Seniors Win Spirit Week The week preceeding the 1985-86 Homecoming game against the Patriots of George Washington was known as Spirit Week. The week was set aside as a time for NHS students to dress-up for the various days to show their support for the team and to win points for their class. Students and teachers alike dressed up for a variety of days which included: Monday - Beach day; Tuesday - Class color day; Wednesday - Nerd Day; Thursday - Comfy Day; and the week ended with Friday which was the traditional Red and Black Day. On the Friday before the big game, a pep assembly was held so we could show our support for the team. It was announced that seniors had won Spirit Week for having the most people dressed up during the week. Although we lost the game against G.W., Spirit Week was a great break from normal school activities and we all had a lot of fun. 26

Special Dinners at Nitro For the 85-86 school year at Nitro High School, the students helped to prepare several dinners for groups such as Senior Citizens, PAC, and many other occa- sions. The dinners were only a small part of the students pulling together for a worthy cause. Many hours of planning and hard work went into these dinners. The dinners were appreciated by everyone. The dinners have been a long standing tradition here at Nitro and will hopefully be continued for many more years to come. The Senior Citizens' dinner was given at Thanksgiving, and all the seniors citizens in the Nitro area were invited to attend. The PAC dinners were given in January and the parents discussed issues for the new school year. The dinners were a pleasant and comfortable occasion for everyone. It made for a relaxed atmosphere, and a good time for all. Mrs. Fortner sets up for the alumni dinner. The PAC dinner looked enjoyable. Mr. McClanahan raps with faculty. The cross-country banquet was held at Andrew Jackson. Sis Billings assisted in senior citizens dinner.
