Looking Back 25 Years

April 15, 1992

Supporters of a scenic railroad in southwestern Montana are encouraged that Burlington Northern has ended its push to abandon and remove existing tracks between Butte and Whitehall, according to State Auditor Andrea “Andy” Bennett. “I’m very encouraged to hear of BN’s recent decision to rescind its April 30 deadline for a business plan and purchase offer from the Jefferson-Silver Bow Scenic Railroad. It now appears this new railroad will be given a much deserved opportunity to get on track, instead of being derailed by arbitrary deadlines.”

Whitehall’s girls’ track team took top honors Saturday during the Whitehall Booster Club Invitational High School Track Meet’s ten-team competition. The Whitehall team won with 114 points.

Boulder was second with 103, and Sheridan third with 85.

Students recently initiated into the National Honor Society at WHS were: Jennifer Antikainen, John Babcock, Danielle Chadwick, Danelle Davis, Jenny Fellows, Bill Herbolich, Dannie Hippert, Brianna Hoopes, David Howard, Teeje Jenkin, Erik Kirsch, David Kolin, Carrin Layne, Britta Mabbott, Holly Mabbott, Terri Masinelli, Jamie Miller, Jason Salvagni, Carlee Scott, Brent Sears, Shane Stack and Seth Wheeler.

The Whitehall junior and senior high music department will present its third concert of the year on Wed., April 15 in the multipurpose room.

Performing will be the high school concert band and concert choir, junior high concert band and several soloists and ensembles.

Last Friday afternoon Leonard Buhl was guest of honor at a party honoring him for 30 years of service with the Postal Service.
