THE 1972 PO WDERHORN JONATHAN ALDER HIGH SCHOOL PLAIN CITY, OHIO VOLUME XVI TO: ALDER STUDENTS AND STAFF FROM: YEARBOOK STAFF DATE: 1971-72 SUBJECT: NEW AND IMPROVED YEARBOOK Problems, problems, problems - each year one of the first and hardest chal- lenges facing the yearbook staff is that of organization. Full of brilliant ideas, the staff considered three plans. 1. A book consisting of one page picturing the staff. 2. A new type of book, one that covered the school year as one school day. 3. A regular book cut up into neat sections. The staff chose to do number 2 - the new type of book. The '72 POWDERHORN is a candid collection of photos of Alder students beginning from that bus or car ride to school in the morning to the very last night-time school activity. These candid photos make up the first two thirds of the yearbook. The last part of the book has all of the formal pictures grouped together. We think we have covered as nearly as possible our impressions of ONE FULL DAY OF SCHOOL LIFE AT JONATHAN ALDER Begging is well within the limits if you're a Y-teen slave.

Four years at Alder enables a student to be comfortable anywhere. ' ALDER’S THE PLACE Impressions, ideas, little things that you remember. That's what makes high school days, especially those at Alder, so valuable to all of us. Much of four major years in our lives are made up of the daily routine - get- ting up, catching a ride to school, and wait- ing for the bells of freedom. 5 WEBSTER’S SAYS - Enthusiasm and involvement- The rafters often shook through the combined efforts of the new pep part of Alder's school spirit. club. 6 I 1 Alder’s halls echo with sound, even when they're empty. im.pres'sion, n. 1.

A single blaring scream often stood out during those earth-shaking band yells at football games. What’s the teachers’ battle cry? 7 DO YOU REMEMBER? Teachers often get carried away with their movie star personalities • T ft� rir ’ - Anyone Knows that winning is easier than losing New yearbooks are as exciting as toys on a snowy Christmas morning. That true feeling of accomplishment is often found at Alder. Brenda's mind may be on boys tests, or money, but it’s not on lunch. Each day at Alder leaves its students and faculty with unique memories. Thrilling victories and heart breaking defeats are the foundation of sports. Minds that float miles away or intensly concentrate on books fill the study halls. The joys of being an excited freshman or a sophisticated senior vary greatly. Lunches are often sneered at but always prove to be edible. Yes, its these games, classes, teachers, - in general the entire days at Alder, that make it an overflowing world of impressions. it Rumor has custom. that Y-teens is a native jungle WHEN THE SUN The early morning ride to school was often monotonous. Did you know that some students spend 270 hours riding to and from school? The last stretch to the bus was usually the hardest. HOTEL motetur� 10 THE VARIETY OF ROUTINE fZ � '� . Fred Rogers finds the ride to school on his cycle very refreshing.

Time out for a locker clean-up The Pioneer Press has it's first printing and students are anxious to peek inside. HOMEROOM. What? A test today! Late to bed and late to rise, makes sleeping in homeroom no surprise. Homework, last-minute themes, and cramming for tests are all part of those few minutes of the day spent in homeroom. Yawns and snatches of sleep will always plague teacher attempts in taking attend- ance. These wild scrambling scurriers and sleepy-eyed snoozers mark the start of a day. Homeroom provides Brenda with those last precious seconds for finish- ing her homework. THE WORK BEGINS More papers to grade. Getting ready for the next class. A teacher's guiding hand can make everything fit into place. IN MORNING CLASSES Proper lighting is a necessary element in micro- Everyone needs a mid-morning break, scopic work. New visual aid techniques make learning and teaching easier than ever. 17 SUPER SECRETARIES OF 72 Lookout Columbus! Too bad we don't all have a helping hand! Gary is plannings men's lib eration movement. HOMEMAKING IS A WHOLE NEW SUBJECT The sewing machine must be out of order (or unpluged)! Education constantly broadens it reaches at Alder. In the home economics department a nursery sponsored for children and a diaper changing lecturer were two of the additions to this year’s curriculum. Alder's members of the Ohio Office Education Association went to Columbus to represent the school at the state convention. Gains in knowledte and a lot of fun blended smoothly to make the trip a well worthwhile one. 19 LAND OF OUR LANGUAGE Senior essays can be awfully trying. Discussions at the end of the period may cover any subject under the sun. Oh, who took the hall pass? MECHANICAL DRAWING, AND INDUSTRIAL ARTS EDUCATE HANDS AT ALDER BUSINESS, MECHANICS CLASS, Making posters can be fun and profitable. ARTISTS ABOUND AT ALDER Chalk is one of the many tools that art students learn to use. Mr. Cooke has an artful manner of smoothing out those rough spots. LISTED UNDER “C” ARE COLLEGE MATH AND CIVICS College math students were never really sure who that masked teacher was. Civics seem to be a popular class. You heard the story about the chick and seven dwarfs? Well, we've improved it for you. Has Snowy White met her match? Each year student council provides a bit of entertainment for the enjoyment of the school. But this is far from being all that they do. This year’s group, brought in the musical group, The Light Company, held an exciting Christmas party, and built a beautiful homecoming bonfire. All of this was accomplished while they worked to solve school prob- le ms. The speech class receive a laugh a minute for their production of SNOWY WHITE, The modern version of an old fairy tale was a real funfor-all. Pre-show instructions are given Greg and Pam. STUDENT COUNCIL AND SPEECH ASSEMBLIES PROVIDE ENTER TAINMENT 9 « j • • woo iXi What did you say i STUDENTS FILL THE LIBRARY Most books are checked out with student librarians. Two heads are better than one. 27 HI-Y AND Y-TEENS CO-OPERATE The Y-Teen club has the largest membership role of any club within the school. When they put their heads together with the Hi-Y boys, things begin to happen. Together the groups promote a hayride in the fall and the annual spring pic- nic. The large number of girls in Y-teens enable the club to carry out many individual pro- jects. Christmas sees them caroling, sending fruit baskets to needy families, and sponsor- ing a prom. To help the Thanksgiving Spirit, the girls put on a play, and at Easter they hide eggs for youngsters in the area. In finishing their busy year, the club tries to up their mem- bership by having a party for the eighth grade girls. Earning enough money for their prom is a major goal of Y-teens One good deed done by members of the Hi-Y is to pick up papers after home football games. 28 Did you hear the one about the farmer's daughter and the traveling salesman? Even future homemakers have trouble planning meetings. F.F.A., F.H.A., AND F.T.A. ALL PLAN FOR THE FUTURE Farmers of the future are more prepared than ever because of classes like these. 29 N.H.S. TRIES SOMETHING NEW May I have your attention please? Another student has just been accepted into the N.H.S. Members of the National Honor Society are chosen by the faculty on a basis of grades, per- sonality, and leadership. To be a member of this small group is one of Alder's highest honors. In the past, a special assembly was held for the purpose of inducting new members. This year, however, a new method was used. One entire school day was devoted to the tapping of members while classes carried on. Throughout the day old members of the N.H.S. roamed the halls in search of a candidate. The accepted person was tapped and then taken to the office where his name was read over the publis address system. Later, as a finale, both old and new members enjoyed a formal dinner together. Fred doesn't really have a magic wand. It's the honor rod used to tap members. A WARDS DA Y FOR J.A. Typing awards kept Mrs. Sayre's'hands full. D.V.L. track honors were presented by Coach Lucas. Award winners imitated mountain goats as they climbed up and down the bleachers. IT’S LUNCHTIME — EATING At Alder, you get change back from your dollar. can't believe 1 ate the whole thing! 32 Some people won't stop studying for anything. JR DIETING? Lunchtime brings out the human side of teachers In a rural area such as the one where Jonathan Alder is located, lunchtime is a special time and sometimes the only time, to talk to friends. This period of the day is used for eating, studying , playing around, discussing the big date coming up this week- end, or maybe from a teachers side, that trouble- some student who disrupts class. No matter what the situation may be, it is definitely one favorite time of day. It's amazing what milk can do for a person. 33 The halls of Alder have much to offer. Planning strategy for the big game, watching girls go by, social- izing with friends . . . even that special guy or girl . . . are all a part of going to school. Whether it be strategy, girls-watching, or ro- mance the halls of Alder leave im- pressions never to be forgotten. Sitting on the register, watching all the girl's go by is a favorite pas- time. 34 HALLS ARE FOR MORE THAN WALKING At noon, halls provide a place for meeting that special someone. You shouldn't have done that Tad! Memories of Alder's halls seem to be neverending. I he Powder Horn aroused interest in teachers during their lunch ho Happenings which appear to be minor are often big events here at Alder. Everyone rushes into line upon the arrival of the POWDER HORN. Teachers leaf through, remembering events of the past. Students are interested in seeing snapshots of themselves and their friends. Freshmen show enthusiasm, preparing themselves for the day when they, too will be a part of the POWDER HORN. Yes, when the yearbook arrives, fond memories of yesterday follow and the events of tomorrow are dreamed of. $0 Bud seems to be looking for his pic- ture somewhere . . . « These boys set aside their lunch in order to take a close look. 36 THE DA Y THE YEARBOOKS CAME i certainly I This portrays the yearbook staff’s first honest day of work, but not the last. Freshmen girls express oohs and aahs, dreaming of the high school days ahead. Mrs. Lendavic gazes fondly at pic- tures from the past year. 37 NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE, One of the many benefits of being a Home-Eco- nomics-student. Getting away from it all, Mr. Banyots enjoys lunch in his own room. 38 While most students were eating at noon, others found time to work on various pro- jects. Senior students were busy with the magazine and jewelry sale while underclass- men ordered and received rings. MONEY AT LUNCH GOES Sophomores find satisfaction in ordering classrings. Happy juniors receive their ri rings. i ne enu ot tne year approaches and seniors look for- ward to sending out invitations.

Dialogues sound pretty funny when students don't know what they are saying. A SPEECH FOR EVERY OCCASION Our new and improved stuff whitens, brightens, and all that. Stuarts comical matter brought out the fun in speech classes. Due to technical difficulties, Tad is trying to fix the video tape. 49 ONE ROOM — WORLD General Math I can be as trying as the toughest Algebra problems in college. The correct numbers are very elusive at times. Mr. Lucas is getting down to business math today. 50 JF NUMBERS v I Geometry students learn the shape of things. Come on now Keith, slide rules may be fun, but is Algebra II that funny! THE BIG BAND SOUND AT ALDER Reading music keeps eyes from roaming in band. Steve's tired trombone lips get a break. Someone has to listen. 52 THE YEARBOOK STAFF WRITES ON With an editor like this, what can you expect? The first job in the yearbook room was to complete an ad section. One advantage co being on the staff is getting to see pictures first. Merry Christmas Mrs. Sayre from the staff. A NON-PROFIT SCHOOL NEWSPAPER A lot of fun and laughs fill Quill and Scroll initia- tion day. Old articles are often helpful in writing new ones. Mrs. George reads the latest Pioneer Press issue from advisor's point of view. Helpful students find the privacy of room 2 good for tutoring. ROOM 2 IS A VERY BUSY PLACE Room 2 is a workroom for students and teachers alike. EXTRA TIME IS RARE BUT EASILY USED Colorful buna,i„ board, convoy mcsaagca ,hrough. Always trying to improve, basketball players ana- lyze previous games. Its amazing how hard it can be to find a book in a locker. Did you say room 2 or 22? Every forty-two minutes the halls fill with wild rushes of students. HALLS MAY CONTAIN FROM ONE TO FOUR HUNDRED STUDENTS Class changes are a good time to catch up on the latest gossip. 57 SPARE TIME IS CALLED A STUDY HALL 58 Studying with a friend can be effective. Imaginations often soar endlessly in a study hall Tests next period are often .' recast by intensive cramming. Spirit signs sound off, no matter how quiet the surroundings. Teachers need time to catch up on their homework too! PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT As beginners, first we must learn asdf jkl;. Concentrated effort leads to high speeds in tran- scription. Debby came in handy for dictation when Mrs. Reiser lost her voice. 60 Patty points out the location of the battle between the states. KEEPING BUSY SEEMS TO MAKE THE LONG AFTERNOON PASS. What's so funny about POD? Doodling takes the monotony out of class. STUDENTS SING OUT Brenda seriously contemplates that next high note. Hold it a little longer now. Maybe if 1 can get behind that sheet of music I can chew gum. Senior chorus members practice for graduation. 62 ALDER WISHES YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS Although the entire school en- joys the annual Christmas party, few people realize that it is sponsored by student council. These students use their personal time to plan and work on the gaiety. Special credit is due, for each year the party seems to be a bigger success. Numerous classes study new subjects during the joyful time of year. Christmas in here! Must be the Christmas spirit. CHRISTMAS - ALDER STYLE Look out below! Pies! Juicy, yummy, messy, cherry pies! Follow through - an important part of baloon tossing. 1 The Stuart Depp Singers won fifteen bonus points by opening the show with a humerous sour note. Alder’s answer to the pro golf tour. Teams played for points during three minute periods of mass confusion. Refreshments in the cafeteria were as good as an oasis in the desert. 'Pony? Yes, either a pony or a pay raise. I’d like a new pair of basketball shoes, a doughnut and coffee. HO! HO! HO! I want a football and astroturf. Christmas without Santa is like Easter without a bunny. Impossible! Keeping up the tradition, Jeff Reed had us believing there really was a Santa Clause. Whipped cream wouldn't have made a better top- ping for the Christmas Party.

Bells at 3:17 aren't always the signal for, No more teachers, no more schoo. Extra curric- ular activities abound in those few short hours between the time school's out and supper. Night- ly team practices, club meetings, and an occa- sional detention are only a few of the many rea- sons for not being in the after school Parking Lot 500. I'm not sure, but I think Greg Ware is going to reach his car first. 72 It's bound to be a good race. Fred Rogers is running a close second. YOUR OWN RISK From 3:17 on pedestrians travel at their own risk. Slower starters often travel in groups for safety. One last late entry in the race is the slow but sure bus.

Selected mixed chorus members rehearse for Ohio Weslyn concert. 81 ENTHUSIASTIC LEADERS OF Many hours of drilling go into perfecting routines by Alder's cheerleaders. But along with all this drilling, cheerleaders find time for fun and refresh- ments. Up-Up and Away! 82 1----------- ALDER FANS Boys help move tables for the annual basketball banquet. A piece of tape here and the job is complete Mrs. Stenner, may I use the phone to call my mother please?” CHAMPIONS WHETHER Someone has to get things ready for practice. Gosh coach, I can see myself! Big smiles are a pretty good indication that another night's practice is over. Sports practices are one of the most frequent causes of late suppers in the area. Two hour practices often start at 3:30 and end at 6:00 p.m. Not everyone can be a starter, however, sports are among alders best teachers. Pioneer athletes are always winners, no matter what the score. THEY WIN OR LOSE Runners take your mark. Long hard practices often end with a seat on the floor.

Steve Raber streaks to all-league honors. repeatedly proved his ability for directing Pioneer FOOTBALL Jonathan Alder's football fortunes improved dramat- ically with the introduction of Don Morrison as head coach. An apt expression of the past two years might be, the last shall be first, and the first shall be last, as the Pioneers soared from a last place finish in 1970 to come within one play of winning the league title in 1971. Alder featured a veteran team comprised of 11 seniors, 2 juniors, and numerous sophomores and freshman, each contributing to the 'Big Red Machine. The Pioneer team was a dedicated one that employ- ed quickness and experience along with the desire and hard work of those playing on it. Constituting the team were many fine individual athletes, but all play- ed with a singleness of purpose and team play so im- portant to the building of a football tradition at Jonathan Alder. The staff congratulates Coach Morrison on his first season and wishes him many more. IT’S A WINNER Crucial situations were oiten Size of the opponent means nothing when Killer instinct is involved, solved by the old end around right play. Enthusiastic supporters vividly expressed themselves at the thought of another pioneer victory. Waiting is often the hardest part of the game. CAGERS FINISH STRONG m M Hard work and determination personified by this Alder eager as he works the boards. A streaking Pioneer gets east fastbreak bucket against Dublin. Through the early stages of the season the Jonathan Alder basketball team was something less than spec- tacular. But, upon adaptation to first-year mentor Ron Lucas philosophy of strong defense and a patterned offense, the Pioneers got untracked. Registering im- pressive victories over Southeastern and Madison- Plains, the roundballers finished a strong second in D.V.L. Competition. At the conclusion of their re- gular season the Pioneers played well enough to win the Sectionals, defeating Fairbanks and Westfall along the way. At the districts, an inspired group of athletes played 1 ranked Marion Pleasant to a standstill for 3 quarters before bowing 54-41.

Sophomore Bob Stewart picks up six points for his team with a pin. Par Murphy Is on his way to score against the Wehrle opponent. The 1971-72 edition of the Jonathan Alder wrestl- ing team was brought to its outstanding conclusion by a superb 12-1 regular season mark and ending with a slate good for first place in single A state competi- tion. First-year coach Ron Hopkins posted a veteran squad that was led by such stars as the brother combi- nation of Rick and Steve Stalnaker and Aaron Snyder. Rick finishing his high school career, became the State Champion in the 105 lb. class and Steve, a sophomore, placed second in thw 112 lb. division. Many wrestlers were responsible for this great year. Championship teams are just that - teams and not individuals. Indeed Jonathan Alder had not only some superstars, but a SUPER SQUAD.

What did it mean to be a 1971-1972 Alder Spirit Generator? - a sign-decorated school. (Are we out of paper again?) - white saddle shoes. - smiling without being told to do it. - serving breakfasts and planning banquets. - pigtails once a week. - learning that everthing worth while takes work. What does it mean to be an Alder Cheerleader? - enthusiasm, frustrations, disap- pointment, joy, and more work! Pensive Alder cheerleaders ponder the outcome of a crucial play. Pam's boisterous display of enthusiasm echos, J.A. all the way ! TRACK RECORDS OF THE PAST Dedicated workouts led Pat Murphy to a new school record of 4:44 in the mile. Landing gear down! Alder's track season may easily be summed up as a winner. Individual efforts often glowed brightly, but it was the total teamwork that won the many meets. The two outstanding highlights of the season came with a definite D.V.L, victory and in the state competition. Pioneer runners placed in every D.V.L. event, outscoring their nearest opponent by 65 points. After placing second in their sectional and third in their district, J.A. sent three boys to the state finals. Terry Edgington placed 4th and Dick Murry placed 10th in the high jump. John Boyhan was eliminated in low and high hurdle prelims, and finished 7th in the long jump. WINNING THE D.V.L. HAS BECOME A TRADITION Aaron seems to have worked out a pretty good balancing act. Mental preparation played a major role in Steve ( rago's speedy sprints at the D. V.L. Every bit of umph counts in a shot put attempt. 100 John Boyhan's all-around ability enabled him to attain the honorary captain's award in the '72 track team. THREE GO TO STATE Eyeing his goal, Terry set a school record at 6’4 . Smooth exchanges like this one led Alder's 220 relay team to a 1st in the D.V.L. 101 West Jefferson Fairbanks Triad Madison Plains Dublin Mechanicsburg Triad Madison Plains Mechanicsburg Southeastern Cedarville Greenview Fairbanks Cedarville Dublin Olentangy Xorth Union Amanda Tournament ALDER 9 7 2 2 2 6 3 0 3 13 3 4 4 4 8 5 12 OPP, 6 5 6 12 11 3 4 3 A BAD CASE OF Sophomores like Larry Kuhns promise more runs in the future. Thats one pitch the catcher will never get hold of! 102 Senior Rick Frey provided bench strength. WINNERS AT HEART i Pitcher John Burchett threw 54 innings worth of these follow throughs. Baseball blues have struck once again at Alder. Although the Pioneers won 5 of their first 10 games, they ended with an eight game losing streak that brought their final record to 5-13. In that stretch the Pioneers lost a few hard fought extra inning games and several other times were only one hit away from a win. Lack of clutch hitting was a major problem as the team stranded numerous run- ners. With only 2 seniors on the '72 squad, Alder's baseball fortunes are bound to improve next year. A smooth swing got Mike North to third. 104 Rick is ready to run as soon as he hits the ball. Looks good. D.V.L. FALLS ON ALDER’S GREEN Winning the D.V.L. for the first time and sending four golfers to the district were big holes on Alder's course this year. With no seniors on the squad, the team should swing on to even better things next year. Go ball go! Tricky greens can give anyone trouble. Mike's in the rough grass again. WOMEN’S LIB IN THE High-jumping Kathy Damron shows her own personal technique for just making that bar. Height has little to do with running as proven by Patti Stalnaker. Peggy’s long strides gave this relay team an even greater lead. • tV ■■ WORLD OF TRACK One characteristic of all Alder athletes is the spirit of competition. Floating through the air, Sue tries to out- jump her shadow. Feminine voices are heard more and more on the sports scene at Alder each year. Particularly victorious seasons were enjoyed in volleyball and track. Although the girls often complain about the work, they'd fight to the end to keep girl's sports at Alder. 107 Opponents weren't able to stay this close to Alder runners very often. DANCING TO DOLLARS Mike may be fast on a basketball court but he’s faster on the dance floor. Its no problem to get involved with the music of a good band. Dances at Alder are a great place to have fun with your friends. 108 FAST FOOTED FUN! Informal dances at Alder, do not only serve as fun and play times. These dances are probably the greatest source of income for the varied or- ganizations throughout the school. The Y-Teens, Hi-Y, F. H.A., Junior Class and Senior Class all sponsor dances as a means of reviving their funds. The best part is that they have fun doing it! Learning a new dance step can he hazardous, but after you've to it its great! A few notes from the band is all it takes to get things moving. Frosty December air wasn t enough to chill the spirits of ex- cited couples on their way to the Y-Teen prom. As each pair en- tered, they were greeted by waiters and escorted to their private tables. Equipped with party hats, noise makers, and plenty of confetti, everyone was well prepared to celebrate New Years Eve. At midnight the air filled with tiny bits of multicol- ored paper and squealing blasts from the noisemakers. Although it really wasn't New Years Eve, the gayness and livelyhood that filled the gym was enough to fool anyone attending. Y-TEENS SAY, “WELCOME Waiters showed each individual couple to their own special table. Private tables and candlelight set the mood for an enjoyable evening in December. no TO TIME SQUARE. People behind the scene deserve much credit. Beautiful formal gowns seem to cover the fact that everyone is still in school. Someone has to clean up. Ill 1971-72 HOMECOMING QUEEN PAM BE ACHY HOMECOMING IS FIVE DAYS OF EXCITEMENT SENIORS Escort Steve Raber and Queen Pam Beachy Homecoming week is one of the most ex- citing and meaningful five days in the Alder school year. The voting for the queen and her court, choosing of escorts, glowing bonfire at the pep rally, and the football game are brought to a memorable finale at the home- coming dance. Beauty, fun, and excitement - just one small part of Alder HOMECOMING. 1971-72 HOMECOMING QUEEN AND COURT Queen Pam Beachy, Connie Converse, Linda Griffith, Vangie Yoder, and Marilyn Hughes.

PROM A Polynesian evening is something that we should all see sometime during our life, unfortunately not everyone can. Through the efforts of the Junior class, however, the Seniors of '72 were able to enjoy a glimmer of a Polynesian moonlight. That South Sea feeling began with a native dinner and ended with each individual couple departing in their own direction. They left with a unique impression of the hula dancers, the plant life about the gym, the tiki gods, the volcano - in total - A Polynesian evening.

Tonight, tonight, a beautiful Polynesian evening. Two hip hula dancers provided hot and heavy entertainment. 116 FOOTBALL PLAYERS CHOW DOWN That still-hungry look sends Greg back for seconds. The radiance of the fighting Pioneers is reflected on the faces of both players and coaches. Football is surely important to the player, but so is eating . . . 18 T FINALE Mr. Weeks certainly does deserve her letter. Senior cheerleader, Shirley Kuhns, receives special recognition at this gala event. Kenny Vowell received his four-year award for football. 119 A NEW APPROACH TO National Honor Society President, Fred Yoder, takes a few last-minute looks at the program. Food for Thought was definitely expressed through Mr. Reidel's topic, Are You Really National Honor Society Material? k . 3 A pleased smile on Mrs. Thompson's face left seniors with feelings of gratitude, appreciation and relief. This Senior quartet displays the musical talent of its members. Each new member related his feelings he had at the time he was tapped. Mr. Oxley proudly presents new member with their awards at the banquet. A HIGH HONOR 121 M HONOR MEMBERS AT BANQUET There is always room for pie and ice cream. A special time for doodling is set aside by Rick and Phil Frey. • — ► mm i O ____ drrrfTmTM Bill Becker is pictured at one of his most serious moments in high school. Upon being selected as 1971-72 FFA Queen, Patti Graber expresses her appreciation and gratitude. F.H.A. HELPS BUILD Little Miss Toni steals a lot of hearts and laughs. Professor Dal instructs guests of The Peach. The members of FFA got a little practice in the art of setting tables A BETTER TOMORROW ,v.nV� V Is Fred a clean plater of a plate cleaner? The main task of the evening lies in the installa- tion of next year’s officers. Each year the Future Homemakers of America work hard at money-making and worthwhile acti- vities. The final event of the year is the paren- daughter banquet which everyone looks forward to. It is at this time that awards are presented and new officers are installed. With the help of the FFA boys, the advisors, and the entire club itself, the banquet leaves all with a favorable impression of the 1971- 72 school year. I forgot my speech! 125 May I take your order? BAND ENDS ON A GOOD NOTE Wow! An original Starrett production. We all know what banquets are for, don’t we? 127 EVERYONE ENJOYS EATING, NO Winning a freshman numeral is the first step towards a letter. Kick doesn't have to worry about his weight for a shile. Something smells good Cutting the meat sometimes becomes a family affair. MATTER WHAT THE SPORT Who wanted the alka-seltzer? The banquet didn't end Terry's high jumping, as he still had to attend the state finals. ALDER’S SPIRIT BURNS BRIGHT Cars rolling bumper to bumper, horns blaring and students yelling wildly as they rolled down the back road to Alder were only the beginning of a fun-filled evening. After leaving Plain City and reach- ing Alder, students came face to face with their purpose in traveling, a peppy rally to lead the pounding Pioneers to a victory over St. Charles Crackling flames outlined by a pitch black sky seemed to intensify the mystery of who would be the 1972 Homecom- ing queen. Pam Beachy en- joyed the hot-dogs and cider with her friends, knowing she had been elected. A beautiful night and a bright bonfire make for a memorable evening. TEACHERS HAVE FUN TOO Eleven ball in the side pocket. Holiday spirits coupled with cue sticks, card tables, and festive foods enabled the faculty to leave their classrooms, black- boards, and grade books and a nearly completed first semester. Highlights of the evening were a match between the self- proclaimed pool sharks and a charade of THE GREEN BELLIED SNEECHES. I'll match your bus and raise you a football team. Catching footballs and playing charades are much alike. 131 AT THE ARTS FESTIVAL Take a fresh look: at peace, love, hate, sorrow, humor, and yourself through music and poet- ry. Add a gymnastics program, a literary magazine, an art display, and refreshment booths. We have the 1972 version of the Annual Arts Festival. More raisens! Much more raisens! JUNIORS PUT ON A BIG FARCE Backstage - a place of last minute line learning. This house is enough to drive anybody crazy.

Looks like Danny must have been playing in Alvetta's garden again! If you can picture a forty year old inventing grocer, an Italian zoo keeper, and big-shot businessman interested in plastic cans, you might be able to imagine how laughable the junior class play, Quiet Everybody, was. Poor Mr. Homey, all he ever wanted was some peace and quiet, but around his bug catching uncle, three frisky kids, and a loose lion, it was impossible. Ed Homey's latest invention, plastic cans, was bound to be a pot of gold until young Dan Homey accidentally scared the financier away with a pot of bugs. Dan saved face though - his home-made puzzles were intiguing enough to lure the financier to eventually complete the business deal. Would you believe this was the student director at dress rehearsal? Make-up is fun to put on - but taking it off! 135 EVERYBODY'S CRAZY I'm Adam Pottle and I’m a dirt farmer and I'm proud of it. CAST Herb Stanley Greg Conley Elmer Sneed Bill Becker Tommy Wilkins 0.

TT ... Better wake up Adam. He's dreaming about the snakes again! Oh Godfrey, you're sleepwalk- ing again. Money seems to be some- thing that everyone needs, es- pecially college students. It was this financial drive that led three college boys into their adventures with the Hodgefield Hotel. Highlighting their stay were guys dressed as girls, ghosts, and a lot of romance. Naturally the play ended happi- ly ever after with the guys gett- ing their girls. Herb finding a fourtune, and the villain being foiled again. 137 J.A.

People were so busy eating they didn't have time to pose for a picture. Do I have room for more ? GO PLACES EARLY The food was great and the waiters complained they've never served so much free coke to any other group. 141 Let's get on with the show. The 1971-72 POWDER HORN Staff feels that a dedication should be made to a person who is just that - dedicated. Miss Van Fossen has been a member of the Jonathan Alder system for eight years. During these years she has taught in the social stu- dies department and has acted a junior advisor and Y-Teen advi- sor. She is the type of person that will go out of her way to help a student and enjoys teach- ing. It is for these accomplish- ments - her teaching ability and her participation in activities requiring personal time that we are dedicating this year's year- book to Joyce Van Fossen.
