Gt} ALLEN COUNTY PUBLIC LIE 3 1833 01737 8396 GENEALOGY n ,201 ADIBES 1979 7979 REFLECTION i , y% THE 70 ' s was a decade that brought many strange and exciting happenings into the world and into our communi- ty, such as the Watergate scandal, the new sport called streaking, the ending of the Vietnam Conflict, the gas and oil shortages, the energy crisis, and infla- tion; and locally, there was a beautiful new high school built, the 1973 base- ball Stars were state runners-up, the school lost several established teachers, principals, and a superintendent, but they were replaced by capable people, and numerous athletes, students, and musicians turned in stellar perform- ances and achieved success in various fields. For the seniors it was a decade full of heartaches, headaches, and back- aches, but above all, it was a decade full of happiness and togetherness. Most of the seniors never dreamed that some- day they would be wearing that silly cap and gown and would be walking up the steps to receive their diploma. They watched through the years as the older grades went through the ceremony, but they just could not make themselves believe that someday it would happen to them. But now the time has come, and although most of them have waited for an eternity for the moment when they would not have to return to the high school, many of them will miss it after it is gone. The Class of 79 will be remembered for many outstanding accomplishments, but their greatest distinction will be that they were the best and the last graduating class of the decade. .

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK ON these two pages we will attempt to give you a little peek at a few of the activi- ties, functions, sporting events, and people that are involved in the school and that will be shown later in the book. There were numerous new and different, not to men- tion interesting and exciting, ideas intro- duced into the school program. Several people introduced the fresh ideas which helped to lighten the sometimes-boring days. It was an outstanding year for every- one involved at the school, and there were many standout performances registered in several fields. The last year of the decade was a vast year of change because of the new teachers and administrators that made their presence known at our school and the fresh ideas that these people and others introduced. 1979 was a good year at the high school, and hopefuUy the coming years in the 80 ' s will be just as good or better than this last year.

MR. and Mrs. Bridge on their wedding day in 1965 What a mistake she made. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU GAVE US The 1979 edition of the Reflection is proudly dedicated to Mr. Robert Bridge. Mr. Bridge is a fantastic human being who was always there when someone needed help or advice. Besides teaching us the important facts of history, he also talked to us about current events, and he taught us about life in general, which is just as important as the in- formation in our history books. Mr. Bridge is also a talented football and track coach who molds his teams into close-knit families that work together as a unit. We realize that suc- cessful coaches move up the ladder and that it is quite possible that he will leave South Adams in the near future. Hopefully, he will remain at South Adams a little longer in or- der that many other students and athletes will be able to receive the benefits and enjoy- ments that we have for the last four years. We would like to express our sincere apprecia- tion, gratitude, and respect to Mr. Robert Bridge, a highly respected man in our eyes, for making our last four years in high school, four of the most memorable that we will ever experience. Wc wish the best for you in the years ahead, and we hope that someday our paths will meet again. Thanks for everything from the Class of 79. MR. Bridge relates to members of the boys ' track team.

The Homecoming festivities Degan with a flaming bonfire on Thursday ;vening. Many of the student body and Tiany people from the community attended the bonfire on the cold, drizzly night to isten to Coach Bob Bridge explain how the defense and offense of the team functioned. He also introduced the starting offensive ind defensive un its for the upcoming game. On Friday afternoon from 3:30-7:00 P.M., the FFA held its annual chicken bar- Deque. The meal included half of a chicken, baked beans, roll and butter, peanut butter Drownie, and milk or jungle juice. Prior to Homecoming, the student coun- cil decided not to have a float competition but instead to have a hall decorating com- petition. The first prize of twenty-five dol- lars went to the freshmen class, who dec- orated the teachers ' dining area. Another exciting event during Home- coming was the crowning of the Queen. The student council also decided not to have a King for Homecoming, but to have escorts for the Queen candidates only. Selected as 1978 Homecoming Queen by her fellow students was Miss Tami Amstutz, the daugliter of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Am- stutz. Prior to the crowning, the Marching Starfires performed for the crowd. The big event of the ent ire festivities was the football game against county rival, Adams Central. South Adams dominated the Flying Jets and handed them a 30-6 de- feat. At that point in the season, the Stars proudly owned a perfectly unblemished 5-0 record. Following the game, a dance sponsored by the student council was held in the com- mons. The highly recommended band, Aug- ust Heat, performed for the many people who attended the dance. The entire Homecoming celebration had to rank as one of the most successful and spirited in South Adams History. 1977 Queen Tanya Lehman presents newly crowned Queen Tami Amstutz witli a gift. BEAUTIFUL FACES AT SOUTH ADAMS A person walking around South Adams High School can see a great variety of facial expressions during the course of a year. We thought that it would be interesting to cap- ture some of these expressions and show them to you. We tried to illustrate a wide range of looks, ranging from happy and ridiculous to sad and despairing. Although many of these students have on disguises, we hope that the parents of these people will be able to identify their children. PEEK-A-Boo!! TWO fine gentlemen, Mike Lehman and Randy Moser, look over their psychology class. I ( mJ ' WE know what you ' re ' thinking, Gino, you sly devil. THAT sad and depressed feeling one gets when trying to finish a French assignment is shown by Myra Myers. TWO Track stars, Lori Gay and Teresa Gerber, laugh it up.

FOR three years Lori Steiner and Sondra Herman opened their mouths for the Pep Club. A love nest of eighth graders. WE hope that none of these people are looking at or talking about anything that will get them into trouble. A group of sophomore girls discuss the activities of the night before. NO, Rex, you can ' t come over tonight because there is school tomorrow. FOR A BREAK IN THE ROUTINE THE beautiful halls at South Adams High School present a diversity of attract- ions and atmospheres. The halls are a busy and crowded section of the school when students arrive for school, between classes, lunch -time, and when school finishes for the day. The carpeted halls offer the stu- dents a comfortable place to exchange in- teresting gossip, study for a test, complete assignments, talk to loved ones and friends, or just to sit down and relax before the next class. Many students enjoy mingling in the halls before school begins in order that they may discuss the happenings of the night before, rationalize about the up- coming day or hopefully grab an extra 15 minutes of sleep. The students also enjoy spending time in the halls during the lunch hour, which seems to help break the monot- ony and seriousness of their other classes. A big smile forms on Christie Werst face while she is decorating the halls. SEVERAL students take a break before they embark on another difficult class. IT appears that Sheryl Amstutz can ' t decide where she should begin. Cary Herman THESE two senior pictures were placed on these pa- ges because they were not present when the seniors had their pictures taken. YOU shouldn ' t give dirty looks to your teacher, Robin. MANY students work on their accounting during activity period. TAKE A CLOSER LOOK IT appears that Cary and Jane are boring Renee. MOST people think that Lori is in love, while every- one knows that Teresa is crazy. These two pages wiU attempt to show you a closer look at some of our students and your children at many of their vary- ing activities and in many different circum- stances. We realize that we may show you something that you did not even know your child was involved in, but, hopefully, we will not shock anybody by exposing these photographs to you. Some of them miglit even show your child working. MR. Leistner and Judd Johnson make an effort to understand what the computer is saying.

THE high school had many new faces en- ter the faculty and administrative systems. The eight new men had to come in to replace the famiUar faces that left last year. They had to enter a new town, get accustomed to a different setting, atmosphere, and unfamiliar people, and they had to fill positions such as teachers, counsellors, and principals. Although they had the usual problems that come to people in a strange environment, these people did an outstanding job of coping with the problems in and out of school. The nine fresh faces coming to the high school this year were those of Dr. Oren G. Skinner, Mr. Michael C. Hazen, Mr. Ted Schwartz, Mr. Malcolm Stauffer, Mr. Fred Schuman, Mr. Edward Buzzard, Mr. Steve Tatman, and Mr. Kent Hoopingarner. These people introduced several original ideas, as- sembhes, and innovations for the students, and we appreciate what they contributed to South Adams High School. MANY teachers do more than teach as Mr. Ted Schwartz exemplifies when he was caught partici- pating in the pioneer day. THE organizer of the tournament, Miss Jones, takes a break from the heart pounding action. THE determination shows on Bo Moore ' s face as he returns a big shot during the doubles tourney. DOUBLE partners, Mike Gerber and Mark Moore, prepare to defeat their opponent.

PING PONG TOURNEY SOUTH Adams High School held its first ping pong tournament during the last nine weeks of school. The participants, under the watchful eye of Ms. Norma Jones, played their games during their lunch hour and dur- ing activity period. The contest received a huge amount of interest with numerous con- testants participating in the men and women singles and doubles and in the mixed doubles. It was an interesting and exciting event for both the people who participated and for those who watched. Hopefully the contest will become an annual event. We appreciate all the time and effort that was put forth by the people responsible in order for us to have a change of atmosphere. SEVERAL intense and hard fought ping pong matches take place in the gymnasium. THE mixed doubles tandum of Linda Van Emon and Dave Neuenschwander anticipate their oppo- nents next move. THE mixed champions, Peggy Miracle and Mike Lehman, illustrate their winning form. A FINAL GLANCE AT THE AMAZING SENIORS A reinacted scene from Hee Haw was the Senior girls Sectional pep club skit. A couple of egotistical, eccentric maniacs sit in a math room. THESE two pages, titled A Last Look at the Seniors, are in memory of the last grad- uating class of the ' 70 ' s at South Adams High School. Since tliis is their yearbook, we felt it would be nice to give you a last glimpse at our departing class. Although they will be gone physically from the school, we are posi- tive that many people will hold them in their memories for a long time after their departure. The school will lose a valuable dimension when this outgoing, fun-loving, talented group takes its leave. Even though the class is somewhat lazy, they did work ex- tremely hard at having a good time. They accompUshed a great deal, and they added an exciting aura to the character of the school. We sincerely hope that this classy, star-studded, and last-of-the-decade class of ' 79 will use the achievements and knowledge that they garnered through their thirteen years of school to the best of their abihty. SOMETIMES it is hard for students to stay awake at school. DR. J. gives us the thumbs up sign. Msm 4 f Ik WE hope you are having an enjoyable day, Tod- dy-Poo. THE evil, eerie look of Randy Moser. THE senior guys finish a song for their Section- al pep club presentation. THE four folly jollies take time out of their busy schedule to pose for a picture.

DO you have to revert to your childhood habits Cathy? PLEASE don ' t eat that, Mr. Fry. WHILE Seth Scholer attempts to make a speech, Matt Lehman does his best to look intelligent. TAKING IT EASY THE facial expressions and funny posi- tions illustrated on these pages are of various people in school and in the community. During the course of a year, many people occupy themselves in numerous strange and hilarious activities! Occasionally, these people would make outlandish facial expressions during the span of one of these activities. We attempted to catch some of these faces and also some of the other places and posi- tions that personnel, students, and towns- people find themselves. There was a wide range of places where our cameraman caught these looks and actions. Some of them were captured during a classroom scene while others were caught in a casual setting such as in the gym, halls, office, or in some other part of the school. WILL someone tell us who this ugly creature is? SEVERAL single dancers, Doug Harris, Ron Min- nich, Mitch Simon, Jim Hartman, Jeff Sprunger, search for someone else to dance. CHERYL Lash and her date dance the night away. FANTASY ISLAND if ON May 1 1 , the juniors hosted their Ju- nior-Senior reception. The juniors put in many hours and a grand amount of money to make the prom a success. The theme for the prom came from the TV show Fantasy Is- land. The palm trees, the fountains of water, and the sandy beach were just a few of the things which added to the beautiful setting. School photographer Dan Hill took pic- tures of the good-looking couples and groups prior to the meal, and he also took pictures of the festivities. After a mouth-watering meal catered by the Palmer House restaurant. the band Kit Hara entertained the people. The churches of the area also sponsored a concert for those who did not want to stay at the school for the entire three hours. The festivities were brought to a close with a hilarious movie, The Return of the Rnk Panther. It was joyous time for all the peo- ple involved and an occasion that will always be remembered. A big thanks goes to the junior class who gave their time and money in order that the seniors and other guests could have a good time. NOT needing to dance to be close are Scott Moser and Penny Adams. WAITING for their pictures to be taken are Rex Sprunger and Gerri Augsburger. ANOTHER group of dancers enjoying Kit Hara. UNSURE about crossing into Fantasy Island are Milte Leiiman and Lori Hendricks. THEY WILL BE MISSED AND REMEMBERED BY MANY PEOPLE THE FINAL SALUTE TO THE PROUD CLASS OF 79 MR. Ron Ferd Minnich smiles at all his fans after receiving his diploma. ff THE 1979 Graduation ceremonies held in the South Adams gymnasium brought the seniors career at South Adams to a tearful end. For some it was a joyful time as they were happy to be leaving high school, but for many it was a depressing feehng knowing that their high school days were over. For the parents and friends it was a time of mixed emotions. During the short 45 minute program, several seniors spoke including Rex Lautzen- heiser and Nancy Sauder who gave short talks, Dean DeArmond gave the Invocation, and Mike Lehman gave the Benediction. One hundred and thirteen diplomas were distributed to the Class of 79 by the school board. Also adding to the program was tne senior choir which sang two wonderful selec- tions, and a girls ' septet sang a beautiful number. THE benediction was given by Mike Lehman.

There are many different and exciting courses in the two areas that the students have to choose from. Under the careful teachings of Mrs. Neuen- schwander, Mrs. Myers, Mrs. Cook, Mrs. Minch, Mrs. Under, Miss Andrews, and Mr. Tatman, the students have many opportuni- ties to learn new and interesting informa- tion. Teaching the students how to make cir- cles, understand graphs, draw straight and curvy lines, write math equations and work with various other mathematical equations and problems are Mr. Leistner, Mr. Huser, Mr. Grogg, and Miss Morris. The math department also installed a new Computer Programming class that was taught by Mr. Leistner. He took the class to the Fort Wayne Community School Admin- istrative Building for a look at advanced computers.

THE warm Fall weather brought freshman science to the great outdoors. KKK at South Adams? No, it is just one of our faculty members HISTORY rr SCIENCE THE science and history departments are two more important aspects of our academic program. A student can learn and experience many interesting and fascinating develop- ments from the variety of courses that the school offers in these two areas. Mr. Sheets heads the science department with superb assistance coming from Mr. Mertz, Mr. Leistner, Mr. Huser, and Mr. Hoopingarner. The courses include eighth and freshmen science, biology, chemistry, physics, and Advanced Biology. Many of the dedicated students and lovers of science participate in the pride and joy of the science department, the Science Fair. The top finish- ers in the different divisions advance to the Regional competition at Fort Wayne. The field of history also offers much variety with courses ranging from general history to senior government where the seniors learn to fill out income tax forms, learn some of the processes of our govern- ment, play jeopardy, and watch Mr. Bridge slowly lose his hair. Mr. Bridge, Mr. Agler, Mr. Fry, and Mr. Hazen man the head his- tory positions. AN eighth grade history class gets totally involved in Mr. Fry ' s intelligent speech. SEVERAL girls from the Home Economics depart- ment enjoy a delicious meal that they prepared. HOPING that she does not die if she eats the meal, is Carol Steiner. HOME EC. IND. ARTS HOME economics and industrial arts are two vocational areas which teach many out- standing courses. Mrs. Merkel and Mrs. Yake illustrate to the home ec. students the basic skills in sewing, cooking, and crocheting. They also offer learning courses such as mini-clothing, mini-foods, a course on child care, and a mar- ried hfe course. With the aid given to them by their instructors, the students prepare themselves for single or married life after high school. Leading the students on the right paths in the industrial arts department are Mr. Arnold, Mr. Oswalt, Mr. Schuman, and Mr. Buzzard. Although they teach the pupils only the fundamentals in the classes such as drafting, small engines, woods, welding, plastics, and electronics, many of the stu- dents acquire a sufficient amount of know- ledge and desire in a particular field to create an interest so that they pursue this field as their career. A fantastic project being manufactured by Kevin Neuenschwander and Bradley Lehman. PHYS. ED CAFETERIA Two areas of our school which most peo- ple do not seem to mind attending are the gym and the cafeteria. Many people enjoy taking out the frustra- tions of their other classes in the various phys ed activities. Lunchtime is a period that almost every- body welcomes, even though they often com- plain about the food. With the addition of the snack bar last year, students and faculty en- joy a big variety of food at minimum prices. ONE of the gym classes demonstrates the art of pillow polo. THIS particular gym class an.xiously awaits their chance to partake of the warm water of our pool. MISS Joan Schwartz amazes Dian Neuenschwander at the amount of food she can inhale as she begins her fourth tray. BEING ashamed of her face, Cheryl Lehman tries to cover part of it up, while Linda Rich plays with her bun. SEVERAL Accounting students try to figure out what in the world they are doing. THREE odd looking artist work on making new masks for themselves. They are Dian Neunschwand- et, Sondra Herman, and Ken Chaffins. .1 D U ART BUSINESS TWO other departments of our school which do not receive as much recognition as others but do aid in the development of the student are the art and business areas. Teacliing the students knowledgeable facts about accounting, consumer economics, busi- ness law, general business, and typing are Mrs. Rhoades, Mr. Miller, and Mrs. Weimer. Mrs. Arlene Clark filled in for Mrs. Weimer when she was ill. Mrs. Rhoades also taught a night class in shorthand. Numerous accounting students were fortunate enough to have their year extended into the summer in an effort to finish their packets. Mrs. Johnson and Mr. Schwartz teach the art pupils a variety of art. They show them the art of photography, sculpturing, drawing, oil painting, ceramics, and several other odds and ends. The hard work and time that is put into these works is not wasted as the artists display their masterpieces at the Pops Concert. There are many different and inventive creations and ideas to be learned from these areas. WHILE Lisa Sprunger helps Ingrid Bieberstein with her typewriter, Don Harrison plays in his chair. DON ' T you people understand what I am saying? ALL alone, in the middle of the Mbrary, was Kim Mason. AND the band plays on. . .well, at least some of them. NOW, you must keep y our class quiet, Mr. Tatman. IN a vain attempt, Kim Mason tries to peck her way through a new song. THE last two learning departments of our school are the all essential library and the important music area. Mrs. Un- der rules the library with a firm, but kind hand along with help from Miss Rose Tee- pie, Mrs. Lautzenheiser, and Mrs. Fields. The hbrary is a very important aspect of the students learning because without it, the students would have a difficult time learning and completing many of their assignments. The hbrary provides differ- ent types of literature and information that a student needs in order that he may finish an assignment. Mr. Knoch and Mr. Epp are the leaders of the music department. Composing the music region is the Marching Band, Pep Band, Symphonic, Eighth and Ninth Grade Bands, Orchestra, Chamber Choir, Acap- peUa Choir, Eighth and Ninth Grade Choirs, and various music classes. These organizations provided a wide range of en- tertainment for many people throughout the course of the year. WHENEVER you have a problem, just ask Rose. THREE little angels, Fred, Judd, and Ked have a good time in choir. -W- .VJ. 4mJt V-f ..IE BALSIGES JOANN BEDFORD LSLA ICHARD COVER J TA SICHER GINO SONDRA HERMAN MAN MAxRK LEHMA R MILLER PEGGYf RICK NEUENSCH ' i SAUDER JOAN S(m.

TENNIS THE South Adams tennis team had a dis- appointing season in some aspects; but in others, it was very successful. At the begin- ning of the year, the team suffered a big letdown when three members of last year ' s varsity team decided not to go out this year. They were Judd Johnson, Rick Hill, and John Schindler. A bright spot in the season was the strong play of Rex Lautzenheiser and Bobby Sprunger at first doubles. They won the only point for the Stars in the Sectional, and they led the team with an 11-4 record. Rex and Bob were named to the N. E. I. A. C. All-Conference Honorable Mention squad. The team record for the year was 4-11. The reserve team finished at 5-3. Scott Habegger and Kyle Velasco led the team with an 8-0 record. There were several good, young players on the team who should help out next year. In the South Adams Post-Tournament, Doug Sipe, who played first singles for the Stars, defeated Rex Lautzenheiser for the championship. In the doubles. Rex and Bob were crowned champions after defeating Doug Sipe and Mark Neuenschwander. DETERMINATION shows on Bob ' s face in a successful doubles match. CROSS COUNTRY COACH Grogg instructs senior leader, Mark Leh- man, on how to run the race. THE Cross Country team had a frustra- ting year this past season. They were hurt by the loss of Lee Flueckiger, who had sur- gery during the summer, and a late season injury to Don Branstetter. The team sported a 4-10 win, loss record. There were several high spots during the course of the year. Curtis Bailey, Ed Wheeler, Steve Bauman. and Mark Lehman bettered their best times from last year by more than thirty seconds. Mark also won his second consecutive Adams County Championship, and he placed on the N. E. L A. C. All-Con- ference second team. The team finished fourth out of six teams in the Bi-County, and their lowest score was an 1 8 against Wood Ian. Coach Grogg is hoping for things to im- prove in the future. He is expecting some strong runners back for next year, and he is planning on trying to get a Junior High program started. If Coach Grogg succeeds in getting such a program started in the lower grades, it should give the kids some valuable experience for their varsity years.

They posted a 6-5 record, and they finished 5th out of 10 teams in the Sectional. THE eight-member squad, led by the strong coaching of Coach Dorsch, set many school records throughout the year. Junior Kristy Moser, the oldest member of the team, set records in the 50-Freestyle and 100-Backstroke. Jilaine Lehman broke the old school record in the 500-Free. Janet Van Emon, whom the team selected as their most valuable swimmer, posted school records in the 200-Free, 200-Individual Medley, 100- Butterfly, 100-Free,and the 100-Breastroke. Kristy, Janet, Tricia Wulliman, and Rhea Ann Sprunger set a school record in the 400- Free Relay. It was a great accomplishment for these hard-working girls. COACH Dorsch has extremely high ex- pectations for the upcoming season because he will not lose anyone from this unit, and there is a strong nucleus of good swimmers coming from the 8th grade.

Ron Ferd Minnich, who was 12-10 on the year, ended his career in strong fashion, finishing first in the sectional and third in the regional. He also placed 5th in the Adams County invitational and 3rd in the Jay County invitational.

BOYS ' SWIMMING THE boys swim team, under the superb coaching of Mr. Dorsch, who is considered as one of the best coaches in the state, had a fantastic season. The squad was 6-6-1 in their dual meets which tied a school record for most wins in a season, and they set a school record by winning 107 out of 143 first places for a 75% winning percentage. They placed 2nd out of nine teams in the Sectional, and they tied for 18th at the State meet. The coaches association ranked the Stars number one all season in the Class A state swimming polls and 35th in the final poll including all A, AA. and AAA schools, 150 of them having swim- ming. Sectional champions were Dennis Kruse in the 200 and 500-Free; David Kruse in the 500-Free; Daniel Kruse in the 100 Back: an d the 400 Free Relay, con- sisting of David Kruse, Jim Umpleby, Dennis Kruse. and Mitch Simon.

Dennis garnered 3rd places in the 200 and 500 Free at State, with e.xceptional times in both events.

Coach Hoopingarner worked numerous new ideas into the offense and defense which should help future teams immensely as they grow accustomed to it. The team had some difficulty adapting to the strange styles, but they showed signs at various times of putting everything together. They played an aggres- sive, hustling, and position style of play, scoring on a 55 point cHp per game and hold- ing their opponents to a stingy 62 points per contest. The offense was deliberate with running intertwined on occasion, and the defense used a variety of zone defenses. Dean DeArmond, who made 2nd team All- Conference, paced the Stars with a 15.7 scoring average, 47% field goal shooting, and a 8.7 rebounding average. Jim Hartman fol- lowed with 12.1 scoring cUp, and he made Honrable Mention All N.E.I.A.C. Rick Hill led the team in assists, and he was second in rebounds at 7.6 per game and shooting at 46% from the field. Kelly Caffee was the leading free throw shooter at 70%. The Starfires will have three returning starters and with the help that is expected from the reserve and freshmen ranks and the hard work and dedication that is put in, it is hoped that the Stars will embark on a winning season under the excellent coaching of Coach Hoopingarner.

For the players, coaches, and fans it was a disappointing year as many people had felt that the team had the potential and talent to have a fan- tastic season, but injuries to several players, bad weather at the beginning of the spring, and bad luck hurt their chances. Although the seniors wiU not be able to avenge the season, there will be a strong nucleus of underclassmen who will hopefully be able to take over and turn the year around.

Teresa Gerber, the lone senior, placed 6th in the high jump; Linda Dubach won the hurdles for the second consecutive year, and she also won the hurdles in the Conference meet and placed 6th in the Re- gional. Linda Rich, Lori Gay, Teresa Gerber, and Linda Dubach ran on the 880 relay team which won the Huntington Sectional and finished second in the Conference. The same four girls also ran on the 440 relay team that placed second in the Conference and 5th in the Sectional. With the strong runners from this squad and the talented contingent from the 8th grade team, next year ' s team should be the strongest ever.

LINKSMEN DRIVE THEIR WAY TO FIVE VICTORIES LED by their first year coach, Kent Hoop- ingamer, the golf team recorded a decent 5-8 record. The team was 4-3 at the Wabash Valley Golf Club, and 1-5 on the road. The squad named Bill Brenneman as their Most Valuable Player. Although the team suffered several disappointments, there were numerous bright spots registered by the young men, including an eagle by Mark Neuenschwander on the 6th hole against Huntington North and a season low score of 165 registered at Jay County. The squad will lose only one player via the graduation route with 3 lettermen and several other players who played varsity matches returning. Hopefully the team wdll be able to improve on their record next season.

JV FR. FOOTBALL After having seven games scheduled and only getting to play five because of two for- feits, the Jr. varsity football team went on to post a 2-3 record. This record is rather deceiving considering that in the last two games of the season, the Starfires scored as many touchdowns as their opponent, but their inability to convert their extra points led to their eventual defeat. With the valuable experience that the sophomores and the few juniors who played this season gained, they should be able to adequately step in and fill the shoes of the thirteen graduating seniors. FINISHING with a win over Adams Cen- tral, the freshmen football team ended with a 4-3 record. The freshmen showed spots of good defense in registering three shut-outs during the course of the year. The high points of the season were the 14-0 victory over Bellmont in the rain, and the team giving up a total of only six points in their four victories. What made the victory over Bell- mont so satisfying was that Bellmont had defeated them when they were in the 7th and 8th grade. The experience they gained in these games will aid them in their future Varsity years. SCOTT Litwiller, hoping for a fine return, waits for his line to form in front of him.

FR. BASKETBALL IF only my arm was a little longer, then maybe I could get the tip. ALTHOUGH the reserve basketball team had a losing season of 3-16, they did illustrate a very competitive nature as they lost 9 of their games by 5 points or less. The final outcome of many of their games was not decided until the closing seconds. Brent Bixler, Judd Jolinson, and Fausto Bucheli led the team in scoring with an average of nearly 7 points a game. Brian Evans and Vaughn Nussbaum led the squad in rebounding, and Phil Leh- man led in assists. THE freshman A and B basketball teams finished the season with 4-11 and 1-10 re- spectively. It was a disappointing season for the young men as there were several injuries to many key personel. Jere Johnson won scoring honors with a 11 .1 average. Steve Hendricks led the team in rebounding, and Mark Flueckiger won the assist contest. With three years of high school left, it is certain that many of these players should blend well into the Starfire basketball system.

Bell- mont, who went on to win the berth to the Regional, defeated the Stars by a score of 6-2. Although the Braves only outhit the Stars 6A, they were aided by three costly Starfire errors and nine free passes. The game was extremely close at 1 -0 after four innings when Bellmont erupted for four runs in the fifth inning on four walks, two errors, and one hit. The Stars were also hurt by their inability to get the clutch hit as they stranded twelve runners. THE Starfires played their best games in the Sectional, defeating Adams Central 80-60, and losing to Bellmont 68-60 in the cham- pionship game. It was a total team effort that defeated the Jets as all five starters scored in double figures The Stars played their hearts out against BeUmont, and they led by seven points at the end of the third quarter, but poor free throw shooting through- out the game and hot shooting by Bellmont at the beginning of the fourth quarter proved fatal for the Stars. It was a great showing by the squad, and it gave many fans, players, and coaches hope for the 79-80 season.

The band received many awards from the events that they participated in, with the icing being put on the cake when they walked off with first place honors at the Bluffton Street Fair. The band also entertained the hundreds of football fans at each and every football game with superior pre-game and half-time shows being performed. Drum majors, Kevin Knoch and Doug Lunn ably assisted Mr. Knoch in his endeavors. What made this past year a success was the hard work and devotion of the bandsmen. During the summer they prac- ticed in the morning 2-3 times a week, and during the first nine weeks of the school year, they practiced during Activity period and several times before school began. The annual Marching Band banquet was held on November 6th. A delicious meal catered by the Palmer House originated the festivities, followed by the presenting of a gift to Mr. Knoch from the band, the award- ing of yearly honors to the band members, and the program was completed with an enjoyable program presented by Mr. Pete Carlson.

SYMPHONIC band NINTH grade band THE bands, choirs, and orchestra, under the fine leadership of Mr. Knoch and Mr. Epp, displayed a masterful talent in their musi- cal exhibitions. They entertained hundreds of people with their beautiful musical ability in the concerts that they participated at during the year. Along with the many concerts that the bands and choirs per- formed at, the chamber choir played for various civic groups, senior citizens organizations, and numerous churches, throughout the area, including one in Ft. Wayne. Members of many of the bands played Christmas songs at differen t stores and establish- ments in the area on the first day of Christmas vacation. The bands and choirs also won numerous awards at local and state contests, and there were also many solo and ensemble win- ners at the contests. Mr. Knoch and Mr. Epp organized a talented orchestra that played all of the music for the high school musical Annie Get Your Gun. Mr. Epp arranged a swing choir routine for the cham- ber choir, which they performed at the Pops Concert. We would hke to express our appreciation to these groups for their outstand- ing efforts and accomplishments and wish them continued success in future endeavors. y _ - _ d;r HlJI V B u H -nv B- ' vm ' is F H bCIii - -i i h -i :m 1 ' ♦ ' Jfl ? sn r • ' 1 ' J Sl r ' W TOPwl THE high school band worked hard.

Karen Crider sponsored the pep club, along with help from the cheerleaders and the represen- tatives from grades eight through twelve. The pep band, under the firm guidance of Mr. Gene Knoch, supported the team with their voices, and they also provided musical entertainment for the many fans during time-outs and intermissions. They played rfresic for the auxiliary corps routines, and they supplied entertainment at pep sessions and numerous extra-curricular activities. We would like to thank these people for their hard work, dedication, and for following and supporting the Stars. THE girls in the pep club get excited by holding onto each other ' s shoulders.

DID someone call the Doctor? THE Drama Club presented a beauti- ful rendition of the Diary of Anne Frank in November. Mrs. Melissa Beitler, director of the production, did a credible job of organizing the play and guiding the members of the cast. The crew members, performers, and director spent endless hours practicing in order to make the show a success. This practicing and dedi- cation payed them dividends in the end as they put on a talented exhibition. The students, who were the stars , displayed a seasoned talent which helped in getting the show off the ground. It was a total united effort with the members of the cast and crew working together beauti- fully. THERE seems to be some sort of misunderstand- ing here.

All of the performers did an outstanding job on their various selec- tions. The art students and Mrs. Johnson dis- played their amazing works of art for the people to view during the course of the evening. Also contributing to the success of the program were the dehcious snack foods which were served by several seventh grade couples. Lori Steiner, Gretta Lehman, Robin Moore, Doug Lunn, Tonia Amstutz, and Cathy Sprunger won the coveted music awards which the music department presents. It was a joyous and entertaining evening for all of the people involved, and it again ended the music season in a strong fashion.

NEWSPAPER AND YEARBOOK STAFF THE newspaper and yearbook staff, under the watchful and helpful eyes of Mrs. Neuen- schwander, worked extremely hard on their endeavors. The newspaper staff, which is led by co- editors Cathy Sprunger and Joan Schwartz, attempted to publish a paper every two to three weeks, but due to a lack of news, their efforts were sometimes hampered. The news- paper improved during the year with many new ideas being introduced. Co-editors, Bill Brenneman, and Dean De- Aimond, manufactured the 224-page year- book with a tremendous amount of help coming from the staff. Several members of the staff worked every time they had a few minutes to spare in the school day. THE hard-working, dedicated people work on stamping and indexing pictures.

They held the carnival to help raise money for the various needs of the music de- partment. Hundreds of people ventured out to the festivities, which included a huge num- ber of activities. A few of the big attractions were the ring toss, water balloon throw, bas- ketball toss, and bingo. There was also an auction after the carnival which offered many beautiful items. It was an enjoyable evening for the many people, with the various attractions catching the attention of everybody from infancy to adults. ISN ' T that an odd way of shooting a basketball, Tim? The auction attracted huge groups of people. THE most popular game at the carnival is the ring toss for cokes. y N UHAHAM DUUG HAKKIS JA ffiS HAKTM; TETT DENNIS KRUSE REX LAUTZENHEISEI LIECHTY TEREI LIECHTY TAMI MATHYS C 40SER SUSAN MOSER DAVID MYERS DIAf REICHERT RICHARD RHOADES TRACY RIES JNGSR CATHY SPRUNGER JAMES SPRUNGEI VALERIE SUHR JANET TEEPLE TERESA TI 3ERS0N MIKE ALT BETTY AMSTUTZ TAMI [NS GARY COBLENTZ LYNN COLPAERT KEI 4YERS DIA : ?

Like most classes, they had their several groups, but, as we not- iced, most of the students got along well. Many of the students achieved great accomp- hshments. The senior football players re- bounded from their frustrating early years to reach eventual excellence in their final two years. The number of basketball players decreased each year, but the four who did stick it out displayed a hard-working and talented type of play. Tlie Senior Starfires also produced several other outstanding feats with super individual efforts being made in cross country, volleyball, boys ' swimming, boys ' tennis, girls ' tennis, base- ball, track, golf, and wresthng. They also produced many strong perfor- mances in the music area. They gained rec- ognition in dramas, musicals, local and state contests, and other musical activities in the area. The class also had one student, John Schindler, who finished his required work in three years and attended colleg e at Wab- ash this year. The Elks Club named various students Teenager of the Month. Overall, the class was a unique and fine group who through high and low times stood together until the end.

ALL OUR CHILDREN WE have tried to show you, the reader, the serious and also the carefree sides of many of our students at South Adams. We even showed you how some of the stu- dents in the senior class have changed in looks and styles over the years. ALTHOUGH school is designed for the person to learn and gain an education, there are times when they have to do something crazy to break up the monot- ony of a day or week. THESE sophisticated and crazy people are your children, and who knows, maybe someday one of them will end up being the president of our country. We would like to thank the parents for giving us these super people. SOMETHING or someone has caught the intense and dazed look of Alison Minch.

These var- ious functions are extremely important for the participants be- cause it teaches them competiveness and togetherness which will benefit them immensely when they reach the high school age. It also aids the coaches and directors because the students have learned many of the fundamentals in their respective areas. Hope- fully, they will use this talent and knowledge that they have plant- ed and they will fertilize it in the upcoming years in order to be- come hard-working, competent, and successful individuals. We would like to express our appreciation to the numerous people who take their valuable time in order to make all of these func- tions possible.

They do a wide range of jobs for the benefit of other people. The maintenance men repair any item that is repairable, and they also keep the buses and other articles in working condi- tion. The bus drivers, like the mail carriers, travel through almost anything. They skillful- ly maneuver their vehicles through narrow ice covered roads unless it is totally impossible for them to engineer their buses safely. The cooks work extremely hard preparing delici- ous meals for the faculty and students. The custodians do a number of jobs ranging from preparing the school for the next day ' s classes to readying the football field and basketball court for upcoming sporting events, not to mention all of their other duties. Mr. Gary Habegger also helped clear off the parking lots and sidewalks after our numerous big snow falls.

ANOTHER picture of Mr. Burke. STUDENT CADET THE Cadet and Student teachers were im- portant functions of the schools in our school system. The nine Cadet teachers participated with various classes at the Berne Elementary. They helped the different teachers by grad- ing tests, answering children ' s questions, and sometimes they took over the class. It is an outstanding learning period for the girls as they learned several teaching techniques, and they learned to work with younger children. The higli school was fortunate to have four Student teachers take their training here. The four new people, Miss Palmer, Miss Mil- ler, Miss Foltz, and Mr. Burke, did a superb job in their respective areas. Miss Palmer and Miss Miller worked in the physical education area, a nd they helped coach the jr. high and high school volleyball teams. Miss Foltz took her training in the science department under our Biology teacher Mr. Mertz. Mr. Burke, under the watchful eyes of Mr. Knoch and Mr. Epp, worked with the numerous bands, choirs, and music classes. He also dir- ected the band and choir in a few numbers in the pops concert, and he arranged for a Brass Sextet to perform at several recitals in Muncie.

JOHN David Spangler, Who me?! WITH help from his daughter, Jungle Larry ' holds up one of his reptile friends. TODD Steiner looking for Connie Benson of WMEE. SUNSHINE Express, Jungle Larry, and the WMEE-Faculty basketball game were three special events that the school and athletic boosters sponsored for the students and towns- people. Sunshine Express is a nine member Christian singing group that sings a variety of music and involves the students and teachers in their presentation. Numerous people enjoyed their program and hopefully they will be able to make a return engagement in the near future. Jungle Larry entertained the people of the area with an exciting and interesting display of his reptile collection. He had a variety of reptiles, including several snakes, tarantulas, and alligators. For the second consecutive year, the WMEE roundballers invaded Starfire country, and for the second straight year they fell to the mighty Faculty-Stars in overtime. Using superb rebounding and superior inside and outside shooting, the Faculty handed the athletes from WMEE another heartbreaking defeat. These extra activities are greatly appreciated by all people, and we would like to express our gratitude to the people who schedule h i these events. GETTING the crowd rowdy was the lead singer of Sunshine Express. MR.

For this tax- ing responsibility we will be looking for a group of people who are responsible, level- headed, enjoy having a good time, will drive the teachers crazy, and will continue to produce good athletic teams, talented musi- cians, and skilled people in the various other departments in order that people through- out the state will recognize our name as South Adams and not South Bend Adams. The burdensome duty of fulfilling these responsibilities falls upon the shoulders of the first graduating class of the new decade, the class of 80. Whereas we were the last graduating class of the 70 ' s, you will have the distinction of being the first graduating class of the 80 ' s. This means that you will have to set an example for the remaining nine graduating classes of the 80 ' s. Because of this responsibility, we, the class of 79 are challenging the class of 80 to make a good name for themselves and carry on the strong tradition of South Adams High School. i p VTMIH H Kt S 1 jA k:OUTHVI la 2 If B i |M| lA 4(ff P n Pk pyf?! - 33 1 J BUT THE BEGINNING OF A NEW DECADE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS INTER-COLLEGIATE PRESS in Shawnee Mission, Kansas, printed the REFLECTION for the third straight year. The sales representative for our school was again Mr. Frank Lee, who checked in every couple of weeks to answer questions and to give helpful pointers. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to Jim Hartman and Gino Fisher, who learned shortly after the year began how to become excellent photographers. They used their valuable free time taking pictures for us. Another big thanks goes to Karen Roop for taking her time during and after school to crop pictures. We would like to thank our advisor, Mrs. Ruth Neuenschwander, for always being there when we needed her. Above all, we would to recognize and thank Mr. Jim Hopkins for all the work he did for us. Our sports section would not have been if it had not been for him. We appreciate everything anybody did.
