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.

. . . 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
