Their responsibilities include setting up policies and procedures to regulate the schooL This includes aU purchases, construCtion, hiring of employees, and student activities, such as class trips and dances.

Their main concern is raising funds for needed. items such as: a new microwave oven for the home economics room, buying paint and paiming the old school building inside and out. They accomplish this by having fund·raisers throughout the school year. A fe w of the fund .raisers they sponsor arc: chili sup~rs , school carnivals, and membership drives. Through the years, the P.T.O. has done a remarkable job o f supporting the Exeter Schools.

Sara Mattingly has worked at the Exeter Schools for fourteen non-consecutive years, as secretary to the superintendent.

She is also the grandmother of 6. Mrs. Mattingly is a very efficient secretary, and does a wonderful job of keeping Mr. Burns and his office organized.

degree in 1981, both of which were completed at SMSU. He worked for 14 years as an educator and princi-

pal, then began working for a supply company sell· ing school suppl ies and fund-raising items. He decided to go back to work as an educator, and chose

Exeter School because, "I think Exeter has the potem ial ro be an excellent school. The work ethic is high in many students. T he students and faculty are good to work with, and the people in the communi. ty are excellent supporters for education."

UNEVER SAY NEVER" Putting together an annual may sound like a lot of fun and excitement, but members of the annual staff soon find Out there is mOre there than meets the eye. There is a lot of responsibility and pressure that goes into the making of an annual, and a lot of decisions ro be made. Members soon learn that everyone must work together, cooperate with each other, and occasionaly bite their tOngues when things aren't going smoothly. There are pictures to be taken, copy to be written, layout sheets to be completed, deadlines co be met, and bills to be paid. "Who's got the sophomore pictures? What do you mean there are no elementary snaps?! That page mUSt be mailed today!" The next time you hear these sounds coming from the business room, you can relax and be confident that the annual staff has everything under control?!

Each issue wa"s full of news from each classroom. The issues also had a fun page full of activities to do when you got done reading all the news. Edicor SaUy Warren says, "I feel we had a ve ry produccive year and a lot of new ideas were brought to the Exeter sc hool paper."

For example, they provide fee dba ck from the students co the administration. They also provide in put into the student handbook, and ocher school concerns. In addition, they sponsor such activities as the T ipOff Dance and the Miss Merry Christmas election and pageant. They sold spirit bags before Ch ristmas to help fund these activities. Office rs of the Student Council are elected by the student body after a three· day campaign and an assembly of campaign speeches. Other officers include each class president and an elected representative from each class. The student council is an important part of our school.

Future Ho memakers of America is a nationally known organi zation whose goal is to share ideas and activities chat will aid youth in developing competent skills for the family life and future careers. The Exeter Chapter of F.H.A. started out the 1985-1986 school year by attending the Region II convention in Carl Junction. President J ana Tucker won the R.O.S.E. award, and the group as a whole won an award for attendance, and received a National Membership Recognition Certificate for having more than 40 members. On October 18, the F. H.A. held a Rock-a-Thon. The members got people to sponsor them, and rocked on the square at Cassville for twenty-four hours to raise money fo r the March of Dimes and the Barry County Developmental Cente r. They received a trophy from the March of Dimes for their donation. F.H.A. closed Out the year by going on a field trip to Worlds of Fun in Kansas City.

The Pep Club had a successful year, with help from the sponsor, Miss J ean Beatie. There wa s good attendance at home ga mes , and there was usually room on the buses to cake extra pep club members to away ga mes. At the fi rst meeting of the school yea r, it was decided that selling candy stic ks would once aga in be the fundraisier to earn money for the Homeco ming. Later on in the year, Tiger paws were sold to help boost school spirit. As everyone knows, Homecoming is the Pep Club's biggest project during the school yea r. This year's Homecoming, with the theme "IN THE AIR " was a big SUCcess despite the cancellation and rescheduling due to snow. The victory over Southwest in the Junior Varsity and especially the Varsity game left everyone in the mood for celebration, which took place in the form of a dance. Music for the dance was provided by U.S. 97, and there was music ro please everyone. Overall, there was a large turnout to both the Homecoming game and dance. The success of Homecoming meant a successful year for Pep Club.

The cafeteria was transformed into a dance hall by the pep dub in twO short hours. T he Homecoming backdrop ~fore the "big Event."

The second camp was a four day camp, and it was held at the UnLverSlty of Arkansas. At this event, the cheerleaders were awarded a red ribbon for their evaluation ~ay performance. These camps were very beneficial to the squad. They learned ma~y thm.gs that they used throughout the year, includ ing new cheers, stacks, and ~ routme whICh they performed at Homecoming to the tune of "Holiday." . High School principal, Jerry Caywood, commended the cheerleaders for the job they did m gettmg the students to participate in the season -opening pep rally, which turned Out co be a huge success. ~~nsor , Jean Beatie, had this comment, "This has been a very spi rited squad.

They were picked to finish 6th in conference, but they ended up 5th. Highlights of the seasons were, when the Tigers beat McAuley in 4 overtimes, victory over Southwest at Homecoming, and beating Seneca, a team that won their 2A Regional.

Would you get off my back!!!

Due to inju ries and other difficulties the team was forced to play mostly younger players, hopefully, gaining experience. SCOtt Ethridge had a great year. He was the areas leading scorer he led the club in rebounding , scoring, and shooting percentage. SCOtt was named to the AIl·District, All-Area 3rd team, KURM Dream Team, and AlI·Conference teams. Calvin Frazier led in free throw percentage, and Urian Coffey led the team in assists. Next year we hope to have a very good season.

first 5 games, but went on win 7 straight games. The game at W heaton was the turning point of the season, as we held the m to o nly 4 runs in 5 innings. This gave the girls confidence in themselves. After that game, we went on to see so me results, and we sta rted winning. OUf defense attack and stolen bases were our keys to vi ctories. Lori Nelson led the team in stolen bases, and Natalie H iggs led in RBI' s and home.runs. T he juniors really helped by getting the team motivated; they always took charge. I didn't have to worry about the team getting into the game, because the juniors we re always psyched an d got the rest of t he team motivated." All players are returning next year , so it should be a promis ing year. Is this what we call "softball practice!"
