Dim lighting, dancing couples clothed in complimentary colors, live and recorded music, and an aura of excitement filled Walb Hall, Sat- urday May 18, when Northrop ' s 1985 Junior-Senior Prom finally ar- rived. The lUPU ballroom was filled, from nine to twelve p.m., with over 200 excited couples, whose months of worrying and waiting were final- ly over. The theme for the evening Tonight I Celebrate My Love For You, was not out of place, as this year ' s Prom queen, Angie Balser, began the queen ' s dance. Her court, consisting of Laurie Bordner, Tammy Butts, Beth Bohn and Shanta Springer, along with the re- maining Bruins and guests gradual- ly joined Angie and her date, Mike Phillips on the dance floor. One way to remember the evening will be through pictures. If one pic- ture is worth a thousand words, the pictures and memories will last for- ever as Watters Studio snapped shots of the evening ' s couples. Sophomore Deanna Lee, and her escort senior Trevor Chobot are just one couple who will never forget their night. We both thought that the evening was just fantastic. It was the most exciting night of my life. by Cathy Farrell 26 Prom

A Class With Class Hits Real World On a warm Sunday evening, June 2, 1985 to be exact, the Allen County Memorial Coliseum was buzzing with excitement. The Northrop concert bands, un- der the direction of Mr. Kevin Klee, played the classic march, Pomp and Circumstance and parents whispered with excited recognition as they found their son or daughter among the 518 Northrop graduates- to-be as they filed into the main are- na of the Cohseum. Following addresses by graduates Lalibela Demeke and Marce Dybiec, the diplomas were presented. When Richard Zoltek, the final graduate of 1985, received his sheepskin, Patty Fagan, the salutatorian of the class of 1985, dehvered the benediction. This was followed by the Northrop Alma Mater which was led by Gloria Diaz, Amy Johnson, and Tracy Ma- ple. When the last sounds of the alma mater had faded away, the class of 1985 exited the Coliseum to join family and friends outside in the warm evening air. 28 Graduation
