When students arrived at NHS the first day, pande- monium broke out. Friends who hadn ' t seen each other all summer got reacquainted, kids swapped stories about their summer, and girls caught up on the latest gossip. On the first day of school the teachers didn ' t really expect to get much done. The seventh graders were too scared, the eighth and ninth were too rowdy, the sophomores and juniors were too mature , and the seniors were too busy trying to establish control. It was the start of another fun, but challenging year. Northfield, although small with a student body of 700, competes with schools two and three times larger than itself and still comes out on top in many areas. Each year we have students who receive local, state, and national recognition. Many of our students win scholarships and awards for vocational and academic achievements throughout the year. We consistently have one of the largest FFA chapters in the state and our band and choir can outplay and outsing the best of them. Our successes are aided by teachers and adminis- tration who encourage us to actively participate in all school functions. The 1982-83 school year started out by having a fog delay the first day of school. We had one fog cancella- tion and only one snow day which came on March 21st. 1 1 flllll m w J Above: Scott Palmer, Toni Miller, and Mark Krom look like three real cool dudes. Left: Go Big Blue!
