Well, some Northrop students got that small brush with fame that we all have dreamed of. These students were performers in Mor- throp ' s annual talent show, Etc. ' 88. The show, which greatly displayed Northrop talent, played February 17 and 18 in the auditorium. Auditions were open to the entire stu- dent body, but most of the performers were in the music department. Many of the performers were in multiple acts, a further indication of the fine talent we have at Northrop. Performers were generally pleased with their show. Junior Cheryl Stone said, there was a variety of acts and I thought all the music was very Shawn Dill and Kirk VanQilder blow out a few tunes on their sax ' s. photo Watters Studio good. Other artists were nervous about per- forming on the big stage. Senior Coleen Bush said, I was really nervous, but I think 1 did really well. Brad Wadkins, senior, said, It was the most exasperating experience I ' ve ever had. Another good aspect of the program was the production staff, which was headed by Mr. Del Proctor, Mr. Bill Heins, and Mr. Neal Graham. The NMPA and the stage- craft and drama classes also helped out in producing Etc. ' 88. Etc. ' 88 was a fine display of Northrop ' s students at their best. As Tricia Hart, an audience member, said, It was great to see so much talent at Northrop. — Susie Anderson Bill Korhman plays a sax solo during Jazz Band ' s performance in Etc ' 88- photo Watters Studio SHOWING OGR BEST 193
