An effective yeerbook tries to present the story of the school year in one of two ways. It can be organized by an artistic design or by a theme that is carried throughout the book. We chose to follow the theme approach by using movies and movie titles to represent the different sections of the annual. But just a theme can't make a yearbook lasting. . .it takes a lot of hard work from many people. First and foremost, thanks go to the 1978Annual Staff who contributed both their time and talents to create this book. Also, thanks go to the staff photographers: Linda Bischoff, David Woodruff, Kory Krofft, and Stephanie Pitts. A very special thank you to Mrs. Lindabury, our advisor, whose efforts were "above and beyond the call of duty." Her creativity added a great deal to the "spice" of our book. Brett Vottero was our Head Photographer and Business Manager, he deserves a special thanks also.
The Staff's gratitude goes out to Mrs. Arlington and the Ada Herald, Steve White and Tom Keis, our Taylor Representatives, Powell Studios, Paul Weimer and Cathi Naylor for their artwork, Bruce Elliott for his assistance in almost every aspect of the production of this yearbook, and thanks to all the businesses who bought Ads.
But most of all, thanks to YOU. We hope you enjoy your yearbook I

Inspirational remarks were addressed to the seniors by both Supt. Neil Allen and Rev. Doyll H. Andrews. Both men spoke idealistically of setting goals and striving to fulfill dreams.
Jeff Bischoff and Mark Oliver were chosen top in their class and highly honored as Co-Valedictorians. Jeff also was given the Senior Scholar and Athlete Award by Ada Herald, the Mabel Crawford Award and Ohio Merit Scholarship recognition. Beside being Co-Valedictorian, Mark also received the Mabel Crawford Award presented by Supt. Allen. Salutatorian, Barb Conley, was also recipient of the Senior Scholar and Athlete Award, the Hancock-Wood Award, and Ohio Merit Scholarship recognition.
The class motto spoke appropriately of the senior's feelings of their last days of high school:
"As the doors close behind us,
We smile and walk forward.
Knowing we've left a little bit of us behind.”INI EHF»I€II

“You Light Up My Life” was certainly an appropriate theme for the junior-senior prom. As couples entered, they saw a hundred tiny lights floating in the brandy snifters which were later given as favors. Music was provided by Sir Thomas Johnstone who performed the theme song at various times throughout the evening of April 22, 1978. Prom was held again this year at the McIntosh Center ballroom.1) Mark Blevins asks his date, "How deep is your love?” 2) Nita Sperrow and Chris Binkley only believe in “Slow dancin' Swayin’ to the music.” 3) Kelli Toland and Eric Wolber enjoy their “Night at the opera.” 4) “Looks like we (Cathi Naylor and Brian Willeke) made it” to the prom. 5) Jeff Criblez and Sandy Wagner wonder “Do you feel like we do?” 6) Larry Lile looks like, “You make me feel like dancin' ” 7) “Nobody does it better” than Randy...Dance, that is.

Seven!
■Lori Simmons ....Mimi Awad
No better movie could be selected to depict our seven school sports than “The Magnificent Seven.” And again this year they certainly proved that they were magnificent! Ada not only gained area honors but also we earned the ultimate award and realized the American Dream; we became State Class A Girl’s Basketball Champs. Although each sport requires different physical and mental abilities, ail sports demand of the participant dedication and self-discipline. Through dedication and self-discipline, athletics gives the competitor a feeling of self-esteem and accomplishment. And for no other reason than this, sports are magnificent.Senior Cheerleaders Reminisce
1) (left to right) from top—Juli Lawrence, Amy Allen, Sandy Wagner, Anita Hopson, Lori Simon, LuAnn Wyss 2) Sandy Wagner, cheerleader for five years. “I can remember camp my senior year...having water fights when we were so hot...'Swimming' at Juli’s house (wearing our “birthday-suits”) at 2:00 in the morning, playing ‘I dare you.’ The lights suddenly flashed on and there stood Juli’s mother! ...She never did find out what was going on. Surprise, Mrs. Lawrence!...being with my friends on the squad and cheering for the “Mighty Bulldogs” (especially Jeff), were the reasons why I enjoyed cheering.” 3) Amy Allen, a cheerleader for six years. “...Spending time with each other, meeting new people, slumber parties were my most memorable moments in cheerleading— especially cheering at the Regionals. There were so many people there—I got such a good feeling just being a part of it...I am proud to say I was a cheerleader for Ada." 4) Juli Lawrence, cheerleader for six years. “...Tryouts, mounts, and swimming at 2:00 a.m. were my favorite moments while cheerleading.. .Cheerleading is a lot of work, but a lot of fun...It teaches how to get up in front of a crowd, being able to communicate and get along with others...It’s the best way to go through school.” 5) Anita Hopson—“I’ve been a cheerleader for as long as I can remember! Going to camp and riding on the fire engines were so much fun. I enjoyed cheering because I'm representing something special...I’m really going to miss it...” 6) Captain Amy Allen and advisor Norla Strasbaugh.
Junior High Squads
Mindy Berger and Camille Runser were chosen by their fellow cheerleaders to be captains of their respective squads during the 77-78 school year.

Berger, Runser Lead J V,Gridders End Season 7-2-
The Bulldogs ended their season with a fantastic 7-2-1 record under the direction of new head coach, Jeff Wise. In the conference, they ended with a 6-1-1 record, the only team able to defeat the conference champion, Paulding Coach Wise, previously a coach at the College of Wooster and the University of Toledo, quotes on the past season:
“Looking back over our progress, I sincerely feel that we came a long, long way ... The players worked hard and accepted changes with an eager attitude. They conditioned hard, improved their skills, and came together as a football family. All of these things added together, plus our lack of key injuries, and outstanding play by a large number of players, resulted in our very successful season."
In the NWC, five players were selected to the first team, one to the second team, and five gained honorable mention. Overall, the season was very successful and everyone at Ada High can be proud of both a fine team and fine coaches.

90Golfers “Putt-out” 100%
Although golf isn’t as demanding physically as football or cross country, it takes as much patience, confidence, and talent as in any other sport. This year was a “rebuilding year” for the golf team Even though our golfers didn’t win the conference title, they gained much valuable experience. They also broke Bluffton’s 33 match win string and one player. Dan Umphress. held second place in the NWC tournament Since all of these players are returning, unlike most of the other teams in the N WC. the chances of regaining the conference title are excellent.

91Berton Heads CC Seniors
Dave Berton was chosen by the cross country team to be their 1977 CC captain. Dave was honored at the fall sports banquet held in October by members of the team.
1) Kevin Fitzpatrick, manager of the team, had been with the team for four years. He remembered the State CC meet that Ada ran in 75 and winning the NWC trophy the same year He also recalls putting away all of the uniforms at the end of the season and at the same time readying for basketball. Amid all of the hectic events, Kevin feels that it was worth it. 2) Displaying their natural ability to clown around are, from the left, Jeff “Twink” McBride and Dan Schumacher. They can recall times such as the “James Gang” years, playing football after practice, and the bus trips which included things such as playing cards and “doing things" to passing cars. (Which can be left to the imagination!) 3) Captain, Dave, enjoyed his years running CC—not necessarily running, but having a good time while keeping in shape. Dave recalls decorating the opposing teams’ buses with left-over doughnuts and shopping in Columbus after the state meet. (Especially at the sporting goods store!) “We didn’t always have fun...there was a lot of hard work and preparation for every meet...I really enjoyed being a part of the team.”CC Still County’s Best
At Ada High, Cross Country was another sport that remained successful. Under the direction of new coach. Ted Prueter, the team finished out the season with an 8-3 record. Among their accomplishments, the team repeated last year’s efforts by winning the Hardin County title. They gained second place in the NWC race, losing to Spencerville by five points, and again won second place in the Sectionals. In district. Ada failed to qualify for State, but junior, Neal Dombusch, “almost made it,” failing to qualify to run at State by one place. After losing many runners to basketball conditioning, these boys pulled through and made the cross country program a great asset to our school and town.

5Boys End Fine Season With NWC, Sectional Wins
Athletes who gave Ada more championships in basketball than ever before were a special part of the winter and early spring scenes at Ada High. Among these were the athletes on the boys’ varsity basketball team. Coach Fries quotes:
“The Boys Varsity Basketball Team had another fine year, losing only three games by a total of five points. The Bulldogs had an over-all record of 18-3 and were Northwest Conference Champs for the third straight year. They were rated number 1 by both the Lima News and the Brookville Star at the end of the regular season in their area ratings. In addition, the ’Dogs were rated tenth in the state in the final UPI poll. The Bulldogs also won the Sectional title with wins over Waynesfield and Spen-cerville but lost a very close game to New Bremen in the District tournaments.’’
At the winter sports banquet, honors went to the basketball teams. All of the Bulldog teams won championships or were runners-up in the league, including the seventh, eighth, ninth, boys JV and Varsity, and girls JV and Varsity. The boys varsity was awarded a trophy by the Brookv ille Star for its No. 1 rating. Since the team will be rebuilding next year after losing six seniors, Coach Fries commented: “...with a good summer’s work the ’Dogs should be stronger than ever ...Three years ago we had one starter back, Jeff Fries, and we made it to the Regionals...”

1) l-ee Hood, fourth year letterman. ‘is without a doubt one of the best players I have ever coached, helping us win three straight NWC championships Lee set a new career scoring record here at Ada High 11205 points). He was All NWC and All District 8 two years in a row. Lee received state recognition and played in the District 8 All-Star game. Probably the greatest individual honor Lee received was being selected by the coaches to play in the North-South Class A-AA All-Star game at Canton. This is one of the greatest individual honors a class A player can receive. Lee was Captain and Co-MVP for the team this year, sharing the MVP award with junior Doug Fries. Lee was also MVP his junior year...When it comes to basketball. Lee Hood has certainly made his mark." 2) Mark Reichert, third year letterman. “had a very fine career at Ada High School. Mark played regular on three straight NWC championship teams. Mark did a great job for us inside. He was honored when selected to play in the District 8 All-Star game ” 3) Tv Michael, first year letterman. “came back this year after missing last year. Ty played as a starter and as a backup guard. Ty did an outstanding job for us as a guard on both offense and defense.”
961) Mike Hall, two year letterman, “played as a backup post man and as a starter Mike had some very fine games and helped us enjoy another good year. Mike’s best game was against Spencerville when we won the NWC championship." 2) Gregg Ballard, first year letterman, “was a backup post man. Gregg came in off the bench and did a good job for us. Gregg improved a great deal the last two years after not playing his sophomore year." 3) Stan Parshall, second year letterman, “played as a starter and as a backup guard. While Stan missed out some by not playing his sophomore year, he came around a great deal this year. Stan had good speed and was a real competitor."Dream Comes

"The season was SUPER. We reached the pinnacle that every coach and team dreams of and works for—the Class “A" State Championship!!” says Sharon Pitts, coach of the 1978 Girls Class A State Champions Coach Pitts quotes on the highlights of the season:
“It was a well-earned trip to Columbus. These girls worked for four years to make this all possible. That is why winning the tournament was so special to us. It was a relaxing and fun-filled trip that we will always remember.. .1 think we had lots of fun, learned together, and achieved the ultimate...winning the 1978 Regional tournament by one point was a fantastic moment. At that point I KNEW we had achieved our goal—we were headed for Columbus and the state tournament. The greatest moment, though, had to be during the championship game at Columbus. With two minutes remaining. Lynne Coe rebounded a missed Buckeye Trail foul shot and threw a full court pass to Teri Stahl, who then scored and was fouled. I was extremely proud of this particular play and at that point knew that we were going to become No. 1 in the State of OHIO!...The example has been set Goals are achieved through hours and hours of work.

Lynn Stansloski ... Diane Conley“The Sound of Music” is an American movie classic which was chosen to represent the Music section.

It can sooth, enlighten, reveal, and even create our moods. The music here at A.H.S. is limited, but is still a way for students to express their feelings, and their talents.ADA HIGH

Although the good guys may not always be saints, and the bad guys may not always be sinners, without both, school life would definitely be dull and uninteresting.Class of 79
Do You Remember....
...When Patty Bowden got her bra frozen at Robin Lamb’s party.
... When Joyce Baier always tried to unhook all the girls’ bras in Gym class.
.. When the boys always called Elmer Inman “Elmer’s Glue.”
....When Debbie Rayl was holding Susan Dodge’s mittens, in the bathroom. Debbie told Susan to catch. When she threw one over the door, Susan missed and it landed in the toilet.
... When Kathi Zimmerly threw Brett Vottero’s ring in a mud puddle because she did not like him anymore.
...When Keith, Kyle, Randy, and Lane all got their heads shaved.
...When we played “Smash-em“ and David Woodruff was the unanimous choice for piling on.

And the wide open fields, And the silent streams.

And that alone can build The peace of the world,
The life that is Christ,
And the peace of the evening's ending,
And of the midnight,
Be with you now and forevermore."
