Students work hard to earn extra money for college and luxuries Many Sheridan High School students spent their spare time working to earn extra money for college, for a car, or just to spend on whatever they wanted to spend it on. The most popular places for students to work were at fast food restaurants, clothing stores, gas stations, and grocery stores. No matter where students worked they all enjoyed the money. 15 Favorites for 1987 Two hundred students were surveyed on their favorite car, commercial, weekend activity, television series, and song. “You Give Love A Bad Name”, and, “Living On A Prayer”, of Bon Jovi’s Slippery When Wet, ran close for favorite song, hut “You Give Love A Bad Name” was the first choice. With television series, “The Cosby Show” and “Moonlighting” were also very close. The winner was “The Cosby Show”. Both won by a small margin. For weekend activities it was surprising that many people chose to stay home and “sleep”. Recently a new weekend activity is dancing at “The Club”, it is a new establishment for kids from 14-18. It features a virgin bar and lots of snacks. Commercials this year were fun and exciting with lots of music. “Noid” from Dominoes Pizza, and the California “Raisin” Commercial were agreed to be the best.

Key major events Historically, these are just a few of this year’s events: Hostage negotiator Terry Waite was taken hostage in Beirut, Lebanon while negotiating for the release of Americans held there. America’s trade war with Japan flared up again, with Congress imposing tougher penalties on the Japanese. The U.S.S. Stark was bombed by Iraq in the Persian Gulf, killing 37 Americans. Tornadoes struck in the Texas town of Saragosa, totally destroying it and killing 28 with a damage cost in the millions. Democratic front-runner Gary Hart dropped out of the Presidential race amid disclosures that he committed adultery. TV crazes swept the nation with Cosby and Moonlighting slipping while Alf, Wheel of Fortune and Max Headroom became very popular. The economy of the nation underwent rapid change with the stock market rising rapidly and then falling off just as quickly. Inflation returned and the dollar fell. The US regained the Americas Cup in a duel with Australia. Meanwhile, Aussie Paul Hogan thrilled audiences with Crocodile Dundee which brought in both packed theaters and an 800'7 profit. The federal budget deficit broke the $1 trillion barrier for the first time in history while the government ran out of money five times this year. Actor Cary Grant died in Iowa this winter after a long, successful career in pictures. The Statue of Liberty turned 100 amid a gala celebration while the US Constitution reached year number 200. AIDS-mania ripped through the country as the disease spread to the “normal” heterosexual community. 18 Events closer to home Wyoming’s economy bleeds Although the national economy continued to grow throughout most of 1986-1987, Wyoming’s economy has undergone the opposite type of change. With Wyoming’s inflation and unemployment rates up over 10% and most of the population threatened with loss of jobs, things looked bleak as the school year ended. Most of Wyoming’s economic problems can be blamed on the depressed oil, gas, and coal markets. Although tourism still remained strong, falling gas prices caused oil prices to drop by half and the number of oil rigs in the state to drop from 37 in summer ’86 to only 24 in June ’87. This especially stung in N.E. Wyoming and the south- ern part of the state. Effects of the bad economy were varied: from a drop in the population as more people moved out of state, thus lowering property values and hurting the already-poor farm industry, to the closing of dozens of businesses, schools, and the Wyoming Wildcatters, who planned to pack up and leave Casper for Sioux Falls, South Dakota. State government has been severely cut, leading to a drop in the budgets of schools, agencies, and the Chamber of Commerce. Gov. Sullivan has promised to keep taxes down as long as possible by further cutting spending whenever possible. I.eft: First Wyoming Bank, formerly First National Bank, which went bankrupt last summer due to bad loans that it could not make up for. Below: The Club, which opened this year to entertain and amuse local teens in a drug-and-alco-hol-free environment. Gov. Sullivan Wyoming voters gave an upset victory on Nov. 4 to Democrat Mike Sullivan, the 4th consecutive election of a Democrat for Governor. Sullivan won the election 88,(KM) to 75,000 for challenger Republican Peter K. Simpson. Simpson had started the race with a lead of 59%-41% in most polls, but the trend quickly began to reverse and by election day the race was “too close too call’’ according to US News World Report. Although Wyoming is considered a Republican state, Democrats now hold 3 of the top 5 state offices. The other 2 Democrats are Sec. of State Kathy Kar-pan and Superintendant of Schools Lynn Simons. State Treasurer Stan Smith and State Auditor Jack Sidi are the 2 Republicans. Democrats also captured 2 more seats in the State House.

Sheridan Broncs take state Broncs end season with only one loss Seniors will be missed, will be top again. When the people say “Who took State?” the first thing that pops in your head is, of course, the Sheridan Broncs. The Broncs took the State Championship over Rawlings this year, 44 to 13. They finished their season with only one loss. Jim Pehringer finished his two year career with a total of 2,371 yards. Bruce Keith states, “He’s a great football player and I hate to see him leave.” Kevin Dennis, Warren Kadrmas, and John Green were also a great help along with the whole rest of the team. The Broncs averaged over 358 yards per game this season. Keith also pointed out that, “The offensive line is the toughest place in football to play and the defensive spirit kind of epitomizes what our football team is all about.” People will always remember this year and it’s team for generations to come. 26 Football 1st row: S.

Football 27 Junior varsity team has a productive season but looks forward to continuing the Bronc Generation The 1986 junior varsity football team had a very productive year. The team worked well as a team as well as individually. Many players stood out as excellent players. The team’s accomplishments were shadowed by the varsity’s exceptional season but, the junior varsity team did very well also. All the players who planned on playing again on the varsity team hoped that they would accomplish as much as the ’86 team did. Many .sophomores played on the junior varsity team and did very well. All who participated tried there best to win every game. The coaches tried to give every player, who gave his effort, a chance to play during every game, but there were some players who stood out as exceptional players. y Above: A Sheridan punter gets ready to kick the hall.

The main factors contributing to this successful season were the players willingness to really work hard and learn from each other along with the strong team unity,” stated varsity coach, Scott Rawling. The Broncettes walked away with first place finishes from both the Reginal and the State tournaments. Ending the year with an impressive 19-6 record. This has been the first year that Sheridan has ever gone to the State tournament, so taking first place was a big accomplishment for the team. Team talents were Lisa Nicholls and Jenny Kuehne. Nicholls was chosen most valuable player and most insperational by her teammates. Nicholls and Kuehne were both elected to All-Conference and All-State, along with being voted to the Regional all tournament team and the State all tournament team. Senior, Margaret Hochhaus and juniors Becky Wyatt and Donna Bender were also voted to the Regionals-all tournament team. Coach Helen Cimbreck’s junior varsity team didn’t do as well as she had hoped for. Cimbreck felt that it was mainly a building year for the team and a time to strengthen some of their weaknesses. Coach Tom Racette guided his sophomore team to a 7-8 final record this year. Racette felt that the first half of the season was mainly directed towards learning and developing skills, where the second half concentrated on putting it all together and really coming together as a team. The sophomore team talents included 'I'anya Bakke and Jennifer Saxton. Bakke, who had never played before, ended the season playing on varsity. Sheridan volleyball came out on top of the pack. And had an exceptionally strong year, which everyone hopes will continue in the years to follow. Coach Rawlings was very proud of his varsity team and the time and effort that they all put into becoming a winning team. The talent and ability that is necessary to become State Champions was never lacking, and along with confidence and strong team unity, this group of girls proved to everyone that they have what it takes to truely be champions. Although next year they will be losing some height and great players, Rawlings knows that they are still capable of having a successful a season as this one was.

Above; Jeff Sanderson concentrates on his ball. The cross country team came off of one of their best years ever in the 85-86 season. They started practice two weeks before the meets began and averaged about 25 miles a week. Their best meet of the season was at Rapid City, where the boys finished second and the girls finished third. Their most improved runners were Hannah Gifford and Kevin Oedekoven, while the most successful runners were Ron Anderson and Debby Anderson. The boys finished twelvth at state, and the girls finished eleventh. Many of the Sheridan Cross Country runners attended Clair Argento’s (Sarge’s) Running Camp. The runners attended camp for five days. During that time, they worked to improve their running skills by running twice a day. On the fifth day, all the runners took part in the Max Run; which stands for Maximum Run. “The golf team improved over the year,’’ according to Coach Harkins, “so next fall we should be a force to be reckoned with.’’ The golf team boys finished tenth at state and the girls finished seventh. Todd Meling and Kurt Abernatha were the most improved golfers, while Scott Hammon scored consistently for the team and was the only one to medal in a invitational. The team began practice three weeks before the season, but practiced on their own during the summer. Unlike last year the golf teams meets were not influenced by bad weather, and the cross country teams only ran in three meets with bad weather.

Above; Neeli Clute trys to find her nametag during a warmup. Swimmers learn importance of dedication The girl’s swim team had an eight win-four loss record this year. Coach Pat Kirk commented, “The girls did pretty good but they could have done better.” They also did well by placing fifth at state, although they did not reach their goal of being in the top three. According to Shannon Terry, “less sickness, more people on the team, and a better attitude,” would have resulted in the team placing higher. Coach Kirk also noted that they could have been more enthusiastic. Never theless, many of the girls did an outstanding job this year. Kirk said that Tonya McPheeters and Courtney Cook tried hard and did well this year. Most people don’t realize how much work goes into being on the swim team. The girls practice for two hours each day, before and after school, swimming a total of about 10,000 meters. Kirk’s job is to oversee the girls and help them improve by encouraging them. McPheeters said, “Coach Kirk is a good coach. He’s excellent. The best there is. He helps us do our best and cares.” Some advice to anyone who would like to join the team: go ahead. It’s a lot of hard work but it’s fun and can be rewarding. This year's All-State swimmers from S.H.S. were the following: Shannon Terry, 100-meter Breast Stroke and 200-meter Diameter; Deb Grady, 100-meter Butterfly; and Jenny Perry, Diving. Coach Kirk is a good coach. He’s excellent. The best there is. He helps us do our best and cares.

Bottom; Jamie Siegal attempts a three point shot, while Scott power blocks an opponent. The Bronc basketball team has been the “leader of the pack” for this year, according to Craig Hougen. The Bronc basketball team had a few faults this year mainly players slacking off, according to Craig Hougen one of the three coaches in the basketball program. According to Hougen his choice for the most improved player of the year was John Rosenland, who was also on the team last year. Joel Dvorak re- placed John Wilson as the new head coach. After Wilson’s resignation. Dvorak, who also coached the boy’s and girl’s Tennis teams, said “I want to try to control other teams with our defense instead of allowing them to control us.” Dvorak’s goals for the team were “a positive mind and making sure the kids are prepared to play.” This year’s coaches were Larry Martoglio, Craig Hougen, and Joel Dvorak. 39 Top; 5, Chad Reed takes a jump shot over the opposing team.

The B-team roster was Jenny Dogett, Michelle Bell, Marcie Fitzpatric, Brandy Reden-baugh, Saundra Farmen, and Sheri Marchant. The managers were Kara Wragge and Shannon Float. The A-team had a regular season re- cord of 8 wins and 3 losses and an overall 10-6. The B-tonm had a record of 3 wins and 4 losses. The season was very successful. Both teams showed big improvement both defensively and offensively throughout the year. In tournament play the A-team placed 3rd in the Gillette Invitational and 5th in the Casper Invitational. The tournament games were very close with no game being lost by more than 3 points. Top Left- An Twin Spruce opponent, watches on as Dena Leath goes for « lay up.

Their record of eighteen wins and three losses proves it. One key to their success was their hard work and dedication. Their dedication really showed in their practices. The girls practiced every night for two hours, including through Thanksgiving and Christmas vacations. Another big factor that kept the team on a winning streak was that there was plenty of teamwork and everyone handled the ball. “The seniors didn’t have a monopoly on the ball.”, says coach Roy Eisenmen. Eisenmen says that although all of the girls played well, Shannon Dunning deserves the most improved title, and Lisa Nichols gets the most valuable player award. The girls team went all the way to the state competition. They lost in an upset to Natrona County High School, taking second place. Coach Eisenmen says that although they could have played better, the girls played pretty well at the state competition, and “somebody had to win and somebody had to lose.’’ Upper right corner: Reeky Wyatt drives past an opponent.

The girls’ and boys’ gymnastics teams concluded their season by placing fifth and second respectively at state. Both teams practiced for 4 months and competed in 9 meets before going to state. The girls’ team was coached by Cathy Fessler and the boys’ gymnastic team by Dave Hoeft. The team will be losing Eric Jackson, Jenny Perry, Janet Fox, and Lori Rader as they are seniors. The girls’ gymnastic team will greatly be affected by the loss of their seniors because they will lose two of their all-around performers, although they will gain at least one freshman all-around performer. Even though the boys’ team losing one all-around performer, their team won’t be affected that much because the others will be able to take his place. A boys’ team member described their year as being very successful. Their highpoints of the year were placing second in state and scoring 120 points in Sheridan at the Sheridan Invitational thus beating Natrona and Kelly Walsh by at least twenty points. The girls’ team highpoint was receiving an average score of 90 at the state competition, replied a girls’ gymnastic team member. The gymnastic team is not certain whether or not they will have freshman on the team next year. A gymnast commented if freshman weren’t on the team, the team would be hurt badly because the freshman gymnasts wouldn’t know their skills as sophomores. 44 Gymnastics Left Top: Experience shows while Jenny Ferry performs a scale at the Sheridun Invitational.

Bottom- While others look on, Bronc swimmer, Chris Parrott executes a dive. This year’s swimming team had a good learning year according to Coach Kirk. They had a record of seven wins and nine losses. The team took fifth in the Eastern Wyoming Athletic Conference, sixth in the Cheyenne Invitational, and seventh in the Casper Relays. Times for the other meets were not given. John Green, Charley Immenschuh, Dennis Pradere, Clint Schrader, John McPherson, Rob Swiss, Eric Hauch, and Mike Rader were the swimmers who qualified for state. Charley Immenschuh and Rob Swiss went for diving. The team took eighth at state with John Green placing first in the fifty freestyle and the one hundred back-stroke. John turned out to be the only Sheridan swimmer to place. John Green had a very good year and was definitely the most valuable swimmer according to Coach Kirk. John was accepted into All-American as a junior which automatically put him in his sen- ior year. His time in the fifty freestyle brought him up to second in the nation. He was the first swimmer to ever make All-American in Sheridan. John was also voted into Senior Nationals. The coach stated, “John has been Wyoming’s best swimmer for quite some time and I was very lucky to get to work with him and the other team members. It was a good learning year and very fun.” John McPherson was voted the most improved swimmer for this year and along with all the other members made a very hard-working team. Coach Kirk stated that the team would be hurt quite a bit by the loss of the seniors, but he hopes they will pull through and make a good team again next year. “I think we had a good hard-working and learning year and have very good potential for doing good next year,” one team member expressed. 47 Wrestlers place seven at State Grapplers “a big surprise” according to coach The SHS wrestling team had a successful year, with two wrestlers taking first place at the state tournament. The two were dim Pehringer at 155 lhs. and Jack Donahue at 98 lbs. Others who placed were Brett Tyree taking fifth at 105 lbs; Jason Johnson taking sixth at 132 lbs; David Rice, sixth, at 138 lbs; Kevin Dennis, second, at 155 lbs; and Andy Maendl at heavy weight taking third. The varsity finished sixth at state and were rated second again this year by the EWAC “which was a big surprise” according to Coach Terry Burgess. “We thought this year was going to be a rebuilding year due to the fact that we lost so many seniors last year.” Andy Maendl was voted the most improved wrestler with a 17-17 record after getting off to a 2-7 start. He also beat a lot of people at state that had beaten him once or twice over the course of the year. Their most improved from last year was David Rice. Most impressive wrestlers were Jim Peh-ringer and Kevin Dennis. Comparing this team to last year’s team, Mr. Burgess said that “the work and potential was better but they lacked in tournament experience.” The team ended up with seven wins, two losses, and one tie. The team voted Jack Donahue, outstanding freshman; Andy Maendl, outstanding sophomore; most improved wrestler, Brett Tyree; outstanding junior; Jim Pehringer, outstanding senior; Justin Martin, outstanding junior varsity wrestler; outstanding varsity was Jim Pehringer; and Kevin Dennis being most valuable wrestlers. Next year’s team should be a fairly experienced team, because they’re only losing two people, Jim Pehringer and Kevin Dennis. The returners will be headed by Jack Donahue, Andy Maendl, Brett Tyree, Justin Martin, Jason Johnson, and David Rice. Jack Donahue as a freshman pinned down the state championship for himself and also set a new nearfall record with 46. Other records were Jim Pehringer with the fastest takedown at 13 seconds.

Soccer may often take a back seat to other sports in America, but don’t tell that to Cindy Rawlings and Tom Ra-cette. Although soccer is not yet the predominant force in Wyoming activities, it is rapidly climbing toward the top of the heap in our region. This year the soccer team trained harder than ever to break all the records and pull themselves up from a less-than-wonderful showing last year. To a large extent, they succeeded. The season’s performance was three times better than the '86 season and the general quality of play and performance was better. Coach Cindy Rawlings said that one of the reasons was that she “put my girls through rigorous exercises consisting of running, dribbling, and shooting drills.” The Bronc and Bron- cette coaches agreed that things were simply better than last year. Practice may be a big part of it, hut it’s not everything for soccer. Coach Tom Racette feels that “the kids could relate, have fun, and learn a lot during practice and during the games as well. The kids who came out for the sport felt good and left the year with the feeling that they really accomplished something.” No matter what contributed to the increase ability of the teams, there is no doubt that this new generation of Broncs and Broncettes can adapt to the condition and outdistance themselves if they really try- which leaves even brighter hopes for the next generation but more imminently, the next season. 51 Track competativeness improves Boys track teams improve as well as strengthen spirits Every Year the boys track teams try to jump higher, run faster, and throw farther than ever before. They must keep in shape not just during the season but all year long in order to perform at their very best. Track can be a very strenuous sport because the people who compete in it must constantly top themselves. Last year they did top themselves placing 8th at state moving up 3 places from 11th place the previous year. Coach Craig Hogan said that last years team performed extremely well adding that he was very pleased with their achievements. Ben Shultz had a very memorable year with three school records in the 600, 3200, and the 3200 relay. Dale Lee high jumped an outstanding 6’6” and placed third at state in that event. Warren Kadrmas also did well placing in the top of the pack in each one of his events. State is always the final goal for the teams and this year Hogan said they were ready for it. “The team is young and strong and will be a great team next year’’ said Hogan. Hogan hopes to place in the top three next year and will work even harder to prepare the team. The team was happy with their accomplishments and is looking forward to next year. This generation of Bronc tracksters can use last years season to grow and gain new incentive for the 87-88 year as well as focus in on individual goals and accomplishments.

The team placed first at the regional meet and was very excited going into the state meet. Jenny Perry was the only state champion on the team. She won the triple-jump competition. Deby Anderson set a new school record in the 800 meter run with a time of 2:15.2. Many individuals were happy with their performances but as a team they were a little disappointed. The goals for the ’88 track season were set and they were to improve the team and to make a good run for first place in the state meet. 54 Top Left: Tracksters Julie Treik and Hannah Gifford run the 3200m. during a meet, against Big Horn.

Both squads had a lot of excitement cheering on the teams. The football, basketball cheerleaders performed two dance routines, “Shake Me” and “At the Hop”. They performed at the Energy Bowl for half time entertainment. The wrestling cheerleaders traveled to every match here and away. They worked equally hard to boost their team’s spirits, although there were twelve football, basketball cheerleaders and only four girls on the wrestling cheerleading squad. None of the four wrestling cheerleaders had ever been on a squad before and thus had a very challenging season. Even though they worked hard to make up totally new moves and cheers they also had a fun year. On parents’ night the wrestling cheerleaders presented the mothers of the wrestlers with yellow carnations, and the fathers with a wrestler pin with his sons name across the top. All of the Sheridan cheerleaders were excited for the upcoming season. The freshman cheerleaders also had a good season. Because of the loss of the junior varsity squad, the freshman cheer leaders had many more chances to cheer. Since the freshman cheerleaders couldn’t travel to away games, they got the chance to cheer for the junior varsity team's home games also. Next season both squads might he set up in a different manner. There will he up in a different manner. There will be one cheerleading squad per sport so the same girls wont be cheering all season. The wrestling squad will have more members. All squads will be victims of the budget cuts. Next year the Sheridan wrestling squad will be very busy, for they will be hosting one of the most important meets that will be held next year. And the football- basketball squad will be getting another dance routine for the next Energy Bowl, and homecoming. Both squads help uphold the school team spirit with both enthusiasm and discipline. The Sheridan High cheerleaders are one of the most disaplined squads in the state. Upper Left; Janelle Hoff dances to the beat of Shake Me” as the FBV cheerleaders do a dance routine at an assembly.

This year they raised money for Ryan Scader who was injured this summer. The Club raised $590 dollars for Scrader. Key Club is sponsored by Kiwanis International and Key Club attends luncheons with the Kiwanis. Key Clubs target this year was to help the handicaped and elderly. They have a special program called “Adopt A Grandparent,” where the elderly people in the community can be adopted by a teen. They also help the Special Ed. children in Sheridan. Under the direction of sponsor, Mr. Ring, Key Club members learn to be responsible, active citizens in the community. Leaders of Key Club are, President, Kristen Elliot; Vice President, Pam Mancini; Secretary, Kershell Kirk; and Treasurer, Debbie Simon. School spirit! Thats what its all about, and Pep Club upholds it the most. Pep Club is responsible for raising all of the schools spirit by doing a number of things such as decorating all of the athletes lockers with balloons and crepe paper and making posters for the halls. Spirit posters are made by club members to show the Broncs and Broncettes that we’re proud of them and want them to win. Spirit Supper also raises the athletes spirits while getting parents and the community involved. Pep Club has also sold Mums and gave out blue and gold balloons at Homecoming. They have also held many assemblies. All of these activities are run by Kirshell Kirk, President; Nikki Ellenwood, Vice President; Kris Josewski and Penny Jones, Treasurer; and Robyn Douglas, Secretary. A lot of work goes into organizing, but its well worth the effort. “Pep Club is all about being peppy,” says Theresa Bowen, “it’s a chance to uphold school spirit and meet new people.” Sponsors of Pep Club are Peggy Holstedt and Patty Davis.

It gets kids of all levels (1-4) together for social occasions and teaches really active members about responsibility,” said French club sponsor Mrs. Wilson. An active year characterized all three foreign language clubs, with ethnic parties, dances, and lessons in German culture being top on the German club’s agenda. Spanish club lists its goals as raising money for the Experiment Scholarship Fund as well as assisting the other two clubs with concession stand sales. French club, along with the other groups, nominated homecoming candidates, sponsored parties, that teach about cultures, donated money to the Robyn Neavill fund, and sold donuts six times during the year. Foreign language students also brought home several awards from the Foreign Language festival in Powell this spring. Although it didn’t quite meet up to the performances of last year, altogether they still brought back five awards each in German and French and three in Spanish. With the move to a new school next year, Wilson said it was hard to tell if foreign language was in for big changes next year, but that things would probably stay about the same. Clubs meet once per month, with various “fun nights” scheduled throughout the year. Wilson also said that spring banquets are held which honor seniors and give awards for points earned for various activities in foreign language. Foreign language seems to be a success “because the members are willing to work hard and see the projects they plan come to a fun conclusion,” Wilson said. “It’s a great group to work with,” she added. With a still-encouraging amount of awards and activities, foreign language seems to have a bright future ahead.

Odom calls year best ever Speech sends two juniors to nationals The SHS Forensics team finished its year with two national qualifiers, Kristen Mitchell and Tina Hoebelheinfich in extemporaneous speaking (the first since 1978) as well as literally dozens of awards. Head coach Susan Odom called its performance “outstanding.” This year 30 members placed in semifinals and finals 103 times, a strong improvement over last year. Freshman Jason Marsden won second in Lincoln-Douglas debate at state and junior Rachel Santine took third in Original Oratory, the first state medalists in a decade. Both narrowly missed nationals in close competition and freshman Ben Williams placed very highly in Student Congress. Highlights of the year include Mitchell and Santine reaching the degree of Special Distinction, the highest mark in forensics, joining junior Sara Douglas. This year was the first time more than one member on the team has held that degree. A first place sweepstakes finish at Gillette was a stunning performance compared to last year. Marsden achieved the Degree of Distinction, the second highest degree, the third ever to do so as a freshman (Douglas and Santine did so two years ago.) Freshmen Suzi Knepper, Samin Dadelahi, and Williams performed strongly in Lin-coln-Douglas along with Mitchell as did sophomores Karin McNutt and Erin Wilson in extemporaneous speaking. Poetry competitors Wayne Kurpjuweit and Nick Dillon and Tracy Nickens did exceptionally well, along with Santine and senior Karen Smith in Drama. Hoebelheinrich and Colleen Kilpatrick were highly successful in duet interpretation. “I have nothing but glowing praise for these students,” Odom said. She feels very confident about next year, with highly talented underclassmen returning. Sheridan placed consistently in sweepstakes in all but a few tournaments this year, with some type of award at all ten meets, a sign that next year the team will continue to grow.

We have a lot of dedicated and involved members this year.” Mrs. Rawlings commented. S-club’s main objective was to get athletes together and to promote school unity. Meatings were held the first Tuesday of each month. Officers for the club were, Les Silvey, President; Janet Fox, Vice President and Shelley Hoyt, secretary treasurer. Money was earned by working concessions during basketball games. The funds for this year were used for Best Athletic Scholarship for club members, and $200.00 dollars was donated to the Robyn Neavill fund, a child with acute lymbastic luekemia. President Les Silvey stated, “This year was thought to be the most unified year among athletes.” Fellowship of Christian Athletes or FCA had a very fast paced year. They meet Tuesdays at the YMCA at 7:30. The three main topics covered this year were: Sex and dating during Prom, rock music and satin (how they have parallels if kids realize what they are writing on their notebooks) and self images, can kids really look in the mirror and say they like themselves. Some events this year were a bowling party at Cloud Peak Lanes, and a movie party. Co-Presidents were Eileen Ligocki; and Jenny Perry, Secretary.

Other achievements this year included participating in Speech, placing first at state in Range Management, and first at state in Agronomy. Twelve students spent many hours in preparation for these competitions. FFA also held fundraisers to raise money for future trips. These fundraisers involved selling concessions at the football games and selling fruit, cheese, and Christmas trees to the community. One trip this year was to the Denver Stock Show. About twenty-five students went on this trip. During the day the students attended the Denver Stock Show. They observed the procedure in operating a stock show. At night the members went to a rodeo in Denver. Before leaving Denver, the students went to the Museum of Natural History. FFA also held the annual Faculty Breakfast. Most of the teachers were in attendence. The members served the teachers coffee, hash browns, sausage, eggs, doughnuts, milk, orange juice, and toast from seven o’clock to eight o’clock in the morning. FFA also held a winter party for the members. During the summer the FFA members finish the year by bringing sheep, cows, pigs, and poultry to the county fair. If the member places high enough with his animal, then the member advances to state fair for competition, the animals are sold and slaughtered. The officers this year included Stacey Jacobs, President; Brian Shreve, Vice President; Janet Fox, Secretary; Andy Maendl, Treasurer; Alyssa Elkins, Historian; and Melissa Albrecht as Sentinel.

The Bronc staff put forth a great effort to put the years events in a yearbook. They worked on spreads during their class time and came in at night to work on spreads that which were behind. To raise money to produce the yearbook they sold adds to many of the local businesses and sold yearbooks as well. To produce a yearbook takes long hard work of interviews, picking photos determining which spread to use and writing captions that tell about the picture completely. It is all very time consuming but very worth while as they produce a great yearbook about a great year, and school. The Ock is an addition to the Sheridan Press each month telling about the sports academics and clubs at Sheridan High. They also have to worry about what goes into their spreads like yearbook. Even though Ock has many of the same jobs as the Bronc staff does the Bronc has to worry about the publishers deadline as well as the class deadline. The Ock took only one to two days to publish as the year book had to be sent to a company and be published over the summer. The Ock and Bronc staffs both worked very hard to produce the school paper and yearbook. Each year the Bronc yearbook has a chance to go to state to compete in a competition between other schools and their yearbooks. The 1984-85 yearbook took state with a very high rating. The most looked forward to event for the Ock staff is the senior wills. Each year the seniors think up things to leave the lower classman some may be humorous others may be personal prankes or jokes. This is the most favorite spread they have for it gave them the chance to have an early peek at them. The Ock and Bronc staffs have fun putting these together, and will continue for the generations to come. And they were truly THE BRONC GENERATION!

They sponsored several dances and contests, such as, the great green slurp off held in April, and also the gong show, which was held in May. They also did a great job of organizing and doing the weekly S.H.S. radio show. In October the Student Body Officers and a few chosen representatives attended the Wyoming Association Of Student Councils (WASC), where they got together with students from all over the State to share ideas and learn more about student leadership. Student body President, Cheri Wells did an excellent job of keeping everyone’s spirits high and getting everything organized and running smoothly throughout the year. Junior, Lee Conley also did a great job as Vice-President. He took over as acting President when Cheri couldn’t be there, and worked hard at making this a great year for everyone.

Most of the city officials volunteered their services for one day to help educate students in Student Council and Honor Society. All students who participated learned more about how the law works in our city and about officials’ duties. It gave students a chance to see equipment of the police and fire department and see how they work. One student council member said, “Student leadership gives students the unique opportunity of seeing the city from the leaders’ points of view. It’s easy to sit back and criticize the government, but until you see it work you really don’t know what you’re talking about.’’ Top Right: A Sheridan Police Officer demonstrates the booking process of the Police Department.

The first event was the SHS Pals which starts at the beginning of the semester. SHS Pals introduces new and transferred students with a coffee hour in the cafeteria, while officers inform new students of SHS activities and clubs. The next big event was leadership day with student council. Students were assigned to a Sheridan Official to learn about leadership roles. Another big event for seniors was the graduating of 1987 which was the first class to wear banners and gold tassels during commencement ceremonies. These items symbolizing their membership in The Sheridan High School Honor Society. The money making projects were a garage sale at Shakees which made $125.00 and babysitting at the Sheridan Home Show which made $300.00. The Qualifications for Honor Society are: Scholarship, leadership, character, and service, rated equally in each student. This years presidents was Lisa Nichols, and Margret Hoachous.

Honor choir was offered to sophomores, juniors, and Seniors. Spectrum was offered to only juniors and seniors. Mixed choir was offered to anyone, and Spice was an all girl choir. Honor choir was the most popular of the four groups. It was a group made up of forty-seven students and according to the director was very successful. Students had to try out to be accepted. This consisted of singing parts of songs with and without the piano. The choir participated in the Teton Music Festival where they placed second. Spectrum consisted of sixteen people, all of who were juniors and seniors. To tryout for this group students had to sing a pop song of their choice and perform choreography steps. In the Casper Jazz festival the group got an overall II + and got first in the Vocal section at the Spearfish Jazz Festival. Mixed choir was open to anyone and consisted of thirty-six people. According to Ms. Shatz, the choir improved alot from the beginning of the year. They received Fs at District here in Sheridan. Spice is a choir consisting of sixteen girls. They sang in all concerts and received I’s at District. They performed songs with some choreography steps. Ms. Shatz was the director of all four groups and seemed satisfied with how they performed this year. Lisa Robertson was the accompianist for the groups. When asked about choir, a member of both Honor choir and Spectrum stated, “Choir is not only a class to help you improve your voice, but it also gives you a chance to go places and meet new people. It’s a great experience.” Top- Corey Macha practices his song for choir in a practice room during lunch. Middle- Honor Choir; First row- Shana Kegerreis, Audra Klein-man, Julie Hall.

The members of the Sheridan High School Band had a busy year keeping the crowd entertained, whether it was a concert, a football game, a basketball game, or a pep assembly. When they weren’t practicing they were raising money for their trip to Colorado. The Marching Band performed at half time for the home football games. They did routines to songs such as Magnificent Seven” and “Durango”. The pep band inspired the crowd to join in at the basketball games. They coordinated routines with the cheerleaders and did short numbers such as “Wipe Out”, “Preacher Man”, and “Go Big Blue”. The Concert Band put on concerts for the public and played at pep assemblies. Sheridan hosted the annual District Music Festival where participants solos and ensembles were judged. Gary Glass, Wade Mendenhall, and Aaron Roberts participated in the All-State Band in Riverton. This year’s Jazz Band was made up of twenty-two people. They traveled to Billings and Casper for jazz festivals and performed at the elementary schools. The Jazz Band will join the Concert Band in traveling to Colorado to participate in competition. The concert band went to Colorado Springs for competition May sixth through the tenth. They raised money by putting coupons on items at Boyds, Buttrey’s, and Warehouse Market. “We appreciated the community’s support in financing our trip,” commented one band member. In Mr. Loveridge’s second year at Sheridan High School he has succeeded in keeping the member’s interests high. He has taken the band on two trips and hopes to continue. One freshman member said, “These trips are fun and educational while keeping band members interested in performing for the public.” Above- Playing enthusiastically, Justin Engle performs at the homecoming game.

The class teaches the students the reality of married life. Students are put together with a partner at the beginning of the semester by the teacher, Mr. Darnell. These partners work together throughout the semester by getting engaged, married, having children, and finally getting divorced. The students realized that divorce wasn’t just a simple signature. The second semester classes enjoyed mock marriages and a reception for each of them. The first semester, however, didn’t have the mock marriages this year. After the wedding the husband and wife planned a budget. After figuring out a budget, the couples designed their home. Rooms for the children have to be included in the design, just in case. Goldfish were cared for by the students for a week as a simulation of children. Babysitters had to be hired, the children had to be well fed, and an obituary was written if the child died.

Dances were held Saturday nights, from 7:30 to 11:00 at the Sheridan County Roller Rink. Costing $2-$3 (depending on company), “The Club” was approximately 50c to $1.50 less than going to the show and $4-$5 cheaper than cruising. Committees helped organize these dances, some students even volunteer to clean-up in order to obtain free passes to the next dance.

Many of the students here at SHS have had to deal with this form of punishment at least once, while others are frequent, visitors. Each day a different teacher holds Detention for one hour after school. Students who have gotten into trouble are assigned to go to Detention for several things, such as skipping, chewing, forging, being tardy, and disruption. Most of the people asked about Detention, described it in one word- BOKING. Lef - A familiar sight to some, room 103 served as detention.

Just about anyone you ask will tell you that they are sick and tired of having rubbery hot dogs three days out of the week for lunch. Delicious hot dogs dishes comes in several forms: beans and weiners, pig-in-a-blanket, corn dogs, polish sausage, and hot dog on a bun. If you happen to be one of those people who enjoy hot dogs, well, let’s just say that you’re extremely lucky. Right- After having hot dogs so often, students soon agree with this; NO HOT DOGS.

Students are breaking into lockers and taking articles. From pencils to library books, oranges to lunch tickets, the theives will take anything of value. Students try hard to prevent these thefts but their efforts are sometimes worthless. People have getting their locker combination changed and putting home locks on their lockers. Although this is done, people still find ways to get into a locker. Sometimes the theives get to the point of ripping off doors or the tops of the lockers to get a lousy pencil. Why do students do this? certainly it’s not because they can’t afford to buy a pencil, but because they want to get attention and take the risk of getting caught . Left- Unfortunately some student were aiwigned lockers that were damaged which made theft easier. 105 Above- Becky Wyatt and Donna Bender have some fun on a volleyball trip.

The !?@ bathroom stall door won’t open. Is this a cruel joke by the janitors to induct you into back into the swing of S.H.S. You yank, pull, even cuss at the door until finally it swings open to reveal a large crowd that has accumulated outside the door. These people pity you thinking, “Thank goodness that’s not me,” but still they laugh. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Fortunately, next year it will be the junior high’s problem.

Pet peeves lunch to quizzes We asked several students about their pet peeves at SHS. Here are some of the more popular ones: -candy, trash, sunflower seeds and other misc. objects in the drinking fountains. -teachers who give homework over the weekend and give pop quizzes, -left-overs for school lunch, -under-sized lockers; partners who are slobs. -bathroom doors that stick; washing your hands and then discovering that there are no paper towels. -people who walk super slow down the hall when you are in a big hurry. Left- Locker partners can sometimes get totally out of hand and begin cleaning out your lockers the easy way. Ill Students see leaders’ points of view and their jobs Student leadership day was held in May this year. Most of the city officials volunteered their services for one day to help educate students in Honor Society and Student Council. All students who participated learned more about how the law works in our city and about officials’ duties. It gave students the chance to see equipment of the police and fire department and see how they work. One student council member said, “Student leadership gives students the unique opportunity of seeing the city from the leaders’ points of view. It’s easy to sit back and criticise the government, but until you see it work you really don’t know what you’re talking about.” Above- Daring leadership day, Diana Rogers holds a Sheridan Police officer at gunpoint.

Doesn’t it seem rather strange to you that some people are tan all year round? Maybe this wouldn’t seem strange if you lived in California, but in Wyoming, where winter lasts 9 months out of the year, people usually do not look too good in shorts in February. Girls are primarily the regular customers. Some flock to tanning beds to look nice for a special occasion, such as prom, but most just enjoy looking tan all year round. Left- During the winter, tanning beds are a popular way to keep from blending in with the snow. 113 Above: Dan Redderth and Shane Salyards show there stuff Top: Pictured are Prom King Kelley Hoyt, Queen Eileen Ligoki.

Three months of planning helped make a successful Prom, held early in the spring on April 25. Balloons filled the Holiday Inn Convention Center after the junior class finished the hard work of decorating. Mrs. Goodman and Mr. Mathews, the class sponsors, helped the decorating committee tremendously. The music was furnished by Rock On Wheels from Cheyenne, and freshmen helped by serving refreshments. After-Prom activities included movies at the Centennial Twin Theaters and a breakfast served at the Elks Lodge. There were many Prom participants and many on-lookers watching the Grand March. Prom night was an especially memorable night for everyone involved. After a quiet dinner at a favorite restaurant, the couples drove to the Holiday Inn where this year’s prom started with the traditional Grand March. A colorfully lighted waterfall accented the background as the girls in their dresses were escorted by their dates. The theme “Back In The High Life” seemed very fitting. 115 116 '-V Above: Kelly Hoyt sneaks a kiss from Prom Queen Bileen Ligocki after the crowning.

A few tears are shed and good byes to long time friends make these days special. Being a senior all year had its serious responsibilities, seniors expected to be taken seriously, especially by underclassmen. Although they were quite cooperative to be as nice as possible. The seniors enjoyed their sponsored dance at the country club, and used it to it’s fullest advantage. When Sunday finally arrived it brought about major change.

He’s been an All State swimmer four years in a row, and was voted an All American his junior year. He holds 14 school records and 2 state records in the 100 back and 200 IM. Adding to these accomplishments, his biggest achievement was qualifying for the Olympic Trials last summer. Green set a record in the 100 meter backstroke at the Junior National Western Regional last summer. In doing so he qualified for the Olympic trials in June 1987. The Junior National features swimmers 19 and under. Green’s record of 58.86 was 200ths of a second behind the winning time, making him the second fastest in the country. 139 Sheridan loses a good friend in Mark Mark Leugge, a member of the class of 1987, passed away June 23, 1986, as a result of a tragic electrical accident. He was the son of Keith and Linda Luegge, and the brother of Brian Luegge, a 1990 SHS class member. Along with his playing, hunting, and skiing, Mark’s outstanding wit and personality made him a very likable person. He is greatly missed by all his friends. The class of 1987 wishes he could be with us today and grants his family our deepest con-dolances. Top 1-eft- As the Broncs play on to another victory, the students of SHS show that we are number 1.

New leadership for board Carlson chosen to fill Shovlain’s post For the first time in 16 years, the District 2 School Board opened this year under the guidance of a new superintendent. Dr. Russ Carlson was hired by the board to replace E.R. Shovlain. Shovlain retired at the end of last year ending 36 years of service to Sheridan County Schools. Board members were optimistic about the new year and were considering several new programs. Other new board members this year were Elizabeth Shelton and Luella Stroup, who were elected August 19 in the primary election, along with Dr. Virginia Wright, who was re-elected. Their terms will last three years. Board member Jack Pilch stated that no major cutbacks are planned for the school district and it depends on how the state legislature plans the next budget whether or not there will be major cutbacks in the system. “We just don’t know what they’ll do to our budget,” Pilch said. The board’s main issue this year was that of setting rules for the new high school, set to be completed this summer. Among the issues debated were an open or closed campus, new hours for the school day, and number of courses required for seniors. Also debated was whether or not to close Linden and or Taylor Schools and the institution of a drug and alcohol counseling program. Other than considering new propositions, the function of the board is “to provide equal opportunity for all children in the district to receive a free public education, which is pretty broad.” This includes, according to Pilch, approving all bills and vouchers and to set general policy for the district. The board is looking forward to a new and productive year under new leadership. Although Pilch states that the board hasn’t faced any crucially important issues that could change if the budget is cut by the legislature.

Administration 149 Behind the scenes janitors, librarians, aides, cooks Many individuals must work together to make S.H.S. run smoothly. Many of these people go virtually unnoticed every day. These people include the janitors, librarians, aides, and cooks. Frank Mediate, a janitor at S.H.S. for almost ten years, says he works from 2 F.M. to 10:30 F.M., Monday through Friday. The best part of his job, Mediate adds, “is when the kids are out.” Mr. Ingalls, head librarian at S.H.S., works from 8 A.M. to 4 F.M. weekdays. He trains aides, and manages “all aspects of the library.” He finds the “clerical drudgery” of his job the least likable aspect, but does enjoy helping people. Hannah Shannon has been an aide at S.H.S. for three years. The aides, she says, work from 8 A.M. to 2 P.M. on weekdays. Her job includes “typing tests and running them off, keeping in- ventories and sometimes monitoring classrooms.” Mrs. Shannon says she en joys her work. Mary Jane Legerski has been head cook at S.H.S. for four years. She says about 500 kids eat hot lunch every day. Her job is mostly a management position, and therefore she has a lot of responsibility. But, says Mrs. Legerski, she loves her job because she “likes working with kids.” Mrs. Legerski says if the meals were up to her instead of being govermnent planned, she would have the same meal on a certain weekday. Legerski says she would like to put in a snack bar, ice cream machine, and salad bar. She feels that kids need a larger variety of foods to choose from. Although these people’s jobs have little recognition or glory, they are a necessary factor to keep SHS running as it should. Top Right; Debbie Dudrey runs off photocopies of a coming assignment.

I Artists make a statement Students create another fun year in art The Fine Arts at S.H.S. has extraordinary and exciting classes. Among them are Commercial Art, Creative Drawing, Printmaking, Ceramics, Advanced Ceramics, and Sculpture. These classes are taught by Jeff Poulson and Ed Murphy in the early building, with the exception of Photography which is taught in room 217 in the Main Building. In the Commercial Art Classes, work is done that promotes products and businesses. The class designs logos, brochures and posters. Russ Constible, who had Commercial Art first semester does a lot of art on his free time. He has designed logos for the Archery Company and Taxadermists. Russ has also designed the 1987 cover of the Bronc yearbook. Jane Duncan is also in Commercial Art besides being in the Drawing and Painting class. In the Wyoming Trucking Association “Logo Contest”, Jane placed 3rd out of 97 participants. This is just a few things that the artistic students at S.H.S. do. All you have to do is walk by the display case in front of the Art Room and see the marvelous pictures, paintings, pottery, and sculptures done by the students. To be in Fine Arts Class, “You need a lot of patients”, says Jolie Fay who has both printmaking and advanced drawing. Putting together new ideas for a sculpture or a picture takes time and effort, but is usually very rewarding in the end. The Fine Arts Classes can prepare you for future jobs in the artistic fields such as architecture, fashion designing, or interior decorating to name just a few. Art courses can be a rewarding experience. Working with the airbrush on his State winning picture is Jim Billings.

According to Mr. Donahue, head of the Math department, there will be many changes made in Math as far as who teaches what classes. But, as of right now, no definate decisions have been made. This year held the usual curriculum for students in these two areas of study. Many participated in the Math series consisting of General Math, Algebra, Geometry, and Algebra II. Some even went on to harder classes such as. Cal culas, Analitic Geometry, Trigonometry, and Probability and Statistics in order to better prepare themselves for college. Some of the difficult English classes, such as, Logic, General Semantics and Expository Writing were popular with students after they had completed the requred classes. There have been several new Literature classes added to next years curriculum which broke down the old ones into different sections in order to be able to get a more in-depth study of each one. More changes concerning teachers and so on will be made next year on the English department as well. Mr. Koneman, head of the English department, along with Mr. Donahue are both looking forward to being in the new school, and plan to have a great year.

The various trips they took included Dr. Mohatt’s and Dr. Lidalh’s offices, Lake DeSmet, the bird farm, the Planetarium in Gillette, and an Ecology field trip. New lasers and telescopes were purchased for the science depart- ment. Three student teachers worked in the two departments, Maureen Amen-dola and Mark Dunn in science, and Scott Torvic in social studies. Science students were not requred to take any specific classes, although Biology was recommended. Above: Gina Wells reads during a study time.

These courses were optional but highly recommended for students wanting to enter the business world. Drivers Ed. students learned basic driving skills, techniques of safe driving and traffic laws, consequences of alcohol and drugs while driving are stressed very strongly by instructors Craig Hougan, Dick Buehler, Cliff Harkins and Bert Dow. This one semester class required thirty hours of classroom simulators, and 12 hrs of actual behind the wheel driving. Two cars were donated each semester by our local automobile dealers. Usually first semester students were faced with bad roads and typical Wyoming weather but this year, that wasn’t a factor. On the other hand, Business classes prepared the students for jobs in the clerical and accounting fields along with valuable skills for everyday use. There were several courses offered in the business department: such as shorthand, typing and computer classes. Money management courses were also offered, the students gained knowledge of financial matters, and money management although these courses weren’t required, students were highly recommended to take at least one before graduating: especially those who plan to go on to college. The computer classes seemed to be fairly popular as a result of the increasing use of computers for everyday use. Also business education classes could be used on a resume for a job, and also look very impressive to the employer. Most who graduate from S.H.S. have taken at least one business or Drivers Ed class before they graduate. Above: Mr. Dow lakes a break during Driver’s Ed to pose for the camera.

Vocational Education offered many classes to students and taught them valuable skills for life after high school. Some of the classes offered were clothing, basic foods, marriage and family, carpentry, electronics, machine shop, and welding. The clothing students made clothes for themselves while the basic foods students learned about the foods we eat. Marriage and family students learned how it felt to be married and have children when they had to carry around goldfish. While the elec- tronics students learn how to become electricians. P.E. students were taught how to keep themselves fit. They had different activities. There was a swimming unit, a gymnastics unit, and a game unit where they played games such as softball, and basketball. The advanced P.E. students alternated running days with weight lifting days. The running days led up to a mile run for time and the weight lifting section was to improve maximum weight lifting abilities. 164 � £• « Top; Martolio’s P.E. class plays basketball as one of the many games they play.

Every student who had spent four years gaining knowledge inside the walls of the old building had been a member of the BRONC GENERATION. Above- After a hard-earned, well played game, Kevin Dennis gets a congratulating hug from his coach. Right- On those long bus trips, the floor is often an inviting sight. Top- Facing Sheridan High, the Kendrick mansion is a popular tourist, spot. Bottom- Before the game- Kim Jensen, the lone-scorer in the semifinal soccer game, physics herself up. 187 1987 SHERIDAN BRONC-VOLUME 80 THEME: Bronc Generation 200 pages, non subsidized book 750 copies ordered Trim Size 9 x 12 COVER: custom screened binding sewed base ink; white 693 first applied color; blue 285 second applied color; yellow 115 END SHEETS: yellow 115 Souvenir bold 36 pt. headlines Century schoolbook 24 pt. subheads body copy 10 pt. caption copy 8 pt. division 60 pt.
