Spirit was high at the outset of the Homecoming game, but was readily dampered by the stop and go rain. The Wonderful World of Fantasy inspired story of Snow White. The class of 72 followed a theme of Cinderella and the juniors modeled their ' s after Alice in Wonderland. The winning float, built by the Senior Class, was based on the story, Hansel and Gretel. The half-time show marked the all-im- portant time when Carol Dale was crowned 1969-70 Homecoming Queen. Approximately 175 attended the Homecoming Dance in the cafeteria with the music provided by the Mid- night Hour from Muncie.

Flanked by Steve Dyson and Jim Dale, Carol Dale leads the Senior Class down the Junior High Hall. Shedding tears of joy, 1969-70 Homecoming Queen, Carol Dale is congratulated by the 1968-69 Queen, Rhonda Cunningham. 15 i Along with serving as captain of the varsity cheerleaders, Senior Carol Dale also held the office of Secretary of the Stu- dent Council. Tri-Hi-Y, Band and 4-H were organizations in which Carol participated during the final year at Northfield. A major in Honne Economics at Purdue University was Carol ' s plan after graduation. Carol ' s impression of Homecoming was one of class togetherness in float work and campaigning for a candidate. Queen ' s Court Serves School LuAnn Yentes indicated her wish to be either an elementary school teacher or a house wife. LuAnn was a member of the Dewart Lake Ski Club which she enjoyed very much. LuAnn ' s school activities included Spanish Club, Tri-Hi-Y and treasurer of the junior class. LuAnn said she was honored to represent her class and knew it would be an experience that she would never forget. Tammi Leiand thought Homecoming was a blast. A member of the 4-H and chorus, Tammi also acted as freshmen class sec- retary and captain cheerleader. Swimming, camping, and caring for pets were a few of Tammi ' s interests outside school. She hoped to become a model in the future. Sophomore candidate, Diane Dawson listed music as her favorite pastime as she well demonstrated with her active membership in band and chorus. A member of the Wabash Friend ' s Church, Diane also enjoyed 4-H work. Upon graduation she indicated a desire to teach on the elementary or secondary level. Tom Clarkson and Glenda Chain make a devilish pair of vil- lains as they sing a song. ' Under The Gaslight A Nineteenth C entury melodrama was made quite believable by a spirited cast. Dennis Barker performed as a dashing, young hero and Janet Weaver portrayed the sweet role of Laura. Keith Waggoner provided un- limited comedy with his role as Snorkey, the one-armed Civil War Veteran. Glenda Chain and Tom Clarkson brought hisses and jeers from the audience when they appeared as the two scheming villains. Pearl Courtband was played by Cindy Behny who was to vie for the heart of Ray Trafford. Gary Pansier and Bill Gant sang with Diane Hapner to produce teams from the audi- ence. With shades of W. C. Pields, Bryan Cole will al- ways be remembered as Sam and the Policeman. Bryan also had the responsible job of stage manager. The members of society sang rousing chorus num- bers at intervals to add variety and reality to the pro- duction. Bt A few men of the New York Society are Dan Kirtlan, Don Rinearson, Tom Clarkson, Bryan Cole, Tom Bever, and David Dyson. Curtain time is in 7 minutes as the entire cast gathers in the band room to wait for the cue.

Wind chimes, Japanese statues and lus- cious colors added to the atmosphere. The center of at- traction seemed to be a myna bird who occasionally screeched a greeting. The bird wa s perched inside a pink pagoda amidst a delicate flower garden. Have you ever tasted Butano Sulci Yal i or Lotus Petals in Sweet Nectar? These were examples of the cuisine served at the buffet throughout the evening. Karen Fansler gave the welcome; Darl Hall, the response; and Mr. Shipley served as toastmaster.

Debates, Papers Discussions, Themes Keep Students Busy The heterogeneous emotions of man were analyzed by thoughtful English students who in turn, expressed their own. Feelings were released in the forms of drama, speaking or writing. To proclaim this feeling, journal- ists or speakers found that a study of grammar needed to be included in the program to link all aspects of English into one fine art. Mrs. Van Camp ' s English 10 class rewrote Julius Caesar using a modern day theme. Juniors engaged in debates and informal discussions. Records, films, and tapes aided the teacher in teaching the wide range of English subjects. The second six weeks of Mr. Jones ' English 12 clas- ses was devoted entirely to research. Students worked step-by-step until the final day when the feat was ac- complished . . . the research paper. The many articles of football attire are gloriously demonstrated in Speech Class by Ron Baer and Tom Bever. From General Math To Calculus Students Study The Science Of Numbers Reasoning powers prevailed while students pondered relationships of numbers and symbols in the science of mathematics. Algebraic principles were introduced to bewildered junior high students while seniors explored the facets of trigonometry and calculus. Seniors gained practice in programminr computers by using the computer simulator. A field trip to the Purdue and I.U. Center in Fort Wayne also enriched this experience. Freshmen chose between Algebra I or General Math. College-bound sophomores sped forth to the branch of mathematics dealing with the properties of lines and angles, or plane geometry. Algebra fans undertook their second year of working with symbols and numbers. Stu- dents in this class were allowed to work in groups on an assignment. 1 Judging by the puzzled look on Dale Smith ' s face. Algebra class prompts many questions. Kenny Terrel is either day-dreaming or captivated with the wonders of the mathematical world. Mr. Rice explains the fundamentals of mathematics to eighth grade students.

People Studied Civilizations of the world are brought to the class ' s attention by Mr. Winegardner. Social Studies Course Vary Man ' s development from the time when cave men roamed the earth to man ' s historic walk on the moon- was explored by social studies students. Basically senior courses, sociology and psychology classes were involved with both Individual and collective studies of man and his environment. Seventh graders had a semester each of Indiana his- tory and geography. By work sheets, fill-in maps and quizzes, the students were taken back into the state ' s history. A short summary of the cultures and civilizations of the world was dealt with In world history— an elective for sophomores. United States history was taught to all juniors. Mr. Miller ' s class wrote term papers and watched films of basketball games. The American Heritage books In the library were utilized for reports by Mrs. Squire ' s history classes. Films on World War I and World War II were shown, along with some films on the American Negro. Government and economic students also saw films on communism. Discussions were held on different gov- ernment and economic systems. Reading, listening, and thinking are vital in a history class, as these sophomores learn. 160 Students Enrolled In Six Science Courses With the world today advancing at a rapid pace, such as moon wall s, new systems of production, new diseases and cures for the diseases, every one is related in some small way to science. Thus, the science depart- ment at NHS is one of the most widely used areas in the school. As the ever increasing interest in science was built up, a new course was offered. Modern physical science was a course for the student who was interested in science, but not capable of taking chemistry or physics. In March the science department sponsored a science fair where many exhibits were displayed. Students of chemistry, physics, and Biology II designed these pro- jects and were judged on the work they accomplished. Many new aids for teaching were used in the 1969- 1970 year. New inculaters, petri dishes, exhibit speci- mens, test tubes, and an overhead projector were among the many additions. Making sure he will not blow up the building, Mike Sampson performs an experiment with chemicals. Gary Speelman and David Unger learn to use the microscope correctly in General Science.

Push this lever for stop. Uncertain fingers followed the steps of operating the voicewriter, the ten key and full key adding machines, the educator, and the electric cal- culator. These girls proved to be an invaluable help in the school office where programs were duplicated and messages relayed. Girls also learned how to use dittos and stencils. A field trip to the public service company in Wabash and two insurance companies in Fort Wayne, enriched the student ' s experience in understanding how different offices operate. The Shorthand II Class sent tape recorders to Wabash executives who taped letters to dictate. These tapes were played to the class for actual experience in taking dicta- tion. The two typing classes learned to appreciate their newly acquired skills when the task of writing term pap- ers was assigned. Prospective businessmen studied business law and salesmanship to understand another aspect of the mam- moth, bustling business world.

Counselors Assist Student Planning Personal assistance was the objective of the Guidance Department. Every student, from grades 7-12, was counseled at least two times. Problems of both personal and academic type were related to either of the two counselors: Mrs. Marcus Guttrich or Mr. Wayne Fansler. Seniors, in particular, received added attention. Plans for college, jobs, and future careers were discussed. Each of the seven classes received a test in the area of mental ability or achievement. College Board Tests were administered to juniors and seniors. Orientation, a re- quired class for Freshmen, met for one semester, instead of the former plan of alternate days. The world of work was explored after the student studied personality and himself. A general idea of the student ' s future vocation was the result of seven different job studies. iVIike Sampson, Kathy Draper, Debbie Elliott, and Susie Speelman, listen to a Manchester College representative at the annual College Night. Students Learn Practical Skills Northfield claimed a large number of outstanding students at the Vocational School Banquet on May 12. Judy Black, who was also state parliamentarian, was named outstanding student in the afternoon beauty culture classes. Carol McColley won the award for the morning beauty culture classes. Jane Meyer was also named outstanding student in her food service class. John Biehl was a first-place winner in brick-laying at the Vocational State Contest. Available to juniors and seniors, was the opportunity to receive experience and training in a vocation. By ap- plying and meeting set standards, the student had a chance to attend either morning or afternoon classes. At Northfield, course requirements were fulfilled. This valuable training enabled a student to get employment after graduation from high school. % John Ross, Ron Rinearson, and Todd Burcroff work on the up- stairs of the house the Building Trades class is constructing.

Excellence was achieved through the FFA, which was ranked among the top 36 state chapters. Awards were numerous. Mr. Harts took FFA members to Chicago to visit the Chi- cago Board of Trade and the International Livestock Exposition. Special shop projects were employed by the Agri- cultural II class. Farm structures, a bus stop shelter, and a farm machinery building was finished. The boys also set up machinery for local dealers in Lagro. 43 Foreign Languages Resound From Room 1 1 1 Hands clutched the open books as spasms of mono- tone repeating drif ted from the mouths of beginning French and Spanish students. Vocabulary was stressed in the first year of these languages and more fluent speaking of the language was the goal of Spanish and French II and III. Every part of the ear strained to catch the meaning of native speeches heard on tapes in language library. The two languages became more nat- ural as it was the rule that only French or Spanish could be spoken in the class. Students perceived customs of the countries by reading French or Spanish Literature and viewing picture slides. Most students were known to make the ever-present suggestion that it would be nice if members of the class could visit these countries for an even greater insight into the customs.  Ebb -l- T«Sih_i n r ■ i K 1 U « f. k i 1 i vfUm J mum ' ' 1 fkj • • French II students ponder the perplexities of the language.

Mural Depicts NHS Life Portrayals of Norseman life were expressed on the east and west walls to give the art room a fresh, new look. Each student of Art III was given a chance to ex- press his own interpretation of Northfield life. Scenes of dancing students, and abstract Norsemen, 8:15 clocks, and treble clefs were included. The talents of art students were constantly utilized in school projects. Gay, dramatic posters adorned the bulletin boards. When the time was right for decorations, an art student was always on hand, adding a polished touch. Stage scenery for the spring musical Finian ' s Rainbow, was planned and produced by talented art students. Veronica Weisenberger skillfully molds clay into a pot. The product of many long, but enjoyable hours, the mural is a lasting portrait of school life. . .1IR il ' l QL m 1 Carol Dale and Diana Simpson model their formals for the style show and tea.

Classes Give Style Show A style show and tea was given by Mrs. Petty ' s Home Economic Class on April 9 in the foods room. Jumpers were modeled by the Eighth Graders and three-piece cot- ton suits by Home Economics I. The seniors showed formals, wool suits and dresses. Instead of a style show for the second semester, the girls engaged in a blue ribbon day. All home economics girls wore their garments with a blue ribbon. One eighth grade class held a party for neighborhood children. Each girl was responsible for one child. Stories were read to the children by Rosie Sweet and Tammie Sausaman. Toys that the girls had constructed were given to the children to play with. Mr. Piasik and Mr. Reahard are caught dividing pies to be eaten by the faculty after school. Ernie Holycross, Tom Dunphy, Scott Alber, Bruce Shaw and Stan Garriott prepare each piece of wood for the valet. Shop I Class Builds Colonial Valets Metals, woods, plastics, and foundry were a few of the many topics studied in the shop at Northfield. Each year the shop area has been improved with new equipment and supplies. Two new drafting machines and a spot welder for a band saw were installed. Drafting classes included a general drafting class, mechanical drawings, and architectural drawing. An attempt was made to organize an industrial arts club. This group made attractive Northfield license plates, which were sold at the home basketball games. Brad Bozarth assembles pieces while Bruce Shaw and Stan Gar- riott measure. A look in the mirror shows the phantom pho- tographer, Mr. Fansler, striking again. Students Jog, Bowl And Jump Miss Adair had her hands full when she taught sev- eral hundred girls in junior high and high school physi- cal education classes. To keep the girls in shape, courses were offered not only in girl ' s sports, but also in coed volleyball, bowling, physical fitness tests, and archery. Bulletin boards, posters, and films added interest to the physical education classes. Mr. White also kept busy by teaching junior and high school physical education to the boys. He en- couraged fitness by jogging, working on the mats, and other strenuous exercises. Northfield claimed approxi- mately twelve students who were eligible for the Presi- dent ' s Ail-American Physical Fitness Team. The test consisted of categories in running, jumping, sit-ups, pull- ups, and throwing softballs. The sophomore girls work together to form a pyramid in the gym.

Source Of All Subjects— The Library A haven for the curious or the weary, the library catered to 736 different interests. Whether for leisure reading, or intense research, the library provided both. As the end of the six-weeks grading period drew nearer, a flood of students filled the library to search for books to report on. Of the 5,800 bool s, one was usually found to fulfill the requirement. Speech and English students checked out magazines as sources for reports. These magazines were kept on file for five years. The vertical file was an aid to those writing term papers. Each folder contained pamphlets, newspaper and magazine clippings pertaining to the topic. A micro-film reader was available for use. Film-stirp viewers could also be enjoyed by individuals.

Council More Active, Powerful The Student Council strove to be an active organi- zation throughout the whole year, meeting on the first and third Monday of each month. A few representatives met in committee with members of the administration and the PTO to devise the dress code. A convocation was later given to the girls of the Student Body to ex- plain and demonstrate the provisions of the code. This year ' s Student Council activities included spon- soring a successful homecoming. The Homecoming Dance sponsored by the SC followed the Manchester game with the evening ' s opponents invited to attend. Though the evening weather did not co-operate, the candidates all looked lovely in their wool suits. During basketball season, SC set up and ran an effic- cient coat check. Prior to the Sectional, the SC spon- sored a Deck the Door contest. All classes were en- couraged to decorate their doors in competition for the valuable prizes to be given by the Student Council. This did much to increase school spirit. SC also sponsored two school convocations. A special project of landscaping the inner court was undertaken by the SC in co-operation with Mr. Dick Titus. At the Spring Awards Convocation, a portrait of Mr. Dawes was given to him in memory of his dedication to this community and school. Thus one can realize that the SC can no longer be tagged as just a Service Organization. Scholars Of School Recognized J On October 29, 1969, five seniors, nine juniors and the three foreign exchange students were inducted into National Honor Society. The National Honor Society promotes scholarship, leadership, citizenship and char- acter within Northfield High School. A tea was given after the induction to honor the new nnembers and their parents. The members of National Honor Society served as guides for the annual Back to School night sponsored by the PTO. Senior member, Mary Lou Hipskind won the County Elks Scholarship Award and then went on to win the State Scholarship Award. Leadership is a basic requirement of an Honor Society member.

Composed of a group of journalism students, the staff had a class each day with Mrs. Dorothy Squires acting as sponsor. During class time the students learned the basics of journalism, and applied work on the monthly paper. Students began the year by taking a tour of the Wa- bash Plain Dealer. There they learned more about the process of publishing a large daily newspaper and be- came acquainted with modern equipment and techniques. The North Star was honored by acceptance into the Quill and Scroll Society, an international organization for high school journalists. Members of the staff solicited ads to appropriate funds for the paper and at the end of the year used the remainder of the money for a staff party.

Yearbook Captures Memories Of NHS In 1970 Plans for the 1970 SHIELD were being made before school was dismissed. Problems of page allocation, theme development and financing were already becoming very real. In August, Susanne Guttrich attend the High School Journalism Workshop at Ball State University. Here she attended lectures and classes for two weeks. Exercises in writing copy and drawing page layouts were done by yearbook editors from all over the country. After all rough layouts were finished and pictures and copy was ready, a three-page carbon copy or tripli- cate was drawn up. Each page was then sent to the publisher. iVlembers of the journalism class and class editors supplied the written material. The sales campaign began in February and lasted through April. The annuals were sold for 36 and an additional dollar entitled students to have their name engraved on the cover. Pinatas Perk- Up Parties Mexico and Central America was the subject of a travelogue seen by the Spanish Club at Manchester High School. Complete with camel and donkey pinatas, a Christ- mas fiesta was held at Northfield on December 22. The evening began with a carry-in supper. Games were play- ed throughout the evening and the pinatas were broken. The club collected money during the December 17 home basketball game. Half of the amount was for- warded to the WOWO Penny Pitch, and the remainder of the money was given to Mrs. Arnold to be used in a local Christmas project.

Members Attend French Play Twenty-five French students met during the fourth Wednesday of each month to enjoy and learn French customs. Dues of $1 were paid by each of the members. Scholarship and service awards were available to quali- fied club members. Refreshments, games and fun comprised a Christmas party that was held at Mrs. Deck ' s home. Not only did the members have fun, but they pre- sented a service by collecting stamps to buy milk for hungry children in India. The campaign drive proved to be successful. Some of the club members and their sponsor attended the French play, Antigone at Manchester College. This play was presented by a theatrical group from Paris, Le Treteau de Paris, under the direction of Jean de Rigault. French club members make plans for their Christmas party. Math And Science Club Entertains P.T.O. The Math and Science Club, under the supervision of Mr. Graham, Mr. Reahard, and Mr. Grinstead, raised enough money from dues and concession sales to install a S60 Antenna Rotator System and a color television set for the Science Department. On the night of January 27, the club, which belongs to the Science Clubs of America, gave a science program for the P.T.O. meeting. Many people who attended the meeting found the program very interesting. Unlike the previous year, Northfield held a Science Fair in early March, where many students were given a chance to demonstrate their knowledge and interests.

Working during study halls and activity periods, the assistant librarians quickly learned the techniques and methods of keeping a library functioning properly. Checking out books, finding magazines, and replacing books in the correct order were a few of the many tasks a Library Club member performed. On Valentine ' s Day, the traditional pot-luck supper was enjoyed. Certificates and pins were awarded at a din ner in May.

Cole and Dyson Awards Given All the world ' s a stage ... and the Dramatics Club almost proved that this year, by developing a program which not only included the fall play UNDER THE GASLIGHT and the spring musical FINIAN ' S RAIN- BOW, but also included a traveling reader ' s theatre group which gave cuttings from SPOON RIVER AN- THOLOGY to many service orgranizations and NO ROOM IN THE HOTEL, a Christmas play which was presented to church groups and the junior high. Early in the spring, the club voted to establish some memorial awards to the two troupers who were killed in auto accidents. Thus, at an awards Oscar Night held May 27, the following awards were presented: Cole Award for Excellence in Acting-Keith Waggoner; Dyson Award for Technical Assistance— Alfred Young; Best Actor for the Year-Keith Waggoner; Best Supporting Actor-Bill Gant; Best Actress of the Year— Cindy Behny; Best Supporting Actress of the Year— Mary Lou Hipskind.

Speech Team Builds And Grows This year proved to be a building season for the Norse Speech Team as 40 mennbers actively partici- pated in ten regular season meets; 23 members com- peted in the sectional and four team members repre- sented Northfield in the regional meet. Dan Kirtlan, Cindy Behny, Susie Krom.and Mary Wiley traveled w ith Miss Durnbaugh and Miss King to Monticello to repre- sent the team in that competition. Northfield played host to twenty schools for an invi- tational meet in February and co-hosted a holiday meet over the Christmas holidays. In the spring, the junior high hosted an intra-school meet between the seventh and eight grades; 75 students participat ed. Again this was a year of work, but a year filled with team spirit and the satisfaction that it was a season well spent.

Through actual classroom teaching experiences, mem- bers of the Future Teachers Association learned more about the teaching profession. The eight senior members of the club were assigned to classes and subjects in which they held an interest. They were each under the direction of the teacher who permitted them to help individuals, observe class, and grade papers. Through this practice teaching , students could find out if they liked working with children. Ro- berta Haupert, Susan Metzger, Mary Lou Hipskind, and Linda Gohike visited elementary schools; while Janet Weaver, Brenda Monce, Dean Sparling, and Steve Dy- son worked in Northfield classrooms. A film on the subject of emotional problems in chil- dren was seen during an afternoon meeting. Miss Joan Beghtel told members about the rewards, possiblities and future of special education.

Careers In Health Are Studied The Future Health Careers Club was an organization with the purpose of preparing students for college or fu- ture training in the field of medicine. The club was given filnns and materials on information of medical careers. Northfield ' s chapter was involved in its second year of activity when a charter with the state organization was made. Plans were made for a field trip tour to the Eli Lilly Company of Indianapolis. The funds were made possible by the annual club dues of fifty cents. An increased membership was expected for the fol- lowing years. Sharon Polk, Rosalie Renz, David Stewart, and other members of the club met regularly on the first Wednesday of every month. ' ' ' 1 ajl Nine friars from St. Felix Friary in Huntington sang songs for the Easter Convocation on IVIarch 20. Girls Campaign For CROP During the first weeks of September, Tri-Hi-Y girls campaigned vigorously throughout the county for CROP. The effort was proclaimed successful with a col- lected sum of $300.26. Twenty-one new members were inducted into the Club with a candlelight ceremony. Joanie Smith and Dale Smith provided musical entertainment and a tea was served afterward. As in the past, the Tri-Hi-Y was responsible for plan- ning the annual Easter convocation for the student body. It ' s a Brand New Day and I am the Resurrec- tion were a few of the songs presented by nine friars from St. Felix Friary in Huntington. Accompanied by a 12-string guitar, the brothers sang of love, happiness, and joy. Students were given the opportunity to partici- pate in the chorus of The Witness Song.

Haupert Is No. 1 At State Girls interested in athletics and physical fitness could exercise their beliefs by joining the Girls ' Athletic Association. Tuesday nights after school, badnnintons, volleyballs, rackets, the horse, and the trampoline could be used by interested GAA members. The Northfield GAA sponsored a Sportsday and came in fourth in the district contest. Receiving the highest GAA honor was Theresa Haupert and Mary Yoder, who received state plaques at Purdue University on April 11 . At a state gymnastics meet in Munster, Brenda For- bes came in sixth in tumbling. During the Christmas season, the GAA did not re- main idle. Girls sang Christmas carols to patients in Stratford House, the County Home, and the Children ' s ward of the Wabash Hospital. Mary Yoder and Theresa Haupert display their state plaques.

N-Club Honors Athletes Consisting of all boys who earned their varsity letter in athletics, N-Club was an honorary organization. The existence of this club encouraged male athletes to be- conne better athletes. The N-Club assisted the intra- mural program along with the junior high and elementary programs. All coaches in either junior high or senior high athletics sponsored the program. To become a member, a boy had to earn a varsity letter for athletics. He then could apply for membership. After acceptance, he was expected to attend meetings, fulfill athletic department requirements and participate on at least one committee. An insignia could be pur- chased by the secretary. Senior members of the N-Club contacted local pa- trons for advertisements to pay for all programs for Northfield athletic events. Dennis Shellenbarger and Mike Sampson look over one of the programs provided by the N-Club for all football and basket- ball games. Norsettes Receive New Outfits Seventeen Norsettes and five twirlers added color and excitennent to the half-time shows performed on Northfield ' s Wilbur Dawes Field this fall. The girls donned new white mini-dresses with pleated skirts. Dur- the frigid football season, blue tights were gladly worn. Most second periods found the girls busy with re- hearsals for night performances. Hula hoops, lighted ba- tons and pom poms added variety and interest to the well-planned skits. At the half of the Mississinewa game, 13 of the Nor- settes performed a routine in the gym. Many enjoyed the performance, especially the boys ' cheerblock who loudly chanted, We want morel We want morel First year members received the chenille award and the senior members received loving cups.

Perhaps the most reward- ing time of the year was the high school concert band ' s placing at state contest. On April 18 at Knox High School, the concert band received the very high scores of 7, 7, 8, and 8. This placing made them the highest rated band in the state. Playing on the popular side of music was the stage band. At most home basketball games and the AFS Fish Fry, the group enlivened the atmosphere with back- ground music. A second placing was received by the group in January. The Junior High Band also earned a second place rating at contest.

In January, the two year old swing choir entered its 20 members in state division and received a first. Besides adding more members to the group, wooden stools were purchased to add variety to the choreography. The high schools girls ' ensemble was asked to perform for many groups in the county. The talented Eighth Grade Chorus received a first rating for their second straight year while the seventh graders also did well with a second rating. April 18th the Girls ' Glee Club and the High School Chorus traveled to Knox, Indiana, for their contest. De- spite the fact that they were placed in a higher division for larger schools, the Northfield groups sang their way to first placings. Celebrations followed with ice cream and cake in the cafeteria.

Cheerblock Sponsors Sleep-In Besides the weekly activity period practices, the ex- citing games, the crowded seats at Marion and those wonderful Saturdays at Columbia City and Elkhart, the girls will probably best remember the first Northfield Sleep-In. This event was sponsored by the Girls Cheer- block to help raise money for the cheerleaders and the members of cheerblock. On November 1 0, approximate- ly 175 girls checked into the school gym and cafeteria for a night of little sleep, but a wonderful time. Danc- ing, playing basketball, volleyball, eating, and various games kept everyone active until about 3 o ' clock. The gym was used as the sleeping area and was covered with sleeping bags and mattresses. Several girls did manage 2 or 3 hours of sleep until a breakfast of fresh, hot rolls and milk was served at 6:30. It is hoped that this can become an annual event. GIRLS CHEERBLOCK: Front Row: C.

' R. s m ■■1 t: 1 m Gridmen Fight To Overpower Foes Putting the pieces back together again was the major accomplishment of the 1969 Northfield football team. The big come back was necessitated by a disastrous early season which saw the Norse lose their first four games. Beginning with the Triton game, the Norse won four of their last six games, including three of their last four to salvage a respectable season. The 1969 addition of the Northfield football team will be remembered as a hard-working, never-say-die group who were not intimi- dated by either their difficult schedule or their early season losses.

Frosh Crush Hunting- ton For Single Victory Despite the lone victory out of seven tries, Coach Errol White ' s freshmen gridders gained valuable game experience for future seasons. Stiff competition such as North Miami, Maconaquah and Peru denied the Norse Powerhouse to score during these particular three games. The freshmen played against four Jr. Varsity teams, all of which had more experience and power. Several games werealmost won but good teams such as Peru and Man- chester held the Norse from the goal post. Coach White noted an improvement later in the season. Although the record stood at 1-7, the enthusiasm and the desire to win was evident among the players and fans.

Norse Harriers Rebuild For Upcoming Season Crosscountry at Northfield in 1969 was built around thirteen boys— including only five lettermen. All except Ernesto Cortabarrio, exchange student, were underclass- men. Coach Harold Christie indicated that the team rea- lized that Cross Country was more than just a sport, more than mere competition, more than getting in con- dition—they knew it as a whole experience. He was proud to associate with the boys throughout the season. Although their record did not show as many wins as they would have liked. Coach Christie forsaw an out- standing 1970 Cross Country season at Northfield. Front Row: EcJciie Holycross, David Lef forge. Coach Christie, Mike Knobiock, Bob Kisner.

We started the season with two losses, but fired back and won the next two. For the first ti me in Northfield history, the track team won their first triangular meet by downing Akron and Mentone. The mile and 880 relay teams qualified for the Huntington Sectional, but were beaten. Cham- pion hurdler Steve Ahlfeld, receiver of the Most Valuable Trackman Award, won the high hurdle matches 98 per- cent of the time and represented NHS at the Fort Wayne Regional. In simple terms this year ' s team was great! The freshmen will also be a group to watch. In the eight school Land-0-Lakes Invitational Meet at Warsaw, Robert Kisner won first and set a new record of 2:07 in the half mile run. The Mile Relay team -Phil Schnepp, Mike Knoblock, Bob Kisner, and Dennis Guttrich-won a second, and Phil Schnepp placed second in both the 100 and 220 yard dashes. man.Jeff Culver, Kelly Stephens.

Trophies Awarded To Outstanding Baseball Players No sooner were school classes dismissed, than the Northfield baseball diamond became a common place for fans of that all American sport. The first part of the 1969-70 baseball season started slowly, but as en- thusiasm built up momentum, the team finished with three good games and likewise, a good season. Baseball awards were presented at the Fall Sports Award Banquet. Randy Unger, shortstop, received the fielding trophy for committing the least number of errors while fielding. Keith Koch won the batting trophy with a .437 batting average. Rick Baker won the pitch- ing trophy and Gary Wilson won the RBI trophy for bringing in 21 runs.

For Each One: A Ditteient Expression If a- man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. -WALDEN, Henry David Thoreau -M i SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Steve Dyson, Vice. Pres.; Tom Bever, Secretary; Craig Pankop, Treasurer; Darl Hall, President. Of all the awards, becoming valedictorian or salutatorian was the highest honor anyone could receive in high school. Mary Lou Hipskind was named valedictorian with the highest grade average of the 1970 senior class. Darl Hall and Kristi Corn had the next highest averages and were named co-salutatorians. To obtain this honor a student had to be consistently studious all through high school. Left to right: Kristi Corn, Darl Hall, Mary Lou Hipskind. Senior Dignitaries Head Class The events of the senior year, both exhilarating and despressing, brought the class of 1970 closer together. Nostalgia prevailed as the last time for this and the last time for that was acknowledged. Congregating in T. I. Whistler ' s garage, the class con- structed a winning float for Homecoming. A double re- ward was the crowning of senior Carol Dale as home- coming queen. Basketball season began with a bang. The six outstand- ing seniors on the varsity team helped to make an impressive 22-2 record. An oil portrait of retiring principal Mr. Dawes was presented on Awards Day. A sectional winning banner and a watercooler were also gifts of the class. Mr. Gordon Ridenour hypnotized several volunteers at the class party. David Keppel displayed his skill at milking cows and Gary Wilson proved to be a champion dancer and cake baker. A time of conflicting emotions was felt by many on May 22, 1970. For some, graduating was a blessed relief and joy; for others it was a time of sadness, memories, and bewilderment. Ernie Cortabarria was 17 years old and like many Amer- ican teen-agers, loved the sport— basketball. Ernie came from Durasno, Uraguay, a city 50 miles from the capital, Montivedeo. His father was an agricultural engineer and supervised a 1 ,000 acre ranch. Ernie had one sister who was 15. Ernie enjoyed: cross-country, giving talks to church groups, and studying the English language in Mrs. VanCamp ' s room. Ernie ' s host parents were Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Schenkel. Exchange Students Attend NHS The youngest of Northfield ' s exchange students was Matthias Wehrstedt. Matt came from Braunschweig, West Germany, a city not far from the Iron Curtain. His father and uncle owned a small factory which manu- factured tin cans. Matt had two brothers, Toby, 12, and Olaf, 9. Matt participated in the math and science trip to Chicago, his electronics science project, and swing choir. His interests included photography, soccer, and basketball. Matt ' s host parents were Mr. and Mrs. Clar- ence Keppel. A Filipino, Conrad Babst was the last exchange stu- dent to arrive in America. Conrad ' s impression of Northfield was one of friendly people and wide, open country. His mother, Argynsia, was a housewife and his father, Chester, was a banker. His brothers and sisters were Vicky, 25; Alex, 23, who worked in a chemical bank in New York; Arlene, 20, a college junior; and Eric, 8, a student in the second grade. Swimming and basket- ball were the outside activities Conrad enjoyed. His American parents were Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Dyson. 103 ANDERSON, NIKKI LYNN: Cheerblock 1; GAA 2-3; Guidance Office 4; North Star 3; Shield Staff 2-3-4; Tri-Hi-Y 2-3-4.

Juniors Give Prom In May Moving up into the upper-classmen category, tlie ju- niors were involved in an action-packed year. In Septem- ber, LuAnn Yentes was chosen and supported as a candi- date for homecoming queen. She sat on a second prize- winning float, Alice in Wonderland. Selling magazines provided the treasury with money for the Prom and Commencement. Square rings with a unique design were gladly received by the class in October. The red rose was chosen as the class flower and the motto was If we can ' t find a way, we ' ll make one. Orchid, royal purple and pink reigned as the class colors and prevailed at the Junior-Senior Prom. Sayonara , meaning goodby in Japanese, served as the theme for the May happening.

Sophomores Select Square Rings The sophomore class members, sponsored by Mr. Winegardner, Mrs. Cooper, and Mr. Piasik, were kept very busy throughout the school year. The first monu- mental task was the construction of the homecoming float. Diane Dawson made the theme Cinderella com- plete. The float consisted of an orange pumpkin drawn by two rocking horses. Perhaps the most memorable time of the year came with the ordering of class rings. The class officers se- lected the square rings; then each individual chose the style, color, and size. The year was climaxed with a class party held in the cafeteria April 17.

Freshmen Enter New Status Since first entering the halls of Northfield High School as greenhorns in September, we have long since learned to find our way around the big corral. As ninth graders we were entitled to many more curricular and extra-curricular activities. Among these we especially en- joyed attending the high school convocations, high school dances, and participating in high school organi- zations. As freshmen, we had the opportunity to choose a freshman representative for homecoming queen. Tam- my Leiand, a lovely candidate, rode atop our float en- titled Snow White. We enjoyed a class party on May 6. We are looking forward to exploring the new trails of our sophomore year.

These were frequently held after ball games with nearly the entire class in attendance. The class party on April 24 began with fun, games, and plenty of food. It was topped off with more games and dancing. One outstanding eighth grader was Becky Thrush who won the Kiwanis Spelling Bee. Other prominent students were band and chorus officers. Mario Swope and Kerry Keffaber presided over the choral groups. Kerry also served as President of the band with Lane Custer as Vice-President. Jeff Mast and Cathy Yentes served as secretary and treasurer for the band. EIGHTH GRADE CLASS OFFICERS: Kerry Keffaber, Pres., Mario Swope, Sect, and Treas.; Karen Helvey, Vice Pres.

The seventh grade ' s representative for the Kiwanis Spelling Bee was Robin Deeter. The runner-up was Caria Eilts. Robin also was the runner-up for the Journal Gazette Spelling Bee. The Class of ' 75 held their class party iVIonday night, May 11, from 6:30 to 9:30. The evening started out with group relays outside on the track. Most of the people seemed to enjoy themselves, even though it had just rained and the ground was still wet. Food was then served; the class enjoyed hamburgers, french fries, and cokes. To wrap up the party, the students returned to gym for basketball, listening to records and dancing. On May 8, 45 seventh graders got a taste of future competition in high school speech meets. Audie Wiley received a first in his reading of A. A. Milne ' s Christopher Robin poems. SEVENTH GRADE CLASS OFFICERS: Lori Flohr, Vice Pres.; Andy Deeter, Pres.; Lori Ogan, Sect.-Treas.

This class was pro- vided for the student who found difficulty in the work of a regular class. Two of the boys were enrolled in Vocation- al School. One boy worked in Foods Service and another boy was enrolled in the Practical Works Class. Each student attended at least one regular class and two boys spent their noon hours work- ing the school kitchen. An annual Christmas Party was held in Room 201 the day before Christmas Vacation. Refresh- ments, games, and a gift exchange were enjoyed. %33 130 Administration Studies Modular Scheduling Northfield ' s enrollment totaled 736. Ennployees of the Metropolitan School District included a superinten- dent, and assistant; counselors; librarians; speech and hearing therapists; teachers; bus drivers; custodians; health and food service personnel; library, reading, and teacher aides; secretaries and bookkeepers. A new elementary school was started this year, and after some controversy was named Metro-North. A study of modular scheduling was made. This schedule would divide the school day into 13 to 15 class periods of 20 to 25 minutes each. A bad weather plan was established. Bus driver cap- tains notified Supt. Wade by 6:30 a.m. If a majority of the drivers indicated that they were unable to make the route, Supt. Wade then called radio stations WARD and WOWO. SUPERINTENDENT LAWRENCE WADE: B.S.

Mr. Dawes Retires As Principal During the 1969-1970 school year, Mr. Dawes referred to himself several times as a senior. From his first schooling in a one-room school at Half Acre to a junior-senior high school of 30 teaching stations and 40 teachers, Mr. Dawes rapidly became a land-mark of the community. After an eighth grade diploma from Half Acre, he earned a diploma from Urbana High School in 1922. He received his teachers ' license from Man- chester College in 1924 and a B.S. degree in 1934. In the year 1948 he received a masters ' degree from Ball State University. In 46 consecutive years, he taught grades 4, 5, and 6; high school math, science, and physical education. He coached for nine years, served as principal of Urbana, and f i n a I I y— he became principal of Northfield. Not often does a man know the effects of his work in his own lifetime. Mr. Dawes certainly has had a posi- tive effect on most homes in this community that will continue into future years. Mr. and Mrs. Dawes receive fishing rods and reels from the Northfield faculty at a retirement dinner May 1. Mr. and Mrs. Dawes and Mr. and Mrs. Wade attend the Junior- Senior Prom. MR. WILBUR DAWES: B.S. Manchester College, M.A. Ball State University. Faculty Attends Teacher ' s Institute In October Under the supervision of wise and experienced instructors, the Northfield students received one of their most prized possessions, KNOWLEDGE. IVlost faculty members attended Teacher ' s Institute or other workshops, to keep up-to-date with the current advancements made in their particular field. After classes weredismissed for the day, many teach- ers remained at school to grade papers, prepare for the next day, or make out tests and lesson sheets. Frequent- ly the teachers held meetings to discuss forthcoming events on problems that arose. Even though they were busy, most teachers were willing to talk to their students and were happy to help in times of need. The purpose of the teacher ' s extra time and effort was to further the student ' s knowledge in a specific field and to prepare the student for the adult life. MR. RICHARD SHEPHERD: B.S.

Harold Chatlosh took countless pictures of Northfieid activities. Listing the pages where a Plain Dealer picture appears would be tedious and lengthy. Mrs. Norma Mil- ler filed all Northfieid pictures in a special folder for the SHIELD. Mrs. Erieen Ulrey did many of our school write ups for the Plain Dealer and also worked with our student writers, Rita Dale and Janet Weaver. We are indebted to the Marion Chronicle Tribune for for the pictures of the Grant County Tourney appearing on pages 24, 70, 71 , and 90. The following people deserve recognition for making the SHIELD complete. JOURNALISM CLASS AND MRS. SQUIRES for copy and pictures. KATHY STIEGLITZ for art work on cover and theme pages. WAYNE FANSLER for taking much-needed pictures. DICK KENNARD, Newsfoto Yearbooks representative, for helping design the cover, giving encouragement and advice. MATTHIAS WEHRNSTEDT for photographic assistance. CYCLONE SEEDER MANUFACTURING COMPANY INC. for funds for Teresa Vrooman and Jill Hipskind to one week workshop at Ball State University. NORTH STAR for funds for Kathy Stieglitz for one week workshop at University of Detroit. . . . and a special thank-you to Mrs. Marvin Mast, whose help and support cannot be measured. The 1970 SHIELD consists of 144 pages in dull ena- mel paper. The heading style used is Cairo Bold 1 1 CLC. The Theme page and headlines are italicized Cairo Bold. The SHIELD is a summer delivery yearbook and is pub- lished by Newsfoto Yearbooks in San Angelo, Texas.
