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

- 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.
