The following seniors talk about some of the most important changes that have happened to them during the past four years.

My ideas and values on what is really im- portant in my life have changed. Sherwin Springer said, ' 1 really thank Mrs. Clancy who used to write all my homework. Ann Stone has changed in some personal ways. ' Tve become more outgoing and have learned how to make friends easier, she said. Eric Gaumer said, ' Northrop and the friends I met here are very important to me. High School is a time to open up opportunities to young people and I think Northrop has a lot to offer. From the time I was a freshman, up to my senior year, I ' ve learned to appreciate many things. But from all the seniors, life here at Northrop has been a real good exper- ience and shadows of these times will never be forgotten. — Johnny Amos OPENING
