'!U .j Our senior class has voted to dedicate the 1980-81 yearbook to Mrs. Cynthia Norman. Speaking from experience Mrs. Norman is a great friend. On the first day of school, when we were sophomores, we were .. blessed with her smiling and cheerful face in homeroom. Not many people knew her until they were .-'juniors. Many had her for English class. She sure knows how to make English enjoyable! During our senior year she helped the seniors do their floats and she also was very helpful to Student Council. Throughout all of our stay here at NHS she has sponsored the Drama Club and has been the advisor of the Nitronian. On behalf of the senior class, I would like to show our appreciation for all that she has done for us and the sup- ' port. She has given us much by dedicating this yearbook to her. We thank you and love you, Mrs. 4 Norman! :31' l t'. , h Senior Class History Entering high school was a strange, new and exciting experience, one we shall never forget. Our Sophomore year began by electing Jeff llGooseii Fisher, President, Lori Potts Vice-President, and Jennifer Barker, Secretary-Treasurer as our class officers. For Homecoming '79 we came together and made our first float, liSomewhere Over the Rainbowfi Our attendant to Miss Wildcat was Beth Dodson, escorted by Chip Jarrett. In this year of our llnew beginning we felt intimidated by our upperclassmen but our time was to come. As Juniors our class officers were Harry Adkins, President, Mike Little, Vice-President, and Roddy Burns, Secretary-Treasurer. Jill McClanahan escorted, by Vance Parrish, was our attendant for Homecoming. This was a big year for us. One highlight was ordering our class rings. The other highlight of the year was the Prom. As our final gift to the Senior Class llSouthern Nights" was exquisite. This was when we realized that our next year would be our final year of high school. Our Senior year. We had finally made it to the top. Our class officers were George Freebersyser, President, Jennifer Barker, Vice-President, and Kelly Dotson, Secretary-Treasurer. ilThe Cats will Reign in i80ll was the name of our winn- ing float for Homecoming. The student body selected Mary Beth Reveal for the title of llMiss Wildcat? She was escorted by Chris Caines. Maryis attendants were Jayme Stommel and Jennifer Barker. The Winter Formal was held at Camp Virgil Tate. Jayme Stommel was crowned Snow Queen. Monica Raether and Krista Hannas were her attendants. We selected as our class flower, red rose and babyls breath; our class song, ilFreebird"; and class motto, llFar away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead? a Louisa May Alcott. Our Baccalaureate was held on May 27, and we graduated from Nitro High School on May 28, 1981, at the Charleston Civic Center. New horizons will open for each of us, but they will always be colored by those school days which are now memories A ovAw -. . , -l , 77 . , l w Hi . .Ti '. . II . Kelly Dotson, r.

Coaches Corner The 1981 football season was rewarding in that we started the season with very little experience returning, but continued to improve each week We ended the season by winning three out 01" the last four games,inc1uding 22-15 win over undefeated Poca in the Final game, to finish the season with a 5-5 record. We were very pleased to have good team leadership from our seniors, headed by captains Mike Payne and Dave Kirby. This group ofscniors will be missed tremendously next year. As usual. our defense played very well and was one of the leaders of the K.V.C. Our leading tackle was John McLane. Also, Mike Payne was outstanding on defense and was rewarded by making 2nd team A11-State as a defensive back. Looking forward to next yearis team presents a challenge to our players. We have only Five regulars returning out of twenty-two positions, but our players have good attitudes and are dedicated. With their desire and with the determination and hard work of our coaching staff we are looking forward to next season. Coach Pat Vance Head Football Coach 1980-81 91 92 PAWPOWER .. 5 ON THE FIELD ,-. DJ 89511.4; . The team gets psyched and prepared to win. Ronnie Harrison makes the block so that Mike Payne can go for it. A common sight at Underwood Field; our opponents being picked up off the ground. Mike thtish Payne goes for more yardage as the Bulldogs warily eye him. Super sophomore stand out, Johnny Johnson hFlashesh down the field. Coach Carney explains his strategy to Mark hHenry" Sturgeon. 1980-81 Football Coaching Staff: Steve Stoffel, Pat Vance, Larry Estep, Greg Cyrus, Tom Chaney, and Bernie Carney. e311: h r 93 SENIOR F OOTBALL TEAM M EM BERS Front Row: Manager Kcnnic Bass Kurt Tauschcr John Mcl anc Chuck chrular; Kcn WhIltIngton,'Todd Paulcyz; Scott McClanuhan Mike Payne.

The team did well, although we did not win a meet. We did have a number of runners qualify for trophies. The group of runners this year was a good group to work with. They tried very hard and were successful in many ways. The team was lead by an outstanding runner, Scott J ackson. Scott was dedicated and did a good job at being team captain. The other runners that competed 96 were David Hamilton, Gretchen Hall, Flo Synder, Robin Taylor, Jeff Fisher, Ivan Parsons, and Jeff Wiegert. IN Coachls Comment: A This years team had a very productive season. We were able to win the first regional game in the short lived history of Nitrols Girls Basketball with a 39-34 S victory of Stonewall Jackson. Ild like to recognize the seniors who played a major part in our success: Laura Dabney, Lisa Hall, Colleen Huff, Libby King, Susan K Hutton, and Tracy Williamson, and to them more suc- cess in the future. I feel the program is improving and that Nitrols Girls Basketball team will gain respect E and attention from other teams and coaches.

After being predicted to win only 3 to 5 games dur- ing the winter basketball campaign, the Nitro Wildcats surprised quite a few people by finishing with a lO-IO regular season record. This record wasnit too pleasing for Coach McClanahan, but he did admit that this years team did surprise him. There were a few highlights to the season that ex- cited Wildcat fans. First of all, the Cats were rated in the top 20 in the state of W.V. early in the season for the first time since 1969. We defeated Charleston High for the first time since 1958. We swept both games from rival George Washington. As far as individual achievements were concerned, Jeff Fisher closed out a sparkling career here at NHS. Jeff broke the individual one game scoring record by ripping the nets for 49 points against Poca in a l03-69 rout of the Dotst The previous record was held by Bud Stone, 21 1956 graduate with 43 points. Jeff was also named to the 151 team ALLeKVC basketball team. Coach McClanahan 100 Opponent Herbert Hoover 36 Dupont 45 Charleston 43 S. Charleston 90 Geo.

But with hard work we all joined together to form the 1980-81 edition ofthc Wildcat Band. Our hard work paid off because we received many honors at the Majorelte Festival. Our boy and girl twirlers placed second and third respec- tively and for the first time in many years the band won :1 second place playing trophy for its performance. For over-all point total the Wildcat Band was named Second Runncr-up to Grand Champions. The latter half of the year was also profitable for the band. At the All-Statc Music Festival in Morgantown, Nitro was represented with six members in the All-Stute Band, ranking second in the State, Five members of the Wildcat Band participated in the Solo and Ensemble Festival with all receiving honors for their auditions. The County Festival started with ratings on Thursday, April 9. We received one superior rating and one excellent rating. The festival came to an end with Nitro being represented with nine members in the All- County Band followed by a parade on Saturday. The highlight of the year was the selection of Tim Rhodes to represent West Virginia in the John Phillip Sousa National Honors Band. Members were chosen from across the nation. Our year concluded with our Spring Concert on May 14. It proved to be one of the best ever, MR. 81 MISS BAND Chip Guffey and Kim Rayburn .ted L-R: Sharon Parker, Reporter; Tim Stern, President.

The Junior class did a wonderful job of creating a TTtropical paradise? There were palm trees, flowers, and seashells abounding. The music was provided by tTTop Flitef who proved to hold more at- tention than Kenny Rogers in the next room. A wonder- ful time was had by all. .5 ttFreebirdT finds its place in TTTropical Paradise." 5:? Wdre going to dance the night away! 'TDarling, save the last dance for me? ' :34 2 , - a . V 1464; .

The times have been ofjoy and love, for sorrow and for tears. We cannot stand here forever. as much as we may desire, for we must move on in another direction to the great things we are to acquire. We can choose our destiny like the free bird that flies above. We can spread our wings to any height, for God has given us the space to grow, to achieve, and to love. The beauty of the divine red rose can only begin to symbolize the memories that have blossomed from these things - so loving, strong, and wise. We must believe in this, and believe in ourselves forever, for we have made it this far. . . and we have made it together. jamie beth gates lt22t81 XME .l E . EEEEEWEEWEEE .EEEaa . . . x.
