It ' s alive, yet peaceful and fun, with nothing artificial added. Artificial Added Opening 5 Mr. A . . . Rookie of the Year This year the senior class would again like to acknowl- edge a special faculty member. Ever since the seventh grade, there has been one person who has had the job of scheduling our sports events and seeing that we arrived without too much trouble. As we became high school students, he be- came more to us than just the athletic director. We got to know him as a teacher and friend. Many of us will never forget the driver ' s training course we took under his direc- tion. As we started playing reserve and varsity sports, this man be- came even more important. Now that we have four years of high school behind us and we step out into the world, we have memories of this man that will always stay with us. He never missed an important event and always supported every athletic event. We, the class of 1981, are proud to dedicate the 1980-81 edition of the Reflection to our dedicated athletic director, Mr. Harry Anderson. MR. Anderson with dreams of becoming Coach of the Year.

Dedications ' IjL -i lMl L LIVING IT UP, ji: Summer vacation may be vacation for some students, but for others it means getting a job, and entering the working world. Many high school students have at least one job during the summer months to make some money for them- selves. Students ' jobs range from factory work, car hopping at Tree ' s, lifeguarding at the pool, or even mowing lawns. If a student finds a job he enjoys, or even just finds a job at all, he is lucky, considering the cutbacks and unemploy- ment rate today. Besides having a job to keep them busy, more and more students are realizing that they need a job to afford some of the luxuries they have en- joyed. With rising prices of colleges, movies, gas, and other things that keep the normal teen- ager occupied, the job market is being filled with the younger generation. Although summer jobs can be very time consuming, they do have strong advantages. A job prepares students for the working world as well as teaching them to budget their money and time. By the time school rolls around in the fall, most of the students admit they had a funsummer, and many keep on working at their summer job.

The rea- son was because that day was Swap Day. Swap Day is when stu- dents and parents or friends over 21 switch places. Ever since the first Swap Day was held three years ago, stu- dents and parents have asked for it to be re- peated. They felt that the insights into the way the school is actually run, not the way the students felt it was run, were beneficial. It also creates good public re- lations awareness. Each class was run as it usually was supposed to be. The student ' s re- placement had to turn in the student ' s home- work from the day be- fore, do classwork, and take home the student ' s JULIE Lehr . ' s mother finally masters her locker combination. homework for the next day. Some parents even got yelled at for talking during classtime. Many parents had problems finding class- rooms, identifying books, sitting in the cor- rect seats, and especial- ly opening lockers. Lunchtime was also confusing because par- ents couldn ' t decide which line to eat in. But there were Student Council members on hand to help the lostT parents find their way around and help open the lockers. Afterwards, parents said that they thought that Swap Day was a very good idea and that it should be held every year, instead of every two years. Parents found out that the South Ad- ams High School is not really the prison camp that the students claim it 1 2 Swap Day 1 CELLY Wheeler and Army Telasco chow down on the chool lunch. 30ACH Clutch tries to teach he full range of motion to an imbitious-looking crowd. Swap Day 13 Far Above the Crowd The administration added an or- ganization of high recognition to the school system this year. The National Honor Society began last fall with the first induction of members in December. To become a member of this elite group, a student must meet requirements agreed upon by a council of teachers. Grades are the utmost priority in choosing members. After this is met, the student must be a good citizen and submit a list of activities both in and out of school. As soon as all the requirements are met, all teachers review all the informa- tion concerning the student and make the final decision. If the stu- dent had all the necessary funda- mental, he or she was inducted at the nest ceremony. At the close of the year another ceremony was held at which sev- eral more seniors as well as ju- niors were inducted. SENIOR members of the National Honor Soci- ety.

This week was filled with many festivities to make this year ' s Homecoming a big success. ' ' The Black Attack Strikes Back was the Homecoming theme. It was named after the football defense which is called the black attack defense. The Homecoming queen can- didates were chosen the week before the big event. The court consisted of six senior girls, In- grid Biberstein, Linda Dubach, Merylee Graber, Janet Liechty, Jill Sprunger, and Joni Sprunger. The girls were intro- duced, along with their escorts at the half-time of the South Adams-Dekalb football game. The new queen, Linda Dubach, was also announced at this time. The activities began Monday with mail day. Tuesday was shirt sign day, Wednesday was jersey day, Thursday was no sweat day, Friday was Black Attack day when everyone was to wear black. The football cheerleaders sponsored these days. Thursday after school hall decorations began. Each class was assigned a certain hall to decorate. Students were to decorate the way they thought the theme could best be por- trayed. The results of the con- test were announced at half- time also. The Seniors were awarded 1st, Sophomores got 2nd, the Juniors 3rd, Freshman 4th, and the eighth grade re- ceived 5th place.

It was a cold rainy night, but many dedicated fans showed up to cheer the team on. The Cheerleaders worked hard to make this rally successful. Cheers, band music, and talks from the football players helped to make up the evening. Coach Bridge ended the evening with an encouraging word to the football team. The FFA sponsored the annu- al chicken BBQ after school on Friday, with many people com- ing out for it. Then the time came for the football game. Al- though the weather was far from perfect, many fans showed up to cheer for the team in their game against the Dekalb Barons. The Barons went home with a 22-0 victory. After the game an open dance was held. Shock was the featured band for the dance which proved to be successful. At 11:00 p.m. the dance was over, and so was the first successful Homecoming of the 80 ' s. A member of the band SHOCK warms before the Homecoming dance.

Homecoming 1 9 Ye Olde Madrigal Christmas Feaste The music department pre- sented a madrigal Christmas dinner for the first time in the history of our school. There had been talk in previous years, but this time the plans materialized. The drama club, under the di- rection of Mrs. Knoch, helped in this big undertaking. Music was presented to the nearly 100 guests by the chamber choir and a small stringed ensemble. The meal consisted of many 15th century items, such as Wassayl, Flaming Pommed Poddying, and Candyde Apple Rynges. THOROUGHLY enjoying ' themselves, Jill and Tami find something amusing about the dinner.

Madrigal Dinner 2 I Carousel — A Three Night Success Many hours of long, tedious work went into the music department ' s production of Rodgers and Hammerstein ' s musical Carousel. The cast un- der the guidance of Mrs. Doris Knoch, gave up much of their free time, including most of spring vacation, to perfect their lines and stage direc- tions. The story line of the musical was both tragic and happy. Billy Bigelow, the barker for Mrs. Mullin ' s carousel, was a boisterous and arrogant male. Julie Jordan and Carrie Pipperidge, were two innocent, small town girls who are competely taken in by Billy ' s sweet talk. Billy notices Julie out of all the girls who come to the carousel, falls in love with her, and they marry. After the wedding, Billy takes up with the town criminal. Jigger Craigin. Jigger does nothing for Billy but lead him to his eventual death. While all this is taking place, Carrie marries her darling Mr. Snow, and they go off and have nine children. Billy needs money when he finds out he is to be- come a father. He and Jigger come up with a plan to steal money, but in the process Billy gets caught, and kills himself. Almost immediate Billy is taken to Heaven, but is given another chance to come back to earth and do something good for someone. He returns on his daughter ' s gradu- ation day and sets things straight with Julie and their daughter.

Carnival 25 Pops — An Array of Musical Talent May 16 was the night set aside by the music department for its annual Pops Concert. Preparations for this event start- ed weeks before the big night. Committees made up of parents were in charge of seating, deco- rations, and food. Servers for the evening were couples made up of seventh graders with a few sixth grade students help- ing out. For nearly three hours the au- dience sat captivated by the tal- ent displayed by the high school students. Ranging from vocal and instrumental solos to large choirs and bands, the hours of practice and hard work were evident. During intermission, the audi- ence browsed through the halls admiring the art work of their children and others. Many of the art students had more than one project on display plus a few articles by the shop stu- dents. Upon returning after the in- termission, the awards were presented. The Arion was awarded to Mike Stauffer, the Choral to Janet Liechty, the Or- chestra to Steve Bauman, the John Philip Sousa to Jon Knoch, the Frederick Chopin to Cathy Lunn, and the Accompnaist to Tom Lichtenberger. All of these people are to be commended for excellent performances in their respective areas.

The day was spent in pre- paring for the big night ahead of them, the Prom. When the couple arrived at the school, they got in line to have their pictures taken by Brad Affolder of Affolder Photography. Then the job of finding the right table began. Once the table was found, the couples sat around waiting for the meal that was catered by Poplar Restaurant. Following the meal, the group moved into the auditorium for the movie, The In-laws. Upon conclusion of the movie, the couples moved once again into the cafeteria area, which had been cleaned up by the French I class, and waited for the dance. Ice Age, a band out of Indianapolis, was the featured group. At the same time, Pete Carlson, a Christian contempo- rary singer gave a concert at the First Missionary Church. The rest of the evening was up to the couples; some called it a night, while other went to var- ious parties at friends ' homes. For everyone, it was a night to be remembered, THANKS JU- NIORS! a big smile on her face, Janet slovr nces with Roger during one of the slower ngs that the band played. Graduation: and It Took Thirteen Years! This year ' s graduation cere- mony was no different than any other graduation ceremony. There was the usual procession- al of Pomp and Circum- stance, the normal number of camera flashes and smiles, and the traditional crying in the commons after the ceremony was ever. The speeches given by class president and valedictorian Greg Bich brought smiles to many faces as he spoke of the football game with that team five miles north. Greg also pointed out the bad times such as the coal strike and the green bananas. Remembering these MEMBERS of the senior choir sing for the last time at their commencement. WITH a look of pride, Bill and Lisa walk out together after the ceremony. particular occasions brought laughter to the graduates. Along with the reminscing, there was a growing fear of the world that lay just outside the walls of the school that had been their home for the past four years. Seth Scholer, Stu- dent Council president, spoke of reaching for goals, saying the sky is the limit. With the ceremony almost over, the class moved their tas- sels, symbolizing their gradu- ation. While walking out, the class had a feeling of pride but also began to realize that this would be the last time they would be together as a class. Tears flowed freely as friend hugged friends promising t( keep in touch. An aura of adulthood sur rounded the senior class Would they be able to stanc alone and face the challenge that faced them? Definitaly, foi in the past hour the class o 1981 had given up their rolei of seniors and accepted the re sponsibility of adults.

Beginning in late June, the band was at the school every morning and evening for one long week of practices. In addition to their own camp, the drum majors, drummers, and auxil- iary corps went to Ev- ansville for the Fred J. Miller band camp. Ob- viously the efforts of each member paid off, as the band did well in various contests. The band traveled to the Delaware Lions band competition, where they placed in the top ten. The Bluffton Street Fair proved to be a success also, as the band brought home the third place trophy. At the end of the summer, the entire band went to Indianapolis to compete at the state level in the State Fair competition, where they placed in the top twenty-five. Under the supervi- sion of Mr. Knoch, the drum majors Alan Mast and Jerroll Lehman led the band through near- ly twenty parades, both in town and out of town. The band also performed at half-time for all of the home football games. Over all, Mr. Knoch felt the band had a very good year, and was proud of taking them to State competition.

Marching Band 35 With the Beat For approximately fifty students, the day began at 7 a.m. on Thursday mornings during the bas- ketball season. These ambitious students all be- longed to the pep band. Also practicing during second period on Fridays, the pep band worked diligently in hopes that they would do their part in helping to arouse the spirits of the fans and the players. The band succeeded in their goals, as many good comments were heard concerning their performances throughout the season. The band also provided the music for the pom routines during the half time shows. Made up of students in every grade, the band had much talent. Only nine of the approximate fif- ty members were seniors and their talent and lead- ership will be missed next year. BATON in hand, the four-star general keeps his troop at the right tempo.

The corps was made up of eight flags, one rifle, and two twirlers. Try-outs for the corps were held last spring. After making the squads, the girls spent much of their summer attending band camps. In June, the corps went to Evansville College for a week long camp. They also attended a camp held by Mr. Knoch, for one week, usually from seven to ten in the morning. New uniforms and flags added a bit of color to the corps. The outfits were made up of black shirts and shorts with a rainbow sash. The flags were sil- ver with a rainbow going from one comer to the other. CONCENTRATING on her next move is Rhina Neuenschwander.

They Know the ' ' Score Once again Mr. Knoch was working with the Symphonic Band; and with the assistance of Dr. Freeman Burkhalter, he also directed the Orchestra. The Symphonic Band met ev- ery day during fifth period. They practiced hard for the school concerts that they par- ticipated in, and also the NISBOVA contest. The band placed well, bringing home a first place rating. The Orchestra wasn ' t lucky enough to have a class period in which they could meet. Their regular practice time was dur- ing Activity period each day. This caused some problems with many of its members hav- ing to attend other meetings called during the same period. The Orchestra also performed at all the school concerts, as well as traveling to the NISBOVA conteset in which they also received a first place.

The A Cappella choir was made up of students from ♦he top three grades. The choir as a whole worked diligently on songs for various concerts and contests. At approximately 11:35, twen- ty-eight students were dismissed to eat lunch, and return at 11:57V2. These selected few were members of chamber choir, which is chosen from the Juniors and Seniors in the A Cappella choir. The Chamber choir gave many religious con- certs throughout the year as well as singing for the Berne and Geneva senior citizens at their monthly meals. The cham- ber choir will graduate fifteen seniors, which will leave many holes to be filled.

Putting on an Act One by one, things began to fall into place. Item after item was brought in and put to its rightful use. The hours grew longer and the schedule more hectic. Outfits were tried on, but discarded because they were not of the right time peri- od. As November 17 and 18 drew nearer, the finishing touches were put on. When the curtains parted at 7:30, the cast of I Remember Mama were prepared to give the show their best shot. . .Line upon line was said as each cue was finished. For nearly two and one half hours, the audience felt the happy times as well as the sad time experienced by the Han- son family. Boasting a large cast, the dra- ma club again successfully pre- sented a fall production. Under the direction of Mrs. Knoch, ev- eryone involved became close- knit as they worked toward the same goal. The play offered the opportunity for many of the un- der classmen to have actual speaking parts. Hopefully as the years go on, these members can use their experience to keep the major productions up to the ex- pectations of the audience. For the seven senior members of drama club, this was their last performance in drama club. As they give up their postion in the club, the younger members will continue to strive to keep the reputation on of honor and respect.

At Homecoming, they sld their annual chicken irbeque supper. New members jre initiated with the traditional freen-hand ceremony, and Tracy alloway was named the FFA eetheart. Dugan Fry, a WOWO Radio per- tiality, interviewed senior mem- rs, Jeff Gaskill, John Fox, and oy Lehman about their thoughts on FFA week. John Fox was given a Hoosier Farmer degree.

The season started out with new rules and regulations for the Pep Club, but through several meetings, all of the rules and restrictionas were dropped. Now anyone would be able to leave when they wanted to. When the rules were finally dropped, the Pep Club was open to any High School stu- dent that wanted to sit there. However, there wasn ' t much of a difference in the behavior of the students. Everyone acted the same as they did before but were glad for the freedom. Most everyone cooperated when the cheerleaders asked if the stu- dents would wear something gold, black, or white. This year the boys Pep Block was extremely rowdy! Once they would get excited, there was not much you could do to control them, (except maybe set them in the upper arena for the Sectional . . . right, boys?) At the Girls Regional and Section- al, the pep and spirit shown for the team was outstanding! It will be great if that much spirit will be shown in the years to come.

Mini-footballs, sponsored by Miz Lehman, were thrown out at all the home games. The cheerleaders also made signs to put in front of the players ' houses for Homecoming. A memorable moment for these four girls was winning the Bellmont game and eating with both teams at a meal given by the Braves ' parents. Four girls made up the re- serve squad. They helped with pep sessions and showed a lot of spirit in supporting the j.v. team. A highlight for the girls was cheering for the girls ' bas- ketball team at both the section- al and regional. The varsity basketball cheerleaders were also very ac- tive in helping to arouse sp for their team.

In July, all the girls attended a four day NCA clinic at Ball State University, where they learned many new routines and brought home various first place ribbons and a spirit stick. The girls, in their short gold and white uniforms, with the gold and black poms, added pep and variety to the half times at the home basketball games. Routines were done to such well known songs as Hey, Look Me Over, A Cho- rus Line, and The Pink Pan- ther. Only three of the girls were seniors. The others will be back next year without a doubt. THREE members of the poin squad listen intently as they learn a new? routine. THE squad director, Mrs. Susie Fuelling sits in on a practice with her tvro children.

What ' s News, Anyhow? The yearbook and newspaper staffs kept very busy this year with various items. A major pro- ject of the class was a news broadcast which they produced weekly. Each student was re- sponsible some time during the school year for reading the news onto a tape which was sent to WADM to be aired on Thiirsday mornings. Besides making sure the tape was done correctly, the class worked on assigned articles for the newspaper. Every two weeks the news articles which seemed to be of the most community in- terest were taken to the Tri- Weekly, where they appeared, along with some pictures of school life, as the Tri-Weekly ' s edition of the Southern Star. The routine work of getting out a bi-weekly edition of the school newspaper and working on the yearbook filled the other hours of time spent in the mass communi- cations class.

He was assisted by Jay Baumgartner as vice-president, and Cathy Lunn, secretary-treasurer. A number of school dances were held through- out the year using both live bands and records with Scott Stuckey as disc jockey. A large num- ber of students attended and enjoyed these dances. The Student Council was also responsible for scheduling a number of convocations to break the monotony of the school program. A Bike-a-thon for multiple sclerosis was held in the fall and sponsored by the Student Council. Late in the spring, an exchange of Student Council members took place between our school and Bellmont, as senior members attended each other ' s classes for an afternoon.

J 0 Academics 57 Lasting Values Two vocational areas such as Industrial Arts and Home Economics have a lot of courses to choose from which deal with the every day as- pects of life. Fundamentals taught in these classes will be used in the future by the students because they will be certain to meet these prob- lems after leaving high school. An Industrial Art major would learn the basics about drafting, small engines, woods, welding, plastics, and electronics which often allow them to acquire a sufficient amount of knowledge and desire in a particular field as their career. The Home Economic Mini Foods Clothing can introduce one to the areas of basic food preparation and sewing of clothing. The Mar- ri age and Family Living class would help stu- dents with their future wedding plans, going through the ceremony, and starting a married life by planning a budget. After marriage there is usually a child to think about; so through the Child Development class, the childraising years would be less difficult. A shop student works hard to finish his project. ERIC Hancock dresses in an apron to keep his clothes clean while he works. IN a daze, Joni Sprunger thinks about other things besides class. 58 Home Economics LISA Owens would rather look at the camera than concentrate on her seiwing. Indiistrial Art 59 We ' re Still Playing House Family Living class is offered to Seniors to help prepare them for the future. The students found out the expenses of preparing and having a wed- ding. They priced and had everything planned out and then went through the actions of a wedding ceremony in class. The students had a fake wedding where Dawn Pennington and Alan Schlagenhauf were married. They had pretend bridesmaids and preacher, and they also had a real cake. Having the wedding was a fun and beneficial project. They also went on and found out the expenses of married life. The plans and expenses for a child and a funeral were also carried out. In general, this class taught the students how to plan and set a budget for their future years. A lot of the students learned that life after graduation is a bigger re- sponsibility than what they thought. But, they also learned that it can be fun and worthwhile to have a family.

Marriage and Family 6 1 The Basic Arts The teacher of the Art Department, Mr. Schwartz and Mrs. Johnson, do their job to teach the students the techniques of art, photography, ceramics, sculpturing, drawing, and painting. Art is the class where the students can express their creativity and show their talent. The results of their creativity are displayed at the Pops Con- cert to show the public what talented artists there are in our school. Some of the other talented people of the school are the musicians, Mr. Epp, Mr. Knoch, and Ka- ren Moser, (who was replaced for the last five months of the year by Pam McNeal), who teach the classes in the music department. The fundamentals taught in these class are learning notes, time signatures, history, and theory of mu- sic. The results of their musical talents are also presented to the public at the Pops Concert, the Musical, and other related activities.

Learning the Basics The math and science departments are often the most active in the school. A variety of courses are offered to students in these two aca- demic areas. Eighth grade and freshman science courses are required, but after this, the student is free to choose his or her science classes. Biology I is of- fered to sophomores. Following this, there are Chemistry I and II for the more scientifically-in- clined student. Occasionally a Biology II course is given. Anyone going into a mathematical field is giv- en a wide variety of class choices. Algebra I and II teach a student how to use the foil method to get his answers. Geometry gives one the mea- sures of angles A and B, and then asks you to prove that angle C is congruent. As if this isn ' t enough. Advanced Math and physics are also part of the math curriculum. Larry Sheets is the long-time head of the sci- ence department, and Larry Leistner heads the math department. Both of them have some very able teachers in their departments, accounting for the immense popularity of the math and sci- ence classes. Science 6 English and Other Foreign Languages As each school in the United States has an English depart- ment, ours is no different. The English language is supposedly the hardest to learn, and of course, many students will agree. The English department is well equipped, with many ca- pable teachers. Under the de- partment head, Mrs. Minch, the English teachers are, Mrs. Myers, Miss Andrews, Mr. Tatman, Mrs. Neuenschwander, and Mrs. Cook. Each of these teach a full day of English courses with a few taking on a foreign language class as well. French, Latin, and Spanish are the three fore ign language courses offered. The students that enroll in these particular nounce, and speak the lan- guage. French is taught by Mrs. Neuenschwander, Latin by Mrs. Myers, and Spanish by Miss Andrews. In the past few years, Mrs. Neuenschwander has taken a group of students over to France for a sight-seeing tour of the country that they studied about.

Typing I and Advanced Typing were taught by Mrs. Weimer and Mr. Foreman. Accounting I and II were under the supervision of Mrs. Rhoades. Mr. Foreman also had a General Business class. The Accounting students worked hard on their packets, which are an important part of the class. Each packet required many hours of work, and a great sense of relief was felt when the last double line on the post-clos- ing trial balance was drawn!! The typing courses gave stu- dents the opportunity to do warm-ups and the dreaded timed writings. The class soon learned to hunt and peck as they began to learn the positions of the let- ters and numbers. NO Scott, the IRS won ' t let you!!

Tjrping 69 The History of Physical Education The Social Studies department offered a variety of classes to stu- dents. Eighth graders and juniors were required to take courses concerning U.S. history. As a senior, students were to take one semester of Government, and the other semester was open for either Economics or Contemporary Is- sues. The phys. ed. classes again fin- ished another year of learning the basics. The classes received the fundamentals in various sports, in- cluding golf, tennis, and basket- ball. Along with teaching gym classes. Miss Jones organized many intramural sports activities for the entire school. Chess, volleyball, badminton, and a checkers tourney were a few of the areas of competition. Mr. Clutch was in charge of the dreaded Advanced P.E. class. Al- though many horror stories spread about this class, the students came out of it a bit more informed about their bodies and how to take care of them.

This was our first year for orga- nized sports, and a 4-1 season losing only to West Jay. Our first year at the high school brought new exper- ience s. The coal strike taught us to appreciate the warmer things of life. Three years later as Juniors we worked hard throughout the year to have a successful prom for the Seniors. After this, the class of ' 81 skated in to be the eldest. As Seniors we applied to col- leges and waited for the big day of graduation.

In athletics, many of the kids in this class received letters as Sophomores, and some of them even received more than one. A lot of the varsity sports were load- ed with Juniors who often helped the various teams excel. T he Junior year is filled with days for college visitations and time to get out of class to listen to college representatives brag about their respective institutions of higher learning. The Juniors had many activities throughout the year. One was preparing for the prom. Their fa- vorite activity seemed to be paint- ing the barn.

No longer do they have to be driven around by their parents or older brothers and sisters. This year ' s sophomores placed second in the hall decorating con- test during homecoming week. They spent a lot of time after school hours working on their hall. The prize received for their efforts will be used to benefit their class. This was the first year for sopho- mores to receive a varsity letter that counts towards earning a blanket in their senior year.

Sophomores 95 Freshmen, Just Movin ' Even though the freshman are often consid- ered the bottom of the totum pole they are full of bubbling enthusiam. The freshman are filled with this enthusiam because it is the start of their high school career. Since they are able to try their talents in var- ious extracurricular activities, they face the prob- lems of initation. Many underclassmen must go through this process simply because it is a tradi- tion. Because most freshman are not old enough to drive, they must scrounge a ride to various activities from older friends or their parents. They can not date yet so many have to settle for being with their steady at school, extra- curricular activities, or parties. At this age, students are just beginning to find out what the grown-up world is all about; and given enough time, they will experience the bet- ter things in life.

The under- lassmen gained experience as they tlayed in many games. Senior Jeff aaskill had a record-breaking per- Drmance when he broke the all- ime record for tackles by South Ad- ms football player with 78 tackles, ' he old record was set by the late ' om Liechty in 1978 and equaled ly George Cincotta last year. The team started out with many Lew people both on offense and de- Bnse. With only ten seniors with ,ny kind of experience, the team was not given much of a chance to do very well in their respective con- ference. The team started out with a close loss to defending conference co-champs, Columbia City and then ran off a streak of three consecutive victories. Their success was halted after the first four games to end the season on a losing note. It also marked the end of an era in South Adams sports history as they con- cluded play in the Northeastern In- diana Athletic Conference. The team will play an independent schedule in the following years. MR.

There were Iso four seniors, one mior, and three soph- mores who were on le team last year. At the end of the season, the girls voted Linda Meyer as the most improved swim- mer. Janet Van Emon was voted the most valuable swimmer along with outstanding performance throughout the year. The girls placed sixth out of twelve teams at the Sectional. Janet Van Emon was the only member to ad- vance to State, where she placed 37th in the 50 yard Freestyle. Four new pool records were set this year: the 200 yd.

With six returning lettermen, the coaches, Karen Dunn and Pat Isch, had a lot of experience and talent to work with. The co-captains, Senior Becky Dubach and Junior Stacy Hartman, led the varsity team through a tough season in which they played many strong opponents from the NEIAC conference. The re- serve team did not have a winning season as they only won one of their thirteen matches, but there was much improvement in their playing. Their experience and determination will be helpful in years to come as they move up to varsity. At the sectional, in which the var- sity team drew Bellmont, it was the same story. The Squaws went on the war path as they scalped the Sta rs, 15-4 15-4. Upon reaching the end of the season, it was learned that ju- nior co-captain, Stacy Hartman, was named first team all-conference. Al- though the teams closed their sea- son on a losing note, they will be looking forward to more successful seasons in years to come.

Tennis 129 Off the Backboards The Starfire basket- ball team this year started off pretty well. The first five games were well remembered, but as the season pro- gressed, disappointing things happened. The Starfires ended their season at five victories and fourteen losses. The team will lose the help of two seniors next year, Alan Schlagenhauf and Vaughn Nussbaum. With the calibre of the upcoming sophomores, the team has high hopes for the next few years. The only confer- ence recognition given to a Starfire player, was Alan being named to Honorable Mention of the NEIAC. Though the record shows a disappointing season, the team mem- bers were well spirited and gave each game their best shot. The cagers were known throughout the confer- ence for their stall tac- tics. They attempted to try and slow down the other teams. Sometimes their attempt succeed- ed, but the tougher teams in the confer- ence were harder to slow down. The boy ' s pep club was another item of re- nown in the confer- ence, putting forth a tremendous effort. The Starfires entered sectional play against Southern Wells. The team suffered a disap- pointing loss to the eventual runners up, by a slim margin.

A promising wrestler was a sophomore by the name of Dean Branstetter. Dean had a 21-3 win-loss record for the season. He also took first at sectional and second at regional. He then traveled on to semi-state and was de- feated by the semi-state champion of his weight class.

Three of the team members received conference recognition. Stacy Hartman and Lin- da Meyer, both juniors, were named to the first team All-Conference. Senior Linda Dubach was given honorable mention. Stacy Hartman was also given honor- able mention to the All- Area team. This team is chosen by the Journal Gazette from all the teams in its circulation area.

The girls, coached by Karen Crider, spent a lot of time after school hours practicing and perfecting their routines. Being a gymnast means putting one ' s best into every motion. It calls for strength, coordination, grace, and lots of talent, which all of these girls have. It results in a developed gracefulness which comes with no other sports. Their season ended in March with their sec- tional. Although the girls came out with a team record of 3-8, they had good individual records. Two of the gymnasts placed in the Conference meet.

For le fourth straight year, Linda won the lectional hurdle title, ending her high chool career on a winning note. The nly one of the three to adavnce to State ompetition was shot putter Stacy Hartman. Stacy placed eighth out of twenty girls in Indianapolis, moving up five from last year. With a year of prac- tices ahead of her, hopefully Stacy will continue to improve and move even far- ther next year. Along with competing at the Sectional, the girls also ran at the South Adams Relays, which included many of the sur- rounding teams. After some confusing times were straightened out, the team was awarded second place, finishing be- hind the Heritage Patriots.

The team was made up of fourteen members, three of which were seniors. The team may not have won any of their meets, but they each had fun working as a team. The three seniors on the team were Steve Bauman, who ran distance for the boys; Dick Laux and Anthony Schwartz both ran sprints and were mem- bers of relay teams. Steve Bauman was the only track member that saw sectional ac- tion, where he placed fifth. This was the conclusion of Steve ' s career of running for Sout h Ad- ams, and he will be sorely missed by the track team next year. Ten of the fourteen boys let- tered this year. They were Karl Knarr, Trent Lehman, Mark Hirschy, Clint Mircale, Jon Manifold, Carey Moser, and Steve Amstutz, who was the manager. Each of these seven boys were first year recipiants.

Defense was a big factor in the success of the team as well as some excellent pitching. Jim Geeslin, Vaughn Nussbaum, Alan Schlagenhauf, and Dave Neuenschwander are to be com- mended for their individual performances. Nussbaum estab- lished a school record by pitch- ing more than 30 consecutive innings of scoreless baseball. The team ended its regular season second in the NEIAC conference, and Jeff Rich was named to the all-conference first team.

Tim Noll, Steve Koehler, Kyle Velasco, senior members, Mark Morgan, and Louis Schmidt rounded out the nine-member team coached by Mr. Hoopingarner. The golfers did very will in their important meets.

TWO of the head start students play during their break from Tffork. The Kindergarten classes this year might have been small, but they were also mighty. At the beginning of the year they didn ' t know what to expect or how they would fit into the school sys- tem. As the year went on, the students learned what they could do and what they were not al- lowed to do. As the kindergarteners move on to the first grade, they will meet the students they don ' t know that were in the other kindergarten class. I 35 Years of Dedicated Teaching For the last time in her life, Mrs. Eloise Leistner had a new bunch of first graders to teache this year, the 1980-81 school year marked the final chapter in her teaching career. Many of the high school stu- dents now remember their first grade days and hav- ing Mrs. Leistner. Mrs. Leistner joined the Berne Elementary staff in the year 1960. Ever since that time she has taught the first grade, shaping the minds of many children. After twenty-one years of having first grade pupils, Mrs. Leistner retired. Although she will not be busy teaching at school, she plans on teaching Sunday school at church and keeping busy with her hobbies. Her hobbies include reading, cooking, memorizing Scripture, and caring for plants. She also enjoys walking, so if you should ever pass her on the street, tell her just how much she meant to you as a first grade teacher. DECEMBER 25, 1942 was the wedding date of EloUe Hus. and Forrest Leistner. A family picture taken in 1951 shows Mr. and Mrs. Leistni vrith their children, Larry, Linda, and Rhoda. AT the age of one, Mrs. Leistner already had a studious lool BEFORE her final day, Mrs. Leistner poses in the teachers ' room for one last picture. 172 Mrs. Leistner Going Back to Elementary [ERYLEE Graber counts her students while helping out Mrs. lueckiger. N a bright (and muddy) spring morning, the entire group of cadet tachers pose outside for a group picture. For a few of the juniors and seniors, one pe- riod a day was devoted to an elementary class. These students were cadet teachers at the ele- mentary schools. Many of the students involved in the pro- gram plan to go into teaching as a profession, while others just enjoyed working with chil- dren. The duties a cadet teacher varied de- pending on the teacher they were helping. For some, cadet teaching was grading papers and giving book talks. To others, it was making bulletin boards, but either way, each of the students had a good time learning and help- ing.

the graffiti side of the senior barn. HOPING some knowledge will rub off on her, Teresa sits by honor student, Steve Bauman. A warm spring afternoon finds Mike Dull and Coach Stahly out hitting baseballs. The last day of school came too quickly for many students, but for others, it was a long- awaited event. As each of us looks back over the past year, there are many moments that will be remembered for a long time. Everyone has personal events he will remember, but as an entire school, we all have some memories that affected all of us. Who can forget that fall evening when we were beaten in football by that team five miles north? How about the pep club inci- dent — remember how the boys were made to sit upstairs at Sectional because of their rowdi- ness? Two very important occasions came with the winter sports season when the girls ' basket- ball team and the boys ' swimteam brought Sectional Championships home. After the school term was over, there was still an amount of pride in the school. The baseball team saw to that by winning the Bellmont baseball Sec- tional. r — - ' H -A ' lA f - (VI All 4 - Jf With Nothing 222 Closing eiving the t«am trophy, Vlcki l«t« out th« •motion THE seniors had high hope for grodixation day alter gtrtting their caps and gowns. The athletic department wasn ' t the only busy part of the school. What about the Drama Club ' s fall production If I Remember Mama? Many of the people involved will have memo- of long and hard practices, but also the fun and sense of accomplishment that went along with it. The spring musical Carousel was another big project and success. For three straight nights, excellent audiences filled the auditorium to watch many of our fellowclass mates do their stuff.
