The year 1980 means more than graduation, it stands for the passage of another decade. The 70 ' s were of much national concern as it brought us from the Vietnam War to Anita Bryant ' s fight against homosexuals to the Iranian crisis. During the past ten years, this nation has survived three presidents. Three-Mile Island, and swine flu shots. We ' ve gone from the terrorists at the Iwlunich Olympics to an Olympic boycott in Moscow Fads credited to the ' 70 ' s include such things as Susan B. Anthony silver dollars, pet rocks, skateboarding, discos, yo-yos. and knicker-knockers. The ' 70 ' s found coming to life the muppets and the first test tube baby. Popular movies of the decade were Jaws I, Jaws II. Jaws III, Animal House, and Star Wars. Most guys will remember seeing Bo Derek in the movie 10 at least ten times. Television ' s Saturday Night Live contributed to the late ' 70 ' s with Mr. Bill, the Lubnars and Coneheads. The national attitude was changed when Archie Bunker and the Meathead took on issues of national concern. The theme of the ' 79- ' 80 yearbook is dreams. It ' s dedicated to the dreams of the nation, the dreams of the school and to personal dreams. Although everyone on the staff has their own interpretation of our theme, mine can be summed up best by the following philosophy: Yesterday is already a dream and tomorrow is only a vision, But today, well lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Our annual has taken many caring hours to put together. The dedication and hard work has finally come to an end. It is now ours to share. This has been a special year for Northwest High School. The Vikings have overcome many obstacles. We have built up our academics, athletics, and pride in our school. We are founded upon the ambitious striving to reach our final goal. Our yearbook is dedicated to our dreams. Dreams of yesterday, dreams of today, and dreams of tomorrow. Each of us have our own dreams which lead to many memories. Memories to cheer us up and to remind us from where we have come. The yearbook staff hopes that we have been able to capture some of those dreams and memories for you. We started with a vision — a dream — and now it has become a reality. It is also that way in life. We must be able to dream our dreams. But don ' t stop at just the dreaming. We must continue on until our dreams come true. -Brenda Eilts Anonymous The following is to be taken with good humor. This is to teach poor, abused, underfed, overworked teams not to hassle cheerleaders who happen to be on the annual staff. -Sue Mettenbrink It would not be fair of us to sign off this yearbook without writing a short note of thanks to all of those who help us put it together. The staff has put in many long, hard hours which may have seemed unappreciated. So, this is our final salute of appreciation and thanks to Mrs. Stevens and the rest of the staff for a job well done. -Sue and Brenda Mr. Sheffield ' s starting five. 151

We build a life on dreams. And what is life? Life is the beginning. Life is the start, Life is love. Deep in the heart. You see it In the sky. You see it in the sea. You see Life everywhere Running always free. You may hold it. You may touch it. You may see it. You may be it. But the only thing to do with Life is Love it. -Chris Fuss Much has happened to fulfill the Viking dream. The school has grown in numbers and scholastic effort. The activities have added verve and stature to Northwest. However, tragedy struck when the superintendent died In April of cancer. Mr. Rosencrants had lived to see his dream of the new addition but was only able to enjoy the fruit of his labor one year. -Wilma Stevens 150
