FRANKLIN S. TIEDE MEMORIAL FUND A trust fund has been established at Frances Slocum Bank in memory of Frank Tiede, a 1979 Northfield graduate, by his family.

And be assured, I am with you always, to the end of time. The first persons chosen for the award are Judith L. Goff, also a Northfield 1979 alum, to complete the last of a 5 year program leading to a Bachelor Degree and RN in mis- sionary nursing at CMC School of Nursing and Baptist Bible College, Clarks Sunnit, PA.; Elizabeth (Bet- sy) Deeter, a 1981 Northfield prod- uct, who will enter her second year as a religion major at College of Woos- ter, Wooster, Ohio; and Phyllis J.

Convos Brighten the School Year! To help break up the monotony of the school year, Mr. Miller arranged convos for the student body. We were treated by two musical groups. The first group came early in the year. They were known as Harmony. The next group that came to entertain us was the Lapel Swing Choir from Anderson. They sang a great program of both new and old songs. They also sang a medley of popular and well known commercials. Juniors were treated to a program presented by the Air Force in a specialized tractor trailer. Convocations 21

NHS 20th Anniversary School started 3 weeks late the first year at Northfield, which was not completed beyond the Art room. Busses loaded and unloaded out front. There were no door knobs. Workers would come in at any time to paint or drill, but students got used to this. We found it difficult to teach without chalk boards. The library was very limited. There were 6 periods and we taught 5. School was from 8:30 to 3:25. The Northside had no blinds. We had to use day-light screens for AV. Gym classes were held outside. Sports events were played at other schools. — R. Price There was cvidcuuc ul ihc grcut support in our Northfield community when they raised enough money the first year to buy new band uniforms, which could be used in Tuxedo style for concert and overlays for the marching band. Our first perfor- mance in the new uniforms was Feb. 14, 1963 at a basketball game. On March 21 we played our first concert in new uniforms and in the new a udi- torium. We started band rehearsal in the present library area. It was fantastic when we did get into our new band practice area. — R. Trump The teaching staff consisted of 34 teachers and only one guidance direc- tor. It was the era of the crew cut for boys and also most of the men teach- ers like myself, Mr. Price, Mr. Trump and Mr. Duker who was at this time assistant Supt. of Schools. He later came to Northfield as Business De- partment Head. Activities consisted of Science fairs, record hops. Christmas and St. Patrick ' s Day dances. The band had baton twirlers and played at all home basketball games (entire band). — H. Christie
