THE BOYS OF SUMMER: While the weather may at times be indifferent, it's baseball season in Whitehall. Almost all the Whitehall baseball and softball teams are in action, and Whitehall Babe Ruth second baseman Jon Belisario executes a perfect bunt during a game against Butte on May 8.

The Whitehall Town Council appointed a select committee on May 10 to evaluate all town land holdings and buildings with the purpose of improving the use and efficiency of town property. The creation of the seven-member committee was spurred by a discussion of the garage currently used by the Jefferson Valley Search & Rescue (JVSR) unit.
Whitehall High School successfully defended its Academic Olympic Championship on May 10 in Dillon, bringing home the waist-high traveling trophy again. The contest tests the students' aptitude for English, math, science, and social studies.
Whitehall Student of the Week was junior Jessica Bell. English teacher LeeAnn Gallagher said, "A real student! Jessica is a good writer and has worked hard to expand her abilities." Jessica is the daughter of Bruce and Patty Bell. She plans to attend college after graduation and enjoys playing basketball, photography, and writing.
Whitehall's Athlete of the Week was Mitch Cunningham. In Whitehall's two most recent track meets, Mitch won the 1600-meters and 3200-meters at Manhattan and Boulder. "Mitch has worked hard.

Mitch, a junior, is the son of Georgia Cunningham and plans to run track and cross country at MSU after WHS graduation.
WHS Creative Leader of the Week was Valentina Gonzalez, a foreign exchange student.
