Raitiy Rain Go Away The Norsemen Homecoming was held on Sept. 17. The Norse battled the Pion eer Panthers. Unfortunately the Panthers overpowered us to win 42 to 0. Before the game, the band performed a number in which the band formed a Pacman and a letter P . The P was then eaten by the Pac-man. Rain threatened the game from the start and in the second half the clouds finally burst. Luckily the rain held off long enough for the half- time activities to be competed. Lisa Smith was crowned Homecoming Queen for 1982. After the game stu- dents attended the dance. Those who went enjoyed an evening filled with music and dancing. Homecoming week allowed stu- dents to show their spirit by having a special dress for each day. Classes competed against each other to win the Spirit Stick . Each day the num- ber of students that participated in the activities were tallied. The Senior class won the Spirit Stick . We had Stuff em ' , Toga, Western, Occupa- tional, and 50 ' s days. On Friday an hour long Pep session was held for the team. The cheerleaders performed to music and did a skit on the different types of football players. Students competed in a balloon toss, a Twist Off , and a race where the football players were TP ' ed. Above, right: The mighty Norse battled the Pioneer Panthers.

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!
