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

Text from Pages 1 - 200 of the 1987 volume:

Coach Lanza Dedication to Coach. Teacher, and Friend. Each year the yearbook staff dedicates the year- book to a deserving member of the faculty and staff. We try to choose someone who gives of themselves to the students in and out of the classroom. We have chosen a person who has given of their time as a teacher, a coach, and an assistant guidance counselor. The yearbook staff proudly dedicated the 1986-87 yearbook to Mike Lanza. 2 Dedication t Mike Lanza Assistant Guidance Counselor High School Football Player Mike Lanza •lUIUlO — -- JOHN R. COOKE 1937-1987 On April 22, 1987, we lost a great friend. Mr. John Cooke had been employed at Jonathan Alder since 1962, first as an art teacher and then after completing his education he became the Guidance Counselor. It was in this position that he was able to help mold the youth of this community. He was caring, generous, faithful and loving to everyone. His passing is our loss but his teaching and influence will live on in all who knew him We will remember him because he loved us and we loved him. ' a: . I I I I In Memory 3 DARE TO BE DIFFERENT “Dare to be Different was chosen as the '87 yearbook theme early in the fall. At the time it seemed great. Staff members could think of many different stories. But work- ing with this theme has really been different. Actually students at Alder are pretty typical. All are happy, free- spirited teenagers but there are differences. For different clubs we have a breakfast club (meeting at 7 a.m.) and the lunch bunch (who sacrifice lunch to get together). How many schools can boast of having a 24-hour fund-raising thon. Members of the student body were able to raise $20,000 to be distributed among clubs and organizations. So, you see Alder students get away with “Daring to be Different. Opening 5 I Is this different? Spirited Seniors show off their sweatshirts Activities A toast to good times' The Hats for Oz are painted by Mike Edwards 6 Activities Different Activities for Different Students Is this an Alder basketball game or Friday the 13th? There are so many different activities at Alder that everyone can find something to do. There are queen contests for girls and there is the Mr. J.A. contest for the boys. There are formal dances and rock and roll dances. We have clubs for the artist; the businesswoman or man; the farmer and housewife; the early risers; the in- tellect; and the politicians. So, it’s not different strokes for different folks, but different activities for different students at Alder. I now pronounce thee ... The thon just wouldn't have been the same without this attempt to Bunny Hop by students and teachers. Activities 7 8 Seniors Sports One down three to go! The enthusiasm and spirit of the tans at the sporting events was led by many pretty and talented cheerleaders After a really tough defensive battle Ted quenches his thirst. Different Sports Appeal to Different Students There are 12 different sports at Alder. Each different and each appealing to different students. There are group sports — where each individual per- son must work together to make a team in order to ex- cel. In basketball, football, baseball, softball, and volleyball, one person cannot win without the hard work and cooperation of a team. Then we have sports relating to individuals. In wrest- ling, Cross Country, track, each person excels on his or her own ability level. But whatever sport is chosen each person must train and play to the utmost of their ability. At Alder over 50% of the student body take part and ex- cel in one sport or another. 1 Joe Cool! 2. And to think next year this shot will be worth 3 points 3.

And Everywhere Day or night, school hours or not, there are always people at J.A. You will always find Alder halls occupied — whether they're in the halls gabbing with friends, catching up on the day’s events at lunch, trying out for sports positions, staying after school for practices, or attending a home game. Yes, some people can even be found working on the yearbook. But whatever the dedication and enthusiasm is always present. 1.

The French Club was re-opened this year with the new addition of French classes. Surprisingly, there were many eager students ready to make the club recognized. New sweatshirts saying French friends were purchased (which arose questions for Spanish classes), plus the club visited a French restaurant tc i try French cuisine. A party at Valentine’s day was .' given for senior citizens at the Pleasant Valley Col ) ony, also. All in all, it was a busy year for the club and hopefully in future years it will still be busy. During a pep rally, members taught the student body an interna- tional cheer. Prater, Michelleto worth tephame Pa ief Cindy aM Cada h Me dows' 'jenn,ter Md,,hews. Shane Cooke, Mark Sheirmg.

WINTER WONDERLAND Winter Wonderland King and Queen Tracy Blevins and Misty McClary Brad's story evidently has Cynthanie amused Winter Wonderland — the word wonderful describes the feeling of all who attended the winter dance. Kids were in awe of the terrific music for the evening. A few comments made by students at the dance were: The best DJ of any of our dances,” A terrific sound system.” The fog and light show by the DJ added a special touch, lending a romantic at- mosphere. — All in all it was a dance in Wonderland. The dance was sponsored by student council and FBLA.

This year is the last year for Vocational Agriculture at Jonathan Alder High School. In the past Vo-Ag had been an important part of the school. Being a rural school in a rich agriculture area there have been many families (Sons and Fathers) that have completed their agricultural studies at Alder. The department has graduated at least 9 state farmers. The production Ag area has provided education and know-how to many successful and thriving farmers. It is with great sadness that we phase out this area in our school. This year the department was started with Tom Ackerman as teacher. Realizing the future of the classes Mr. Ackerman resigned in January to enter business. Mr. Antram was hired to fill out the year This year’s group has been very active, taking place in soil judging, parliamentary procedure tests, livestock judg- ing, mechanics tests, and public speaking, not to men- tion all the other activities. During their annual banquet Jackie Bidwell was crowned Queen. The banquet was very successful and members received recognition for their ac- complishments Many local people also attended The FFA men preparing a wonderful breakfast for the faculty Jason smiles confidently that he will get a strike FFA members show their respect while standing during president Jeff Rush’s speech.

Is he a wizard? Is he a genius? When it comes to computers, at Alder we often think of Doug Luce as both of the above. Ever since computers have been introduced at Alder Doug has been in great demand. He has given many, many hours of his time aiding the administration and faculty in starting computer classes and in installing and using computers in our offices. This interest in computers started when Doug was four years old. Around that time he built a calculator. He was able to get it to add and almost successfully subtract and divide. During junior high school he began to seriously work with a small computer that was there. Doug can work in the Basic, Pascal and C language. His favorite brand of computer is “any kind that's available for his use.’’ As a freshman Doug won first in Ohio in the written computer test. Doug then took the national test in Atlanta, Georgia in 1983. As a senior he was eligible again to be tested in computers when the test was changed to one of a practical application He again won first in Ohio and travels to Anaheim, CA for na- tional tests in July.

For the first time, the Pioneer Press staff attended an annual workshop at Otterbein College on April 11 and left with much success. Twenty area high schools participated in the workshop. The Pioneer Press received a plaque for second honors in the judging of an overall newspaper. Editor Mike Beachy took first place in copy editing and headline writing. As editor of the paper he was able to get the most from each staff member not by criticizing but by drawing out the best from each one. As a leader of his class he was always in the background, always doing superior work and expecting this from his friends and classmates.

It looked like all the ads would never be sold. We started with nine staff members, six of whom were lazy and indifferent to the work and problems. So, the staff was weeded down to four and these four tripled up on the work. Second semester a junior, Susan Burch, joined the staff. So, Jerry Kaltenbach, Mike Roberts, Robin Sagraves (Assistant Editor) and Laura Fink Bidwell worked very hard to finish this volume. Laura was ap- pointed editor the second semester and has done a terrific job pulling everything together. The theme “Dare to be Different has really been carried out in this book. Laura had no workshop training but she dared’’ and has been able to finish up the advertis- ing and came through with a debt-free POWDER HORN Susan Burch — Junior member of the yearbook staff 28 Yearbook Staff OURCOLOR Robin Sagraves, Assistant Editor — Laura Fink Bidwell, Editor — Jerry Kaltenbach, Dorothy Sayre, Advisor, Susan Burch, Mike Roberts.

The student council worked long hours decorating and carrying out this theme. The dance was held in the cafeteria for the first time and this made for togetherness.” The stu- dent body was well represented and the Queen and Court reigned over a very happy evening. The decora- tions, the music, and the formal atmosphere will linger in student memories as a very special high school time The dance was held on Saturday, the evening follow- ing the homecoming game. Because of this, more hours could be spent decorating and instead of the short after-game dance, we had from 8 p m to 12 midnight to have fun. There was a good crowd and being semi formal everybody was dressed in their best bib and tucker.

Mr. J.A. shows his school spirit. Jeff Kazee The format for the Mr. J.A. was changed this year Each contestant, chosen by his classmates, invited a special girl to be his date for the evening. Then when it was time for the poetry recitation they recited “MY Love is like a red red rose, to that special girl. This added glamour and beauty to the program as the girls were all dressed in beautiful evening wear. The Mr. J.A. of 1987 was Jeff Kazee. Jeff was chosen first by a committee of judges on his poise and personality. The judges were, Charlene Smucker, Sabre Wilcox, Mary Collier, Guy Roberts and Carl Mitchell. Second place went to Tracy Blevins. Jeff and Tracy will receive free yearbooks. Following the program the yearbook staff spon- sored a dance and games in the gym. After receiving the good news, Jeff proudly displays his trophy To relieve the tension while awaiting the judges' decision, the guys goof off .

Being in the marching band takes a lot of time and practicing before and after school. Early in the sum- mer, the organization begins to ‘‘train” the incoming freshmen for half-time performances. Band members give at least 10 hours week working to perfect their formation and sound. Each half-time show was ter- rific and well received by the fans. Many loyal fans traveled to the away games to boost the band and build Alder's spirit This year was one of the best marching bands Alder has had, and we think they deserve a lot of appreciation. In addition to Marching Band, the Pep Band performed at all basketball games lending their part to school yells and introduc- ing team players each evening. Their antics and high spirit really inspired the participation of the fans. 40 Band It takes a very attentive person to twirl and control the movements of the band — a |ob of the head majorette Stephanie Davis I I First Row Jill Fagan Jennifer Neff, Launa Rohrer, Cheryl Breckner, Shellie Calle, Lanelle Beachy, Gail Bushong.

At times Mrs. Froning felt that maybe the “Express” was traveling too fast. Performances were given at: Der Dutchman, Clinton- ville Women’s Club, Capitol Tower, Ohio Center, Monroe Elementary, and of course at Jonathan Alder.

The setting was in Dr. Quincy’s home — sanitorium where things were pretty peaceful. But within three days and nights a general upheaval of the area had occurred. Dracula tried to charm and thus devour Miss Lucy but in the end justice pre- vailed and Miss Lucy (Suzi Routte) was reunited with her hero (Jeff Kazee). The evil costuming, done by Cheryl Breckner, and the eerie wolf howls (a tape) helped transport the au- dience to a haunted, spooky-like atmosphere. If one used their imagination, at times Vance Vowell did resemble George Hamilton (anyone that doesn't know he was the Dracula in the movies). Ah! Dracula shows off his finery Protecting Miss Lucy was all Arthur wanted to do A calm serenity filled the auditorium as a victory over Dracula was won 50 Fall Play Take it away it burns our eyes!!! “Don’t worry Arthur — Dracula will not live to see tomorrow.

Drama Club 53 BOUND FOR BROADWAY The Wizard of Oz. We're oft'° see the Wizard “Excellent! The Best! Magnificent! Comments such as these were heard across the auditorium as the curtain came to a close. Some commented that never before had they seen a musical so well done. The cast worked hard to obtain their goal and the reward was the audience’s approval. Long hours and hard work were put in to produce the best musical yet. Joyce Froning did an excellent job topped by the excellent performance of the cast. But, it couldn't have been done without the help and support of the Art and Drama Club and also the accompanist, Mrs. Walker. The props and properties were great. With the help of their families in constructing their costumes, the cast looked like they had been outfit- ted by professionals.

Queen Denise, King Chris, Princess Maria, Prince Jeff, and Princess Melissa. Caribbean Dream was the theme, the Christopher Inn was the place, and the Prom was the occasion. Murals on the walls displaying sunsets, palm trees, a treasure chest, plus a buffet full of delicious food helped make the event a huge success. Everyone was dressed beautifully, and the night was one filled with magic and love for friends and sweethearts. For the first time in several years the prom was host to eight faculty members, two board members and spouses and two sets of junior parents. After the dance ended many couples went to the after Prom party at Jerome. This was sponsored by parents of juniors and Carson Cornell was the DJ Prom was special for sweethearts Lanelle and Don The grass hut was appropriate for Caribbean Dream as Jennifer tf and Melissa happily pose Dr Am By the look on Wendy and Scott's face, Caribbean Dream was one come true.

The season started off slow with losses to Ben Logan, Fairbanks, and Licking Valley. After three losses, the team performed up to their ability by beating Big Walnut. The defense was awesome” by holding BW to no score on the goal line. The score was 6-2 and the coaches and team finally had a vic- tory to celebrate. The loss of the next four games did not diminish the team's self-confidence. As each game showed, Alder had good defense and was steadily improving. They went on to win the last two games which left them with a feeling of pride with the overall season. Team members receiving honors for the season were. Jerry Kaltenbach, First team All-CBL; Elmer Wolfe, First team All-CBL; Don Salyer, Second team All-CBL; and Ron Barnhardt, Second team All-CBL. MVP, Don Salyer; 101%, Ron Barnhardt; Most Im- proved, Mark Price; and Pioneer Award, Jerry Kaltenbach. A perfect handoff by Salyer kept the drive alive as Ron goes for a first down. With a determined lunge, Ron was able to stop another Licking Valley score.

More Alder students seem to be trying out for this sport. Run- ning cross-country is one of those sports where each person is in control of their own destiny. Choosing to win means each one must choose many hours of practice. So, running, running, and running more is the only way to win. This year’s team has been following the example of Dan Holcombe, who has set high standards and they will really have to excel to break the records he has set. Many friendships are made while waiting around for the next event to begin. Concentration doesn't stop Jim from taking a peek at the camera. Is Rob trying to run a one legged race? A positive attitude keeps Dale running that extra mile I think I can “I think I can Dan Holcombe — The Lonely Winner? Determination pushes Dan to the finish When you think of a runner you often think of a lonely person Especially anyone running cross country or long distance. Danny Holcombe has broken many track records at Alder and at sometimes seems lonely. He seems to run to his own tune.” He is very definitely a success as evidenced by all the awards he received at the awards program. He was chosen Student of the Year and given $100 by the Marysville Elks Lodge; he received the Ray Kroc (McDonalds) Award; he was chosen as the U.S. Army Athlete. But Danny did not begin his high school career looking for these rewards. He goes about his business do- ing the best job he can. His grades are very good. He end- ed his high school with a 3.940 average and a scholarship to Goshen College. Danny has been involved in many extra-curricular activities — he has taken part in plays and musicals; he was in choir and in the band. And Danny is an Eagle scout. So one does not attain all these things alone. But, still choosing to run long distance will set one apart and alone. This year at Alder, after each cross-country and track meet the student body always knew that Danny's name would be announced as winning another race or breaking another record. Maybe the time alone running each day or taking part in competition has given Danny an advantage. The advan- tage of time for contemplation and setting high goals for himself. Everyone must chart their own future and Danny's time alone running has surely set him ahead of the pack.” ALDER OPPONENT SCORE 68 BucKeye Valley 23 Ridgedale 49 27 Mechamcsburg 30 33 West Jefferson 23 43 Academy MASON INVITATIONAL 20 Alder 1 7 ol 21 44 North Union OHIO CAVERNS INVITATIONAL 19 82 Ben Logan 87 20 West Liberty Salem 20 70 Yellow Springs 70 101 Urbana LITTLE DARBY DERBY INVITATIONAL 10 142 West Liberty Salem 34 65 Springfield C Cath 65 74 Riverside 74 132 Green 132 170 Ben Logan 170 N.S Urbana NS 31 Grandview 19 31 Bishop Hartley 39 33 West Jefferson 24 31 Olentangy URBANA INVITATIONAL 24 64 Urbana 73 38 Green view 38 41 CBL Mechamcsburg 41 37 North Union 37 63 Grandview 63 74 Columbus Academy 74 107 Olentangy West Jefferson HAMILTON INVITATIONAL 107 136 136 Alder 9ol 11 317 District — Berlin ParK 12 out of 16 Cross Country Team Coach Ray Russell, Dan Holcombe, Sonny Grubb, Brian Wilson, Jim Spires, Rob Merkle, Andrea Houchard, Susie Routte Cross-Country 65 WHOLE-HEARTED WINNERS: VOLLEYBALL Volleyballers had a good year with more wins than losses to boost the morale of the team.

The hurrah’s have been given Some bows have been taken. It was not a great season but at times it was thrilling. The season ended with Alder having 9 wins and 12 losses. But this doesn't reflect the thrill at Academy when we were picked to lose by 20 points. Tracy Blevins scored 17 while Chris Ellis led in rebounds. The hard work and sweat of long practices really paid off that night. And who will ever forget the night of the Dublin game when we lost at the buzzer by 2 points. The season ended at the Sectionals at Westland. We won the first against Madison Plains but in the game against Centennial it was back and forth in score. We rallied and seemed to take over but when the buzzer sounded, somehow the score was against us by 5 points. Front Row Tony Kurtz, Rob Kalmar, Todd Parker, Scott Smith, Rob Merkle.

A poll of this year’s Seniors showed that only slightly less than half hold a part- time job at places such as the Hitch 'n' Post, Super Duper, McDonalds, Der Dutchmen, Dutch Kitchen, Kroger and Little Tonys. Student's reasons for holding jobs are varied. Money is a big reason for working whether it is for gas, spending money, car payments or college. Some work because they've got a lot of extra time, and some work because they like it. Teachers seem to be worried about students working, and voice such opinions as, “They’re going to work for the rest of their lives, they don't need to start while they’re still in high school . But, students seem to have accepted part time jobs as a part of taking responsibility and growing up Suzi Parknavy — Der Dutchmen Christy Lenhardt — Hitch 'N' Post Scott Beachy — Der Dutchmen Mike Beachy — Der Dutchmen Missy Kuhns — Der Dutchmen OKS� — 1 i Seniors at Work 123 SENIORS NADINE MILLER JARRIN MULLET SUZI PARKNAVY DON MITCHELL JESSE MULLET MATT PLUMMER ANNAMOUHANNA LAURA ORR MARK PRICE Jodi quit messing around and take a drink of water. 124 Seniors SHERRY RICE MIKE ROBERTS SENIORS TIM ROSE DON SALYER DENISE SCHEIDERER TED SIDERS SCOTT SOUDERS JACKIE SHRIVER BRYAN SIDENSTRICKER KATHY SMITH CARMEN SMYERS DON THOMAS SCOTT TRUITT RICHARD VANCE Boy it’s a good thing Danny doesn't have to wear this get-up all the time.
