NorthWood High School students encountered strange-Iooking hallways on the first day of school. The work these men are doing in the new boiler room will be appreciated by warmer students for many years. It's breaktime! One of the workers takes a much- deserved break during the student's passing time. 4 t Opening

The first edition of the Logue was born in 1970. When its eyes opened, it found the Wakarusa and Nappanee school corporations having just completed a merge agreement. The first Logue was published as two separate editions be- cause the Wakarusa and Nappanee High Schools were not yet sharing the NorthWood facilities. One year later, however, the Logue looked on as the first NorthWood graduates stepped out of their new building into an exciting, fast-paced world. During that year, the Logue rolled over and rubbed its eyes, seeking a clearer perspective of its environment. While observing changes and trends, it also recognized traditions. The theme for the 1969 Napanet was Accent on Achievement and Waka Memories used keys to portray the idea that ed- ucation in the key to success. In 1971, the Logue continued to provide an in- spiring outlook by choosing United We erfect Vision Stand as its motto, and utilizing color for the first time. NorthWood drew from its parent schools to develop a formula for suc- cess, adding its own perspective of life to the traditions instilled by the Nap- panee and Wakarusa High Schools. Stu- dents and faculty alike slipped into the new routine without any major crises, and Wa-Nee's educational system thrived. About ten years later a pool and Activity Center were added to NorthWood to better accomodate the expanding needs of its students. Now, in 1989, the Logue celebrates its twentieth birthday. Before blowing out the candles, a wish is always made. Re- flecting back over the years, the Logue sees the good, the bad, the fun, the sad, the triumphs and tragedies, but most of all, the goals strived for and attained. It is our hope that by looking into the past and capturing the present, wisdom will be obtained to anticipate the future. In the north surge, Iessica Hofer blocks out eve- rything else and concentrates on her book during honor study hall. Students entered Nappanee High School for the last time in the spring of 1969. The following year they attended school at NorthWood. Opening T 3

, DWr Where did the ceiling go? Many kids were shocked by the factory-like ap- pearance of NorthWood when they en- tered its halls for the 1988-89 school year. According to summer-time news, the high school was getting a new heat- ing and cooling system, hence the new look. NorthWood graduates from 1970 might have felt as though they had stepped into a time machine if they would have entered the building this year; this was what the ceiling looked like back then also! Though the renovation was begun during the summer, workmen continued to work when school started. Their drill- ing, pounding, Clanging, and the whir- ring of their carts was the cause of some distraction in the classrooms and halls. What's going on? Senior Chris Losee was shocked when he noticed the new look in the south surge. ;1 enovann! It's a nuisance, Mindy Wolf protested. Some students I know have been hurt by tripping over debris left in the hall- way, she pointed out. As Mrs. Yoder said though, the new heating and cool- ing system will certainly be an im- provement over the old one. Hopefully it will provide a more stable environ- ment for NorthWood students. In past years they have had to freeze through days when the heating system did not do its job. They had no idea what the weather would be like at school, and did not know how to dress. Even twenty years after its initial con- struction, NorthWood High School is changing, improving, and adjusting to the needs of the student body. While students are busy in their classes, these work- men take the opportunity to fit some pipes In the hallway. Opening l 5
