For many years Bob Montgomery was a staunch supporter of our school and its activities, especially athletics. He served on the school board of education in many capacities and was serving as vice president at the time of his death. The school and community, indeed, will miss this dedicated servant. Balancing chairs is just one of the many talents of an Ag student. ABOVE: George wonders which box is his. RIGHT: Mr. Nelson's bad habits are rubbing off on his goose.

BELOW: Becky Plattner recovers from a straw ACADEMICS We go to school for the purpose of learning. How would we learn without help? Our help comes from the administration, the per- sonnel, and the faculty of the school. These are the people who run the place everyday and through the summer too. They decide on the best way the money should be spent. They cook the food and clean the rooms and halls. They teach classes and keep the students in order. Combined efforts of adminis- tration, personnel, faculty, and students result in an educational environment which facilitates the learning of basic knowledge and the learning of values and skills required for successful adult living.

School Administration Much time and thought is spent in the administra- tion of a school. Superintendent McCoy and Principal McIntosh, along with members of the school board, worked diligently to make the year the best ever. School board members are not around every day, but what decisions they make at the monthly board meetings are important. The school board election resulted in acquiring two new members: Chuck Gorrell and Larry Pointer. Louis Thiel, who retired from the board after six years of faithful service, received a plaque in recognition of his dedicated service. Balancing class funds, taking care of student bills, and typing letters kept Sandra Harms, the school secretary, busy constantly. The PTA (Parent-Teachers Association) and CTA (Community Teachers Association) also contributed to the success of the school year.

David Goode served as an aid during the first semester of the school year. Mrs. Goode served as an aid in the elementary resource room. Also a very capable aid to the upper elementary grades was Mrs. Schulte. This year the valuable services of “Grandmothers” Ruth Lunbeck and Eunice Bailey were greatly appreciated. The “grandmothers” were a part of the Foster Grandpar- ent Program sponsored by the Missouri Valley Human Resource Development Corporation. Ever- yone involved in this Program benefitted — the grandmothers, children, school staff, and the general public. 12 Giving the school a more enjoyable atmosphere, cooks prepared new and exciting meals; custodians swept, painted, and cleaned the building, and bus drivers made sure all passengers arrived at school and home intact.

These organizations bring the dances and activities to the school. They cover a broad range from athletics to music to academics. Each one is related in some way to the classroom. Just as each one has its own emblem, each one serves its own purpose. Band teaches music, FHA deals with home economics, FFA trains in agriculture, and student council, in the workings of government. Malta Bend is proud of its organizations. Music Activities Mrs. Boedeker’s music students excelled in their perfor- mances this year. On February 27 they participat- ed in the Fayette Music Festival. Nine ratings of I were received by the following students: Donna Malter, flute; Rhonda Curry, vocal; Cynthia Burfeind, vocal; Margaret Burfeind, piano; Denise Conner, piano; Kristina Kersten, piano; Jan Malter, flute; trumpet duet; and girls sextet. Many students entered the District Music Contest at Warrens- burg. A rating of I was received by Donna Malter, piano; and by Rhonda Curry, vocal. There were sixteen ratings of II and six ratings of III. Overall Malta Bend did very well. This year two of our students qualified for the State Music Contest. At State Donna Malter received a rating of I on her piano solo and Rhonda Curry received a rating of il on her vocal solo. These girls are to be congratulated on their music ability. For the finale the chorus sang at graduation. ABOVE FLUTE TRIO, Mary Weaver, Donna Malter, Lisa Kloeppel.

It played at the Blackburn Fair, but missed playing in Concor- dia and in Missouri Valley’s Homecoming Parade. It also played at Slater and then in the Marshall High School’s Homecoming Par- ade. Missouri Valley’s Homecoming and Mil's Homecoming celebra- tions fell on the same day so the band decided to go to Columbia and perform. Members of the Junior High Band did their very best playing when they played for the Parent- Teachers Association meeting in April.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council members kept busy selling calendars and candy cane messages. They also sponsored the traditional volleyball tournament in December and worked together decorating for the school dances. Everyone enjoyed the films that the Student Council rented for the junior high and senior high students to watch. This was a new project which proved to be quite success- ful. We appreciate the good job that the officers did. Our thanks to Beth Schlotzhauer, president; Rick Toliver, vice president; Becky Plattner, secretary; and Kim Shields, treasurer.

The Club also operated the concession stand at the softball games in the fall. The projects were held so that the Club could make some money to help pay off its debts. It is hoped the Club will soon be out of debt and able to realize some of the profits for future use.

This was done when the chapter went with Buck Little to Lake Pomme de Terre for three days. The annual Dekalb corn project was cancelled due to the summer drought. Barnwarming was held at the end of inititation week in October. In November, the chapter went to the American Royal and Rodeo where they saw the Moe Bandy and Joe Stampley Show. The next day the officers attended the National Convention. The chapter had several teams at the workshop held in Sedalia and at District held in Warrensburg, but nobody made it to State. Two delegates were sent to the State Convention: Jeff Thompson and Mark Kersten. Tim Castle received the State Farmer Degree this year. FHA Activities The FHA started out the year with their annual project of prepar- ing Thanksgiving dinners and delivering them to citizens of Malta Bend. The girls were rewarded by the feeling of satisfaction derived from doing something to make someone happy. Initiation day was greatly an- ticipated by the freshmen girls. They made pancakes and had a contest to see who could eat them the fastest without hands!! Christmas caroling was the December project with a dinner and gift exchange held at the residence of Jim Weaver. Valentine cakes were made and sold for the money-making project. It was quite successful. FHA Week was cut short — it was only three days long because of a snow storm. The year concluded with the Parent-Daughter Banquet. The award of Outstanding FHA Member for the year was presented to Rene Montgomery. Peggy Chevalier received an outstanding award in her class, along with Paula Gorrell, Becky Plattner, and Brenda Weaver, in their classes. Rene Montgomery smiles happily because of her Outstanding FHA Member Award for 1980-1981.

Yearbook Staff No matter how early the staff gets started in the year, it seems we always have to work well into June in putting the book together. This year the staff attended a Jour- nalism Conference held at the State Fair Community College in Sedalia. Members profitted from the work- shop and brought back several ideas to use. We thank everyone for their co-operation and hope you enjoy the 1981 yearbook. UPPER LEFT: Becky Plattner and Mary Weaver cut and sort class pictures.

The National Honor Society was quite small this year with only one member. There wasn’t an election of officers since there wasn’t anyone to second the nominations. This year four new members were inducted. They were: Sara Blackburn, Paula Gorrell, Becky Plattner, and Mary Weaver. ABOVE: Mr. McCoy takes part in the induction ceremony. 27 LEFT: Paula Gorrell receives her membership card from Superinten- dent McCoy. SPORTS Malta Bend may not play in very many interscholastic sports, but if you look around there are many students with an amazing amount of talent. Aside from the gym classes, there are softball, basketball, tennis, and track activi- ties. The athletic department was greatly saddened by the death of Bob Montgomery. Mr. Montgomery was very concerned and interested in school activities, but his main interest was in sports. Shortly after his death a memorial fund was started in his honor.

The girls attended an extra practice session in which the Varsity Cheerleaders taught them new cheers and chants and more about form and unity. The Junior High Boys’ and Girls’ Basketball Teams played several games; however, they had not so good luck with winning. We hope that with time and practice, they will improve their playing techniques. ABOVE: Jan Malter shoots a freethrow as everybody awaits the rebound. ABOVE: Brian Blackburn takes a shot.

JV Boys Basektball ABOVE: Left to Right: Anthony Everage, Jeff Thompson, Terry Lile, Tom Malan, Rick Kiehl, Allen Simmons, George Crutchfield, Mark Kersten, Gary Gorrell, Tim Castle, Pat Holcer, Mike Grapes, Coach Phil Nelson. The boys finished their season at 4-4 after being only 1-3 halfway through the season. The varsity seemed to have trouble with their record. This year they were coached by Phil Nelson. Even though their record was only 6-15, you couldn’t say they lost hope. Seven of the 15 losses were by only a five-point spread or less, two of these to Santa Fe. The boys played in the Northwestern Tour- nament, the Santa Fe Tournament, Carroll County Tourney, and the Regionals in Brunswick, losing their first game to Santa Fe.

They played in several tournaments and placed in the Santa Fe Tournament. To acknowledge the fine ef- forts and skills demonstrated during the year Coach Hughes presented the following awards at the Awards Banquet. Paula Gorrell was presented the Hustle Award along with the Most Points Award. The Most Improved Player Award was given to Sara Blackburn. Myrtle Everage received the Most Rebounds Award. The Most Valu- able Player Award was shared by Myrtle Everage and Paula Gorrell. We are sorry to lose Mary Butler and Myrtle Everage, the only two seniors on the girls basketball team.

Varsity Cheerleaders In June the varsity cheer- leaders attended the International Cheerleading Foundation Camp held at William Woods College, Fulton, Missouri. All of the cheer- leaders participated in the four-day camp. They learned new cheers and chants along with having a good time. “Baby We Can Do It” was the song that the varsity squad did their routine to at Courtwarming. They performed again at the basketball game against Marshall. Mrs. Burfeind was the sponsor of the squad.

Track The track team of the school term 1980-1981 consisted of 13 members. The team participated in the Brookfield Relays; it hopes to do better next year. The members of the team are: Boys (as pictured at left): Mike Grapes, Tim Castle, Brad Harriman, Tony Frieben, Terry Lile, Jeff Thompson, Allen Simmons. Girls (as pictured at left): Julie Brown- field, Karla Carter, Jennifer Castle, Rene Montgomery, Paula Gorrell, Cynthia Burfeind. The sponsor for the boys was Coach Phil Nelson and the sponsor for the girls was Coach John Hughes. 37 38 What would school be like without your peers — the people you chum around with? Going to school is more than just being there to give the teachers something to do. It’s more than just learning to read and write. It’s learning how to get along with people of your own age and different ages. Students are given many op- portunities to learn how to get along with each other — in class participation, in membership of organizations and clubs, in music activities, and in athletic activities, to mention a few. Learning how to get along with everyone is one of the most important keys, if not the most important key, to adult successful living.

It was very successful. The sixth graders performed many experiments in science, learned how to write and give reports in language, and studied the world through maps and reading. They capped the year off with a trip to Kansas City.

STUDENT LIFE Current events have played a large part in our daily activities. Great interest has been shown in the eruption of Mount St. Helen in the state of Washington. The space shuttle flight was monitored with great anticipation. Other big events were the presidential race and the shocking shootings in Washington, D.C. and in the Vatican in Rome. Shortly after Ronald Reagan’s inaugural speech, the American hostages held in Iran were released after more than 400 days of captivity. This occasion was cele- brated with parades from the airport to the White House where they were greeted by President Reagan and staff. startei Iwo brothers a( becoming an ol (Noah -€ui jrad flagman Uim tarbuck), tTl ft i98flBrnmer had or .onjnjbh ' — We-dwBht. i play we discover ,a girl whose fath t d s muchjjbout IS they arO Jffn ea ks they ar nJu) stood out that she sd to marry her off ailed.
