In each of us is what is necessary to be a leader... and what is necessary to follow. We are living paradoxes and we need not be bothered by that. It is in the way that we strive that there is merit and credit. It does not matter if we win or if we do not win but it is in the trying that a growth happens. We grow and we develope more and more each day and more and more each week and year but we will no see it. Our involvement destroys our perspective and we need to develope faith. Faith in ourselves to grow and faith that the process in more important than the immdeiate product. It is the long range product that is worthy of our concern and it is us ourselves that are the long range product. Try, you will gain.

Four days and one evening were all that were needed for registration this year. Like every year, there are al- ways some goof-ups. ID cards weren ' t ready for the seniors and too many sophmores signed up for the same classes. Kim Moore, formerly from Snider, worked registration and said. There seem to be a lot of hassled people with schedules, insurance, and class dues, but everybody seemed to keep cool. Mr. Mitchell, who was m com- mand of the scheduling said. The self-scheduling last spring helped to minimize the confusion and to help keep things runnmg smoother. Advertising was also a part of registration. Various clubs set up tables selling items to support their activities. Items sold in- cluded Bernie Bruin stickers. T- shirts, and yearbooks and news- papers. The Student Council sponsored a car wash which brought in S200 in four days. There was even a complaint stand run by George Tricolas. Students with questions, suggest- ions, and complaints could voice them there. Northrop made a bundle on fees this year. In one day SI 1 .000 was brought in. When asked. Miss Todd said that on tlie wiiole this 75-76 fall registration went well without too many problems, helping Northrop to get off to another fine start.

Each year, the classes elect ot ' ficeis to can ' tliiH)ugh the school year. It is tliis election in September that often tells what the whole year will be like. This year Northrop was served well by the sophomore, the junior, and the senior class officers. Planning all the function of the year, getting class spirit up. and serving as middlemen with the faculty and administration are some of the bigger job the officers have to do. The only way to do these jobs well is by listening to the kids and keeping up with their needs. Class officers also have the need to serve the school as a whole as well as serving their particular class. It is through cooperation and good understanding that the school will best meet the needs of the students. One way that the class officers this year helped to meet the needs of Northrop was with their gift of an auditorium quality movie projector. This enabled the classes to offer movies for the students on Week ends and will help the drama department with future productions. The Class organizations also hel|i other area of the school. f:acli does its share to help the yearbook with a cash gift to keep the cost down and to keep each class section as large as possible. School receptions are also class beneficiaries as it is the classes who often provide the refreshments there. Student Life 1; TERRIFIC would be a good description of the Northrop Mighty Marching Band during the 1975-76 school year. Under the direction of Mr. Barry Ashton, with Mr. Holloway assisting, the band started off on tlie riglit foot, or should 1 say the riglit boot?. ...by attending Band Camp the third week in August. Hours and hours of hard work in Band Camp was only the beginning. The Marcliing Band began practicing when school started. They practiced every day, beginning during the sixth period, and they didn ' t quit until the football season was over. However, their season for perfomring was not over yet. Contests such as, NISBOVA, Wilkliart Memorial Marching Festival, Indiana State Marcliing Contest, and the Memorial Day Parade took up some of the Band ' s time. Band takes a lot of time and effort, but the more work you put into it, the more fun it is, comments Jeff DeWeese, I have had some of the best times of my life in the Marching Band. Mary Mertz, one of the drummers feels The Mighty Marcliing Bruins will even be better during the 1976-77 school year because of the Bruins that will be returning. When asked about her opinion of the Marcliing Band she replied, It ' s a lot of hard work but it ' s just a whole lot of fun also. I wouldn ' t trade being in the band for anything in the world. Marching Band is where it ' s at. Mark Robinson and Dave Billings pos for the camera during one of their las Mighty Maching Bruin preformances.

Hours of hard work and lots of excitement started earl ' in the season for these dedicated girls. As early as August, at a camp in Dayton. Ohio, the girls were putting the finishing touches in theii routines, polishing up for the football season. Leading the talented and energetic Pom-Pom girls were Julie I-!isenacli; captain. Pam Moore and Maria Stanton; co-captains. The top eight girls formed a special group, calling themselves the Toddettes. in appreciation to Miss Todd. They perlbrmed during half-time at basketball games in their dance-like uniforms. Sixteen girls made up the Flag Corp, who performed in pregame shows. The Flag Corp also high- lighted a basketball game by per- forming their own routine during half-time. Routines are thought up by thegifis on the squad. Miss Wliisler. the sponsor, felt, the girls did a good job this year, being the first year for a Flag Corp. A very talented girl, who put man ' hours of practice was our lone twirler, Lisa Arnold. Lisa led the girls in pregame shows during the football and basketball seasons. Basketball and football games bring us many hours of fun and excitement but thanks to the Pom- Pom girls, the Flag Corp and Lisa Arnold there is a little tt)uch of class in between the grunts and groans of the shames.

The fall play? That was two weeks ago, November 17 and 18. Did ' nt you get the newspaper, there was a review in it. I was really wondering why Mr. Purkliiser asked me if I was having any trouble getting my makeup off!!! Hmmm.how was it? it was dynoniite, there was some really scary parts- like when Witch Boy who was really Jim DelPriore, gave ole Marvin Hudgins, that was Davis Smith, a big ole ' zap of lightning and blew him from here to well, you know- just because he was mess- ing with his woman, Barbara Allen, that was Sara Keirns. There was only one thing sad about it, see Witch Boy has had this deal with Conjur Man, guess who that was! I don ' t know, who? Mark Wolf! Anyway, he had this deal, Conjur Man was suppose to change Witch Boy to a human so he could marry Barbara Allen. But, if Barbara ever had any kind of relationship with any other guy, he would have to become a witch again. I take it he lost the deal. Well, you know that they say about the ' heat of passion ' . It was still a great production. Witches tempt John wJieii all tlh humans turn against him at the birth of his monster child. Boh Domer shows that the Preacher still has a Boh Domer as the Preacher tells Sara kieirns as Barbara Allen that there is a taste for the ' corn likker ' . way for her to renounce her witch boy... he unfaithful to htm !

Coach Doerffler stated, Monte deserves this lionor and I know Monte will represent Northrop well. The teams co-captains were Terry Diller and Monte Dickerhoof Another very important part of the Bruin Gridders are coacher Howard Schneider, Tom Lindenberg. and Mike Danley, all who assisted Coach Doerffler. The managers were Bob Watson, Ron Bojrab, Larry Bryan, and Jerry Hubert Our winning tradition goes on. Enthusiasm and lots of hard wrok proved successful for the F ' Tf Bruin Gridders. Coach ■ Buzz Doerffler ' s mighty Bruins ended the season with an excellent record of 6-3. According to Doerffler tills years team played with the same enthusiasm and pride that the other Bruin teams have Traditionally this team was very similar to Bruin teams in the past. The Bruin ' s season began slow, losing three of their first four games, but the mighty Bruins never stopped fighting. Tliey made a giant comeback winning five consecutive games and clinching the SAC Nortii Division title. 26 Sports Top right is the Gridirons of the Mighty Bniins .

Everyone worked together that was what Coach Long- ardner tried to impress upon everybody-, that you went out as a team , not as an individual. stated Carolyn Caliill as she reflected on the vollyball season. The girls efforts as a team paid off. with the best volleyball season yet at Northrop. The Varsity team ended their season with a record of 13-8 with the B team checking in with 6-1 record. Of the players interviewed, all agreed on one thing- they worked as a team. 1 someone was having trouble in their game, somebody else pointed out their mistakes. explains Karin Wallenstein. Another fact thay may account for the achievements of the volleyball team is the enthusiasum that many Northrop fans show at the games.

The increased pressure and demand on public courts and the creation of private pay as you play courts bode well for an increase in the luiniber and quality of high school players around Northrop. The competitive schedule set up for the Bruins gave them the chance to paly some of the finer teams in the area and advanced tiiem as real contenders straight into the sectionals. The team is coached by Mr. Jim Kieni and practices on the courts out behind school. Practice starts early with the first official date for the team to assemble as a group .Vigust 12tli.

Ron Ruich and Chris Weaver receiving awards for the November 1st State Meet in Indianapolis. Sweat, aches, and pains are just a part of the game to the Bruin harriers as they marked another successful Cross Coun- try season. They had a few problems when senior, Ron Ruich, was injured in the Hunt- ington meet earlier in the sea- son. But the harriers had little trouble pulling off a tremen- dous record of 21-0, with a 88 regular meet winning streak. Coach Barrie Peterson feels that. This year was as good of a year in relationship to potential as any of the pre- vious years. Decent rimning let Coach Peterson ' s squad place second in sectionals and third in re- gjonals. In their best meet, the harriers finished the season with a third place rating in the State Cross Country meet in Indianapolis. Randy Ruich a senior, placed 17th in the state meet and was placed on the all State Cross Country team. Randy considers this a great honor and Coach Peter- son is very happy that he made the all-state team. This is the first year an all-state team has been named. Coach Peterson al- so stated that he wishes an all- state team could have been named in previous years.

Vie Learning Center provides individuai attention to each and every student. l ' -3162G Freedom is a key word in today ' s idealogy and it is a great concern for today ' s youth. No single class in the Northrop offering tries harder to meet tliis need in the student body than the Learning Center as a part of tire School within a School program. Here, the student is allowed to set up a program of liis own thinking in a particular class with the help and direction of the teacher and to work at a pace that is applicable to the students best interests. Under the initial leadersliip of Mr. )b Walleen, the program has now grown to encompass more than a half dozen teachers and be under the official admin- istration of Mr. Mel Zelmer, assistant to the principal. Informality is one of the watchwords for the group and the traditional turn offs are hard to find. Teacher roles are more of a resource person orientated rather tlian the lecturer and taskmaster. Location of the learning center has shifted in the past four year to reflect the growth of the operation. Tire begining of this year saw them move into four rooms on the west end of B hall. Next year will see another big move as the program will be based in the upper floor area of E Wing. Mrs. Nancy Passwater lends assistance to Carolyn Baatz.

Man is a social animal and llic stud of man in tliis L ' onlexl is Social Science. There are many and varied offerings in the Northrop Social Studies, but the common demon- inator is the ability of man to learn to live together in a peaceful and productive manner. The lessening of shock ill the social structure can be achieved when the rule that guides society can be decrened by the observers. New course offerings in this department have been aimed at giving students a more involved look at the society that they live in.[ thai that society evolved from, and what that society is moving toward.

Tlris can be a way for students to sample different media and to see if there are things in their background that will be of value in a career or avocation of oral expression. Oral expression is growing in importance in this the modern world. More and more of our every day con- tacts are face to face or telephone. Skills learned in speech and drama can help communication and aid in the logical transfer of ideas and information. Mr. Del Proctor and Mr. Jim Purkliiser ran the stage orientated classes in drama and Mr. Dennis Bechtel- himer took over the speech. Dennis was also active in helping with the various production in the theatri- cal field such as Etc. 76, the Fall Play, and the Spring Musical where he helped direct the dancing. Script reading is important to Teresa Simons, Steve Stensrud and to Andria Warkenton. Set construction keeps Dan Kemp, Bob Domer, and Phil Fort busy and gives lie to the idea that it is Just acting ability that is needed in the drama field.

Since the launching of Sputnik in the late ' 50 ' the schools in the United States have had more and more emphasis on science to not only keep the American scientic community strong, but to keep the public informed in scientific advance. The many varied offerings in Northrop ' s big science area are evidence of the positive results of this ideal. Not only can students elect the traditional classes of biology and chemistry, but the new offerings include astronomy, advanced life and physical sciences, aero-space studies, and even a section of independent study where the student sets up and follows his own course of study under the direction and supervision of one of the school ' s science inslriiclors. Lab facilities are second to none and gaps of the initial installation are being filled with new equipement as well as maintaining original. Mr. Ron Dvorak cotoiscis one of his science students. Why is the motto of the scientist and the student who is going to be a scientist. Nature is a questioning process and the logical unraveling of the order that is nature ' s way. It ' s like learning the rules to the game that you are going to play. In science, the name of the game is life and the rules that are investigated are the rules of life.

Skill in working metal or wood is more appreciated in the world of mass production that we live ill than in simplier life styles who take such talent for granted. It is the role of the Industrial Arts department to not only see that professional craftsmen will be able to step into paying jobs but that students who will enter all walks of life can learn skills that will give them pleasure as well as possible profit in their everyday life. Wood working and metals are areas of growing hobby interest to great numbers of people. The basics and many of th e refinments can be learned in Shop classes. A display of the products and the skills of the lA were offered at the Fine Arts day in May. .411 categories were represented and items ranged from electronic tools made to test audio and the various motor operations to some excellent e.xamples of hand made furniture for the home. Drafting is co-educational, which makes the class more interesting for Kay Murphy and Chuck Deford. Academics 47 Bowlegs hit the lanes each week One of the most popular reaeation type of sports in America today is bowling and every week millions of people get off the streets to take to the alleys. Bruins are no exceptions, and every Tuesday after school, many of the super keglers relaxed from a had day over a book or lab dest by spilUng the maples. Competitions was set up with the people bowling on teams of five with a weekly note kept of happy bowlers who had high game, high serres, most improved, and so forth. Northcrest lanes were the official home of the Northrop BowUng club and Mr. Marvin Todd was the club sponser. Todd has been the sponser of the club since it began five years ago when Northrop was opened. Wrap up festivites for the year come with a get together during a first period in May to present the trophies for the various honors to both the teams and the individuals. Each of the bowlers also received a thanks from Mr. Todd along with a trophy for participation. Concentration is the name of the game in bowling and Bob Byanskie lias plenty of that. Getting off on the right foot makes for better co- ordination as shown by Mike Stewart. Everybody seems to be watching just when you leave that 6-10 split. Grit your teeth as Dave Vorndran does and concentrate on being number one. 48 Student Life Here are the members of the BnwUiif; Chih and Mr. Marvin Todd, their sponsor.

Tliis is the place where the entire student body is delegating the right to leadership to a select but very capable committee. Tliis committee is picked by an equal representation formula and the total leadersliip is selected by all of the students voting for the Student Council President. Student Council President tlris year was Rick Glover and he was assisted by the very able Vice President, Kieth Scott. Both were elected the previous Spring by a vote of the students. The next Fall, all organizations were allowed to name a member to sit on the council and at large members were picked from each of the classes to insure fair voice for every group in school. Activities began during Pre-Registration with a car wash in the parking lot and then moved to the showing of feature movies in the auditorium on week ends to give students a reasonable price for entertainment. Tlie Student Council also was the guiding force behind Spirit Week at Homecoming and beliind the Cluistmas can drive to obtain food for needy famiUes at the holidays.

Answer. ..Wliy a Northrop Cheerleader of course! The Cheerleaders at Northrop do a lot more than that, but that is a general idea. They go to all the football and basketball games, but will go to all of the other sports as well. They also spend hours working on skits to keep people alive at pep sessions and they spend other hours working on new cheers and chants. In addition, they also make good luck tokens for the atheletes and print spirit messages to put on the lockers before inportant games and meets. As a matter of fact, the Northrop Cheerleaders do everything that you can imagine for the school. It isn ' t hard to see why they are such a big part of the sports program here at the school that is the best in the city and probably the area in sports. Rain or shine, footl all or basketball.

Wrestling is one of the purest sports in the world ot ' competition today, it puts one man against another with a clearly defined set of niles, there is no more than a few pound dif- ference in the weights, and their whole set of goals reduces itself to doing better than the otlier man on the mat with you. Work has its rewards in this sort of sport as the Bruins learned with their surprising sec- ond place finish in tlie SAC ajid their win in the sectional for new head coach Mike Danley and new assistant Rick Housel. Rick Housel set some sort of new record for coaclung dedication. He taught here at Northrop this year in the COE program and lived in Marion, some 4. miles away. When lie stayed after school for coaching, it meant many long evenings that he had to stay in Fort Wayne and not get home for three or four days in a row. A stoic attitude is needed for reserves, but this year saw a strong reserve program in the works and with the extra effort of Coaches Danley and Housel working with sophomores and juniors, next season should be one in the high finishes for the Bruins.

Tlic emphasis was still on youth as a great group of sophomores and juniors got game experience doing good things for the future. Coach Donna Parker completed her second season on a happy note with the promise of almost an entire team of seasoned cagers, but decided at the end of the year to hang up a career in coaclring for a career in administration. She will turn the team over to Miss ' Sis ' Arnold next winter. Parker will be more deeply involved with office responsibilities. Hustle seemed to be one of the keys of the cage gals as they scrapped till the buzzer in aD of their matches.

Student Life 73 Communication is one of the biggest studies in the world today and Journalism is one facet of that study. JournaUsm was offered as a phase elective English class and as an elective for journalism credit. There were six semesters offered and it was possible to get a major in journalism. The first year of classes is set up as a survey of all the options in the field to give the students a chance to decide what interests them most. The second and the third year is assignment to a particular job on the school newspaper or the yearbook with chances to try some other areas in the course of the year. One of the most popular fields is photography. This area has the most applicants and tliis year saw twelve people serve on the photo staff Another twenty-five people did a little photo work to get some feel for the job. Tliis year set a record for enrollments in journalism with over 200 students sign up for eight sections.

One COE student says,. It ' s a pretty good program, because it gets you out in the business world before you gradu- ate. It prepares you for it. This year ' s COE class had several fund raising projects. Tire money earned is used for such things as the State Con- test in Indianapolis, the banquet at the end of the year, and, if you made enough money, for field trips and such . . .for fun!

The store, called the ' Bear Necessities proved to be an instant hit with students and staff alike as a place to get some last minute materials for class or to stop by in the morning for a snack of candy or some sort of bagged snack food. Under the direction of Mr. Tim Matthias the store was run and staffed entirely by a group of DE students. Students switched jobs in the store frequently to give each of the kids experience in the different areas of retail selling. Helping with the store was Mr. Mike Danley who helped teach a few DE classes. Other business department members helped direct student traffic in the area of the store which was located on the south end of E wing.

Academics 87 Work on the 1976 version of the Bear Tracks began in July of 1975 when four staff members went to Ball State University to spend a week in an intensive and exhaustive yearbook workshop. Sara Keirns, Judy Kemp, Judi Adams, and Lore Kelsaw came out of the workshop with the idea that it was time to change Bear Tracks and came back and convince the rest of the staff that new things were one of the ways that the yearbook would be improved. First change was the use of a chronlogical organization rather that the old section theory. Now Second change was a new style of lay out and design that was a brainchild of Sara Keirns who did 85% of all lay outs in this book and then a full color cover for the first time. New ideas brought difficulty as the old way of doing things did not fit the new order. Lots of time was spend getting things organized and Liz Wise was now the first Photography editor in history of the Bear Tracks. Now, here is the end result of all the work and worry. Here is the 1976 Bear Tracks. Adviser Mr. Jim Sweeney gives Senior Joe Helmkamp some encouraging if not terribly helpful words. Judy Kemp prepares the division pages for the yearbook.

Under the lead of Editor in Chief Mark TTiompson and page editors Tammy Smith, Colleen Gunder. Mary Mertz, and artist of all talents. Randy Buechner the product took shape.

Mr. Bill Heins and Mr. Don Gerig directed the vocal music program and worked with both the Concert and the varoius specialty vocal groups. Public performances have maked this year with the high point being a television appearance by the Concert choir and the Madrigal group. Several local civic clubs have invited the music department to display the Bruin talent at luncheon and evening meetings. All of the groups have taken part in conderts here in school and at various public areas and local shopping maOs.

Mr. Heins, director, helped them prove their abilities as they presented over 50 programs for school, community, and faternal organizations in and around the Fort Wayne area. Concert Choir members, led by President MarkWolf had the major part of the Christmas Concert, went carroling at Lincoln National Bank with Swing Choir and Madrigal Singers, and pressed Joy to the World a Christmas album also with Swing Choir and Madrigal Singers. Especially proud of their Superior rating awarded at the NISBOVA State Contest, the Swing Choir boasted programs at local, elementary and junior high schools, the Ernbassy Theatre, and eiglit diffrent Christmas programs given with the Madrigal Singers during the Christmas season. Their best remembered song is Mack the Knife , constantly in demand because of the superb presentation to the audience. Madrigal Singers, now in their third year at Northrop, led by Duke Dave Southern, and Dutchess Oare Shupe, appeared at the Kick-Off Concert, Orchestra Concert, Pops Concert, besides being the featured ensemble in the Christmas finale A Colonial Christmas given here at school and on Television WKJG. Competition was also on their schedules. At NISBOVA Regionals, Madrigal Singers recieved Gold Medals a nd then Moved on to State competition where they won Silver Medals. The biggest undertaking the choir choirs took this year was a tour through Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee, giving concerts in Evansville, Indiana, and Nashville, Tennessee.

Student Life 115 Emotion runs deep in music and the rendering shows the real depth of the musical forms of Black America today. iMvish production numbers and grooving dancing are a part of the experience tliat one expects from the get down spirit of the Afro Extravaganza. Afpo Show Pride in one ' s self is one of the most im- portant of all human conditions. This pride was reflected in the Afro Extravaganza when the Black community that is a part of school here at Northrop displayed the background and culture that gives them identity. Sharing is a big word in any community, and it was a sharing that the audience was able to experience. Reflection on ethnic or national roots need not be devisive when a people realize that the background is where we came from and the togetherness of today is the route to where we are going. Tliis year the role of the Afro- American club has been the togetherness policy. It is the emphasis on common goals and needs as well as common likes and motivations. Membership in the group is open to all of the Northrop students and the prime goal of the club is studying and understanding the part of the Afro— American in fonning the culture that we all share today. The Afro Queen was truthfully one lovely among many lovely ladies.

And winning golf is a new Northrop tradition as the finish of a Nortlirop team has crept into the upper division in the SAC for the last few years.

Access to both books and periodicals is ample and there are student staff workers or the adult media center workers to help find the right material for that special project. A large selection of audio-visual materials is also availiable to student scholars if necessary. Emphasis on individual study and personal research is one of the key notes of the media center and it is the goal to see students come in and search out the materials needed for their projects. The learning of skills in finding what is needed is a great part of education and one of the more under rated contributions of the Media Center.

Northrop ' s art department is tilling a great need in the role of the school as a developer of minds and attitudes. A student in art classes is given guidelines and is them free to create what ever the mind can construct between those rules of materials and techniques. There is a tremendous variety of both materials to work in and equipement to work with. Options run the range from jewelry to ceramics to painting and drawing. There is even an offering in art photograpliic areas if students elect to work in that medium.

Northrop ' s PE staff lead by Mr. Tom Tom and with Miss ' Sis ' Arnold directing the ladies and with Mr. Chris Stavreti. and Miss Ruth Longardener take a stand on teaching skills and sports interest that a person can stay with a long time. Participation is of more value than is spectating in sports. Physical education is one of the areas where the old saying that it isn ' t winning or losing, but is is the playing of the game is true. Playing the game and a good attitude toward exercise and nutrition can be the ultimate in winning... a long and happy life.

Inside Softball shared the Spring ealendar with archerv on bad weather days. Academics 1 39 It only seemed natural that when President Gerald Ford decided to visit Fort Wayne that he would choose Northiop ' s as the honor band. After all, look at all the practice they have playing Hail to the Chief for head basketball coach Bob Dille. And of course, when the call came confirming the request, there was little hesitation. Immediately, security checks were run on all people involved including Mr. Barry Ashton and Mr. ' Stretch ' Hol- loway, and Principal Sandra Todd. Needless to say, all passed. And there was a special presentation as Senior Colleen Gunder represented Junior Achievement and made a presentation to Ford himself. ' What ' s Bruin ' staffers Mark Thompson and Tammy Smith along with photographers Mike Taylor and Jeff Landgrebe were issued press credentials to cover the event.

Seniors make Nortliiop go. It is the drive and experience tliat the top class brings to each year that helps make it tlie wiiiner that it is. In Sports, in Studies, or in Social or Leadersliip roles, the influence of the senior class is to be felt. Touching all pai ' ts of the scliool, the graduating class makes itself knowa A salute is in order for the class of 76 for die positive actions that they undertook for tlie bettemient of all students and for Noitliiop itself Julie Eisenach and Pam Moore put in a lot of hard work and dedication as co-captains of the Pom-Pom sqiiad.

Julie Eisenach enjoyed the game and represented Northrop i Ui wtth senioPMwep The life of a senior has many areas of involvement. There are the ever present academics, the competition of sports, and the day to day Ufe of school along with a social Ufe. But the key is involvement and variety. And the goal is accompUshment in studies, games, planning or just recreating. Every year evreyone says that this the the best senior class in the history of this school. Wlio knows if that is always true. No one. But we do know that that can very accurately be said for the Bruin class of ' 76!!!!!! Seniors found involvement with Guidence Co-ordinator George Tri- colas pleasant and rewarding with his background in sources of money availiable to college hound students. 144 Student Life I-cadiiifi the band and phving the role were important i Senior Steve Fritscli. Involving yourself Mth study and researeh is a uav for a Senior to mm uif a high school graduate. Sometimes it was important to relate one to one and show another person your mind and thoughts. Student Life 145 Tonight I went to the Northrop ' s Senior ' s Honor Banquet. In order to be invited you have to have gotten High Honors or Scholarship with Distinction. I managed to get High Honors. I guess all those nights of homework paid off. Anyway, Mom Dad came too. At ter a nicedinnerthey handed out certificates of recognition And of course the sal- ., 0 utatorian and the valedictorian 15 were announced. Guess who they are! Eunice Wadiwitz was the sal- utatorian. Shes good in everything but shes really good in music. Let ' s see, this year she was in choir. Orchestra, Band. Boy, I ' ll bet she was pooped after school! She can play the flute piano and is often the accompanist for the Concert Choir. Eunice said she plans to go to DePauw and study music. Good ole Terry Diller was this year ' s Valedictorian. Science is his favorite subject. Just like Eunice, Terry was really active this year. He was in the Varsity Club, lettered in Basketball, and was co- captain of the football basketball teams. He also got the Blanket Award the Sertoma Award. Terry is going to college too. He wants to study pre-Iaw ' at Ball State.

One of the 597 members of the class of 1976 receives his diploma from Miss Todd. The front row of graduates relax after receiving their diplomas. They are Eunice Wadiwitz, Steve Fritsch, Joe DeCamp, Gail Armstrong, and Julie Ellison. 148 Student Life Miss Debbie Stark alona with Mr. Josepl! DcCamp were commencement Speakers. Questions like wliich side does the tassle go on and gosli are these gowns liot are sure to be echoing from Graduations ever since the Middle Ages. The Bruin send off for its almost 600 members of the Class of 1976 was no exception. The day began with a mass rehearsal in the afternoon in the Coliseum and moved to the big final staging just an hour before the eventful ceremony. With not just the graduates, but all their parents and kin, the seats in the Coliseum were fdled to just about the comfortable capacity. Decorum and dignity marked the evening, but some last minute shouts of congratulations or possible suprise did float down from the big throng of very iiappy well wishers. In the end, however, everytliing progressed smoothly as the nearly 600 high school students who filed into the huge auditorium left it as diploma bearing citizens.

Memories seem to flood your mind during special times like graduation. ..they assault you like unbidden guests. All the years that lead up to tliis minute are streaming in front of your eyes and you wonder why everyone can not see them. They are more vivid than the ceremony. Graduation is the end of a twelve year struggle and this is a moment to relish and enjoy. It is a moment that will stay with you and mean something to you forever. It is a door at the end of a tunnel and passing through the door means that a journey is over and you are ready to leave something... but it also means you are going to enter something different.

We learned tliat a person can learn in classrooms and we learned of the many tilings tliat can be learned in wider and wore distant schools. We learned tliat it is quite possible tliat tlie book knowledge tliat we liave gathered in Nortlirop will be deepened and put to the ultimate test in our yejrs to come. We liave learned tliat the knowledge of our own bodies and our own minds is the quest. To know our self is the dream and the goal We want to see the dark corners of our souls so tliat the liglit of our looking wUl set them straight. We want to exanine our relationsMps with all the people around us so tliat we can improve on tliem and bring tliem into perspectives tliat wiU stand the tests of time. We want to try to find a world of our making where tlie knowledge and learning tliat students of all types seek wUl help mankind and not hurt it. Learning, and learning in all its diverse cate- gories was certainly the most inportant side tliat we could fmd to express the reality and tlie importance of our side of ' 76. 220 Index 5 vppi EfEpl zpi )Era ' © f ?l tSrJ 2X Jv J l fc Index 221 The second most important side tliat we found to ' 76 was the faces tliat were around us. Some liad a classic beauty, otliers liad a cliann or style all their own. But the tiling tliat made tliose faces so inportant to all of us v as the person who was liiding there beliind tliat face. Long, long ago in September, there were a lot of strangers who kept walking past us in the hall of Nortlirop. Tlien one by one tliose strangers disappeared and friends who v e cared for and who cared for us took the place of those strangers. It was a nicer time and a nicer world to live in. It WIS nic-er and w learned to see beliind tlie faces and we began to see people wlio were making our life better and our vistas nuich nxire wide. We lost some of tliat old narrowness when be began to find people, when we began to look behind faces. «J nl  l J I l l i ' ki i 1t ll J i ' •4.,., . ™- ' i ' tt 1t ii j_ And ' 76 was a year of places. It seemed that every time you turned, it was time to go somewhere. It was the usual school in the moring, but it then became where was the band going this morning, where was the COE class traveling to Saturday, and where was the Tennis team playing this afternoon. It was a constant travel and going and coming year. It was don ' t miss the Senior Reception tonight m the commons, it was be sure to get to the stadium for the game tonight, it as see you at the auditorium for the musical tomorrow. And sometime it was just, 111 meet you in the main hall during lunch. Sl tic) uJi:! • I i l l I l • 1 1 One tiling vvas for sure. ' 76 was a doing year. We were never still tor more than a few irinutes. We were talking, and moving, and playing, and thising. and thating. 1 1 was either soite sort of music group or some sort of sports team or activity, or anything you can think of. We were pep sessioning. we were acting on stage, we were researcliing in tlie Media Center, or wliatever came to nind riglit then. Our side of ' 76 was hyper in a way. frenzied in a way. It was a cliase for tlie year and it was a cliase trying to catch time and hold it. We never did quite catch the year and make it hold stiU, but we sure gave it a run for its money! J This is it. Our side of ' 76 has come to a close and it ' s the time for another year to be- gin. Now that it is time for new sunoundings, new folks to get to know, and lots ofing new things to do, please tWnk kindly of 1976 when out of something someone says, a word or a phrase reminds you of this year and everyone in that year for you. Seniors leave Nortrop and for the sophomores and junior and faculty who come back. It will be a new Northrop. The ancient Greeks used to say you can ' t step into the same stream twice. It moves and is different. All life is like that and you can ' t live the same year twice. But let ' s be glad that for this year we shared our side of ' 76 228 Closing Closing 229 F ' W ' ' .-:-: WALSWORTH Marceline, Mo., U.S.A. Closing 231 Our side of ' 76 was exciting and it was profitable for Nortlirop. We showed Fort Wayne that a high school could balance atliletics. academics, and social Ufe for a rounded program. We also balanced joy and sadness, success and some disappointment. We experienced encouragement and frustration. And it was all right and we not only lived through it but we learned. This year book was produced with all of the above factors. The success can be credited to Liz Wise, Sara Keirns, Judy Kemp, and Judi Adams. Thanks is also extended to Michele Cox, Pat Kennedy, Maria Jones, Mike Parrish, Mike Taylor, Mark Thompson, Diane Vanderkolk, Terri Wliitehurst, Kathy Overmey- er, Joe Helmkamp, Tim Tassler, Lore Kelsaw, Anne Dolan, Brian Becker, Mark Timmis, Dawn Jackson, and Pam Noehern. ■ ' ' WM Tm ... ■ mmrm 232 ClBsmg fsr- Wi . w-  l ' l tt '  4
