l 5' ' piritz To have or not to have! Spirit Week 1 988: sheets and men's underwear, con- cert T-Shirts and Islander Wear, and the traditional Or- ange and Black. Unfortunately the tradition of having spirit during spirit week was not carried through this year. There was an especially poor turn out for most of the days, except for Islander Day. The week started with Toga Day on Monday. This was the most disappointing day of all. Not one toga was seen at HHS. Sophomore Karry Hegwood said, I thought that Toga Day was a neat ideal I really wanted to dress up, it was very disappointing . , . maybe next year. On Tuesday, many girls and a few guys showed their school spirit on Boxer Shorts Day. Some students thought that this was a neat idea, while others found the idea of wearing men's underwearto be humorous. Junior Lynne Truesdale said, Boxer Shorts Day was fun, no wait, l mean fun-ny. Just thinking about all those girls wearing men's underwear makes me laugh. Concert T-Shirt Day on Wednesday didn't have very many participants either. lt was more-or-less like any other ordinary day. Concert T-shirts are seen regularly at HHS, students felt that having a special day to wear them was unnecessary. Sophomore Gina Pickerell said, The turnout for Concert T-shirt day was very upsetting. About the same number of T-shirts were seen that day as any other day. Unfortunately I lack such a possession and so such a day was meaningless to me. Finally the awaited day came, Islander Day. This day was filled with lots of spirit and had by far the most par- ticipants. The day began with the poster contest. Halls were decorated with many spirit posters, but the bridge, decorated by the senior class, had the most decorations. The seniors won the contest again this year. For the freshman the spirit week experience was new and exciting. Freshman Tyler Michel said, lt was cool to see almost every student dressed up in Islander clothes and then at the game against Grand Island that night. All of the stands were full. The game had a good start, but we slowed down early in the second half and lost. Friday ended spirit week with Orange and Black Day. As one scanned the halls, minimal amounts of or- ange and black were seen. Senior Dan Bowlds said, Orange and Black day was disappointing. Everyone was willing to dress up in Islander colors and clothes, but they didn't want to dress up in our school colors and support HHS. Krista Kerns in Dressed in Islander attire the Boys' Varsity Basketball Cheerleaders senior Roxle Swift junior Tiffany Mooers sophomore Amanda Danlco, and junior Beth Oltean lead Tiger spirit with one of their many cheers. 1 Bare legs and men 's underwear were seen all over campus on Tuesday dur- Spirit Week ing Boxer Shorts Day.

Signs of Making Rock and Roll Revives Fair Step right up to the Adams County Fair! Those who did were not disappointed, The im- proved mid-way and the musi- cal entertainment attracted many people.The size ofthe fair was increased a lot in 1987, There were many more rides to ride and more games to play. The concerts were a welcome event to fair-goers also. There was something for everyone. The Jets were probably the most popularamong high school students. The Jets concert was the best concert that I have been to in a long time, said sophomore Brenda Kulhanek. Some people didn't know what to expect from the Jets based on the entertainment from previous years. Junior Kim Thomsen stated, I didn't think the concert would be that good, but after about fifteen minutes of their music I really got into it. Jan and Dean, another group who performed at the V65 fair, were a surprise hit with teenagers. Their oldies were not only liked by the older genera- tions but with the younger ones as well. Freshman Amy Waddle said, Since they were perform- ers from the sixties I didn't think it would be very good, but I was surprised at how much I liked it. I recognized a lot of the songs that the Beach Boys had sung also. People of all ages found that the 1987 Adams County Fair had been improved a great deal and was a lot more exciting. As senior Angie Carver plainly put it, It was a lot of fun. Whats NSI ? A nerd camp? Dear Mom, Dad, and Andrew, Hello! How's everything in good ol' Hastings? NSI is great! I can't believe all of the people here- Q99 almost seniors! Most of them are friendly- some rather strange- but overall it's ok. The first night was exceptionally exciting. William Kloefkorn, the Nebraska State Poet, gave the opening intro- duction. What a card! After that assembly, I knew I was in for a real treat. In the mornings, we split up into our chosen areas, either MathfScience, Social Science, Integrated Arts, or Literature! Journalism. I chose Social Sciences, mainly because l can't sing, dance, or sculpt, I am horrible at Math and Science Cjust ask my high school teachers? and Journalism is not for me, so that's all that was left. It turned out to be very interesting. I learned how to be a rebel in culture CMom, don't have a coronary, I didn't get arrestedb, about ourjudicial system, and a psycholo- gist talked to us about- well anything Cyou know how well your money was spentb. The afternoons consisted of a variety of seminars, Renais- sance Art, Have You Ever Wanted To Spank Your Parents, and 4Mom, you'II love this one? Sex Through History! That was the best! Oh- we also learned how to give massages, manage stress, and write a college application! Everyone looked foreward to the evening activities. We attended a Jazz concert, the students and faculty each had a talent show Ulm and Tammy Bakker were the hosts at the facul- ty showlb Firesides were also very interesting. We just went from place to place and people talked about a variety of things like a Psychoanalytical Look At Fairytales Cthat one blew my mind!! or a World In Conflict, or Love Poems by Bill Kloefkorn. Oh- how could I forget the Flatwater Festival? Almost 70-80 thousand people from everywhere attended it. We wound up the two weeks with a semi-formal banquet and dance. It was real special. Well, I'd better go now. One more thing though- if you ever get the chance to attend NSI Andrew, my favorite broth- er, do it! It was an experience I'lI never forget. Say 'hi' to every- one for me. Lots of Love, Melissa P.S. The food was really bad so we ate out a lot, which means I have no money left. Chint, hint? Thanks! ii:-11-u-ni Summer Mag
