Northwest High School - Chieftain Yearbook (Canal Fulton, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 168 of the 1969 volume:

Capers 106 Clubs 118 Foreword The Chieftain, as is the case with student annuals generally, honors particularly the members of the graduating class. We have chosen to call the end of the school year with its round of activities, a time of commencement. At the time, however, for most of the participants, the fact that it marks the end of several very pleasant years of association with classmates and friends will loom larger in their minds. As the post-graduation year lengthens, a rosy glow of remembrance will settle over these school days while full attention rests on the ever present duty of getting on with the tasks at hand. All the while, we at North- west will continue to think of you and to wish you well in all your undertakings, and we shall trust that your Alma Mater and your associates of high school days will always hold a place in your affections. -Cindy Ikins THE ANNUAL STAFF xh %% JAM '4 m M Bag a% wg 't 222 w? 22 c� , fvt J T; William S. Stinson The only reward of virtue is virtue; The only way to have a friend is to be one.” Ralph Waldo Emerson Mr. William S. Stinson was born and raised in Wayne County, North Lawrence, Ohio. He went to Kent University and then taught four years in the Marshallville Elemen- tary School. In 1929 he received his B.S. in Education and that fall came to teach at Clinton High School. He taught only one year there and was promoted to principal in 1930. He became Executive Head of West Franklin High School, and in 1954, Elementary principal. It was not until 1958 that Mr. Stinson became principal of Northwest High School. It was during this period, as principal of Northwest High, from 1958 to 1968, that Mr. Stinson made so many friends. His policy to- ward the students encouraged this friendliness. He stood as an equal and was always open to suggestions. It was this policy, and his attitude of concern toward the individual student, that earned him the respect and friendship of his students. Because of this concern and friendship to- wards his students, we, the members of the 1969 Chieftain Staff, and the entire student body wish to dedicate this 1969 edition of the Chieftain to Mr. William S. Stinson, past- principal of our fine high school. Northwest. 9 Chiefs 10 Board of Education Many people, especially students, do not know who the members of our Board of Education are. These capable, hard-working men are the true heart of our school. They are the men who keep our school running smoothly. Although many problems arise throughout the year, they are capably and wisely handled by the Board. The members of the Board meet on the third Monday of every month - giving many hours of their time so that our community will have a more efficient school system. Our wish for these men is for continued success, and we extend our sincere appreciation to each and every member of the Northwest Board of Education. Members of the Board are: sitting left to right: Donald Swigart; John Juersivich, Clerk-Treasurer; Russell B. Bethel, Superintendent of Schools; and Stanley Shon- del. Standing left to right: John Morgan; Dr. Martin Smilek; and Dr. Duane Bricker. |ohn juersivich Clerk-Treasurer Mr. Juersivich has been the school’s Clerk- Treasurer for the last two years. He has the very important duty of looking after the financial books of the school - keeping them up to date and correct. Mr. Juersivich also takes care of such things as the payroll, buses, and custodial and cafeteria manage- ment. He must send repons about these various jobs to the State. We wish to congratulate Mr. Juersivich on the fine and imponant work he is doing for our school. May all his years here be suc- cessful. 13 Russell B. Bethel Superintendent The Annual Staff wishes to con- gratulate Mr. Bethel on the out- standing job he has done as Super- intendent of the Northwest School Dis- trict, these past two years. He has done much to better student-faculty relations by confering with the stu- dents on several different matters. Mr. Bethel’s door has always been open to student problems. We wish to thank Mr. Bethel for all the time, guidance, and inspiration that he has given us, and to wish him continued success in the future. lone Grover Secretary Many students do not realize the hard work that is involved with the day to day tasks you carry on. The Annual Staff wishes to congratulate you on the fine job you have done. We wish you continued success. 14 Edward ). Howley Principal This year at Northwest we have a new principal, Mr. Howley. He has shown his interest in the school and his willingness to help the stu- dents in securing a good education. Mr. Howley took the position of high school principal this year. Be- fore coming to the high school, he served as the Intermediate school principal for three years. He has done a fine job for our school and we wish him continued success. Rose Rhoades Secretary We wish to thank you, Mrs. Rhoades, for your help and co-opera- tion during the past two years at Northwest. You have indeed helped to make our years here a huge success. Best of luck in your future years at Northwest. 15 Alpha W. Mayfield Asst. Principal Although Mr. Mayfield is a very busy man, he finds time to co-ordi- nate all tests that are important to our future. He always has his door open to those who have a problem. He helps direct us toward our future vocations. Mr. Mayfield has been working in our school system for seven years. He taught at Clinton grade school be- fore coming to the high school four years ago. He served as physical education teacher and coached the wrestling team. He advanced to the position of Assistant Principal last year and has done a fine job. We greatly appreciate all the help he has given us through his guidance and personal in- terest in the student. 16 Mrs. Martin is graduated from West Virginia University, and teaches junior and senior Secretarial BOE.

Harold Groves Student Council — Link Between Administration and Student Body A good relationship between the students and administration is essential to a well func- tioning school. The Student Council is the students' voice in the school’s matters. Northwest’s Council is made up of four members from each of the lower three grades, and five members of the senior class. They meet every Monday on alternating class periods. Mr. Mayfield is their advisor. Officers are selected by the members. The vice president is always a junior, and is automatically president his senior year. This year’s officers are: Betsy Reighart, president; Pat Badida, vice president; Bev Shondel, sec- retary; and Max Healey, treasurer. This year, the Student Council has some conscientous and hard working members. They nave sponsored the Cbnistmas party, held a coat-check at all home basketball games, and bought National Honor Society pins. Betsy Reighart has been a council member for three years, and has done a fine job as president her senior year. She has worked hard, and is very much involved with most school functions. She is indeed, highly re- spected by all who know her. She portrays the three key words of Student Council - Leadership, Citizenship, and Sportsmanship.

Northwest High School received a foreign exchange student. This student was Fernando Enrique Mendoza Marquez, a seventeen year old boy from Mexico. Fernando was brought here through the sponsorship of the Canal Fulton Rotary. During his stay here he lived in the homes of several of the Rotary members. Fernando’s favorite sport is soccer which he has taught to many of his friends here in the United States. He likes all of the school sports and was an avid fol- lower of our teams this year. Fernando has attended many of the school social functions this year and has been kept quite busy by them and his speaking en- gagements. Fernando's friendly smile and readiness to talk has made him a popular figure around school with many friends. It’s been a very pleasing and educational experi- ence for the students this year to have an exchange student. We hope that next year Northwest will wel- come another student from a foreign country. Miss Northwest Betsy Reighart Betsy is. This year Betsy was nomi- nated and chosen by members of the senior class as Miss North- west. According to the title. Miss Northwest represents an out- standing senior girl with ability and leadership. From all aspects Betsy fits this category. Betsy has been a distinguish- ed band member for four years, serving as treasurer her senior year. This year has been one of her hardest so far. Not in the way of studying, but Betsy has been working very hard as our Student Council President. There have been many behind the scene conferences with her and our ad- ministrators in order to bring the students and administration closer together. Along with her duties, Betsy has proven herself a capable girl. Her junior year she was se- lected as a member of the Na- tional Honor Society and this year she was chosen as an Out- standing Teenager of America. Mr. Northwest Albert Knapp Buzzy Each year the graduating senior class chooses one senior boy to bear the title of Mr. Northwest. This boy must per- sonify the qualities of leader- ship, scholarship, and person- ality. This year the boy who fitted these requirements the best, in the eyes of his class members, was Buzzy Knapp. Buzzy has been very active in both the social and scholas- tic aspects of school life. During his four years of high school, Buzzy has held the office of vice-president for his class. It has been through this office that Buzzy has come to know the administration and many of his friends. In 1969, Buzzy’s senior year, he was tapped for the National Honor Society, the highest honor a high school student can re- ceive. Buzzy's friendly, outgoing personality has earned him re- spect, admiration, and many friends. For this, and his other traits, the title of Mr. North- west is well deserved by Buzzy. 71 MOST SCHOLASTIC: Susan Dannemiller, Richard Groetzinger Senior Mosts MOST GULLABLE: Bruce Walsh, Bienda Godbey PRETTIEST HAIR: Penny Christensen 73 ’ MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED: Brenda Klein, Tim Fahrney 75 SHYEST: Reba Walker Ed Bucher MOST TALKATIVE: Duane Boser FRIENDLIEST: Buzzy Knapp 77 78 Clashes 78 79 FRONT ROW: Lester Green, Brian Mayberry, Ken Sibila, Tom Juersivich, Jerry Reynolds, Dan Nettle, Mike Fahr- ney.

Although their record was only 1-8, they made each game exciting and full of thrills. Eight sophomores were given valuable experience by playing starting posi- tions on offense and defense. This should pro- vide next year’s team with a strong backbone. TRI-CAPTAINS Lester Green, Ken Sibila, Tom Juersivich N.H.S. Coaching Staff ASST. COACH: Del Halpin HEAD COACH: Herb Blachley The 1968 edition of the Northwest Indians coaching staff sported three new coaches. Herb Blachley came to us from Brunswick this year to be our head coach. Jim Rubin and Tony Pellegrene were on their first assignment after graduation from college. Del Halpin returned from the previous years to act as assistant coach. These four coaches worked hard to establish the foundation for future North- west football power-houses. They will have eight letter- men back for next year’s campaign.

Mark Fowler, David Rhoades, Dean Crawford, Jim Echols, The 1968-69 edition of the freshman basketball team finished their season with nine wins and seven losses. This proved to be a fine season for this group of boys who won two and lost twelve as eighth graders. The big difference being the attitude of the boys and their desire to win. They showed fine inprovement over last year. Tournament play was at Taft Junior High School for the 5th annual Stark County 9th grade tournament. The Frosh cagers drew Sandy Valley in their tournament opener and went on to beat them 52-50. They were led by Mark Fowler with 21 points (individual high for the season) and 13 rebounds. Next, the cagers faced a tough Canton South frosh team who were first seeded in tournament with their impressive 11-2 record. The Northwest cagers. looking for an upset, surprised the Wildcats by jumping to a 6-2 lead early in the first quarter, only to see this diminish due to South's height advantage over the much smaller Indians, as they were soundly defeated 52-27. South went on to win the tournament and finish 14-2. The fans from Northwest had nothing to be ashamed of be- cause the Indians fought hard, hustled, and never gave up in the game. The leading scorer and rebounder for the Frosh cagers, who scored 149 points and collected 203 caroms, was Dean Crawford at 6’1”. This boy could be a threat to the varsity members next year and could be pushing for a starting posi- tion. Mark Fowler, another bright prospect for the varsity team, scored 131 points, and collected 107 rebounds. Mark Fahmey led the team in assists and steals with 32 and 31 respectively. Chris Healey added 71 points and 27 each of steals and assists. Jim Echols added 98 points and 89 rebounds. Bob Wallace and Mike Smith proved to be numbers six and seven and could be called on during the game without a moment's hesitation. They combined for 77 points and 107 rebounds. Others who contributed to this fine team were Ted Geiger, Dave Rhoades, Roger Walsh, and Marty Fye. Coach Tony Pellegrene feels that he had a fine group of young men to work with. He said that the team played well together and worked hard at winning their games. He sees in this group fine competitive spirit and desire, which could spell winning basketball in the future years at Northwest. 99 FRONT: R. Klein. J. Gay, V. Durinsky, M. Fahmey, B. Jolly, M.

Putting Wins Senate Title for Linksters Northwest Golfers Come Through On Thursday, May 22, the Northwest golf team defeated Lake High in a two hole playoff for the Senate League title. This playoff was caused by a mid-season tie with Lake at Spring Hills golf course. Lake High's number two man couldn’t make it. so it was decided to play the one, three, and four men from both teams in the playoff. The first hole of the playoff ended in a deadlock. Mike Everhart shot a six and Max Healey and Jerry Reynolds both shot fives. Jerry was the last man to put on the first green. We were down by one stroke. Jerry came through with a ten foot putt to put the match even. The second hole started off withjerry Reynolds in trouble after his drive. Max and Mike both hit good drives. Max sparkled on the second hole. After a fine drive he dropped his second shot on the green and went on to make a birdie putt. In the meantime, Mike took three strokes to make the green, while Jerry took four. With the match even. Max took command of the green. He sank a breaking thirty-five foot putt. This putt put us ahead by two strokes. Mike Everhart, the last to putt on the green, made a three foot putt to win the match by a stroke. This match made Northwest 7-1 in the league, followed by Tuslaw with a 6-2 record. This season was the finest for the golf team. Jerry Reynolds holds the school record with a four under par 31. Max Healey recorded the first hole-in-one. It was a very fine season for the golfers. Mr. Luther deserves much credit. He helped the golfers in many ways, mechanically, morally and with extra privileges for the team. Jerry Reynolds. School record for least amount of strokes, 31, on par 35 course. Max Healey.

I Forgot The Words. 3 V This is the moment for us all to remember. Homecoming Queen and Court. The natural enthusiasm of a Homecoming weekend was enhanced this year by the high spirits and pride motivated by the student body and football team. The pre-game festivities began with the band coming on the field and forming the traditional band formation for the queen and her court to be escorted by the football team. The cool fall evening was an excellent night for Miss Mary Jane Marzilli to be crowned by football Tri-captain Tom Juersivich. The court was then escorted off the field by the tune of “Ain’t She Sweet. The game was an exciting one until the end, when we looked at the scoreboard and saw the 35-27 shining across the field in favor of East Canton. The following night Miss Marzilli reigned over the dance held in her honor. The Homecoming of 1968 may have meant various things to various people; but one thing is certain, the first third of our 1968-69 season had come to an end. SOPHOMORE ATT. Mary Koons SENIOR ATT.

Under the supervision of Mr. Martin, the junior class presented Camelot.’' Visitors to King Arthur’s enchanted forest entered through the main hallway where shields of all the famous knights were on display. It seemed that all the knights were in from their quests just to be at the prom. On entering the gym, people were amazed by the beau- tiful castle built in the enchanted forest. There was the glamour of the Medieval Ages with the brightly colored flags and beautiful castle. The merriment of the age could also be found. All guests of Camelot danced to and enjoyed the entertainment provided by the Carrolton High School Band and the Dam- nation of Adam Blessing.” The occassion ended quietly with many tired couples leaving the beautiful realms of Camelot. Nancy Cottle and John Cullen seem to be enjoying themselves. Good bands are hard to come by, but the Carrolton High School Band was one of the best toevercometoN.H.S.

Three outstanding seniors shared the valedictorian post. They were Susan Dannemiller. Brenda Klein, and Rick Groetzinger. Brenda spoke on her topic of Enthusiasm for life. Sue entitled her talk “Foreward. Rick gave his talk on listen. Just listen, Then Think.” The three talks were both interesting and well-given. Susan and Brenda have been very active members of their class during their four years at N.H.S. Rick moved to Ohio and Northwest during the summer of 1968. The trio truly deserved their titles of valedictorians. The joy of graduation is just too much for some of the graduating girls! 115 Baccalaureate and Commencement Exercises Combined The Rev. William R. Dillon, pastor of the Clinton Church of the Nazarene, delivered the invocation and benediction, and gave the baccalaureate sermon en- titled, “What Is Your Life?” Before commencement exercises began, the high school band presented a half-hour concert. During the program, the chorus sang “Climb Every Mountain. which was indeed an appropriate song for the occasion. It brought tears to the eyes of many people present at the services. No words can ever express the feelings and many thoughts of the crowd. It was a day that will never be forgotten by the class of 1969. Rev. William Dillon giving his baccalaurate sermon.

Puffenberger and the assistant director Mr. J. W. Wonnacott. The band has gone to district contest for 29 years and has come home with a I rating each time, making the band eligible for state competition. The band has done equally well at state contest. For 29 consecutive years the band has achieved a I rating. We think they have set quite a record. During the year the band gave three concerts - one in December, February, and May. These concerts were well attended by those of the community as well as those in surrounding areas. This year, in the absence of Mr. Puffenberger, Mr. Wonnacott took over the marching band. This was no small task, but Mr, Wonnacott did a fine job. He put in many hours of his time and exerted a great amount of energy so that we could have a band that would live up to Northwest tradition. We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude and sincere appreciation for all that Mr. Puffenberger and Mr. Wonnacott have done for our band. Now where did I put that kazoo? Sue Dannemiller Bill Jarrell Betsy Reighart Bonnie Dilworth Brenda Klein Vicki Rhoades 122 Senior Members Through our years in band, we have gained much more than an ability to play music. Music has taught us responsibility and discipline. In music we must think for ourselves, using the knowledge we have acquired over the years. We have learned to play music, not only for the sake of playing, but to turn that music into a work of art. We, the senior members of the band, are grateful for these rewarding experiences, as well as for the many wonderful memories we share of the Northwest High School Band.

NHS Chorus Does Its Thing The Northwest High School Chorus, composed of 30 girls, presented concerts for the school assemblies, and also for the Clinton Kiwanis club. Their main concert was the Music and Arts Festival in April. Bill Jarrell performed with the choir as a solist. Linda Beaber and Terry Zimmerman were the accompanists. Some of the members of the chorus also participated in the state solo and ensemble contest in the vocal categories. This organization is very worthwhile for students inter- ested in singing and developing an appreciation of music.

Chieftain Staff Better Than Ever Editor-in-Chief Deb Cic teaches the staff fundamentals of a yearbook. The staff of an annual always has a busy time when it comes to the assembling of the year’s annual. This year has been no ex- ception. The 1969 Chieftain staff has been working hard since last summer to produce an outstanding yearbook for Northwest High. There are a million jobs to do for everyone involved. Section editors are kept occupied making copy, planning and taking pic- tures, and finally setting up the various pages and sections of the Annual. The members of the staff sift through large quantities of pictures and copy to find only the best material. It is this dedi- cation and willingness to worfc which make a yearbook great. The financial side of making a yearbook is very businesslike and also important to the annual's success. Advertisements are sold to area merchants and sponsors and orders for the Chieftain are taken in the homerooms. There are deadlines to meet and assign- ments to be completed as the work of the editor and staff moves on toward the final product of a yearbook any school would be proud of.

Club Officers planning the next project with advisor Mrs. McLaughlin. The F.T.A. is a club for those who have definite plans to enter the field of education. During the 1968-’69 school year, the Future Teachers have com- pleted many projects, bothonthe individual and the club level. Many of the members spend time at the grade schools helping teachers. Others are called upon to teach - either for one class period or an entire day. Still others, who have high marks, are asked to tutor classmates having difficulties. Under the supervi- sion of Mrs. McLaughlin, the club donated articles to Massillon State Hospital at Christmas, and made teaching aids for the E.R.M. Class at Clinton Elementary. This year, thanks to everyone, has proven to be very successful.

We know how she felt. Over the years, dozens of companies have challenged the leadership of Hoover cleaners . . . unsuccessfully. We've maintained our leadership through a constant program of product development and improvement for our cleaners, and for our many other products. So, in effect, we keep running faster and faster to stay where we’ve always been ... in first place.
