There are trials and tribulations, tears and sweat, but along with these are the happy memories. Who will ever forget the fright they had as freshmen? Or how can you forget how proud, and yet scared you felt as you marched to Pomp and Circumstance? HAPPINESS IS the memories of your first hayride, formal prom, or first real date. In these halls of Alder we have all grown into adults, and we have found HAPPINESS in doing so. In this volume we have tried to capture a little of the HAP- PINESS which we shared here at Alder, and thru this book you win find that HAPPINESS IS ALDER, the year 1967-68. m wsmmsrn %mmmz U d iclaf Shi( iv Page 90 Ads Page 106 3 Deiicoitow ■ The 1968 Yearbook Staff wishes to dedicate this year’s POWDER HORN to Mr. James Adams. For 13 years Mr. Adams has worked in the Vocational Agricultural Department here at Jonathan Alder. He has worked tirelessly with FFA and often his unselfish efforts have gone unnoticed. Because of his giving of himself and his close association with these boys, he has helped to influence many of their lives. Mr. Adams has proved himself to be a devoted teacher and friend. It is with deep appreciation that we dedicate the 1968 POWDER HORN to you, Mr. Adams. 4 'Vapptom f$” 'riifi' i uu T aM On returning to Alder we discover that HAPPINESS IS” all around us. It is in the heart of every student as he journeys through the halls. HAPPINESS IS” contagious, and because of this, it can be passed from student to stu- dent in a warm smile or friendly greeting. HAPPINESS IS” knowing that after four years of growing and maturing you will finally be prepared to enter the adult world to meet and challenge problems as they arise. HAPPINESS IS” found in the hush of asnowfall upon Alder. HAPPINESS IS” reflected here in every student’s face as he cries out for Victory, Victory, and more Victory! 5 f-fdjDpatess fs B utg SttuW And as Alder students we find HAPPINESS can be found in simple things, such as the HAPPINESS of: finally being first in the lunch line an organized school Christmas — alccg ■ii t i i B- rnTl’nririrmnunntinr School spirit, know-how, organization, and leadership is contributed to Jonathan Alder by the seniors. Because of this HAPPINESS IS The Senior Class of 1968. 'VappiM s Is BeUig k PtORGGA A school builds spirit through its sports, and Jonathan Alder is no exception to the rule. Every true PIONEER fan by either par- ticipating in, or yelling their lungs out for a PIONEER VICTORY finds HAPPINESS IS —found on Alder's benches. —being a representative to the state meet at St. Johns Arena. ---displaying your school spirit with a team booster badge. ---knowing your team has the ball. HCtpbiM S f$ 'V ppium Is” Reffected lw. —A brisk night with the lights shining on the field as a hush comes over the spectators and the first strands of the Star- Spangled Banner float through the air. THE SOUND OF MUSIC whether it be out on the football field or in the auditorium at Christmas time. —The cheerleaders leading the team onto the field to the music of the fight song. —A silent auditorium filled with voices singing The Messiah. —The crowning of a queen. Alder wouldn’t be Alder without its extra-curricular ac- tivities. These help to round out a student and teaches him to work with others. Through our activities we find HAPPINESS IS is” being tapped into the National Honor Society. —The Homecoming Court in all its splendor, 12 — for the Yearbook Staff Happi- ness was meeting the deadlines. (This seldom happened.) —for Quill and Scroll members finally seeing your article in print. (This usually happens after much revision.) 13 Contrary to popu- lar student opinion, classes can be fun. We learn from our teachers and from each other. Through our classroom work we find HAPPINESS IS : —having hair so long that it touches the floor (when you're standing on your hands in phy. ed.). Wappfotess f$” Ciosses putting up signs which have been made in art class that declare HAPPI- NESS IS ---seeing the light in chemistry. —getting WCOL on your Spanish earphones without the teacher knowing it. —delivering your speech without fainting once. —having your very own star- fish in Biology. ( O. K. Peggy, you take one leg and I'll take four. ) - . - R4CUCJV Behind each lesson learned, each profiting ex- perience and each successful school year stands a teacher. The faculty is instrumental not only in conducting classes but in advising organizations, and helping with extracurricular activities. Together, they build the backbone for success at Alder. HUGH ROBY £dujOCttiO v Matters of public education are very ably performed by five elected representatives of the community. These men of ability give freely of their time to insure an educational pro- gram which meets the needs of the children of the Jonathan Alder Local School District. Their decisions on school affairs are guided by a desire to do that which benefits the greatest number of students. lhit ii unm W'rrr nrDSMI j ‘ ; r ’if TT 1 i.

A. - Otterbein College Graduate work at Northwestern University M.A. - Ohio State University Mr. Robinson, the executive head of our school, shoulders a great deal of responsibility. He coordin- ates the activities of students, teachers, and parents for the entire Jonathan Alder School District. To successfully carry out this job it takes time, patience, and much hard work. Mr. Robinson is aided in his job by his sense of humor and his patient ways. Mr. Robinson is caught helping mow the grass. In addition to his hobbies of mow- ing the lawn and gardening, he likes to fish and walk up and down the greens playing golf. Is” A Mr. Oxley checks Jack Trents' work as he begins apply- ing skills of tracing. Mrs. Cary, our guidance counselor, is also a friend to all students here at Alder. Pupils become aware of her warm person- ality as she begins counseling them at the elementary centers and continues to help through the high school years. She gives advice and assistance in helping a student find the vocation just right for him and opens new doors for a college education or a better job. GORDON E. OXLEY, B.S. Principal Mr. Oxley is our principal, teacher, and student council advisor. As a principal it is his responsibility to promote a greater under- standing between the students and faculty. In times of excitement or stress he remains calm and patient; no matter how small the problem he always has time to listen and to help. He has at heart the welfare of each student and teacher in our school. 20 DORIS CARY, M. A. Guidance Counselor Fruity INDUSTRIAL ARTS A power mechanics lab was begun in in- dustrial arts this year. The lab will help further the boys’ education in the-use of power tools. Also added to the department this year were ten new benches. VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE Classes in agriculture proved themselves very active this year. They visited the of- ficer’s training and soil judging in Westfall; State Convention and State Livestock Judg- ing Contest in Columbus and two parliamen- tary procedure contests. Along with these field trips the vo-ag boys managed to add a new grinder to the departments list of farm equipment. Beginning art students try their hand at paper mache. The char- acter developed into a beautiful angel dec- oration for the Christ- mas Prom. ART Art offered many experimentative ways for creativity this year. Water color, char- coal drawings, and paper mache productions were a few of the projects art students under- went. The students also volunteered their talent to working on decorations for the Y-Teen Christmas Prom. All of the Hap- piness Is signs and imaginatively decorated bulletin boards seen around school this year were done by the art classes. k GLENN JACOBSON Industrial Arts JOHN COOKE, B. A.

Physical Education Baseball, Basketball MATH This year's math students found themselves hard at work in keeping up with the ever-changing modern math. Bulletin boards were fes- tooned with optical illusions, the study of topology, and puzzles of who was this mathematician. Juniors were busily learning the techniques of the slide rule and logarithms, while seniors discovered the unit circle. A new overhead projector was added to the depart- ment and sophomores put this to good use in their study of geometry. BOE juniors practice skills on machines, thus always getting correct balances in bookkeeping. BUSINESS AND OFFICE EDUCATION Outstanding progress was made in Shorthand I as most of the girls had passed their 60 word test by February. The business English Seniors made carbons of their term papers on different voca- tions to be put on file for use in the future. Seniors in BOE visited the Data Processing center in Grove City and juniors visited the court in London. Machines added to the department were two 10-key adding machines, three dictating- transcribing machines, a spirit duplicator, and a paper trimmer. 22 DOROTHY SAYRE, A. B.

SCIENCE If room 17 smelled like a zoo it was only because this year in biology each student kept a small ani- mal as a project. Other projects were the dissecting of different specimens and the use of the overhead projector with transparencies. In chemistry class, juniors and seniors discovered the effects acids have on metals. Sound was an interesting topic for dis- cussion in physics. The freshmen went to the annual Soil Conservation field trip to London. SOCIAL STUDIES Social Studies proved to be more interesting this year with a little ingenuity on the teacher's part. Bingo was brought into the classroom to help geog- raphy students learn their capitals and countries. Another project was cards with the names of the 38 presidents and what they did while in office. Stu- dents were then required to know all the presidents in their correct order. In geography, the reading of longitude and latitude was brought to light. Seniors in P.O.D. found themselves writing a paper about their philosophy of life. JOYCE VAN FOSSEN, B.S. Social Studies Y-Teen Advisor Con. Economics LINDA JUILLERAT, B.S.

Fifty percent of the senior English students write for Quill and Scroll or the school newspaper. Two senior assign- ments for this year were writing vocational term papers and studying Macbeth. For outside assign- ment the seniors went to see Romeo and Juliet which was put on at O. S. U. 's theater. Junior English had several discussion periods on timely subjects. SPANISH A foreign language is required for college prepar- atory students, and at Alder that language is Spanish. At Christmas time the Spanish class was turned into the country of Spain and students had a fiesta with a pinata. Mike Loker practices skills of reading poetry aloud in speech class.

This was proven by the home ec teachers when two of them, Miss Smith and Miss May, became Mrs. Plante and Mrs. Clark. This year the department went on field trips to Columbus to visit the Lazarus home department and to the Super Duper to learn how to choose cuts of meat and how to cut meat. The girls also put on a style show and modeled clothing which they had made. The home ec department received two new sewing machines. One of the new sewing machines received this yeat. Food preparation, a most impor- tant skill of future homemakers, is practiced by sophomore girls. 25 Is” A MARCELLA MEYER, M. A. Physical Education GAA Advisor Cheerleader Advisor RAY WILLOUGHBY, B.

Vocal Music PHYSICAL EDUCATION Physical education provides a break from a day's normal routine. It helps to make a sound body, as well as a sound mind. A few of the activities that went on in these classes this year were, the shuttle run, standing broad jump, basketball, kickball, field hockey and rugged exercises. These are just to mention a few. Students in phy ed also participated in the Pres- ident's physical fitness program. MUSIC One program which is enjoyed by all at Alder is music--whether it be playing an in- strument in the band or singing in mixed chorus. This year the chorus sang for the Christmas program, the music parent's banquet, the Easter assembly, graduation and the Madison County Music festival. The band was kept active by playing at the music parent's banquet, the Madison County Music Festival and marching in several in and out-of-town parades. Mixed ensemble is made up of upperclassmen who give of their free time showing a more than average talent in music. 26 ALDER BUS DRIVERS--Robert Bishoff, Lloyd Roby, Doris Roby, Beulah Lombard, Opal Hennis, Anna Mae Toops, Dale Roberts, Vernon Yutzy. Absent when picture was taken Lee Lindig. Alder's bus drivers are capable and well-liked. They drive a total of approximately 500 miles a day and haul 420 high school students. Some drivers have as much as 20 years experience. One thing for sure--without our bus drivers we wouldn't get anywhere. CLO SMITH MARTHA CONVERSE DORIS WEEKS RAY GIBSON ROSA KUHNT ESTEL SPARKS SECRETARIES--Alder would never run as smoothly as it does without Mrs. Converse and Mrs. Smith. They produce memos, keep club treasury money, collect lunch money, and keep the high school office in perfect operating condition. COOKS--Mrs. Weeks and Mrs. Kuhnt are two pop- ular people around Alder. As school cooks they serve approximately 225 lunches a day to hungry students. They also help out at other school func- tions like banquets and proms. CUSTODIANS--Mr. Sparks and Mr. Gibson help see our school is kept clean and in running order. We also sppreciate the help they give us each year at junior-senior prom time. 27 ACnvmes Students gain many experiences by participating in the various activities at Alder. Those who have known what it is like to be an officer, prepare an assignment for Quill and Scroll, sing with 97 others, or work on the newspaper realize that education not only means algebra, chemistry, P.O.D., and history but Quill and Scroll, National Honor Society, Y-Teens ... In order to make this year's yearbook the best ever the staff canvassed the towns selling ads, and attended a work shop held at Holiday Inn to learn the do's and don'ts of a good yearbook. On the light side they took a trip to Miles drive-in to see Blackbeard's Ghost and then to Beverley for a midnight snack. The 1968 yearbook staff was: Editor, Charlie Stenner; copy editor, Susan George; subscription editor, Stevi Walter; typist, Carol Williams; sports editor, Todd Wurschmidt; photographer, Jeff Woods and assistant editor, Dretha Phillips. We WM? Mrs. Sayre, yearbook advisor, helps with the many decisions that a staff must make when put- ting a yearbook together. 30 At the Holiday Inn in Springfield, the yearbook staff learned about the fundamentals of the book.

At Friday night's Homecoming game the attendants were presented as they rode onto the field in con- vertibles. Saturday night attendants and escorts were pre- sented in formals at a dance held in their honor. The student body elected their Homecoming Court. The 1968 Homecoming Queen was Dee Dee Rice. Her court was as follows: Senior representatives--Susan George, Roger Vowell; Juniors--Suzanne Youmans, Ron McClary; Sopho- mores--Darlene Fulk, Jim Snyder; Freshmen--Beth Walter, Jerry Troyer. Dee Dee Rice, our 1968 Homecoming Queen, trans- ferred here from West Jeff in her junior year. This year Dee Dee has been a member of Y-Teens, senior class play, a student librarian, and secretary of student council. Dee Dee was chosen for her friendly and fun-loving personality. 49 Mom COhum} fitfaivAjOiinfe SENIOR--Susan George. Susan is in Y-Teens, National Honor Society, class play.

One of the funniest scenes in the play was when Simon Stimpson (Chuck) appeared as the town drunkard. OUR TOWN Junior Class Play - 1967 The dramatic presentation of Our Town held the audiences spellbound. Because there was very little scenery, each individual was called upon to use his imagination in order to realize the signifi- cance of the major scenes. The versatility of the actors was shown by the fact that they played the comical scenes as convincingly as the dramatic ones. Who can forget the time Don's pipe broke or the way Chuck stumbled on stage? The dramatic, the comical and the accidental combined to make the play a totally entertaining success. Imagination played an important part in the junior play, as shown here in the funeral scene. ' oth DkumO ArcL QatiAJb Jack Maynard as Tully Bascom played a very convincing lead part. Only Wayne Church, Richard Madry, Chuck David- son, Jim Lockwood and Ken Bowers could succeed in capturing New York City with bows and arrows. THE MOUSE THAT ROARED Senior Class Play - 1968 The play was filled with action - Benton and Mountjoy argued about their wine, Kokintz invented the Q-bomb and Gloriana and Tully fell in love. In .spite of Arnett Howard's sandwich, the door that slammed too soon, and the heroic men of Fenwick, the little Duchy conquered America and the play provided an evening of enjoyment for all who attended.

Here comes the judge ... ! 55 —Ill'Ll — Alder's Pioneers completed a successful sea- son with an outstanding 7-2 record and ranked second in the Darby Valley League. After a long hard summer workout the Pioneers sustained a heartbreaking 17-12 defeat at the hands of arch-rival Mechanicsburg. The team bounced back to defeat Madison South and West Liberty Salem before losing their next game to Cedar- ville. The Pioneers galloped through the re- mainder of the season with little trouble and concluded the year with a five game winning streak. Homecoming highlighted this year's football season with a Fall Fantasy. That night the team was spurred on to a decisive victory over Buckeye Local. All in all, PIONEER fans were pleased with the performance of the football team. flM u yckfaM Rj cW ofr 1 $ FIRST ROW: Rodney Russell, Andy Hornbeck, Chris Wurschmidt, Mike McCoy, Howard Kaiser, Tom Straley, Rod Anderson, Jim Reed, Jerry Troyer, Steve Depp. SECOND ROW: Coach Dayo, Jim Ebright.

CHote (jO W ierffois The Pioneer wrestlers had a disappointing season as far as record goes as they ended with 2 wins and 8 losses. This was due mainly to the fact that sev- eral wrestlers had trouble making weight and there fore the team had to forfeit these weight classes. However, they did have some fine individual efforts on the part of several boys. Alder sent six partic- ipants to the District meet and two wrestlers, Ralph Smucker and Roger Vowell, through hard work and much sweat were representatives to the State meet. The team was much encouraged this year as there was more spectator participation. Interest in wres- tling is rapidly growing among students and this year's team did much to promote wrestling as a spectator sport at Alder. Ralph Smucker scores a takedown in the State meet.

Individual effort as well as team effort resulted in a perfect record at home. Alder was also represented in the State meet as Chuck Reed and Ralph Martin battled their way through meet after meet to realize every track star's ultimate goal. Chuck Reed and Ralph Martin participated in the state meet. Chuck Reed now holds the school's 440 record at 51. 6 seconds. Ralph Martin qualified in three separate state meet events, placing fourth in the 220 yard dash and fifth in the 100 yard dash. The other senior members of the team were Roger Vowell, David Mitchell, and Jim Ebright. David Mitchell highlighted his high school track career by setting a new two-mile school record. FRONT ROW: J.

Not as successful as they had wished, the team finished with a 4-13 record.

The Salutatorian, Charlie Stenner, made everyone thoughtful on his delivery of Where Do We Go From Here? A WEEK OF REMEMBRANCE The week of graduation was a busy one for the graduating seniors. It began with preparation for the Baccalaureate and graduation ceremonies. All week long they marched to the sounds of oner-two, one- two, one-two. Maybe the seniors weren't the fastest class to catch on but when the big night came they were ready. May 26 started the week with Baccalaureate and this was the night the lights chose to go off in the middle of Mr. Vance's speech, but they immediately came back on. When the long-looked-forward-to night of June 4 came, it brought with it high temperatures and so many people that the overflow had to be seated in the auditorium. Perhaps graduation night was hot and close, but it was a night of remembrance and for the seniors it was a paradox of joy and tears.

Memories we shall always cherish no matter where our paths may lead us. For the freshmen they will no longer be looked down upon as the children of the school. The sophomores will advance on to junior-hood where they will learn to run many organizations. Next year is the year-of-years for the juniors for they advance to the limelight of seniorization. Next year will be the year they shall learn the responsibilities and privileges they share as seniors. As for the 1968 seniors, they will go out into the world to take their places as adults. Many will perhaps never see their classmates again for their chosen future will take them to many different crossroads. But no matter where their paths may lead them, they will always treasure their high school memories; the joys, the pain, the tears, and the laughter which made their growing-up period, their time of learning. The yearbook staff has tried to capture in this book a visual storybook of the HAPPINESS of the school year 1968. As your staff, we have tried to record all the memories we feel you will want to share with others and always keep as your storybook of lonathan Alder We, the staff, have found HAPPINESS in putting together this yearbook and sincerely hope you will find that HAPPINESS IS the 1968 Powder Horn. 136
