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

Text from Pages 1 - 212 of the 1980 volume:

Every student is both an artist and a color in the Pioneer pic- ture. The ideal student at Jonathan Adler takes 11 classes a day; performs in the play, band, and chorus; plays three sports a sea- son; is president of 12 clubs and editor of two student publica- tions; works after schqol; and likes winning much more than losing. Spread that ever 400 students and you have people “doing their thing.” They produce the Pioneer Press and The Powder Horn and perform in The Music Man. They place in districts in volleyball and lose sectionals in basketball. They make their opin- ions heard in Student Council and FFA and sing “Grease” in chorus. And they still find time to “hang out.” Color, texture, light, shading, movement — only an artist can mix them into a picture. Educa- tion, sports, people, activities, happiness, and sorrow — only students can mix them into a school. SPORTS 2 Student Lite Corning and Going Survival was one of the first instincts to be developed in a Pio- neer, either through riding the bus or using the parking lot. Both meth- ods required skill, brains, and sheer force to stay alive. A school bus became so much more than just a yellow box. You could cut gum out of your hair, melt your shoes on the heater, or get sat on by the fattest kid on the route. The best place to get a real educa- tion was on the last seat, while the best place to see someone go insane was behind the bus driver. You knew you had met life’s great- est challenge if you survived the bus. The giant pothole behind JA sucked in cars at 8:25 and spit them out at 3:15. Cars showed up at 7:00 during wrestling practice and stayed ’til 9:00 the day before Pio- neer Press deadline. People drove anything from six door family cars to three door wrecks to junkers in two tones of rust, but they still got equal space with the slick new models and sleek wax jobs. Cars and school buses were not one of the most thrilling parts of school life, but they were always there to keep JA coming and going. 6 Coming Some people like to leave by themselves. ▼ Other people like to leave together. capacity of one or many, students come and go at Alder. Going It does not matter whether old or new, . . • • Agility drills become easy for John and Jeff. IS SPORTS At Alder, students react strongly to sports. They love or hate it. They play, watch, cheer, hiss, coach, report, or just plain ignore it. Despite five new coaches, Pioneer teams continued a strong sports tradition. From intramurals to freshman squads to championship players, competitors found that the best person usually, but not always, won. What makes tracksters, cagers, hardbaliers, gridders, grapplers, and netters go through the agony of training, the hours in practice, the pressure of competition? Maybe school pride, maybe personal satisfaction, maybe something to do, or maybe just the feeling that any challenge is worth a try. 8 Sports Come rain or shine and freezing rain. r Cheerleaders will always be in the game Chris Cooper pins an opponent on his way to the state.

Teachers skip down the halls, freshmen turn up in College Prep English, and seniors start the second semester slide in September. The faculty began the trend as a principal and new teachers replaced Alder's hallmarks. Mr. Cooke moved to the guidance office while Mr. Carpenter became principal at Plain City. Meanwhile the brain trust behind the system sat at board meetings and kept parents, teachers, and students happy. Doris Livesay, Jim Boyd, and Lyle Pearson were elected, while a bond levy was passed. Inside JA it was business as usual. People went to classes (usually), guessed on tests, and did what they had to do. Somehow they still found time to be friends, allies, and confidants BpBi.1;' People Money as well as skill is needed lo win at UNO Lawrence Gibson and Jerry Whitmer try to be winners is PEOPLE A roaring mouse and ‘'76 trombones highlighted the arts. The Pioneer Press was published nine times while POWDERHORN '80 slowly got it together. As athletes, cheerleaders, journalists, dramatics or musicians, students found somewhere to belong. Just often enough to be exciting, big news happened: Bomb threatens Alder! Students boycott cafeteria! “ ’Victims’ attack Council! Students had a knack for being radical without being delinquent. They also managed to stretch their wings. A prayer breakfast was held Thursday mornings, white rafters dared the river of death, and a softball team was born. International events sometimes caused waves in the JA puddle. Seniors worried about the draft, people avoided Who concerts, the POD classes solved the Iranian hostage crisis. Even so, students managed to enjoy life in their own unique way. They called each other burnt out or ate up or just plain red, but there was always something new to say about Pioneer people. A visiting beauty consultant demonstrates applying makeup using Ruth Livesay as a model Track is a tiring sport and Lisa Beachy takes advantage of any spare time to sit between events 14 People alancing a ball on a tee isn't very hard; balanc- ig two balls becomes a little bit harder; balanc- ing three balls is almost impossible, as shown by Lawrence Gibson Notes are composed by Mary White EDUCATION 16 Education A potent mixture of Romeo, derivatives, and cadavers can only be brewed in one place — the halls of JA. From seniors passing tests without going to class, to sophomores discovering the best use for a world history book is to stack a locker, people and education struggled to meet somewhere on middle ground. Turning over a new leaf hit the process of learning hard. A new school board was elected, a levy was passed, a new principal lurked behind the detention slips, and nine of 26 teachers were rookies. Nevertheless, students continued to hammer out three- legged stools, concoct dessert a la disastre, and compute the shortest distance to the door. Even with the new, certain legends of learning still remain: the agonized silence of a test, deciphering someone else's homework, and those special moments when education became the thrill of learning. Last minute cramming will help Betsy Hughes pass the test. A strong school system starts with a strong foundation ot teachers. Education 17 Sometimes the homework is hard for Dave Pollock ii IS HAPPY Songwriters have called it two kinds of ice cream, Sunshine on my shoulders, and the top of the world, but JA managed to add some new equations to the old formula for happiness. From the first football victory in September to the last exam in June, students found something to whistle about. A Chemistry experiment with a full-color explosion, a Pioneer Press deadline being met on time, a genuine DeMooy joke, or a full measure without Mr. Spencer interrupting brought smiles. Being part of the winning play, sharing life as a team, or meeting someone else’s eyes in a shared joke brought warm laughter., It might have been Brad Yoder's Gong Show burp, or the weight of that trophy or crown, or the sound of that applause; it might have been spring fever or the Friday, 3:15 bell, but it added up to a whole lot of happiness at JA. Happiness is Being named First Team All Ohio Happiness is scoring winning the Hush Contest, 18 Happiness Friends try to humor Doug after he received his grades 20 Sorrow Lunch is boring for Doug IS SAD Pain is not new to Alder’s halls; they have witnessed countless defeats and absorbed buckets of tears. Nevertheless when pain hit students; it hurt as badly as always. Sorrow did not come from the complete failures or wholesale defeats as much as the near- misses — the ones so close only luck made the difference. A’s were missed by a point, games were lost by a second, elections lost by a VOTE, and the pain remained. Athletes, scholars, competitors of every sort found that real disappointment is when you've given the best you can and it isn’t good enough. Even with the disappointments, students bounced back. The hurt stayed for a while, but with friends to listen and people to care, the sadness became a memory. Grades are a puzzle to Jeff mr Grade cards are depressing for Susan Kay p Eating is not much fun for Linda Graumlich each Phillips talks to John Bower after a loss Sorrow 21 Work They say that money makes the world go 'round. It also buys cars and gets people to college and does a lot of other nice things. To get it, people put their time and energy into after school jobs. They bagged groceries at Super Duper, looked for golf balls at Bash’s Recreation, and served food at McDonald’s or the Dutch Kitchen. Some students helped out in the family business — at restaurants or on the farm, while others just wanted some- thing to do. Jobholders soon found that the rules were different in the “real world.” Being punctual to the minute, learning fast and well, dealing with rude people, and pleasing both boss and cus- tomer all went into that pay- check. Students found that social and school activities often had to be planned around their jobs, and that it was easy to put sleep before homework. They learned to be accountable for their own mistakes, however costly. But it was worth it to have that feeling of independence — of being treated as an adult and a wage earner. And of course the money was very nice. 22 Alter School Jobs .

PEOPLE Despite the minor inconveniences of classes, tests, and homework, people still find time to be people. Whether it's friends hanging out in the gym, a shared Ho Ho, teammates in postseason, that moment of being a person, not just a mind becomes a treasured memory. Teachers care about students after the bell has rung, when the halls are empty, and when the game is lost Underclassmen endure school while managing to become crazy, unique individuals. Seniors, with feet firmly in midair, count the days and wonder what “real life” will be like. And together they make Jonathan Alder a body, not a building; a unit that understands its athletes, respects its administration and loves to be what it is.

From playing rummy in study hall to arguing about selling candy bars to being con- sistently absent, the senior class showed it was “just there to be there.’’ The twenty fourth class had talent, though Music, drama, sports, literature, you name it, they had it, and they weren't afraid to share it.

The first is that after the thou- sands of valedictory addresses given this year and the millions since the first graduation, everything I was going to say has already been said. Secondly, I am not qualified to say anything anyway. As our English teacher has often told us, we can take our opinions and thirty cents and buy a donut after class. It is I who should be listening to your experience, not you to my igno- rance. The class of '80 has become what it is through influences that have shaped it into artists, scholars, ath- letes — you name it. Our parents were the first influence. They have put up with us through diapers, mea- sles, drivers’ ed, and detention. Within 12 years the average parent goes to 96 ball games, looks at 78 report cards, and spends, according to Campus Life, $72,000 on his child. We thank you. Our teachers have opened the world to us. They taught us to read, and color inside the lines, and ulti- mately to think for ourselves. From cutting up frogs to discussing abor- tion to going to Shakespeare’s plays, our minds have been stretched. Mr Carpenter, you were right — I still remember Samuel Chase and Bacon Face. Wherever they are, we will remember our teachers as special because they cared enough to chal- lenge us. We freely chose other adult influ- ences. Coaches, employers, minis- ters, and advisors taught us the rules to the game of life and left us exam- ples to follow. We are grateful. My friends have influenced me because we need each other. We have shared opinions, feelings, and deepest needs. They are a part of me and I of them. The most eternal influence is how much or little we have let the love of God into our lives. It is by his love that I am who I am and through his grace that I am up here today. I trust that he will keep each of you until you find him. The class of ’80 must now move into the future. I am indescribably proud of what I know my class to be I have seen them achieve on the field or the stage or anywhere else there are worlds to conquer I am proud when I hear the names Roby, Bed- dow, Clevenger, Ferguson, Beachy, Mullet, or Price. But we are not all performers; most of us are just our Valedictorian Rhonda Yutzy own unique selves. We are content to live life without being the best or the worst. I am also proud of the people who were exceptions, and who changed me because they weren’t afraid to be different. Thank you, Donald, and Jessica, and Jeff, and Connie. The class of '80 has come through a lot for this day. We have produced Toody, Buzz, Sledhead, and Putt. We have come from broken crayons to broken hearts, from fighting each other in kick ball to fighting Fair- banks in basketball, and have some- how, by fate or chance, reached this moment. And despite the chaos in gradua- tion practice, we really are going to miss each other next September. Maybe that’s why this graduation seems so important because it is our class and our last word. I do not pre- tend that we will go from here to rev- olutionize the world or solve its prob- lems. It is only that now we know who we are and we are thankful to the people who got us there. We don’t claim the right to make a differ- ence in the world, but to be what we are. We don’t accept the responsibil- ity to please anyone but to fulfill what God meant us to be We ask only for a chance to try and room to grow After sharing in the life of this class, I can’t help but be an idealist. We have so much talent and so much potential. Salutatorian Susan Frey Class Sermon — Rev. Sommers “Hope for the Future” Senior Awards Announcements Genny Akers.

He fought with the kids on his street, went to kindergarten when he was four and first grade when he was six, and hit high school (seventh grade) at 13. He struggled through math, science, gram- mar, and history from 8:30 to 5, then went home to two hours of homework. He watched TV when it broadcast, which was from 5 to 12 and went to soccer games every Sunday. In high school he majored in science until it proved too diffi- cult, when he moved to lan- guages — Dutch, English, French, and German. His school had no athletic program so he practiced swimming with a city- sponsored team from 5:30 to 7:30 every morning and an addi- tional two hours at night. He began drinking beer for lunch like every other kid at 16, hopes to get his license at 18, and to possibly buy a car at 20. He would like to get a psychology degree and be specially trained to work with children like his mentally retarded brother Fre- deric. At 12 years old Pascal Him- pens had a dream, and at 17 he was on his way to the U.S., leav- ing his “average life” in Wilrijk, Belgium, behind. His host family became John Schrecks of Plain City, and he overwhelmed Jona- than Alder High School with his kicking talents, Dutch expletives and sleepy smile. Pascal became interested in America through daily exposure to U.S. movies, songs, and poli- tics. His dad was encouraging, his mother was a “little worried,” and he was determined to come. He has since found that every- one in the U.S. doesn’t drive a Z- 28, like in the movies, but that they are middle class citizens like the Belgians he left. He says school is more enjoyable here because of extra-curricular activ- ities, but less challenging aca- demically. He finds that Ameri- can homelife is less tightly knit, Graduation 73 Smiling proudly. Pascal and Linda reflect the year. Pascal's farewell speech expressed appreciation for a happy year at Alder and life is at a faster pace with “sports, girlfriends, and parties.” He thinks Americans might be slightly “chauvinistic” to other countries, but that racism is not as bad as in Belgium. Fred Schreck, one of Pascal’s host “brothers,” laughed when he described Pascal eating a plain mustard sandwich because he didn’t know what the baloney was for. He said hosting Pascal has been a mind-stretching experience because “everything we were taught to believe, he was taught to believe something different.” The name of Pascal Himpens will stick around longer at Jona- than Alder longer than most of the “hometown crowd.” At the beginning of the football season he did not know the meaning of the word “football”; by the end he had broken Alder's fieldgoal record twice. Since then Pascal has moved on to basketball, skiing, track, and bowling, but his football coach still has only praise for him. Craig Phillips remarks “The kid was great. He blended in so well here — like one of the gang.” For 400 students at Alder, only two more words are needed: “Thanks Belgium!” Dale Armentrout Bev Baldwin Linda Ball Paulie Barker Linda Beach Myrna Beachy Sheldon Beachy Wendy Bearden Ken Begley Bryan Berry Mary Birkhold Sarah Birkhold “Catch a fish and everyone thinks you’re a professional . . . to me it’s just being out there and having fun. In 1979 Tim Glick captured the Junior Division Award in the Darby Valley Con- servation Club by hooking a five pound two ounce large mouth bass. He likes fishing in Lake Erie, Mad River, Apple Valley, and neighborhood farm ponds. The soft-spoken junior is also a hunter, a trap shooter, and a lover of anything outdoors “People who don’t enjoy the out- doors are missing something It's the solitude I like . . . just the feel- ing of being out. Tim has ignored “social’’ sports in favor of outdoor recrea- tion. “Id rather have a fishing pole or a good shot gun than a new car. He would like to go on an Alaskan fishing holiday after graduation. Through reading and first- hand experience, Tim has become an expert on all types of wild game. To him, though, the basic thrill of the outdoors is the one-on-one competition. “It’s the challenge that you take against something; you meet it head-on and beat it.’’ 74 Juniors Tammy Adams; Sec , Rhonda Miller and Vice- This year's Junior Class Officers.

A “floater?” Someone who helps whenever and wherever she’s needed — a candystriper. “I like to give children love and atten- tion — to talk and play with them and help with their time in the hospital.” She started in the “well child care center”, then moved to the admitting desk, where she helps in the burn unit, feeds babies, changes diapers, and runs errands. But why devote every Sunday and even Easter to candystriping? “It’s a nice feeling to help babies live, to tell kids the hospital won’t hurt them and that it’s a nice place to be.” After a second orientation Sherri will be stationed on a floor. “I’d like the fifth — it’s the teen floor.” She finds that the Intensive Care Unit and the “pre- mees” (five months or older) demand the most care. She said, It’s hard to imagine the things that can happen to babies.” Even so this “floater runs a steady ship — “It's easy to get involved, but you have to learn not to get too close.” Jeff Jordon Jay Kaltenbach Susan Kay Richard Kriel Robin Lapp Joe Leach Connie Lentz Cassandra Loretti Tina Lovejoy Angela Loy Pat Lunsford Greg Mann Marynell Mercer Jennifer Merkle Tim Miller Doug Mitchell Shelly Mitchell Randy Morrow Shelly Mullet 88 Freshmen Barbie Pemberton Lori Ann Pennington Carl Perkins Barbie Persinger Anita Pettry Beth Ann Phillips Connie Price Debbie Putney Chad Recob Melinda Ring Susan Rose Lisa Rowe Patina Sagraves Teresa Sharp Sherri Simmons Barbie Smith Lisa Smith Eric Stephens RoseAnn Stray ley Cheryl Stoltzfus Jenny Stomp Jerry Sullivan Mark Syx Cathy Thomas Chris Tobin Rhonda Tobin Carla Troyer Freshmen 89 Brian Muncie Dave Parker Barb Parknavy Randy Troyer Lynn Walborn Gene Ward Rita Wellman Robbi Wilcox Mike Williams These costumes may be hiding 1 'Galloping Gourmets 1' Moose’’ (world s smallest football hero) 90 Freshmen Math test participant, Mark Syx, is in deep thought.

As advisor, officer, member, or guest, people worked together to have as much fun and get out of as many classes as possible. You might find them organizing dances, breaking pinatas. or going to Montreal, but you would always find them planning field frips and selling something. Those not excused by a “teacher’s salary were bombarded with candy, decals, candy, t-shirts and candy. But the money always went back into the clubs, into making Pioneer activities the busiest and most interesting in the territory.

The festivities came to a climax with the crown- ing of the queen, Linda Graumlich. The 1980 homecoming was highlighted by spirit week. The countdown began with crazy sock day on Monday. The themes for the following days were: T- Homecoming A Time of Happiness and Craziness 1. The 1980 Homecoming Court. 2. Sophisticated Sins? 3. Pho- tography captures the magic of the fire baton. 4.

Crazy sock day was the most popular spirit day. Homecoming 97 Many Long Hours Spent In September the planning of the prom began. As decisions were made, plans progressed. Soon the class was deciding on theme, decorations, banquet menu, programs, entertainment, and much more. Finally when the prom was nearing, the junior class had chosen the theme of “Always and Forever.” Multi-colored crepe paper, used in decorating, created the atmos- phere of an elegant ballroom. After several hours of work, Mark and Steve took a break The formation of a rainbow archway was created by Linda Beach and Chris Cooper The effort to fill 150 glasses and to distribute just as many pro- grams was put forth by Donna Frey and Mrs Ramey ■3 in Prom Preparation Many found the food at the prom delicious enough for seconds. Even card playing worked its way into the activities of the prom. A talented duo, Andy Hess and his date, danced the night away. Marigolds were potted to be centerpieces. Rainbow-striped glasses were filled with water and oil to serve as candles. Tassels were tied on programs. Archways were placed in the entrance. And rainbow-colored streamers were hung. On the 17th of May at 7:30 in the evening, the banquet rooms and dance floors of the Lincoln Lodge were filled with people. The long hours of planning and hard work seemed well worth it when 175 people came, the largest attendance thus far. The disco craze at the prom became a show for those watching.

The reading of the . is and prophecies attracted the attention, and sometimes laughter, of the audience Prom 101 Senior boys add “muscles After many hours of putting the Prom together, unfortunately the interest in the event faded. Despite nice decorations, entertainment and refreshments few people attended. A plan is now being contem- plated about replacing the Christmas Prom with something of more interest for the members. The year’s service events included donating food for the needy during Thanksgiving and decorating Easter Eggs for local kindergarteners in March. The annual picnic was held at Metropolitan Park.

The group had the largest mem- bership ever. The annual Hi-Y, Y-Teen hayride was held in October. There were three wagons full of straw and rambunctious members who had lots of fun and plenty to eat. The Y-Teen Prom involved a long process of planning. It started in September and ended on the evening of December 23. The money earned for the prom was raised by selling slaves and stadium cushions. 103 Y-Teens Robin Sims decorates eggs Y-Teens Hi-Y and Y-Teen Picnic Tina Sagraves Slave Service Projects and Recognition of The National Honor Society did some experimenting with new service projects this year. A field trip was plan- ned for school leaders to the Capital Building and then to the French Market. Students who maintained first semes- ter honor roll were honored with a reception at Citizens Federal Bank. Mr. Dennis Sargeant gave a speech on self confidence and appreciation. The club also was busy running the elections of class officers and the homecoming court. At the end of the year, 15 new members were inducted into the club. The club's final activity included a field trip to the Columbus Arts Museum and the Park of Roses. 104 National Honor Society Honor Students — Projects of NHS 1 Congratulations were given to Tamara and Lelsha by Mr. DeMooy. 2.

Being a member of the Pioneer Press staff is not all fun and games, as the staff realized after the first issue came out in October.

Did they really sign out?' Nevertheless the Pioneer Press came through on time, j 1,2, 3, 4 — Cindy is counting and typing at the same time.

Chalk it up in the wins or losses column Next week's game is the important thing now, but still that very personal thrill of victory or that aching agony of defeat remains. The empty bleachers will bulge again with the stats, trainers, doctors, refs, reporters, fans, spectators, guards, parents, cheerleaders, coaches, and players planning, yelling, and praying, but all that counts is that final chalk mark under W or L. Whether Alder athletes wrapped it up or got wrapped up, they did it with class. From the volleyball net to the baseball diamond, players tempered rookie coaches and produced some first class champions. From taking state titles to losing by a point, from getting crushed to doing the creaming, Pioneers were just a cut above the rest. Sports 139 1.

With a record of 2-6-2, the Pioneers were always in the games and suffered some heartbreaking losses. Pascal Himpens, our kicker from Belgium, set two records for field goals: he broke his 33 yard record with a 37 yarder against New Albany. Inspiration was provided by John Bower who received Special Mention District First Team Defensive Back. His final game will be long remembered.

On a rain soaked course, the Pioneer team consisting of Jay Ferguson, David Colflesh, Lawrence Gibson, John Roby and Dick Nolley placed fourth in the Sectional, which qualified them for the Districts. In the Districts the golfer’s finished in eighth place. The varsity ended the season with a 6-8 record. Jay Ferguson received the Captain's award, Four Year trophy, Team Medalists and Low Average trophy. John Roby received the Scrambler award, and Dick Nolley earned the Most Improved trophy.

Fighting tremendous odds ot repeating as District Champs, the Pioneers were upset in the first game of the sectionals, by a last second basket Always going into the game as the favorites didn't help the Pioneer cause Every team was psyched to beat the defending District Champs. Coach Andy Lombardo made a smooth transition trom freshman to varsity, and having no starters over 6'2 , the Pioneers were able to hold their own and post a respectable record of 12-9 tor the year. The Pioneers were led by All Stater Jay Ferguson and two year starters Jerry Whitmer and Jett Hess. Exceptional hustle and desire from Steve Zimmerman and John Francis enabled the Pioneers to beat Academy twice, who eventually won the District. The Pioneers also defeated arch rival Bexley in triple- overtime for the opening game of the season and also beat state-ranked Canal Winchester.

They dribble, pass, rebound, fast-break, direct plays, steal, and intimidate, but it is when they shoot that they become artists. They understand and dominate the ball, adding a quiet deadliness to Jay Ferguson’s game. As a freshman varsity player for Doug Carpenter, Jay teamed with the talents of Tim Raber and Glen Prater, while trying to beat that Finn out. His sophomore year became a shooting holiday, as opponents concentrated on blocking Dwayne Clark. Then came his momentous junior year, when the team fought its way to the district title. Mike Sweeney became both competition and back-up for Jay in scoring, while Jay expressed a similar confidence in him. In twelfth grade Jay found that if he could get things started; then the team would score, or he would score, or the game would be lost. Nevertheless he broke Alder records for most points per single game and career. According to Jay, much of his basketball finesse was inherited, but his coach adds that plenty of hard work didn't hurt. He was motivated partly by parental expectations and the goal of getting a college scholarship, but also by a desire to prove himself. We leave it to the coach for the last word: “Jay is probably the best all-around player Alder has ever had. We would give him a hand, if his weren't so capable. Varsity Kneeling Mike Sullivan.

Basketball 153 Team Strength Structured Around Defense Defense was the strategy Coach Lynne Gatsch stressed the most throughout the season. The policy of a tough defense allowed the girls a record of 4-0 going into the game against Buckeye Valley. The Lady Pioneers struggled through a mid- season slump, caused by illnesses and injuries, but finished the year 11-9, 9-7 in the CBL. A record-setting score of 103 points against Columbus School for Girls proved the offense was invincible. With 1.5 minutes remaining Sherry Hostetler scored the point over 100. The offense was lead by Junior, First team All-league Judy Purdum and Sophomore Second team, Jo Wilson. —- S8| Lady Pioneers Break Century Mark Against Columbus School for Girls 1.

Switching from defense to offense midway through the season, he advanced to the state tournament and placed second, losing the title to one of the basics in wrestling. I slipped, he turned the advantage against me and won. David's exceptional feet took it in stride, as they did in other areas of his life. They, as well as the agility, strength, skill, and discipline in every muscle of his body, will remain as a tribute to his character as much as his ability. Says teammate Cooper, David is a character, in capital letters, he’s unique — an actor; he’ll be happy-jacking when he’s 80. For David, the spirit of wrestling has raised him from novice to champion, but for the wrestling team, the spirit will drop about 13 sizes when he leaves the locker room for good. On a scale of one to twenty, David Beddow rates thirteen. In shoe size, that is. In dedication, motivation, and sense of humor, he ranks with the best. Chris Cooper, himself a 132- pound state champion calls it the “will to win” and the hate to lose, but whatever you call it, Buzz fits. After being “thrashed as a seven-year-old wrestler in a novice tournament, he became determined to outwrestle his opponents until there was nobody out there who could beat me. Asa 167 pound freshman and sophomore, then a 175 pound junior and senior, he grappled for records of 13-12, 29-9, 27-5, and 31 -3.

Barry Eades carried much of the load throughout the year. Eades batted 465, first team All-CBL, and First Team Central District. The Pioneers won the Sectionals by beating Licking Heights 5-2. This Sectional Championship was the first since 1958. They were beaten by the 1978 State Champions, Cardington, 13-6. The Pioneers were able to finish the end of the season in a flurry, winning 6 out of their last 10 games. The final record was 7 and 13. This year marked the first year of a JV squad. The JV's were able to post a 6-8 record. Baseball 161 162 Boys’Track A lot of hard work and determina- tion fell short in the win column for the boys’ track team this year.

To freshmen, sophomores, and juniors the end of the year is a wonderful break, but only a break — next year is there to come back to. But for seniors, and especially for us as a yearbook staff, it is a time to tie up our thoughts and activities into memories, to say goodbye, and to leave We have spent a year putting on paper the joy, sweat, and tears of getting an education at JA It has been our tribute to the seniors. Now it is time for us to pack ourselves up and start this great adventure of life We hope we have recorded a few treasured memories — a few teachers, some friends, a coach — who are special to each senior But whatever we remember, Jonathan Alder will always be our alma mater; and even if we never go back, it will be the place we started from Rhonda Yutzy.
