Hours before a dance, these students began preparing the decorations and setting up the canopy across the gym. Organizing school dances and taking part in school spirit week were the main accomplishments of the Social Committee. Difficulties occurred in securing chaperones, refreshments, and bands. On the first day of school, teachers found apples in their mail boxes welcoming them back to school. In addition, the Social Committee sponsored the Christmas door-decorating contest to promote school spirit and spark creativity.

Cordial greetings were offered all visitors and new- comers to Northwood by the Hospitality Committee.
