DISCOVERY OF ACADEMICS, Page 17 DISCOVERY OF LOYALTY, Page 71 1970 . . . the beginning of a new era for the Adams Central Schools. Faced with an increasingly technological world, we explored our own fields of knowledge while our astronauts explored the moon. We met chall enges and began looking for new ones. With our friends, we worked toward goals and learned more about ourselves. Learning, try¬ ing, having fun, getting involved--all these set the stage for DISCOVERY, 1970 DISCOVERY OF COMMITMENT, Page 49 " Coming ' round the bend, " Cindy Balsiger drives the prize-winning senior float.

Before the start of the A.C. -Carroll game, the fans be¬ came hushed as the ceremonies began. Each of the seven couples met at the goal post, walked to the 50-yard line and proceeded to the stage. The ex¬ citement came to a climax as Rosie Braun was crowned Queen by Paul Jesionowski. Homecoming Queen Mary Rose Braun receives the game ball from her escort, Paul Jesionowski. 6 Queen Rosie, King Paul Reign at Ceremonies Kris Mutschler was escorted by Barry Kolter.

Apparently there ' s something more interesting than studying going on around here. Any ideas, Cindy Hoffman? How romantic!

Finding joy in knowledge or sadness in the lack of it provides a reason to keep trying. With a new modular system and extra opportunities, we used our I.S. to explore ourselves and the world around us. Gaining unequaled experiences helped make 1970 a year for DISCOVERY OF KNOWLEDGE Size, Scope, Appeal The Adams Central Industrial Arts Department offers a variety of courses which range from Woodworking to Home Mechanics. This year the Graphic arts department is a new addition to the curriculum. The department has done practically all school printing. It is an extensive and highly complex department which includes photographic equipment and an offset printing press which each student learns to handle. In the building trades class students study the forms of architecture and make scale model of homes. Drafting students learn the fundamentals of mechanical drawing and drafting. Mrs. Stucky instructs Goldie Hill in laying out a pattern. Dan Funk uses the lathe in constructing a leg for his table. Lynn Roe and Phil Brodbeck work 18 of Central ' s Practical Arts Dep ' t Grow This year in Home Ec the freshmen studied nutrition and made basic break¬ fasts . They also made basic sewing projects. The sophomores studied home nursing, childcare, and luncheons. In sewing they made dresses. For the juniors teas and foreign foods occupied their class hours. They also studied in¬ terior decoration and more advanced sewing. The seniors studied budgeting, consumer buying, individual projects in sewing, and foods for two people. Each student in every, class was required to prepare a home project of some type. Carol Noll and Theresa Everett try their best to save Nancy Fiechter. cedar chest in shop. Sandy Neadstine shows off her homemaking abilities while cleaning the Home Ec room. 19 Juniors end the day by learning the causes of World War II in U. S. history. Social Studies Classes Study Past, Mr. Brown lectures to a history class in large group. One of the main reasons for taking social studies is to see life today in comparison with that of other times, in¬ cluding what has happened and what is to come. By dividing their time between small groups and large groups, stu¬ dents were able to get background ma¬ terial and then make it more relevant through discussions. Mr. Hilbert, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Smith combined to teach world history, U.S. history, government, psychology, sociology, and economics. 20 Souvenirs from her trip to Haiti are featured in Karen Fruchte ' s culture speech for sociology. Stop! Sandy Stucky tests Don Tinkham ' s reaction time in one of many psychology experiments. Evaluate Present, Look to Future The work never stops, does it, Mr. Smith? You could always quit giving grades, you know . . . 21 Last Minute Rushes To Get Assignments " My name is Sue! How do you do? " Tim Soldner ' s never going to live this one down. Aren ' t small groups great for messing around in? The freshmen think so. " Percy Bysche WHO? " Looks of amazement are seen as seniors stare at a lit test. 22 Are Typical of English Students With English classes meeting four times each week, twice for eighty min¬ utes and twice for forty, A.C. English students had their hands full this year. Mrs. Grove kept the seniors ' pencils moving as many could be seen hurriedly scribbling their final ink copy of some literature or comp assignment. Mr. Roth drilled the juniors in the lives of American authors and also led the speech class in a televised " Laugh-In” called " Chuckleberry A.C.H.S. " Guided by Mrs . Wilks, sophomores tried their hands at a term paper, and in the freshman class Miss Rimmel steered her pupils toward better English. " Got you! " Steve Bieberich and Scott Bas¬ sett act out a pantomime for English. The sign? Oh, yeah. " Mr. Roth ' s and Mrs. Grove ' s Sanitation Dep ' t TRUCK. " Chuckleberry had everything . . . Mrs. Garby lectures to a senior class on England. 23 Teaching correct pronunciation was an important function of the language lab. Foreign Languages Broaden Scope of Students Expanding vistas, widening points - of-view--these are reasons for studying foreign languages . Enabling A.C. stu¬ dents to learn about the cultures of Spain, Mexico, and France, Miss Wil¬ liamson and Mrs. Phipps combined classwork, lab exercises, and accounts of personal experiences while they taught. Becky Teeple " talks back " to the lab in her Spanish class. 24 Special Classes Introduce Future Work Exploratory teaching was for seniors who planned to become teachers. The main purpose of this program was to give the students some teaching experi¬ ence before entering college. During the first week of school, 26 starry-eyed students gazed at the con¬ glomerate mess in the electronics cen¬ ter . After they had learned to operate the equipment efficiently (six months and ten million mistakes later), they were taught the theory behind electron¬ ics. Teachers were Mr. Pat Nelson and Mr. Gene Chronister. Tom Stevens and Mr. Ransbottom go over the lesson plans for M.S. math. 25 L A.C. ' s Vocational Ag. and Mechanic Shop The agriculture department of A. C. H. S. had a very productive year. Ag students studied every thing from sheep to hogs, from chickens to soil. A Farm Management project took nearly two months to complete, covering nearly every phase of farming. A supplement to class work was the machine shop and vocational mechanics course. Paul Miller and Don Tinkham checking the spark on a tractor for ag. Mech. Mike Edgell and Arlen Herschy are working on Arlen ' s tractor. 26 I Art, Music Develop Talent, Creativeness Art is something almost everyone enjoys. A.C. ' s art department offered students a chance to learn to draw better and to develop ideas better. This sub¬ ject was enjoyed by those who made the signs and posters around school. Arts and crafts students expressed them¬ selves through leather, paints, and ceramics. The individual practice sessions of¬ fered music students a chance to better themselves as much as they wanted. Extra time was required as both the band and the choir participated in con¬ tests around the state. Co-op Is Reward for Seniors ' Efforts Through the many courses offered at A.C., students became aware of the business world around them . General business, taught by Mr. Hoffman, in¬ troduced the students to this world. Mr. Bryan instructed all in the techniques of bookkeeping. Many girls learned the art of becoming efficient secretaries through shorthand and secretarial train¬ ing, taught by Miss Benz. One-semester courses of business law and sales taught by Mr. Hoffman taught the laws and principles of the business world. Besides the regular typing courses, a new one-semester personal typing course was offered to college-bound students. Seniors who had completed the necessary work were eligible for C.O. E., in which they worked half-days in office jobs. Miss Benz ' s shorthand class isn ' t interested in anything but that tape. Barb Sheets concentrates on her bookkeeping, but Monica Jackson has found some¬ thing more interesting. 28 Jerry Double gets instructions from his C.O.E. super¬ intendent, Tom Wiseman of Decatur Industries. Going through the files at Duo was routine for Janet Riley. C.O.E. advisory board: (L-R) Mr. Allen, Mr. Henry Ford, Mr. Bryan, Mr. Schnepf, Mr. Norman Steury, Mr. Earl Caston. 29 tm Miss Beavers shows Dave Wilder the equation for a parabola. It ' s not the geometry that ' s confusing, it ' s the alphabet you used to think you knew! Well, um- I 11 tell you how I got my answer if you tell me how you came up with yours. " be so enlightening ... Algebra classes can 30 Scientific Minds Work on Class Problems " Math is directly proportional to the time I use for preparation and is in¬ versely proportional to the grade I re¬ ceive . " This is a statement made by a senior math student. Throughout the year students worked problems to earn the approval of Miss Beavers and Mr. Fallis. Many a scholar found that he didn ' t know as much as he thought he did. A.C. ' s math courses included general math, Algebra I and II, geom¬ etry, and senior math. The science classes, especially biology and zoology, made extensive use of the new audio- tutorial system, in which teachers taped most lessons and instructions. This enabled students to proceed at their own rate. Miss Williamson, Mr. Hindenlang, and Mr. Allspaw also taught chemistry, physics, and botany. Dave Fisher and Mark Childs use the ripple tank to study various wave forms, one of the problems in physics. Bob Grove attempts to dissect a frog in the biology lab. Cindy Baker: " My calculations are right, therefore the book must be wrong. " 31 Becky Sommer prepares to return a serve and help her side win in a hard-fought P.E. volleyball game. Physical, Mental Development Stressed Drivers ' Education students began their summer school course in 1970 a little more eagerly than students in other years, if that ' s possible, because they knew that their chances of getting licenses earlier were improved. The reason for this was the new law which stated that those who successfully passed a drivers ' ed. course no longer had to take a driving test before getting that piece of paper. What a relief! " Ugh! Don ' t tell me I really look like that, " was a typical response as health classes probed the workings of the body. 32 Challenge is everywhere. Finding challenge, meeting it, discovering our limitations and discovering our strengths, are all a part of living. In meeting trials every day, sometimes we win, sometimes we face defeat . . . Learning whether we can walk away with a smile, in victory or in defeat, is discovering ourselves, growing up. This was what made 1970 a year for the DISCOVERY OF CHALLENGE A.C.

" Six Jets Named All-Conference Stars; Kolter, Minnich Gain State Recognition This year football at Adams Central could be summed up in one word: VICTORY. Nothing could stop Coach Hilbert ' s Flying Jets as they fought their way up the ladder to the top, compiling a record of 9--0. Named to the All-Conference team were the following: Barry Kolter, offensive back; Paul Jesionowski, offensive lineman; Keith Rich, defensive lineman; Cecil Campbell and Steve Lyons, best defensive backs. Rick Minnich, A.C. ' s leading scorer, ranked second in ACAC scoring and was also named to the team. Kolter and Min¬ nich were honored further by being named to the All-State Honorable mention team. Practice sessions often made the real game seem easy--almost. 35 Allen Stoller receives some last-minute orders from Coach Hilbert before entering the Heritage game. Jim Haugk crosses the goal line as he scores against Chur- ubusco. While leading scorer Rick Minnich scores with inches to spare, Jim Haugk seems glued to the field. 36 Coach Hilbert presents the ACAC trophy to team captains at an all-school as¬ sembly.

NHS Entertains Honor Students in Spring " Scholarship, Character, Leadership, and Service " was the motto of the National Honor Society. Led by pres. Keith Rich, v.p. Larry Zurcher, and sec. -treas. Cheryll Martin, the organization consisted of eighteen seniors and twelve juniors. Nov. 17 proved to be the big day for the eighteen new members who were tagged. On April 27, the club sponsored its annual all-school party for honor roll students. Formal induction for the probationary mem¬ bers was held on May 5. NHS officers: Cheryll Martin, Miss Beavers, Keith Rich, Larry Zurcher. 50 Football Homecoming Initiated by Council STUDENT COUNCIL SEATED (L-R): Sherri Schrock--treasurer, Bob Morrison--vice-president, Tim Steury--pres- ident, Cheryl Byerly--secretary. STANDING: Mr. Hilbert, Mark Steury, Bill Stoller, Dean Leyse, Andy Miller, Dave Zoll, Dave Fisher, Beth Arnold, Karen Steury, Mrs. Stucky. Changing the election procedures for the Student Council meant choosing officers and representatives from-among four " political parties " in the spring. Those chosen to lead the group were Tim Steury, Bob Morrison, Cheryl Byerly, and Sherri Schrock. Once they were in office, mem¬ bers offered suggestions, based on stu¬ dents ' requests, to the administration throughout the year. Getting to work as soon as school started, the council spon¬ sored A. C. ' s first football Homecoming, featuring a parade, coronation ceremonies, and a dance. Another year-long task was to paint the Commons and keep it clean. Senior girls dance to the music of the " Fewdle Lords " at the Student Council-sponsored Homecom¬ ing dance. 51 JET JOURNAL STAFF, FRONT ROW (L-R): Mrs. Grove, Judy Gremaux, RoyaAnn Stucky, Cheryll Martin, Becky Yost, Debbie Hack, Karen Moeschberger, Dolores Heimann, Miss Benz.

Jet Journal Becomes Regular Bi-Weekly Junior girls order their ad for the sectional edition. " Buy your new Jet Journal here for only ten cents! " This cry could be heard quite distinctly in the halls every-other - Friday as the papers, which were print¬ ed in Decatur, went on sale. Writers for the paper were kept busy all the time as deadlines came every two weeks without fail, but those special eight-page edi¬ tions really made things hectic. In order to boost its funds, the Jet Journal staff sponsored the coat check at home bas¬ ketball games and hosted the Klem Kad- diddlehopper Klop (that ' s a dance) on March 6. Fall Delivery Means More Complete Coverage Adding sixteen pages and changing to a fall delivery enabled the annual staff to provide a more complete outlook on the school year. Staff members found that the work is not as easy as it looks when they attended some pretty hectic after-school and late-night sessions of writing copy, drawing layouts, and cropping pictures in their effort to meet oncoming deadlines. It is their hope that they have provided a book that will provide memories both now and years from today. Ass ' t Ed Gary Tullis, Mr. Shoup, Ed. Ruth Baker. DCEN-TRAILS STAFF, FRONT ROW (L-R): S.

Sec. 58 Sweetheart Banquet Held on Valentine ' s Day Trying to keep a secret all year long proved to be a harder task than it first seemed for many Sunshine girls as they at- temped to keep their Ideal Ladies guessing until the May 1 tea. After new members were inducted on Sept. 22, everybody pre¬ pared for a busy year. A Ma-Pa-and-Me Potluck on May 10 and Daddy Date Night on March 13 provided entertainment for parents. After an evening of carolling on Dec. 11, Sunshine girls returned to school for their Christmas party. Weeks of prep¬ aration proved worthwhile as the Sweet¬ heart Banquet was held on Valentine’s Day. The final activity for Sunshine this year was the Senior breakfast, which was held on May 22. The Sweetheart Banquet was held Feb. 14. 59 I Speech Club Presents ' Chuckleberry ACHS ' A. C. ' s Speech Club proved that there really is hidden talent around the halls of Adams Central, as members wrote and presented " Chuckleberry A. C. H. S. ”, a take-off on television’s Laugh-In. Sponsor¬ ing a dance after the Bryant game, mem¬ bers made enough money to sponsor a speech team. The team, in its first year at A.C., traveled to area schools to partici¬ pate in meets. Officers for the year were Sharon Kaehr, pres.; Paul Jesionowski, v.p.; Deb Nussbaum, sec.; and Dave Clark, treas. A.C. ' s busy speech team ignores Mr. Roth and takes a well-deserved break.

Under the direction of Miss William¬ son, Spanish Club members sold Christ¬ mas candy, candles, and other items during November. They celebrated Christmas by using the profits to pay for the Spanish-French Club Christmas party on Dec. 11. Led by pres. Dave Smith, the club members sponsored a dance after the Norwell game.

Although they may never hit the big time, French Club dancers gave it a good try at their first (and last) appearance on Dec. 11. In the words of French Club sponsor Mrs. Phipps, the club ' s Homecoming float was " a disaster. " The problem? Its only support was a bicycle wheel, so it broke. They had better luck the rest of the year, though. If the club was known for one thing, it would have to be for those seven little can-can dancers at the Christmas party. Spring brought with it a car wipe and a bake sale to pay for the big project—the French dinner at Johnell’s, the most exclusive restau¬ rant in Fort Wayne, was held on May 5. 63 PEP CLUB: KNEELING: J.

F. Allen, Super¬ intendent of Schools, and the Adams Cen¬ tral School Board showed that even the hardest of tasks could be completed. After overseeing the entire building program, they began setting up the new flexible scheduling in order to make the most of the available facilities. Along with the other administrative personnel, Mr. Allen and the School Board made sure that the school year went as smoothly as possible in the midst of the confusion which comes with something new and different.

Parents’ Night for college- bound students was held in November. Most clubs honored their senior mem¬ bers at parties in the spring before the class took their trip on May 15. They returned only to go to the Prom the next night.

Stepping into a new realm of pres¬ tige, the class of ' 71 captured the hon¬ ors of designing a winning Thanksgiving basket, most perfectly disguising a hall at sectional time, and setting a record in magazine sales. Enroute to their diplomas, juniors took control of con¬ cessions and sponsored a skating party, using the profits for the Prom on May 16. The luckier students escaped the daily shuttle of the big yellow wagon by obtaining their own sets of keys. The more studious juniors attempted to un¬ ravel the mysterious SAT tests, prob¬ ably regretting having napped through certain key history lectures or having remembered more of Mr. Roth ' s jokes than his grammar.

Led by president Joy Arnold, vice-pres. Jim Bowers, sec. Steve Rich, and treas. Mike Lyons, they sponsored a dance on December 20 after the A. C. -Bellmont game. The class took second place in both mag¬ azine sales and sectional decorations. By examining their NEDT results and other factors, members of the class of ’72 were able to start making tentative future plans. Ordering class rings in the spring made each sophomore realize that high school days are already half over for them. Class officers--SEATED: Jim Bowers, Joy Arnold. STANDING: Steve Rich, Mike Lyons.

The 117 freshmen elected class officers in the fall, choos¬ ing Dave Jesionowski as president. Other officers were Becky Braden, vice- president; Ron Gremaux, secretary; and Janet Workinger, treasurer. October brought a hayride for the class before the winter and spring months provided social activities in ball games, dances, and parties. The class skating party was held April 13. The freshmen found themselves wait¬ ing for June when they would no longer be " green little frosh.
