1980 Marks Beginning Of A New Decade For Northern; A Time For Involvement, Innovation, Initiative It wasn't long before the warnr. weather left us and a blanket of snow was on the ground. Students were donned in sweaters, boots, coats, and other warm clothing. Even though students were hard at work preparing for mid-term exams, they still found time to enjoy the change in the cold weather. Many headed for the slopes for skiing, while others found skating rinks or hills for to- bogganing was just as much fun. Still there were those who preferred keep- ing warm on cold nights. Because of the strike in the fall, Christmas vacation was cut short. Many were unable to take vacations as planned, but the eleven days gave the students and teachers a break to relax and enjoy the holidays. The winter season was also a time for clubs such as BOEC, Foreign Lan- guage, Literary, National Honor Soci- ety, Ski Club, Quill and Scroll, and Vi- kettes. Many students took part in these clubs and other activities and found it well worth their time. Also, during the snowy season, sports were played indoors. Those winter sports were boys varsity and j.v. bas- ketball, girls' varsity and j.v. basketball, boys' swimming, girls' swimming, girls' varsity and j.v. volleyball, hockey and varsity and j.v. wrestling. 5

For some seniors the winter season was their last at N.H.S. those who had enough credits and chose to graduate early, graduated in February. Though many enjoyed the cold win- ter season, most were glad when spring came with the warm sun. Students shed their sweaters and were once again out in in the warm weather. Spring sports began and again in teams were out of doors hard at work. The spring sports were boys' varsity and j.v. baseball, boys' tennis, boys' varsity and j.v. track, girls' soft- ball, and girls' track. Students worked hard during the spring season getting only Good Friday off for spring break. Because of the beautiful spring weather, students prepared several spring dances and other activities. For the remaining seniors, spring was the season they had long anticipated. A spring dinner and prom were held for seniors. Then graduation came, a truly excit- ing night for the seniors. Donned in their red robes and caps, the proud seniors walked down the aisle to receive their diplomas. It was the end of high school for them, but for many, further educa- tion was yet to come. Seniors paid their fare-wells to the school, teachers, and many friends, but they will always carry the memories of the year spent at Flint Northern High School. 7
