THE TWENTY-THIRD GRADUATING CLASS OF JONATHAN ALDER HIGH SCHOOL CLASS COLOR MAROON WHITE CLASS MOTTO YESTERDAY IS BUT A MEMORY: TOMORROW IS BUT A PROMISE: BUT, TODAY IS OURS TO HOLD AND LIVE. CLASS FLOWER PINK ROSE REFLECTIONS Yeah, I'm a senior, so what about it? So there's only two weeks left of school, and then I’m out in the big world. Can’t wait until gradua- tion night . . . it’s gonna be great, I'll cruise up front, grab that diploma, says, thanks buddy, and run. S’pose I don’t know where I’m run- ning to, though. Before, all I did was follow the rest of those darn rowdies. I knew I could always find someone at a game, a party, on the Amish 500, or chowing down at the Dairy Queen after school. But now it’s gonna be dif- ferent. We’re all going to take off and try to make it on our own. Listen to this joke — let- ting graduation get to him after twelve years of being a hard guy. Oh, geez . . . Yea, it’s time to make the scene in class . .. guess I might even miss that when it’s over. Check ya later. Thanks, see ya, bye. It’s graduation and it’s unbelievable that I’m here They’ll call my name in a few minutes, and I'll walk up to receive my diploma . . . where do I go from there? I’ve always had the security of the school routine and its activities, surrounded by the friends I was so familiar with. Now we’ll all be going in different directions, and I wonder how long it will be before the memories that meant so much start to fade After twelve years of this you would think I would be ready to move on, but I feel like I’m leaving a part of me behind Maybe that's good though, because I really have changed in the three years that I’ve been here. Well, pretty soon they’ll get to my name. Then I'll be up there, and it’ll be all over. In a way, I guess everything's really just beginning SENIORS Sam Bowers Denise Beachy George Birkhold Sam Bowers doesn’t appear very eager to begin practice Brett Adams — Ftbl 1,2, 3. Mgr 4 Hi-V 1,2.

The team fell short of their goal but fin- ished 5-4-1 improving the previous season’s 3-7 mark. The team moved up from tenth place last year to a tie for fourth this year. The team played with great attitude and great inten- sity in each of their games. Many individuals contributed to a true team effort. Jerry Livesay and Steve Vowell were rewarded for their fine play on defense with Honorable Mention to the All-State team. Jerry along with tailback Mike Madry gained All-League honors. Kenny Kuhns was the Offensive Player of the Year and Jerry Livesay was the Defensive Player of the Year. Slot- back John Bower contributed his talents in each game and was named Most Improved Player of 1978. With a very experienced sen- ior class graduating, the Pioneers will struggle to fill many positions. S T I r r 1 The expression on Coach Phillips’ face is one of confidence 2.

No football player will be able to forget the overwhelming joy of up-downs”. m� GOLFERS FAIL TO SINK WINNING PUTT The Golf Team struggled through another disappointing season winning only three out of thirteen matches. The varsity team consisted of six juniors. Of those six, four had never partici- pated in varsity competition. Captain Jay Ferguson had a very promising season. With a stroke average of forty-two per nine holes, Jay was most fre- quently the team medalist. His hard work rewarded him in the sectionals as his score qualified him for the district. All six regulars will be returning in 1979, and with hard work the season looks prom- ising. 1 Jay and Lawrence seem little to such a vast course. 2. With skill, finesse, and concentration.

Ah, not another special drill, Ms. Gatsch. This and other complaints were heard after long practices, scrim- mages, drills, and running, but “prac- tice makes perfect,” so the old clich6 goes. Jonathan Alder Volleyball team finished up with a 7-5 record. With a fourth place finish in the CBL, the team was a feared league contender up until the very end of the season. Kelly Hommon was selected to the All-CBL team for her second year. Julie Mitchell and Terri Mullet both received Honorable Mentions. Alder’s Reserve Volleyball team, coached by Ms. Roberta Olsen, con- cluded the season with an 8-4 record. They finished 3rd in the league, mak- ing them the leading contenders for next year’s season. 1 Senior Kelly Hommon guards the net 2. 1978-79 Varsity Volleyball Team 3.

JA is that team and Doug Carpenter is that coach. It helps to have great players like Jay Ferguson and Mike Sweeney who were both All-League. Jay was named Honorable Mention to the All-State team. Mike was Hon- orable Mention to the All-District team. Great teams have players like Kenny Kuhns who have the desire to give one hundred per- cent at all times and no less. Good tall centers are essential for perfection — Tom Hilbert fills that category. Juniors Jeff Hess and Jerry Whitmer entered the start- ing five over older experienced players. The last thing to mention, which in many cases should be the first, is the bench. Mike Madry, Mike Roby, Andy Thomas, Richard Blythe, Greg Collier, and Robert Johnson who motivate the team when they are down. 20-3 District Champions — The JA Basketball Team is a great team. 1 Coaches Lombardo and Carpenter are lubilated 2 The look on Tom's face tells it all 3 Strategy is a must for all great teams 4 Classic players like Jay are rare and rich in talent. 5 Mike Sweeney adds a certain style which thrills the crowd 6 A moment of allegiance before the biq event a Aiders bench provides more cheers than the crowd 50 7 1. Kenny was a major factor in the win over Ready. 2. The basic skills of defense are common knowl- edge to Mike Roby. 3. Mike Madry could intimidate anyone. 4. Bench support is essential to mold a great team. 5. No one seems to want the ball. 6. 1979 Freshman Basketball Team: Kneeling: Coach Andy Lombardo.

GIRLS SHARE CBL TITLE Determination is the best word to describe the Varsity Basketball team. They shared the tri-CBL title this year with North Union and Big Walnut. Ms. Lynn Gatsch was the coach for the lady Pioneers who finished with a 15-4 season. Kelly Hommon and Judy Purdum were named All-CBL. Lisa Beachy received Honorable Mention along with sen- ior Elaine Miller. The reserve team was coached by Mr. Bill Bryant who feels that next year’s team will be great with its experi- ence. 1 Mary Birkhold put everything she has forth to get that ball as sister Sara, watches 2. 1978-79 Reserve Basketball Team 3.

All eyes are on the ball as Jo Wilson shoots WRESTLING SUCCESS UNLIMITED Under the guidance of Coach Bob Saquist, Jonathan Alder has become one of the premier wrestling schools in the state. Alder finished first in the league, for the second time in two years, first in the district, and third in the state. They won every tournament they competed in. Mike Stalnaker captured his second state championship and finished with a remarkable career record of 107-12. Steve Vowell went unde- feated through the entire season until the state championship, where he was pinned in a close match. David Beddow made his second trip to the state meet and finished second.

TRACK SEASON IS ONE OF BREAKING RECORDS When most people hear the word track they think of running, but track is not only running. Track is a lot of hard work, determination, dedica- tion, and the will to strive to reach for your goals. This year’s track team broke many of the school records. Lisa Beachy, Sherri Hahn, Bev Baldwin, and Judy Purdum broke the 880 Medley record with a time of 2:05.6 while Lisa Lovejoy brought the mile run time down to 6:07.0 at the CBL. Lisa Beachy broke the 100 yard dash time bringing it down to 12.8, and Cheryl Williams clocked in at a record time of 2:34.6 in the 880 yard run. The mile relay team, consisting of Judy Purdum, Sherri Hahn, Bev Baldwin, and Cheryl Williams, lowered the school’s record down to 4:32.6, and Judy Pur- dum set a new record in the long jump with a jump of 14-1 OVi at the Madison County Meet. This year’s track team was one of breaking records, Mr. Bryant feels next year’s team will be even bet- ter. 1 Melissa Glass paces herself to finish the race 2. 1979 Track Team 3 Cheryl Williams makes a great hand off to Sherri Hahn 4 Sherri shows the thrill of victory 5 Coach Bryant tells Judy his strategy 6 Lisa Lovejoy keeps her winning pace 7 Alder is ready to break another record in the mile relay 8 Pain shows on Emalisa Beachy s face as she makes her final jump 62 Sri ■ nwr. MADRY- VOWELL HIGHLIGHT TRACK SEASON As the 1979 track season approached, many individuals began to prepare for the hard times ahead. The team was rich in talent with the likes of Quad-Captains Mike Madry, Steve Vowell, Mike Burch and Tom Hilbert. Each member knew that hard work and dedication would be essential for individual success. Using this law, Mike Madry and Steve Vowell were both league champs, sectional champs and dis- trict champs. They both represented Alder in the State track meet in their respected events. Steve Vowell set a new school record in the shot-put with a throw of 52'9 . Hard training enabled Mike Burch to break two school records in the mile and two mile runs. Jay Ferguson and Tom Hilbert had very successful seasons winning points for the team. Curtis Sagraves was rewarded for his great improvement as a sprinter. Brett Adams received the Winners Award for four years of dedication and desire to the team. 1. From start to finish Mike Madry is always a winner. 2. Another exciting track meet 3. Steve Vowell broke his brother's school record in the shot-put. 4. It's a bird! It's a plane!

The tennis team proved that success isn’t winning matches, but playing with heart. The Jonthan Alder tennis program has struggled since its beginning. Under the guidance of Coach Lombardo the team won four matches. That is more than the past three years combined. David Murphy was chosen the Most Improved Player of 79. Bob Williams has been the team veteran, lettering all four years. He was elected the Most Valuable Player.

DANCING IN THE “GYM” LIGHT The disco craze was shared by Diana and Jeff. 'i-jL DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS Art is not merely drawing pic- tures. It has many other forms. Singing, playing a musical instru- ment, writing poems and stories, sewing, woodwork, as well as painting and sketching are all var- ious arts. All forms of art were presented effectively at the tenth annual Festival of the Arts. There were hundreds of beauti- ful paintings and drawings as well as macrame, string art, and other crafts displayed by the art depart- ment. As a new twist to the Art’s Festival this year, Rick Locke worked on an oil painting before interested observers. Home Ec. exhibits and Indus- trial Art exhibits were also dis- played in the cafeteria. The band performed eight songs in the auditorium and the chorus sang seven after them. Throughout the Art’s Festival, Mrs. McCune’s creative writing class sold a magazine entitled Innervisions” containing their own original works. The Art’s Festival was con- cluded by the talent show. % MUSICAL ABILITY SHOWED OFF IN TALENT SHOW Karen Walker sings while portraying a chimney sweep The talent show was completely made up of musical talent this year. Songs were either played, sung or danced to. The show was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. It proved to be the perfect ending for the Festival of the Arts.

However, they like to think that the best things come in small packages. Members were busy all year round. Fall activities included running homecoming court elections, putting on a ceremony to honor freshmen who obtained all A's or were on Honor Roll, and going to see Watership Down. During the winter, members sold Christmas greens and honored sophomores and juniors who were on the Honor Roll or had all A’s. Spring was the busiest time for the National Honor Society members. They were in charge of running class officer elections. It is also when new members are inducted. They went on a picnic at Scotts on May 19. Also, junior inductees were ushers at the graduation ceremonies. The National Honor Society may have been one of the smallest, but they were one of the most active as well.

That’s right — and at least ten of the new members were fellas! Increasing male membership was one goal which proved to be successful since homemaking is not just for girls anymore. Two community projects the chapter par- ticipated in were Christmas caroling and raising money towards a contribution to Children’s Hospital. A plant sale and rock-a- thon were conducted to accomplish this. School projects included both the FHA and FFA chapters cooperatively sponsoring the basketball homecoming and dance. In February, FHA week was observed — activi- ties included a teacher breakfast, cleaning the faculty lounge and school trophy case, and hush day (FHA girls were prohibited to speak to a boy for the entire day). The year was happily concluded by six members and two advisers attending a state conven- tion in Columbus. Several club members performed skits at the FHA initiation cer, mony. 19 8-79 Future Homemakers of America ALDER FHA FEATURES FELLAS The Emblem Ceremony was presented as part of the program at the initiation of new members and installation of new officers.

The pinata party was a smashing success and many other activities kept the members on their toes. A picnic at the Metropolitan park brought many people together and they had a fantastic time. Clovis Fazio was a new attrac- tion to the club. He was the for- eign exchange student from Brazil. A reception was held for him and during a question and answer period the students got to know Clovis, his country and his customs.

Gr The summer of 1978 was very exciting for many of the backpacking members. They found them- selves in Canada for ten long and tiring days. Their advisor was Mr. Dennis Kondrich who had been their teacher for two years. Several of the guys wanted to stay all summer and bathe in the sun, but their other responsibilities called them home. Turtle catching Is a favorable pastime Our fearless leader — Mr. Kondrich. CANADA — 1978 I — NOT EVEN THE WEATHER The Backpacking Club was a very active club in 78-79. Under the direction of the new guidance counselor, Marybeth Thornburgh, the members had a good time wherever they went. Even though the weather seemed to be at its worst, they slushed through the rain at Tar Hollow and didn’t complain at all. At the close of the school year of 1979 the members were looking forward to a couple of great summer trips. The notorious Ms. Thornburgh. Fishing is fun for everyone. BACKPACKING CLUB 1978-79 Sing for the World Needs a Song “LET THE MUSIC TAKE YOU” That was the theme for this year’s mixed chorus. Being in the eyes of the public was the main concern of the chorus. They trav- eled to the elementary centers around Plain City. Performed at a Christmas concert, also a dessert concert. They sang at the Sharon Mennonite Church and helped in the pro- duction of Oklahoma. The officers that guided the group in selling candy and deter- gent were: Bryan Roby — President, Randy Beachy — Vice President, Beth Gibson — Secretary and Treasurer.

A SPECIAL BREED Not just any girl can stand outside in 20° or lower weather, twirl a baton with numb fingers, and keep smiling through icy blue lips. It takes a very special kind of girl — it takes a majorette. Majorettes try out in spring prior to the new season in front of the band. Any girl who has played an instrument in high school band for one year is eligible to try out. She must perform one compulsory and two original routines. The selected majorettes attend camp during the summer for one week. Here, they learn about 15 new routines. Through all their differences and difficulties, they still arise at half time of each football game with a brand new routine worked out to perfec- tion.

I may not be the greatest, but, I know I'm not the least. I may not be a beauty, but I know I’m not the beast. I may not be the wisest, but, I know enough to pass. I may not be the first one, but, I know I’m not the last. I may be far from perfect, but, I think I’ll let things be. I may not meet your standards, but, I’m good enough for me. by Margaret Clevenger Class of 1979
