It wasn ' t long be- fore they found out. At the stu- dent body assembly the first day, the new principal, Tom Miller, ex- pressed his optimistic view of the coming school year and stressed the three characteristics he hoped the student body would develop . . . spirit, pride, and sportsman- ship.

Vocational 45 • iw ' ' And YOU were there Northfield ' s history teachers definitely have a way of making one feel as though he was right there at the battle scene, court trial, or presidential election. From seventh grade to the time when one reaches seniordom , he is offered or required to take such courses as Indiana History, Geog- raphy, U.S. History, Asian History, Psychology, World History, Gov- ernment, and Economics. Learning about the early beginnings to present-day situations is what his- tory is all about. 1. Mr. Rex Price has the extreme privi- lege of teaching the senior Government and Economics classes. He is also the se- nior class sponsor. 2. Mr. Craig Winegardner (no relation to Patrick Henry) primarily teaches the junior U.S. History classes, but also has a few world history classes. He is the coach of the varsity baseball team too. ff 3. The history department was helped out by student teacher, Mr. Fairchild, from Manchester College.

Even before the 78-79 school year began the Northfield cheer- leaders were getting fired up at various cheerleading camps. They were preparing for a year which was to be filled with pride and spirit. The cheerleaders cheered the Norse through a super year of sports and kept spirit alive at pep sessions. They also decorated the trophy case for sectional and the boys ' lockers throughout the year. From the seventh grade cheer- leaders to the varsity cheerleaders, Northfield was well represented at football and basketball games. These girls should be con- gratulated for their endless efPorts to maintain the spirit, pride, and sportsmanship at NHS. vl.

Led by a fine group of seniors, the Norse won early season upset games from Southwood and West- field.

During the first few practices, the young Norse became aware of the basics necessary to become successful gridders. Stances, flexibilitie s, plays, sprints, huddles, and teamwork became a part of their regular day. On of- fense, tackles, the center, and guards did an excellent job open- ing holes for our fine runners. The defense showed the fans they were improving by playing out- standing defensive games against Akron, Southwood, and Manches- ter. One member of the staff , manager Albro Daniel, deserves great thanks for his dedication to the team. —Coach Jim Wenrich The Northfield eighth grade football season proved to be ex- citing and educational, as the young Norse compiled a 2-4 record. The big play proved to be the villian of the Norse as they fell victim to Caston, North Miami, and Southwood in their gridiron encounters. Looking to the future, those victories achieved over Wa- bash and Akron along with the de- fensive play shown during the sea- son, should prove to be the incentive for these players to con- tinue their career in the program. — Coach Joe Groover = 2.

Working with such a fine group of girls makes coaching a very rewarding and en- joyable position. -Coach Theresa Honeycutt The J.V. team had a tremendous season this year compiling a record of 9-1. Freshman Laurie Rice led the girls in spikes and Julie Rensbarger led in overall points scored. A great amount of success can be attributed to the J.V. bench: Susan Rice, Debbie Shear, and Tammy Thompson. These girls supported the team in every as- pect of the game.

I feel our 13-9 record was not really indicative of what we could have been, based on the fact that we lost some very, very close ballgames. The seniors should be commended for the fine job that they did: Wilcox, Dawes, Vrooman, Shafer and Biehl. They are the ones who are responsible for turning Northfield ' s Basketball around.

This year ' s junior varsity team had an excellent record consid- ering their size. Seven of the eight players should have been playing as guards, but by the end of the season they had experienced other positions also. Statistically speaking, we were not strong. We averaged a score of about 23 points per game. However, our opponents averaged only 24 points per game, so the girls did come through when the game was close, especially when it counted. —Coach Lucy Dundore 3. Each girl must practice hard and de- velop her own skills, along with having a determination to win.

Jr. High Girls VVork Hard The 1979 7th grade girls ' basket- ball team was made up of twenty enthusiastic girls who were eager to learn how to play basketball. Some were experienced players who needed to polish up their game but the majority of the girls didn ' t know a lay-up from a home run. The girls had to get busy and prac- tice before the first big game. Be- ing at the bottom of the athletic totem pole at Northfield, the 7th grade girls practiced during the early evenings. The girls quickly learned that basketball is a run- ning game. Twenty laps around the gym floor built up the girls endur- ance. We worked on such skills as passing, dribbling, learning lay-ups and defense and offense patterns. Hard practice paid off. The girls won two games and lost six close games. More importantly, they learned how to work together as a team and they had fun! — Coach Roberts The 1979 8th grade team was made up of 14 hard working girls. They were enthusiastic and willing to participate: two good character- istics. These girls practiced and practiced on the basic funda- mentals of basketball. They learn- ed offensive and defensive patterns. The girls should be commended for their improvement and fine attitudes. -Coach Monte Moffett m M i i M 4 } V ' «%- fv. rw mm J i Jt JK % M A A W ' lOfilH ' lr, ] m M wi iM sMIW f, l I H M f% v ittL P%| | St I ' 1 W OnW ,-,, J l«(lI iHf(f;j« I (UlMHI.

School records were set for both nine and eighteen hole matches. They are now 162 for nine holes and 338 for 18. Individual high- lights included: Jeff Draper ' s third place finish in the County, sixth place in the Conference, and his low score for the season in the Sectional; Tony Holman ' s third place finish with an 83 in the Con- ference; Nate Vrooman ' s fourth place in the County, ninth in the Conference, and low score of 86 in the Sectional; Gary Trump ' s 87 in the Sectional; and Dave McKenzie ' s 90 in the Conference. The Norse capped their season with a very respectable eighth place finish in the Sectional. The young Norse JV also had a good season. Their record was 3- 4. They capped off their season by winning the County tournament. The JV team included: Mike Sweet, Jim Holmes, Scott Titus, Paul Woodward, Bruce Trump, Stan Kirtland, Beth Squires, Jamie Krom, and Greg Metz. -Coach Steve Desper 94 Golf .ar Keeping In Shape A vital part of any athletic pro- gram is the conditioning process that the athlete must go through. From the jump rope to the mini- leaper, boys and girls in all grades and every sport have access to the various types of training equip- ment found in the weight lifting room. These facilities are available to students all year round. North- field ' s weight training program is well equipped and offers much to the athlete. ff6. Jenny Draper works out on the mini- leaper to improve her jumping ability in basketball. «7.

They submit a written report to the North Central Office after giving a brief oral re- port to the school. Classroom pro- grams, facilities, equipment, and other aids were reviewed by the committee. Suggestions for improve- ment were offered during the three days they were at NHS. Mr. Bill Neale was in charge of N.C.E. The men behind the scenes each school year are known as the school board members, or the Board of Education. These men combined their efforts and energies to keep NHS in session during the long, hard winter last year when Snow days seemed to be so popular. « 1.

Many privileges and honors were be- stowed upon the seniors for the first time here at Northfield. The seniors were allowed an official se- nior skip-out day on May 4th for which most of the class mem- bers went to a breakfast at Jim Dandy ' s then spent the rest of the day at the reservoir or a friend ' s home. For being the only class to have perfect attendance twice, the seniors were allowed to leave at noon the last day before Christ- mas vacation. And just for being seniors, they were allowed to sit on the floor during convos in the auditorium and could leave early during activity periods at the end of the day. The class of ' 79 also went to work raising class pride and school spirit by wearing their Senior Spirit buttons all year and their T-shirts with the class members ' names on them. They also had Class of ' 79 key chains. The 17th graduating class of Northfield is now gone, but their good times, memories, and experi- ences will always live on at NHS. Class officers were: Lisa Beals, president; Jeff Draper, vice president; Rlionda IVlow- ery, secretary; and Slieila Wilson, treasurer. LALON E.

The junior class was involved in a very active year. Lori Beals and Jeff Mowery were chosen as Homecoming court members. They also combined their efforts to sell $6000 worth of magazines and records. As the year progressed they began plans for the Junior- Senior Prom. Too Much Heaven was the theme. The colors of the sunset were chosen as the class colors and the yellow rose and peach daisy were the favorite for the class flowers. Cheering their way through the year were Diane Swart, Patty Plant, Nora Yentes, and Ann Breedlove who showed their spirit as junior cheerleaders. Tammy Deeter, Diane Swart, Patty Plant and Dana Dawes were active as student council representatives. Believing in their motto, What the future holds for us depends on what we hold for the future, the class of ' 80 had a year full of learning and fun. lib Juniors HJJRBPfR Tammy Deeter, Cambi Rensberger, Julie Stem, and Mariann Meyer were the top magazine sellers in the junior magazine sales last fall. The magazine sales help finance the prom in the spring. This year records and tapes were sold along with the magazines to help boost the sales.

Things like making friends and joining activities came a little more natural and easier. The class of ' 83 had one sock hop in February. Their sponsors were Mr. Neale and Mr. Coppler. May 17th was the date of the class party. They all had fun danc- ing, playing volleyball, and shoot- ing baskets. The eighth grade class is now looking forward to their first year of high school next year. 126 Eighth Grade Penelope Frank Diana Frieden Mike Gardner Cynthia Gautschi Casey Gidley Jodean Gifford Diane Gray Rachel Grossman Paul Gullett Gina Guttrich Rhonda Guyer Robert Haupert Harland Haupert Stephen Hawkins Frank Hayslip Tim Hinrichsen Bill Hmrichsen Kenny Hite Joyce Hively Carma Hobbs Clayton Hollenback Cathy Hoppes Henry Joy Steve Kirtlan Vicki Knott Roger Kunkel Tamara LaFerney Michael Lauer Scott Linsburg Laura Longe Jenny Mason Mandy McCammack Barb McCoy Brian McNabney Jane McNeeley Susie McVoy Cynthia Miller John Miller Mitzi Miller Steve Miller Todd Miller Ami Milton Donald Music John Newcomer Julie O ' Dell Mandy Ogan Michael Orpurt Shawn Overman Richard Palmer Dick Parker Juanita Patton Debra Phillips Kelli Phillips Jeff Prater Kimberly Preston Beth Proctor John Proctor Russell Quillen Kimberly Quinn Robert Ringel Lee Risher Tim Roberts Paula Rogers Eighth Grade 127 Dee Ann Schlemmer Davon Shepherd Scott Siders Rhonda Simpson Richard Simpson Lisa Smith Amy Snyder Joy Southworth Pamela Spradlin Teresa Spradlin Andrew Stefanatos Mary Stevens Sandra Sturgill Carol Swihart Felicia Terrel Doug Tester Tammy Tucker Trisha Tyner Jackie Vigar Cathy Ward Denise Warford Tim Weitzel Rae Jean Weller Clark Wendt Lori White Lori Wilson Stacie Wolfrum Kevin Womack Amanda Wrisk Tim Wuensch James Yentes Roberta Yocum = 1.

Students scurry down the hails with growling stomachs and ask, What are we having for lunch? Often the answer just brings a sigh, but when pizza is an- nounced students race to the cafeteria and lines are long. Most students consider lunch the highlight of the day, but that isn ' t the main action in the lunch- room! Cooks were: Shirley Keaffa- ber, Phyllis Meyer, Cecile Prit- chard, Judy Rhoades, Betty Tackett, Mary L. Titus, Sharon Singer and Carolyn Vrooman, head cook. (1) The custodians for this year were: Ed Lewis, head custodian, Mary Brewer, Pat Collins, Gary Coburn, Francis Harris, Tony Hunt and John Rose. They were busy checking room temperatures, mowing lawns, sweeping halls, fix- ing lawns and working through the summer. They should be com- mended for doing a great job . . . especially tearing stickers off lockers. 132 Cooks and Janitors 2.

Pride, and Sportsmanship! Closing 155 No More Iced Tea! After 156 pages, some 470 pic- tures, captions, unidentified faces, and unending copy to write, we, the co-editors of the 1979 Shield, do hereby declare ourselves in states of permanent disorder and physical deterioration, along with being tea-aholics and chocolate cornflake cookie freaks. We now dedicate our minds, bodies, and kidneys to medical research to dis- cover the motive behind that never-ending desire to produce a fantastic, flawless, and far-out and funky yearbook. Now the serious part ... We wish to thank all those people who made it possible— Thank You! Mr. Werking, thanks for all the pic- tures and your unending patience with us. To our families: we couldn ' t have done it without you, your support, and your typing skills! Kathryn Tiede, you were the MVP of the Shield staff with your pictures. JefP Draper, thanks for all the help on the ads, indexing, and identifying. Last, but not least, we thank Mrs. Kitt for con- stant concern and help she gave us. We ' ll never forget those nights we were up into the wee hours of the morning typing and drawing up finals to meet a deadline the next day. We now leave a little wiser, more patient, and less naive. To whoever gets this job next year . . . good luck, don ' t go crazy, watch the iced tea, those late nights, and beware of the foreign film. But most of all, DON ' T GIVE UP! Our love to you all, o eij mxihj I ' lTfi mnm nrmiiMji 9 •-ST fil
