VO AC: THE END OF AN ERA Mr Ackerman recognizes Bryan's achievements with a handshake President Jeff Rush receives the proficiency award from Brad Sanford. 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

FOUR FBLA CHAMPIONS COMPETE AT ANAHEIM. CALIFORNIA The president of Alder FBLA 85-87 Doug Luce, the “computer whiz. 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.
