Change is very important in life, especially during school years. This year change has become constant at Northwest. Not only are students adjusting to the new facility but to new rules, new classes, and new people. The classes added are not what students are used to. Students were lucky to get the media/photography class because funds were not easily obtained. Appalacian studies was added to allow students to learn about their heritage. Other classes were added for the students. Tor example college prep English IV and word processing were combined. This change allowed students more time at school to finish work. The other class added, Math III, was formed for those people not passing the math part of the proficiency test. This year Northwest has welcomed two new additions, Mr. Tipton, who is now teaching the Math III class and a new vice principal, Mrs. Shelton. Rules have definitely taken on some changes. Students can visit lockers any time, and there are five minutes between class changes. We may also say that students are pampered with phones in every room, a paved park­ ing lot, and a new gym and weight room. The most popular of the new rules is early dismissal. It is now 2:10 instead of 2:50. The lunch options have become quite a hit. Now students may choose what they want and get lunch quicker with shorter lines. Change is usually good, it is important to keep up with things and keep people happy. 5 Jeanie Tackett poses while blood drips from her face. Many stu­ dents dressed up for Halloween.

Students have definitely changed everything, espe­ cially their outward appearances. Everyone has a style and look all their own. hot only have people rummaged through their parents closets and discovered that those bellbottoms they used to make fun of in pictures now look cool (yes cool not groovy), but have also decided that a hoop here and there just seems to accentuate every­ cW: body's style. With a single gold hoop, and a normally unnoticed body part you can draw all kinds of attention to

■ •: yourself, whether it be placed on the bellybutton, an eyebrow (or two), or even between the thumb and fore­ finger. It seems that closets and Goodwill have been perfect places to add things to everyone's wardrobe. With this amazing discovery, who needs new clothing? Just throw on the biggest bellbottoms you can find and platform shoes that add at least five inches to your height. Pierce something but make sure it is something nobody ever looks at and part your hair in the middle. Last and most importantly worship your sunflower and do not wear babydoll dresses above the finger tips, no matter how far up your socks go!

This overall year in sports has been very successful thanks to great playing and the very best of coaching. The Baseball team members were the SOC champs again for the third year in a row. Probably one of the most mem­ orable times in sports happened during the football sea­ son when we beat West on West territory for the first time ever. The swim team which has been about three people in the past had more members than ever before. Two members, Elizabeth and Trish Bruch went to state com­ petition. Golf also had a pretty good year. Bryan Sturgell's golf jersey was retired because of all that he has accom­ plished, including holding the Elks high School record. The basketball, volleyball, soccer, track, and softball teams also showed that they could play with the rest of them. So, as we look back at the year in sports we can say nothing but outstanding.

They had their ups and they had their downs, but one of their biggest victories, by far, was defeating one of their long time rivals, the Wheelersburg Pirates. northwest was the only team in the 50C to beat Wheeler- \ sburg this year. When asked about the season, Deb Charles said "I felt that the team did a great job this year, even though we had a 9-9 season. We played hard and stuck together." The season opened with the defeat of the South Web­ ster Jeeps and closed the season with a gruelling, yet losing match, to the Valley Indians. The season was very productive but there wasn't enough stamina to result in the final record being in northwest's favor. Summing it all up in one quote, Kari Blankenship states, "It was a great experience in which we finished 9-9. We should have done a whole heck of a lot better!"

Flaying hard

Being one of the youngest soccer teams has always been difficult, but this year's Mohawk soccer team came | out even in the end. The team ended the playing season with a 9-9-1 record. "Our inexperience showed, but we kept it together and had a productive season," captain 5cot Isaac explains. The 4-2 season opener loss to 5outh Webster was not a good way to start the season, however, that wasn't any indication of how the team would finish. The next few games were very productive. The team came out on top when they played Valley, Portsmouth, and Mew Boston. The soccer team showed much improvement in the later part of the year, but it was just a little too late to come out on top. "We were a better team than our record showed," said captain Cliff Altman. "Next year we should do good. We have the team, the coach, and me," Mikey Davis jokingly said. Mo matter how good the team does or doesn't do in the future, the 94-95 Mohawk Soccer team will always be something to loach Jenkins and assistant coach Risner carefully watch the players, be proud Of. o they can tell them what they are doing right and wrong at the end of ne half. They never yelled too loudly at the team.

Remember July 6th was the beginning of a historic season for northwest Mohawk's football. This was the start of pre­ conditioning, and when mandatory practice started we had one of the largest groups to turn out in recent years. We ate, drank, and slept football. On August 19th we won our first scrimmage that started a streak of four wins in a row. Those included our first two regular season games, and at this point we were surprising a lot of people. The I next two games were heartbreaking losses, but we boun­ ced back with three wins in a row, and now we had everybody supporting us. When we defeated West, it was the first time since 1972, and the first time we beat them at West. Mow we had a chance to at least tie for the 50C title. Some parents and boosters threw us a tailgate party and a bonfire the night before our big game, but we lost the next two games and were on the verge of not having a winning season. But we won our last game, finishing 6-4 having the 6th winning season in Morthwest history, and we finished 3rd in the 50C. Jason Throckmorton

Competition

"It was a great year", shares coach Dave Frantz. "The boys worked hard and it showed in their efforts through­ out the year. What I liked best was the leadership that the seniors provided. Their work ethics helped the younger members develop into hard workers." Individual events were what the team excelled at. Rob­ ert Young broke the long jump record during the Mohawk invitational, he jumped an unbelievable distance of 20 feet, eight and a half inches. With him and Jason Fer­ guson, Northwest most always placed high in the hurdles events. Even though the team lost some key seniors, and did not proceed to break as many records as in years past, this team looked to be one of the proudest teams at Northwest high School.

Inexperience It was not a really bad season for the Mohawk girls' track team, considering that they had such a small team. "We hoped that we would have had more girls running this year There is always a lot of girls that run in junior high track because that is the only spring sport that the junior high has. Then when they get up here to the high school there is more than one to chose from, so we lose a lot of other girls to other sports.", comments Mrs. Nancy 5cott. They were also a pretty young team, it mostly consisted of underclassmen. "We only had two seniors, so most of the team was pretty young ladies. Since they were such a young group this year, we are looking for good things next year.", says coach Judy 5mith

The daily access to a computer made it much V easier to do Ms. Weavers' 2000 essays and the dreaded senior term paper. There were some other classes created, like the Me­ dia/Photography, French, and Appalachian 5tudies. Ap­ palachian Studies used video equipment, like the Media class, to record some of the beautiful scenery around our area. The Media class produced our own little news seg­ ment called Mohawk Talk, which was a first for the school. In addition, the Spanish classes started a 5panish Club this year.

The students have changed attitudes this year, prob­ ably because of the new variety of things offered to students. Along with the new school building, came cer­ tain extra privileges which made students better about coming to school, different classes were added to give students an opportunity to explore and also demonstrate their creativity. "Mohawk Talk" hosted by Chris Enz in the Media class is a perfect example of the creative things that students can accomplish when given a chance. There were certain other things that also made a dif­ ference to the student body. For example we now have a choice of two lunch lines with snacks and pop available. Though one of the most monumental things done was the paving of the student parking lot, which P.R. Crippen persued diligently. All in all attitudes do change. Some for the better and some for worse. Though just think, Where would our world be without change?

Subject Changed Every year of high school is full of memories. The 1995-96 school year has already set out to be sig­ nificantly different from any other. Block scheduling has been set up and many more new classes have been added. 5ome new classes so specific that it will be a great advantage to students though they do not realize it# and may even help a student pinpoint specific interests that will make college choices easier. Well now another year is over. It is time to say goodbye for about three months, seniors say goodbye forever. Remember to be grateful for our new high school facility and all that it has done to improve your education and do ; not forget the old school and the old ways, because they were a part of us too.
