New Bloomfield High School - Beacon Yearbook (New Bloomfield, MO)

Text from Pages 1 - 144 of the 1984 volume:

The time: 1983-84, the place: New Bloomfield, Missouri, the volume: 1. It is the beginning . . . The presentation of the school year 1983-84 in words and pictures. As we turn the page, our minds will turn back to this year and the memories it held for each one of us. Perhaps it will be a strange picture, a hard-fought game, an essay assignment, or an “extra” word that will bring back the memories of the year. To those “little extras” that all of us put into this year, we proudly present the 1983-84 Beacon. 7 e fut4t, t e fne e tt, eutcC t£e £utu%e We will always have “memories” of the past. We will always “live” in the present, but the future still remains. From 13 years ago until now, 10 Seniors have stayed together through thick and thin, happiness and sadness. They have lost friends who have moved away, a painful time for some, and they have made new friends with the people that have joined their class. Many, many memories remain in the hearts of these seniors. There were just too many good times to forget. The time was not so long ago when they were allowed to have a “Pet Day” in Fourth Grade. Cats, dogs, rabbits, and even a pony filled their day with fun. It was the gift of being able to share something of their own with someone else. The Junior-Senior Trip of 1983 was the thriller of high school. Nearly 70 Juniors and Seniors traveled the 3 hour trip to the Meramec River near St. Louis. Wouldn’t you know that the day they went would be Friday the 13th of May. Some made it to the end still attached to their canoes, but the less fortunate had to travel by lifejacket. It was a day they would never forget. It will not matter how far they will travel after graduation. They will always remain close whether it be through phone, travel, or personal acquaintance. Every thing they leave behind will always be remembered as the class of “84”, the class with a lot of class. Mr. Halbert, Brian, John, Kevin, Mark, Tony, and Jimmy are waiting to catch some unlucky victim and put them in jail during the P.T.S.A. carnival.

Robin Enloe I may look busy, but I'm only confused! The $10,000 Jack Pot The Senior’s this past year had a goal — ten thousand dollars. They organized many different projects trying to reach that goal. First they had the Senior Slave Day in which each Senior was sold to the highest bidder to be their slave for one day. They had a jail and sold raffles at the P.T.S.A. Car- nival. Throughout the year they kept busy making money by having rummage sales, collecting cans, and selling calendars. Everyone in the Senior Class was eager to help raise money to reach their goal. They were going to have the best Senior Trip possible. Their $10,000 goal was for a trip to New Orleans, Louisiana. A class, a goal, the $10,000 Jack Pot.

Senior Personalities Every year the “most likely” pages are placed in the yearbook for the graduating Senior class. They are the people chosen by the Senior class who are “most” about something. Most likely to succeed describes two people who have their act together. Most athletic describes two people who are super active in sports and have been for many years. Most outgoing describes two people first to welcome new students and say hello to everybody. Most lovesick describes two people “head over heels” in love and blind to everybody but that special person. Gabbiest describes two people who seem to have motorized mouths. All these people stand out in the Senior class with a special personality known to everyone. Most Athletic: Susie Clark and John Bedsworth Class Clowns: Vanessa Veit and Tony Purdy are up to their usual shenanigans John has Donna’s sympathy for having nothing more than a paper heart Gabbiest: Mickey Meyers and Susie Clark Most Lovesick: John Bedsworth and Donna Broome Susie and John ...

Mr. Hobson and Dr. Phillips review infor- mation on the progress of the school at the yearly evaluation in November. Growing up and learning have gone side by side throughout the years. We found out that dreaming wasn’t enough and making it happen wasn’t easy. We have learned that falling made for a good learning experience and starting over didn’t seem quite so hard. The teachers were there to help with those little extra problems that would occur along the way. The talks you called lectures showed that they wanted you to be the best possible person. You learned that a “little extra” homework on a game night made for an unhappy evening. You learned that teachers enjoyed their weekend also. Then suddenly, those little dreams that are a part of you start coming true because of pride, believing in yourself and help from teachers.

The Board decides all major decisions about how the school is run, who runs it, and how much money goes where. The superintendent puts the Boards decisions to work, trying to keep order in chaos. The principals, one for both elementary and high school sections, work with the teachers and students to ensure everything runs smoothly. The secretaries and staff do the hardest work of all, keeping everything in triplicate and in files so information can be located in a glance. They keep our school together! 20 A dministra tion: Clark Bedsworth — Vice-President Keeping Our School Together! James Siegel — Treasurer Left. Buy a raffle?

Dedication, it comes with the territory. The faculty at N.B. is dedicated. For seven hours a day they challenge students and encourage them, trying to stimulate their minds. They try not to give up on some, failure comes hard for these people. Their school year begins seven days before ours and continues four days after ours ends. Each day throughout the year is planned, so the students can get all from them that is possible. When times get slow the plans are revised and sometimes completely changed, to bring out the student’s potential. Their work is for our benefit and most wouldn’t want it any other way. All that dedication can lead to frustration if they don’t have a special thing to do when away from the classroom. Teachers, like students, have life after school hours, too. What do they do to relax and forget? One vague comment was “I have my fun in Kansas City.” Hm ..doesn’t that make you wonder what kind of fun? Another enjoys “participating and watching sports, and socializing with friends.” Horticulture is a hobby of another and “house plants are my speciality”, she said. Some faculty members relax like the kids. One male faculty member’s idea of relaxation is “I just go home, turn on the tube, and kick back and relax.” A female faculty member’s idea of relaxation after school was to “Make baby quilts, go fishing, go horseback riding, and riding 3-wheelers and motorbikes.” That does sound fun, and it seems that some teachers enjoy their free time as much as the students do.

They are up by 6:00 a.m. in the morning and hit the road by 7:00 a.m. After the morning route, they don’t have too much time to spare. They have to report back to school for the afternoon route by 2:30 p.m. sharp! With their skillful driving in bad weather, as well as good, they get students to and from school on time and in one piece.

But once that bell rings and we get closer and closer to those treasured faces, our mood begins to mellow and our stomachs calm down to a steady dull roar.

The underclassmen were full of style, “grace” and their own special charm. Together with the seniors, the underclassmen made strides in Academics and extra-curricular activities. Much of what is a part of Student Life seems to be trite, but perhaps years later, it becomes a meaningful memory. Memories, such as dissecting a fetal pig before lunch, giggling in class at your private joke, and dressing up in a monkey suit to take your date to the Homecoming Dance, all these and more become a part of Student Life that will never be replaced.

Laura you’ll guess what! really Dana. never Oooh, Fun and Games Another year started and soon put behind. The Juniors’ year was started with one general thought. Only two more years to go! But by the end of the year they were thinking, what am I going to do after school? The Juniors’ year was filled with many activities such as the tradi- tion of having the concession stand, the selling of cookies, raffle tickets for groceries, Tonanzio’s dinner tickets, and the Sweet- heart Dance. Out of all the projects the Juniors did this year, the one that seemed to be the ultimate was the Sweetheart Dance. The Juniors decided to come to the rescue and save the tradition of the Sweetheart Dance, since F.H.A. wasn’t able to have it. Once the Juniors decided to have the dance they set to work and didn’t waste any time. Everyone in the class pitched in and did their fair share. They decorated 6th and 7th hour on Friday, February 3rd. By the end of school, everything was getting into shape. With super help and cooperation, the Sweetheart Dance was a success and kept the tradition alive. That was just one of the many little extras that filled the Junior classactivities during their year. One cool winter day a bunch of the Juniors had piled in the back of Jeff Phillips’ truck and went to the elementary playground. On the playground they had a huge snowball fight, in Junior tradition! That was the big, little extra that filled the Juniors year. The Junior class bombs Miss Smits with snowballs after their snowball fight!

Every Sophomore knows what it’s like to still feel like a Freshman. During September and October you kept reminding yourself that you were really a Sophomore this year. You kept asking yourself, “Isn’t it hard to believe? Sixth grade seems like yesterday.’’ During the year they tried their hand at making money. They successfully sold magazines in October and they had two booths at the carnival, also helping to enlarge their bank account. Second and third quarters brought a stablizing of status. They knew that they were Sophomores and taunting the Freshmen was such fun. At the end of the year, the excitement of being upperclassmen flowed through the Sophomore class. They walked taller, talked louder, and worked on relaying the image of being Juniors already.

Freshmanitious is a state of mind that most of the ninth graders have, at least, those who pass through the halls of New Bloomfield High School. It is the time when the “bigshots” from junior high move up to become the “squirts” of high school. With this so called state of mind comes happy, crazy and energetic students. Within the class of 1987, one will find top-notch students, athletes and even cheerleaders. If they weren’t involved in an activity of some sort, they were kept busy by being the best possible students they could be. As a class, they worked very well together. For instance, they pulled together to raise money for long-range senior trip plans. They sold raffle tickets for a side of beef which was a very successful money making project. A nail-driving booth at the annual PTSA carnival was another one of their many success stories of the year. The Freshmen class can be very proud of themselves, because, they gave their first year of Robbie Brown needs a little extra high school their best shot and came through with flying colors. concentration in typing class!

Clubs, dances and organiza- tions are a big part of any students high school years. They offer a person the chance to be highly recognized and have a great deal of fun at the same time. Samantha Atwell, Sophomore, commented that she enjoyed going to dances because, “it is a good way to have a perfectly innocent but fun time.” Brett Craighead, Junior, said, “I think the clubs and organiza- tions give the students a chance to get involved in school activities.” Since clubs and organizations have been around about as long as school has, they will contin- ue to add to the life of a student. 4 “tty uttec4 pU tj (2 uctt awut S Uf u, TfttxKccK tyUd, S(oxle @£ vt6, 2uee t, ‘Dmko.

We had the night... The atmosphere was perfect. It was a night for falling stars, magic and falling in love. No other night could have been as perfect. There you were dancing with the most special person in your life. Round and round you danced, hoping the songs would never end. But, they did, as all songs do and you knew that sooner or later the night would go with them. As the evening came to a close, deep in your heart you felt that this night would always be an extra part of your life. Jaime and Vicki are the munchkins in the crowd.

The evening of Friday, February 3rd finally arrived. Numerous students were coming in the doors of the gym dressed in dress clothes. Towards the end of the dance, the King and Queens were an- nounced. There were many smiles and congratulations to the candidates and soon the rock and soul music of Micheal’s Music Machine, a disc jockey from Jefferson City, started up again. Many students began filing out on to the floor for some serious dancing.

It came time to do the decorating for the Sweetheart Dance. It was Friday, February 3rd, sixth and seventh hour when the Juniors worked fast and hard to get the gym ready for the exciting evening ahead. Every Junior put in their fair share of work and had the gym fantastically decorated by the end of school. The decorating of the Sweetheart Dance turned out suc- cessfully, making the evening memorable. The team of Steffen and Phillips tackle a roll of crepe paper while decorating for the Sweetheart Dance. Concentrating hard, Kim Citron, decorates the “big heart” for the Dance.

Mickey Myers struts his stuff at the Homecoming pep rally. Susie Acree eagerly smashes a pie in Mr. Halbert’s face while the students cheer her on during a pep assembly. Hoor-ray, Hurrah, Two, Two, Two, Eat ’Em up, Eat ’Em up, Crunch, Crunch and Alright, Alright, Alright, Decent, Decent, Decent! These two chants could be heard echoing through the gym for the 1983-84 basketball season, as the Wildcat fans cheered their teams to numerous victories. The Wildcat boys and girls had a great season. The pep band played their many tunes to help cheer their teams on. Some of the more popular songs were Tiger Bump and On Wis- consin. In pep assemblies and during the ball- games fans could be seen standing in the bleachers with fists held high as they proudly yelled. There were many extras contributed to help the Wildcats to a victorious year! Drama Department This year Mrs. Cuno and Mrs. Nichols were working together on something new. It was “A Broadway Revue.” It was not a play nor a musical — it involved all aspects of the performing arts. It dealt with many songs from shows on Broadway. Seven acting scenes ranging from 4 to 15 min. in length made up the program. Right. Lynn Rankin gossips to Brandee Polowy about her secret lover who happens to be Brandee’s husband in their skit. Bottom. The choir sings with a voice from the heart, to captivate the audience. Mrs. Cuno stressed that “A Broadway Revue” was not a yearly pro- gram, just something new they wanted to try this year. She believed that this was a show that the audience would enjoy. 0« There were around twenty people trying out with fifteen people landing parts. All C acting parts were cast from the junior and senior classes. “There were a lot of talented people in this school and a production of the nature gave each student a chance to de- monstrate his versatility in more than one performance area,” said Mrs. Cuno. The show had a nice-sized crowd. There were very good acting scenes that everybody understood and enjoyed. There were also many great songs that the choir performed excellently. The ending was « - beautiful with all the students giving Mrs. Cuno and Mrs. Nichols roses. All in all, it was a very good program and an enjoyable even- ing. “Ladies and Gentlemen ....,” Missy Edwards welcomes the audience to a “Broadway Revue” Upper right. Now that’s entertainment!!!

The bands first school performance, March 26th was a recital, put on for the parents, so that the students would be ready for contest, and once again it was an excellent evening. The band marched outstandingly this year at the MU Homecoming parade and received a 3rd place trophy. Another group of talented students, the chorus, directed by Mrs. Susan Nichols, delighted the students and faculty alike during the year.

Seven Staffers and Miss Pamela Smits worked together through deadlines to create this edition of the Beacon. Working during seventh hour, after school, and on some early Saturday mornings isn’t as easy as it sounds. Copy must be writ- ten, layouts drawn, and pic- tures printed, this all takes time and patience. Producing a yearbook is a difficult task, which most teachers and students just don’t realize. Having to write copy can be a frustrating experience. “I feel frustrat- ed, when I have to rewrite copy, because I feel that I did the best I could the first time,” commented Donna Murphy. It took a lot of hard work and a little extra love to make the year a success. Vanessa and Donna sure do act differently to a story deadline. Susie Clark and Kim Byrnes work hard on a Satur- day morning to meet the first deadline of the yearbook. Hard at work, Kim Byrnes makes a poster of the jobs that the seven Journalism Sta ffers have to do weekly. An editor is always on top of things, right Susie!

It’s all applause for the two remaining starters before the Varsity girls game begins. “Are you ready 22?” asked official Gordan May, before the New Bloomfield vs. St. Francis Borgia game. The winter season was filled with lots of excitement as both the girls and guys had excellent seasons. The home games were thrillers as the fan cheered for the players. Even the non-sports minded people came and cheered. You could always count on a good time sitting in the stands yelling for the hometown team.

New Bloomfield Fans will long remember the 1983-84 Men’s Baseball and Basketball seasons as hard fought and optimistic. According to Coach Haley and the players, there was nothing to be ashamed of when looking at the season stats. Coming close to a state title in both sports is no joking matter. Highlights of the baseball season include the extra effort of senior John Bedsworth and the Home Runs of Robbie Wolfe. The Basketball season ended with a winning 1983-84: A Season to Remember ... record of 19-7. Within that season, the Wildcats beat rival Southern Boone by a score of 72-67 and met State Champs Wellsville for a tough semi-finals game.

Homecoming Highlights A ripple of excitement filled the audience as the Varsity cheerleaders started the 1983-84 Homcoming events with a dance routine to Party Train. In between games, a new trend was started. Recognition of all the Homecoming Queens from years past occured. The moment came that everyone had been waiting for, the crowning of the 1983-84 Homcoming Queen, Miss Susie Clark. How did the teams do? Naturally the guys won - both games! After winning both games, everyone left school with a lot of excitement and enthusiasm to dance the night away. I V iocirt John Bedsworth uses his exper- tise to make a perfect shot in warmup. As the Varsity Basketball team proudly struts to the bench, Mike Veit, 34, clinches his fists in determination. At the last two minute time out, Coach Haley gives the guys their winning strategy.

During an age when the family, love and precious moments seem a thing of the past, they can still be found in true form in an annual event at NBHS. We hear a lot about the generation gap, but it would be well for those who believe in the “gap” to visit NB on the night to honor the senior athletes. What we saw there showed a love for school, a love for son, daughter, mom, dad and a sense of pride. “I’m happy, but I am sad too. It is hard to believe that he’s that old. I’ve never had any doubts about him, he has always been a good kid. It has been exciting, he has always been involved in a lot of things. It has been fun to come see him and be proud of him.” Mrs. Bedsworth talking about John “I am very proud of him. He is good at everything he does. Best of luck to him in whatever he does.” Donny Custard talking about Scott “Proud... Very Proud. I think he’s done real well in school- school has done well by him. I feel kinda lost-last year and all. No, I never had any doubts about him, he’s a pretty good boy.” Mr. Jack Custard talking about Scott 74 “I never had any doubt that she would make it. She has really gotten serious about her future this year. I think she is planning to go to college. I am pleased that she was in athletics, because you can learn a lot about life from sports. She has been our baby and it will be hard to be cut off from these school activities. yfrs Clark talking about Susie “This year, Donna has gotten my individual attention. I wish they didn’t have to lose one game at all. I have come to the realization that she has grown up. I feel like I am about to lose her. I am very proud of her. Donna, this is your year, go for it, Mom.” Mrs. McSwain talking about Donna “I am really proud of Bran- dee, because she has her life organized and has come back to basketball for the sake of the school. She is really good in competitive swimming and has not played basketball for several years, but when they said they needed her she came back. She is a very good student and I am proud.” Mrs. Polowy talking about Brandee “I am glad it is over ’cause I’m tired of hollering at Basketball games, Really, I am also so sad to see it end. I am always proud of her.” Mr. Baxter talking about Susan “I am very proud of Vanessa, she is my girl. She has been a sweetie.” Mrs. Veit talking about Vanessa “Susie is a special girl, and I am very proud of her.” Mrs. Acree talking about Susie “Jeanna has made us very proud and our life very special.” Mrs. Fletcher talking about Jeanna. 7S Varsity Boys, Conference Champs ... but Wellsville Clamps!! L Two of the toughest games this year were the battle for 1st place in conference against Tuscumbia and the semi-fi- nals District game against Wells- ville. Although the outcome was different for each game, the ■—- Varsity boys left a lot of sweat on the floor. The conference game against the Tuscumbia Lions proved to be too much for the lions as NB put them away with a 72-67 final. At tipoff, the crowd was definately packed for the lions, but the NB Wildcats put their cheers to silence as the Wildcats moved ahead. The fans of NB con- tinued to roar to the semi-finals game when NB went up against the famous Wellsville Tigers. The tigers proved to be too much for NB with a 64-45 victory, but the way in which the Wildcats went after the tigers showed NB Pride!! -a- - John Bedsworth goes full force on 21 of Wellsville, as Robbie, Clarence and Scott look on. 21, Brad Coots goes in for two points in the midst of 3 Tigers. According to 32 Brett Craighead, going up for a basket means going up! Number One ... They did it and no one could believe it. It wasn’t impossible but it seemed so, because it had never happened before in the history of New Bloomfield High School girls sports. The 1983-84 girls varsity basketball team achieved the once believed impossible; they had won Districts and were heading on for State. By beating Silex 65-63 in the first round of Districts, held at New Haven, they had gained all of the confidence they needed to go on and win the District title. Lana Unnewehr was the high scorer of the game against Silex with 28 points and with 22 points in their victory win against Belle for the District Championship. There couldn’t have been a happier bunch of girls on that night of February 25, 1984. They had just done something that many teams dream of doing; they had won the District title and were heading on for the State Sectionals and Jefferson City. The night of February 28 came sooner than they had expected and the girls were as nervous as ever. They weren’t far from home but the Jefferson City High School gymnasium seemed alien to them. When the game began, they knew that their winning streak was about to take a turn for the worse, unless they played their best game of the season. Susie Clark was high scorer with 16 points, Samantha Siegel had 13, but it wasn’t enough to put the Wildcats in the winners bracket. The game ended 57-39 with Glasgow taking the win. They may have lost, but they still had an outstanding season of 22-5 behind them to boost their spirits. One thing was for certain. They were the team who won Districts and gave State their best shot. That’s what counts the most. With Lana Unnewehr 25 on the line, 15 Donna Broome thinks in ... in ... in!!! From tip-off to the final buzzer (below) the District Championship game was an emotional one. As NB girls hug each other, the Belle team and the NB Cheerleaders share in the victory. As the District Champs are announced, the Wildkittens give themselves a round of applause. Rebounding against Glasgow was no easy task as 25 Lana Unnewehr finds out. In a moment Belle Coach Lawson rare at the game, Ernie showed his feeling of pride for his team. Okay girls, Win! 22, Susie Clark and 25 Lana Unnewehr concen- trate on their opponents during Sectionals.

The PTSA carnival was their first project as they set up a “Booth” for the carnival. They had a fun filled party and the “Booth” was a haunted maze located in Mrs. Beas’ classroom. The maze was something wild for everyone! It was hard to get out of, but fun trying. The 1983-84 class officers had the big responsibility of trying to think of money making projects for the class. “The eighth graders were a very hardworking and dependable group,” according to Mrs. Beas. The eighth grade had great spirit of dedication at every pep assembly, and were rewarded with the “spirit stick”. Their spirit must have been from getting ready to move up to High School, or it could be the outstanding season that the eighth grade boys and girls had in basketball. Whatever the reason, you can easily tell that they will be a hardworking and somewhat crazy class for the next four years. 95 Nick Aeree Shelly Bailey Stacey Bailey Scott Bedsworth Troy Bonnett Darlene Brower Chris Cave John Davis Karen Farris Christy Gargis Bryan Garriott Marvena Garriott Tracy Gastineau Randy George Stacee George Vickie Giboney Brian Gilmore Robert Hoffmann Britt Jeffcoat Wayne Kelly Brenda Kroll Jaime Liebana Kim Landrum Harold Love Betsy Lowry Scott Lowry Rodney Marr Jerry Masek Dale Maupin David Mengawasser 96 Brad Morris Amy Neal Nichole Quesnell Alissa Rohrbach Michelle Salmons Tim Siegel Michelle Spyers Missy Suttles Tammy Todd Christina Trowbridge Sherie Verwys Kathy Wolfe Alan Woolsey Mr. Dennis Fisher Mr. Ernie Lawson Seventh Grade: A little something new The adjustment from elementary can be a trying experience to most seventh-graders. But if these people had a hard time, you sure couldn’t tell it!! From the first day of school, the group marched in and took charge. Although little did they know just how many new experiences they would encounter. First, there was the idea of having your very own locker and then the hassle of changing classes. But after the first couple of weeks, they learned to cope with the bad and really appreciate the good. The “little extras” the teachers and sponsors Dennis Fisher and Ernie Lawson did for them was definitely the “good”. Mr. Fisher replied “They are a good class to work with.” It truly goes to show that the “little extras” at New Bloom- field High School is the seventh grade class.

Even though they may not be the most important part of being in elementary, to the kids they’re a must. At first, it wasn’t easy getting use to the thought of going to school. The days seemed endless; thousands of times you looked at the clock during the day, and it never seemed to move as much as you had hoped it would. But, you always knew when it was time for freedom and that time was recess. At last you could be outside laughing and playing, using all of that bottled up energy. For the younger kids, it was hop-scotch and teeter-totters, but for the older elementary students it was basketball and dodgeball. Some of them even chose academics for their favorite pastime. Wayne Broome from the 6th grade said, “My favorite class is P.E., but I like math and science also.” All of the kids had their different opinions of course. Phillip Allen from 4B commented, “I like school best when we go to P.E. and music class and are out of the room.” Tabitha Seabolt, Jason Bryan, and Darren Schrimf carefully check out the equipment on the National Guard helicopter. Mike Spencer also from 4B gave this unusual but very nice quote. “What I like best about school is math class, playing basketball, and ... my teachers.” Can it be that academics has actually surpassed romping around on the playground? It may just depend on wTho you ask and how you ask it. Baking cakes may not have been their special- ty, but the 6th grade class outshined every- body by having a cake to celebrate Miss Liber- tys’ birthday. A bunch of elementary students wait to be “let loose” during their recess period.

As you walked into 6B’s class this year you would catch some squeaking and shuffling noises. Bet you’ll never guess where they came from! They came from the famous Fred, a gerbil, located at the back of the class. That’s right a gerbil! Fred would tend to get a bit smelly if his cage wasn’t cleaned. While 6B had a gerbil in their class 6A decided to have a pet of a different sort. They went out and raised money to buy a computer by having a craft and bake sale. They used the computer for math. Before anyone was allowed to use the computer they had to take a test on it. Everyone took the test and passed. Computers and Fred, Machine and Animal were the extras that made 6th grade special. Of Little Fairytales: Fables in the Fifth Grade Fables are defined as a legend- ary or unrealistic story having a moral to it. They can really be a lot of fun to write and interesting to read. They may be unrealistic sometimes but they can seem very realistic too. The fifth graders’ used their creative talents this year and came up with several excellent fables. Mr. Haight was really pleased with how well they did and he felt that the fifth graders’ fables were all very interesting. All the kids participated when usually there are a few who don’t. Mr. Haight felt the students learned much by doing these fables. ‘Tm going to be the next Willie McGee , Greg Caudle flatly statee Jessie Baxter Mark Baxter Jay Custard Crystal Fowler Kelly Hayden Lori Locke Kane Quentin Anthony Ridenhour Mindy Rosch Karen Siegel Sky Stegmann Mike Trammell Gary Wagers Jill Webb Mrs. Norma Klemme Photo Not Available Cindy Brown Jody Kimbrough Greg Caudle Dorinda Crump Jody Davis Becki Essen Matthew Frank Kim Goff Chastity Harris Brenda Harrison Alicia McMahan Greg Nichols Tanya O’Neal Tanya Repper Jessica Rohrbach Pat Schroer Amy Schaffer Lance Stout Tina Sutton Alicia Wilbers Mr. Bill Haight f03 Favorite Ricky Clark Billy Crocker Angela Lucas Shawn Maupin Aimee Mayor Tory MacMahan Eric Nadeau Chris Nagel Dawn Schrimpf Greg Siegel Jed Snarr Rich Verwys Eric White Patricia Winter Mrs. Susan Fox Mike Spencer checks out the helicopter! “My favorite thing is having parties, because we get to have cake and other things, but when we have parties, we skip the work! That’s what I Like the best!” said Eric White of Mrs. Fox’s fourth grade. Having parties seem to be everyone’s favorite. The first party of the year was the annual Halloween party and parade. During the morning, everyone participated in the parade, in the afternoon there was cake, cookies and punch for everyone. But as any fourth grader will tell you, there is no limit to favorites! ro4 Fourth Phillip Allen Holly Ambrose Lisa Bias Beffy Cassels Chuck Garriot Sara Holley Alex Jordan Alicia Holland Mike Mueller Kevin Nichols Marsha Nicholas Stacie Priest Everyone agrees that school wasn’t too bad, especially when there were projects, experiments, and making classroom decorations. Although the Christ- mas party was delayed a few weeks due to the cold weather, and because we didn’t have school, the Christmas spirit was still in the air during January. The Christ- mas party was held as it usually is, only a little late. Valentine’s Day came with the everlasting air of romance as each student exchanged Valentines. To the girls, Valentine’s is the best, but the boys aren’t too sure yet.

Learning to curve each letter and indenting each paragraph at just the right time, was a challenge. “The transitions from the first and second grades to third grade are tremendous and the subject matter that they learned was a challenge for them. Multiplication tables, division, long addition and subtraction, cursive handwriting, social studies and science are just a few of the things introduced in the third grade,” said Mrs. Robyn Frame. When you look back on your elementary school years you can see that they are the most enjoyable times of all your school years. f06 Megan Haas Matt Thomas Kristina Boswell uncon- sciously fiddles with her fingers while she patiently waits to explore the National Guard helicopter.

You remember throwing par- ties for the holidays, going out to recess, having your parents come and watch you sing at your concerts, and learning to help your teacher in the best way possible. Mrs. Robyn Frame explains, “There are no pencils al- lowed at the checking sta- tion. When the papers are completed the students shade their answers in yellow to make grading easier and faster.” and life. The 1983-84 third grade class learned this and more with the help of Mrs. Joyce Akeman and Mrs. Robyn Frame. Having a checking station where the students brought their worksheet, and graded it. This was a little extra help to the teacher. Some people may think third grade is just another year of being a little kid in school but, it’s much more than that. It is learning all about school f07 Memories Are Made In Second Grade Of all the memories you have or will have of your school years, your first years in elementary will probably be your most impression- able and memorable. You get to make your first “true” friends. Those special people who help make the relationships that last a lifetime. The 1983-84 bunch of second graders experienced some of those special times. They shared the joys of parties, helicopter tours and having a pet gerble named Fred. In 2a they “enjoyed working with a theme,” said Mrs. Wadley, the teacher of 2b. In years past themes have been “Disney”, “McDonalds”, and “the Forest”. This year was the “Year of the Mouse”. They made bulletin boards, Christmas decorations, wrote book reports, daily papers, and other various projects were designed to in- corporate the theme throughout the year. Some of the activities of 2b were described by Michael Cartmell. Rachael Barnard Kristina Baysinger Valerie Bower Mike Catmill Derik Coots Jonas Ditch Shelly Giboney Mike Hicks Sandy Holsraan Jade Lucas Angie Nichols Kristina O’Neal Jack Settle Ty Stafford David Teffera Mrs. Alene Pogue Trenton Weibold Stephen Wilhite rox “2b was fun to be in. We had fun with math. We had “mad minute” tests. I got done sometimes. If I didn’t care.” Mrs. Pogue agreed with Michael by saying, “I had a great bunch of kids. We especially had fun on the days we made ice cream and venison stew. They had just begun to experience happiness, sadness, laughter and love that would make the memor- ies that will last for the rest of their lives.

According to their teachers, it is a challenge to compete for their short attentions spans, different levels of maturity, and different levels of education. Addition, subtraction, reading, writing, language, and sharing are a few things learned in first grade. The T.V., an item always being put down for kids, can help a great deal in a first grader’s education. For example, during Thanksgiving the kids could understand and relate to the Indians they portrayed because of watching them on T.V. Small, short projects were used throughout the year to teach the kids without forcing the subjects on them. During National Book Week, the principals read to Mrs. Jones’ class. The kids made their own book covers for their favorite books and displayed them on the wall in Mrs. Streeter’s class. Other celebrations included Mickey Mouse’s Birthday, Spring’s Birthday, and in February, Green is Wonderful in which everything revolved around the color green.

The kids decorated their rooms, and trees with handmade ornaments. The students also made presents for their parents and practiced for the Christmas program. When the school year was drawing to a close, both classes went to Max Allen’s Zoo for their final field trip. It was their first real year in school and a difficult one. It started the molding and shaping of their attitudes and feelings about school, and the world. It prepared them to move on, to second grade, then third, to 11 more years of moving on.
