The proud parents are Lionel and Gloria Riddle. The twins enjoy spending most of their time together. Riding horses, eating hamburgers and pizza are just a few things they have in common. What a cute blondehaired, blue-eyed couple they make! One May 3, 1968, a miracle happened and Janet Gradwohl Wagner and JoD’Ann Gradwohl were bom. Their lucky parents are Darrell and Linda McGillen. They both enjoy grandma’s cooking, pastel colors, basketball, football, and especially bowling! In the past year, what they cherished the most is being with then-new additions to the family, Bryanne Lynn Wagner and Drake Allen Gradwohl. Participating in basketball, volleyball, track, and softball are a few sports they have common. Their favorite subject is history and they like the colors purple, blue, and red. This pair of girls is Catherine and Suzanne Roth, daughters of Charles and Rosella Roth, bom on August 17, 1971. Future plans include attending the same college. No, you are not seeing double. Bob and Bill Rawhouser are the one set of male twins that roam the halls of L.H.S. As of now, they have no future plans together although they like to play football. When asked, How much time do you spend together?”, Bill answered, As little as possible.” The parents of these two sophomores are Robert and Brenda Rawhouser. Their birthdate is on May 5, 1970. Student Life 7 ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■I Uj Scientific research has shown that Hugging is practically perfect: No moveable parts, no batteries to wear There’s a hug to say I love you And a hug to say goodbye There’s a hug to say How are you And a hug to say we tried There’s a hug to bond A friendship And a hug when the Day is through But the hug I love In all the world is The hug I get from you! every’ human being needs: four hugs —------•----—— per day to merely survive, eight hugs out, no periodic check ups, low energy' per day to maintain oneself at a par consumption, high energy yield, ticular emotional level, twelve hugs inflation-proof, non-fattening, no per day to grow. monthly payments, no insurance Hugs are free: maybe that’s why so requirements, theft-proof, non-taxable, many people take them for granted. non-polluting, fully refundable. If hugs did cost a lot of money, people would probably knock themselves out make money t.. buy a hug. Even though hugs are free, hugs aren’t BEST PEOPLE, PLACES, AND worth anything if they aren't used. TIMES TO HUG: ANYONE, And a hug not used is lost forever. On ANYPLACE, ANYTIME, an affection starved planet, can we really afford to waste a hug- 8 Student Life Ain't we Got Spirit? ...Yes, spirit at LHS does live on. Whether in the halls, the classroom of at the everexciting football and basketball games, everybody seems to overflow with spirit. It’s neat to see a crowd of fans stand up and yell for the winning Locomotives. Without the spirit of the students and parents, where would the teams be? That brings to mind the word support”-helping one another out. Though all the laughs and cries seem to be a challenge it’s always fun. Spirit at LHS is everywhere. Homecoming week gears you up for this, Activities seem to shine throughout the whole week. From the rootbeer chug-a-lug, to the marshmallow stuffing contest, to the tug-a-war, the fun never ends. And don’t forget to dress up for Nerd Day. It is really super to see a crowd of people cheer on the Locomotives. Spirit at LHS will always live on.

I.—— Glory Dayso ■■■■■I Are Remembered from !■■■■■■ Students at LHS loved to listen to music. Three of the hottest selling albums were: Bruce Springsteen’s Born In The U.S..’' Motley Crue’s Theatre Of Pain,” and Ratt’s Invasion Of Your Privacy.” Springsteen’s Glory Days,” Smokin’ In The Boy’s Room” by Motley Crue and Ratt’s Lay It Down” were among our favorites. Besides there particular songs, there were several other favorites. Ratt came to the Metra October 11, 1985, and there was a large turnout. ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■I But the real reason students went was to hear the song Lay It Down.” Motley Crue also came to the Metra November 19, 1985. Much contro-versey arose about the way Crue dressed and the lyrics of I songs. Even though adults didn’t want the teenagers going, there was a good size audience. Bruce Springsteen was another top performer. Springsteen hasn’t appeared to rock at the Metra in ’85 or ’85 but hopefully in ’87 ho will appear. ■■ 12 Student Life immmmuuuwmmmmmrnmm • When you’re talking to a babe” and you accidently drool.

Student Ufe 13 _____________________________________________________________________________ The Stars Are Bom IT LOOKS LIKE CRYSTAL CON-NOVER and Tracy Clark got into mommie’s make-up. On the first day of school, tryouts for the children’s play Simple Simon” began. Mrs. Connors, Enlish and Drama teacher at L.H.S., directed the play with the assistance of student director, Laurie Riemann. Sound director was Darren Schwenneker and Scott Riemann was the lighting director. The play could not have been possible without the great cast and all the others who helped. Simon was played by Susan Crilly and was called Simple by the Pieman, Matt Michael. The royal kingdom was ruled by Michelle Padilla, the queen and the princess was played by Jill Carl and Fredd Richard portrayed the king. The people of her land were Cheryl Unger as the attendant, the herald, Laurie Riemann, and the washerwoman played by Corrine Schumacher, Don Petrick was the executioner and the guard was Scott Riemann. The king’s long underwear, Tracy Clarke, and his nightshirt, Crystal Conover, helped Simon through his trouble and adventure. Simple Simon” was a favorite for both young and old.

Seniors Lay the Groundwork Youthfulness and inexperience” are the words Coach Matson uses to describe the 1985 football season. With only seven returning Letterman, the Locomotives salvaged a 2-7 record in the Eastern A Conference. This conference was thought to be the toughest conference in the state. Eastern A teams have won 7 of the last 8 state titles and Eastern A teams have met each other in the championship game for the last three years. It was a season highlighted by the Livingston game. We were up against a team just as inex-peienced as we were, and we proved we were better,” stated Coach Matson. Laurel defeated Livingston 28-14; Laurel’s only other win for the season was a 7-0 victory over the new arrival to the Eastern A-Colstrip. Laurel lost it’s Homecoming game to Lewistown 16-7, a game which Coach Matson felt was the turning point n the season. A lineman recovered a fumble in midair. It if had been a back, we might have scored.” In closing, Coach Matson said this season was like a building, and the Seniors laid the groundwork for it. They will have to feel that for the next three seasons. They are somewhat responsible. We will have around 25 returning Letterman next and over 32 the year after that.

Slow Start Turns Into Proud Finish The 1986 basketball players got off to a slow start with a 3-13 record but later shocked the entire school. The Trainmen went to Divisionals with no one expecting them to win a single game! But the great Trainman spirit came shining through as they stepped on to the basketball court in the Metra. The Trainmen surprised us all by defeating our number one rival, Billings Central, at Divisionals. They went on playing three more games but only winning one more. Even though the season was questionable, they played excellent ball at Divionals and made us proud!

They were often referred to as the baby squad” by Coach Sprigler, but proved that they were as capable of winning as any other team. They started out the season with six Freshman on the varsity squad and ended it with four going to State. Although the wrestlers didn’t fair as well at State as the previous year, they showed they would be tough in upcoming years. Freshman Mike Gauthier (105 lbs), placed a high third place at State. He ended the season with 18 pins. Robbie Gaskill had the most team points. They will surely be unbeatable next year. Veteran Robbie Gaskill, showed he was best again. He placed 1st at the 119 lb. division at State. Robbie also won the quick pin award for the second year in a row. This young team broke a school record when they beat Lewistown 57 to 11. They had 9 pins, the most LHS has had in one match. Montana, watch out! Laurel’s gonna be back._____________________________ STATE WRESTLING RESULTS Robbie Gaskill first place 119 lbs.

After qualifying for state by placing fourth at Divisionals, the Lady Locomotives went on to place eighth in the state. Making it to state was a team goal. said head coach Julie Hoklin. Even though we placed eighth in the tournament we also placed as the eighth best team in the state. Laurel was host to the first Class A state volleyball tournament ever held. Enthusiastic fans, complete with Bermuda shorts and sunglasses, showed their support for the Locomotives and brought possibly the largest crowd to attend a volleyball match this year. Congratulations, players, for doing such a good job this year! The JV squad ended their season with a 14-9 overall record. After the team won nine out of the last ten games, coach Kristi Hoklin was pleased with the improvement her team showed, both as a team and on an individual basis. She feels that there is a lot of potential for next year s teams. The C team ended with an 11-6 record, placing fourth in regular season ratings. This young team put it all together during their final tournament, beating Senior High 15-4 and 15-0 to claim third place. Coach Druann Kerns was very pleased with the girls’ accomplishments and she feels that they will be an asset to next year’s teams. Congratulations to all three teams for having winning seasons and good luck next year! VARSITY' SCORES LAUREL VS.

Even though the boys' golf team took eighth place and the girls' team took ninth place at state, the golf team has a promising future. Three girls and five boys attended state: Tracy Pfaff, Jenni Hatley, Michelle Behm, Shawn Hackmann, Eric Pletcher, Matt Wheeler, Steve Willis, and Tony Golden. Shawn Hackmann received individual honors of fifth place. Matt Wheeler, state golfer, has all the right stuff on the driving range. Freshman Shawn Hackmann is just a swingin' his way to state. Senior Steve Shay and sophomore Matt Wheeler practice on the driving range. Coach Little explains how it's all done, while Jennifer Hatley and Keri Hablutzal practice his words of wisdom. LOVE THAT TENNIS Brenda Fischer stretches for a lob. Beth Gould works to perfect her forehand during practice. Efespite the fact that girls' tends was a new sport at LHS this year, there was a good turnout aid entlusiaan ran high. More than 30 girls went out for tennis this year but the team narrowed down to 12. Head Coach, Diane Clancy, played tennis In hfew York at college aid was able to teach the girls a lot. This infant tean was basically inexperienoed but they worked hard and It paid off. Coach Clancy was Impressed by their luprovement during the season. Although none of them made it to state this year, Becky Heiser came within two matches for playing for third place at divisionals. It's a new experience for all of us, she said. Everyore thinks it's easy to play, but It takes a lot of hard practice and you have to know what you're doing. Tennis takes a lot of finesse. Coach Clancy is looking forward to next year. She believes that the sport will be cone more popular in the future. She also feels that tie Laurel tennis team can take state in a couple of years.

LAUREL TEAMS DO WELL AT STATE Even though they only took ten to state and had seven place, the 1986 boys track team scored 31 points to capture second place overall at the State meet in Butte. Three time state champion, Johnney Schumacher, took first in the 100 m dash, breaking the tape at : 11.34, and won the 200 m dash with a time of :22.7. The 400 m relay breeze team combined their efforts to take first and to tie the state record of :43-6. They also set a new divisional record of :43-61 the week before. When asked how they felt, the 400 m and 1600 m relay team, sophomore Jason Streak Branstetter, sophomore Shawn Chickenman” Lacey, senior Johnney Dashmaster Schumacher, senior Brett Weasel McCullough, and senior Joe Coyote DuFresne, said with relieved laughs, Nobody can catch the 'breeze' Head coach Larry Wedel was pleased with the efforts of his boys team. It was definitely a super effort by ten great kids. They placed fourth in divisionals and went on to state, scoring five less points than at divisionals and still taking second. They really put their minds to it and got the job done. Ifespite the problems they encountered, the girls team placed fourth overall at state with 24 1 2 points. Senior Kim Singleton was the sole first place finisher with a time of :58.18 in the 400 m run. She broke a sixteen year record in the 200 m dash in divisionals with a time of :26.12. Head coach Larry Mayes had this to say: Well... it started and ended with the success and failure of the relay team. We had asked them to be conservative and just qualify in subs and divisionals. Not only did they qualify for state at divisionals, the relay team set two new divisional records. They ran the 400 m relay in :50.78 and the 1600 m relay in 4:06.58. Coach Mayes also said, At state we told them to go for it. People came to state to see the best, but we just had some bad luck. The relay team, sophomore Laurie Walter, senior Lisa Ridl, senior Lisa Sprlgler, and Senior Kim Singleton, came back however, to take second in the 1600 m relay and set a new school record of 4:04. Congratulations to both teams for the great effort they made at state in 1986. Track 53 Cheerleading promotes school spirit as well as team spirit. The cheerleaders boost spirit by painting posters, decorating lockers and preparing goody boxes for ovemighters. It is exciting to build a winning mood in the crowd and to yell along with the spectators. Not only do the cheerleaders eqjoy seeing the crowd come together, but they also enjoy the opportunity of meeting new people and making new friends. Since the fall of 1984, the cheerleaders have been instructed and organized by Mrs. Sue Suiter. She is a big part of the spirit drive at LHS and exhibits a good example for everyone. The 1985-1986 year was the first year that only Juniors and Seniors were allowed on varsity cheerleading squads. There are three groups of spiritleaders. The varsity basketball cheerleaders cheer for both the girl’s and boy’s basketball games.

ORGANIZATIONS 65 STUDENT COUNCIL BUILDS LEADERSHIP Leadership is a quality that will last forever and is vital in every aspect of life. Student Council develops this leadership. This year Student Council sent six students to leadership workshops. Fredd Rickard, Dan Kindsfather, Robin Hauge, and Traci Hall attended SLW (Student Leadership Workshop) at MSU in Bozeman along with 50 other students from all over the state. Ben Sturman and Jana Jansma attended the National Workshop at Camp Cheley, Colorado. Members also attended the State Convention in Miles City. This convention involved voting on mayor issues in Student council along with famous guest speakers and activities to let the students enjoy while learning. Good Leadership was very evident in the many projects taken on by Student Council this year. Early in the year, Student Council provided the student body with VOICES,” a movie projected on three screens, in stereo, by Camfel Productions which was a mojor event. The movie was designed to help students build self-esteem and self-confidence. Student Council was also in charge of the winter formal in which all members contributed; this cooperation made it a huge success. Another big project sponsored by Student Council was the Trash Can Campaign in which each class was given a hall and a trash can to decorate. It was designed to help keep the halls free of trash which collected during the day. The halls and cans were voted on for cleanliness and decoration. Seniors and Juniors won these awards respectively and were given free admittance to the dance held later. SAC receives its revenue from the vending machines in the main hall and conducted a computer dating program as a fund raiser. This year was a great year for SAC and enjoyable for everyone. For the first time, the Freshman class was completely involved in Student Council. This involvement and training will prove to be a valuable asset in upcoming years of leadership.

Do you recall the show tunes from Casablanca? Of course not! Most of us weren’t around during that era, and we haven’t made it to the Big Apple to see a Broadway musical. The Laurel Choral Department, under the direction of John Asher, brought all of that right into our auditorium at this year’s Variety Show titled SRO, Standing Room Only. The night of entertainment began with several solos from talented concert choir members. Inspirational songs were followed by relaxed top 40’s hits. There was a touch of the hillbillies straight from Hee Haw. Friendship” was a common theme for several seniors who saw graduation and a new step in life looming on the horizon. Younger singers got in some valuable performing experience as a building block for next year’8 variety show. The big finale of the show turned out to be the entire second half. Starting with Those Vaudeville Days,” The Laurelaires filled the stage with half an hour of dance, comedy, and singing in a production entitled SRO.” The audience was thrilled with Chris Wester’s imitation of Jimmyu Durante, and the Laurelaire women turned some heads singing as the lovely Andrews Sisters. The program ended with a fanciful rendition of Be A Clown,” while the singers gave in to some of the best antics ever set forth on the stage of LHS. All in all the SRO Variety Show was well worth the hard work put in by Mr. Asher, Lysa Fox (Choreographer), the solos and groups that performed, and the invaluable behind-the-curtains” help. Congrats on another excellent performance, choral department.

And now I see through all my tears I'll never leave you through the years; No matter what, we'll never part, For I have locked you in my heart. This poem was written by David's sister, dated May 10, 1978. DAVID SMITH 1967 -1986 This has been a year of happy times but also a year of pain when we lost our good friend, David. We will remember his smiling face as he walked down the halls with his many friends. He brought fun times and laughter to his family and friends. David was a delegate to Montana Boys State for the summer of 1896. He was a dedicated wrestler and was involved in AAU Wrestling Squad for eight years and the Varsity Squad for L.H.S. He was a member of Letterman's Club, Concert Choir, and was a four year member of Key Club for which . he was President elect. Outside of school he was very involved with DeMolay and he liked to hunt, swim, golf, skate, and play chess. David was a very special part of many peoples' lives.

Student Life 101 Foreign Exchange Students are a big hit at LHS. 3UI cU 6par hJLrt - HILDE SPANGBERG ALL THE WAY FROM NORWAY Hilde Spangberg, that cute, friendly girl is from Prestfoss, Sigdahl, Norway came to the U.S.A. for the Junior year in high school. According to Hilde, there isn’t much difference between Norweigan and American teens. For instance, Bruce Springsteen, Phil Collins, and A-HA rank at the top with Norweigans and Americans alike. Hilde’s favorite TV shows, Bill Cosby, Family Ties and Magnum P.I. also get top ratings. Hilde, the typical teen, likes Doritos; she also thinks ham-burgers are OK. ___________________ In Norway, Hilde attends school from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. 5 days a week. Along with her other classes. English, a required course, is taker by everyone. They do, however, epeak Norweigan. Although she feels some classes here are hard, she finds some easy. One of her harder subjects is government and her favorite is' Montana History. In Norway after high school, only about 50% of the students will go on to college. Sports like volleyball, track and basketball are also enjoyed by students as is the priviledge of driving a ear. Hilde comments, I really enjoyed LHS. It is fun and exciting. This year has been the greatest and the most fun year in my life. I will always remember everybody as very nice. I wish the class of '87 good luck and have a great year. Love ya all. ffl $ % Takashi, Tanaka ALL AMUR ICAY BOY Nick, like any American, simply loves junk food, especially the strange rubbery stuff” we call licorice. Candy bars are also on top of Nick’s hit parade. People in Japan do not enjoy the finer pleasures of American life. They are unable to get a car until they are both 18 and out of school and no Hawaiian Dances; as a matter of fact, there are no school dances at all in Japan. Nick finds like all American teens that his favorite drink, Jack Daniels, is not legal until he is 19 in America and 20 in Japan. Nick also learned that the international language of girls is NO!!” Takashi Tanaka, better known to us as Nick, likes everything from Jack Daniels to Hardees to Billy Joel to Star Wars. Nick came to the Good 'Ole U.S.A. from Heketa, Japan, population of approximately 10,000 people, just prior to the 1985-1986 school year. He left behind two sisters, Ukie and Maukie, and his parents who remain unmissed!! When in Japan, Nick enjoyed being with his friends, going to discos ($15 to walk in the door), eating Kentucky Fried Chicken, and the all time favorite, McDonalds. On the top of his list is watching the American Movie Channel. While attending Laurel High School, Nick enjoys making friends and has managed to become involved in the 800m and 1600m in track. In the classroom, Nick enjoys English and Computers most. He also feels that biology is very important because in Japan this course is not offeree}- Nick commented that the schools in Japan dictate what classes a student will take. There is no such things as electives for students. The dress in their school is not as casual as ours and bermudas are definately not allowed. Each male student is required to wear a dark blue blazer with five gold buttons, a white shirt and dark blue dress pants. The girls wear dark blue blazers with five gold buttons, a white blouse and dark blue skirt. 104 Student Life Who said a high school education was free? Members of the class of '86 will disagree. Expenses begin to mount long before graduation. A junior at Laurel High School might spend $80 to $300 on a class ring. But the real crusher came as the senior year approached. As early as the summer before their senior year, students began making appointments for senior pictures. With a sitting fee of $20 to $45 and a cost of $100 to $200 or more for the actual photos, the total cost was enough to break any senior’s checkbook. And so the expenses began. Though many seniors spent almost nothing on graduation, others went all out. To help them remember their senior year,--------- Balfour Publishing Company made available memory books, senior keys, picture books, and key chains. None of these are exactly necessities. If a person bought one of each of these items in addition to the senior pictures, announcements, name cards, and cap and gown, the total would come to just over . . . well, let’s not think about that. For another $20, seniors, along with other members of LHS, bought a yearbook to help them remember friends and good times of their school year. Yes, we paid good for that high school diploma and those portable memories and when the dollars dwindled what was the class of '86 doing?? Procrastinating, but we made it. I guess you could say, WE’RE OUT’A HERE!!!” The Bare Necessities Senior Pictures Announcements Cap and Gown Name Cards Total The Extras $150-$300 $100 $20 $30 $300-8450 Memory Book $10 Senior Key $10 Yearbook $20 SAT fee $15 ACT fee $15 Sweatshirt $10 Senior Picnic Ticket $5 Prom $100 Extra Tassel $2.50 Total $187.50 GRAND TOTAL $487.50-637.50 (406) 628-6801 — (TAII P� � « INSURANCE ________J JIM KELLISON Agent 21 First Ave. P.O.
