Academic rally becoming tradition Lasers, cheers honor top Northridge students No matter what your past has hem, the future is spotless -- Jonathan Cope By KAYE VOLK Standard-Examine- r correspondent - Not every high school LAYTON lengths Northridge does the academic achievements of its students. Known as the annual Academic Pep Rally, it has become something of a nice tradition here, said Principal Michael Duckworth. He was impressed with the preparations and the work that went into the event last Friday in the school audito- rium. This is my first year here, Duckworth said. The students were good in giving the credit and respect that was due. This year the assembly was moved into the auditorium and presented twice, with half the school in attendance at each. The move gave organizers a greater degree of control and the use of the many special effects that have become an anticipated part ' of the high-enerrally. Set with a backdrop of high flames, created with red lights and specially designed filters, the introductions were made by student-bod- y president Janica Southwick and for the assembly. 20-fo- ot co-ho- st fellow senior Josh Blackweldcr. The audience rose to their feet as the schools ROTC presented and posted the national and state flags. Accompanying this, members of the faculty, including the entire teaching staff from the adjoining LDS seminary, took the stage and amidst cheers from their students, the choir sang the National Anthem. We just sent out an through to the teachers and got such a great response, said Connee Garrett, faculty member and Renaissance Chairperson, who oversees the yearly assembly. They sound so good. Garrett, who was assisted by teachers aide and senior Spencer Terry, gives Terry most of the credit for the assemblys success. Terry raised, through business donations, more than $800 for the event. Weve appreciated all the support thats been given, she said. . After a brief introduction of invited dignitaries, the program, with mechanically orchestrated music, brought out a few of the 56 students who had improved their grade point average one point or higher during the year. Once again, the audience rose to their feet in applause and then cheered as the Garth Brooks music video, Standing Outside the Fire, was projected, filling the large white brick wall near the stage. With a message that conveyed the idea of life being more than standing outside the circle of progress, merely watching as others advance and achieve, the video offered encouragement for those currently struggling to do better. At the conclusion of the video, Southwick introduced South Weber Mayor Bill Petty who in turn told of the Northridge student and South Weber resident who had gone further than anyone else at the school in improving his GPA. With an increase of 3.85, senior Jonathan Cope stepped forward to accept the glass trophy and a standing ovation from the students. Cope, whose determination to improve himself had been aided and encouraged by many of his peers, paid a special tribute to school administrator Senior Bernardo Vil-las someone who was especially influenar tial. Hes my friend, Cope said, speaking assemblies. Mr Villar just between wouldnt give up on me. Before, I just didnt care, but I came to realize that I would need to go to college in order to make it. Cope insists on looking forward and not back and has a bit of advice for anyone wanting to do as hes done in turning themselves around. No matter what your past has been, he said, the future is spotless. In addition to the honor paid the 56 who improved their GPAs one full grade, the PTSA, lead by president Jacquelin Ralphs, sponsored and had made 450 beaded necklaces for those students who took on and met the recent academic challenge offered by Clearfield High School. The necklaces, strung on a length of maroon leather, with three white beads baring the letters, N.H.S., could be seen throughout the audience and symbolized the students who were trying to improve, or in the case of the 4.0 students, keeping up their grades. We were thinking wed have about 200 to 250 necklaces to make, Ralphs said. But then we found out that more than 450 students had met the, challenge... we were so excited.
