Vallyalla Staff Reflects Student Opilpioly The Valhalla Staff is comprised of students -1 ' who have completed Beginning Journalism, or who have had comparable journalism exper- f, ience. It is theirjob to report all the important activities in an objective manner, and at the -- ie same time to consider student and campus opinion. The staff prepares the newspaper for publication, which is done by the Advanced Graphic Arts class. Advisor Glenda Sweger and Editor-In-Chief Paul Purkhiser assigned stories, proofread all written material, designated page editors, and made sure work was completed on time. Instead of having permanent page editors, it was decided by the advisor and the editor that the responsibility would be rotated occasion- ally in order to provide all the staff members with a chance to design pages, paste-down and proofread stories. While reporters Sharon Cady, Kelly Colwell, Chris Dias, Paula Hors- ley, Julie Kakouris, Terri Logan, Wayne Mat- chell, Cindy Rubin, and Fred Tennison were busy writing stories and headlines, Jackie London used her artistic ability to draw car- toons for the newspaper. Ed Meek corre- sponded with other newspaper staffs as Ex- change Editor and Don Crowell handled the photographic assignments.

the Big Sister-Little Sister Picnic, freshman girls are taught the fight song and cheers by the pep unit. Girls' League officers, Melinda Berry and Karen Heinze, focus their attention on decorations for the Christmas Ball. ss. . One of the largest clubs on campus, Girls' League, was also one of the busiest. This club began its Work during the summer looking for a room for the Christmas Ball and organizing the Big Sister-Little Sister Picnic. The purpose of the picnic was to acquaint freshman girls, just entering Northview, with the campus, pep units, and Girls' League. Each pep unit did a routine or cheer and taught the little sisters the fight song and the alma mater. Patti Plummer, president, introduced the officers: vice-president Monica Nichols, secretary Me- linda Berry, and treasurer.Karen Heinze and explained the upcoming plans for the club during the school year. As soon as school started, Girls' League began having meetings once a week. Between September and December, fund-raising activities began in order to raise money for the annual Christmas Ball. They were in charge of the soc-hop, featuring the band Longshot, after the first football game of the year. In October, they sponsored the Ghoul Contest for Halloween. Each club on campus was asked to nominate one boy and girl to dress as ghouls to represent that club. Pictures were taken of the couples and posted outside the ASB office. The student body voted for favorite couples by putting money in jars marked for each couple. The winners were named ML and Ms. Ghoul and reigned over La Masque Bal. As December 16 grew closer, Girls' League was busy with prepara- tions for the first formal of the year. The theme of the Christmas Ball was Snowflakes Are Falling, Christmas is Calling. As couples en- tered the ballroom at Griswold's, they were given personalized Christmas stockings. Three-dimensional paper snowflakes dangled from the ceiling above the stage as couples danced to the music of f'Longsh0t. Besides the officers, Girls' League had two representatives from each class. The seniors were represented by Carole McQuillan and Pegi Pritchard, juniors Nancy Feilen and Linda Lackey, sophomores Melissa Klingbeil and Marylou Nichols and freshmen Judy Fenburg and Becky Hostetler. The main job of these eight girls, plus the officers, was to select the Girls of the Months, One day each month they held a meeting and chose from 30 applications, one girl who had been active here at Northview. At the next rally the junior represen- tatives announced the current Girl of the Month and gave her an engraved bracelet and flowers. At the end of the year they chose the one girl from the ten Girls of the Months that they believed had done the most for the school and honored her with the title of Girl of the Year.
