-if-x,w, X Pupils Participate ln Major Activities Every four years the Constitution provides for presi- dential elections in which citizens must decide on a new president. In November the students of Northwood also felt the pressure of this decision during the hectic week before the election. Students attended an assembly, and everybody was campaigning for their favorite candidate. Climaxing the week were mock elections in which students learned the responsibilities of voting. Not only did Northwood students help to evaluate their own country's future, but they also helped with the eval- uation of their school. Teachers, students, and parents assisted in the re-evaluation of the school's philosophy by suggesting changes in its structure. Preparation for the county evaluation started last year and was continued throughout this school year. Earlier this year the halls re- ceived a fresh coat of paint, and general repairs were made. County commissioners, who evaluate Northwood every ten years, visited and observed NHS during March. Junior Marsha Tucker takes time to evaluate the school philosophy. After the mock elections outside the cafeteria in November, SGA members Sara Axelrod, Mike Young, and Jeannie Dorman count the votes. l .,.,, : t l l tg. Q M, 'R l 3 46 Activities l a

Seniors Dramatize Annual Class Play On November 7-9 Northwood's senior class presented Mister Roberts, written by Thomas Heggan and Joshua Logan. lt tells the story of Lieutenant Roberts, an officer on the cargo ship the U.S.S. Reluctant, his conflict with the dictorial captain, and his desire to be in active warfare. Andy Gabrilovitch assumed the lead role of Mister Roberts. Because of his popularity with the crew, his welfare was their constant concern. Brian Kinsey's assumed Boston accent aided his convincing performance as the captain. Dave Gordon's successful portrayal of the ship's doctor required concen- tration on the slowed actions of a middle-aged man. Mike Hamlin assumed the role of the blundering Ensign Pulver, and Nan Swiger and Gail Schuldenfrei played the only female parts. With the assistance of faculty director Mr. Steve Sobelman, student director Karen Karl and stage manager Joanne Shnitzer saw that each committee carried out its specific duty. The strong support given to the directors by the stage crew, committees in charge of props, costumes, sets, make-up, lighting, and sound aided in making Mister Roberts a great success. Mike Hamlin, playing the role of Ensign Pulver, is covered with soap, as he emerges from the laundry room after exploding a firecracker. f b. Q' sf xx we ' Bs Ste. . -we we ' - , a . A . , WW?
