'N 3 4 '53 fit We rv Unique Faces Many people compose school Many types of people made up the stu- dent body at Northwest. A touch of foreign flavor from countries around the world such as Sweden, ltaly, New Zealand, West Ger- many, France, and Viet Nam as well as America was present in the daily life of Nor- thwest students and faculty members. Yet the people at Northwest were uni- que. Each person was an individual that made the school a whole. The pride that students exhibited on their faces at winning basketball games or when the results of col- lege entrance exams came back showed the community and other class mates the per- sonal reward felt when things were ac- complished. Some students were extremely involved in extra-curricular activities as well and their school work and outside job while others preferred to go to school for only a half of a day. The unity ofthe three grade levels pro- vided students a chance to get to know one another, to share joys with, and comfort each other in times of defeat. The special friendships that were built throughout the year were treasured and made for an easy living environment at school. No matter what the status of an in- dividual was, he found a place in the school that was especially for them. A Grizzly was accepted for who he was, not what he did. Northwest's reputation grew among the students as well as the community. -Anita Zelmer TLA Faces ' 9
