Northwood also looks much different than it did ten years ago. The courtyard had barely been constructed and there were no shrubs or azaleas to brighten it up. In fact, much of the landscaping was still to come. At that time, there was no school sign by the highway, and there was no trophy case in the cafeteria lobby. The greenhouse was under construction and the final touches were being put on the football field. There were no murals such as sailboats or Spanish bullfighters to brighten the walls. The total original cost of construc- tion was slightly under two million, being $14.03 per square foot. Based on today’s estimated cost, the price of construction would be approximately five to six mil- lion dollars. As we go through life we will always see ways in which things and people around us have changed. Northwood has changed a great deal, but in reality the games that students played ten years ago have been passed on down to us. Now, we are the stu- dents of Northwood and it is our turn to play the games. Ten Years Afro 7

N.H.S. Ten Years Ago As you can see by all these pictures, Northwood has undergone some major changes in the past ten years! However, some things have remained the same. Al- though we have had new faculty members from time to time, many of the same teachers are still here. For ex- ample, Mr. Self still explains math as Mr. Shaner and Mr. Horton busily attend a teacher’s meeting. Mr. Leach still has his same cheerful smile and Mr. Kitchings still has the bravery to ride trip after trip with young, new drivers. The principal, ten years ago, was Mr. Earl Wat- son, and the assistant principal was Mr. Gene Brooks. The senior class had 183 members, while the whole stu- dent body was composed of eight hundred. Mr. Henry Hunt directed the band and Mr. Charles Horton directed the chorus. 6 Ten Years Afro

Decked In Design Guys often feel left out when it comes to fashion. However, this is not the case here at Northwood. David Miller sports faded blue jeans, a T-shirt, an army jacket and checkered sneakers for a casual look. Jeff Glosson, a sophomore, prefers a more sophisticated look. Some like them wide. Some like them narrow. And some even like them in between. But, whichever you pre- fer, whether it be wide, narrow, or in between, if you choose a belt, you will definitely be in. Cleat Lindsey and David Hayhurst are decked out in the punk-rock look. 8 Fashions
