Northridge High School - Shield Yearbook (Middlebury, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 192 of the 1982 volume:

(Yes, they have spirit, but besides that.) It’s called im- agination, and it shows in everything they do. It’s fuel for school spirit. It makes the school year come to life and gets people involved. Whether nerds, punkies, all Raiders helped concoct the extracurricular extravaganzas that made this year unique. Red wagon races and piggyback basket- ball were shining examples of Raider spunk. So was the Green and Gold Prevue, (an NHS sequel to Saturday Night Live). And who else but the preppies, or Imagine What?! Raiders would have enough taste to appreciate annual visits from the local celebrity, Santa Carmen-Claus? The sports scene at Northridge brightened, thanks to some hard work from the teams. The basketball team pulled a season record to be proud of, and the wrestlers made an ap- pearance at semi-state. Athletes of every breed strutted their style in girls basketball and tennis, golf, track, cross country, football and baseball. Enterprising students let their talent flow in other areas as well. Choir members sang their hearts out for gold medals at state contest. The band shared a spot in the limelight also, marching its way to an honorable second place rating at state contest. Cast members of “Cheaper by the Dozen” displayed their acting powers to all. In spite of snow days, and a spring break that ended too soon (as usual), the annual case of senioritis and a touch of “dunes fever’, the year rolled right along. Where did it all go? Leave it to your imagination. The Raiders did! Juniors Kevin Rhodes and Gary Peter make hurdle stretches look easy as they stretch their legs to go running. There are many ways people show their Raider spirit, and junior Crystal Wyse has no trouble finding her own special style.

Who will be the lucky girl, the one to win the coveted title of “homecom- ing queen?” The four senior girls waited it out until the results were announced at the game, while the freshman, sophomore, and junior candidates basked in the honor of be- ing selected by their classmates. At half time, the Angola Hornets had edged the Raiders score wise, but the excitement of the queen contest drowned out dismay. Starry-eyed queen candidates enjoyed their tem- porary royalty as they were escorted around the track in classy classic cars. In their spiffy suits, the escorts looked as nervous as the queens, but the tension broke with the final an- nouncement. “The winner is ... Kris Harper!” The limelight went to Kris and her escort Gregg Eash, who beamed as flashes went off all around them. The game ended in a loss, but the magic of the moment was definitely a highlight.

Sitting are sophomore Lori Robinson, junior Darlene Neumann, senior Patti Yoder, senior Kris Harper, senior Melanie Miller, senior Kim Davis, freshman Kori Bontrager. Not Quite Ready for Prime Time... Northridge students took the community by storm with their blockbuster talent show — the Green and Gold Preview. Everything from rock bands to aliens from outer space invaded the stage to show off their talents. Song and dance routines and vocal solos were a few more examples of the Northridge creativity factor. Whether the acts were serious or silly, the crowd loved them, and the students got a kick out of performing. Organization problems cropped up early when plans for the Green and Gold were announced. It seemed that everyone had a case of stage fright. But students came through when it counted, and the result was one of the most successful Green and Gold's in several years. Judging from the photos, could anyone ever imagine that the kids were too shy to perform? No way! It’s another first for Northridge spirit. The ever-so-charming Mitch Slabach dips Liz Galt in their song and dance creation. After dedicating the song to his girlfriend, Jerry Lawson touches the audience with his roman- tic ballad. nd Lori Robin- All punked out, Mark Hilton, Sam ith their high Hoover and Dan last away with their version of the Sex Pistols “Hey, man, why aren't you punk, too?” ask Kryston Noble, Patti Troyer, Charlene Bonrager, and Laura Thompson.

The battle cries raged all week long as the classes competed for the number one position. Spirit Week events, including wagon races, pig- gyback basketball and tug-of-war, let the spirit shine. Juniors — the class of '83 — arose victorious after a tough fight, but the competitive attitude compelled almost all students to do their best. Punked-out students roamed the hallways and “Flashers” even ap- peared in slinky shades, trench coats and low-brimmed hats. Fun was had by all during Spirit Week '81-’82. Decorating the halls for Spirit Week can work up a real thirst. Sophomore Michelle Weaver, “I could have had a V-8! instead of a Hi-C. “Pride! ...

Sandy Todd looks like she is having fun help- ing with this “magical illusion.” Show Time! A break in the school day! A chance for students to be together! Entertainment to make people smile! The assembly program at Northridge provides all these things and more. The assemblies this year ranged from two comedy magicians to a slide show from Campus Life. Other attractions included a pantomime act, a music group by the name of ARC, and a discussion about sexual abuse. What variation! What culture! What school? Northridge! Who else? Involvement: That’s Entertainment Dress rehearsal, “hell night,” opening night, laughter, applause, curtain calls, the cast, and the crews are the things that make being involved in the school play so fun and exciting. The 1981-82 Drama Department production of Cheaper by the Dozen created memorable experiences for all those involved. Directed by Mrs. Ellen Augustine and Miss Lynn Thomas, along with the help of stu- dent director Kerri Yoder, the comedy was a major success. On both nights that the play ran, the audience was packed with drama enthusiasts. Everyone involved in the production can look back and be proud of a job well done.

PO Ss nw SS J Out to Lunch There probably wasn’t a student at Northridge who didn’t count down the minutes of his last class before lunch hour. The students, however, found themselves relatively bored after they were finally released. After playing volleyball or basketball, or just sitting in the lobby, there was a lull of activity. But as the weather got warmer, a group of creative girls started up an interesting game of Red Rover on the front lawn. The guys took up foot- ball. Maybe Northridge didn’t need planned activities after all. What was needed turned out to be just a little imagination. Kent Kauffman listens to sounds that only he can hear, thanks to his “Walk- Man” tape player The lobby benches are favorite noon-hour hang outs for many students.

This inverted prom featured the works, including last year’s dehydrated cor- sages, blurry Polaroids, and two dandy little movies “Puss In Boots” and “A Kitten for Kim.” The girls got to do the heavy work on this morpish date, like buying the semi-trashy dinner at McDonald's, opening doors for their guy, and paying for the dance. The anti-formal morp dress code didn't keep couples from coordinating far out costumes everything from matching sailor outfits to identical Mickey Mouse tee shirts and ears. In this reversed prom, guys and girls agreed that turnabout is fair play.

It’s an in- evitable fact of life that creeps up on unsuspet ting persons Fads tend to go in cycles Trends went from bobby socks, to knee socks, back to bobby socks, then to no socks at all Kids who started out in Geranimals ended up in Izods Almost everyone invested in a pair of the new and exciting “boat shoes” while the old favorites of Nike and Adidas seem destined to stay around forever. And of course, jeans have held onto their populari- ty. With names like Jordache, Calvin Klein and Gloria Vanderbilt saturating the Concert t-shirts from all the latest rock concerts were fashion favorites among the not-so- preppy crowd. Darlene Nuemann wears comfortable Nikes, the ever-popular brand of tennis shoes, as she cleans out her locker markets, hardly a soul remain- ed who hadn't broken down and bought at least one pair of designer jeans. For the daring personality, yunk” was the way to go. this style may have been a bit far-out for small-town Middlebury, but some students practiced it in moderation. But “preppy” definitely won the fad popularity race in 81-82. Amazingly enough, billfolds and purses kept pumping out enough money to support these fad habits. Styles are ever-changing. It’s tough to imagine what people will think up next. Even shoe strings were hit by the preppy trend, and soon other zany designs began ap- pearing on shoe laces Memories in the Making at the Prom The prom was held on May 8 at Ar- thur’s in Elkhart, but the spirit of Prom was in the air long before that date. The worries and frustrations of finding that special date began at least one full month in advance. The evening began with supper at 7:00, followed by dancing until mid- night. Shortly before this magical hour, Miss Gail Moody and Mr. Don Weirich crowned Darin Pratt and Enjoying the special atmosphere of the prom evening are Janel Schrock, Harley Baker, Gloria Watson, and Kim Kurtz Charlene Bontrager as Prince and Princess, and Dennis Blyly and Patti Yoder became King and Queen for the evening After the dance, most couples walked to the nearby cinema to see the movie “On Golden Pond.” Most prom-goers arrived home in time to grab a few hours of sleep, and rose bright and early the next morn- ing for a full day of activities with Mr. Don Weirich and Miss Gaid Moody do the honors as Charlene Bontrager and Darin Pratt are crowned princess and prince Kevin Evans shares an intimate moment with his date their dates. Many visited either the dunes or Marriot’s Great America on the post-prom Sunday After such a busy weekend, many students found it necessary to take a day off on Monday. On Tuesday, however, they returned to school nor- mal and healthy, to receive an ever- popular green slip from Mrs. Rhodes. Almost everyone dreams of being chosen as prom royalty. This dream came true for “Queen” Patti Yoder and “King Dennis Blyly If Randy Wilson is nervous, he certainly doesn’t show it.

The seniors of 82 counted down their final school days, and many found they had mixed feelings about graduating. Most were anxious to be done with school, with homework and tests. So the annual epidemic of senioritis set in. Many in a way regretted leaving high school as they looked back on all the basketball games, the homecom- ings, and other good memories of fun and friends. Whether their futures held college, a job, or marriage, the seniors seemed to agree that they looked forward to life after high school. At graduation, journalist Jack Col- well, columnist at the South Bend Tribune, addressed the graduates, and Randy Wilson and Emily Bryant also spoke to the class of '82. Before it was all over, there were a few tears, as some graduates realized they might not see their friends until their first class reunion. But most looked eagerly toward their post-high-school freedom.

The effort Scott Graber uses is clearly evident as he heaves the shot put at one of the home meets. Tracking Down Victories Give those men a blue ribbon! The boys’ track team earned scads of blue ribbons this year, wrapping up their season with a respectable 7-4 record. Raiders also performed well in relay competitions. The team aced the Class B Concord Relays for the third con- secutive year. The guys also won honors at the Fort Wayne Carrol and Goshen relays. Records were broken and rebroken during the 81-82 season. Marq Bates, who was named MVP in sprints and hurdles, broke the 300 meter low hurdles record. But his fame was short-lived: Gregg LaRue soon bettered Bates’ new record. The 400 meter relay record was broken by the relay team of Brent Cooper, Gary Peter, Steve Ambrose, and Bob Deters. This relay team rebroke its own record later in the season. Scott Graber rounded out his field events career with numerous victories, and was selected MVP in field events. Two qualified from Northridge for regionals this year. Marq Bates competed in the high hurdles. Mark “the Bird” Purdy, a veteran of the regionals, placed seventh in the 800 meter run. Purdy, who was named distance MVP, was beaten only once during the past two regular track seasons.

A Trying Season The 1981 Raider football team, led by captains Rick Grewe and Scott Graber, finished the season at 3-7. The statistics, however, do not indicate the style of play that was displayed by the players. There were many individuals who contributed special efforts and won much-deserved awards. This year's MVP’s were Scott Graber — offensive and Phil Gage — defensive. Working together, the team defeated Jimtown, Bronson, and New Prarie. Although the season did end in a losing record, the players felt good about the pride and spirit in their team. f At the opening of a game, Kevin LeMond charges between the spirit lines as Northridge fans cheer During the homecoming game, Scott Giddens takes the sting out of an Angola Hornet as his teammates rush to assist.

Taking It in Stride At first glance, one would think that a 3-7 record constitutes a poor season. That was not the case with this year’s cross country team. The desire was always there, even if the victories weren't and the season had plenty of highlights. Junior Lydell Troyer was named the Most Valuable Runner at the con- clusion of the season. He finished the regular season with eight blue rib- bons and then went on to the regional by finishing seventh at the sectional. Senior Jon Carpenter was coach Gary Modlin’s number two runner. His best efforts were a second and a third against Westview. Junior Wes Herschberger was the 3 runner for most of the fall. His best meets were also against Westview where he received a third and a second. The team competed in two invita- tional meets where they came in second at New Prairie and fifth at Lakeland. They were sixth out of ten schools at the sectional which was run at Ox Bow Park in Dunlap. Imagine next fall: only three of the twelve runners were seniors!

According to coach Jeanine Roberts, it was powerful spiker and offensive MVP Michelle Erickson, and defen- sive MVP Lori Robinson that led the lady Raiders to oust more than half of their rivals. Roberts also stressed teamwork. With many outstanding underclassman players and a coach with 8 years of experience coaching Northridge volleyball, the team has nowhere to go but up. Young Team Does Well The boys’ tennis team rounded out its season with a respectable 6-7 record. Mr. Kermit Miller coached his first year, taking over for last year’s coach Mr. Mike McCoy. The team has been in existence for four years; team members say they hope to improve their record next year. This year’s team had only four seniors, and seven of the players were freshmen. Tom Hershberger was voted as MVP for the 1981-82 season. Mark Bates isn’t really scream- ing; he's just concentrating very hard on his serve.

Yes, Miss Marci Morri was the new coach. The tennis girls got to know Miss Morri when she began substitute teaching for teachers at Northridge, so that by the time the tennis season rolled around they knew her fairly well. Girls’ tennis is becoming more popular each year, as the girls put more into it. People are starting to see that these girls mean business, and that they’re putting effort forth to make the team good. The team made a goal to win at least half of their matches. They reached this goal with a record of 7-5 at the end of the season. Opening one’s mouth apparently improves tennis technique, or at least Liz Galt finds this tactic helpful. Raiders Break Records The girls had a trying year in track. Their total record was 2-7. Yet they did set some school records. In the 1600 m. run Tonya Cook ran a superb 6:10. Janet Hostetler, Jean Hostetler, Maria Leto, and Jennifer Haney broke the record with 54.1 in the 400 meter relay. Running a great time of 4:30 was Chris Franko, Janet Hostetler, Jennifer Haney, and Sue Galt in the 1600 meter relay. There were three outstanding players named in track this year: Robyn Cline — Field Events, Tonya Cook — Distance, Janet Hostetler — Sprint. So even if this was a trying year for the girls, they set quite a few personal records. Tonya Cook gains on a Bethany opponent as the starting gun sounds.

Just think of all they do to keep the spirit factor high. They go to all the games to cheer the team on even if the weather is lousy, or if they have homework, or if they have to drive a long way to an away game They cheer during football seasons in skimpy skirts when everyone else is huddled in the stands, wrapped in blankets, sipping hot chocolate. They organize “secret sisses,” and this year they even decorated the rooms of the guys on the basketball team. The cheerleaders stay after school to decorate. They organize pep sessions to get everyone hyped for games. They come up with catchy chants, and they keep smiling even if they goof up on a cheer. But cheerleading is more than leading cheers; it’s making spirit contagious! ].V. cheerleaders front row, Ken Hankins, Cindy Yoder, Sue Yoder, Julie James, back row, Laura Thompson, Becky Bowman, Jana Stutzman, and Chery!

This was the atmosphere which surrounded the ‘81-’82 boys basketball sectionals. That outstanding victory was reached only after a season of long, hard teamwork, and a few disappointing defeats, as well as many spirit-backed victories.

Ready for Action Determination and lots of hard work brought the team to a final record of 5 wins and 11 losses. And although that may not seem like the best record, the girls put up a real battle for many tough area teams, and kept their win-loss ratio about the same as the previous year. The most valuable player for the second year in a row was Deb Biller. Senior Leads Young Team The young NHS grapplers started the season with two wins. The young team, however, could not keep the perfect record and ended the season with five wins and eight losses. This record does not show the personal wins. The individuals were winners even though the record does not show a winning season. The senior, Scott Graber, set the school record for the least amount of time for a pin. He pinned his opponent in eleven seconds. He was named MVP. Jeff Miller also set a record with eighteen pins out of twenty-four matches. Jeff also was named best in take-down. Jeff Miller, Scott Graber, and Arlyn Miller all placed first at the Goshen Invitational. Jeff, Scott, Arlyn, and Scott Giddens went to the sectional. Scott Graber and Jeff Miller finished their season at the Semi-state after hard losses. Aggressive Northridge wrestlers like Scott Graber always show their opponents that they mean business!

Each year more and more students from every class have found music at Northridge to be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. This year, over twenty-five percent of the student body was involved in music in one way or another. All of the students were divided between the eight courses and extracur- ricular groups. Those groups were: concert band and choir, pep band, women’s choir, jazz band, Sound of Friends, auxiliary, and alter- nating music theory and music ap- preciation. Throughout the year, the various groups performed in a number of contests and concerts. A majority of the groups received superior ratings at the contests that they performed in. Cindy Miller “blows her brains out” in a jam session at jazz band. Susie Bontrager spends her free time practicing her Sound of Friends music. =15 Mr. Rasler and Charlene Bontrager hold a 7 brief discussion. Mr. Pletcher, the new band director, discusses up- coming events with the band. Mr. Willig gives Patty Troyer and Julie Ludwig a little help adjusting a balance during a lab in. vestigation in chemistry. Chemistry “punks” Patty Troyer, Julie Ludwig, Kryston Noble and Steph Smith work on an exercise in their lab books. Helping Computer Math students with the basics is teacher Phil Hartzler Math Science: New and Improved Who says the curriculum is in a rut? Certainly not the math and science departments, both of which put forth time, effort, and money to offer top-rate, up-to-date courses. One such class is computer math — a rigorous course designed to teach the basics of computer math using the new Commodore P.E.T. CBM computer. It’s more than just punching buttons, and it’s tougher than the average Atari. Kids find this course’can be a real brain-boggler without a solid algebra background, but under the instruc- tion of computer-wiz Mr. Hartlzer, most kids are able to sweat it out. A major overhaul shook the science department also. The lat est additions include one new teacher, three premiering classes, and zillions of spanking new textbooks (one set for each science course offered). As a sneak preview of the physics course, physical science appeared on the science scene. Biology II and Independent Biology are brand new lab classes for devoted science majors. Where there are science courses, there must be science teachers.’ The faculty tacked one new name onto the science roster this year: Mr. Kermit Miller. (No he was not named after Kermit the muppet frog.) A six month stay on an Indian reservation preceded Mr. Miller's career as a biology teacher. Imagine all the advancements possible for students, with all these new people and programs! “Have you played Atari today?” Senior Shawn Erickson has. Here he matches wits with the TV screen. The Shape of Things “Time up!” “Faster!” “Let's move!” “Oh my aching muscles!” Sound familiar? Probably so to everyone who took physical education this year. P.E. teachers Mr. Reed and Mrs. Kaminskis (affectionately Mrs. K) stressed improving individual skills and learning teamwork. At the expense of a little sweat, P.E. students couldn't help but get into shape. Health classes focus along the same lines as P.E. classes do. However, in the past, the emphasis was placed on health theory and personal hygiene rather than the physical fitness side of things. This year’s students studied the art of keeping fit. Some classes even took up jogging and everyone participated in the “Biofeedback on Smoking” program. With all these projects and activities, the health habit isn’t hard to catch. What goes on when the teacher's back is turned? Eric Vollman gets laughs with his il- lustration of the day's lesson. P.E. classes participate in a co-ed volleyball game and both teams seem to be having fun. Volleyball is just one of the many activities in a health class. Students have many different views of what health really is. Ken Miller checks his steadiness of hand on a machine designed to test tobacco’s effect on coordination. Art on the Line Art is a creative escape from the school routine. Creative students explore numerous modes and mediums of art, such as clay, plaster, metal, and others. Senior art majors use the pot- ter’s wheel to transform muddy lumps of clay in- to attractive ceramic pieces, or weave rugs with intricate patterns on the table loom. Art is emotion made visual. To sharpen this sense of artistic mood, students researched well known artists, visited art museums in Elkhart and Toledo, Ohio, and even watched local ar- tists in action. Over spring break, four art students joined the German language class ex- cursion to Europe. While there, they observed the art traditions of several countries. European art styles may differ from American styles in some ways, but students discovered that artistic expression knows no real language barriers. reating.

Mr. Modlin takes time out of his accounting class to tangle with a Rubik's snake, while Steve Gonderman looks on, awestruck. Julie Miller Correcto-Types an error. Official Business The NHS business department always tries to keep pace with the real business world. For instance, this year new and modern electric typewriters replaced the manual clunkers (finally!). Shorthand students practiced scribbling those mysterious codes for future letter-taking skills. Accounting scholars whizzed through the memorable practice sets “Quadrasonics” and “New Horizons,” although many were appalled by the dumb titles of these business simulations. Like to argue? Then you'd like Business Law where this year’s students ex- amined and debated business and criminal law cases. All these things, plus Mr. Modlin’s unique way with words (“Now this is a key concept!”) provide Northridge with an effective program. No one can say we aren't minding our business! Michelle Erickson and Cindy Yoder strive for speed and accuracy during a timed writing. Cindy keeps her typing eraser nearby, just in case —=. What's the joke? Cheryl Mast and Tracy Noel seem to know, but Julie Merrick, Karen Lee, Steve Bannister, and Monica Pfanzelt concen- trate on their accounting transactions. Practice sets don’t always balance out, as most accounting students discover. Mr. Modlin clarifies a problem for Tracy Noel. After combining all the right ingredients, Doc Sarver and Mark Royce find it amusing to watch Delwyn Kropf plop the dough onto the cookie sheet. Following a pattern isn’t always easy, as Stephanie Nettrouer discovered while making a blazer. Mrs. Snider gladly lends a bit of sew- ing advice Stitching and Sandwiching Home Ec has become more integrated than ever before. Although few guys take sewing, many enjoy cooking classes. Most Home Ec students find that working with friends to concoct delicious (and sometimes not-so-delicious) dishes is fun and surprisingly educational. Sewing students took on challenging patterns and ended up with professional looking blouses, skirts, and blazers. From organizing recipe card files to untangling a fouled-up sewing machine, the skills learned in Home Economics will come in handy long after high school. Preparing to work on her sewing project, Teena Spradlin examines “her” sewing machine. The cookies are in the oven, and after working hard to make the recipe perfect, Lisa Tyson and her partner decide to taste the batter. The soup’s hot, but it must be good, judging by the look on Janice Lang's face. No Language Gap Here Although Germany and Mexico are distant lands, the spirit of their culture is captured in the foreign language department. By celebrating a few of the many foreign holidays, students get a taste of foreign life. Each year the German students take part in their own Oktoberfest and Wehinacten while Spanish students celebrate their Navidad and Ano Nuevo. Some students even go as far as to travel to Germany or Mexico during their spring break. All in all the foreign language students still manage to conjugate verbs while ex- ploring culture ... and that takes imagination. Mrs. Meuninck delivers a lecture in Spanish II, but it appears that Kurt Baker is more in- terested in receiving the latest scoop from Pauline Elias. Although Pam Peachy and Teri Franko ex- perience some trouble during their demonstra- tion, their concern looks minimal. A concerned Mr. Frazier listens patiently as Kathy Branum asks a few questions about her assignment Getting the Basics Social Studies and Language Arts are two of the most demanding subjects that students are required to take. History and Government students stayed busy all year, taking notes and tests and meeting bulletin board deadlines. Field trips to the Goshen Courthouse, as well as in-class debates, helped to ease the tension of the classes. L.A. electives gave most students the chance to meet Jerome Shostak, the word whiz who annually expounds his verbiage on unsuspecting students. Term papers, book reports, and library research became familiar to most students, since all students must major in the art of language. In Government class, Mr. Kattau stresses a key point as seniors take down the information. Always busy, Mrs. Augustine worksheets for her next L.A. class. staples All eyes are on Mr. Wilkey as he brings the past to light for his History class. Leroy Mann and Deanne Stewart role play while other members of Creative Writing class relax and watch. Students learn welding in Metals class. Here, Dean Rockwell practices the tricks of the trade. Tunnel vision? No, it’s just Brian Lang, looking up from his Woods project. Mr. Weirich demonstrates to Kevin Rice the “how to's” of Industrial Arts. Industrial Artistry The smell of sawdust, the whir of distant table saw, and the black-rimmed safety glasses are the trademarks of the group of skills known as industrial arts. The sawdust comes from Woods class, where students craft rough wooden slabs into everything from game boards to waterbed frames. Safety glasses are especially important for Metals students, who do lots of welding. Drafting, a prerequisite to architecture, requires exact and precise drawing. And Graphic Arts combines creativity with printing processes. Working in Industrial Arts gives a sense of pride. As one I.A. major put it, “T like to do projects because when I’m done, I can stand back and say, ‘I made that and it looks great!’ That's a good feeling.” - Woods class involves much more than just whacking nails into boards. Rod Sutton demonstrates the intense concentration necessary to make a high-precision project. people Seniors The Class of 1982 Class Motto In the beginning keep what you believe and in the end it will be accepted.

By the end of a school year, some students feel like work is all they ever do. Whether homework, sports, clubs, a part time job, or all of the above, there are some students who put everything they have into everything they do. Each year, the NHS faculty and ad- ministration get together to honor all of those talented students. The awards that were given out at the 1981-82 Awards Day ranged from attendance awards to a full ride scholarship to the Ohio Institute of Teghnology which was awarded to senior Ted Miller. Of course there was the tradi- tional presentation of trophies to Mr. Pratt and MVP recogni- tion. The NHS Awards Day gives many students the incentive to work hard all year long.

Mr. Modlin’s fifth hour accounting class learned the date of his birthday and pulled off a perfect surprise party — com- plete with decorations, music, and a cake with trick candles. It really floored him. Miss Moody’s combination birthday farewell party was plotted and executed by her affectionate fifth hour typing class, a group of kids who gave her a jumpsuit as a gilt. “The look on the teachers’ faces was the highlight,” said one surprise party giver. Kerri Yoder, Charmene Andrews, and Melanie Miller tip their hats to the audience. The Big Night Those weeks of hard practice and nerves finally culminated in the big night — the 1982 Junior Miss Competition. Everything had to be perfect — the outfits, make-up and stage lighting, all to make the senior girls participating look their best. The talent portion of the program brought much variety, from Kim Davis’s clown dance to Charmene Andrews’ vocal solo. The judges must have had a tough time deciding, but when their decision was an- nounced, Kim Davis was elated to accept the title from former junior miss Tamie Braddock. First runner-up Charmene Andrews sings with emotion her version of “Love the World Away.” Shortly before winning the coveted Junior Miss crown, Kim Davis beams with anticipation. Pantomiming with her friends, Kim Davis does her winning talent routine to the popular song “Working My Way Back to You.” Raiderettes betray many expressions at basket- ball games as seen with Charmane Andrews and Chris Hackett. Raider Mania... on the Loose There is an organization at Northridge in which member- ship has become increasingly popular in the past three years. The job of this organization is to’ cooperate with the cheerleaders in maintaining a high level of spirit. What is this organization? It’s the Raiderettes and Boys’ Booster Club, of course! With many of the members wearing Raider t-shirts and occasionally waving a green and gold pom-pon, the students did their best to spread infectious “Raider Mania.” Whether yelling in organized cheers, helping with hall decorations, or just plain screaming with enthusiasm, the Raiderettes and Boosters were always around to demonstrate their support for all of the Raider teams. : bel SAMARIA 8 SAAN ™AAANN cael Seniors Kim Davis and Joy Kauffman grin from ear to ear as they leave to get ready for one of Northridge’s sectional games. 432 HIGH SCHC Be. Excitement is always contagious when Raiderettes and boosters join forces to cheer on their favorite team. As a tribute to the Northridge basketball team, Jon Carpenter ran from Northridge to Northside Gym where sectionals were held. Rifles are featured as the horn players put all efforts into playing “Birdland.” After the band’s performance at state marching band contest in Terre Haute, Director Jeff Plet- cher eyes their trophy. Extracurricular Rhythm The first band sound of the season was the military rhythm of the marching band. Then half way through the year, the pep band took over with their versatile cheering rhythm to back the fans. While through it all, the jazz band added its swinging rhythm and blues. All of these sounds added together can equal only one thing: talent! Most of the students in the instrumental music program at Northridge opted to participate in at least one if not all of the extracurricular bands. Involve- ment in any of the bands, of course, means a number of evening and early morning practices as well as numerous performances. Even though the work was hard and the payment small, most students agreed that the fun and satisfaction that comes from being involved in the bands made it well worth the effort. Drum majors Cindy Miller and Kelly Lacy proudly display the trophies won by this season's marching band. Pumping out an up-tempo song during basket- ball halftime are pep band members Kelly Cripe, Kathy Schueneman, Meribeth Groves, Brian Hire, and Ted Miller. Gary Ganger keeps his eye on the music while his hat watches the director. At an outdoor pep session, the band performed their contest show for the student body. During “Popeye” drum major Cindy Miller and Kerrie Yoder create special effects on xylophones, while drum major Kelly Lacy directs. Matt Kilmer finds the library an ideal spot to finish an assignment. Sometimes studying isn't the only thing that goes on in the materials center. Matt Hughes, Jeff Wilson, and Mitch Miller joke around at the book check-out counter. Sharon Todd checks through the periodical files for a magazine needed for a report Shortly before summer vacation, the library undergoes major inventory. Searching through the card catalogue, library worker Doug Estridge helps to insure that all books are ac- counted for. More Than Bookwork The library is quite a popular place during the school day, with students checking in to study or to socialize with friends. Mr. Shroyer, affectionately known as “Harve,” keeps things under control with the help of the “bookies,” the kids who work in the library. They're the ones who help students check out books, tape over-due notices on un- suspecting lockers, and vend school supplies. Most “‘bookies” enjoy their jobs because they get to socialize more freely in the material center than in a classroom situation. They learn library techniques, too, like mending books that become tattered from overuse and abuse. Imagine all the books they must repair the day after thesis papers are due! Time for a break? Mr. Shroyer takes a moment to relax while Mrs. Augustine concentrates on grading papers. Playing the Deadline Game Not all the deadlines were met this year. The 1981-82 Shield ran behind schedule. But prompted by students inquiring “When do we get our year- books?”, the yearbook - staff worked during Christmas break and the summer months to finish the yearbook. The “young” staff of mostly underclassmen slaved over layouts and writing while the photographers set out to put the school year on film. With lots of cooperation and occasional arguments, the year- book finally came together. On the other end of NHS publications, the Lance kept on top of student news, while the staff gained insight into the newspaper business. Staff members wrote and reported, did art work, and helped to “paste up” the paper. Since the staff was small, everyone got a taste of each job. Putting a yearbook together isn’t as easy as one might think. Here, Editor Judi Carpenter gives a few pointers to Susi Ross as she works on a@ page layout. SA Lance staff: Chris Fisher, Tony Graber, Steve Krah, Editor Susie Bontreger, Rhonda Flem- ming, Lori Nettrouer, Penny Burkett, Chris Whetstone, Steve Streeter, Arte Shafer, Dawn Shaddock, and Advisor Mr. Leonard Beechy.

Ace skier Kean Hankins displays his skill at down-hill skiing. Business is always good for the service club at basketball games. Hotdogging down the slopes is one of Eric Vollman’s favorite pastimes. “ . = Gubs Cold weather, leaves falling, and eventually snow falling are all warn- ing signals that the ski season is com- ing. The 1981 season was no excep- tion. With good skiing conditions dominating the season, all twenty ski club members spent every spare minute racing down the slopes at the Swiss Valley Ski Resort in Michigan. Even though there were some in- cidents of skiers falling off the tow ropes, nothing more than egos were bruised the entire season. Not everything in the winter is fun and games. The cold weather marks the beginning of many long hours of work for the service club. The service club is made-up of dedicated seniors who are willing to give their time to help the school. Their responsibilities include: a coat-check, a concession stand, helping with tickets, and cleaning up after the games. Trying to calm the jitters of performing at state contest, Darlene Nuemann and Missy Huber practice their routines with imaginary rifles. The Sound of Friends show off their finest form at a concert given for the student body. In spite of severe humidity, S.O.F. brought cheers and ap- plause from the audience at the Spring Choir Festival. Although the auxiliary was usual- ly on the move during contest show, flags and rifles stood at strict attention during parts of “Birdland,” as shown by Harley Baker.

E ach year Northridge’s most talented students take part in a series of tryouts in an attempt to become a member of the select auxiliary class or the Sound of Friends swing choir. Once the groups are selected the students spend an hour each day learning routines and memorizing songs for their performances. The auxiliary group performs with the marching band during football season and with the pep band dur- ing basketball season. The Sound of Friends per- forms throughout the school year in a variety of community and school events and at swing choir contest. So what do you say? Let's hear it for Northridge talent!! Drum major Kelly Lacy directs the marching band as the rifle corps performs a feature. Leaders Leadership in action was the main idea behind the organizations of the stu- dent council, the National Honor Socie- ty, and the Delegate Assembly. Each group set goals to contribute positively to as many people as possible during the school year. The Delegate Assembly was a new group whose main purpose was to ex- press the opinions of the student body concerning major issues in the school. Some of the issues included: a student lounge for smoking, student clubs, non- credit classes, and lunch-time activities Each of the members was selected by petition by the student body. Throughout the year, the student council and National Honor Society sponsored and hosted many events. The events were such things as: dances, teacher breakfasts, spirit activities, and tutoring and special help to students who needed it. Certainly these deserve much appreciation. efforts and students’ recognition The new student delegation receives a full description of their responsibilities from Mr. McCormick.

J x “i ent an Students mill around in the hallways after the last class of the day. Ready for Summer Another year draws to a close, with memories stil] fresh; of homecoming, the successfully revived Green and Gold Prevue, senior stunts like putting Shroyer’s car in the lobby, and many others. Several vacations from school due to blizzards, in- cluding a snowed-under spring break, interrupted the routine of the year. But the new computer course and the accelerated freshman algebra course also spiced up the curriculum and added challenges for the students. There were, of course, many other high school hap- penings, including the fads of Rubik's cubes, Walkman, and punk hair styles which marked 81-82 as a unique year. But then, again, who could imagine anything more unique than Northridge? Brian Alred and Gary Schrock rev up their cycles during the after-school rush in the park- ing lot.
