SVOULGUVS Wel SCWOUL WW OP BWAYIOW Some people feel it's the adminis- tration that keeps the school going. But that's not all true. Where would the Administration be without the student body? Let's just say without the stu- dents there would be no need for a school and no need for an Administra- ion either. For these and many other reasons the students keep this school going. But wait! When we say school, do you think of all that homework you have piling up and papers to write Maybe we're forgetting all the fun that comes along with school. The extra- curricular activities at home and at school, all these little extra events make up our lives and keep this school going. Let's take a look at the Student Life atN.H.S. erious and lighter moments are recalled ots Barb Hart and Holli Hamilton. STUDENT LIFE 7

Trampoline artist Ron Smith coaxes Mr. Paul Wilkey into trying his skill while Dean Miller grins encouragement. == Mid-air somersaults and flips are executed by Ron Smith in a fast moving convocation. Local, Outside Talent Displayed Candlelight procession began the halfhour Christmas concert given by the combined choirs of Northridge. New and old favorite carols were sung for the student body. The program closed with the traditional 'Hallelujah Chorus. ’ Convocations planned by the Student Council included Ron Smith, a former junior Olympian trampoline artist. He not only performed series of solo stunts effortlessly, but also involved school staff members. Dr. Lynn Bollinger bravely tried out his trampoline skill, as did Mr. Steve Muck, Mr. Bob Heign, Mr. Paul Wilkey, Miss Gail Moody and Mr. Charlie Martin. One last look at the Bicentennial was provided by a multi-media entitled Count Me In. It took a more human view of Revolutionary history, featur- ing humorous elements like a nightly news broadcast from 1775. Student volunteers acted out parts and assisted in the technical aspects of the produc- tion. Aspiring actor and staff lecturer of the American Revolution Bicent en- nial Committee, Jerry Falcone led the lively revue. He urged young people to create a better world, to truly bring people together, and to contribute to the progress of our nation. Mime artist Bruce Rathbun enacted scenes from everyday life entirely in mime, holding his audience spell- bound for almost an hour. He portrayed 'The Concert,’ silently playing several instruments in the orchestra, ''The Balloon Man, ’ ''Pro Golf,'' and his most mefmorable act, ''Boxed in. ’ Popular songs were played and sung by the Purdue Variety Band. Interpre- tations by their dancers included selections from the Broadway musical The Wiz,'' which was accompanied by the band and vocalists. STUDENT LIFE 9
