orthwe t EXPRESSzon The definition of a journalist is an editor of, or writer for, a newspaper. This technical def- inition doesn't tell the whole story. A journalist is one who has the dedication and ambition to attain perfection. They must be willing to accept assignments they don't want, and still do a good job. They must be willing to devote their time to deadlines and other events. It is a chal- lenge few people are willing to acceptg however, there are twenty people who have ac- knowledged and accepted this challenge. They are the mem- bers of the Express Staff. The members of the Express produced eight issues of the paper, including the renowned Senior Issue. They worked many long hours after school in order to ensure that the student body received their issues on time. The dedication and stamina required to operate an organization like the Express is unbelievable. The Express staff however, was able to rise up and meet this challenge and produce a newspaper that could be en- joyed by all.

TWO H012 TO Handle A pair of organizations here at Northwest have excelled in promiting school and com- munity service, with such un- surpassed energy that they are truly an inspiration. The gen- uine concern felt by the Future Homemakers of America and Civinettes kept members con- stantly on the move improving our surroundings. While talented in the culinary arts, FHA has an unlimited ca- pacity beyond the kitchen 's per- imeter. Monthly meetings were often held at local restaurants. After dinner, club officers led discussions on issues of particu- lar concern to teenagers, with topics such as drug abuse and teen suicide. I n addition to their regular menu plans, the group baked and sold cakes during the Yuletide season for faculty members. The revenue amounts indicated what a huge success this fundraising project was and consequently their good fortune was shared with others. The FHA also participated in White Christmas, sponsoring a five member family with gifts of food, clothing and toys. Under the guidance of new adviser, Ms. Heise, the FHA ex- perienced an active and reward- ing year. Ms. Heise, who pre- viously taught at Western Guil- ford, was a welcome asset to the Northwest faculty. School and community ser- vice were primary con- siderations for a group of young ladies known as the Civinettes. Renowned for their involvement and the leadership of club adviser, Ms. Fulp, students seeking acceptance must meet certain criteria. For the dura- tion of Spirit Week, Civinette hopefuls were required to dress in the corresponding attire. Once a member, the extra- curricular activities abounded. Various projects for MDA, March of Dimes and Multiple Sclerosis were scheduled. Less fortunate residents of the com- munity, such as the elderly in Countryside Manor Nursing Home and needy families were given support through visits and donations. Whether performing volunteer work at the Sum- merfield Elementary Fall Fes- tival or sponsoring our very own Powder Puff football game, Civinettes showed 100'Za dedica- tion. Beside the aforementioned accomplishments, members of both clubs expanded their inter- ests while simultaneously learn- ing more about themselves in the process. Numerous pro- jects, coupled with positive attitudes made these groups two hot to handle. i , ,,,,, ..,,,,.,,.
