From Sentinel Kiwanis Club H18K Hellgate Hillbillies: ** Sadie Hawkins '89 B?* Sadie Hawkins '89 took place on November 4. at Hellgate High School's gymnasium. For many, Sadie Hawkins is not just a dance where the girls ask the guys. The night traditionally starts out with dinner, then the dance and for many, a group of couples will get together to watch movies after the dance. Dressed in their westerns, dancing to country music, some even took it a step further by having dinner in a barn and riding in the back of a hay filled truck.

Kate has also directed two grade school plays as an after school job in Alaska.

in the year 1967. Hellgate had PEP CLUB many different kinds of clubs. One of these clubs was an all girls club that was known as Pep Club. Pep Club, advised by P.E. teacher, Mrs. Manthey, was an organization for girls who wished to get involved in the school. At the time, girls' athletics had not yet entered the highschools. For girls who wanted to join Pep Club, they had to first join Booster Club, which was similar to Pep Club. Pep Club ended for many reasons, one of which was incoming girls' athletics. BHK

t i State champs: First time ii Coming into the state tournament with a season record of 12-9. the Hellgate Knights were not picked to win the tournament. In game one. against Billings West, the number one team from Eastern Montana. Hellgate stunned the Bill ings fans by coming away with a 15 point win. 55-40. After the buzzer went off. Hellgate's student crowd chanted, "over-rated number one!" There was no doubt that the Knights would be in the champion ship game as the game against Helena wound down to a 55-51 win for the Knights. Hellgate would play Big Sky. the holders of the past two state trophies for the championship. Harry Adam's Field House was fil ed with 3500 fans. Hellgate dominated through the first half of the game, out scoring the Eagles two to one. In the second half. Big Sky scored 38 points to Hellgate's 22, bringing the Eagles over the Knights, 52-51. That's when Stacie Jacobsen drew a foul: she made both free throw shots to pull the Knights above the Eagles 53-52. Big Sky tried unsuccessfully to MUGd/. make last second shots. It was the first time Hellgate had ever won a girls' basketball state tournament. The first time the tourna ment was held in Missoula, and it was head coach Bill Gaul's first year of coaching Varsity Girls' Basketball at Hellgate. Junior Nicole Lindstrom said.

Three years ago, Ruben Martinez came to Hellgate as the new wrestl ing coach. He faced an incredible task. He had to earn respect, over come a team that was "very sad," and develop a program that could excell over the years. Hellgate's population didn't recognize that a wrestling team even existed and teams around the state agreed. A duel match against the Hellgate wrestling squad was an easy victory. * But in 1989-90. Hellgate's wrestl ing team had a wining season with a record of 7-6 and placed nine I Roll over, play dead. Junior Ian Weber works hard for a pin. wrestlers at state. Throughout the season, the success of the wrestlers was posted on the school walls and exclaimed in the daily bulletin. The wrestlers had been issued a challenge -to overcome a student body that didn't know they existed—and they responded. The tactics worked; attendance rose at home matches. The Hellate wrestl ing squad had crawled out from under the mat. The battle wages on and with small steady steps and recognizable goals, they strike their blows. Forty four wrestlers started out the season this year and the goal for next year is 50. The team placed 5th at state and would like to move up next year. They want to be a strong team next year and the odds are in their favor. They only lost two wrestlers to graduation. They also want respect. Coach Martinez summed it up, "The kids deserve a lot of respect and no one has given it to them. That means other students, other teams, other coaches. Even the kids themselves haven't given themselves the respect they deserve. I have one other thing to say...watch out for* the next year!" •HK

The frosh team will become the J.v, team next year. Due to the Knights' suc cess this year, coach Mar tinez is expecting more students to come, out for the wrestling squad next year. "The freshmen this year were a real talented group of wrestlers," said coach Mar tinez. "Some of the wrestlers like Eric Senrud and L.A. Tracy have good chances to make the Varsity team next year and will give the juniors and seniors a run for their money." Cain Kras, Gary Johnson, Shane Moore and Jon Jasperson also did well this year. BHK Varsity Volleyball The Hellgate 1989-90 volleyball season started off as a strong top ranked team coached by Vicki Brown. The team was not excep tionally tall, but what they lacked in height, they made up for with desire and hard work. As the season progressed, the team became noticeably stronger and more complex in thier level of play. As of mid-February, the team was half way through their season and had big hopes of suc cess at the state games. BHK

Along with changes, inventions have been made that make our life easier and j more relaxed. When we look back, freshmen twenty five years ago would have died for the chance to walk a couple of blocks away from school at lunch to avoid the dreaded "cafeteria scene," But back in 1966, the only get away for freshmen, since they couldn't drive, was a title store in Hellgate, on the second floor that sold things from can dy bars to lined paper. That little store was called the "Pay n Take It." Although it wasn't your local McDonald's or Burger King, it satisfied many freshmen who would probably ended up starving to avoid the cafeteria. Although freshmen today still don't have their driver's licenses, • they can go to places such as Temptations (a little eating place on the other end of the block that Hellgate is in that sells food from hot dogs to a variety of frozen yogurt) and the Sugar Shack (a restaurant next door to Temptations that sells food from cheeseburgers to a variety of donuts). These places make it a lit tle easier for freshment to avoid the "cafeteria scene." I know it doesn't seem like a big deal. Today, most freshmen wouldn't really take a step back and look at the variety of choices the have for lunch that are within walking distance, but the freshmen from 1966 would have loved the opportunity to walk two block for hotdogs. donuts or frozen yogurt. The freshmen of the 1980s don't think that it's a big deal, to drive across town for lunch, since the driving age is fifteen for those who have taken driver's education. Maybe freshmen someday will realize how lucky they are. Maybe in another 25 years, in the year 2016, maybe freshmen will be able to drive. No one knows the future. HHK

He could speak very little English when he left his home in the Bavarian Alps. He joined his brothers, who owned a dry goods store in New York. He spent his first two years in America selling clothing and household items throughout New York and Kentucky. Encouraged by exciting tales of the Gold Rush in California, Levi Strauss moved to San Francisco in 1853, intending to sell his brothers' dry goods. After talking to local miners, Strauss realized that they need ed a sturdy pair of pants which would withstand the rugged wear and tear of working in the Sierra foothills. He took some canvas to a tailor and had him create a pair of pants. Word spread about "those Levi pants," and Strauss soon set up shop not far from his home. This was the beginning of one of San Francisco's oldest and most successful businesses. Levi Strauss began turning > out dozens of pairs of overalls. To achieve an unvarying color. 4 Strauss switched to heavyweight denim in the I860's and used an indigo blue dye. By 1873. copper rivets were \ used at all points of strain on the pants. The west's most rugged pants became the uniform of the cowboy, lumberjack, railroad worker, miner, farmer and oil driller. Levi jeans are the only item of wearing apparel whose style has remained basically un changed since the first pairs were produced during the Gold Rush days. BHK Hellgate students: in their prime
