BOARD OF EDUCATION
SUPERINTENDENT To the Class of 1989: Your Senior year marks an important crossroads in your lives. You have given of your efforts and talents at the direction of a dedicated staff who has helped in maintaining a high commitment for each of you during your time with Purdy High School. At the conclusion of your high school year, filled with memories and friendships that will endure a lifetime, you are also standing on the threshold of your future. What are you going to do? Have you chosen your work, your vocation, your place in life, or are you drifting, hoping that something will tum up? It will, but the thing that turns up will be of no value to you unless you are willing and prepared to take it as it comes. Don't float! Dead fish float. Make up your mind that you will put your dreams into blueprints, and then, with that blueprint in hand, you will build your future. You are prepared and my total confidence rests with each of you as you make your plans. I have enjoyed my time spent with each of you and look forward to watching your future successes develop. Thank you for being an important part in my life. Respectfully, your Superintendent, Sheldon Buxton

Dedication to Mrs. Helen Bennett It is with honor and respect that I would like to dedicate this page of the 1989 Purdy Eagle Yearbook to Mrs. Helen Bennett, a cherished friend and colleague. Her years of service to the teaching profession offer a fine example and high challenge for all of us committed to teaching the youth of our community. Mrs. Bennett attended Purdy Schools for twelve years and graduated as salutatorian of her class. She earned a double major in music and business education from Missouri State Teacher's College in Springfield, Mo., now Southwest Missouri State University. She began her teaching career in 1940 at Norwood, Mo. before coming to Purdy Schools in 1941. All of her years of service have been devoted to the R-II School District and the community that she and her husband, George, have resided in during this time. Since 1961, with the exception of three years, she has served as advisor for the Purdy Eagle Yearbook. She has served as National Honor Society advisor, class sponsor, and numerous other organizational assignments. Students under the direction of Mrs. Bennett have always ranked at the top in competition in Business Education Contests to include the award of the Business Sweepstakes Trophy in 1975 presented by Crowder College. Because of her exemplary teaching and dedication to her profession and students, she was honored as a fmalist for the 1983-84 Missouri State Teacher of the Year, placing her name among an elite group of professionals statewide. Her professional performance is further reinforced through her personal qualities of concern for colleagues and compassion for her students. Former students and co-workers state that she is never too busy to help someone else. Employers have voiced their respect for her students by the degree of preparation noticed in their skills and most importantly their attitudes toward commitment, punctuality, and pride in the quality of work they perform on the job. Helen Bennett has established a high goal for all of us to follow. Her years of dedicated and loyal service to her community, school, church, and family have provided us with much love and admiration for her efforts that can never be replaced nor forgotten . It has been a respected honor to have known and worked with Mrs. Bennett as a colleague. Her years of exemplary service with Purdy Schools will be remembered by all of us who have known and grown to love her. Respectfully, Sheldon L. Buxton Superintendent

ELEMENTARY PRINCIPAL
HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
The Elementary faculty adopted the theme "The Learning Place" for the 1988-89 school year m order to develop a feeling of collegiality with the staff and students. This year has been an eXCltmg one with the growth and addition of many programs. Our new programs consist of the Outdoor Classroom and Computer Skills for each classroom. It is our belief at the elementary school that every child has the ability to learn with one teachmg technique or another. This has been demonstrated in our excelled performance on the Mlssoun Mastery and Achievement Test administered in the spring of each school year. Cumculum mstructlOn and improvement is an .ongoing pr?cess from updating new textbook senes to updatmg new teaching approaches. In conclusion, Purdy Elementary truly is " The Learning Place" for our community.
Preparing the daily bulletin
The Special People of the Class of 1989: You are entering a decision-making and pivotal juncture of your lives.

When things go wrong, as they sometimes wilt
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest! if you must - out never quit.
Life is queer, with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about When he might have won if he'd stuck it out. Success is failure turned inside out The silver tint of the clouds of doubt And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit _ It's when things seem worst that YOU
MUSTN'T QUIT. - Author Unknown Shannon Francisco Valedictorian
To the Graduating Seniors of 1989: God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and discipline (2 Timothy 1:7) therefore we can do all things through Christ which
strengthens us. (Phillipians 4:13). May God be with you and walk beside you through times of joy and despair. I wish you the best.
Life is like a race. Sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose. During the race you may stumble and fall, but if you want to finish, you must get up and keep going. Being the first person to cross the finish line doesn't always make you a winner. It's those who work hard and keep pushing themselves and finish the race that are winners, There's a story I'd like to share with you. It is about a runner. This runner was a little girl in last year's summer Special Olympics. She had several handicaps, but was filled with detennination to do her best. When the starter sounded and the runners had taken off, the little girl stumbled and fell. She pushed herself up and kept running. She took a few more steps and again she fell. This happened until she crossed the finish line. She was the last one to cross, but by looking at her, one would never have guessed. She finished with her hands held high saying " [ did it! [ did it!" [hope that we may all one day look back on our lives and say with pride that we also did it! Good luck and may God be with you.

The seniors had a great time in Galveston, Texas, on the Senior trip May 14-19. Along with the sunshine and beautiful beach they toured NASA, Sea-ARama, the Astrodome, Hard Rock Cafe, the Galleria, and boarded the Colonel for a two-hour cruise. Souvenirs and sunburns are not the only thing the seniors brought home with them - they will always have fond memories of their classmates, the class of 1989.
Cheers to the seniors.

MR. EVANS, SPONSOR
The 8th grade trip to Jefferson City was a lot of fun. We enjoyed everything we did. We went to the Highway Patrol Museum and to the Conservation Department where we watched filmstrips and then toured the grounds . We went to the Capitol Building which was very interesting. We ended the trip by playing miniature golf and riding Go-carts at "Putt-N-Stuff. " After a tiring day, we returned to the school with some great souvenirs, but even greater memories.

The Lady Eagles found 1988 a very rewarding year with a record of 17-11-3. They were District Champs, Sectional Champs, and 3rd in the state. Coach Nancy Easter captured Ozark 6 Coach of the Year and 1A State Coach of the Year. Shannon Francisco, Shelley Swadley, and Rhonda Robberson received All Conference honors. Rhonda also received All District, All Area, All Region, and 1st team All State honors.
All the miles and all the sprints finally paid off for the Lady Eagles. This was the year they really wanted to prove themselves, and they did! For the first time ever, Purdy sent a volleyball team to state. Round robin play got off to a slow start with a tie to Archie, a loss to Greenridge, and another loss to the 1A Champs, Lesterville. The Lady Eagles captured 3rd place honors by defeating Archie in 2 games. Congratulations, girls, on a very fine year!

They worked extremely hard at summer camp and their efforts were rewarded by receiving the Spirit Trophy and a Spirit Stick. The activities they sponsored for Spirit Week were Black/Gold Day, Copy Cat Day, Generic Day, Lick-Em Day and Dress-Up Day. On Friday, December 9, the Mr. Tip-Off Contest was held. The candidates were Seniors, Jason Bennett and Scott Holden; Junior, Gary Martin; Sophomore, Aaron Francisco; and Freshman, Shannon Galloway.

Our multiple assignment classroom has an enrollment of eleven this year - four in junior high and seven high schoolers. We've studied a wide variety of materials. Health students have studied teen pregnancy, child abuse, drug abuse and STD. The juniors have studied to pass the U.5. Constitution test and eighth graders have worked on the Missouri history and constitution. In math, we've tried to cover measurements and banking skills for high school students and consumer shopping skills for junior highers. We are also working hard to improve spelling, reading, and writing skills. Some of our students represented Purdy well at the bowling tournament at Monett in November and at track and field day at Joplin in April. It's been a good year - fun and challenging, I hope.
The students kept very busy. Grades 4-6 participated in soccer, floor hockey, tumbling, rhythms, flag football , volleyball, basketball, softball, rope jumping, and low organizational games. Students K-3 activities were rope jumping, ball skills, tumbling, track and field, rhythms, bean bag games, and body space awareness. All students K-6 were involved with a fitness testing.

What would a space creature see if he landed here at Purdy High
School or what fantastic thing do you want to be remembered for, were two writing assignments the 9th grade class completed this year in English. Along with writing, the 9th grade studied grammar, and enjoyed reading Great Expectations and Romeo and Juliet. Sophomores created pets out of paper clips, light bulbs, ink pens and anything else their imaginations could come up with in their writing. The juniors, along with studying how our American MRS. BUSSMAN literature came into being, became real poets themselves. And the seniors, after reading and analyzing a few dozen books, writing research papers and studying Macbeth, should be ready to swing right into college. All of the students in Sr. High English enjoyed seeing their writing published in the cafeteria during the lunch hours.

HISTORY & P.E.
HISTORY & PSYCHOLOGY
l
Why does anyone bother to study history? The answers differ for each person. Most people simply like a good story and " his story" has brought to life real people and events rather than invented ones. These stories teach moral lessons, explain how or why events turned out as they did and ultimately people learn what mistakes to avoid and what good examples to follow. History can be seen as a way of understanding ourselves and our own world.
MR. DOHN
Seventh grade studied World History from a global approach that provided them with a basic knowledge of Eastern and Western civilizations. The importance of contributions and influences of non-western civilizations were emphasized. Eighth grade studied political and social events and developments between the time America was first discovered to the Civil War period. Students also undertook an in-depth study of the United States Constitution. Physical Education students participated in activities to help them grow physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally. Activities were designed to encourage students to continue to exercise and maintain good physical condition after they reach adulthood.

This was the first year for a Select Choir Program. After several years as an extra-curricular activity, the Swing Singsations were incorporated into the regular class schedule. Members were selected by audition and committed themselves to developing the skills necessary for a musical show group. In addition to singing, they learned choreography, staging, and costuming. Other major activities included the NEO Sing Choir Workshop, NEO Music Contest, MSSC District Music Contest, the annual Christmas program, All-School Talent Show, and several other school programs. All students in grades K-7 participated in a regular class schedule. The objective of this curriculum was to introduce them to musical concepts that they would be able to use throughout their lives as music consumers or performers. Students who demonstrated special interest in vocal music had the opportunity to participate in two extra-curricular vocal groups. Eagle Echoes - grades 5 and 6, PJH Express - grades 7 and 8. Students in these groups also performed vocal solo, ensemble, and large group music at the NEO Vocal Contest in Miami, OK, in April.

Eighth grade math is a culmination of the basics in math - decimals, fractions, percents, measurement, integers, geometry, and whole numbers. As the students enter high school, they will combine these basics with the language of Algebra. Pre-Algebra is one of the two choices freshmen have for math. In Pre-Algebra, students use the basics they've learned in grades K-8, added to basic Algebra terminology, they get a general overview of Algebra. Physical Science is the 9th grade science course.

The competitive incentives grant program is encouraging for all teachers in a school district to implement innovative projects which are designed to improve instructions. The Purdy School District submitted a grant in the Spring of 1988 along with 1,722 others from across the state. There were 498 projects approved with Purdy'S being one of the select few. The Outdoor Classroom will consist of nine major centers as well as many similar investigation or identification type stations throughout the seven-acre plot. Research has indicated that when students have opportunity to have hands-on experience, their knowledge is increased greatly. We predict that this learning center will allow for instructional growth at the Purdy R-II School District. Weather station

No American's gonna beat me!
Mini Course Day
R-O-C-K in the U.s.A.
The German backhand
I arrived in the United States on August 2, 1988. I stayed in Washington, DC with 14 other exchange students for three days. After that I went to my host family, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Mareth. They have a dairy farm where I help after school. In Germany I come from a 200-acre farm where we raise crops and pigs. I graduated from school two years ago, and the last two years I made an apprenticeship in agriculture. When I am back in Germany, I will help my father on the farm and then I have to go into the service in December for 18 months. The American school system is very different from the German system. We do not have school sports or other school activities in Germany. That is the reason why I like it over here very much. I am very glad that everybody made my stay so enjoyable over here. But I am also glad to go home on August 1. I will meet my group in Washington, DC on July 22. I will always have fond memories of my year in America.

COLOPHON The Purdy Eagle Yearbook was published by the advanced business class. The book was printed by Taylor Publishing Company in Dallas, Texas. Candid photographs were taken and processed by photographers in the class. Group photos and portraits were taken and processed by Rogers Studio of Monett, MO. Press run for the 1989 Purdy Eagle was 155 copies. Each copy contained 176 pages. The books were sold for $17 each. An additional cost of $1.50 was added for gold name stamping on the cover. A special thanks goes to our Taylor Yearbook Representative, Cheryl Chrisman, for all her help.
