The cadet teacher program went over excep- tionally well with seven seniors participating. These students went to the grade school for one hour each day to assist the teachers with the children by helping them read, running off pa- pers, and making bulletin boards. Cadet teachers for this year were Jim Dubach, Mace Thornton, Beth Marriott, Joi Trant, Brenda Dannevik, Sherri Sharp, and Joe Boeh. Deanna Hoverson acted as office aide during the lunch period. Becky Puckett was a teacher’s aide for Mrs. Rockey, Mr. Hockey, and Mrs. Israel. The teacher’s aide and cadet teachers receive one credit for their work and receive experience working with others. They liked being cadet teachers because they “get to drink pop in the teachers lounge,” “like playing four-square with the kids,” and “enjoy being with people.” Pictured above far left: Mace Thornton and Jim Dubach were cadet teachers during the fifth period for the second and third grades. Here they are running off papers for the next assignment. Above left: Cadet teacher Joi Trant is helping Doug Smith with his assignment. Doug is a member of Mrs. Schultz's fourth grade class. Six Named To Honor Society Membership National Honor Society is an organization designed to recog- nize the all-around superior students. This society is based on scholarship, leadership, ser- vice, and character. Members are narrowed to those students having a B (3.0) aver- age. Students chosen are then initiated at the awards assem- bly in the spring. The group journeyed to Kansas City for a day of sight-seeing which included Halls Crown Center in downtown Kansas City. Pictured, front row: Ron Neu- mann, Don Neumann, and Lee Jordan. Row 2: Deanna Hover- son, Laura Staudenmaier, Su- san Begesse, and Mr. Folsche, sponsor. 13

Club Changes Leaders Placing third in District Land Judging, October 13, and second in State Area Land Judging, October 26, were the highlights of the year for the THS members of Future Farmers of America. The departure of President Tina Robinson was an un- usual experience for the organization. Vice-president Don Neumann assumed the presidency, and his twin brother, Ron Neumann, became vice-president. The members elected a new treasurer, Steve Tharman. Glen Grable was secretary throughout the year. Hoyt (Royal Valley) was the setting for the District Banquet, April 16, where Carl Tharman was selected District FFA Treasurer. Another FFA member, Don Neumann, was named winner of the 1980 Dekalb Agri- cultural Accomplishment Award. State FFA Treasurer, Joe Neumann, was the guest speaker at the local banquet, March 31.
