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

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.
