In beginning their last year of high school, they set out and achieved new ideals and goals through clubs, sports, or their own lives. They, together with the school and community, brought in the 80 decade. ‘80 is the best, forget abo ut the rest.”’ Farmer's Day spirit is shown by Heidi Lehman.

TABLE OF CONTENTS 3 Alone, the players, the students, or the cheerleaders would be_ useless. Together, a good time is had by all. A good play from the field brings cheers from the crowd. An old place with a new face. Fresh- men take advantage of the new, more relaxed atmosphere in the library to dis- cuss homework problems. 4 OPENING New Decade 1980. This is a new decade for NHS also. Many new changes came with the 11th year. The library, aided by a new, male librarian, has quite a new look. Many bright posters and other decorations accom- pany the more relaxed studying atmosphere. This was the first year for a bonfire, a homecom- ing king during the winter, a rifle corps, croquet on the front lawn during noon, and sending valentines to a sweetie through the Lance staff, the resurrected school newspaper. There were also 4 teachers and personnel which joined the NHS staff with new ideas to share. These are just a FEW of the new and differ- ent things that happened in 79- 80. Music after the game is enjoyed by many students. Joy Kauffman dances while some prefer to just listen to the songs The first annual winter fashion show and tea was the team effort of Clothing ll and Home Arts classes.

Ron Brenneman and Mark Wilkey enjoy croquet during sec- ond lunch while weather permits OPENING 5 Together A variety of happenings occurred throughout the coun- try during the start of the 80's. The Olympics took place along with new, mixed feelings toward Russia. This was a year of cam- paigning for the presidential elections and another style of clothes. There was some appre- hension about U.S. hostages in lran and threats ofithe draft. It was also leap year, giving gals the chance to ‘pop the ques- tion.’ The community and the school joined closer together this year through support of each other. Students contrib- uted to the community by work- ing in the stores and serving through clubs and their activi- ties. Sports and organizations received much support from the people by attendance at games and functions at school. They were behind NHS morally and financially when the need arose. Whatever was done, at school, in the community, or throughout the world, it was done together. The beginnings of a doughnut.

It all began eleven years ago, on a hill, by an apple orchard. Using bricks boards, nails, and paint, a school had begun. With a school came teachers cooks, janitors and students. This school year brought many things into a student's life. It brought parties deadlines, new clubs, new friendships dances, new romances, and new con- tests.

Here are some of the responses. of the responses. The first question was, ‘What are some of the things that attract you to a girl guy?’ The most common responses were good looks, good personality, good sense of humor, easy to get along with, faith and belief in SL A While double-dating is fun, Tami Cline and Jerry Yoder share quiet moments together after school. Exclusive dating, or going steady, is an advanced stage of dating practiced by many couples including A. Dean Yoder and Susy Adamson. God, maturity, and honesty, split in half, one half saying yes, the other no. However, more girls were against it than were for it. Some said it would be okay if the two people had been dating but felt it would be out of place for a girl to ask a guy out for the first date. ‘Do you like to date someone with a higher, lower or same Q?’ The majority said it did not matter. The next highest group answered that they like the same IQ because they feel com- fortable and not ignorant and felt they had more in common. The group that responded they like higher IQ's said it was because they enjoy learning something new and interesting on a date. Very few preferred lower IQ's. The next question asked the surveyees to describe their most unusual dating experience. One fellow hit the side of a car on his first date. One girl, while on a date, needed to use the rest- room. So her date stopped at a restaurant and she went in as he waited outside. He saw some- one he knew so he drove over to talk. Meanwhile another car just like her date’s car pulled into the original parking place. The girl came back out and crawled into the car and was very embarrassed when she looked at the driver and it wasn't her date! Another said that she and her date were in an accident and they were both killed. The last question; ‘Where was the most unique place ever gone?’ Automatic car washes, a supermarket opening, and an abandoned house were some of the replies. DATING 11 Fantasies, Love, Muppets, and Mork Homecoming spirit was high as the Raider team defeated the Lakeland Lakers 13-0. Using the theme of popular television shows for their floats, each of the classes submitted their imaginative creations, with the freshmen winning the com- petition. Donna Smith was crowned homecoming queen, based on a previous student body vote. Festivities were con- cluded with a dance following the game.

HOMECOMING 13 We've Got | spirit! Seniors, Lynette Troyer, Julie Kant- ner, Kathy Troyer and Jodie Yoder show their spirit by dressing in the school colors for Green and Gold Day. SS Spirit Week brought on a vari- ety of unusual scenes to the school halls. In three days of preparation for the homecom- ing game, many ways were found to help boost spirit. Farm- er’s Day, Dress-up Day, and the always popular Green and Gold Day served as outlets for each student's spirit. On Dress-up Day, the school spirit really appeared. While some people participated, like Penny Miller and Donna Smith, others like Gail Stark, chose to show their spirit in different ways. 14 SPIRIT WEEK Jill Zook and Selinda Hinson stop for a brief chat in the halls on Dress-up Day es Cheerleader Kathy Troyer encour- ages the Raider team using her artistic abilities On Farmer’s Day, Wally Smith A small group of well-dressed sen- comes to school complete with red __ iors take it easy over the lunch hour. bandana and overalls. SPIRIT WEEK 16 DANCES Disco, Rock and All That Jazz As the sound of disco swepts, the country so did enthusiasm to get out on the floor and have fun. After many of the weekend games, football or basketball, came Student Council spon- sored dances and everyone joined in. These dances were a place to be with friends and make new ones. Nevertheless, win or lose, the excitement was always easy to find when the music started. Whether it’s couples or groups of people dancing, it’s always fun. _ The front lobby provides a place to just sit down and relax during the dances. Sophomores Patty Yoder, Jo Kauffman, and Susie Bontrager de onstrate some of the many differe styles of dance.

Harry Prough and Donna Ziegler Many things have changed but Mr Pratt's form of persuasion certainly hasn't! Although the student leaders in our Student Council are not the same ones as ten years ago, the faculty advisor is, once again, Mr. Kattau. Everything changes, even schools and teachers. It may be hard to believe but, Yes!, teach- ers are people too and over the years they don't remain the same. It’s just a matter of opin- ion if this change is for better or for worse. These pictures from the first Shield, 1970, show the many differences between then and now. As Mr. Kauffman and Mr. Willig demonstrate, some people's gains are others’ As Mr. Willig shows, communication between the teacher and the students was as important then as it is today. losses. Many new additions have appeared in the school, in the student body, in the teaching faculty, and on the teachers themselves, but all of these are merely physical; deep down it's all the same. The spirit and enthusiasm of this school will never leave, it will only grow and strengthen. So, just remember, you're not getting older, only better! FEATURE 19 Although she came to help serve, Susie Bontrager still found time to dance and watch others enjoy them- selves too. Slow music always seems to bring everyone on the floor just a little bit closer. Getting to know one another better is an enjoyable part of the evening. 22 SEMI-FORMAL Magical Illusion Many couples joined together on Mr. and Mrs. Frazier, Don Prough, the dance floor for a slow dance. and Kym Stump stop for a brief chat during the course of the evening. Using the theme ‘‘Color My World,”’ the freshman and soph- omore classes transformed the cafeteria into a semi-dream world on the evening of March 22 for the annual Semi-Formal. The dance featured Castle Sounds, who helped complete the magical illusion with the use of a spectacular light show and many other ‘‘tricks of the trade”’ including dry ice-formed clouds. With an atmosphere like that, who could help but have a good time?

A literal skit was done by the National Honor Society telling the true story of Willig’s election. Spike Farrell (Julie Bryant) feels that things are pretty soft for him as Mr. and Mrs. Wil- lig (Dennis Graber and Laura Laffoon) look on. 24 GREEN AND GOLD REVUE “Standing on the Corner’ watching some sexy ‘‘girls’’ go by was the song performed by six junior guys. The “'girls’’ were Ron Troyer and Jim Lantz (partially hidden) and the quartet, Cle- tus Miller, Cory O'Dell, Dave Lantz, and Mark Darby. Twelve seniors shared some advice given to them in their twelve years of school. Jodie Yoder ‘‘Never pick your zits,’ Kathy Troyer ‘‘Never kiss the boys,’’ Chris Herschberger ‘‘Never smoke cigarettes,’’ Tami Troyer “Never drive fast,”’ Sandy Morris “Never stay out late’’ and Julie Otto “Never go out parking.”’ The Green and Gold changed? Yes One of these changes was to bring back a skit done a few years ago by some talented guys. It was a hit now just as it was then. Holding the Green and Gold for one night only instead of the traditional two was another change This year the Revue consisted of a variety of acts. Some acts included were old time favorites such as Jazz Band, Sound of Friends, and the final edition of WBBB, while many of the others were first-time appearances. A few of these first-timers were ‘‘Twelve Years of School” done by twelve sen- iors, ‘Standing on the Corner’’ done by six junior guys, a truth-revealing skit about Willig’s election done by the National Honor Society, a dance rou- tine by two “Robin” girls and ‘‘The Lumberjack Song’’ done by Rob Brock, Jim Lantz, and Ken Beachy to name a few. It was a real crowd pleaser and the money raised went into buying a new color video taping machine. GREEN AND GOLD REVUE 25 Northridge Theater Presents The Odd Couple This year Northridge Theater took a more modern turn in their presentation of The Odd Couple. The Odd Couple, a Neil Simon comedy, was presented in the school auditorium on March 28 and 29 at 7:30 P.M. Long hours of rehearsal and a great deal of hard work and devotion went into making The Odd Couple the success it was. Along with the cast members who are pictured on these two pages, there were many others who spent their ‘‘free’’ time working to insure that everything was ready at curtain time. Costumes and props were found, sets were designed and built, and make-up was applied under the guidance of a few of our select faculty members. A special thanks must be extended to all, and in particular to Mr. Dan Shroyer, Miss Mary Ulery, Miss Lynn Thomas, Mrs. Ellen Augustine, and Miss Mary Zimmer. Through the contribution of their skills and time. they helped Northridge carry on its fine theater tradition. Everyone involved will remember the many special moments they experienced this year and the underclassmen are looking forward to next year.

Graduation — an ending but also a beginning. A climax or ending of the high school days but a beginning. It brings new challenges and new situations to conquer and use to enhance our lives. The 1980 graduation was held in the school gymnasium with 136 persons receiving their diplomas. Robert Hepler, a well- known Goshen attorney, was the guest speaker.

Many awards are given throughout the year, but the Yearly one time when many awards both small and great are given is : at the awards program. This Achievements program is held annually at the end of the year to recognize people who have achieved hon- ors in one way or another. Awards vary from attendance to scholarships for seniors. Teach- ers also present awards to those students who have excelled in their classes. The emcee for this year’s awards program was Mr. Tom Kattau, Student Council sponsor and government teacher. Dave Mockler presents Mr. Tom Kat- tau with a plaque recognizing his out- standing performance as the Student Council sponsor. 34 AWARDS Five music awards had been presented earlier in the year and these five people were recognized again.

Working as a dishwasher is how Pam Conley became ‘‘Slik’’ as a whistle Mark Darby became Dark Marby through a switching of letters. Nicknames. Where do they come from? Why are they used? What’s wrong with a common, ordinary, everyday name? Per- haps no one will ever come up with a sound, logical reason for the nickname, but then, does anyone really want to? Nick- names add spice to high school life. They're like the salt on a peanut or the creme in the mid- dle of the Oreo cookie. They give the fortunate or unfortunate bearer a unique identity all his own. Nations, ethnic groups, and individuals all have nick- names which have grown up in curious ways and have become fixed and permanent. Where did the word nickname come from? The word was originally ‘‘eke name’ and it meant ‘‘added name.”’ So, whether a nickname is a blessing or a curse to its owner, it’s usually there to stay. It may grow and develop with the owner, but it will still be there in some form. Nicknames are never forgotten.

It was a money-making project to get the newspaper on its feet. The paper comes out monthly to keep students informed on the latest school news. The Shield staff works all year to produce a yearbook. Many other activities include selling ads, meetings, and fun.

Outstanding scholarship, leadership, service, and character qualities all are a must for a stu- dent to be in this group. The soci- ety went caroling at Christmas, giving fruit to older citizens. They raised money through bake sales. There is an induction ceremony near the end of the year. Brief meetings for the National Honor Society are held before school.

After all the wins and losses were tallied, it came out even — a 6-6 season for the boy's varsity track team. Perhaps the most. thrilling event happened the night of the Concord relays. A long night of competition declared them the victors, and they walked off with the class B crown. Sectionals fell on a warm, sunny Saturday and Alan Reed and Roland Smith took third and fourth places respectively in the pole vault. This qualified them for regionals, s here they each vaulted 13 fer.; tying them for fifth place, and the school record. (Unfortunately, the vaults could not count for the record because they ‘‘weren’t measured’’) . Award winners honored at the spring sports program were: Dave Ambrose — most valuable sprinter; Keith Gingerich — most valuable in distance; Roland Smith — most valuable in field events; and Ron Biller — NHS top track and field 1980.

FOOTBALL 63 A Record Breaking season lt was a good year for break- ing records, and bones, for the Raider wrestling team as they turned out their second best season ever, ending 9-4. For the first time in history, the NHS grapplers defeated NorthWood in a dual meet. Other high points of the season included Roland Smith’s championship at the NorthWood invitational and co-captains Bob Kindel’s and Roland Smith's first place fin- ishes at the Goshen invitational. The team also left Michigan the easy winners of the tri-meet including Decatur, Buchanan, and White Pigeon. The sectional tourney yielded four winners (Arlyn Miller, Cletis Miller, Roland Smith, Bob Kin- del) and one runner-up (Tim Price). It was the first time five wrestlers were advanced to the regionals at one time. After a long, hard day of sweaty matches, the boys were placed third overall, Roland emerged victorious, and Arlyn and Tim were awarded second place. The following week, they hit the road for semi-state, the first time three have ever gone at once. However, the wrestlers also had their share of injuries. Not only injured spirits over a lost, but hard-fought match, but physical injuries as well. Jim Lantz had an especially rough time with a broken wrist, arm, thumb, and toe. Still, determina- tion kept them fighting and all in all, it truly was a record-break- ing season. Struggling for control, Bob Kindel works on his opponent's foot. Although narrowly defeated by the Plymouth wrestler, Bob captured third place at the NorthWood regionals. 64 Upping his record to 23-1, MVP Roland Smith stopped an undefeated Plymouth wrestler 9-4 in the semi- finals at regionals A close match can make a nervous wreck out of the fans, and also a coach.

Free Throws And Four Irons It may not have been a win- ning season. It may have even been a disappointing season, but it did have its ups as well as its downs. As one varsity bas- ketball player put it, the victory over Penn was the “highlight of the year.”’ Missy Huber received the rebounding award after setting a new four year career record of 463. Deb Biller was named MVP and also received the free throw award. The golf team ended their season 13-5. They placed sec- ond overall in the Central Noble invitational, and had an eighth place finish at sectionals. Soph- omore Shawn Erickson was named MVP.

These and other questions were not only in the students’ heads but in Coach Irv Pratt's Having only four seniors, the Raid- ers seemed to lack the needed expe- rience, but they took hold and led the team to a 12-10 record. Coach Pratt said the underclass- men started coming on in the middle of January and contributed greatly Dave Tieman stated, ‘‘We had a good season considering we were underdogs most of the year.’’ Highlighting the season was Wen- dall Troyer scoring his 1000th point and the upset of county rival Con- cord. The J.V. had an up and down year, finishing with a 6-14 record. Most valuable player went to Wen- dell Troyer, most rebounds to Dave Tieman, and highest freethrow per- centage to Dan Yoder.

Three years later the boys tennis team has stead- ily improved and are quickly becoming county contenders. Basically an underclassmen team with one lone senior, next year’s team should be well rep- resented. Most valuable player went to Cletis Miller and most games won by number two doubles players Dennis Graber and Tom Hershberger.

Tennis Anyone? The girl’s tennis team had a very exciting year. The 1980 season was unique in many ways. The most memorable moments came as the girls beat both Central Noble and Jim- town. These two matches became a part of the proud Raider heritage because they were the two most enjoyable parts of the 2-9 season. Although a 2-9 record does not appear to be a winning record to some people, the girls were very excited about it. The wins marked the first time in the his- tory of girl’s tennis at Northridge that the team had won any of its matches. The girls were happily able to say that they'd started to reap some rewards for their hard work. As Julie Streeter, one of the varsity players said, ‘‘We’'re improving and will be more posi- tive in the years to come!”’ Misi Yoder exhibits good form on the court.

Physical Fitness for Adult Living, or Advanced P.E., is a new course Offered this year. Students learn how certain exercises benefit the body and why exercise is important. In health, one also learns the benefits of running and exer- cise, among numerous other health related topics. Students keep scrapbooks, make up bul- letin boards, give reports, and make posters urging people to stay off drugs and take better. care of themselves.

In Foods one can learn how to pick the right silverware, set a table, and prepare a fancy meal. In Clothing one will learn where styles come from, what clothes suit a person best and how to sew. Family teaches the student how to relate to others. Simulation games are also played, where students pretend to be married and learn how to handle problems and money.

Hard work and late night practices earned the band a superior rating at the local con- test, which sent them on to state. In the concert band contest the band received another superior rating. They then fin- ished off the school year with a fine performance in the Memo- rial Day parade. The choir also received a superior rating in the N.1.S.B.O- .V.A. choir contest.

Careful work is done on a project by Wally Smith. Listening to a teacher lecture can get dull. Taking notes can give one writer's cramp. How can one break the monotony? Industrial arts, that’s how. The skills that are developed can be very valuable, the final products rewarding. There are many dif- ferent courses to pick from, but in all of them one is encouraged to be a better consumer, to make a plan and follow it, and to identify a problem and work at solving it. It also teaches safety techniques. Due to the new space added on, there has been room for larger projects. What is one thing students have been mak- ing more of? Waterbeds, of course! As with any of the pro- jects, one can be assured of a lot of hard work, but the results are worth the efforts.

One can learn everything from the basic color wheel to the pottery wheel. There is also drawing, painting, batik, raku, sculpting, and more. The challenge of creation is as much fun as seeing the final outcome. Perhaps an even bigger chal- lenge would be typing. Students go from learning the home keys, to typing fifty-five or more words a minute, with five or fewer errors.

Some of the courses involve simulation sets, where students get practice doing things like keeping records and receipts. In Shorthand one must take timed writings and learn to dic- tate. Introduction to Business teaches everything from filling out income tax forms to the proper method of writing busi- ness letters. Students also get the chance to teach a chapter and make up a test. By teaching students a trade in addition to giving advice on handling money, business classes are profitable in more ways than one.

But to the long list of L.A. electives was added a new one — Journalism, which brought with it the resurrection of the old school paper, ‘‘The LANCE. ’ A Valentine's day telegram service, and a special April 1st issue of phoney stories are new features brought with the LANCE — ee 5 ee In one of the sophomore L.A. classes, students are given free reading time Study time is not always taken seri- ously as Chris Fisher, Steven Gonder- man, Tom Hershberger, and Greg Eash find time to socialize. 98 LANGUAGE ARTS AND MATH Time in the library is used to com- plete math assignments by Jim Sherck and Julie Kantner. _— — = ) A geometry assignment is com- pleted by Pam Jewett and Steve Krah.

Taking notes for later reference are Heidi Bauer, Missy Huber, Jolinda Bar- den, Rosann Miller, and Jody Kauff- man. £ Social Studies courses are popular courses, mainly because they are required. Two commonly made selections are Economics and Sociology (the study of groups of people). U.S. History and Government, how- ever, are two classes students must choose in order to gradu- ate. Witnessing a trial is one pro- ject in Government enjoyed by all. The highlights of the year in History are debating subjects such as, ‘‘Did the U.S. have the right to drop an atomic bomb on Japan?”’ Some of the debates come out with surprising end- ings. Who knows? Maybe some- day the History books will have to be re-written. SOCIAL STUDIES 101 Looking over the Spanish menu is Ann Ludwig Students who have problems passing English courses should perhaps consider trying a for- eign language. In German this year the Ger- man Ill class gave the play ‘““Schneewitchen,”’ which, translated means, ‘‘Snow White.’’ The German class also celebrated German holidays and sometimes could be seen outside tearing up the field in a game of soccer, the number one sport in Germany. The Spanisn classes learned about the Spanish culture through skits the students made up and performed for the class. They also got practice with the Spanish way of bargaining prices, and got a taste of the Spanish life with Spanish food the students prepared and sam- pled. Eating in a ‘‘Spanish restaurant”’ is humorous to Cindy Terry and Randy Wilson Mike Hatfield, Jim Galt, and Alan Reed display their acting talents in the Ger- man version of ‘‘Snow White.” Exploring Different Ways of Life 102 GERMAN AND SPANISH Finishing up some last minute home- work is Chris Stahly, Deanne Stuart, and Steve Ambrose A touching scene in the play “Schneewitchen”’ involve the prince and Snow White (alias Mike Galt and Kym Stump).

Once the year is over, the sophomore syn drome starts. It comes with ordering class rings taking drivers training and finally getting the license. But it.is an in-between stage so that even with a license there might be no car. Junior year is nice, being an upperclassman again as more opportunities open up. ECCC for half a day and the prom. Then comes the big year. The rulers’ of the school. It's talking in the lobby going steady, early release and late arrival, top spots in sports, and the feeling that this is the last time to do that activity (so live it up). The 0 perso l ac if re “gees and teachers do their best the ‘Never, ever, EVER wet your pants’’ was the advise given to first TS grader Kathy Huys as these seniors in the last minutes of the game, Cindy Miller portray the advice given to them and Susan Hayes work hard from grades 1-12 at the Review The combined choirs watch the direc- tions given during the Christmas concert held in the auditorium.

JUNIORS 125 Nobody Does It Better... Thana senior Seniors have always been full of advice, although underclassmen fre- quently believe that they are just plain full of it. Dave Mockler appears to be presenting some of this advice in his usual “‘uniquely Dave”’ way. Tammy Truex and Laura Laffoon are prime examples of a couple of fun- loving seniors who have fun wherever they are. Teachers are often heard comment- ing about the seniors’ study habits, or rather the lack of studying being done. Here, Clark Mumaw proves that sen- iors do know where the Library is, although many of them are still won- dering what it’s for. The flowers formed into a big 80 represent four years of work, fun, laughter, and tears for the senior class. Roland Smith concentrates on build- ing the senior class float; it took a lot of concentration. The seniors did get their float done, however, and they didn't even have to push it as they did their junior year. seni ame and ate frie before the awards were presen friendliest, Brent Bardo and Kathy were given frown buttons.

Speaker, Brent Bardo, helped bring back many fond memories as well as glance into the future at the senior banquet. One of the many ways to spend an evening is to go to a ballgame. Service clubbers, Ginger Johnson and Karon VanFleeren, sell candy, pop, and pop- corn to make the football game more enjoyable. The second annual senior banquet proved to be fun and informative.

We have been living with you for a year, and we think it has been an interesting experience for both you and us. One of our goals was to show you that people, wherever they come from, have the same needs and feelings. Some stu- dents may still think that we are “weird aliens,’’ but we have the feeling that most of you got to know us and realized that we have a nose, a mouth and two eyes just like you! So we want to thank you for accepting us (even if we were a little bit crazy!) and we want to give special thanks to some stu- dents and teachers (the list of names would be too long!) who really gave us a part of them- selves. We both really enjoyed our experience, . Val from Switzerland Jurgen from Germany Enjoying the bus ride up to the ski lodge are Mike Smith and Jurgen Spe- gel 4 Dear Frends. ..
