Northwest High School opened its doors to students for the first time in 1954. It was a small school then, and events happened in small ways. Since its inception, progress has been the keyword, and honor the guide in Northwest's journey to its present position of leadership in service to its community. Northwest has g r.own rapidly and is no longer a small school. Since it opened as a school, additions to the plant itself have been constantg twelve n ew classrooms have been put into use, and four others are now under construction. An entire wing came into being with the new auditorium and its accompany- ing dressing rooms, storage rooms, and a large area for the music department. The cafeteria has been expanded to more than double its original size. As our building has grown and our student body has advanced from fo ur hundre d to approximately a tho us a n d, s o have o ur achievements and our honors increased. All this growth is recorded h e re in the 1962 issue of your yearbook. Icicles coat the branches of a dogwood to make an unusual foreground for a view of the school.
