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«

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.
