Tennis Second in sectionals caps netters up strokes season. Shappell, Voght end 11-3 The 1977-78 boys tennis team opened the season early in the summer with the difficult task of filling all but one of the varsity positions. The inexperience showed early as the netters lost their first 3 matches. A few changes in positioning and the tennis team was on a winning track. The Bruin netters finnished with a 7-9 record overall, and 3-6 in the SAC for a 7th place finish. During the sectionals the Bruins came alive ripping New Haven 3-2 in the morning contest and returning in the afternoon to handle Dwenger 4-1. In the sectional championship match eventual semi-state champions Snider defeated Northrop 5-0. Playing the number one smgles position on this years team was senior Paul Smith. The top doubles team consisted of seniors Jeff Shappell, the only returning letterman, and Tom Voght. Shappell and Voght finished with an excellent 11-3 record.

Student Council led our winning Penny Pitch drive Meetings for the Student Council didn ' t start until September 23, but the work was already moving. Before the first day of the new classes, the SC had sponsored an all city dance after the football jamboree and had a new fixture for distributing things in the Commons in a orange and brown booth that was constructed by President Jeff Lindville and his father. Major new business for the year included the approval of two new organizations for a more involved student body. Key club and Rifle club were the fledgling groups. It was also with SC backing that Northrop won the WOWO Penny Pitch campaign with both the highest total for a large school and with the greatest contribution per student, Jackie Puterbaugli and Chariotte Motz were tiie driving forces in the Penny Pitch drive as the total involvement of the students did what was necessary to make us number one. The Heart Fund also benefited from SC attention as over 51,000.00 was raised for the charity ' s researcii fund. Danny KL ' nip soils Studenl Council spirit items to Deiinna BiUcs.
