The '86-'86 school year at Northridge had a lot of school spirit to show. Deco- rating cars to follow the bus on away football games be- came some what of a tradi- tion. Pep sessions came back to life at NHS also. After meeting at Middlebury Elementary, Raider fans fol- lowed the fire trucks and football players to North- et ere 5 ridge for a pep rally and bon fire to raise the Raider Spir- it. Several basketball pep sessions led by the cheer- leaders and Jazz Nuggets were held after school. The ritual of popping balloons became a NHS trademark at these pep rallies and at home games. Students at Northridge have surely proven that Raider Spirit is supreme! The Spirit Of '86 We started the year With the hope of making An impression worth remembering, An example worth taking. The year passes quickly, There is so much to be done. The goal out of sight, The prize for which we run. We have filled the bleachers, We have joined the team, The halls we have decorated, As we worked toward our dream. The dream that we follow With the helping hands of friends, Searching for tomorrow With faith that never ends. The spirit will still live. The spirit will still grow. The spirit of '86, The Spirit we all show. by Ann Francis STUDENT LIFE EG Senior’s Supreme Spirit Of ‘86 Senior Remembers Remember when we liked school. Remember when we did our homework.

Remember the basketball game when we came back to beat Concord. Remember decorating the halls at homecom- ing and sectionals. Remember the Raider Spirit of '86! A Week Full Of Fun And Spirits were high during Spirit Week at Northridge. Throughout the week stu- dents dressed for each theme day: Hawaiian day, mask day, hat and tie day, rock-n-roll day and finally green and gold day. This special week also featured various events of class com- petition. The powder-puff football game, which is per- haps the most exciting, fea- tured the girls acting as the football players and the guys posing as the cheer- The junior powder puff champs coolly walk off the field with.smi coaches. leaders. That reversal of roles brought plenty of en- tertainment. The senior guys were the all around winners of the tug-a-war, while the junior girls were the champs in their division. The craziness of Spirit Week festivities brought a great change of pace and a week of many memories. Senior girls pull with all their strength against the stronger juniors.

The junior class again sponsored the evening, committee mem- bers were Lori Wiederstein, Craig Kaufmann, Sherri Yoder, Kraig Bontrager, and Beth Gustafson. This special night was highlighted with the crowning of Randy Grewe and Tammy Boyer as prom king and queen, and Kraig Bontrager and Ulonda Evan and Joey dance the night away.

Perhaps the ‘‘fon- dest’’ memory of the prom was that it was held roman- tically around the pool — which remained open to guests of the Inn who took advantage of the night to swim !

For four years you have tread a path from dawn to setting sun. But now the path gets steeper and the climb is just begun. We're very glad to know you, we'll miss you when you're gone.

It is the time for the 1986 graduating seniors to say, ‘‘Good-bye high school. Hello world.’’ For some, graduation brings a tear. While for others, it brings a scream of rejoice! Student speakers were Rob Wiederstein, President of Student Council; and Gary Cripe, President of the Class of ‘86. Rob brought back the many memories of the past, while Gary spoke of the future. Graduation will forever be a time to look back at all its memories as the turning point for many lives. hae ae Left: Senior choir members sing parting words to the audience, while ... ... the band plays an instrumen- tal number.

Frank, Julia and Yu- kiko all stayed with us the whole school year, while Massimo and Maria stayed with us for a semester. Mas- simo was from Italy, and Maria was from Ecuador. Foreign exchange students are given the opportunity to experience our American culture by staying with a host family and attending our school. We also enjoy the chance to experience their culture too.

ORGANIZATIONS Ey G The marching and con- cert band brought added success to the Northridge band program. The band performed in the Rice Field Invitational, Chesterton Tournament of Bands and the Concord Invitational where they placed third in class C. They receied a lst division rating at District Marching Band Contest which enabled the band to compete at Regional Con- test where they received a 2nd division rating. In addi- tion to the many contests that the band competed in, they performed at every home football game to sup- port the Raiders on to victory. Above: Rich Stiver blasts on the trumpet.

They performed in the Winter Pops Concert, the John Glenn Band Festi- val and the Spring Band Fes- tival all of which include their three concert pieces. Contest was held at Con- cord High School where they received a 2 division rating in group 1 which is the most difficult group of concert music. To end the year the band played at commencement and marched in the Memorial Day Parade. Northridge’s swing choir, the Sound of Friends, put in long hours of practice in and out of class in order to per- fect every performance. They perform various times throughout the year includ- ing the Spring Thing and hosting the annual Swing Fest. Northridge invites lo- cal show choirs to perform together for the public each fall.

Functioning under a new constitution and sponsor this year, the student coun- cil in general was greatly im- proved. With thirty mem- bers, not only representing their class but also band, choir, SADD, yearbook, Na- tional Honor Society, pep club, and N-club, the council was able to improve the par- ticipation. President Rob Wiederstein, vice Tammy Boyer, and secretary Lori Wiederstein, along with treasurer Wes Miller worked together with the council to put into effect such things as a new study hall policy, new concession stand rules, sponsoring dances, and ho- liding other events for the benefit of the student body.

The Swiss Club This year a group of forty- five students went to Swiss Valley seven times to enjoy the slopes. Most of the stu- dents rented skis, but some brought their own. Begin- ners out on the slopes were enthusiastic about learning and they quickly advanced to the more difficult slopes. Everyone would agree that one of the highlights of the year was when Mr. Shroyer made a crater half- way down the Triple. Or maybe another was when Julie Koslowski rammed into a shed. The tip of the iceberg was when Brian Hershberger dropped one of his skis on the lift which hit a ski patrolman. NHS NHS Quality Students Wik ny pay D i: - a) | ey Bookstore salesmen B.J. Ludwig, Jeff Hol- deman, and Wes Miller. Holding up a standard of scholastic excellence, the National Honor Society rep- resents the quality of North- ridge students. Members must maintain a 3.5 grade point average and remain in good standing with their teachers. Events held by the society included a teacher breakfast, a subma- rine sandwich making, spon- soring dances, and induct- ing new members. The president of the society this year was B.J. Ludwig. B.J. and secretary Holly Bowlby put in much effort to orga- nize the events this year. Teachers enjoy the feast put on by the Honor Society. Missy Bowlby lights the candle of character at induction. The “‘Legend”’ Of NHS Northridge has it’s own little newspaper, The Leg- end. The paper is headed by Mrs. Augustine and the staff includes Doug Johnson, Laura Yoder, Mike Hill on photography, Brian Hanson, Jenny Heath and Eric Yost. The Legend contains news about students at North- ridge, the school itself and activities to come. The stu- dent body at Northridge is able to keep up with the news and activities at their school with The Legend news. What else does Laura Yoder have for sale other than the newspaper?

It Took Years To Complete The editor's goal: A finished 7 The yearbook staff of The Shield put in a full year of dedicated work to produce the volume you are reading. Editor Ellen Upton was a newcomer to the staff, but quickly learned what was in- volved, serving also as chief photographer for The Shield. Other active mem- bers of the staff included Trena Paulus, Vinh Pham, and Becky Bryant. As shown, what the staff needs most is more volunteers to help in the production of the yearbook. Working on The Shield required a lot of hard work by all the staff as well as sponsor Mr. Lindsay — and it was much ap- preciated. Ritudents EN gainst Dy riving Dy runk Students gather around a SADD display to sign contracts that promise not to drink and drive during prom. Students Against Drunk Driving is an organization formed to inform students and the community about the dangers of drunk driv- ing. Northridge’s SADD chapter is sponsored by Mrs. Weybright. President Doug Johnson along with of- ficers Tammy Boyer, Ginger Rodgers and Joann Miller worked together to orga- nize the events of SADD. Various committees worked on display cases, bringing speakers and promoting SADD. Interest in SADD is growing nationwide and has increased public awareness of this danger on our na- tions highways. ACADEMICS Statistically Speaking The math department be- gan the new school year with quite a few new teach- ers. Mr. Powell, Mr. Surma, and Mr. Hoffer were all new along with Mr. VonGunten, Mrs. Woodworth and Mr. Hartizler. The math pro- gram includes basic math classes, Algebra, Geometry, Computer Math, Prob Stat, and Advanced Math. There are various opportu- nities during the year for in- terested students to com- pete in math contests, such as the St. Mary’s and Gary math tournaments.

Of course, not all the above mentioned were the best- loved topics of school, but they do serve to make us seem a bit less illiterate! Be- cause of the large freshman class, new teachers were brought in this year. Teach- ers included: Miss_ Irwin, Mrs. Weeks, Mr. Lanctot, Miss Thomas, Mrs. Augus- tine, and Mr. Beechy.

This year has been no exception to that besides the fact that we have four new teachers. Mr. Willig at the head of the department along with Mr. - MA. ‘ wv vad Adams, Mr. Schultz, Mr. Surma, and Miss Yacuk. The courses ranged from Biol- ogy | Il to Physical Sci- ence, Chemistry, Physics, and Earth Space Science.

Social Issues At NHS Another sleepy day in Katta Psychology glass. gu’ = Heidi Goebel works at the atlas for U.S. Government. Every student is required to take 3 courses in social science: U.S. History, Gov- ernment, and Economics. In addition to the government and economic classes, sev- eral other social studies classes are offered such as Sociology, Family Relations, and our most recent addi- tion to the curriculum, Psy- chology. Although social studies classes may be- come monotonous at times, teachers have ways to pick up the pace in class. Every- one participates in the ‘“‘Game’’ in Economics, while history students simu- late the stock market and play ‘‘war games.”’ Mr. Weaver makes another digression to tell the many tales of ‘‘Little Tommy.” ol You Gotta Have Art Art demands a wide range of skills and creativity. Many students have the problem of choosing the art class that fits their interests. So, art students are encour- aged to take Art 1 which teaches the fundamentals of art. After students have some idea of their main in- terests, they may take a va- riety of classes ranging from drawing and painting to de- sign in weaving and fabric or even metals. ur creative and te rt teacher is Mrs. ish. Business As Usual Julie Yoder pauses mid-typ- ing to grin for the camera. Top left: A typing class uses a few moments to reorganize. ‘Use your paper release’ seems to be Rob and Tim's motto. No new faces were seen in the business classes at Northridge. This year short- hand was not offered due to a lack of interest, but good old typing, accounting, word processing, business law, and office procedures were still popular classes. Through the guidance of Miss VanVranklin, Mr. Clark and Mr. Modlin, the groans of learning to type were once again heard and dimin- ished. Future office workers took advantage of these key classes.

Physical Education must be taken one year out of the four years at Northridge. Many students who enjoy P.E. go on to advanced physical education. P.E. gives students a chance to become aquainted with a whole range of sports. It is both educational and a lot of fun. This year physical education teachers are Mrs. Kaminskis, Mr. Pletcher and Mr. Modlin. Filmstrips are a part of Mrs. Ka- minskis’ health class. Building Our Futu re Patience, accuracy, and a lot of imagination are need- ed to be a part of the ‘‘art”’ of industry. Teachers, Mr. Kauffman and Mr. DeWilde, have made our industrial arts department very suc- cessful. There are a variety of classes offered and all give a basic understanding of the subject. Although the safety glasses aren't real popular, the classes are much enjoyed. Mr. Kauffman gives special sand- ing instructions to the class. Tim Kreighbaum glues his wood project together. Cassidy Cheryll adds the i Gene, Wes eS have found new inspiration in doing laundry gredients, while Angi ) Bowker stirs. Cooking Up A Storm Why do students take Home Economics? Stu- dents learn to sew, cook, can and freeze food, do needlepoint, and decorate. However, Home Ec teaches a lot more about organizing, managing a budget, plan- ning nutritious meals, spending money wisely and taking care of children. Re- cently, IPR, Child Develop- ment, Family Relations and Home Planning have be- come increasingly popular with both guys and girls.

Outside of their usu- al class time during school, the choirs put on several shows for the public. At Northridge, the choir partic- ipated in the annual Christ- mas Concert, the Winter Arts Festival, and finally the Spring Concert. Outside of Northridge the choir held a concert at the Brenneman Missionary Church. Part of choir includes solo and en- semble contests. Many of the students who participat- ed did very well. At the close of the year the choir stu- dents all chipped in to buy Mr. Rasler a VCR and the traditional ‘‘pig present , all to say, ‘“‘Thanks for being our Choir Director. ’ Shelly wp that tune, egsecker!

SPORTS Ey G 52 Raider Kickoff The Raider football team worked hard this year to pull in three victories against Constatine, Angola and Leo, ending the season with 3-5. This was an im- provement on last years re- cord. Under the combined coaching of Coach Weaver, Coach Adams, Coach Fra- zier, Coach Schultz and Coach Nofziger, the team was able to with stand the pressure and have less injur- ies than last year. Mike Lambright was named MVP. Rob Wiederstein, Mike Borntrager, and Steve Cole- man were named to the All- State team. Lambright car- ried the ball for a total of 596 rushing yards, while quarterback Brian Checkley passed for 630 yards. Named to the Academic All State Team were Bill Taylor, Brian Checkley, Randy Grewe, Gene Wood and Roger Miller. Roger Miller also won the mental atti- tude award.

Pumping Iron A new past time that oc- cuppied many body con- scious guys and girls was the use of the relatively new weight room. Any of the week nights a gathering of mostly junior and_ senior guys could be found pump- ing iron to the sound of loud rock music. Team training still occured regularly, but some were just there to keep in condition. Mr. Ad- ams was there to supervise and help out, too. Activities in the weightroom were just one way Northridge stu- dents demonstrated their health consciousness. Danny Berger puts on a pretty face while building his chest mus- cles.

The Northridge golf team ended with a fabulous sea- son. They had a 15-2 win- ning record and a sectional championship. Craig Kauf- mann was a top medalist and broke a school record by hitting a 36 on the home course, Oak Hills. After the sectional, Northridge went on to place in the regionals and go on to state. MVP honors went to Craig Kauf- mann. The team is losing only one senior, Jef Rieg- secker, so look out for an- other winning season next year. Tennis For 2 Or ... The girls tennis team closed their season with a winning record of 6-5. The team was coached by Dave Smucker from Goshen Col- lege, whose driving on away games the tennis team shall never forget. Outside of their regular season the team attended the Memori- al Invitational and the Ango- la Invitational. At the Angola Invitational Beth Gustafson placed first in her division of 3 singles. MVP honors went to senior Robin Biro, who played 1 singles. The Most Points Award was re- ceived by Beth Gustafson, while Caryn Hollinger re- ceived the Mental Attitude Award.

With all the support from the student cheer block, cheerleaders, lifters, and booster club, the Raider basketball team was able to win all their home games but one. Highlights of the basketball season included a win over Goshen followed by an exciting comeback and victory over Concord. Leading the Raiders to a winning season was senior Troy Baughman who was voted MVP and led in scor- ing with a total of 347 points. Steve Braddock and Bryan Hackett were also big contributors for points. Both averaged over 10 points a game with Hackett shooting 62 percent from the field. Receiving awards for team effort were Bryan Hackett for mental attitude and most rebounds, and Eric Hershberger for the best free throw percentage of 76 percent.

It’s a dirty job, but someone must do it.
