M School Administration Has A Successful Year MUCH TIME and thought is spent in the administration of a school. The school administration worked to make the year the best ever. A number of new additions have been made on the building and in class rooms. These include a new roof on the gym, a ceiling in the gym, a concrete kitchen floor, a ceiling for the Kindergarten room, new desks in the offices and for the teacher, new books for the library, and a new piano for the Music Dept. The Scott Foresman English series was provided for the first seven grades and the New Modern Math series was also introduced. A Drug Abuse film was sponsored to make students aware of the dangers involved. Bob Mull served as President of the School Board until April.

Mr. Whalen presented Mr. DeWitt a plaque of appreciation from the School Board. Mr. DeWitt also received a fishing rod and reel from the faculty which Mrs. Boedeker presented. Dan Malan, on behalf of the student body, gave Mr. DeWitt a flashlight, a thermos jug, and an ice chest. Mrs. Griffis read a poem she wrote about a day in the life of a custodian. Mr. DeWitt served Malta Bend High School for 17 years as a custodian. He will be missed! A C T I V I T I E S WHi ESBfcv-V.;. Pam Reigns As BarnwarmirT Queen Tunnels of hay, apple cider and doughnuts set the pace for the annual Barn- warming which was on October 17, 1972. The highlight of the evening was the queen crowning. Five girls were chosen from the junior and senior classes by F. F. A. mem- bers. Pam Wade was crowned the 1971-72 F. F. A. Sweetheart by Dan Malan, Presi- dent of the Chapter. Voted in as her attend- ants were Barb Kiehl and Laura Stockman. Pam was presented a necklace and jacket. The attendants received compacts. Queen Pam Wade Ptolemy Appeared A MBHS The Malta Bend Juniors and Seniors presented the play, You Were Born On A Rotten Day , on April 28,1972. The public was urged to attend and did. This helped make the play a real success. This year's play dealt with astrological events which took place at Galileo High School with real students. Danny Malan had the lead as Ptolemy, the astrol- oger. The play was directed by Mr. Perkins with the assistance of James Taylor and Barbara Kiehl, the student directors. People stood and waited until the play began. 18 Mary works hard on the play. Coach and Miss Johnson meet Yvonne, the new Students listen to their teacher, student teacher.

The bas- ketball containing the name of the Queen was thrown and the name was read by Dan Malan. The roar from the crowd was deafening as Paula Wade was crowned '71-'72 Court- warming Queen by Dana Marcusen, '70-'71 Queen. Dan Malan, Bas- ketball Captain, pre- sented the Queen with roses. Her two attend- ants were Beth Gauldin and Laura Stockman. Music was provided by the Bittersweet for an evening of entertainment after the hard fought games with Bogard.

School-wide activities included Backwards Day on Monday, Smile Day on Tuesday, Dress-up Day on Wednesday, and Sadie Hawkin's Day on Thursday. Students wore an article of clothing backwards on Backwards Day. On Tuesday, Mark McRoberts was awarded a certificate declaring him winner of the contest to find the person with largest smile in MBHS. An all-school roller-skating party was enjoyed by students after school on Tues- day. Marriages were performed by Mary Kiehl at noon on Sadie Hawkin's day and were followed by a chase by the girls to get a guy.” The TWIRP Dance concluded a week of festivities. Music for the dance was provided by the Bittersweet, a Marshall group. Elab- orate decorations complemented the dance's theme, A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes. Doug Hutcherson was crowned TWIRP King by F.H.A. President Barbara Kiehl during an intermission of the dance. Bill Kiser and Danny Malan were other members of Doug's Royal Court.

The Juniors worked long and hard for the deadline of May 13. They were proud to present a beautiful and romantic prom, Colour My World, to the waiting Seniors. The prom consisted of many pastel colors and a baby blue ceiling. The main attrac- tion was the brilliance of the color that was displayed by the flowing fountain and pool in the center of the room. The night was highlighted by the reading of the Senior Will by Paula Wade and the Junior Prophecy by Pam Wade, both presidents of their class. The Seniors were espe- cially grateful to the Juniors for all their hard and dedicated work.

Laura was chosen by the Commandant's Section of the Wentworth Military Academy of Lexington, on the basis of the senior pictures submitted. Beth Gauldin, Mary Kiehl, and Barb Kiehl are her attendants. Assistant Commandant, Cap- tain Todd said: Each year the judging has become harder and harder. This year it was impos- sible. They all are very attrac- tive and deserve to be queens. LAURA STOCKMAN, QUEEN wmm • � • • • iivvferir '.'

The Ti- gers rolled over Southwest 28-27, but fell in semifinal play to Stet 24-26. A victory over Wheeling gave the Tigers the third place prize, and was a significant note of the team's success.

During the year the Student Council was faced with many problems and they proved able to handle them properly. This year the main highlight of the Stu- dent Council's work was the Annual Awards Banquet. They hope that every year will become better and more interesting through student cooperation. Student converse with and express their feelings to President Dan Malan. Science Club Enjoys Trip To St. Louis PIZZA PARTIES and refreshments kept the attendance of the Science Club up. Mr. and Mrs. England again took the reigns of sponsorship. Officers for the 1971-72 year included Danny Malan as President; Beth Gauldin, Vice President; Pam Wade, Secretary; and Doug Malan, Treas- urer. Speakers from Warrensburg gave an interesting and informative talks on the laser beam. Several of the members later participated in a local Science Fair. The members planned a trip to St. Louis for April 14, 1972. Tours were taken at the St. Louis Zoo, Planetarium, and a Science and Art Museum. The trip proved to be a learning experience. At the year's end the members agreed it had been a very productive and worthwhile year. Science Club—Row 1: Mr. and Mrs. England, Advisors, Barb Kiehl, Nina Wade, Wanda Palmer.

Sells Candy For A Money-Making Project THE GOAL OF THE F.H.A. was to make the 1971-72 school year the most productive in recent history. There was an overall desire to improve the monthly F.H.A. meet-, ings. A point system was set up to improve attendance records. Each girl had to attend a prescribed number of meetings before the spring trip could be taken. Meetings were highlighted by an interesting speaker at each meeting. Selling candy was the main project which helped keep the F.H.A. treasury in balance. In December the girls entertained the F.H.A. at a Christmas party. The Student Council cooperated with the F.H.A. to help make the annual Twirp Week successful. F.H.A.

The newspaper staff has worked constantly day after day trying to meet the deadline for every Tiger Clause issue. It proved to be evident that the CMJEA Journalism Workshop, which the Newspaper Staff attended on September 30, 1971, helped the staff publish a better newspaper. The newspaper staff produced a monthly edition of Tiger Clause for the student body, and it was appreciated by all. Workshop Proves To Be Helpful STICKY FINGERS, RUBBER CEMENT, AND PICTURES became the most usual scene at the frequent yearbook staff meetings. The workshop at Warrens- burg gave the staff new ideas and a better in- sight of what they wanted their book to be like. They feel confident that their hard work and careful planning has paid off, and that the '72 Ti- ger Tales is the best ever. Row l: Hal Boedeker, Danny Malan, Doug Malan.

Cheers, Chants, And Spirit Pull The Tigers Through PULLED MUSCLES, hard work, and long, hot days of practice was the experience the Sr. High Cheerleaders had at camp in July. The camp was sponsored by the National Cheerleaders Association, and was held at Missouri Valley College in Marshall. Six girls attended the camp and felt that they had really benefited from it. During the year the cheer- leaders tried to raise the school spirit at M.B. They finally succeeded during Court- warming. Skits were put on by the Senior girls, which every- one enjoyed. The Cheerleaders were successful from that time on. Row 1: Edith Whalen. Row liams, Dana Robertson. 2: Pam Wade, Pam Williams, Debbie Egan.

Jr. High Cheerleaders Inspire Teams CLAP YOUR HANDS! was the cry of the Jr. High Cheerleaders as they strove for participation from the stands. Several new cheers helped to spark spirit among the crowd. Tryouts were held and two new cheerleaders were chosen. They were Linda Samson and Jan Black- burn. Returning from previous cheering were: Elaine Clouser, Jayne Robertson, Luanne Ehrhardt, Captain; and Rhonda Wansing. The cheerleaders began the sea- son with new uniforms they chose, with the help of their sponsor, Mrs. Kay Plymell. The cheerleaders received awards at the end of the year for their hard work and service to the Jr. High teams. Row l: Linda Samson, Luanne Ehrhardt. Row 2: Jan Blackburn.

Malta Bend High School music students were out to prove their abilities by attending Mar- shall Music Festival Friday, February 25, and District Contest at Warrensburg April 7, 1972. There were mixed emotions after a long days' work, but the overall learning experience was the most important factor of the Music Contests. The Music Department entertained again on March 2, by providing the program for the March P.T.A. meeting. Both large and small ensembles participated. Flute Duet: Sally Robertson, Pam Wade.

They also learned to count and say their numbers. One of the most exciting things that happened was the Christmas program. The children sang songs for their parents. Miss Pam Highlights First Grade ’’THERE’S A GERBIL in the first grade room” was the rumor that was going around school. But this rumor was true. The first graders had a pet gerbil in their room and they called it ’’Miss Pam”. They had fun though taking care of it and also being taught reading, writing, science and math. In the reading program the first graders were taught more phonics than ever which kept them busy along with other special projects.

This transition was just one phase of a coordinated communications program and the children created some reading books of their own and completed endings for stories. Salt paintings and crayon initial designs were displayed at the March PTA meeting. Birthday treats and room mother parties at Halloween and Valentine's were happy occa- sions. The rhythm activities enjoyed on indoor days included Shoemaker's Dance, I See You, and others. The boys were prancing stick-horses and the girls were graceful Christmas trees in the Christmas program. Third Grade, Stepping Stone A Child's David Austin Jimmy Ballenger Ricky Blackburn DeWain Cotten Danny Creason George Crutchfield Kimberly Joan Dambacher Myrtle Everage Larry Farris Bobby Garrett Laura Gibson Gary Gorrell Third Grade has been a stepping stone. We'll be primary no more. For we become intermediate, When we walk out Mrs. Griffis' door. We've had an introduction now To algebra and new math We've switched from manuscript to cursive As we travel education's path. We've learned about our great country As history's pages have unfurled Now we'll step to greater heights, As we seek facts about our world. Yes, this stepping stone's a big one, Our teacher has watched us grow. So far we've learned for certain— There's so much more to know.

In their English book they had an old tale, The Stone in the Road . The children took this tale and turned it into a play. They did all of the work by themselves with Mrs. Baumann's supervision. They auditioned for the main parts. All of the children in the room were given speaking parts. Those speaking parts not in the tale were written by the students. They designed the scenery by themselves. The mothers and grades Kindergarten through Second were present. The fourth graders gave a surprise party for Mrs. Baumann because this was her last year. 64 Fifth Graders Take Many Trips UNDER THE SUPERVISION of Mrs. lustrated children's books for the first and Plymell, the fifth grade spent a very in- teresting as well as enjoyable year. Two important events were trips made with the sixth grade. The first was to Missouri Val- ley College to tour the library and see a computer at work and also to see a radio sta- tion. The second trip was to the Capitol and conservation buildings in Jefferson City. Special activities in the classroom in- cluded the writing of short stories and il- second graders. Among the favorite art projects were papier mache figures and tooth-pick sculptures. In several plays pro- duced by the fifth grade this year, costuming, set making, and acting abilities were high- lighted. Outside the classroom the fifth graders participated in an intramural track meet and a basketball game with Miami School, which was lost in overtime by one point.

The name of the game, of course, was basketball. Although we played with heart and made our mark, The opposing team won, but soon found out the game was no lark. Next year with more experience on our side, Our record will be nothing that we will want to hide. Squeaks and squawks were the first sounds made By brave sixth graders on band instruments played. But as the days and months rolled by Ahd many hours of practice behind them lie New beautiful sounds-music-came forth in the bye and bye. 66 Seventh Grade Has A Very Successful Year Christy Adcock Tim Boedeker Tommy Castle, Vice-President Melody Erickson, Secretary Sally Ervin, President Ruth Kiehl Chris Kiser Mike Melies David Mull Sherri Samson Angie Wade, Treasurer Not pictured: Karla Jean Tumlinson COOPERATION AND SMILING FACES made the 7th graders' car washes and bake sales great successes. One bake sale and car wash was held in the early fall and one was held in the spring.' The seventh graders showed great interest in school activities and often worked on projects to show their interest in the com- munity. The boys and girls were willing to help the elementary teachers when needed. The boys helped Coach Anderson while the girls cheered on the tracksters. At the end the school year the 7th graders held a class picnic at Van Meter Park on May 17th. 68 Tim, David, and Julie receive awards at the Awards Banquet. Varied Events For Eighth Graders Patty Adcock Helen Ballenger Jan Blackburn, President Sharon Blackwell Nancy Boedeker Jeff Chevalier Luanne Ehrhardt John Everage Rosie Florence, Secretary Steve Foose THE EIGHTH GRADE launched into the new Travis Gilmore year with election of new officers. Jan Blackburn presided over class meetings. Marjorie Kiehl was Vice President; Rosie Florence was Sec- retary and Monte Robertson was Treasurer. There were two main money-making projects throughout the school year. A Bake Sale was held in the fall and a car wash which left the eighth graders with sunburns was held in the spring. iik s i Eric McRoberts Jayne Robertson Monte Robertson, Treasurer Linda Samson Dan Scarborough Jim Scarborough Deanna Smithy Bob Swisher Dennis Weekly Not pictured: Alan Coleman Billie Tumlinson Sidney Foust Warren Foust 69 Initiation Introduces Freshmen To High School UGH! This could be heard throughout the school's halls on that glorious day of Freshman Initiation. Surprisingly, the Fresh- men lived through their murderous persecu- tion. Class officers for the year were Tim Samson, President; Kathy Gilmore, Vice President; Bill Blackwell, Secretary; and Janet Harms, Treasurer. Nina Wade was Student Council Representative. The Freshmen's money-making project for the year was a raffle. They raffled off a power saw and an electric skillet.

The annual Sophomore Carnival, which was their main money-making project, drew a large, curious crowd. New additions were added to spark excitement. They included bowling, Mr. Perkins' Game, Wheel of Fortune, and a Country Kitchen. Darrell Slaughter was elected President for the second consecutive year. He was backed-up by a group of hard-working class members who contributed greatly to the success of the class. Among them were Mark McRoberts, Vice President; Jeanie Herrmann, Secretary; and John Kiehl, Treasurer. Toward the end of the year the class also sold candy. The year was enjoyed by all, and the whole class looked forward to their junior year.

Election of officers started the year rolling with Pam Wade leading the class as President, Billy Thiel advising her as Vice President, Pat Williams taking down minutes as Secretary, and Doug Malan taking care of all that money as Treasurer. Big profits came from money-making projects including the Ice Cream Social, the selling of candy bars, and a chilli supper. The money did not stay in the treasury for long because the Juniors excitedly planned and worked on the Jr.-Sr. Prom and Banquet. Junior rings arrived early in March, which helped make the Juniors even more ready to face the upcoming senior year. 72 The pure, the bright, the beautiful That stirs our hearts in youth, The impulses to wordless prayer, The streams of love and truth, The longing after something lost, The spirit's yearning cry, The striving after better hopes — These things can never die.

Commencement speaker, Dr. K. Leon Mont- gomery, Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program in Information Science at the University of Pittsburg. 79 In Appreciation Malta Bend School would like to thank Mr. Paul Whalen for his many years of ded- icated work. Mr. Whalen has been super- intendent of Malta Bend School for seven years. He has brought about many new and improved things to our school. We would like to wish him the best of luck in his future. He will be missed at Malta Bend R-5. In Memory Life is a race. Don't whimper if the track is rough and the goal is distant. One day you shall reach it. Life is a voyage. Don't complain if the storms batter the hull or the winds tatter to shreds the sails. One day you shall come to your haven. Life is growth. Don't find fault if the seed lies smothered and submerged in the dark earth before it blooms and blossoms. One day you shall have your harvest. Life is a pilgrimage. Don't falter on the road through self-pity because stones cut your feet and leave your blood on the trail. One day you will come to Immanuel's land. The God who through the boundless sky guides the flight of the sparrow, who builds the blind bird's nest, will see to it that in his good time you shall arrive. — Joseph R. Sizoo This poem is dedicated to the memory of Danny Robertson, November 22, 1955-May 23, 1972, who was a member of the Sophomore Class at Malta Bend High School. His friendly disposition and outgoing person- ality will never be forgotten.
