Panther fans tried to shelter themselves as best they could from the cold winds. There was one group, however, that had to stand out in the midst of gusts of wind and present themselves as the 1975 Homecoming Court of which Diane McCuen reigned. t'Cruisin' along with the fifties was the themethat each class had in mind as they labored on their floats. The efforts of many hard working students paid off as the originalitytaward was given to the freshmen and the best portrayal of theme award was given to the juniors. The evening was topped off by our Panthers defeating Warsaw by a score of 20-3. Afterward, the Homecoming Court as well as many jubilant tans danced to the music of Magi.

The entertainment included a Woody Atlen comedy sketch and three melodramas. The evening was opened by the sketch called HDeath Knocksf' The three humorous, actiompacked melo- dramas that followed included HThe Bad, the Worse and the Broccotif' i HBeautituI Beulah Belle? and uVirtue Triumphantf' Audience participation played an important part in the melodramas. Good-naturedty cheering the hero and booing 0r hissing the villain kept the audience on their toes at ail times. Fresh, stimulating comedy wove a common thread through each of the Iv separate plays.

New and varied talents were diSplayed in this year's program. Solos and duets were an important part of the program. Dorothea Hardt, our German foreign exchange student, exhibited her versatility by singing both a German and an English song. A duet made Up of Rick Arnott and Bob McAndrew and soloist Roger Hochstet- ler performed their own compositions. A barbershop quartet provided the audi- ence with an oid-time favorite. An act entitled HNostalgia took the honors of the night. The act included the song HLittle Darlinm which was sung by Brent Holaway, Lee Hoideman, Ray Miller and Chuck Zerchert A few changes in the lyrics assured a good laugh from everyone. All in all, the evening was a success and one which contributed enthusiasm to the growth of future variety shows.

Congratulations and Best Wishes to the Class of 76 from the Wakarusa Medical Clinic Being Whaf They Really Are The Junior Miss Pageant, which was held on December fifth, was sponsored again this year by the Nappanee and Wakarusa Jaycees. Only five senior girls participated in this event which, accord- ing to them, profited each one who was involved. One girl expressed her feet- ings by saying that HJunior Miss is a bunch of girls getting together and being what they really are. The contestants were judged .on such things as talent, poise and appearance, physical fitness, scholastic ability and a personal interview with the judges. As thett'rnai points were being tallied, each girl had the chance to respond to a spe- cific, impromptu question. Cherri Bontrager was named Miss Congeniality, the talent award went to Dawn Gwin and Kathy Myers was rec- ognized for scholastic achievement. First runner-up was Sherry Weaver and a very surprised, but very happy Sue Lentz was crowned as the 1976 Junior Miss.

With an abundance of excellent American com- positions, both the band and the choir designated one of their concerts as being a ttbicentennialtt concert. The band presented ttAn American Salute on May 15. At this concert, sen- iors were honored and the awaited guest conductor kept the audience in suspense by never showing up. ttAmerica the Beautiful was the title of the spring Choir concert. American music from the revolution to the present was pertormed by the various choirs. A film presentation accompanied the cli- mactic songs that ended the program. For the first time, the Marching band performed in a concert entitled ttHaIf- time Highlights? Held in the auditorium, the Marching band performed many of the songs that they had previously worked very hard to present at the foot- ball games.

Decora- tions were very elaborately done and followed the color scheme of blue, sil- ver and gold. Scenes pictured dreamy places that are often included in the concept of heaven. For the first time, appetizers were served before the rest of the evening got underway. This gave couples a chance to talk to friends and admire new dresses in a more informal atmos- phere. Dinner consisted of roast beef, green beans and a stuffed potato. Descriptive names that followed the theme kept students occupied in a guessing game of what would be included in the meal. After dinner, speeches were made and the Prom King and Queen, Todd Hahn and Jean Sheets, were named. Entertainment included a movie which was entitled ttAloha Bobby and Rose, and a dance with music pro- vided by Sea Dream. During this time, couples could have their pictures taken in the Stairway to Heaven set- ting. The afterprom consisted of bowling, a movie and dancing.

During the basketball season, the Pep Clubs got themselves and the team fired up by their participa- tion in Warm-Ups and in the continuous clapping and yelling that took place until the tip-off of each game was completed. Another evidence of their spirit was their ttstanding support of the basketball players during the sectional game in spite of numerous pleas from the ush- ers. In order to be prepared for the task ahead of them, our Varsity and Junior Varsity Cheerleaders attended the NCA Cheerleading Clinic at the Smith-Wal- bridge Cheerleading Camp. Perfecting old skills and acquiring new ones were included in the activities of the week, Our varsity cheerleaders did a good job by placing ttfirst in all their events.

Eager parents viewed their childls Classes on an abbreviated halt-day schedule. Future teachers assisted parents as they ven- tured throughout the building. Although Swap Day was enjoyed by many, future plans dictate that Swap Day will only take place every two years. A switch day with Fairfield gave FTA members a chance to observe a differ- ent educational system. The modular system gave students more freedom and yet, a number of NorthWood stu- dents felt that this abundance of free- dom was the cause of some unhealthy attitudes. Another FTA function, unknown to many, is the service which is rendered to teachers. Each FTA member acts as an t'elf in doing certain, kind acts for a specific teacher.

Honey Tree Has Complefe AHenfion Much to the surprise of many teach- ers as well as a number of students, complete attention was more than evi- dent at the last convocation of the year. Sponsored by the Student Council, ttHoney Tree sang gospel and folk songs e all of which were her own compositions. The other convocation of the year was presented by General Motors, HPreviews of Progress was designed to make students aware of the advances that are being made in technology. Social work, banking, FBI, and den- tistry were just a few of the many occu- pations that were presented to students by area businessmen on Career Day. The success of Career Day was attrib- uted to our hardworking Student Coun- cil and Mr, Lehman who were responsi- ble for all the organization and planning that took place in preparation for Career Day. Other activities which the Student Council was responsible for included cheerleader elections and the Home- coming and Sweetheart festivities.

FFA members replanted numerous trees in various locations around the school. FFA members proved that they were able salesmen by seliing garden seeds door to door. The total sales from this project reached $2000. Another money making project, the Slave Auction, yielded a profit of $2000 with the high- est selling Hsiave being Sponsor Frank Williams. Members applied their classroom learning by taking part in livestock judg- ing-both on the county and district level. Also, experience was gained by the farming of 40 acres of land. Other FFA activities included attend- ing the State FFA Convention and a Par- ent-Member banquet, RIGHT: Pat Parks, Jerry Eckiebarger and Tim Wit- mer look over the livestock at FFA livestock judg- ing at Argos, Indiana.

Arf Club Painfs Winfer Qoene The Art Club, under the new leader- ship of Miss Hostetler, was involved in a number of different activities thie year. One of their contributions which was enjoyed by many, included the painting of a winter scene on the windows in the LRC. A covered bridge added just the right touch to the already colorful set- ting. Advancing into his second year, Mr. Dick Geyer led a troop of skiers to Mount Wawasee every Wednesday night for a number of weeks. A Ski Club veteran, Dave Flaherty, served as an instructor to the many new members on these outings. Gun Club members acquired new skills this year by shooting targets with high-powered rifles. Several members also practiced by shooting trap in Elk- hart. The Gun Club was under the supervision of Mr. Galbreath. Art Club, Kneeling: Dana Stutzman, Cassy Yoder.

More important than being just a theme, this phrase was characteristic of the FHA attitudes Members participated in a community service project by redecorating a room that was to be used in the operation of Nappaneeis Open Door Society and the American Red Cross. A Halloween party for preschool children and a fondue din- ner for women faculty members kept FHA members busy throughout the year. A Mother's Smorgasbord highlighted the year. Awards were presented at this event and the installation of the 1976- 1977 officers took place. Spanish Club members under the direction of Mr. Abalii, organized a pro- ject that was open to all students. The project included collecting personal goods and items of clothing to send to Guatemalan earthquake victims. Future Homemakers of America, Row 7: Patty Hallt Darlene Keim, Sue Hartman.

The HTub Pack was one of the fun- tiiied highlights of this year's Campus Life activities Other activities included eating from the World's Largest Sun- W , ,zx dae, a pillow fight with Jimtown, and a very enjoyable trip to Florida. The popularity of Campus Life this year was evident when attendance reached a high of about 120 kids. Some people, however, found it a bit difficult to accommodate this many students in their home.

This year there are approximately 130 members. According to the number of hours attributed by a student to his work in Drama, a student can become a Thes- pian. The Thespians are a higher group of achievers in the Drama Club and are good examples of enthused Drama members. If a Thespian is truly excited about drama and the theater and if he has enough points, he is eligible to go on the New York Theater Trip. This year a group of students and Miss Hoover went for a week in June that was spent mostly in theater study with a little sight- seeing on the side. A totai of ten plays were seen during the weeks trip. In preparation for the trip, the students wrote short histories of some of the actors that were to be seen and of some of the plays. While in New York students met and dined with a number of actors. Tours of costume companies were also taken. At the close of the trip, students were expected to write a report on their impressions of the New York Theater.

Giving the musical comedy H1776, the Drama Club commemorated Ameri- ca's bicentennial. The awarded broad- way play was presented in the school auditorium on March 23, 25 and 26. The play covered the period of time from May to July 1776. It was about John Adams struggle to persuade the Continental Congress to declare war with England and the subsequent writ- ing of the Declaration. The play pro- vided a good way for students to review their American history. One very impor- tant point that was brought out in I 7 76 Commemorafes Bicenfennial H1776 was that Americats Founding Fathers were human beings with weak- nesses as well as strengths. With only two female roles it is obvi- ous that there was a larger than usual mate cast. Many of the actors put on superb performances by portraying either egoist, lover, philosopher or rebel. The play was very much enjoyed by both the community and the student body as was evidenced by Friday night's well deserved standing ovation.

Twenty-three new students were chosen by the faculty for membership in this honorary group. Added to the four- teen already existing members, NHS membership totaled thirty-six. In order to raise money to buy the pins and certificates that are given to new NHS members, already existing members sell concessions and usher at Nappanee Civic Theater productions. These pins and certificates were then awarded to new members at an induc- tion service that was held on Sunday, May 16. In the minds of many NHS members, much examination was done in refer- ence to the group. What the NHS really stood for and reasons for its existence were questioned. Questions, however, proved to help strengthen the attitude of the group and give it meaning within the context of the school environment. Assisting the coaches and wrestlers, keeping stat books and scores, col: Iecting tickets and video-taping the matches were just a few of the many tasks of this year's Mat Maids. At the beginning of the year, new outfits were purchased by the Mat Maids with the money that they earned from bake sales and a barbecue. mum r ;4. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY: Front Row: Lloyd Brubaker.

Chess Club Expands Throughout the year the Y-teens have performed various services for people of the community. To brighten the spirits of the elderly at Thanksgiving, favors were made and taken to the local nurs- ing home. A Christmas party was given for area children who were welcomed by Santa Claus as he distributed pres- ents and candy. In the 'tSaturday's Child program, the Y-teens sponsored Children's classes for six weeks. NorthWood stu- dents taught classes that dealt with such things as basketball, cheerleading, sewing and gymnastics. In meets with Goshen and Concord as weil as in their participation in the Indiana High School Regional Chess meets, NorthWood's Chess Club dis- played an expanding program and the promise of much improvement.

New York City, the destination of this year's Travel Club, proved to be a fun as well as educational experience for all who were included. For the first time juniors accompanied seniors on this trip. This was due to the fact that an unusually small number of seniors signed up for the event. Subways were a new experience- especially during the rush hour. The broadway play HShenandoah and the filming of HTo Tell the Truth provided new experiences for many. Taking a Sunday evening stroll down 42nd Street constituted the most thrilling experience of the trip! In spite of lost keys, decreasing finances and pure exhaustion, the trip was a worthwhile experience. in fact, memories of the trip finds students wishing to go back a second time.

Each member was assigned games to work at and it was his responsibility to attend. The Letter- men ended their year with a dinner held in June. Each Monday evening at 6:00 mem- bers of the GAA gathered in the gym to actively participate in a sport. A few of the sports engaged in were badminton, volleyball, basketball, gymnastics and conditioning. To conclude the GAA activities a banquet was held to honor members. TrOphies were given out and Connie Crum was named HAthlete of the Year. GAA, Front: C. Crum. Row 1: J. Snider, M. Skiles, A. Anglemeyer, J. Hall, C. Johnson, S. Lentz, L. Hous- our, S. Forrest, G.

As far as self-deveiopment was concerned, FCA members shared with others in discussions on topics which were picked from the pamphlet entitled HGoaI to Go. The girls' FCA had two major money- making activities this year. One included selling concessions at the NorthWood Wrestling Invitational. Slave Day was the other money-making project in which FCA members were hired by people in the community to do certain odd jobs. The Spring FCA Retreat for both guys and girls proved to be the highpoint of the year. Sharing personal experiences with peers proved to be an enriching experience.

Some called them apathetic when their float, hail decora- tions and general attitude seemed less than was expected of seniors. Maybe, however, they preferred a more relaxed atmosphere. The seniors seemed to see the importance of inward thoughts and feelings. This importance was evident by the changes many students went through even before graduation. It is possible that this ttinner spirit which was evident in many seniors is indeed, what the Spirit of 76 is all about.

Yoder Harold Dean Zent Dreams Are In View Realizing that they only had one more year to go, this year's juniors put in a lot of hard work in order to reach their goals. This was first evident as the Ciass of 77 sold over $14,000 worth of magazines. Top Salesman Starley Bollinger led the way for one of the best campaigns in NorthWoodis history. The juniors showed their overabundance of spirit by building the float that won the i'best portrayal of theme division. The float, which was called iiCream those Tigers, looked like it actually came right out of the '503. The trophy for the best hail decorations during sectional was also won by the juniors. As always, the juniors labored for many hours on preparations for the prom. Class sponsors Miss Hostetler and Mrs. Fales helped in the many decisions that needed to be made in order for the big event to be a success. United States History, PSAT tests and other titraumatic experiences are part of being a junior. Maybe that is why many juniors look forward to being seniors. 64 ABOVE: Class executive counciI,-Row 1: Sandy George, Barb Wenger, Gayle Perry, Gail Martin.

The sophomore year marks the grad- uation of many students to junior varsity squads in athletics. While some sopho- mores were playing B-team basketball, their classmates were selling conces- sions.

This years freshman class seemed to adjust very easily to the new experi- ences that were encountered here at NorthWood. The adjustments that the freshmen willingly made were a source of unity which was the base of future achieve- ments, First on the list, the freshmen illustrated their creativity by winning the award for the most original homecom- ing float. The theme of the float was HJaii House Rock't which was the title of a song made famous by Elvis Presley. Unity or spirit was shown by the freshmen in the area of athletics also. The boys basketball team held a fine record and a volleyball team solely for freshman girls was formed. The profits from popping corn at the basketball games provided a sure sign that the Class of 79 was already look- ing to the next three years. That money is sure to come in handy when consid- ering the financing of future activities. ABOVE: Class Executive Council, Row 1: Pat Parks, Dave Zercher, Jim Sumpter.

Helping, giving, and guiding seemed to be what teaching was all about at NorthWood this year. To be a teacher didnlt simply mean preparing a leo- ture, but working with students to help them achieve their goals. To tell how various teachers helped in ltextrall ways would take pages but a general overview might be beneficial. Coaching, sponsoring clubs, working kyxerAwrM Cooks: JoAhh Clem, Geraldine Fink, Isabelle Rogers, Marilyn Miller, Maxine Wagner, Carol Martin, Nora . Giving . . . on committees, being class sponsors and taking the responsibility of plays and concerts were activities in which almost every teacher was a part. Cooks, janitors and bus drivers were also providing extra services to benefit the students. By fixing favorite foods, driving to special activities and keep- ing things in order, these people showed interest in the students. Janitors: Eldon Yoder, Roger Keiser.

For evidence of this, just ask Kevin Leinbach. Kevin's pre-season running totaled 1500 miles. A distance like that constitutes the real meaning of dedica- tion. The team finished the season with a 14-4 record. Manchester was the only team to defeat our Panthers in confer- ence action. Because of this defeat, our Cross Country team took second place in the conference. Fourth place was captured in the sectional by placing Kevin Leinbach, Dave Charles and Dave Neff. Coach Myers was extremely proud of his seventeen runners and predicted that next year could be NorthWood's most successful year-even though the team will be losing their top two runners. The Most Valuable Runner Award was received by Kevin Leinbach, and Dan Stump was named Honorary Cap- tain. The Most Improved Runner was Dave Neff.

Crown Ending the season with 16 wins and only 3 losses for a fine overall record, NorthWood racketers continued to be a source of pride to a growing number of tennis tans. Seven of those sixteen wins made our tennis team the undisputed conference victors. A loss to Eikhart Memorial in the Sectional Semi-finais served to end the season for our tennis players. Coach Campbell was very pleased with the performance of his top four players-Terry Kuczeruk, Dave John- son, Todd Clem and Dave Flaherty. Only 2 of these players, Johnson and Clem, were seniors. The Number One Player Trophy went to Terry Kuczeruk while Todd Clem won the most single i matches.

Highlighting the year was the win over Whitko in the championship game of the Christmas Holiday Tournament, although exciting victories over Penn, Plymouth, Wawasee, and Manchester were also cheered by enthusiastic Panther crowds. The team was led by some very fine seniors. Todd Sheets, Blain Heckaman, Randy Loucks, Kim Clouse, and Bruce Umbaugh all occupied key positions for Coach Dan Gunn in his first year at NorthWood. Individual accomplishments were met by MVP Todd Sheets as he scored over 1,000 points in his career as a Panther. Blain Heckaman broke Todd's season scoring record by tallying 364 points in a very fine senior year. Randy Loucks set another season record by hitting 25 consecutive free throws. Randy was also the recipient of the Mental Attitude Award.

Instead of having both General and College Prep Biology classes this year, both classes were funneled into one. A new course, Basic Biology, was then added to the science curriculum to help those students who have problems in science. .NorthWood science teachers this year realized the need for a more practi- cal knowledge of science on the part of the students. Because of this need, more labs were added to the Physical Science class.

Learning to read maps, planning vacations, writing letters and playing the stock market were just a few of the many things learned Bowling, football and moveup were games that the beginning typists partici- pated in to help sharpen their newly- acquired typing skills. Second year typ- ists learned how to type various reports, purchase orders, and general forms used in company management. New Languages Prove Inferesfing Aside from learning how to speak and understand Spanish, the students in the northeast end of the building were con- stantly thinking of ways to have fun while learning. In the Spanish lli class, students brought in such games as Life, Clue, and Password. All communication that dealt with these games was limited to the Spanish language, Class members came to further appreciate the Spanish culture by the preparation of several Spanish foods. in German, various field trips were taken to help students became more acquainted with the language. Mr. Brugger's former teacher, Professor Harrift, scheduled a discussion time for the fourth year students. Aiso, a trip was made to the Chicago Art Institute to look at German paintings from the Romantic period. Studying German poems, plays and other literature also helped students to acquire their second language. TOP: Second year Spanish students busily complete a translation assignment.

Tournamenfs Held To Qpark Inferesf In PE in physical education classes at North- Wood this year, many new SKiiIs were learned. Freshman students were required to take a year-iong general course which included such things as basketball, gymnastics, tennis, football and softball. In some of the girls classes, tournaments in badminton and basketbali were held in order to spark interest in the physical education pro- gram. Physical education classes for freshmen were also very important in acting as a stimulus for conversation with new acquaintances. Because of the necessity of getting to know team members as well as opponents, fresh- men from both Nappanee and Waka- rusa were soon planning strategies like TOP CENTER: Keeping one's eye on the ball is not always easy in Frosh.

Sophomores, juniors and seniors had the chance to specifically choose nine- week courses in areas that they were interested in. Courses ranged from bowling to conditioning to officiating to tennis to badminton and archery. Physical Education has meant many things to different people this past year. The feel of dirt as a slide to first is com- pleted, the joy of a first strike, the frus- tration of the art of shooting a free throw and the dread of going out in 30 degree weather were all a part of the feelings of many. Because of, and in spite of these feelings, physical education this past year played a meaningful part in the daily ro utine of many students.

The movie was a monologue about Harry Tru- mants term as president. Because this was our bicentennial year, many special teievision programs, pam- phlets, and movies aided students in learn- ing about Americats past. Psychology students studied instrumen- tal learning through the use of finger mazes. In dealing with an understanding of the individual, students read the books entitled Man's Search for Meaning and I'm OK-You're OK. Civics, a freshman required course, dealt with the functions of American gov- ernment. This year, two Civics classes staged mock trials in order to incorporate learned terms. Building a home and buying make-believe stock were some of the activ- ities that Senior Economics students par- ticipated in during their last weeks of school.

New Choir Program Successful This year, a completely new choir program was set up. In an effort to encourage enthusiasm, pride and hard work as well as to provide a better learn- ing environment with people of the same capabilities grouped together, four separate choirs were formed on the FRESHMAN GIRLS' CHOIR President: Diane Royer V.

Other choirs included the Boys' Choir, the Girls' Glee Club and the Mixed Choir. At first this system met with much crit- icism from the students. They didn't feel GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Treasurer: Susie Eilers Librarian: Malinda Miller Wardrobe: Ronda Dallas President: Cherri Bontrager V.

The first major job was to complete the baseball dugouts. This job included painting posts, installing shelves, and staining. During the last two weeks of school, the class was fur- ther chalienged as they constructed a 24i x 30' addition on a private resi- dence. The fioor was formed, walls erected, trusses built and the addition was enclosed. The finished job pro- duced a feeling of satisfaction in many. The addition of another nine-weeks photography class helped students learn the processes of the camera, and some pointers on film types were given. Photography students were often seen trying out their new skills by catching their classmates in unusual poses. ABOVE: in Graphic Arts, D.

Students also had the chance to plan a wedding. A florist, a cake decora- tor and a minister were among those who spoke to students concerning deci- sions that need to be made in prepara- tion for a wedding. The Creative Clothing class worked mainly with stretch-and-sew-knits-a new experience for many. The art of making bound buttonholes was also mastered by students in this class.

A new class, English Language I, was added to the requirements for Sopho- mores this year. The class is basically the study of the structure of the English Language. This year's Advanced Speech class was full of creative thinkers. Freedom to present their speech in almost any way they liked had some hilarious results. In one speech John Metzler posed as a reporter doing an interview with itAwful Knawtul alias Brian Sholly just before his attempt to jump Michigan. Tragic View had to be the most talked about class in the English department. With numerous papers to be written and books and plays to be read, students were kept more than busy. Most did admit, however, that much had been learned. Some of the films that were seen in the English Department this year were Midsummer's Night DreamJ' ttThe Light in the Forest, ttLord of the Flies and Ten Little Indians.

A slow recovery plagued the bus although it was fixed by the time it was needed to bring the stu- dents on their journey home. The process of making jewelry was something of increasing interest to many art students. Soldering and fabri- cating were completely new techniques that the students took part in.

Such things as crop, livestock and dairy production are studied. Also, types of soil, tractor maintenance and farm man- agement were covered in various classes.

Nationai Education Week was cele- brated on October 2931 at the Pierre Moran Mall by Career Center students. The various Career Center programs were displayed for community reaction. The Career Center also participated in the Vocational Industrial Clubs of Amer- ica contest. The contest which was held at Michigan City Rogers gave Career Center students the opportunity to com- pete with other vocational centers. The contest was judged on ability, knowl- edge, poise, and a demonstration of speech. Besides being a place for vocatonal education, Career Center students rec- ognized the Career Center as being a place where other students were met and new friendships were formed.

ambition of most people to leave some footprints on the sands of time. We can name many great ones whose fame shall endure as long as man remains on this planet, for their lives have contributed much to the benefit of their felloyvmen. There are others whose footprints are there but have left only a dark pattern on the memory of mankind by an influence that was not a bene- fit but a blight. We can't all be great and famous, but all of us can use what time and talents we have in the best way we can to help others and make them happy. This is to leave shining foot- prints for someone to follow. 175 176 Commencemenf Finally Arrives The end of the year had finally arrived as 2., seniors returned to the school for the last f it .. time. May 23, 1976 was the anticipated date on which the baccalaureate com- mencement was held. When the time came, however, many students had trou- ble accepting that fact and apprehension on the part of many was the result. The twelve years of formal schooling had gone by quickly and some students wanted to shun the new responsibilities which they nowfaced. Dr. Dean Berkley addressed the Class of 76 on the subject of llDigitalitisJ' He explained that on a digital clock, a person cant see where the hands have been or where they are going. One can only see where they are right now. Dr. Berkley emphasized that the seniors, in order to have a clear picture of life must take the past, present and future into the consider- ation of every decision. In reflection of their feelings, the class chose the following as their mottwtlThe memories of our past will not fade, but will shine on to form our future? The class flower was the rose and the bicentennial was commemorated with the selection of red, white and blue as class colors.

Hav- ing never even been in the yearbook room before, there was obviously a lot to be learned. Much of this learning took place in a week-long seminar held in San Angelo, Texas. Traveling for 25 straight hours in a van of twelve people from various parts of Indiana proved to be quite an experience. At the seminar, NorthWood received an ttHonorable Mention'l for the requirements of 48 pages due in less than four days. Selling ads, drawing layouts, writing copy and captions and cropping pic- RIGHT: By using the scaleograph, Elaine Klotz fits pictures into her previously drawn layout, ABOVE: LeeAnn Housour and Cheryl Wagner find munching on corn Chips helpjs to ease their task of selecting pictures for the aca- demic section. CENTER: Sports editor Cindy Gunman concentrates on drawing another of the numerous layouts needed for the sports section tures were new experiences for year- book staff members. Yearbook jibe con- sisted of many new words such as pics, pica, signature, spread, flat and gutter. Getting pictures back from the studio proved exciting as all staff members crowded around to see their friends in awkward poses. Putting the yearbook together was a big job for all who were involved. This year, unlike previous years, the task of putting the book together did not fall on only a few people. All staff members worked hard and had certain obliga- tions that they were responsible for ful- filling. In this picture, Mr. Troyer catches the Yearbook Staff unaware. Members are, Front Row: Lynette Pers- ing. Cheryl Wagner, Elaine Klotz, and LeeAnn Housour. Second Row: Kris Stull, Sue Mattern, Cindy Gunman, Karen Cleveland, Mark Drudge, Jerry Begly, Bonita Bontrager, Gail Schrock, Glen Anglemyer and Tammy Freedi Y TOP LEFT: Writing a caption for each of the pic- tures selected is a very difficult job and one that takes a lot of time as Sue Mattern will testify.

ABOVE: Bonita Bontrager hurriedly explains what pictures need to be taken before the end of the week to photographer Glen Angtemyer. 179 a 4m uwmumkaEAma n . .mvnwmh amvsemm. nsWUWMW . 1, $ Ml?! 5i 5:5 . 1141': . ,4; 1 $2,455,? 5 . , - kav I, , , .5373 iisl: lily Q! :1 1 :1 : Lam: :mmmwmwmmmmm a .. ,. Iltkukv! V 7x i Often people say that 'tliving is learn- i ing. This year we have seen how very true that can be. The new experiences i that have been ours this year have cer- i tainly taught both of us a lot. We found i leadership among our peers as being a i very hard thing to assert. We also found i it difficult to stand up to adults with l l which we came in contact. Much learn- l r ing was done in these various relation- l y shipsthroughthetrial and error process l a but we feel that these experiences have 1 I taught us pretty valuable lessons. 1 t We very definitely owe thanks to i i many people. First and most important E of all, we owe a huge thanks to our staff. This year the Logue was everybody's responsibility and not just the editor's. At this time we would like to thank them specifically-Glen Anglemyer and Mark Drudge, photographers; Cindy Gutt- man, Sports; Kris Stull and Sue Mattern, Album and Academic stories; LeeAnn Housour, Elaine Klotz and Cheryl Wag- ner, Ads and Academic layouts and captions; Jerry Begly, odd job handler; Karen Cleveland, typist; and Lynette Persing and Gail Schrock, Activities. We would also like to thank Mr. Troyer for his support and help. Our thanks also go to Mr. Lelle, Mr. Wesolek, the faculty, coaches, club sponsors, and the stu- dent body. Many students have helped to shape the yearbook through their reports on various classes or activities. Also, this year there were a number of students who wrote articles for the book which are very much appreciated. Stu- dents also worked on the Index and many of our hours were saved by their willingness to help. Thanks for our cre- ative cover go to Julie Herrli who spent many hours of hard work on it. Lastly, we would like to thank our families for their support throughout the past year. Often they gave up things in order for us to fulfill our responsibilities. We know that the book we have put together is tar from perfect. Mistakes have been made and we hope they can be forgiven. We sincerely hope, also, that this book will have meaning for each of you. We have tried to make it a book that will be full of the memories of our high school lives together. Thanks to all for a wonderful year!
