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

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.

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. ■
