The word academics” represented all kinds of activities at Ni- tro High School during the 1986-87 school year. A great tree with many limbs would have been the best way to describe academics at Nitro High. Each individual limb held a branch in the development and nurture of the students which form- ed the roots to a prosperous future. A large limb with many branches, that grew at a rapid rate, rep- resented mathematics at Nitro. All kinds of courses from general math to advanced placement calculus formed this ever intriguing and necessary portion of a great tree. A full limb with many healthy leaves represented the English Department at Nitro. Average and advanced English. Creative Writ- ing. and the ever-loved Classic Literature” developed this well rounded limb into an outstanding branch of a great tree. Science on this great tree formed a bright, brilliantly colored limb full of never-ending fruit. Experiments, formulas, and an in- teresting teacher made these classes an unforgettable experience full of discovery. The oldest branch on this great tree was formed by the history and social sciences department. People, places, and events, from the beginning of time to modern day affairs, were split into all kinds of classes to be a lasting reminder of an age old past. Academics will always remain a major part of Nitro High. 24
