OPENING 3 New York City is sometimes referred to as The Big Apple. Hundreds of miles and several states to the west is another place unique in its variety and opportu- nity, a small high school located on a ridge overlooking an apple orchard . . . Nor- thridge is the little apple with a big core. We are a little apple in terms of student body population compared to other area schools; yet there is much more here than first meets the eye, just as the core of an apple is hidden. Seeds for the future include structural additions to our present building, which are under construction and due to open soon. A growing commu- nity, potential for positive school spirit, and expanding programs are also at the core. New four-classroom wing to the east was begun last summer, and Is expected to be ready for use by late spring. . . . The Little Apple With the BIG Core Class cheers were popular, as the girls of the class of ' 80 demonstrate. View from Highland Hills includes the town water tower, a favorite object of graffiti. 4 OPENING Fences and restricted areas separated students and workmen during the construction period. W f rf _ - ■ Wi ' || - r ' jJKTuN m ■ More intormal atmosphere contributed to wider student use of the Materials Center; Val Weaver and Sara Nusbaum prepare research papers while others read magazines or talk quietly. OPENING 5 AT THE CORE: STUDENT LIFE Named Homecoming Queen, Angie Miller receives her crown from Randy Troyer; Rollin Brenneman and escort Randy Miller watch. In spite of cancellations and post ponements due to bad weather, spe- cial events like homecoming, the semi-formal, the prom and graduation highlighted our year. Everyday life adjusted and went on; student life was still at the core. The front lobby is center of activity during noon hour, and especially during Spirit Week. 6 STUDENT LIFE Preparation of the refreshments for the Semi- formal occupy the thoughts of Mrs. Leonard Beechy, Donya Houser and Debi Hawkins, as they check the table. f m -A. x A I lK Hilt T 1h si- - ' M 1 1 iB® Hct- ■ r f38 K9c -■ ; ' ' | ..

STUDENT LIFE 7 Trend -Setters Fads, fads, fads. That ' s what the year was composed of. New trends developed including everything from T-shirts and belt buckles to three- piece suits and skirts with scarves. While some styles became shorter others got longer. As hair lengths moved off the shoulder, dresses moved down to the knee. The booming business of movies has contributed many things to the mania. Posters, T-shirts, necklaces, and toys have been brought about by this industry. In addition to all of these, Star Wars, Saturday Night Fever, Rocky, and You Light Up My Life earned bundles from their sound tracks. There was a lot of talking going on, and there was plenty to talk about. The new attendance policy was a never-ending topic of discussion. Should an attendance grade be issued? Is it fair to deduct points for an illness? These questions and more were asked, and the answers were debated. Students running have always been a part of the after-school atmosphere. The teachers got into the swing of things by organizing a physical fitness program which included dance and running exercises. The winter temperatures were low, and so were the thermostats. A strike by coal miners caused an energy crunch. Major reductions were man- datory and affected everyone. School halls were darkened as nearly one- thousand bulbs were removed to aid in the conservation. The cutback created a new atmos- phere, and so did all the other trends of 1977-1978. Dresses, pantsuits, skirts and scarves made an impression on the fashion scene at Northridge. Jodie Yoder, Lynette Troyer, Kathy Troyer, Mar- ianne Stafford, and Gail Stark boogie down to music played in the lobby. The America concert, impressionable enough to be on a T-shirt, is discussed by Kim Burn and Lori Adamson. 8 STUDENT LIFE Close Encounters of the Third Kind proved to be another Sci-fi hit. Personal preferences In rock groups are shown on some belt buckles. Dressing-up and dressing-down were popular with Kirby Richards, Jeff Pletcher, Ron Biller, Craig Yoder, Kerry Cripe, Curt Yoder, Mike Brumley, and Denise Ryman. Saturday Night Fever was noted for its danc- ing and disco soundtrack. STUDENT LIFE 9 Victory in the Rain Homecoming was memorable for the drenching rainfall; however, it didn ' t dampen the spirit of the Raider team, who defeated Jimtown 00-06. Highlighting the half-time of the football game was the homecoming parade which started with Miss Mid- dlebury, Cheryl Schrock. The presen- tation of floats and class representa- tives followed. Finally, the queen can- didates from the senior class were introduced. The fans and candidates alike waited for the announcements of the winners of the float competition and queen contest. The float con- structed by the Class of ' 78 was judged to be the best and Angie Miller was crowned homecoming queen. CANDIDATED FOR QUEEN: Chris Yoder with escort Carl Yoder, Queen Angie Miller with escort Randy Miller, Carol Snyder with escort Todd Wyse, and Barb Hart and escort Gene Troyer (not pictured). ■Star Wars inspired the Junior class float and their slogan, The Force Is With the Raiders. The Spy Who Loved Me was the Freshman Sophomores chose The Longest Yard for class float theme. their theme. 10 STUDENT LIFE Seniors won the float competition with their ver- sion of Jaws, which encouraged the Raiders to Chew ' Em Up. CLASS REPRESENTATIVES: Junior Tracy Peter- sen with escort Tony Fingerle, Sophomore Tami Troyer with escort Bob Heign, and Freshmen Paula Wallace with escort Jeff Harper. Football captains Rollin Brenneman and Randy Troyer ( 14), get ready to give Queen Angie Miller the traditional congratulation kiss. STUDENT LIFE 1 1 On Jive Day anything goes. Kim Burn and Rene Shafer do the bump to some of the music pro- vided in the lobby. A part of sectional week activities is the signing of the Raider Spirit Sheet which Chris Yoder, Cheryl Schrock, and Carol Snider present to the team after being censored. Green and Gold Mania A case of spot spirit struck Raider fans, but that didn ' t stop Maria Ross from showing her school pride. A banner presented by the Pep Band and Junior class helps the Raiders Ease on Down the Road to a Victory the first night at sectiona Enthusiasm is the next best thing to victory. The Pep Band plays the school song to show their pride before a pep session. 12 STUDENT LIFE The sock hop on Fifties Day gives Guy Fisher and Tracy Peterson a swingin ' noon hour. The Raider Fight Song brings everyone to his feet at pep sessions. Waiting for the music to begin, ready to get down on Jive Day. students are Spirit Week and pep sessions strike up the pride of the Raiders. School spirit was displayed by fans who backed their teams to endless victo- ries. Support for the players doesn ' t just begin at the games, but originates at school through pep sessions. Every- one gets into the act by giving skits, presentations and doing cheers. Even Coach Pratt ' s son Craig, got into the action by declaring that his dad is the coach of the Raiders. During one skit it was feared that there wasn ' t gonna ' be no football game, ' cause they couldn ' t find the ball for the foot- ball game. Aiding in stirring up excitement from the stage, the Pep Band brought crowds to their feet with a robust beginning of the school song or a pop- ular hit. An added challenge to each class was the question, Who wants the Spirit Stick? Participation in class yells, decorations, and general sup- port throughout the week, resulted in the answer. Each class won once, with the Juniors winning three times. Jive days preceded many games. The halls were filled with green and gold, as students dressed in their school colors. Many students got into the stripe of things as Denise Ryman, Patty Hochstetler and Sara Mast did on Green and Gold Day. At noon, everyone came together in the lobby where music was played. Sectional Basketball action always stirs up excitement. Spirit Week was planned for every Raider. For the nos- talgic person, there was Fifties Day. Digging out the old wool skirts, white T-shirts, hair grease, and bobby socks, everyone got into the swing of things. For the sophisticate, Formal Day brought students out in three- piece suits and formals. Everyone showed their true colors on Green and Gold Day. Little Raider Day gave even the shyest person a sense of security. Overalls, flannel shirts, and hats were comfortable and were worn on Hee- Haw Day. Signs, streamers, and paint covered the walls, ceilings, and windows. Each class had their own windows and hall to liven up. Students stayed after school and spent many free hours hanging their decorations. A case of dots ran rampant through fans. Five-thousand adhesive- backed dots, both green and gold, were worn by students and faculty members in hair, on clothes, and on faces. For one penny per dot, they supported their team and a student, Tim Wolfinger, who lost all his posses- sions in a fire. A victory for a team means another victory for the fans. STUDENT LIFE 1 3 Btoasaao qv «es The school took on a different look with much of the walls hidden by drifts. Hazards were caused by the ice and snow. Signs became concealed when drifts and piles towered above ten feet. 14 STUDENT LIFE COQtfQ CQOBtfCaaOBGB In came The Blizzard of ' 78, and it brought with it play and work, rest and fatigue, excitement and boredom, but most of all, snow. Wednesday evening the wind and snow began blowing and drifting. By the next night, drifts reached heights of four to twelve feet. The entire midwest had been covered with a thick blanket of snow. When the blizzard stopped, the community was truly at a stand still. Digging out was slow, and many people were stranded for days. The few that were able to get out were either roaming around on the road or gathering a storehouse of food. The storm provided a break in studies, when school was called off for five days. What did students and faculty gain from the closing? They were granted everything from a well- deserved rest to a long-awaited chance to catch up on home- work. The blizzard caused hoarding and a shortage of bread and milk at local grocery stores. Leaving the school, Jean Snyder and Mary Zim- mer make their way to their cars. STUDENT LIFE 15 George Hery and Maureen Curran give demon- strations on gymnastics safety. LU if) +- 03 I- 16 STUDENT LIFE Singers, speakers, choirs, and gym- nists performing for a totally absorbed audience; that ' s entertainment. Students listened intently as Stan Connery, an American Indian, told of his personal experiences. Having lived on a reservation, he related the feel- ings of a person growing up in a changing lifestyle. A Christmas program was once again given by the choirs. Many new and old favorites were sung by individ- ual choirs. At the end of the program, traditional carols were sung by the combined choirs as they filed in dur- ing the candlelight procession. A variety of music styles were dem- onstrated by Ms. Johnalita White. Singing Baby Face, Rubber Ducky, and other songs she enter- tained the student body by serenading teachers and students. On tour, the Manchester Choir sang some selections from a program they were presenting at churches. They sang barbershop harmony, spirituals, and folk songs. To demonstrate the importance of safety in gymnastics, Maureen Curran and George Hery showed exercises on the mats, balance beam, trampoline, and vaulting horse. The year ' s convocations proved to be interesting, educational and enter- taining. II HHH| I The proper technique of doing a handstand is shown by Ms. Curran and Mr. Hery.

Sheri Kropf and Randy Mockler slow-dance to the music Dancing, talking, and laughing are |ust a few of the things that go on at the Semi-Formal. Cindy Mockler and Dave Berry enioy themselves out on the floor. Between dances Jeannie Graber and Craic Rhodes stop for a glass of punch. 18 STUDENT LIFE I In the corner of the dance floor, Rich Chupp and his date get down at an after game dance. Breaking Out With the Beat With time to spare on weekends, students found themselves highly sus- ceptible to Saturday Night Fever. Everyone caught on to the wild pulse of the music around them and their enthusiasm broke out. At the Semi- Formal and after game dances they gave way to the excitement. Dreams, the Semi-Formal theme, set the scene for both a quiet and fun evening. Decorated with flowing light and dark blue streamers and glisten- ing stars, the cold cafeteria was trans- formed by the sophomore class into a festive atmosphere. Beyond the Dark- ness provided music for the evening. The high-point of many nights was victory at a football or basketball game. For many, more excitement fol- lowed at the dances. The Student Council and Cheerleaders scheduled a total of seven dances and each one drew a crowd. Doing the bump, an ever popular dance, are Dawn Dirck and Linda Miller. STUDENT LIFE 19 Dave Berry, Rusty Graber, Kevin Koch and Rick Weaver ' s rend ition of Coney Island Babe received top ratings at both district and state Solo and Ensemble Contest and applause from their audience at Green and Gold. Talent on Review Applause is what was heard at the showing of the Green and Gold Review. People who had talent hidden away performed acts that brought out their true personalities. Acts consisted of singers, movie producers, magicians and even comic strip characters. As emcee, Craig Yoder introduced each interesting escapade. Much effort was put in by both per- formers and stage hands to make it one of the best reviews. This was proved true by the result they received from their audience. Cameraman, Dave Miller, tentatively watches the performers to make sure the light brings out their best features. 20 STUDENT LIFE Mr. Gas, portrayed by Brent Bardo, has escaped yet another encounter with Fatman and Rubin. Meanwhile back at the (atcave . . . . . . Fatman and Rubin, portrayed by Dave Mockler and Todd Wyse, think up another scheme to capture Mr. Gas. Adding a sparkling duet to the Green and Gold Review is Julie Kantner and Lynette Troyer. They are accompanied by Rusty Graber on the drums. STUDENT LIFE 21 Bound Sharing a moment of quietness are Deb McCraner and Jeff Parker. Book of Dreams Couples looked forward to the prom for weeks and began to put together a Book of Dreams. Dates were taken to a carefully selected restaurant for dinner at the beginning of the evening. The dance was held at the school where the gym had been completely transformed. Music was provided by I. C. Hott. The evening featured a fire show, a dance contest and the traditional crowning of the prom royalty. Chosen by their classmates, the win- ners were announced. Crowned king and queen were Craig Yoder and Cheryl Schrock. Their attendants from the jun- ior class were Steve Yoder and Kim Burtt. Couples capture the atmosphere of the evening in pictures. Sheri Kropf and Randy Mockler make a selection of what they want.

Peggey Treece walks off stage with hers. Joe Gerwels receives his diploma from Mr. George Tilley as Mr. Gerald Wilson looks on. Senior members of the Concert Choir sing Cor- ner of the Sky. Remember . . . Reminiscing was just part of the graduation ceremony for the class of 78 held on Sunday, May 28 at 2:30 p.m. As the Concert Choir sang The Times of Your Life, slides were shown of class members growing up. Later, the seniors in the choir sang Corner of the Sky. Miss Ulrey lead the Concert Band in Pomp and Cir- cumstance, Man of LaMancha, and the recessional, Grand March from Aida. For the second time in the history of the school, the exchange student, Grace Keyser, spoke. Mr. Alan Yoe, the exchange teacher, also said his good-byes. Other speakers were Craig Yoder, Donya Houser and Amy Metz- ler. STUDENT LIFE 25 Efforts Awards p Exercising good study habits, Jeff Beachy works his way to academic excellence. 26 STUDENT LIFE Angie Miller leads the crowd to cheer the team to the first victory over Goshen. An active member of various extra curricular functions, Craig Yoder was emcee of the Green and Gold Revue. Involved in a class discussion is Mr. Alan Yeo who was the exchange teacher from England in the Social Studies department. Graduates, underclassmen, faculty and parents were welcomed on the last day of school at the annual Hon- ors Day Program. Acting as emcee, Bruce Stahly introduced individuals as they approached the front of the cafe- teria to make presentations. Supported by the community, stu- dents received recognition for aca- demic achievements, participation in extra-curricular activities and fulfilled service requirements. The Dr. M. S. Teeters Award was presented by the President of the Middlebury Civic Club. The recipients of this award were Donya Houser and Jee Gerwels. Various departments presented awards to students who excelled. Shorthand and Typing with pins were handed out to students who qualified high speeds. Receiving the Math Award was Jeff Beachy. The Senior Science Award was given to Terry Miller. The Music Department recog- nized Craig Yoder, winner of the Arion Award, Joe Gerwels winner of the John Phillip Sousa Award and Angie Miller winner of the Northndge Cho- rus Award. Also recognized were Rusty Graber who won the Outstand- ing Underclassmen Award for Choir and Marsha Black who won Outstand- ing Marching Band Person. Recognized for service was faculty member Peter Yoder who retired after teaching nine years. Through out her year at NHS, Grace Keiser worked closely with the faculty. STUDENT LIFE 27 Burning the Juice: ATHLETICS Keeping up his pace, Dan Yoder gains a good position in the race. All sports require many hours of sweat and dedication.

Varsity cheerleaders chant at a football game to keep the excitement going. Spreading Raider Fever Creating new cheers and different ways to get the student body to partici- pate are problems that constantly face cheerleaders. Raider Fever was just one of the ways these problems were solved. Selling two sizes of green and yellow dots for one penny a piece, the cheerleaders helped out a fellow stu- dent as well as cheer the teams on. Planning pep sessions and spirit weeks also need new looks. For bas- ketball spirit week, Formal Day was added. Three-piece suits and long dresses were worn by only a few peo- ple, but most students dressed up at least a little bit. Since cheerleading is now consid- ered a sport, points are earned toward athletic jackets and sweaters. Cheer- leaders also may not participate in any sport except for track and tennis. 30 ATHLETICS VARSITY SQUAD: Carol Snider, Angie Miller, JUNIOR VARSITY SQUAD: Janet Bontrager, Chris Yoder, Cheryl Schrock, Angle Graber.

ATHLETICS 31 Concentration is evident on the face of Dennis Graber as he practices a forehand return. New! Tennis Although this was the first organ- ized year for the tennis team, it did not lack student interest; it lacked senior players. This new team consisted of three juniors, four sophomores, and eight freshmen. A very young team, many players felt this to be a major disadvantage, but that it could prove helpful in future years as the players would have more experience. Tennis player Dennis Graber cited another factor that none of the team had ever played in competition before. Practice started in mid-August and was held every night after school. Mr. Bruce Stahly, who also coaches golf, had a new role as tennis coach. Dave Mockler was named the Most Valuable Player and also earned the Most Points Award. Other major award winners were Tim Gonderman, Ron Miller, Jeff Beachy, Mike Hatfield, Kevin Smith, and Dennis Graber. While there was some lack of organ- ization, players felt good about their first year on the tennis team. ■■■ ■■ i ii.

Weather factors such as wind, rain and cold influence team members both physically and psychologically. In fact, in all his years of coaching, Mr. Gary Modlin remembers this year ' s Wawasee-West Noble meet as being the coldest ever. Lone senior Randy Miller was out most of the season with hip problems. There were three other returning let- termen. Such inexperience was a maior factor in the 5- 1 season. Kirby Herschberger was named Most Valuable Runner completing with three runs under thirteen min- utes and placing sixteenth at sec- tional. Junior Jan Jines kept team statis- tics for the second year. Coach Modlin was well pleased with his team stating that, They were all willing to work hard. They also worked well as a team with there being a good balance of cut-ups and serious people that kept things under control. Junior Duane Leach said that you can never feel that you have done your best; if you did, you would quit improving. You constantly have to push harder. Common player comments in- cluded, It ' s the hardest sport, the most gratifying sport, excel- lently coached, and the best sport in school! Passing the school arboretum, Dan Yoder keeps a close lead on teammates Dave Campbell and Keith Gingerich. 34 ATHLETICS First Raider across the finish line at all meets, Kirby Herschberger strides to keep the lead.

Gloves to keep the hands warm are worn by Jeff Craig on a cold, windy day. Pat Yowell runs alongside. ATHLETICS 35 Real Fine Season Practices started early in August and were held regardless of the weather. This experience helped the team to keep its concentration going in the rain at the Homecoming and the frosty games late in the season. Team spirit ran high and helped correct several problems, one of them being the loss of graduated seniors. Another problem experienced was fumbles. Many team members were also disappointed in individual games. But despite the difficulties, the Varsity team pulled through with a record of 7-3, considered by most to be a real fine season. The Junior Varsity had a good year too, their record being 3-1 after having one game cancelled. The Freshman team got off to a slow start, losing the first game and tying the second. They improved to finish their season 3 3-1. Although some important senior players are graduating, returning let- termen look promising for next sea- son.

Season of Firsts An 8-3 record was the result of an exciting volleyball season. We had a great ti me! was the comment from most of the team members. It was a lot of work, though, too, came from others. But team work paid off when the Varsity team won the Lakeland Sec- tional, a first in the history of Nor- thridge. Beating West Noble two games to none, the team moved on to defeat Central Noble in style. East Noble won one out of three in the last match. Moving on to the regional at Goshen, the team was defeated by John Glenn, two games to one. Another first came for the J.V. team when Mr. Steve Muck became coach. He took charge and led the team to a 2-6 record. Determined to save the ball, Debbie Lundy makes a deep dive as Gail Stark prepares to send it over the net.

When asked what they disliked most about the season, all wrestlers answered, Losing weight! When asked what they liked most, Pizza Parties, was the most popular response. One pizza party was given by the cheerleaders, another by parents. When no one planned one for us, we planned our own, was the comment of Coach Ron Kratzer.

Outstanding Efforts Merit Awards Beginning the season with an excit- ing overtime thriller with Penn, the girls ' Varsity team started by losing 51-52. They continued to experience bad luck ending the season with a 4-9 record. With only three graduating seniors, next year ' s team promises to provide more experience. These three seniors and a junior were recognized at the close of the season for their outstanding efforts. Patty Hochstetler won the Most Valua- ble Player Award, leading in steals and achieving a 49% field goal average. Donya Houser received the rebound award snaring a total of 126 during the year; Donya also led in the highest number of assists. Marcia Swarm won the coaches ' award for Desire, Deter- mination and Dedication. Winner of the Free Throw Award was junior Linda Bender, making 66% of her field goals. Drawing Elkhart Central in the Goshen 4-way Tourney, the Varsity team was defeated 39-59. Later, at sectional, they lost to another tough team, Concord, 33-70. The Junior Varsity team also had problems finishing the season with a 2-6 record under first-year coach Bill Schmidt.

Highlights of the Varsity basketball season included defeating eleventh- ranked Lakeland, and earning Coach Pratt ' s 300th victory by beating Con- cord. Both of these wins in the middle of the season fired team spirit to help prepare for sectional. Delayed for one week due to energy cutbacks, it was uncertain whether sectional would be held at all. Defeating Goshen in the first game of the sectional, the team went on to play Elkhart Central where lack of height proved to be a problem. Although the Varsity team was somewhat young, the group worked well together and ended the season with a 14-7 record. Seven players will be returning next year to provide experience. Varying degrees of experience were possessed among the Junior Varsity team members; their season wound up at 7-12. Lack of height was a problem there, too. said Coach Gary Modlin. The freshman team, headed by Don Weirich, enjoyed a fine season finish- ing at 12-4.

Consisting of only three seniors, eight juniors, eight sophomores and six freshmen, the girls closed the sea- son at a 3-6 record. Four members of the team placed in Sectional. Cynthia Terry came in second in the 100-yard dash, Jane Melcher was fifth in the 1 mile, Shelly Rassi placed fifth in the softball throw, and Dianne Schlagen- hauf finished sixth in the hurdles. Cynthia went on to the Regional. Four school records were broken too, in the course of the season. Cynt- hia Terry broke the high jump with a jump of 4 ' 10 and also the long jump with a leap of 16 IV2 . Jane Melcher broke the half-mile and mile with times of 2;39.0 and 5;53.6 respec- tively.

Running indoors may not be the best way to get in shape, but in order tor the track team to be ready tor their tirst meet in March against Fairfield, practice had to begin immediately after the blizzard. Thus the school halls were turned into a track as soon as school was dismissed each day. Due to the inexperience of the young team, the coaches had some doubts before the season as to their strength. However, the three seniors, twelve |uniors, nine sophomores and nine freshmen pulled together for a 13-3 record. Seniors Brian Fry, Kevin Smeltzer and Randy Troyer collected 35% of the total points. Kevin Smelt- zer was awarded the Top Field Event trophy, Randy Troyer received the Top Sprinter award and Kirby Herschber- ger won the award for Top Distance Runner.

The Library club spent the year making information available for the student body. Keeping the books, magazines, filmstrips and other materials in order makes it eas- ier to assist students, whether doing research work or reading for pleasure. In addition to taking pictures and writing stories, SHIELD Staff mem- bers spent many extra hours on the job. Time is spent selling ads to finance the book, attending games, club meetings, and many other func- tions. Amy Metzler crops a picture for a layout.

The Student Council was busy with many activities this year. Organizing such things as dances and convoca- tions occupied much of their time. A respected organization at Nor- thridge is the National Honor Society. On the basis of outstanding scholar- ship, leadership, service and charac- ter qualities, new members were cho- sen by the club. 60 ORGANIZATIONS NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY: Front row: Angie Miller, Craig Yoder, Amy Metzler, Sandy Out- man; Back row: Sponsor Karen Hondench, Todd Wyse, Kris Merrick, Jeff Beachy, Yvonne Yoder, Sharon Brockhoff, Donya Houser, Brian Fry, Rick Weaver, Sponsor, Steve Muck.

ORGANIZATIONS 61 A Spark of Spirit Leading fan enthusiasm, the Raiderettes and Booster Club back the teams at basketball games. One of the major themes that a good coach will bring out in his play- ers is giving a cooperative effort. But when this idea is applied on a larger scale, such as an entire school, watch out! The results can be devastating. The Raiderettes and Booster Club bring this high explosive potential into the confines of a gymnasium, and then let it loose with all the creative humor of youth. That is not to say that it stops there, however. Within sec- onds the fervor has spread to all of the Raider fans. Spirit is not the only thing that they are responsible for spread- ing. The Raiderettes and Booster Club need to show the younger students a good model to insure a lively future for Raider athletics. Short chants spark the excitement that accom- panies each game. 62 Organizations The Booster Club sits out a break between quar- ters. An intense game arouses the enthusiastic sup- port of the Booster Club. Team confidence is elevated by the Raiderettes. Organizations 63 Music From the Heart Displaying a bit of nostalgia, the Sound of Friends performed various medleys of songs from the past. They sang selections from the Thirties, Forties and Fif- ties in addition to many current favorites. The group practiced before school, three days a week. Presenta- tions were given at banquets, concerts and on a tour of various surrounding schools. Concert Choir students who showed an interest to study more involved music were invited to audition for the Chamber Singers. Members were expected to spend time working on some arrangements outside of class. Each person performed two solos and a duet or trio before the class. While at contest, the group received superior ratings. They sang a regular choral arrangement and a madrigal. They also received firsts at State contest. Members of the Chamber Singers, Kevin Doutlick, Rusty Graber, Joel Ryman, Deb McCraner, Sandy Outman, Angle Miller, and Chris Yoder, are concentrating closely on the direction of Gerald Rasler.

The Sound of Friends was top billing in the Fri- day night performance of the Green and Golf Review. With their swinging choreography they are sure to please any crowd. ORGANIZATIONS 65 Stage Sounds Two extracurricular instrumental music programs are traditionally ottered each year: Pep Band and Jazz Band. Pep Band is a voluntary group in which anyone who wishes may par- ticipate. Although seniors are equally welcome, it is an excellent opportunity for underclassmen band members to apply their musical skills to a popular style of music. Pep Band plays at all home basketball games and director Miss Mary Ulrey calls it an integral part of the Northridge school spirit. She puts a great deal of effort into seeing that Pep Band is as much of a pleasure as it is a learning experience. In contrast, Jazz Band provides a more structured atmosphere in which the members can become more famil- iar with the Jazz style of music. Partic- ipation in the program is based on auditions performed the previous spring, and membership is generally held to 20-25 people. Throughout the year, Jazz Band gave various concerts, both alone and with other groups, including a joint Marching Band-Jazz Band concert in December, the Spring Thing with the Sound of Friends and a concert at the Concord Mall in May.

As the task of meeting job qualifications grows harder, students begin demanding more of their education. Adjusting the curriculum, the faculty expanded and included new opportunities. Meeting the need: Academics. The topic of a lecture is absorbed by Beth Wat- son and Brian Wilcox in Biology. Participating in Drama class, Rusty Graber and Linda Bender read through a script. I In preparing for a performance Jackie Fing- Using all her free time, Val Stahley works on her erle, Yvonne Yoder and Amy Metzler sing History word list, along as choir members go over their parts. 70 ACADEMICS The dissection of a fetal pig requires the accu- racy of Keith Carlin and Tern Miller in Advanced Biology.

ACADEMICS 71 Horseplay in class is quickly brought to order by Miss Mary Zimmer. Variety in English Reading is only part of the Lan- guage Arts program. Writing poems, short stories, and fairy tales are included, along with speeches, reports, and drama. Then there is always grammar, Shostak, and spell- ing. At the end of the year, freshmen may choose two from the wide range of electives for the next year if they have met all the requirements. These electives are usually for the upper- classmen but are open for some fresh- men. Oral reading is followed by Mary Jo Miller, Gwen Hochstedler, and Tammy Truex. 72 ACADEMICS Attention is given to Alan Reed as it is his turn to speak A requirement of Sophomore Language Arts is the reading of Romeo and Juliet and West Side Story. With the book partially read is Quinn Kli- nefelter, Becky Weaver, Chris Herschberger, and Mike Hatifield. 5 ACADEMICS 73 A food demonstration is given by Nancy Brock hoff as her class project. Listening to a lesson, Kim Burtt, Guy Fisher, Lisa Nethercutt, and Brenda Yoder learn about the Spanish culture. Christmas carols being practiced by the Span- ish classes were heard when they toured through the halls. 74 ACADEMICS Foreign Addition Adding variety to the Foreign Language depart- ment was a German course. The department pre- viously consisted of only Spanish. While teaching how to speak the language, both courses encour- age students to explore the cultures and tradi- tions of the countries. The German classes learned to polka for their Ocktoberfest party. They played games such as Bingo, learned Christmas songs, and ate German bread and cookies at their Christmas party. A special speaker, Mrs. Charles Wysong from Germany, visited the classes twice. Four students took advantage of an opportunity to go to the country for four weeks in the summer. The Spanish classes played games and had parties, too. They also created a village where students bought and sold articles to learn more about the use of Spanish money and trading techniques. At Christmas they joined the German classes and toured the halls singing songs in their respective languages. Pinatas were made and displayed. Later, filled with candy and other goodies, they were broken. Interpretation of some German words by Mrs. Martha Dickin- son aids Ron Troyer and Greg Slabach in understanding an assignment. Bingo is a game played in all languages. Jody Kauffman, Angie Wyman and Ann Nich enjoy a community game in German. At the German Christmas party, Mike Gait sur- veys food made by some of his classmates. ACADMEICS 75 Taking notes in class for future reference, Wayne Nethercutt and Tim Gage write fast to get everything down. Proofs and Logic Equations and unknown factor problems are part of the studies in the math courses. During the year, the classroom grew in size with more stu- dents signing up. Four Geometry classes were needed. Math is a subject which starts out teaching the basics and moves on to cover different aspects, including con- sumer math activities such as check- book balancing. The more advanced courses build upon basic knowledge with theories and proofs. For students who wish to learn more complex math there is Advanced Math. All classes do different things such as having board races or a supermar- ket simulation but there is always the daily homework assignment no matter what class is taken. Full attention is given to the teacher by Doug Peachy, Dave Tieman, and Roger Chupp. 76 ACADEMICS Understanding a math problem is delightful to Tom Rhude and Cheryl Kropf as Lana Ellis writes it down. Classtime for homework is taken advantage of by Deb Bailey. As Ann Nich works on a paper Jim Gait experi- ences an amusing time in class. ACADEMICS 77 The Many Worlds of Science There is more to science than just experiments and dissection. Bird reports, tree identification and pond water studies are only a few of the many areas discussed in Science and Biology classes. If specific interests are shown by a student, they are free to enroll in Earth and Science or the Conservation course. In addition to class lab work, stu- dents are expected to complete even more involved research projects on their own time. Group work is employed in the spring when gardens are planted. While weeding and caring for them, students learned special techniques for growing produce. Dissection is a major pari of Advanced Biology. Keith Carlin and Terry Miller saw their way through it. Mixing an experiment can be fun and exciting which Miss Janet Williams demonstrates to her class. 78 ACADEMICS Getting right down to the heart of the matter are Angie Graber, Ron Robinson, and Craig Yoder. Recording information in Biology is Linda Kauffman, Tammy Hershberger, and Kerry Cripe. ACADEMICS 79 Lab and Lecture Go Hand-in-Hand Could you watch my baby for a minute? ' asked students. The baby wasn ' t a baby at a but a raw egg. The Fundamentals of Nursing classes experienced the dedication required of a parent while caring for their delicate child for a full 48 hours. Through activities such as this, students gained knowledge through trial and error. A major part of the learning experience in both Home Economics and Industrial Arts areas is provided through lab work. In both departments, teachers were pleased to see a growing interest from students of the opposite sex. Classes once judged as being only for boys or for girls can no longer be classified so. While lectures give students useful informa- tion, even more is gained through lab work. The Graphic Arts class prints posters and programs for various school functions. Completed projects in other classes show immediate results as students try to put their knowledge to practical use. Advice is given by Miss Barb Derstine, the Home Ec. student teacher, to Bev Wood and Cherylee Clemens about sewing on buttons. n Clothing 2, Jody Kauffman checks over her seams for the self evaluation sheet. Cutting in shortening is one of the steps that Jeff James goes through when making biscuits. 80 ACADEMICS In Graphic Arts a stretched shirt aids in print ing. Keith Bontrager pulls his T-shirt smooth so the printing that is about to go on ends up straight. Attention is given to turning his product on the lathe by Bob Kindel in Woods. A good final product is the goal of Kathy Lee as she cuts a dowel rod into specific sizes. it ACADEMICS 8) Occasionally getting all the information takes teamwork as with Brenda Yoder and Kim Burtt. History Brought to Life Y.J Maps, lectures and the Constitution provide informa- tion, but even more knowledge is gained through experi- ences. Field trips and special speakers gave students of the Social Studies department new insights into the past and present society.

As the public realizes this, the demand for training in this field grows. To meet this demand, the business department expanded to accommodate interested students. To keep the classes down to average sizes, extra sections were added for some courses. Students in advanced classes were allowed inde- pendent study in which they could work at their own pace while receiving any necessary help from the teachers. Training in practical office proce- dures was provided through many courses involving work with machines, record keeping and organization methods.

God has given you this day to use as you will. You can waste it — or use it for good, but what you do today is important, because you are exchanging a day of your life for it! When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, leaving in its place something that you have traded for it. May it be gain, and not loss; good, and not evil; success, and not failure; in order that you shall not regret the price you have paid for it. Best Wishes for a Good Life. Sincerely, V. H.
