A « • . � •• Dedication Motivation. This must be the most strenuous aspect of education. When students actually read a text or complete a writing assignment the teacher must be fulfilling her goals. She tames a pack of frenzied students with incredible stamina and a fiery face. She creates the illusion that her students are in command, yet actually she holds the reins. Somehow she extracts a tremendous amount of energy from her classes. Students learn. It doesn’t matter how resistance is established Mrs. Beach breaks through. Perhaps it is great ambition which drives her or maybe just a dream, but whatever it is we commend you and dedicate the 1982 Powder Horn to Beth Beach. As drama club advisor, Mrs. Beach has helped many discover the fun of acting. Dedication v Elizabeth Beach d“k- « = .K« Sweet from the start, Mrs. Beach’s feeble beginnings began •right here. Married for fifteen years, Beth and Bob Beach. As a 1965 graduate of Alder Mrs. Beach and her husband attend- ed various activities here. Mrs. Beach’s winning personality was even evident as a child. As a student of Bowling Green University, Mrs. Beach was initiated into Alpha Z Delta. Personalities Alder is the melting pot for many unique personalities. The halls echo with the laughter and tears of the unforgettable per- formers. From the ornery pranksters and comedians to the intellectuals and sophisticates, they all come together to make Alder a special place to grow and learn. The pranksters keep the teachers on their toes. Who knows when a dissected frog may suddenly appear in a desk or a teacher’s textbook mysteriously disappear before class. Class clowns are closely associated to the pranksters in their mutual purpose to sidetrack the teacher. Laughing becomes contagious, as jokes and stories replace boring lec- tures. These people have that special knack for class disruption. Hiding behind thick glasses engrossed in a book, we find the intellectuals of Alder, every teacher’s dream come true. These studious “bookworms” always have their homework in on time; anything lower than a “B” is a federal crime. Intellec- tuals and sophisticates usually hold the more responsible posi- tions open to students. An air of poise and worldly confidence follows the sophisticates in all they do. They know just how to charm the teacher to get their way. The trials, tribulations, and friendships that grow when these personalities mix, make Alder an interesting and memorable experience. 4 That's Entertainment As best friends, Gary and Robert are close, but this is ridiculous. Yes, Mr Hitchens, there is a Santa Claus 1 Romancing in French class, Bruce shows Kami his idea of “french kissing. That's Entertainment 5 The spirit from the students has motivated many Alder teams to victory. A rebellious slave will surely “catch it from her master I can’t seem to remember Ah, yeah, that’s it That test wasn’t so bad It takes all of Tim's skillful agility to run the ball through a line of tacklers. Inquisitiveness must be developed order to perform well. That’s Entertainment in a chemistry student in Auctioneering isn't a tongue twister if you can talk as fas. as J Academy Award Making mistakes is all a part of learning to type well. Playing Pomp and Circumstance ' over and over again in graduation practice can be a mouth numbing experience. Perfor- mances Life is a stage and we are the actors. I believe Shakespeare said that or something quite similar. This is evident in our society. Why we have a regular stock company right in our midst at Alder. It takes something more than physical ability to hold an au- dience in the palm of your hand. A basketball player must have incredible recall because when the spotlight is shining he becomes the star. Take a look at a baseball team. Those nine active bodies resemble a bunch of clowns. As the team juggles the ball between themselves, I smile. The whole scene would be com- plete if only they would paint their faces. A key to success is a flair for the dramatics. If one is blessed with such an asset the world is theirs. It is this quality which permits students to attend classes at leisure and take off for a shopping spree by pretending to be sick. Alder students always put their best foot forward in everything. So when the curtain opens, hold your head high, and give it all you’ve got. That's Entertainment 7 Stage Fright The senior year is a rough time for the many seniors who must make plans for their futures. FFA activities broaden the minds of these young farmers for a successful career in agriculture That's Entertainment The stage is set and the time has come to move on. New ex- periences await everyone from the incoming freshmen on up to the graduating 1982 seniors. Growing and branching out are all a part of life. As frightening as it may seem we learn to over- come our fears of firsts. As freshmen the first of entering high school can be overwhelming. It’s a time of big adjustment that disorients many. The trauma of being ac- cepted by upperclassmen and just plain fitting in awaits them. By the sophomore year students are more settled. They’ve moved up in status. No longer are they the shy lower classmen to be picked on. More responsibilities are laid on their shoulders. “Life in the fast lane” describes those with their first crack at driving a car. Juniors bear the frightening weight of the Jr.-Sr. prom. Pro- ject after project to raise money must be organized and followed through to make it a success. The senior year, though ex- citing, is a time of great anxiety. Big decisions must be made concerning the future. Career choices and selection of col- leges overtax the brain. Being a teenager has its rough moments, but once those seemingly mountainous steps are crossed life seems a little more meaningful rhe excitement of foreign travel outweighed Lisa's fear of living in the Jnited States. tucking into a trash can, Mary hopes she won't be missed from taking test. For a Y-Teen slave singing for a cafeteria full of people can be embarrassing. Competing in sports helps freshman, Neala, become better ac- quainted with the upperclassmen at Alder. That’s Entertainment 9 Mischief-makers, Cathy and Jody, enjoy tormenting Mrs. Sayre Preparing breakfast is more exciting for Andy Morrow than study- in class. ing skeletons. ickedly Anita contemplates wha, evil fate will befall Bob During lunch break. Marsha takes the „me to cha, w„h a s,ck friend 10 That's Entertainment One last peek before the test gives Kim the confidence she needs to get a good grade. Some people eat during lunch, but Marla and Christy enjoy playing with their toys. Take Five At the sound of the bell the rush begins. The energy stored while having to sit still and be quiet can no longer be con- tained, and explodes into a wild frenzy of confusion. It’s time to let loose. The sounds of lockers slam- ming, feet stomping, and peo- ple yelling are enough to drive anyone mad. Hustling to their destinations, many catastrophes may befall those who are not constantly on the lookout. Elbows in the side, feet on top of feet, and bending to pick up a book may result in a sprawl to the floor. It closely resembles a stampede of wild elephants. The new frosh usual- ly add to the confusion by walk- ing down the wrong side of the hall. The frisky energetic boys take this time to teasingly punch each other, usually sending some innocent bystander hard against a locker — not a pleasant feeling. Gab groups flock to the very center of the unorderly hall to spread the latest rumors and gossip. Others spend the few minutes pacifying a growling stomach. When the tardy bell finally rings the halls are once again ghostly silent. The students, who are now more settled, syn- chronize their watches for another long 42 minutes of lecture. That's Entertainment 11 A nine iron probably would have helped Julie better than an aluminum bat Cnccre The word “encore” is defined as a performance done in addi- tion to a regular program. Many Alder students repeatedly per- form above the expected level and take on extra work along with their regular schedule. These people all devote a large measure of energy to their ac- tivity, whether it is sports, clubs, band, cheerleading, or academics. Each expects from himself the discipline and energy to perform to the best of his abilities. Some students are in the spotlight and receive ap- plause for their efforts, others do not; all work equally hard. As the last person to be tapped Into NHS, Ernie did a lot of sweating before he was recognized 12 That's Entertainment Class Officers Keith Cartwright —President Scott Spires — Vice President Kristal Lane — Secretary Marsha Yutzy — Treasurer '6 Seniors The Twenty-Sixth Graduating Class Motto Do not follow where the path leads.

He went in June with a group from Teen Missions to build a church for the Haitians. They stayed on the island until August to visit other churches and to learn about the islanders. The Haitians and their way of life left a big impression on Mike. Their happiness was one of the first things Mike noticed. He stated that their lives are not cluttered by modern conveniences and clocks. The pace of their lives was much slower than what Mike was used to. Mike feels he learned a lot about people from this experience. Mike believes the trip has changed many of his ideas. He has learned not to overlook the little things and not to take things for granted. How important it is to be happy with what you have was another lesson that Mike learned. He feels that the trip has deepened his convictions and was definitely worthwhile. Mike is planning to go back again next June.

Never- theless, Kelly loves horses and has become an accomplished equestrienne. She became involved in horses when she was just six years old. Kelly grew up around horses, her father showed horses and she naturally became interested. Her first animal was a pony. Now Kelly has a quarterhorse, Dusty, which she shows in competition around the state. She is also a member of a 4-H horse club. Kelly feels horses will always be a part of her future. Even though she is planning a career in computer sciences, Kelly hopes to continue to train and show horses. For Kelly, training horses is a challenge and gives her a feeling of self-satisfaction in the work she does. Kelly is very proud of her horses and the way they perform.

Seniors 25 Money, Money, and More Money “Hi! I’m putting myself through high school sell- ing doughnuts ... Oh you’re on a diet. Could I in- terest you in some flower seeds then?” Have you ever realized how much money just slips through your fingers during those golden years of high school? Our “free education” entails so many extra-curricular expenses. That rumor about inflation, it’s true. What in the world are tennis shoes made of? Why would anything made purposely to get muddy cost $40? Avarice. I suppose there’s a little in everyone, especially the junior class. True, it is necessary to raise money for a successful prom but no one asked that they sponsor a royal ball. There is a limit to how much candy I can consume. As for slave auctions, is anyone really proud to say, “I was sold at the age of 17 so my school could serve roast beef at the prom”? I’m rather hesitant about becoming a senior. My eyes become filled with visions of price tags. Caps and gowns, t-shirts, pictures, and invitations start floating through the air while I complete the forms to apply for bankruptcy. What a nightmare. Some seniors estimate they have spent about $400 during their Alder experience. I would ima- gine that the money they invested here is probably more beneficially spent though than the money given such funds as “Save the Petunias.” T SUSIE NOLLEY 26 Seniors BRYAN OILER GINNY PENNINGTON JACKIE PETERMAN KATHY REINHARD ROBERT RIEBEL Seniors 27 MELISSA RING CATHY RIPLEY JOHNDA ROBINETTE JIM ROBY STEVE ROHRER SHERRIE ROLLINS Independent studying improves Jim's education in the world of business.

KAREN RUSH MELISSA SANFORD FRED SCHRECK TERRY SEDAM BRUCE SIDERS 28 Seniors Right Up His Alley When it comes to bowling, you’re talkin’ right up Steve Carpenter’s alley. At the age of three Steve got his first taste of the sport when his father bought him a set of plastic pins. Since then, he has successfully moved his way up in the bowling world. Steve started bowling in leagues at the Plain City Lanes at age 10. His natural ability has been a great asset to his game. “I’ve never been coached and I regret that, but I have learned to evaluate myself.’’ His job at the bowling alley has helped supplement practice time in which he dedicates himself to improving his fundamentals. “Learn mechanics and apply them,” is Steve’s motto. Statistically, he has an average of 190 and a game high of 297. In 1980 Steve placed fourth in the state in the 12-21 age bracket. Steve’s ultimate goal is to go pro and be recognized on televi- sion. With his exceptional talent, a good sponsor, publicity and a lot of luck Steve hopes to keep the ball rolling. “Never stop reaching,” he says. “You have to have confidence to achieve your dream.” Seniors 29 TONY SMETANA ERIC SOMMERFELD TOM SPARKS BRAD SPIRES JENNY VANCE CHRIS WALKER MICHELLE WARD JOELLEN WILSON Mter eating in the school cafeteria, Tony contemplates the neaning of life TOM WILSON STACEY YANSCIK Seniors 31 ANTHONY TINKER REINA TOBIN DAVE TOMLINSON LEETURVEY ANDRAYODER JON YUTZY DAVID YODER KEN YUTZY JEFF YODER MARSHA YUTZY ROBERTYUTZY GARY ZORNES RONDA YONIS MURRAY YUTZY Not Pictured: Ron Biedleman Mark Butler Troy Dehart Phil Dunn Judy Frye Jerry Frye Tracy Glass Vernan Glick Robert Howard Brent Lindsey Joe North Mary Jane Sparks Sherry Studebaker Kathy Winn Larry Zornes Make Way World We’re CHILD CARE — Knowledge of children provide Lisa Fran- cis, Rene Tobin (seated) and Melissa Ring with the oppor- tunity to administer child care after graduation.

Phil Johnson, Ron Beidelman, Jim Moore and Scott Sullivan dealing with problems of an engine will most definitely contribute to their employment. FOOD MANAGEMENT — the expectation of a noon rush causes Dale Polluck to prepare food in advance. Vocationally Trained! As you meander through the local businesses notice the employees. Many are Alder graduates from JVS. Graduates have advantageous knowledge which assists in obtain- ing jobs. With the broad curriculum of- fered at JVS students’ education has few boundaries. This year a new program was instated. It was titled Distributive Education. Two seniors from Alder ventured into the class. They were taught voca- tional skills then placed in related jobs. With the present economy it’s reassuring to know Alder students aren’t unprepared. DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION — Pioneers in AUTO BODY — Are John Jordan and Joe North really learning to care for a car or a new program permits Lisa Satterfield and preparing to become window washers? Chris Walker to enter JVS during their senior year.

These seniors played demolition derby with their bumper boats. i Everyone’s eyes became bigger than their stomach’s when they viewed the enormous amount of food that could be eaten at the San Dar. A little help is needed to send Fred and Bob on their merry way. The long bus ride has made Tony sleepy, but the cold water will wake him up fast. Interrupting classes with honking horns was a thrill for the car caravan.

As the minutes drew nearer to 4:00 anxious seniors hustled and bustled about ironing gowns and pinning caps into place. Every last detail had to be perfect. The sounds of “Pomp and Cir- cumstance” filled the air as the 117 seniors marched across the football field, clutching wind blown caps. Holding their heads high, the distinguished looking students listened intently to the numerous speakers and the music of the band and mixed chorus. You wouldn’t recognize them as being the same rowdy crew who had thrown paper airplanes and carried on during graduation practice just days before the actual ceremony. No, these are men and women of today, preparing to go out and con- quer the world.

Graduation 43 Juniors MONEY-MAKING PROJECTS: FRUSTRATION FRUSTRATION FRUSTRATION Expectations of the Juniors are high at the beginning of the year. As time goes on and the planning of the prom begins, they are bogged down with numerous money making pro- jects. It was decided that the prom would be at the Rivera Country Club. Therefore, the sale of M and M’s, bake sales and the slave auction became very important since the class needed $2,600. This year was a first when the teachers were sold at the auction for high prices — securing their place at the prom. Seated: President, Tina Seagraves. Standing: Vice President, Terri Williams.

Plain faces seemed to go out of style in 1982, as students became creative with emerging tongues, crossing eyes, and various other facial expressions that were displayed in Alder hallways. Faces were used to display spirit during tournament time, when Alder students proudly decorated their cheeks with the letters J.A.

Over the summer Karen visited Europe, in a whirlwind journey with the All-Ohio State Youth Choir. She ex- perienced Paris, drifted through Switzerland and danced through Germany. Lisse Jananinen brings tidings from Finland. She’s our exchange student. Lisse came to the U.S. with the Pacific International Exchange. Bryan was chosen to represent Ohio in the Lions Youth Exchange. He lived on a Swiss farm for 6 weeks where he learned Swiss customs and lifestyle.

(public displays of affection) is a no-no. Many high school honeys found a way around that rule, though. Some pairs found remote corners to hide away in. Empty classrooms were rendezvous for other couples. Even when walking down the halls you would see boyfriends furtively kiss their girlfriends. The braver couples held hands on their way to class. During lunch the pairs would feast their eyes on each other, totally ignoring their lunches. There was no way that threats of deten- tions or suspensions could keep the couples apart.

He is an avid baseball fan. Mark Syx is a very rich kid. He has over $5,000 worth of coins in a safety deposit box. His coin collection was begun as a child when Mark received the coins as gifts. Mark’s coins have been collected from all over the world. Tim Miller’s col- lection is more American.

During initia- tion we officially became members of Jonathan Alder High School, and we are proud of it. As we become more in- volved in sports, activities, and preparation for our futures, not only will we grow physically, but mentally. We expect the next three years to be exciting and memorable — something we can treasure all our lives.

Whether in snow or shine, the means of getting to school always vary. If you happen to be an underclassman, chances are you take one of the many buses that transport Alder students every morning. Upperclassmen seem to come and go on anything from mo-peds and snowmobiles to new T-birds and beat up Chevy trucks. The time spent coming and going to school on buses can take 1 1 2 hours but driving oneself would only take fif- teen minutes unless you slide in the ditch.

Although lectures and note taking still exist hopefully students have a larger interest in their curriculum. Economical Homemakers Traditionally Home Economics is only cooking and sewing, but at Alder it has become training for the future. The students in Singles Living learned about renting apartments, preparing tax returns, and doing laundry. Carrying “egg babies’’ taught the Child Develop- ment Class how much care human babies really need. Members of the Family Living class discovered how much time and effort goes in- to planning a wedding by actually staging their own ceremony. Alder’s Home Ec classes prepares students for setting up their own home. I v It takes a steady hand to decorate a cake; Jim and Jeff seem to have it under control.

Some days we eat, some days we sing; today we just study.” There is much more to a foreign language class than just memorizing nouns, verbs, and adjectives. The students who study French or Spanish also learn about the customs, songs, literature, and history of the native countries. Even though cooking the native foods and celebrating the French or Spanish holidays is fun, “les eleves” and “los estudiantes” have to study to learn their new language. French students learn about culture through the musical talents of Mrs. Gruber. Language 73 Learning Lessens If that were a comic book, maybe Jeff Barnhart would be more interested. Seeking perfection, Jon Allen and Tina Brown work intently on a project. There’s a room hiding at the end of Freshman hall. This room offers some students an individualized curriculum.

Shorthand is just another class for Paula Thomas to doodle in. Business Education 75 Artistic Creativity Interruptions are not welcome, Shelly needs peace while painting. The art students learn how to express their ideas through many different mediums. Begin- ning and advanced artists display their talents by sketch- ing, painting, weaving and other crafts.

A Touch ©f Class When the Central Buckeye League decided to divide the league into two divi- sions it posed no inconvenience for the Pioneers as they once again finished on top of their division with an 8-3 record. As the year progressed, so did the abilities of the underclassmen, as the six senior members provided their valuable experience to lead the way. The experience came through as the Pioneers hosted a much larger Wester- ville South team and rose to the occasion. The Pioneers came out on top of the match, the first ever between the two teams. One characteristic which stuck with the team throughout the year was being close knit. This was a disadvantage in the Marysville game where the old cliche “when one is down they’re all down” seemed in order, as Marysville defeated the Pioneers. The togetherness also led to exciting comebacks as in the Bexley game, where the Pioneers provided their home crowd with one of the more exciting matches of the year. The Pioneers fell short in the end of the game, but they demonstrated the talent and character they possessed. Shawn Headings and Jo Ellen Wilson were selected to the first team All-CBL for their efforts, and Sherry Hostetler receiv- ed second team. The reserve team also continued their winning tradition by finishing with a 16-2 record. A lot of effort is put forward to return the ball.

Th Pioneers had high hopes and numerous goals. With a stronc and experienced group of 20 seniors leading the way, nothing seemed impossible. The first game of the season was touted the biggest game ol the year from the first day of summer practice till opening kickoff. This is probably due to the fact that Alder was playing host to the Sandusky Perkins Pirates, a AAA school. The Pioneers showed the heart and pride the team possessed throughout the season by turning back Sandusky Perkins on many scoring opportunities. Size and quickness soon became too much to stop though, as the Pirates defeated Alder 18-0. The following week the Pioneers traveled to Fairbanks, a team which has been a rival for the graduating seniors since the first day they started football. Alder fell short 18-0 again, but Fairbanks went on to a 10-0 season record, taking no respect away from the Pioneers. Keith Cartwright provided the Pioneers with their first touchdown of the year when he scored on a three yard plunge on a muddy Buckeye Valley field. The Pioneers went on to defeat Buckeye Valley 19-13. Cartwright went on to gain over 500 yards and score 40 points on the year. The Pioneers once again had a hard fought battle with CBL champs West Jefferson. The Pioneers trailed only 14-0 at halftime, and came up just six points short at the game’s end. The Pioneers went on to finish on the short end of five more All eyes were on the sky as the fans watched the ball arrive. games, finishing with a 2-8 record. The season had its bright spots though as many individuals reaped awards.

A Number One Fan If you look really hard, between all the football players, coaches, and cheerleaders, you can see the familiar figure of •“Doc” Adams. He is truly a team booster, always attending the games dressed in red and black (The red coat was a gift from the team in ’79). For several years, Dr. John E. Adams has attended Alder’s games as team physician. Whenever a player is down on the field, Dr. Adams js there giving the injured the best possible care. He also gives free pre-season physicals to the team. Doc Adams is truly a part of the Alder football tradition. r= Golfers Ccfiey Season Will the intense study of the greens help James make a birdie putt.

Another disappointing season rolled around this year for the Jonathan Alder Golf Team. A team made up of four seniors and two sophomores went the entire season without recording a victory. Captain Eric Sommerfeld kept the team in high spirits throughout the season with his joking antics. The team at times would be really low and seemingly never getting any breaks and Eric could make landing in the pond funny. Especially the match against Triad when Eric tried to outshine his female opponent to no avail. The team’s best effort came at the end of the season when they set three records. Eric Sommerfeld and Mark Thomas set records for 18 and 9 holes respectively and the team set a new low of 170 for nine holes. A good start paid off at this meet when Alder came out ahead of Grove City Exact boundaries are pointed out by Coach Russell.

Cross country is classified as a track event, but actually it takes stamina and durability to com- pete in this area. For years Ray Russell has tried to develop this sport at Alder, even to the extent of volunteering his own labor. Mr. Russell spent many hours after school clearing the land for the new cross country course. The course is located in back of the school and is about 2.5 miles long. Led by first year runner Mike Gingerich and track veteran Steve Rohrer, both seniors, the team pushed its way to a 11-52 record. Mike Gingerich proved his agility by qualifying for districts at the end of the season. The pain of long-distance running was overcome and Mike became a sectional winner. Tension rises as Kelly and Debbie prepare to start. It's evident Steve is posing, but after all we had to have a picture of the Team Captain.

The end of last season brought with it the loss of leadership in the team and it was also the last year for coach Andy Lombardo. But with the help of Coach Doug Carpenter, the team developed new leadership and rallied to achieve an overall record of 10-12. Alder seemed to be plagued this year by close games, such as the defeat by Mechanicsburg 57- 58, in which Tim Miller scored a high of 32 points, and the defeat by West Jefferson 55-56. These setbacks did not take root though and Alder finished a good season.

In a matter of ten minutes at the Licking Heights Invitational, three Alder wrestlers were put out with injuries. The injuries were hard to deal with, but so were many of the teams Alder faced, and more than once Alder wrestlers rose to the occasion. The tradition of Alder wrestlers going to state tournament was kept intact, as junior co- captain Dave Fetty compiled a 31-6 record and won his first match in the state. Fetty led the team in reversals, near falls, and pins. Senior co-captain Tom Lansing, Jeff Livesay, and Scott Spires all compiled winning records.

Batter Bp The softball team entered the 1982 season with a whole new look this year, two new coaches. Mr. Jones and Mr. Hit- chens, although new at coaching softball, were enthusiastic and ready to take the team farther than it had ever been in its prior two seasons. The coaches from the beginning em- phasized keeping the spirit of the team high so “we can beat that team.” The team played well enough to win 8 of 21 games in weather that ranged from a snowstorm, which made the field completely white, to 80° bright sunny days where sunburn was not uncommon. The girls had their ups and downs during the season but several games stand out. In three games the girls came from behind in the late innings to defeat teams who finished ahead of them in the league. They beat Olen- tangy 29-21 by scoring 11 runs in the last inning, 10 of them with two outs. They came back and defeated Dublin and end- ed the season with a 12-9 victory over second place Marysville. Although a team effort was always present there were several outstanding individual efforts put forth. Co-captain, Jo Ellen Wilson, led the team in every category at the plate, she batted .500 with 9 home runs (2 grand slams) and 48 RBI’s. Sherry Hostetler was the other co-captain and led the team at shortstop and also batted over .400 with 3 home runs. Pitchers were Marsha Dean with 44 strikeouts and Olive Yutzy with a 5-2 record. Julie Kaltenback put in an outstanding effort as a freshman by batting .382, third best on the team, and is one of many members who will return next year to lead the soft bailers on to an even better season than 1982.

When you say Cheerleader to most people, they pic- ture a cute, little, dumb — blonde with ponytails. It's not that way, though. Being a cheerleader requires a great deal of discipline and responsibility. Practices after school and breakfasts for athletes, attending summer camp, locker signs, ban- quets and pep rallies are just a few of the responsibilities. This year the J.A. Cheerleaders participated in all the activities and then some. So, the next time you see a cheerleader, don’t take such a negative attitude. A lot of people think girls are cheerleaders only for popularity — try to bear in mind the hard work and discipline and maybe you’ll see things differently.

Inf laticn Hits Prcm Prom planning is a big responsibility. The juniors had a lot of work ahead of them at the beginning of this year. Money making project after money making project — nothing seemed to give them enough money for what they wanted to do. Selling jewelry, M M’s, and ice-cream at Pioneer Days were a few of the projects. After looking over several locations for the prom, the juniors decided to have it at the Riveria Country Club and hire Tom Kelly as the D.J. The prom was a big success as evidenced by the student body dancing from the time the music started until the time it ended. The students were beautifully transformed from everyday jeans into princes and princesses with gorgeous gowns and very formal tux- edo attire. The dress for the evening was very ap- propriate fitting in with the theme, an “Evening in Paris.” Memories and thoughts are shared during one of the few slow dances at the prom.

Mr. Jones comments to Darrin Thompson about the art exhibit. 128 Festival of the Arts For the first time since his retirement, Mr. Starrett returned to create one more musical adventure. Finally, Saber Williamson and Meg singled out a favorite. Angelicly, the voices of the Symphonic Choir flowed through the air. Through the efforts of Mrs. Hill the chorus was directed by com- poser Garry Cornell. Talent is prevalent at Alder. I’ve seen the intricate doodles on desktops and heard anxious fingers roll out a melancholy interlude. When I dare to enter the Art Room I’m overwhelmed by creativity. I feel something in the voices of the chorus; and almost reach ecstasy by the sounds of the band. To my surprise, others feel this too. So each year Alder offers the ex- perience to everyone through something called an “Art Festival.” Trying to decide which exhibit was the best was a difficult task for Mr. Cooke.

However, the Alder team turned out a surprisingly professional and refined production. Tammy Stoker joined forces with our own Mrs. Hill to direct the musical this year which presented two freshmen in the lead role for the first time in Alder history. Bruce Beach played the French planter, Emile de Beque, with a certain grown-up poise.” Meg Williamson also did an exceptional job as Nellie Forbush. Richard Yutzy and Lori Pennington both gave professional and memorable portrayals of Lt. Joseph Cable and the native girl Lait. Playing the unforgettable Bloody Mary, was Lori Wright, who gave an equally unforgettable performance. One of the things that particularly enhanced the production was the outstanding job the ensembles of nurses and seabees did. Both ensembles did a commendable performance during the ren- dition of Honey-Bun with Meg Williamson and Tim Cheeseman. Tim Cheeseman surmounted many obstacles to achieve his por- trayal of the insubordinate seabee, Luther Billis. The work of the Art Department and the stage crew contributed incredibly to the success of South Pacific. It was a humorous and touching production that will not soon be forgotten. Bali Hai seems to be an interesting island as Lori sings to Richard. “I’m gonna wash that man right out of my hair.” Musical 131 Playing the roles of little girls was fun for Lynn and Lisa.

Curing “The Imaginary Invalid wasn’t as hard as curing twelve nervous cast members before the play began. Between the many numerous clothes changes and hurried returns to the stage the actors forgot to be nervous. The play was a success with the cooperation of behind the scenes people from the drama class and the actors who pulled together to put on a “very professional performance.” It is evident that the discussion of dissecting is not the way to charm a lady.

Nervous excitement abounds as the band prepares to perform another supreme show. Being the loudest in the band is easy when you are playing the trombone. Staying is straight lines while playing isn’t as easy as it looks. Band Music in Style This year the reaction from the audience when the band has performed has been enthusiastic. Com- ments such as “they are really improved” or “they sound great” are examples of community approval. Well the community of Jonathan Alder has done much to bring about this improvement. The sales projects of the band have been great successes and consequently the band has a “new look.” The girls are attired in long black skirts and white shirts. They were dressed in these outfits the first time at the Arts Festival and the word to describe them was stunning. The band received a 2 in contest in April. Several individuals had outstanding performances; Jody Calle, Lisa Roby, John Sullivan, Mike Harwood and Johnda Robinette received a 1 for percussion. Lori Wright received a 1 playing the clarinet and Sherri Griffin received a 1 for the flute. The band parents have worked very hard this year as usual. Many of the parents made the long skirts for the girls and they have provided financial aid many times. During a cold afternoon, the band contributes Christmas spirits to Plain City. «ner riaiiume, i om ana ram reiare misiaKes maae auring uh show. Woodwind: Marsha Dean. Kathy Reinhard.

Fighting through the jungle of forgotten photographs she led her depending troops through three deadlines. Even with her incredible stamina Mrs. Sayre softened at Christmas. She threw back the tent flaps and held a potluck luncheon for the platoon.

Student Ceuncil Voice of Alder Students While the 1981-82 Student Council continued many old traditions, they also started some new ones. This year members joined in discussion groups with local senior citizens and gained many new insights into the community. A student ex- change with Shekinah Christian School allowed Alder council members to study the pros and cons of private education. Homecoming and Pioneer Days were just two of the projects the council put a lot of effort into. Various assemblies were also sponsored by the student council. During meetings, the members took turns ex- pressing their ideas for improving Alder. Several suggestions and proposals drawn up by the coun- cil concerning the athletics codes and discipline policies were implemented by the administration. Senior members headed the elections for next year's council members. Talking with the Senior Citizens.

During the semester exams it was the Math Club who sponsored the Rubik’s cube contest, which Chris Morrison won. The entry fees and test fees for the Na- tional and State math contest were paid through the efforts of this club. There was talk of discontinuing the Math Club, but the interested members protested. Next year it is hoped that many underclassmen with math ability will join up. During Pioneer Days the Math Club participated by selling popcorn at the movies.

Members sold 6,000 tootsie pops and 2,100 doughnuts in order to reduce the cost of registration and hotel fees. The contest was held at Stouffer’s in Dayton, Ohio. It was a rewarding experience for the members who attended. Always ready to lend an ear for advice, Mrs. Sayre listens intently to Tammy Rush, a guest speaker from Wendy's.

With the formal installation of new officers and members as the first event, the chapter was off to a good start with Kristal Lane as President, Tina Lovejoy as Vice President, Kelly Estep as Secretary, and Brenda Miller as Treasurer. One of the first activities was a hayride and weiner roast with the FFA. The chapter went on to sponsor an exercise class which was held on Tuesday evenings to promote physical fitness for students and staff. They also had a bake sale and raised $50 toward the state project at Children’s Hospital. An interesting project for the year was the club’s visit to Fairhaven where they assisted in the classrooms. During February 8-12 the National FHA HERO week at Alder was filled with numerous and fun activities such as jelly bean contest, teacher breakfast and the annual “hush day.” The presentation of birthday lap robes by Dawn Watson to the Milcrest Nursing Home residents was very satisfying.

Rob Graber received first place and Rob Farmwald was second and John Wilson and Burt Roby tied for third in Madison County. Six students attended the National Convention with Mr. Elliott and his wife. While there they attended many sessions and activities. This year FFA went on many field trips, two of which were the Farm Science Review and Andy Farmwald’s annual consignment sale. The Chapter also participated in the Parliamentary Procedure contest and received first place. Mitch Mitchell competed in the creed speaking contest where he received a silver rating. The year finalized with our 26th annual banquet which was said to be “the best banquet ever.” Business Education Award by the Ins. Women of Madison Co. and Nat. Choral Award: Kathy Reinhard.

Even the teachers took time to make donkeys of themselves 166 Pioneer Days Pioneer Pays Are Here Again Once again the Alder Booster Club put together a profitable and fun Pioneer Days. Students and facul- ty alike opened the festival by competing in a Donkey Basketball game. The stands were full of spectators watching their favorites fall to the floor from the rodeo-like animals. The festival also added a five- mile run and a Pioneer Days Invitational track meet, where the Alder boys team captured a second place trophy. Food was plentiful and delicious as Mr. Rockne and Company put on a Chicken Bar-B-Q that received rave reviews. The Home Ec department also delivered a wonderful meal that included their own specially cooked spaghetti. James Hochstetler takes time from the track meet to get in- volved with the fun. Struggling the last struts to the finish, Ronnie Brannom com- pleted the 5 mile run. Pioneer Days 167 Students marched to the theme of appreciation during Warm Fuzzies Week Due to the ability of Dave Toman and Mike Beachy the students were victorious 168 Assemblies Save a Textbook During the talent show Bruce Beach, Dave Parker and Mike As an MC James Hochstetler was average but Turning Point was Harwood performed placing second. outstanding. Gc tc an Assembly Instigating “Warm Fuzzies must be a rewarding experience for Jim DiRaddo. “Could we please have the juniors to the auditorium?” Although having Murray Yutzy and Steve Rohrer represent the students, Mr. Lambka and the faculty dominated with a victory. Have you ever really pondered over the issue of assemblies? I really enjoy assemblies. Actually it's not assemblies I like but the advantageous opportunities an assembly offers. Variety is added to the monotony of the day as schedules are inverted and classes are shortened. But the biggest thing is how students learn by seeing different types of lifestyles and unusually talented students. A stock company sponsored by the Drama Club performed a rendition of Poe. Assemblies 169 Alder's public relations director Karen Rush personally thank- ed Freefare for appearing. Patriotism prevailed as Father Kemp expressed his attitudes toward the flag.

It may be over, but the memories will go on living. Soon a whole new group of faces will replace those leaving and life at Alder will resume as usual. We, the Powder Horn Staff have composed, directed and produced this year of memories and hope “That’s Entertainment has adequately captured the memorable year of '82.
