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

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
