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.

So sing the students with ferv ent voic es ringing. Each feels a thrill of devotion, excitement, and pride as he sings. The song is an expression of the philosophy of our school as it is live d by students, teachers, the entire personnel. Its lyrics are applicable to each phase of student life at Northwest. With this thought in mind, your editors have built this book-YOUR book-around your song. Excerpts from the school song are used to introduce the sections and to establish the mood which prevails in this record. The Song of the Falcon is synonomous with Northwest school life, and when the school itself is no longer a tangible presence with you, and when memories of past events have grown dim, may The Song and The Book as you have them here stir the embers of memory and set the flame to burning brightly once more. 'And in the magic fire may you see again a proud falcon flying ever high. it Z ig Ei 4
