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.

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.
