Art club planning unique centerpiece for school
By: Trevor White
NORTHRIDGE - Here in the near future we will see a very large improvement to our school property. The art club has started to layout and plan a sculpture garden for the school. The project is a long term, ongoing project that still has much time before it will be complete. The goal of the garden is to create a unique centerpiece for the Northridge community. It will feature large scale sculptures designed by students. It will consist of native plants, small bushes, and small trees.
The sculpture class will be in charge of creating the art along with collaborations from professional artists and other grades. The Intro to 3D Design class will be in charge of creating the layout for the garden. The Science Department and FFA will be the head of creating a natural space for the garden. The art club will be assisted by the FFA and Science Department in taking care of the garden.
Eleventh grader McKenzie Messer had this to say about the garden, “I think it will bring a new atmosphere and life to the Northridge campus and I am very excited.” Art teacher Mr. Andrew Kirtland has very high hopes and is looking forward to the success of the project and how it will improve our school.

King household gains new member
By: Gabrielle Evans NORTHRIDGE- A new member joined the King family on October 3, 2013 at 4:39 p.m. at the Licking Memorial Hospital. Mr. Tyler king became a first time father to Clara Elizabeth King, born at 8 pounds, 5 ounces and 21 inches. King is the Northridge Music director of 5 years. The King's have two cats and a dog at home also. King said, "At first they weren't sure what to think, but now they seem to be adjusting pretty well and ignore her now, other than to come over and sniff every once in a while." |
Her name was chosen because they liked it and they didn't know many people with that name. "There wasn't anyone in our family she was named after," said King. "We did not really want to name her anything non-traditional or really trendy."
Life around the house has changed for the Kings. "It is very different with the new addition. It was most difficult for our pets, who are still needing some time to adjust to the crying." As of right now Clara is sleeping pretty well "once we get her to sleep, which can be a chore" says King. As of right now the Kings don't have any set plans for anymore children. "Not that we won't in the future, but we want to see how the first one goes!" says King. |
King says "It's very strange not being at school right now. Actually, I think this is the first time in my life since starting school that I haven't been in school this time of year! Hopefully I can keep up with what's happening along the way! I do miss the students but have gotten to see many of them when coming in for marching band stuff."
Amelia Kyle ('15) says "It is a lot more chaotic with out Mr. King around, but he tries to make to as many matching band things as he can." His students as a whole say they can’t wait to have him back but are happy about his healthy baby girl. Gabrielle Evans ('15) is a Sports Extras editor for The Viking Vault. |
Marching band to state finals
By: Katie Pileski
NEWARK HIGH SCHOOL - This past Saturday, our Northridge Marching Band made school history by qualifying for OMEA State Finals. The band kicked off their season by putting their entire show "Dare to Dream" on the field at their band camp. This head start boosted them to success in the later season. The first competition at Licking Heights proved that they were in a good spot for the rest of the season, a trend that would carry them just three points away from qualifying at their next two competitions at Riverview and Licking Valley. Then, on the 26th of October, the band went to the Newark Band Invitational. With their selections of "Brahm's Lullaby," "Mr. Sandman," "Enter Sandman," "A Dream is a Wish," and "Dream On," the band performed at a high level, but they had to wait to celebrate, because they had to head to their next competition at Tri-Valley. Unbeknownst to the band, they had earned a superior rating at Newark. Their director, Mr. Tyler King, kept the news a secret until after their performance at Tri-Valley. When he finally told the band of their fantastic accomplishment, cries of joy and tears of happiness were shared; no band from Northridge had ever done what they had just done. That day, the band won second in combined class B/C (divisions) out of six bands at Newark, and best percussion and first place at Tri-Valley out of five bands in their class, while qualifying for states as well. This Saturday, November 2, the band will compete at OMEA State Finals at Hilliard Bradley, and will perform at 10:30 a.m. As one out of only 12 Class C bands in the state, they will perform for a rating by the most difficult judges in the state. Through everything, all if the practices at 6:30 in the morning through snow and rain, through tears, and hard work, the band persevered and succeeded in making school history.
