Jonathan Alder High School - Power Horn Yearbook (Plain City, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 228 of the 1975 volume:

The results of a successful football pro- gram are determined by a total team effort. Here at Alder, however, one man has taken a less than average program and turned it into a football power known throughout the state of Ohio. Coach Morrison's record speaks for itself. A four year record of 31 wins and 5 losses; two DVL Championships and two years as runner-up. During the 1974 season his team was rated number one in the state for six consecutive weeks, while finishing sixth in the final poll. Under his tutelage two Alder gridsmen have received All-Ohio laurels. Coach Mor- rison will be long remembered for installing the pride of achievement in J.A. football and the recognition he has brought to our school. Because of his special contributions to the athletic program at Jonathan Alder High School, the 1975 Powder Horn is dedicated to Coach Don (Butch) Morrison.

Through the many facets of school, sports, clubs, activities, classes, and friendships, the mind, body, and soul of each stu- dent develope the traits which will last him the rest of his life.

Edu rftott Cowes fti flAcuty F unS You go to school to get an education.” How many times have you heard that before? Only thing is, it's true. Each day we fill our minds with the essential information needed to prepare us for our life's work. Whether it will be teaching his- tory or programming a computer, each receives its beginning through the awakening of our minds in high school. Four hands are better than two is proved true by Girls Chris Kohl and Rick Anderson. How do I get into these messes seems to be the ques- tion on Sandy Rafferty's mind. Jenny Minshall will do almost anything to make her classes more interesting. Sometimes these guys get so wrapped up in intramu- rals they forget about lunch.

Physical Education classes and intramural sports give outlets of energy and sometimes frustrations during the day while practice after school helps develop the many teams proudly called Alder Pioneers.

Educates Future Einsteins Six subjects make up the Alder science department with three teachers handling the instruction. Col- lege-bound students usually are involved in Biology, Chemistry and Physics and become acquainted with Mr. Banyots and Mrs. Keith. Those just interested in science on a simpler level choose from Physical Sci- ence, Earth Science and Senior Science. They too, see Mr. Banyots and Mrs. Keith but also Mr. Morri- son handles a part of it. The balance between bookwork and laboratory experiments not only helps in the knowledge part of education but there is a lot of fun, too.

Early inexperience and questions have now disap- peared as the quality of the work is constantly improving. Newly added Humanities will aid those continuing their education with a solid foundation in the field of the arts. Mrs. Tehan proved to be a competent newcomer as she was a hard-working member of the English staff. The future holds even more possible additions to increase the diversified state of this department. Sandy Winston spent a lot of time doing art work for the MOSAICS Magazine. FD'STBivJi 5nSlish held many discussions which ranged from GULLIV- tK b i RAVELS to Shakespeare.

In English classes, as well as other classes, reading becomes an essential part of every assignment. Senior Seminar is a long-time sector of Alder's English program. Basically. for college-bound stu- dents, it provides experience in working on long- range projects. The second semester course entails early thoughts on your topic and later actual research and work. When everyone presents their projects at the end of the school year, the presentations are numerous and interesting. This year's speakers ranged from a mortician to a Rabbi and the topics were equally universal. Mrs. Reed keeps the classroom atmosphere entirely informal to ease the burden of revealing and presenting your topic. Speakers added variety to English 10 classes.

Keeping English 9 interesting doesn't appear to be too difficult for Mr. Earl Games, as these freshmen do not seem to be too bored with the class. 25 New innovations have been added to Alder’s Home Ec. Dept, this year. In addition to two new teachers, new courses were started. Mrs. Mary Nunley teaches Bachelor Living, Family Living, and Home Ec. 10. Bachelor Liv- ing proved to be very popular. Some boys excelled in cooking while others concentrated on the better way of ripping out incorrect stitching.'' Mrs. Sue Reiselt introduces freshmen into the world of home- making. Her educational abili- ties are tested by the fact that she teaches both upper and lower classes with equal success. Sewing in darts can be harder than it looks as Gwen Dean found out in Freshman Home Ec. class. Tim Clay always seems to cook better when he's relaxed.

Learning to thread a machine is one of the basic necessities learned by Janice, Janet and Onita Yutzy. 27 Alder’s foreign language depart- ment became bilingual this year. French was added with Mrs. Cindy Tehan doing the teaching. Ms. Lindley continued her fine work in Spanish. Workbooks, audio labora- tory and conversation contributed to the increase in work understanding and actual speech in both Spanish and French. Deeper study in these classes involved guest speakers, field trips, and reading of foreign newspapers and magazines.

Brother and sister, Kenny and Stephanie Renner both contributed to POD class but in contrasting ways. CtSb, It worked all right when they did it on TV I wonder what happened? The job of familiarizing JA's students with the his- tory and workings of the United States and its gov- ernment lies in the hands of Mr. Carpenter and Mr. Seaquist. Mr. Carpenter handles our country’s past, teaching US History and Civics while Mr. Seaquist, in POD, dwells on the government and its proce- dures. US History students went in depth on US presidents and all of them were required to make a notebook on a president. Inflation and the American economy were a large topic in POD. With both of these teach- ers constantly gaining more knowledge and experi- ence, the social studies at Alder are on the uprise. In order to accommodate the largest group of Sen- ior IOE students, four new typewriters and two new desks were purchased. Also, this was the first year the seniors worked at Lazarus taking inventory. Of the three Typing I classes offered to tenth grad- ers, there were 14 continuing on into Junior and Sen- ior IOE preparing for office occupations. The IOE specializes in General Clerical. Anyone interested in steno must take shorthand that is open to all jun- iors and seniors. Reading with his eyes shut is quite an accomplish- ment for Ken Renner.

It is safe to say that very safe drivers often emerge from the driver ed. classes at JA. ’’Now this is the carburetor, or is it the fuel pump, no it is the fan belt.” OUij Relaxing is Mark Lambka's favorite type of work. 4 Many people such as Freshman Doug Blevins found it easier to study in a corner by themselves. ,Anys Minshall takes time out from being a student librarian to finish :r homework. The new librarian, Miss Linda Trifonoff, set up new rules and guidelines for the library this year. The first 20 minutes of the period was set aside for people doing research while the second 20 minutes was for people who wanted to read or look at maga- zines. Study Hall, a word known to everyone, is something at which people spend more time trying to get out of than they do studying. Maybe next year students will get a break if we can go into a seven period day which will do away with unwanted study halls. Being up until 1:00 ''studying” makes study hall a welcome break for Tom Harsh. Cramming for a test in study hall is not an unusual occurance for Tim Daniels. 41 1974-75 PIONEERS Ct LCkcttop$ —Aw jv fectied f-figlt fw Ohio Jonathan Alder Pioneer football continued in its winning ways under the fine coaching of a dedicated Don Morrison and his very able assistants. Early in the season Alder garnered state recogni- tion as they continued the '74 winning streak while receiving high ranking in the press polls, number one in one of the two for six weeks. The Pioneers rambled and rolled for seven straight Fridays as they defeated foe after foe. Only Spring- field Central Catholic stood in the way of another undefeated season. The game was a rough one with the Irish of Spring- field coming up on top. Alder remained high in the polls, finishing in the top ten in both. Many Pioneers received post-season honors with eight landing a ALL-DVL first team or honorable mention recognition. All-Ohio Gary Vowell was landed with All-Amer- ican status and berth on the All-Ohio All Star Foot- ball Team. Messenger guard Ron Flowers received the next play from Coach Don Morrison. 44 Eight Boys Uttaekd With Post Ceasow LfouMS VowM PJctMedlb' OhtoAM Qtod T curtv 1975 Football Records Fairbanks JA Opp. 14-8 North Union 28-19 Woodrow Wilson 61-6 Southeastern 49-0 Madison Plains 35-0 Greenview 34-14 Cedarville 35-18 Springfield 7-14 Catholic Centerburg 27-6 Congratulations are in order for the following men who were all DVL in football. 1.

This change enables boys to choose between two sports to participate per season. An added attraction was the dryer weather and vacant golf courses in the fall. This year was a year of learning for Alder linksters as many were newly associated with varsity matches. 49 BASEBALL The Pioneer diamondmen turned the losing season trend of recent years and rode the tide of victory onto an 11-7 record, winning percentage of .611. Ten of the eighteen games were in the DVL. Alder put six in the win column while dropping four. JA was not without its DVL honors. Three players earned All-Darby Valley Leage recognition - Andy Clark, Jim Troyer and Don Schrock. At the end of the year during the All-Sports Ban- quet awards were announced for the Most Valuable Player, Times on Base Leader, Captain, and the recognition of next year's captain (as voted for by the team). Two of the awards went to Don Schrock, MVP and Times on Base. Statistics back up these awards. He led the team in batting, runs, doubles, hits, hits With the year's end Andy Clark stepped down as captain and Duane Mast stepped into the leadership role.

First year coach Bob Seaquist aided with the fact of having just been in college molded youth into matu- rity quickly to keep the newly founded Alder tradi- tion very much alive and fighting. Young grapplers soon transformed their desires to win into results after going through, dedicatedly, skill broadening practices and scrimmages. Competing in the District for Alder were Roger Troyer, Dana Meyers, and Captain Joh Hilliard. Jeff Miller emerged as a alternate after placing fourth. Meyers and Troyer represented Alder well, plac- ing third in Distrct competition. Hillary went on to the state as Alder's sole qualifier. On his way to the state tourney John Hillard’s arm is raised in victory. 57 1974-75 RESERVE SQUAD Fowi Ck Mtog QqaoJs Qw iCtfo Alder cheerleaders play an important part in the success of Pioneer teams. Not only do they add their vocal support to the teams but encourage all others, students and adult fans, to get behind the boys. The role of a cheerleader starts as a freshman, with tryouts before the entire school. They progress from reserve to varsity and so do their skills, to enthuse and promote school spirit. Duties are numerous;, practice after school, signs and candy for the lockers, breakfasts of champions, and huge banners. T Close by the mat the Wrestling Cheerleaders root their grapplers to victory. Carla Rausch, Tammy Rushs, Susan Bischoff, Kay Church, Julie Graber, and Captain, Beth Strayer. The long road to become a varsity cheerleader starts as a freshman with practice upon practice . . . 59 QfjVut Ualms RESERVE CHEERLEADERS: Larua Ridgeway, Sharon Whitley, Sue Williams and Tressia Phillips Varsity and Reserve cheerleaders lead the Pep Band to a vigorous Pet Meeting. FRESHMAN CHEERLEADERS: Rhonda Winston, Wanda Beachy, Tammy Hill, Lisa Meeker, and Tammy Barton. All of Alder stands, even the football team, when the cheerleaders ask, What's the Alder battle cry? Andy Clark protects the ball as he drives in. Shooting and rebounding are two important parts of the game and each player is there to do his job. Defense is just as important as offense. The foe appears trapped, sur- rounded by four Alder roundballers. 62 1 Cmscm With Big WIN!!! VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM Alder players have an eye for the round ball. Mike is only closer than Doug. Jonathan Alder began its season with aged veterans and youth mingled amongst the hopes and expecta- tions of a good year. Under the second year tutelage of Coach Tom Bise the Pioneers played team basketball and competed handsomely in the DVL, winning some big ones and losing some. The boys were very rarely out of a game, by score or spirit, and often battled back to make a game seemingly lost into a fierce contest. Andy Clark and Jim Troyer received All-DVL hon- ors while Mike Bakenhaster was named Honorable Mention. Alder earned the praise of not only the community but state recognition as they dethroned Jeff Black and company, Canal Winchester the No. 2 ranked team in the state, to win the sectional trophy and a spot in the District. The Pioneers played their finest game to deserve the nickname giant killers as given them by the sports writers. 63 JZ C 0 Po$b-G 2 (W AQlWLHotms VARSITY RECORD J. A.

Only two seniors lent themselves to the freshman laden team. The less than average season record can be contributed to the youth and lack of veterans. Though things wee disappointing at times, fresh- men and first year members gained valuable knowl- edge from competing against upperclassmen. At the DVL tourney at Cedarville Alder’s young squad didn't sparkle but there is a glimmer of hope for next year. Of the fifteen events Alder thinclads placed in all fifteen, not first or secod but fourth, fifth and sixth. John Hilliard placed first in the discus throwing it 135'6 - a new record.

Nine intramural championships were offered through the year keeping the gym filled with players and specta- tors. The Farmers, the Bom Losers, and the Physics softball team faced the faculty in fall, winter, and spring sports spectaculars that provided entertain- ment for students and faculty and a break from the normal school day routine.

First and second runner-ups, in the voting for the queen, were designated as princesses to the queen. Queen Kim Farmwald was flanked by Sally Yoder and Carla Rausch as the new layout was introduced. The weatherman did his best to prevent a success- ful evening as cold, rainy weather prevailed throughout Friday's ' ceremony . However, his attempts were in vain for despite the inclimate weather the festivities were performed at near per- fection. Friday's monsoon didn't slow the Alder foot- ball squad either as they responded with a 49-0 thrashing of Southeastern. Saturday night closed out Homecoming for this year as the gym, decorated to the theme Septem- ber Moonbeams was filled with music as both a feeling of sadness and relief was felt because Home- coming weekend was finally finished.

They step right In fall with the slave auction and picnic where freshman members are sold to upperclassmen. These 'slaves' are forced to dress up in strange clothes, perform daring deeds and some work for their masters. After this concludes the biggest project of the Y-Teen year just begins. The Christmas prom is an annual event on the Y- Teen agenda. This year's prom was under the theme Toyland” and everyone had a memorable winter evening. Their year concludes with the picnic at Metropolitan Park. Softball, badminton, hiking and lots of food were the order of the day for this event. Of course, for all these they had to raise lots of money and during their meetings - between singing and laughing they organized many projects that pro- vided the currency needed. Doubling as cook, Ann checks the hot dogs. Chuck and Kenny are ready to eat them. The smorgasbord of food at the picnic left few people hungry and many feeling sickly. Pi Hi-Y Club To serve the community is the Hi-Y tradition. This years group in the Hi-Y was no exception. Some of the services performed were: a wrestle-a- thon that raised nearly $400 for the Heart Fund: the everyday raising and lowering of the school flag; and painting the aisles in the football bleachers. This club was noted for their organized hard-working traits that provided hard work while having fun at the same time. Hi-Y isn't all work and no play, as shown by Dwight’s and Robert’s faces. fCey To QujCC6SS f-ti-YCdub Hard working men were easily found at the Wrestle-a-thon, which raised nearly $400 for the Heart Fund.

They combine personal goals with commu- nity service. These men are more than just farmers of years to come. Five of their members attended the National FFA convention in Kansas City where the featured speaker was President Gerald Ford. More honors were bestowed in our organization when the Parliamentary Procedure team placed third in the district contest, receiving a bronze rating on their treasurers book, silver on the secretaries book and the highest gold rating on the reporters book. Wayne Rickard became only the fifth member in Alder's history to receive a state degree. They pro- vide the school with constant maintenance of broken articles. For example, they repaired the football bleachers early in the year. They also have the larg- est money making project year after year. Their annual FFA fruit sale is always a profitable project and the money made is used extensively. Wayne Rickard received the State Farmer Degree after four years of hard work. 99 Farmwald; Students in action for education. The Future Teachers of America is an Alder club that is basically for those seeking a future in edua- tion. A large group, three good advisors, plenty of speakers and other teaching supplements provided for the fine club it was. Throughout the year students earned points doing odd jobs for teachers - giving tests or teaching classes - striving for certificates and pins. Thirteen of Alder's FTA members obtained enough points to receive these honors. At the con- clusion of the year they sponsored the second instal- lation dessert. This event included skits, plenty of food, presentation of awards and the installation of their 1976 officers. 100 Hungry members and parents partook of desserts at the officer installation.

The Spanish Club year is highlighted by such events as the September banquet where the election of officers take place and the very popular annual pinata party. Numerous films and guest speakers add depth to both student's educational and speaking talents. These guest speakers are very qualified for the situation as they are actually from Spanish speaking provinces. This year's club have heard people from such places as Costa Rica, Chile and Bolivia. and Jeff York Dreside over all events. m The first swing at the prize filled pinata is a presti- gious, often difficult task. 103 pjeup Cows®.

Mrs. Tehan, advisor, pitched right in and at the same time kept the interest level high. The 20 students comprised mostly of freshmen and sophomores, have plans for the future with some students wanting to take a trip to France.

First the good news, 35 new members - 17 seniors and 18 juniors, were tap- ped into NHS this year. This being the first year without the quota system accounts for the large induction. Now, the bad news; after 19 years of service here at Alder, following many at Plain City, Mrs. Ethel Thompson decided to step down as NHS advisor. Leaving this position will leave someone with very large shoes to fill. New news this year was the putting on of a play by old members to show what the Society was. Activities included old members going out to the dinner theatre and new junior members ushering at commence- ment.

The group of young ladies at Alders wrestling matches shouting their heads off and acting in a gen- eral frenzy is the 1974-75 wrestling club. However their services to the grapplers goes farther than just vocal support. They work on wrestling stats through the year and provide food and drink for the hungry warriors after their bouts.

For fun they go roller skating, canoeing, sponsor faculty breakfast and OEA week where each member works for a teacher. But of all these the highlight of their year is the OEA convention. The hard work of running a candidate for a region office often turns to fun. This year their work paid off as Kim Farmwald, with great cam- paign support, won the Region IV secretarial post for the first time in Alder history.

A new piano was bought by the chorus after many hours of selling sta- tionary. In a way though, the whole school benefits from the purchase in the sense that they provide entertainment and service at many different ban- quets and programs. The Mixed Chorus followed a busy schedule this year . . . Their talents were displayed at the Lion's Club Christmas program, the Jonathan Alder Thanksgiving program and at the Union County Spring Music Festival also held at JA. A potluck banquet was held in honor of the parents of chorus members. All the parents were equally impressed with both the food served and the music presented. Practice makes perfect and these members seem to be heading toward perfection. Ptef) t ' 'Qfaiway The 1975 Jr.-Sr. prom, under the theme of Stairway to Heaven was the product of much Jun- ior Class ingenuity and hard work. The blue and white clad gymnasium with the fountain in one cor- ner and a large stairway in the other, set the mood for the evening to come. The band provided musical entertainment while the reading of wills and prophe- cies also added enjoyment. Shelly Yoder and Beth Strayer were chosen by those attending as Prom Queen and Princess respectively. When the clock struck twelve, no one turned into a pumpkin but the prom did come to a close for this year. Someone has to take tickets and Yvonne Williamson doesn't seem to mind.

Second, new advisor, Mrs. Tehan took the reins from Mrs. Reed for this year’s play and third, of course, some new actors and actresses. Despite all these first timers, this year's play was a rousing success. The play, YOU WERE BORN ON A ROTTEN DAY, dealt with astron- omy and predicting the future.

Hypnotist, Dr. Irwin Ross was sponsored by the council and the movie Jesus Christ, Superstar” was shown to the student body at Christmas.

Everyone really enjoyed the good food at the breakfast but Lida can't decide whether to eat her doughnut. Advisors Mr. Cooke and Mrs. Reed help prepare the yummy senior breakfast. In addition to the many honors and recognition seniors enjoy towards the end of the year, the Class of ’75 basked in the sunshine of Senior Week. This is a first for Alder and it took planning and work to bring it off in excellent form. The entire week was designed for the seniors to include an activity or two per day. As it was the last week for the future graduates it was naturally even more exciting and important. Tuesday started off the Week with a double senior lunch period and a night of games and activi- ties in the gym. Wednesday was T-Shirt day and the senior breakfast prepared by the faculty. Thursday followed with slop day. Friday included dress up day the the Alumni Banquet. Saturday ended the week with the Senior Class trip. The pinnacle of Senior Week was Thursday’s slop day. Outfits ranged from prison inmates to Amish couples. Friday’s highlights were dress-up day and awards assembly by day and the Alumni Banquet by night. The class trip to Mohican and San-Dar wrapped up Senior Week with a great time. Finally, Sunday was called total exhaustion day for that's what most of the Seniors felt after this hectic, but crazy and fun week. The seniors would like to express their deep grati- tude to their advisors Mrs. Beth Reed, Mr. John Cooke and Mrs. Dorothy Sayre. Their patience and hard work was necessary and appreciated greatly. The Class of 75 will always be indebted to these three wonderful people. Mr. DeMooy, Student Council Advisor, voices his appreciation to Sr. members. Seniors Jerry Yantes, Gary Thomas, and Gary Weeks dressed in their best for Senior Dress-Up Day. 184 June Kidd and Gary Thomas received the dubious honor of sloppiest of them all.

The long euchre dominated bus ride seemed boring; after the time everyone had they decided it was worth it. Many enjoyed canoeing for the first time and many more enjoyed overturning canoes dozens of times. Swim- ming, golf, tennis, the game room or just plain relaxing were also activities of the day. After working up ravenous appetites the seniors went to San-Dar Smorgasbord and their pace was slowed considerably with full stomachs. The ride home was one of more card playing, sleep- ing, and complaining of belly aches. Jim Troye knows the best way to eat a smorgasborg. gfcStBM-l This group of waiting and even wet seniors seems to be saying we’re tired of waiting for you! but Kathy Wren is already done in. an uiai iuou ai aan-uar 222 During the rain Rick, Don, and Ken kept high and dry in the lodge game room. How can you stand the long bus rides? Rest and relax- ation, cards, talk . . . A vast majority of the seniors took a slow and peaceful ride enjoying the scenic river. In actuality it wasn't peaceful. Both canoes and kids floundered. 223 The caps above are those of graduates, who have with many turns and paths. We will all follow t just received their diplomas, and have been tossed in trail of our own choosing and our pathways m gleeful exhilaration of happiness and relief. Those never cross again. But, with what is behind us a caps in the air and a diploma in hand signify the what is ahead we are prepared to meet the challen close of an era, an .important part of our life. Yet, and can look back at Alder as a door of expedenc ahead of us - the seniors lies a road vast and mighty knowledge, and awakening to that path. The Road goes ever on and on, Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow. If I can. Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way. Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say. 224 S.R.R. Tolkien
