The music department again provided outstanding concerts fea- turing individual natural talent. Assemblies provided students with a variety of subjects ranging from talent in the entertainment field to election information and fi- nally talks concerning student con- duct and administrative guidelines by — Mr. Watson.

The days developed into a drone during this period of time, with natural, unquestioned events such as Christmas, mid-term exams and the hopes of snow. The first snow of winter came early in the season for students at Northwood High, causing them to miss two school days. The snow was a welcome but unnecessary break coming as it did between Thanksgiving and Christmas holi- days. Exchanging gifts, chorus and band concerts, along with the an- nual door-decorating contest con- tributed to spreading the spirit of Christmas throughout Northwood. The closing of the first semester brought the end of mid-winter. After exams, students made resolu- tions to improve and looked for- ward to Valentine’s Day and Spring. TOP LEFT: From left to right Diane Harmon, Theresa Wimberly, Donna Glosson and Billy Hughe exchange gifts showing their Christmas spirit.

BOTTOM RIGHT: Two snowmen symbolize the scene of Northwood in the season’s first snowfall. Student sales vital part of budget The student body was involved in many fund-raising projects this year for the benefit of their clubs and the general fund. Many students went door-to-door selling candy bars in a school-wide cam- paign. For their efforts, the ad- ministration bought two ping-pong tables for the commons area and distributed money among the various Clubs. Practically every club at NHS had a money-making project. Both the annual and newspaper staffs pushed sales to meet their ex- penses while the student council pushed ticket sales for the same purpose. Cheerleaders sold every- thing from tape to jewelry to raise money for uniforms and _ spirit boosters. National Honor Society members sold doughnuts and the FBLA stationary to support their projects. Students at Northwood work for their diplomas, but they sell for their school. TOP LEFT: Beverly McLain finds that Mrs. Beal is a good doughnut customer.

It allowed students to lick lollipops, celebrate Valentine’s Day by wearing red and white, show their school spirit on “Sunday Best Day’, and wear expressive T-shirts and toboggans. The week ended with a dance sponsored by the student council featuring “The Lovelights’’ and the crowning of Bettina Crump as the 1974 Valentine Queen.

The events which we. all experienced during the 73-74 school year were marked by change. Styles in fashions were made especially for the individualist. The dainty dress was definitely over-ruled by blue jeans and plaid flannel shirts. Birds, pop- ular sayings, flowers, mushrooms — anything — could be found embroidered on jeans and jackets worn by both males and females. Comfort- able brogans were teamed with striped, polka-dotted or multi- colored socks. Once-long hair found flowing down girls’ backs was trans- formed into pixie hair styles. The afro was still a major style but cornrows led in popularity. A well-liked style among boys was the layered look or shag. This year boys fussed over hair while girls simply washed, dried and ran a quick comb 2 Wt through theirs. Cycling, horseback riding, walking as means of transpor- tation were reborn due to the gas shortage. The Energy Crisis was a major news story. For the entire year the six o’clock news seemed involved with Watergate and threats of impeachment of the President. Every facet of the issue was discussed in classrooms. Fads, fashions, news events — all the elements making up our lifestyles were rearranged. 24 eo. or See ee Touring, Recreation And Adventure At Home and Abroad Oil Shortage—The Economy's New Puzzle 25 5 corr BRN i % cone SRS % % fe jee é ae Ps B® ¥ Paid ; . : peg BSS aie ke er 4 ooo’ or COOK OO Editor of the annual, Darlene Cox was also asst. editor of the annual her junior year.

To raise money for this the club sells doughnuts. Another project is the induction of new members in the fall. One of the most extensive changes in the Honor Society was the changing of the _ by-laws.

The next week 3-A Hillsboro handed the Chargers their first defeat of the season, 12-6. Charger chances for the confer- ence title were dashed when they lost a hard-fought battle with West Montgomery 18-21. Extra points proved to be deciding factors in two conference bouts. Union Pines won a close homecoming conflict 7-6 and the Chargers squeaked by arch-rival Jordon Matthews 8-6 in the last game of the season. Taking losses from all 3- A teams and two from conference teams, Northwood finished the season with a disappointing 5-5 overall record.

Four tough games were lost by two points or less. The Chargers were led by all-conference Eddie Minter who had a total of 327 points for the season.

Things such as weak support from the student body and con- troversial calling from officials af- fected the outcome of several key games. Although there was great disap- pointment, it was the first season since Coach Green took the varsity, that there has been a winning season. Much team work and effort has built pride in those playing even though they faced many disadvan- tages. TOP LEFT: Natalie Rogers traps a Central opponent as an official watches for fouls.

Class com- petition for a spirit stick awarded at each pep rally, and a variety of new chants and cheers made pep rallies the most enthusiastic in the history of the school. In addition, cheer- leaders wrote and presented origi- nal skits to add to the fun. To prepare for the year, they attended a four-day workshop at Meredith College. Cheerleaders began a_ hectic year of money raising by selling trash cans. In order to purchase uniforms and pompons the cheer- leaders sold _ buttons, ribbons, candy, and jewelry. Later, they won a third place trophy in the second annual North Hills 2-A Cheerleading Contest.

Administration 61 Knocking knees affected every candidate as they stood to give their campaign speechs for Student Council elec- tions. After a close run-off for the office of president, Anthony Bright was elected. Other officers were; Sharon Holder, vice-president; Jessica Huneycutt, secretary; Ray Johnson, treasurer. These officers formed the Executive Council. This election was supervised by the Constitution Committee made up of Randy Brown, Gail Brooks, Harry Mcintosh, Janet Spivey, Henry Lawhon and Facious Leake. This committee supervised the adoption of a permanent constitution and acted as the Student Council until officers were elected. Following the officers’ election,: classes selected three repre- sentatives each to form the Senate of the Student Council. This group in turn elected Randy Brown as Chairman of the Senate. The Student Council supervised Home- coming and Twerp Week and planned other school-wide activi- ties for students involvement. Well, they haven’t done too much for students.

Students became concerned about their re- sponsibilities in school government as candidates spread posters from wall to wall and buttons from head to toe. To serve as leaders for 1974-75, students chose Jan No- well, president; Wilma Alston, vice- president; Mildred Oldham, secre- tary; Karen Knight, treasurer. April 22-26 foreign language students and faculty celebrated In- ternational Week. Students de- picted the customs of various countries by wearing costumes, eating native foods during lan- guage classes, and listening to folk music during lunch. On Friday an assembly program featured skits, dances and songs done in the na- tive languages. yy Ye _- y TOP LEFT: Mildred Oldham hangs her cam- paign poster straight in hopes that it will stick long enough to do the job.

Our Town proves hit Gibbses, Webbs, and Soameses — they all came to life Thursday April 4 when the Northwood Players produced _ Thornton Wilder’s Our Town. This first major production for the Play Production Class was directed by Miss Linn Campbell. Northwood’s Drama De- partment was fortunate enough to participate in the Director-in- Residence program sponsored by the North Carolina Department of Education. With the help of Miss Ellen Kelly of New York City, the Class gained a _ better under- standing of the play and learned how to relate this to their audience. Enjoyed by all — cast and audi- ence — the play received good critical reviews and was a financial success.

CE REL AE SO TS TEI ET East Montgomery North Moore Chatham Central Jordan Matthews West Montgomery Union Pines a on a Ze oe _ Girls settle for second Athletes honored Girl’s activities seemed to domi- nate NHS sports after football season, and the 73-74 softball team was no exception. With ample let- terwomen_ returning from last year’s championship team, Coach Faye Loflin had potential for another outstanding team. The girls remained in a three-way battle throughout the year for first place with county rivals Jordan-Matthews and Chatham Central. The whole season boiled down to a do-or-die double header with upset minded North Moore. The Chargers split the two games, hence had to settle for second place. Charger junior, Laverne Burnette secured All-Con- ference honors at the season’s end. A special Awards reception honored athletes in all sports on May 24th. In addition to sports letters, an Athlete-of-the-Year Award was established by school principal, Edison Watson. This award for all-round ability, attitude and sportsmanship went to junior, Sidney Watson. Service awards went to Mr. Norris Farrell of the Carpentry Department and Mr. Car- roll Burnette, president of the Boosters’ Club. TOP LEFT: Gwen Cooley leaps high to catch a pop fly.

Injuries hamper Charger season Coach Ronald Horton took a team composed of four freshmen, four seniors and only six lettermen into spring training with high hopes and great potential for rebuilding a team which lost six seniors. These hopes were to be short-lived. Lack of experience, lack of bench strength and the loss of two key players (short-stop-pitcher Johnny Baldwin and_ senior _left-fielder Danny Williams) were the causes of the Charge rs dismal 3-15 record. Even though the Chargers failed to produce a winning season, Coaches Horton and Dark have es- tablished a platform of valuable éx- perience for next year. Senior utili- ty man Andy Seymour claimed All- Conference honors at the end of the season. TOP LEFT: Senior Bobby Gales gets ready to nail Union Pines runner at first base.

Both were made a success by, and were rewards for, hard work on the part of students. Each was enjoyed by a large per- centage of the students. With the willing help of enthusi- astic juniors, the everyday cafete- ria was turned into a _ beautiful country meadow, representing the theme of Junior-Senior, Pieces of April. The sky was simulated by blue and white streamers, and the art class transformed the windows into acres of spring flowers. Students enjoyed dancing to the music of Bill Deal and the Ron- dells. Later in the spring, an Awards Day was held for the first time at Northwood to recognize outstand- ing students. Departmental awards were given by the faculty, and special individual awards were sponsored by outside organiza- tions as well as clubs and faculty. Student assistants such as bus drivers, library and office assis- tants also received recognition.

The Sunday ser- vice for Seniors was held on May 26. The address was delivered by Reverend Preston Jones, Chaplain of Black Campus Ministry at UNC- CH. The following Thursday night Graduation began with the presen- tation of the many awards and scholarships earned by seniors. Folk singers Carol Leigh Ponder and Dr. Bruce Wolff sang a selec- tion of songs for an unusual pro- gram. One hundred eighty-one students received diplomas to complete ties with the school. The chorus concluded the program with the first public performance of Northwood’s Alma Mater, written by Principal Edison E. Watson and set to music by Dr. Charles Horton.
