The person we chose to honor this year is no exception. As a teacher he’s dedicated to the students he teaches and even outside the classroom he’s proven himself as a friend and coach to many. His lively wit and caring attitude is an inspiration to us all and we can learn from his optimistic outlook on life. By returning to college to further his education and receive another degree, his perseverance and determination certainly should set an example for each of us. The yearbook staff has proudly chosen to dedicate the 1986 Powderhorn to Mr. Mark Lorson. Dedication 3 Words of Wisdom From day one we have all had someone to watch over us and guide us, whether we liked it or not. Starting out with the helping hands of our parents, we have moved on under the watchful eyes of our teachers and peers. It seems as though there has always been someone there to teach us right from wrong and put us on the right track. Though we may begrudge them at times, people are always there to help each other either in actions or words. Throughout school we realize we can't always make it on our own and the kindness and understanding of others is a must. Therefore, we have at one time or another had to heed to another's — Words of Wisdom. Opening 5 - - Curriculum - “It’s a great day to be here!” Education has taken a giant step forward since the days of tin lunch buckets and tiny one room classrooms. The Alder curriculum gives the experience and knowledge needed to make it in the real world. The math department is not only able to add and subtract, but pro- duce Syntax errors and logarithmic functions. The science program does everything from cooking hot dogs with solar ovens to dissecting pig hearts and cats while simulations, mock elections, and time cap- sules add an exciting twist to the social studies department. A newspaper and Huck Finn Day are produced within the English pro- gram while business and Home Economics give students a look into the future. Art, music, industrial arts, and VoAg give those with creative minds and special talents an outlet during the day. Opening 7 People Bo The Craziest Things” The friendships we form during high school are probably some of the strongest we will make. We have laughed together, cried together, and at one time or another been either the best of friends or the worst of enemies. As freshmen, we enter high school terrified of initiation and too frightened to talk to anyone. When our sophomore year rolls around we get our class rings and finally feel as though we are a “somebody. Being a junior we find out how to spend an entire class period “in the office.” But being a senior is the ultimate. We find the importance of sticking together through the good, the bad, the calm, and the crazy. Walking through the halls of JA, one is sure to note — “People do the craziest things. Opening 9 10 Opening ‘‘I Guess You Had To Be There” In between the many hours of work and study at Alder, there is plenty of time to become involved in the many activities offered. From the musical production of Oliver to the school's participation in Hands Across America, there is always something to keep just about everyone happy. Under the new advisor the student council kept up school spirit and the Breakfast Club was formed. FBLA had three state champions and the newly formed girl's ensemble took the stage by storm. Homecom- ing, the prom, and the ever-popular Mr. JA contest were enjoyed by all. Whether you were actually participating or just there to spectate — I guess you had to be there. Opening 11 Being an athlete takes a lot more than owning a pair of Air Jordans or having more muscles than the next guy. Hard work, discipline, and many long exhausting hours must be put forth before any amount of success can be gained. As in all high schools, Alder’s athletic programs and athletes con- tinually shine through. From state wrestling champs and all-district achievers to a winning baseball team and record breaking track season, Alder athletes have brought new meaning to the word dedication. If you ask any football player in his first week of two-a-days or a track member running the halls in the dead of winter, they'll definitely agree — “No pain, No gain.” 5p0rts - “No pain, No gain” •s ,J3 Opening 13 rrnmiimmwmmrm m p mm ST'uivi) mm warn This year's foreign exchange student is Nicole Barbara Ruedin from Uster, Switzerland. Nicole's mother Verena is a free working fashion designer and her father Peter is an electric engineer and works with computers. Nicole has one brother Erik, 21, and one sister, Francoise, 13. One of Nicole’s favorite things is going to school five days a week because in Switzerland she attends school six days a week. Nicole must attend twenty-one years of school including college In college Nicole would like to study business and or language Nicole enjoys dancing, listening to music, skiing, and going out with her friends. Two of Nicole's favorite foods are chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter, both of which you can not get in Switzerland Nicole speaks five languages: Swiss, German, French, Italian, and English Nicole says Switzerland is about two years ahead of us in fashion and jeans are not very popular there. Many of Nicole's personal remembrances and many of her American friends will not be forgotten. To all of her American friends, Nicole would like to say Ich Werda AIM Mini Amerikamsch A Frunda Vermissa : which means, I will miss all my American friends 76e IJUntietA, Motto If you can dream it, you can achieve it.

He finished his season with a record of 39 wins and no losses, and became the state champion in the 175 lb. weight class at St. John’s Arena, March 21, 1986. Along the way, Ron broke many school records. His 39-0 record and 73 take-downs are records which will probably stand for a long time. Ron also pinned 22 of his op- ponents. Ron captured eight other cham- pionships during other wrestling meets — four of them were at 185 lb. weight class. Ron’s best wrestling move, called the fireman’s carry, helped him gain his championship. He began wrestling when he was in 5th grade. Coach Hitchens can remember Ron when he was still a novice and noticed his potential. Ron continued to work hard with help from his father, Ron Sr. Ron says his father was the driving force behind his hard work and determination. Congratulations Ron, on a job well done. We’re all proud of you! Ron Thomas 1. To wear his rival down Ron applies a power half-nelson. 2. In his spare time Ron enjoys playing basketball. 3. Working hard for a take down, Ron prepares to trip his oppo- nent to gain two points. 4. Ron caps his perfect season by receiving his awards for becoming state champion. 5. Probably his greatest supporters, Coaches Hitchens and Spires along with his father Ron Sr., look on in anticipation. 6. Breaking an opponent down is a must. Here Ron has him off balance and falling. 7. To pin, Ron applies pressure as the official is keeping a close eye on the action. 6 A 7 A Ron Thomas 23 Cindy Murdock Deidre Morrison Bret Perkins Jeffrey Parker Jeff Nichols As best friends, Teresa and Denee are always seen together.

But to one member of the class of '86 it is much more than that. To Rusty Walter it has become a dream and a future career. Rusty has been bowling since the age of 5. He was first taught by his father Jim Walter and during his elementary years he practiced about every day and developed into a bowler with a promising future. Now anyone that bowls thinks and dreams of the perfect game. This school year Rusty came within one pin of achieving that dream. Rusty told us that he missed the last pin during the last frame. He received a ring for bowling a game of 299. Rusty said when asked about that high game, “I really thought I was going to do it, bowl a 300 but it didn't carry, so that’s the breaks. Rusty says his future plans are that he would like to go on and become a professional bowler, but he tells us that it takes a lot of time and money to become a professional. Rusty says he is definitely good enough he just has to set his mind to it. Rusty's current high series is 736 which he bowled last year. CHAMPION BELGIUMS For Brian Allen, horses have always been a major part of his life Since the age of six, Brian has been helping raise and show Belgiums on the family farm. Brian has won firsts in Junior Showmanship at both the Madison County and Ohio State Fairs. Being the fourth generation of Allens to show Belgiums, Brian is now the proud owner of two mares and a filly With 1986 being the Bicentennial Celebra- tion of the Belgium Champion Association, Brian will be showing his filly at the Detroit International Show After graduation, Brian plans on continuing his hobby of raising and showing champion Belgiums. He hopes to one day have a horse of his own win out over one of his father's. Seniors Roby — Ohio Youth Choir Member For senior Amy Roby, being a part of the 1985 All Ohio State Fair Youth Choir has been one of the greatest experiences of her life. Even though the choir consisted of approximately 315 people, it was relatively easy for close friendships to be formed. After rehearsing all day everyday for a week before the Ohio State Fair, the group gave a total of 108 concerts in the course of seventeen days. But even when the fair closed, that did not mean the end of the '85 Youth Choir. They continued to perform all around Ohio in such places as Cam- bridge, the Aladdin Shrine Temple, and the Capitol Building. As a highlight to an exciting year with the Youth Choir, Amy will be traveling along with the rest of the group to Europe, visiting such places as Wales, Switzerland, England, France, and the Netherlands. Scott Brofford Flas FHis Own Business Scott Brofford, a senior and four year member of the Jonathan Alder FFA, has received first place in District 8 FFA Turf and Landscape Profi- ciency Award. During the past year, Scott started his own landscaping business, buying much of his sod from his father. Scott hired several of his fellow students in the Alder area as crew members for the summer. When the ground froze, Scott kept busy by cut- ting, splitting, and delivering wood to customers in the Columbus area. When the snow began to fly, Scott put his pick-up trucks to work by pushing snow off parking lots. Scott was also entered in the state competition with winners from 14 other districts throughout the state this summer. Winners were selected and announced at the State FFA banquet in April.

The processional was first interrupted when the seniors stopped to greet an in- jured classmate who was able to join them after being in the hospital. Finally they were all in their places and the ceremonies began. Aside from some very crooked hats and windblown gowns everybody conducted themselves pretty good. Rev. Jerry Brooker Senior Show Choir Debbie Graber Salutatorian Graduation 33 The minister for the day was Rev. Jerry Brooker who gave the class a message on Building for The Future. Next Debbie Graber and Camille Pyles delivered the salutatorian and valedictorian ad- dresses. Debbie read a letter of gratitude to her classmates and Camille elaborated on the fact that everyone had been given a name at birth and it's up to us to make the most of that name. Mr. Gene Slaughter, Athleti Director of Capitol University, was the main speaker of the day. Mr Harris presents The Class of 1986 34 Graduation Receiving Diplomas Camille Pyles Valedictorian Gene Slaughter Tonya announces awards Changing Tassels After all seniors had received recognition, next came the time long awaited. Each person (all 93 of them) received their diploma — making it official. When the band struck up Pomp and Circumstance all graduates very proudly left with a diploma clutched very firmly in their hand. After the cermonies ended they joined together for one last time and threw their hats into the sky. Hooray.

Mrs. Roby served for 12 years and Mr. George for 9. During their tenure their focus and decision making was on what was best for the students of the school system.

The Office Procedures class learned how to run an office smoothly and efficiently while working on several typing and filing exercises. In addition, they learned the important difference between rush and at your convenience.” The P O D. classes saw the principles of our govern- ment in action this year as the traditional election took place. The Federalists felt somewhat like Ronald Reagan did not too long ago as they won the election by a land- slide. Some of the platforms proposed by the Catch the Comet committee were even put into effect by the school board. 1 Cindy works attentively on her Office Procedures simulation. 2 Hawaii, beaches, tans, and typewriters? Sounds like a con- flict of interests. 3 Limbering up the fingers, Michele gets ready to embark on another day's typing.

It s rare for a photographer to capture such intense concentration on the face of a student, especially a freshman 62 Curriculum (pctCUtne at srCden The Jonathan Alder Language Department has decided to culture its students. Beginning with demonstrations ranging from pottery to basket- weaving, the Spanish classes have been exposed to life in a Spanish country. Next, a representative from the Columbus Zoo “entertained them with visitors from South America including an alligator, chinchilla, boa, and Pete the parrot. The English students are getting their share of culture, too, beginning with the Freshman field trip to the Ohio Theatre to see Great Expectations. In the spring the Juniors traveled back to the Theatre to view the works of the great American authors Edgar Allan Poe and Mark Twain. 1 Dialogue is one of the major areas stressed in Spanish II. 2 Slipping the goods to Teresa, Jefe, alias The Smuggler , tries to elude the suspicious eyes of Senora Carlisle. 3 Nothing is as special as a Care Bear between friends! i1 2 3 Curriculum 63 , z 7{ n6 Studies 1 John intelligently explains his mistakes 2.

During any given period, students can be found in Room 6 staring bleary-eyed into the face of a computer either trying to unleash its poten- tial or simply playing a quick game of Asteroids. In addition to the over-crowded computer lab, students spent a considerable amount of time in the Chemistry Physics lab desperately trying to reveal the identity of their unknowns'' and trying to com- prehend the Quantum Theory of Light.

To begin with, as always, the office windows were festively decorated with Christmas designs through the month of December. And in spring, the school was again astounded by the beautiful art show displaying the many fine talents of JA students. But as for the new traditions, the Art classes and the Art Club designed a Spring Scene displayed in the front window of the Madison Messenger Office in London. The industrial technology” department, as always, had a successful year. With projects ranging from candlesticks and bowls to coffee tables and colonial hutches, the students have used their potential to the fullest and it shows through their fine achievements. 1 The skills mastered in Industrial Arts can be used to produce many beautiful objects 2 When a teacher laughs at a student's work that normally in- dicates perfection and efficiency, right Joe? 3 A lifelong skill can be learned in the mechanical drawing class — one can even design his own house. Curriculum 67 La l ocaUa t 1 Tony and his friend Tiffany teach these students the fundamentals of Imitation as an art form 2 These three certainly can't be working on the same recipe!? 3 These cinnamon twists truly are the work of a compe- tent senior. 68 Curriculum The Home Economics Department has certainly given its students a taste of realism. For example, the Child Development class was faced with becom- ing the parents of an egg for an entire week. Later in the year they were in charge of running a pre-school for Plain City area children. And the Vo-Ag classes continued their record of excellence this year as they competed and were rated very well in various contests and competitions. 1 FFA president, Greg Yutzy, uses all his recognition skills in this tough fruit separation exercise. 2 Julie certainly doesn't feel intimidated by being the only girl in FFA — she can judge soil as well as the next person. 3 Ah, yep, this is dirt all right . .” i Curriculum 69 1 According to Physics, she'll have to flap a lot harder if she wants to go anywhere. 2 Obviously Brad is more interested in the camera than his Health class. 3 Even though Amy is a member of the volleyball team, she finds Gym class helpful in perfecting her serve 70 Curriculum This year, the music department at J.A. is excelling in all areas. Our outstanding 85-86 Show Choir enthralls the stu- dent body with the polished performances they present several times a year. After the demise of mixed chorus, the newly formed girls' ensemble became the counterpart of Show Choir and both groups performed at the same con- certs. In the spring of 86, the music department combined with the drama department and together they presented Oliver, a whimsical rendition of Dickens’ classic, Oliver Twist. Sure, music can be the fun part of high school, but just ask anyone about the full year of gym required for gradua- tion. Archery, softball, wiffle-ball, volleyball, gymnastics, bowling — all make for an exciting time. 1 Mr Spencer's one-on-one attention seems to help the individual as well as the entire band. 2 The J.A.

After various fund raisers such as selling beautiful Christmas Greens and sponsoring delicious bake sales, members raised money to visit Kings Island s Winterfest. Although only a few went, the day turned out wonderful and the Christmas celebration will be remembered for years to come. During NHS week this spring, the new inductees spent a nerve-racking day waiting for the traditional tap to be felt on their shoulders. Later they were of- ficially inducted into the society at the ceremony held that evening. Various events rounded out the year and as the members can certainly attest the hard work put into the society was well worth the effort.

My Love Is Like a Red Red Rose were the words recited by the Mr. J.A. Contestants at the second annual Contest This was a delightful evening in which the boys entertained the audience with their performances. After introducing their parents, the fellows proceeded to model summer wear. This doesn't seem too exciting but the interesting interpretation by the contestants was really dif- ferent. Some of the guys represented the strong man, flexing their muscles — others mimicked Mr Macho” really making much of their cheesecake poses. Many of the guys were at- tired in Hawaiian garb looking very much like they were ready to start a vacation immediately. But no amount of horseplay could upstage the next act when they were dressed in black tuxes. At this point, each boy recited the poem Red Red Rose to a female repre- sentative of the yearbook staff. Each one had been given the poem previous to the evening's festivities. During this time, the judges were tallying the scores to choose 5 finalists. The five finalists chosen were Stewart Walker, Todd Parker, Jimbo Thompson, Jason Perkins, and Dave Snyder. To finally arrive at a winner, these 5 boys were asked 2 questions of a serious note. After careful deliberation and noting the elocution and stage presence of the 5 boys, Dave Snyder was chosen Mr. J.A. '86.

This year's fall play was great as usual as the drama students put on You can't take it with you and also presented The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” under the direction of Mrs. Beth Beach. The musical Oliver” presented in the spring en- tailed many long hours of rehearsing and injuries. The cast was large in number and very talented. The play has drama, dancing and singing.

The members sold balloons which were launched at halftime during the Homecoming game. Prizes were awarded for the tags returned from the farthest distance. The winning tag was found eighteen miles off the shore of Maryland in the Atlantic Ocean. Alder fared well in this year’s competitive events. Many of our members competed at district three competition in Celina, Ohio on December 7. Thir- teen members qualified to compete at the state level in Columbus. Of the thirteen members at the state conference, three qualified to take the national tests in Washington D.C.: Julie Wilson, first in impromptu speaking; Amy Roby, first in clerk typing II; and Todd Horch, first in business math, and com- puter programming. The Alder chapter of FBLA also held fund-raising drives'to keep down prices for testing fees and hotel room rental, among other things. The FBLA operates the school supply shop in the lobby of the building. We also held two candy-bar sales this year. Both ventures, store and candy, turned out successfully.

Training takes place in the classroom, through judging team experience, community parades, FFA camp leader- ship training, parliamentary procedure, public speaking, exhibiting at county and state fairs, planning and conduct- ing an FFA banquet and chapter meetings, and attending FFA conventions. In parliamentary procedures the J.A. group placed 5th in the district. In soil judging they placed 2nd in the county. Greg Yutzy was awarded the DeKalb Agriculture Achievement Award.

The biggest thing the group stresses is confidentiality where whatever is said to us we do not talk about it to our friends. This year the peer listening group did many things — to begin the year we first elected officers with president go- ing to Randy Davis, Vice President going to Chad Cooper, and Secretary Treasurer going to Matt Harwood. Then we started working on an Alcohol Awareness Day. During the rest of the year the Peer listening and Caring group went to Canaan elementary and talked to the 5th graders and we went to the Junior High and talked to the 7th and 8th graders and presented a medicine show to them and sponsored a dance for them. The group also presented a puppet show to Tolies Technical Center’s Peer Listeners. Then the group also presented an Alcohol Awareness night at the Bickham Center. Members of the group tra- veled to Circleville High School for their one day Teenage Institute. Other Teenage Institutes the members attended were a mini Tl at Procter Farms and a Regional Tl and dur- ing the summer of 85 two members attended state Tl and during the summer of 86 three members will attend state Tl. Each year state Tl is held at Kenyon College, in Gam- bier, Ohio.

Defeating Bexley for the first time in 7 years was one of those wins which really counted. It was during homecoming week and the fans were really in the school spirit.

Pinning his rivals with a cradle was always one of Ron's favorite moves Earning back points is the best way to win on points and Mark is domq an ex cellent job After winning a tough match coaches Hitchens and Spires congratulate ► 136 Wrestling etcnecue S iCC cutcC J.A. 15 22 46 10 18 17 39 14 66 21 51 30 25 24 57 37 23 4th 6th 8th 7th 13th 7 e 4 upuutce West Jefferson London Madison Plains Watkins Memorial Grandview Heights Olentangy North Union Miami Trace Fisher Catholic Upper Sandusky Watterson Columbus Academy Hamilton Township London Whetstone Groveport Mifflin J.A.

Senior Joan Schlabach remarked, This year was a success, considering the lack of experience and the fact that there were only three seniors playing. Sheri Delong and Denise Scheiderer were both selected 2nd team all CBL, with Denise also being named Most Valuable Player at the winter sports banquet. Tonya Miller received Honorable Mention. By practicing hard in pre-game warm-ups Denise hopes to perfect her form With looks of anticipation Amy and Michelle fight for the rebound.

Rushing underneath the basket Joan and Tonya try for the rebound Quick on her feet, Sheri throws up a jump shot to avoid being blocked Inexperienced leam finishes Kith flourish With a relatively inexperienced group of players, added to a couple of tough early losses, the Pioneer basketball team looked as if they were headed for a long season. But the fans came out in support, and the team finished in a flourish, winning six out of their last nine games. These victories included a double over- time triumph at home against North Union, and the upset of St. Charles in tournament action. The squad’s youth brings high hopes for next year. Bret approaches the foul line to try and score two free points Breaking to the basket, Chris puts up an easy jump shot while . Greg looks on.
