Handle, Heartbreak Randy Harlin takes a break from conversation with his date for the camera. Remembering the ‘times’ of her life, Tina Montgomery makes a clock that brought out the theme of the FHA Banquet. Still trying to figure out why he was asked to be in the senior skit, Brent Gorrell hams it up as a famous person in the senior class’s rendition of the Miller Beer commercials.

The white overlays, trimmed with black and gold, were not the only contribution the Band Booster’s made this year. Flashy, gold-sequined uniforms were purchased for the majorettes as they became Malta Bend’s own “Golden Girls.” For marching purposed a timpani was added to the drum section providing a new sound. Once again the community and chorale departments helped the Band out by presenting the Christmas Jubilee-donations went toward financial aid for the band. In early August the noise was evident again as the high school band hit the streets to warm up for the approaching season. Once again their first appearance was at the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia. During the next two months the band participated in the Slater Volkfest, the Concordia Fall Festival, and Marshall High School’s Homecoming Parade. Missouri University’s Homecoming Parade was the hardest and longest, but the fringe benefits of seeing the Tigers play in Big 8 action was worth the long march. Changing to concert pace the band played at the annual Fall concert for parents and friends. Instrumental ensembles and solos performed at Central Methodist College’s Musical Festival and at District Contest at Warrensburg. Hoping one day to join the high school band, junior high band members practiced throughout the year on rhythms, notes, and basic playing procedure.

The Mixed Chorus made their debut of the school term at the Fall Concert and finished the year at the graduation exercises. 15 Livestock Judging Team Places First At District FFA Contest The Malta Bend Future Farmers of America enjoyed a very productive year. They started in the summer when they traveled to Buck Little’s cabin where they spent two days on the Osage River. To begin the school year the Aggies shucked corn at the DeKalb test plot for the main money-making project. Some of the money went toward the Barnwarming Dance held in October.

From the start of the school year the Future Homemakers labored to increase their bank account to finance their educational trip to Minneapolis, Minnesota. Besides their annual candy sales, the girls joined forces with the Drama Department to host the Dinner Theater. Throughout the year the girls cleaned homes, baked cookies, catered parties, decorated cakes, and baked dozens of cinnamon rolls. When thirty of the FHA girls, sponsor Marty Webster, Anne Boedeker and Carolyn Gorrell boarded the bus for Minneapolis in mid March, the work all seemed worthwhile. After riding the bus all night, the group arrived in Minneapolis the next morning to begin touring. During their two-day stay, they visited Musingwear, Pillsbury, Maid of Scandinavia, Guthrie Theater, Walker Art Center, and Marvel Foods, an international Food distributor. The disappointment of the trip was at the Betty Crocker Kitchens; FHA members learned that their is no Betty Crocker. After learning the news that Betty Crocker was a fictional name, they toured the newly decorated test kitchens. While in Minneapolis, they stayed at a Holiday Inn where they enjoyed the luxuries of a heated, indoor-swimming pool. To celebrate the Christmas season, the FHA gathered at Sid Boedeker’s home for a gift exchange and dinner. In May the FHA closed out the year with its annual Parent-Daughter Banquet. Awards were distributed and chapter parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Carter and Mr. and Mrs. Chuck Gorrell, were honored at this time. 17 Girls Dominate Honor Society On March 23, 1978, the National Honor Society held their annual induction ceremony. Once again girls dominated N.H.S. as all active members and new inductees were female. Joyce Driskell, senior; Jacquelyn Carter, Lisa Castle, and Barbara Melies, all sophomores; were awarded their pins and membership cards as the new inductees. The National Honor Society is sponsored by School Superintendent Louis LeDoux. Membership is based on the student’s scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Students who maintain an S grade average are judged by the faculty on the other qualifications. Cindy Castle was elected President to preside over the induction ceremony; Jeanine Clouser, Vice President; and Martha Kiehl, Secretary-treasurer.

Stu-Co Operated In The Red, But Still Managed To Host Numerous Activities Student Council member Raymond Samson finds himself bored with the job of selling Stu-Co birthday-activity calendars at ball games. Inflation and rising costs troubled the Student Council throughout the year, and when money-making projects didn’t provide enough financial assistance, the Stu-Co managed to operate in the red. To kick off the basketball season, the Student Council along with the cheerleaders hosted the annual intersquad basketball games and pep rally in October. Other Student Council sponsored activities during the year were the Christmas volleyball tournament, Courtwarming Dance, Twirp Dance, Spirit Week, Twirp Week, and the Awards Banquet. Trying to pull themselves out of the red, the Stu-Co sold birthday-activity calendars to the public. Before Christmas they hosted a disco as a social and economic function. Student Council officers were President, Kirk Gauldin; Vice President, Jim Kloeppel; Secretary, Cindy Castle; and Treasurer, Vicki Castle.

Not Pictured: Tim Castle and Lisa Wade 19 Turkey Shoots Aid Financial Needs During the years the Malta Bend Lettermen’s Club has been in existence, its principle objective has been to aid the Athletic Department by purchasing such things as a new score clock and fiberglass backboards. This year the Lettermen’s Club bought new basketball uniforms for the varsity girls and boys teams. With the purchase of these uniforms came a costly bill and once again, as with past purchases, the lettermen found themselves with a large debt. President Jerry Boedeker struggled throughout the summer to keep people working at the baseball concession stand. When fall came the athletes organized to sponsor two Turkey Shoots at Mrs. Raymond Malter’s farm. After the summer concession stand and the turkey shoot failed to make a substantial dent in the debt, the lettermen tried once again to get out of the red by selling tee shirts. 20 LETTERMEN’S CLUB: ROW 1: Raul Roldan, Sponsor; Jerry Boedeker, President; Laura Castle, Vice-President; Joyce Driskell, Secretary; Marcia Boedeker, Treasurer; David Officer, Sponsor.

It was the first time for the girls to cheer since they were all in the seventh grade. The girls basketball team had no cheerleaders because the cheerleaders were also on the ball team. The cheerleaders bought new skirts and emblems and made many of the posters for the games to promote junior high spirit. JUNIOR HIGH CHEERLEADERS: BOTTOM: Sherry Gibson.

They held bake sales and sold candy bars through much of the year. The girls made their own skirts and on Courtwarming day the sweaters arrived. The emblems and bars had to be sewn on quickly so the girls could attend all the other activities cheerleaders attended to on Courtwarming day. The Junior Varsity Cheerleaders had a tough time cheering at the ballgames, with sometimes as little as three cheering. But all participated in making money for the Varsity uniforms and at Courtwarming both squads performed a pom pom routine to the tune “Be True to Your School.” Both squads also attended Missouri Valley Cheerleading Camp. Captain of the Varsity squad was Lisa Wade and Kelly Plattner was Junior Varsity Captain. As the Junior Varsity boys basketball team attempts an upset, cheerleaders Beth Schlotzhauer, Tina Montgomery, and Kelly Plattner try to keep their mind on the game. VARSITY CHEERLEADERS: Debbie Burfeind, DeAnn Toliver, Lisa Wade, Mary Carol Boedeker, and Barbara Melies.

Boisterous Barbara Melies urges basketball fans to participate in sideline cheers. “Being true to her school,” Varsity cheerleader Mary Carol Boedeker entertains the Courtwarming crowd with her pom pom routine to the Beach Boys tune. “TIT!, T-C-B! We’re taking care of business and our business is you!” chants the Varsity cheerleaders during Courtwarming night action. 23 24 GIRLS BASKETBALL: ROW 1: BOYS’ BASKETBALL 12-13 MB OPPONENT 66 LaMonte 88 80 Wheeling 77 68 Bogard 60 62 Hale 59 41 Northwest 60 63 Linn County 60 37 Marceline 67 42 Bucklin 60 59 St. Paul's 64 68 Norborne 50 60 Tina-Avalon 76 74 Braymer 78 79 Bosworth 34 60 Slater 94 58 Carrollton 79 68 Orrick 49 49 Grain Valley 79 51 Kingsville 43 72 Sweet Springs 63 64 Tina-Avalon 60 62 Concordia 78 68 Norborne 56 74 Santa Fe 61 58 Brunswick 97 51 Glasgow 73 BOYS BASKETBALL: ROW 1: Dale Marian, Bryan Thiel, Jerry Boedeker, Brent Gorrell, Jim Kloeppel, Kirk Gauldin, Walter Everage, Raymond Samson, Ken Castle, Brian Mull.

Girls Have Successful Season, Boys Show Improvement A devastating 75 to 27 loss to the Wheeling Bulldogs opened the season for the girls’ basketball team, but things went well from there as they finished with 20 wins and only seven losses. In the girls first tournament appearance of the year, they managed to bring home third place from Northwestern in Mendon’s Tournament. Trying to avenge their first loss of the season the girls met with Wheeling once again in the second round of the Tina-Avalon Christmas Classic. After three quarters of play M.B. was down by only two, but the Bulldogs put on a strong fourth quarter to upset the Tigers.

At St. Paul's Invitational, the female Tigers dropped a close encounter to Higginsville that cost them the title. After easily defeating Sweet Springs and Pilot Grove in the first and second rounds of the Class 1-A Regional at Alma, the girls had to fight a determined Santa Fe team to play for the championship. Their hopes for state play were eliminated by Harrisburg in the title game. Coach David Officer’s team was consistently led by the five starters: seniors, Laura Castle and Dianna Owens; and juniors, Jacquelyn Carter, Brenda Gorrell, and Tina Montgomery. Brenda Gorrell was honored by being named to the All-District Team. Patty Aholt’s Junior Varsity girls supported a perfect eight-win, no-loss record until their final game of the campaign when the Marshall Owls trounced the young Tigers. State ranked teams and a tough schedule plagued the boys throughout the year, but the Tigers compiled their best record in three years finishing just under the .500 mark. After their opening loss to LaMonte the boys won three straight from Wheeling, Hale, and Bogard in an overtime thriller. Coach Officer’s team played in Northwestern's Tournament winning the first game against Linn County, but had to settle for fourth place as they could not upset their next two opponents. The Tigers were also effective in the first round of T.A.'s Classic, but once again failed for a trophy, finishing fourth. Making their first appearance in Wellington’s invitational, the boys took third place from Kingsville. In the final game of the year, the boys appeared in the Glasgow Regional only to be soundly beaten by the hometown Yellowjackets who later won the Regional and the State Tournament. Seniors, Jerry Boedeker, Jim Kloeppel, Kirk Gauldin, and Brent Gorrell; juniors, Walter Everage and Brian Mull; and sophomore Bryan Thiel; shared starting jobs throughout the year. Assistant Coach Raul Roldan’s JV squad won one game during the season opposed to 10 losses.

Senior track star Kirk Gauldin (ABOVE) practices his high-jump form in preparation for the State Meet at Rolla. Gauldin Finds Way To State Meet The start of the track season was a little slow. With much rain in the spring many of the track meets were postponed or called off completely. Although the teams were small in number, they came through in tough situations. Kirk Gauldin came through in fine style at the District Meet. He compiled 36 points by winning first place in the 120-yard high hurdles and the triple jump; Kirk placed second in the high jump and long jump. At the State Meet in Rolla, Kirk made it to the finals in the high hurdles, trip and high jumps; he finished in seventh place in each event. The girls weren’t quite as outstanding, but received a few medals throughout the season. The 440-yard relay team won first place at the Northwestern Relays and the 880-yard relay team finished in third place at that meet. 29 30 ■O D) C Formality to Begging for a dance (ABOVE), George Crutchfield takes to his knees in hopes he can coax some dateless girl into sharing a dance.

Marryin’ Sam was cancelled due to inclement weather. The dance was a great success for those who participated and enjoyed the disc jockey. Quadra Sound, from Columbia. Halfway through the dance Kirk Gauldin was crowned King with Jerry Boedeker and Jim Kloeppel as his attendants. 32 Advising King Kirk Gauldin (ABOVE), Jerry Boedeker and Jim Kloeppel contribute their own ideas for the mock court defendants.

Pegasus Excites Barnwarming There were many changes evident in the 1977 Barnwarming compared to those of the past. The Homemakers co-sponsored the event with the Aggies, snaring expenses and providing games and refreshments while the farmers arranged the decor for the evening. The location of the tunnel was changed and enlarged, and trees were also provided to add to the effect. FHA Game Leader Jacquelyn Carter led the group in games. The band Pegasus provided the mupic for the dance. The FHA girls nominated king candidates Kirk Gauldin, Mike Flippin, and Brian Mull. The queen contestants, nominated by the FFA, were Jacquelyn Carter, Joyce Driskell, and Lisa Wade. During an intermission Joyce Driskell and Mike Flippin were crowned queen and king. Barnwarming was the first major event of the school year and was considered a great way to start off the year. QUEEN CANDIDATES WITH ESCORTS: Jacquelyn Carter, Greg Mach, 1976 Queen Laura Castle, Jerry Boedeker; reigning Barnwarming Queen Joyce Driskell, Keith Broyles, Lisa Wade, and Tom Castle. 34 Pegasus’ version of Kiss’ Detroit Rock City made everybody leave their seats.

A large crowd was on hand to view the games between the Carrollton Trojans coached by alumnus Carles Henke and the home town Tigers. Owens Queen; Seniors Prove Great In “78” When the 1977-78 Spirit Week got underway, there was the usual mass confusion. Starting out the week were the seventh and eighth grades performing “Tiger Attack’’ and the “Gong Show” Other skits ranged from Tiger Wars to Saturday Night Live. While skateboards played a familiar role in several skits, the Senior captured the spirit stick by performing a hilarious saloon comedy based on commercials. The Carrollton Trojans proved tough competition for the Tigers as they were defeated 79-58 on superstitious Friday the 13th of January. During half time of the Varsity boys encounter, Cindy Castle introduced the queen candidates and escorts — Marcia Boedeker escorted by Brent Gorrell, Laura Castle escorted by Jim Kloeppel, and Dianna Owens, escorted by Jerry Boedeker. Student Council President Kirk Gauldin announced Dianna Owens as the 1977-78 Courtwarming Queen. Angie Wade, reigning 76-77 Queen, was on hand to crown Dianna.

Senior Class President Jerry Boedeker and Secretary Marcia Boedeker jointly willed away the belongings of the senior class. 38 Mist’s version of Warren Zevon’s Werewolves of London met the approval of Prom dancers. The readings of the will and prophecy brought smiles to the faces of the crowd. “Mist” Makes Prom Huge Success Styx’s latest album, “The Grand Illusion” influenced the juniors as they hosted the Junior-Senior Prom on April 22. The hall settings was mysterious, accented in black and silver. The music room was decorated in blue and silver. The band Mist highlighted the Prom, as they played current tunes for juniors, seniors, and special guests. Most couples wined and dined before and after the dance to make the Prom an all-night affair. Junior room mothers served cake and punch during the dance. Junior President Brenda Gorrell read the prophecy and Jerry and Marcia Boedeker willed away the belongings of the seniors. 39 Basketball MVP, Jim Kloeppel is awarded a trophy by Coach David Officer.

Dinner Theater For Malta Bend The Miracle Worker, Malta Bend’s first Dinner Theater combination was a huge success. The dinner portion of the project was provided by the FHA under the direction of Marty Webster. Pre show entertainment during the dinner was provided by Marie Boedeker and the music department which consisted of solos and ensembles. Susan Zydiak directed the main event, “The Miracle Worker,” a three-act play by William Gibson. This was her first production and the cast and community members showed their appreciation, in that it was well accepted and a big success. Approximately 70 people were responsible for the success of the Dinner Theater. This included all 11 main characters in the play who were: Laura Blackwell, Lisa Wade, Tina Montgomery, Mark Coleman, Kirk Gualdin, Barbara Melies, Brad Ehrhardt, Michelle Harriman, Beth Schlotzhauer, Kelly Plattner, and Laurinda Kirby.

Eileen Pearson, who had taught in the elementary division for several years, moved to the high school business education department. In the spring, “Talents Unlimited” Workshops were introduced to the elementary and high school.

Between the basketball games, concession stands and the Flea Market each class member was experienced enough to work at the local Hardee’s. Magazine sales began the year Randy Harlin used his charm on the public to sell the most magazines which won him a radio. Jeanine Clouser battled for the first prize, but couldn’t beat out the Heartbreak Kid. With the help of the American Legion the seniors sponsored a Chicken and Fish Supper. The class also held a pancake breakfast in February. The seniors sold tables to antique dealers and sponsored a bake day to make the Flea Market a huge success. All the money was spent in one short week. Fifteen of the seniors along with Richard and Kay Best boarded a bus for Texas on April 29. After riding the bus all night, the seniors arrived in Dallas, Texas, the following day to visit Six Flags. Enroute to Galveston, a stop was made in Houston to tour the Astrodome. The Texas weather didn't cooperate with the seniors, but they still managed to have a good time. While in Galveston, tour of the city and a visit to Sea-a-rama were planned activities for the class. On the return trip home a stop was made at NASA where they viewed the control room. Senior class officers for the 1977-78 school term were Jerry Boedeker, President; Steve Chevalier, Vice President; Marcia Boedeker, Secretary; and Brent Gorrell, Treasurer. 55 Fulfilling her dream of being referee for a day, Laura Castle is forced out of gym class because of a tornado drill, where Brent Gorrell becomes “Bionic Barney” as he uses Laura for a few weight lifting exercises.

Prom, Carnival Highlight Year The busiest part of the year for the sophomores was at the start. As a money-making project they held a chicken barbecue and a carnival. Setting up for the carnival when the barbecue was going on was a frustrating ordeal to some sophomores, but all in all it was fun. It was a hectic year for the juniors. Besides classes, homework, sports, and clubs they had to decide on a Prom theme and worry about getting it all together. To raise money for the Prom they held a fish-chili supper before a basketball game. In May the juniors and seniors gathered at the park in Marshall for a picnic hosted by the juniors.

Much effort and time was spent at basketball and track practice. A wet car wash and bake sale were held in the spring that proved to be very profitable. After all this hard work the eighth graders were always where the action was; at parties or school dances they took time out to let themselves go. The Freshman Class underwent numerous changes with the challenge of being in senior high and participating in classes and extracurricular activities with older students more often. With great effort and patience they made it through the year very successfully. Their money-making project consisted of a country breakfast and bake sale, which was a huge success.

Hobby Show Exhibits tickled Brenda Weaver (BELOW LEFT) while other grade school classes viewed the things of Karla Carter and Jennifer Castle. Adjust To Junior High; Involved In Contests The Sixth grade was busy throughout the year with contests and skits, while the Seventh grade was adjusting to junior high ranks. To observe National Wildlife Week, Sixth graders took a nature hike. Along the hike they picked up litter and looked for birds, insects, and fish. Posters were also displayed around school to urge people to save our wildlife. Conservation agent Charles Jordan spoke to the sixth grade on conservation; he pointed out the meaning and ways to achieve it. In December the sixth grade found time for a hobby show. Each student wrote a paragraph about his particular hobby and displayed it for other classes to view and enjoy. Another project class members were involved in was a poster contest in art class. The topic for the posters was Mental Health Is . . The posters tried to build a positive feeling about mental health. The change to high school from grade school was accepted by seventh graders as they joined in on all the high school activities. They participated in basketball, softball, track, and all the junior high cheerleaders were in the seventh grade. During Spirit Week the seventh grade re-enacted the Gong Show and to top off the week most members attended the Courtwarming Dance. In preparation for the days when they will be juniors, the seventh graders opened their bank account with proceeds from a bake sale.

On their field trips they visited the main points of interest in the community. Meyer Lumberyard, the Malta Bend Branch of the Blackburn Bank, the Post Office, and Jessie Plattner's Greenhouse. In the fall Mrs. Shumacher’s fourth graders joined the underclassmen on a trip to Kansas City to see the Shriner’s Circus. Before a visit to Jefferson City was made to tour the capitol, fifth graders along with the sixth graders held a bake sale to finance the bus expense. Members of the fifth grade formed a stamp club for interested philatelists. The fourth and fifth graders participated in the Christmas Music Show, and some class members appeared in the High School’s production of “LiT Abner.” Both classes also enjoyed the Halloween activities and the valentine exchange. Talents Unlimited Workshops were available to fourth, fifth, and sixth graders. A variety of sessions were offered including safety and first aid, tumbling, tie and dye, veterinary, and batiking. Brian Blackburn’s composition seems to be of interest to Genevia Newton and Denise Conner.

To become aware of future careers second graders enjoyed walks, filmstrips, games, and many language activities that dealt with career education. Third graders studied house construction by using blue prints and by observing a house that was currently being built. Third graders built bird houses during the Talents Unlimited Workshops with the help of local people. Patrolman Alvery spoke to them on bicycle safety and Jessie Plattner helped them make terrariums. Members of the second grade broadened their respect for the heritage of the Arrow Rock region by touring the town and they gained knowledge in state conservation. “I Am The Flag,” was performed by second graders with each child portraying an American worker. The Seventy-Seveners Stamp Club was formed by third graders under the direction of Roseleen Corder. The highlights of the meetings were programs given by various philatelists of the area.
