Those with wheels frequented the dunes and spent weekends cruising Goshen. Rock concert fans trekked far and wide to see their favorite groups, even to the State Fair to see Rick Springfield. As usual, the Elkhart County Fair was the place to ride rides, socialize, and enter 4-H projects. Pursuing an interest led some students hundreds of miles from home. Three Northridge choir members toured Europe with the Sound of Hope. The Fifth Sea- son, a singing group with many Northridge members, toured Florida. Senior Misi Yoder left for Switzerland for her year as an exchange student, while exchange students arrived in Middlebury from Sweden, Italy, and Denmark. Not everyone traveled. Many students arrived home and worked, or just laid in the sun. Members of the band, as well as the football, cross country, volleyball, and boys’ tennis teams, and cheerleaders, put in many hours of hard work. Summer is a busy season for some students, a lei- surely one for others. But as each school year nears the end how do most students visualize their summer? Sleeping In! First Day Of School How do | open my locker? Where is room 47? These are just a few of the questions that can be heard in the halls on the first day of school. North- ridge began the 1982-83 school year with the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes listening to Principal James McCormick explain the rules the student body is expected to live by. He also introduced the new additions to the Northridge faculty. The following day, the Freshman heard a slighty more detailed version of the same speech designed to prepare them for a life at Northridge. After that the students were released to go find their classrooms but most of them were too busy talking to friends they hadn’t seen all summer. They also wanted to catch up on all the latest gossip. Who cares about class? “Go down this hall and to the right ’ says Dan Shroyer to Jeff Rice Sophomore Jodi Bloss helps Kelly McKibben find her way to class AL 16-37-43 Are you sure these lockers open? Anna exchange student from Swe- den seems to need a little help Summer brings back many familiar faces, here Kristy Walters is thinking “‘l can't believe school is starting again.’ and Sue Yoder is dreaming of basking in the sun with some cruise-control rock roll The lobby provides an excellent place to meet people and see friends you haven't seen all summer ey Nee Ot es OR The wagon racers wait for the signal to push their teams to victory in the wagon race during Spirit Week “Let the Raiders Do the Walking’’ won the seniors the float competition and Spirit Week. This marked the return of the float tradition used to celebrate Homecoming Newly crowned Homecoming Queen Lisa Pletcher gleams with the excitement of the moment . It is apparent by the faces of these junior girls that they are giving it all they have to earn points for their class Jim Hackett (10), Doug Estridge (55), and Greg Roberts (71) are elated over a touchdown scored in the win against East Noble Bringing In The Old Homecoming was held early in the season; September 24, before the weather had even turned cold. But it was a homecoming to remember. The float building tradition was reinstated after a two year ban. And the football team overcame their 0-4 record to conquer East Noble 14-7 The floats, assembled at students’ homes, survived the tractor haul to the school. The senior float took first place with the theme ‘‘Let the Raiders Do the Walking’ from the Bell Telephone commercial. The freshman float de- picted the Pepsi ad, the sophomores chose the theme ‘Proud as a Pea- cock,’’ and the juniors’ theme was from the Crest toothpaste ad. Seniors also captured the high point total in spirit week activities: wagon races, tug-of-war, and punt-pass-and-kick The queen candidates, court, and escorts rode in Corvettes, and waited in the hush for the queen’s name to be announced. Lisa Pletcher shed a tear when she learned that her class had voted that she receive the honor. How that’s how homecomings are sup- posed to be! Fad The ordinary, every day stu dent shown here models some of the dominent fashions of 1983 Country-wide fads didn’t miss NHS this year! Jeans held onto their popularity with names like Jordace, Calvin Klein, Chic, Lee, and Levi appearing every where (Hardly a soul remains who doesn't have at least one “i , roar wer Bs aa Mania pair of designer jeans) Mini-skirts were a hot item among many girls and were often worn with leg warmers. In the shoe area, penny-loafers, ducks, Sportos, topsiders, mocas- sions, Nikes, and Adidas appeared quite often. Other neccessary fashion accessorys were bow-ties, zany shoe-strings, double triple pierced ears, punk clothes, and concert T-shirts. Styles are ever chang- ing. Its tough to imagine what people are going to think up next Scott Troyer models his new hairdo at the homecoming game Exchange students Dina and Alexandra, par ticipate in the punk day activities Spirit Of The Raiders Spirit Week brought some un- usual scenes to the Northridge halls. Far out punks and ‘“‘flash- ers’’ with trench coats and low brimmed hats roam the school. Spirit week events: tug-of-war, scooter races, and piggyback basketball, brought out the com- petitive spirit in all students. The final tally revealed that the senior class had won spirit week com- petition. Spirit generated during this week urged the team onto a homecoming victory. Pulling down his pants to prove his legs are the hairiest is senior Kevin Rhodes “I'll never go to another Mary Kay party’’ says freshman Mike Webster The expression on Jean Hostetler’s face makes you wonder what Darrin Elswick has her headed for Don't Scalp me! Let me go! Laura Thompson seems to be actually terrified of Mitch Slabach and Matt Bohr Singing about his ve for Annie Butler (Jay Boughner) looks lost . Annie Who? os Annie Get Your Gun was probably � the best attended and performed musi- cal that Northridge has ever produced in quite sometime. It’s typical ‘‘boy- meets-girl-and-falls-in-love’’ plot, along with its extremely talented cast provided an evening of family enter- tainment. However, this success was not an overnight miracle. Before opening night there were hours of practice and preparation. There were lines to memorize, blocking to learn, and ma- keup and costumes to be custimized to each particular character. Sets had to be built and stage and lighting crews trained and instructed. And on top of this homework was expected to be completed on time no excuses. It was worth it, an audience that expected to entertained was. They went away amazed at such an excellent perfor- mance from a high school. Just watch yourself Ms. Tate. Frank is Mine! warns Annie Oakley (Liz Galt) Buffalo Bill (Rex Miller), Dolly Tate (Laura Thompson), Pawnee Bill (Joe Bohr), and Charlie Tate (Mitch Slabach) toasts the merger Competing Talents That special moment that only a select few can enjoy, is being crowned Middlebury Junior Miss This year’s winner, Liz Galt joined this special group on Au gust 11, 1982. The contest was held in the Northridge auditorium with twelve girls participating The girls were: Liz Galt, Susan Hayes, Dina Bloss, Cami Clark, Janel Schrock, Kathy Cuthbert, Gloria Watsun, Kim Weaver, Lori Yoder, Deb Miller, Chris Hackett and Tina Graber. They wear judged in 5 catagories: talent physical fitness, grades, an inter view with the judges, and poise and appearance The runner-up for the pagent was Susan Hayes, who also won talent and scholarship Dina Bloss was the second runner-up Spirit of Junior Miss was won by Kim Weaver A Night Of Beauty “On the Wings of Love’’, theme song for the 1983 semi- formal, helped to set a perfect atmosphere for a fun and roman- tic evening. Blue and white crepe paper hung from the ceiling and decorated the tables, transform- ing the cafeteria into a world of romance. Couples danced the night away in each others arms, while a few brave people got out and actually ‘‘boogied’’. The mu- sic was provided by WRBR. Many people proclaimed it a per- fect night. These couples are k The Wings of Love St in each others arms on Dressed up or not, these couples v thing keep them from dancing Dancing to the soft music of a slow dance are Mike Malloy and Wendy Rogers, who seem to be enjoying themselves on this magical night Harley Baker helps straighten Rhonda Holderman's cap Rick Groom makes last minute prepara- tions before Graduation Coming down the aisle with mixed emotions on their faces are Lori Yoder and Val Hersch- berger School Board President, Roger Krider, hands Steve Streeter a richly deserved diploma Ready Or Not... Here we come! This was the feeling of the 1983 graduat- ing class. On May 21st., the senior class proudly walked through the gym and on to the stage to receive their diplomas they worked very hard for. With their diplomas in their hands they felt ready to take on the world! Although the sadness of saying good-bye to the friends they grew up with made them wish they had a little longer than summer to spend with each other, the graduates were anxious to get on with their lives. So watch out world here they come!

Students make everything from tools to stools, from waterbed frames to boards for games. Drafting, met- als, and woodworking which are some of the industrial classes teach the students the important technics needed for making their beautiful handiworks. Scott Mockler and Mark Hilton are dili- gently working on their projects as Dan Smith learns by watching Larry Roberts, John Wood, Gary Roberts, Randy Weinley, and Gary Schrock show what cooperation is as they work together to finish their projects While working on a machine one must be careful. Here Andy Mahaffa demonstrates to Lindford Bontrager and Jerry Herschberger the proper technics needed to handle a lathe Woodworking takes more skills than one can imagine as Kyle Bontrager demonstrates with his steadiness. ee Potpourri School is an important part of every student's life. Academics make up the major portion of the day. Classes range from Foreign Language to Indus- trial Arts, Science to Home Econom- ics, and English to Mathematics. While academics are a major portion of the day, many choose to participate in other ways like working in the office, athletics, as well as other extracurricu- lars. Other students choose to spend their time on the computers at school or busying themselves with Pep Club.

This was not the finish that the new coach, John Weaver, would have liked to have seen. But, looking into the future, Weaver said, ‘‘There is great potential’ for the Raider team. Beating East Noble, 14 to 7, on homecoming night was the highlight of the year. Other uplifting moments were when Weaver told his stories. Phil Gage had an outstanding year and was named MVP and 2nd team All State in the A.P. pole. Rick Groom was named Academic All State. Other outstanding players were Kevin Davis, best defensive player, and Darin Pratt, best offensive player. ——— The agony and frustration of defeat show on the face of tired varsity tackle Greg (Blob) Roberts PAS —_ i NOODROOODA Concord Northwood Jimtown Wawasee East Noble Angola Goshen Fairfield New Prairie Sideline football players celebrate the victory over East Noble Stuart Miller, Manager Rict nr Harshberger Randy Gr ve Ww � ckley € ’ idwig, Bill Bollinge ambright, Mike Gary Cripe Ted Graber srewe, Tr Raider Speed Competing in a sport which requires you to run over 2 % miles is much different from competing in most other sports.

The girls practice very hard every night and spend many hours jogging and doing various other activities to keep in shape. They attend every game even when the weather is bad and always do their best to keep every- one in high spirits. Even when there is not much to smile about the cheerleaders and their sponser, Terri Fore, keep smiling. Cheerleading is not just a free ticket to every game, it requires hard work and dedication.

All members of both groups put in a lot of hard work and long hours of practice in addition to 1 hour of class each day. All these hours help the auxiliary and sound of friends put on terrific shows throughout the year. The auxiliary performs for the students a number of times at football and basketball games. Although the students don’t get as many chances to see the SOF they are performing constantly throughout the year. Both groups are formed by try-outs each spring.
