This increase means that the graduating class of 1987 and on will be spending twenty hours more of classroom schoolwork. This increase in credits required to graduate was only a change locally. There are schools across Nebraska who have already raised their credits required to graduate. Many students were curious as to why the decision to raise credits was to go into effect now, and not any other time. Mr. Curtis, the school guidance counselor, explained,“For the benefit of the students to gain more knowledge to meet standards that the school board felt necessary for students to graduate. This idea to increase credits originated from college requirements.” The junior class in now required to take World History and Geography. The other classes that have been raised in credits are English and Social Studies. How will this affect some of the students? Some of the students that had planned on graduating mid-term may have to go a full year if they haven’t earned enough credits previously. “I’m for anything that can expand the minds of humans,” Mr. Rathe said. 22 Juniors

The NCHS Sophomores A person’s Sophomore year can usually be described in a couple of words. In a poll taken, the 1985-86 Sophomores of NCHS described their Sophomore year. The class of 1988’s favorite class was biology and their favorite T.V. show was “The Cosby Show.” The typical Sophomore’s favorite color and food was blue and pizza. They felt the world’s most pressing issue was the worldwide threat of terrorists. Traditionally, the Sophomore class plans and finances the Holiday Dance. Usually, fund-raisers are used to raise the money. This year was different. “This year we sold concessions at various sports activities,” said Mrs. DuBois, Sophomore class sponsor, “We still have money left over that we are saving for our Junior year.” The 1985-86 Sophomore class officers are: Kent Lee - president, Julie Sheppard - vice-president, Traci Eaton - secretary, and Kristi Rodeman - treasurer.
