The first few pages of this book are dedicated to showing the moments that make the students at Northridge Raiders. To be a Raider is not simply to attend North- ridge; anyone can do that. But the great moments that we have by great people make us what we are. It’s a combination of school spirit and pride, leadership, academic awareness, and opportunity. The example the upper- classmen set for the student body de- termined the image of a Raider this year, and it was one to be immensely proud of. The senior class motto “We do not remember days, we remember moments.”’ accurately portrays what the Northridge Raiders remember about the 1986-87 school year and what it meant to be a part of the pride and spirit of Northridge. The moments were great, and well worth remem- bering. Senior homecoming reps Ulonda Troyer, Amy Von- Gunten, and Sherri Yoder pose in the moments before halftime. 10 Homecoming A Spirited Week Homecoming Queen senior Amy VonGunten smiles after being crowned at the halftime ceremony Cindi Erickson reflects the spirits of the crowd as they watch yet another Raider downfall Homecoming and spirit week was as exciting as ever this year, although the weather didn’t cooperate. The float competition was rained out, but the sophomores were the winners with “All the right moves.” Powder-puff football was held in the gym, and the senior girls were the clear winners. Dress up days were held including Army, Beach, Pee-Wee Herman, and Farmer Days. A carbash was held on homecoming evening to bash the East Noble ‘car!’ The Raiders played a tough game with the East Noble team, but suffered a loss to damper the spir- its. But Raider pride showed in the queen contest and homecoming dance. Seniors Amy VonGunten, Sherri Yoder, and Ulonda Trover vied for the honor of homecoming queen, and her classmates voted Amy Von- Gunten queen. A bonfire was also held to pep up school spirit, as well as wall- decorating and window painting to put the school in a homecoming mood. Altogether, school spirit was present as never before and as the commercial says “‘the pride is back!”’ tT; wo? mM pereeaie 4 Varsity cheerleaders Jamie, Angie, Cindi, and Teresa show their legs at the bonfire Upper left: Junior Bryan Keck dresses for Army Day in full army fatigues, here’s one for spirit Upper right: seniors Sherri Yoder, Cindi Erick- son, Jann Reber, Trish Raymond, and Ulonda Troyer Middle right: Chemistry baron Mr. Noble grins as he anticipates homecoming night Showing their spirit and talking about the game are seniors Jim, Jim, Craig, Bryan, and John Spirit Week 11 An eight hour bus trip is no picnic, even on a chartered bus, and many took the opportunity to sleep or talk Amy VonGunten and Michelle Dolby pose outside a store window as they tour the town before the next performance Tina Kujawski, Beth Gustafson, Gretchen Vollman, Sherri Yoder, Ulonda Troyer, and Jann Reber rest before the trip 12 Stratford The Stratford Scene Stratford was, as always, a fun filled trip for all those who went. Accompa- nied by Mr. Lanctot, Miss Thomas, and Miss Neufield, the 60 or so stu- dents that went felt the trip a success. The plays seen were Hamlet and Cym- beline and were greatly appreciated by the students. The two-day trip gave the seniors a chance to see Canadian life, meet new people, shop, and expe- rience theater as well. The long bus trip was a challenge to endurance, and many “rapped” in the back or listened to headsets. Exchanging money for Canadian currency was another new venture, as was finding the nearest bank to switch it back. Checking out area high schools also there for the festival was also a high point of the days. Walking through Stratford pro- vided opportunities to shop, browse, and try out the cafes. The trip is the closest thing the seniors have to a class trip, and Stratford was appreciated for that reason as well as the fun. All in all, Stratford was quite an exciting experi- ence and a tradition Brit Lit is glad to continue. Seniors Dean Haney, Trena Paulus, and Suzanne Steiner have a chat while browsing through a Stratford shoppe. Matt Upton appears to be enjoying the Canadian cui- sine at a local cafe. There was plenty of time to eat on the trip. Wendell Bontrager and Phil Anders stroll down a color- ful side street while being pursued by a Canadian observor.

Senior Greg Gray had an outstanding season with a re- cord of 27-5 and the chance to ad- vance to the state competition.

Starting their training early, the squad was able to capture first place in the Elkhart County Fair cheerleading contest. With five seniors and two juniors on the varsity squad, the effort was complete and the re- sults outstanding during both basket- Upper right: Angie Miller, Teresa Lynch, Jamie McCormick, Heather Anderson, Janelle Yoder, Jenny Holdeman, and Cindi Erickson ball and football season. Lifters were also active in basketball cheering and added an extra boost towards school spirit.

Cheerleading 71 ACADEMICS Ft ie The Future Of High-Tech Mathematics and science courses of the future, are an important part of the course of study at Northridge. Stu dents can enroll in classes from com puter science to physics to general math and advanced trig. Math and sci ence seminars and competitions are also available to interested students to test their scientific skills. Mr. Noble, chemistry baron, revolutionized the department with his unique teaching methods and sense of humor, while Mr. VonGunten’s students again tried to grasp the concepts of ‘e’ and differ- ential equations.

English and Social studies are re- quired courses at some point of every students high school career. U.S. His- tory, government, economics, and En- glish courses are all designed to teach fundamentals of the English language and U.S. historical facts and principals. A new opportunity, a fine arts class, was offered for a semester this year; it was instructed by Mrs. Augustine. The Senior Lit class again travelled to Stratford, Ontario to attend the ‘ Shakespearian Festival and take in two professional plays. American Lit classes again went to South Bend to the I.U. library to research their re search papers. Economics classes, in structed by Mr. Kattau learned about ‘playing the game.’ Government class- es get the opportunity to attend board meetings to learn about various forms of government. Everyone can get in- volved somehow. =. And Freedman Lower left: Senior Brit.

These seniors should be commended for their outstanding contribu- tions to their school.

Headed up by Mrs. Snider and Mrs. Woodruff, the home ec classes are designed to teach stu- dents practical homemaking skills and other necessities for life. Students can learn everything from baking a cake to sewing a dress, to balancing a check- book and changing a diaper. Many skills can be learned here.

Industrial arts and the business course at Northridge are two depart- ments that teach students very differ- ent useful skills for future careers. I.A. students learn everything from draft- ing to electronics to auto repair, and business students learn typing, ac- counting, and office procedures. Stu- dents interested in vocational skills can also attend the career center, and ac- tive business students can earn busi- a —— ness endorsements. Awards are given to students who earn typing speeds of over 50 w.p.m. Two students, Jon- athon Yoder and Jeremy Bellaire, won state competition in electronics and graphic design, and both went on to national competition. These two de- partments are designed to prepare students for future careers in the voca- tional and business worlds.

German and Spanish are the only languages available at N.H.S., but there is plenty of opportunities in both. Mr. Frazier takes a group of stu- dents to Europe every year in order to experience Germany first hand, and a student must complete three semes- ters of German before being able to go. Spanish students and German stu- Und Partei dents have parties with authentic for- eign food and put on skits or plays in German or Spanish. Lessons in culture and history accompany lessons in grammar and conjugation. Exchange students add alot to foreign language class, as they are able to relate their opinions and views to students too. Taking a year or two of a foreign lan- guage is a good investment in the fu- ture, and a fun experience also.

They are responsi- ble for everything from attendance re- cords to scheduling classes. The counselors work with the office staff to ensure a regularly smooth scheduling process throughout the year. Mrs Weybright, who received the position of principal at Heritage, was replaced by Dr. Ruch this year. Mrs. Outman, Mrs. Lovell, and Mrs. Lemmon work together with Mrs. Rhodes in the of- fice, and Mrs. Woods, Mr. Snider, Mr. Rhodes, and Mr. Berkey run the coun- seling department. Every student at Northridge is lucky to have such an outstanding crew serving them.

But if you can only remember me with sorrow — Then don’t remember me at all. When it first happened nobody believed it. Mostly because nobody wanted to “Not Mark’’ — the golden boy of Northridge. That happened a lifetime ago and still we miss him as if it were only yesterday. But we have gone on, Because we know he would want us to And we will continue to go on, Sometimes thinking, ‘““Wouldn’t he have liked this.” And in our hearts he will live on forever.
