In fact, that ' s what being a Northrop student was all about. And being crazy opens up the possibilities for a fun year. photo Mi- chelle Trowbridge OPENING 1987 Was One Crazy Year fs tudents of Northrop High School, do us a favor. f When you think back on the crazy times that you O experienced this year, run outside and scream! If screaming isn ' t your cup of tea, do something out- rageous because 1987 was one crazy year. School was not one big playground (as we were constantly remind- ed), but it wasn ' t all dull either. Bringing out the best in your personality, and having zest for life is what getting crazy is all about! It ' s not even the planned activities that make life so exciting. It ' s more the way we lived our day to day lives. It ' s taking the ordinary experie nces like going to class and to work and turning those experiences into some- thing memorable. — That ' s something a true Bruin is good at doing.

We face decisions about college, jobs, moving away from home, and even marriage. At times these choices seem so far away from our daily lives of school, activities and work. But the grow- ing piles of mail from colleges and the ever-approaching date of graduation are constant reminders of the future. Our high school years are said to be the best years of our lives, but we can make the years ahead even better by planning and working now. Make the most of your future, but make it full of happiness, good times, and sensational experiences. Sara Seibert Gina Snowberger OPENING One of the major fall activities was the fall play. photo Watters Studio STUDENT LIFE - TOGETHER Wild Activities Fill The Year f razy people doing outra- f geous things — that ' s !• what Student Life is all about. And in the lives of Nor- throp students one idea rules: Bruins love to have a good time. This is easy to tell by the way students acted during that wild week called Home- coming. It wasn ' t long after Homecoming before the se- niors initiated a Halloween dress-up day for the school to enjoy. Then at the first sign of cold weather the seniors were off to the Bahamas for an out- rageous seniors only party at the beach. There were also events like Spring Break and the Morp which showed the true personality of the Bruin. Of course behind all of the school activities were the day to day events that made the year unique. Even a regular school day and work day can turn into something spectacu- lar when a Bruin is involved — and involved is one thing that most Bruins are. The year wasn ' t all crazi- ness though, we also have to remember times like the Prom and Graduation — things stu- dents look forward to for a whole lifetime and will never forget. These moments, though not wild or crazy, were special none-the-less for all in- volved. Now enough of this talk, just turn the page and see these crazy things for yourself. Sara Seibert Gina Snowberger Waiting for the magical moment to ar- rive is the 1986-87 Homecoming Court. photo Watters Studio STUDENT LIFE J I Homecoming Week was for spirit And everyday was so very different Nerds and sweats and togas ... oh my! m omecoming has come and gone, but it left with f I tt memories of a bizarre, fun-filled and (of course) a cra- zy year. Northrop kicked off its 16th annual Homecoming festival on Monday with Lick ' em and Sweats Day. Cheerleaders R psby, Brian Wesolowski, Mike Kevin Tkacz. and The Un- - 3w their spirit, not to auty as they cheer the 3ms to victory, photo- idge sold flavored lollipops while the Bruin student body showed their spirit with sweats. The week continued on Tuesday with Nerd Day and Crazy Hairdo Day. Nerds strolled the hall with taped glasses, high waters and notes from mom while other stu- dents sported their favorite hairdo. Wednesday was jersey day. Students wore the jersey of their favorite sport or activity. The Senior class also took the initiative to claim Wednesday as Toga Day. These wild cos- tumes added to the atmo- sphere of the week. Thursday was the day to hit the beach and sun your bod as Hawaiian Day arrived. The traditional beach party in the commons became picture perfect with a pink flamingo overlooking a pool filled with goldfish. Students displayed their school spirit by dressing in the most outlandish and col- orful Hawaiian clothing. — Sara Seibert — Gina Snowberger No, it ' s not the ordinary way that stu- dents travel through the halls, it ' s just Senior Heather Roe flying through the commons on her skateboard during the beach party. photo Lisa Aker • HOMECOMING Weezer Lisa Aker grunts, A-ughh!!! in honor of Nerd Day.

HOMECOMING Football team defeats Luers 3-0 in OT Pep session tops off the week Go! Fight! Beat Luers! . . . and dance the night away rriday was the day that everyone had been wait- ing for. During the day, j ' .re :; cessec c B r ov n and Orange Day and some students brought their favorite teddy bear to school. The Se- nior class also organized Se- nior Lunch Box Day causing students to dig out their favor- ite lunch time pals from long ago. Friday also included the first pep session of the year. It fea- tured a Pee Wee Herman look- alike contest which brought some talented students out in front of the crowd. Mr. Irresist- ible, Scott Reynolds was crowned above his competi- tors Herman Black, Donnie Martinez, and Todd Welch. Another event that took place during the pep session was a Banana Eating contest involving five varsity football players. Two other varsity football players, Shane Marti- nez and Matt Taylor, were joined together by a strand of licorice. The Bruin student body was caught up in an ar- ray of enthusiasm during the pep session which kept the students and faculty alike fired up for the rest of the day. That night, Homecoming became a reality. Northrop de- feated Bishop Luers 3-0 in overtime. At halftime, the Homecoming Court was rec- ognized. Amid the glamour and excitement of the evening, Senior Rochelle Reinking was crowned Homecoming Queen. She was escorted by Sir Mi- chael Hamilton. The Home- coming Court consisted of Se- niors Robin Davis, Rhonda Stiles.and Julie Poling. Juniors Chrissy Saunders, Vanessa Williams, and Dawn Rice. Sophomores Stacey Hughes, Lisa Edwards, and Sonji Green. Freshmen Jessica Har- rison, Tonya Hart, and Nicole Tubbs. The Homecoming dance was the biggest hit ever. Some 900 students attended the dance. Unique Lighting and Sound provided the sounds of today ' s music. Another highlight of the eve- ning was the Lip Sync Contest in which the Bruin student body performed their talents of copying another artist ' s song. Various groups were presented on stage from Van Halen to Bananarama. The hit of the evening was Matt Wyatt performing as Robert Palmer and his back up band. — Sara Seibert — Heather Roe — Gina Snowberger The Award-winning Big Orange Pride enterla r r ialftime of the ling Game. photo Watters In a wild show of spirit Junior Varsity and Reserve cheerleaders show their Bruin pride as they await the football team. photo Watters Studio 10 STUDENT LIFE Senior Steve Stedge leads the varsity Bruins onto the Homecoming battle- field, photo Watters Studio nez.

Photo Watters Studio Homecoming 11 A We made it through school by finding unique activities for fun Northrop ' s Crazy Days rhe only possible way to get through the dread- ed days of school is to make the most of them. This year, we kept ourselves sane with whatever craziness we could get away with. Coming in late was the tra- ditional way to see just how far you could push your teachers. Skipping school and not get- ting caught was almost mis- sion impossible for most stu- dents since the school cracked down on skipping. On October 31, 1986, we had our first Halloween dress- up day. Students dressed up as trees, angels, M M ' s, clowns, Rambo, etc. Some days it seemed liked the only way to get through lunch was to grin and wear it. Jokes could be heard all day long about that day ' s award winning lunch and once in awhile, you could see it plas- tered against the wall. Yester- day ' s spaghetti turned into to- day ' s pizza. But beyond the normal school-lunch jokes was the fun of talking with friends and planning the next escapade. The seniors traveled to the Bahamas on November 11, to sun themselves and enjoy a day of shopping, sun and fun. Spring Break is that sacred time when students break away from boring teachers and the ole school routine and literally go nuts. This vacation was the only real haven that we had from school and of course all Bruins used it to its full potential: parties, food, fun, vacations, friends, and that wonderful, but unusual thing called sleep were major items on spring break agen- das.

Movies, dances, res- tauraunts. parties, and athletic events, among others, make up our crazy nights. Parties were a crazy experi- ence for some students this year. Halloween parties, Christmas parties, and spring break parites all tie into cele- From cruisin ' the city to workin ' late at night We really knew how to have fun after hours Northrop ' s Crazy Nights brating an outrageous year. Some students were taught a lesson in party planning and going early in the year. The lesson for hosts was that it is not always advisable to plan a party when your parents are out of town for the weekend. The lesson for partygoers was that you should consider what is at stake if you are caught. One of the most stressful times during the year was mid- term. Grades suddenly be- came the most important thing in some student ' s eyes. Class- es forgotten about for most of the year now became as im- portant as life and death as students strived to pass ex- ams on one night cram sessions. An automobile is a terrible thing to waste. The money spent on gas also is but that is not even considered when you wrestle Mom ' s keys away from her for a night of cruising with your friends. This is strictly a no-couples-allowed activity because it is no fun to cruise for guys with your boyfriend sitting beside you. Many teens spend hours and many gallons of gas just driving around not to mention the time spent try- ing to convince parents that you actually were just driving around. The craziest night of all ar- rived on May 16 as couples joined to attend the Prom. Students busied themselves deciding who they were going with, what they would wear, and what they would do after the prom. As the year neared its end a whole new group of social ac- tivities began — graduation parties. The entire month of June is specifically set aside for celebrating with your favor- ite grads. So students continue to suf- fer through those unbearable days slaving away in the class- room with only one thing on their minds to get them through — tonight I ' m going to .. . — Gina Snowberger — Sara Seibert Members of the chain gang, Seniors Dan Barkley.

Watch out! Allen Flint may have captured you on Candid Camera! Catching people do- ing the unexpected was the whole idea and throughout the year, there were many oppor- tunities to catch the moments — and we caught lots of them! Special days during the year like the spirit days for Home- coming or Halloween Day caught students in the act of outrageousness. But the day to day activities when students weren ' t expecting to be watched proved interesting too. Pep sessions were the best times to catch students in the act of just having a good time. Pep chants, cheering, and watching skits helped keep the spirit of Northrop within all of us. The lunchroom was an- other place were students could be caught just being themselves. Throughout the year many occasions brought forth the opportunity to take pictures of students just fooling around. For instance catching stu- dents in the halls without passes, and what a surprise it was to them when they thought you were going to ask for their pass and you simply just took a sneak photo. Throughout the year we caught many students doing things they weren ' t supposed to, and hopefully we caught some teachers to. Service workers were also a good source for taking unexpected pictures. It was even better to take pictures of them because most of the time they were caught in the act of displaying unusual behavior. — that which is usually unknown not seen by the fellow student body. What made the most fun about taking candid shots was the unexpected pranks played on teachers that were caught by the eye of the camera. — Sara Seibert — Gina Snowberger — Heather Roe Be serious!

Not surpris- ingly, the 1986 production of Flowers for Algernon did an excellant job of upholding the strong tradition. The plot begins when an op- eration designed to increase intelligence is performed on the mouse Algernon, under the care of Professor Harold Nemur, played by Rob Rout- Mrs. Mony (Jaci Malis) shows Charlie (Ron Sandmaier) his new home. photo Watters Studio Meredith Graves.

The opera- tion, showing all the indica- tions of success was then per- formed on thirty-two year old Charlie Gordon (I.Q. 68). In a matter of months Charlie ' s in- telligence increased to 185. As Charlie ' s intelligence in- creased, painful memories of his childhood were recalled through dreams. As his intelli- gence increased, so did his emotional level, and he soon found himself in love with his teacher, Alice Kinmian, por- trayed by Stacy Ferro. Although Alice had mutual feeli ngs for Charlie, the rela- tionship was constantly plagued by Charlie ' s internal struggle between the genius and the person he was before the operation. It is during this time that Charlie learns of Al- gernon ' s regression and starts to fear for his own future. In a fit of desperation Charlie snatches Algernon and runs. The play becomes a race for time, with Charlie struggling to find a way to retain his intelli- gence before he loses it. Charlie eventually goes into reclusion, refusing to let Alice see his deteriorationg condi- tion. On his way back to the institution, his regression now complete, Charlie paused in a touching scene to tenderly place flowers on Algernon ' s grave; whom he feels was his only true friend. The last scene took place when Charlie walked into his old classroom and greeted is former-love and teacher with his old, childish welcome, to which Alice runs off the stage in tears. Charlie replied, Well, I guess I pulled a real Charlie Gordon that time, and the stage dark- ened, with barely a dry eye in the house. Rob Sandmaier did a su- perb job portraying all aspects of Charlie Gordon. As usual, the Northrop drama depart- ment ' s production will not soon be forgotten. — Linda Bentz FALL PLAY CAST MEMBERS Dr. Strauss Karin Rittenberg Professor Nemur Rob Routzahn Alice Kinnian Stacy Ferro Burt Seldon Jason Barnhart Charlie Gordon Rob Sandmaier Doris Dartanya Simpson Frank Matt Higle Gina Valerie Pacer Mrs. Donner Terena Inman Joe Arthur Booker Mother Meg Brown Little Charlie Joel Grove Father Mike Miller Little Norma Angie Frier Mrs. Feldman Michelle De Parales Ellen Lisa Glock Teen-Age Charlie Jon Sandmaier Bernice Angela Bolenbaugh Connee Gigi Shirk Chairlady Jennifer Comparet Mrs. Mooney Jaci Malis Mrs. Nemur Terrie Rudig Mr. Harvey Dustin Siders Jackie Welberg Laurie De Mato Anne Welberg Meredith Graves Norma Chelsie Charleston Also play a party guest and concert goer Also play a party guest Charlie Rob Sandmaier expresses his feelings about Algernon ' s condition to his teacher Stacy Ferro. photo Wat- ters Studio Mike Miller and Meg Brown are part of Charlie ' s violent childhood memories. photo Watters Studio FALL PLAY 19 Students reverse roles for crazy night Bob Stoll reigns at MORP It was this year ' s 1987 Se- nior Class Officers who put on the biggest Morp ever! It was a total success as more than 400 Bruins danced to the tunes DJ ' d by Jettson from WXKE FM 104. As the fourth annual event approached, excitement from the NHS student body over- whelmed the halls. Enthusiasm spread through the school as the MORP date came near. Because the MORP is prom spelled backward the object to the date was for the girl to ask the guy out. She would take care of the whole evening Senior John Byer and his escort Jenny Norman dance to the hits spun by Jet- son from Rock 104 FM. photo Wat- ters Studio including dinner at the cheap- est restaurant in town. After- wards they went to the dance and continued to dance the night away. The atmosphere was wild and crazy as the crowd rocked with tunes spun by Jetson. The wild party continued through the evening. Friends and close companions got their pictures taken. At last, the moment everyone was waiting for: the crowning of the MORP King and his court. Senior Bob Stoll was crowned 87 MORP King wearing the of- fical Burger King Crown while his court, Seniors Dan Kepler, Don Min, James Suttle, and Mike Toles hung by. The MORP, sponsored by the 1987 Senior Class officers, was the best ever as was commmented by many fellow students. , , ,, _ ... — Heather C.

Spring Break officially be- gan March 27, as the annual migration south started for the Florida bound students. Oth- ers decided to stay home and work or just sleep for a week. It is a traditional ritual for the sun seekers to head to the most popular spot in the states, Florida! The land of sand, sun, surf, and fun. Most of all seniors wanted to get that tropical tan to show off on their first day back at school. The smell of sun tan oil filled the beach while sounds of MTV filled the air. It was a gathering of wild teenagers at the pool sides where those beautiful bronze bodies laid out in the blazing sun from 10 to 4 o ' clock! It was the wild ones that en- tered those crazy contests, which included wet t-shirt, bi- kini, best buns, and the crazi- est of all being the Eat-lt contest where the contestants engulfed themselves with food! When the sun went down it was a fight for the shower type contest as everyone returned to their rooms to get ready for the night life. Cruising the strip was a popular place to meet people from all over the states. Getting into the popular dance ■ : i u ■ I Hottest spot during Spring Break, the state of Florida! clubs was a feat in itself for some. Meeting Kenny Loggins was a great thrill for a few more of us. But don ' t let every- one fool you into thinking Flori- da weather was great all the time, Florida had its share of rain. Even though it snowed in the Fort, those who stayed in town found sleeping in and partying in the evening just as satisfying as going out of town. Many prefered to stay home and work because they needed the money! But the greatest of all was watching IU beat Syracuse to win the NCAA Championship. This was one of the best Spring Breaks that a Hoosier could have ever hoped for. — Heather C. Roe SPRING BREAK Bruin motorcycle gang cruises the Daytona Strip, on rent-a-bikes.

The evening was spent in a tropical paradise with palm trees, water fountain displays, and lovely floral arrangements displayed throughout the Ball- room. The theme for the 1987 Prom was A Night In Para- dise , with the theme song Almost Paradise. As the evening got underway the prom court was lined up out- side the Ballroom preparing for the crowning of the queen.

After the crowning of the queen the Garder Ceremony was started as a new tradition. While the drum role played each guy had the honor of re- moving his date ' s garder from her leg and putting it on his left arm. Those crazy seniors once again displayed their usual an- tics as they put the true mean- ing into having fun at the prom. The time went by quickly and the evening came to an end as couples left the prom arm in arm.

There will be many reunions to look for- ward to in the years to come as we will all prepare to meet again. As a class we will never all be together again but in our hearts and minds we will share a moment back in the past as we graduated May 31, 1987 as the Class of 1987. There are many memories left at Northrop that will be remem- bered always. Graduation was a day that Mark Neubauer gets a little help ad- lustlng his cap. photo Walters Studio we had all dreamed about. But it also meant a new beginning for us all. Graduation was our first big step into our new worlds. Along with graduation came fear of our new lives, ex- citement of what there is after school, preparing for college, and most of all how to cope with leaving home. The graduating class of 1987 left a mark at Northrop High School, not only aca- demically but also in leader- ship ability. The senior class gave a feeling of togetherness, unity, and enthusiasum to the school. The class of 87 made many accomplishments. They traveled to the Bahamas, they had the first Annual Semi-For- mal, and they left a mark of academic success. The moment we had all waited for after preparing for thirteen years had finally come and it was time to graduate: the sound of the trumpets played as we began our walk into our new futures. Michael O ' Hear , Jaci Malis, Matthew Wyatt and Renee Heffley ad- dressed the audience. Our names were called and we re- ceived our diplomas. It was one of the greatest moments in our lives as we had finished one of the great- est steps in our lives. It meant we had completed our first thirteen years of schooling. It marked an accomplishment that we had all endured. The atmoshpere was full of enthusiasum, cheer, hope, tears, and a feeling of accom- plishment. And most of all the rememberence of all the friendships that we had made over the years at Northrop. — Heather Roe 21 GRAD Valedictorian Mike O ' Hear and Salu- tatorian Jaci Malis lead the class of 1987 through commencement. photo Watters Studio The graduates anxiously wait in the basement of the Memorial Coliseum. photo Watters Studio Kelli Beery, Jeff Carnall, and Kim Critchlow play the traditional trumpets at commencement. photo Watters Studio Laurie DeMato, Laurie Buhr, and Ka- ren Hughes happily say good-bye to their high school days. photo Watters Studio.

Northrop sports many styles Everything is in!! Everyone is unique!! Everything from the street chic look to the new roman- tic look. These are the styles that are setting the trends for today ' s teen fashion scene. There ' s the true-blue Ameri- can look in updated denim on the comeback. From rustic to funky, sporty to sleek, there ' s a look for everyone on the comeback trail — the essence of Born in the U.S.A. style. A standard denim jean jacket, decorated with silver studs, multicolored beads, and a bolo tie to set the mood, worn with an Indian print pattern oversized sweater. The final ethnic touch: stone washed denim jeans edged with frayed seams and red hot boots. The international dress code from Paris, London, Milan, and Tokyo is setting a style example for the American teen trend setters. In Paris, the teens are wearing polyester skirts with muted colored tur- tle necks, gold-link chains and the ever black shades. To complete the mood, teens set the clothes off with a studded beret, colored leather gloves and a suede bag. When it comes to the Lon- don fashion, every outfit is unique. Your style expresses 1 y. s re apart of the - - oto Scotl FASHION Brian Wesolowski, better known as Wazz, poses with his buddy while working at American Eagle, photo Heather Roe your own individuality. London is still influencing style with white Beatle Boots. Streetwise styles eccentrically mixed with oversized menswear: a bold safron turtleneck, black and white leggings and a man-size blazer in mustard yellow. The Milanese teens set their look on the ivy league image: a shimmery orange bomber jacket with green plaid cropped pants, a solid flannel shirt. Milanese essentials are loafers with bobby socks. The style example of Tokyo is set in a exaggerated shaped mood: a white drop-collar blouse and a roomy cardigan with a geometric design over an ankle-skimming pleated skirt. A felt-brimmed turban hat completes the look with big, boxy sweaters spilling over tube skirts and set com- plete with a pair of black leath- er lace-up boots. Style with the international flair in menswear: that ' s a way to describe the new look for men this fall. Call it totally styl- ish. It ' s the perferred look of teens all over the world. Being shown in malls all over is the uniform look from campuses everywhere. A big wooly sweater worn with fad- ed denims with a cotton cor- duroy and wool-blend pants and an over-coat. To make the look complete, put together a pair of Wellingtons (thick- soled leather shoes) with ar- gyle socks. Also making the fashion scene are Indian-in- spired sweaters and gray fad- ed jeans.

The Bahamas . . . where life was a beach for the Senior Class of 87! It was the Senior Class of ' 87 ' Seniors take a break in the sun! that ventured to Freeport, Ba- hamas November 11, 1986. It was Freeport, Bahamas that had it all when the Senior Class of ' 87 ' hit the country in full force. From sunning their buns on the most beautiful sandy white beaches to cash- ing in on the slot machines in the most glamorous and excit- ing spot on the island, The Lucayan Beach Casino , the day was fun for all. Northrop students and fac- ulty left Fort Wayne in 25 de- gree weather to arrive at the Bahamian Airport with tem- peratures in the 90 ' s. We finally arrived as every- one bolted off the plane to see the beautiful Bahamain coun- try. The first step to entering the Bahamian country was go- ing through customs. Every- one was required to show a form of identification. The next venture was catching a taxi. Hey Mon! That looks just like mom ' s grocery wagon! A picture perfect view of the beautiful Bahamian island in the sun with the palm shaded white sandy beaches and the incredibly clear water. Pho- to Lisa Aker It ' s the Bahama mama beach crew: Jill, Jennifer, Lisa, Amy, Michelle, Wendy and Heather saying, Eat your hearts out Fort Wayne. I want to sit in the back. I get the front. I want to sit with Matt and the driver. Pardon me sir, but how much for a ride to the hotel? Conversations like these were heard throughout the day as many chose to tour the Bahamian island. Some were even lucky enough to get a limousine for a taxi. Taxi driv- er, onward. The taxi rides were the craziest of all as the Bahamian culture chose to drive on the left side of the road weaving in and out of the lanes dodging other taxis. When we arrived at the Lu- cayan Hotel we ventured to the International Bazaar to barter with the natives. The perfume and the typical Baha- mian souveniers were inex- pensive and easy to barter with. After shopping at the Ba- zaar everyone was ready to hit the beach. The beach was the hottest spot of the day. Others chose to play in the beautiful ocean and ride the waves. Some were even daring enough to go scubba diving or parasailing. — Heather Roe NEW 32 ] BAHAMAS Bahama buddies! Wendy Freck and Niko Raptis have one last mo- ment to say cheese!!!

I SENIORS EB Mg? Class of ' 87 Breaks Tradition. It was the Senior Class of 1987 that did it all. From the senior trip to Freeport Baha- mas to the successful Senior Class sponsored Northrop Winter Magic Semi-Formal January 31, the Seniors made the year a hit! The senior class had a lot of spirit and unity between them. They proved that traditions can be changed. The senior class didn ' t hold up a tradi- tional sign at the pep session. Overall the senior class wel- comed the freshmen into the Bruin country. The senior pow- der puffers challenged the un- derclassmen in football and won. As the first semester ended excitement was in the air as many seniors received their mugs and graduation caps and gowns. The days and weeks went by fast as the end of March came around and the anxiety hit. It was Spring Break!! Many senior vacation- ers came back from break in time to start planning for the prom. Graduation came near as many seniors looked back on the memories and accom- plishments they had made. It ' s time to move on to the future and make a success with ev- erything you do. — Heather Roe Senior cheerleaders celebrate the Powder Puff victory during the game. SENIORS Class Of ' 87 Crazy and Fun-Loving!! Those are two words that describe the class of ' 87. How can they help it with leaders like these class officers: Heather Roe as the scuba diver, Natalie Nelson as the fisherman, Linley Morehart as the surf- er dude, and Bob Stoll as the happy hunter. photo Scott Edwards Lisa Aker Lora Allen Chris Askins Laura Balliet Travis Barkley Dan Barkley William Barksdale Christian Bazzmett Barbara Berger Sara Beard Kim Bell Christine Bengs Kenneth Bernardin Scott Bienz Tim Bigelow Jill Biggs Elizabeth Bixby Herman Black Mike Blaettner 36 ORS Johnny Bojmoff Scott Bojrab David Bollman Billie Booker Heidi Borders Laura Bordner Susan Bortz Kelley Bowers Susan Brattian Tamara Brewer Tonya Bricker Kevin Brigham Kim Brock David Brown Teresa Brown Corey Brownlee Marquetta Brownlee Mark Brumbaugh Renee Bryan Gunter Buchai Christoph Buchs Laura Buhr Jennifer Bull Susan Bullard Altasha Burney John Byrer Pricilla Lansler Brian Carboni Waylon Carney Theodore Carroll SENIORS 37 sc Renee Caud : ; — e-s Brenca Chapman Chelsie Charleston Chevalier Nicole Clark Renee Cement Krista Clemmer Stephanie Coburn Andrea Cole Charles Collier Tammy Conner Nicole Conrad Wathew Cook Marc Cornett Carrie Costillo Thomas Coughlin Jennifer Coulson Teresa Crane enise Cravens Anthony Cutler Terry Dager -. jshcer n Davis Tina Delamarter 38 I SENIORS Laura Demato Michelle DeParales Kara DeMille Jenna Diller Michael Disch Tara Dorman Donna Dowdell Kristina Dukes Catherine Dybiec Michael Ealy Brian Eastmen James Edwards Stephen Ellis David Elrod Cathie Dybiec displays her scholarly look.

The semi-formal was held at Northrop High School in the commons. The com- mons was uniquely decorated in pastel blues. Tables were el- egantly decorated with snow white table cloths accented by blue carnations. The evening was spent dancing and romancing in the magical scene of winter. Get- ting pictures taken with your friends or date was an added attraction to the dance. A scene of a mechanical snow- man with snowflakes hung from the ceiling and a decorat- ed back drop with pastel bal- loons was in the background. The occasion was very unique in the fact that many came stag or stagette. It was an oc- casion of friends spending an evening together in an array of elegance. This was a dance that al- most wasn ' t. Ticket sales were going slow at first and then the opinion editor of What ' s Bru- in added his comments about the semi-formal. After reading the opinion in the paper many fellow students felt that the comments made were a put down to the student body. And then there was a snow day that resulted in one less day to sell tickets. Thursday arrived and ticket sales started booming. Tickets went from 80 to over a 130 by the end of the last lunch mod. After re- viewing how well the tickets sales went the last day Mr. Brown agreed to let the senior class officers sell tickets for two more days. Over all many felt that the semi-formal was better than last years prom and a lot of positive comments were made on the dance. Many feel now that the semi-formal can be a traditional success. — Heather C.

Northrop and its students have always been very active in sports: guys ' and girls ' . The football team went through a disappointing re- building season and came out with a 4-4 record. The boys ' basketball team was chosen as the number one team in the pre-season poll and looked forward to a great season. As for the girls, their only wish was to defend their title and come out on top. The fresh- man football team became city champs, the boys ' cross country team went to semi- state and the volleyball team members were SAC champions. A new twist was also added: a girls ' fast-pitch softball team. Students were polled and the interest for a girls ' team was there. We ' ve talked about the teams but that ' s only a part of the game, we can ' t forget the fans, Without the fans the sea- son would not be complete. Although in the beginning fan support was low, by the end of the year Bruins showed they love to get crazy about sports. — Gina Snowberger The varsity football team sits back and watches the student body show their spirit. photo Sara Seibert SPORTS 57 H Coming up: A light at the end of the tunnel nderclass join to post 13-3 record rhe reserve and freshman football teams joined for a combined re- cord of 13-3. The freshmen emerged from the dust as the city champs by defeating the Northside Red- skins 16-3. The reserve team, coached by Mr. Er- nie Bojrab, had a successful year with a 6-2 record. However Bojrab felt this year could have been better; They fell short of everyone ' s expectations.

While at the lower part of the ladder the freshman, coached by Mr. Sam DiPrimio, felt the success of the team was the main factor. This team had dedication to the cause. They were excited about our pro- gram, the game, and loved to hit. Now the teams must face one thing as must all the players: the following season. The future looks real bright for Northrop Football, exclaimed Coach Diprimio. On the other hand, Coach Bojrab looked at the future in a different aspect, hopeful- ly, the experiences will put things in a better perspective to prepare them for accomplishing goals and handling responsibility. As the season drew to a close the un- derclass football players turned out a city championship, a 6-2, and a 13-3 com- bined record, and a bright future for Nor- throp football. — Euel Osborne 58 RESERVE FRESHMEN FOOTBALL Stuck at the line of scrimage, a Bruin runner looks for another route. photo Scott Edwards Quarterback Bennie Parks appears to be looking for the next strategic move! photo Scott Edwards FRESHMAN FOOTBALL NHS OPP 20 Warsaw 3 Carroll 10 South Side 10 Snider 8 Dwenger 6 7 Wayne 7 Elmhurst 16 Northside City Champs, 7-1 13 Reserve: 6 wins, 2 losses t 9 ® FRESHMAN FOOTBALL: (Row 1) Brian Dome, Jer- maine Williams, Scott Bradtmiller, mgr.

That ' s about the only Jway to sum up this year ' s football S season. The Bruins suffered from in- experience, lack of leadership, and one tough schedule. The Bruins also suffered from a 4-5 record. Coach Dean Doerffler felt the one big thing they lacked was senior leadership; • ' We were inexperienced and really lacked in our leadership, he said. Along with these two factors came injuries suf- fered by Tim Swift and Shane Martinez. Tim suffered a broken finger and Shane suffered two broken ribs and a bruised kidney. Despite these two injuries, Tim and Shane were voted on the all-S.A.C. teams-Shane honorable mention and Tim, first team. The Bruins, while lacking experience and leadership, also lacked crowd sup- port. The Bruins had hoped for better shows at games but turn out just wasn ' t what the team expected. In the years to come Northrop can ex- pect promising entertainment. We have people coming up who show a promising future, exclaimed Coach Doerffler. This year wasn ' t promising but can be thought of as a year of rebuilding. The Bruins ended up 5-5, but weren ' t the team they and everyone expected them to be! — Euel Osborne Let ' s go!

They earned the SAC champion- ship title along with other notable accomplishments. The team started out losing their first six games and then a few players were let go due to disciplinary reasons. It looked like a drab season was ahead of the team, but instead they pulled together and end- ed up 14-8 overall and 8-1 in the SAC, which was good enough for the SAC title. The head coach, Mary Coats, said This 1986 team was the most talented, skilled, ' together ' team I ' ve ever coached. One reason why the team did so well would have to be contributed to the play Meinerding drills a serve. photo Mark Schoeff. Jr. of Lori Meinerding and newcomer, Meri- dith Burt. Meinerding set a school record with 227 kills and was named to the 1st team All-SAC. Burt, a junior from Koko- mo, in her first season was the outstand- ing defensive player for the Bruins and she was named 2nd team All-SAC. I learned a lot of new things up here and everything was so advanced (compared to Kokomo ' s program); the team was much better, stated Burt. Though individual accomplishments were apparent, the girls always played as a team. Mrs. Coats added, Their biggest asset was their team play. They really worked together, pulled together, and won the SAC together. Other outstanding individual efforts were put forth by Jill Shappell, who was the ace server, and by Vanessa Wil- liams who led the team in assists. On the road to the SAC championship the team stopped over in Warsaw to pick up the Warsaw Invitational title. The 1986 season was a successful season for the Northrop Volleyball Program.

The boys ' cross country team posted a 14-1 record. East Noble handed the team their only defeat early in the season. The harriers then went on to defeat East No- ble twice in the Snider and Bruin Invita- tional later this year. The team has had many highlights this season. Led by seniors Mike Blaettner, Darryl Green, and Jimmy Plumb the team was the winner at the Huntington Invitational, The Culver Invitational and the SAC meet. Green placed third and Blaettner fourth in the SAC. Head coach Fred Blanks said, We be- lieved we could do it and we did it even though Snider was favored to win most of the season, we mastered the possibilities and came out on top. With the absence of Green the team placed third at sectionals, helped by a second place finish by Blaettner. The team ' s finish allowed them to move on to regionals. At regional competition the team again placed third, enabling them to go to semi-state. Green and Blaettner along with junior Sean McGann and soph- omore Matt Wertman were named to the All-SAC team.

This year ' s squad, like those of the past two years, won the S.A.C. crown, and also went to Semi-State before ending their season. However, unlike the past two teams, this Bruin club was not a dom- inating team. The 20 to 30 point victories of old were taken over by more 1 to 10 point wins. We started with only one starter back from last season, said head coach A.C. Eldridge, A lot of people didn ' t think that we would do this well. So I am proud of this team. The team started off the year 10-5. Pre- vious losses to S.A.C. leaders Harding and Bishop Luers made the S.A.C. title look out of reach. But then the Bruins won the last 6 of the regular season. This, cou- pled with bad late season play of Harding and Luers, gave the squad its 5th consec- utive S.A.C. trophy. The team ended its season with a 75-54 loss to Penn in the semi-state. There were three departing seniors who had played their entire four years at Nor- throp. While they have been here the var- sity squad has compiled a 91-16 record. Returning for the Bruins next year are nine players with varsity experience, so the future looks good. Said Eldridge, Our team next year should be a dominant one. — Mike Klopfenstein In your face!

A new coach added to the uniqueness of this year ' s team. Coach Jim Spencer took over coaching duties halfway through the year but had no problems making the switch, Taking over as coach was easy since the pro- gram was well-established, said Spencer. Six freshmen played for the team. These first-year players rose to the occa- sion and played well against players one and two years older. Many of the fresh- men gained more experience then they ever had before. With talent developing so soon, Nor- throp can look forward to a tradition of excellence in the future. — Sean McGann and Stephen Rigsby This year ' s freshman basketball season showed promise for future varsity players. Under the changing leadership of Mr. Tom Madden, who left to become Dean of Boys at Elmhurst, to Mr. Jim Spencer, the team turned out a winning season. Mark Wilson, guard, felt that the team showed a lot of command while on the court and worked well together. Although the season was lightly interupted by the change of coaches, the players got along well with the new coach. Mr. Spencer is an administrator from down town who took over the job after Madden ' s depar- ture. He is really demanding, said Wil- son, Mr. Spencer would take out the entire first string if the team wasn ' t play- ing well. An outstanding player this year was Mike Reinking, averaging ten points per game. At the Northrop vs. Snider game Reinking dominated the offense with 19 points scored. Reinking, who played guard and forward scored a lot of his points with help from their strong offense. — Ryan Sturgis Taking over as coach was easy since the program was well established. — Spencer Swat!

Senior Lori Meinerding takes a jumpshot at State finals. photo Scott Edwards Lori Meinerding wins mental attitude award ady Bruins set state record with 57 wins The Lady Bruins proved themselves to be superior to every team they played this year except one, Anderson Highland. The ladies ruled the SAC without losing once and they won the Hall of Fame clas- sic en route to a 28-1 record. The team managed to post a state record of 57 consecutive wins over the past two years due mainly in part to the way Jenny Bull and Lori Meinerding played. Lori was the main offensive threat the Lady Bruins had. She was a returning All State 1st team selection and led the team in scoring in most all games. She did exactly what was expected of her, she led the team in scoring, rebounding and steals, Mr. Riley said of Lori ' s play dur- ing the year. She also won the annual mental attitude award. Jenny Bull was a versatile player and helped the Lady Bruins defensively. Jen- ny had a down season (statistical wise), but came alive during the tournament and really helped us tremendously, said Riley. A pleasant surprise for the team was the addition of Meridith Burt, a transfer from Kokomo. She fit in well right away and was a powerful force in the middle providing stable defense and numerous rebounds. I was excited about coming to a good program, said Meridith. I wasn ' t really sure about what to expect from the girls. It turned out that they be- came a great group of people, and I ' m glad I had the opportunity to play with them. Although the team played an outstand- ing year of basketball, it had to bow out of the race for its second consecutive state title as a result of its loss to Anderson Highland. The girls were fired up and ready to play as they took a 16-15 lead into the second quarter. Then things fell apart as the ladies scored only two points in the second period and dug themselves what proved to be an insurmountable hole. They rallied near the end thanks to the shooting of Lori Meinerding but lost 55-49 despite everyone ' s valiant reach for victory. We had fun over the past two sea- sons, losing only once, said Riley. Why shouldn ' t they have fun? They won a state championship one year, went back to the final four the next year, and in Indi- ana, a state where basketball is the tradi- tion, they did what no other girls ' team had ever done: they won 57 consecutive games Riley added, We just had an out- standing season. — Mike Hoover GIRLS ' BASKETBALL 79 Freshmen, Reserve claim own spotlight nderclassmen post winning recor Playing in the shadow of the nationally acclaimed Lady Bruins can be a tough job for anyone, but the Freshmen and Reserve Girls Basketball teams seemed to handle the challenge with no problems what-so-ever. Reserve Coach Philip Ginder said, All of our players are good. This year, how- ever, there were no freshmen on the re- serve team; this has not been the case in past years. Ginder, who has been coaching for sev- en years, said that the girls on the 16-2 reserve team played, for the most part, like he had expected. Ginder also says that, the few places that will be open on the varsity team next year will be filled by the talented girls on this team. The 1986-87 Freshmen Girls ' Basket- ball team was very successful this year. Under the direction of Coach Sherri Dunn they achieved an overall record of 1 1 wins and 4 losses. Coach Dunn, who is a for- mer Bruin Basketball Basketball her self, also works with the point guards and for- wards on the varsity team. She said, If everybody works hard, everybody gets to play.

But the 86-87 Bruin Gymnasts overcame the ob- stacles and finished with an outstanding 9-3 record. Being rated as high as 18th in the state, Head Coach Maureen Hornack believes the Bruin squad met her expectations. She said, Yes they did meet my expec- tations. We would have liked to have done better in regionals but we did good. Hornack also said that they wish they would ' ve done better in the S.A.C. Throughout the course of the season, the team scored very high, over 100.0, several times. Said Hornack, That really inspired them to do better. But once we hit our highest score, we began to get a little lower and a little lower. The top gymnasts for 86-87 were Lola Young, Shannon Carey, Jada Little, and Stacy Frick. Although Young and Carey advanced to regionals, only Carey was able to compete. Because she didn ' t fin- ish in the top four places required for state competition, Carey ' s season was cut short. Next year, according to Hor- nack, all gymnasts will be back, except for two who are going into cheerleading. Every year, I set a goal for them to do the very, very best they can, said Hor- nack. And with that last word, look out for the 87-88 Bruin Gymnasts. — Steve Edwards GYMNASTICS: (Front) Marcus Hairston, Kelly Pietrzykowski, Aaron Curry, (row 2) Paul Typper, Kelly Head, Terry Edwards, (row 3) Asst.

Stick! Those are two words likely to be heard out on the mats. This year ' s grapplers were short in experience but high in intensity. Coach Sam Diprimio, in his third year at the realm, led the grapplers to another successful season. The fact of only having two seniors really didn ' t effect the out- come this year. Originally there were three seniors but one, Artie McCoy, fell victim to back problems early in the sea- son. On varsity there were only 2 se- niors. Inexperience was in abundance on varsity. exclaimed Diprimio. Although the experience was not there Junior Keith Battenfield emerged from the crowd to be the only representative from Northrop at semi-state. Battenfield, end- ing his second year, feels his weaknesses were strength and speed. I plan on working to become quicker and stronger in order to make it to state next year, said Battenfield. Having a season with little experience sometimes hurts. Next year Seniors Todd Welch and Chris Askins will be missed. Anytime you lose seniors with experi- ence they ' ll be missed, proclaimed Di- primio. Despite these loses, the Bruins look tough in the future. Losing only two seniors on varsity leaves us with 1 1 wres- tlers returning. The reserve only lost three times and the freshmen never lost! stat- ed Diprimio. Lacking experience, but with a will to win, the 86-87 grapplers played out their season.

I think that they are a very young team and in a year or two they should be on top, with a lot of hard work and dedication I think they will, said Fred Blanks, head coach. Leading the team in meets were the top sprinters Roxanne Green, Linette Little, Candy Williams. Tia Glass, and Michelle Malone who were all Regional qualifiers. The top distance runner was Candy Wil- liams, who placed 2nd in the mile. Unfor- tunately, Williams suffered a leg injury and couldn ' t continue to the Sectionals. Coach Blanks said he felt she could have gone all the way to the state compe- tition had she not been injured. Michelle Malone and Tia Glass both set a new record for the high jump, which Michelle holds now. Michelle set the high- est record at 5 ' 3 on the high jump. The girls ' track team held strong in the SAC, placing third. The tracksters ranked third out of seventeen teams in the sec- tional competition. Five team members advanced to re- gional competition.

It ' s a matter of peaking at the right time. It was a lot of fun and worth all the work. Alicia Harris, junior, qualified for state finals in the long jump. It ' s a wonderful feeling to know that you ' re one of the best athletes to come out of sectionals and regionals and then to represent the team at the state track meet. I want to thank the coaches because if it wasn ' t for their encouragement I don ' t feel I would have developed into the athlete I am today, commented Harris. Freshman Linette Little said, I think as a freshman that I ran the hurdles pretty good and next year, as a sophomore, I feel that I should do better. Breaking the school record for me was a great accom- plishment. I feel that the team should be a lot better next year. Senior Roxanne Green was award the team ' s most valuable player award. She said, Our team worked together real well. We have a lot of talent. It ' s just a matter of putting it in the right place. The coaches did a great job! Coach Blanks summed up his feelings of the season by saying I feel we had a good season and Alicia is only a junior. And some of the young talents made it to regionals which was good.

Tram- mel said, It was outstanding. This sea- son was dedicated to them. There is usually one meet that sticks out in a coach ' s mind and to Trammel that one is the outstanding performance at the Summit Athletic Conference meet. We were near 100 percent efficiency. The track team has accomplished many things this year. Two of the most important feats were winning the SAC ti- tle for the fourth straight year and sending eleven team members to the state finals. Going into the SAC meet as the under- dog and without two hurdlers made com- ing from behind to win more of a chal- lenge. In the state meet: Mike Ealy, Vic Nelson, Keith Suttle, James Suttle, Rod Williams, and Eric Walker ran in the 900 meter relay. James Suttle, Rod Williams, Carl Malone, Sam White, Keith Flye, and Darryl Green competed in the 1600 meter relay. Darryl Green also competed in the 1600 meter run and Mike Ealy ran in the 100 and 200 meter dash. Jim Disch was the only team member to qualify for state in a field event; his event is the pole vault. Even though the team had a strong season, the freshmen and sophomore maturity level was lacking. Coach Tram- mel says, The senior leadership will be missed next year. If so, how does the future look? To this question Trammel says, The stables are full with many tal- ented ninth and tenth graders; if they pro- gress, watch out in the next few years. — Sue Barnhart VARSITY TRACK NHS DWENGER WARSAW 68 55 36 NHS HUNTINGTON 82.5 44.5 N.

The reason for this, says Coach Chris Stavreti, is that the team grew up fast Of those ten losses eight were by two or less runs and six were lost by one run. For the most part the talent of team members is balanced but in the area of offense one person sticks out. Joe Dibert led the team in hits and RBI ' s. Unfortunately Dibert, Jim Niedermeyer, Mark Brumbaugh, and Brant Gaumer were lost to graduation. According to Stavreti, These guys are the heart of the defense. In addition to the defense, pitching has been the key to success because the team was not offensively minded, said Stavreti (Stav to his players). They kept us in ballgames. Meanwhile, the reserve team had a good year and was sharpening up play- ers ' skills getting them ready for varsity play later in their high school careers. Stavreti says that next year positions will be up for grabs and the main focus will be on building defense. He said, It has been rewarding from a coaching standpoint. — Ben Kessler Dan Schenkel tags the base to get the runner out. photo Scott Edwards Chad Aschbacher dives back safely in a victory for the diamondsmen. photo Scott Edwards 90 J BASEBALL RESERVE BASEBALL: (Front Row) Sarah Berger, Karen Cross, Leigh Walls, Dawn Kohli, Angle Bar- ton, Teresa Jehl.

In its first year of existance the team was able to post a 13-5 overall record and an 8-0 record in the SAC. Head coach Jim Spencer said that the team did better than everyone expected including himself. I was expecting and hoping to at least go five hundred overall and in the conference, but they surpassed that easi- ly, he said. The team was successful due to the talent contributed by many gifted individ- uals. There were three first team All-SAC performers in Jill Shappell, Delia Kinslow, Meridith Burt, Theresa Wells, Jill Karasek and Wendy Pennington were good enough to be named second team All- SAC. She ' s the best pitcher in Fort Wayne, said Spencer of Jill Shappell, and she got that way by hard work. Shappell was 11-5 with a 2.55 ERA and was a key performer in the Bruin line up. Delia Kins- low, a freshman, led the team in batting average (.492), RBIs (46), and hits (31) while being the designated hitter or play- ing the outfield. Meridith Burt, said Spencer, is good because of a combination of pure talent, experience, and hard work. She ' s a natural player. Spencer also recognized Sophomore Stacy Hughes as the best defensive per- former. She played center field and she did a great job for us. Other players who were key parts to a steady Bruin defense were Wendy Pen- nington at short stop, Tammi Reuille at third base, Burt at catcher, and Senior Theresa Wells, team captain, in right field. The team was SAC champions and de- feated many tough opponents. They scored ten or more runs in eleven of their eighteen games and were extremely con- fident going into the tournament. Howev- er, after defeating Blackhawk Christian and North Side, the team bowed out with a 9-5 loss to Bishop Dwenger. The girls did a great job of working together and working to learn the game of fast pitch softball. They should be very proud of themselves, said Spencer. — Mike Hoover GIRLS ' SOFTBALL 93 Netters have educational season iris, coaches have high hopes for future After all of the smoke has cleared from the well-known and exciting sports here at Northrop like football, and girls ' and boys ' basketball, another sporting team begins its trek toward glory.

I learned a lot this season about myself, others and, of course, the game of tennis. Jessica Harrison, one of many team members, said. Mr. Ronald Barnes, coach, stresses the importance of learning a competitive atti- tude, Attitude, attitude! A competitive attitude! Barnes, who was a rookie coach this year, couldn ' t be unhappy this year with his team ' s performance because they were so young. Next year he will return to the varsity squad Lisa Howe, Tricia Wells, Debbie VanDam, Jill Flowers and Kathy Notestein, all of whom got varsity play this year. As the end of the season grew near, the team of girls looked forward for a chance to improve and to acheive, but their hopes were shattered with a loss. We felt pretty down but Mr. Barnes wouldn ' t ' hat an ace!

Tricia Wells returns a hot shot to her opponent. photo Scott Edwards let us stay that way. He cheered us up with his own brand of humor, stated Amy Osborne. All of the players agree that being coached by Mr. Barnes was both an edu- cational and an enjoyable experience. He really gives me the incentive to reach my potential. Harrison added. One thing all of the players agree on is the lack of support the Northrop tennis program receives. While the football and basketball teams load in the fans, the ten- nis team members can often count the number of spectators on their fingers. It ' s hard enough to say we had a few spectators this year. Harrison said. Since so many players return, the pos- sibility of an SAC championship is not out of the question. The girls will also have the possibility of advancing in tournament ac- tion. — Lance Robinson NHS 3 1 1 4 2 2 4 2 3 1 GIRLS ' TENNIS Harding Northside B.

Most of the problem was inconsis- tancy. We just couldn ' t get four good scores on one day, said Brett Singer. Although some of the team members experienced moments of disappointment, there were also some happy times when the team won some impressive matches. Coach Bruce Oliver said that the sea- son went up and down and that it was a season full of challenges for everyone in the program. The golf team consisted of Seniors Jim Plumb and Tony Natale, Junior Jim Wag- ner and Sophomores Brian Hensler and Brett Singer. Wagner was this year ' s number one golfer for the team and will return to next year ' s squad. He, Singer and Hensler should help add to the team ' s consistency. The only real disappointment was that the team set very high goals and was unable to meet them. The season showed we ' re going to have to work harder next year, said Oliver. We ' re looking forward to the next season and to doing better! he added. — Dave Witte Jim Plumb keeps all his concentration on a shot during the May 30 meet against the Carroll Char- gers. photo Scott Edwards RESERVE BOYS ' GOLF: (Front Row) Stover Ingling, Brent Murphy, Mark Verville, Jerry Bovine, Shannon Royer.

This also works with groups of people, every class does its own thing mak- ing them unique. No one could ever confuse one class with another. The Juniors — practicing to take over the title of Senior and everything that goes along with it. Working to get their grades up so they don ' t have to work so hard to keep up that G.P.A. next year when Senioritis hits. Yet they won ' t be just another senior class, they will be the Class of ' 88 distinguished from all oth- ers by their need to be themselves. The Sophomores — just finding their place among the ranks at Northrop. They are just getting comfortable with High School and the lifestyles that go along with being a Bru- in. They are happy not to be dreaded Freshmen and are looking forward to moving up to Juniors. The Freshmen — adjusting to new places, people, and ideas. Moving from junior high to high school is like moving from the top to the bottom, that would leave anyone look- ing for a place of their own. Underclassmen — strug- gling to be a part of high school life while being different enough to be an individual. The classes of ' 88, ' 89, and ' 90 show everyone that its okay to be different and great to be yourself. — Gina Snowberger Mike Klopfenstein and Dave Johnson show their serious side, photo Karin Rittenberg UNDERCLASS 99 Timothy Alcenius Denise Allen Timothy Allen --:-.: a 2 - en Victoria Alvarez Jane Alwine A- = : A g e-.e- Kimberly Arnos Stephen Asberry Chad Aschbacher Mark Bair April Baker David Baker Tonya Bankhead Glenn Barker Paul Barker Andre Barnes Teresa Barnum Steve Bartlett Jeffrey Barton Karen Batchelder Keith Battenfield Shelly Baumgartner Cara Beaty Julia Becktell Michael Beer Kelli Beery Tanya Bell Michelle Benge Linda Bentz Shawn Beverly Bradley Biehl Christian Biggs Jon Blanchared Brian Bollinger Jeffery Bottorf Kenton Boyer Erika Bradford Kevin Brant Louis Braselton Danita Bratton Michael Braun Erik Brewer Lee Briner Marie Brooks Danielle Brown Gary Brown Megan Brown Michele Brown Gregory Brubaker Beth Brudt Joe Buchanan Verner Burrow Meridith Burt Coleen Bush Gina Butler Betina Byrd Jeffery Caley Teresa Camp Laura Campbell Ruth Campbell Bruce Carnahan Jeffe Carnall Teresa Carter Sandra Carver Carrie Caskey Dennis Casteel Sophia Cedergren ' r - ' ; Ot; .

Have you ever wondered why our col- ors are brown and orange? Or why the bruin is our mascot. In 1970, Central High School closed its doors while Northrop began to open hers. A Steering Committee, consisting ot the new staff, parents and selected students, began a series of meetings in which to establish colors, a school song, a mascot, and titles for the yearbook and paper. Since Central ' s colors were blue and white with a tiger mascot, these options were left out. We were trying to unite all the students who ' d be coming to Nor- throp, said Mr. Mark Schoeff, athletic director. The choice of mascot was nar- rowed down to three. A ram, a huskie, and finally, a bruin. Nobody actually re- members why the bruin was choosen over the others, but if one will remember that UCLA was ruling college athletes at the time, one can guess why today we ' re the bruins. The colors being considered were me- tallic silver and Dallas blue, black, grey and white, and of course, the colors of Cleveland, brown and orange. Our pre- sent colors were certainly interesting enough. Even today their originality doesn ' t go unnoticed. Said , Junior Wen- dy Pennington, The colors brown and orange are perfect because it ' s fitting since our mascot is a bruin and it ' s origi- nal. I don ' t think any other school has these colors. The Steering Committee decided that since no other school in the conference, or in the state for that matter, had brown and orange, that that ' s what the colors would be. Who knows, with a twist of fate we might have been Mighty Huskies , proud to wear black and grey. Sean McGann April Baker poses for the camera. photo Jo Spindler Juniors 107 CAMERA SHY It ' s been a good year. Every year something outstanding hap- pens to everybody. Although many things may happen, there is always one thing that stands out in a persons mind. For Freshman, Jenny Hall making flags was her memorable accomplishment. Along those lines Jennifer Zuber remem- bers marching band the best. Kim Guin, sophomore, felt that the best thing that happened to her this year was coming to Northrop from Northside. To a sophomore athlete like Chad Kohli catch- ing a touchdown pass with the time ex- pired was a fond rememberance, espe- cially since it was against Bishop Dwenger. Senior Shanonn Blosser, who is artisti- cally inclined was recommended to the School of the Arts Institute of Chicage. For Senior Doug Wearley getting his car paid off was just as much fun as making spirit leader. Phil Nicolet humbly says, Being a ju- nior, because the class of ' 88 parties the best. — Tami Clark, Matt Smith, and Dave Witte Juanita Arrington Otto Erby Trenia Morgan Michael Austin Thomas Esterline Randy O ' Neil Kandice Barnes Ronda Falls Clair Posey Tonya Baughman Wanda Falls Shalon Roberson Jennifer Beisuanger Michelle Fesler Ivory Robinson Beth Bernier Dennis Floyd Timothy Sandusky Jerry Bibbs Keith Flye William Scott Tammy Bojrab Todd Franks Marlon Scureock Edrick Bowen Kenneth Ganaway Charles Shull Joseph Bowers Gerald Garbe David Simms David Brobst Keith Green Raeph Smith Larry Brockman Shari Hensch Timothy Snook Annette Camp Lisa Humphrey Roger Starks Elozabeth Carter Fredrick Jenkins Alfonso Taylor Terra Chambers Tracy Johnson Matthew Taylor Eric Chapman Felicia Jones Matthew Topp Hazes Coleman Virginia Lehman Lori Vanaman Theresa Conwell Matthew Lewis Terry Ward Terrence Daniels Valerian Lewis Willie White Kirk Dentzer Julie Linnemier Gene Williams Daniel Dierdorf Marc Malone Lawrence Williams Diane Dikeolakos Richard Mathieson Macquilli Woodard Thomas Duranseau Kimberly McGraw Matthew Ellenwood Kerri Miser Class Officers (top) Vanessa Williams, Lisa Stewart, darfer. photo Scott Edwards Megan Brown .

It ' s fun, ex- citing, and a big part of society, but, (yes, there has to be a but in everything) there are certain embarrassing moments that can and usually do happen on that spe- cial date. One sophomore recalls how she got herself in double trouble on one of her so called wonderful nights out. She was leaving the house with one date just as another pulled up into the driveway. Needless to say, it was an embar- rassing situation. Mr. Record remembers one night when he was caught with a date by the police in lover ' s lane , but that couldn ' t have happened to Mr. Trammel who claims that he ' s never had a date. Heather Roe, senior, was out dining with her male friend when she dumped a whole plate of spaghetti on his wool suit. — Stacy Ferro Class Officers:(from top) Stacey Hughes, Chad Pat- terson, Laura Barlage. photo Scott Edwards Shawn Dill toots his way to the top in the Big Orange Pride. photo Watters Studio Michael Anderson Tiffany Bell Beth Ann Boggs James Bradford William Britton Stephen Bryan William Booker Karen Caseldine Patrice Davis Karen Forrer Ronda Grady Stacey Grogg Adam Groves Michelle Hicks Keven Hicks Jason Hoffman James Honer Billy Hubnor Tina King Gerald Kirtz Aaron Knupp Broderick Lovelace Troy McCann Curtis Moore Gaynell Morris James Nellems Vernon Nellems Dori Nelson Vail Pinkston Kevin Sharp Douglas Shuster Michael Sims Doranna Starks Rachel Villareal Christoph Wetzel Tomorrow Yates -.-,--- j v v-f ' .

Captain R positions himself at the top of the stairs. The victim approaches. The swing of her cheerleader ' s skirt makes the Captain hot. These ' re fer you. he says, handing her a bouquet of dandelions. She gri- maces for a moment then punches the Captain . Our hero buckles, spins , then bounces down the stairs. Captain R lies there, devastated. Then, in his last mo- ments of conciousness, he realizes that from this position he can see up her skirt. Cap- tain Romance smiles in satis- faction. Freshmen fall in love so many times throughout their first school year that they could probably open their own business . It might be called Puberty ' R ' Us . We have no way of knowing what at- tracts those optomistic freshmen lovers and then again we have no way of telling why the upper classmen turn them away. Occasionally though, that lucky fresh- man succeeds. But, unfortunately, the bond they share is always broken off by that terrible rite of pas- sage, graduation day. So as you can see this kind of relationship has one road and this road leads to the grave. It is indeed an admira- ble attempt but a word to the wise: You mess with my women, I gonna kill you. Then I kill yer family. And yer dog. Got it kid? Hint: Those upper- class women also have VERY big boyfriends. — Mike Workman, San- dra Ray, and Sharon Collins..

Is it the actual ba- sics of education-classes, lunch, and the same routine every day? Or is it the things that are involved with school- friends, teachers, homework, and let ' s not forget stress? Actually for students at Nor- throp it ' s a combination of fun and friends mixed with with one of the finest academic programs in the state. Learning — that ' s the rea- son for all of us being here. The question is, what are we supposed to learn? We are here to learn about ourselves, other people, and life. When a student graduates from high school he may not remember exact quotations from Romeo and Juliet but he will have enough knowledge to get him through every day of his life. Teachers — what would school be like without them? Yes, we all do have that one teacher that we would rather have ISS than go to his class. But then there are others who you look forward to seeing ev- ery day. Those are the teach- ers who make learning inter- esting or even fun (at least as fun as learning can possibly be). So, what are we waiting for, let ' s turn the page and see just how Bruins get back to basics! — Gina Snowberger The rulers of C hall ACADEMICS 131 Betty Appenzeller, Secretary Barry Ashton.

She attended the University of Miami of Florida for a few years and then trans- ferred to St. Francis College in Fort Wayne. At those schools she received her degree in art education. She has substituted for a number of years, first in East Allen Schools and then in Fort Wayne Community Schools. Miss Watkins has not limited her artistic ability to substitute teaching. On Satur- day mornings she teaches young children at the Fort Wayne Art Museum. She had had some of her artwork displayed at sev- eral places, such as Saint Francis College, The University of Miami of Florida, and several libraries. She also paints watercol- or postcards, which are sold at the down- town Hilton Hotel. Her long-term goal is to become a full- time teacher. — Jeff Lovell Miss Watkins helps her students with their entries for the Scholastic Art Show, photo Tami Clark Mr. Doerffler, Mr, Weicker, and Mr. Madden demonstrate the theory of see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil in their own crazy way, photos Lisa Aker FACULTY 133 Dare z ' eck.

Lunch is the perfect time to: catch up on the latest gossip, cram for upcoming tests, and occasionally eat. The school food, when viewed from a nutritional point of view, is very good. In fact, the lunch program was given an award by the U.S. Department of Agricul- ture. The award was given mainly be- cause of the school ' s variety of nutritional foods such as hamburgers, french fries, and crispy vegetables just waiting to be drenched in a mysterious dressing. Despite the wonderful choices, stu- dents often develop lunch fatigue . While lunch fatigue isn ' t a recognized dis- ease, it is a very real problem . Symptoms include knowing the menu inside-out, in- creasing the amount of cramming, and developing a growing urge to cut the lunch table in half. Ketchup-Art - a Cure for Common Lunch Fatigue Don ' t worry! There are cures for lunch fatigue. You can skip lunch periodically, bring lunch from home, or beg food from your neighbor. The best cure, however, is Ketchup-Art. Ketchup-Art is something that anyone can do. To practice Ketchup-Art, obtain a plate, get some ketchup, and a straw. Carefully dip the straw in the ketchup, and let your mind flow! Some highly rec- ommended pictures are smiling faces, flowers, and hearts. These pictures cheer you up as well as give you something to do. All the cures, no matter which one you choose, are guaranteed to break the mo- notony of an ordinary lunch period. Bon Appetit! — Jane Kurtz Students grin and bear it as they eat their way through another school lunch. photo Watters Studio 138 M ACADEMICS Ketchup-Art at its best!

If you answered yes to any of these questions you are like 99.9% of the rest of high school students. The other 0.1% do not need to read this article since they obviously do not need any help. For the rest of you, do not despair. Here is a list to help you: 1. Write down everything you want in a college — majors, men, women, academ- ics, activities, cheap tuition, everything. 2. Fumble through your tower of pam- phlets and make two piles — one for colleges which interest you and the other for colleges you would not go to if your life depended on it. 3.

Limit your interest pile to about ten Mrs. Boomershine helps many new students adjust to Bruin lite. photo Watters Studio Help! Which One Is For Me? or fifteen colleges and prepare yourself for writer ' s cramp because you are going to have to write to all of those colleges for more information. For example, ask for information about majors, scholarships, and average SAT scores for the universi- ty. 5. Be warned! Sometimes that informa- tion will come quickly and you will get mobbed again, and other times it will be a cold day in Hades before you get any information. Sooner or later, however, you will get the information you asked for in your letters. 6. After you receive this information, read everything backwards, forwards, right-side-up, and upside down. This will give you an idea of what some of the college ' s attitudes are toward certain things. Look for hidden prejudices. 7. When you have done all this, check your list again and ask yourself, Would I really want to go to a place that has . . . ? If yes, put all the information on the college in a real file. If no, throw it out. 8. At this point you are ready to start visiting these universities. This will give you the inside view of the school. Do not be afraid to ask questions because this is the time to ask them. You are making a big decision here so be a spy. Dare to be nosy! 9. After you have visited these universi- ties, start applying for admission. By now you should have three colleges that inter- est you. By applying to all three you will have something to fall back on in case you do not get into the first college of your choice. 10. When you have finally completed all of the paper work, just sit back and wait. Good Luck! ACADEMICS 141 You ' ve just flunked your math test. You didn ' t eat breakfast and your stomach won ' t forgive you. You have a physics test coming up next period. You really want to take out the girl your friend just reserved for the weekend. The nasty girl across the room wants to take you out. Your car is rusting away. Your friends are falling out. And you are simply out. Face it! You have stress. Tension and pressure: this is how the the dictionary defines stress. Actually, though, stress, which wasn ' t discov- ered and named until a few years ago, is difficult to sum up. But the symptoms are real, indeed. Headaches, ralphing urges, and lots of other problems result from stress. At school, stress is all over. The student with a research paper due tomor- row, and the teacher who has to grade one hundred of them both have stress. There are two basic types of stress. Stress that causes tension, and eus- tress , which is actually beneficial. The tolerence to this variety of stress varies greatly from one person to another. Sometimes, this stress is needed to really motivate a person. However, another per- son, when faced with the same level of . might have a breakdown. There are many ways to fight stress, and Northrop students use some of the best methods. A favorite is the pillow beating method. If a certain person is Stress! What can you Do about it? causing one stress, one simply takes a pillow, pretends it is the person, bashes it as hard as possible against a wall or floor, swears at it, spits on it .steps on it, rips it to bits, and perhaps even stabs it, or in extreme cases, shoots it. This method is excellent because it vents off frustration without one having to go to court to face murder charges. The consultation and education depart- ment of the Mental Health Center at Fort Wayne has come up with over thirty methods of reducing stress. So, the next time a test is coming up, or you just crashed Dad ' s new Rolls, just take their advice. By combining contact and listen- ing skills, assertiveness, the right to stand on one ' s own ground, the ability to realize when to give up and surrender, faith, and imagination, stress doesn ' t have to stress you out. — Matt Wyatt Felix Moxter and Don Min use extreme care during their experiments in order to avoid a stressful situa- tion. photo Watters Studio 142 ) ACADEMICS Mark Bloom shifts uncomfortably under the gentle reprimand of Mrs. Springer. photo Watters Studio Allison Rowe stammers nervously while Mr. Porter examines her photography assignment. photo Wal- ters Studio Mr Walleen cracks under pressure before Christmas j vacation. photo Ginny Lott ACADEMICS 143 r?:s.

It ' s something no one wants to do. So, how does one stay fit without work- ing? Simple: you can ' t. Exercise does not require a lot of work. It does require some dedication, though. Simple toning, when done consistently takes about ten minutes. When you think about it, you probably spend ten minutes just to get out of bed in the morning. Some exercise does require lots of time. For example Sam DiPrimio, wres- tling coach, spends 2-2 1 2 hours exer- cising. He comments, I don ' t really no- tice the amount of time I exercise because I enjoy it. Fitness is a very important part of life. Miss Janet Young explains, When a per- son is fit they feel good about themselves and are usually quite happy. To be a fit person, you have to eat three good meals a day and exercise regularly. A person who wants to get into shape should remember a few basic principles: 1. Begin gradually: as skills develop you ' ll be able to become more intense. 2. Eat good food: try to avoid fried foods, fatty foods, red meat, etc. It ' s okay to have an occasionally DQ Blizzard or Oreo Cookie. 3. Have fun!

When one of those parts become suc- cessful though, they are noticed by every- one. Such is the case for the Special Edu- cation Department. Enthusiasm was the key to the Special Education Department ' s success. Stu- dents were encouraged by many exciting events and programs. This school year was the first for the new motivation program entitled LABS which stands for Let ' s All Be Success- ful . At the end of each of the four nine- week grading periods, students who met the program ' s criteria were rewarded. Those criteria were as follows: 80% aver- age in at least three classes, no more than five absences from school, less than three detentions, no in-school or out-of school suspensions, and no more than one refer- ral. In recognition, the students got prizes such as seeing movies, going bowling, eating pizza, and playing miniature golf. About one-third of the sixty students involved in the program received prizes concictently. Frequent encouragement assem- blies added to the success of the stu- dents, too. Field trips also played a major part in the department. Mrs. Stephanie Bourne, department head said, The field trips were aimed at being both a good time and a learning experience. Student fa- vorites included optical illusion show at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, a tour of the Noll Printing Company, and a tour of Smith Field Airport. One of the high points of the year was the department ' s Thanksgiving dinner. Each class was in charge of a section of the elaborate meal and the food was pre- pared by the students. More than one- hundred students and teachers plus ad- ministrators attended the dinner.

The beginning of an- other agonizing nine months of school in which Murphy raises his dirty little hand in classrooms across America. Murphy ' s known for his law that states: If anything can go wrong, it will. But until now his Laws of Learning have offi- cally gone unnoticed. No doubt you ' ve witnessed the First Student Law which states: If you didn ' t do your homework, there will be a sur- prise quiz worth 40 percent of your grade. Other student laws include the following: — Your favorite teacher will retire or get married and move away. Matt Franklin, Jeff Lovell, and Pete Dodzik complain about the new, lengthy homework assignments. photo Watters Studio Ever Felt You ' re Hanging by a Thread? — You will get the hardest-grading teacher in your poorest subject. ■ — The slower the teacher is in passing out the tests and giving instructions, the longer the test. — The night with the most homework is also the night with the best TV programs. — The length of a class is in direct proportion to the dullness of the teacher ' s material. — Clocks run twice as fast right before school as they do during the last period of the day. — Study hall is noisiest when you have to cram for a test the next period. — Your good grades are taken for granted. Your poor ones are the main topic of conversation by your parents, teachers, counselors, and the entire stu- dent body. — Your biology lab partner will have a weak stomach, and you ' ll have to do all the dissecting.

Next to sports there are more people involved in per- forming arts than in any other activity at Northrop. One thing Indiana high schools are famous for is their excellent marching bands and we have one of the finest. It is, as its name suggests, The Big Orange Pride of Northrop High School. The B.O.P. is not the only musical group we are proud of, we also have Charisma, the swing choir. They have com- peted in many contests and come out on top. Every year there is opportu- nity for any student, whether he be involved in the arts or not, to demonstrate his tal- ents. This all-school tatent show is known as Etc. and has become an annual event. With all of these excellent groups it may seem that Bru- ins are show offs but that ' s not the case. We just believe in the motto — if you ' ve got it, flaunt it . — Gina Snowberger , _ PERFORMING ARTS U 163 Attitude, discipline, leadership make BOP memorable The 1986 Big Orange Pride is one that will live long in band director Barry Ash- ton ' s mind. He thinks that the band was one of the top two or three he has worked with while he has been at Northrop. This band was better at improving each week than any other I have had, said Ashton. A large part of the band ' s success was due to the attitude of this year ' s mem- bers. They were easy to work with, said Ashton. There were no dicipline prob- lems. The band members were also very close; there was no friction among the classes (Senior, Junior, etc.), according to Head Field Commander Deanna Lee. Added Senior Julie Poling, The band got along very well, and we felt good about the year we had. BOP was undefeated and had received the highest regional score going into the state contest. However, in Indianapolis, the band finished sixth. Almost everyone involved thought the Bruins deserved a higher finish. Jeff Beights, a senior, said, We knew we were good, and that ' s all that counts. We were as good as we were when we won state (1983). Senior Jeff Ormerod concurred. This year reminded me a lot of the year we won state, he said. The leadership and quality of the band was very good. One of the most important parts of band leadership falls on the shoulders of the Head Field Commander. Ashton had high praise for the 1986 commander, Se- nior Deanna Lee. She is the best I ' ve ever worked with, said Ashton. Com- menting on the seniors as a whole, Ash- ton said, They started the year weakly, but grew into one of the best classes ever.

CONCERT CHOIR: This year ' s concert choirs had a full schedule of events. They performed as well and as often as possible. There was a lot of hard work, but in the end it really paid off. They are singing quality choral music, said Mr. Bill Heins, head director of the choirs. There was much talent shown by all of the choir members. One senior, Sue Brat- tain, really showed her stuff when she be- came the only F.W.C.S. singer to be se- lected to the All Honors Choir that performed in Indianapolis on October 31st.

Some of the students are solely in Concert Band and for others it ' s also jazz or marching bands. Although this band is not as popular as the others, students who participate have a lot of fun. Varsity and ninth grade bands help in the selection of musical pieces for the upcoming year. This year ' s musical selection should prove to be one of the most challenging that Concert Band students have performed. Northrop ' s performing arts department selected Fiddler on the Roof for the 1987 year. Band Director Barry Ashton, said that this year ' s band is in good since with the music that has been picked. The soundtrack for the movie Fiddler on the Roof was originally performed by the Boston Philharmonic. — Ryan Sturgis CONCERT BAND: (Row 1) Deanna Lee. Linda Bentz, Jane Kurtz.

It ' s sure that many of the students at Northrop High School have the hidden desire to be in the spotlight someday. On Friday. February 13th, several were af- forded this opportunity. Etcetera 87 ' , Northrop ' s annual talent show, was com- posed of 25 acts of various types. The Etc. program, presented by the Perform- ing Arts Department, was warmly re- ceived by students as well as friends and relatives of the performers. The audience, a near capacity crowd, was treated to an entertaining and well-produced show. The show opened with Charisma 87 ' and a few dazzling selections from Little Shop of Horrors. This was followed by performances by other members of the student body. Several people appeared more than once and many with two or three performances, showing the many talents at NHS. In all Etc. 87 ' was a great success. It is obvious that a lot of time and effort went into every act. Everyone who took part in the 87 ' talent show should be comme nd- ed for a job well done. Special recognition goes to Mr. Heins, Mr. Ashton, and Miss Coy. — Kurlie Hitchcock Jason Nicole. Brian Bojrab.

' 87 173 Orchestra Tackles Difficult Music! Most people would agree that the warmest memories you ' ll have of your high school days are those which involve participating in things that you enjoy. Members of the concert orchestra at Nor- throp will always have that special sense of belonging to such an unusual and tal- ented group as this. I feel Northrop has the most compe- tent high school orchestra in the city. What we ' ve done this year has been some of the most difficult music played by our orchestras from the previous years, said Mr. Richard Seeger, the orchestra conductor. This talented group performed well in four concerts and two recruiting tours to elementary and junior high schools throughout the 86 ' -87 ' school year. At Mr. Richard Seeger directs the orchestra dur- ing a practice. photo Tami Clark. Eric Cross (trombone). Curt VanGilder, Doug McConiga and Bill Clinteu (saxophones), get down and get wild at an orchestra practice. This is how orchestra becomes so good. pho- to Tami Clark the ISSMA contest, the orchestra did an excellent job playing Danse Infernale and Bercuse and Finale from the Fire- bird Suite by Stravinsky, and the Unfin- ished Symphony by Shubert. Another unusual fact about this group is the difficulty level of pieces they play. Most high schools couldn ' t even think about playing some of the music that we are playing, unless it was an arrangement (a piece made easier). We ' re playing a lot of originals this year, instead of falling back to the less difficult arranged compo- sitions, said Mr. Seeger. As with everything else at Northrop, the concert orchestra will always stand out from the rest. — Kurlie Hitchcock 174 J ORCHESTRA Members of the orchestra anxiously await their chance to play. photo Jill Robertson Playing the piano during an Orchestra practice is Jessica Marquart. photo Tami Clark ORCHESTRA: (Row 1) Mark Robertson, Ben Mains, Kerri Miser, Mary Satre, Michelle Whitlock, Kristen Seeds, Bryan Smedberg, Nancy Zumwalt, Beth Pensinger, Felix- Moxter.

Charisma is principally a performance organization which performs popular forms of music — usually ' Broadway ' show tunes, top forty or ' standard popu- lar songs or pop standards ' arranged in ' vocal jazz ' style, explained Director Bill Heins. The Charisma Band is made up of members of various Northrop bands and choirs. They occasionally work in seper- ate rehearsals from the choir and have a very limited time to actually rehearse with the singers. Charisma, just like other musical groups, participated in contests. At the Bluffton Street Fair Contest in Septem- ber, Charisma ' 87 placed first. In the spring the group traveled to Watseka, III., Greenwood, In. and also was invited to participate in the 13th annual Luers Mid- west Swing Choir Invitational. At this na- tional event, Charisma made the evening finals and received the 4th runner-up tro- phy. They will be seen nationally for the next year on P.B.S. broadcasts of the Luers Finals. Charisma is primarily used as an enter- tainment group for local groups who want after-dinner entertainment at special meetings. One Christmas performance was given at the Fort Wayne Women ' s Club. Students had to carry the extremely heavy state risers and band equipment up four flights of stairs, exclaimed Mr. Heins. Let ' s here it for lots of hard work! Madrigals is an unusual group because of their 16th and 17th century dress, and their unique style of accapella music pri- marily from 16th and 17th century Eu- rope. The Madrigal Singers entertain at various functions around Fort Wayne. During the Christmas season they were the busiest of Northrop ' s six choral groups, and yet they are the smallest group. On January 31 Madrigals performed before judges at the ' ISSMA Solo and Ensemble Contest ' in Fort Wayne. At this event they are given a rating based upon performance standards. In their 15 years at this event, they have a string of 15 Division I (superior) ratings. — Kurlie Hitchcock Now this is wild!

The perfor- mance of Fiddler on the Roof present- ed new and different challenges for all of those people who worked on it. Fiddler on the Roof is set in Ana- tevka, a small village in Russia in the year 1905, on the eve of the revolutionary peri- od. It surrounds the idea of tradition and the arrangement of marriage of the chil- dren by their parents. The Fiddler comes out on the roof everytime that tradition is broken. Tradition is broken when Tzeitel wants to marry Motel, the Tailor, and her parents have already arranged the mar- riage between her and Lazar Wolf, the Butcher. The cast consisted of 60 very talented people, an orchestra of 48 and a crew (construction crew and show running crew) of 31. I was extremely pleased and proud of the success of ' Fiddler on the Roof. The cast, orchestra and crew all worked ex- tremely hard to present a difficult musical with very polished and professional re- sults, asserted Mr. Del Procter. — Kurlie Hitchcock The women sing of the tradition of the housewife and their duties. photo Watters Studio The peasants sing of tradition and the meaning it holds with their ancestors. photo Watters Studio SPRING MUSICAL 179 Jazz Hot Again At Northrop! Jazz Band I is the elite group of musi- cians that all good players hope someday to achieve. This year Jazz I developed some outstanding soloists, which is sur- prising because the band ' s past soloists have been a weakness. Jazz I participat- ed in Western Michigan Jazz Festival on March 21. where they were a contender this year. We didn ' t win, but let ' s just say we were close. They ' re more disciplined than any other band I ' ve had before. They ' re so much more natural than the bands of the past. It ' s not easy playing the charts we do, but their playing is more on the college level than highschool ex- plained Mr. Barry Ashton, director of Jazz Band I. Mr. Dick Seeger directs Northrop ' s Jazz Band II. Like Jazz I, you audition to be a member, and they go to many of the same festivals. Mr. Kevin Klee directs Jazz Band III, a training band where no audition is needed to join. Anyone who can play and has the desire to learn can join.

The Year of the Body ' is 1987! Enthusiasm was in the air as the Mr. Northrop ' s Bodybuilding Contest got un- derway on May 1, 1987. Northrop ' s student ' body ' has been getting fit for this special season. Some contestants even started preparing as early as two months before the contest with vigorous exercise routines and plenty of weightlifting. During the contest the participants greased their bodies down with oil and flexed their muscles to their choice of music in a routine that most of them had been preparing for for about two weeks. Some contestants used QT (quick tan), to tone and give definition to their muscles. There were a few different divisions in the contest, including a Men ' s Short, Me- dium, Tall and Overall Division and a Miss Division. Winners included Men ' s Short Division, Ron Hardy; Men ' s Medium Divi- sion, Michael Ealy; Men ' s Tall Division, Lewis Griffin; and Men ' s Overall — Mr. Northrop, Michael Ealy.

Hornak said, I entered the contest be- cause I love competition! I enjoy lifting and running in my spare time and I like to challenge myself whenever I can.

Does it give you the feeling that you aren ' t real- ly a part of the school? If you answered yes to either of these questions what you need to do is get involved, join a club. Northrop has over 15 clubs and organizations to offer stu- dents. Some are academic, such as the French Club, but ' 86- ' 87 DECA display district compe- tition awards, photo Lisa Aker others are extra-curricular, such as S.A.D.D. To be a member means dedication and time. If you don ' t believe this ask any cheerleader. Cheerleading is one club that demands a lot of time from its members. So if you want to do more than just exist at Northrop you don ' t have a problem — just get involved. — Gina Snowberger ACTIVITIES i 185 Spirit For All No school would be complete without the notorious spirit leaders or cheerlead- ers. They are responsible for promoting school spirit and cheering the teams onto numerous victories. The Bruin ' s 86-87 cheerleaders had a year full of hard work, dedication, and most of all, fun! It began at the end of June 1986 and ended in June 1987. First on their schedule was cheerlead- ing camp at Ball State University in late June. They learned new cheers and at- tended various sessions on fundraising and group communication. October brought much preparation and planning for Homecoming Week. They helped plan the days of Spirit Week, blew up balloons that were released during the game, put on a pep-session, and collect- varsity cheerleaders rouse up the crowd during a game against Bishop Dwenger. photo Lisa Aker ed over $400 to contribute toward the homecoming fire works. With all this, they still found time to prepare for cheering at the game. Mrs. Carol Freck, cheerleading spon- sor, expects support for the program from the girls, and she gets it. The girls always give more than thier fair share. she said, They ' re really good to work with. They put in approximately 15 hours a week and even longer hours during tour- nament weeks. They really deserve a lot of credit and a big Thank-You! Students don ' t seem to realize, Freck continued, how difficult it is to keep the spectators fired up in those not-so-up times of the game. — Stacy Ferro Give me an ' N ' !

Their performance showed grace and poise but nothing could illustrate the amount of hard work needed for a good show. Each spring, potential corps members must learn a routine and perform before judges. If they make the corps, members must attend summer band, perform in the Three Rivers Festival Parade, and go to band camp. At band camp, members learn routines from Skip Kelley and Alan Casey, profes- sional corps members. Flag member Mi- chelle Wakely stated, We eat, drink, and sleep BAND! The hard work doesn ' t end with band camp, though. Members must then per- fect every second of their routine for the marching season. Teresa Lucas, flag member, said, I think we did a really good job thanks to Alan and Skip.

Cooperative Of- fice Education is a club that enables se- nior students to learn about the business world before they go out on their own. C.O.E.. directed by Mr. Richard Housel, is a class-like club that helps students learn to be good employees. Students re- ceive individual instruction, which helps them strengthen their weak points. Partic- ipating students receive one credit for class work and two credits for working at a job the job is selected by Mr. Housel, although students are responsible for get- ting the job. Students particpating in C.O.E. elect officers who then make the club more independent of their director. This year ' s officers included Jim Disch, president; John Guinrich, vice-president; Robin Neal, secretary; Julie Underwood, treasurer; Laura Buhr, reporter; and Kelly Bowers, reporter. In connection with C.O.E., there is also O.E.A. (Office Education Association). O.E. A. is strictly for people who would like to learn more about the business world. Students who participate in this must also be in C.O.E. Housel is the director of this, also. He is assisted by an advisory board which is made up of four graduate students. C.O.E. and O.E.A. give students a chance to learn about office jobs and business before they live on their own. People who wish to join these clubs usu- ally do so in September. Sharon Collins 192 COE — — — — ■ 43 HI HHHi _ 1 j 1 ' 9 u - - - - The Wonderful World of Business Distributive Education Clubs of Ameri- ca, better known as DECA, is a club that deals with the marketing enterprise. It ' s the only student organization operating through the nation ' s schools to attract students to careers in marketing, distribu- tion, merchandising, and management. This program gives the students an op- portunity to get a ' real ' taste of the busi- ness world by learning skills now that you can use your whole lifeti me, explained business teacher Miss Titzer. Marketing and Distribution is a two year program that students can take during their junior and senior years. It is set up so that students can participate in many ar- eas such as sales product, career work- shops, social activities and civic projects such as Adoption of a Christmas Bureau Family project. During the school year, DECA students compete against other schools. Starting with the district competition, students then advance to state or national levels. The student competes in the area of busi- ness skills he or she is most comfortable with. — Tami Clark DECA 1 193 Keeping the Students informed No one can possibly know everything that is going on in a large school. One organization, however; does. It is the staff of What ' s Bruin? . The What ' s Bruin? staff is responsi- ble for covering sports events, musicals and student interest stories . . . some- times all in the same night. While this may sound impossible, it is actually quite sim- ple thanks to the brilliant organizational talents of Editor-in-chief Mark Schoeff, Jr. and Advisor Wendy Kruger. This organi- zation survived many trials this past year including a four week maternity leave by Mrs. Kruger. The What ' s Bruin? , a bi-weekly pub- lication, is comprised of beginning and advanced journalism students. In April these students traveled to Ball State Uni- versity for a busy day of journalism work- shops. The student paper gives students an opportunity to express their views on school, local and national issues through its opinion page and keeps students in- formed of school activities. — Andi Cole, Jane Kurtz Staff members Linda Bentz, Angie Parrish and Ja- mie Cupp discuss a new page design.

You make the only permanant record of school events. On a warm September day in 1985 Mrs. Wendy Kruger said this to her beginning journalism students. One year later, these very students took on the responsibility of compiling a history of the school year. September was a busy time for the yearbook staff. Pages were designed, stories were as- signed, photographs were taken, and events were recorded. But even before September arrived the yearbook co-editors packed their bags and headed to Ball State University for an intensive one-week journalism workshop. Gina Snowberger and Sara Seibert spent one hot July week designing yearbook pages, picking a yearbook theme and de- veloping the leadership skills — and their enthusiasm — for the year ahead. They returned with many new ideas and lots of energy which they put to use inspiring other staff members to work hard for the Co-Editor-in-Chief Gina Snowberger diligently types yearbook stories onto the computer disc. photo S- cott Edwards yearbook. Selling advertising was a major activitiy during the first five weeks of school. Stu- dents developed their sales techniques and took to the streets and the phone to raise money for the publications depart- ment. First year journalism students were able to sell the most ads per person. As the year progressed and pages were completed, activity decreased. No casual passer-by would ever recognize the relaxed individuals as once frantic stu- dents trying to get things finished. In April, students traveled to Ball State University where they learned new ways to raise money and make the yearbook more interesting. The yearbook staff is made of advanced journalism students and some beginning journalism students. A yearbook is the history of the school. This year ' s staff made a sometimes crazy, sometimes organized effort to ' capture the moment ' . — Jane Kurtz Staff member Jenny Welsh decides which pose is best for the yearbook page. photo Scott Edwards YEARBOOK 195 Skating to Success The Northrop Bruin Hockey Club had a very successful 86-87 season, taking third place in the city and fourth place in the state tournament class AAA. The Bruins were in the semi-final game with the St. Joe Kingsmen. The Kingsmen slid a shot past Senior Goaltender Henry McKinnon in the fourth overtime to break the two-two tie. It was the best game we ever played this year. said coach Colin Lister. The Bruin leers had three players on the all-state team this year. Junior Bob Krosky and Senior Ben Shiley made first line all-state. Senior Ben Shiley made first line all-state center. This was the second consecutive year that a Bruin made first line center. The team started out a little slow then peaked at the state tournament. Next season will be promising for the Bruins, although, they will lose four seniors; Bob Shuler, Shane Martinez, Henry McKinnon, and Ben Shiley. There will be seven re- turning juniors next year, Bob Krosky, Jeff Barton, Dave Orn, Jack Givens, Brett Shuler, and Dave Hastings. Sophomores coming back include, Pat Doran, Jeff Robertson, Mike Fitzsimmons, Heath Heck, and Chris Raptis.

The talent show, which was the high point of the Afro American Club, was run by students with a small amount of help from sponsors Mr. Ken Causey and Miss Reba Mosley. The production was open to the entire student body and faculty and was performed in January. Besides the talent show, the Afro- American Club had monthly meetings to discuss problems and prepare fun- draisers. Officers this year included: James Suttle, president; Robin Dunn, vice president; Brenda Chapman, secretary; Mia Kelsaw, treasurer. The Afro-American Club is a club that helps promote fellowship and positive peer pressure.

The student council is a group of students elected by their peers who help make communications between the administration and the student body less severe. In addition to planning social events such as the homecoming dance and bonfire, the student council helps students get more involved with the community. They raise money for WOWO Penny Pitch as well as collecting food and clothing for families with low incomes. This year the council sold raffle tickets and awarded numerous prizes in order to raise money for such purposes. The student council is a vital part of the school. It enables students to voice their disagreement concerning administrative decisions without having to worry about being scorned or punished. — Julie Sawvel and Jane Kurtz As in years past, the Christmas tree, decorated by the Student Council, added to the festive holiday spirit, photo Michelle Trowbridge STUDENT COUNCIL: (Row 1) Bob Stoll, Natalie Nelson, Mike Ealy.

The skiers slalomed their way down the slopes of Michigan, ignoring the bitter cold of winter. Despite what a person might think, one doesn ' t have to be an expert skier to be in Ski Club. Mr. Frank Ebetino, ski club advi- sor, said all a person needs to be in the ski club are warm clothes and a positive attitude. They also have to be willing to have fun. Fun was definitely in the air this year. The first ski trip the club made was to Canonsburg, Michigan. There was one in- jury — a person broke his collar bone in an attempt to learn the proper skiing techniques . The second trip the club made was void of injury and full of fun. Ski events were planned by club presi- dent, Beth Richards, and club sponsor, Mr. Ebetino. The club is open to every- one, even non-skiers, and fun is a guaran- tee. — Matt Smith -J e- CH wF r Seniors Debbie McClintock, Kim Nelson, Mark Stradley, and Travis Barkey dangle in mid-air as they ride toward the slopes. photo Mr. Ebetino Club president Beth Richards strikes a pose on the Ski club members prepare to shove off on their slopes. photo Mr. Ebetino winter adventures. photo Mr. Ebetino Karen McClintock throws her cares to the wind as she races down a hill, photo Mr. Ebetino SKI CLUB 201 Club President Kim Tosconi plans upcoming club trips. photo Tami Clark Learning and Living In the Great Outdoors Dark, damp caves, pesky mosquitoes, and dirty city streets are all things en- countered by members of the Ecology Club. This year the Ecology Club took trips to caves, canoed through the Okefenokee Swamp, and traveled to Florida in order to get members involved with nature. While having fun, members also become aware of the community and its values. Mr. John McCory, club sponsor, said, I like the people to have fun, but I also make sure that they learn something about nature and themselves. McCory went on to say that members are flexible, and are given a large degree of freedom. Club officers for this year were Kim Tosconi. president; John Steinkamp, vice-president; Mellisa Mokel, secretary; and Abbie Decker, secretary.

One of the most active clubs at Northrop, the Mighty Mouths had one of their best seasons since 1980. The Bruin speakers continually placed high at speech meets every month. Some of the speakers who consistently led the team were Seniors Rob Sandmaier, Mike O ' Hear, and Mike Miller, and Juniors Teri Elliot, Sandra Ray, and Rob Routzhan. This year Seniors Mike O ' Hear and Rob Sankmaier qualified for Nationals, which took place in Cincinnatti. Forensics is open to anyone interested in joining.

The club was formed to promote study and understanding of Ger- many, said club sponsor Jessica Glen- denning. The club was approximately for- ty strong and led by President Heidi Herron: Vice-president Erin Klekot; Se- cretary treasurer Julie Hull; and Social chairperson Kathi Lohr. The year kicked off with a fund raiser which raised close to $2,000 within two weeks. Money was raised by selling cook- ies, posters, locker decorations, etc. A soon-to-be-annual event was the Christmas party. The event was done en- tirely in the German tradition. A fifteen day trip to Germany during June was supposed to be the high point of the year.

They believe that an acquaintence with the civi- lization of Greece and Rome wili help them understand and appreciate our cul- ture which is indebted to the ancient civili- zation for its government, laws, arts, and literature. Some of the activities the club took part include a program on monsters of Mythology, during this project students performed skits related to class studies, and an Italian dinner at Casa d ' Angelo ' s. Club members also took part in a Satur- nalia Party. Saturnalia is a holiday that was celebrated by the Romans during Christmas. The Junior Classical Club meets the third Tuesday of every month.

(Students Against Drunk Driving) chapter kicked off the school year with the purchase of several hundred mirrored keychains. One side of the key- chain says Students Against Driving Drunk, and the other. Northrop High School S.A.D.D. Chapter. They were awarded to the first lucky 50 students inside the doors at the Winter Semi-For- mal oance in January. Scott Bojrab, pres- ident of the chapter, said, Their purpose was to help remind students to be re- sponsible and not drink while driving. There is always a need for teens to drive safely, but especially during the prom and graduation season when teens are most likely to drink. This year S.A.D.D. made available a certificate for students to sign promising not to drink and drive during this time. Students who signed this card received a brochure with valuable coupons inside. Future plans for S.A.D.D. include pro- ducing a commercial to be shown on local television promoting the need for safety while behind the wheel. — Nancy Zumwalt President Scott Bojrab works on campaigns against drunk driving. photo Tami Clark Sharon Collins and Tammy Rugman examine key- •.- ■-. ■ 9 and slogans for operation Prom Graduation. photo Tami Clark 206 S.A.D.D. FCA — Living and Growing Guest speakers, fund raisers, and trips to places such as Black Mountain, North Carolina are activities typical of most school clubs; FCA is no exception. The Fellowshop of Christian Atheletes is a school club that meets every second and fourth Friday morning of the month. During these meetings, students have de- votions and Bible studies. Sometimes stu- dents viewed films, listened to guest speakers, and have business meetings. FCA members are given opportunities to travel to camps in Pennsylvania, Mar- shall, Indiana; and North Carolina. Stu- dents also help usher at ballet perfor- mances and serve as camp counselors at muscular dystrophy camps. Students don ' t have to be athletes to be in FCA, although it is recommended. Officers are elected and are allowed to run the meetings. This year the officers were: Jim Plumb, president; Tina Toirac, vice-president; Brian McNeal, treasurer; and Amy Jackson; Secretary.

These things have become a major con- cern for parents. An organization that helps teens find answers for their prob- lems is Campus Life. Campus Life, a branch of Youth for Christ, brings high school teens together to talk about their problems. Senior Mark Roussey explains, We meet every week at a different person ' s house. We talk about parents, drugs, anything we might have problems facing. We also do things like hayrides and bananna split parties. Students don ' t lead the discussions completely by themselves. They get help from Greg Crim, Campus Life Sponsor. Campus Life isn ' t exclusive to Nor- throp. There are branches at various high schools throughout the community.

The indoor season, played at Tah- Cum-Wah recreation center, was labeled as, respectable by Martin Blundall, soccer coach. Although Blundall was a bit disappointed by varsity play, he was ex- cited over the reserves ' performances. The outdoor season was tremendous for Northrop. Their regular season record of 8-1 led the city and drew the first real attention to Northrop soccer in a long time. In the city tournament Northrop brushed through the first two rounds with victories over Huntington North and Bish- op Luers. Homestead then blocked Nor- throp 4-0 in the semifinals. Although Blundall and the team were disappointed with their play they were happy because this tournament marked the first time in soccer club history to make it to the semi- finals. Three players were voted to the city all- star team by a coaches poll. Dan Mer- chant, goalie; Jason Miller, defender; and Jeff Fox, halfback all made first team. — Jeff Lovell SOCCER CLUB 209 The staff of the 1987 Bear Tracks wishes to thank all of the parents and businesses who supported this publica- tion through advertising.

A community is more than people living and working. A community is a part of every person in it. The more a person puts into it, the more they get out of it. Fort Wayne is a community of over 175,000 people living together in a place they are proud of. All of these people work together to achieve a goal — to make their commu- nity the best it can be. There is a sense of small town togetherness in this not- so-small town. This together- ness can be felt the most in times of need. For example, almost every year this commu- nity experiences a flood. Dur- ing this time of crisis the whole community pulls together to get through the bad times. After all of the hard work put into a community the peo- ple can take a look at their city, a place they worked to make better, and they can be proud of their accomplish- ments. Fort Wayne has many things to be proud of, such as the General Motors plant, which brought jobs and big business, the Grand Wayne Center and all of the other fine things in our community. It doesn ' t stop here though. Generation after generation will work to better their com- munity. Nothing will stand in the way of progress and noth- ing will keep people from working for their community, a community that also works for them. — Gina Snowberger Santa Claus makes a stop at the Ft Wayne National Bank building, photo Tami Clark COMMUNITY 211 FOOD Fans!

What are you doing tonight? I don ' t know, something wild and crazy. Ya, how about Rock Ameri- ' ca, or Putt Putt? This is one of the conversations you would hear in the halls of Northrop High School on a Friday afternoon. Have you ever sat at home alone, won- dering where to go, or what to do? Here are a few places students go just to hang loose after hard week of school. Cantebury is a great place to eat and socialize with all of your friends. There is also the cultural side of things too! The Art Museum, Performing Arts Center, the PIT Theater, Embassy The- ater or even a carriage ride around town, these places and others are always nice to visit on those special occasions. With all these things availiable in Fort Wayne you should never be home, sitting around with nothing to do!

Wayne, IN They Celebrated In New York Baseball fever, catch it! The season ' s over and all the players have packed up to leave except the New York Mets, Hous- ton Astros, California Angels, and the Boston Red Sox. As soon as you know it, the playoffs begin. In the playoffs anything can hap- pen. But the New York Mets and the Bos- ton Red Sox would prevail to advance to the Fall Classic, The World Series. The Mets and Red Sox would meet head-to-head in one of the best match- ups in the history of professional baseball. Both teams were required to play the full 7 playoff games in order to play here. The Mets faced probably the tougher oppo- nent, the Astros. These two would play almost to the death, until after 16 innings the Mets won. The Angels, on the other hand, just couldn ' t play with the Red Sox. When these two powers met, it all start- ed out sour for the Mets, falling behind 0- 2, but ended up sweet. During this time of the series, the Mets couldn ' t figure out what was happening. Lucky for them they figured it out and won the World Series 4- 3. In Game 7, Ray Knight was a standout through out the series and was named M.V.P. Now as the dust clears and the snow falls, the New York Mets can rest knowing they proved that they were the best team in professional baseball. — Euel Osborne COMMUNITY 217 Novelty Lisa Aker: You ' ve Brought Us So Many Special Joys.

For all of them, this was their first experience living in America, and they all enjoyed the different American foods, fashions, and lifestyles. In Finland, Hanna Vuokko enjoys going David Ferriol, Elena Silvan. Hanna Vuokko. Gunter Buchau. Elsa Martin get a taste ot American life at Northrop. photo Scott Edwards to discos with her friends. There they play many kinds of music, but Hanna said that they get most American music about a year late. A big difference between Nor- throp and Hanna ' s old school is what Hanna calls formality . In Finland, teachers are called by their first names and all students dress very casually. David Ferriol is from the French Riviera. School there is much different than school here. He has no choice regarding which classes to take except to select a third language and English is required. Also, David felt that classes in France are more difficult than many of the classes here. David was very involved in sports. He was on the varsity basketball team here, while back at home he is a member of a basketball club. In France, when he gets together with his friends, he likes to go to the beach or to nightclubs where there is no drinking age. Elsa Martin is from Cady, Spain, and like David, she enjoys going to nightclubs with her friends. Elsa was very involved in activities at Northrop such as Advanced Trebel Choir and the Ski Club. The first thing she said about Northrop was It ' s so big! Much bigger than my old school. In Spain you must take English as you do in France, and your teachers choose which classes you will take. — Nancy Zumwalt and Sue Barnhardt Tami Brewer, We ' ll always be proud of you.

Mark 66. 91 Lori Meinerding, In- diana ' s Miss Basket- ball, means more to a team than her playing ability, says her high school coach. Meinerding led Nor- throp to two final four appearances and the 1986 state championship. In a poll of coaches, sportswriters and sportscasters con- ducted by the India- napolis Star, the 5- foot-1 1 Meinerding was the overwhelming choice to wear the No. 1 jersey in the an- nual All-Star series with Kentucky. It ' s the person she is. She ' s a great ball- player and a great hu- man being. She ' s so caring and works so hard that she ' ll suc- ceed at anything she wants, said Northrop Coach Dave Riley of Lori Meinerding — winner of the Mental Attitude Award and Miss Basketball the senior, who credit- ed her teammates for the award. With any other team, I doubt whether I would have gotten this award. I couldn ' t have played as well without them. And that ' s not just the oth- er four starters, who often gave the ball up to me to score, but also the other players, who pushed the start- ers every day in prac- tice, she said. Meinerding, who was also given the IH- SAA Mental Attitude Award this year, aver- aged 17.7 points, 10.1 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.9 steals for Northrop in her se- nior year. The above is an ex- erpt from an Associ- ated Press story pub- lished in the News Sentinnal. INDEX 239 Scaec rmoth) • ie 5 ns E zabeth 1 16 Stephens.

Northrop was host of it ' s first Academic Super Bowl Team. The Academic Su- per Bowl is an event open to all high school students to promote academic in- terest through com- petition. The team consists of a group of students representing the school and subdi- vided into three mem- ber squads compet- ing in general subject areas such as math, english, science, fine arts, and all-around. Although this was the first year for Nor- 0! OSING throp involvement in the program, two teams managed to do well. The social stud- ies and math squad won their division ' s event at the Regional competition April 23 with the math team qualifying for state. The math team went on to collect a fourth place finish in the State Competition in Indianapolis on May 9. This was just the first year for Nor- throp ' s participation in the event. The hope for the future is to see interest in the Super Bowl grow to that of athletics. — Eric Stachera ACADEMIC SUPER BOWL TEAM: (front row) Jason Keller, Chad Fisher, Don Min, Mr. Frank Ebetino.

What many people tend to over- look, with the exception of coaches and proud par- ents, are the numerous athletes who contribute their individual talents to the team. However, this whole situation changes on the night of athletic awards. On this night, coaches are able to reward the efforts of all team members whose talents might otherwise go unnoticed.

At sometime, the Nor- throp girls ' basketball team was going to lose. Unfortunately for the Lady Bruins, : e a , : ' a.fagrj caught up w th them during the afternoon game of the IHSAA Girls ' Basketball State Championship. Northrop lost to Anderson Highland, 55- 49. The Bruins which everyone had been used to seeing disappeared. Northrop ' s inside passing lanes were shut off, they were beaten on the boards, and they played tenatively in the second and third quarters. In that second quarter, the Bru- ins scored only two points. I have no idea why we played that way, said Northrop coach Dave Riley. I called two time-outs, which is more than I ' ve called all year. We changed offenses and defenses, but couldn ' t get going. It was frustrating. The loss was a good learning experi- ence for the returning players. Said Junior Vanessa Williams, We know that no mat- ter how good a record we have, we can still lose at anytime. Riley will miss the departing seniors. They were an awfully nice group, he said. They set good examples for the other players to follow — both in the classroom and on the court. Hopefully, the tradition will continue. The sting of the Bruins ' loss in the after- noon game was partly removed for Senior Lori Meinerding when she won the Mental Attitude Award. The Award is based on a player ' s athletic and academic achieve- ment. I knew I had been nominated, but I didn ' t have the slightest idea I was going to win, said Meinerding. I ' m more proud of this award than any other I have won. This one is based more on what kind of person a player is away from the court, and that makes it more meaningful. — Mark Schoeff Jr. BRUIN SHUFFLE We are the Bruin Shufflin ' Crew, Shufflin ' on down to Indy for you.

It all started with bears in space, that caused people to talk. After that we knew Changes Were Bruin, so many changes that we went cra- zy. This is a different experience for us but we hope you like it. This yearbook of course is for the se- niors, to enable them to look back on their last year of high school and remem- ber all of the crazy times they had. It is also to remind them that even though life demands a certain degree of seriousness one has to let loose and get a little crazy once in a while. I had a lot of fun making this book. I only hope that each of you had half as much fun reading it. You can expect great things out of the journalism department in -.v ng ears under the direction of i Kruger.
