Now We Are Seniors June 3, 1983 — Few members of the Class of '83 thought graduation night would ever come. We dreamed about walking across the stage clutching our diploma in our hand. Little did we realize that very soon that dream would be reality. We thought there would be time to do everything. But now, as that special night draws closer and closer, time is short. As seniors, we are faced with many questions — Am 1 really going to graduate? Where do 1 apply to college? What if I am not accepted? The list goes on. Our high school days have passed much too quick- ly. Remember when we were freshmen and the Twirp Queen was crowned from our class? Then as juniors we ordered our class rings and, in tradition, gave the Class of '82 their prom. We chose “The Best of Times”, our theme; blue, white, and silver, our col- ors, the band “Staircase”, our entertainment; and May 1, 1982, our night. As the end of our junior year approached, we took our senior environmentals. Spirit was high at Northwood this year. Here seniors are showing their spirit at a football pep rally. The football team had a 7-3 season. They won the homecoming game against West Montgomery in over- time with a score of 18-12. This page — Debbie Jones is escorted by Brian May onto the homecoming court mo- ments before she was crowned queen. Opposite page — Seniors order their invita- tions. cap and gown, and other supplies in the fall in preparation for graduation in the spring. The senior class had a float entry in the homecoming parade that was held at 6:00 Fri- day afternoon. Kim Sturdivant and Connie Bouldin were head cheerleaders this year. They worked hard to promote school spirit, and here they cheer in the homecoming parade. 30 Seniors
