Northridge High School - Shield Yearbook (Middlebury, IN)

Raiders have it. (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.
