Many of us remember the year of English we had with Mr. Games We remember that he was sincerely interested in the individuals in his classes We remember that he wanted us to learn, to grow, and to excel We also remember how devoted he was to the football team. He wanted to teach them more about life than just winning. He is loved and respected by all because he is the person he is. For these reasons we dedicate this '77 yearbook to you, Mr. Earl Games ) f NeW Never Forger 4 - I :OLS leisure times. The things that happen during our four years in high school - whether it's trying to learn the differ- ent parts of a flower in biology class; spending half- time in the locker room, or listening to the coach's advice. Lunch time is something that you look for- ward to because it's a time to talk to the other teachers or like, Debbie Schlabach trying to get ful- fillment from her lunch. Well Never Forget. . . As a freshman one feels very insecure, but once you get into the swing of things it's not so bad. So many different classes to choose - there is noth- ing strange about boys being in a home economic class, learning to cook or sew. Getting involved in the play helps to become better known by others. ■R learning experiences n friendships activities Whatever it may be, there is something for everyone, to enjoy and to be proud. Whether it's being on the homecoming court; a cheerleader; a smiling teacher; going to the Christmas Prom with a friend; or just being one of the art students who painted the lobby windows. the winning and the losing There are many involved in making athletic activities suc- cessful. It can be a member of the marching band, volleyball team, football team, or a spec- tator watching the majorettes perform during a basketball half- time. It also takes a dedicated individual like Roger Troyer to be a good wrestler. Being able to work together as a team develops good sports characteristics. 3 M r: . - We 'II Never Forger. i.m -f JvW v; ISgSpfSl Wfp 'C'K 'i 3'it WMmm mmte Seniors The memories keep building Each day can be a start Or making new and happy ones To store within the heart. i u'l Seniors '77 i r V I Twenty-First Graduating 2 Class of Jonathan Alder High School Class Officers Scott Loy - President Dwight McCabe - Vice-President Melanie Yutzy - Treasurer Regina Yutzy - Secretary Class Flower Class Color Class Motto Daisy Regal Blue Light Blue I am not afraid of tomorrow for I have seen yesterday, and I love today!

Early season injuries and lack of depth plagued the Pioneers as they fell to their first five foes. They finally got it together for the next two games, soundly defeating Greenview and Cedarville. Defeat was the story again for the next three games until winning the final game over Olentangy. Six seniors drew All-D.V.L. honors; Phil Meeker, Don Schrock, Tim Raber, Jeff Hilliard, Jeff Rad- cliff, and Reg Adams. The reserve team felt similar problems early in the season and were faced with an 0-2-1 record until bouncing back in the last three to finish 3-2-1. The real success of the season was felt at the emo- tional awards assembly. A unity was seen that sel- dom is experienced between any coach and team. This, being Games' final year as head coach, pro- vided a fitting climax to a fine career. 1976-77 FOOTBALL TEAM r ■ 1 Coach Games and captain Don Schrock discuss halftime strategy. 2 Yes, even the Jube” needs repairs after the game. down 3 There are many things to do while waiting on the bench, like having a stare (Ken Kuhns - Jeff Hilliard) 4 4 The Pioneers took some hits, but no more than they gave out. 5 Halfback Tim Raber shows how its done up the middle.

This was a familiar cheer led by the spirited vivacious volleys. With high spirits, high goals and super teamwork the J.A. volleyball team definitely earned the D.V.L. title. Having the enthu- siastic leadership of Miss Lynne Gatsch the team finished out the year with a 9-5 game average. Also the rambunctious reserves had an above average year and captured the D.V.L. title. — BUMP Smile, you're on camera.

Fresh- man Jay Ferguson came on strong at times when he was really needed and was able to earn his varsity letter. Newly acquired tenth grader Mike Burch immediately fit into the starting five to earn a let- ter. Senior Mark Diles received the Most Improved Player award and his letter.

Carrying your bag is work. Coaching improves putting A smooth backswing . ' New Coaches for a New Season The building up of a young team proved to be a challenge for coach Lynn Gatsch. With five of the eleven players in their first year of basketball, the team really had a promising season. Mrs. Precek became the reserve coach. Both the coach and team agree that this year was a learning experience. The Finn, the Frosh, three giants, was the name given this year’s basketball team in a very impressive sports story, and was good reason to be impressed. The roundballers compiled a suc- cessful 16-G record, were sectional champions, and lost only to runner- up Ridgedale in the District semi- finals. Dwayne Clark and Glen Prater drew all-D.V.L. honors and Jay Ferguson received honorable men- tion. Team high scorer Glen Prater also played in the district all-star game.

Time-out strategy led the Pioneers to many a victory. Experience paid off for this year's wrestling Pioneers as they finished sixth in the state tournament under the dedi- cated coaching of Bob Seaquist. The trail blazed by the Pioneers included finishing first, third, and sixth at major tournaments, league champs, dis- trict runner-ups, and sixth at state. Individual awards included 9 championships, 17 place finishes, 3 most-valua- ble awards, 9 All-D.V.L. titles, one state champ, and one state runner-up. Rodger Troyer, Jeff Hilliard, and Mike Stalnaker repre- sented Alder at the state tourney, with Mike bringing home Alder's fourth state championship and Jeff receiving runner- up honors. New assistant coach Dennis Kondrich gained experience along with a young reserve team, finishing with a favorable record. Senior team members and Coach Seaquist shared a special relationship in that all have been together since Seaquist came to Alder three years ago. wrestling WRESTLING TEAM 5.

Winning a state championship trings out the best in the fans. 57 The 1977 Pioneer Diamondmen finished their sea- son under the 500 mark with a 5-8 record. The opening games sparked some hope for a suc- cessful season, winning three of the first four, and only narrowly losing the fourth. But the tide turned as Alder dropped seven of the last nine. Captain award went to senior Reg Adams. On base leader and high batting average both went to senior players Phil Meeker and Tim Raber. 1977 Baseball Team tennis 1977 Varsity Team Rookie tennis coach Andy Lombardo led a young Pioneer racquet team to a 1-9 record this year. Lombardo considered it a building year and looks forward to a fine team next year, losing only two seniors.

Mike Madry realized his potential and finished sixth in the 440 yard dash.

Many activities made a fun- filled year for Y-Teens. The year opened up with the little sister picnic where the Freshmen were sold for initia- tion. They were required to do some sort of entertainment for the group. The installation potluck dinner proved to be enjoyed by all who attended. Many dishclothes were sold to make the Christmas Prom suc- cessful. The theme was It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year. ” Other activities included a hayride and a program by Sil- ver Shear in Hilliard. The year ended with the annual picnic. Lana Griffith decided to be very adventurous. Wherever the food was, Cheryl Graumlich was there too! 79 Introducing the new cookie monster - Mike Roby. This year's Hi-Y Club fell prey to a short year and meeting changes. Several major projects had to be scrapped but the activities which did materialize like the hay- ride in the fall and the picnic in the spring were greatly enjoyed. Officers of the club were Don Schrock, President; Dwight McCabe, Vice-Presi- dent; Ben Graber, Secretary and George Birkhold Treasurer.

The reason why the F.F.A. is such a success everything into it. is that F.F.A. had their annual fruit sale during November and December. Each member went to a lot of trouble, but it brought about a great success. The main event of the year was the F.F.A. Banquet on April 5. It was an exciting evening and everyone enjoyed it. For seven members, the National F.F.A. Convention in Kansas City was the highlight of the year. The F.F.A. went on many field trips to broaden their scope of interest and make this year an effective one. F.F.A. Officers for 1976-1977. F.F.A.

Joyce Mast was the driver to the shopping center. Halfbreed Rick Elmore had to have his makeup on just right to make his onstage appearance effective. These two clowns, Vicki and Tami, they need something extra. seem to think Weekend Entertainment The Spring Play was made up of two one-acts and two short skits.

Curriculum Little bits and pieces Of laughter mixed with tears Written through the years. ■mil... Under Mr. Hay's supervi- sion, Industrial Art students undertook varied projects with the highlight of the year being the building of three dining tables and selling them. This year the cuniculum in Vo-Ag included the study of crops and beef cattle. Mr. Adams is the instructor in this course. A big change in both departments is th,_. enrollment of more girls. Girls, you've come a long way to get into Shop. 120 Shop gave Ken Kuhns the chance to put ms talents to work. o-Ag, Shop Prepare Students for Future Studying on your own is an important part of Vo-Ag. dent is his blue jacket. Vo-Ag is active, as Mark Watson knows. Everyone participated in the classroom. The Communications class, with the help of Miss Tritonoff, presented a WAKY radio station program to the school during lunch period. Tit Modern Writers covered many interesting topics. Jukka Nikula, our Finish exchange student, added variety to Speech class. All work and no play? Never in College Prep English! 122 WAKY, New Project for Communications Class There are many classes from which to choose in the English Department. If you like to write, speak, or read there are courses for which you may enroll. WAKY, a new radio station presented by the Communications class, entertained students on their lunch hour every Friday, during the first se mester. The student publication, REFLECTIONS, writ- ten and published by the Creative Writing class, proved to be a success. Outdoor classroom made Drama interesting. Miss Pursel, a new addition to the English curriculum, taught Speech, Drama and other sub- jects. To make their Creative Writing class successful, these two decided to create a new classroom. 123 English Courses Tailored for All i Creative Writing class offered opportunity for quiet self-expression. Journalism class prepared the Pioneer Press, the school newspaper. Dwayne Clark looked forward to Reading for Pleasure. ■ Shelly Thompson always had an j Informative speech. 124 The Spanish spoken in this class was sometimes interesting! Spanish Acquaints Us With Foreign Cultures Upon entering Spanish class you'd think you were in a dif- ferent world as all conversa- tion in this class is Spanish. Many interesting activities took place including attending a Ballet Folklorico of Mexico. 125 Is Jerry Sparks daydreaming in Spanish or English?

When in doubt ask the expert, Miss Pursel. Homework is an important part of every class. A new teacher Miss Pursel cre- ated an enthusiastic classroom for students in French. Interest was aroused by acting out puppet shows and watching movies on French costumes. Janice Yoder and John Price took part in French I, and Kim Taylor and Cheryl Armentrout took part in French II in the Scholastic Achievement tests given at Ohio State University. 127 When Home Ec students returned to school this year, they were pleasantly surprised with many new things. New Viking sewing machines were installed in the sew- ing department. New cookware, silverware, and dishes were added to the kitchens. Also for class use many audio visual aids were intro- duced. The appearance of the Home Ec department is changing. A visitor walking into the class would be sur- prised by the large number of boys enrolled in the classes. For the first time in Alder's his- tory the Betty Crocker Award was won by the strong sex, Tracy Troyer. Bachelor living develops many gourmet cooks! Tracy Troyer Wins When there's two helping, the job gets done quicker. Along with all the work that goes into cooking, comes the enjoyment of eating what you have prepared. 128 Betty Crocket-Award m I ever she°co dd a helping hand when- Y „,j rou need cheerfulness to be a successful cook. 129 insignis to government were taught in History World Evenis Analyzed in History History wasn't always exchange student Tina's favorite. TIME magazine provided relaxa- 4 tion for POD classes. 130 Being an election year, Mr. Carpenter's POD class held their own mock presidential election. A new teacher added to the History Dept., Mr. Andy Lombardo, organized the Trivia Bowl, a first for Alder. Winners were Homer Logan, Kay Kekenes and Kim McKee. The Trivia Bowl, a first for Alder, was won by this team. Sometimes POD got to be more than Susie Slabaugh could handle. Making History a fun learning experience was Mr. Carpenter's job. Intensive Office Education Wilf Change This year for the first time, there were only 14 girls enrolled in Junior l.O.E. This means that the department will lose its state funding. Next year the course will be changed to a General Business program. Whatever the problem, a friend can help. 132 To a General Business Curriculum.

Motivate Inquiring Minds Does Lisa Wellman use Biology class for concentration on the flower or the boy next door? Carefulness and expertise was taken by these two to make the experi- ment a successful one. Newly added to the biology curriculum was a genetics and evolution unit and a biology of man unit. Of course, chemistry class will never forget the day that Mark McClish started a small fire when the top came off of the bunsen burner. The highlights of the year was the Christmas project. The phys- ics class made ice cream and chemistry class made candy canes. Wonder what I do next? The Mixed Chorus activities are many and varied. Would you believe that along with singing, they must sharpen their sales skills. Each member was expected to sell caramel candy and peanuts to buy blazers for the group. The Chorus successfully presented a Charley Brown Musical. Adding variety to the class were Rob Anderson and Vicki Yoder, directors. fe . iiife ' 1 To accompany a song well, it takes concentration as well as patience. Many Giuden Ate Involved in Music These three learned that practice makes perfect. As usual, Ben Graber added a lot of excitement to the band practices. This year for the first time, the band did not attend camp. The procedure was changed and practices were held at the high school August 23 through 27 from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily. The success of the band was exemplified by com- ments from the visiting teams. During a band performance, Mr. Starrett introduces the next num- ber. 137 Anyone trying to replace as good a teacher as Mrs. Thompson would find it difficult but Mrs. Cooke handled the situation very well. Together she and Mr. DeMooy taught Algebra I and II, College Math, Geometry, and Business Math. They monitered the National Math Contest in which Jukka Nikula placed first. Power of Number Explained in Mathematics College Math was a challenge for many seniors. Algebra requires your fullest attention at all times. Proving difficult theorems was Rob Anderson's specialty. When Geometry became help you understand. a problem, Mr. DeMooy was always there tc 138 Art Brings Relaxation to Qtudents Michelle Ely, with Mr. Cooke's supervision, has become one of the bet ter art students. Visitors to our school are often impressed with the many, colorful posters displaying current events at Alder. This year for the first time, the lobby windows were beautifully painted - from Fall displays for Homecoming to Christmas scenes. This behind-the-scenes work is attributed to Mr. John Cooke and the Art students. Clever posters made by Art students are displayed around the school in recognition for outstanding athletes and also for students excelling scholastically. The lobby bulletin board this year has had many clever cartoons. These are a project of the Art department. Working with clay has become more popular in the Art Department this year. sica Depp. 139 Private School Takes Control of Driver's Ed. The Driver's Education at Alder was taken over by Town and Country Driving School. The actual classroom time was taught 4A, B and C with only one semester of instruc- tion. This enables many stu- dents to complete this impor- tant course of study. The first semester was taught by Kay Lynch aided by Jeff Bordner in the actual driv- ing. Second semester. Peg Ruth completed the course. A good student must be able to change a tire successfully. Phys. Ed. G Coed A new format, as well as a new teacher, was acquired by the Phy Ed department. Classes are now coed. This made the classes very differ- ent and most interesting. Miss Gatch, in her first year at Alder and Mr. Willoughby shared the responsibilities of health and phy ed.

Sometimes group discussion can solve whatever problem there seems to be. In room 20 activities were many and varied this year. Under the supervision of a new teacher, the Special Education group cooked and served a Thanksgiv- ing dinner for the faculty, sold tomato plants, and sponsored a car wash. As a reward for a fine year, the class took a field trip to the Columbus Zoo and Amusement Park.

With a combined total of 68 years of teaching experi- ence , the educational excellence of these teach- ers will be sorely missed. Through their diligence and fine example of scholarship, they have set an example for colleagues, students, and commu- nity. We have all benefited greatly through our contacts with them.

The memories keep building Each day can be a start Or making new and happy ones To store within the heart. The times we did our best Excitement of the victories The disappointment of defeat We'll always have our memories. The friendships we remember Mistakes that we regret The ending of a love affair We never could forget. Little bits and pieces Of laughter mixed with tears Paragraphs and pages Written through the years. The carefree days of childhood The growing pains of youth A few illusions shattered In the endless search for truths. Yes, memories are happenings Each one a different kind Each one a separate chapter That is printed on the mind. Seniors turn their tassels to adulthood. The '77 Yearbook staff hopes that we compiled every moment so that We'll Never Forget, because these things are what make up your high school memories. 5 204
