They raise each of us a certain way, therefore, that makes each individual different, The way we are unique makes us want to lead a different direction in life. They change our directions by the decisions they make, Some of the decisions may be: they decide to move to a new neighborhood therefore making you change friendsg they decide to have another child therefore making you more responsible, they deciae to get a divorce therefore makzrzg you confused. All of these decisions make our lives different, forcing us to change in direction. Our friends have much to do with which direction we take in spending our time, We may like to do a certain thing, but our friends think it as uncool so we do what they think is cool by doing this we change our direction for them, so we fit in, We all are guilty of this action of wanting to be liked but we should go in the directions we want to lead and just be ourselves, Our community changes our lifestyles in all kinds of ways, For example, with all the automobile plants laying off workers it is leading the majority ofthe fhmilies at PNHS in the direction of unemployment, Also by the building of the Stadium our community has become an attraction throughout the United States, it has also made the direction of our taxes go upward, There are also minor changes that occur, but may they be major or mmor they make some impression on the directions in our lives, Our school has changed our directions in many ways, With our school being desegrated it has made the students here less prejudice, with the mm y activities that our school has to offer it has made more students involved and active, and with the leadership that our administrators have given us has put many of our lives in the right direction, With all the changes in the World how can it not affect us? For example, when Reagan went into office much of our world affairs changed in directionp some of us thought he would change them for the good but some thought for the worse. But whatever happened, good or bad, it affected us in some way, Other aspects that affect us are the deaths of famous people, the laws of mother nature and her destructive forces, and the rise of the economy, These are onbz a few of the happenings in the world. With all the changes that affect us, many of them have already or will have happened in our 1980-1981 stay at PNHS. With the help of the other members of the Avalanche Staff we will try and show you some of the changes in direction of 1981, With what we will present to you, we hope the next Change in Direction you take, is the greatest .l Change in Direction w !' if V, ... ,,,,,,, , ww :f A . -ze lite: 14 at-5 eg ',, . .LY ' VE' -. 1? it A, , gf A Af V,-V, Mt, . .

Sonic of thc pictures on the right ina-1' not look familiar to us because our direction in lijc has changed and we know things to bc a atyyerotr wav. I know we'1'e all said one ofthcsc stateinents at least once in our lijctitne, You tnean people realll' dressed like THA T! or people reallv drove those things. ', But in those davs that was the directionyou took to be in the in crowd, How nzany of us renzenzber the good ole days eating lunch, in a lunchroonz at Pontiac Northern? This was one change in direction our school had to sacrifice when it was rebuilt. Then, how many of us have attended a coinnzencenzent ceremony in the Gvnt at Pontiac Northern? This is something that was sacrificed when the student bodm' became H10 large. Then there 's McDonalds where at least 952 of us have or will have skipped to at least once in our 4 years at PNHS. But at least now we are able to sit cotnjitrtablv inside and not all cramped up in a car with 7 people. These are just some of tlze few changes the people, the cominunitv, and the school, have went through in the last 10-15 years. Just think wlzat our children will say when thev see the change in direction in the NEXT 10-15 years, .I ar Y-v gpm , 4 f 1 , A'-o Fifi A , Y, ,-ff' L4 ff ,- 'a,4aQ , J- .

The reason for this is because Student Life is just what it says, the Life ofa Student. Ask anyone, young or old, about the life ofa teenager and they probably will say it's something that cannot be described because of its ever changing moods. One minute we may be On the WYE? Of having the biggest heartbreak ever and then a beau tijizl gzrl or handsome walks by and our heart is all mended. Then there are our friends 870' that one minute we resent and the next we are out having agreat time with, forgetting about all resentmen ts. Then there 's our parents who we hate for making us do something, but deep down we know lt s only for our own good. There are many directions our 1 g teenager. There may be some good directions or there may be some bad but that 's one of the greatest parts of growing up, expenmenttng both the good and the bad, but also learning from them. Maybe that's what our teen years are for, learning from the good and the bad, but . . . d I also being crazy and not having the responsibilities of being an a u t YET! I'ves o through when we are a Remember the days of rnini-skirts and butches? Styles sure have changed since then, havent they? Altlzouglz styles have changed inztnenselv since we were in elementary, our own kind of style remains, Somewhere down the line, we each decided what our own direction is going to be. Some chose the direction of the conservative dressersq others chose the direction of the jazzy, showy type clothes, and still some clzose the direction of the sophisticated, classy look. Some people even mir tlze categories, Whatever your choice was - chances are it will still be that 50 years from now, That doesn 't mean that when you are older, you 'r not going to be dressed in style , it just means that everytime a new fad comes in, your not going to run Olll and buy it. Your going to know what you re comfortable in, and that's what you 'll wear. 1t's the direction you chose when you were in High School and got that first job and were able to buy the clothes you wanted. What is everyone wearing as the decade begins? Well, do you remember the good ole days of 310 blue jeans? Well now blue jeans range anywhere from 315-845 l Baggy pants were a favorite, just like last year. Cashfnere and angora are popular materials. Purple Ls a favorite color, also bright oranges, greens, and pinks, Skinny ties ana' button down shirts, Designer socks and sweatsuits, Designer everything was in this year, And what shoes were in?

The reasons for the changes are many: like last year, the unforgettable year, when all sports activities were cancelled because of no funds, also there are sometimes not enough students that want to participate, or there are enough students and then there 's no coach, all of these are contributors to the many changes in our sports department, The fading of old sports to the new :md more challenging sports, Although there are many changes, there are a few directions that have never changed. One of them is the leadership of our hardworking and dedicated coaches. Another one is the abilities, ambition, strength and the teamwork that the students own. And last, but not least is the way our teams, even after they lose, get up and try again, to show us that one direction will never change and that is that they are number one! es remain 0. 1 By TOM KOWAISKI it is the niet showing ln me pon mis GTheOaklandPress season for Clarkston, which was the Pontiac Northem must like being No. 1 in Oakland County.

' X , rj The Freshmen here at PNHS have just gone through one of the biggest changes in direction that they will experience in their teen years. This change is coming from Junior High, where they were at the top, to High School, where they are now starting from the bottom once again, The changes they took were many: they were faced with alot more freedom but also alot more responsibilities, they had to learn their way around this big complicated school, a bigger variety of people to get acquainted with, more activities to be involved in, and a whole new world to adjust to. There may be times when High School seems tough, but like many of our elders' say Its only the beginning Well being a freshman is the beginning of the many changes in direction that you will face throughout your stay at Pontiac Northern. If you make it through your Freshman year, you can say We 've only just begun! Ei Would ou believe the Devil made me do it? Well Tim, mavbe l1e'll believe you this time, but next time Mr. Felt is the Qlll grade principal and doing quite well. Although the overall student body knows lzim, the elass of '84 really knows him. He 's a man who is young enough to still understand a teenagers problems, yet old enough to give good advice. We had our doubts with him lbeing from Central and alll but he earned his keep and can trulv be called a Huskie. fi ll ll it 1. f i m if ffl N, ' uw' Bannister, Robin Barge, Renita Barker, Camel Beane, Dana Bell, Keith Bellamy, Jocelyo Belote, Steve Bercant, Annie Bercant,Carolyn A , .

Being a Sophomore is one of the greatest years, The reason for this is because your no longer a freshmen and you now know all the ropes of being in High School. Also you don 't have the responsibilities of being a Junior or Senior, It 's a carefree year when your really beginning to be a 'TIuskie'i There aren't many changes in direction that you take when your a Sophomore. The most significant part of being a Sophomore is getting a class ring. Deciding on what kind of ring you want. Then the big citrv when you finally get them and everyone is comparing rings, This is only one of the many exciting moments we will cherish as a Sophomore and in the future as being the good ole days at Pontiac Northern. 1-P' J , . 4, 1425!

The majority also have another new responsibility, having a job. Whether it be working at McDonalds, EWWGF Jacks, the school, or a co-op fob, it's something new. This is one of the few things we experiment with and leam from our teen years. Having a fob, brings another responsibility, money. We have to learn how to manage it, whether it be saving it or just going ou t and spending it. Wi' 1 Wil X All these changes in direction usually come when we are Juniors. There are alot more changes that come along, but it's all new, exciting and part of growing up at PNHS v .

No, l'm afraid we didn't insert teeth, The Junior Class float didn't take a tirst, not even a second, but it was a lot of fun to put together, lt was sort of a last minute deal. We hurried, and laughed, and laughed, and hurried. Overall the Junior class thinks that it is a No. 1 achievement, even ifit did happen to fall apart on the way to the stadium.

Thev give each student at Pontiac Northern a chance to be active in some interest they have. Whether it be music, acting, math, foreign language, or just about anything else your interested in. Without Organizations there wouldn 't be cheerleaders to get us in the spirit at the sports activities, the Yearbook staff to provide us with the memories of our school days, or the memory of getting a rose from that one special guy: provided by tlze help of the National Honor Society. There have been many Organizations come and go at Pontiac Northem. The reason for this is because the change in direction that the students take. They lose interest in some and gain more interest in others, making some fade away and others become more popular. This is what makes the change in direction for many Organizations. J Bowling is Right Up Uur Alle 4? 51 'I he Bowling Club is one of the most exciting clubs at Northern. This club meets on Tuesdays after school at 300 Bowl where they bowl for fun and compete against other individual teams.

Teachers are faced with the student's ever changing moods and attitudes toward school Knot to mention our ever changing of gradesj. Teachers, counselors, and administrators are forced also to change to our friends when we come to them in the need of help, Change is a hard task to do, therefore, we should be very thankful to all contributors who help in this task. Administrators also have other changes in direction that they face. The majority of them have a family and have many responsibilities to their families not only to their job, they have the decisions of working under the circumstances of no pay days such as last year, they also have the fears of being pinked slipped because of the lack of funds, and they also have many more changes that occur, but we never see.

The one big change is graduating, After graduation your life has a new meaning, you 're now out there in the adult world and having to start a life of your own, faces you. To some of us it may be a challenge, but to many it's a fear. No matter what direction you decide to take, may it be college, marriage, a job, military, or whatever, you are now choosing it for yourself not for your friends, parents, teachers, or girlfriendfboyfriend, it's what you want and what your going to live with. This may be one ofthe biggest changes in direction you will ever take because it's the beginning of adulthood and the many responsibilities it pretains and that's what many of us fear, No matter what we choose, we will always have the memories, good and bad, of the directions we took here at PNHS. f.f-,,,- - - i i Aren at we smart We here at Northern are very proud ot' six of our Seniors. Only twice in 22 years has there been more than one vuledietorizm. This year six of our students are up for this honor. They all have hud straight A's on their report cards all through high school.
