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

Text from Pages 1 - 188 of the 1984 volume:

Dedication The atmosphere we have to learn in is a determining factor on how well we perform. Friendly people and an efficient, clean school is essential. Tom Cheeseman has provided both of the above provisions at Alder for 8 years. Tom was born in London and has lived in Madison County all his life. He worked for 22 years at the Westinghouse factory before becoming employed at Alder. Through 30 years of marriage Tom has 4 sons that have all graduated from Jonathan Alder and prompted his attendance at everything from football games to musical productions. He lives only a half mile from the school and is always available for forgotten books, unexpected fires, and blizzards. Whenever the pop machine breaks, or the heat goes beserk Tom is always there to help. He is likewise a friend to the students whenever and wherever they see him. With thanks and appreciation the Yearbook staff proudly dedicates the 1984 Powderhorn to custodian, Tom Cheeseman. We're All in This Together It is a certainty that everyone who throws their cap into the air on graduation day leaves high school with fond memories, exciting visions, and an arsenal of friends that they will cherish for a lifetime. During high school, relationships are built in an at- mosphere where the students work and play together. Both good times and trying times are shared and dealt with in the world of closely knit high school comrades. For four years the students rack their brains to excel in class, they test their bodies to excel in athletics, and they engage in activities of all sorts to excel in life. Encompassing a period of time that molds lives and personalities, high school is a vital factor in shaping the future. With the tests, games, and experiences of another year behind us it is comforting to stand beside your fellow Pioneers and realize that “We are all in this together.” Introduction 3 People The friendships formed in high school are probably some of life’s strongest. Influencing how we dress, act, and what activities we partake in, our fellow classmates are people to party with and shoulders to lean on when things get rough. It is the calibre of students that fill a school which determines how far it can reach and the goals it can obtain. The Pioneer students are a firmly bound troupe with the Alder sense of adventure and exploration to carry them on after high school. In a small rural school such as Alder each student and faculty face is familiar. Teachers who are new arrivals at JA note its opportunities for close individual relationships between students and faculty. Within a world full of pressures and uncertainties it is reassuring to be part of a system as personal and lasting as Jonathan Alder. ■ A lot more than reactin', writin', and 'rithmetic goes into a high school schedule these days. Ad- vanced placement, individual studies, and college preparatory courses make the Alder curriculum com- plex and enriching. The science program does everything from make solar hot dog cookers to dissecting pig hearts. Bury- ing time capsules and simulating world wars make the social studies department exciting. Alder’s students are not creatively deprived with courses like, art, chorus, and industrial arts. Home Economics classes are always cooking up something delicious or staging a wedding. The Alder business program has expanded greatly to include computer technology and the nationally competitive FBLA. A diverse and interesting English department is a tradi- tion at JA that encompasses literature, journalism, and mass media. Our new found computer resources have made the math program cover everything from IBM to trigonometry. High school is the stepping stone to higher educa- tion or the world of work. Either way it is essential that we leave Alder with experience and knowledge. Curriculum L Introduction 5 Activities From trips to France to musical productions, Alder embodies numerous organizations and ac- tivities that make school a little more bearable. The assorted Pioneer clubs and extracurriculars offer insight for students into their future and their personal interests. At Alder one can learn how to be a business leader in FBLA, or a teacher in FT A; one can explore Agriculture in FFA and ex- hibit their creative talents in the Photo Art club. Aspiring actors and actresses entertain the student body every year with plays and a musical. During spring break the French Club took school activities to the limit and packed up and went to France. There is something for everyone who wants to take the time and put forth the effort. 6 Introduction PEOPLE People Division 9 Responsibilities Keep Board Members Busy NEWLY INDUCTED BOARD MEMBERS — Jerry May, Jim Luce, and Larry Sager. 1883 BOARD MEMBERS — Eleanor Roby, President; Jim Boyd, Vice-President; Lyle Pearson; Mike George; and Doris Livesay.

Senior Roy Herdman began collecting stamps in the sixth grade. He enjoys going to collectors shops and hobby stores to view, buy, and trade. Over the past 6 years Roy has acquired a mass of stamps numbering close to 8,000 and worth over $1500. Stamps from all countries commemorating thousands of events and people are Roy's pride and joy. l Norway may seem distant to the students here but it is the country that Alder senior Ingeborg Rohnebak calls home. There will be few mountain ski trips or beach parties like Inge is accustomed to in Norway while she is an exchange student here at Alder. Inge spends her summers in Norway swimming, working, playing soccer, and helping on the farm. Adjusting to the changes of American culture is a major chore for a Norwegian. Christmas in Norway begins on December 24 and at 5:00 p.m. the chur- ches ring Christmas in. Norwegian school is also dif ferent. School age is seven and one attends the same school for six years. After that a three year comprehensive school follows and high grades can lead to high school. Schools in Norway only break for two months in the summer. Life at Jonathan Alder is hard enough for the natives to handle, imagine how it must be for a Norwegian. As president of Alder’s FT A Chapter, Mary Grover’s duties extend further than presiding over regular club meetings. She is responsible for tutoring eight year old Lamphenh Onechanmy, a Laotion im- migrant, that attends Plain City Elementary School. Mary is one of three tutors that helps this second grader learn of American customs and the basics of our language. The individual attention she receives is necessary to improve her vocabulary, because ac- cording to Mary, Lamphenh is the only one in her family that can actually speak English. Mary also en- joys learning from Lamphenh, who relates stories of what it’s like to live in Laos, a dictated country, and the danger her family en- countered when trying to escape. Mary enjoys working with Lamphenh, grateful that she’s not only helping Lamphenh, but also her Laotion family. Some students wash dishes for extra money in high school. Others work at McDonald’s, Rax, or similar institutions. Then, there are students like Jeff Collier, who works after school as a full fledged Plain City Fireman. Jeff’s father and brother are firemen and he began as a photographer for the department’s records and worked his way up to being a firefighter. “It’s just something I’ve always wanted to do.’’ In your time of need, whenever your life is at stake or your cat is up a tree you can rest assured now because Alder's own Jeff Collier is looking after you. 24 Seniors Seniors 25 People... Ones Who Counted Most Behind each organization that thrives inside Alder and functions as a vital part of academic and extracur- ricular life is a student who acts as a leader and a liaison between students and faculty. It is these people who so often offer their time and leadership to many groups and clubs that we commend. 1 DUANE STOLTZFUS: Computer Club President 2 — JEFF MITCHELL: President Future Farmers of America 3 — PAM GRABER: President Future Business Leaders of America; Editor of Pioneer Press and Vice Pres.

Excitement mounted as 102 graduates march- ed onto the field to the sounds of the traditional “Pomp and Cir- cumstance.” Valedictorian and Salutatorian Roy Herdman and Duane Stoltzfus gave their final words of wisdom to their classmates and the audience cheers rose as the Class of ’84 flip- ped their tassels and marched off the field to gather together for the last time and tossed their caps into the air.

They persevere though, and come through with flying colors. Many new and exciting ex- periences like choosing their class rings and par- ticipating in reserve (and maybe even varsity) sports are theirs to enjoy. Next year they will have the harsh reality of life thrust upon them with prom planning and such, but for now they remain happy as they are — sophomores.

Now the Pioneer sophomore bowls up to 20 games a week with an average of 185 and a high of 270. “I like the competition and I like to get better” said Rusty about his extensive pastime. He is a member of the Jr. Tournament Bowlers Association and has 3 medals from the YARA Association. Bowling is more than just a game to me and I hope to turn pro,” said Rusty of his ambitions. Locally Rusty is in a league that has won the regionals and gone to the State Tournament five times. With the talent and ambition that Rusty possesses it is hard to imagine how far he will go. 46 Sophomores If Debbie continues to concentrate and take caution producing Perhaps a brief course in filing would help Ron find perfect copy, she will surely get a good grade.

Last year it was the Junior Birdmen, and 1984 showed the debut of the Dales and the Bob’s Party Van people. Bob’s Party Van was developed by a clan of people who like to dress Hawaiian and party till they drop under the direc- tion of Bob Sharp. Mr. Byers thought that students were organizing a devil’s cult when five boys donned black hats with “DALE” on them, none of which were named Dale. The club turned out to be an innocent group who practice card play- ing, etiquette, and partying with their mentor, Alder Alumnus Dale Wilson. What would J.A. be without cliques anyway?

Spanish culture was emphasized by Mrs. Carlisle through a pihata party, a simulated market, and a Spanish vocabulary lesson in make-up application. Educational card games help these Spanish students increase their vocabulary skills. French II students find the informal atmosphere makes conquering a foreign language easier. An annual pihata party highlights second year Spanish classes. Curriculum 57 Quadratic equations are guaranteed to turn the head and boggle the mind. With the addition of Mr. Vernon, a veteran Colum- bus City teacher of 14 yrs., and 18 new IBM com- puters, the Alder math pro- gram expanded its horizons in 1984. The math depart- ment gained new skills and knowledge as the second year of the computer pro- gramming class prompted high enrollment, teacher workshops, and a whole new aspect for the JA students with a Computer Club and open periods for individual work.

Individually, several players on the Alder squad shined in the 1983 season, but as a team the Pioneers had a long season filled with setbacks and hard knocks. The year did not start out well when the Alder team endured two sound defeats by Ben Logan and Fairbanks. Further dif- ficulties developed when Head Coach John Rockne resigned after the season’s second game. His position was filled by Assistant Coach Deck Webb who then led the Pioneers to their first and only victory over Cincinnati Hillcrest. Alder’s var- sity football squad ended the year with a 1-9 record. Teaming up to lead the Central Buckeye League in passing and receiving yards was QB Tim Gray and WB David Houchard. Tim passed for a total of 865 yards to hold his No. 1 position in the CBL.

Gpikers Have Besi Season Ever Capturing first place in their CBL division and defeating Fairbanks for the first time in Alder history the Pioneer volleyball team finished a successful season. I was pleased when we won the sec- tionals, we didn’t make it to the regionals but it wasn't because we didn’t play well,” said Coach Schwendenman. The Lady Pioneers met teams that were not par- ticularly strong but had the ability to upset Alder. Finishing with an 18-7 overall record and 9-2 in the league, the team had two members win district honors. Tammy Oiler was first team all CBL and Lori Parsons received honorable mention.

The year didn’t go without its mishaps though. Matt Cooper broke his clubs and Matt North broke a school record while Mr. DeMooy got hit in the head. One of the biggest mishaps of the year was when three of the four varsity players were suspended from the team and three reserves were moved up so that Alder could compete in the CBL.

Returning letterman Don Schirtzinger was the only experienced member of the team.

Unlike other com- petitive events wrestlers must rely on themselves no excuses for poor performances and no one to blame defeat on. Even though the '84 team was young there were some outstanding grapplers. One of them, Rod Moore, made it to the Regional Competition where he placed 5th. Five wrestlers made it to Districts. They were: Rod Moore, Dave Houchard, Chris Luzader, Johnny Lewis, and Ron Barnhart. Other honors received were: Rod Moore, Most Outstanding Wrestler; Mike Roberts, Most Improved Wrestler; and Lamar Schlabach, Coaches Award. The year’s record does not show too much suc- cess but the young talent showed much improve- ment. Many of the starters on the team were com- pletely new in wrestling and therefore had to learn all the maneuvers and instructions of wrestling. Sophomore Ron Thomas concentrates on a pin.

The Lady Pioneers got through sectionals by defeating Johnstown and Olentangy at Centennial High School. They then travel to District tournaments at Gahanna which ended their season by losing to Buckeye Valley. Starters for the Lady Pioneers were Tammy Oiler and Carla Wolfe at guard position. Rene Scheiderer and Julie Kalten- bach at Forward position, and Monica Brannon at Center. Other members were Joyce Depp, Julie Wilson, Tammy Yoder, Debbie Graber, and Joan Schlabach.

There have been many fine athletes: Ferguson in Boys’ basketball, Cooper in wrestling but there has neyer been one athlete who excelled in three sports. Tammy played both volleyball and basketball for two years. Under the guidance of Coach Stoll, Tammy flourished in volleyball, which was to become her favorite sport. As a freshman, she played both varsity volleyball and basketball, and ran track. She continued throughout high school winning various awards and honors. She was selected MVP of the basketball team her senior year and qualified for both the regional and state track meets. As a senior Tammy was a member of the ALL CBL teams for volleyball and basketball and CBL in her event in track. According to Coach Buckerfield “Tammy is a quality athlete.” Once again Tammy arrives at the finish line ahead of the others.

The weather refused to cooperate, so boys’ track, girls’ track, baseball, and softball all practiced indoors. Anyone at school after 3 p.m. was taking a chance with their life when they stepped into the hall. But the teams kept working. They sprinted, jumped hurdles and did their daily workouts until the weather cleared. In spite of the weather the ’84 boys’ track team broke three school records. Chris Luzader broke the 100 meter dash record and two relay teams broke school records. These two winn- ing relay teams were the 1600 meter relay team of Matt Cooper, Darryl Beachy, Duane Gingerich and Richard Troyer; and the 3200 meter team of Matt Cooper Darryl Beachy, Duane Gingerich and David Walker.

They must support the team, promote school spirit, and meanwhile stay after school for long hours of practice. People feel the only job cheerleaders perform is cheering on the team to victory, but in reality their duties entail more than they receive credit for. It is not uncom- mon to see the Alder halls dotted with cheerleaders in sweats with their “jam boxes’’ painting hall signs to build up enthusiasm for the game. The squad also tried their skills as waitresses and cooks by rising before dawn to prepare a couple of senior breakfasts which many athletes could not arouse themselves to attend. Surprisingly, after signs, early morning workouts, cookies, and breakfasts, the cheerleaders seem to bounce through the game with even more zest than the week before.

The Student Council worked long and hard to prepare for the dance after the football game on Friday night that drew a large crowd and put a little money into the council’s pocket.

For the third time in Alder history the Drama department presented the suspense play “The Night of January 16th,” which proved to be a delight to the returning alumni cast members. The play was a novelty because the whole of the action was in a courtroom in which the jury was composed of randomly selected au- dience members. After the play ends the jury chooses a verdict so that the play could end differently each night of performance. Long hours of practice were essential for the two lawyers, Meg Williamson and Roy Herdman, whose lines were intricate and carried the play along. Both performances ended with a different verdict and the play was engrossing for the cast and au- dience alike. Clevenger. David Walker.

With flair and enthusiasm the Alder actors and actresses be-bopped their way through this year’s spring musical “No No Nanette.” The play revolved around two men’s attempt to get out of girl trouble without their wives finding out. Bill Edwards and Lori Wright played Billy and Lucille, the man and wife couple that were caught in the mid- dle of a misunderstanding and unexpected en- counters. Tim Cheeseman sang his way to happiness behind his wife’s back as the philandering Bible salesman Jimmy Smith. Jimmy’s deserted wife who lived for song and dance was portrayed by Julie Wilson. Meg Williamson was the sweet Nanette who longed for adulthood. Longing for sweet Nanette was the young lawyer Tim, played by David Walker. These two teamed up for the famous song and dance number, “Tea for Two.” An excellent perfor- mance was rendered by Amy Houston as Pauline, a deadpan, hilarious maid. The three women that were bothering” Jimmy were portrayed delightfully by Julie Anderson, Lisa Wright, and Rhonda McComas. This year’s chorus brought the debut of many. It was hard work but inexperience gave way to exper- tise under the direction of Mrs. Beach and Mrs. Hill, old timers in the field. Behind the scenes flats were built, scenes con- structed, sound effects worked out, and many other things that give performances polish. The Alder musicals have continued to be impressive and are looked forward to by students and community alike. Best friends to the end, Sue and Lucille are plagued by guy troubles. Nanette’s friends listen disbelievingly as Lucille sings to them the; merits of settling down. Sometimes Pauline's deadpan V .

Band Finishes Year Playing and Marching at Cedar Point Football and basketball games wouldn’t be the same without the Alder band playing the anthem or blaring the fight song. Each summer before school takes up the band begins its long practices under director Rod Spencer. The pep band vigorously plays at home basketball games and the marching band highlights the football halftimes. The concert band held its traditional banquets and received a rating of 2 in their annual competition on a scale of 1-5, 1 being the best. A combined show during foot- ball was always exciting when Alder’s and New Albany’s bands marched together, but 1984 was the last joint venture as New Albany will be in another league next year. Mr. Spencer and his band rounded the year out by playing and mar- ching for a day at Cedar Point.

Ron Branom, Tonya Lapp - We're All in This Together The year of '84 has been one of many ups and downs for the POWDER HORN staff. First, we were really down when we realized that we had a deficit carried over from the ’83 book. The seniors and staff sold tins of candy so we could print the senior por- traits in color. The theme of the ’84 POWDER HORN is “We’re All In This Together.” Darren Thompson did the drawing of the cover and the division pages. It’s been a year of hard work and fun with Mrs. Sayre trying to keep her staff away from the lunch room and meet the deadlines. The book was finished to meet the last deadline a couple of weeks after school was out. Throughout the year Jeff and Carol came to be horrible friends and worse working partners. Once again Ron is torn between the desire to eat lunch and the chore of finishing his pages After a long day of work in the yearbook room it is not uncommon for confusion to set in as it has for Pam, Tim, and Lynn. Hard at “rest” the Powderhorn photographer Jeff Collier, daydreams of jrass fires while someone is taking pictures. Assistant Editor Meg Williamson presented a complimentary advertisement to Dr. Karrer at his retirement banquet. ] i L o r i tin «in ub«.n' noro a ly as opcnin for ' .‘.o, .tight afur •c chorus as choreogrc rson.

As the learning progresses it is put into use by publishing the monthly newspaper. Everything from national news to controversial student editorials can be found in the Pioneer Press.

Tim Cheeseman, Doug Knisely, Jimbo Thompson, Kim Cartwright Jonathan Alder’s Student Council is one that has struggled to gain an identity for some time now. In 1984 the council’s endeavor was to formalize their meetings and increase their involvement in student affairs. Mr. DeMooy ad- vised the group on their pro- posals to the school board about the drug-alcohol policy, the homecoming, and served as the Student Council’s mentor for all their activities. A roster of talented and hardworking students helped the council achieve many goals and broadened future councils’ horizons. Can collecting ballots from elections tire our president this much? Next year's president, Meg Williamson, helps with elections. Regarding Controversial Policy Does Kami think whispering strategy in the donkey’s ear will really help? Helping coach donkeys really isn’t Mr. DeMooy’s duty. If this meeting hadn't been so close to lunch, maybe we would have paid more attention. Student Council 123 Y-Teen Year — One of Fun With the always spirited and fanatically enthusiastic Mr. Hitchens as their advisor again the Y-teens stampeded thorugh a busy year. The year started off well with a canned food drive and a Y-teens slave auction to raise money and spirit. A Sadie Hawkins dance was held for Valentine’s Day that went over really well. As the club continues to prosper and grow so will the pride and spirit of the school. WHERE'S THE BOAT??? 1st Row: Advisor. Mr Hitchens. Treasurer. Carla Wolte, Vice President Jackie Kid President.

FFA Survives Poor Crop and Bad Weather Preparing for a future in agriculture isn’t always easy or cheap as the Alder FFA members found out. The Pioneer Future Farmers polished their skills by judging soil, meat and seeds in area com- petition. For the first time, the Alder FFA Members also com- peted in a poultry judging project. As with all farmers, times were rough in ’83 and the JA young farmers had to take out a loan for crop expenses on the land they annually rent, plant, and harvest. It was a valuable ex- perience for the upcoming farmers. A trip to the national conven- tion in Kansas City and the an- nual banquet that was suc- cessfully held despite blizzard conditions ended a year of work and new experiences. 1st Row: Don Mitchell, Bill Farmwald, John Lewis, Noah Rosencrantz, Jeff Nichols.

Future Business Leaders Accomplish Goals Future Business Leaders of America en- countered a busy year as they combined service and social projects in addition to preparation for competition events. Lynn Bonacci and Pam Graber competed at the National Convention in San Francisco in July while officers and advisers attended summer management training meetings at Ohio State in preparation of the coming year. Members sold Tootsie Pops to raise funds to finance district and State Com- petitions. Alder brought home countless awards at the district and four State win- ners. Amy Roby and Doug Luce went on to compete at the National Convention in Atlanta, Georgia in July. Mary Grover and Amy Houston also won first place state awards. A talent show and bake sale was held to raise money for the March of Dimes Project Help and candy sales continued to finance the trip to Georgia. An evening at Show Biz Pizza Place, a picnic at Metropolitan Park, and the election of new officers brought the year to a close. A San Francisco shopping spree at the 1983 National Convention must be the cause ol Lynn and Pam’s luggage problems. 1st Row: Lynn Bonacci - Treas., Pam Graber - Pres..

The organization started a series of award systems for good students in- cluding giving Columbus Clippers tickets to “A” students and an Outstanding Stu- dent recognition program. Senator Mike Dewine came to Alder at the NHS’s bid- ding to answer students’ questions on issues and government. The society also fulfilled its traditional duties like Homecoming elections, selling greens, and the senior breakfast. For fun the group spent a night on the town in Col- umbus, skating at the Centrum eating at G. D. Ritzy’s, and a few even took a mid- night carriage ride downtown.

Steve Roberts, Kathy Smith, Tina Yantes, Kelly Adkins, Liza Kronk, Mrs. Kronk, and Mrs. Barnette, the French teacher, left from Cleveland on March 17. In London they saw Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, The Tower of London, and Wind- sor Castle. They then crossed the English Channel by ferry to France. While staying in Paris they viewed the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Napoleon’s Arc of Triumphe, Sacre Coeur, the Louvre and the palace of Ver- sailles. Everyone enjoyed ex- periencing European culture first hand and applying the things which they had learned in class. Steve enjoyed experimenting with French foods.

The thespians started the year by painting the faces of little trick-or- treaters at the Plain City Library on Halloween. Face painting proved both enjoyable and profitable. Dur- ing the fall the club presented the mystery-comedy play, “The Night of January 16th” which the drama department has presented twice in the past and was enjoyed greatly by the alumni casts. To round the year off Mrs. Beach escorted her Drama Club to Otterbien College to see “Deathtrap,” an intricate play of double-takes and plot twists.

Open house babysitting has been a traditional service activity for several years. This year’s crowd was small but active. The Christmas caroling party with the elementary students is gaining in popularity as the youngsters enjoy traveling around town singing. Elementary tutoring has given the FTA members a clear insight into their future profession. The FTA members served the teachers breakfast before their day began on Valentine’s. The year ended with an Easter egg hunt for the kindergarten classes at Plain City. the kindergarten seem to enjoy Mrs°Cooker,y by ,he elemen,arV students as well as It seems Willy is having as much fun as the ungsters have finding them. 134 FTA Helping the teacher breakfast become a success, Mr. DeMooy fills his plate.

The FHA sold chocolate Santas and “snuggable” stuffed animals to raise funds this year. A hayride with the FFA and a Christmas caroling trip made the seasons happy for members and community. Along with recreational adven- tures the FHA's major service projects in 1984 were serving at the Arts Festival and open house and singing and talking with Madison Elms Nursing Home residents. National FHA week and the state convention at Vets Memorial capped a busy year off.

This year’s prom saw many new fashions and styles, including senior class president Roy Herdman who arrived in a limousine.

(Compare this picture with the one on page 182) Senior Week Wraps Up One Great Year 182 Closing Finally, T-shirts arrived. Good cooks. The water was cold! We needed a lot of polish W The Year of '84 Through four years of high school we laughed together, learned together, and grew together. The past four years encompassed the largest learning and maturing experiences in life. Inside the small and personal at- '■ mosphere of Alder the whole class forged stronger relationships then some will ever have. Now, with our years at JA behind us, it is time to look ahead as individuals. We will carry the friends and ideas we gained here through life no matter how far the people are apart or how different the environment is. I wish all I6 Alder alumni luck and know the graduates of 1984 will remain spirited and lively. Be happy, and think good l| thoughts. Tim Cheeseman Editor
