This year was one you made In this seventh year of Northrop, the key word was in- volvement. It began with the Student Council officers promise to take away the power from an elite few and give it to you! Not only did the Student Council have this idea, but so did academics, band, fine arts, publi- cations and athletics. The opportunity was presented and the student body took the ball and ran with it. Joe Jordan scrambles for the ball dur- ing the reserve versus Wayne game. Senior Cindy Keener untangles lights for the Student Council Christmas tree.

The huge complex that began the year as Northrop and a stranger grew to be Northrop and a friend. There was a niche for everyone. That is the real advantage of a large school. It gives everyone a chance to succeed. Scholars had the classroom, musicians had the band and orchestra, athletes had the sports, and there were just hundreds of special interest activities. There was photo- graphy, shop, literature, science, gym, history, an d dozens of other slots to find. We had roles for the leaders and for the followers, we had jobs for the bold and the bashful, we had chances for the quick and the slow. For those who wanted, there were even places for the apathetic and the complainers. It was a year that we were proud of... cross country, football, marching band, speech, choirs, hockey, drama, and dozens of other activities brough back trophies and honor to the school. And hundreds of others who did not get the gilt of trophies brought back honor with the way they had represented the school. There were thousands of students who showed that they were ladies and gentle- men and that their conduct and attitudes should reflect well on the school that helped teach them.. Nothrop is proud to share the pride of the parents in our people. Ilic viirsily loolball tt ' ;ini s;oos oiii against Snider ' s Panthers in tlie big SAC game of the season.
