“Tell the whole darn world this is Ea- gle Territory” resounded off the gym- nasium walls as sophomores, juniors and seniors made the Eagle wings with their hands. For the first time in the sixteen years of Northeastern it had finally happened. We were at long last COMING OF AGE in spirit and unity as a school and as a student body. Since the consolidation of the school systems in 69-70 it was an uphill battle for spirit and unity, and constant changes of administration did not help.

The emergence of this attitude naturally fil- tered into all aspects of school life, and we saw a COMING OF AGE in not only attitudes, but also in curriculum. Students were still ‘‘hanging around”, but they were anxious and positive with the school process. In academics we emerged with an attitude that placed classroom achievement ahead of outside activities. Students clamored for better and harder courses such as French III and talked positively about the incorporation of advanced place- ment courses. In sports we were ‘‘go- ing for the gold” with another winning season in soccer and a chance at the state play-offs in football. Women had a chance to fine tune their bodies with the new course in aerobics and the new sport of volleyball. We were ‘‘joining the crowd” in organizations as more students participated in these ac- tivities than ever before.

The Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and the Electronics club helped stu- dents from all spectrums participate. With talk of career ladders and a new growing respect for the teaching profession, it was no wonder that teachers were “teaching the way” with new attitudes and morale. Under the new leadership of superintendent, William Symons, Northeastern emerged as a school COMING OF AGE in com- munication, dedication and education. The sophomores came “experiencing a change” and found that they fit right in. Dubbed “the most spirited sopho- more class” ever, they challenged the seniors during homecoming week and rocked right along with everyone else. The juniors just seemed to be “sticking it out” their second year. With the pressure of an awesome academic load and the selling of magazines and the preparation for the prom, they pooped out during homecoming as Williams got the pie-in-the-eye. The seniors, on the other hand, “left a legacy” that will be hard to beat. For three years they gave the most spirit and endured the twenty credits placed on them as soph- omores to graduate. Through it all they gave it their best even through the scientific and political upheavals and advancements of 1984-85. With politi- cal protests against nuclear space ar- maments as a negative, we also saw Sally Ride and Kathy Sullivan make history as the first American women in space. In the election year we saw mud-slinging tactics between Republi- cans and Democrats, and the Reagan- Bush team win, but we also saw a gi- ant step for women as Geraldine 4—Opening
