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

Exchange student Anna Nilsson, arrives at senior Cindy Miller's house, with seven hours jet lag and a whole year to look forward to As the Fith Season arrives home after a 10 day tour in Florida, seniors Shelly Troyer and Crystal Wise give Phil Thomas (Concord) a big hug Summer “E.T. phone home!” The summer of ’82 will always be remembered for the movie E.T., the squatty little space creature wasn’t the only one who was away from home. 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!
