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

Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1988 volume:

Building a year Bricks, mortar and concrete are not the only building materials used at New Bloomfield High School. New books, rooms and computers were just a few of the building materials received by the students this year. There has been a lot of construction around New Bloomfield High School the past few years. The original high school building was gutted, remodeled, and a new building was attached at the rear. It was more than just erecting a new building that caused New Bloomfield High School to grow. Great strides were taken to expand the curriculum also. Many classes received new books and or equipment in an attempt to make them both more informative and more inter- esting to the students. Organizations and activities also ex- panded as clubs such as FBLA grew to a record number of members. Athletic teams like the Lady Wildcats once again reigned as State 1A Champions. It was more than a time of transi- tion. It was a time for redefining, and re- establishing the goals and ambitions of the student body; a time for going back to the beginning, starting anew, and fo- cusing on only the positive side of life. It was a time for BUILDING ON THE BASICS. It is said that fame is the price of success. This became obvious as several news- teams came to New Bloomfield High School to report the latest accomplishments. Modern technology moved further into New Bloomfield High School as more and more computers were purchased. This one was installed in the high school office. Students had to overcome many difficulties just in order to get to class. ABOVE, Senior Kara Hopsecker trudges through a muddy parking lot going from building to building. Growth Development and Success Achieved by a strong School Board, Administration and Staff Successful school districts are not formulated by fate or luck; they are developed by good, strong, effective leadership. A highly concerned and energetic school board, coupled with strong, effective efforts by the adminis- tration and their staffs, combined to make New Bloomfield High School successful in many areas. The completion of the new high school building this year was only one of the many goals that became reali- ties. Oftentimes, little notice is paid to the behind the scenes work — from the volunteer efforts by the people at the top — to the 24-hour cleaning duties performed by the janitorial staff. Many members of the community pitched in and should be applauded for their efforts as well. Another area that is sometimes overlooked is the large amount of work involved with secretarial positions and the counselor’s office. Since change is inevitable, their job descriptions seem to be in a constant state of turmoil in an ever-changing system, too. Superintendent of Schools is Dr. D. J. Phillips. Kathy Brown (bookkeeper) and Glenda Siegel (board secretary) work in the Central Office. High School Principal is Dan Howard. Connie Bedsworth is high school secretary while Paula Allen assisted. Board members (top left) are: Norris Hill and Bruce Patrick, seated, and Clark Bedsworth, Paul Renoe, JoAnn Boyd and Allen Glick. Music instructor Jordan Perry talks with I)r.

Developing Communication Skills for the Future Communication skills, both oral and written, are developed throughout ones lifetime. Stu- dents at N.B.H.S. surpassed two of the basic three R’s in language arts. Mrs. King taught middle school English this year. During the year the classes worked on mechanical and writing skills. They also wrote a couple of issues of the middle school news- paper. Mrs. King taught high school Economics as well. This was the first year that Econom- ics was offered at New Bloom- field. She said that the kids learned a lot even though they don’t see the importance of it right now. Mrs. Haas taught Spanish I, II, and III, English II, Introduc- tion to Writing, and Practical English. The Introduction to Writing class was made up of twenty three juniors and seniors. They worked on self-portraits, poetry, research papers and even did an issue of the high school newspaper. The Spanish classes all enjoyed a day of Mexican food. This was Mr. Cullen’s first year of teaching and reflecting upon the year he said he enjoyed teaching for the most part. He taught Speech, English I, III, and IV, Mass Communications, and directed two all school plays. The Mass Communications class built and set up a darkroom in cooperation with a business in Fulton, which was used in pro- duction for the yearbook. He also sponsored Missy Suttles in the Callaway Electric’s essay and speech contest, held in Ful- ton. She won first place, an all expense paid one week trip to Washington D.C.

Senior Wes Wade intently works out an algebra problem while Ju- nior Dale Maupin seems intent on solving another type of problem. Forming Math Skills Ms. Sandy Davis is caught off guard by the camera. Math students from geometry, Algebra II, and col- lege math went to the conference math contest held at Lincoln University in April. They entered categories such as problem solving, in which Senior Missy Henley won a second place medal and geometry where Sopho- more Diana Kroll took home a second place medal. In the category of Algebra II there was a three way tie for third place between juniors Tracy Gastineau, Brenda Kroll, and Michelle Spyers. Freshmen Barb Graves, Tina Sutton, and Alicia Wilbers, take a break from Mrs. Smith's math class. Ms. Davis' third hour Algebra II class listens carefully for in- Building on the Future with Computer Jerry Masek, Bryan Garriott, Christina Trowbridge, and Sherrie Verwys all work intently on the com- puters, while Scott Bedsworth works on fixing his computer. The computer class, taught by Ms. Davis, centered on running the Apple II programs of West Soft. These programs included spread sheets, graphs, word processing and other basic business applications. In addi- tion to running programs, the students learned computer his- tory, terminology and applica- tions. With this extra bit of the bas- ics installed, the students can receive a better grasp on indus- try's future. Computers are an ever grow- ing industry. In todays highly technological society they are used in everything from farming to space exploration. With this in mind, New Bloomfield High School students are required to complete one half unit of com- puters class prior to graduation. Therefore, the school's expand- ed computer classes will enable graduates more opportunities for success. Senior Chris Libbert and Junior Scott Bedsworth work on computers under the watchful eye of Ms. Davis.

In the course of the year the students performed labs, wrote reports and, yes, dissected fetal pigs. The science department received new equipment and new direc- tion under the teaching skills of Mrs. Joyce Brown and Ms. Carol Green. This, coupled with the recently built science room, gave the students their best chance to learn the basics of science. When asked what she thought about the school Mrs. Brown replied that she thought the students were great and that the community really supported the school and its activities — she likes it here because of that. She also said that she hopes the school will come up with a physics program soon. Mrs. Brown shows Brenda Jones the vital organs in a fet- al pig.

Larger rooms with some new furniture and equipment created a better learning environment for the students enrolled in business math, basic business, general of- fice training, and typing. Ac- counting class, however, was held in the math room due to an overwhelming amount of stu- dents. In March, a number of busi- ness students attended the dis- trict academic contest held at Kirksville. The novice account- ing team comprised of junior Darlene Brower and seniors Beth Polly and Maria Cain placed first to qualify for the state competition. Each member (cont’d on next page) The business room shines with newness after the rennovation and before being broken in by the students. Participants in the conference, district, and state business contests were: (front) Dor inda Crump, Vickie Giboney, (back) Beth Polly, Darlene Brower, and Maria Cain.

Two days later, the Show-Me conference busi- ness contest was held in Eugene. Maria Cain won first place in novice accounting, while Beth Polly finished close behind in second place. Junior Vickie Giboney competed in typewriting II and came away with first place. The state business contest was held in May at Nichols Career Center in Jefferson City. Although the accounting team didn’t place, they did their best, and it was an honor for them to participate. The members received a certificate for their effort. Ms. Jones (standing) answers a question for sophomore Laura Siegel while Tony Bonnett, Jennifer Frank, and Tina Sut- ton concentrate on their work. Building Blocks for Tomorrow in Social Studies In building blocks for tomor- row we first have to learn some things about today and yester- day. To do this the Psychology class went to Fulton State Hos- pital to experience mental health care. “The students were reluctant and somewhat hesitant when we left, but they came back with a much better feeling about the fa- cility,” their teacher, Mrs. Pat Suttles, said. She also teaches Middle School Social studies. In mid-se- mester, her raven-colored hair became twinged with gray be- cause of the sixth graders (it was a transition year for both Mrs. Suttles and the students due to the change from elementary to middle school). This simply meant a change from a self-con- tained classroom to six or seven classes. This was a learning ex- perience for her because it has been a number of years since she taught Middle School. Approxi- mately 40 Middle School stu- dents tried out for the Academic Bowl she said. The High School history teacher, Coach Walker, took sev- eral students to the Missouri Su- preme Court and Capitol build- ings. Later, they visited the Mis- souri State Penitentiary. While there they talked to two inmates. Coach Walker’s classes had a lot of discussions and acted out skits in current events pertain- ing to child abuse, drugs, self-es- teem and other related subjects. Jason Thompson, a student teacher from the Bahamas, taught American and World History as well as sixth grade. Experimenting with the stock market was just one of the many projects assigned for Ms. King’s economics students. In addition, they were presented with a guest lecture by one of the owners of the Stifel Nicolaus Co. invest- ment firm. In other money matters, the class studied taxes and how they affect us and the country. Who pays, how much they pay, what they get and what they give were covered in various areas. Of course everyone is concerned about money, so investments, CD’s and insurance were inter- esting topics. Several areas of insurance, namely auto, home and life were covered too. Of course one has to pay for these things so a hypo- thetical budget was put in place and students were amazed with the fact that it takes a lot of money to live today. “Most students decided that they would need to make about $1,000.00 a month. That was a real eye-opener for them,” Ms. King said. Jeff Custard de- monstrates the An- aconda Policy in Mrs. Suttles history class. 14 Students from some of Coach Walker's souri State Capitol and Supreme Court State Champion Girls Basketball team, classes enjoyed a field trip to the Mis- buildings.

Kneading through Home Economics “The move to the new building was very hectic, said Ms. Poindexter, and took forever to find things. “It’s more convenient now that we have more space to move around,” she added. Although enrollment was small in some areas, Ms. Poindexter hopes to have larger classes in the future. Ms. Poindexter has received three grants and is in the process of getting Moving is very messy, can you tell? a fourth one. If the home Economics department had not received these grants, they would not have had the luxury of having dishwashers, mi- crowaves, and garbage disposals. A part of one grant bought the new sewing machines. When asked the importance of the grants, she stated two words: “Dollar signs.” This was explained as more equipment for the home Economic classes. All of the grants have gone toward new equipment for the room. Through hard work and persis- tence, the New Bloomfield Home Economics department has devel- oped more than just basics.

Each group held rehearsals dur- ing their respective classes. Dur- ing this time they learned the fundamentals of music as well as prepared for various concerts and competitions. The performances of band and choir included Christmas and Spring concerts. Concert band also played for the dedica- tion ceremony for the new build- ing and assemblies. The district music contest in Mexico, Missouri was a highlight of the year. The band received the highest possible rating of a “I” for their superior perfor- mance. In addition, there was a number of vocal and instrumen- tal solos and ensembles who re- ceived “II” ratings. The New Bloomfield high school concert band was comprised of: 1st row - Karen Siegel, Jessie Baxter, Shelley Citron, Becki Essen, Christy Under- wood, Tanya O’Neal, Stacey Jenkins, Maria Cain, Ruby Will- . meno, 2nd row - Jennifer Frank, Rob Becker, Jill Webb, John Davis, Sandy Patrick, Denny Vogel, Doug Click, 3rd row - Mr. Jordan Perry - Director, Anthony Riden- hour, Tracy Gastineau, Matt Frank, Under the direc- Mark Baxter, 4th row - Kirk Chiles, Tim tion of Mr. Perry Siegel, and Jeff Lester, and the accompa- niment of Miss Martin, the high school concert choir performs a holiday favorite at the Christmas m concert. 18 Mr. Perry conducts the band through a movement of a Christmas hymm, “Noel Francais”. At the dedication ceremony for the new building, the band takes a break after playing several selections for the audience’s listen- ing pleasure. With all eyes watching them, the choir enlightens the crowd with their rendition of “Do You Hear What I Hear?” Another selection performed by the choir was “Once Upon a Starry Night”. 19 Creating Works of Art: Art and Shop Classes Ms. Mary Banks shows Scott Bedsworth how to attach a handle to a clay mug. This is the new Art room before the finishing touches were put on. What will the finished prod- uct be? Only the Seventh grade students, shown here, could tell you. The new art room was a large bonus for the school. With custom cabinets, track lighting and more room, the students seemed to adjust well and appreciate the new facilities. The course of studies included drawing and shading; balance and per- spective; and the different painting methods, such as watercolor and acrylic. The students participat- ed in the creation of the backdrop on the stage for the school play. By dividing it up into four sections and painting each of them separately, the class made two sets of backdrops in this fashion. Near the end of the year the students started working on clay creations. Industrial Arts The seventh hour power me- chanics class was given the job of repairing the “Beast”. The Beast is a 1965 Ford pick-up truck purchased by the school in 1987 specifically for the power mechanics class to repair, and possibly sell, to raise money for the industrial arts classes. With it's bald tires, Mountain Dew gas cap, rough body, ab- sent electrical system, and inop- erable engine, the power me- chanics class had one tough job in store for them. Aside from the Beast, class- work was an important part of learning about the engines and motors to be worked on. Going over ignition systems, cooling systems, complete engines and touching on transmissions proved to be quite a challenge for this group of students. On May 17th The BEAST” fi- nally started. Senior Jeff Davis demonstrates the finer points of the bandsaw. Seniors Mike Cave. Hurky Siegel and Jeff Davis, along with Juniors Travis Riecke, Scot Lowry and Sophomore Jon Rumbaugh, take time out from power mechanics to horse around on the Beast .

Students at N.B. enjoyed P.E. classes. During their gym classes they were able to shoot bas- ketball or play volleyball in the gymnasi- um or go outside to play games of soft- ball. The gym classes were taught by Coach and Athletic Director Rodney Ha- ley. Coach Julie Trammell taught health and elementary gym classes. Students were taught C.P.R., personal hygiene, and were given a course on water safety by the Missouri State Water Patrol. These were two of the more popular classes offered. Students were able to have fun and learn about good health at the same time. Students Shape Daily Life From the shop to the locker rooms, students at NBHS developed different styles and attitudes throughout their daily lives. Hacky Sack was a very popular sport played by most students during their free time. Practicing for extra curricular events and activities caused some students to “Stress Out” - or so they thought - until fi- nally they received the awards and acco- lades for their efforts. Seniors and Juniors assemble with the pop- ular footbag, known as a Hacky Sack, for a little enjoyment from the popular game.

Manufacturing a Middle School Format In the past being in the sixth grade meant that you were the big- gest in grade school. Since the Junior High went to a Middle School format consisting of 6th, 7th, and 8th grade, these students never got the chance to be the big people in grade school. They started out on the right foot and from then on adjusted very well. The transition from elementary to Middle School was a big step for them; however, they handled it very well. The sixth grade participated in many school events and activities. They had a carnival booth, partici- pated in band, Student Council, Drama Club as well as the Academic Bowl. 27 Christina Boswell Rick Boyd Jeffrey Burks Amanda Case Lillie Cassels Jeffrey Custard Kolbi Doyle Eric Dreher James Dudley Brenda Dyson Patrick Essen Carol Farris Joshua Franklin James Garner Megan Haas Becky Henning Kimberly Hinkle Emily Kemp Jessica Kempker Lea Koelbl 28 Seventh Grade Moving up to the seventh grade is a big change tor some people, but these students handled it fine. They had to adjust from being the oldest and most looked up to, to being the youngest and having to look up, themselves. They showed both class and potential, howev- er; they handled the situation like pros. They became very active in the Middle School way of life. Both the boys and girls basketball team had a successful season. They joined clubs such as Student Council, Junior National Honor Society, Drama Club, and band. When asked about their seventh grade year Rick Boyd commented, It's new. You don’t have to get in line. You get free time between classes. You can get snacks. Jeff Custard replied, It's harder. You see your friends more. Some classes are fun. Basketball had more competition, but it’s fun to switch classes. Angie Robinson, closed the conversation with, “It s been fun. It’s not as hard as I thought it would be. I feel closer to my friends.” Forty students proved that they could handle change.

As they moved closer and closer to their high school years, they had to make many adjustments to pre- pare for this. They were the first class to graduate from the middle school. Their many activities in- cluded their own student council, membership in Junior National Honor Society, drama club, and band. Both the boys and girls basketball teams fin- ished their seasons over .500. As they spent their last year in the middle school they were the “big people” in the school. They will have to start over and climb their way back up the ladder to be the BIGGEST as they start their high school years.

The keynote speaker, Mrs. Joyce Akeman, noting that this was the second time for her to speak to this class, delivered a cautionary speech encouraging them to avoid things that would stop them. School Board President Norris Hill presented diplomas; the Invo- cation and Benediction were deliv- ered by Brother Rick Hopkins. The Processional and Recessional were played by Tina Martin, Middle School music teacher. The graduating class and the audience were treated to an enthusiastic speech delivered by Ms. Joyce Akeman, Third Grade teacher at New Bloomfield. Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now’ 32 Following graduation ceremonies, a re-' ception was held in the multi-Purpose Room. Each graduate received a flower also. The keynote speaker at the graduation ceremonies was Mrs. Joyce Akeman. She cautioned graduates about things that could stop them — now — and in the fu- ture. Homecoming Memories That special time of the year at New Bloom- field has come and gone again. Student Council did various things for the Homecoming ceremony. Many people got involved in the celebration and the activities that took place. There was a spirit week which consisted of prep versus goat roper day, the traditional orange and black day, a securi- ty day and a character day. The theme, The Time of My Life, was chosen by the Student Council. On Friday night the Homecoming game was played. The New Bloomfield Wildcats hosted the St. Eliza- beth Hornets. The Wildcats won the contest by a comfortable margin, adding to the excitement of the celebration. A dance was held on Saturday night in the school gymnasium. Members of Stu- dent Council decorated all morning and all after- noon for the activities. When midnight rolled around the spell was broken and Homecoming had to come to an end.

Constructing A Cure As the days passed by, “Senioritis grabbed New Bloomfield seniors and lured them away from the dull and boring routine of school. Desperation overcame sensibility and drastic measures had to be taken. Their one chance for survival was frolicing like only seniors knew how. For some, a means of release was playing hacky-sack. Others enjoyed dances, pep assemblies, and causing a com- motion during class. Occasionally, the call of duty was strong, but the call of the wild was usually stronger. However, each senior some- how managed to pull themselves together in time to gradu- ate. Denny Vogel and Ken Bergmann cut out of class to “hack it up with junior, Travis Reicke.

Missy Henley, Cindy Jenkins, and Beth Polly (left) sit for a spell as Kara Hopsecker (right) joins her escort for refreshments. Memories, looking back, saying goodbye, good times, bad times they all made the year complete. By going to student activities, by competing in academic and sporting events, by manning parent teacher student ac- tivities, seniors develop fond memo- ries. This combines to create a year that is most memorable - a year that lasts for a lifetime, providing a mul- titide of pleasure.

Cl Seniors Achieve — Surpass Fundamentals Chris, “Hur- ky”, Siegel at the plate. It took 13 long, hard years but the kindergarten class of 1976 finally became the senior class of 1988. Each student had to meet and defeat many obstacles along the way. It may have been a challenging class or a tough ballgame but each of these graduating seniors overcame their handicaps. In the end their will to graduate and be the best prevailed. Sandy Patrick, Amy Settle, and Kara Hopsecker study in the li- brary. The 13 year seniors together on the mer- ry-go round.

This year the seniors gave “Dirty Dancing” a number one rating. The movie starred Patrick Swayze as a night club dancer at a family vacation resort. The seniors chose Swayze as their favorite actor and Molly Ring- wald, star of “For Keeps”, as their favorite actress. Fashion - The Statement At New Bloomfield High what you weai says a lot about you. The style this year was very loose, and casual dress with comfort ir mind was “in”. Jeans, sweatshirts, and hi-top tennis shoes were favorites in senior ward- robes. Senior Tonya Haymart gives us a look at senior style. The Thing To Do Being with friends while either cruising or rockin’ at a killer party on the weekends was the thing to do as far as NB seniors were concerned. After spending a week at school, there’s nothing more fun than cruis- ing, partying, and being with friends. And fun, after all, is what the week- end is all about. During free time in class the seniors enjoy each others’ company. Decorations on lockers were just one of the many ways sen- iors expressed themselves. Showin’ It Off Seniors this year were a very opinionated and outspoken class. They loved to express themselves. The clothes they wore, the books they read, the type of recreation they each chose, and the music they lis- tened to were reflections of varied personalities. Finicky You are what you eat from your head to your feet. The seniors were very picky about what they ate. Piz- za was their favorite food but only if it was the right kind of pizza. Onions and fish were a definite no and pepperonis and a thick crust were a definite yes. 43 Christopher Libbert Sandy Patrick Bradley Nichols Elizabeth Polly Brian Powell Steven Patrick Cynthia Jenkins Christopher Shea Alice Stephens Christopher Siegel Clint Thomas Jeffrey Trammell 45 MeShell Rice Amy Settle Senior Personalities Achieving a Reputation Beth Polly and Denny Vogel demon- strate why they were voted “Most Tal- ented” as they paint and sing their way to stardom. “Most Handsome” Thurman Gleb primps over “Prettiest” Amy Settle while she ad- mires her baby blues. m munication U CJUTW WLf MW mtr ternum “Most Feminine” Tonya Haymart was snowbound until “Most Masculine” Chris “Hurky” Siegel came to her rescue. 46 Ken Bergmann and Lori Cave were up to their usual antics. It was no surprise when they were voted “Class Clowns”. Personality and style were what gave the seniors “class”. From the unique to the elite, from the bizarre to the bashful, the seniors lived up to the repu- tations that they each created for themselves. Individuals be- came known throughout the school for their extraordinary good looks, superior minds, off the wall humor, and bubbling personalities.

It was the beginning of the last two years of high school. It was time to start thinking about the future, about college, the armed forces, or a steady job. In everything the juniors did, whether as a class or as individuals, they went above and beyond the basics. Vickie Giboney brought home a first place medal from the Conference Business Contest and Darlene Brower received a 1 rating on the first place accounting team in Kirksville. It was a rewarding year for class athletes. On top of being part of a state championship basketball team Kenna Walker was chosen all-state on the first team and Tracy Gastineau tied a title game’s assist record in the champion- ship basketball game. I he class worked as a group running the concession stand at ballgames, raising money in the PTSA carnival, and planning for the junior-senior trip. I he class decided to go to the Lake of the Ozarks for their last day with their senior friends and the last day that they would be juniors, it was their time to take on the responsibilities of being a senior. The juniors will never forget the times they had this year. It was a time of growing up, and a time for making memories. For the juniors of “88”, it was a time for going “Beyond the Basics”.

It soon became evident though, that it was going to be a long year. With little happening to the sophomores as a class, the year was centered on individual activities. Together as a class the sophomores had their booth in the PTSA carni- val. The proceeds from the football throw booth went to help Robbie Colter and Angela Holland, sophomore candidates, for PTSA King and Queen. A few weeks later, Homecoming started. Diana Kroll, a sophomore, was a Queen nominee. Although Di- ana did not win, she did represent the sophomores with class. The Academic Festival at Kirksville was represent- ed by sophomores also. Sheila Ashby collected a 2 rating in Novice Typing Proficiency and a 3 rating in Typing Speed and Accuracy. When asked what the year was like, Tracey Henley replied, “When I am here, the teach- ers seem nicer. Maybe they’ve mel- lowed because they know we’re one year closer to graduation!” Mike Davis commented, “If they had a longer lunch shift, I could make it through the day.” When asked about the year, Sheila Ashby stated, “I think the school year has been pretty good so far -1 mean the new building helped alot! I guess it was great for me be- cause we went to State and that was. awe- Sheila Ashby Michael Davis Becky Farris Jennifer Frank Roxane Gazey Tanya Hale Tracey Henley Robert Hill Angela Holland Kathy Holsman David Horn 52 Stacey Jenkins Scott Jordan Pamela Koebl Diana Kroll Jeffrey Lester Sarah Manson Kary Nunnery Reva Owings Leo Pitt Chris Reider Not pictured Michelle McGowan Ruby Willmeno Kurt Wohldmann Jason Woods Tony Taggert Michael Wade Gayla Wilhite Diana Kroll and Mrs. Haas are caught off-guard by the camera.

For some it’s one down, three to go”, for others it was the beginning of a promising four year span that will include many accomplish- ments, awards and honors. With the new change came new problems and solutions. Being able to participate in High School sports activities was one. On their field trip to Nichols Career Center, the Freshmen explored the possibilities of a vocational career. A few members of the Fresh- men class attended the Aca- demic Festival in Kirksville, and brought awards home for NBHS.

There were many dedicated athletes in both middle and high school that helped to make it a winning year. Each year these students are given recognition for their outstanding achieve- ments in sports. Awards ceremonies were held in the high school for middle school and at Tonanzio’s for the high school.

Building Winning Seasons The New Bloomfield Jr. High Basketball teams kept the tradition as both had winning seasons. The seventh and eighth grade girls compiled a 10- 1 record. The highlight of the girls season was a first place finish in the South Callaway Jr. Basketball Tourna- ment. Leading the team for the season was Angie Lucas who had 135 points, and a 63 free throw percentage. Leading in rebounds was Megan Haas with 66 and Gin- ger Barber who pulled in 64 while having 36 steals. Jes- sica Kempker helped out with 25 assists. The boys accomplishments for the season included a third place finish in the South Callaway Jr. Tournament. They finished the year with a 12-7 record. Kevin Nichols looks back to check the score as he and Jerry Jordan hustle down the floor. School Spirits are Raised by Cheerleaders Cheerleaders don’t just build pyramids, they build enthusiasm, too. Being a cheerleader is a lot of fun, but it can be hard work, too. This year the Varsity Boys and Varsity Girls cheerleaders attended camp together. They were taught by ten outstanding instructors from the National Cheerleading Association (NCA). The camp was held in Springfield, Missouri. The girls worked very hard and won a blue ribbon every night. There were several experienced squads that attended the camp, but the girls competed fiercely and received the spirit stick one night of the five. Also during the summer, the twelve girls had a carwash to raise money. Both squads practiced long and hard hours. It showed as they performed interesting pep as- semblies and cheered enthusiastically at the games. Several of the girls on the squad were first year cheerleaders. “They do exceptionally well for being inex- perienced.” Co-captain Amy Settle commented. The Varsity Boys were sponsored by Julie Trammell and the Varsity Girls were sponsored by Karen King. School spirit - that’s what the cheerleaders stress. The girl cheerleaders put on a pep assembly and received a little help from the “legettes”.

It’s not quantity but quality that counts and the Junior Varsity team improved with every game they played. With four seniors leaving, the Junior Varsity strived to be able to fill those vacancies. The Junior Varsity was also the Varsity team’s main fans at the games cheering them on to victo- ries. As Senior Varsity outfielder Kara Hopsecker said, “We couldn’t do it without the Junior Varsity. They were always sup- portive.” Junior Varsity pitcher Dorinda Crump re- leases the ball for a strike. Girls Softball Teams Compile Winning Seasons The season began with gruelling hours of practice and plenty of sore muscles. Coach Trammell and Coach Green didn’t let a practice end until the whole team did a specific drill without errors. All the hard work paid off with a successful season of 18-2. The team was led by seniors Kara Hopsecker in left field; Sandy Patrick at third base; Amy Settle in centerfield and Patty Wilderman in right field or first base. The season was one that was full of emotion. The ups and downs of the tournaments; defeating South Callaway at their own tournament or the 3-2 loss of the championship of the Jeff City tourney to the state 3A-4A 2nd finisher Macon. Later, the Lady Wildcats win over Linn clinched them the conference title. After capturing the conference title, the Lady Wildcats were ready for districts. The Lady Cats paved their way on to the district finals by defeating Centralia 4-1 and 3rd seeded Linn by 4-1 also. Then they faced their most formidable opponent — last year’s state champions, the Southern Boone Eagles. The final game of District 7 would be played by the second seeded team (New Bloomfield) and the first seeded team (Southern Boone). The Lady Cats had waited a long time for this game — every game that they had played earlier was just practice for the team they knew they would be up against all season long. After being second in districts in 1986 behind Southern Boone; the Lady Wildcats were looking for revenge. The Cats and Eagles both gave it their all with the Lady Wildcats turning five double plays. The game went the distance of 15 innings before the deadlocked scoreless tie was broken by Southern Boone scoring three runs. Junior pitcher Brenda Kroll commented after the game: “It was the most memorable experience of my high school softball career so far.” Senior outfielder Amy Settle added; “If determination could have determined the score, we would have won the game. It’s too bad the two best teams in the state have to be in the same district.” � I Fall Scoreboard , NB 9 Jeff City 11 Russellville 10 Eugene 7 St. Elizabeth 15 Hannibal ?• 2 Macon 5 Fatima 18 Russelville 19 Tuscumbia Hallsville 13 Eugene 10 South Callaway South Callaway North Callaway 12 South Callaway 0 Southern Boone Senior Patty Wilder- man holds the run- ner close to the bag 65 Lady Wildcats’ Spring Season is a Perfect 8-0 Daring the runner to make a move. Sophomore catcher Diana Kroil shows why she received the golden glove award during Spring play. Senior Co- Captain Sandy Patrick, below, concen- trates on the upcoming pitch. The Lady Wildcats record for the Spring Season was a perfect 8-0, holding their opponents scoreless in six of those games. The only problem that the Lady Cats had during Spring action was with the weather. They had three games canceled due to rain and one forfeit. Combining the Fall and Spring records, the girls were victors in 26 of the 28 games that they played. To compile that many victories, extra-ordinary effort must be exerted by the members of the team. Taking the MVP award for both seasons was Junior Brenda Kroil. Like- wise, Senior Co-Captain Sandy Patrick received the hustle award for both seasons as well as the most stolen bases in Fall ac- tion. Junior Tracy Gastineau stole 9 bases during Spring play to take top honors in that de- partment. Games are won with runs, however, and Senior Co-Captain in Spring action, Patty Wilder- man, knocked in 14 runs and batted an impressive .750 to take leading hitter and RBI awards. Fall Co-Captain Brenda Kroil was the leading hitter and tied with Junior Michelle Salmons in knocking in runs. Salmons was also voted the most improved player by her teammates during Fall. Taking that honor in the Spring was Junior Darlene Brower. Good defensive play enabled the Wildcats to keep their oppo- nents scoring to a minimum. Se- nior Co-Captain Amy Settle won the golden glove award in Fall while Sophomore Diana Kroil took that honor in Spring play. Voted as the outstanding JV players were Junior Missy Suttles and Freshman Lori Locke for the two seasons.

The girls started off their season with a win over South Callaway and went on to beat teams as large as Columbia Hickman, the Jefferson City Jays, and the Helias Crusaders. There was some outstanding tal- ent on the JV team. Cindy Brown led the team in both scoring and game as- sists. Brown, only in her freshman year, ended the season with 133 points. Sheila Ashby was leading rebounder while Michelle Salmons was the lead- ing free throw shooter making 11 bask- ets out of her 17 attempts. These girls’ achievements were recognized at the Athletic Awards banquet at the end of the school year. Michelle Spyers brings the ball down court.

Varsity Girls 31-0 Championship Season Varsity girls’ basketball started with a win over South Callaway and ended with a championship win over Rich Hill. The girls defeated every team they played during the entire season. They were put up against some tough teams and they always walked off the court the victor. Kenna Walker, who was leading scorer, and Patty Wilderman the leading rebounder for the team, were both picked for the 1A girls’ all-state team and Tracy Gastineau was chosen to be on the second all-state team. Coach Ken Walker was awarded Coach of the Year. In 86 games since being head coach here Walker lost only 3 games. His 200th career win came when the Lady ’Cats defeated Warrenton. Teamwork was the key to the Wildcats perfect season. They almost always played as one - each one doing exactly what Coach Walker asked of them. Kara Hopsecker played a very aggressive defense and Sandy Patrick and Leigh Underwood had a knack for always being in the right place at the right time to get the job done. The girls had a record of 31-0 and became the 1987-88 1A Girls basketball champions.

This win advanced the girls to quarter-final play against North Shelby at Kirksville. Beating out North Shelby 53-36 was the last game on the road to state playoffs. This was the win that sent them to Springfield. Many people provided the girls with support along the way. Family and friends, peers and teachers and members of the community combined to rally the girls to victory. 70 VG - Achieve Success - 1A State Champions The Hammons Center court in Springfield was what was in the minds of the Lady Wildcats throughout every practice and every game of the season, and now they were there. The girls weren’t satisfied with a 29-0 sea- son, for them it had to be every- thing and that meant winning at Springfield. The first of two games put the kittens up against a strong Scott Co. Central. The Bravettes were the only team tough enough so far to put the girls down in sec- ond half play. The game was still tied at 33 with 30 seconds left to play. For the team, the coach, and the fans, it was probably the longest, hardest 30 seconds of their lives. With two seconds left, Scott Co. made the mistake the girls were waiting for: Patty Wilderman picked off a pass and shot it up for two. “At first I didn’t realize that the game was on the line, Wilderman said, I re- ally don’t know what I was doing with the ball. I just tossed it up and it went in. Then it hit me that we had won and I started going crazy.” They had made it. They were in the championship game. Now the only thing standing between them and everything they had worked so hard for was Rich Hill. “I wasn’t as nervous for the championship as I was for the first game, Tracy Gastineau said, I don’t know why, I just felt better.” Gastineau started the game off with a 12-foot jumper to put the Wildcats on top early. Later in the third quarter, New Bloomfield once again lost their lead. Three starters were in foul trouble, and to prove the old say- ing “there is no limit to how bad things can get” true, Coach Walker lost his voice in the mid- dle of a time-out. Still, like al- ways, the ’Cats showed just how much they wanted to be champs. “I never felt like we wouldn’t win,” said senior Kara Hopseck- er and she was right. The girls did it, another win, only this was THE win - they were STATE CHAMPIONS - they were the best. Varsity girls “Push it real good” before leaving for Springfield. 71 Seniors Kara Hopsecker and Patty Wilderman say g(K)d-bye as the team leaves for Springfield.

With a 17-6 record the boys took first in their conference. The JV was lead by Robert Hill who had 266 total points, 90 rebounds, and dished out 71 assists. Running close behind Robert was Mike Wade. Mike had 241 total points, grabbed 168 re- bounds and blocked 12 shots in the course of the season. Even though these two led the team, all who participated had a fine year and built on their fundamentals of basketball.

All of the knowledge and experience gained during JV play, combined with new knowl- edge and practice in varsity ses- sions makes for a good group of players. This in turn makes a good team and a winning year. After losing three starting Seniors, Coach Haley had to find the right combination of players. He had to look at their fundamentals in practice and in open gyms and their past per- formance in JV or as non-star- ters in Varsity. Throughout the season the combination changed, but two key players were always there, Jeff Tram- mell and Chris “Hurky” Siegel. These two players had not only learned the fundamentals but also knew how to improve upon them as well. Jeff tossed in 515 total points, dished out 132 as- sists and grabbed 152 rebounds. Hurky scored 424 points, pulled down 189 rebounds and rejected 23 shot attempts.

Coach Rod Haley The Varsity boys team did have a tough conference. Though with this knowledge, the boys still had as one of their objectives to finish first in their conference. They all knew this would be a difficult task and that it would take a lot of work. Remembering last year’s record and how far they went inspired the team to set higher goals. These included going all the way to State. The team was disappointed when the season ended and they only received 2nd in Conference. Junior John Davis takes a shot in a game against MSD.

The Essence of Basketball The pictures on these two pages show the effort that is put forth by the Varsity team members. Whether in a game or in practice the players always worked and strived to become better. By the end of the season a great change had occurred, Sophomores and Juniors looked like Varsity material ready to take on the challenges of the upcoming year. Blood, sweat and tears is what this game is all about. Practicing during the holidays, snow days, and even some weekends added up to practice, practice, practice. At the beginning of the season, most of the players felt the affects of tough practices. Although they wanted prac- tice to end, all knew, as Coach Rodney Haley knew, that it was for the best. Under Coach Haley’s direction, the Wildcats have had many win- ning seasons and the 1987-88 season (16-8) was not an exception. “This years team was highlighted by a lot of balance and great ef- fort along with some outstanding performances in the season. A lot of different players gained experience while we had a winning season,” Coach Haley commented. JV - Varsity Boys Fashion Winning Seasons America’s favorite national pastime is pursued with much enthusiasm at New Bloomfield. Twice a year, the boys practice the fundamentals with hopes of improving on previous perfor- mances. Practice is what it takes; the Junior Varsity boys suffered a losing season in the Fall (3-4) but would come on in Spring ac- tion to achieve a 9-4 record. The Varsity boys, on the other hand, attained winning records for both seasons of play. Seniors Jeff Trammell and Chris “Hurky” Siegel had batting av- erages of 509 and 510 respective- ly in Fall action. Siegel pounded out 9 home runs and totaled 39 RBI's. Trammell knocked in 22 runs and was successful in 28 of 30 stolen base attempts. Pitching was not a problem for Trammell either, as he won four and lost two during the Fall 11- 5 season. Scott Bedsworth, Ju- nior, won four while only losing one. Chris Siegel won two and lost one. Bedsworth, Siegel and Tim Siegel (1-1) combined their talents to produce five shut- outs. Games are not won without scoring runs, however, and the team outscored their opponents by 97 runs. In addition to Tram- mell’s and Siegel’s hitting per- formances, Tim Siegel, Clint Thomas and John Davis hit .300 or over and five players averaged above .227. Another factor in the Varsity’s winning Fall season was stealing 99 of 106 attempted stolen bases compared to their opponents achieving only 17 of 22. The boys put it all together to compile a winning season. Seniors Chris Hurky Siegel and Mike Cave and Sophomore Robert Hill relax while Sopho- more Kirk Chiles steams toward home.

Varsity Boys Win Districts, Sectionals and Quarter- finals New Bloomfield’s Varsity base- ball players accumulated a 13-6 record during Spring action prior to entering District competition. Traveling to St. Elizabeth, they would be making an at- tempt to win the 1988 District title for the fifth consecutive year. They were not to be denied as they defeated Stoutland 10-2 in the first game and they edged Crocker 4-2 in the second. Sectional play at New Bloomfield against Skyline Urbana on May 26 was a relatively easy 16-2 victory. Seven Wildcats scored runs on the Tigers; Jeff Trammell scored four times, Mike Cave and Chris Siegel crossed the plate three times each. Furthermore, the Wildcats stole 9 bases in 10 attempts. Quarter-final action meant travel- ing to Lebanon to face Walnut Grove on May 28. Again, the boys were victo- rious, defeating their opponents by a wide margin, 17-3. Eleven Wildcats would cross home plate in that game, five more than once. In addition, they went 8 for 8 on stolen bases. Once again, the Wildcats would be traveling to Columbia for the final four competition for the fourth consecutive year. While Greg Caudle applies eye shadow to Clint Thomas, both coaches get things straight with the umpires. Coaches Rod Haley and Ken Walker reflect a determination to win. 84 Senior Jeff Trammell scores the first run tory.

Wildcats Frame Both the Junior Varsity and the Varsity Wildcat teams tal- lied winning records in Spring play. Sophomore slugger Mike Davis led the JV with an impres- sive .531 batting average over 13 games (9-4). In addition, Juniors Scott Bedsworth, Dale Maupin and Alan Woolsey hit .500, .406 and .385, respectively. Good hitting, combined with Winning Records in Baseball daring running on the base- paths, enabled the JV to out- score their opponents 100-71. Sophomore Jeff Lester was 18 of 18 in stolen base attempts and Freshman Jay Custard stole 16 of 16 as part of New Bloomfield’s 81 of 85 stolen base record. Winning games is not achiev- ed without good pitching; John Davis (4-0), Robert Hill (3-1) and Mike Davis (2-0) claimed 9 victories for the JV. Senior Jeff Trammell (8-2) led the varsity boys in pitching and set a new school record for mak- ing 39 out of 42 stolen base at- tempts. Junior Tim Siegel pit- ched as many games as Tram- mell (12) and won 3 and lost 3. Another Junior hurler, Scott Bedsworth, (4-3) started 9 Senior Jeff Tram- mell slides into sec- ond safely in the sectional game against Skyline. He set a new school re- cord during Spring play making 39 of 42 attempts. t Members of the baseball team and parents worked during a weekend to make a warning track for the out- field. games for the Wildcats. Chris “Hurky” Siegel (2-0) rounded out the pitching rotation for the ’Cat’s 17-8 Spring record. As in the Fall season, the ’Cats overshadowed their opponents in stolen bases making 111 of 123 attempted steals compared to their adversaries pilfering only 31 of 42. Good pitching needs good hit- ting to produce wins and the Wildcats outhit their opponents by a 203 to 134 margin. Collec- tively, they out-averaged their opponents 320 to 232. Seniors Trammell and Siegel hit 470 and 462. Juniors Dale Maupin and Alan Woolsey hit a respectful .500 although they did not have as many chances at the plate. Ju- nior Tim Siegel hit .343, Sopho- more Mike Davis logged .324 and Junior John Davis just mis- sed .300. Four other Cats hov- ered around the .250 mark. Senior Clint Thomas took top honors in the round-tripper de- partment with 6. Close behind was “Hurky” Siegel with 5 and a team leading 39 RBI’s. Jeff Trammell knocked in 26 runs and Tim Siegel produced 21. Collectively, the Wildcats out- scored their opponents 221 to 91; however, a lack of runs would be their downfall in the 1A State Championship playoffs Seniors Thurman Gleb and Jeff Trammell show their batting prowess in game 1 of the 1A State Championship competi- tion at Columbia. Hurky waits patiently for the umpires and the Valley Park Hawks to iron out a problem. The Wildcats' hopes for the championship were dashed with the 5-2 de- feat that went 9 innings. Wildcats take 4th For the fourth time in as many years the Wildcats trav- eled to Columbia hoping to gain a 1st place trophy as they did in 1986. After taking 3rd in 1987 and 1985, they would find themselves fourth place fin- ishers in 1988 after suffering defeats to the Valley Park Hawks and the Crane Pirates. In both of those games a lack of runs and erratic defensive play would determine the out- come. The Wildcats stranded 12 men in each game. “We just left too many men on base,” Coach Rodney Haley said. “We also didn’t play the kind of defense we played all year. Our pitching was fine.” Starting pitcher Scott Bedsworth scores a run and is congratulated by his teammates. Coach Rodney Haley ponders the game during defensive play. The Wildcats were presented with fourth place medals. :9 j saixiAixov Homecoming night at New Bloom- field was an evening of memories for all the high school students and their dates who attended. Homecoming, Fun Spring Concert Comprise Evening In the spotlight, the homecoming court and their escorts engage in a special dance. Senior Tammy Frank and her escort (front enjoy a fast dance. On Friday, May 13, the New Bloomfield community was treated to an evening of musical entertainment by New Bloomfield band and music students. The High School choir, conducted by Mr. Jordan Perry, was accompanied by Ms. Tina Martin, elementary music teacher. Mr. Perry, in his first year at New Bloomfield, also led the High School Band, the Seventh and Eighth grade band as well as the Sixth grade band in lively and spir- ited performances ranging from Classical to Pop numbers. Much to the delight of the au- dience, Mr. Perry put the Fifth grade band through warm-up exercises to begin the evening’s en- tertainment. The High School band played the selec- tion that earned them a I rating at District contest as well. Although it was a warm and muggy evening, the audience seemed pleased with the hour long performance. Laying the Foundation for NBHS Student council was involved in a variety of activities other than sponsoring the two major dances for New Bloomfield students. At the PTSA Carnival they held the “Hoop an Animal” booth to help raise funds for their various projects. One of the major items student council provided for the stu- dents was a new soda machine through an agreement with the Pepsi-Cola company. Elections for the officers for the upcoming year were held after an all school assembly featuring campaign speeches from prospective soph- omores and juniors. Student council also took part in honor- ing two teachers retiring from the New Bloomfield school dis- trict, Mrs. Alene Pogue and Mr. Selby Aswell, by treating them to dinner. Patty Wilderman, Student Council President, presents a speech to the ad- ministration, faculty, students, par- ents, and guests at the dedication cer- emony for the new building. Incumbant secretary Missy Suttles, junior, seeks the office of president as she reads her campaign speech.

FHA - Adding Depth to NB Activities Some may believe that Future Homemakers of America is involved with merely sewing and cooking. However, there is more to this organiza- tion than meets the eye. FHA offers opportunities for high school students to grow as individuals as well as cooperate in group situations. The New Bloomfield chapter participated in several events in order to fulfill their goals. October 1st was the Region IV FHA meeting held at Troy, Missouri. The members attended workshops on such topics as child abuse and neglect, up member- ship ideas, community service projects, and stress management. In addition, regional officers Amy Zumbehl, Historian and Maria Cain, Secretary gave workshops for their respective offices. On February 5th, FHA sponsored the annual Sweetheart Dance. By working together to prepare Valentine decorations and refreshments, the mem- bers created a successful evening that was enjoyed by everyone who was in attendance. The New Bloomfield FHA chapter included (1st row) Ms. Debbie Poindexter - Advisor, Becky Farris - Secretary, Amy Zumbehl - Pres- ident, Maria Cain - 1st Vice-President, Teresa Flaugher - 2nd Vice- President, (2nd row) Vicky Shaw - Parliamentarian, Gayla Wilhite - Student Council Representative, Stacey Jenkins - Historian, Jenni- fer Willmeno - Treasurer, (3rd row) Jennifer Frank, and Ruby Will- meno.

The organizations are always working to build a better school and community to live in. They sponsored Drug Awareness week and a Missouri Highway Patrol- man came and lectured about al- cohol and drug related deaths in Missouri. At Christmas, mem- bers went carolling at Golden Village and other area residents, they also bought gifts for the less fortunate children with the An- gel Tree project. For Valentines, NHS members went back to sell- ing the traditional sweetheart carnations. They built on to the size of the group this year by in- ducting eight new members in the spring. Seniors had the larg- est single class membership. There were nineteen seniors in the group and this was the larg- est single class membership ever. 95 Mixing Pleasure with Business Promoting good business, participating in competition, and provid- ing service for the community are several fundamentals of Future Busi- ness Leaders of America.

Gathered in a circle, Michelle Spyers, Brenda Kroll, Mike Trammell, Dar- lene Brower, and Jill Webb engage in an intelligent conversation. Building Funds With PTSA Carnival The basics and the best for the students and community have always been important to the New Bloomfield PTSA. This year was no different, for the PTSA held their annual carnival to raise money for the different classes and clubs of the school. The night of Saturday, Novem- ber 14 started early and ended late for workers and sponsors of the different booths. The high- light of the evening was the crowning of the Carnival King and Queen. The procession was lead by Freshmen Amy Shaffer, escorted by Travis Boessen. Next up were Sophomores An- gela Holland and Robbie Colter. The Juniors were represented by Michelle Salmons and Harold Love as her escort. From the Se- nior class came “Hurky Siegel escorting Tammy Fowler. After all of the votes were counted it was decided that the 1987-88 PTSA Carnival King and Queen were Juniors Harold Love and Michelle Salmons. Marsha Nichols, Hollie Ambrose and Melanie Thomas share stories and drink some juice. Rhonda Locke is surprised by the cam- era while Mrs. Haley looks to see what's happeninq. From 3A, David Bettenhausen escorts Courtney Steele. From the Kindergarten class, Joshua Phillips and Becky Smith pose for pictures. Mrs. Gastineau adjusts the dress on her daughter, Brooke.

Drama Club - Creating a Scene Getting into character to be a drama club member included building and decorating sets, taking lessons in makeup application and costume design, developing a superior memory, dedicating numerous hours to rehearsals, and having a lot of fun. The drama club had their work cut out for them. They sponsored fall and spring plays as well as participated in two speech contests. “Lock, Stock, and Lipstick”, a comedy was the fall produc- tion starring junior Harold Love and senior Tonya Haymart. This featured a chauvinistic male guid- ance counselor in a school filled with dominating females whose life became turned around by a new woman co-worker with a different attitude. Anoth- er comedy, “Break a Leg” was presented in the spring. In this play about a play, Sherie Verwys starred as the director on the verge of a nervous breakdown as everything imaginable went wrong during dress rehearsal the night before the play. A surprise ending made it all the more hilarious. Three members also attended area speech con- tests. The Show-Me conference contest was held at Westphalia, and Russellville High School spon- sored their annual speech tournament. Missy Hen- ley, senior received honors at Russellville. She was awarded third place for her prose reading. The drama club members and officers included: 1st row - Patty Wilderman, Tonya Haymart - President, Maria Cain - Vice- President, Tammy Frank - Secretary Treasurer, Tracey Henley - Student Council Representative, 2nd row - Jennifer Frank, Robby Colter, Kolbi Doyle, Wendy Maylee, 3rd row - Alice Ste- phens, Jessie Baxter, Becki Essen, and Mr. Mike Cullen - Spon- sor.

In this scene from “Lock, Stock, and Lipstick”, Jane Gardner (Tonya Haymart) is caught in the middle of a heat- ed discussion be- tween Principal Miss Entwhistle (Tammy Frank) and Counselor Gordon Warren (Harold Love). The crazy cast of “Break a Leg” ends up on the floor after taking their director’s words of “break a leg” literally. Lined up hand in hand for a curtain call, the cast of “Lock, Stock, and Lipstick” smiles after a well done performance. Jane Gardner watches as Mr. Warren (middle) gives a lecture to Carol Izzard (Shiela Ashby) and Larry Donley (Patty Wilderman) in “Lock, Stock, and Lip- stick”. Amy Zumbehl and Michelle Salmons goof off during a rehearsal for “Break a Leg” while Michelle Spyers concentrates on her algebra. 101 Composing a Musical Image with Marching Band, Music Club, and Flag Corps When school began in the fall, the Marching Wildcats wasted no time in preparing for the marching season ahead. With a new band director, a number of first-year members, and brand new uniforms, there was a different attitude among the Wildcats along with a list of goals for the year. They began by rehearsing during band classes as well as before school. The parade schedule consisted of the Helias Home- coming Parade in Jefferson City, the Holiday Pa- rade in Columbia, Christmas parades in Linn and Holts Summit, and others. Their hard work and effort was rewarded with a second place win at the Linn parade. Lining up and making last min- ute preparations, the Marching Wildcats await the start of the Halloween Pa- rade in New Bloomfield.

NBHS Graduates 38 at Commencement Exercises On Saturday, May 28, 1988, 38 members of the Senior Class of New Bloomfield High School proudly and happily crossed the stage enroute to new horizons “Somewhere Out There.” Fourteen of those students were recognized with awards, certificates and honors. Maria Cain, class valedictorian, deliv- ered an energetic and promising valedictory of future hopes, goals and aspirations. Former high school princi- pal at New Bloomfield, Ralph Damon, challenged the students to consider the future as an op- portunity for advancement, cau- tioning them to “Never Say Goodbye” to family, friends and the community. Dr. Joe Phillips, Superin- tendent of Schools, presented the class as Norris Hill, presi- dent of the Board of Education, and board members awarded the diplomas. The High School Band, led by Jordan Perry, provided the music and Jerry Anderson, pas- tor of Dry Fork Baptist Church, offered the Invocation and the Benediction. Members of the Se- nior Class were recog- nized for their accom- plishments; former principal Ralph Da- mon delivered the Commencement Ad- dress; Board Mem- bers, Administration, and the Rev. Jerry An- derson were distin- guished guests; Jor- dan Perry directed the high school band and MeShell Rice seems happy that it is finally over. Awards, Accolades, Activities Granted Seniors May is a very busy month for graduating high school seniors. Crammed in with all the last minute school work assignments and preparations for the future — whether for more school, for the service, for the work force, or for starting a new home — activ- ities abound. Baccalaureate Services, for example, were held May 22 at the Christian Church. Families, friends, faculty and administra- tion watched with pride as the Senior Class of 1988 received challenges and directions from five area ministers. Class Presi- dent Sandy Patrick delivered a memory-evoking address to her peers ana the audience. Several members of the class, as well as underclassmen total- ing 51 students, were recognized for superior academic perform- ance two evenings later at Aca- demic Recognition Night. All in attendance were fortunate to hear Dr. Kenneth Bowman, As- sociate Commissioner of Educa- tion, speak on the status of edu- cation in America today. Dr. Bowman, a former teach- er, coach, and Superintendent, urged students to “continue to strive with vigor as you have thus far. Education starts at birth and continues until you die.” Middle and High School Counselor Sharon Bullard deliv- ered an excellent speech on the academic process. Dan Howard, Middle and High School princi- pal, addressed the 10 worst in- fluences and highest ranked classes in schools today. Super- intendent of Schools D. Joe Phil- lips presented the honor certifi- cates and Student Body Presi- dent Patty Wilderman offered closing remarks. After the long-awaited gradu- ation ceremonies on May 28, parents and community mem- bers combined their efforts to provide the Senior Class with all-night entertainment at The Racquet Club in Jefferson City. Growth and Development at NBHS Building for the future at New Bloomfield High School was attained with the completion of the new high school. Phases II and III were finally completed as the renovating of the old building and construction of the connec- ting rooms came to a finish. On January 11, all the doors were opened to the building. Many new rooms were added to the school; a new computer room, a home economics room, an art room, a classroom and restrooms. Other addi- tions were the installation of many mod- ern conveniences, including microwaves, dishwashers, garbage disposals and au- tomatic icemakers. The art room has many added con- veniences also, some of which are track lights, special cabinets and a kiln. Fur- thermore, marker boards have replaced chalk boards. The school has specialized energy efficient projected windows that give off heat. The new construction with added facilities, combined with a renovated pre-school and new parking lot helped to create a school system that goes beyond the basics. Some of the artifacts remaining from the following the dedication ceremony of the Spring on the parking lot and was com- old high school building were on display new building. Work began late in the pleted before school was out. Henovation of the original old building includ- well as new classrooms, ed energy efficient doors and windows as Mrs. Bernice Howell, a former teacher at New Bloomfield, was pre- sented flowers by school board member Bruce Patrick. 109 Farm Power Lawn Leisure John Deere Tractors and Mowers Kubota Tractors Honda Tractors JOHN DEERE TRACTORS NOTHING RUNS LIKE A DEERE''11 LAWN LEISURE STORE 1702 Bus Loop 70 E COLUMBIA m 442-1139 CALLAWAY COUNTY OFFICIALS County Treasurer - Marsha Chism County Assessor - Ron Craighead County Collector - Melvin Tate County Clerk - Linda Love Prosecuting Attorney - Diana Garber Circuit Clerk - Opal Trammell Heying Sheriff - Harry Lee Presiding Circuit Judge - Frank Conley Circuit Judge - Gene Hamelton Circuit Judge - Ellen S.
