Typical? Hardly! 8:10 A.M. The buzzer signals the start of another “routine day of classes. Five minutes later another buzzer sounds and it’s time to get settled, as the teachers read the bulletin and take roll. The classes go down one by one until lunch. 12:10 P.M. A buzzer sounds to begin a 45 minute break to eat or have organization meetings, then it’s time to begin the home stretch - only two hours to go! 2:57 P.M. The final buzzer sounds, books are thrown into lockers and a “typical day has ended. But was it typical? Or did we find something different during those routine days? Maybe there was something that didn't quite fit the mold, something out of the ordinary, something — beyond description, (oont. page 4) The Scrapper craeh through the Homeoomlng run-through poeter aa they begin their onalaught on Ashdown.

Different? Definitely! Not every school could say that it had four exchange students to add character to its school, or say that its AA football team had defeated a AAAA football team which was ranked sixth in the state at the time. The building at Nashville High was also quite different from most schools. On cold days the open hallways caused students a lot of rushing between classes, because they had to spend extra time putting on and taking off their coats. Most schools could not say that their walls were all painted mint green and their halls bright orange. The orange gates, which kept intruders out at night, also served as a conversation piece for the Nashville High students. Although the gates were never locked during school hours, the students claimed that they served as prison bars to help enforce the closed campus policy. Some of the more ordinary (?) events which students participated in consisted of traditional banquets, plays, and parades. Homecoming was one of those plain (?) occasions which contained much sentiment. Queen Ann McAdams reigned over the homecoming festivities as proudly as a real queen would reign over her country. Tears, excitement, beautiful dresses, and flushed faces all added to the glamor of the 1981 Homecoming. The participants of the customary (?) Howard County Fair Parade included: the fair queen Kelley Lovelis, the senior class, the cheerleaders, the Scrapper band and members of the county 4-H clubs. The uneventful (?) Christmas parade was conducted at night and was very pleasing to the eyes because of the many different lights.(cont. page 7) The senior band members receive their band jackets from Band Booster President.
