3- Laughter, wink, grin, gesture provides carefree moments Laughter, a lop-sided grin, and a wink of an eye are all characteristics of lighter moments produced by Northwest students. Whether it be in a class, during passing period, or at lunch, signs of carefree moments were often expressed throughout the year. Students found time to share humorous thoughts and opinions with friends at any hour of the day. Some people enjoyed spending time with a special friend or listening to last minute jokes before school began. Many students appreciated ed lighter moments. Whether it be building a float for Homecoming or decorating a hall for class competition, fellow class members enjoyed the time spent together competing against other classes and having a good time. The fine art of putting up streamers and crepe paper seemed to conjure up smiles and good times from all participants.

fr X 'un , 4 x School provides opportunity for individualistic expressions Frowns before school, smiles after school, anger at basketball games, excite- ment at swim meets, frustrations at junior research papers, rewards at report cards, these are all expressions and emotions that make the school day bearable. Expressions provide the vent for frustration and sometimes show, without speaking, what a person is feeling. The kind of expression at Northwest was different from many of the other Wichita high schools in that students at Northwest came from many different backgrounds and interest. Expression not only included people's faces but also appeared evidently in the form of the arts, athletics and language arts, only to name a few. Music students 121 had the opportunity to express themselves through different music of different com- posers. They studied a wide variety of styles and could express themselves vocallv or instrumenrally. Drama students used the words of playwrights to somehow get said, what they somehow couldn't. The Creative Writing students used their own words to express themselves by describing, and telling what life is really about. And atheletes in sports whether it was on the football field, the basketball court, the swimming pool, the tennis court or any of the other excellent facilities included in our school, had the opportunity to excel and express themselves while doing it. ii' I 1 ABOVE: Puzzled over the referee's call, Grizzly football players Todd Koob, Larry Williams and Criag Farney display one of many expressions seen on the faces of football players throughout the season. RIGHT: Demonstrating dance steps for an upcom- ing drama production creates a serious expression on the face of Clayton Crenshaw, drama instructor.
