Northwood has instituted many changes for bet- terment on its way to achieving this goal. The changes occuring in 1975-76 combined to take Northwood ANOTHER STEP FOR- WARD. The addition of semester courses widened and provided variety in the curriculum this year. Giving students the freedom to plan their schedules according to their individual interests in- creased incentive. A changeover in classes at midyear offered vari- ation in dull schedules. Northwood had the benefit of two specially funded programs this year. Project Entice provided full-time classes in Creative Dance and Drama and gave the school a unique distinction. Northwood was the only high school in North Carolina whose curriculum included full-time classes in both areas. The major objective of the program was to increase the student’s creativity and to provide the school with more high-interest elective courses. As a result of its efforts the dance class presented several programs to the student body during the year, one being “Dance Macabre'' at Halloween. In its first production of the year, the drama class held an evening of cabaret entertainment. In the spring the class presented the school's first musical, “Music Man. The purpose of the English En- richment Program, another spe- cially funded project, was to challenge exceptional and tal- ented students. The basis used to select participants in the class was their performance on a test of reading abilities administered pe- riodically throughout the year. Northwood took steps in a number of other areas. A no- ticeable improvement in the facili- ties came with the completion of the football field and fieldhouse. With Mr. Burke accepting the role of new principal the school was fortunate to receive a man sympa- thetic with the needs of all students and faculty members. His willingness to assist in any manner possible opened the lines of communication between the administration and student body. In an unprecedented move the English department added a male member to its staff. Not only did this bring variety, it also in- creased the ability of the depart- ment to serve students on all levels. Northwood is now under con- sideration for accreditation by the Southern Association of Second- ary Schools and Colleges. The steps toward betterment which the school took this year should prove expedient in helping it achieve this distinction. Burke opens school year Summer s pleasures, amusements, and labor drew to a close for North- wood's students when they returned to school August 21. The biggest news of the new year was that North- wood had a new principal, its third in four years. On the opening day Mr. Joe Burke, former teacher of social studies at the school, introduced him- self as the new principal. He made clear to the student body what was expected of them and expressed his hopes for the coming year. During the days that followed it was difficult for most students to realize that summer was over and settle down to another year of study. Freshmen wandered helplessly around the school not certain of where they were going. But before long the frustration ended and the school relaxed into the routine of another year. 1. Football players were hard at work before the season began, preparing for the season ahead. 2. Mr. Burke speaks to the student body at the orientation assembly on the opening day of school. 3. Seniors had enviromentals portraits taken August 27. Here a group fills out order forms while they patiently await the photographer. 4. Freshmen Sarah Cooper and Margaret Oldham found Northwood to be a change until they became accustomed to the new sur- roundings! 5. Northwood's halls are mass confusion on the first days of the year. Summer — Opening of school 7 Students ride to school on two, four, or six wheels Although about three fourths of the student body arrived at school by bus, many perferred the convenience of a car or even a motorcycle. Drivers of cars had a designated parking lot separated from the bus parking and were required to pay for parking priv- ileges. A few early teachers and students arrived a little after 7:30. At 7:55 the buses opened their doors to release a rush of students for the school day. 1. To save gasoline, many students car pool. 2. Elementary bus drivers. Dwayne Bradley and Debbie Sparrow, arrive at school from Horton on the shuttle bus. 3. Among other tasks. Mr Henry Kitchings checks parking stickers. 4. Sleepy students unload after a long trip to school on the bus. Many boarded as early as 6 30 am. 5. Bett and Charlotte Wilson wait in the winter cold for the bus. 6. Mr Brooks and his assistant Deborah Baldwin check over absentee slips for the morning. 8 Getting to school Getting to school 9 with dance, drama programs Another step forward in North- wood’s progress was the increase in the variety and number of as- semblies held this year. The chorus and band had their annual assemblies. The Project Entice Program was responsible for sev- eral assemblies in which students were exposed to dance and drama The project presented the Carolina Readers Theatre, the UNC-G Dance Company, and Voices Inc. to the student body during the year. 1.

Varsity cheer- leaders organized the daily activi- ties. Students were allowed to chew gum the entire day, even during classes on Monday. Bubblegum and Balloon Day. Tuesday. October 14, was Bicen- tennial Day. Students wore 1776 costumes or the patriotic colors of red, white, and blue. On Party Day, Wednesday, Oct- ober 15, students dressed as if they were going to a Masquerade party. During all lunch shifts that day, cheerleaders provided party games such as Pin the Tail on the Charger, Twister, and Bobbing for Apples. Thursday, everyone found a way to participate since lollipops could be eaten. Hats and shades and crazy socks were a part of many students costumes. Friday was Green and Gold Day. Everytime the bell rang students yelled “Beat the Bears . The game although it was Homecoming was concelled because of rain. Never- theless, the Homecoming Dance remained scheduled for Friday night. The band, Sunny Days from Chapel Hill, provided the music for the evening. While the Homecoming Court was introduced at the dance, the actual crowning was reserved for the halftime show on Monday night. The Homecoming court was selected by a majority vote of the girls’ classmates. Nominations were made on the class level from each homeroom. Two elections were held during the week, the first to narrow the field down to two nominees from each class. In the second the entire student body selected the Homecoming Queen from the class nominees. Senior class representative Debbie Leesnitzer was crowned Homecoming Queen of 1975-76. The football team fought for a vic- tory over the Bears and won 7-6. 1. Randy Brooks finds that there is a lot more to bobbing for apples than meets the eye. 2.

There was of course, the usual jubilation that Friday was at last here, but that feeling was greatly intensified by the thoughts of the upcoming holiday vacation. Preparation for the holidays began with the door decorating contest and the cheerfully or- namented trees. Concerts provided by the bands and choruses brought on songs of the season that coaxed nearly everyone to hum or sing. Mixed with the excitement and joy of this occasion was the sadness of knowing that Friday, December 19, would be Mrs. Mary Branch's last day of teaching at Northwood. With deep regret over the loss of Mrs. Branch and with high expectations for a joyous Christmas and a prosperous new year, the students and faculty of Northwood went home for the holi- days. 16 Christmas 1.

Christmas 17 Students register for first primary in N.C. 1975-76 brought many national events that affected the lives of the students of Northwood. The country's 200th birthday was one of the most memorable occasions for many students. Many small things were done at Northwood to honor the Bicentennial, one being the all-American nutty buddy ice cream wrappers. Some students developed hobbies con- cerning the Bicentennial and shared their talent with others students and teachers. Gil Boggs demonstrated his skill in the art of clogging to a history class. The senior class frequently used slogans pertaining to the “Spirit of '76 . The Liberty Bell was also used as a symbol of the class of 1976. Among major headlines were the capture and trails of Patty Hearst. Other news items of the year were the Middle East wars and the campaigns for national offices. In March many students cast ballots in the first North Carolina presidential primary. In order to aid students in registering, the Student Council held a registration drive, with Mrs. Joyce Cotten serving as regis- trar. During the drive, pamphlets and booklets were given out on the dif- ferent parties. Steve Brown was one of the students that registered under Mrs. Cotten. 18 Events of the year Events of the year 19 CB’s biggest fad of 1975-76 Throughout a year many pat- terns and trends are established by fads of fashions. These pat- terns influence one's apparel, hobbies, and amusements. How- ever fads and fashion change each year and lifestyles change accordingly. This year the main article of clothing was sweaters. These sweaters had a variety of solid, striped, and scenic designs in both cardigan and pullover styles. To accent the sweaters girls wore scarves with them. Scarves were seen in all colors and designs. They could be tied a va- riety of ways to show each person’s uniqueness. Wallabees were still a major part of the footwear. However, Earth shoes were introduced and immediately took prominence. A common scene to watch was a group of girls standing together comparing mood rings. These rings were very popular and could reveal everyone’s mood by their color. Another popular fashion acces- sory was the necklace. These necklaces were made of various kinds of material but the major difference was the fact that boys were also wearing them. Afros, cornrows, and shag hairdos continued as popular hairstyles. The most common out-of- school amusement was com- municating on citizen’s band radios. Many students had them in their cars while others had access to one at home. Many selected a handle to use on their CB. Entertainment was also found in areas of acting and music. “Jaws” was the most popular movie viewed by all. A variety of tastes in music was also shown. 20 Fads and Fashions Fads and Fashions 21 Previously scheduled for Febru- ary 9 through 14, Twirp Week was held February 16 through 21 due to difficulties in procurring a band. The one week’s delay, however, didn’t dampen the student body's enthusiasm. On Monday the students wore bandannas in their favorite colors. This day was quite successful because bandannas have been very popular at NHS this year. Student-Teacher Day finally gave the students the opportunity to get a first hand account of what it is like being a teacher, as many students were allowed to teach classes. Baggy, cuffed, pants, long skirts, bobby socks, and pony-tails were common sights on Wednesday, The ’50’s Day. Thursday was Green and Gold Day. The students showed their homage to NHS by wearing green and gold, the school colors. Sadie Hawkins Day, held on Friday, gave the girls the opportu- nity of asking the guys to the dance. Judging from the number of people at the dance, the girls really took advantage of the ephemeral privi- ledge to break the traditional rules of etiquette. Saturday night was the climactic end of the week of activities planned by the Student Council. The students and faculty were en- tertained by ‘The Sly, The Slick, and The Wicked.” During the inter- mission, William Bynum, Senate chairman, introduced the court and announced the Valentine Queen. Calmly, William began making the announcement the student body had awaited all week, “Second runner-up, Dawn Quinlan; first runner-up, Teresa Clark; and the 1975-76 Valentine Queen, Natalie Rogers.” Tears, hugs, and screams filled the air. Another evening of pleasant memories were once again made at Northwood. 1. Twerp Court for the 1975-76 school year are from left to right; front: Corledia McClinton, Tami Goodwin. Cindy Lynch.

Twerp Week 23 French student Pascale Leblanc adjusts to new lifestyle Pascale Marie Therese Leblanc, a French exchange student, arrived in the United States on August 25, 1975 and studied as a Senior at North- wood. She was part of the Interna- tional Cultural Exchange Program (ICX) and was one of thirty-four exchange students in North Carolina. Her visit was ANOTHER STEP FOR- WARD because Pascale was the first exchange student to live in Pittsboro and attend classes at Northwood. Pascale arrived two days after school had started and quickly ad- justed to a new lifestyle, language, family and school. She lived with the James Mulligan family and enjoyed telling them of life in France. She was soon involved in student life at North- wood as she signed up for classes, attended her first football game, par- ticipated in Spirit Week and made new friends. At home. Pascale enjoyed horse- back riding, sailing, and getting ac- customed to American Food. She found she liked peanut butter, marsh- mallows. and corn, foods which aren’t eaten in France. Along with eating strange food, Pascale participated in many new activities which she had never tried before, such as playing softball, trying her luck on a pogo- stick and celebrating such holidays as Thanksgiving. She had a chance to see different parts of the U.S. as she traveled to Florida, Ohio, Washington D.C. before returning to France in mid-July to fur- ther her education at a University in Lille. 1.

What dif- ference does it make now it’s all over? We tried our hardest and they were behind us; that's what made it another step for- ward. Some said if we won we could draw a crowd. We believe if we could draw a crowd we could win. The new football field, a new basketball coach and a rise in spirit helped to make this year better than last. Now the bleachers are silent. Soon they will be filled with the sounds of hearts outpouring. A new year, will come, and like this year, we will fight with our heads held high no matter what the final score may be. Chargers slip 2-2-2 in CTH Returning with a team of 18 let- termen, all of whom had started at one time or another during the 1974 season, the Chargers were ex- pected to produce a bright season. Over thirty young men, going through four weeks of grueling practice in the hot August sun, turned even the most pessimistic of fans to dreams of victory. These dreams suffered a severe blow early in the season when the 26 Varsity Football Chargers traveled down to Harnett County. A revenge-minded Lill- ington team blasted the Chargers by a score of 38-20. But the solid defeat wasn't all the misfortune that the Chargers encountered. Starting quarterback Shawn Goins suffered a dislocated shoulder and was sidelined for five games. Defense was a confusing matter for the Chargers. In three games against outside opponents the Chargers yielded 92 points. In play against CTH foes, Northwood regis- tered three shutouts. Running backs Walter Burnette and George Mathews carried the Chargers on the ground. All-CTH receiver Johnny Baldwin led Northwood'S aerial attack. On defense, junior Tim Green and sophomore Sharone Price led the team in tackles and assists. 1 Sophomore quarterback Shawn Goins eludes a Chatham Central defender 2.

The jayvees started with a 26-0 win over Orange in rainy Hillsborough. The Chargers played in the rain for the following two weeks posting wins over East Montgomery and North Moore. The first three games saw the Chargers outscore their oppo- nents 112-0. Hopes for a conference cham- pionship were washed away with defeats at the hands of West Mont- gomery and Union Pines by scores of 0-28 and 14-19. Leading the Baby Chargers' of- fensive attack for the year were run- ning backs Bernard Leach and Roscoe Burnette. Jimmy Moore, Marlee Sanders and Barry Raines anchored a stalwart defense. 30 J.V.

But as always, only the one that could come to the closest to standards of an ideal cheerleader made the squad. The requirements which had to be met were two jumps, two stunts, one cheer, chant, group cheer, and group stunt. After summer practice sessions and attending cheerleading camp, school began and cheerleading took on the responsibility of receiving school spirit. This year like last, the spirit stick was awarded to the class with the most spirit, but in addition, a Dynamite stick was awarded to the class being the loudest. The varsity cheerleaders have worked hard this year preparing skits and raising money to buy new uniforms. 32 Varsity Cheerleaders 1.

Most of the cheerleaders at- tended the ICF (International Cheerleading Foundation) cheer- leading camp during the summer. For the first time, the J.V. cheerleaders had a mascot, Susan Boone, a third grader from Pitts- boro Primary. This year the J.V. cheerleaders earned money to buy new uniforms by selling plaques and candles. The J.V.s held a successful pep rally during September when they introduced J.V. football players, led several chants, and gave the spirit stick to the Sophomores. Qualities of trust, friendship and loyalty de- veloped by working together. 34 J.V. Cheerleaders Majorettes and Chargerettes add to spirit Under the leadership of Mrs. Sherry Harrell, the Chargerettes and Majorettes squads were involved in halftime entertainment and marching in parades. The Chargerettes sold pendants to make money for their treasury. The Majorettes sponsored a car wash and went to camp at Meredith. The Majorettes also plan to march in upcoming Bicentennial parades and activities. 1. Kim Carter sells a pendant to Kathy Braxton as part of a fund raising project for the Chargerettes. 2.

With a record of five wins and no losses, the Ladies handled their first five noncon- ference games quite easily. Teamwork and extra effort seemed to be the motto of the Chargers as they went on to finish with the best record of any Varsity Girl’s team to wear the Green and Gold. 36 Varsity Basketball Accident prone Lady Chargers place fourth NHS OPP.

The ladies lacked no experience as eight of them were re- turning lettermen from the previous year. Two of these lettermen included all-conference performers Natalie Rogers and Mary Davis. The Chargers seemed to possess everything they needed to look ahead to the confer- ence title. The period after Christmas brought with it happy as well as disappointing times for the Chargers. Six confer- ence losses dimmed their chances for the title and a little of their spirit was lost in the process. However, the main factor that ac- counted for their somewhat disap- pointing season was injuries. Only three of the twelve team members went without an injury of some type. Despite injuries, the Lady Chargers placed fourth in the conference and went undefeated in non-conference play. They finished the season with an overall record of 13-7, a record which brought pride to Northwood’s women’s athletics. Varsity Basketball 37 From the beginning of the season, the 1975-76 Charger basketball team was destined to suffer a long season. Numerous obstacles stood in the Chargers’ way. The main barrier was ad- justing to a new coach. Adrian Allred inherited a team of inex- perienced players, none of whom had seen much varsity playing time. Of last year’s team, the first six players, including 6’10’’ All- American Tyrone Edwards, gra- duated. The Chargers suffered from these obstacles throughout the whole season losing 17 games. Despite all the losses, the Chargers had a good team. Down the stretch the Chargers suffered close losses to the top teams in the conference and won games over Broadway, East Montgomery, and North Moore. 38 Varsity Basketball Inexperience handicaps 76 Chargers NHS OPP Apex 43 82 So.

As the season progressed, spirit and enthusiasm rose as they racked up victories. Winning two tough games by only one point proved that the J.V. Chargerettes could play under pressure. Although they lost two consecutive games in the middle of the season, the girls’ record was the best in the conference; therefore, the J.V. girls were the regular season champions. These two losses did not dampen their spirits as they received a bye in the first round of the tournament and won their semi-final game against North Moore. A disappointing one point loss in overtime in the cham- pionship game gave the J.V. Char- gerettes a runner-up trophy. Rebuilding the J.V. boys team did not seem to be a difficult task. The three returnees and twelve new- comers proved that they could per- form well together from the begin- ning of the season. These boys had the most balanced scoring of any other team in the conference. Losing the first game did not prevent them from winning the next six games. The three games lost during the regular season were not by more than five points. Norris Thomas, Bernard Leach, and 40 J.V.

Despite the championship memories it holds, playing on a field three miles away from school on “home” games left something to be desired. The completion of a new football field and a field house on campus has meant a lot to everyone involved with Charger football. Though as talented as ever, NHS athletes just don’t have the size of the champions of yesteryear. The purchase of a universal weight machine should help lessen this disadvantage. The field, field house, and weight machine were some of the results of 1975-76 at NHS. Perhaps this year of progress was just the first of more to come as Northwood took another step forward in athletics. 1. Stuart Lutterloh tests NHS’s new $3600 weight machine. 2. Juniors Ernest Richardson and Tim Green check out their equipment in the new field house 3. The Chargers enter for their first game on the James Griffin Memorial Field. 42 Curriculum Halls are silent now; free from worry about grades and homework, exams and credits, and all the pres- sures that sometimes made school one big hassle. The majority of us made it through. Maybe it was a challenge, but challenges are to be overcome. Drama and Dance gave us new ways to express ourselves. Semester courses finally gave us a choice of what WE WANTED TO TAKE. But most important, school was a place of learning about our- selves and about others. The pressures, the laughs, the tears, the headaches all served to move us another step towards the end of our high school years. But more important they served as another step that marked the beginning of the rest of our lives. 1. Mrs. Cotten looks over the agenda for one of the many committee meetings. 2. Delphine McMiller and Leon Scurlock fill out a Questionnaire used to get student opinion for several committees. 3. Heads of major committees meet with Mrs. Cotten and Mr. Joe Burke in the library to plan their work. 4. Student and parent members of the Student Activity Committee participate in a lively exchange of ideas about improve- ments they feel are needed 5. Terry Jones types up a committee report. Business students provided this help as student contribution to the work. 6. Mr. Gene Brooks, chairman of the School and Community Committee prepares his report for a full faculty hearing. 44 Southern Association Study School begins important SA study Most important among the events of 1975-76 was the school’s beginning of its self-study for Southern Associa- tion accreditation. This work by com- mittees of faculty, students and parents often went unnoticed by students as a whole since most meet- ings were held after school or at night. The study was directed by a Steer- ing Committee which appointed committees, oversaw budgets, set deadlines, and in general tried to find answers for the many questions and problems the study raised. Mrs. Joyce Cotten served as chairman of this committee which included Mr. Joe Burke, Miss Ann Roach, Mrs. Virginia Daniel, Mrs. Doris Huneycutt, Mr. Er- nest Dark, Mr. Norris Farrell and Mr. Bishop Leach. Principal purpose of the study was to evaluate the school by national standards and discover the strengths and weaknesses in such areas as cur- riculum, student activities, facilities and general services such as guid- ance and library. The study will continue through the 1976 year with a visiting committee of educators from across the state coming to the school in February 1977 for the final evaluation. This forward step had been post- poned for Northwood for several years until the building was com- pleted. Accreditation will mean the school will be readily accepted as belonging to a select group of credit- able schools in the South. V 46 English New English courses offer variety, change Although four units of English were still required to graduate, upper classmen enjoyed increased variety because of new semester courses, ranging from College Preparatory Composition to Ethnic Studies. Underclassmen prepared for these courses by gaining lan- guage arts skills in freshman and sophomore English. Mass-Media and Com- munications. a course to help students deal intelligently with the media was offered both semesters. Learning how to compose short films with the new super 8 camera and equipment was included. Two recommended college pre- paratory courses were American Novel and British Masterpieces. Students read outstanding works as they gained skills in literary in- terpretations. College Preparatory and Ad- vanced Composition and Oral Com- munications dealt with several aspects of composition and oral presentations. Students learned various types of writing forms how to write a term paper, and practiced presenting an oral report or speech. Business English dealt with written and oral expression useful in daily living, especially in busi- ness situations. It included writing letters, resumes and interoffice communications. Sports and the Outdoors. Science Fiction, and Hooked on Books all included intensive reading under different aspects of each course. In Ethnic Studies, students studied the literature of various ethnic groups, especially Black Studies. 1. Debbie Bell examines one of the rafts made for the visual section of a project for American Novel. 2. Tammy Wiseman and JoAnn Burke sing an original song they wrote to illus- trate the theme of a short story they read in sophomore English. 3. Barry Horton and Mike McGee reload the new Super 8 camera used in Mass- Media. 4. Donna Bouldin hangs a poster used in sophomore English. 5. Mr. McKee adjusts the volume and the intensity of light on the new video-tape machine. 6. Danny Johnson displays one of his In- dian relics while giving a speech for his Oral Communications class. 7. Mrs. Branch, the individualized instruc- tion teacher, helps Wilbert Williams with an expository paper. English 47 Foreign students add to language classes New students created small changes in the routine of the foreign language department. Pas- cale Leblanc, a French exchange student, offered aid to Mrs. Kidd's students. During their free time, many students sought her advice. Miss Willis reversed her usual task. Each morning during first period she taught English to the Perezes, a Spanish-speaking family from New Mexico. Individualized instruction and the use of Learning Activity Packages were used in the math department to increase students awareness of their mathematical abilities. Dif- ferent courses of the department prepared students for college en- trance and everyday application. 1. Mr. Johnson explains geometric proce- dures to Danny Berdme. 2. Willie Rogers takes advantage of individu- alized instruction offered by Ms. Roach. 3. Mrs. Kidd helps her French I class to learn the days of the week in French. 4. Pat Mason studies for her mid-term exam. 5. The Perez family concentrates on En- glish. 48 Mathematics 50 History Five history courses offered There are a few courses required for all students to take and pass before graduating. Included in these are two history courses, one being U S. History. Students have a choice of world history, government, sociolo- gy and economics to fill the other requirement. U.S. history students could often be seen checking out a book in the library to fill out book reports. After much pondering, the students in world history were finally able to identify all the countries of the world. The government class frequently hosted guest speakers from the local government. Abortion, divorce and religion were only a few of the topics discussed in sociology while reces- sion and inflation were often talked about in economics. 1. Ponda Stone. Phil Jameson, and Bobby Cerdena look for articles for a U.S. history project. 2. Ruby Renolds asks for assistance from Mr. Shaner during sociology. 3. Dalvin Wood artistically paints an extra credit project in world history. 4 Marty Johnson experiments with danc- ing doll . 5. Amy Wagner swears in Joni McIntosh for a mock trial held in U.S. history. History 51 Physics extends science curriculum Choice of sciences for students at Northwood include physical science, biology, chemistry, Ad- vanced Chemistry, and physics. In physical science students ex- perimented with the elements by collecting and testing gases. Exper- iments were also conducted to de- termine if solutions were soluble. Students found the Periodic Table very helpful. Biology students studied the in- vertebrates closely including their habitat, niche, and behavior. They also studied invertebrae specimens for a clearer understanding of structure. Chemistry students experimented using test tubes and microscopes. They received lectures on various formulas and did worksheets dealing with these formulas. Advanced Chemistry and physics proved to be very challenging to many students. They performed ex- periments using gases and studied mole problems in Advanced Chem- istry. Physics took a closer look at the principles behind scientific theories. Meter sticks have been used in experiments to illustrate these principles. 52 Science 1. Mrs. Murchison instructs Rachel Welch on a chemical formula 2. Denise Smith, Tim Burnette, and Roscoe Burnette experiment with measuring temper- ature in physical science. 3. Don Sparrow. Charlene Bouldin. Gary Oakley and Diane Goodwin experiment with the reduction of hydrogen. 4. Don Sparrow conducts an experiment in Physics. 5. Tony Barber makes a drawing of the slide he is observing in biology. Science 53 P.E. students enjoy new equipment Physical education at Northwood progressed in the direction of in- creasing student’s physical fitness with the purchase of a universal weight machine for use in class conditioning programs. Freshman physical education was taught by Mr. Ronald Horton and Miss Fay Loflin, and Advanced P.E. by Mr. Charles Green. Physical education is a required course for all freshmen and an elective course for juniors and seniors. Health is also required for freshmen. The course included units on different systems of the body as well as physical fitness and personal appearance. 54 Physical Education D.E. students practice skills Driver’s Education, taught at Northwood by Mr. Henry Kitchings, included 30 hours of classroom work and six hours of behind-the- wheel training. Passing classroom work was a prerequisite for taking behind-the wheel training. Some subjects taken up during classroom work were identification of road signs, laws that concern highways, highway safety and defensive driving techniques. Driving training took the classroom units and put them to use in practical situations on the road. 1. Anthony Smith goes in for a lay up in freshman P.E. class. 2. Jane Braxton tries her hand at an un- derhand shot while Donna Clegg and Rachel Welch look on. 3. Advanced P.E. student. Felipe Wilkie goes after a well-placed volley ball. 4 Jimmy Baldwin goes up for a rebound during P.E. 5. Neal Howard returns to class after his hour of on-the-road training. 6.

Under the new supervision of Mrs. Poindexter, the 1975-76 “Hoofbeats” staff has strived to create a better quality newspaper. To produce a school paper each month requires a series of duties in- volving the talents of each staff member. First, a list is made of pos- sible articles, which is adapted to the theme of that particular month. Responsibilities are divided and material for articles is investigated. Articles are written and typed. When articles have been proofread, they are retyped and set in col- umns. After, this, the articles are turned over to the layout committee and retyped on a stencil. All that is left to do then, is run the paper off, put it together and hopefully sell it. 1. Mrs. Poindexter explains the proper way to write an editoral. 2. Jackie Farrar sells Natalie Rogers a copy of the latest edition of Hoofbeats . 3. Shree Davis does research for an article. 4. Cindy Horton retypes a stencil to be run off. 5. Ginger Johnson and Danny Berdme proofread material before it is to be retyped. 56 Journalism Journalism 57 Staff members receive credit When a student, faculty member, or visitor walked by the annual of- fice during 5th and 6th period, they saw staff members hurrying about. In spite of popular opinion, annual was not a ‘crip'' course. Most peo- ple would have thought just the op- posite after having to plan pictures, write copy, draw layouts, etc, to meet each of the four deadlines during the course of the school year. In the past, being an annual staff member was purely a matter of in- terest, but this year the course was credited. The darkroom stayed busy most of the school day. Photographers came in to develop pictures and rushed out to take pictures. It was a rarity when they made it to the an- nual office where editors and the rest of the staff of 34 were working during 5th and 6th period. The busi- ness manager kept records of all receipts and money to balance the annual's 6,500 dollar budget. This large price was not too high to pay for a book that is appreciated by ev- eryone. 58 Annual 1. Gaynelle Holder works all day sorting pictures to prepare her layout for the first annual deadline. 2. Kathy Sears completes the tedious job of cropping a picture. 3. Bob Norwood, an annual photographer, fills a picture order for a fellow staff member 4. Denise Shropshire searches for a picture on a contact sheet, while Eddie Furr draws a layout. 5.

Annual 59 Office skills provide employment options The Business Department included all typing classes along with short- hand and a special office occupations class. The typing classes were taught by Mrs. Virginia Daniel, Mrs. Clara Dark, and Mrs. Joyce Cotton. In the majority of typing classes, assign- ments were made daily. Students learned the basic skills of typing such as the correct way to type business letters, manuscripts, and tabulation drills. The office occupations class was taught by Mrs. Joyce Cotton. This was a special class of around twenty girls who were taught not only typing, but the use of basic equipment found in most offices. They worked a great deal on individualized instruction which allowed each girl to learn the use of all the equipment. 1. Kathy Grace struggles with her typewriter in Typing I while Lisha Lloyd looks on. 2. Kim Carter begins another day in Typing I by trying to catch up on past assignments. 3. Mrs. Daniel assists Connie Nordan in com- pleting her assignment in Typing I. 4 Micki Howard shows her typing technique as she types an assignment. 5. Cathy Byrd types an unbound manuscript in Mrs. Daniel's Typing I class. Business and Office Education 61 Miss Baldwin joins Home Economics staff The Home Economics department this year had three major classes; Intro- ductory Home Ec., Food Service, and Clothing Ser- vice. Miss Sybil Baldwin, a new teacher at Northwood this year, taught Introduc- tory Home Ec., which emphasized the basics in personal care, cooking, sewing, and child care. This class gave students an idea of the skills needed in running a household. Miss Deborah Sudor pre- pared her Food Service students for restaurant and other professional cooking careers this year. Last fall they sold casseroles and cakes to the faculty to raise money for class trips and to practice their cooking abili- ties. Professional sewing techniques were empha- sized in Mrs. Sally Horton's Clothing Service classes. This year the students worked on making per- sonal outfits, embroidery, monograming, and the con- struction of curtains and draperies. 62 Home Economics practicing their cooking skills. 1 Darlene Alston sews pockets on jacket in Clothing Service class. 2 Diane Strona learns how to dress a baby m Introductory Home Economics. 3 Carolyn Farrington threads a needle in preparation for her embroidery project. 4 Deborah Nettles and Lavern Murray enjoy 5.

Field house main vocational project The field house was the major proj- ect for both Carpentry and Brick- laying classes. The classes learned the basic traits of building while giving the school a fieldhouse. Bricklaying is taught by Mr. Thom- as Bryant. Bricklaying I is mostly compiled of learning the basic skills. While Bricklaying II was involved with the fieldhouse. Carpentry is instructed by Mr. Norris Farrell. Basically the carpentry classes were concerned with the fieldhouse also. While working they learned the basic rules of building a house. 1. Mr. Norris Farrell, leader of the Carpentry classes. 2. Ray Bouldin figures the measurements on a stereo cabinet. 3.

Horticulture students studied the proper care of plants and different techniques of propagating and transplanting seedlings. Agro-Mechanic students learned the basic functions of small engines and their uses as well as how to maintain and repair them. Forestry students were taught to use the forest resources to their ad- vantage. They learned methods of both producing and harvesting timber. Agriculture students learned modern farming techniques and the uses of different tools. These students helped the Northwood campus by picking up trash around the school. Vocational Education 67 1.

The Concert choir poses before giving a concert in the auditorium. 68 Chorus Concert Choir celebrates Bicentennial To help celebrate the nation’s bi- centennial this year, the Concert Choir decided to dress the part in new red, white, and blue outfits. The female members of the choir were pleased with the change because their outfits included pants instead of dresses, and were much easier to travel in. Among the choir’s concerts this spring was a two-day trip to Charlotte to sing for a state bicenten- nial celebration. The choir also helped the senior class to sponsor a talent show at Northwood to raise money for trips. The Green and Gold chorus and the Chorale have also given several concerts this year at various local schools. The purpose of these two choruses is to prepare their members for the Concert Choir. Each spring there is an audition and those who show definite talent are inducted into next year's choir. Dr. Horton’s Music Appreciation class increased in size this year because more students showed inter- est in it. This class introduced to students different types of music, their histories, changes in music, and famous people in the history of the music world. Chorus 69 Band participates in variety of activities 1975 was an incredibly busy year for the NHS band. In addition to playing at halftime activities during all home football games and oc- casionally away, the band partici- pated in many Christmas parades, played spirited music during pep rallies, attended Band Day at UNC- CH and gave a number of enter- taining concerts. Mr. Henry Hunt, in his seventh year consecutively as band director, was actively caught up in coordinating the bands at Horton and Moncure Schools as well as the band here. He is constantly tried to find new ways to entice the music students in- terest. Not only does the program offer a concert band and a marching band, but for the 76-77 year, he proposes a stage band. This band, which would consist of approximately 15 to 20 members who have a special interest in this kind of music, would operate much like a club, meeting and practicing during club periods. 1. The 1975-76 Northwood High School Marching Band poses for their annual pic- ture. 2. The band plays the ‘Horse a student body favorite, during a pep rally. 3.

Band 71 Art students develop talent independently The inner satisfaction one gets from expressing himself is achieved through the art classes at North- wood. In each class, depending on the number of years of art a student has had, a yearly pattern has devel- oped. First year students spend their time learning the fundamentals of color and design. While cutting out letters from pieces of square paper may seem very elementary, it is merely the first step Mrs. Wanda Tilley uses in teaching her students about layout and design. Second year students put to use the basics that they learned in Art I. This year is spent discovering new types of art, art history, and dif- ferent artists, old and new. Most students who have taken art for three or four years at NHS have seriously considered entering the field of art. These students spend the year checking into different schools and simply developing their own special talents and interests. Two walls were painted by Debbie Leesnitzer, Beth Atwater, and Linda Yates. Beth Atwater spent a lot of time producing sketches to put in a portfolio for college and job presentations. Elaine Hooks spent many hours working on the weaving loom. No matter how many years a student may have had art, he can be individual in his own work. 72 Art 1. Victoria Lee examines her finished linoleum block print. 2. Mike Lucas experiments with watercolors to learn how to mix colors. 3. Kenneth Baldwin, a first year art student learns the basics for layout and design. 4.

Art 73 Cabaret draws huge crowds Drama classes started this year under the direction of Kevin McKee. Students were taught how to become more aware of people, sounds, situations and life in gener- al. “Tapping into the past” and remembering every detail of a cer- tain time was one of the first lessons taught to students to help them create a certain mood or to get a particular message across to the audience. The Carolina Readers’ Theater performed for the entire student body. The following day, members of the impressive group taught special classes to dance and drama students in improvisation and movement. The biggest production, Cabaret, involved many students. The show consisted of songs from top Broadway musical plays. In be- tween songs there were skits, a magic act, dances, and special fea- ture songs. In the second part of the show the happy, the sad, and always the funny clowns appeared, passing out balloons to children in the audience. This musical variety show gave drama students a taste of the “spotlight stage experience that many were to learn more of with the upcoming musical produc- tion of “The Music Man.” 1. Cabaret Chorus poses for pictures after their performance. 2. Readers Theater: Improvisation was taught by the actors on the basis of act. look, learn, and improve. 3. The Clowns for the musical.

Students enrolled in these classes were exposed to sev- eral different types of dance including ballet, modern and jazz. Under the instruction of Ms. Bar- bara O’Brien, students learned to move in various shapes and levels and at different energy and time el- ements. Through the funds of Project EN- TICE many dance companies vis- ited Northwood. One of these was Frank Holder and Company. They conducted classes for four days in February, and came back for a per- formance in April. Other performers came from colleges and high schools as well as professional ranks. Students were relieved from aca- demic pressures and had the freedom to express their feelings through dance. They also had the chance to make long-lasting friend- ships. 1.

Two new full time courses, Cre- ative Drama and Creative Dance, were added to Northwood’s curricu- lum. Northwood is unique in that it is the only school in the state that has courses in both arts. The pro- gram’s objectives are to supply courses which increase students opportunities for self-expression. Another objective of the program is to offer cultural arts programs for the student body, that students might not be exposed to. Along with several assemblies, the Dance and Drama students put on several productions of their own. Included in these were the Cabaret, “Dance Macabre” and The Music Man. 1. Sherone Price and Drusilla Goldston pose as love clowns in Cabaret. 2. Diane Harmon portrays a skelton in Dance Macabre. 3. Community and students rehearse The Music Man.' Individuals We were a generation who grew up with Elton John and Stevie Wonder. We witnessed the resignation of a President. We were forced to make a decision between Carolina and State. In our own little world we watched two races slowly begin to break through a barrier built by generations past These events left their mark and made us decide what kind of individuals we would be. Each of us was different, yet we strove to come together for a brief time to make lasting im- pressions and shape events, another step forward. Northwood saddened by Senior’s death When students returned to school Monday morning, No- vember 24, they were shocked and grief-stricken to learn that an automobile accident had claimed the life of Ross Alston, a Senior and member of the Mixed chorus. For several days feelings of uncertainty and disbelief plagued the entire student body. It wasn't until memori- al services that were held in the auditorium were over that students really began to believe he was gone. Much is to be remembered by Ross's death other than the pain of losing him. We must remember to live life to its fullest day by day adding whatever joy to those around us that we can. As school began each class elected officers and planned a year of activities. The Junior class officers were extremely important because they served on the executive committee of the prom. As soon as officers were elected, magazines sales and ring orders took precedence in Juniors' busy lives. For the Sophomores this year 80 Classes was finally their chance to get in- volved in those extra curricular ac- tivities they couldn’t enter as Freshmen. They faced the tedious 1 task of dissecting frogs. A new school and new people seemed to be a big transition for Freshman, but after they began to involve themselves in activities at Northwood they soon began to feel at home. 1. 1975-76 Junior class officers are from left to right: Jean Bryant, corresponding secretary: Daun Conrad, vice-president; Resa Lemons, recording secretary; Karen Watson, treasurer, and Clara Perry, pres- ident. 2.

Class of ’76 smallest yet at NHS “Will all please stand for the senior class?” These words brought a new awareness to the Class of ’76 as they filed into the auditorium on the opening day of school. This awareness, along with antici- pation of the coming year as school lead- ers, was balanced with a realization that they now had increased responsibilities. Four years ago the class had come to Northwood without the typical alienation that most freshmen classes experience, for all classes were new to the three million dollar facility. But the class seemed to bear the brunt of strict stan- dards of discipline set by the new prin- cipal, Mr. Edison Watson, who was deter- mined to set the mold for the school. As sophomores they initiated the exhibition of school spirit as a facet of school life, winning the Spirit Stick at the majority of the year’s pep rallies. Spirit of 76 became a rallying cry which pulled the class together. The class entered its third year diminished in size but not in cooperative spirit; the class raised a record amount of money to finance the Junior-Senior Prom and establish a treasury for the senior year. Characterized by a high level of participation, both in the planning and at- tendance of the Prom, the event was gen- erally agreed to be the most successful yet held at Northwood. Beginning the senior year under the third principal in four years. Seniors felt an added responsibility to be exemplary models for underclassmen. Preparation for graduation began early in the year. Environmental portraits were taken only a few days after the opening of school. By October 1 Seniors had or- dered graduation supplies, caps and gowns, and committed themselves to raising $750 for a color senior section in IMPRINTS. As the year progressed, Seniors faced increasingly the question of “what next?” Should it be college, technical school, marriage, or armed services? Several prepared to go directly to work. Whichev- er road he chose, each Senior left North- wood after twelve years with many dreams that had become reality and many memories to cherish forever.

This time the new principal was Mr. Joe Burke. Mr. Burke, a native of Chatham County, lives in Pitts- boro with his wife, Ann and their two daughters, JoAnn and Frankie. Mr. Bishop Leach, assistant principal and Mr. Gene Brooks, attendance officer both returned for their fourth consecutive year. A new “open door'' policy was adopted at Northwood. Students were welcomed and encouraged to drop by and talk with Mr. Burke or Mr. Leach whenever they had problems. This accounted for the overall friendly and relaxed atmosphere students felt during the year. Mr. Brooks was also proud of NHS students. He was very pleased with the 90% attendance the students maintained during the year. 1. Mr. Leach is pleased with the Christmas gift the faculty gave him — a collage of his favorite things. 2. Mr. Brooks works on attendance sheets in his of- fice. 3. Mr. Burke s special unpaid assistant is his wife Ann. who is always there to lend a helping hand. Administration 119 1st row: P. Markham. C.

B Strowd Service staff proves worth Northwood’s cafeteria workers and Mr. Sparrow put in a full day's work in four hours. They start at seven o’clock and work steadily un- til the three lunch shifts are over. Mr. Sparrow, in charge of cafeteria management, over sees all food preparation, including supple- mentary items such as french fries. Northwood's bus drivers not only take on the responsibility of driving buses, they also must discipline the students they take to and from school. Each day they got up at the crack of dawn, started a cold bus and made their routes. The paychecks they received helped to make up for frozen radiators, muddy roads and rowdy kids. The bus drivers and their supervisors. Mr. Bishop Leach and Mr. Jack Shaner, all cooperated to run smoothly one of the largest bus routes in North Carolina. Keeping Northwood one of the cleanest schools, Mrs. Dorothy Leake, Mrs. Beamon Paige and Mr. Buck Beal faithfully work 180 days. Mrs. Paige and Mrs. Leake clean sixty-six glass doors and clean bathrooms. Mr. Beal repairs minor defects in the lighting. School is not just teachers and students. Without bus drivers, cafe- teria workers and janitors. North- wood's routine would be chaotic. Each has his function which makes Northwood run smoothly. 1. Mr. Shaner and Mr. Leach check records of bus loads to make sure they are correct. 2. William Currie and David Harris leave their parked buses to go to homeroom. 3. Tommy Brewer and Bob Strowd get off the shuttle bus which takes them to and from the elementary school. 4. Attentive students take notes as Mr. Rhodes teaches them bus safety. 5. Mr. Sparrow supervises as the cafeteria workers serve hot lunch to students during fourth period. 6. Mr. Beal gives up many of his holidays to wax halls. 7. Mrs. Paige comes through one of the many doors she cleans. 8. Mrs. Leake takes a break from one of her chores. Service Staff 121 122 Secretaries, guidance Secretaries, counselors, problem solvers for school Ms. Jean Rice and Ms. Sharon Hopper head the guidance office. The most obvious purpose of this department is for counseling students about college, grades, and the accumulation of credits. In addition, it is also used as a referral service for the Public Health Department and the De- partment of Social Services. The school employs three full- time secretaries. Ms. Reba Tor- bert is the executive secretary and Ms. Gail Tyson is in charge of reception in the outer office. Ms. Mary Strowd handles the business of the guidance office. 1. Diane Partin completes special forms, an important part of her job as an office aid. She receives one unit of credit for her office work. 2. Ms. Gail Tyson works to file student schedules m her first year as a school secretary. She is a recent graduate of Northwood. 3. One of Ms. Reba Torbert s varied duties is that of keeping school finances in order. 4. Ms. Jean Rice arranges a hanging planter to complete the decor of her of- fice. 5. Ms. Sharon Hopper gives advise to students on their preparation for college. 6. Completing student transcripts for colleges is a job with which Ms. Mary Strowd assists in the guidance office.

He remarked. “The biggest difference between being a teacher and being principal is the amount of pressure the of- fice of principal involves. I don't wish I was back teaching, but I do miss the daily personal con- tact with the students that just isn't possible now.’’ The students and faculty feel the stability Mr. Burke brings to his job is another step forward for Northwood. 1. Mr. Burke sometimes finds himself trapped in more ways than one. This particular day roof repairmen dumped gravel behind his car. 2. The office of principal often involves a hectic schedule. Mr. Burke interrupts his many duties to make announce- ments. 3. With the help of Chatham County Board of Education member Mr. Warren Stowd. Mr. Burke avidly watches the Lady Chargers take a victo- ry over Hillsborough. 132 Clubs Participation first semester lacked enthusiasm as clubs met once a month with people who claimed to have the same inter- est. But now another year lies behind us. A year of do-nothing organizations, plans and proj- ects that seldom got carried out, discussions that rarely led to action. Sleepy eyes and yawns were the response of many, disap- pointing those few who wanted vaguely to somehow do some- thing. Efforts of the students Activi- ty Committee during second semester to change the length of activity period as well as the number of clubs marked an im- portant step forward for school activities. Student Council plans dances Student Council is composed of two branches, the Executive and the Senate. The Executive Committee is chosen each spring in student elections. Then in the fall, three senators from each class are chosen. The Executive Council for 1975-76 was Llewellyn Thompson, president; Charlene Bouldin, vice president; Kay Clegg, secretary; Resa Lemons, treasurer. Also a member of the Executive Commitee was Wil- liam Bynum who was chosen chairman of the Senate. The Student Council was in charge of the Homecoming Dance, the Twerp Dance and the Sock Hop. They also tallied votes submitted for all elec- tions. All in all it was a rather slow year for the Student Council. The majority of their meetings were spent planning the two major dances which they spon- sored. However, they did their best by serving as the link which joined the voice of the students and the decisions of the administration. They served as another step forward towards a more unified Northwood. 1. Resa Lemmons discusses plans for the Twerp Dance with Student Council advisor. Miss Hopper. 2.

N.H.S. sponsors pancake supper September 30 was a very important date on the calendars of 20 Juniors. For them, induction into the National Honor Society was a surprise. For the Senior members it was a time for building pride because they had maintained a high enough average to remain in the Honor Society for two years. After induction, the officers, Susan Dark, Debbie Sparrow, Jill Bryan and Bob Norwood started making deci- sions as to what the group would do to raise money for two $100 scholar- ships awarded to Seniors. Instead of selling placemats and stationery as in the previous year, the Honor Society sponsored a Pancake Supper in March. Tickets were sold by members of the Honor Society. Helping the Honor Society in its struggle to raise money was Ms. Leslie Williams. She replaced Mrs. Norma Deal as sponsor. Ms. Williams and Mrs. Louise Kidd combined their efforts to aid the group. The Junior members of the Na- tional Honor Society are: Jill Bryan, Teresa Carroll, Daun Conrad. Jen- nifer Cooper, Susan Davis, Deborah French, Diane Harmon, David Harris, Betsy Lasater, Saundra Lassiter, Kim Meachum, Tami Morris, Sheri Mul- ligan, Bob Norwood, Don Partin, Denise Shropshire, Vickie Taylor, Judy Thomas, Tony Thomas and Amy Wagner. 1.

Among these were the Photography, Modern Dance, and Art clubs. The time limit was also shortened from 55 to 30 minutes. Doughnut sales proved suc- cessful for both the International and the F.B.L.A. clubs. F.B.L.A. members visited the American Business and Fashion Institute in Charlotte. Along with the doughnut sale, the International Club planned a dinner for its members. During summer vacation the VICA Club, Vocational and Indus- trial Clubs of America, completed most of the fieldhouse. The Monogram Club consisted only of senior athletes. Preparing for the athletic banquet at the end of the school year was included among their project. Because participation in clubs was only twenty-nine percent, Mrs. Harrell, a member of the Student Activities Committee, took a survey at the beginning of the school year. The object of this survey was to determine which new clubs the students would be most interested in, and therefore increase participation, especially among freshmen. Clubs that were most popular with the students were Kung Fu, Volleyball, Tennis, Ping Pong, and Gymnastics, re- spectively. The top seven clubs were in some way related to phys- ical education. If the student Ac- tivities Committee’s plans are successful, new clubs will be added to the schedule, and the period will be lengthened next year. Clubs 139 Several clubs cut from schedule 140 Clubs 1. Lora Cross and Rene DeVaughn arrange cookies to serve on a visit to the resthome 2.

Clubs 141 Student Communications Committee proposes ideas to administration To bridge the gap between the faculty and the student body, the Student Communications Com- mittee was formed last year. Those who were members last year chose four members from each class, two white and two black. For the sixteen members, Mr. Shaner and Miss Belk served as sponsors. The committee traveled to other schools to obtain ideas for student rights to present to the administration for approval. 1. Four members of the Student Com- munications Committee, along with Miss Belk. prepare to travel to other schools in Chatham County. 2. The Student Communications Committee talks over new ideas at a club meeting. 142 Clubs Advertisements We came to know one another by our needs and their services. They were the patrons and we the consumers, each dependent upon the other to form a profitable relationship, another step forward. We thank them for their ad- vertisements.

Improvements in the curriculum and administration were factors that made it im- portant. The faculty made achievements, notably in the area of accreditation, through its co-operation and diligence. A great enthusiasm in dance and drama, triggered by the work of Project Entice during its first year, increased student self expression and partici- pation in school productions. Each class advanced a step by completing another year of courses. For seniors, this step forward was of more impor- tance for it marked the end of one phase of their lives and the beginning of yet another.
