Leaving Our Touch On NHS Just looking at the students one could see their true colors, purple, gold and white! The students had a great amount of pride, respect, and enthusi- asm for their school and the activities included and associated with it. It was a spirit-filled year. There seemed to be a closeness be- tween the people of this 1990 class. They learned from each other and were proud of the relationships and goals that they established. The stu- dents were a close-knit family, and will continue to be even after they sep- arate into the various schools. Cheerleading, sports, and other activi- ties helped the students to grow and learn.

The students are leaving Nova with a lot more than just a good reputation; they are leaving the school with new activities and clubs that Nova didn ' t have when the year began.

Activities Activities provide a chance to break away from intellectual pursuits and allow time for some fun. A few of these activi- ties were school dances, the powder-puff football game, the Just Say No club, and fund raisers, such as magazine sales. A new activity to Nova was Leadership Day. The purpose of Leadership Day was to help students develop leadership skills and to try and help students to feel more confident about themselves. It also enables teachers to have a chance to experiment with fun teaching strategies, said Mr. Martin, and it helps students to see adults in a defferent way. Leadership Day is an activity which is definitely making waves and shall for years to come. Scholastic activities, however, were not the only activities to which students were drawn. Many sought personal en- tertainment outside of Nova. Whatever activities were chosen, waves were made in an individual way. 1.
