Spirit is a liveliness that when nurtured can grow and flourish. In the appropriate setting, this combination of pride and en- thusiasm created an unmistakable power. It was this power that encircled and sought to include the entire diverse group of individuals at Northern. One of the schools greatest assets is its abundance of spirit. This liveliness shines through unqiuely and differently depending on the time of year and its focus. Football season is a classic example of a vast conglomeration of spirit. The “Husky Hysteria motto accurately reflected the enthusiastic attitudes produced following the successful 1986 football season. This concise statement allowed students, teach- ers, and parents to display their school pride with bumper stickers and tee-shirts. The continued success of the varsity football team has preserved this attitude. Pep assemblies are another strong show- ing of that awesome Husky spirit. As classes compete for the coveted pep bone one could easily be caught up in the fever! It was the intense Husky Power that inspired male football players and cheerleaders to change roles for an hour. Husky Power is fostered in other less ob- vious ways. It is a flame that flickers inside all students who have felt pride in their school. The diversity of people in school provides the perfect wick for this flame to flicker brightly. The spirit is the beauty of individual expression. Students gather at the Mardi Gras Field Day, run by Chairperson Kristen Henline, to cheer their classes onto victory. Show Your Pep Sophomores Amy Kilbourn and Arthur “Chip” Plum- mer help support their class by selling “Beat the Big Reds” balloons at the PHN vs PH football game.

Spediol =§ ftOto, U.S. Space Camp in Huntsville, Ala- bama, was designed to duplicate the func- tions of equipment training and simulators found at the astronaut training center at NASA. Junior John Lukovich and sopho- more Missy Richert were lucky enough to have been able to attend Space Camp this past summer. They were separated into lev- els where they learned to conduct on board shuttle experiments, repair and fuel tele- scopes, and finally design a detailed space station including a major purpose and an estimated price. Missy summed up her feel- ings on the camp by saying, “It was an experience I will never forget!” Resting his tired feet, Scott Hawley leans against a friendly giraffe in a toy store in Chicago. Kristi Pettipren had the pleasure of meeting with celebrities like Joseph Kennedy in her job as a page for Congressional Democratic Congressman David Bonoir from July 7 to August 15.

• ■Mm? 0m es s: The Husky mascot came to life when junior Beth Burch stepped into a new costume. A gener- ous donation provided the student body with this desperately needed dog. I wanted to get involved with school activi- ties,” exclaimed Beth. She found that the hard- est part of the job was during the PHN vs PH pep assembly. “It was very nerve wracking,” she re- members. The Husky mascot is an important part of the football games. Beth explains the dog’s responsi- bilities by stating, “The Husky s job is to get the stands involved. They need to be a part of the game too!” Beth enjoys her position as school mascot de- spite the casualties, “Its a hot job, but someone has to do it!” Mr. Ray Labelle and Mrs. Janet Eastman en- thusiastically watch the students compete in the Mardi Gras Field Day Games. Cheerleader Jennifer Krenke gives a punch of encouragement as she cheers for the junior var- sity football team. Seniors Chris Castillo and Kathy Smarch carry an armful of painting supplies to the senior wall. Show Your Pep student life 15
