Pom pon squad kicks their way to a first With gusto and determination Senior Chris Stassinos took eleven new Pom Pon girls and quickly brought them together to achieve an overall 2nd rating at camp this past summer. Under the direction of their advisor Vicki Zidell, the girls dazzled Northville fans with their entertaining and colorful half-time performances. The highlight of their season came at Mid-American Competition wh ere the pom pon girls, with the assistance of twelve able bodied males, brought home a first place trophy for their novelty routine. The squad also received an award for being the most entertaining squad at competition. The pom pon girls of NHS continue to provide Northville audiences with half-time shows extraordinaire.

J lastics Gymnastics team rebuilds Despite the problems of broken equipment and a young squad, Coach Michelle Charnlga and Manager Mike Valentine managed to pull everything together and accomplish many goals. Patti Dunnabeck, the team ' s only senior, competed on the beam and floor exercise along with junior Theresa Gatti, who also par- ticipated on bars. Sophomore Angle Miller competed on beam and vault. Another sophomore, Sherri Lane, competed on vault and bars. Junior Liz Hartman participated on beam and bars. The team had five all-arounders; juniors Tonia Hickman and Donna Dunnabeck, sophomore Shelly Stelnhebel, and freshmen Yvonne Beebe and Wendy Beach. These people carried the weight of the team, but the success of the team was due to everyone working together. Captain Tonia Hickman and Wendy Beach also qualified for th e Regional Meet in Jackson. The 1986 season was a rebuilding year, but the future of the women ' s varsity gymnastics team looks very promising. Gymnast Tonia Hickman works out on the balance beam.
