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

Text from Pages 1 - 214 of the 1988 volume:

This year, the yearbook staff proudly dedicates the 1987-88 yearbook to Mrs. Marilyn Carlisle be- cause of her many attributes to Jonathan Alder High School and the students within Over the years she has worked long, hard hours as the Junior Class Advisor, organizing the Prom, the Junior Slave Auction, and any fundraiser they may have had Other than these things, she has helped many students in understanding the language of Span- ish. Mrs. Carlisle, aside from being a great friend to many, made her classes enjoyable and exciting for all those students who have taken them Hard work and a positive attitude seemed to always surround Mrs Carlisle In everything she did 2 Dedication Mrs. Carlisle, with Susan's assistance, announces Prom King and Queen Halloween introduced a wide variety of crazy people as you can see. Are they trying to hide from the camera? People Jonathan Alder is packed with potential and promise in every attending student as they glimpse success just around that grad- uating corner. Each student has a chance to succeed in whatever they choose, but they just need to see it no matter how difficult. This year, our theme is “Just Around the Corner, and what is around that corner can be whatever we want it to be. Success, in the highest form, is possible to reach. It’s up to us if we want to see it or not. But once we see it, then there is hope, determination, and success! Theme People Intro 3 Since both pairs of friends were at Cubberly's they took advantage of a great picture. Alder football games were never left without a cheering section The Jon-a-‘‘thon had a large furry mascot that everyone loved The Homecoming court dressed elegantly, displaying their natural beauty Truckloads of football players had a good time at the Homecoming Parade 4 Activities Intro Jonathan Alder has groups, organiza- tions, clubs, and each one has their own style of people. Each person in these groups gives that individual group its own personality. Activities form a school giving it unity and shape. They also keep the students interested in the school, giving them a sense of pride and a will to achieve the best. Success is just around the corner, but on this side you have experience. This experience is like sand- paper, smoothing down the edge on that corner, making it easier to get around. Activities 5 Golfing is difficult for some, where Dave is showing skill with a perfect follow through. Skill and endurance is shown in Jamie’s struggle to make a pin Coordination is needed as Jeff shows for playing a good game of basketball Volleyball takes teamwork and Tiffany's spike is covered by awaiting teammates for a possible return --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- — i 6 Sports Intro The intensity of winning is very strong tor those ott the field as well as on The time-outs always left the floor open for a great show from the cheerleaders ___________________________________________ Jonathan Alder supplies a wide variety of sports to help each student get just around the corner. Each college has a numerous selection of sports that a student may like to enter. Jonathan Alder has the type of cur- riculum to help every student become knowl- edgeable about the sport in which they are interested. The background and training that Alder supplies helps students to decide on their future. If, just around the corner, they decide they want a vocation in sports, they will have had experience and knowledge. If, on the other hand, Sports has been just for fun, around the corner it will probably con- tinue to be for fun.” Either way such at- tributes will help anyone to reach success.

Eery Senior has a special and unique quality which could lead them just around the corner to success. Hopefully the entire class, in using those talents, will reach success.

Searching for Seniors with something special to highlight, we found a few who suit the purpose. Some factual, some fun, all together you have a Senior Spot Light. 22 Spot Light Football is for tough guys like Wes Caldwell, 6' 178 pounds but could he possibly be overtaken by an IBM? Well this is obviously what must have hap- pened to the big, tough football player, After six weeks of typing I, Wes dropped the class and practically ran from all type- writers in sight. Wonder what his team- mates would say if they saw him now? The exciting sport of motocross has been around for many years and to one mem- ber of the class of ’88 it is more than just something you watch on T.V. Brian Lapp is in his sixth year of racing and he is still going strong. He enjoys it just like he did when he first started. Brian was first introduced to motorcy- cles eleven years ago when his father bought him one. He really didn't show much interest in racing though until a few years later when he decided not to ride just for fun but to also ride competitively. In his spare time, during the week, he rides his motorcycles in nearby fields just for fun and to practice for the races that are coming up on the weekend. There are some indoor races held during the winter but, Brean's preferences are the outdoor races starting early in March and continue eery weekend until late November. Brean won numerous trophies at races held all over Ohio and last winter he rode in Winter Olympics held in Gainsville, Florida. After graduation Brian plans to race all summer before starting college in the fall.

Freshmen and Sophomores touch-up on their skills with Mrs. Campbell and Mr. Glatz while Juniors and Seniors learn and prepare for the future with Mrs. Beach and Mrs. Byers. Among other things, writing a ten page research paper and reading various books added to all of this ex- citement. By studying together. Jason and Stephanie get more accomplished, if they can stay awake Could these two C.P students actually be cheating? In American Literature, Eric works hard to achieve his good grades 60 Curriculum Excitement in J.H.S English Department While Danielle enjoys the Red Pony, Doug and Jack sit and stare into space. With such an organized group, Mrs Byers must have been pleased to teach these students the art of C.P. English Jennifer is obviously deeply involved in her book Is Mrs Byers really assisting Bob or are they just posing? Curriculum 61 Foreign Language Hola, Buenos Dias, Mademoiselle! Yes, these are two different languages, both of which are spoken frequently by J.A. students. Making pinatas and hav- ing parties are two of the benefits of our foreign language department. On the flip side of this, students expand their vocabulary and knowledge by translating and understanding a for- eign language. Suzi and Tammy proudly show us their prize pinata made for their project in Spanish class. As these students patiently await the bell, Mrs. Carlisle lectures on and on. These students take a break from Spanish With a group like this, can work actually be getting done7 It must be a fluke 62 Curriculum Different Strokes for Different Folks at J.fl. Angie smiles as she learns the language of love Sandra takes notes while Tanya thinks only of the picture being Shelly has mastered the art of writing while looking at other things. taken. I'VJi These two are cute enough to be in a modeling agency!! Curriculum 63 BUSINESS EDUCATION Although there are no personal typ- ing classes, students at J.A must be realizing that the need for good busi- ness skills is still growing. Enrollment in both Office Procedures and Account- ing has increased considerably over the past year. Typing II has also grown from a mere 10 students to a sub- stantial 17. Computers are also quickly gaining strength in the department. Anna seeks help from Mrs Burns on this difficult problem It s just a typewriter, Ted. don't attack it! Come on Katrina, that typing exercise can't be that difficult Angel's concentration helps her achieve perfection 64 Curriculum Is this the way people dress in Denmark, or what? These students tackle this typing class with poise and determination How could David find time to pose for a picture in Office Procedures? Business Skills Grown In ALDER Classrooms Brian is confident about this computer exercise. Typing is obviously for all TYPES of people. Curriculum 65 mATHEITIflTICS Math is an exact science, and being such, there are few changes from year to year. Once again, some students participated in the National Math Con- test on March 1. Also, the computer club attended the Computer Program- ming Contest at John Carol University on May 23rd. The club was granted permission by the school board to stay overnight for this event. Mr Weygandt points out the guilty party The computer has obviously baffled these two girls Bethany attempts to translate the language of calculus Can these two possibly know what they are doing?! Mr Weygandt shares his intelligence in Math with his students. seems Craig is more interested in the camera than in the computer At J.A. 2 +2 IS Still 4 Curriculum 67 SOCIAL STUDIES With a new teacher, a required class of economics, and our forever favorite Mr. Byers, how could social studies at J.A. be boring?! Mr. Palmer was added to the curriculum this year when Mr. Hitchens accepted the offer to become our new A.D. Economics became a required course when test scores on the ACT and SAT, in that area, were low. And once again, simulations made this year's social studies classes fun with the stock market, a Presidential election, and family life all being themes. Matt's discussion about World History isn't keeping Cassie's attention These silly juniors take time out for a picture. Could Wes actually be concentrating our just acting9 Curriculum 69 Social Studies Students Experience Real Life Situations Is Dave trying to take Mr. Palmer's place? Students go all out for the simulations in World History. SCIENCE Marked improvements have come to us in the Chemistry lab after renova tions over the summer. We have a big- ger lab room, some new equipment and nice, new desks and chairs. Better dissecting kits and more storage space for the cats have helped the Biology and Anatomy students also benefit from this modified environment. Shannon doesn't mind mutilating this poor, detenseless animal V' L anza otters assistance to Dawn 70 Curriculum Don't worry Tom, it won’t bite1 Do those goggles impair your vision, Chrissy? Do all of those bottles baffle you, Chris? Maria and Shawnette call themselves seniors!! Mr Lorson, we all know this picture is just an act! Curriculum 71 HOmE ECONOmiCS The concept of Home Economics is not all that it is cracked up to be. Contrary to popular belief, students in these classes not only learn to cook, stitch, and homemake; but also, to care for children, experience married and single situations, and try to im- prove social communication. A new teacher, Mrs. Merrill, was added to the curriculum; taking over the classes of advanced foods, family living, and sin- gles living. Is this Santa Claus fat or pregnant? Concentration is very important in situations like this. Melinda and her child for the day take a break from the activities Home Economics Offers Something For Everyone Brent thinks he can have his cake and eat it too! Rodney finally found himself a friend. Mrs Cave helps Cheryl with a difficult project Curriculum 73 m r. mcGiii find Students Pleased With New Conditions Mr. McGill has a new room and a bigger office this year. This is due to the fact that we no longer have a VO- AG department. Mr. McGill and most of the shop students seem rather happy under these new circumstances. Chris concentrates on constructing a plan Pat makes another interesting project in shop class Being one of the new Junior class advisors, does Ms. Von Raabe have enough time for her art students? Ap- parently, it seems increasing in size but unfortunately, her room is not! Also, surprisingly enough, she and her art students have time to paint and dec- orate the windows of the Madison Mes- senger in London. Does Mr McGill really know what he is talking about, Kevin'7 74 Curriculum Do you really call this art work Chris looks as though she enjoys being an artist Miss Von takes time out for a picture while Sonny patiently awaits her assistance Art Students Display Their T alents Brian draws himself away from his work to give us a smile. Curriculum 75 PHYSICAL EDUCATION Two new glass backboards and a new Pioneer head in the center of the court were added to the gymnasium this year. Although these things are nice, they do not compare to Mr. Wil- loughby's or Mr. Webb’s art of teach- ing physical education and health. Among some of the interesting things taught and learned this year were bas- ketball, archery, and first aid. I'm sure that the freshmen and sophomores will agree when we say that the things learned in these classes will stick with them forever. It's awful what these girls have to go through in Health. Michelle wraps John's head hoping to improve his intelligence It's funny how people tend to study when a camera is near Learning first aid is a serious matter which these students seem to enjoy 76 Curriculum Lasting Skills fire Obtained in Phys Ed. V Health It is obvious that Rod is interested in the game while Gary isn't Rob is flying high in Mr Willoughby's gym class. In physical education you are taught the art of archery. Curriculum 77 i SPECIAL EDUCATION The Jonathan Alder special educa tion is designed to help each student individually and let them work at their own pace. This allows the teachers to have a one to one relationship with the students. Melissa seems to be interested in something other than her book Kevin is either studying really hard or else sleeping Craig receives assistance from one of his fellow students f red studies by himself to keep his concentration 78 Curriculum Individual Needs fire fflet In Special Ed This student obviously takes his work seriously As you can tell, students needs are met with a smiling face from Mrs. Wood Dedication helps Fred concentrate on this assignment. Curriculum 79 music Improvements! Improvements! Im- provements! A new tape player was added to the music department so the students could sing along to taped mu- sic instead of playing the piano for every song. Also, they started prac- ticing every Monday night because their class period was reduced to half an hour. More good news in instrumental mu- sic, the marching band came in first place in the small division at the Co- lumbus Day Parade. These three add a special sound to the J A band These students are doing everything but making music The band gets in one last practice before their performance Alder trombone players put forth their effort in this song 80 Curriculum Curriculum 81 These girls intensely study their music. By the expressions on these boys’ faces we can tell this is serious stuff. By the look on Mrs Fronmg's face we can tell that someone is not behaving. Tolles Tech Center Some of our students at Alder elect- ed to further their education at Tolies Technical Center. Not having the choice of Vo-Ag at J.A. this year, some students, as young as sophomores, pursued the Vo-Ag Department at Tol- ies. Some other areas studied are Health Careers, Auto Body, Drafting, and Cosmetology. One advantage of a Tolies education is that students are able to obtain a job in their area stud- ied without further education.

Thon Jon-A-Thon The Jon-a- thon received generous sup- port from the residents and businesses in Plain City and the surrounding areas. Stu- dents asked for donations and sold raffle tickets to support the athletic programs and extra-curricular activities. Over 1,000 people donated money to achieve this year's total of $16,217.24. This amount exceeds last year’s total by approximately $2000. As a reward for the students' efforts, an all night party was held at the school on No- vember 12, with 134 students in attendance. Among the many activities enjoyed by the students at the party were a dance, vol- leyball, games, bowling, and lots of food.

Breakfast Club This year's Breakfast Club, although relatively new had many activities. The members, along with the advisor Mrs. By- ers, meet at 7:00 in the morning. They eat breakfast and a couple of members give book reviews on interesting books they have read. The Club also purchases and gives a book to each kindergarten stu- dent at Monroe and Plain City for Christ- mas. The members dress up as Santa and his elves, and deliver the books to the students one day during school. This year, teachers were also shown appreciation by receiving Valentines and Easter baskets full of candy on the ap- propriate days. itting: Randy Headings, Michelle Longworth, Julie Hofbauer, Brian Lapp, neeling.

Breakfast Club 93 The Quick Recall team, under new advisor, Michelle Byers, finished the season with a 1 win and 5 loss record. In tournament play, they won two matches to take fourth place. In seasonal play, the team played teams from Madison Plains, Marysville, and London. The team’s one victory came against Marysville in the second game of the season.

The main dance, being homecoming, was a big hit with the students when Music King and their videos arrived. Signs were made as advertisements and decorations from last year's prom were used. Dress was casual with a theme of Almost Paradise. On top of these dance responsibilities, they sold donuts to raise money for the organization. Students, as well as staff mem- bers, enjoyed this treat in the morning and at lunch. Finally, for Teacher Appreciation Day, a Sundae Bar was set up in Mrs. Buckerfields’ room, giving the teachers an extra treat. They enjoyed and appreciated this and the Student Council Reps, had a wonderful time doing it for them. These three will do anything to get out of their meeting, this even includes homework Mrs Campbell, once again, organizes the criteria of the Student Council meeting. Members of Student Council do not seem to be too attentive during their fiscussion. j These three will probably have to brainstorm for hours, before a good idea arises.

The chapter had several fun- draisers, ranging from bake sales to selling homecoming mums. The highlights of this year's activities included a trip to Winterfest at King’s Island in December. The year con- cluded with NHS tapping of members for next year. Induction was preceded by NHS week, including a pizza party, cookout, scav- enger hunt, and breakfast.

Accord- ing to Alder fans, these shows are never boring and always different. But shows like this aren't just fun and games. The marching band season starts the last week in July. Practice starts at nine in the morning and runs til noon through August. During this time, routines are rehearsed over and over. When school starts, band is the last class of the day plus one to three hours after school. Getting ready for the game that Friday is the top most priority. Sometimes shows can be put together within a week. All in all, the work that is done is really worth it, just to hear the fans applause after a well performed show.

Vocal fTlusic This year the Pioneer Express and the girls ensemble pulled through with another suc- cessful year. Despite all of the schedule changes the music filled the air. Along with singing at the district schools the groups performed at many different places as the Red Brick Tavern and at var- ious churches. The highlight of the year was attending the Madison County Music Festival. There the group met many young singers like themselves and engaged together in singing America” for their final number. The year was well rounded off with an awards picnic at Batelle Park where Launa Rohrer received the National Choral Award. Sing it again Sam!!!

Long practices lasting sometimes until 1:00 a.m., were trying on cast members and the director, but the final result was worth the hard work. Due to the precision of the five performances, a record amount of money was raised for the music department. Some of the at- tending audience members even called this year's musical the best high school musical they had ever seen.

Jeff Kazee was crowned Mr, J.A. for the second year in a row on the evening of March 25, 1988. Participants from each grade were select- ed by the student body, and all were judged on appearance, enthusiasm, poise, and calmness. All boys entering had to model sportswear, formal wear, and casual wear for the judges. Those who were in the contest were Freshmen: Steve Bernas, Brandon Johnson, Brad McNichols; Sophomores were: Jason Bowen, Mark Elias, Lanny Greenbaum (4th place), Shannon Salyer, and Chad Wilson. Juniors: Charlie Hoke, Rob Kalmar (5th place), Todd Parker, and Stew Walker. Sen- iors were: Wes Caldwell, Jeff Kazee (1st place), Brian Lapp, Dave Snyder (2nd place), and Brent Wolgemuth (3rd place). Each boy, also, chose their own date” for the evening in which they recited a poem. Judges were carefully selected by year- book members to avoid favoritism. Scott Cubberly, Alison Benton, Mayor Pete Meiage, Jenny Brill, and Tina Lovejoy helped fulfill this duty. Stew's date for the evening, his mother, looks very proud of her handsome escort. It seems as if everyone had the time of their life at this year's junior-senior prom. With a display of the city and lots of balloons and tophats everywhere, how could anyone have been denied the fun and excitement of such an evening. Held at the Sheraton Inn North, this event was one to be remembered by all for a very long time to come. Poised and perfect, Amy and Wes make an exceptional king and queen.

For the first time in 7 years, the team won their opener, defeating Ben Logan 10-6. The following week, the team continued their path of destruction by crushing arch rival Fairbanks 24-8. The win of the year, however, came against the Lions of Bexely. Our men on the gridiron just barely squeaked by the Lions 19-13 in a double overtime thriller. Our team was the lone winner against Bexley in the CBL. The 5-5 record posted by the team was its second best since entering the CBL ten years ago. The season was so productive that a Homecoming loss to West Jeff was probably the single game that kept them out of the state playoffs.

CROSS COUNTRY — BETTER THAN EVER This year’s Alder cross country team continued to grow in size. Enthusiasm and spirit helped the team to win consistently, as the team finished 8-4. The climax of the fall season occurred when the team rushed by rival West Jefferson for a victory only four days after the Riders defeated our football team. Lance Headings, only a freshman, was the team’s number one runner followed closely by Brian Wilson. In the J.A. Invitational, Lance had an impressive time of 17:51 on the 3.1 mile (5 km) course. This also marked the first year that a separate girls cross country team was fielded. Lise Von Seelen set the pace for the girls’ squad. Both boys’ and girls’ teams won the J.A, Invitational and received beautiful trophies for their efforts. In the CBL meet, the team finished 10th out of 12 in some of the toughest competition in the state. Things look very promising in the future, because 10 out of the 14 runners will return next year.

MB LADY PIONEERS’ DREAM DIMINISHES WITH 9-12 RECORD The lady Pioneers' dream of having a winning season quickly crashed to the ground when they ended with a 9-12 record. The team played several exciting games that included many tough opponents. Urbana, Bishop Ready, and Bexley were just a few they had to face. The most thrilling game was when the team played at Dublin. Despite disruptive fans, the ladies pulled together and beat the Shamrocks in two games The most memorable part of the whole game was when Tiffany Holcombe spiked the ball into the face of one of the opposing team's rowdiest members. The margins in which they lost showed just how talented these ladies really are Many of the games were decided in three games, and by one or two points. On the whole, the team was satisfied by the way they played together instead of each individual playing for herself.

GRAPPLER’S “DO IT ALL” The 1987-88 wrestling team had the best season ever under the leadership of Coach Steve Hitchens. In fact, they wrestled their way to a 12-6 dual meet record. As a team, this season was the finest since 1979. The grapplers surprised everyone by finishing third in the Central Buckeye League, and by placing near the top in the invitational tournaments they attended. Individually, four wrestlers fought their way to the district meet. Brian Wilson, Elmer Wolfe, Lanny Greenbaum, and Bucky Delong were all good enough to make it to districts Following up a successful preseason, Bucky won the District in his weight class to continue on to the State. An unfortunate asthma attack was the deciding factor in Buck's loss. All in all, the grapplers and their coach had a very fine season both as a team and individually. A fine team effort along with individual standouts made the season worthwhile. IH Senior Co-Captain Jeff Kazee shows the form that got him 1st team All-CBL honors.

The team, which has been plagued by injuries all season long, struggled to overcome the hardships that were thrown their way. At one point in the season the team was down to three regular varsity players. The team, in turn, had to rely heavily on reserve players. Mr. DeMooy, who is stepping down because of health reasons, stated, “I'm really going to miss it. The kids always gave 100% and I will miss everyone who’s coming back next year.

Both his offensive and defensive stats were astounding, and by all means up to all-state stature On the offensive side of things, Bucky hit safely 47 times out of 87 for a whopping .540 batting average. Almost half of the 47 hits were for extra bases. He ripped 13 doubles, 2 triples, and 8 home runs. Buck scored 33 runs while driving in 42 His on base percentage was .602 and he only struck out 3 times all season long He obviously had a great year at the plate Defensively, Bucky struck out 91 batters in 54 V3 innings pitched while posting a 2.9 earned run average. At first base, he had the small total of two errors out of the 126 times he handled the ball giving him a .984 fielding percentage. His de- fensive stats equally as impressive as his offen- sive stats. Bucky hopes to make a career out of the game he has come to know so well.

But the waterslides were a complete success. Racing to the bottom on those slip- pery mats had everyone entranced and no one wanted to leave. As night drew closer everyone loaded on the bus and headed for McDonalds, burnt and tired. It was a day that no one from the class of ’88 will ever forget. Everyone ate lunch to replenish their energy for the slide If no one else is ready to go canoeing, Jamie is. Misti enjoys her break after 7 miles of canoeing. Mr. Hamlin “skillfully prepared the eggs for the senior breakfast. Dave and Launa are dry now, but what about later? All day at Mohican made Keith a tired boy. We were so glad that some of the seniors from Tolies came to the breakfast. I a good time on the two hour bus trip to Mohican Senior Trip 203 Graduation day was beautiful with blue skies and plenty of preparation. The ceremony was well organized thanks to Mrs. Sayre and Mr. Hitchens. Mixed emotions filled every graduate as they marched onto the field. The excitement of being on their own out in the world was evident. But each felt a touch 11 of sadness realizing they were leaving that close knit of friends they had spent 13 years of their life with. No one j had any regrets. The A” formation was breathtaking from the stands. 204 Graduation The class of 88 waited patiently for the music to start. Gale Bushong gave the invocation. Things That Take Time was introduced to the class by Rev. Ken Benner. The senior members of the show choir sang Knowing that friends are friends forever if the Lord's the Lord of them. jjftiqh lid flanatnan ci 1988 Setting goals and meeting them was Bethany Miller’s theme to her speech as co-salutatorian. Tina Bonacci, also co-salutatorian, took everyone on a walk down memory lane. Graduation 205 2 Valedictorian Jeff Kazee gave a speech on potential which he wrote at 7:30 that morn- 3 Pomp and Circumstance brought tears to many eyes. 206 Graduation 1 The band plays giving the seniors one last chance to 4 The speaker Arnett Howard, gave the graduating class some “Helpful Hints for a Successful Life. After receiving their diplomas, the class of '88 gladly repositioned their tassels. President Dave Snyder recognized all seniors who re- ceived an award or scholarship. Proceeding off the field was a joyous occasion Every graduate smiled when the di ploma was placed in their hands. Hats off, we made it!!! Graduation 207 Success ... Just Around the Corner Thirteen years of schooling has passed which means 13 years of experience Our parents, in the past, have j known what was around every small corner, but we've reached a different corner There is something new j and larger out there that we haven't yet begun to grasp success Each member from the class of '88 can I reach it if we remember and use all that we've learned over the past 13 years It will be difficult, of course, and i we will be alone. But, you must remember that others too are going through what you are. So, in a sense you 1 are not alone. Just remember, you ve passed this corner and now it's up to you Don't forget who or what you've learned : Let’s all look forward now to what is JUST AROUND THE CORNER Good luck!
