Production Well Done On May 6, 7, and 9 the Northwest Vocal Music Depart- ment put their talents on stage as they presented the musical Funny Girl under the direction of Mrs. Lou Gilmore. Mrs. Wilma Stevens headed the make-up crew, Mr. Charles Irick conducted the Orchestra, and Mr. Ken Bassett designed the sets. Kim Gates portrayed Fanny Brice whose main goal is to become a star in the Ziegfeld Follies. On her way to becom- ing a success, she falls in love, marries, and eventually loses Nick Arnstein (Greg Mora).

Spirit Boosters Cheer Along With Students The Northwest Boosters Club certainly lived up to its name by actively supporting the students of Northwest. One of the functions of the Boosters is to raise money to supplement all school athletic programs. Some of their fund raising projects included the printing and selling of programs at all home athletic events, the sell- ing of black and gold sweaters and jackets, and the selling of raffle tickets. Boosters Club ' s enthusiasm spread throughout the entire community when they spon- sored a pep rally the night before Homecoming. The even- ing came to a close as every- one gathered around a huge bonfire to see the flaming letters NHS. The 1981-82 sports year was capped off by Boosters Club ' s annual Athletic Banquet which is held to honor all athletes involved in the Northwest sports program. John Melton of the University of Nebraska was the guest speaker. BOOSTERS CLUB SHOW THEIR SUPPORT AND SPIRIT as they cheer on the players and watch for more action. THE VIKING BANNER Is raised high at the finals of the Girls State Basketball Tour- nament as the Boosters Club yell Chick-A-Lack-A, Chick- A-Lack-A, Boom-A-Lack-A . . . MR.
