Stop our tears from flowing Hold them at their brink. People Remember her the way she was Remember how she’ll always be Friend to everyone of us Loved by us all. People Know that she will be happy Comfort yourself with the thought. Although she’s not with us now Cynthia will never be forgot. And People Give comfort to each other Feel happy to have known Such a sweet and lovely person. And don’t forget that now Cynthia is in God's home. And remember that God He takes care of his own. 2 The second, third, and fourth graders helped to celebrate Youth Art Month by designing quilt squares with fabric crayons. The Beau Art members sewed them together and the quilt (shown above) was raffled off on March 19 at the Junior Carnival. The proceeds were used to help finance a field trip to the Nelson Art Gallery in Kansas City for Beau Arts members and High School Art students. FAR LEFT: You’d never guess that this was Laura Flair.

BELOW: Sandra Harms, School Secretary Much time and thought is spent in the administration of a school. Superintendent McCoy and Principal McIntosh, along with members of the school board, worked diligently to make the year a successful one. The school board election resulted in acquiring one new member — Patricia Schumacher. Tom Malter, who retired from the board after six years of faithful service, received a plaque in recognition of his dedicated service. Typing letters, balancing class funds, and taking care of student bills kept Sandra Harms, the school secretary, busy constantly. Charles McIntosh, who served as elemen- tary and secondary principal at Malta Bend R-5 for the past three years, has resigned and will be going to Adrian, Missouri, where he will be the secondary principal at the Adrian High School. Our best wishes go with the McIntosh family.

Ms. Pat Lager taught Art K-12 and Junior High Social Studies classes. Ms. Lager did her student teaching at St. Joseph Elementary and Maur Hill College Preparatory in Atchi- son, Kansas. She received her degree from Benedictine College, Atchison, Kansas. ABOVE: LeAnna Dehn, Patricia Lager, Susan Zydiak, and Eileen Pearson get into the Halloween” spirit of things.

Important also to the func- tioning of a smooth-operating school are many other people. There are cafeteria personnel who prepare and cook lunches for faculty and students. The custodial personnel, an essential part of the team, keep the facilities neat, clean, and repaired. Too, the bus drivers who are instrumental in transport- ing the children safely to school and back home again are a vital part of school responsibilities. Last, but not least, the aids who very ably assist the teachers in the class- room are quite beneficial.

Many students were involved in solo and ensemble entries, both instrumental and vocal. Music students who attended State Music Contest on Friday, April 30, were John Durham, Girls Trio and Girls Six 1. All entries received II ratings.

They started out with the Concordia Festival where they received a third-place trophy for band performance. It was followed by participation in the Slater Volkfest, Missouri Valley’s Homecoming, and Marshall High School’s Homecoming. They also participated in Saline County Night held on Missouri Valley’s football field. The year ended with the trip to Columbia for M.U.’s Homecom- ing; this proved to be a disappoint- ing day as the weather was very wet and Mizzou lost. 20 1 I ABOVE: Paige Schroeder plays JUNIOR HIGH BAND: ABOVE: First Row: Carol Kiehl, Paige Schroeder, clarinet solo.

This student-organized club has been involved in different activities since its foundation. On February 27 the club took a trip to Kaleidoscope in Kansas City. (Kaleidoscope is a creative art experience for children). Here Beau Arts members served as volunteers helping the regular Kaleidoscope staff with two sessions of 80 five- to ten-year old children. In March, Beau Arts helped to celebrate Youth Art Month by sponsoring a field trip to the Nelson Art Gallery in Kansas City for Beau Arts members and high school art students.

FFA This year the FFA participated in the DeKalb Corn Project during the first part of October; the boys made over $1,000 in this project. Barnwarming was held at the end of initiation week in October. In November the Chapter went to the American Royal in Kansas City; they attended the horse show, the rodeo, and the Jim Stanford Show. The next day the officers attended the National Convention in Kansas City. On January 1 the FFA raffled off a new Lincoln Welder and Bob Robinson was the lucky winner. The following Chapter members participated in the District Contest in Warrensburg: freshmen in the meats contest; sophomores in the soils contest; and the other members in the livestock and dairy judging contest. No one made it to State. Although the Chapter sent no delegates to the State Convention in Columbia this year, Tim Castle and Brad Harriman, along with Ben Lichtenthaler, did attend the Convention.

FHA The FHA girls kept themselves very busy this year. Activities began with the annual Barnwarm- ing Dance sponsored by the FHA and FFA. Sweetheart attendants were Jeff Thompson and Tim Castle with Brad Harriman crowned King. The FHA's next project began with the sale of Kathryn Beich Candy. October also brought the sale of over 100 dozen Halloween Pumpkin Sugar Cookies. The dinner theater production of The Curious Savage” had the FHA hopping again, being respon- sible for the meal. Next on the girls' agenda was the Valentine Cake sale and FHA Buddy Week. March 4th marked the highlight of the year. The FHA sponsored a trip to Kansas City for a day of tours and an evening at the Waldorf Astoria Dinner Theater. The year ended with the Parent-Daughter Banquet on May 4th; the theme was The Future is Ours to See. The program was given by Donna Malter. 25 National Honor Society For Malta Bend R-5 to be included in the National Honor Society program, it must be a state approved school. To earn a membership in the NHS, you are judged on your leadership, character, service, and citizenship. Membership is not acquired by the student applying for it; it is an honor conferred upon students by the faculty in recognition of outstanding accomplish- ments in the areas considered for membership selection. There were several students who qualified in the area of scholarship and their names were sent to the teachers to be rated on in the other areas. After the teachers rated the students, they did not qualify for membership. It would not be right to lower the standards of the Society to allow some of the students to qualify for membership. Without any new members this year and with Mary Weaver and Paula Gorrell graduating, it is going to make it a rather small group next year. Sara Blackburn and Becky Plattner will be the only members in the Chapter. 26 ABOVE: NHS members: Mary Weaver, Paula Gorrell, Becky Plattner, and Sara Blackburn; Harold McCoy, sponsor.

UPPER LEFT: Sue was a candidate for Courtwarming Queen and was escorted by Pat Holcer. ABOVE: Sue found typing an easy class because by the end of the year she qualified for and received a 50 word-a-minute pin. Etsuko (Sue) Tonegawa from Japan participated in an International Fellowship Foreign Student Exchange Program. She made her home with the Merle Trelow family in Mt. Leonard while attending her senior year at Malta Bend High School. Attending a co-ed school was a new experience for Sue. At home she attended an all-girls’ Buddhist school. Sue soon decided that she liked the co-ed arrangement better. During her senior year at Malta Bend, Sue took typing, chorus, home economics, biology, and American history. She also was a flag twirler which she thought was fun. Typing was her favorite class. When comparing Malta Bend High with her school in Japan, Sue said that school in Japan is more difficult because there is more homework and the subjects are harder. At first Sue was homesick for her friends, parents, and brothers, but as time went on she made many new friends. Sue also had to learn to eat the rich American food, which she wasn’t used to. However, she soon overcame this with ham and chocolate chip cookies becoming her favorite foods. We feel fortunate at Malta Bend High for having had Sue with us for the year and we wish her success and happiness in the future. Don't forget us, Sue, for we certainly will not forget you. 27 ABOVE: FLAG CORPS members — First Row: Etsuko Tonegawa, Lisa Blackwell, Pam Flippin, Marie Rader.
