, 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

It was Saturday night. What would you guess most NorthWood kids were up to? AC- Cording to a survey, being with That Special Person was the number one choice. What music were they probably listening to? Something by Guns-N-Roses or Chicago. What car would they loved to have been cruising Mish- awaka with? Why, a Porsche, of course! What movie were they going to see? A landslide of kids would have chosen Cocktail. And what were they wearing? Your guess is as good as mine! Wow! There went a good-Iooking chick years tater t . . Student Persp actives wearing a next-to-nothing mini and earrings down to here! And Check out that dude's hair! It must have been at least four dif- ferent colors-and styles! Not eve- ryone was that far-out, though. There went a normaI-looking girl in Guess jeans and an over-size sweater. Whew! This is the life! Now let's zip back to 1969. Kids back then had their own per- sonality and style too. The num- ber one song that year was I Heard it Through the Grapevine by Marvin Gaye. Sound familiar? And how about Surfin' USA by was everyone's dream car, and taking it cruising was the thing to do. Of course, surfing fit in there somewhere too. What movie do you think they took their girls to see? The Love Bug! And guess what those girls were wearing? You guessed it! Mini-skirts! So, you see, though a few de- tails have changed, a student's overall idea of a good time re- mains the same. City streets, fast cars, great clothes, and good mu- sic join in a whirling kaleidoscope of teen-age activity, making these the best years of our lives. Dreaming of the day they can own a car like this, seniors Barb O'Malley and Teresa Sims make- believe for a while in Larry Wagner's Porsche. 78;! .7 31-! . g I . 1981, 77th hair says It all thIS year.
