The spirit of being a Scrapper, the pride of being a senior, the realization of their last homecoming. All of these are evident on the faces of the senior class as they cheer on the Scrappers at the homecoming pep rally. The Scrappers were the victors over the Horatio Lions 42-0 with Queen Ann Sanders reigning over her court. Student life:)2J2$you Homecoming ... Jr. Play ... Weekends . .. Fund Raisers .. . Jobs . .. Pep Rallies . . . County Fair ... Junior Senior Banquet. Do these sound like typical aspects of an ordinary year for a student? Life at NHS didn’t just include going to this class and that class. The many activities that a student participated in all come together to constitute the learning process. What do you expect when these events run through your mind? Think twice. Take a closer look at these typical things: The beauty of Homecoming, the nervousness of the opening of the junior play, the fun at the fair, the reluctance of graduation. What did you expect? What did you get? ]Ty Student life 7

raas ana iancies Blue aliens from down under Almost any answer could be expected to the question, ‘‘What's your favorite thing?” Answers always varied since no one kept the same favorite things year after year, or sometimes even from day to day. What decided a student’s choices for favorite things often depended on what was currently considered “hot.” Favorite things could be anything from movies to people. A new idol for many students came in the unlikely form of a short, wrinkled, blue-eyed alien named E.T. Students voted E.T. as their favorite movie, and soon the extra-terrestrial could be seen on T-shirts, shoelaces, and notebooks; and stores quickly sold out of the stuffed versions of E.T. English instructor Mrs. Neva Byrd spoke highly of the movie. Not being a movie buff, I would never have gone to see E.T. had it not been recommended by another non-movie buff. What a rewarding experience it was! Spirituality and science fiction seem an unlikely mix, but E.T. pulls it off beautifully. All over again, I feel how necessary it is to ‘phone home.”’ New trends in music influenced students in record buying. New wave and punk developed as ways of life for some, not just music styles. Students could be seen sporting hairstyles and clothing fashioned after popular musicians. A new wave group from Australia was a favorite of many students, and Men at Work’s single “Down Under” hit the top of the charts. A lot of students were still listening to rock ‘n’ roll, however. Former Eagle Don Henley’s “Dirty Laundry” tied with “Down Under” for favorite song. Other pursuits during leisure time included hobbies, sports and video games. Students participated in a wide variety of hobbies. Hunting was most often named for boys, and both girls and boys enjoyed sports. Football was the favorite sport for boys and girls alike. Students enjoyed watching the game as well as playing it. Stacy White said, “Girls like to watch their boyfriends out on the field playing and the games are a good place to see people.” Pac Man was the favorite video game. Allen Arnold said that girls liked the game as much as boys “because they both eat a lot.” Night-time soap operas became even more popular. Most students could be found Wednesday nights watching “Dynasty.” Students named English as their favorite class, and Of Mice and Men was their favorite book. There were almost as many choices for places and people as there were students. Most students chose someplace in Nashville, whether it be home or a hang-out. Almost everyone had a special friend who was his favorite person. Actors and actresses were popular choices, also. One of the girls’ favorite persons was Sylvester Stallone, but the boys preferred Clint Eastwood. Girls and boys agreed on their choices of foods and colors. Students ate a lot of pizza, and blue was the favorite color. There were many preferred shades of blue, ranging from baby blue, powder blue, and sky blue to navy blue, midnight blue, and dark metallic blue. A lot of different opinions were expressed in choosing favorites, showing the diversity of students’ tastes. There was usually something to please everyone though, and students never had to look hard for favorite things. jT 8 Stud«nt lift
