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.

Love is . . . Being their best Friend Love is ... a feeling to treasure ... a heart big enough for two . . . sharing your dreams. Many students were afflicted by this mysterious feeling called love. It was seen everywhere as couples sat together in the commons, held hands in the halls, or even sneaked kisses between periods. Although the students were often chastised by teachers, they continued to show their affection for one another during the school day. Students viewed relationships dif- ferently. Some chose to spend their high school year with that one spe- cial person, and because of this, a closeness was experienced by the couples who had been together for a long time. Although Barney is my boyfriend, he is also my best friend. He is easier to talk to than some of my girl friends. I think our friendship is what helps our relationship stay so strong, Commented sophomore Nicole Miller. Other students felt that dating many different people was the best way to spend their high school photo by Heather Hamm years. Junior Chad Conley stated, Would you chew the same piece of gum everyday? Seriously, I think the advantage of dating around is that I can go out with anyone I want without worrying about hurting someone. These students believed that as long as they did not fall in love they would be spared the pain of sepa- ration when it came time to go to college. This is one of the reasons they did not want to get serious too soon. Others just were not interest- ed in a steady relationship. Some of the students ' parents did not want their children to get serious because they believed that they would be missing an important part of high school life. They wanted them to date around and discover the many different types of people and personalities so they would know the meaning of love. Whether the students had a steady relationship or were just dat- ing around, they all seemed to have a great time and not regret the choices they had made.
