On Thursday and Friday the seniors t ool over the responsibihties of teaching all 6th and 7th period classes. On Friday afternoon alarm clocks placed strate- gically around in the halls, summoned the student body to the football field. There the senior girls played the senior boys in a game of touch football. Dallas Baer, J. P. Mattern, Gary Dillard, and Bruce Tonovitz dressed up and cheered the teams on. After the game, the Jr. Varsity and Varsity cheerleaders led the school in an hour-long pep session. Queen candidates were nominated the week before homecoming: Freshman candidate was Cindy Cleaveland; Sophomore, Karen Huffman; Junior candidate, Rhonda Cunningliam; and senior, Lola Keffaber. Throughout the week the classes campaigned vigorously for each of their respective candidates. The classes also carried on the tradition of decorating floats. The freshmen followed a Hawaiian theme, the sophomores titled theirs This Mod, Mod World , the juniors built a canopy with shrubs and greenery surround- ing their candidate, and the seniors constructed a garden scene with their candidate seated on a love seat in front of a wishing well. The conclusion to this busy week came on Friday night when the Norsemen met the Wliite ' s Warriors. In a gala half-time show, junior candidate, Rhonda Cunningham was crowned 1968 Homecoming Queen, and the juniors were recognized for liaving the best float. The Homecoming Dance, sponsored by the Student Council, was held on Saturday night, from 8 to 11:30. December ' s Children played and around 150 people attended. Rhonda Cunningham Even the faculty gets in on the Homecoming activities as they march across the football field prior to the Senior game.

Fall Production: The Curious Savage John Patrick in his forward to The Curious Savage says tliat a play comes to life only when the reader or actor is in sympathy with the playwright ' s intentions. The wrong interpretation of a play distorts its meaning. Over emphasis where none was intended destroys the delicate balance of values and the play then becomes either point- less or in bad taste. The actors portraying the residents of ' The Cloisters, Tara Bidwell, Cam Huffman, Beth Hartong, Jim Horner, Pia Sondergaard, and Debbie Foster, played each charac- ter with warmth and dignity so tliat the audience was able to experience each cliaracter ' s individual apprehensions and ultimate joy. So beautifully was this done that the viewer was soon unable to discern whether in reality the whole outside world wasn ' t crazy and only here in this haven did mean- ing exist. The Link with the outside world, so successfully portrayed by Debra Bozarth, Steve Flohr, and Dan Gid- dens, helped to establish even more vividly the contrast of charaaers while serving as a bridge for understanding were the doctor and nurse-Gary Dillard and Karen Pansier. In truth each did successfully carry out Patrick ' s inten- tions to provide an evening of thought -provoking drama which left many with the feeling that hfe with its com- plexities can be coped with. Mrs. Paddy (Debbie Foster) isn ' t about to say anything to Titus (Dan Giddens) or Dr. Emmett (Gary Dillard) -except the things she hates, of course! Juniors Use Fountain For Prom Center Although we didn ' t have a lot of time for decorating the gym this year, the class worked together as a whole team and came up with a winning masterpiece for the seniors to behold. One distressing fact was that we were nearly finished with our prom decorations when all of a sudden the rain started pouring one evening, and the next day the gym floor had already begun to absorb water and bubble. We had to change our plans! Panic was not the answer. Using our heads, we came up with an idea which added to our theme even more than our original plans. Avacado and goldenrod streamers formed an aisle that lead all entrants across a flagstone bridge and into the ballroom that might have been one of the ancient past. Prior to the prom, juniors and seniors enjoyed a dinner menu of juice, steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, sal- ad, rolls, butter, sherbert, and iced tea or coffee. Qipping the streamers firmly to the wire is Peggy Stowe. fciwaa ' « ' Look at the busy girls folding napkins for the banquet dinner. Roberta Winters, Jane Winterrowd, and Patsy Gray certainly are concentrating. The center of attraction on the gym floor sunounded four shale paths leading to a three tier fountain. Kathy Sausaman and Darl Hall place the final touches to the center. Carol Graft and Glen- da Chain hand avoca- do and goldenrod streamers atong the cafeteria walls. The Howard Amell Combo Plays To Juniors, seniors, and guests enjoy an evening of dancing to The Howard Amell Combo. 1 Another couple, Craig Pankop and his lovely date, cross the flagstone bridge into an i evening of enchantment. Seniors, Beth Hartong and Alice Durnbaugh, and guests cross the bridge to Camelot. A chaiming hostess. Kaye Pankop, serves punch to all attendants. 20 Theme Of Camelot On May 10, 1969 Camelot served as the theme for the 1969 Junior-Se- nior Prom on May 3. Couples entered the gym through a simulated drawbridge. Another bridge over a pond was part of a corridor decorated in dark brown. The gym was done in the round with a color scheme of orange, yellow, and brown. Two alcoves, one for tables and another for refreshments, added to the mood. The focal point consisted of an English garden scene accented with a three tier fountain in the middle of the floor. The Howard Amell Combo provided the music for the evening. A coat of arms behind the band set the theme of Camelot. A formal evening and the slow music of The Howard Amell Combo set a very romantic atmosphere. As a final touch to the mood, Randy Thrush, Mary Lou Hipskind, Carol Graft, Keith Waggoner, Phil Siders, Pat Garrison, Jeff Houlihan, and Margo Copeland float along with the musical rhythm. 99 Formals were the projects for senior Home Economics students. Nancy Stanley, Melba Parrett, and Mary Swank display the crea- tions from their hard work. Ready for the style show are Debbie Wendell, Kathy Sausa- man, and Carol McColley. ' Steps To Style 100 Girls Model Suits, Formals Huge paper flowers set the mood for a spring evening for Steps to Styles. More than 100 girls modeled suits, dresses, and formals in the Northfield High School Home Economics Style Show at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, May 20, 1969. The winner of this year ' s Betty Crocker Homemaker A- ward, Tara Bidwell, narrated the show. Mrs. Clifford Snyder, along with the Norse Notes who ended their career at North- field with this performance, provided the music. Mrs. Gene Cooper and Mrs. Fred Petty were the instruc- tors for these material creations. Three-piece cotton suits were modeled by girls in Home Economics I. A variety of garments were shown by the Home Econom- ics II and III classes. Eighth grade Home Economics girls modeled jumpers they had made. Approximately 175 people attended the show. Jane Forrester, Susan Conner, and Brenda Fa- vorite are among the eighth graders modeling dresses at the style sho w .

The junior high textbook defines sci- ence as being a body of organized knowledge about the things and forces in the universe, based on experimenta- tion. By things they mean matter or anything that has weight and occupies space (has volume). Almost everyone has some understanding about matter but when it comes to forces, few people can accurately define it or compre- hend all the different types of forces. What causes forces? Energy. One of the least under- stood forms of energy is that of light. What is this mysteri- ous substance that travels 186,000 miles per second? At this speed, in the time that it takes you to say 186,000 miles per second you could have traveled around the earth ' s equator seven and a half times! Light also has weight (particle characteristics) and these packets of light energy are called photons. Scientists from NASA have calculated that these photons of light streaming from the sun (the solar wind ) pushed the sateUite Vanguard I off course about one mile year. Phy- sicists also know that light is deflected by gravitational fields. These facts seem to point out tliat light is a parti- cle. Is light both a wave and a particle? The students in science today are the scientists of tomorrow who will find the answer to this and many other questions. They are preparing themselves for the scientific and technological world of the 21st century. David Blevins is busy completing his experiment in Chemistry lab. Larry Biehl is learning how different lenses refract light in Physics class. Mr. Graham demonstrates an oscilloscope to his Physics class.

Increasingly, citizens are called upon to participate in making decisions that are of an economic nature, whether it be deciding how best to spend or invest one ' s own hmited income, or deciding economic matters affecting the whole community. In fact, it may be said that people devote more time to economics than to anything else that concerns their everyday lives. In economics it ' s important to learn about our own economy. We learn about a free economy, its meaning, characteristics, and purposes. Within our economy we learn what to produce and how to produce it. Within the realm of production we learn about the problems and nature of money, banking, credit, farm problems, labor, capital, prices, resources, trade, and government in our economic lives, just to give a partial list. While learning about our economy, we compare it to other economic systems. John Shellenbarger w atches as Nancy Stanley casts her ballot in the election sponsored by the Government classes.

A right triangle is used to explain many math problems. Susie Speel- man knows. One of the new methods of teaching is by use of the overhead projector. Mr. Rea- haid finds it useful in Geometry. Math Techniques Chanse Each Year In the math curriculum at N.H.S. the class that has the highest degree of difficulty is, of course. Math IV, or se- nior math. Math IV, taught by Mr. Reahard, is taken by seniors whose future schooling requires the aspects of mathema- tics studied in the two-semester course. The first semester covers the relationships between the measures of the angles and sides of triangles or trigono- metry. Also studied are the relations of lines and graphs and coordinate number systems. The second semester covers analytic and solid geo- metry, statistics, probabilities, calculus and advanced al- gebra. Senior math is not an easy subject. Only a very few seniors can take the course and pass. Most of the seniors in the class this year will go on to highly involved courses of study in college, such as pre-medicine, computer tech- nology, pharmacutical science, and engineering. Mr. Reahards, knowledge and techniques make the course interesting, and the students feel rewarded for their scholastic efforts. A variable in a problem can sometimes make the solution difficult. Dale Smith and Nick Winters are only beginning to taste math-an important part of today ' s world. 32 ma S mUS Mauri Long displays the hog ringing crate which he built in farm- shop. Students learn to chart the market prices of farm commodities. Students Work In Supervised Program The freshman vocational agriculture students spend ap- proximately 40 per cent of the school year in the farm shop. Units in safety and tool identification are taught. Projects are determined by the student ' s need in his super- vised farming program. Some examples of projects are: gates, picnic tables, creep feeders, stock racks, beef troughs and feeders, hay racks for sheep and cattle, and martin houses. The sophomore vocational agriculture students work two 6-weeks in the farm shop. They learn to arc weld, gas weld and work with metal. The remaining time is used for special projects such as small engine repair, building items from saw horses to hog houses and working on small met- al projects. The junior-senior shop program consists of the foUow- ing semester courses: Farm Power and Electricity in which the boys repair tractors and do minor engine overhauling; Farm Structures, where the construction of large farm buildings is studied; and Farm Machinery, in which the school works in cooperation with farm machinery dealers in putting together such equipment as corn planters. Gary Barnett will be in business when it is farrowing time with this hog house. To feed out his pigs, Jeff Leland buUt a swine feeder Research Paper Provides Realistic Senior English is an excellent example of a course de- signed to meet the needs of a special group: college- bound students. Activities of the course include vocabu- lary development; critical evaluation of reporting on lit- erary selection, both orally and written; the writing of essays, editorials, and letters of application; group discus- sion and parliamentary procedure; and the writing of a research paper. The research paper provides the Northfield senior with a realistic experience in writing at the college level. The scope of the exercise encompasses the search for a suitable subject, the development of a comprehensive biblio- graphy, note-taking, precise writing, outlining, organizing, and arranging materials, properly documenting footnotes and bibhography, and typing the paper in strict confor- mity to all of the rules prescribed for format and manu- script. The preparation of this paper not only provides each student with practical experience in utilizing the nu- merous skills involved, but it also provides an extended exercise in self-discipline as each student experiences the mounting pressures involved in scheduling his work, bud- geting his time, and resolving the problems that nor- mally accompany the successful accomplishment of the project and meeting the required deadline for its submis- sion. Speech classes give a student the ability to express themselves. Taia Bidwell practices one of her talks before her classmates. As every senior in English knows, the last week of each grading period is devoted to oral book reports. Martha Futrell will be glad when her report is over! Linda Hall and Jerry Staten represent the eighth grade English class in showing their appreciation to their student teacher, Miss Thompson.

The development of communications skills to the max- imum extent of the student ' s individual ability is an in- tegral part of his total growth and development. Courses provide natural outlets for relating instructional methods to the individual needs and the developmental level of each student. The knowledge of different languages develops an ex- change of ideas between countries and people. Each indi- vidual begins to grasp the culture of his language during the first year and broadens it during the next two years. Drawings of objects help Randy Unger and Cindy Cleaveland choose the right words in Spanish class. One part of each and every class is taking tests.

The year began by a review of the fundamentals: line, volume, area, perspective, highlights, shadows, composi- tion and design. The tools used for the first few weeks consisted only of a lead pencil, a stick of charcoal and paper. The students drew each other, vases, twigs, hands, benches, paint cans, and anything else easy to sketch. After the basics were introduced, color came into the scheme of things. The first project, a watercolor. was still- life. An introduction to the world of advertising proved challenging. Each student was to illustrate a full-page ad for L.S. Ayres and Company. The use of color was prohib- ited. Black and white were the only colors allowed. The use of texture and area gave dimensions. One phase of the class was its relation with history. Research reports were given orally to the class so that all benefited from them. Poster board provided the medium for book cover illus- trations; ceramics ended the year. Using poster paint, Jane Catterson makes a design on thin card- board. Students concentrate on their impressions of each other and how to project that feeling on paper. Pat Garrison begins shading the features most important to the character of her drawing. Displaying pottery projects are Marcia Pownall. .Alfred oung and Theresa Haupert 37 Eighth Graders Build Desk Lamps The eighth grade industrial arts class is especially de- signed to meet the needs of all the eighth grade boys. It is an attempt to introduce them to the basic industrial sys- tem and its related materials and tools. All the students are required to take this class, hence the class is designed to be a good foundation for those who choose to continue in this area: and it must also be a terminal course for those who will not carry it on. To fulfill the above requirements, the eighth graders build modernistic desk lamps. The desk lamp project gives the students work in five various areas of the industrial program; it acquaints them with the assembly line process and the use of various tools in the shop. All this is done from raw materials to the finished product in twelve to eighteen weeks of school. The five basic steps of construction expose the stu- dents to the following areas: (1) drafting, (2) woodwork- ing, (3) sheet metal, (4) electricity, and (5) plastics. Jim Bake, Joe Oswalt, and Jim Dale listen earnestly to Mr. Piasik ' s directions on how to use a woodworking lathe.

Dinners Served To Faculty The final year of Home Economics for senior girls was divided into two sections: foods the first semester and sewing the second semester. In cooking, the girls empha- sized meal preparation and special meals for guest teach- ers. The first dinner party the girls gave was a Thanks- giving meal. Together, they planned the total menu, and each one prepared a special part of the dinner. The girls were given a second opportunity to exhibit what they had learned by preparing another meal after Christmas vaca- tion. This meal was prepared during school hours and served to faculty guests after school. As a follow-up to textbook chapters on home furnish- ing and housing designs, each girl drew a floor plan, selected a color scheme, and chose and placed the style of furniture of her own dream house to a scale of one- fourth inch equals one foot. The second semester the girls started clothing con- struction. Their first project was a lined suit made of wool; formals or dresses completed their list of require- ments. This semester taught not only skill in sewing itself but also the importance of fabric and coordinating know- how. Denise Baker listens intently as Mrs. Petty demonstrates the proper way of diapering a baby. Hard at work are Pam Wasem and Judy Sparks, making dinner rolls for an afternoon buffet. Bernice Gressley works to complete her The Homemaker of the Year, Tara Bid- jumper for the dress revue, well, prepares cheese sauce for the facul- ty dinner. In Eighth Grade Home Economics, Mis.

Annual Band Chorus Candy Sales A Success The annual candy sale campaign began early in the fall. This year, decorative candles were also sold. Each member of the High School and Junior High Band and Chorus sold candy to increase the music fund. Afterward, a Grand Piano was bought for use in the inusic and choral rooms. Highlighting the activities of the music department dur- ing the school year was the spring production of the musi- cal, Guys and Dolls. Chorus members sang such num- bers as Sit Down You ' re Rocking the Boat, and Luck be a Lady ' while a selected orchestra provided the instru- mental support. Four high school bands and choruses harmonized at the 1969 County Festival, held at Southwood this year on March 3. The High School Band and Chorus perform the Hallelujah chorus from the Messiah at the Christmas Concert. Mary Wiley keeps her eye on Mr. Trump as she awaits the proper time for the brilliant clashing tones of the cymbals during a band rehearsal. Guest soloist at the Spring Concert, Gerald Franks, talks to stu- dents and parents afterward. In the auditorium, Mr. Trump directs the band during the last rehearsal before contest. Girls Learn First Aid For boys and girls freshmen and sophomore physical education is offered two days a week the first semester and tliree days a week the second semester. The program is designed to develop endurance, coordination, agility, strength, speed and skill. In boys physical education the activities that are taught are flag football, soccer, basketball, baseball, volleyball, track, wrestling, tumbling, and gymnastics. Physical fitness tests are given once every six weeks. The desired outcome is to develop a healthy citizen who appreciates the value of physical activity. In girls physical education such sports as volleyball, bowling, tennis, badminton, basketball, softball, tumbling and gymnastics are taught. A unit in First Aid is covered where the girls learn how to give two types of artificial respiration, apply tourniquets, and how to recognize bro- ken bones and apply temporary splints. Shirley Awker says Now What? as she and her partner Phil Sch- nepp learn to square dance in a combined junior high PE class. They made it!

Becky Baker receives expert medical attention from Beth Thomp- son and Bonnie Haecker in First Aid class. Cindy Geaveland checks the exact weight of Jane Tar- ter to record on her permanent health record. Preparing For The Business World The Business Education Department offers several good courses to the advanced student who is either preparing to enter the business world immediately upon graduation or who is planning to enter college. One of these is Secretarial Office Practice. The girls in tlris class learn to operate the listing machines— the ten key and full key adding machines and the fully automatic calculator. The students progress as far as they can in the time available to them on that particular machine. Some learn the more complicated processes such as adding and multiplying 2 problems simultaneously. By using the duplicating machines in the office area, instruction can also be given on the various ways materials can be copied. The students learn to type and run off dittos and stencils, and use the dry copying machine which can make a single copy or a ditto master in about five seconds. After learning the basic process on these machines, the students are given practical experience by duphcating materials for the school and teachers or for their own use in school projects. E.xpert shorthand speed is essential to the secretary. About 100-140 words per minute is achieved in class. The office Duplicator is used several times daily. Pat Murphy and Doris Bever can run as many as 250 copies. The Educator poses some real problems as Kay Grandstaff, Carol Pansier, and Kathy Denney soon find out. Typing from verbal dictation is quite difficult, but Barbara Tracy doesn ' t seem to mind the job. «.■ i Filing Is An Office Routine Filing is one of the hardest parts of office practice and takes a lot of concentration as Peggy and Emma show. The Full-Key Adding Machines can add columns that would take hours for the usual person. Kitty Chamberlain must really have a lot of figures to work on!

Lola Keffaber presided at our first meeting in October at wliich time the following offi- cers were elected: Tina Walker, Vice President this year and President next year. Terri Stowe, Secretary; Delinda Dyson, Treasurer, and Christi Long, Publicity Director. Each class also chose one representative to meet with the officers and cheerleaders to decide on projects and present suggestions or problems. These were; Tara Bidwell, se- nior, Rita Dale, junior; Susie Krom, sophomore;and Patty Yentes, freshman. Our first basketball game of the year was an away game-at Manchester— but the girls voted to attend as a group. This same spirit to do more than was required was in evidence throughout the year. Many cheerblock mem- bers provided skits for the pep sessions, as the memorable Laugh-In Skit. Under the direction of the cheerleaders, pep sessions were planned, posters made, the trophy case cleaned and decorated, and special yells and routines worked out and practiced. The cheerblock met at least once a week during football and basketball season with 2 practices after school. At the last home basketball game roses were presented to each senior in cheerblock.

Baseball Team Shows Improved Tactics The 1968 baseball season began with four games being rained out, but we won the next three straight games. Although there was only one returning senior on the squad, the team worked well together. In the sectional we were eUminated by Akron after leading for six and one- half innings. Rick White again did an outstanding job and won the RBI award after driving in a record tying 17 runs; he received the Pitching and Batting awards with a .078 earned run average. Making no errors in 23 chances, Steve Dyson won the Outstanding Fielder trophy. The starting line-up consisted of Gary Wilson, catcher; Rick White, pitcher; Dallas Baer, first base; Randy Unger, second base; Randy Case, short stop; Joe Oswalt, third base; Ron Baer, left field; Steve Dyson, center field; and Tom Stieglitz, right field. .r E.

Harriers Display Drive, Endurance And Competition This year the cross country team was built around Bob Swank, Steve Ahlfeld, and Larry Biehl. These were the only returning lettermen from last year. Northfield ' s ace, Bob Swank, never lost a meet until he entered Regional competition at Fort Wayne. Hampered by a cold, he finished sixth out of 80 runners. This meant he did not quahfy for the State meet, as only the first five boys are eligible. Northfield wiU miss Bob for his desire and competitive spirit that was always present for each practice and each meet. He established a new course re- cord for the two mile run at 9 min. 38 sec. Other boys who earned varsity letters were Brent Wilson, Bob Da id- son, David Lefforge, Rod Stouffer. Mike Shoemaker, and Dennis Mouser. Earning reserve letters were Kevin Cordes, Gary Harnett, Randy Tlirush, Bill Wood. Dan Haupert, Mike Ogan, Dennis Bielil, Randy Case, and Rod Winters. All of these boys did a fine job in representing NortMield at their various meets. Individual awards were won by Bob Swank for outstanding varsity runner and Steve . hlfeld for the outstanding underclassman. 49 Gridmen Retain Per- TWs year ' s football squad played like never before. The tough defensive shut out our opponents in four winning games. The low point came at the end of the season when Southwood attacked us in mud and rain for a 6-6 tie; the high point, however, came when we snowed the tough Eastern squad, 12-0, last year ' s and currently this year ' s Mid Indiana Conference Champ. It was the first time in three years they had been shut out. Their leading con- ference scorer was stopped cold with a season ' s low rush- ing yardage of 80 yards. Our defensive unit gets a great deal of credit. Three of the four losses were merely by one touch- down. As for tying, all of the football players agreed that tying a football game is like kissing your sister. The boys worked very hard in practice starting August 15. Sometimes the temperatures were above 90 degrees, but toward the end of the season they fell to 40 degrees at times. The practices were harder and more exhausting than the games. J. P.

Coaching Staff, Spirit Boost Team Morale The Northfield Norsemen finished with the finest re- cord of any Northfield basketball team to date, 17-5. It was an exciting season, playing to capacity crowds every night. Hoosier hysteria has finally caught on at Northfi eld and future seasons are sure to produce many enjoyable evenings for Norse fans. Coach Miller and his boys are anxiously awaiting No- vember 1, 1969. Roger Cole and Kraig Ahlfeld, seniors, will be missed a great deal. The Norsemen have many boys returning to the varsity next year and they will be the backbone of the team. Checking on the varsity basketball team at Northfield has produced the fact that all were in the upper two-thirds of their class. Three of the boys were even in the top ten in their respective class and one was tied for the first ranking in his class. Four more are in the top half. Scho- lastic achievement, athletic ability, and sportsmanship are the characteristics working together for the good of the individual and the perfection of the Norse sportsman. The Northfield cheerblock looks concerned over who ' s going to get that ball- Northfield or Whites.

With Ron Baer, Gary Wilson, and Ron Schenkel down from the varsity to play two quarters the team was given leadership as well as the missing scoring strength. Kevin Steele and Ron Schenkel had a good fight for the rebound trophy with their fine ability to clean off the boards. Keith Koch and Ron Baer tied for the honor of most assists. Since Mi. Christie will not be involved in coaching next year at Northfield he wishes to thank every boy this year and previous years for the support and coop- eration given him in his seven years at Northfield. Team members practice tip-ins and lay-ups. ♦ O 54 North Miami And Fairmount Fall In Defeat Better try for a reversal, Greg! This year we had two glorious victories-which is two more than last year. North Miami and Fairmount fell in defeat. Brent Wilson and Bill Gant placed fourth in the 165 and 98 pound classes at the Manchester Invitational. Ed Morris, wrestling in the 133 pound class, defeated his opponent from Kokomo at the Sectional but was stopped in the next bracket. Jerry Tucker won some decisive battles and kept us from being shut out more than once. Brent Wilson and Keith Waggoner pulled in 27 and 26 big points for Northfield to earn their letters. Outstanding performers were Brent Wilson, Jerry Tuck- er, and Keith Waggoner. Captain Keith Waggoner was elec- ted by his teammates to provide leadership for the team. The grapplers really appreciated the fine turnouts at some of the home meets this year. The team took some hard knocks, but with experience, we hope to make this year ' s set-backs pay off next year.

AUhough the season ended with the Norse track team faihng to get in the winners column, several members of the squad turned in outstanding performances. Senior Bob Swank continued his winning ways all season and ran undefeated until the Regional Track Meet at Fort Wayne. At the Sectional Track Meet he won first in the two mile race. The time, 9:58 was not his best one though because of the wet and cold weather. The next Saturday, he placed second in the Regional, which entitled him to run at the State Meet on May 24. For the second time in three years. Northfield had a boy place in this meet as Bob brought home a fourth place medal with a winning time of 9:29 .2. Another highlight of the season was the first place trophy for Class B that the Norse brought home from the Oak Hill Relays on May 3. Nikki Anderson can tell you that it was a wet, cold track season. i Coming down the home stretch, Norse trackmen Tom Stieglitz and J. P. Mattern give it all they have. Mark Herendeen is ready for the 220 to begin at the County Track Meet.

They were senior John Ferrier, juniors, Dave Dyson and Greg Sheetz, and sophomores Dennis Mouser and Mike Shoemaker. Coach Realiard also had some reserve strength in Kraig Ahlfeld, senior, juniors Steve Dyson and Don Rinearson, and sophomores Dennis Horine and Stan Forrester. The team started the year off right by defeating Pierce- ton the first meet of the year at the South Shore Golf course and then Mentone on April 14 at the Rozella Ford golf course at Warsaw. Although rain hampered play at this meet, David Dyson shot an outstanding 6 over par. The rest of the season was not this good and the Norse Team closed with a record of 2 wins, 1 tie, and 8 losses. On May 13 they entered the Sectional Tournament at Bluffton. Dennis Mouser, No. 1 man, had one of his bad days as he shot a 96. However, Dave Dyson, No. 2, played well and won medalist honors for the Norse.

Mr. Christie congratulates Bob Swank on his fine performance in cross-country. He established a new course record for the two-mile run at 9:38. The awards given to athletes are presented in accor- dance with the IHSAA and by the recommendation of the coaching staff and administration. (The system now in use has been adopted but changes can be made as circum- stances are altered.) Upon completion of his first sport ' s season, a junior high boy will be awarded a four -inch by four-inch felt patch with the appropriate insert. After a junior high ath- lete has completed liis fifth sport ' s season, he is awarded his graduation numerals. If a freshman team is organized in any sport, the award offered is the graduation numerals, unless the numerals were earned in junior high. An athlete can receive only one set of numerals. A gray five-inch letter is awarded to members of a reserve team or by the recommendation of the coach it a reserve team is formed. The foregoing awards are called minor awards and an athlete can receive only one minor award. The next highest award, called a major award, is the varsity N. The N is a white six-inch N with the appropriate insert and is awarded to athletes whose contribution to the team deserves recognition. The guidelines are usually participation in half the quarters or innings, or placing in half the track or cross-country meets. An athlete can re- ceive one varsity letter in each of the school sponsored varsity sports. If a participant letters two or more times in the same sport, all awards after his first letter in that sport are in the form of certificates. Trophies are awarded for outstanding achievement and these awards vary with the sport. The letter jack is a senior award and is given only after an accumulation of 250 points. See page 61 for more details. Senior track members include Bob Swank, Gary DiUard, Brent Wilson, J. P. Mattern, Tom Stieglitz. and Larrj Biehl. ir . fV¥ -fe - Trophies Awarded For Outstanding Achievement A J. p. Mattern was presented the Gus Dorais Loyalty Award.

All attending seem to find the Spring Awards Night a great place to gather for the climax of the season. Also important to athletes is the support behind them.

The Norse were led by quarterback Randy linger who com- pleted 11 of 20 passes for 103 yards and one touchdown. The frosh first scored on a six-yard pass from linger to Holycross in the first quarter. Then in the second stanza linger sprinted 12 yards around left end to pay dirt and completed a pass to Jim Price for the extra point. This marks the first time a Nortlifield freshman team has won a game. During the Huntington game Ed Gillespie received a knee injury but that didn ' t keep him out for long. De- fensively, the front line did a fine job. Without the great school support and team effort, the season would not have been the successful one that it was.

The largest turnout in Northfield ' s history proved there was an increase in the interest of football. The seventh grade Norse finished the season with a 1-4-1 record. Size had no bars on position as httle men proved to be big men both on and off the field. For the fighting Norse the future looks great. Quarterback M. J. Vrooman threw three touchdowns, as running backs Jeff Mast and Larry Schnepp ran for touch- downs. The defensive unit was lead by the sheer determina- tion of eleven strong teammates. Lane Custer and Dean White were very strong on recoveries and pass interceptions. We were proud to have had two very good safety guys in Randy Titus and Doug Huffman. The offensive and defen- sive linemen were very forceful as a unit.

Their season record of eleven wins and six losses rates as an all-time best. In addition to their outstanding regular season play, the young Norse also did well in tournament play, capturing the championship of the Oak Hill Tourney and finishing a strong third in the Wabash County meet. This team will long be remembered for its demonstrated hustle and de- sire. Northfield fans have much to look forward to as this team matures and improves in the years to come.

The Student Council functions as the student govern- ing body at Northfield and is the principal service organi- zation of the school. The program for Homecoming— including the election of queens, judging of floats, and a dance— is the main activity in the first montlis of school. Throughout the year, it sponsors various convocations; its best money- making project is the coat check during basketball games. Members also sell ice cream during the lunch hour. Tliis year has been one of heated discussion and con- structive conferences concerning the activities of the stu- dent council. As stated in the school newspaper, Some student council members feel that the organization is powerless and inoperative; others believe it is operating efficiently. By combining two responsibilities-some voice in school administration and service to fellow classmates and the community— the student council can again operate as an efficient organization. Certainly, the young people of today should have more voice in its world. STUDENT COUNCIL-Row 1: Tara Bidwell, Ed Barker, Pia Son- dergaard, Susie Sever, Larry Biehl, Steve Flolir, Marvin Horine.

Panel Gives Insip:ht To Future Larry Biehl presents Bob Swank and Tom Stieglitz a special com- mendation for their Scores on the National Merit Qualifying test. On October 16, 1968, fourteen new members met the required qualifications and were inducted into North- field ' s Honor Society. The new members included five seniors, eight juniors, and Pia, our exchange student who is an honorary member. After the induction, a brief sfjcial gathering was held in the library honoring the new mem- bers and their parents. This tea was attended by the facul- ty and all National Honor Society members. One of the projects was to help the PTO officers at the Back to School Night. Members acted as guides to help parents find what classes they should attend. Instead of a Career Day this year, the Society spon- sored a college panel, who presented a picture of college life both social and academic. Questions of many kinds were asked by students after each member of the panel had spoken. On May 29, Mrs. Squires, members of the Honor Socie- ty, and their guests enjoyed a picnic at Salomonie State Forest. A tea was held for members and their Students Usten to college experiences of a for- parents after induction of new members. mer Northfield graduate.

The purpose of the Math and Science Club is to in- crease the knowledge of math and science, to learn to perfect skills in math and science, to understand the im- portance of math and science in our lives, and to provide speakers and tours which will broaden the knowledge and understanding of math and science. On April 1 2, members and non-members took a trip to Chicago. The itinerary included the Museum of Science Industry, lunch at the Museum cafeteria, the Planetarium, the Aquarium, Natural History, dinner downtown and stopovers at The Loop and the Prudential Building. A few wanderers walked eight miles to the Planata- rium; one exploded a sack beneath the huge dome of the Museum of Science and Industry; and then there were those who claim they hold the world ' s record for crowd- ing the most people into one section of a revolving door. All in all, it was a day well-spent. This was the first year Northfield has not held a Sci- ence Fair which is one of its annual projects. This gives the student an opportunity to demonstrate his knowledge in some field of interest. President, Ed Barker, conducts the discussion during one of the Wed- nesday evening meetings.

A scene from ' The Curious Savage por- trays Jim Horner, the guitarist, during a moment of inspira- tion. Cam Huffman, Beth Hartong, and Pia Sondergaard find the music very soothing. A new experience for the NHS drama group, the reader ' s theatre production, proved successful when seven students participated in the Third Annual Ball State Theatre Conference, April 26. Edgar Lee Master ' s Spoon River Anthology underscored with folk music proved a winning combination for Tara Bidwell, Cam Huffman, Jim Horner, Debbie Bozarth, John Ferrier, Janet Weaver, and Alice Durnbaugh as the group ranked second in a field of 15 schools. Special commendation was received from Alan Huckleberry, Ball State Speech Department Chairman, for the exceUence of the performance. Also participating in the conference in the comedy division were Melba Parrett, Dan Giddens, Suzanne Guttrich, Bill Gant, and Beverly Corn in The Happy Journey. Participation in this event will no doubt be an annual project for the dramatics group. The musical comedy Guys and Dolls provided a medium which served primarily one purpose: to enter- tain. Professionals working on Broadway, off-Broadway, and in touring companies have worked endlessly to devel- op this phase of the theatre. So popular has it become that today it is experimented with in semiprofessional summer stock, college theatre, and high school drama groups. To stage such a work is truly a production, for most musicals call for large casts, good voices, talented musicians, and actors capable of adapting to movement patterns. A well-balanced show must use scenery, cos- tumes, and staging which lend themselves to the dance and acting movements and help the theatre goers visualize realistically what is happening. The unheralded persons in such a show must surely be those behind the scenes who helped to make it a believable art form. Fun: Valentine ' s Pot Luck Dinner Mrs. Bozarth afternoon club explains library procedures to her assistants at an meeting. The Library Club was organized in an effort to broaden the knowledge of our library facilities and the possibilities in modern library science, and to encourage interest and ability in reading itself. Tlirough the literature, films, cata- logs, etc., that the club lias received our library has ac- quired many new books and more modern methods of classifying and distributing them. Besides improving the library itself, the members also benefit from club participation. They learn more effective methods of study by using the library facilities to their greatest advantage. In an effort to raise money and to make a greater selection of modern literature available to the student body, the Library Club sold paper-back books. These were displayed on a book rack in the library ' s front office and were purchased any time during the school day. In the way of service awards, first -year members were presented with certificates, and members who have parti- cipated for two years were awarded club pins. One of Beth Hartong ' s jobs is to replace pictures and articles in the vertical file. Jim Polk assists Doug Doster in checking out library materials.

Brent Wilson, Marvin Horine, Brian Van Dielan, Gary Wilson, and Ed Barker were the most active. These boys were responsible for setting up microphones for convoca- tions and pep sessions. They also were each assigned a period of the day during which they were to help teachers show films. The machines that they operated most fre- quently were the 16 millimeter projector and the tape recorder. They also were available to demonstrate how to use the microfilm reader in the hbrary. One of these boys. Brain Van Dielan, was responsible for keeping all the equipment in good repair.

Most of the class time during the year was devoted to the publication of the paper and the members of the class readily support the statement, Experience is the best teacher. The staff met as a class during one period of the day, learning much about the process of publishing a news- paper. This was the first year text books were used, al- though we enjoyed covering our various beats, writing news and feature stories, and practicing the actual duties of staff members much more. The paper is paid for by advertisements from local mer- chants which members of the staff solicit one year ahead of time. Due to the good support of the community and student body, the staff earned enough money to help pur- chase a new typewriter for use by our staff members. The first week of May, the entire class visited the new facilities at the Wabash Plain Dealer. We would like to thank Bryan Cole, who is not a mem- ber of the staff, for helping Rita Dale get the needed pictures. Copyreading is the most important task in preparing a newspaper. Rita Dale, Craig Ahlfeld, and Cindy Swan triple-check the copy.

As the work on another yearbook comes to an end, we believe you will find the ' 69 Shield a helpful source for statistics and historical facts. Hours of work and planning went into another 144 pages of student and teachers ' activities. For the first time we added a full page of color containing three separate action shots of Homecoming festivities. Also, there was a section of events pertaining to the 1968-1969 school year. We hope in future years this will bring back memories. Special thanks to Bryan Cole, Mr. Fansler, Mr. Werking, Mr. Piasick, Mr. Kaltenmark, Mrs. Mast, and the Wabash Plain Dealer for the great pictures they made available for annual use. Thank you also to Mrs. Squires for the help her newspaper articles were for annual copy. An extended ex- pression of appreciation to Mrs. Mast and all the staff mem- bers for the hours of extra time devoted to make the Shield a successful one.

The club worked liard to raise money for parties, pins, and guards. Throughout the year, the club held thiee parties. Mem- bers dressed up in all different kinds of costumes for the Halloween party. Because the group made pinatas and Beatriz Helena Limongi Coclha, our sponsor ' s exchange student at Wabash, showed pictures of her home and country in BrazO, the Christmas party was exceedingly interesting. As a chmax of the school season, we held a summer party at the Salamonie Reservoir with boating and swim- ming as our entertainment.

Mary Lou Hipskind appointed a committee who was responsible for getting their addresses and writing a short note in each Christmas card. At the Spring Awards Convocation, the French Club presented chenile awards to members who maintained an A average for the semester in either French I or II. Awards were presented to Debbie Van Dalsen, Rhonda Sanders, Pia Sondeigard, Cindy Stieglitz, Debbie Swart, Lynn Terrel, Lottie Waggoner, and Patty Yentes.

From a nucleus group of 19 in 1967, the NHS speech team has increased its ranks and the quality of performance to take its place among the best. On nearly any Saturday from October to April one may witness the procession of cars leaving NHS in the early hours of the morning. Destination: a speech meet. Ask any team member if it ' s worth it and he ' ll cite examples of competing in exciting rounds, accepting a ribbon or trophy for the first time, and cheering when the team places. Not to be exceeded by these moments are the memo- ries of hosting the FIRST speech meet at NHS on January 18. Needless-to-say it was a very good year and 1970 will be no less a success. Winners at the Manchester Novice Speech Meet were Debbie Elliot, Oratorical; Susie Krom, Poetry; Ro- berta Haupert and Susan Guttiich, Radio; and Dan Giddens, E.xtemporaneous. Debbie Foster, Susanne Guttrich, and Janet Weaver anxiously check the placingsat the Northfield Speech Meet.

Our purpose is: to create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community, high stan- dards of Christian character. We worked at a football game taking care of the ajn- cession stand and served at the 8th grade tournament to add to our funds. Fifty-seven girls helped the Mental Health Association by providing gifts for patients at Logansport.We received a certificate of appreciation from the Save the Children Federation for clothes gathered for needy children in Appalachia. The group brought a smile of sunshine to tired teachers by placing a candy cane tied with a bow on each desk as well as providing one for every member of the staff. The crowning experience was a ward party at one of the local nursing homes. The girls also decorated the showcase for Christmas and were responsible for the Easter Convocation.

Charcoal ' ' Oil- weir ' Claims Best Of Show The Art Club, a group of seventeen members, met every Tuesday after school. To raise money for the club, Christmas decorations such as parchments, angels, wreaths, Christmas trees, and birds in a nest, were made by the members and sold at the Akron basketball game. Posters were made for many organizations including the Lions Club, the AFS, the AAU Track Meet, pep sessions, and many more. The scenery for the musical Guys and Dolls may be attributed to the hard work of Art Club members. In conjunction with this spring musical, the Art Qub spon- sored an Art Fair in the library which was open to all Northfield students. Cam Huffman ' s Oilcan was judged best of show and received a first place rating in the color division by Mr. Marvin Love. Cam Huffman and Kathy Stieglitz entered their paint- ings in an Art Contest sponsored by the Wabash Art Guild. Cam won first prize and Kathy won second prize in the Northfield division. A first place was won again by Cam at the district contest where Cam learned he was eligible to enter a summer workshop at Ball State Univer- sity.

They studied the opportunities, responsibilities, problems, and the importance of the teachers ' role in our nation and throughout the world. If a member of this organization, seniors may enroll in exploratory teaching. Ten members participated in this program this year. At the last meeting of the year, these students shared their exp)eriences in the classroom with other FTA members. Money-making projects this year consisted of working at concessions at the Whites basketball game and the spon- soring of a Book Fair in the library. At the Book Fair, students were invited to use the conference room of the library to look through and buy paper back books. The senior members of the FTA were the dinner guests of the County Classroom Teachers ' Association at their Spring Dinner meeting. Members of the FTA spend time at one of their meetings going over different college catalogs. A potluck supper and FTA party proves most delightful to all involved.

An- nually, the FFA sponsors a Parent-Son banquet which is followed by the presentat ion of club achievement awards for the previous year. Other regular activities included a slave auction, tractor pull, and selling Slow Moving Vehicle signs. The money raised at these functions goes partially toward sponsoring a trip to Chicago for the senior Ag. boys. This year Mike McKillip was chosen as delegate to the district meetings where he served as District Sentinel. He also attended the National FFA Convention in Kansas City along with Tim Grossman and Ted Biehl. Several club members also attended State Leaderslrip Camp at Lincoln State Park last summer.

Theresa Haupert spent many hours practicing for the Girls ' State Track Meet at Wirt High School in Gary. She received a fourth in the high jump. Congratulations! The GAA constitutional objective to stimulate all girls to participate in athletics and recreational activities was hopefully met this year with the additional emphasis upon individual sports and the inclusion of the junior high girls in the organization. The junior high girls are permitted to participate in all recreational activities provided by the organization but will not acquire GAA points for their participation nor compete with other schools in such ac- tivities until their freshman year. To meet the recreational objective, the individual sports of skating, bowling, swimming, tennis, golf, and track were included in the program. Girls still recall with enthusiasm and laughter the bruises received at Rock Lake in the fall while skating, the many bowling balls dropped on tiny feet at Ashby ' s, the water guzzled at the Man- chester Community pool, the hoarse voices resulting from too many Christmas carols, and the many 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. basketball practices.

Girls Perform At Gay Half-time Football Affairs The girls who provide the added color for the marching band are the majorette, six twirlers, and sixteen Norsettes. Girls are selected for these positions on the basis of tryouts held each spring. They are chosen according to marching ability, rhythm, personality, physical appear- ance, and good citizenship. The sixteen members of the Norsettes are divided into four squads with several girls acting as leaders to teach routines to the other members. Carol Fansler served as drum majorette for two years. Along with giving the band marching signals, it was her responsibility to direct the numbers played by the band. The two senior twirlers, Becky Howard and Kitty Cham- berlain marched with the band for six years. Becky Ho- ward served as the head twirler her senior year.

The group is composed of 1 senior, 5 juniors, 4 sophomores, and 5 freshmen. The members were chosen on a try-out basis. This group has been very active this year and hope to do bigger things next year. The group sang for the Republi- can Day Dinner at which Congressman Roudebush was the guest of honor, the Kiwanis Club, and the area Lions ' Club Meeting held at Northfield. The group will lose one senior, Alice Durnbaugh,and all will be sorry to see her go because she contributed so much to the Swing Choir, not only in her talent but also in her personality.

Several overhead projectors liave been pur- chased for class use. Mr. Dawes attended the annual meeting of the North Central Association of Secondary Schools in Chicago where he heard top educators speak on current school problems and innovations. He was also a member of several visitation teams to other schools in Indiana who were applying for accreditation to tliis association. This gave him an opportu- nity to report methods used in other school systems and ideas of how we could improve our educational program, during faculty meetings. Other members of the faculty likewise attended clinics and workshops in their particular field throughout the year and at Teachers ' Institute.

Government and econom- ics books were part of being a SENIOR. As school progressed and Homecoming candidates were chosen— ours, Lola Keffaber-the SENIORS congregated at Nancy Stanley ' s house to decorate our float. The decor was of olive green, white, brown, and blue. A wishing well surrounded by green shrubs and scenery with a white wrought iron love seat served as the tlrrone site for Lola. Her escort was Dave Cartwright. Class members ordered name cards, graduation an- nouncements, and senior pictures in preparation for May, 1969. Then as the end of the first semester rolled around, students took scholastic achievement tests for college en- trances. Many even visited colleges during high school days. Others took military exams as they planned to enter the service after graduation. Those taking SENIOR English were relieved, for the term papers were finished. Literature study was the sec- ond semester course. SENIORS and their dates attended the Junior-SENIOR Prom in their honor on May 10. This was the last time they attended it as a student. A hypnotist entertained at the SENIOR class party on May 16. Kathy Yentes went into the past and told what presents she got on each of her birthdays. Steve White proved to be a good subject for the hypnotist; others tried it. During Baccalaureate on Sunday, May 18, SENIORS received Bibles as gifts from Mr. Speicher. The following Friday, May 23, Phil Eskew addressed SENIORS and at- tendants with his speech Which Hand at Commence- ment exercises. We ' ve had a wonderful time in liigh school, but that only served as a base for things to come. kAltdfk Senior class officers are those who lead. This year we have excellent class leaders with many new ideas. They are: Ed Barker, Vice-Presi- dent; Tara Bidwell, Secretary; Minda Powell, Treasurer; and Steve Flohr, President.

This was the first time a class at Northfield decided to get the oval rings. Next came the annual magazine sales. The juniors won the sale from the seniors under the capable leadership of Jim Dale and Kathy Sausaman as general managers and the four team captains, Jocelyn Bowman, Roberta Haupert, Susan Metz- ger, and Cindy Swan. Cindy Swan was high salesman from the junior class. Hot on the heels of the magazine sales came preparations for the sixth annual Homecoming. With Rhonda Cunningham as our queen candidate, we built our float around the theme of Days of Wine and Roses. As the band stopped the music, the winner of the float com- petition was announced. All the hard work paid off be- cause our float won first place. To put the frosting on the cake, Rhonda Cunningham was crowned the 1968 Home- coming Queen. On March 28 the Sadie Hawkins Dance was held. The representatives chosen in a junior class meeting— Carol Dale and Dennis Barker -were crowned Daisy Mae and Li ' l Abner. Also at this meeting we chose our class flower, the snapdragon; class colors, avocado and goldenrod; and our motto, In ourselves our future lies.

Awards were presented to sophomore class members on Awards Day for track, golf, GAA, and Speech. Rlionda Sanders and Jim Horner received the Scholastic awards for the sophomore year. One of the most memorable moments of the year was the selection and ordering of class rings. The officers of the class decided that the Class of 71 should have square rings. Each member then chose the color, size, and style of the ring they wanted. Other activities during the year included serving as waitresses and waiters at the Junior— Senior Banquet and assembling a mod Homecoming float for our illuminous queen, Karen Huffman. The sophomores climaxed the year with their class party Saturday night. May 24. They chose the theme Off to the Races in ' 71 which was decorated with black and white checkered flags.

This year the freshman class started their high school career with enthusiasm. Upon entering high school, we advanced to the east lockers, which gratefully relieved us from some of the mass confusion of the junior high hall. Our first major project was constructing a homecoming float, Cindy Cleveland represented our class as the Girl from Iwo Jima, Cindy sat between our two much-la- bored-over palm trees. Mrs. Guttrich and Mr. Fansler taught orientation, a re- quired course for all freshmen. Through their emphasis on vocational information, we formulated some ideas about our individual vocational interests which will undoubtedly help us as we plan the curriculums for our remaining years in high school. Our last fling was the class party. The theme, Surf ' s Up, was decorated by posters, beach balls, and anchors. Gillispie. Edward Haecker, Bonnie Haecker, Tom HaU.Judy Harrell.

Many of us set out for new and exciting learning experiences. Most eighth graders kept physically fit by participating in GAA, basketball, football, wrestling, and track. The girls often found themselves in the kitchen or sewing cen- ters while the boys were mastering skills in the shop and agricultural areas. The Junior High Band earned a superior and the Eighth Grade Chorus an excellent rating at contest for their ef- forts. Everyone enjoyed our two sock -hops and the class party. Even though this year was filled with lots of work and fun, the class eagerly awaits its turn to explore the high school halls as freshmen.

We had a really successful football season. In basketball, victory was with us during eight games. We lost three games. Sock -hops were also a part of our groovy year. Student activities included: cheerleading, GAA, foot- ball, basketball, annual staff. North Star staff, track, golf, and tennis. The seventh grade class party was held April 25 from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. We played basketball and soccer: later we ate and danced. Everyone had fun this year.

Much of this instruc- tion is individual or in small groups; emphasis is put on things to help the student adjust to daily living, such as basic math, reading, English, and civic responsibilities. Last fall we put the final touches on our Social Studies display for the State Teachers ' Convention in Indiana- polis. Charlie Brown made quite a hit campaigning for communications. Thiee students were enrolled in eighth grade Art, one in Art I, two in Music class, and everyone in P.E. class. One of the girls joined GA.A. and enjoyed the many activities. Two of the boys worked in the kitchen at noon. Five of the students had the opportunity to take part in the new junior high reading remedial program. School r ings were ordered by some of the students who were sixteen years of age. Special Education helps the individual to develop his ability. Santa is welcomed by Eddie Selleck and Helen Wimmer. Paper Mache ' is only part of the art class that is taught. David Bidwell, Danny Combs, and Marlin Music are forming figures of paper mache ' .

Denmark Charm Is Contagious Pia Sondergaard Raunkjaergaard, Vindinge Nyborg 5800, Denmark Dear Friends; I still remember my first day at Northfield. I was just a little bit scared, for I didn ' t know where I was going— I didn ' t know many of the students or the teachers. It did, however, not take me a long time to feel at home , for everybody was so nice and helpful and easy to make friends with. Thank you so much. This year has been a great experience to me, and now that it is time to leave I cannot help feehng a little sad. On the other hand I sincerely hope that this is not the end of our friendships, and not the last time I ' ll see these great Norsemen. You shall all know that you ' ll be more than welcome in my home in Denmark if you ever get a chance to go there and I hope to be able to come back and see all of you again in two years, when I ' ve finished my high school education in Denmark. Thank you so much for your hospitality and friend- ships, and thank you so much to my family here, whom I truly have enjoyed Uving with. Love Pia Sondergaard (Sunoco) This year the senior Government class held a mock election. Pia, Cindy Odum, Melinda Schnepp, and Bob Sayre hand out official voting ballots. All Northfield students had the opportunity at differ- ent times throughout the year to hear Pia ' s lovely voice sing in harmony with guitar tones. 139 Sponsors For The ' 69 Shield — Thank You!
