South Adams High School - Reflection Yearbook (Berne, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 168 of the 1972 volume:

1 ' tut S M . ' w ' Mm ' - REFLECTION 1972 South Adams Schools Berne and Geneva, Indiana Suanne Amstutz — Irv Koehler Geraldine Linder THE GOOD LIFE Those who are always striving for an easier way, Forget to add the simpler things to their life. All we want is a beautiful, natural day, A day to look in wonder at the sky, To count the stars on a clear night. Or fall asleep to a gentle rain. As we go through our daily strife, May there always be a calm river of peace To take away our anger and grief. And may there always be a starry night, To gaze on and wonder. About our life and what we think. — Irv Koehler ■• - ' ; ;: l p i . , Table of Contents Dedication 4 Faculty and Administration 8 Students 20 Organizations 58 Sports 78 Activities 96 Middle School . .

We have a great hope that these memories will help each and every- one of us to grow in mind and body. These next few pages reflect some of the memories which we captured in pictures. hB kI w i l R?

WAY Sports at South Adams has always been an asset to our school spirit and pride, and this year was no exception. Many young men dedicated themselves to maldng our program stronger. The teams at our school may not make history, but those who parti- cipated will never forget the hard work, times of anguish, and the moments of glory they experienced . A man who we all loved, A man we all will miss, A man who was a great football coach, A man who was a great wrestling coach A man we all enjoyed being around. Who helped us when we were down, A man who gave everything he could to make us , feel proud of our school. Who was this man that meant so much to us, who made us so proud to have him? We all know, it was Mr. Sekerak. -Tex Weaver Although Mr. Jerry Sekerak was with us for only a short time, he left behind many memories and lasting influences. We can never repay him for the time, energy, and devotion he put into our school, but we can be glad that we had a chance to know and to love him. Since sports were an important part of his life, we would like to dedi- cate this section to the memory of Coach Sekerak and all that he did for South Adams High School. God sometimes moves in mysterious ways. We neither understand why or how. But we must accept whatever His plan. He has taken a truly great man from us. Probably one of the most wonderful we have ever met. But it is done. And we must look to the future. And pray that He will give us the strength to go on. And thank Him for the short time we had to share With a man we all learned to know and love. -Deb O ' Dell ;if i rlr ' ' ' ± ixJi 2-, ■ i ' Sii j 1971-72 GRIDIRON SEASON Top Row, Left to Right: Coaches Beer and Mosser, Ron Stevens, Bob Bertsch, Stan Neuenschwander, Charlie Neuenschwander, Dean Von Gunton, Jim Keller, Gary BoUenbacher, John Liechty, Rick Neuenschwander, Gary Habegger, Scott Rigby, Head Coach Sekerak, and Assistant Coach Metzger .

Coach Bresnahan built a strong team and had his runners physically prepared for the exhausting two mile course. For the third year, the Stars were able to capture the county crown. South Adams was once again host for the Limberlost Invitational meet in which there were ten entries. The Stars were able to place third and were backed by the entire Pep Club and the football squad. Dallas Liechty, a strong Senior with endurance, did a fine job as the number one runner in the pack, and he was backed by two other Seniors, Gregg Sprunger and Sam Beitler. Sophomore Jay Lehman represented his grade well, and the only Junior, Greg Moser, battled injuries to help insure several Starfire victories.

Seniors Jean, Judy and Carol can be proud of their abilities and accomplishments. To Carla and Karen, we wish lots of luck for another year of cheerleading. Varsity Joyce, Viv, and Gaye came through with lots of school spirit during the exciting reserve games. These girls all have talent, and should have bright future in leading cheers.

V. Phillips Award We ' re Proud of Our STARFIRES Well the Starfires did it, and they did it tremendously. The spirit of the team, fans, and com- munity just couldn ' t be matched anywhere else in the state. Other than our 22-5 closing record , S . A . went farther than any other Adams County team in tourney play. We were the third NEIC team to reach state and got farther than the other two teams. State Fin- als were an experience in itself. Although S.A. had the smallest enrollment of the Big 4, we had the largest and most enthusiastic group of fans! There were pa- rades and speeches on the follow- ing day. Congratulations went to the team and Alan Beitler, who won the coveted L.V. Phil- lips Award. Pitcher Doug Neuen with Coach Stahly SCHOOL ACTIVITIES ? ' H -r- V rj. ■f .

The night too soon departs. And though it dies, it leaves a mem ' ry Flowing in our hearts, A glow that is the symbol of the happy days we ' ve known. Of countless friends and dreams come true. Of three years that have flown. Of three short years that hurried by. And to them now we cling, As rather wistfully we reach. Our Prom, th e final fling. 109 GRA D UA TION: THE END OF A OH HAPPY DAY! May 21, 1972 will always be remembered by us as the day we started our struggle in the world. Each of us will recall the hot evening when we marched on the gym floor up to the stage to re- ceive that precious diploma. Then the thing we may remember most is the joyous celebration in the halls following graduation. It was a mix- ture of whoops, kisses, tears, and howls. Then afterwards we realize that each and everyone of us from that day forward would pursue his own course in life. HH| HfI.%1H 1 m ' 1 % KE-. ' i, ' 1 i ' l Uafk ' ' ..
