EAR TRACKS 964 Northrop High School 7001 Cold Water Rood Fort Wayne, Indiana 46625 Volume 13 Northrop - Going Places From the outside of the stadi- um, one would have thought that a football game was raging to some victorious climax. Each shout, cheer, and clap reflected the enthusiasm of a winning team. However, it was the marching band that filled the football field as they listened to Mayor Moses speak. Not only did the mayor ' s dec- laration that 1983- ' 84 stood as the Year of the Bruin sum up the band ' s performance — it summed up the whole year. Fort Wayne saw Northrop going places in everything. The Bru- ins even lead in philanthropy by topping all previous WOWO Penny Pitch totals with $8,115. Team after team and group after group kept Northrop going . . .

Going Through It Together . . On the subject of teamwork, the inspiration ran rampant as the Bruins ran away with count- less achievements. Fall brought the best football season ever with a first-time trip to the sectionals. The volleyball team won their sectional and the Big Orange Pride won the state champion- ship — a first for Fort Wayne as well as Northrop. A sectional title also came to the girl ' s golf team and both cross-country teams sprinted to 4th place respectively in the state. Boy ' s basketball began a terrific season by winning the SAC tournament and the lady cagers placed 2nd in their SAC. It seemed no team was to meet with a bad season, at least not while the spirit surged . . . inHVHIl Sophomore Shannon Griffith blazes down the ice during the Northrop-Dwenger hockey game. photo by Steve Hug Above - Varsity cheerleaders and the new spirit- Right - A capacity crowd cheers on the Bruins to leaders pose together for a group portrait, photo their first Homecoming victory since 1977. photo by Steve Hug by Steve Hug Opening — 5 Going On Alone Through determined indivi- duals, Northrop gained the fame it did. The football players, like All-State team member senior Jamie Ashton, built the founda- tions of the great teams. Senior Laura Didion lead the girls ' cross-country team with her first place in state. Not all merit came from athle- tic ability. Six of the National Merit Scholarship semi-finalists came from Northrop. Many tal- ented seniors in the fine arts and academic areas won scholarships to various universities, f or in- stance, drama and music student Vicky Stoll won a talent grant to Northwestern University. Individual, team, and school success filled the year. With ev- ery achievement, Northrop nev- er did or ever will stop . . . going places.

Even the regulation jeans and shirt has become updated, with jeans turning up in shades of black and gray, striped in white and even pink and purple. Although many would tend to dis- agree, some feel the fashion conscious- ness has been raised at Northrop. Peo- ple are having much more fun with fashion, especially with the arrival of the Merry-Go-Round, commented ju- nior Jenny Wellman. However, the preppy look remained a prominent fashion trend. The peren- nial favorite wool sweater was updated by argyles and bow ties. Sleevless v- neck vests were also very popular. Influenced by MTV and the clothes store Merry-Go-Round, a growing num- ber of students dared to break from the conservative attitude and branched into trend-setting styles. Turquiose stockings, ripped Japenese t-shirts, pink canvas shoes and jean jackets em- blazoned with buttons of favorite rock groups found themselves on those brave enough to endure strange looks and ridicule by others less open-minded. As always with a large shcool, any one style did not prevail. Many, though, showed that fashion is an indi- vidual statement, written by Elana Crane Junior Kim Gaines combines her classic red wool sweater and white turtleneck with a blue and white striped mini-skirt and red patent-leather ballet flats, photo by Elana Crane Displaying the variety of new fashion styles, sophomore Sandy Askins reflects the easy-going casualness of a jean jacket and denim mini-skirt, while junior Bob Wellman opts for a solid black outfit, and junior Wendy Meyers dresses in a styl- ish striped jumpsuit, photo by Elana Crane 10 — Fashion Left — Freshman JelT Charltun and junior Andre Browning show that lies have not gone out ol style, photo hy Elana Crane Kelow — Juniors Jenny Wcllman exhibits her riair for fashion with a gray and black striped jacket and black pants, photo by F.lann Crane t Hair Do its dye it Dangle-y Earrings 1 OkJ Sweatshirt- Xr . sweat, optional t ' Wtu 0 Welder ' s Helmet- toptkxiall Black Bar Gloves gg fc Leather Mini-skirt Legwarmers Pumps.

' The Age of Computers. ' This is the feeling of Alan Rupp, Northrop Computer teach- er. Considering that the computer in- dustry is relatively new, blooming just five or six years ago, our lives are al- ready being caught up in this whirlwind of excitement. Since the spring semester of the 1975- 76 school year, Northrop has offered computer courses, with approximately 200 students taking advantage of them each semester. Rupp says, We have a very good computer system compared to other high schools, but next year we will have a much bigger and better sys- tem. This system turned out to be the VAX 11 750, made by Digital Equip- ment Corporation, the second largest computer company in the world. There are fewer than ten high schools in the nation with a system having equal com- puting power. Each of the seven high schools in the Fort Wayne Community Schools has a system similar to North- rop ' s. When all of these computers are linked together, no other high school system in the nation has comparable equipment. The computer course is divided into two one-semester classes. Introduction to Computer Programming and Ad- vanced Computer Programming. In the introductory class, students learn to write programs, learn the workings of the computer and what the computer can and cannot do. In the advanced class, students stress data manipulation in files and learn additional program- ming techniques. Rupp says that he enjoys teaching computer programming because, It is a challenge to keep up with the new tech- nology. It is also an opportunity to pro- vide students with a vast amount of in- formation to help them in life. All stu- dents need to know a suitable amount of information about computers to get along in life. Rupp also feels that ev- eryone, whether interested in program- ming or not, should learn all that they can about computers because it is good training. As said before, the computer industry has just recently exploded into a mania that leaves no one untouched. Mr. Ply- ley, a sales representative from Compu- terland, said, There has been a steady increase of interest from the beginning . . . mostly because of heresay, and also because people don ' t want to be left out. Businesses use them to become more productive. One local businessman ex- plained that he bought a computer to help him in his business to become more efficient. But the computer isn ' t just for busin- esses. More and more companies are making it possible for home owners to enjoy the convenience of a computer through a wider range of prices and sizes. The computer is indeed becoming more and more a part of our lives, with more people than ever making, pro- gramming, repairing, teaching about, and learning about computers. New functions are being discovered every day. Elmhurst teacher, Carter Lohr, summed it up. The sky ' s the limit as to what the computer can do for us, he said, written by Jeff Wunrow Sophomore Rick Shaffer, intently studying his [J materials, enters a program into the terminal.

Computer Feature — 13 Lost In The Feeling Of Victory In the pouring rain on a chilling Oc- tober night, wet but spirited fans bun- dled up as they watched the climatic game. Though half-time saw a Bruin lead of 21-0, the slaughter of the Snider Panthers wasn ' t over. The massacre raged on, finally ending with a breath- less run for a single touchdown by the Panthers. If that sounded strange, it ' s because it is a description of the 1977 Northrop Homecoming game, the last time Nor- throp won their homecoming. In reali- ty, it was not Snider, but the Bishop Luers Knights. The night was warm, clear, and dry. Only one major item stayed the same in both years — the winner. Northrop, after four years of loss, won their homecoming game 21-9. Just as in 1977, the fans came in spirit-filled crowds, adding an exciting end to an unusual week. The unusual week began with But- tons, Sweats, and Sunglasses Day. Many students participated because the apparel was easily found. Every kind fo button from Garfield to I Love Buns showed u p. Some even wore large size sunglasses to read the buttons better. Lick ' em activities were incorporated into the day as cheerleaders sold Toot- sie Pops three for a quarter. A new kind of day was inaugurated on Tuesday. Favorite Sport Day catered to all the athletes, both participating and sideline. Even a few fishermen couldn ' t find that ultimate tuna, some of them came back on Wednesday dressed as New Wave. Amid the safety pins, orange heads, and mini skirts, the teachers dressed in fifties style. Mr. Ron Kuhn, math teacher, even exhibit- ed his senior cords. All this made Rock- and-RoU Day a success for both old and new music fans. The Beach Boys are a part of both generations of music lovers and the group would have felt right at home on Surf Day (Hawaiian style). Highlight- ing the day was a beach party held in the Commons before school. Senior Brad Reinking even ran around shout- ing Surfs up through the basking crowd of beach towel bums. Mr. Schwab ' s and Mr. Laurie ' s homeroom tied for the winners of the Door-Deco- ration contest, each class receiving a breakfast in their room. Thursday night brought the tradi- tional Powder-Puff football game. The winner of the qualifying game played earlier in the week. The juniors shared the field with the seniors in Thursday ' s final. In a close game, the junior team won out, 12-6. Following the game, a bonfire helped to warm a cool October night in the west field behind the stadi- um. Student Council members served free popcorn and apple cider. Besides the victorious Homecoming football game, other important things happened on Friday. At the pep session on Friday morning, WMEE jocks pre- sented Northrop with their High School Football Team of the Week tro- phy, actually awarded several weeks be- fore. At halftime of the game, senior Laura Didion received the Homecoming Queen crown. Don Hendrick, Varsity football player, bore his crown deeming him Mr. Irrestable. To celebrate the win over Luers, stu- dents let go on the commons dance floor after the game to the music and lights of Unique Lighting and Sound. Though the music, fads, and facts were different than 1977, the enthusiasm and spirit stayed the same. Everyone was in a wonderful dream lost in the feeling of victory, written by Kim Simpson The 1983 Homecoming Courl: Row 1 Icll to Belcher, senior, -Julie Holing.

Somehow local, state, and federal gov- ernments have failed to escape their sterotypes, but the student government at Northrop has tried their best. One of the student council ' s main goals was to change the student body ' s opinion of them. Student council president senior Joe Hyndman felt, In the past, student council members were considered to be teacher ' s pets. But I think the council this year was able to change opinion! One of the ways the council tried to change the unfavorable ideas involved opening up the administration to the student ' s ideas. A suggestion box ap- peared outside the main office in Janu- ary. However, according to Joe, there weren ' t many constructive suggestions until later in the year. Another successful new legislation made by the student council was an opening announcement option. It gave the student body a chance to take Mr. Brown ' s place doing the morning an- nouncements. Though response came slowly, several students took the h by the end of the year. Besides a new few ideas, the trad tional council activities continued i excellent style. The services of seliin spirit items and planrting Homecomin week added to activities such as th Save a Turkey, Gobble a Baron Da and a spirit week during basketball se( tionals. A new tradition that began la: year, the Morp, also continued wit more success. Despite the other successful endea ors, the most successful proved to b Penny Pitch. Through the sale Arby ' s coupon books, class competitior and many club and group donations a all-time high total of $8515 became th 1983 contribution to WOWO Penn Pitch.

Student Council — 17 Paradoxical Prom A 2nd Time Hit With toilet paper streaming down from above (and laying below), old newspapers strewn about the floor, and dead flowers placed on tables in the cafeteria, approximately 150 couples danced the night away on Friday, March 23, at Northrop ' s second annual MORP. The MORP, which was sponsored by the senior class, was everything the PROM wasn ' t. The idea was to do everything back- wards. First, the girl asked the guy to go. If he said yes, they figured out what they would be wearing. Then on the night of the MORP, she took him out to dinner to the cheapist, scummiest, most lowdown place she could find (if they could stand it), and then off to the dance they went. Once there, couples found the com- mons looking a mess, girls dressed like guys, guys dressed like girls, couples wearing identical outfits, and couples dressed in the shabbiest or most outra- geous clothes they could possibly find. WMEE disc jockey Tony Richards sup- plied the tunes and a photographer from Watter ' s Studio was there to take pictures of couples who wanted them. Free pop and chips were available in the cafeteria. One of the chaperones, Bob Walleen, commented, It looked like everyone was having a lot of fun. Sometimes that ' s not the case at school dances, but this one was different. Instead of having a queen like the PROM, the highlight of the evening was the crowning of the MORP King. Senior John Bohn snatched the crown, and had a court consisting of seniors George Dunn, Scott Hankey, Brad Reinking, and Andy Ribar. It was the best thing that could have happened to me, said Bohn. I can ' t understand the sudden popularity ... I feel like a Cab- bage Patch Doll. I just wonder, he ad- ded, is the MORP King a soveriegn monarch or just a meaningless figure head? written by Tiffaney Davidson.

The stakes are small, but so are the winnings. It ' s all in a Friday night in March at Northrop. The Junior Class Carnival has be- come a tradition, anxiously expected every year as a night of inexpensive fun. It earns money for the junior class and for the many clubs that operate booths. This year ' s carnival entertained over 600 people. As quoted in What ' s Bruin, Mrs. Stephanie Bourne, junior class sponsor, commented, Since the first carnival, many people have come and enjoyed themselves. That is a good thing to see. Most of the usual games and booths were back. The ever popular cake walk and sucker tree offered eatable prizes, while tiddly winks and the Softball throw offered teddy bears and spirit items. The jail became more realistic this year, as it was covered with orange paper, only having a small barred window for the innocent criminal to look out. Junior Lisa Bloom said, There were so many different age groups, from lit- tle kids of five or six to parents. Also, it ran very smoothly. You didn ' t have to wait long. According to Mrs. Bourne, the carnival did run smoothly, grossing near $200. Eighty percent went to the clubs and twenty percent went to the junior class for the junior senior Prom. Both a money-maker and a source of inexpensive fun, the carnival will hope- fully continue. The games and booths may change, but the excitement and fun will stay the same, written by Kim Simpson.

Junior Class Carnival — 21 Victorian Theme Is Chosen For ' 84 Prom Prom night has always been one evening out of the year reserved for the imagination. Endless hours of planning have gone into making this evening spe- cial. Decisions range from the selection of that perfect dress and the coordi- nating color of the flashy tux to match, to the most exquisite dining place. Not only had a lot of time been put into the prom by about 500 students, but also by the teachers who all made it happen. As Mrs. Stephanie Bourne ex- plained, The junior class sponsors, Mr. Laslie, Mrs. Vonderlage, Mr. Richard- ville, and myself, along with the junior class officers and Mr. Brown, were mainly responsible for organizing the prom. This included decorating by Armstrong Flowers and arranging for refreshments. The atmosphere was chosen to repre- sent taking a step back in time with a Victorian setting including doormen, and music ranging from a live band, to records played by a disc jockey. Most couples danced a majority of the even- ing, only stopping for refreshments and the crowning of the prom queen, senior Vicky Stoll. The overall evening being named, We ' ve Got Tonight and the theme song, Hello , chosen by the student body, fit the evening well. The night was for many couples, a night of imagi- nation which became reality, and a night not soon to be forgotten, written by Lisa Bloom Left — Senior Todd Jacquay surprises his partner with a kiss during a romantic dance.

Place: Memorial Coliseum. Occasion: Northrop High School Commencement, 1984. Orange and white flowers adorn the stage and entrance where 579 young adults took the most important steps of their lives. The graduating class of 1984 is gone now, but their memories linger on in the halls of Northrop. Four years of struggles and dreams have finally come true for them. This year ' s commencement exercises went smoothly and completely in order. The 579 graduates filed into their seats, full of anticipation and pride, during the traditional graduation march Pomp and Circumstance . They were lead by John Bohn and Caroline Satre, valedictorian and salutatorian, respec- tively. Principal Dennis McClurg told a calm, respectful audience that the young adults seated before them were truly champions. In their last year at Northrop, they won seven S.A.C. cham- pionships, six sectional championships, two regional championships, State in cross country, one semi-state Cham- pionship, and the Boy ' s All Sports Award. The class of 84 heralded more Na- tional Merit Finalists than any other Below: Mike Keller, Steve Hug (front), Kelley Dougherty, Kym Graves, Laura Didion, and Jennifer DeVille (back) pose for a picture as Amy Finger and Robin Ferguson look on. class in history at Northrop. They were the only ones who will ever celebrate the title, The Year of the Bruin . Seniors Holly Haines and John Bohn delivered the commencement speeches to the class and the audience. They won the honor of giving these farewell speeches earlier in the year in a contest sponsored by the senior class. Holly Haine ' s speech focused on their fresh- man year and the feeling that we ' d never make it . Said Haines, The class of 84 has had a lot of choices. The choice of classes, the choice of friends, the choice of activities and most impor- tantly, the choice of succeeding or fail- ing. Valedictorian John Bohn said in his speech, We are on the threshold of the finest future we ' ll ever face. It ' s a time to drive on and build the future. But we must also remember to slow down and enjoy the present. The class of 1984 is one not to be easily forgotten. With their hands and minds they will help mold mankind ' s future. Their class motto proves that the class of 84 will indeed be leaders and champions. We will not follow where the path may lead, But we will go where there is no path and leave a trail. written by Brenda Hagan.

But despite the fantastic year in competition, they wanted a fantastic social and academic year as well. To do this, the senior class officers kept their ears open to suggestions from their class mates. Senior class treasurer Caroline Moellering said, We were ap- proached by many students and friends concerning things they wanted accom- plished. Some of the suggestions were carried through by again having a Morp, which was a hugh success. Graduation was, as usual, one of the smoothest to be held in Fort Wayne. But regardless of the success or failure of the year as a whole, the seniors were continually the leaders of excitement and spirit as they have traditionally been.

Senior Angie Johnson, a lone Bruin bear in a school of Bruin fans, used to begin her performances routinely be- fore every Northrop home game. As time went on, however, she wasn ' t just a girl in a bear costume; Angie became the bear. For the four years of Angle ' s high school life she portrayed the true spirit of a Northrop Bruin. Angie got her in- spiration from her older brother, Shan- non Johnson (class of 1980), the pre- vious mascot. Angie didn ' t take any instruction to learn the art of being a mascot. It came, more or less, naturally. Angie did say, Sometimes I did see a video before a game and it stuck in my head, but most- ly it was a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing. Angle ' s favorite sports to perform for were football and basketball due to the generally high spirit of the crowds. The hardest sport was baseball because of the heat.

I photo by Doug Laslie I wanted to come to America because I wanted to meet new people, to do new things, and to see different sights, commented senior German-exchange student Peter Harter. I enjoy it here in America especially because there aren ' t a lot of activities for high school stu- dents to become involved in in Ger- many. After the decision to come to Amer- ica, Peter had to pass an English profi ciency test and explain his reasons for wanting to come to officials of the For- eign Exchange Student Department of Germany. He was then able to come to America. Once here, Peter became a member of sophomore Wilma Wieg- mann ' s family and of the Northrop family for a year. Peter liked Amer- ica, commented Ruth Wiegmann, He enjoyed playing Atari games, going to the malls and to the movies, and he loved pizza. Also, she explained that she wanted Peter to be able to see a lot of the sights in the United States. Peter took short trips to placed like the Marble Hill Nu- clear Plant in Michigan, which he was very interested in. Since Peter ' s parents were present for his graduation from Northrop, thev also took him to New York. As Ruth concluded, He ' s a neat young man who adjusted very well to our styles of living and made himself right at home in America. written by Lisa Bloom.

Working with the varsity cheer- leaders, the spirit leaders put together many difficult partner stunts such as the T-bird, the needle, the swing, and the overhead straddle. Beside the group moves with the girl ' s squad, the spirit leaders perfected a few of their own arts. One of them, the funky chicken , became a favorite of the student body as Freck commented, The chicken ad- ded a ' different ' approach to cheering and it seemed like the students really enjoyed it. Being a spirit leader also involved helping make signs to raise school spirit, participating in numerous practices with the girls, and attending all the games. Because of the time and dedication involved in being a spirit leader, try-outs have been scheduled for next year in order to keep the idea alive, Seniors Todd Jacquay and Mike Horman, as members of the spirit leaders, proved that spirit was the concern of everyone.

Then, Beginning with the tenth high- est grade point average holder, Kristine M. Raupfer, each of the Top-Ten stu- dents and their parents stood on the platform. As the senior sponsors read a little bit about each one ' s academic his- tory and personality, the subject some- times flushed red and the parents beamed proudly. When member three, Christopher M. Scott left the stage, it was time for the top two scholars to be presented with their respective plaques. Seniors John L. Bohn and Caroline L. Satre went through the same embarassfng exper- ience as the rest of the Top Ten, but had the pleasure of seeing their names in metal on the plaque in the main hall. Valedictorian John L. Bohn has been a Tri-Kappa scholar, having received other honors such as placing fifth in the nation in the American Scholastic Math Association Test, and being cho- sen Northrop ' s representative to Hoo- sier Boys ' State. John was an outstand- ing French student and enjoys writing, camping, and juggling. He decided to attend the University of Chicago to pursue math and theoretical physics. The Salulatorian, Caroline L. Satre, was also a Tri-Kappa scholar. Caroline was the Secretary Treasurer of the sen- ior class. Being involved in Charisma, the Big Orange Pride, orchestra, and three musicals, she also received a Presidential Scholarship from Valpar- aiso University and has planned to at- tend there, majoring in liberal arts. Other members of the Top Ten were, in order of scholastic ranking: Audrey Baur, Mark Hittie, Wendy Albers- meyer, Beth C.orsuch, Donna Coo|)er, Virginia Gater. The Class of 1984 distinguished themselves by having among their ranks more National Merit Scholarship Finalists than any other class in the history of the .school. In addition, more seniors than ever were recognized at the honors banquet as 66 outstanding stu- dents received certificates from Mr. McCiurg. written by Kirn Simf s( n.

Showing strength and determination, the Bruin varsity team posted the best season in the school ' s history with a 9-1 regular season record. Head coach Buzz Doerffler felt that, A lot of togetherness accounted for the success of the team. Ashton added, We had a lot of talented athletes, but more importantly, we played as a team. With the temperatures reaching the 90 ' s in the humid August days, the team opened its season by shutting out state- ranked Richmond. A week later they followed suit and shut out Kokomo, 21- 0. North Side fell to the Bruin gridders, 27-6. As the season progressed, a more positive attitude developed. Ashton re- marked, If you ' re mentally psyched up, you can beat the other team. This feeling surfaced at the Northrop-Snider game which was played before a stand- ing room only crowd. In the last two minutes of the game, senior quarter- back threw a pass to senior Bob McHenry resulting in a 59 yard touch- down run to defeat the Panthers, 15-9. Coach Doerffler felt this game gave him the most satisfaction because of the strong rivalry between the two schools and that, It meant so much to the kids. Senior tackle Brian Bittner ad- ded, We ' d never beaten them but we knew we ' d have to beat them to go to the play-offs. After this triumph, the team took on Bishop Dwenger. However, the impreg- nable Saints virtually dominated the field, soundly defeating the Bruins. Next, the team successfully conquered Elmhurst, Terra Haute North, and Bishop Luers. Coach Doerffler felt the team reached its peak at the Luers game. It was a complete football game that night, he remarked. All the parts went together. The team ended its season with two shut-outs, earning a new school record for shut-outs and a chance to play in the state tournament — another first in the school history. In the opening game of the sectionals, Northrop took on Penn at Mishawaka. The Kingsmen outplayed the Bruins and defeated them, 34-7. Although the team lost, Bittner felt that making it to the play-offs, Paved the way for future Bruin teams. Doerffler mused that it was, Pretty neat to end the season 9-1 with the competition they faced. He concluded, We had the roughest and toughest schedule ever played at Northrop. w- ritten by Elana Crane Coach Buzz Doerffler gives junior Maurice Nel- son the next plan of acXXon.

Fight to win together was more than a chant, it was a motto for the 1983 Sectional champs. From the beginning of the year Head Coach Mary Aldrich knew the team would do well; even become Sectional Champs. She commented, I feel the reason we did so well was because of our six seniors and their consistency and leadership. The leadership, headed by senior captains Lisa Zehr and Peggy Stone, brought the team not only to the Sec- tional Champsionhip, but to a good overall record of 16-6 and SAC record of 5-4. Coach Aldrich said, I would consid- er this one of my best years since I have been coaching. The reason for that is because I have had this group all of the way through. I coached this year ' s sen- iors when they were freshmen. Co-captain Peggy Stone felt the 1982- 83 season was really a learning year be- cause the team only had one senior but this year they had the whole team back. She stated, There was no one that stood out. We were an equal team. It was not just one person, it was a team effort. This was definitely my, and the team ' s best year. Speaking about the reserve team, coach Aldrich commented, Although there were a lot of changes and learning to be done, this reserve season was one of our better ones. The kids played real well and learned a lot. The final over- all record was 12-6 and the SAC record was 5-3. The reserve captains were Ju- nior Sandy Wilson, who played varsity Varsity Volleyball Scoreboard NHSv s. Carroll 15-2, 12-15, 15-7 — W NHS V s.

Kevin Pensinger, Greg Robbins, Troy Wall, Jamie Chavis, Rich Johnson, Rog Johnson, Mark Knuckles, Kevin Siler, Mike Renforth, Coach Peterson Harriers Believe And Achieve As the leaves turned russet shades of autumn oranges and golds, seniors Rod Jones and Brad Reinking, in their own copper-colored uniforms and mis- matched orange and yellow socks, pulled out of the pack to tie for first place in the SAC meet. The two led the Bruins to their eleventh SAC title. Half way through the race we came together and decided to take it in as one, explained Jones. The team ' s per- formance, allowed the team to set a new meet record of 19 points, breaking the record of 27 points they had set the previous year. This kind of performance by the har- riers occurred throughout the season. An awful lot of people, as the year began, didn ' t think we had a chance to even return to state, expressed Coach Barrie Peterson. However, h is runners quickly extinguished this notion, start- ing the season by winning the Snider Hokum-Karem. At their own invita- tional, Pensinger won the junior race while Jones and Reinking led the sen- iors to a win in their division, clinching the victory for the Bruins. The harriers remained undefeated in dual-meet competition, placing second in the Cul- ver Invitational, and third in the New Prairie Invitational. Early in the season, injuries plagued the runners. Senior Tom Mills hyper- extended his knee in track the previous season and had to run with a brace all season. During the summer, Reinking pulled a hanstring while water skiing, and Jones hurt his leg in an accident at work. We had kind of a crazy season with illness and injury, asserted Peter- son. It i rohahly took away a little in our overall potential, hut with things as they were, we got everything out of what we could at the time. As the team prepared for the state meet tournament, a series of illnesses afflicted the team. The day before the SAC, Pensinger was sick with a fever. Mills had bronchitis during sectionals, and Randy Widdifield also suffered from Bronchitis entering semi-stale. However, the Bruins remained on top, winning the sectional, regional, and for the first time in Northrop history, the semi-state title. Because of the injury and illness the team had to deal with, Peterson felt that the team ' s mental attitude was stronger than their physical strength. This team was mentally tough, he stated. Reinking declared, The mind pushes much further than pure brute strength. The team went to state feeling confi- dent. They finished fourth, paced by the all-state performances of Reinking and Pensinger. Pensinger, who finished 21st, commented, I was excited about running the state meet series for the first time. I ran my best — I had my best time and my best kick. Reinking felt that he ran his best at state. I put it on the line, he said. My perfor- mance was a consistant and strong- paced race. One thing that set the team apart from past teams was the uniqueness of each runner, especially the antics of Jones and Reinking. Reinking ex- plained that the bright, neon-like socks, Showed our togetherness as seniors. Jones added, They were just part of our character. This year ' s team was made up of more different individual personalities than any other team I ' ve had, admitted Peterson. Sometimes that made it difficult to hold together as a team, but they always came togeth- er as a team when it was time to com- pete. Peterson summed up his last year as a high school coach by reflecting that, Our theme for the year was ' Be- lieve to Achieve ' and I think they did exactly that. written by Elana Crane Left — Senior Rod .Jones picks up his stride as he approaches the finish line at state, photo bv Steve Hug. Mental Attitude Pays Off At State From the burning rays of the summer sun during August practices to the bit- ter cold of the early November state meet, the girls ' cross country team showed its strength and determination with an undefeated record in dual meets. Although they started the season with a disappointing third place in the Snider Hokum-Karem, the lady Harri- ers won their next three meets. After placing third in their own Northrop In- vitational, the Bruin runners remained undefeated until the Sectional. The harriers placed second in the Sectional out of a field of nineteen teams. The following week they won the Regional, and a week later the lady runners cap- tured fourth place at the state meet. Sophomore Heidi Owens in comment- ing about the team ' s performance at state said, Everyone got their best times and accomplished what they set out to do. Coach Janel Denny felt the team did well through the season and stated that this was, by far the best team in the school ' s history. She added that the main factor that created strength of this team was the number of exper- ienced runners who returned from last year. One of the returning runners was sen- ior Laura Didion. After coming so close to winning the state championship in her three previous years, Didion fin- ished first, with a time of 10:10.5. She exclaimed, I couldn ' t believe it. Every- body was coming up and hugging me ... it was great. Coach Denny assert- ed, When you ' ve coached someone for four years and they ' ve gotten so close, it ' s nice to see her come out on top. Another factor that determined the intensity of the team was its closeness. Senior Melisa Lendman remarked, We ' ve always had a close team but this one was a lot younger and that just made us work harder to keep everyone ' s mental attitude up. Coach Denny felt as Lendman and added, They seemed to care about each other. They gave each other support. liatsj mjSTm ' 9 mgrsamm .

After losing their opening matches, Coach -Jim Keim shuffled positions on the team, which resulted in a 4-1 victo- ry over Wayne. The netters also won their next match against Northside, 3-2. Briefly set back by a l-. ' i loss to Elm- hurst, the team shut out Leo and con- tinued by overcoming their next three opponents; Bishop Dwenger, Harding, and Huntington. In their final regular season match, the netters soundly thwarted Concor- dia, 5-0. However, the team didn ' t fare as well in the sectional. The netters were eliminated in the first round, 2-3. Although the team finished their play for the season, number one singles player, junior Steve Flowers continued to win sectionals, and advanced to semi-state. Flowers defeated Doug Powell of Jay County in the first round of the semi-state, 6-0, 6-3, but Charles Hamori of Muncie North overcame Flowers in the second round, 6-4, 6-0. Flowers asserted that getting a chance to compete in the semi-state, capped off a good season. Flowers ' game improved immensely from last season, when he finished 5-9, as compared to 13-4 for the 1983 season. He cited his consistency, his serve, and his mental attitude (I didn ' t throw my racket at all!) as areas in which he ad- vanced, although he admitted My mental game still needed a lot of work. Coach Jim Keim commented that Flowers, got tougher every match . The number one doubles team of sen- ior Matt Lerer and junior Dan O ' Reilly also improved finishing the season 8-3. Lerer thought that they progressed well as a team but added, We should have come through in some situations that we didn ' t. Satisfied with the team ' s accomplish- ments, Coach Keim admitted, however, We fell down in a few places we shouldn ' t have. written by Elana Crane Above left — Number one singles player junior Steve Flowers smiles as he returns the haW.

Coach Dave Rilev. Lady Linksters Post Undefeated Season Because of the balance of our team, we all expected a successful year, said Coach David Riley. Their expectations were met as the linksters went 13-0, the best record in the history of the girls ' golf program at Northrop. Coach Riley ' s goals for the season were to win the Northrop Invitational and qualify for state. The linksters went one better by winning the Hun- tington Invitational as well as the Nor- throp tourney. As for the latter part of his expectations, the Bruins won the Sectional and placed fifth in the Re- gional. Junior Stephanie Becker, who with the rest of the lady Bruins, played a big part in making Coach Riley expecta- tions become reality, had a lot to smile about this year. Besides virtually domi- nating the area girl ' s golf scene, Steph- anie set a new school scoring record for nine holes. Though Stephanie has another year with the team, the ' 83 season was the last for seniors Chris Keske and Paule McAbee. Chris and Paula have both im- proved considerably over the years and both played vital roles in the Bruins ' successful year. Adding to the Bruin linksters ' success was the increase in recognition for the program on a city-wide level. With the addition of three teams to the SAC in the past two years and the stren gthen- ing of the competition, girls ' golf has become more popular around Fort Wayne and the surrounding areas. With this in mind, no one can ignore the fact that the high school girls ' golf program has the potential to become one of the leading sports in the state. And so far, Northrop has played a big part in it. written by Matt Bair Sophomore Lynn Morris searches the sky for her golf ball, photo by Tract Karr. 62 — Girl ' s Golf ilow — During the Girl ' s Golf Sectionals, senior iris Keske uses a chip shot to get onto the green. boto by Matt Lerer Bottom Left — Junior Stephanie Becker waits with anticipation to see if her putt drops, photo bv Trade Karr Above — .Junior Jennifer Bodkin concentrates on her putt as she attempts a par. photo by Traci Karr GIRL ' S GOLF SCOREBOARD Northrop — 188 Bluffton - 230 Northrop — 188 Warsaw — 223 Northrop — 197 Warsaw — 223 Northrop — 177 Columbia City — 195 Northrop — 186 East Noble — 219 Northrop — 186 North Side — 225 Northrop — 192 Huntington — 227 Northrop Invitational — 1st Northrop — 189 Elmhurst — 233 Huntington Invitational — 1st Northrop — 184 Snider — 194 Northrop — 184 Bishop Luers — 234 1 - Northrop — 182 Leo - 215 flm Northrop — 182 Northside — 209 Northrop — 167 Carroll - 206 Sectional — 1st Regional — 5th .vlt...

On F ' riday and Saturday nights fans fill gymnasium stands to support their team. The cheers, the screaming, the rowdiness that engulfs the crowd is all directed toward helping the team to victory. A.C. Eldridge, the basketball coach, re- marked, I think our fans did a real fine job in following us this season and the players and I really appreciate it. In preparation for the weekend games, the team practices for two and a half hours every night after school. Ju- nior Dan Howe described these prac- tices as very physical, elucidating that being elbowed or knocked down several times during a practice game was not uncommon. He added, Because every- body was good, practices were tough. Senior Steve Fortenberry agreed with Howe, but offered, Through all that hard work you learn a lot about your ch aracter and the people you play with. The varsity cagers started the season with two victories, overcoming DeKalb and Northside. Briefly set back by South Bend Adams, the team succeeded in defeating its next three opponents. Entering the SAC Holiday Tournament with a record of 5-1, the Bruins con- quered Concordia, Elmhurst, and Har- ding for the tourney championship. As the season progressed, the team increased its winning streak to thirteen games. This long run was finally inter- rupted by back-to-back losses to South Side and Huntington. One week earlier, however, the Bruins trampled the Mar- ion Giants, in a game many of the play- ers termed as the season ' s best. As ju- nior Bruce Brineman expounded, The four starters had fouled out and the players from the bench pulled together and won the game. Coach Eldridge commented that the team had, showed a lot of courage. After the two game mar on their win- ning streak, the cagers ended the season with three victories, finishing the regu- lar year by defeating Bishop Dwenger for the SAC title. Entering the sectional with a season record of 18-3 and two championships to their credit, the Bruins ccmfidentiy routed the Bishop Luers Knights in the first round, setting a school record for scoring, as well as a new sectional scor- ing record. The cagers faced South Side and successfully outplayed the archers for the Sectional I title. The team end- ed its tourney play in the first round of the regional as the Elmhurst Trojans edged the Bruins by a disappointing two points. Eldridge reflected on the season, I know the players felt we wanted to do more and yet we have to realize that even though we didn ' t do all we wanted to do, we won more championships than any other team since 1974. Looking back on the year, Eldridge noted that he was pleased with the accomplishments the team made, but added, I was not satisfied with all phases of the game, but I ' m pleased with the progress that was made by many of our players. They were willing to give of themselves for the good of the team.

He commented, I feel, that, as a team, we made improvements and reached a point of excellence. Fortenberry echoed Eldridge ' s thoughts, noting, We had more experience than in other years and we had greater depth. All ten players would play and play well. Many of the players felt that a team closeness also contributed to the Bru- in ' s electrifying on-court presence. Brineman explained that before a game the team members met at someone ' s house to eat and talk about the game and what it would take it to win. Sen- ior standout Alan Smith added, We interacted with each other all the time. Despite the success of the team this season, Eldridge felt that a winning sea- son isn ' t the most important thing in basketball. He stated, I hope they (the players) understand that basketball is not as important as the individuals that they ' re associated with. I think, he stressed, while they ' re playing, I would like for them to realize there is a competition and that life presents con- stant challenges and they should never be afraid to accept these challenges and put their abilities to the test. written by Elana Crane.

Reserve Underclass Basketball — 67 Team Effort; Hand In Hand With Success After a brief pause during a time-out, the small cluster of girls breaks up and returns to the basketball game already in progress. Each girl, now having a fresh outlook on the game strategy, moves into her position on the floor. Playing defense or offense, passing, re- bounding, or shooting, each girl stren- eously covers her spot. Through the to- tal team effort strung together by each girl, yet another game is won for the lady Bruins. Reflecting on the extremely success- ful season of girl ' s basketball, the phrase team effort seemed to show up again and again. As senior Debbie Wag- goner expressed, We didn ' t always have just one star player. Everyone had their strong points that contributed to our success as a well rounded and bal- anced team. Senior Lisa Zehr added, Everyone was so eager to learn and to become better ball players. As the season progressed, the growth of the team went hand in hand with success. Having the best record ever of 18 wins and 3 losses, the ladies devel- oped further in both skill and confi- dence as a team. As coach Dave Riley commented with a smile, Besides hav- ing our best season ever, it was also the first time that we captured the title of SAC champs. Even though three losses occured after Christmas — two to Snider and one to Dwenger — the team remained confident because of the previous wins over both teams. Later, the ladies ad- vanced to sectionals where they placed runners-up to Snider, thus ending a most successful season. The season proved to be one of steady development for the players, elaborated Riley, It was especially evi- dent in the younger team members.

The Northrop Bruin Grapplers are warming up for their last match. They know the months of practice will show today. Soon it will be one on one — wrestler against wrestler. The best man will win. It has taken them months of at least two-hour-a-night practices to get this far. They have toned their minds and bodies to be as sharp as possible. The moves have to be natural because there is no time to evaluate the next move while on the mat. The 1983-84 wrestling season went better than expected according to Head coach Mike Danley. Due the loss of sev- en varsity members, leaving only six varsity experienced wrestlers on the team, the season started off weak. At the beginning of the season there were empty spots in some weight classes so the people in the weight class 98-138 lbs dropped down a class. After this drop the team strengthened. We really did well, the team was really together this year. If it wasn ' t for a couple of matches we would have been the SAC Champs, stated senior Bob Henry. The team did prove to be second best in the confer- ence and placed second in the SAC tournament. Ten out of thirteen wres- tlers had winning records and the team was Sectional champs. With only two years of varsity exper- ience senior John Nellums wrestled his way to the state meet. When asked if he expected John to make it to state Coach Danley replied, No, I felt he would have a successful season, but I didn ' t think he had enough experience to make it down to state. It only goes to show what a coach knows. John lost his first match at state but was still satisfied to make it that far. John did say, On any given day any wrestlers could be beaten. I wrestled my best and was beaten. Maybe tomorrow I could beat him. Wrestling is fast becoming a popular sport in high school. The attendance gets bigger each year and the student involvement is better, Mr. Danley said. John Nellums expressed his opin- ion on the school support, We get a lot of support from people during the school day, but during the matches they don ' t show-up. Maybe since the team is getting so much better we ' ll get the sup- port we deserve. by Chris Sullivan.

Season highlights included only four losses and three gymnasts be- ing named to the All-SAC team. Junior Laurie Bordner, one of these girls, com- mented on the season. What we lacked in quantity we made up for in quality, she said. The team ' s season record of ten wins and four losses was outstanding, in light of the fact that there were only eight members of the team. The lack of inter- est in gymnastics at the beginning of the school year was a serious problem, and many announcements were made to attract girls to the introductory ton- ing practices. Bordner explained, A lot of people think they won ' t make the team because they think they ' re not good enough. Head coach Ron Long commented on this situation, It was a fairly good year, but it ' s too bad there aren ' t more people participating. Long felt that a big cause of this lack of par- ticipation was a rule set forth by cheer- leading and pom-pon sponsors, which stated that the girls involved in their programs could not also participate in gymnastics. Long agreed that this avoided conflicts, but also felt that this excluded too many girls from the gym- nastics program. Despite all these setbacks, the team did excellently sending all three of their optional gymnasts to the S.A.C. team, which showed that Northrop had a very strong team. Bordner summed it up. I feel there was a lot of pressure on all of us, (but) . this season as a whole was very good, she concluded.

Bruin leers Progress In ' 84 The 1983-84 hockey season for the Bruin leers was one of maturing and progress. For instance, while the team rolled to an 7-4-3 regular season record, improving from last year ' s 3-7-2 mark, sophomore Brian Guy sharpened his skills to become a first-rate net minder. While he sat out, junior Rob Fudala carried the load for the Bruins. The tre- mendously improved tandem held their opponents to an average of about three goals per game. Sophomore Jimmy Ja- mie Roberson greatly contributed to the squad with his vastly offense pro- duction. Still, junior Bruce Metz showed the most improvement. Though his frame may be rather intimidating, Bruce terrorized opposing goaltenders with his brutal scoring attacks against Hammond-Bishop Noll in the State Playoffs. Metz won the team ' s Most Valuable Offensive Player Award this year. The Bruins started out rather slow but towards the latter half of the regu- lar season, Northrop blazed the ice, fin- ishing with a five game unbeaten streak. The icers then charged into the State Playoffs to face their first oppo- nent Hammond-Bishop Noll. Northrop had a field day mauling Hammond 22- 1. The icer ' s hopes for a State Cham- pionship were diminished the following week though as they were beaten in a very emotional contest by the Snider Panthers, 7-6, in overtime. Northrop capped their season in the City Playoffs by losing to the North Side Redskins, 5- 4. In commenting of the 83-84 icers, Coach Colin Lister said, Everybody put out and worked hard. They were an easy group to work with and a pleasure to be around. I was extremely pleased. Colin is looking forward to next year with anticipation. Many of our out- standing players this year will be back next season.

Helping to promote the sport are the many high school teams. In some schools, soccer is a school sport and in others, like Nor- throp, it is only at club level. Even though soccer at Northrop is only a club, it has been very well ac- cepted and has done well. This year ' s team played very well, sporting a 7-3-2 record. The team did well partly be- cause many on the team were seniors. According to Alberto Gonzalez, team captain, they had problems getting players to practice in the early season. The lack of practice hurt against the good teams, he said. But the practice attendance improved, bringing about the first winning soccer record ever. Partly because of the good record, more people came out to watch the games, but more would ' ve helped. Sen- ior player Gary Richardson related, The problem with getting spectators is getting them out the first time. Once they see one game, they see that it ' s more interesting than they thought and they come back. After a successful regular season of 7- 2-2, the team met a tough Bishop Luers team in the first game of the City Tour- nament. Luers turned out to be a stron- ger team and the Bruins lost 5-0. Coach Martyn Blundall related the feeling of the team. They were disappointed, but Bishop Luers had a better bench and they ran us out of steam, he stated. Even though the Bruins didn ' t win the city tournament, they did sport a first-ever winning record and they set a precedent for future teams, written by Kim Simpson SOCCER SCOREBOARD | Northrop 1 Bishop Dwenger 2 Northrop 5 Harding Northrop 5 Huntington North 2 Northrop 2 Warsaw 3 Northrop 1 Wayne 1 Northrop 6 Elmhurst Northrop 3 Columbia City Northrop 2 Snider 2 Northrop 2 North Side Northrop 3 Concordia 1 Northrop 5 New Haven Northrop Bishop Luers 5 Rifjht top - Senior Alberto (ionzalez blocks out his opponent on a drive toward the goal, photo by Steve Hug Right — Larry Smierciak, leaping into the air, keeps the ball from going into Northrop ' s goal. photo by Mike Boeglin.

When the 198.3 IHSAA baseball sea- son had ended, the Bruin diamondsmen had succeeded in capturing the state baseball title. As the ' 84 campaign be- gan, a majority of the members of the championship squad had returned, rais- ing optimism throughout the state as well as Northrop High School. Coach Chris Stavreti agreed, commenting, Since most of the same people re- turned for the ' 84 season, we felt that because of our experience we could have a good season, which we did. With a 24-4 regular season record, the a state rank of 12, and an SAC title under their belt, the Bruins entered the Concordia Sectional, and were heavily favored to sweep this important first leg of the championship playoffs. On May 30, Northrop was powered by home runs by senior Jeff Griffith and sophomore Eric Wedge as they won their first ' 84 sectional game by a score of 4-1 over the Snider Panthers. That weekend the Bruins wrapped up their eighth sectional title as they beat the Concordia Cadets 11-8 and the South Side Archers 12-2. This victory made possible the mat- chup that everyone anticipated — Nor- throp versus third-ranked Elmhurst, in a regional confrontation. For the sec- ond year straight, Northrop blocked the Trojans ' path to State as the Bruins handed Elmhurst a 7-3 loss. Later that evening, Northrop advanced to the Michigan City Semi-State as they tamed the Warsaw Tigers in grand style by a 14-3 score. In game one of the semi-state on June 16, it appeared that Northrop would roll over Hammond Bishop Noll as the Bruins jumped on Noll hurler Jerry Hofferth for a triple and a single to take a 1-0 first inning lead. Unfortunately, Northrop ' bats, which were described a mysteriously silenced by the News- Sentinel, could produce only four more hits for the remainder of the game, while Noll scored three runs. Northrop dropped the game 3-1. Their bid for a second consecutive state championship was lost, but the memories of a fine season remain. The attitude of the team has really been excellent, commented Stavreti, as he commented on the season, the kids are very coachable . . . they ' ve had consistant hitting and defense and the desire to improve their baseball skills. Not only had the team ' s attitude been noticed by Stavreti but also by others as Stavreti continued, There have been many compliments from um- p ires and people not associated with Northrop about the good attitude of our team.

After a meet against South Side and Elmhurst, however, the coaches realized their potential. Tram- mel commented, We told them if they worked hard they could win the SAC. The guys responded well. Not only did the team respond will and capture the SAC title, but they were undefeated in dual meets and won the sectional cham- pionship. According to Trammel, leadership and hard work determined the success of the team. The leadership we got out of the seniors was tremendous, he stat- ed, adding that the four team captains — seniors Brian Bittner, Tom Mills, Derrick Greene and junior Maurice Nelson — pushed the team to work harder. We had very organized prac- tice sessions, he remarked. Bittner felt that depth accounted for the team ' s ac- complishments. We scored in almost every event ... a pretty solid team, he commented. Junior Jamie Chavis determined that the support of the coaches helped the team succeed. They were always stay- ing on us, he explained, telling us to keep concentrating on track. Trammel said he was very pleased with the accomplishments of the team. He added that there was constant growth and that the team concentrat- ed on their weaknesses to turn them into strengths. We were climbing the ladder of success, he reflected, At each meet we climbed another rung un- til we were at the top. written by Elana Crane Sophomore Gary Brunson shows his agility in the pole vault competition during a regular season meet, photo by Steve Hug Senior Tom Mills leads the 1600 meter race at the sectional meet, photo by Bill Chavis 82 — Boys Track Left — Senior Anthony Springer shows t;oo(l form as he leaps for good distance in the lont; jump competition, photo by Steve Hug Below — Senior John Clark is caught in mid air as he soars over the high jump har for a school record of 6 ' 10 . photo by Bill Chavis Boys Track Team: Row 1, L to R — Mike Disch, John Tschinski, Roger Johnson, Todd Welch.

The team ' s overall dual meet record was 9-3. After starting the season well, the tracksters continued by placing third in the Richmond Invitational. They then defeated Huntington North and War- saw, Wayne, and Harding, but suffered a loss from South Side. In their own Northrop Invitational, the Bruins placed fourth out of eleven teams. They then lost to Snider but de- feated Dwenger. At the Summit Athletic Conference meet, the tracksters took fifth place in a field of ten teams. The following week they were defeated by Elmhurst but outperformed Concordia. One week later the team captured fourth place out of the seventeen teams at sectionals. Ms. Denny commented that the team performed pretty well. At regionals, however, the team placed a dismal 19th out of 53 teams. Denny ' Tt ' j i rmi: noted, We didn ' t get as many pec)|)le through regionals as I ' d hoped. Junior Michelle Ragsdale and senior Laura Didion qualified for state in the 400-meter run and the 1600-meter run respectively. Laura placed seventh, but said that she was disappointed because she had wanted to place in the top six. She remarked, I did alright (this sea- son), adding that speed work and the amount of competition in the area helped her work harder. Coach Denny felt that the bad spring weather had a large effect on the team ' s performance. She explained that, It ' s hard to motivate kids when it ' s so cold, wet, and yucky. The team, however, showed a lot of improvement, she said, with school records set in the mile re- lay, which consisted of freshman Robin Neal, sophomore Kathy Bradshaw, and juniors Tonia Fields and Michelle Ragsdale. Ragsdale also set a school re- cord in the 400 meter run. To sum up the season, Didion ex- pressed, We did pretty well with what we had. written by Elana Crane Senior Laura Didion keeps her pace while run- ning the 1600 meter race.

Girls Track — 85 State Champions Linksters Bring Crown To Fort The announcer breaks in with a calm, low voice, He needs this putt to keep five under and clinch the lead. He sets it up, he swings, and . . . it ' s in. The large, loyal crowd of spectators cheer for their pro idol; the one they only dream of vivaling when they tee off ev- ery Saturday at 8:00 a.m.. Though the Bruin golfers don ' t at- tract the same following as the pros, they have done very well, finishing the season with the state championship. What really made this season work, ac- cording to Coach Bruce Oliver, was what the pros don ' t have: teamwork. That teamwork became especially important at the state level. With such an individual sport as golf, the real teamwork comes in each golfer doing his personal best for the team and in devoting time and energy. At the state tournament the Bruins ended the first day of play with a seven shot lead, leav- ing pressure to keep it through the sec- ond day. Despite a strong Noblesville team, the Bruins held out, winning by one shot, 633 to Noblesville ' s 634. This title, the first for Fort Wayne in 25 years, ended a fantastic undefeated season, which included an S.A.C. Championship. Sophomore Brian Gottwald headed the Bruin scoring with a 156, followed by senior Mike Ri- ley at 159 and junior Chris Schaeffer with 160. Brian said, It was faith in each other that did it. Senior Dave Welsh gave his opinion of the state championship, It ' s incredible! Coach Oliver emphasized the unity and interest of this team of golfers. There was a lot of cohesiveness in this group. Not only were they good golfers, but they worked well together. Most of all, they were more concerned about the we rather than the . he summed up. written by Kim Simpson.

The unseasonal spring weather was just one of the several problems ham- pering the team ' s progression. Frequent rain sent the girls to a nearby racquet- ball club for an indoor practice many an afternoon. Another problem was the unsteady doubles line-up, which would vary often, sometimes on the day before a match. Junior Dawn Roberts stated, Next year I would like to be put in a position with a partner and kept there Despite these setbacks, the team managed to pull off a few convincing victories, the most exciting of which was a last minute win by Senior Tammy Neubar Roberts to pull off a victory over Leo. The doubles team was unaware of their pivotal position but pulled through in a 14-6, 6-4, 6-3 win. Roberts stated, Tammy and I, at first, had trouble getting it together. Then, as Mr. Wittenburg would say, the chemis- try started working, and we pulled it off. This opinion was echoed by Neu- bauer, saying, As it was the first time I had ever played with Dawn Roberts, it proved critical that we play well ... It was a long match, but fun to play as Dawn is a wonderful partner. These girls were led by Senior Lisa Zehr, who was named to the All S.A.C. team, re- ceived the blanket award, and pulled off an amazing four-year record of 78% wins and 22% losses. This, combined with the promising underclass players leaves an aura of op- timism towards next year. Coach Nat Wittenburg commented, The girls were cooperative and gave their all. They are inexperienced but it is more encouraging next year. This team effort concept was com- mented on as Roberts continued, As a team, we did not always win, but we always tried to play as a team and to represent the school as best as possible. The team has great potential, which is very important. All are hopeful for upcoming teams and feel that with practice the squad has a great future. Wittenburg conclud- ed, We need to develop a winning con- science and think positively. We ' ll be better next year. written by Jeff Wunrow.

I thought it would have been totally out of the ques- tion, felt junior flute player Lisa Bloom about her invitation to tour Eur- ope over the summer with an American concert band. However Lisa ' s mother Junior Lisa Bloom, instrument in hand, poses before a poster of the area she toured with the American Musical Ambassador Association. photo by Doug Laslie took it seriously, feeling it was a chance of a lifetime for her daughter. On July 7, Lisa left Fort Wayne for New York City before crossing the At- lantic to Paris on July 9. The concert band was organized by the American Musical Ambassador As- sociation solely for the purpose of al- lowing American students the opportu- nity of seeing Europe and sharing American music. Members of the group, who were chosen by recommendation, came from all over the United States. The band visited 13 countries and played ten performances over a three- week period in such cities as Paris, Lu- cern, Lugano, Milan, Venice, Inns- bruck, Salzburg, Wiesbaden, Amster- dam, and London. The cost of the trip was $1695.00 per student, which was paid by the students involved. When asked what she liked most about the trip, Lisa replied, Switzer- land. Since I was seven years old, I have seen pictures of foreign scenery and I loved the Alps. They were more beauti- ful in person than I ' d ever imagined. written by Kim Simpson Junior Album Nelson, Linnita Nelson, Maurice Neuhaus, Kris Newsome, Cheryl Nine, Jeff Notestine, Julie Oberlin, Kim O ' Brien, Terri Oglesby, Michelle O ' Haran, Lillian O ' Reilly, Dan Owen, Sonya Pacer, Dawn Page, Darryl Palmeter, Nancy Parnin, Lisa Parsons, Chris Paskiet, Robin Paul, Sandy Paulausky, Shellye Pena, Yolanda Peneloza, Joseph Pensinger, Kevin Peppier, Bob Petersen, Debra Petsch, Melanie Pettit, Tom Pfafman, Laura Phillips, Kathi Pierce, Jennifer Plumb, Lisa Pobuk, Scott Poffenberger, Mark Porter, Jenny Powell, Sally Powelson, Alicia Prewett, Diann Pruitt, Sylvia Quinn, Debbie Michelle Rainbolt, Sherri Ramsey, Jenny Randall, Jeannie Rash, Melinda Rentschler, Karen Reynolds, William Rice, Donald Rice, Doreena Rice, Terry Richard, Timothy Rimmel, Chris Ringler, Pam Roberson, Rodney Roberts, Dawn Robertson, Karin Roebel, Cindy Rogan, Nisa Rohrabaugh, Mark Roop, Tim Ross, Kerry Ross, Robert Roussey, Todd Rowdon, Tonya Salas, Sherri Sanderson, Dhris Sarrazine, Jennifer Sauter, Saylor Sauter, Jeff Saylor, Gary Saylor, Walter Scalzo, Tom Schaefer, Gary Schaefer, Stacey t PJ J Inl ' . .

Some get money on loan from parents, some receive an allowance, but quite a few get money by working. Part-time jobs that Northrop stu- dents have vary from restaurant bus boys to day care center attendants. Al- though some jobs cause a few problems; such as, conflicts with school work and social life, there are still many advan- tages. Obtaining experience in customer relations, learning future job skills, making new acquaintances, and receiv- ing pay checks are some of the major advantages according to interviewed students. The range of salaries is narrow. The majority of teens make minimum wage ($3.35 per hour) but some make less. Some student workers make more de- pending on where they work or how long they have been employed. Regardless of the few disadvantages and problems with youth employment, more and more teens are entering the work world early and leaving it with a lot of values besides money, written by Deb Scherf Right — Senior Wendy Albersmeyer serves up an order of McDonald ' s french fries as part of her afterschool job. photo by Kurt Hoffman Below — Working in the advertising department of American Health and Fitness Center, seniors Michelle Senhen and Ellen Feldman solicit mem- berships by telephone, photo by Beth Richard- son Junior Album — 103 Sophomore ' s Spirit Unequaled The goals of the class of ' 86 were to participate in activities and to better assume the leadership necessary for their junior year. According to Jeanne Sheridan, sophomore class chairperson, these goals are met. Sophomore class member Mike Wag- staff felt, Most sophomores participate in more activities to become more a part of the school. Two activities were the sponsoring of a Powder Puff team and a booth at the carnival. Mrs. Sheridan felt that the enthusi- asm of the sophomore class deserved commendation. The members of the Powder Puff team lost to the Seniors, yet their spirit was unequaled.

He can also jump over his sister ' s slow-moving car. He is an expert in the ancient art of Tae Kwon Do. Tae Kwon Do is a Korean form of Karate that is basically 70% kicking and 30% use of hands. Shawn and his brother, senior Mark Trice, have been practicing with Tae Kwon Do for over seven years. Shawn doesn ' t just participate in this sport he also teaches it. But having been taught by a strict instructor has prompted him to teach with less disci- pline, but he makes it clear there is no room for foolishness. When asked what was the most im- portant lesson he learned from Tae Kwon Do he stated, I ' ve learned disci- pline, respect, and sportsmanship. When I leave the classroom I don ' t turn into another person and forget what I ' ve been taught. I carry the respect of the sport with me. written by Chris Sullivan Through the motivation and skill learned in Tae Kown Do, Sophomore Shawn Trice (left) begins to motivate h (right), photo imself to bv Chris break a Sullivan. cement block Sophomore Album — 107 Hoeppner, Roberta Hogan, David Honer, Carolyn Hoover, Jennifer Hoover, Laurie Hopper, Amy Horstman, Lynn Howard, Joann Howard, Teresa Hubbard, Mark Hull, Crutis Hursh, Dave Hutchisson, Lisa Imel, Lori Janiszewski, Steve Jefferson, Maurice Jenkins, Dawn Jereb, Joseph Johnson, Curtis Johnson, Eric Johnson, Geoffrey Johnson, Jovon Johnson, Ray Johnson, Terri Johnson, Walter Johnston, Lori Johnson, Rob Johnston, Rodney Jones, Anthony Jones, Jeff Jones, Jimmie Jones, Lewis Jones, Rita Jones, Tomika Jones, Tony Katt, Tracy Katter, George Kauffman, Kara Kelley, Randy Kelsey, John Kelso, Crista Kelt, Kelsch Keltsch, Mike Kepler, Mike Key, Kim Kidd, Sarah Kieler, Kevin Kiesling, Tracey King, Anthony King, Deborah Kinslow, Judy Kinzer, Ann Kline, Allen Kline, Maria Knapp, Rebecca Knowles, Kenny Koepke, Gregg Kohli, Melissa Koontz, Tom Kotchey, Chris Kramer, Dan Kruchten, Rick Kruse, Rob Landin, Traci Landrum, Shannon Lanning, April Lapsley, Tracie Lautzenheiser, Amber Lawson, Tamara Lay, Scott Lee, Nam Lembeck, Tracy Leitch, Chris 108 — Sophomore Album [ J w TT gj 1 ' £i or © t: ' « Q aiL  llllll j f ' lOi Leon, Phil Lester, Jennifer Lweis, Amy Lewis.

Children dream about it with unbelieving excitement and adults revere the courageous men in white that dare to explore the black frontier. With the advent of the space shuttle, the whole idea of space exploration has become both more unbelievable and more familiar. Because of the NASA Shuttle Stu- dent Involvement Project, high school students around the nation have had a chance to become more familiar with the space program by contributing ex- periments for use on the shuttle. Two Northrop students, sophomore Rob Johnston and junior Michelle Allen, and 18 other regional winners had their projects judged superior. The winning students and their science teachers traveled to Huntsville, Alabama, to NASA ' s Marshall Space Flight Center for a symposium in March. Michelle and Rob ' s winning projects were developed through questioning. Allen ' s project dealt with the adding of powdered metal to liquid polymer in zero gravity to reinforce plexiglass. She made a polymer in advanced chemistry and questioned ways to reinforce it, thus coming up with her winning pro- ject. Johnston ' s project involved growing algae in space to see if it grows better. He came up with the idea from reading that Japanese researchers were study- ing algae as a human food source. Johnston wrapped up with his par- ents reaction. They took the news calmly at first, until after the letters from NASA, Northrop, and universities began to pile up. Then they realized I had done something big, he said, writ- ten by Kim Simpson Sophomore Rob Johnston and junior Michelle Allen were named winners in the NASA Shuttle Student Involvement Project and, as a result, will have their experiments included on a future shut- tle night.

The goal of the freshman class in 1984 was to feel a part of Northrop through participation in activities. Lin- ley Morehart, freshman class secretary, felt that this goal was achieved. I feel that we were successful. For example, we continued the tradition of decorat- ing the G-Hall during the homecoming festivities as freshman classes have done for a long time, she said. Besides decorating for homecoming and other special events, the class of ' 87 sponsored and ran a face painting booth at the Junior Class Carnival which had some colorful and bizarre results. All in all, the freshman class had a good year because they were involved.

With Baseball and Band State Championship and numerous other awards and recognitions on the record, this school term will truly be remembered as the Year of the Bruin. Principal Dennis McClurg, along with assistants Mr. William Brown and Dr. Hans Sheridan, and athletic director, Mr. Mark Schoeff shared their thoughts on this very impressive year. This being the first year as principal, Mr. McClurg expressed his enjoyment in being associated with the student body when he related, The accom- plishments of Northrop have far ex- ceeded my expectations. When the theme, ' Year of the Bruin ' was selected, no one knew what to expect but it turned out to be very prophetic. Mr. Brown complimented the stu- dent support of athletics and stated that felt the term Year of the Bruin may be somewhat overused but it is in- dicative of what Northrop has exper- ienced during the year. Brown also promised student involvement in com- munity activities, such as the Red Cross blood donations, the WOWO Penny Pitch, and the Daybreak Children ' s Shelter can drive. w - ■ r T Ir ' m t W- Bill Brown Hans Sheridan Mark Schoeff Dr. Sheridan, a newcomer to Nor- throp, was impressed with the over-all school environment. The staff here is very professional and the students are very friendly , he commented. In addi- tion, Sheridan stated that he has felt honored to be a part of The Year of the Bruin and wished Northrop continued success. Mr. Schoeff expressed his pride in the members of Northrop ' s Athletic Department. The men and women in our sports program were truly out- standing this year. The phrase, Year of the Bruin has proven to be very appro- priate, he stated. He added that he was looking forward to more good things happening in the next school term. The hope for further excellence was evident in McClurg and Brown as well as Sheridan and Schoeff. The four men also shared what other Bruin did — pride this exceptional year of achieve- ments, written by Darryl Page.

John Weicker, dean of boys, ex- pressed his pleasure in working at Nor- throp and shared his thoughts about the job he performs. I really care about the young people here at Northrop. I am considered the heavy at this school but this is not an easy job, he stated. Donna Parker, dean of girls, com- mented, I love being a dean here. It has been a childhood ambition. She went on to say that she was pleased to have established a stronger relationship with faculty and parents this year. Tim Mathias, assistant to the princi- pal, also felt that one of the best parts of his job was maintaining a pleasant relationship with the staff and parents, as well as the students. Donna Green, guidance coordinator, indicated that ' 84 had been a very busy year. Many more students came to the Guidance Office for assistance on their own, which was really great, she said. She added that the Guidance Office has been able to provide more and more opportunities for students to find out higher education and career opportuni- ties. The overall opinion of Weicker, Parker, Mathias, and Green is obvious. They felt proud to be at Northrop in ' 84 and they share a deep concern for the importance of their jobs, written by Darryl Page 4k i-y l ' ;,ul Hifll Krci Hhiiiks Hill Cluivis Sue Claniy Ddtina (Jreen VVill.irH Holl,,w;iv Tim Mathias Donna Parker Keith Scott John Weicker Above — Senior Walter Young takes advantage of the guidance information computer as he makes inquiry into various college opportunities, photo by Doug Laslie Left — Mrs. Donna Parker chats with Debbie •Joyner of the Fort Wayne Police Department while she monitors the main hallway during lunch mods.

These individuals play a very important part in the school by helping it run so smoothly. At the same time, aides and secretaries at NHS all seemed to enjoy their jobs . . . not a bad combination. Included among the secretarial staff, to name only two, are Mr. Dottie Stav- reti, secretary to the dean of students, and Mrs. Kay Bohlender, secretary to the principal. Mrs. Stavreti comment- ed, I like my job. The deans are great to work for! Mrs. Bohlender, who has been at Northrop since it opened in 1971, has worked for all four of North- rop ' s principals. Mrs. Violet Wysong and Mrs. Sharon Riley are two very important people in another very important group. Mrs. Wysong is a six-hour aide, with the spe- cial education staff and she works with the students who need more attention and help with their studies. She makes sure that after the work has been ex- plained it is properly done. This was her first year working with special edu- cation students and she explained, I love the work and helping the children. The teachers are great, they really helped me adjust quickly. Mrs. Sharon Riley is one of the aides who work with the physically handi- capped students. She works with these students helping them with everything from getting off the busses in the morn- ing to assisting them in the therapy room. Mrs. Riley essentially helps the handicapped students do more for themselves. There has been a great year, but, every year gets better, be- cause each year the students get more mature. That makes my job easier, laughed Mrs. Riley. All of the aides and secretaries are a very essential part of Northrop ' s ad- ministrative body, written by Mary McCormick.

Their jobs at times may become very hectic, but for the most part few com- plaints are ever made. The cafeteria workers are pleasant and have a f ood support with the students and faculty. Most importantly, we all enjoy the re- sponsibility of preparing appetizing and tasty food for all of the Bruins, stated Mrs. Nancy Pressley, cafeteria manager. Mrs. Pressley has been manager for six years. She is responsible for the or- dering and preparing of the food. She supervises 25 employees of the cafete- ria. They prepare a meal and various ala carte items for Northrop students. They also prepare the same type meal for Hlackhawk and Shawnee Middle Schotjls. Approximately 2200-2500 meals are made each day for three schools. Head custodian, Mr. Steve Mock helps direct the work of 13 other custo- dians and establish an overtime roster. He also calls in work and maintenance orders not handeled by building per- sonnel. When needed, he assists in snow removal and helps cotjrdinate any school related activities such as: dances, planitarium visitors, and assemblies in the auditorium, cafeteria, and gymnasi- um.

While holding these all-nighters, most students are more concerned with how to squeeze in another footnote when there is only a quarter of an inch left at bottom of the page, and not with how taking English classes now will affect them in the fu- ture. In high school, English presents more immediate obstacles such as reading the massive An American Tragedy and writing a research paper on a poet lau- reate. But beyond the discipline taught to turn assignments in on time, English classes give students a chance to ex- plore a variety of literature that, hope- fully, will inspire them to read outside class and learn about themselves and the world they live in. Mrs. Shirley Galvin, English depart- ment chairperson, stated that North- rop ' s English curriculum offers, All different levels for all different stu- dents. This curriculum is called the phase-elected program, which allows students to choose classes that interest them. The philosophy of this, according to Galvin, is, If they could take classes they wanted, they ' re more apt to read and more apt to learn. During high school, students are pre- sented with a wide range of literature and writing assignments which encour- age them to think freely and express themselves openly. This is the intent of the English Department — to present ideas and allow students to draw a con- clusion from them, written by Elana Crane Mrs. Mansbach gives instructions to students in her basic journalism class. 132 — English Terry Springer Evelyn Surso Dan Tannas Laura Vonderlage Marita Baker Eric Beebe Diirleen Hulltr Kdsalie Karrell Shirley (lalvin Dun (jerig Ruth Hart Louise Isom Tom Madden Bill Madden Gerri Mansbach Judy Mildworm George Miller Carrie Moden Jeanette O ' Toole Juniors Danny Oberly and Ken Didier appear ti ' be excited by the many interesting stories found in Ken ' s volume of Real Stones.

Two students, ju- nior Michelle Allen and sophomore Rob Johnston, competed with fellow students, from Northrop and other schools, in the Launch and Land pro- gram, sponsored by NASA. In the com- petition, which was held across the na- tion, students thought up and created projects that could be carried out on a Shuttle . . . The country was divided into 10 regions, and 20 projects from each region earned their inventors and an all expenses paid trip to the Mar- shall Space Center in Huntersville, Ala- bama, for three exciting days. Both Mi- chelle, whose project involved basic Chemistry and Physics applied to mak- ing strong glass, and Rob, who experi- mented with growing algae, were win- ners. Even though hundreds of students won, both Michelle and Rob stand a good chance of having their experi- ments actually performed in space on a Shuttle mission. The science department, headed by Mr. Levy, has been a winner in other ways, too. All the facilities and the knowledgable staff are blue ribbon. As Mr. Hart, who teaches different levels of Biology and Integrated science, points out, Northrop has many valu- able microscopes and other tools avail- able. I would like to see more students take advantage of what we have to of- fer. He adds, Today, there is so much available. I wish my class had all we have now when I was in school. Besides learning in the classroom, students became involved in the com- munity and learned about science at the same time. In the past, students have worked at the zoo, the National Guard, 4H, Boy Scouts, and many other places. Some people have even had paying jobs. Sophomore Dawn Jerkins worked for a veterinarian to complete her project for Biology. More important than money though, has been the gained experience. As Mr. Hart stated, High school sci- ence doesn ' t necessarily get you a sum- mer job, but it is a tremendous boost for those entering college, and is a reassur- ance to last a lifetime. written by Matthew Wyatt. ■v««Q«y g Mt,ia j   m j wji %w w;  pi)w r Above — With students watching and taking notes, Mr. Jacob Baker uses the overhead projec- tor to explain some of the astronomy basics.

Science — 135 Math Takes It To The Limit Glen Bickel helps sophomore Eric Gaumer with a geometry problem. On October 26, 1983, Northrop High School sent three students and a lot of high hopes to Franklin College ' s Math- ematics Day, an annual competition for advanced Indiana students. Seniors Chris Johnson and John Bohn, junior Todd Mc Comb, and participants from thirty-one other area high schools at- tempted to answer fifty word problems. Mc Comb was awarded first place and Bohn received second. Among all the math departments present, Northrop ' s finished runner-up. This was the high- light for a year featuring such events as the installation of a new computer sys- tem, the addition of two new classes, and the shaving of Mr. Robert Tram- mel ' s mustache by the fellow math teacher Jane Kimmel. Both of the new classes, finite math and calculus, reflect Northrop ' s grow- ing ability to meet the needs of all math students. Finite math is now being of- fered to juniors and seniors interested in data processing or business careers. Calculus is actually a college class at Indiana-Purdue University at Fort Wayne. However, it ' s also open to high- ly advanced Northrop seniors. This year ' s participants, Julie Chao and John Bohn, both agree that it ' s a worth- while experience. In the face of all these monumentous events of 1983-84, Mr. Trammel, Math department chairman, still stresses that Northrop ' s greatest math achievements may be in the classroom. Most classes were on or ahead of schedule through- out the year and teacher ' s successes were being reflected by the 78 ' r of Nor- throp students taking math. Of course, the biggest math news na- tion-wide was the immense criticism fo- cused on it ' s quality and instruction. This has caused math requirements for graduation to be raised from one year to three years. However, as Mr. Trammel pointed out, most changes will have only minimal effects on Northrop stu- dents. For example, 80 ' ' c of students here have already taken two years of math and 60 ' f three years. Nonetheless, many are confused by the changes in graduation requirements and math cur- riculum. Mr. Trammel ' s advice to these people was to simply take as many math classes as possible because it ' s be- coming increasingly important for col- lege entrance and survival in today ' s highly technological world or, as he put it, Go to the limit with math.

Since the beginning of this school, the social studies department has been a major academic field. Many changes have taken place in this area, primarily in the increased curriculum. Of the sev- eral additional classes, the major one is Honors United States History. Although this idea has been in the process for fifteen years, it was first put into action during the 1983-1984 school year. The purpose of this class was and is to combine the background of Ameri- can history with the American litera- ture taught in Junior Honors English. These classes are a block for juniors. Madeleine Thompson, one of the for- mulators of the program said, The purpose is to help honors students to understand that literature and history are interrelated. Another added class is the Junior Achievement — sponsored Applied Economics class, the purpose of which was to teach economic principles and train students to apply them to every- day life. Department head Ron Certain commented on the future role of this class. Fort Wayne Community Schools are concerned that not enough students have sufficient economic literacy, and ... it will likely increase in impor- tance, he said. History is not all advanced courses, but is an area of study applicable to all. Bruce Oliver, history teacher, felt that the purpose of the department is, To prepare young people to be better in- formed and more actively involved in community and national affairs. Certain had his own view of its pur- pose. Social studies attempts to teach students to appreciate the country ' s cultural heritage and better understand other peoples and culturals, he con- cluded, written by Jeff Wunrow.

However, the study of a foreign language lets students step out of their own familiar surroundings into a broader world. Mrs. Janet Weber, for- eign language department chairman, told about the broadened world. You ' re outside of your own little world, — your own group of friends, your own talent, your own country, your own way of doing things — and you find out that other people have dif- ferent ways, but also excellent ways. With the cultures being so intermin- gled in the world, knowing the ways of another country has become very bene- ficial. In jobs, social life, and other deal- ings with varying nationalities, know- ing about other cultures helps in relat- ing to people. Junior third-year Spanish student Amy Vaughan commented, I took a foreign language because it was recom- mended if I wanted to go to college. And, I like foreign languages. Amy was going to take French as well as Spanish, but her schedule would not permit the extra class. Besides Spanish and French, Nor- throp offers German and Latin as course choices. A valuable addition to the classrom is visiting the country of the language. Al- most every year, one of the teachers takes a group of students overseas or to Mexico. On every trip, the reactions are the same, Their eyes are just open. They are agog and so excited. It ' s so much fun to take kids and see this reac- tion and how much they enjoy it and love what they are seeing, described Mrs. Weber. By studying and exploring the lan- guage and culture of another country, foreign language students take a step outside their world . . . into another. written by Kim Simpson ■ ■ ?i— k; ' P l H H % i V i ■ 4 1 ' vi iJnH 1 i Sl .l.., ' ijH MSfSf?;; i .4 Above — French teacher Eric Augsburger, and Top right — Students in their foreign language Junior Kristi Carpenter, pose for the camera. class make an effort to answer the question photo by Tim Sbauver. posed by their teacher, photo by Tim Shauver. 140 — Foreign Language Dan Gibson Jean Perego Vicki Petrie lanet Weber Left — Ann Brudney, German instructor, assists one of her German students, freshman Scott Tam, in a blackboard exercise, photo by Watters Top — Spanish teacher Jackie Foelber instructs her class in the wonders of Spanish.

Stu- dents at Northrop have their choice of working with wood, metals, electronics, and engines as well as working in draft- ing and graphic arts. Though the enrollment in some of the industrial arts classes has not been large, the year could be termed success- ful in that several awards have been won by students in the power mechan- ics and electronics classes. In spite of the low enrollment during the ' 84 school year, big things were ex- pected for future years. New projects started in ' 84 were expected to attract many according to department chair- man Steve Steiner. Some of these pro- jects include sandblasting on glass and wood, robotics, and computer drafting. In addition, electronics equipment was updated and featured digital metering. Steiner saw this as a great improvement for the program. Industrial arts gave students the knowledge of machines, but more im- portantly, the students enjoyed it. One metals student commented, I like to work with metals because I get the sat- isfaction of knowing I have built some- thing. Steiner wrapped up the year by saying, It ' s a fun area for students to do their own personal things. written by Greg Steiber ' i -a Mark Daniels - - v ' - Robert Lambert .Jim Lubbehusen Lynn Smuts Steve Steiner Top left - With noisy stediness and care, senior Sophomore Dawn Anspaufjh and junior Lisa Wil- Scolt Murphy uses a table saw to cut wood for a hite carefully review the problem before starting project. their drafting project.

Carol Krcck Natalie Hewes Joan McKee A Home Ec. Is Cookin ' The B-hall tills with the appetizing smells of food during the stages of its preparation, and the teasing aroma draws attention to its source — the home economics department. The tempting pastries and pizzas help con- tribute to the overall learning process of those students who hope to eventual- ly establish a home. Along with the basics taught for pre- paring food, another aspect was being intensified this year. As foods teacher Joan McKee elaborated, We try to keep up with society by strengthening the nutrition angle and placing more emphasis on the basics of a good diet. Also new in 1984 was the idea of ex- panding the foods curriculum by add- ing a third-year class, which could be taken by juniors and seniors who have passed an advanced foods test. In addition to foods, the clothing sec- tion of home-ec was also setting new trends. As teacher Natalie Hewes ex- plained, This year seeded to produce more casual types of clothing. A lot of the projects included sweatshirts and sweatpants and clothes of this sort. Also she added that students were be- coming more creative in their choices of clothing and were able to make things on their own even if they couldn ' t find what they wanted in the stores. Included in the home economics cur- riculum are human development and home management. Mrs. McKee com- mented, These courses help to make the students realize their responsibil- ities in life. Senior Stormy Cotterman added, I have gained a big advantage in that I can depend on myself now without having to run home to mom and dad every time I need something. As home economics takes strides to keep up with today ' s changing styles, everyday living basics are still being taught for the independent adults of the future, written bv Lisa Bloom Above — During the MMt;lr .,wng class, Mrs. Hewes shows an informative filmstrip for her stu- dents who include sophomores Karen Brown and Kim Shirey.

Photography is popular and a lot of times we have more students wanting in than we can sched- ule, commented photography teacher Mr. Gene Porter. Focus, speed and con- tact sheets are just a sample of the new vocabulary for the budding photogra- pher. As Porter added, Good pictures are good because the student does the fundementals well.

Art Is Always Surrounding Us One can ' t take a breath without be- ing surrounded by art. It intervenes with our day-to-day decisions — on what we wear as well as our personal tastes in decorating our homes, com- mented Miss Margaret Whonsetler. Just as there are differences in taste, there are many different areas in art to explore. The classes range from cutting and pasting to complicated clay work and sculpture. Ten classes were divided between Miss Whonsetler and Mrs. Gene Porter. Many projects that were created throughout the year, were en- tered in several art competitions, in- cluding the National Scholastic Con- test. Each year Northrop generally has national finalists. Art is a lot more difficult than peo- ple give it credit for, said Whonsetler, It takes a very disciplined and atten- tive person to be an artist. written by Lisa Bloom Left — Senior Angle .Johnson concentrates on her sketch. Art Photography — 145 New Classes Enhance Program With the increased emphasis on Physical fitness through such popular items as athletic clubs, aerobic dance classes, and home excerise equipment, the physical education courses at Nor- throp have expanded and become more popular. New classes in 1984 were girls conditioning and dance, both of which were very popular. The new classes were initiated to get more girls into the advanced classes. Mr. Dave Hey, commented that in the dance classes, Not only are the stu- dents learning new dance techniques, but also I think it ' s fun for them. The department wanted to draw more kids into the advanced program partly because the freshmen and sopho- more classes had become so big that a lot of activities were difficult to include. The student choices of sports in the re- quired programs didn ' t work because of the confusion with the large classes. Also, the students could not get much individual attention. But still, the teachers tried to bring the goal of physical education out. Mr. Hey said, The goal of physical educa- tion is to get the kids to do the best they can and feel good about themselves. According to Hey, students should take Physical Education to be a well- rounded person and to help the student in other areas of their of their lives. Coordination and perceptional move- With pursed lips and determination, junior Scott Martz completes the last barbell squat in his se- ries of exercises. ment, two things stressed in physical education, are proved to help a student in both academic and recreational ac- tivities. As is evidenced in the increasing drive of people to be physically fit, peo- ple want to feel good about themselves. This proved true for many in the in- crease of students taking advanced gym classes. As Northrop tried to provide interesting and challenging physical education classes, the goal shined through. The whole thing with phys- ical education is that the individual should feel good about themselves and want to continue physical activity in later life, concluded Mr. Hey. written by Kim Simpson.

Physical Education — 147 Business Serves The Majority For those with a interest in business- related field, the business department can prepare them for the future. The country ' s biggest employment demand is for accounting, clerical, and secretar- ial jobs. According to Robert Bellinger, department head, one of the purposes of the department is to prepare some students vocationally for job opportuni- ties and employment. The business department is also a means by which students can get a gen- eral background in business. Dellinger went on to say that a second purpose of the department is, to train and teach all students about things they need in every day life. One reason some students study busi- ness is a lack of certainty as to their future careers. Senior Diane Ringler said, I wanted to get a little business background before I graduated from high school. I wasn ' t sure what I was going to go into in college. Some stu- dents have commented that their course in typing has been a great help to them in other classes, while others have noted that notehand or a similar course is a possibility in the future. Whether students want general or concentrated business studies, the Nor- throp business department can accomo- date any need. The staff of qualified personnel has brought many commens. I like the teachers very much, junior Debbie Scherf stated. Scherf also went on to comment on the curriculum, say- ing, The courses are well put together — I understand them. Dellinger felt that any business class helps the stu- dent get along better in life. The subject can help them understand what ' s going on in the world. wr;Y :en by Jeff Wun- •Joe Brown Richard BuUerman Mike Danley Robert Davis Robert Dellinger Bvron Doerffler Dean Doerlfler John Eastes Rick Housel Barrie Peterson Jennifer Titzer --:=1 f V 148 — Business mm •Juiiii.r Di-lihic C.iMxImaii and senic.r Miclu-lli- .liiiii. r Mulu-llc H.-Kit- and .i|)liiiMinrc Chrisla FishcT prcpari- lor ihi ' rapid nciti- taking lu-ti-ssary KcU(, srl ihi- ni;irj;ins ml llu-ir ly|)cwriters as ihcy to become a si-irctar liv |)raitiiinf; iheir short- prcpari- lo Ivpc a daily assignment. hand.

Department Gets Involved Northrop High School has many dif- ferent departments. One department which Northrop can be very proud of is the Special Education department. Special Ed. is designed to help those students that might have a learning dis- ability, a hearing impairment, and emo- tional handicap, or a mild mental handicap. A student has a learning disability when he she has average or above abili- ty yet is unable to process or learn in- formation as it is usually presented. The largest difficulty is with the lan- guage area of writing and or reading. Hearing impaired students deficits range from those having a slight loss to those with a complete loss of hearing. An emotionally handicapped student is a student who needs help coping with everyday problems. The final areas of Special Ed. consists of mildly mentally handicapped students. These students are not able to function at the same level as an average student, therefore these students need a considerable amount of assistance in school, aca- demically as well as socially. Mrs. Stephanie Bourne, chairperson of the Department of Special Educa- tion, is responsible for ordering and suggesting materials such as, work- books, films, and textbooks for the stu- dents, as well as keeping up with cur- rent trends. One way she has done this is by writing a proposal in order to ob- tain an Apple computer for the depart- ment. She occasionally assists in devel- oping curriculum for the teachers. For example, this year was the first year Special Ed. offered a home economics course. Another project developed by Northrop was a seminar for young women conducted at the YMCA. The students studied such topics as: Child abuse, swimming, make-up consulting, job marketing, nutrition, and personal hygiene. The seminar closed with a for- mal tea. Mrs. Bourne said, One of my goals is to have a monthly project in- volving all of the Special Ed. depart- ment. In 82-83, the Special Ed. department took an overnight camping trip to Chain-0-Lakes. Annually, the Special Education students prepare a tradition- al Thanksgiving Day dinner for the en- tire department and administrators. During National Edu cation Week, Spe- cial Education teachers sponsor a tea for all of the Northrop faculty and ad- ministrators. During this time the guests are shown examples of work both academic and extra curricular, the stu- dents have done. Northrop High School has the largest Special Education Department in Fort Wayne. Teachers and aids in the de- partment genuinely care about the stu- dents and go above and beyond the call of duty to help the students achieve, according to Mrs. Bourne. Bourne also added, Without the support of a fine administration at Northrop, the Special Ed. Department could not be the suc- cess it is. They truly understand our students and realize that socially and academically our students have differ- ent goals set for them. written by Steve Arnold.

RVS pre- pares students for the world of work immediately, and there are numerous field in which to branch off. The popular female field is usually cosmetology and the leading male field seems to be mechanics. Some other components of the program are early childhood care, horticulture, construc- tion trades and business computers, to name a few. The various general areas are divided into area of specialization. Chavis explained that, After a stu- dent ' s skill has reached a proficiency, he or she is then placed in ' on the job training ' . p]ach student receives three credits per semester, a grade, and as extra incentive, minimum wage. As senior Walter Young comment- ed, I got involved in RVS through the business occupation aspect. I began with the introductory classes in com- puter operation during my junior year. Then I worked in the co-op category where I programmed computers at Lin- coln Life. Now I have a steady job there. Besides securing a good job, Young was glad he had the experience to back him when he went to apply for college. Also looking into future goals, junior Michelle Oglesby concluded, I became involved in RVS because I wanted to become a nurse. The nursing program will help me in my future career. writ- ten by Lisa Bloom Below — Juniors Jeff Sauter, Mark Lane, and ., , ,, „ f w u • • i „,tv, Tim Rood listen carefully as auto body instructor Above left — Careful to be accurate, junior Keith , , • , • f .v,„ «„„,„, ;„.= .   • fv,- ,1 John Cummins explains some of the liner points Kacsor measures an important piece ot his wood • . • u . „,.«„ ... ft- yf applvine a new paint job to an auto, working project. ■ Regional Vocational School — 153 Media Center Deals In Service Of course all schools have media cen- ters, or libraries as they are referred to by most. But Northrop ' s library is more than a room with mass quantities of books. As always, the media center proved to be sufficient to be. It subscribed to at least 120 periodicals. It ' s very popular paperback collection and reference col- lection increased. Northrop ' s library was found to be second to none in the state of Indiana. Most studyhall students were attract- ed to a new addition to the media cen- ter. Ten Apple II Micro Computers were moved from the computer room, A206, to the media center. Hundreds of study hall students were enrolled to ac- cess comprized word processing, simu- lations, drill practice, and educational games. This was a blessing for students, but not for the audio-visual staff, stated Mr. Rick Davis, head of the audio-visu- al department. Funds were just not available to meet the students and staff demands for computer software. Still over 39 computer discs were replaced because of the heavy demand. Putting this problem aside, the audio-visual department had a good year. The students and the staff contin- ued to cator the school ' s needs. The A.V. services the school with graphics, lamination, dry mount, tape duplica- tion, and software circulation. The A.V. department offers a course in audio visual research.

We Are Bound To Get It Right Each school year ' s end brings about the dismembering of another What ' s Bruin? stai ' i. The undescribable comra- derie, whose loss goes beyond that of parting friends, etches into students impressions and experiences that sur- pass academic education. The staff ' s graduating seniors will feign relief, but the soul of D-109 repeatedly slips into their thoughts. Two hours a day, not to mention after school lay-outs, has created, to all in its domain, a bond that is based on the blended emotions of love and hate; a bond that will be extended to the in- coming writers, the peons, the school ' s lone voice. Gone are the great writers of the past: John Kane, Luke Stieber, Dan Spald- ing, Jeff Kane, and the omni-present, Buddy Weber. And with them the names of this year ' s passing: Mike Kel- ler, the most gifted of this year ' s writ- ers; the passive guidance of Beth Rich- ardson; the lax efforts of a talented pho- tographer in Steve Hug; the solemnity of Ad-man Calvin Todd; the refreshing presence of Diane Ringler; the precision of the topical Barb Price; along with my own personal touches (Kurt Hoffman). The format of the paper will remain, but the fine print will read of a different and sharper perspective. We ' ve loved these days is the only truth; and hope is the love for tomor- row.

What ' s Bruin?— 157 Small Staff Completes ' 84 Annual As the orange grease pencil travels through planes of blue, the cropper fights to stop the bleeding. The copy flows from the gray mountains, through the graphite tubes, and onto the white desert. Time dances freely, until the deadlines loom over the ink waterfall. As the deadly shadow hangs above, all things run for cover. When the menace has passed, laughter returns and the flourescent sun again reigns over the realm of yearbook. Though the yearbook is not a world of fantasy, it is a different world. The grease pencils did travel through blue planes, and deadlines were really men- aces, but all hurdles were overcome by the small, but tough staff of 7. With new advisor Douglas Laslie, the small staff developed several new ideas for the 1983-84 book. The biggest of these was a yearbook cover contest, held in October. By way of posters and announcements, the Bear Tracks staff urged students to get involved in their yearbook by helping design the cover. Though not many took the challenge, the 12 that did offer several creative and interesting ideas. The design decid- ed upon was created by junior Andy Neher, for which he received $25.00. Second and third places ($10.00 and $5.00) went to sophomore Rob John- ston and junior Joe Penaloza. Other new concepts appeared throughout the book. Breaking from collage ideas, the division pages con- tained only a picture and a drawing. Going back to a previous idea, the sen- iors were put upfront, after the Student Life section. Also, the bands, choirs, and theatrical performances occupied their own section called Performing Arts. Though work was piled on because of the small staff, the yearbook came out on time. Several newspaper staffers were even recruited to write a few sto- ries to lighten the work-load. Finally, Bear Tracks was all on paper. The blue planes, now dragging the grease pencils behind on the warm memory breeze, fly lazely over the ink waterfall. The graphite tubes, now rust- ed shut, sit useless on the stark white desert. The menace has returned be- yond the gray mountains and the crop- per allows the bleeding to continue, drop by drop, into Reminisence River and onto the sea. written by Kim Simpson.

The audiance knew that and I think you knew that. It was written all over your faces and that ' s what it ' s all about, emphasized Big Orange Pride direc- tor Barry Ashton, immediately after the band ' s first place ISSMA State Band Contest performance. The emotion on the faces of band members was more than just the seem- ingly false smiles and sparkling eyes that are plastered on to hide nerves and to please judges. The emotion — the deeply driving force that won them the state title — was real. As junior drum line member Stacey Nash said assured- ly, All I know is that at the beginning of the drum solo when Brian Taubert (drum major) turned around, smiled, and winked at me — I knew it was our best show. Though the feeling continued and strengthened throughout the season, the root of it gained hold at the new band camp.

He gave the band camp a whole new atmosphere by making us feel right at home. He strengthened us as a whole with his never-ending spirit signs around camp. explained junior piccolo player Lisa Bloom. The support and en- couragement of Mr. Smith helped to instill a feeling of family into the band. Brad Stauffer, drum major, felt that ev- eryone did it for each other. What they did was to go through a tiring, sac- rificing, but very successful three months. Beginning with the band camp in the last week of August until the state con- test in early November, nothing existed in the life of every member of the BOP but band. As it has been stated, they ate, slept, and drank band for three months. Mr. Ashton knew the impor- tance of dedication and desire for kids to make it through the season. You gotta have kids that want to do it. You gotta have kids that will go out there until 5:30 p.m. every afternoon in the heat, rain, and dust. They have to toler- ate being called band fags and everyth- ing else, plus give up every Saturday from September to November and a week of their summer and then pay $15 to give it up. You gotta have that, em- phasized Ashton. That desire is what they had. The Big Orange Pride wanted to win, they want- ed to be the best, and they wanted it from the heart. The BOP worked to the limit, improving for every single con- test. When asked what the difference was between this year ' s band and those of the past years, Ashton answered triumphantly, They know how to peak! Every performance proved to be better than the last, peaking with the first-ever state band championship for Northrop and for the city of Fort Wayne. 162 ce Pride I.i-lt — A proud Barry Ashton holds ihc o-CodI trophy sixnifyiriK Ihf state champs, photo liy StfVf Hun.

The week- end before state, the band beat the then undefeated Ben Davis Giants in the Marching Bands of America Contest. Though the consistent wins helped the morale and confidence of the band, Stauffer feels it wasn ' t a big factor in their success at state, The band showed a lot of character. I think we would have been able to hold up even if we hadn ' t done as well, he said. Part of the band ' s character and de- sire grew from Ashton ' s handicapped condition for most of the season. In July, Ashton underwent long-needed back surgery, which seriously limited his normal physical power — power that he normally devoted to band. He spent all of band camp riding around in a golf cart and most of the season walk- ing with the aid of a cane. The band members responded with extra enthusi- asm and work to compensate for their director ' s inability to do so. Juniors Bill Mauritzen and Sherri Rainbolt sensed the response. Bill expressed, I think it made the band stronger. It made us kind of pull together more. Sherri backed him up. We had to work harder. We worked harder because we wanted to; we wanted to work for him. It was just, ' Do it for Barry ' , she said. Barry wasn ' t the only member of the staff that brought out the desire in the kids. Mr. Kevin Klee, the new assistant director made quite an impression on the band members. Besides working in harmony with Ashton, he fired them up before contests by doing flips for them. Teresa Enright, junior, summed up the whole band ' s opinion of Mr. Klee with, he ' s wild, he ' s crazy, he ' s great! Besides having a well-synchronized staff, an undefeated season, an excep- tional band camp, and the always strong parent support, the Big Orange Pride was equipped with a spectacular . hove — .Sophomore Leslye Taylor waves her brit;htly colored flag in time with the music. photo by Steve Hun Below — Poms Regina Earlywine and Lisa Davis get ready for MBA. photo by Steve Hug show. Not only did the band members like it better, but the audience liked it better. In comparison to last year ' s show, most band members agreed that it was harder because of the constant movement, but more impressive to the audience because of that. Still following their usual order of classical follow-ed by jazz, an original drum solo was ad- ded, as well as a new punk-jazz piece at the end. The four pieces of music went together excellently, according to Ash- ton. With all the plusses behind them, the only thing needed to make it all work came from the hearts of each band member. .Ashton knew the desire of the kids made the difference, as he summed up, There ' s this desire around here. These kids wanted a state champion- ship. That ' s all we ever worked for this year. It came from the hearts. written by Kim Simpson Big Orange Pride — 165 Vocal Music Among the fine arts there is a wide variety offered in the area of vocal mu- sic. Because of the different ranges of voices, groups also range from the freshman and advanced girls to the alto and tenor bass boy ' s choirs. A balance of all ranges occurs in the varsity choir, madrigals, and concert choir. The talent of some of these groups was illustrated at the ISSMA contest where the freshman girl ' s choir received an excellent rating, and the advanced girl ' s and concert choirs received rat- ings of superior . Another added suc- cess to the year was that of concert choir ' s participation in The Great American Choir Festival in Peoria, Il- linois, during March. It was the high point of our year because we received gold medalions and a check for $500 as the first-place prize, commented direc- tor Bill Heins, I knew we would do well because of the quality of the group, and I was extremely pleased with their first place rating. With the many per- formances throughout the year, each of Northrop ' s choirs added to the success of The Year of The Bruin. wr tien by Lisa Bloom Above right — Treble and Tenor Bass Choir: Row 1 — Robin Paskiet, JuHe Notestine, Carla Porter, Melinda Hettinger; Row 2 — Mr. Bill Heins, Marchell Peterson, Bob StoU, Kirk Kac- sor, Terry Sparks, Dale Smith, Crista Kelso, Mr. Richard Seeger; Row 3 — Lynette Wiggins, Ran- dy Fleck, Jeff Zollars, Roger Smith, Matt Higle, Ray Ford, Trent Carswell Above — Concert C hoir: Seated at piano — Mark Hittie, Cindy Neil; row 1 — Kelly Dougherty, •Julie Cause, Amy Johnson, Becky V ' otaw, Amy Finger, Kim Ware, Brenda Theobald, Michelle White; Row 2 — Mary Jo Elworthy, Angie Fair- field, Stacey Nash, Suzy Johnloz, Donna Cooper, Nancy Stanley, Vicky StoU, Candace Shively, Caroline Satre, Anarene Holt; Row 3 — Gail Han- key, Nancy Palmeter, Pat King, Gregg Tackwell, Paul Moring, Andy Cochran, Kevin Damerall, David Miller, Chris Fincher.

Tina Foster Vocal Music le: Bands Provide Musical Variety Once marching band season drew to an end, it was time to put away the plumes and muddy shoes and get on to a wider variety of music. The three bands, 9th Grade, Varsity, and Concert, spent a great deal of time preparing pieces for concerts as well as competi- tion. This practicing payed off for the three bands in April when each one re- ceived a superior rating at the Indiana State School Music Association (ISSMA) state contest. These ratings were a result of learning the parts and, more importantly, learning to balance and blend to the sound of a concert band. written by Lisa Bloom . -K ' - ' % Barry Ashton Kevin Klee Left — Concert Band director Barry Ashton con- duct the first movement from Symphonic Jubi- lee during one of many afternoon rehearsals. photo by Tom Pettit Below — Senior Dan Hogan awaits his tympani cue during rehearsal of the concert band piece, Rituale. pAofo by Tom Pettit 9th Cnitle H;,.kI: R„w 1 — Slaty Chalmers, Hi-ath.r KliiiM.

Jazz Band I ' s musical ability proved to be impressive time and again at a festival after festival where they literal- ly cleaned up every time. 1 felt that our best performance was at the Elm- hurst Jazz Festival because we played extremely well and we had a seven point lead in first place, replied Ash- ton. Along with the group ' s success, as a whole many individual honors were re- ceived throughout the year. These in- cluded senior Tony Masterson ' s consis- tant percussion awards and the many personal instrumental awards. Senior Jeff Hatfield received one for lead trumpet, senior Ron Kepler for saxa- phone, junior I ' om Jontz for saxajjhone also, and (Jary Largin for trombone. Outstanding performances were also given by junior bass player Dawn Clif- ford and trumpet solo player Matt Schuler, added Ashton. Jazz band had shown its educational influence on the members as well, with Ashton claiming there were five or six seniors who planned to continue with their music careers. As senior Fawley added, Ashton likes jazz so much and it has rubbed off onto us. Without Mr. Ashton I doubt we would feel confident enough to play jazz and to continue it in college. As for the future Jazz Band I mem- bers, the upcoming members of Jazz Hand II |)la ed sixth at the KImhurst Jazz Festival, and Jazz Band III pro- duced a successful year by receiving a Sui)eri{jr rating along with Jazz Band I and II at Indiana State School Music Association. The interest in jazz is growing at Northrop mainly because of the |)opu- larity, concluded Ashton, and the kids are wanting to learn more about jazz. written by [j ' sn Blcmm.

Charisma ' 84. Rehearsals for 1984 began in Septem- ber and two weeks after that the choir received second place honors at the Bluffton Street Fair Swing Choir Con- test. This was the first of five contests throughout the year which would bring six trophies back to Northrop. In addition to the various Fall and Christmas performances, Charisma also hosted the Swing Choir Spectacular for the third consecutive year here at Northrop. The Spectacular featured six top high school groups. The winter contest season was cli- maxed with Charisma being crowned as Grand Champion of the Watseka Mid- west Swing Choir Invitational in Illi- nois. Besides receiving top honors, Nor- throp also won awards for best back- up group and best costumes. From mid-March through April, the group took a break from rehearsals and performances because many of the members participated in the spring musical, My Fair Lady. During this time auditions were held for the ' 85 edi- tion of Charisma. The swing choir finished the year with an assortment of May perfor- mances at banquets and honors pro- grams throughout the community and brought the total number of perfor- mances to nearly 30 for the year. Heins had many to thank for the suc- cess of Charisma ' 84. As well as the members, he pointed out the dedication of Larry True, Charisma choreo- grapher. Larry joked with the kids and make them work until they had created a masterful piece of art for the stage, he commented. Heins also expressed his gratitude to the parents whose sup- port was tops . In summing up, Heins said, The stu- dents ' musical sensitivity and will to work hard has made this a truly out- standing and memorable year for me with Charisma. written by Darryl Page During a quick change by the cast, junior Nancy Stanley plays the part of a construction worker in a skit performed before the second part of Step- pin ' Out. photo by Steve Hug During the song Somewhere over the Rainbow , senior Donna Cooper, sophomore Mike Bennett, sophomore Kevin Damerall, senior Suzy Johnloz, and seniors Bunny Storch and Scott Fruchey har- monize to create a dreamy effect. p ioto hv Steve Hut ' Though she is not Judy Garland, senior Vicky Stoll sings Somewhere over the Rainbow, with an enchanting style. p iofo by Steve Hug Charisma ' 84 Charisma ' 84: Seated L-R — Suzy Johnloz, Schtt Guthier, Cindy Neil.

The audience is wisked back to the late 1980 ' s to the Barbary Coast of San Francisco in the town ' s dilema over the disappearance of many prominent citizens. This cre- ates the morbid plot of the melodrama, Sweeney Todd. Sweeney Todd, portrayed by junior Tom Blacketor, is the greedy, deranged barber who, with the use of his special barber ' s chair, disposes of his wealthy customers after he has confiscated their goods. The limp, lifeless bodies are then manufactured into meat pies by Mrs. Lovett, played by senior Vicky Stoll. As the number of disappearances grows, so do the town ' s suspicions of Todd. His plan of forcing sweet Lily Fairoak, (sophomore Sydney Bloom) to marry him in order to rescue her im- prisoned mother (sophomore Lisa Frank), is ruined. The yet unsilenced spirits of the dead come back to haunt him, and he betrays himself to the townspeople in the end. This old style melodrama was more serious, but it was still a comedy, ex- plained director and drama teacher Del Proctor. It was difficult in that it was a totally new style of acting which the student wasn ' t familiar with. Try-outs, which took place at the end of September, were very successful ac- cording to Proctor who added, There were at least three or four people to play each part. ' Visual appearance on stage, vocal projection, acting ability in reading, and dependability were just some of the categories for cast selection. Six weeks were spent preparing for the two performance presented November 3 and 4. With a hidious laugh, Sweeney Todd whined, The scheming, the plot- ting, the planning . . . does anyone ap- preciate it? It was obvious that the sizeable crowds both nights did. Junior Scott Barnett, who portrayed Brooklyn Jake, concluded, It ' s like being handed the game ball and being told that you did a great job. written by Lisa Bloom Tom Blacketor professes his innocence to the in- spector, senior Eric Vincent, photo by Steve Hug 174 — Fall Play HfldW Senior Viikv Stcill is l)cinn translornicil [)V drama dirfclor Del PrcH-tcir intci Mrs. I.cvctl.

Talent is not only a gift, but is is an end result of a person ' s dedica- tion. Along with this comes the many hours spent developing one ' s talent into a shining product, and when the time is right, others experience the joy of see- ing these products. An opportunity arises annually for students to express their talent during the talent show, Etc, in April. As drama head Del Proctor commented, The Etc. ' 84 provides an excellent opportu- nity for students to participate in an area besides sports, drama, or music, and it helps us to realize a lot of talent- ed people within the student body we Junior Sandy Paul completes a snappy move in the flag dance entitled .Jazz with Pizza?. . photo by Steve Hug Clowning around with invisible strings, senior Kim Simpson and junior Stacy Nash perform their talent show pantomime. pftoto by Bill Cba- didn ' t know were there before. Each year the talent show provides for a wide variety of talent carrying the theme of Entertainment Tonite , this years theme. Some unique aspects of the show were an authentic Bharatna- tym classical Indian dance, Elvis re- created in concert for the evening, and a silent puppet song of human mario- nettes. Another aspect of the talent show was that of musical ability. Many outstanding piano solos shared the evenings stage with equally as many vo- cal solos. Small groups also performed throughout the show, ranging in variety from the charming tiny tots, complete with lollipops and ballons, to the heavy metal sound of a rock band. The talent show also offered a lot of energetic dancing in the solo and group ranges. A favorite solo dance, which in- cluding break dancing, drew an over- whelming response, as did a presicion flag dance routine. Not only does the talent show pro- vide the chance for students to express their talent more openly, but it is also educational, as Proctor summed things up, The students learned how to orga- nize themselves and work together to get things accomplished, and they put on a good perfoTmance. written by Lisa Bloom. 176 — Etc.

' 84 — 179 jr%. % ommon Girl Becomes A Princess It ' s a cool March night in London and the year is 1912. The opera has just ended for the evening and the Lords and Ladies mingle with the Cockneys as they await the taxis. Excuse me cap ' n, buy a flow ' r off a poor gal ' ? asks a common girl, Eliza Doolittle (played by Senior Vicki Stoll), to Colonel Picker- ing (played by Senior Marty Powell), an elderly gentleman of the upper class. Little does Eliza know that she is to become the object of a tedious project to transform her from a common flower girl to a respectable lady. Eliza ' s horrendous English becomes the project for professor Henry Higgins (played by junior Chris Bojrab) who is a master at phoenetics. He teams up with Pickering, and through many seemly vain attempts, Eliza conquers her Eng- lish. She is then put to the test at the Ascot horserace, arrives when Eliza is taken to the Embassy Ball and is passed off as a Hungarian Princess. Eliza ' s life is so changed that even her drunken father, Alfred P. Doolittle (played by Sophomore Joel Scribner), is turned into an upper class gentleman. Now that Higgins ' project is over, Eliza is to leave. The end result however, is that of Eliza and Higgins ' struggle to reach the conclusion that they need each other. The curtain closes as Hig- gins and Eliza unite at the end. But what has gone on behind that closed curtain for a month before hand is in- deed a story in itself. Above — Senior Maria Wills tries to waver the candle flame by correctly pronouncing her H ' s as Eliza Doolittle. Below — Pickering (senior Marty Powell) (senior Vicki Stoll) and Higgins (junior Chris Bojrab) create a Spanish dance in celebration of Eliza ' s conquering of her English.

Freshman Rob Sandmaier and junior Matt James exchange astonished glances as Alfred P. Dolittle (sophomore Joel Scribner) learns of his daughter, Eliza ' s good fortune. A colorless display of black and white are empha- sized as the upper class horserace fans begin tak- ing their places for the beginning of the race, which is to be Eliza ' s first meeting with the upper class.

After more than 70 auditions, the cast and princi- pals of 56 were selected. The talent for the role of Eliza Doolittle was to be divided between seniors Vicky Stoll and Maria Wills. At first we were all wondering if the double casting would work, but when we got into it, things were really a lot of fun, commented Chris, and as Marty added, Both girls really proved themselves worthy of any acting role. Along with the challenge of learning the Cockney slang and the British ac- cent, came the never ending enforced by Proctor to stay in character! Pro- jecting someone else ' s personality and habits are hard as Vicki added about playing Eliza, It was a difficult role to play because she makes a very dramatic change throughout the show that is very difficult to get across. And as Chris added about portraying Higgins, It seems like a contradiction but the more defined a character is, the easier it is to make that character an extension of yourself. In the end the characters were cre- ated as best they could be and the nights of April twenty-sixth, twenty- seventh, and twenty-eighth were all times to show off all the hard work that had gone into them, both by the cast and stage crew, and the orchestra. I thought the whole show was strong and was very well put together. The end result has brought nothing but compli- ments, beamed Proctor, written by Lisa Bloom.

JF American s Goal To Promote Togetherness Afro-American Club sponsor A.C. Eldridge mo- derates a recent meeting of the organization. photo by Doug Laslie On alternate Thursdays, a chance visitor to upper A-hall after school can hear the melodic strain of Lift every Voice and Sing, the Black National anthem wafting through the halls. Under the advisors A.C. Eldridge, Keith Scott, and Fred Blanks, and stu- dent leaders Chairman Maurice Nelson, Vice-Chairman Tonya Fields, Secretary Sherri Smith, and Treasurer Shanta Springer, up to 160 students gather in A-200 to form the Afro- American Club. The Afro-Club has been in existence since school began, but has not always had the enormous success of this year. Junior Sharlese Johnson says, In the past years ... I didn ' t hear that much. I wanted to be in it so I could build it, so it would be a more recognizable organi- zation in the community and school. So far this year, the Afro Club has been very successful. For Thanksgiving, they donated a basket of food and a Twenty-five dollar coupon at Scott ' s to families through the Welfare Bureau. Other events included skating parties, dances, and a parents ' banquet. They also provided tutoring for other stu- dents and babysitting during basketball games. But this is not the main goal of the Afro-American Club. Junior Maurice Nelson feels that the purpose is To start something that will leave a lasting impression on the school. Smith feels that the club should, Promote togeth- erness in the black community and strive to make people want to join. Eldridge states, The purpose is to provide a meaningful experience at Northrop High School for any student who is interested in the black cultural experience in America. written by Jeff Wunrow.

Mr. Peterson also taught Typing, Busi- ness Arithmetic, Business Organization and management, and Recordkeeping classes and was formerly a Boy ' s Track and Boy ' s Cross Country coach. The FCA had 15 to 20 regular mem- bers, and at least 60 athletes who at- tended meetings at least once. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is a national organization of junior high school, high school, college and profes- sional athletes and coaches who have as their central purpose: To present to other athletes and coaches, and all whom they influence, the challenge and adventure or receiving Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, serving Him in their various relationships and in the fellow- ship of the church. During the 1983-4 school year, the FCA was involved in such activities as Over-night Lock-ins (games, movies, Bible study, fun, food, and fellowship), joint meetings with Concordia High School ' s FCA after basketball games, a swim and pizza party, a bowling party, and a Christmas party for a State School. FCA members also helped in commu- nity events such as the Three Rivers Festival Parade, Special Olympics track meet, a Bowl-a-thon for Big Brothers- Big Sisters, and the Dogpatch Olym- pics. Mr. Peterson commented, FCA is not only good for one ' s athletic morale but for ones over-all outlook on life. When we emulate Christ in our actions both on and off the field, how can we go wrong?

This proce- dure hadn ' t taken place since 1978. Ar- ticle two section one of the newly re- vised amendment stated, the purpose of the ecology Club shall be to interest the student body and to get involved in taking care of it. And they surely did get involved. The ecology club is a highly active group of individuals consisting of ap- proximately 20 active members. Any- one who likes people, the outdoors, and doesn ' t mind getting their feet and hands muddy will enjoy the Ecology Club. The club sponsor, Mr. John McCory, organized a number of diverse activities for the club. Under his leadership and supervision the club sponsored a paper and aluminum drive; as well as four booths in the Junior Class Carnival. The money the club earned through these fund raisers helped provide the money needed for the many activities in which the club participated. One of the out-of-town field trips the club sponsored was a cave trip to south- ern Indiana. Approximately 18 truespe- lunkers braved the harsh March weath- er to explore a part of their environ- ment that most have never seen before, the underground. After hours of dark- ness, mud, water and hills the club emerged with a new understanding of their environment. The club also participated in some local trips which included cross country skiing, bowling, and also a litter clean up. The major trip the club sponsored was a ten day trip, during Spring Break, to New Orleans and the surrounding areas. The 18 travelers took a riverboat tour, camped in 8 different states, swam in the ocean, and saw how people in other parts of the country live. Tom Blacketor commented that the trip was a blast! We all pulled together as a team and had fun. Mr. McCory ' s most memorable mo- ment of this year ' s club experience was, How the club survived and conquered the Huey Long bridge in New Orleans (which some drivers refused to ever drive over again.) A car wreck, getting lost, Judge Perey boulevard, animal crackers, hurricanes, cold meat sandwiches, cold showers, and grettory will always have a spe- cial meaning to the members of the 1983-84 Ecology Club. America is something to see, con- cluded Tom Blacketor, it ' s all out there just waiting for you to take time to go looking for it. written by Chris Sullivan.

The end product of this combination is the creation of school spirit. If a particular sport ' s season isn ' t going well, fans aren ' t interested. Spirit needs to be gen- erated and this is where the cheer- leaders step in. With the cheers, chants, smiles, and clapping for each team, their impression is, You are worth our time because all Northrop people are winners. Annual try-outs take place during the first part of March. There is a lot that goes into picking each potential cheer- leader. As sponsor Carol Freck ex- plains, Each girl has to go through a personal interview with me so that I can see a little of her personality. In addition to the interview, the selection criteria includes enthusiasm, execution, and difficulty of the cheers. The squads are selected and their season begins with the summer months. Twenty Northrop girls participated in a local Indiana cheerleading camp, spon- sored by Universal Cheerleading Asso- ciation. Also, the UCA national camp was attended by ten Northrop girls. The four-day camp touched on the techniques of warm-ups, cheers, rou- tines, and chants. Northrop not only won the spirit stick for most spirited group, but also returned home with three superior-rating ribbons. One rib- bon was for spirit, another for camp chant, and lastly, one for execution of cheers. Also highlighting the summer was a new weight lifting program de- signed to build muscles for better ex- ecution of gymnastics. A new approach was taken with the routines by, Adding more original moves and gymnastics to improve school spirit, commented senior Sher- rie Wilson. Senior Kelley Daugherty added, Simple chants are one of the best ways of getting the student body involved. Spirit was their main goal and throughout the year they promoted it in various ways. They were responsible for the homecoming fireworks, the fiery Bruin letters, the bonfire, and other fes- tivities during homecoming week. Along with the newly formed spirit booster group, school spirit was defi- nitely on the rise in 1984, and cheer- leaders helped to make it grow, written by Lisa Bloom Above — Varsity Cheerleaders: (L to R) Shanta Sprinj;er, .Jill Glaze, Kelly Doughtery, Sherrie Smith, Holly Leonard, Gina Baughman, Tonja Godfrey, Kim Suter, Cindy Thompson, Diane Delgrosso.

Not only do they pro% ' ide an excellent opportunity to ex- plore different fields of learning, but also they provide the chance to develop already acquired skills in a variety of ways. Through being a club member, students gain the satisfaction of reach- ing goals that have been set for the group. Striving to achieve goals and to learn are a few of the strengths behind the National Distributive Education Clubs of America, better known as DECA. DECA is a club which deals with the marketing enterprise, It is the only student organization operating through the nation ' s schools to attract indivi- duals to careers in marketing, ex- plained business teacher Miss Jennifer Titzer. All of DECA ' s activities center around what is being taught in the classroom and it provides the opportu- nity for students to become more in- volved in marketing, merchandising, and management. DECA is set up so that students can participate in many areas such as sales product, career workshops, social ac- tivities, and civic projects such as the Adoption of a Christmas Bureau Fam- ily project. With this experience the students gain extra knowledge which will put them ahead for the future. Titzer explained that DECA helps stu- dents develop leadership characteris- tics and a better understanding of the free enterprise system. This in turn helps the students in developing the vo- cational understandings necessary to compete in marketing, merchandising and management careers. Through DECA, a career-oriented, competitive spirit is also established which helps to put the learned pro- cesses of business into action. The club competes with other clubs in the dis- trict, state, and national level competi- tive events. DECA promotions during National DECA week, and senior em- ployer-employee appreciation activities are also used to display the progress and achievements of DECA. The end results are designed to help students grow and develop with the use of many activities, and this is turn bet- ter prepares them for the future world of business. Another business club that is also successful in helping students to gain experience and to expand in the knowl- edge of a career field is Office Education Association, or OEA. This club is a sup- pliment to the COE business class of- fered during school, and it offers the chance for competitivness in areas of business such as shorthand, accounting, and typing. Since the OEA club is closely busi- ness related, it provides the opportuni- ty for students to list fact on a resume for a job which lets the employer know that this student has competed in com- petitive events in his or her career area, explained Mr. Richard Housel, and it also provides the chance for stu- dents to exercise leadership abilities in their business areas. The club mainly consists of seniors with many of them being on the job during part of the school day in banks, offices, and other places of business. By being a member of OEA many students are able to better themselves and are able to stay a step ahead of the competi- tion, written by Lisa Bloom.

Jennifer Titzer Rick Housel DECA OEA — 193 Spirited Bruinettes Dance Through ' 84 From Monday thru Thursday even- ings from 6 to 9 p.m., in the hot su nmer heat as well as the cool fall, the Bruin- ettes practiced for the long-awaited ISSMA State Contest on October 31. This is it! Barry Ashton, band di- rector, shouted as last inspiring words as the BOP marked time to start the show. Thoughts of those words as well as the months of practice went through the minds of each Bruinette as they performed their flag and dance routine to their best ability contributing the BOP ' s visual show. The Bruinettes felt determined to accomplish their goal to be number 1 not only for themselves and Northrop, but also for Mr. Ashton, who was still recovering from his back operation. But all the hard work payed off when the Big Orange Pride was named 1983 State Champion. Once marching band season was over it became a fond memory for most, but not for the Bruinettes. They kept going. The second half of the Bruinette ' s re- sponsibility — basketball season — was just beginning. During the, summer the Bruinettes attended a three-day camp at Ball State where each girl learned several different routines and in turn taught them to the rest of the squad throughout the season. These routines were performed during pregame, half- time, and along the side lines. There was not only a lot of pressure on each girl in learning two new routines for each home game but there was pressure in the performances as well to keep up the reputation the Bruinette thus far had built. Many times the girls made such things as cookies and cupcakes as an inspiration to the basketball team. Having dancing talent was not all that was expected from a Bruinette. Good citizenship, grades, attendance, and a good attitude toward learning was also required. It was a lot of work, explained sophomore Lori Miller, but it was a fun way to be a part of Nor- throp. written by Carolyn Spake Left — Junior Paula Davis performs the annual clown routine that the new pom-pon girls do. photo by Chris Sullivan.

FoM-Pons J lag And Kifle Contribute To Corps BOP Northrop ' s 1983-1984 color guard, which was composed of ten rifle mem- bers, thirty-two flag members, and four alternates, were for the most part unre- cognized for their hard work and im- portant contributions to the 1983 State Champions, Northrop ' s Big Orange Pride. Assistant Band Director, Mr. Klee re- alizes the importance of the flag and rifle crops. He said, It ' s impossible to win a state championship without an outstanding guard. The corps performance this year was particularly impressive, especially dur- ing the state championship finals, where there were no dropped rifles or flags the entire nine minutes. Junior Deena Hamlin commented, Winning state was the greatest. The rifle corp was the best it has ever been. It seems when we were under pressure the whole group became one. Junior Mary Jo El- worthy, also a rifle, stated, Being a part of the number one marching band in Indiana has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. I felt the rifle corp did an excellent job this year. Fi- nally Junior Debbie Peterson, a rifle, said, The look of the rifle corp really changed this year. Instead of doing ri- fles only, we worked with hoops, small flags, and big flags. It added a lot of variety to the band. The flag corp was honored as an Out- standing Flag Corp at the Indiana Tournament of Bands in Chesterton. Junior Judy Kramer, a flag, stated, Many people feel that band is easy and that anyone can runaround a field but it takes alot of cocjrdination, precision, and talent. Sophomore Karen Winn, also a flag, commented, Winning state paid off for all the hours we spent prac- ticing and getting the routine right. Mr. Klee praised the corps, As one of the most important groups I ' ve ever been associated with. They ' re a very dedicated group of young women. I ' m very proud of them. Written by Amy Vaughan.

It is a skill that must be perfected through practice. The speech team per- fects the art of effective public speaking while competing against their peers for honor, ribbons, and trophies. This year in speech was one of rebuilding, consid- ering that roughly half of the speakers were freshmen. However, this factor didn ' t hold them back. According to team coach, Mr. Lincoln Record, the team ' s goal was to bring home trophies from half of their meets. They overstepped that goal, winning trophies at all the meets, finishing in the top five in all but the Dekalb meet. Because of the young team, Mr. Record said, We started out trying to compete against ourselves to better our own per- formance. Thanks to the very talented and enthusiastic team members, they bettered their own performance and the performances of many others. Junior John Gulyas related a little story about when he met his personal goal of placing first in his event. After receiving my first place trophy, I nearly broke my ankle jumping off the stage in victory! he said. At that same meet, Rossville, the team placed third. Later in the season, the team made a second place showing in the Sectional tourna- ment and placed fourth in Regionals, sending eight speakers to the State competition. Junior Scott Barnett with last minute partner Quint Bratton, placed ninth overall with their con- densed version of the movie Brian ' s Song, sophomore Rob Johnston made it to semi-finals in his event of impromp- tu. Senior John Robinson, sophom ore Beth Duncan, and juniors Laura Geiger, John Gulyas, and Tim Stelle also at- tended the state meet. Freshman Mike O ' Hear reasoned, We received first place in five meets and second in many more, including Sectionals. Considering our age, we had an outstanding season, compareable to the young LU. team defeating North Carolina in the NCAA tournament. Mr. Record commented that the biggest problem with a young team is that the young members don ' t see the relation- ship between practice and performance, but this team obviously overcame that malady to some degree to build the great season they did. Record summed it up in saying, I think it ' s more than any of us dreamed it would be. We have set a high goal for the next two years. written by Kim Simpson Speech Team: Row 1 — Coach Line Record.

Two, large, fuzzy arms are always outstretched When the tears from the spanking fall hard. And the puffy pink cheeks in the end are drenched As the comforted child sleeps on. His twinkling button eyes light up with joy As he is grasped from the cold wooden floor. And his stitched yarn smile still stays the same. Even though he was bruised from the fall. His patience remains when he is dressed for tea, And no complaints are heard, As one by one the snacks are gobbled down, And teddy is left with none. At the close of the day he is set on a shelf And the last of the lights are fading. But still in the dimness a twinkle comes through As teddy watches after his friend.

The competition was open to juniors and seniors and drew twenty-five entries. The students entered three ot five pages of their poet- ry to be judged by a panel of English teachers. The judges ' decision was an- nounced during the Senior Recognition program. Senior John Bohn was the 1984 win- ner and was presented a plaque by Mr. Madden. One of his winning poems is printed on the right. Mb A Thought It came upon me, oh, so slow Walking silent, bending low. Its image shadowed by the light. It came and passed as if in flight. I clutched at it as if to hold This thing so frail, but yet, so bold. It moved, it wiggled, as if to flee. But it could not get away from me. I know now what it was I caught; I had captured ... a human thought. — Rebecca McHenry The High Priests of the Hewlett-Packard The Hif!h Priests of the Hewlett-Packard Meet daily in their Holy of Holies, The Computer Room.

How has teaching changed since you started teaching? Teaching has changed a great deal since I began my career in 1950. For one thing, teachers today must deal with students of all abilities and all races, and they must make provisions to teach those with handicaps and learning dis- abilities. These changes are for the bet- ter. Most schools were segregated then, and most students of low ability or with handicaps were either forced out of school or not allowed to attend school in the first place. Also, the teacher had a textbook (of- ten a very old edition) and not much more. He did not have supplementary books, test booklers, ditto machines, unlimited reams of paper, and, of course, computers. He had to be ex- tremely self-reliant. He also had to teach for $2400 to $2700 per school year. The janitor who swept his floor made more, and factory workers made twice as much as teachers in 1950. Still, I believe he was respected more for what he did for students than he is to- day. Many students and parents do not seem to be aware of the tremendous amount of preparation, paper-grading, sacrifice, and stress that goes into being a successful teacher in 1984. How have students ' attitudes changed through your years of teaching? When I began teachin g, students were in awe of teachers, almost afraid of them. Corporal punishment was uni- versal. I ' m sorry to say that some phys- ical punishment was administered in the past that bordered on abuse. But I ' m proud to say that I never felt cor- poral punishment was a necessary tool for my classroom. I have refused to use it over the years and was glad when most corporations abolished it in high school. There are those who would like to reinstate it in high school, but I ' m not one of them. There are excellent teaching methods today that do not in- clude the use of fear. Since students are not as fearful as they once were, they are more open and honest about their views and feelings. They are more prone to disagree with their teacher or even argue with him. but if handled properly, the disagree- ment can be a healthy exchange of views; and if the teacher is skillful enough, he can turn such discussions into learning experiences for the whole class. He should accept challenges as a good parent would, and he should never tell a student that his or her question is stupid. That just stifles further ques- tions and impedes learning. Of course many students are watch- ing too much television today, and oth- ers are working too many hours on out- side jobs as excuses for not getting homework done. I admire the parents today who still insist, as mine did, that homework must be completed and ap- proved by them before anything else is done. Students with parents who do that, have a good attitude toward school and invariably do well in their subjects. Would you care to share any re- memberences of schools, students or teachers? The old South Bend Central High School was a particular favorite of mine during the fifties and sixties. It had a fine racial mix before busing really be- gan. I liked it because it had a school spirit. That spirit worked for academics as well as athletes and other extra-cur- ricular activities. Central won a state championship in every sport that recog- nized a champion then, including swim- ming. It won two basketball champion- 212 — William Madden Feature ships in five years, 1953 and 1957. But it was much more than a sports school. Academic standards were high, and sev- eral of my English students won NCTE awards. Central ' s math students won state contests, and it had the top sci- ence student in the nation. That stu- dent had his picture on the cover of Time magazine and also had a meeting with President Kennedy in the White House. It was at Central where I taught speech to Mike Warren who now ap- pears as Bobhy Hill on Hill Street Blues. Few people know that he was also a state champion basketball player who went on to play with Kareem Ab- dul Jabbar at U.C.L.A. In three schools in Fort Wayne I have found many outstanding teachers and students over the past fifteen years. Snider is a strong academic school. Wayne is smaller but has produced NCTR winners and winners of the Pur- due short story writing contest twice under a five creative writing teacher, Mr. Allen Peters. And Northrop, too, is beginning to make its influence felt around the state in both academics and shorts. I have been here just four years, but I feel it has the best chance of devloping that winning combination of academics, shorts, and school spirit of any school I ' ve been in since the closing of South Bend Central. How does it fee! to be a published writer? 1 have had just a couple of things published, l)ut it ' s a good feeling to have people want to pay money for something I have written. More teach- ers should try their hand at writing, but it ' s difficult to teach and write at the same time. There just aren ' t enough hours in the day. What are your plans for retire- ment? I ' m retiring seven years early, but that ' s better than seven years too late. I have had some teachers myself who stayed long after the magic was gone. They not only made the students mis- erable, but they themselves were miser- able. I ' d like to do some more writing. perhaps about some of my World War II experiences, such as the battle of Iwo Jima. There are several other ideas I have for stories and articles also. If I can ' t live on my retirment in- come, 1 will, of course, need to get a part time job; or perhaps I can sell another story or two. I played the role of Major Whistler at Historic Fort Wayne for four summers, and I might do some work there again. Have you enjoved teachin} at Northrop? Why? Northrop has proved to be the per- fect school for my last four years of teaching. It provides a good learning climate for students of all abilities. Dis- cipling is firm but fair. The faculty, ad- ministration, and staff are capable and very friendly to newcomers. Maybe it ' s because it ' s my last year, but my stu- dents have been especially cooperative and appreciative. I wcjuldn ' t mind send- ing my own son here. In fact, I did, and he ' s still here — on the faculty now, I have no regrets. Farewell, North- rop. WilUiam B.

Going Toward The Future But Remembering The Past As the rays of the sun warm the beginnings of a tan into our bared arms at lunch, our minds are occupied with the end . The end of a school year also means the beginning of summer vaca- tion and the beginning of a new year to come. For each locker that is stripped of its very personal clut- ter, another will be filled to ca- pacity with someone else ' s trea- sured possessions. For each dirty footprint that leaves the dark- ened Northrop halls, another will replace it coming in. It ' s all so very repetitious. Everyone moves in, going yet higher or broader in position. Freshmen become sophomores, sophomores become juniors, ju- niors become seniors, and then Where we go, what we leave behind, and what we take with us are our questions in life. No one is quite sure where everyone else will go or what they will leave after them, but everyone will take a little of Northrop with them, written by Kim Simpson Just dunking it in, junior Bruce Brineman shoots up above the heads of the Bishop Dwenger Saints.

Continuing success is the only way to go. Oh God, Oh God, please hear our voices. Help us all to make the right choices. We wish not to follow a path. But rather to make a trail. Finding out for ourselves what the future unveils. It ' s been real. — Tracy A. Thomas So Long! The 1984 edition of Northop Bea Tracks was published under the direc tion of Mr. Douglas Laslie.

A note from the staff We did some different things with this yearbook, some things that haven ' t been done here before and some that haven ' t been done for a long time. We tried to make this your yearbook, one that you would enjoy. We hope that we have done that and that you enjoyed the Year of the Bruin as much as we did.
