Money talks Saying ‘Hello,’ saying ‘Goodbye’ Money!!! Everyone needs it and wants it. Many students found working after school and on weekends quite demanding on their time, but financially rewarding. Some worked to help expand their income, some to save money for a car, and some to support expensive tastes and habits. Sophomore Kristie Hudson worked because being a cheerleader and involved in other activities, her mom can’t support her alone. She enjoyed her job very much. Kristie said. ”1 like being around different people.” She planned to continue working in order to go to college and become a psychologist. Kevin Chesshir, a junior, worked on Saturdays and Sundays at Big T. Kevin enjoyed earning money and spending the money. He cooked and cleaned up when working nights. He replied about his job, ‘‘It’s fairly easy although at times it’s hard when there's a lunch crowd or buses come in.” Sophomore Todd Castleman worked after school and on Saturdays at M W Thriftway as a stockman and a grocery sacker. Todd liked to work, and liked having extra money in his pockets. He had his eyes set on a certain set of wheels, which he hoped to be able to afford. He awaited the weekend to spend the money at ball games, J J, or the movies. Jim Hamilton, a senior, worked at Quality Shoe Store as a salesman after school and on Saturdays. He wanted extra money to pay for a truck and the fast lanes. Jim compared the shoe business and school by saying, ‘‘I think shoes and Scrappers have one thing in common. It’s not because they both start with ‘s’, but. they both stink after practice.” Pizza Hut employee Jeannette Harris enjoyed her work. She saved her money for college where she planned to study computer programming. The extra money went to car payments and entertainment. Steve Graves, a junior, did darkroom work for the family-owned Nashville News. Steve’s plans were to go to college at the University of Arkansas. Steve didn't plan on doing darkroom work, but if he comes back to Nashville there’s a possibility he will. Students had lots of reasons for wanting extra money. Some were routine, some unusual. Whether they were printing pictures or stocking shelves, students found that part - time jobs provided the extra cash to take out a special girl or boost the family's income.

Fair weather A different kind of fall entertainment The County Fair was an event greatly anticipated by many. Guys began saving their money to take that special girl out and treat her to carnival rides and to win the coveted stuffed animals. Agri students started taking extra care of their work to be judged. The annual Howard County Fair began September 9 with the Fair Parade, an exciting event for everyone who took part in it. There was fierce competition for the prizes awarded to the best decorated cars and vehicles. The 1981 Fair Queen, Kelley Lovelis, was admired by everyone. The winners on the decorated cars and vehicles were first place, NHS cheerleaders; second place, NJHS cheerleaders; tied for third, the Nashville senior class and Mineral Springs Junior High cheerleaders. David Harding, Randy Lewis, and Alan Wakefield take some time off in the shade. NHS students really shone with outstanding artwork and animals. The enthusiasm displayed by all was indescribable. Everyone who participated in the events was, in a sense, a winner. Animals were judged in the following ways: their appearance, bone structure, height, and proportion. The winners included: light market bar-rows: third place Joe Paul Tomerlin; light steers: second place Alan Wakefield, first place Skipper Davis; medium steers: first place Kenneth Mikulek, second place David Harding, and Jim Bob Hockaday; heavy steers: Randy Lewis first, Danny Raulerson, second; cattle showmanship: first place Danny Raulerson; junior heifers six-twelve months: Joe Lewis, first. In the high school art division there were several winners from NHS. This division was divided into different categories such as string art, free hand pencil, water colors, and pen and ink. Joe Lewis received a blue ribbon in the string art division. Stephanie House, Jennifer Young, and Eddie Williams entered the division of free hand pencils. Jennifer received blue and red ribbons for her work, Stephanie received one white and one red ribbon, and Eddie received one red. Eddie also entered the pen and ink contest. Gaylon Couch won first place with her scratch board drawing, and went on to win at the Four States Fair in Texarkana. Mr. Hollis Hughes, junior high art teacher, won the Sweepstakes Prize in his division. He also won first place in the Four States Fair. No matter what the circumstances were, everyone had a great time at the fair, and they left looking forward to next year s fair, hoping it would be even better.
