A Celebration For Skiers 1988 Winterfest queen, Sandy Lewis and her date Sean Jones, start things off by going to the kick-off party. i i l Winterfest, which is celebrated annually at the end of the season at the Wisp, was outstanding this year. Spring was in the air as the temperature hit the 70’s during the weekend of March 11-13. The skiers didn’t seem to mind the warm weather while they had a blast on the slopes. The winterfest queen, Sandy Lewis, appeared at all of the activities as a representative of Northern High School. Some of the events included in Winter- fest were the fun races, snowmobile climb and the scholastic school races. A new ad- dition to the activities was the water cross- ing in which skiers must ski across a pool of ice cold water. In the races between Northern and Southern, four Northern stu- dents received awards in their respective grade divisions for their accuracy and speed on the slope. Tracey Glotfelty, a freshman, received second place, Matt Bach raced for the eleventh grade guys and received third place, Kelli Iden, a junior, was awarded third place, while Charlotte Bowman, a junior, placed second in her division. As another year ended, skiers prepared for the ’88-’89 year.

Everyone does something besides homework. What do you do in your spare time? Outside activities differ with every person. Some people prefer to do crafts and play games at home, while others would rather be running all over the countryside, enjoying themselves while in the company of friends. Everyone has some ac- tivity they like to do. How much fun the activity is, is in the eye of the beholder. Some of the guys at Northern have become volunteer fire- men. They take hard classes that prepare them for accidents. In order for these guys to fight fires they must be 18 years old. If they are under 18, they then set up blockades, direct traffic, and help the fire fighters. Some of our volunteer firemen are Terry Bittinger, Jesse Opel, Jeff Rounds, John Vought, Kevin Wassel, and Eric Yommer. Another summer activity is skate boarding. It has become a popular sport for peo- ple who enjoy doing tricky and dangerous stunts. Our skate board fanatics include Max Da- bansky, Chad Fike, Brian Hensley, Jay Ross, and Frank Stark. No matter what it is that students enjoy, hav- ing fun is the ultimate goal. adorable dog. In Mary Thomas’s free time, she en- joys hitting the slopes and skiing in the sun.
