Students Enjoy Life Away From N.H.H.S. For many, everything just came to life after school. There were things to look forward to like going home and cooking dinner, or maybe even just crashing in front of the tube. But there were also the dreaded re- sponsibilities of going to work, prac- ticing, or the armload of homework that the teachers assigned along with the term paper that was due two days ago. I usually work after school which generally takes up most of my time. I don ' t mind since all of my money is going towards SPRING BREAK!! stated Senior Misty Baker. Life for many athletes was spent before or after school at the long, hard hours of practice. Although practice is hard, the thrill of winning overcomes the enduring hard work, commented junior Rob Nor- ton. Life was not all work, but it also included some playing. Tanning beds proved to be a big thing after school. Memberships often ranged from $29 to $50 for 10 sessions. Sen- ior Diana Henry commented, Be- cause my dad owns the Sun, Fun, and Fitness Center I enjoy going down after hours. It gives me a chance to relax, not to mention the year long tan. Going to the malls was also a fa- vorite activity among many stu- dents. For some it was required be- cause they worked at one of the many stores, but for others it was because they enjoyed going shop- ping or meeting new people. I go shopping to look at the new styles, along with the great looking guys, commented junior Susan Zehr. When the long, dreary week of school was only half way through students were already praying for Friday to roll around, in order to es- cape the hassle of teachers and homework. Everytime Monday comes around I look forward to Friday, then the weekends go by so fast and Monday is here again! stated freshmen Kristie Auvenshine. Throughout the day we heard the chatter of the loyal soap opera fans. General Hospital, Guiding Light, Young and the Restless, and All My Children were some favorites. Although during the school year stu- dents fell behind, it had us wishing for delays or cancellations, and even the 3:05 bell and the end of the school year. — Heidy Hamm LONG HOURS OF practice pay off with per- fection for the highlights.

Reliving The Past Looking back at the year of ' 86 Time: 2050 A.D. Place: NHHS Discovery: Time Capsule Found by: School Custodian Contents: Records, movies, clothes, photos and the following letter. Dear friends of the future, You have discovered the 1985-86 school year time capsule. These were the places, clothing, movies, and music that we enjoyed most during the school year. Eating was one of our favorite pastimes and everyone knew the places to go for great food were Pizza Hut, McDonalds, or Bandidos. We hope these food chains are still in existance so you can taste these unsurpassable foods. If the weekend started to lag we would get a group of NHHS students packed in a car and head out to some of the more popular cites for entertainment; for example, Frie- mann Square, Rock America, or Shoaff Park, When we were in a sit- down mood we would go to the malls, to see a movie. We watched action-packed movies such as Rambo II and Beverly Hills Cop or laughed at the outrageous antics in Pee-Wee Herman ' s Big Adven- ture and Back to the Future. The cool pastel colors, and pais- ley prints were the things to wear for the laaies of NHHS when they went t I out on a date with their Don John- son look-a-likes. Mickey Mouse and Coca-Cola shirts were also bought by the mil- lions. It seemed like everyone owned one or the other. Although there were many styles of shoes, Reebok was favored for our tender feet. While getting ready for school we listened to our favorite groups such as Huey Lewis and the News, Motley Crue, Van Halen, Phil Collins, and Journey. When the Superbowl weekend fi- nally arrived, we all gathered around the T.V. to watch the awe- some Chicago Bears and the New England Patriots battle it out. Al- though the game was not that ex- citing because of the Bears easy win, we all had fun rocking to the Superbowl Shuffle. These items were very important to us during the 1985-86 school year. We did not win all of our games and meets, but we tried our hardest. We had our share of disap- pointments and let downs, but more than that made our high school years something special. They will be the most memorable days of our lives. The teachers and our class- mates will live on in our minds for- ever. These memories are irrepla- ceable. photo by Lori Dager photo by Doug Geiler MOTLEY CRUE WAS one of the many groups that tourned Ft. Wayne during the 1985-86 school year.
