Long hours of each element challenge any student who is part of the mixed chorus. But all those parts are not complete without a control center, in this case a director. Donna Hill has been the choir director at Alder for 13 years. In that time Mrs. Hill has done much to improve the Music Department. A music theory class was added to the curriculum recently and this year the select symphonic choir was started due to efforts by Mrs. Hill. Just five years ago the musical Charlie Brown” was performed at our school. Ever since that time a superb performance has been given every year under the direction of Mrs. Hill and a colleague. Working with over 100 students a day can tax anyone's patience, but this same woman who gives misbehaving students a look to kill can also give a heart-warming smile to everyone she meets. For the hard work and outstanding efforts here at Jonathan Alder, we dedicate the 1981 yearbook to Mrs. Donna Hill. dedication Mrs. Hill's eyes speak louder than words. “Sopranos, you are just a hair flat.” Donna Hill To see all her students, Mrs. Hill has to stand on the risers! Homecoming Queen at Madison South To relax and to keep in shape, Mrs. Hill tries puttering around. Dedication v ■ Married 18 years, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Hill. 4iP Mrs. Hill found out that studying and drying her hair could be done at the same time. Cheerleading was a good way to keep her vocal chords tuned. re IJout invited to Attend an sdnniver5ary delebrati ( ion Jonathan Alder is more than a school set just three miles south of nowhere. We are a proud and spirited bunch of in- dividuals who know how to live life to its fullest. As we reflect on past years at Alder, we recognize our heritage as one of true interest. The name for the high school was entered in a community contest by Robert Tedrick. Jonathan Alder, born September 17, 1773, was to become the first white settler in Madison County. He was a Christian tiller of the soil cap- tured by the Indians when he was only eight years old. Re- maining with the Indians for 24 years, Alder married both a white and Indian wife and fathered 13 children. Serving as a Captain in the War of 1812, this man became an important figure in this community. A mighty pioneer, Alder died January 30, 1849. His homestead stands to this day and his gravesight can be found in the cemetery behind it. Jonathan Alder became a melting pot of students from the previous high schools, Canaan. Monroe and Plain City. The building was constructed to house 400 students. At that time the enrollment stood at 266; now a new wing (added in 1966) is necessary to accommodate the population exceeding 500. Jonathan Alder cost $670,000 to construct and contained. 10 classrooms, a combination study hall cafeteria, a health clinic, administrative offices, a conference room, a library, a gymnasium, and an auditorium. The first classes held took place on February 4, 1957, nearly two and a half years after the levy for construction was approved (November of 1954). 4 The Way We Were We] Co ome a aCong EaLj After the rededication ceremonies took place ir the auditorium, a reception was held in the new library. This time was spent reminiscing of days past The graduating class of 1957 and the faculty who taught them all took advantage of the opportunity to tell each other how they “hadn’t changed a bit.” How someone remains exactly the same after twenty-five years is amazing! The punch and cookies weren’t near as sweet as meeting old classmates. After graduation everyone goes their own way. Some chose farming, some chose business, some chose secretarial work and others chose to be homemakers; but whatever the graduates of 1957 chose they’ve tried to give it their best. Many have remained close to home con- tributing to the community, while others have gone as far as Texas and Colorado to pursue other things in life. It is the hope of the 1981 POWDER HORN stafl that the collection of pictures and mini-biographies brings back old memories and perhaps start new ones. ireeting the 1957 graduates were Tammy Adams and Mrs. lorothy Sayre. iespect and friendship are still shown by Diane and Dick for their srmer principal, Mr. Oxley. 2b iane Bpachner CoJial Bill Ci onway •iane Spachner Cordial: As a registered nurse in the adolescent Unit at Harding Hospital in Worthington, seems highly unlikely that Diane would have time Dr anything else. She has proved this wrong owever. Her four girls Marilyn (18), Cathy (15), Carolyn (14), and Anne (11) keep her active. Diane as been a 4-H adviser for 16 years, she sings in the hurch choir and bakes up a storm! When asked for sactions to her alma mater after 25 years, Diane ommented on the outstanding Pioneer Pride. Bill Conway: A citizen of the London community. Bill serves as Captain of Central Township Fire Dept., when he’s not in the fields plowing, planting and harvesting. With what little spare time he has, Bill enjoys tractor pulling, racquetball and is a 4-H adviser. Wife Shirley works with the Madison County Auditor’s Department; daughter Annette (16) and son Mike (14) both attend London Schools. The Way We Were 5 Ma Seach y Ada Yutzy Beachy: Working at the Richwood Bank in Plain City fills much of Ada’s time. Like many of the other Alder Alumni, Ada has a son at- tending Alder. (Mike is a Junior) and two of Mrs. Beachy's sons have already graduated and are furthering their educations and farming careers. PkylL SIi “99i Cottier Phyllis Skaggs Collier: “A familiar face” is the best way to describe Phyllis. Living in town and serving as secretary at the Plain City Elementary building, Mrs. Collier keeps in touch. Family is a big part of her life. Husband Denzil works for Nor- wich Township Fire Dept., in Hilliard and son Greg followed in his footsteps as a member of the Plain City Fire Dept. Jeff Collier, Phyllis' youngest, is a freshman at Alder this year. Teaching Sunday School, flower arranging and plenty of gardening fill Mrs. Collier’s spare time. The Way We Were 7 Wary feeler Butterfield Mary Reder Butterfield: Aider has added to its list of alumni two of Mary’s sons, Lewis and Mike, and Mary has another child in the lower grades. The students of nearby Dublin High School see much of Mrs. Butterfield as she is employed as a member of the cafeteria staff. Wartka KJe, enberry Martha Reder Hockenberry: Like her sister Mary, _ Martha works at a community school. Teaching in West Jefferson and raising a family keeps Martha busy. 8 The Way We Were Karen llleeher JJaberer Karen Meeker Harberer: Residing in Greenwood, Indiana, Karen is a busy housewife with two sons (Kent 14 and Kraig 11). Husband Lee is Regional Vice President of Tractor Supply Co. After graduating in 1957 Karen atten- ded business school and began working as Mr. Oxley’s secretary. Now with any free time she has she donates to the neighborhood school. One active hobby of im- portance to Karen is being on a winter volleyball team. Still loyal to her alma mater, Karen returned this fall when the ’57 homecoming court was honored and this spring for the reception following gradua- tion in honor of Mr. Robinson. Carter and Lowry H Classmates of Willie will recall an old familiar sight of the cowboy hat, but he is oh so much thinner than he was in 1957. J;m mu Jim Mink: Married to a former Alder Homecoming Queen Rox- anne Schreck and father of three children, Jim leads what many would consider a suc- cessful life. Jim and his family make their home in Westerville, Ohio. Having always been in- terested in the world of finance, Jim is now Senior Vice Presi- dent of Freedom Federal Sav- ings and Loan. The Way We Were 9 D,ab Stepd JorwarJ Wisely — Martha Pennington Syx r Jiurrij l eed Larry Reed: As president of his class, Larry remembers being the first student to receive a diploma from Alder. The same qualities that made him presi- dent of the class of '57, have made him successful today. He “works long, hard hours” as the Legal Sales Representative for Dayton Legal Bank Company and farms. His wife Julia is a housewife dedicated to raising their three daughters: Paula, Lisa, and Theresa. Larry trains trotters and pacers as a hobby. P«Uy J: ove If'dowe Patty Love Rowe: The elementary students in the Alder School District know her as Mrs. Rowe, the cafeteria cook, but the ’57 grads remember her as Patty. When she’s not cooking for the school children, Patty is kept busy at home with son Jeff (19) and daughter Lisa (16). Roy, Patty’s husband, works as a fork-lift mechanic at Sear’s Distribution. Mrs. Rowe's free time is spent growing African violets. Cjeorcjann Jdamniond Sidt en Georgann Hammond Siders: A unique person, the ’57 grads will agree, is Georgann. The con- stant smile and bubbly laughter are traits of Georgann s as much now as in her high school days. As a housewife Mrs. Siders’ hands are full takin9 care of three sons: Dale 22, Bruce Chip 19, and Ted 13. For enjoyment she and her husband Lee square dance. Her hobbies are crocheting and needlepoint. When asked her feelings after 25 years, she replied, “I’ve noticed how much older my classmates are. 10 The Way We Were 1 Paul Troyer: Like Martha, Paul’s interests lie in banking. Mr. Troyer is the President of the Na- tional State Bank of Boulder in Boulder, Colorado. His family consists of wife Markie and three sons: Paul 10, Michael 9 and Mark 6. Paul enjoys golf, skiing, handball and fishing. “I have many positive memories of the friends and classmates I grew up with and look forward to the time our paths may cross again. The Way We Were 11 Wake tke Wost of Cvery Opportunity to i earn Paul Troyer PaJD, royer 111 art ha f- enninaton S u Martha Pennington Syx: Like several of her classmates, Martha remained in the community after graduation. Upon graduation she went to work at Ohio Seed. This she gave up to rear a family. When her children, Mark 16 and Kelly 17, reached school age, she returned to work. Martha was employed in the Alder School District as a secretary. After a few years she moved to a more satisfying career as a bank teller. Today Martha serves as Teller Supervisor at Huntington National Bank in Upper Arlington and husband Ken works at American Aggregates in Columbus. Besides running a household and her job as a teller Martha is Clerk of Canaan Township. Another '57 grad who lives and farms near Plain City, Russ Nicol. 3cm VUL Wary ane l ?owe J3eertzer Tom Miller: The basketball team was Regional Champs in ’57 and Tom will always be remembered for his terrific basketball skills as a member of that team. Tom now resides in Plain City with his wife Ann and 7 children. He is employed at Columbus Southern. Ann is a bus driver and substitute secretary at JA. Mary Jane Rowe Beertzer: Residing in Christney, Indiana and working at Woodcrafters, Mary Jane leads a life not unlike those of her classmates. She has raised three children, Juanita (21), Bill (20), and Janetta (19) Delashmutt. She also has two step-children, Tammy (18) and Gary Jr. (15) Beertzer. Mary Jane and her husband, Gary, own M. J. Trucking. Mrs. Beertzer’s free time is devoted to rose gardening. 12 The Way We Were a loose an interesting e areer — Tom Lamb 3om I a mb Tom Lamb: Tom’s career and hob- bies reflect his positive attitude and outlook. His classmates remember his ever-present smile. He is employed at Denison Abex. His wife Melissa is a secretary and older son David attends Nashville Auto-Diesel College. Daughter Lesley (16) and son Mark (11) attend school in Marysville. Tom’s hobby is restoring old cars and he is a member of the Early Ford V8 Club. JZW ion David Wilson: Farming is not uncom- mon in this community and David is no exception. With wife Margaret and son Dale (20) David enjoys his life as a farmer in the Plain City area. Dale is a ’78 graduate of Alder and is in business with his Dad. The Way We Were 13 rJiil) retry 3Ut cci ted to past Superintendent A recognition service was held during graduation. This was recognition of the service and dedication of Mr. Robinson who served our school system many years. Mr. Riedel presented Mr. Robinson a plaque designating the new library to be knwon as the Robinson Library. A painting of Mr. Robinson by Robert Converse has been presented to the school and will be hung in the library. At the conclu- sion of graduation the past board members had a reception where he was able to meet and visit old friends. Also, attending the reception were Dick and Diane Robinson. 3he 25th (graduating (((aa Wolio Yesterday is already a dream and tomorrow is only a vision.

Glenn went to the “Jamboree in the Hills” over the sum- mer. He met Barbara Mandrell and saw many other country-western singers. He auditioned for the opportunity to play with a well-known band. (Having 2-3 years playing experience, parental permission, and exceptional talent were the only requirements Glen had to meet.) The judges felt that Glenn was an excellent drummer, and he was chosen to play drums for the Charlie Daniels’ Band. “I was very excited when I found out that I was going to play for them (Charlie Daniels'),” Glenn said. Glenn has gained musical experience by performing at the Grand 01’ Opry and playing for the Jonathan Alder and Kenny Roberts’ bands. Glenn also enjoys motorcycling and is a member of FFA and the Varsity Basketball team. He hopes to further his musical education by going to a school of music in Nashville following graduation. After get- ting his degree in music, Glenn would like to “make it on his own” and get his own studio.

Those that did know him felt a terrible loss, and others wished they had had the chance to be his friend. He was a great sportsman — Football, basketball, and fishing were a few of his favorite sports, but baseball was his passion. Jeff also enjoyed a good game of pool or a round of cards. Jeff was a quiet person who kept to himself most of the time, and yet his close friends described him as outgoing. Jeff always had to be doing something, and he kept himself as busy as possible. He always stood up for his beliefs. The entire student body of Jonathan Alder felt the tragedy of Jeff DeLong’s death.

Well, that's just about what Chris Tobin does for enjoyment here in Ohio. Chris's hobby is exotic animal hunting. The hunt takes place on a wildlife hunting preserve in Logan, Ohio. The grounds are full of wild animals from all over the United States and some from other countries. Chris’s father took him on his first exotic hunt at the age of fourteen. “I really enjoy handling guns and demonstrating my shooting skill; this gave me my chance to prove myself.” Among his trophies are: An angora goat, two Spanish goats, a barbiroussa ram, two barbado rams, and a wild Russian boar. The angora goat, weighing 200 lbs., is Chris’s largest and most favorite. Chris said that if the goat were recorded it would rate in the world book of records. The experience is exhilarating for Chris. “The most fun is finding and killing the animal all by yourself. It isn’t always all fun and games; the tracking can be frustrating and rough. Sometimes you may walk for hours before finding what you’re looking for. But in the end it’s all worth while.” Connie Price Debbie Putney Chad Recob Melinda Ring Susan Rose Lisa Rowe Shawn Runyon Tina Sagraves Teresa Sharp Barbie Smith Lisa Smith Harland Smyers LeAndra Stacey Eric Stephens Cheryl Stoltzfus Jenny Stomp Roseann Straley Jerry Sullivan Mark Syx Cheri Taylor Cathy Thomas Chris Tobin Rhonda Tobin Carla Troyer 74 Sophomores Nothing gets by Lisa.

His team consists of 15 boys from surrounding areas about 14 or 15 years old. They compete against other teams at meets once a month. “It’s expensive and tiring because you have to have really good skates and you have to buy different wheels and bearings for each floor. I have to practice two times a week and on the day of a meet we re up from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.” Eddie enjoys speed skating and he hopes to continue competing in the future.

Erica van Oostenbrugge, a foreign exchange student from the Netherlands, was crowned Queen for 1980-81. Arousing spirit was another first in the history of JA — a float contest with monetary prizes. The thrill of competition was among all who participated. Capturing first place of $75 were the Sophomores. Second place and $50 were awarded to the Freshman class, and taking third ($25) were the Juniors. It seemed as if the night would be a total flop, because by half-time it rained.

Actually, at Alder it was just a celebra- tion for fun. It started on Thursday evening with a kick-off banquet held in the gym. The speaker at the dinner was Gene Sloter, Head Coach at Capital University. Also speaking was Marty Reid, sports an- nouncer from Channel 4. The delicious food was served by the cheerleaders. For Friday a softball game was planned between the faculty and TV per- sonalities but this had to be cancelled because of rain. Saturday, at 11 a.m. the gym became a “flea market.” There were lamps, jewelry, crafts, T-shirts, antiques, baskets ... many things for sale. At the same time on the football field many Olympic type relays were held and the classes competed against each other. Arm wrestling, passing oranges, carrying eggs, piling into Sully’s car, were some of the com- petitive events.

Between yelling, telling peo- ple to get off the stage with food, telling them not to hang on the new curtains, and catching them doing strange things in a dark prop room, she had to (believe it or not) direct the play. She worked very hard, and it was nerve racking to watch her main characters reading from their scripts only a week before the performance. Finally she was rewarded from her efforts by a two night performance with minimal errors. The cast showed their appreciation by giving her a gold rose necklace and a big chocolate kiss.

Musical 101 From the beginning of the year to the very last days before the prom, motivated juniors spent long hours planning a prom they hoped would be the best ever. Everywhere one went a junior could be found who wanted something; whether it was collecting newspapers for a paper drive or selling candy. But as time passed enough money was raised to present the 1981 prom, “Time Holds Memories”, held at Imperial House North, May 8. Following the dinner and dancing, an after prom party was scheduled at U.S.A. North. The activities included skating, dancing, and electronic games. The fun filled evening will always be a pleasant reminder of our days at Alder. The tedious work was left up to junior class pres. Bob Farmwald. Creating a vine from tissue paper wasn't as easy as it looks Ten down, but a million to go — Frustration of stuffing wire.

The leadership of the Y-Teens changed this year as Mrs. Barbara Wood became the advisor. The cabinet and officers under their president Cindy DeLeon organized many projects for the year. The tradition of a Christmas Prom was changed to a spring dance. Dave Robinson, disc jockey provided the music and the Y-Teens provided the refreshments. The participation of the members and their dates far exceeded the past Christmas dances. At Easter the kindergarten students were given the treat of colored eggs that had been furnished and beautifully decorated by Y-Teens. The slave auction was a fun activity for members. All freshmen in Y-Teens were auctioned to upper classmen. This provided money for the organization and quite a show for the whole school. The day after the auction the members came to school dressed in outlandish garb and performed ridiculous tasks for their owners, often in front of lunch-time audiences. At the awards assembly in May the officers and cabinet were presented yellow roses in recognition and thanks for another successful year in Y-Teens.

All juniors and seniors who have a 3.2 grade point average are eligible to be chosen. But having good grades is not enough. One must show outstanding leader- ship abilities, good character and diligent service. This year’s NHS was headed up by Curtis Sagraves, Jenny Hess, Rhonda Miller and Sherri Hahn. The group began its activities early by par- ticipating in the float contest at Homecoming. NHS then proceeded to carry on their usual activities such as the greens sale, recognition of honor roll students and the most important, tapping the new inductees. The year came to end in a sad but memorable occasion as the new junior members had a breakfast for the graduating members. The excitement of being tapped into the NHS has not struck Kathryn yet.

Scheduling assemblies, such as the magic act was one of the Student Council projects. What does the Stud ent Council do? “Oh! They're the group that goes out to eat once a year, but they don’t do much else.” WRONG! The student council is and should be better known as the student government. This group is the go between of students and administration. When a student or group wants to change an injustice, they should go to their student council Representative. The council is the students tool to cultivate new ideas. The year was spent in constructing activities for the student body. Homecoming preparations began two weeks before school started at special summer meetings. The annual candy bar sale enabled the student council to sponsor a spectacular Homecoming. For the first year a float contest was added to the ceremonies. Centering the Dance theme around the 25th Anniversary, the council went all out to decorate the gym in white and silver. The “25th Jubilee music was presented by 92X DJ, Dave Robinson. After the early climax the council stayed at a steady pace. Various other activities included sponsoring assemblies, revising constitution and meeting with Dr. Clinefelter about school discipline problems. The year’s activities ended with a full-heated effort to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy. The council collected $102.

As the years go by the band seems to get better and better. This is due to the high expectation of band director, Rodney Spencer. The band students are challenged to perfect the playing of their instruments and also to take pride in being a band member. This year's band has been very successful in reaching those expectations. The year began with the usual summer camp and long, tiring practices to prepare for the football season. But a new tradition may have been started. The marching band's musical horizons were broadened as they traveled to New Albany High School and joined forces with their band to create a spectacular half-time show. Even though the football season can be cold and raining, the band never let the weather dampen their spirit and talents. The expertise of the band continued to play even when Mr. Spencer is not directing. The trumpet section becomes a spectacular attraction as they play to entertain the crowd at a basketball game. To top off the year, the Concert Band participated in two ratings contests. The first being the Central Ohio Contest, where they received a rating of three. The second contest proved to be the most exciting fun, as the band was invited to participate in the Opryland American Music Festival, in Nashville, Tennessee. There were many preparations before going on the three-day trip to Nashville. The band members sold cheese, sausage, pizza, and popcorn fritters to raise money to go. The businessmen and citizens of the community very generously worked and contributed time and money to make this trip a reality. And all the hard work paid off when the band received a rating of a two. PEP BAND Band 115 Tenor, Baritone and Base: First Row — Ken Yutzy. Jesse Cantrell. Ken Loy, John Mercer.

Both choirs gave their annual performances such as the Christmas program, Music-Parents, traveling to the grade schools, and the Arts Festival.

This year’s POWDER HORN editor is Kelly Syx and the 1957 editor was Martha Pennington. This may not seem extraordinary, but Martha Pennington is Kelly’s mother. The fact that Kelly skipped the second grade made the span of 25 years an even greater coincidence. Mrs. Sayre, yearbook adviser, asks for recommendations from sophomore English teachers. The person chosen to be editor must have writing talents, be organized, and be will- ing to work. Kelly served as the assistant editor her junior year in preparation for her duties as editor her senior year. “We never had to do all the things that Kelly has to do’’ said Martha Syx. The yearbook takes more candid photos today, instead of the mug shots they used to have. The page editors of the yearbook try to lay out attractive, eye-catching pages, in 1957 most of the pages had no established form before they were printed.

But the FFA also participated in meat judging and public speaking. Not surprisingly the FFA won several honors in their activities. The District Soil Judging Team placed 7th out of 21 teams. The chapter captured a second place trophy in the Marysville FFA basketball tournament. Ron Headings received a bronze rating in the prepared speech division. Scott Weeks captured the top honor of gold in the extemporaneous speaking. The year came to a dynamic close as the FFA’s annual banquet recognized the outstanding members. The banquet theme was centered around the 25th Anniversary. Parents were awarded door prizes. Ed Johnson, a favorite radio personality, addressed the guests.

At one of the monthly meetings the director of Fairhaven School for Mentally and Physically Impaired Children spoke. On November 26 and Dec. 17, FHA members and the advisers toured the school. On both occasions floral centerpieces were made and given to the school. Also, on those visits the girls helped the teachers at the school in their classes. The FHA HERO Week was enjoyable for members. The lockers were decorated, the teachers lounge was cleaned and the bulletin board in the lobby proclaimed FHA Week, February 8-14.

FIRST PLACE STATE WINNERS AND RHONDA A new organization open to students in business education was organized this year. The Future Business Leaders of America had a very successful year. Two weeks after it was formed, members traveled to Celina, Ohio for district contests. Almost everyone placed in the top ten of their areas and twelve were in the top five. making them eligible to compete at the state level. By selling thousands of lollipops and with the help of the school board, the 12 contestants with their advisers Mrs. Keiser and Mrs. Sayre were able to stay in Columbus two days for the State FBLA competition. That was a rewarding experience for the members who attended, especially for the two first place winners eligible to compete nationally. Rhonda Miller placed first in Clerk-Typing II and she and Kathy Hill placed first in the Poster Event. Together with Mrs. Sayre the two girls flew to Chicago for the National Competition July 1-4.

But not all people with a high grade point average excel in the subject of Math. Ever since his freshman year, James’ ability outshined his classmates. While other students were struggling in Algebra I, James went on independent study to finish Algebra I and II by the end of the year. Even in Geometry, James worked ahead of the class at his own pace. College Math, the in- famous course for causing seniors headaches posed no problem for James his junior year. With nothing else to take his senior year, James spent the year studying a precalculus course on his own. Not only did James excel in class, but he utilized his ability and participated in math contests at the local and national level. James finished first in math competition each year in high school. As a senior he placed 31 in a group of 29,497 students regardless of school size or type. He was 7th in schools ranked in size of 100-199 per grade and 3rd in local school districts regardless of size. The percentile rating of James’ score was 99.9%.

'W John enjoyed doing his part of work on the backpacking trip. 138 Backpacking Sometimes it was necessary to dry clothing — often at a great risk. ()u tloor _ tlven tu rerS There was a trip to New River Gorge and an exercise in repelling at Hayden Run Falls for the backpacking club this year. The trip in April was very exciting. It was chilly until you got involved in all the activities. Shifts were organized: some on KP duty, some on starting fires, some on set- ting up camp. The down river trip was ex- hilarating; several people fell out — all got wet. The wet suits provided by the professional raf- ting company kept the campers comfortable. After a day of fun and hard work the food tasted like a “gourmet feast. This was the first time a mobile home had been taken on one of the trips and it really was great. It was like a “home away from home.” Missy Sanford, Pat Cooper, Trent Edwards, Chris Luzader and Steve Roberts went repelling with Ms. Schwendenman at Hayden Run Falls. This was new to Missy, Chris and Steve, but the other “old hands” soon had everyone scaling down the rocks like old pros. After a couple of times down the rocks the fear disappeared and the outting became one of fun. m, ■-.� .■ ' w A wet and tired group of rafters pose in all their garb at the end of the trip — their faces seem to reflect Look Ma, I made it.

But the season wasn’t all glamour and glory. Long tiring hours of practice and floor- burns were all part of the sacrifice toward earning the winning season. The ups and downs of the games kept the fans on edge, but most always the team from Alder came out on top. The Varsity team closed the season with a 19-4 record.

But they overcame these obstacles and went on to finish a 4 and 16 season with a smile. The team was honored to have the cheerleading squad come out to cheer them on. Even Dr. Clinefelter got in on the action and golfed 18 holes with the team. Coach Demooy said he’s looking forward to working with the younger players and developing a highly competitive team. .

Part of this success can be attributed to the new Head Coach, John Rockne. He and his team’s en- thusiasm contributed to the victories, especially in the West Jefferson game. Senior Chris Cooper’s exciting 50 yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter gave us the lead and the victory in that game. Chris received the team’s MVP award and All District Honorable Mention as did Jeff Livesay.

Being called the “Lady Jay Ferguson doesn’t bother Judy Purdum at all. “A player of Ferguson's ability in female form” is how one newspaper described her, and the descrip- tion holds true. Playing only three years of Varsity, Judy scored 985 points. “Just by watching others play I can learn their moves and use them in my own style” — and that is exact- ly what Judy has done. Her titles and honors are many, pro- ving that she is the best ball player Jonathan Alder girl’s basketball has ever seen. Judy has held the title of All- CBL first team every year of varsity play and her senior year Judy earned the All-District third team honor. Judy broke the record for most points scored in a single game her junior year with 36 points and also holds the record for most rebounds with 26. Judy's sophomore year was memorable and athletes like Kelly Hommon helped compli- ment Judy's style when the pressure was on. Her junior year Judy’s performance peak- ed. Scoring 447 points for the season and averaging 14 re- bounds, Judy became the “man” to shut off. “Which one is Purdum?” became a familiar question ask- ed by all the other basketball teams in the league. “The pressure was so great” says Judy.

Girl’s Basketball 161 Skying for the ball Jo Ellen gets the tap dauti on: Jen lA orkincf Capturing two big wins over Academy and Grand- view, the Alder matmen opened the season on the right foot. The young grapplers fell to inexperience and tough competition throughout the year however. During the six months of grueling practice, the matmen were building character and shaping future champions. “This was a rebuilding year for us, said Coach Ibarra. Doug Fisher, Jerry “Moose” Sullivan, and David Fetty all have the potential to be state champs which was evident throughout the season. The Pioneers placed 18th out of 24 at the Marion Flarding Invitational. In the JA Invitational losing by three points to Lima Shawnee, Alder placed second. The grapplers had one champ, Chris Cooper at 132 lbs. and two second-place finishers, Mark Izzard — 126 and Vince Llaneza — 138. Going into the CBL the Pioneers had high expectations. But due to in- juries suffered by four wrestlers, the matmen ranked 10th. With the season close to an end, the grapplers showed their strength by defeating New Albany and Olentangy, the CBL champs, in a triangular meet. The Sectional tournament brought out hidden talents in the Alder wrestlers. Mark Izzard fell to the sec- tional champ by only one point and ended taking 6th place. Chris Cooper placed second and Vince Llaneza third, qualifying them for the District tourna- ment. Here the season came to a halt. Vince Llaneza took 6th with a career record of 55-12. Chris's dream of a second State Championship was crushed when he suffered chest and shoulder injuries in the district finals, leaving him with an overall record of 115-18-1.

(Jnce a CL m p, JL a anif) Every wrestler’s goal is to become a State Champion. The taste of victory is so great that the athlete strives to sample it again and again. But no athlete can be number one unless he or she has determination, strength of body and mind, discipline, patience and most importantly dedica- tion. By having these qualities Chris Cooper achieved the ultimate goal of becoming State Champion in 1980. Despite an injury, Chris was determined to wrestle in the Dis. finals. Chris began wrestling his freshman year under the coaching of Bob Sequist. The older and more experienced wrestlers, Mike Stalnaker, Sam Bowers, Paul Rausch and Steve Vowell, impressed upon Chris the qualities of a champion. Cooper’s freshman and sophomore years were a time for learning and building. In 1978 Chris placed well in the tournaments: first CBL, third JA, and fifth Districts. In 1979 he finished second Marion Har- ding, second CBL, first Licking Heights, and se- cond Districts. Chris reached the peak of his wrestling career in his junior year. Having the strength and knowledge he placed first in every tournament except one: Marion Harding. There Chris captured third. But Cooper did not stop until he reached the top; he went to the State tournament only to be named State Champion at 132 lbs. in the A weight class. Chris’s senior year was filled with high expecta- tions. His final and overall record was 115-18-1. He placed first in the JA and Marion Harding tour- naments and placed second in the Licking Heights tournament, Sectionals and Districts. Due to a chest and shoulder injury, Chris never made it to the State tournament. Even though he wasn’t able to recapture his championship title, the year was a great success for him. Being Vice-President of the Senior Class and a leader on the football and wrestling teams has taught Chris that there is more to being a cham- pion than the record on the mat. Wrestling 165 diae J idt The unity between pitcher and catcher must be strong for a winning season. The “Great American” sport baseball got off to a very slow start at Alder. In fact it almost didn't start at all. The Administration advertised for a coach for a couple of months and finally Jim Stoll agreed to coach. Now, Jim is physically small but he is big in enthusiasm and dedication. He soon had the team all “fired up” and winning! The season ended with 11 wins and 9 losses, which doesn’t look too great in copy but actually this was the best record in baseball for several years. Coach Stoll was injured at the end of the season when a car struck him but he “landed on his feet”, is in good shape, and will be returning for better things next year. The level headedness of Coach Jim Stohl pulled the Pioneers out of tight spots. 166 Baseball Doug's hitting came through in pressure situations (7th inning West Jefferson). r Row 1 — Randy Morrow, Dale Headings, David Miller, Doug Mitchell, Chris Cooper, Kenny Yutzy, David Houchard.

But there is more to a team than just winning games. We learn from our mistakes, thus we grow to become strong. The girls softball team was always ready, willing, and enthusiastic even when times were rough. They gave their all, but always seemed to come up just a step short of the opponent.

Officer’s duties almost over. No wonder Mrs. Sayre couldn’t get practices going. Graduation 215 1981 lAJai Good ll ear The end of the year marks a time of change. Teachers will be leaving, returning and just joining the staff here at Alder. Underclassmen will move up in rank while seniors return only to visit. Jobs, technical school and colleges will now claim our graduating class. But to replace the seniors will be a new tribe of savages called Freshmen, and soon enough they’ll learn the tricks of being a high school student. Tricks like roaming the halls for four years without a hall pass, signing into the sick room just before a test period, going to the Dutch Kitchen for lunch, talking their way into and possibly out of detentions, and the list goes on. Most importantly however, they will learn what j Jonathan Alder High School is all about. Qualities I like pride, school spirit, enthusiasm, leadership, in- volvement, and just plain having fun make getting j an education at Alder worth it all. Alder will always be a place to call home where we can look back with fond memories of times i past. It is our hope that you cherish these memories as much as we, the Powder Horn Staff do. The 1981 Powder Horn Staff has tried to make this silver anniversary year a year to be remembered. 216 The End
