School Administration The administration of a school doesn’t just happen. It takes much time, thought, planning, and expertise by the school board, superinten- dent, principal, and other interested, involved personnel. The School Board Election resulted in the acquiring of one new member, John Clyde. He replaced Harold Thompson who retired from the board. Harold McCoy completed his fourth year in the capacity of superintendent and Francis Moran, formerly principal at Heritage High School, served as elementary and secondary principal during the past year. Sandra Harms, the school secretary, is kept busy day-in and day-out by typing letters, balancing class funds and taking care of students' bills, as well as answering the telephone and other important duties. Sandra also is operator of the computer recently purchased.

National Honor Society ABOVE: MEMBERS: Karla Carter, Becky Plattner, Sara Blackburn, Brenda Weaver, Jennifer Castle, Lisa Kloeppel. For Malta Bend R-5 to be included in the National Honor Society Program it must be a state aproved school. To earn a membership in the NHS, a student is judged on his or her scholarship, 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 accomplishments 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. Four students became members of the National Honor Society at the Induction Cer- emony in May; they are Jennifer Castle, Lisa Kloeppel, Brenda Weaver, and Karla Carter, pictured at right. Mr. Harold McCoy is sponsor of the Society. 28 ABOVE: Becky Plattner and Sara Blackburn, graduating seniors, are the outgoing members of the Society.
