Text from Pages 1 - 232 of the 1974 volume:

■■■■■■■i Down X YDS. TO GO onathan Alder H.Q Main City, Ohio SCHOOL jmoccc jooooo Koowooo mooooo COOOOO' Dedication Kids can tell when a teacher really likes them, and when he’s teaching just as a job. Mr. Jerome Banyots teaches because he likes the students. In addition to teaching Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, he started the Chess Club, and is a Drivers Ed instructor, Junior Class Advisor, and Bowling supervisor. Noontimes find him filling the Cokemachine, selling candy for the Senior Class, and joking with the students. The Yearbook Staff dedica- tes the 1974 POWDERHORN to Mr. Jerome Banyots. FACES Reflect Many different FACES fill the halls of Alder and each one stands out and is important. The atmosphere at Jonathan Alder is not made up by the curriculum but by die students and faculty who teach, learn, and grow here at Alder. Everyone is important and no one is just a FACE in the crowd. Everything worth doing is worth doing well, and John Moore has decided this project is worth some extra effort. Finding a pencil in Becky Damron's purse can be a big challenge. Some of the rumors at school are a big shock to Junior Ron Flowers. 4 mi fid Student's Emotions Mike Bakenh aster sits alone to sort out his many thoughts and ideas. The class period seems to be longer than 45 minutes as Bob Warner endures a boring study hall. Sleepless nights catch Freshman Mike Hilbert snoozirg the morning after. Every FACE tells a different story and expresses its own emotions - and that is what the Yearbook Staff tries to capture in the '74 Powderhorn. Looks of Love and Friendship Our lives are shaped by those who love us - by those who refuse to love us. - John Shipley rs. Stenner takes time out of her busy day to ___1.. . Even though Meg Anderson is busy in the morning One of the many friendships at Alder is shared by selling supplies she still finds time to talk to Pam Martin and Brad Stoker. Robert Hostetler, a special friend. 6 Many students develop friendships with members of the faculty as well as with fellow classmates. Both students and teachers need to have friends to accept them for what they are. Nobody's life would be fulfilled if there was no one that cared . The special relationship that many students hope to have during their well-remembered high school years is experienced by Laura Foust and Phil Raber. Mr. Cooke offers a helping hand to Becky Damron, one of his art students. Julie Graber watches intently at a Reserve basketball game. Reading is one of the necessities for students throughout their high school life. wnriH f a- ib,erftCd t0°’ an ®ac el°r living is preparing Paul Newell and other promising bachelors for world of dirty dishes, missing buttons, dirty laundry and unbalanced checkbooks. 8 FACE9 of Concentration Outstanding ability in art is demonstrated by Lindy Wooten. A nervous hand is no help in applying mascara for the Junior Class Play, as discovered by Debbie Murphy. Much concentration and determination is needed in order to succeed in sports and scho- lastic subjects. Contrary to what students would like to do, concentration is necessary especially when it is time for the chapter test in Biology or the semester exams. Study halls, classes, basketball games, and backstage during a class play are only a few places of concentration. Reflections on Victory . . . In the end importance lies not in whether you win or lose, but in how you play the game. V ictories play an important role in the lives of high school students. To accomplish their goals gives students the satisfaction of knowing they are capable of achieving things in life. Did you see my match? I won! are the words expressed on the happy FACE of Senior Danny Toops. Pointers given by Coach Hop- kins help Dana Myers during his rookie year. Passing a test is a joyful victory to many students as shown bv the big smile on Randy Beachy's FACE. . . and Defeat Listening to a pep talk during half time encourages the basketball team to win their game. Losing is sometimes unbearable, but happens whenever you fail to achieve the goal you set for yourself. Whether it's losing a bas- ketball game or a friend, failing a driver's test or a Physic's Exam, being pinned by your opponent while wres- tling, or misplacing your class riig, losing is alike for every- body in the fact that everyone learns through their errors. Anyone knows that winning is much easier than losing. I know you can do it. are the special words said by Karen Rausch that inspired Robby Weese to win. On to victory! is the slogan shouted by Dana DunMire before a game. FACEQ of Foolishness Wrestling bakesales were a source of income and upset stomachs. Laughing in the library is a sure way of find- ing yourself back in study hall, isn't it Steve? Not all students walk to classes on their hands The school regulation changed so that we can chew gum in school but NEVER blow bubbles. Eric Snyder breaks another rule . . . 12 Oh, leave me alone! proves to be a favorite slogan of June Kidd. School holds many pressures with all its homework, exams, and athletic competition, but there is always time to have fun. Boring study halls can be perked up by vis- iting the library, the Class Plays highlight both the Junior and Senior years, and the Senior year is also enlightened by the decorating of the lobby Christmas tree. School holds many fun activities as well as much hard work. Senior Tim Stenner seems to be decorating himself more than the lobby Christmas tree. Santa Claus is portrayed by Tim Wolfle as Sharon Martin admires his beard. Expressions 01 Enthusiasm Pinhim! are the words echoing the gym as Debbie Hoy yelled • To show their spirit, Seniors stand for the Battle Cry at a pep meeting. Basketball is a group effort and Rick Adkins and Andy Bill Clark attempt to achieve that goal. We may be small, but we are mighty! denoted the attitude of the members of the Wrestling Club. Activities in school provide for students the chance to get involved. Sports such as football, basketball, and wrestling, sparks enthusiasms in their partici- pants as well as the fans. Y-Teens and Juniors decorating for proms become enthusiastic as they share their imag- ination to charge a gymnasium into a beautiful dance floor for one night. Students involved in the class plays are enthusiastic as they actually live their part in the play - with all the needed props and sound effects. When students enter high school they enter a new world filled with many different acti- vities which hold involvement and enthusiasm. Hours of Happiness. wet. seems to be the philosophy of Sophomore wears a smile. . . . and Sadness Glad hearts mean happy faces, where the heart is sad the spirit is broken. For the sorrowing, every day is evil; for the joyous heart, it is a festival always. -Proverbs 15:13 Cheryl Yutzy owns one of the smiles that brightens the halls of Alder. Students can be happy for many reasons including finishing their homework at school, no school on Friday, getting straight A's on their report card, or just finding someone else smiling in the halls. Feeling sad and empty inside can stem from problems with a friend, failing a test, having no one to pal around with because your best friend is sick at home, or knowing that this weekend will be no different from the last. Not always happy, but sometimes sad FACES fill Alder's halls. Searching for solutions to some problems, Sharon Mart sits alone during lunch. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it. are the timid words of Becky Frey after realizing she made a terrible mistake. Student Body Attends Communications Assembly After weeks of planning, flashes that didn't go off and finding a speedy developer, Keith Rapp's slide study is ready for viewing at the communi- cations assembly. A Navajo Indian, Richard Mike, spoke to the Senior Seminar Students. New FACE Mrs. Nancy Fuller finds individual attention a useful tool for instruction. 20 The English department was completely revamped in 1973 and is still undergoing change. Poetry, Advanced Filmmaking, and Mythology, and Science Fiction were added to the semester courses. As in every other department, there was a new FACE when classes began in September. Mrs. Nancy Fuller joined Mrs. Reed, while Mr. Earl Games handled the freshmen. Sever- al classes put on communications and drama assemblies. How to be an efficient carry-out boy was demonstrated by Rex Love joy. Speech Class gives Buddy Schrock a chance to imi- tate his hero, Billy the Kid. Karl Koon finds Mrs. Reed ready and willing to help him with his journalism queries. I pfl English Classes Give Students Ways of Developing Various Talents Many Engli classes were turned into rap sessions by ibis foreign FACE, Javier Montealegre. Mark Highman discovers composition class is taxing on his brain. In Journalism John, Jim, and Ron find three heads are better than one while Patty prefers to work alone. Reading for Pleasure offers students a chance to read their favorite books while expanding their reading potential. For this reason the class is often filled. 23 Different Phases of Home Economics Mr i ! Under die guidance of former student. Rod Baker, Bill Madry experiments with crepes in Bachelor Living class. Tom Hay devours the fruits of his labor after careful preparation. 24 Attract Different FACES Bachelor Living was a new dimension added to the Home Economics department. In addition to the regular classes, Food and Child Development and Clothing were included in th e c urr icu lum. Ins true tors Mrs. Nina Lendavic and Mrs. Nancy Richards touched on a variety of topics ranging from birth control to fondue. As the other girls make valentines, Donna Loy dreams of the valentines she hopes to get from different sources. Dale Miller realizes somebody has to mix the ingredients, but Mike Bakenhaster doesn't under stand why Andy Clark and Gary Thomas are the only ones who eat. Additional IOE and Typing Classes Added to Accommodate Business-Minded Students Mrs. Keiser and Mrs. Leich taught the duties of the Intensive Office Education department, which ranged from spelling to typing to bookkeeping. Senior IOE girls partici- pated in an actual office situation, under the super- vision of Mrs. Sayre, where they formed a mock company called Lester-Hill. A new Typing II was taught by Mrs. Leich, for those stu- dents who weren’t in IOE but hoped to improve their typing skills. With fingers poised and eyes on book Tammy Rush steadily types ment for class. Shorthand is a new world all in itself as discovered by Kathy Wren put on speed and transcription. After the basics are learned, emphasis is thinning machines is a new experience to Junior Sheila Martin, in her first year in I.O.E. Using dictaphones is a normal duty of Senior IOE girls as shown by Patty Akers. 27 Many hours of hard work go into a shop project before it is finished. A helping hand from Mr. Hay makes Jeff Miller's work easier. Industrial Arts, Vo Ag Provide Industrial Arts and Vocational Agri- culture, taught by Mr. Walter Hay and Mr. James Adams, respectively, provide students interested in carpentry or farm- ing with an ideal setting to perfect their techniques. A large amount of time and effort go into the making of a bookcase in shop or repairing a tractor engine in Vo-Ag. Students in the Agri-Business branch of the Vo-Ag department attend school during the morning, then work at least three hours a day at some farm-oriented job. Shop students display many of their wooden and leather goods at the annual Arts Festival held in the Spring. Many different tools are used by Howard Wimer in the making of his creations. ln-9chool Training Horses take up Karl Koon’s afternoons in the Agri-Business program. FFA members Wayne Rickard, Steve Brofford, and Robert Hostetler rest after serving dinner at the annual Future Homemakers banquet. Vo-Ag teacher Mr. Adams prepares lesson plans for his class. Discussing Vo-Ag business are John Watson, Mark Yoder, and Jeff Rapp. Practice makes perfect , and Terry Wood Freshmen Valerie Hershberger and Barb Baldwin were new, stays overtime to rehearse. eager FACES in the band. The band performs under Mr. Starrett's able direction. Having three heavy drums strapped to his chest doesn't lessen the enjoyment for Richard Hostetler. Everybody Has a Song to Sing Under the direction of Mrs. Donna Hill, the Mixed Chorus and the Freshman Chorus practice each day. Giving a Christmas con- cert, singing in an exchange concert with Fairbanks, and singing at Baccalaureate re- quires many hours of practice. But the sounds that come from them makes it all worthwhile. Although the Mixed Chorus has a lot of fun, much hard work is involved in preparing for an upcoming concert. Past students like Chris Roby often return to recapture fond memories. -■ � 1 ■« ‘ ' J . Mrs. Hill tries to persuade Jim Cunningham and Jim Troyer to start singing. A new FACE greeted Business General Math, and Geometry students when they began classes in September. Mr. Robert DeMooy joined Mrs. Ethel Thompson in Alder's Mathematics department. Mrs. Thompson handles the Algebra and Col- lege Math classes for those college bound students. Explaining problems on an overhead protector is an effec- o“can some,ime‘be very “d is - -■ —■ - - 32 Precise Math and Calculating Minds Find and Science Classes Challenging o o Earth Science and Biology II were two new courses added to the science field this year. Aloi with the usual courses of Biology I, General Science, Senior Science, Chemistry and Fhysics, these courses were taught by Mr. Banyots, and a new FACE at Alder, Mrs. Keith. Guest more interesting, science classes by making the subject In Biology class, Julie Graber rewards the mice after successfully completing a maze. Accomplishing her experiment in Chemistry, Peggy Wahlen receives praise from Cindy Patterson. New Kiln, New Teacher Give Art is always a favorite course, and many study hall teachers find students three and four periods a day under Mr. Mr. Cooke's guidance. Art ability is not confined to any grade level, and freshmen and seniors alike enjoy the time spent pursing individual interests. A kiln was purchased which enables students to work with ceramics, in addition to the usual acrylics, pastels, and ink. The art department also takes care of pub- licity for school events, prom decorations, and bulletin board displays. Although you are mainly on your own and work at your own pace, a helping hand is appreciated. Classes More Opportunities Alder's Phys. Ed. classes give budding gymnasts a chance to develop their skills. Being in charge of girl's sports finds Mrs. Ross on the phone. The Phys. Ed. department acquired a new FACE this year, as well as a new format. Classes are now held every day for one-half semester, and both girls and boys are in Phys. Ed. on any given day instead of an alternating day. Mrs. Patricia Ross is in her rookie year as girl's Phys. Ed. instructor, while Mr. Ray Willoughby drills the boys. Doing simps for physical fitness is something Gary Vowell finds he must do. World Affairs Provide Topics for Discussion The year 1974 was an especially crazy and unpredictable year for U.S. politi- cians and world affairs. Most teachers in die social studies department relied heav- ily on current events as the basis for their classes, utilizing Time, Newsweek, and newspapers. Mr. Carpenter’s classes held mock elections in the fall and the American History students toured the State House. ' Ai , ' ' __ ■ •'■ ■•jilt Pam and Sharon Martin find unusual ways of promoting their candidate in the mock election. Although he needs to study, Steve Stalnaker finds time for a break. Ron Flowers shared his knowledge of the Civil War period with students. Foreign Exchange Student Visits Alder Ted Caudill ponders the worth of it all as he tackles his first year of Spanish. This year students were given a chance to use their Spanish outside of class. Foreign exchange student, Javier Mon- tealegre, visited the United States for 2 1 2 months, and it was quite a challenge to make this Costa Rican understand them. In addition to the usual Spanish I and II classes, there were enough interested stu- dents to make up a Spanish III class. Debbie Slabaugh finds that extra help from Ms. Lindley makes things easier. Maps helped bring Vicki and Dwight to a better understanding of Spanish countries. Chapman Ford, Kile Pontiac Donate Cars At last, my license! These are the words uttered by students who have comple- ted their driving education. After a semester of class- room work, students must have six hours of actual driving experience. Mr. Don Morrison teaches the class and is assisted by Mr. Jerry Banyots. As Becky Osborne looks on, John Hilliard demonstrates the proper technique of tearing off a car bumper. Debbie Heffner wonders if girls really can change car tires. 38 EMR Sponsors Basketball Game r With the EMR class being small, Miss Armstrong can give special attention to each pupil's problems. A new FACE at Alder was the EMR teacher, Miss Karen Armstrong. To raise money for class projects, the class planned a basketball game between Alder and West Jefferson's EMR classes. In addition to class, the students also had fun by learn- ing the art of candle making. Many of Miss Armstrong's students are able to leave school at noon to work at their various jobs. iucational television plays an important part i the classroom. Miss Karen Armstrong, a newcomer to Alder, seems to enjoy her job. 39 Activities FHA Sponsors Powder Alder saw a new kind of football this year as the F.H.A. club sponsored a powder puff football game as a fund raising project to earn enough money for the conven- tion. The cost was only twenty- five cents and was well worth it, because those who went were out of regular eight and ninth period classes. The teams consisted of girls wl were members of F.H.A. and wished to get in on a piece of action. This manly group of cheerleaders builds a perfect pyramid and performs zany cheers to inspire their favorite football team to a victory. Many F. H. A. girls took time out from sewing and cooking to try their hand at a friendly game of football. The 1973 Powder Puff football game begins as Karen Tharp kicks off and Tressia Phillips looks Puff Football Game I The referees aren't able to make a correct call and wind up spendin most of their time arguing with the players, and sometimes even th coach. The girls were sparked by a unique group of cheerleader - guys. Several boys volunteered their time to dress up in their red and black suits to perform hilarious cheers and even a pom-pom routine. As a result of such clowns, the powder puff football game proved to be entertaining and very successful. These Alder cheerleaders gather around to try to decide which cheer is next on their agenda. '74 Homecoming Highlights Bridget's happiness is por- trayed by her smile. oiiuiuuc receives a cong tulatory kiss from Escort Cunningham.

Here meals are eaten, snakes collected, plays are written, ballet steps practiced, print- ing presses operated, and xylophones played. In short, if there were room enough there would probably be ice skating, too. For this is a house where you do as you like, and no questions asked. Quiet! Everybody! Quiet! All heads are lowered as Grandpa (Kenny McCabe) begins to say Grace. witn nis arm around Rheba (June Kidd), Kol (Dave Humm) drags her protestingly into the room to greet Mrs. Sycamore.

Mr. Ted Andrick spoke about his philosophies on uncon- ditional love. 'Unconditional Love' Enjoyable Topic This year the Y- Teens sponsored the annual Thanks- giving assembly. Songs were sung, a prayer was read and Mr. Ted Andrick, a graduate of Ohio State University rep- resenting the Fellowship for Christian Athletes, high- lighted the assembly when he spoke about Unconditional Love.” The student body and faculty were touched by his topic and found him very enjoyable. The Senior Mixed Chorus sang some Thanksgiving selections to bring the assembly tp an end. Undefeated DVL Champions Receive Numerous Awards Honored at the annual grid banquet was the first undefeated football team in the history of Jonathan Alder. The 1973 Pioneers finished the season 9-0, winning the Darby Valley League Championship. Pioneer gridders honored were best defensive player, Scott Snyder; most valuable player, Gary Vowell; and best offensive player, Phil Raber. The boys were chosen by fellow teammates.

Tony Mason, head coach for the University of Cincinnati football team, was guest speaker. He delivered a talk on the makings of an All- American. Most Valuable Player, Gary Vowell, receives his third year award from Assistant Coach, Earl Games. Foreign Exchange Students Even though Lamoro Marx has been studying English for only a year, he was a very good public speaker. Spanish speaking Cynthia Sampedro and Regina Zea help June Kidd put her foreign language to good use. Some very new FACES greeted Alder stu- dents at a March assembly. Four foreign ex- change students with the American Field Service presented a program with the hope of creating an interest in the Plain City area to start an AFS chapter. These natives of Scandinavia, South America, and Africa spoke of their home countries, compared the United States with their home life, and expressed their feelings of the American people, food, movies, and daily living. After their talks they sang and played the piano. We heard an American tune and an original composition. They spent the remainder of the day at Alder, and were impressed with its small size and friendly students. With AF9 Visit Alder After each student told about their impression with the American way of life, they sang in an ensemble. Many Alder students took time to learn more about Pecca's Swedish customs and homeland. Participating in whiffle ball gave Lamoro a chance to meet the students. Cagers Honored At Banquet Now wait a minute, I really do have the award for Coach Bise! says Andy. Buddy Schrock was awarded a trophy for the Most Improved player during the 1973-74 basket- ball season.

Behind the scenes support by Mrs. Keith and Mrs. Hopkins was appreciated by the team and staff. A hefty trophy was presented to Coach Hopkins by Tom Beddow on behalf of the team, cheerleaders, and wrestling club. Alder's matmen are winners was proven to be a fact by the statistics of the Pioneer matmen, as well as by the parents and faithful fans. These individuals and those who had a hand in the winning season were recognized at the annual potluck banquet. A State Champion, an undefeated 10-0 season, winners of the first DVL mat title, eight wrestlers sent to the Central District com' petition, second in the state in Class A, and first in the JA Invitational were only a handful of the accomplishments recorded by the grapplers during the year. Coach Ron Hopkins was awarded a 36-inch trophy inscribed to Alder's Greatest Coach by the wrestling team , cheerleaders, and wrestling club for being their inspiration both on and off the mat.

Complicate matters by having rehearsals in a haunted theater owned by a grouchy old man, and you have the basis for this hilarious mystery comedy. Barbara, the director, leads the group of amateurs in their performance of A Mid- summer Night’s Dream. She tries to keep control over Rosalie, the non-stop eater; Marye Anne, the local prima donna; Joe a loud-mouthed, but good natured boy; Myrtle, who always has her foot in her mouth; and, of course, the ghosts. This senior class play was unique in that rear auditorium entrances were used, as well as less curtain and a little more lighting. Bold Pyramus (Bud Schrock) stands proudly by his fair lady, Thisby, (Tim Stenner) as the prologue is being read.

Intramural volleyball player Dan Thomas gives up his noontime and puts off eating to play ball. A WL 58 )o Their Own Thing If nothing in the gym, restroom, or cafeteria is interesting, the hall is a favorite place to hang out. Intramural basketball is a very popular noontime activity. It’s lunchtime and time to relax our weary brains and bodies before going to the next period class. You can expect to find Cindy busy at work in the office during lunch. 59 Many Journey Through a Wrapped up in a loving world of their own are Roberta George and Larry Humm.

The band warms up before their concert under the direction of Mr. Starret. 62 At the Arts Festival The Freshman Chorus, as well as the Mixed Chorus, performed a concert in the JA Auditorium. A Sonny and Cher photo and record collection was displayed by Marcus Glass. Art displays in the cafeteria gave visitors to evaluate JA talent.

Service Projects, Social Activities, Money Making Ideas. Run, Debbie, run! are the screams heard echoing through the air after Debbie Hoy hit the softball. Activities of the Y-Teen Club included service, money-making, and social projects. Picnics, carwash, Prom, and the Mother-Daughter Dessert were some of the highlights of the year. Freshman members were auctioned off at the fall picnic. Eating and singing occupied the rest of the evening. Darby Metropolitan Park was the location for the spring picnic. Y-Teen members and their guests enjoyed eating, softball, ice fights, trail runs, and playground equipment. Eating is one of the favorite pastimes of the picnickers. Calories were the last thing on their mind as the mothers selected desserts. Advisor Mrs. George received a relish tray from the Y-Teens as a token of their appreciation for her help. Make Up Y-Teen Year Mother-Daughter Dessert was held at the end of the year in the new cafeteria. Officers for the 1974-75 school year were installed and the senior members were recognized. Mrs. George was honored for her sincerity, helpfulness, and devotion to the club. Each new officer received their oath of office and were installed individually at the dessert. The daily raising and lowering of the school flag was the task of two Hi-Y members. Stenner and Junior John Adams.

Wayne Rickard doesn't seem to mind lending a hand to pick up litter. Service projects of the Hi-Y Club included cleaning up after home football games and taking the responsibility of the school flag in the front lawn. The club also co-sponsored the Y-Teen Picnic which was held at Darby Metropolitan Park, and found wagons for the Hi-Y Y-Teen Picnic. ; i Everyone pitched in to help clean up the school grounds after a home football game. 81 Bother to Care Serving the meal, refilling coffee cups, and cleaning tables were tasks of the FHA girls at the FFA banquet. A table full of goodies and an empty stomach draws students to the FHA bake sale, held after school. With arms cluttered with filled suitcases, sleeping bags, purses, and pillows, the FHA girls leave for the State Convention held in Columbus. Activities of the FHA Club ranged from money-making projects to conventions to banquets. An ice cream social, bake sales, and a penny drive were among the money-making projects. The money was used to cover ex- penses of the banquet, State Con- vention, and some was donated to charities such as CARE and Children’s Hospital. Theme for FHA Year At their annual FHA banquet, mothers and daughters enjoyed a scrumptious meal served by FFA members. Phil Raber was chosen as FHA King and was pre- sented with a stuffed animal by President Ginny Love. Clothes of the fifties and the present were modeled during a style show which was a highlight of the banquet. FFA money making projects included the refreshment stand at basketball games selling garden seeds, and the very profit- able fruit sale. Since the FFA Club is a self-financed organization, some of the money was spent for state, district, and national dues The hard-earned money also covered the expenses of FFA Conventions, jackets, books, coveralls, membership pins, officer's training, and the banquet. Donations were given to the Plain City Emergency Squad and the Madison County Soil and Water Conservation. Thinking of the long hours of work ahead, Keith Rapp sadly surveys crates of oranges.

Fruit Qale Reaps Large Profit Kim Farmwald was chosen as FFA Queen and was seated at the speaker's table. Friends, parents, and mem- bers of the FFA Club were treated to a delicious meal at their annual banquet served by the FHA girls. This was the night the FFA members received awards and degrees for their work and accomplishments during the school year. Mr. James Adams was recognized as the advisor, and Junior Kim Farmwald was selected by the boys as the FFA Queen. Receiving the Public Speaking Award is Sopho- more Robert Hostetler. The meal is finished and the guests, parents, and boys listen with interest about the many and varied accomplishments of the '74 FFA boys. 85 a helDin hTn8 eleinent3r ’ class- SAE President John Wilcox lends elp.ng hand to a student who doesn't seem to understand his lesson. New members were installed, empty stomachs were filled with rolls and orange juice, and members were able to talk to one another at the SAE breakfast. Name Change Takes Place in This year members of the Future Teachers of America voted to change their club's name to Students For Action In Education. (SAE). Field trips were taken to Urbana College and to the area elementary schools to observe classes. A foreign exchange student assembly was arranged for the high school by the club, and individual SAE members tutored several students. A breakfast took place, during which the 1974-75 officers were installed. Many interesting speakers provided the programs at SAE meetings. Finding an encouraging sign on her locker gives Pam Martin confidence. OOEA Prepares Girls For Business World Buses were the main means of transportation for the OOEA girls when they took different field trips. Activities of the OOEA Club consisted of conventions, breakfasts, meetings, money-making projects, and field trips. Field trips were taken to Scott's Seed Company, Ashland Chamical, Nationwide Insurance, and South High School. Social events in- cluded two trips to Dinner Theatre and ice skating. Candy, stationery, candles, and wall plaques were among the items sold during the year to earn money for the club. Advisors were Mrs. Dorothy Sayre and Mrs. Johanna Keiser. A delicious meal, good atmosphere, and a well performed play were enjoyed by the OOEA girls when they visited the Springfield Dinner Theatre. 87 Student Council Strives To Help Student Body The opinions, complaints, and suggestions of the student body were brought before the adminis- tration by the Student Council. Each class had six representatives to bring their grievances before Mr. Megna for solutions. There was often much tension in the air and tempers were lost as the Council encountered one obstacle after another in their search for improvements and changes. Changes were finally brought about in the dress code, and the film, LITTLE BIG MAN, was shown to the student body for their Christmas Program. Wherever an empty room was found, there was a possibility of a Council meeting being held inside. Meetings were led by President Danny Toops and Advisor Ms. Armstrong. Guest speakers brought in new ideas for money making projects for students. Tapped Into NH8 12 Juniors, 12 Seniors Andy Clark receives his National Honor Society pin and certificate. New members receive punch served by Brenda Cody and Patty Stalnaker. A trip to the Reynoldsburg Country Dinner Playhouse was one of the highlights of the National Honor Society. Members enjoyed a delicious meal and a good play, followed by cake and hot chocolate at Advisor Mrs. Thompson's home. In March the club attended West Jefferson High School to ob- serve the selecting of their honor students. April marked the month of Alder's NHS tapping. Twenty-four new members were chosen; twelve juniors and twelve seniors. An in- stallation party was held and-new members received pins and certificates. Newly tapped members, along with members of the faculty, enjoyed refreshments served by old NHS members. 89 La Tertulia Espanola 90 Activities of the Spanish Club were many and varied. Among them were banquets, desserts, freshman initiation, and a pinata party. Guest speakers were at several meetings and an open house was held at Advisor Ms. Lindley's home. Javier Montealegre, an exchange student from Costa Rica, shared slides and talked at several meetings. Spanish Club members enjoy singing Christmas carols as Ms. Lindley accompanies them on the piano. Stephanie Renner wonders where the pinata went. John Adorns, Lila George, and June Kidd wrap balloons with mache for their Pinata Party. Club Inspires Wrestlers To Victorious Qeason Chris Staley supports her one very special wrestler at the JA Tournament. Wrestling Club was small in size but loud in the noise it made at rallies. Enthusiasm is contagious as shown by Chris Graumlich, a very young, but big, fan of the wrestlers. A new addition to the JA clubs this year was the Wrestling Club. Captain Debbie Hoy and Co- Captain Dorothy Scheiderer headed the meetings, with Mrs. Keith and Mrs. Hopkins acting as advisors. Sparking much enthusiasm among the wrestling fans, the club painted signs and purchased T-shirts for the wrestlers and for themselves. Bake sales, selling programs, and transistor radio raffles were money-making projects. Ski Club Travels to Belfontain Skiing to the bottom of the slope without falling is a big achievement to beginner Scott Longworth. After the first few lessons, Jim Cunningham dis- covers that he feels a little more sure of himself. Free Tuesday evenings, forty- two dollars, and the ability to handle falls were the main ne- cessities of the Ski Club members. Six lessons were given at Valley High Ski Resort in Belfontain with equipment rental included in the forty-two dollars. Although many of the members were inexperienced it did not hinder them from enjoying themselves. The newly organized club con- sisted of nine members with the advisor being Ms. Armstrong.

Gridmen Rush to 9-0 Mark, Gary Vowell chugged and churned for 1,240 yards and and ALL-OHIO honors. Coach Don Morrison needed only three years to build a championship. In this his third year the Pioneers not only won the DVL but also overpowered all nine of its opponents. Alder accepted die challenge of the 1972 Pioneers to better their statistics and ended the year with an excellent showing of 31.44 points offensively and only 3.11 points defensively per game. Ten Pioneers received post-season honors for their outstanding offensive and defensive play Honorable Mention All-DVL recipients were J. Cunningham and D. Thomas. All-DVL included J. Berry, J. Adams, B. Harbage, P. Raber, S. Snyder, and J. Hilliard. B. Schrock and G. Vowell received second and first team Central District UPI honors. ran Raber, MVP on offense, blocked well enough to make the All-DVL team. Coach Morrison achieved his 9-0 mark with help from coaches and managers. t Alder's offense knocked a lot of opponents down on its way to 2710 yards, total offense, 311 yards per game and five all-DVL or honorable mention honors. Six are Shutouts A gang-tackling defense held the opponents to 28 points, 3.11 pts. per game. Scott Snyder, a MVP, was often by himself to stop a TD or intercept a pass. New Coach, New Theory Action beneath the boards was often hard and rugged, as shown by the face of Jim I royer against WJHS. John Adams of Fairbanks sports a bandage as he and Dana Dunmire watch Mike Bakenhaster grab an often hard-to-get offensive rebound. Even if you can’t win every game you can come close. Though Alder was 7-12, eight of the games were won or lost by five points or less to show how close the Pioneers came to a 500 season. Lackluster or sporadic could be two words to describe Alder's season. One week the Pioneers would win a close game and look good. But then the next week they would get behind and stay behind, playing without desire or unity. In the few games that Alder got it together they united the talents of those on the floor. Rick added his defense, Andy his ball handling, Jolin his rebounding, and Bud his all around steady play. Together with the talents of the other players and the theories of Coach Tom Bise, the Pioneers provided a few evenings of excitement and a few big wins. The future looks good with five returning varsity players and the promising reserves and freshmen under the coaching talents of Coach Doug Carpenter. Bud Schrock flips in an easy layup at the end of an Alder fast break. yield Up, Down Season It was a happy locker room at Grove City after Alder rose to the occasion to beat Westfall in the Sectionals. Guards Rick Adkins and Ted Miller display how quick passes change to points. Former Alder stars, like Roger Pinney, Jerry Dhume and Dick Murray, provided a post-season game for the varsity. John Burchett rebounded, dove for the ball and hustled his way to All-DVL. Perfect Record, State Champ Tom Beddow strains and struggles to reverse Edelstein at the sectional.

Attentive doctors, coaches and managers prevent losses because of injury. Highlight Wrestling Season There are few sports like wrestling where one matches strength, knowledge, and desire against an opponent. This year's wrestling team had great desire and experience. Coach Ron Hopkins with his dedicated seniors and fastly improving underclassmen swept all ten of their dual and triangular meets. The matmen also faired well in tournaments, winning the DVL and the Jonathan Alder Invitational. At the Sectional the squad as a whole placed second and sent eight grapplers to the District; Kenny McCabe, Steve Stalnaker, John Wilcox, Dan Toops, Tony Kuhns, Rob Weese, John Hilliard, and Tom Beddow. Steve Stalnaker in his third trip to the state tourney brought home the 119-lb. Class A-AA crown. A day of tournament matches leaves Tony Kuhns tired, but trying and determined. Winning wasn't enough, Steve cinched his state title with a third period pin. Danny Toops has experienced the joy of victory and the agony of defeat. Thin-Clad Talent Pays Off in Sixth Title in Seven Years All eyes are on Gary Vowell as he crosses the finish line at the DVL. From the beginning of the year the track team dedicated itself to winning the DVL and bringing the championship back to Alder where it belongs. The spirit was willing and the determina- tion high, but sometimes the body just wouldn't respond. Early season times and distances were nothing to shout about. Nevertheless, the boys never let up and continued to work. Times and distances steadily improved and almost all the boys peaked at the DVL. Six boys received All-DVL honors for plac- ing first at the meet; 880 yard relay, John Hilliard, Bernie North, John Wilcox, and Gary Vowell; 440 yard dash, Lawrence Nunamaker; Mile relay, Bernie North, Johnnie Wood, John Hilliard, and Lawrence Nunamaker; and discus.

One-Run Games Prove to Andy Clark proved to be a work horse, pitching a total of 83 2 3 innings. Bud Schrock is off at the crack of the bat towards first in hopes of successfully scoring another run. What can hurt a pitcher’s record and a team's chance for a championship more than anything else? Losing one-run ball games will do it every time. Alder lost seven one-run games, almost all of which can be attributed to errors in crucial moments. Before the season started, people were saying that this was the year for Alder. They were going to fit it all together. They were a team filled with experience and senior leadership. Of the seven returning lettermen, five were seniors. The line-up abounded with hitters for power and average, including Scott Snyder, Bud Schrock, Phil Raber, Larry Kuhns, and Duane Mast. New faces helped to improve the team. Dave Sommers, Steve Yoder, and Don Schrock filled in three key positions. Scott Snyder was named Most Valuable Player by his teammates. Kuhns and B. Schrock reached All-DVL and Central District Class A Honors. Don Schrock provided a big target behind home plate, moving Scott Snyder to third, his natural position. 104 Be Detrimental to Diamondmen Scott provided power at the plate and produced runs. Because of his hustle and skill, he was named MVP. In times of trouble, conferences on the mound help solve the problems and give the team time to think. Duane got on base to score, whether by a hit, walk, or being hit. Being alert at short stop enables Lary Kuhns to make a good throw to first. 105 Alder linksters made it three in a row. Young and old players combined to bring the third consecutive DVL title to Alder. Brad Stoker and Dana Dunmire were the only returning lettermen. Young members offering solid play were Mark Williams, Mark DeVol, Vicki Yoder, and Eric Snyder. Inconsistent play, a bout with tonsillitus, a broken wrist, and suspensions caused the golfers to have an unstable season. Lew Butterfield, Mark Lambka, and Mike Hilbert gained valuable experience from reserve matches and practices with the varsity.

Mrs. Ross tells the reserve to go out and show Greenview what they can do. Bump, set and spike” was the slogan of the young members on the 1973 volleyball team. The inexperienced underclassmen were coached by a new FACE at Alder, Mrs. Pat Ross. Even though the varsity volleyball team had a 3-4 season and the reserves a 4-3 season, volleyball proved to be a learning experience for both the new and returning members. Improvement was the key word after the first few games. But the girsl weren't always serious. There were times when you would walk in the gym at 7 a.m. and wonder if it was really a volleyball team with some girls clowning around and ' thers just trying to stay awake. It really was a successful season with an overall average of 7 wins and 7 losses.

Upcoming events and the brisk weather are discussed by Mrs. and Sue Bischoff during the track meet. Ross Athletics Enjoyable Sue Ripley combines her physical and mental strength to win the shot put. Girls' track requires dedication from every indi- vidual who participates. You must be determined and patient to run through the strenuous practices every night after school, and work until you are satisfied with your technique and performance. Practice paid off for the young and inexperienced girls on the 1974 track team. Every meet gave the girls an opportunity to prove themselves. The team gained much respect from their opponents and spectators. The season was successful in that the tracksters finished second at the West Jeff Triangular and first at a triangular meet over Mechanicsburg and Southeastern. Alder placed fourth out of eleven teams and set a new meet record in the discus at the West Jeff Invitational, and captured fifth place at the Licking Heights Invitational. The added ump just wasn't enough for Becky Damron to win the discus. Cathy sprints for a close second in the 80-yard hurdles to add more points for their win over Mechanicsburg.

Four Qets of Cheerleaders Just how valuable a cheerleader is to her school can not be measured. Or can it? They don’t keep statistics on cheerleaders - 3 good cheers for Alder to 2 good cheers Fairbanks, as they do in sports - 2 assists or 3 interceptions. If it is to be measured, how then? Athletes like to be watched. They want someone in back of them giving them encouragement. Cheerleaders are the outlet of a schools' support This is how their value is measured. This year’s four sets of cheerleaders backed their respective teams thru thick or thin; winning or losing. They practiced for long hours after school, put candy in lockers, and even got up early in the morning to prepare Breakfast of Champions . The athletes of Alder owe the cheerleaders a great debt of thanks for giving as much of them- selves for the sports and school. Denise’s face seems to say, Yes, may I help you? during a breakfast of champs. Cheerleaders provided enter- tainment after breakfast.

She was head cook at the high school for seventeen years. We'll remember her in many ways. Whether she was serving banquets, supervising the band food stand at the Plain City Fair or surprising the teachers with cake or pie on their birthday. Doris will be remembered for her cheerful smile. She is sadly missed by stu- dents and teachers. Frightened Freshmen � auuo miner seems to M freshman Phys.

We have tried to capture these FACES of enthusiasm, sadness, victory, defeat, foolishness, concentration, happiness, and love in the pages of this POWDERHORN. The POWDERHORN STAFF of 1974
