Graduates of our band have been in groups which have played at the Rose Bowl Game in California, welcomed the Queen of England in Washington, and have played for the inauguration of the Governor of Ohio and the President of the United States. Such accomplishment is the result of many hours of hard work on the part of the band members and the excellent leadership of Mr. Puffenberger. We wish to express our appreciation to Mr. E. W. Puffenberger, who has been responsible for the growth and development of our music department through these many years. Such a combination of musical ability, leadership, and fine character is rare; and our school and community are most fortunate to have kept Mr. Puffenberger over a period of so many years. 38 CONCERT BAND The Northwest High School Concert Band, consisting of 80 members, is the largest in the history of our school. Highlights of its year include three concerts pre- sented in December, February, and May. These concerts attract not only our own community, but music people from far and wide. The band also sponsors a band cli’nic in January which is attended by the best bandsmen from Ohio and surrounding states. The band also participates in the Stark County Music Festival and occasionally presents a concert in another city. Last, but not least, we mention its contest record of sixteen first place ratings in the state.

This was not the only element involved in this honor. Energy, fight, and a very strong determination helped the Indians. The support of the entire student body through- out the season was what the Indians needed to reach their desired goal. The fight was hard, but, thanks to the superior coaching of Mr. Mosso and Mr. Halpin, we succeeded. 48 P' 'f AvK.S.

Much credit should belong to them for the many hours and hard work they did throughout the year. MISS KAY FISHER Advisor Miss Fisher has done much to help the cheerleaders in the two years that she has been at Northwest. A great amount of thanks is credited to her by us for the time and work she has displayed. JUANEVA STAHL Manager We wish to thank “Peanuts” for the ways in which she has aided us during the cheerleading season. Her helpfulness and generosity will always be remembered by all of us. 50 Co-Captain Co-Captain All-Ohio Tackle KEN DON NEIL MARION JERRY 51 52 VARSITY Northwest took second place in the Stark County Basketball “A” League. The Indians finished the regular season with a 14-4 record. The superb coaching of Mr. Healy inspired the boys to win many games, but perhaps more important was the training of good sportsmanship. “When the one great Scorer comes to call your name, it matters not who won or lost, but how you played the game.” RESERVES The reserve basketball team had a very successful year. The reserves lost only two of the eighteen games they played. Mr. Halpin deserves much credit for his outstanding work. 53 54 DAVE TOM SENIORS JIM KEN BOB RICHARD 55 56 BASEBALL The baseball team participates in the county tournaments. Baseball is not recognized at our school like the other sports, but it is an important part of school sports throughout the county. FRESHMEN The freshman basketball team has played many games this season. Their coach, Mr. Halpin, has spent much time with them. The freshman basketball team isan important part of the sports program because it helps prepare the boys for reserve and varsity competition. 57 58 Ub BARBERTON Al’s I. G. A.

BORN in America—so he has freedom of speech. He’s ex- pressing it already—and he can go right on criticizing, discuss- ing, debating for the rest of his life here. Nobody’s ever going to tell him to shut up! Imagine the difference, had he been born in a Communist coun- try. He’d never be able to criti- cize anything. He couldn’t sound off about taxes, government, job, prices, criticize public officials. Why not? Well, if he did he’d be shot. We hope he becomes a good, honest, sincere critic. We hope he’ll always stand right up and defend his rights. We hope he’ll never be afraid to turn the spot- light on wrongs — so someone will take steps to right them. Be- cause that’s the American way, and it’s an American right guar- anteed by the Constitution. It’s a freedom, and we’re all born to it. One thing we know: the rest of us aren’t going to let anyone come in and rob him of this right, until he grows up and can defend it for himself. We aren’t going to trade our freedoms— any of them—for Iron Curtain conditions. Will you stand up and defend your freedom of speech? If you do, nobody can ever take it away from you. TBADI.MAKK MO.
