1 The Laurel High School band members are as follows: Front row-Joan Branstetter.

During 1980-81 SAC bought a bike rack. Chairman of the committee was Mark O’Donnell and committee were Susan Huff and Sally Tuomi. The 22 foot rack was made and donated by Clarence Karst. As a thank-you, SAC paid for a night out on the town for Mr. and Mrs. Karst. SAC also leases four vending machines: a hot drinks machine that also serves soup, two snackshop machines, and a cold drinks machine that serves juices. These machines were bought to earn money for SAC as well as to provide food for those students who eat lunch in the building. Winter Reflections was the theme SAC chose for the winter formal dance where Sherri Lance was named Queen and Rod Nauman King. February 19, SAC members guided 25 students from Powell Wyoming High school through the halls of LHS to exchange views about each others high school policies. 1 The Promise of Change.

The Great Falls state Speech and Drama meet was attended by Kim Smarsh and Barb Blaylock. Barb Blaylock took first in humerous solo. February 23 SAD held the second Annual Speech and Drama meet Appreciation Night. This allowed the students and public to see what the SAD team accomplished this year. The appreciation night consisted of 12 skits done by SAD members and refreshments afterwards. When asked how this year went, Mr. Kilpatrick commented, “Even though we didn’t have a big team, the kids were all anxious and willing to work hard. I was well pleased with the performances this year. The SAD team sure didn’t have quantity but they all had quality.” Drama: Sitting- Sandra Shay, V.P.; Lesli Smidt; Kimberly Smarsh; Nancy Boggess; Middle row- Shannon Bladow; Dan Kautz; Top row- Mr Kilpatrick; Nancy Rimert; Diana Ross; Sherri Lance; Pres.

Garbage Crusade: Honor Students Doug Hunt, Carol Feuerbacher. and Lisa Bestrom help clean up the school grounds. All Honor Society members had to have made the honor roll two of three six weeks periods in the preceding semester. Honor Society members are also judged by a faculty committee on scholarship, leadership, service, and character. In 1980-81, sponsor Mr. Graham took the Honor Society students on a two-day trip to Helena to visit museums, mansions, the Catholic Cathedral, Federal Reserve, Carroll College, and the Capitol. Senator Blaylock gave the honor students a tour of the Capital Building and also arranged a few minutes for the honor students to chat with Governor Schwinden. Honor Society is a service organization that helps out with any club or school activity that requires their help. Honor students helped pick up garbage around the school, acted as guides during Open House, and helped out at the Art Show. Between helping at school activities, traveling, and keeping their grades up, Honor Society students stayed very busy during 1980-81. 49 1 Home to roam with the buffalo Mark Strand explains his plans for a portable house to art club members. 2 The inspectors - Art Club members.

In 1980-81 the Pep Club was not only cheered but also sold carnations for Valentines Day and concessions at tournaments. The Pep Club used this money on the homecoming dance, the chili dinner for the cross country team, flowers for the cheerleaders during tournaments, and a dinner for seniors of the golf and track teams. Also, Pep Club sponsored a senior appreciation where seniors and their parents were honored with flowers and were introduced at the last home game in which the seniors were involved. The Pep Club of 1980-81 definitely did more than just cheer on the teams. 1 Decisions are made on a full stomach. Corry Bladow. president of Pep club leads a meeting during noon hour. 2.

The graduation ceremony contained many firsts. For the first time ever Baccalaureate and Graduation were combined into one. The speaker at graduation is usually an alumni who has made good of himself. In this case, however, Mr. Chet Blaylock, Senate Minority Leader of Montana and former teacher at Laurel Senior High gave the annual talk to the senior class. After graduation most seniors can say goodbye to high school forever, but not in 1981. The Montana Legislature passed a bill making seniors go to school a minimum of 175 days. The seniors at LHS had only gone 170 days. The next days seniors could be seen in the halls with only one difference; diplomas in their hands. 1. Mr. Chet Blaylock gives the annual commencement address to the senior class. 2. Superintendent Robert Singleton congratulates co-salutatorian, Mark Little, as Mark Henry, co-salutatorian. waits to receive his award. 3. Is it time yet?

The style was anything from casual to dressy to western. Permanents and the feathered look dominated both boys and girls hairstyles. The boys became brave and a few got permanents. Jumpsuits were a fashion hit with the girls. Velou shirts were popular amongst the guys. Bibs and painter pants in a rainbow of colors were worn by both girls and guys. The one thing that can always be counted to be around is makeup and hair accessories. Makeup comes in many different bottles, tubes and jars. Hair accessories included barrettes, combs, and head-bands. A new kind of hair braiding also popular was french braiding. 1 What a bird. Doug Hunt shows his hairstyle. the feathered look. 2 Dreaming.

Hats were popular by girls who weren’t to shy or embarassed to be a fashion setter. The biggest fad was a pair of Nike tennis shoes and straight leg jeans. Headlining the girls dress scene were plaid wool skirts with lacey blouses, vests, or solid colored blazer and leather boots or sandals. Although the winter was mild, the building was not and students could be seen wearing coats in the halls and classrooms. The fashion trends at LHS can be counted on always to be popular all around the country. 1. These boots were made for walking.

David M. Blood was killed on his way to work at the refinery on June 11. 1980. Mr. Blood started teaching in Laurel in 1974. Before that he taught in California and Hawaii. Mr. Blood was a unique man. He gave everything he had and put it into his high school choir. All his students tried to give it back to him. He worked hard to start traditions such as a Thanksgiving and Christmas concert. He also had a pops concert set into a nightclub. The green room behind the stage at times had to serve as his bed. He would go countless days without lunch and supper, using that time to work for his students. They were dedicated to working hard for him. He got numerous compliments and deserved them all. With the help of his students, his concerts were considered the best in the state. 160 A Special Thank You To Doreen Crawford Nancy Kindsfather Mark O'Donnell Shonna McGlothlin Wanda Lich Howard Rickard Carol Feuerbacher Beth Ferguson Michelle Conners Jill Vladic Robbin Hansen Edie Keener Julie Brice Talleena Hart Nancy Rimert Michelle Sanders This year marks the seventieth year of Laurel High School, and we have truly come a long way. As we put this book together, we tried to capture all the memories shared by the students of LHS. It was an enjoyable and rewarding experience; one which we will never forget. Though we look forward to the future, we will always remember the good times and fun we had at LHS. We would like to wish a special thank you to all the staff members and other people who helped make this book a success. Also, thank you to the student body and faculty for your cooperation throughout the year. We would especially like to thank our advisor, Mr. Dennis Simmons, for his time and patience given to us. Without all of you, we would never have finished the 1981 Locomotive Annual. We hope you enjoy the 1981 Locomotive as much as we did making it. C?K L-2 0- to Ir' ' OjLcj-LI SyO J- Ernte Dankfest The annual celebration in Laurel, called the Herbstfest, would never have come about had it not been for the immigration of the German people from Russia in the early 1900’s. Any nationality can enjoy the Herbstfest, as it has something for everyone. The 1980 pre-Herbstfest festivities began Thursday evening, September 25, 1980, at the Laurel Senior High with the free pageant which is a play put on by German heritage. Friday, September 26, 1980, the Dick Zavodny Polka Band from Loveland, Colorado made its first appearance at the free dance held in the Laurel Junior High Gymnasium. The eighth annual Herbstfest parade got underway at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, September 27, 1980. The opening ceremonies for the weekend celebration began at 11:30 a.m. in the high school gymnasium. Rebecca Drake, choral director of the high school, started the proceedings with her solo of the “Star Spangled Banner. Mayor Larry Hermn officially opened the Herbstfest when he untapped the keg of root beer. Myron Floren returned for his third appearance at the 1980 Herbstfest. Other special guests besides Myron Floren were, Dick Zavodny Polka Band, and the Tibor Brothers. Others who performed at the annual harvest celebration included: Enzian Schuhplattler Verein, D'Lustin Wor-laender Verein, Scandanavian Folk Dance Group, Deutsche Fests-plielers, and the Laurel High School Stage Band. 162 Harvest Celebration 1. It's a wonder what 10 fingers can do. Myron Floren. from Hollywood. California. was the main attraction of the 1980 Herbstfest. He was a crowd pleaser as the gym was full for each of his performances. 2. Swing your partner! These dancers get into the German spirit by doing a traditional dance at the festivities in the high school gymnasium. 3. Do Ra Mi. Pat Kukes. accompanied by Myron Floren. perform a duet for the crowd. 4 Even animals can have some German pride. These little Germans weren't afraid to show their pride as they ride on one of the many floats in the Herbstfest parade. 5. Leader of the Pack. Kathy Bence leads the way for the Flag Corp and the Laurel Senior High School Marching Band during the Herbstfest parade. 163 A Ackerson. Gary 91 Aline. Ronald 120. 121. 74. 66. 13. 63 Alsberg.
