The grocery-cart races start with a bang as Mr. Frazier supervises Bonfires, grocery-cart races, piggy- back basketball, food-eating contests and male cheerleaders were all a part of the football and basketball Spirit Weeks at Northridge. The cheerleaders and the students rallied together to cheer the home team to victory. Many events took place earlier in the week also. The teachers staged a mock foot- ball game in which Northridge won despite the fact that the win was somewhat dishonorable. Piggy-back basketball and the food-eating con- tests were the highlights of Spirit Week. Grocery-cart races took place to stir up the spirit of the students. Once again, Spirit Week was a suc- cess. Is it in? The shot goes up by sophomores Faith Shalaty and Gary Cripe. Mr. (or is it Mrs.?) Lukens gets carried away by the excitement of Spirit Week. Rex Miller appears to be enjoying his ride to the Homecoming game STARRY NIGHT On the magical Homecoming night the Raider football team defeated the Angola Hornets to make the night per- fect. Three candidates competed for the title, Homecoming Queen, Tami Hawkins, Lori Robinson, and Michelle Erickson. Michelle was later crowned queen. In the float competition the Juniors stole the show with their theme “Locomotion.” The Sopho- mores came in second with “Puttin’ on the Blitz.” ‘Flashdance, Oh What a Feeling,’’ was the theme of the Sen- iors float in third place. The Freshmen class float was “Raider Touch.” Homecoming Night was truly the high- light of the football season. Right: Sophomores couple Kelly McKibben and B.J.

The Ju niors played host to the Seniors, hold ing the Prom at the Marriott Hotel in South bend. The evening began with dinner. After that and a very short program presented by the Juniors, the dance began. Near the end of the dance the King and the Queen, Sam Hoover and Michelle Erickson, were crowned as well as the Prince and the Princess (Rich Troyer and Korie Bon- trager). In the end the evening be came one of the most unforgettable events of the season. Dressing up adds to the fun of rock and rolling the night away Robin Biro, Charles Wiederman, Korie Bon trager and her date step lively to the music Prom Prince Rich Troyer and Princess Korie Bontrager FOREIGN LANGUAGE Foreign languages are a whole new world to some students. With the help of Mr. Frazier (German) and Mr Woodworth (Spanish), students can become familiar with and learn to speak another language. Although there is plenty of hard work, in the form of translations, grammar drills, and dictations, these classes can be fun too.

Although there was a lot of work there was some learning done.

These instruments revolve around numbers and words instead of music. Under the terrific guidance of Mr. Modlin and Miss VanVranken (lovingly known as Miss V), students prepare for the real world. Now ladies — is this a gossip hour or class time? Rose Borntrager and Marci Troyer would rather gossip! Mr. Macho, John E.

Mr. Von Gunten wonders just what those figures are that cover Patty Berry’s and Jenny Packer's paper are Relaxing in the few seconds left before class, Michelle Erickson lounges while Tonya Cook takes the opportunity to prepare for class by sharpening her pencil. NUMERICALLY SPEAKING Believe it or not but mathematics is important! Without math a person lacks the training needed for almost all potential careers. Computer skills are becoming increasi ngly more im- portant tools in society. The North- ridge math teachers work hard to keep up with the ever-changing sub- ject and try to stay abreast of the many new ideas. Through them stu- dents have a great opportunity to ex- pand their horizons and knowledge also. Whatever is on that screen, it appears to have totally engrossed Mike Ingold Mr. Hartzler explains a point during Prob Stat while the class rapidly scribbles notes TEST TUBES AND BUNSEN BURNERS Science is a major part of the cur- riculum at Northridge with Chemistry and Physics highlighting the College Prep program. There were two new teachers added this year, Mr. Coe and Mr. VanLue. Both have been a great asset to the science department. Freshmen still don’t know the meaning of work.

These students are grinning too much to actually be watching a film and doing a lab MUSIC MANIA They played, marched, danced to entertain their audience, they’re the music maniacs. Concert Band, Pitt Band, Pep Band, and marching along with the auxiliary unit delighted listen- ers with their performances. In addi- tion to that, they competed in con- tests winning many medals. The vocal musicians also contributed to the en- joyment of the audience with their choir concerts. The three choirs, Con- cert, Freshman, and Sound of Friends, also participated in contest and cap- tured numerous medals.

Even if a drop occurs, the performance must go on without showing frustration as Kim Sevison is here. Below: The Sound of Friends put in a lot of time planning choreography and then practice it with the song but, it all pays off to see that the audience is enjoying them and they have a lot of fun performing. SUCCESS Auxilliary with only twelve members, has had one of their best years for performances. The squad has put in numerous hours of their own time and worked hard to “Dare to be the best. ’ The members of the Sound of Friends have als o shown their dedication and excel lence in their performances. They have been in concerts with the other N.H.S. Choirs, tours of Middlebury Community Schools, banquets, and many other places Top: The auxillary did their best to plan and perform an exciting show for contest.

Under the new cluster system the Raiders won 2 of 3 of their cluster games. The Most Valuable Player was Dan Falb. JV MVP was Brian Checkley and Freshman MVP was Bryan Hackett.

Teamwork is what it's all about. Each girl works with the help of the others and Coach Jeanine Roberts. With that in mind the team ended the season with an excellent record. The most valuable player for this year was Michelle Erickson.

The end of the season marked the end of Irv Pratt’s extensive basketball coaching career. During his time at Northridge, becom- ing the only coach Northridge has ever known, Pratt developed a reputation as one of the finest coaches in Elkhart County. Finishing just one game shy of 200 wi ns at Northridge, his presence will be sorely missed. Wiederman, Hackett and Slabach earned MVP hon ors for their season of play. Retired Coach Irv Pratt yells plays to his team Skillfully handling the ball, Troy Baughman maneuvers past his guards Rory Campbell goes up to get the rebound after the ball is shot STEPPING OUT IN STYLE The Cross Country team had a good season this year with a record of 8-11. Derek Hubartt, the only senior this year, was named Most Valuable Runner. He placed first or second in over half of the meets, and went on to place 16th at Regional. Freshman, Craig Pratt, proved also to be a valu- able member of the team, running as well as the experienced upperclass- men. With a team like this and only One senior, imagine what next year will be like. First Row: Eric Hershberger, Craig Pratt. Sec- ond Row: Mike Maloy, Derek Hubartt. Third Row: Gary Roberts, Mark Lambright, Coach Gary Modlin, Larry Roberts, Jan Noble. Concentration and determination to win can be seen on Derek Hubartt’s face as he strives to do his best. MAT MAGIC The wrestling team performed well this year. Many matmen qualified for regional. The entire team was led by Jeff Graber who won Most Valuable Player honors Jeff Graber prepares to pin his opponent dur ing a later round of the match Thinking his next moves out carefully, Larry Roberts tenses up, ready to wrestle free from his opponent John E. Miller's face shows the exertion as he pushes his opponent closer to a pin GIRL'S B-BALL The girls took the court by storm this ye ar, playing some very close and exciting overtime games. The team had excellent senior leadership. Mi- chelle Erickson was MVP and played a large part in many of the Lady Raider victories. “Our game plan: Hit ‘em in the gut, grab the ball and run!’ Mr. Weirich offers encourage ment to his players Is this basketball or dominoes?

The Raider batters broke the previous school re- cord for most games won in a single season. The 1984 squad finished the year with sixteen wins. Leading the team were the hot bat of Jason Stutz- man and the superb pitching perfor- mances by Mark Slabach and Chris Kuehn. Congratulations to the team for their record-breaking year! Those shades will really help Rich Groom spot those pop flys. Are you sure this play will work? John Cim- miyotti doesn’t look too positive. Ready in the outfield!

Both tennis teams did fairly well during the 1983-84 season. Under ex- cellent leadership the teams learned a great deal, had fun, and brought home their share of victories. Although tennis requires much concentration, nothing can stop Todd VanKirk from smiling at the camera. With terrific form, Rick Morehouse prepares to return the ball.

Although the rain drizzled all evening, it could not dampen the graduates’ spirits. Student Speaker Dan Falb traced the past fifteen years of the seniors’ schooling. He helped to bring out all the memories that were part of the seniors’ past. w- Following his speech, Guest Speak- er and Senior Class Sponser Tom Kat- tau presented a thought-provoking and, at times, humorous speech urg- ing the seniors to “be a little farsight- ed” and “a little nearsighted,” to ‘‘re- member where you came from,’ and finally, to “Keep in touch.” As the parents of the seniors looked on, the all-important diplomas were awarded and the seniors were declared “graduated.” This declara- tion became the start of a new era in all their lives. High school became a memory and is remembered by many as one of the most joyful and carefree periods of their life. The Yearbook Staff wishes the Class of 1984 the best of luck in the future. Preparing to speak, Student Speaker Dan Falb looks out over the crowd. Looking nervous, Tonya Cook receives her Medal of Honor and a handshake from Mr. Snider As the school administration looks on, Guest Speaker Tommy Kattau delivers his speech.
