Scrapper 1 2 Opening Scrapbook: The NHS Scrap Book. What’s so special about a scrap book? Okay, so it’s a high school scrap book, but what’s so special about that? It’s the Nashville High School Scrap Book, and that’s special. Scrap books are for memories, and students made many special memories. They proved once again that they were very special people. They made outstanding scores at marching, cheerleading, and various agriculture contests. They proved their worth during football season by becoming district champions and making the state playoffs. Homecoming was another special event for special students. They dressed as nerds during part of the homecoming activities and observed the traditional dress-up day near the end of the week. Homecoming ceremonies were carried out the following day. The annual Honor Society inductions recognized many students for their academic achievements and leadership qualities. Another special event was the Close-up trip. Several students traveled along with Mrs. Jan Ponder to Washington, D.C., to (corn, on page 4) ART STUDENT Anita Lofton works on one of her projects.

They were guests at the Murfreesboro junior play and a presentation of Great Expectations at the Perot Theatre in Texarkana. Banquets provided students with opportunities to prove that they were special. Juniors showed their creativeness and talent at the Junior-Senior Banquet. Band members and football players were honored with awards at their respective banquets. All of these special events and special people meant a great deal to the students of Nashville High. Hopefully, in future years, this scrap book will be treasured and will serve as a medium for many special memories.

Well, there was more than just going to class and going home. Students found ways of making classes interesting through projects and class activities. Even studying for a test could make a special memory. American history students gathered through the year for “cram sessions” before their major tests. The Scrap Book is loaded with special memories in the students’ lives. Only at NHS could students turn normal events into unique and exciting experiences. «� =.

It was one of the most fun and memorable times of my life,” said Queen Sissi Davis. Homecoming week, Oct.22-25, was filled with lots of fun activities. Tuesday started the week with warm-up day. Wednesday was nerd day. Nerd of the day was chosen by teachers and students. Bryan Westbrook received first place, Kristi Porterfield was second, and Carlette Jef- ferson was third. The week continued on Thursday as dress-up day and a candlelight dinner at lunch. To end the week Friday was the traditional orange and black day. Sophomore class maid Jennifer Hill said, “I was shocked to get class maid. 1 was also very excited because Friday, the 25th, was my sixteenth birthday. It was a great birthday gift.” Com. on page 10.

In 1931 Katie Woodruff was a queen at NI1S; there is no proof, though, that she was a homecoming queen. Faustine Mulkey Hill was homecoming queen in 1932. There haven’t been that many changes. Katie Darling Wesche, who was maid-of-honor in 1958, said the only major change was the boys walked the girls at the evening on the field as well as in the afternoon ceremony. Former royalty members were honored at a reception following the homecoming pep rally. r- ' BEFORE THE pep rally.

Big shirts, brooches, baroque, paisleys, stirrup pants and even swatches and other new watches were in. With so many things to choose from, it wasn’t that hard to be in style. It seemed as though being original was more in style than ever before. Creative outfits could be seen every day in class and in the courtyard. Some were a little outrageous; others were not so bold. Kristi Porterfield, a senior, said, “The styles of today are basically a combination of styles from previous years, and there’s no set dress code of style. You just do what you feel.” Drop waist dresses and mini-skirts were just two examples of styles brought back from the past. Sophomore Kellie Mor-phew felt that a student didn’t have to spend much money on clothes; he or she could dress neatly and be himself. SHERRI SHARP models an oulfil in the latest style.

For most people it couldn’t, but for CloseUp participants it did. Mrs. Jan Fonder, Holly Garney, Sissi Davis and Dion-drea Starr went to Washington for a “fun but also educational week” in late January. Every day included seminars and workshops with a small amount of time for sight seeing. The lectures were mostly about bills being debated by Congress, with the most popular being the Gramm-Rudman deficit reduction bill. There were two programs — one for teachers and one for students. Mrs. Ponder went on the student program at first because “this was my first time to go, and it was more sight seeing than the 7 am in Washington, D. C. ’ Diondrea Starr teacher one, which was more lectures.” Mrs. Ponder was with a group in Rep. John Paul Hammerschmidt’s office when he received news about the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger Jan. 28. “It was so dramatic. The look on his face as he read the note and then him telling us. It was the fact we were there, and we didn’t just hear about it on the street.” Mrs. Ponder got to meet and shake hands with the Rev. Jesse Jackson. “We were leaving the Rayburn Building and there he was! I walked up to him, introduced myself and told him where I was from. He said, ‘I’d love to talk, but 1 have to hurry.’ It was great.” Another high point for Mrs. Ponder was visiting the National Gallery of Art. “There I were so many originals. I guess it was special to me because I teach an art unit.” Mrs. Ponder hoped to form a year-round CloseUp organization. She planned to begin raising money to help students not financially able to go otherwise. “I would like for everyone to go,” she said. “The week was beautiful.” The students who went had similar attitudes about the trip. Holly, a senior, enjoyed the week tremendously. She visited many historic monuments, including the Jefferson and Lincoln Memorials, and attended a few government workshops. She also spoke to Arkansas’s senators and representatives, and even had time to go shopping. Her favorite part of the trip was viewing the Iwo Jima memorial at night. “It was really touching, since the flag was being flown at half-staff in honor of the seven space shuttle astronauts,” she said. “It was really beautiful.” Sissi said the trip was “a great opportunity. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in our country’s government,” Sissi said. This was Sissi’s second trip to Washington with the CloseUp program. She said she learned some new things this time and enjoyed it even more. “My favorite seminar was the one on peace,” Sissi said. The speaker “said a lot of things I could relate to. I think it is important for us to become involved in our country’s government.” The meaning of the visit to the historic city hit Diondrea as soon as she arrived. She said her first thought was, “I am in Washington, D.C.” As the week progressed, Diondrea went on several bus tours, the “most exciting event of the whole trip.” On these tours she saw the Washington Monument, the White House, the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Institution, the Lincoln Memorial and the Capitol. 14 Student life HOLLY CARNEY AND Sissi Davis pause for a picture during their trip.

Students show colors in talent shows two events gave students the chance to _______watch their friends perform: the talent show Feb. 28 and the spring concert May 9. In the talent show, Christy Freel and John Young placed third with a duet; Chris Flockaday captured second place with a piano solo; and Yolanda Coulter took the grand prize with her solo performance of “Truly.” Yolanda decided to sing her solo the night before the talent show. “1 had no practice before the day of the talent show,” Yolanda said, “and I really didn’t expect to win anything.” There was a comical act done by Glen Lovewell and Shannon Blanchard. They dressed up like women and sang “Where’s the Dress?” Junior and senior high students attended the spring concert, which ranged from dancing to singing. The cheerleaders started it off with a dance to “Conga” by the Miami Sound Machine. Many songs were country, such as Robert Goodson singing some of George Strait’s hits and Christi and Malloy Freel’s “Mama, He’s Crazy” by the Judds, while others were Deborah Collier, Shelly Tate and Susan Hubbard’s Pointer Sisters song “I Need You.” a 16 Student life DOING THEIR imitation of the Pointer Sisters are Yolanda Coulter, Jennifer Hill and Ann Martindale.

He worked eight or nine hours a week at Nashville Medical Service. Steven did not feel his job affected his studies because he did not work many hours. Jim Pinson, who worked at BigT, enjoyed the spending money lie earned. He used the money for weekends and for buying clothes. “I enjoy my job because I like to work with people.” Nashville Drug employee Jeff Bissell worked 2Vi hours each day after school and all day Saturday. “I work at Nashville Drug because I am interested in becoming a pharmacist, and this gives me a chance to see what it it like.” Jeff spent most of his money on clothes. For Lynn Moore, “My job gives me a chance to get out of the house and also some extra spending money.” Lynn worked at Charlie’s Thriftway and felt his job did not interfere with his classes because he did not work very long each day. r 18 Student life JEFF BISSELL fills up the Coke machine al Nashville Drug.

These were a few of the behind-the-scenes jokes of the junior play Time Out for Ginger. “It was a lot of work, but it was worth it and it was a lot of fun,” said Pat Venable. Yolanda Coulter felt it was a good experience. “I loved it; I would do it all over again. It makes me want to try out for another play,” she said.

Kim Cowling and Dinah Hallmark were in charge of make-up. Kim said,“It was so hectic. All at once there were three people to do — one needed to look 60 years old, another 40 and one 18. It was great though.” Prompters played a major role as in all plays. Nhu Nguyen and Annette Parson held these parts. Nhu thought it was funny when someone messed up but got real mad when they were so far off or skipped a lot of lines and she got lost. “I would be a prompter again, though,” she said. All three sponsors said the play went great. Mrs. Karan Hughes said, “I had a great time working with the kids. We’re jinxed by the weather which affected our crowd. I wish we could have had a better turnout.” (It poured rain the night of the play as well as the night of the class chili supper.) “I was impressed with how everyone knew their lines and so early, especially the people who had a lot of lines,” said Mrs. Deb Tackett. Mrs. Nona Talley said, “The kids were great. The play was great. Everything just went great. s 26 Student life THE CAST includes (front row) sponsor Mrs. Deb Tackett, Nhu Nguyen, Janet Peak.

In the two weeks before the performance, the cast worked each night from 6:30 until about 10 o’clock to get ready. Practice April 4 ended abruptly when the tornado siren sounded. Everyone took off quickly, leaving behind play books, shoes, keys and other items which were later retrieved. “It was great,” Sherri Sharp said of being part of the cast. “I enjoyed working on the play with all my classmates and friends.” For Chris Hockaday, there was more to the play than just memorizing lines. He decided to repaint the backdrop and found some help from others in the cast.

With the help of 10 sophomores and several juniors’ mothers, the meal was served. While everyone finished eating, Steven Myers appeared on stage and told the audience to sit back and enjoy the show. He told them to use their imagination and pretend that the year was 2006 and they were attending their 20-year reunion. Each of them had become a “star” and would receive recognition. Jane Pauley (Carla Cornish) welcomed the stars of the class of 1986. Since Kristi Porterfield was finally there, the show could begin. The first host and hostess of the evening were Molly Ringwald (Susan Hubbard) and Michael J. Fox (Ken Gregory). They presented awards in the fields of music, literature and fashion. During this segment of the show, entertainment was provided by Dionne Warwick (Yolanda Coulter) and Luther Van-dross (Charles Booher). For the second portion of the show, the host and hostess were Michael Leon alias Pete Jennings (Scott Bourns) and Joan Collins (Dinah Hallmark). They presented awards in the fields of business and science. During this portion of the show, special entertainment was provided by Annabelle Lee Liberace (Ann Martindale), and there was a special appearance by the Judds (Kim Hughes and Nhu Nguyen) inviting everyone to their next concert. Whitney Houston (Yolanda Coulter) and Nancy McKeon (Pat Venable) were the hostesses for the third segment of the show; they presented awards in the Fields of medicine and titles. The stand-up comedian Aubrey Q. Fliptop III (Bryan Westbrook) kept the audience entertained. Next the Rockin’ Crue (Dee Ragar, Rhonda Goss, Robyn Chism, Ann Martindale and Kim Hughes) made an appearance; they were asked if they would always be bucketheads. For the last portion of the show, the host and hostess were Tom Cruise (Steven Myers) and Liza Minnelli (Kim Cowling). They presented awards that were achievements and the ones that didn’t fall into any category. The Scrapper Pride Shufflers (Greg Sharp, Scott Bourns, Randy Ganous, Hayden Worthington, Charles Vaughn, Darryl Williams, and John Paul Jamison) performed, and Ro-seanna Roseanna Danna (Dinah Hallmark) gave a special news bulletin. Jane Pauley thanked everyone for being there and reminded the seniors that to be stars, the sky was the limit. There was then a slide show of the seniors, while the song “That’s What Friends Are For” by Dionne and Company played. To end the “Night of Stars,” everyone stood and sang the Alma Mater.

Junior-Senior Banquet 31 bits and Fairs and Fun The Southwest Arkansas Arts and Crafts Fair began Friday, Oct. 11 and continued through Oct. 13. There were several new attractions at the fair. One of them was plastered dogs. It took three years to make the mold. Mr. Jerry Whipple, owner of 900 stores in Arkansas, had been selling these dogs and other gifts for more than 15 years. Another new attraction was a handmade knives display. Roger Echols attended a knife-making seminar in Old Washington before he became a professional knife maker. One of the yearly displays at the fair was face painting. Karen and Kathleen Gregory had been doing this for four years. They adapted the idea from other craft fairs. While thinking of a good topic to write about, a piece of paper. Toyia Ray searches for Exercise of the Mind “A person’s creativity peaks at age six, and from there, it’s downhill. This class is an attempt to open up the creative passages again,” said Mrs. Jan Ponder, teacher of the Creative Writing class, which encouraged seniors’ free flow of ideas and creativity. There were no textbooks, so Mrs. Ponder was left to come up with writing ideas on her own. They usually came from books that she read, or workshops she attended. A good paper, according to Mrs. Ponder, was one that was creative or had a new idea. Emphasis was not on a grammatically correct paper. but on originality and style. How did the students feel about the class? They loved it. “It’s the only class I have fun in,” said Deano Norswor-thy, “and I really enjoy writing.” Kristi Porterfield said, “I really love this class. I learn a ‘It’s the only class I have fun in.’ Deano Norsworthy lot, and it’s good exercise for your mind.” But perhaps Toyia Ray summed it up best: “There’s no right or wrong; you just do your own thing.” 32 Student life Farewell to “When you realize that your class understands and comprehends something you | teach — that’s been one of my favorite things about teaching,” said Mrs. Neva Byrd. After 27 years of teaching French and English, she retired at the end of May. Although she said she en-yed her job, Mrs. Byrd riginally didn’t plan on inching. When she first mov-to Nashville, she was work-g as a secretary. The schools were trying to c accredited by North Cen-ral, and they needed a ■joreign language teacher. : “I didn’t know who found lut that 1 was certified to .each French, and 1 still don’t know to this day. My first reaction was ‘NO,’ but my ■ oldest son was planning on at-j) tending a private college, and , I felt as if I needed to help pay for it.” Mrs. Byrd planned on retiring after her first son com- Mrs. Byrd pleted college, but by then her second son had decided to attend a private college. Later her husband died. “1 really wasn’t sure what to do, so 1 just kept teaching,” she recalled. Mrs. Byrd’s main joy from teaching could be found “when students come back to me later and say that 1 really helped them. That’s a nice reward.” But there are some things Mrs. Byrd didn’t like about teaching. “I don’t like making out tests and giving grades. I’d rather just teach.” Mrs. Byrd noticed some differences in the kids she first taught and the ones she taught as she was preparing to retire. “Kids are less disciplined now, and it all goes back to the home. It’s the home that expects a child to do well. Kids are less mannered now,” she said. When asked if she was glad After opening her presents. Mrs. Nevo Byrd thanks her French Club and Honor Society students. she went into teaching, Mrs. Byrd replied, “It’s kind of hard, being a teacher. If you were a ditch-digger, you could turn around and see what you have done. But being a teacher is kind of tough. Sometimes you feel like saying, ‘I haven’t done anything.’ But 1 have taught some people that I know I have helped, and life is richer when you know that.” Mrs. Byrd was an outstanding teacher. She taught a lot of people a lot of things, and students wrere sorry to see her go. Another step Mr. Danny Howard will be Nashville school superinten-tlent starting with the 1986-87 school year. He was hired for that position in late April after the resignation of Mr. Ken Turner. Mr. Howard said he felt good about becoming superintendent, and it was a job for which he had tried to prepare. Mr. Howard’s main objective was to implement new standards and raise academic quality. He said he would work to the best of his ability and continue to make the school progressive. Before coming to Nashville, Mr. Howard work- ed in Benton as a science teacher, junior high coach and high school coach. He was also an assistant Nashville coach before becoming principal in 1976. Mr. Howard was “apprehensive” about the job. He said he would miss working so closely with the students and teachers. ‘I’ll be sad to see him leave junior high.’ Emma Smith Junior high secretary Mrs. Emma Smith said, “I have mixed emotions. I am glad for him and the school system as a whole, but I’ll be sad to see him leave junior high.” bits and pieces 33 Governor’s Choice The T-shirts said it was an“intellectua! Disneyland.” One Nashville student compared it to Brook harm. And despite the name, those who attended were told it was not a school for those learning how to be governor. Arkansas Governor’s School at Hendrix College in Conway attracted about 400 of the state’s top seniors-to-be June 16-July 24. For the first time, two Nashville students — Marilyn Rose and John Webb — were ‘intellectual Disneyland’ among those who attended. Both came back more willing to listen to other people’s ideas, and they described Governor’s School as a worthwhile experience. As a result, John said he would “see things a little differently when 1 go back to school. 1 learned to reason better.” Marilyn expected to be “more open minded” when school resumed in August. “You get kind of tired of school, but Governor’s School refreshed me. It got me ready to go back [to high school]. I wish everybody could have gone.” Governor’s School consisted of three fields of study. Area One allowed the students to choose from among several different topics, such as natural science, music, English and art. Area Two dealt with issues such as morality and personal beliefs. “They were trying to get you to think about what you believe and why,” Marilyn said. Area Three included studies of psychology and emotions. “It was my favorite class,” Marilyn said. “I LEARNED more about people than things,” Marilyn said. “We learned to express ourselves and back up our ideas. ’ ’ The students were told to avoid attacking a person simply because they didn’t like his ideas. In addition to the classes, students had the opportunity to see a number of films, hear guest speakers, and take part in discussions about what they had seen or heard. MARILYN WAS in the natural science group. For the first three weeks she attended two classes in that section, logic and biological roots of behavior. Following a Fourth of July break, Marilyn’s two natural science classes dealt with nuclear war and cell biology. SOME OF the instructors said things they didn’t mean in order to get the students to think, Marilyn noted. “They said it to make you back up your beliefs.” This led to lively discussions in many of the classes. STUDENTS WERE required to attend several movies on Thursday nights, and they held discussions afterwards in their dormitories. One film which impressed Marilyn dealt with Nazi death camps. In the discussion of the movie, the students met a campus security guard who had been one of the American soldiers who helped free the prisoners. Another of the films was a movie version of Flannery O’Connor’s novel Wise Blood. “We had our best discussion on it,” Marilyn said. OF THE guest speakers, Marilyn’s favorite was Dr. Anthony Gregorc, who discussed the ways in which people learn. “He kept my attention the best, and his speech was an hour and 15 minutes long!” Another presentation which Marilyn enjoyed was by Barbara Dickinson, the wife of the science instructor, Sam Day. Dickinson gave a program on “Dance As a Form of Intellect,” which combined dance with music and poetry. “The choreography was great,” Marilyn said. MARILYN’S FAVORITE part of the school was the social life, she said. “It was so open. The last day, we were still meeting people.” When they weren’t in class, the students took part in sports tournaments and intramurals, enjoyed Hendrix’s recreational facilities, visited, and checked their mail. “The saddest thing was when there was mail for your boxmate but not for you. We started a no-mail club.” By the time the six weeks had ended, the students were “like one big family. We didn’t want to leave.” On the final night, everyone “got in a big circle, sang [a song entitled ‘Friends’], and started crying. We didn’t want to leave our friends.” JOHN COMPARED the school with a 19th century community which attracted some of the nation’s best-known writers. “Governor’s School is to us what Brook Farm was to the Transcendentalists,” John 34 Student life said. Brook Farm gave prominent writers the chance to get together and share ideas, just as the Governor’s School students were able to do. John described the school as “very open, very free” and said the students were friendly. NATURAL SCIENCE was John’s Area One class, just as it was for Marilyn. His first science class was chemistry of the environment, which dealt with chemical disasters, pesticides and insecticides. The second was biological roots of behavior. After the break, John attended the sessions on nuclear war. “It was shocking. We learned what would happen during the initial blast.” The group also had a laser presentation and heard a discussion of the “Star Wars” defense plan. For his last science class, John took the cell biology session. “It was the only thing that resembled what you get in high school,” he said. Classes began at 8:15 a.m. and lasted an hour and 15 minutes. ‘Governor’s School is to us what Brook Farm was to the Transcendentalists.’ John Webb IN THE Area Two groups, the students were presented a problem or an issue and discussed it. “We could attack the person’s opinion but not the person,” John said. “It was promoting critical thinking, being open minded, and listening carefully. “A coupleof times I wanted to get up and leave class,” John said, but “the whole idea was to arouse thinking. It was a thought school.” John said the discussions “made my beliefs stronger” by causing him to examine what he believed. DURING THEIR Area Three classes, the students learned to deal with other people. “They wanted us to open up. It was hard to open up to anonymous teachers and students, and it took a while.” GUEST SPEAKERS contributed to the students’ discussions. John said Gregorc was “one of the best we had. He was interesting. His explaining different types of people helped more in dealing with others than anyone else.” DURING HIS free lime, John played tennis and baseball and visited with friends. He made it to the quarterfinals of the school’s tennis tournament. The Hendrix campus was closed for the Governor’s School students, but there were many activities outside of class. John also noticed the lack of mail for some. “Going to the mailbox was the big event of the day. Some days you were very disappointed.” “A lot of good relationships were made there,” he said. John did not cry on the last night, but he “got real close.” John said the two main things he received from the school were learning to think more rationally and openly and learning to deal with others. ONE OF the most controversial aspects of Governor’s School was a lecture by prize-winning author Ellen Gilchrist of Fayetteville. She reportedly told the students it was “time to start ignoring your parents. Be really nice to them, and forget them. At the age you are now, it’s time to start using your stuff, your real stuff.” She also related an incident in which one of her children made a pair of pants of an American flag. Both John and Marilyn disagreed with portions of Gilchrist’s comments, but they defended her right to speak at the school. “I don’t think [her child] should have made a pair of pants of the flag,” Marilyn said, “but everybody took her too literally. She meant don’t do something just because [parents] said to. Be sure there’s a reason behind it. Parents usually have a reason. She should have been allowed to come. I wanted to see both sides of the story. It’s not fair to say she shouldn’t. Who’s lo say who’s to come?” John also disagreed with the flag story. “That’s unpatriotic,” he said. However, the rest of her idea “was good to a certain degree. What she had to say was [that] teenagers should think for themselves, but they should never ignore their parents’ advice.” John thought her speech needed “revising to where it doesn’t sound rebellious. It struck many as promoting rebellion. She wasn’t; she was promoting free thinking.” Marilyn Rose bits and pieces 35 SophomoroS'drsss os Romans oT a party during, tho spring.

Food was prepared by many of the students. Although it was the same kind of food eaten in the 1500s in England, the students seemed to enjoy it. The meal consisted of Chester cakes, devonshire squab pie, cream puff pastries, red beans with plum sauce, honey glazed ham with figs, croissants, and apple floren-tine pies. “It was harder to make than I thought it would be, but they turned out really good,” said Leah Reaves. Students were dressed to resemble clothing worn by the early Romans. They ended the night by watching a videotape of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, which they had recently studied. Dressed as Julius Caesar and Calpurnia are Allen Williams and Andrea Sweeden. 36 Student life Student Takes Business Trip A sophomore made a trip to Little Rock in April as part of a program designed to teach sophomores about business, education, govern-.ent, and the professions. Gwenda Williams was chosen to represent NHS at the two-day seminar. The Hugh O’Brian Youth Foundation sponsored the program, which has held state and international leadership seminars for sophomores since 1958. The event brought in many well-known speakers to visit with the students and teach them about American government and values. During the seminar, two students were chosen to represent Arkansas at the international seminar in Indianapolis. Gwenda Williams (right) was accompanied by Susan Hubbard. San Francisco Awaits Shopping Sickness Mr. Dennis Horn along with 18,000 other school administrators met at the Mosconi Convention Center in San Francisco in April. Four days were spent at meetings concerning school problems, nationwide programs for students, and other school topics. Guest speakers included former President Jimmy Students’ Different strokes for different folks was the old saying, and it was true — from movies to music. Gayla Wakefield, a sophomore, said her favorite movie was St. Elmo’s Fire. She especially liked the scenes with Rob Lowe. Marilyn Rose, a senior, said her favorite movie was Pee Wee Herman. She said it was so stupid that it was funny. Sophomore Jennifer Dale’s favorite song was “We Built This City” by Starship. Carter, O. J. Simpson, and Norman Vincent Peale. Administrators from 48 states attended. The meetings were over about 5 p.m. each day, leaving time for sight seeing. “1 saw Alcatraz, Fisherman’s Wharf...and, of course, the Golden Gate Bridge,” said Mr. Horn. Choices Friday was the favorite day of the week for junior Kim Peden because “that’s when the fun begins.” ‘That’s when the fun begins.’ Kim Peden Greg Sharp, however, said his favorite was Saturday because he could do the things he wanted to do. T-shirts, pins, bumper stickers and other items often displayed mottos such as “When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping” and “Born to shop.” These were the attitude shared by many students. Kristi Porterfield said, “The best way to get over a bad day is to do down and buy a new outfit.” The shopping spree was enjoyed by many. Some went for specific items, while others liked to look around and grab whatever caught their eye. Shannon Garris said, “I have found some of my favorite things when 1 really didn’t plan on getting anything at all.” Although hitting the sales was great, spur-of-the-moment purchases weren’t right for everyone. ‘I have found some of my favorite things when I really didn’t plan on get ting anything at ail.’ Shannon Garris Jennifer Hill felt she need ed time to make up her mind about most purchases. Be that as it may, most of the girls agreed that shopping was much more than a hobby; it was something of a pick-me-up. For the guys, many did not agree. Movies: Teaching Aid?

Chris Hockaday, John Webb, Marilyn Rose and Sissi Davis represented the school at those events. They learned how the government operated and were introduced to the political system. Sissi enjoyed making friends, while Marilyn liked visiting Little Rock for speeches by Gov. Bill Clinton and Sen. Dale Bumpers. Chris said the people were friendly, but he didn’t like getting up at 5:30 a.m. to exercise. John also enjoyed making friends and going to the assemblies. Delegates to Boys State and Girls State include (front row) Marilyn Rose, John Webb and Sissi Davis; (back row) alternate Todd Young and Chris Hockaday. Archaeological Newcomers Election Time Faculty members Mrs. Deb Tackett and Miss Tammy Elliot took a group of FHA members to the Federation 18 meeting Oct. 31 at Texarkana Community College. Nashville was the host of the meeting. Junior high presented the colors. Debra Collier, Janet Davis and Brenda Collier presented the talent part of the show by singing. New officers included Robyn Chism, president: and Kim Epton, third vice president. A candlelight ceremony was conducted to induct the new officers. After the meeting the members traveled down to the shopping mall to eat and shop for the afternoon. Summer wasn’t a time for complete rest. At the request of her aunt, Kristi Porterfield helped her and her uncle at the Archaeological Assignment. She worked for two months. After artifacts were removed from a site around Arkadelphia, Kristi’s work began. “1 really enjoy it — it’s a lot of fun,” said Sissi Davis, when asked what her feelings were on teaching gymnastics to children. Sissi began teaching last summer when a woman asked her to teach her daughter some basic gymnastics. Sissi agreed, and soon the word got around that she was giving gymnastics lessons. By the The artifacts were cleaned with soap, water, toothbrushes, and other similar brushes. They were later sorted. Some categories included flakes, arrowheads, pottery, and clumps. Kristi then placed the artifacts in bags and tagged them. The tags contained ID end of the year, Sissi was teaching 35 children, ranging in age from three to seven. The lessons were given in her basement and were held on Monday through Thursday. “1 teach them mainly the basic stunts, since they’re so young,” said Sissi. “Like stretching, forward rolls, and cartwheels.” numbers, location site, and other information. She then filed them. Kristi’s uncle wrote a report and sent it along with the artifacts to Oklahoma. There they were studied and distributed to museums. Kristi said she liked the work but, “I wouldn’t want to do it”- for a living. Sissi taught eight kids in Murfreesboro. The lessons ‘I teach them ... the basic stunts.’ Sissi Davis were held at the Timbers restaurant and lasted about 30 minutes. Teaching To Tumble 38 Student life Need More Room Work on four classrooms began in the fall. The rooms enclosed the courtyards in the main part of the building. Their construction was made possible by a seven-mill tax increase approved in the 1985 school election. Construction at high school was one of three building projects in the district. Mr. Dennis Horn, principal, said no other buildings would be added at high school. The construction was to be completed by the beginning of the 1986-87 school year. Other work was done in the summer. Two restrooms were added to the north end of the building. The library was remodeled, making the shelves and storage area bigger. Mrs. Norma Martin, librarian, and her husband Joe did much of the work, assisted by Mr. Arthur Baker. A ticket booth was built at Scrapper Stadium and was used for the first home game. Mrs. Norma Martin does her part in the remodeling of the library during her summer vocation ‘No-Pass, No-Play’ “I would be for the law if it was not as stringent a rule as it is in Texas,” Principal Dennis Horn said. “I think it would be better if an athletic director at each school could set up his own policy.” Mr. Horn was referring to Texas’ “no-pass, no-play” rule which prohibited students with failing grades from taking part in extracurricular activities. The law in Arkansas required students to pass three of their classes. Under the new educational standards which will come into effect in the 1987-88 school year, the number of classes a student must pass will be raised to four. The Nashville School Board voted last year to enact the rule requiring students to pass four classes before the deadline in 1987. I think enacting this law before it was mandatory shows that we emphasize academics first. Our emphasis on athletics and academics is just about right,” Mr. Horn said. “The students know academics come first and our coaches know this too. Athletes are watched closer than anybody else in school. They know if they get in trouble in class then they are going to be in trouble with Coach Segresl also.” bits and pieces 39 History Comes Alive Space Shuttle Disaster Stuns Students, Faculty “Being a science teacher made me think of all the time that went into it and how quickly it was all destroyed,” Mrs. Nona Talley said of the Jan. 28 space shuttle disaster. “1 feel 1 can relate to the teacher because I myself am a teacher and mother. It’s just hard to believe they are all gone.” Everyone was shocked by the explosion of the shuttle Challenger, which occurred about 10:40 a.m. Jan. 28. A presidential commission’s report indicated that the explosion was caused by faulty rings used to seal joints in the booster rockets. Principal Dennis Horn received the news from the administration building and announced it over the intercom fourth period. Despite the accident, many students and teachers felt the nation’s space program should continue. The reaction of most was summed up by Allen Williams: “This was a terrible tragedy, but a lot will be learned from this; and future shuttle missions will be safer.” Among the seven astronauts killed in the explosion was Christa McAuliffe, Old Center Point was the site for the Arkansas Ses-quicentennial celebration April 12. Almost 2,000 people attended, including many Arkansas political candidates. The county seat was transferred from Nashville to Center Point temporarily on April 11 and 12. Arts and crafts and flea market exhibits were set up in the town square, and area bands performed most of the day. Guests were given wagon rides touring historical homes and the cemetery. Home demonstration members served sandwiches and hamburgers at noon. The Howard County Cattlemen’s Association served barbeque late in the afternoon. Drinking water a high school teacher who was to be the nation’s first educator to travel in space.

Bill Clinton began the program, speaking on the Ses-quicentennial. After his speech. Dr. John L. Ferguson, state historian, discussed county and Center Point history. Former Gov. Orval Faubus delivered the speech Jeff Davis made at the same spot to begin his first successful gubernatorial campaign in 1900. Also on the schedule were Sen. Dale Bumpers and Rep. John Paul Hammerschmidt. Many students took part in the celebration, giving tours of the historic homes or performing with the musicians. “If 1 had been chosen, 1 would have gone,” she said. “I love the study of space, and 1 am a strong supporter of space exploration. The main reason that 1 did not send in my application was that I felt my own children needed me more than the space program did. When my children become independent, I would definitely go.” Flags in front of the building fly at half-staff in memory of the seven 'Challenger' astronauts. 40 Student life Christmas Observance for Vietnamese Students Fireworks exploded. Noel was being celebrated. This was Christmas for the Vietnamese. The Vietnamese who came to the United States left behind many customs and took on new ones. Three members of the Nguyen family — Huy, Nhu and Thien — attended school here. They didn’t recall much about Christmas in Vietnam, but their father told them stories about the celebration. Most of the Catholics held mass at midnight each year. On Christmas Day, everyone went into the streets at the same time to greet each other and wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Everyone then celebrated. Christmas trees were not kept in houses. Instead, there were two big Christmas trees outside each church. It was traditional that the people put on a big Christmas play each year. The play was a big event. In front of each house was a stall with a manger in it. They exchanged gifts. Showing Livestock Means Plenty of Work Counseling More than just schedules Four students — Kim Hughes, Robert Goodson, Gary Hillard and Joey Reed — had livestock at the Howard County fair. Kim Hughes, a junior, showed an Angus and Sim-mental Steer. She placed reserve champion. When asked about the quality and looks of the steer to the judges, Kim said, “You put as much weight on the steer as possible.” Kim, who had shown for about six years, said she also enjoyed showing her animals at fairs. Robert Goodson, a senior, showed calves. He placed champion with one. Robert said, “We clip their hair and wash them for looks.” Robert taught his calves to lead instead of follow. He had shown for five years on and off and also enjoyed it. Gary Hillard, also a senior, showed a steer and placed second at the fair. Gary said, “You have to put their tails up in a nice ball.” He said he had to make their hair shiny and soft for showing. Afterwards he washed them down. If students were asked what Mr. Howard Hunter’s job was, many would say, “He arranges the schedules.” However, he had more to do than simply counseling students about schedules. When Mr. Hunter came to Nashville, he taught a course called “Occupations” to sophomores, and he did not have to figure grade point averages. He later counseled students about grades, schedules, personal problems and careers. It was this part of his job which he said was very important. Mr. Hunter’s duties covered administering the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery test, the National Merit Test and the ACT. He worked mainly with seniors about career plans, college, vo-tech and other topics. Mr. Hunter also gave the Gallager test to sophomores, which identified problems they were having. Stiff Sentence for Attacking Teacher Last spring, a student from Carlisle High School attacked a teacher. No incidents like that had ever happened around Nashville, but the Nashville School District had a rule dealing with such incidents. The rule was Rule 5 in the Student Handbook. It states that a student who committed assault and or battery upon a member of the faculty of staff of Nashville High School shall be recommended for expulsion, subject to the Board of Education approval (Ark. Stat. 41-1601, 41-1604, 41-3104, 80-1905). If a student attacked a teacher, that student could be expelled, and if the school pressed charges the attorney general could take the student to court. “I feel that no matter if a person is 15 or 30, they should be punished according to their crime,” said Prosecuting Attorney Jim Bob Steel when asked his opinion on the Tina Walker case. Walker, an eighth-grader at Carlisle, was charged with first-degree battery (striking another person) which was sometimes confused with assault (striking at a person and missing). She was tried in Lonoke County and sentenced to three years in prison. Her sentence was reconsidered and reduced to three years probation. Mr. Steel felt that her age and not having a prior felony were the causes of the reduced sentence. He noted that whether or not age was a determining factor in deciding criminal cases was a controversial matter. bits and pieces 41 42 Academics SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENT Holly Garney welcomes the audience to commencement. Scrapbook: Math, science, English, history. How much could one student learn in a day? Well, much more was learned with the beginning of the seven-period-day. Not only could students fit in more learning and more fun in a day; they could fit in more memories. Whether they realized it or not, students were making memories in all of those “boring” classes. Of course, every unexcused tardy and class interruption left a memory with a student. But many new learning experiences also left favorable memories with students. Exciting memories came from more than just weekend fun and after-school experiences.

Seniors recognized this time as the last registration before graduation. ‘‘It was really kind of sad because it was the beginning of my last year,” said Sherri Sharp. And for all students, it meant seeing old friends or meeting new ones and sharing their summer experiences with each other.

He was talking about the Talented and Gifted Program (TAG) started in the fall for outstanding students. The instructor for the program was Mrs. Edith Barnes. She first became interested in TAG when Superintendent Ken Turner asked her to teach the class. Mrs. Barnes said, ‘‘TAG is a challenging and exhilarating experience for me as a teacher and also for the students.” In preparation for the course, she took classes for two years to learn more about the program and how to teach it. ‘‘1 think it’s a wonderful opportunity for students to be-able to explore some of the things they want to do but don’t have the opportunity to do in the regular classroom,” Mrs. Barnes said. Students chosen for the program were selected on the basis of SRA scores, grade point average and teacher recommendation. TAG students took part in many different activities. They visited Henderson State University’s library to research a topic of interest and went to the Perot Theater in T exarkana to see Charles Dickens’ play Great Expectations. As a class requirement, students researched a topic every nine weeks and turned in a project on that topic. Cindy Jones said, ‘‘TAG is really a great class. We had a lot of fun, and we also learned about things I had never thought about before.’c 46 Academics VISITING THE Henderson library, TAG students listen as the librarian demonstrates the microfilm reader. ‘WE LOVE the mini-bus!’ is the general opinion of TAG students Andrea Sweeden, Scott Bourns, Jennifer Dale and Shelly Tate.

TAG 47 English, French CULTURE ON BOTH SIDES ew AP English courses offered challenging experiences for many students. Carla Cornish, a junior, said, “It was harder, but I feel I got a lot more out of it.” Students had many fun cultural experiences including a trip to the Perot Theatre in Texarkana to see the play Great Expectations, based on the novel by Charles Dickens. They also made trips to other events. Sophomores attended two plays and worked in the library at Ouachita Baptist University, and juniors went to the Texarkana public library. Christi Freel, a sophomore, said, “I loved the cultural events, but the research papers were hard.” AP English classes stressed preparing students for college. Karen White, a student in Mrs. Neva Byrd’s senior class, said, “It was mostly a review of what we had last year but more in depth.” The regular English classes also had a busy year, studying one semester of literature and one of grammar. Mr. John Robert Schirmer’s tenth grade classes studied literature the first semester. Kelli Porterfield said, “We had a really fun year, but we had to read too many books.” Alan Moses, a junior in Mrs. Jan Ponder’s class, said he “enjoyed Mrs. Ponder. She seemed to do a good job of getting her point across.” Mrs. Ponder began the year with grammar and then went into a chronological study of American Literature. Mrs. Byrd’s seniors had a similar schedule for the fall and studied British literature in the spring. Kristi Porterfield “thought Mrs. Byrd was a great teacher. She really made the most out of it.” Along with her senior English classes, Mrs. Byrd also had three sections of French. “I liked French because you could look back and see what you’d learned,” said sophomore Karen Gregory. Shelley White added, “It was interesting to learn another language. I hope it will help me in the future.” In addition to studying the language, the French classes also learned about the history and culture of the French people. Many took part in the Mar-di Gras celebration, which served as an induction of French I students into the French Club.' MRS. JAN PONDER makes her point in junior English.

Teresa Arnold, a junior, said that Algebra 11 was hard, but if she studied she could keep a fairly good grade. “I like dealing with triangles,” said sophomore David Boozer about his favorite part of geometry. Mrs. Mary Frances Spigner said the reason she became a math teacher was because the subject always seemed easy to her. She taught trigonometry, geometry and Algebra II.

They conducted lab experiments and dissected frogs and worms. “It was really fun, but 1 couldn’t get into dissecting frogs,” said sophomore Leah Reaves. Chemistry was more advanced. It dealt with equations, chemical formulae, atoms and molecules. “Chemistry was so hard. 1 had a lot of trouble with the problems. But I really enjoyed it,” said Nhu Nguyen, a junior. Amy Woods added, “Even though I didn’t understand a lot of it, it was one of my favorite classes.” Physics, a senior-level science class, dealt with gravity, electricity, forces and other topics. “You could say physics was a test for me to see whether I wanted to major in science in college,” said Marilyn Rose. “We worked very hard, but it was fun.” IN PHYSICS, Mrs. Nona Talley reviews her class for a test. 52 Academics SENIORS John Webb.

The Advanced Placement American history classes examined a number of primary sources and involved the students in decision making, according to Coach DeBlack. Miss Floyd’s classes covered many units in government, ranging from a comparative study of governments to state and foreign governments. The students watched movies and tapes which went along with each unit. They made the material more up to date. Mrs. Shaddox was also pleased with her students. They studied many important issues and went to Little Rock to watch a session of the state Legislature. Coach DeBlack said, “Next year we will be using a good new text, and the course should be better than ever.” Miss Floyd added, “I feel we did a good job in studying about this great country. 1 can only hope that someday, some of my students will be lawyers, politicians, judges, policemen and who knows — maybe even the president.” “ BEFORE THE lardy bell, Scott Bourns asks Susan Hubbard a question about a history test.

I’m responsible for meeting the state standards.” Mrs. Wesche had served as primary school principal before being named curriculum coordinator. While others moved to their new offices, Principal Dennis Horn stayed behind. He said, “Our goal is to expand curriculum. I am very proud of our new classes this year. Next year we will be offering global studies, geography, economics, contemporary American history and a survey of fine arts. We may also include the work-study program. This is where the students go to school half a day and work half a day.” Work on four new classrooms began in the fall. Concrete slabs were finished during the winter.

Office_______________ NOT JUST ANSWERING Pf IQNffS eing an office worker was not all fun and games; it took a lot of hard work. “They do more behind the scenes than is realized,” said Mrs. Kathi Ellis, secretary. One advantage was being able to meet new people, while another was being able to hear the excuses for being tardy. Office workers included Pat Venable, Wendy Herring, Shannon Hockaday, Ramona Young, Ann Martindale, Kim Holloway, Missy Gautney, Laura Gammill and Sherri Sharp. “It’s a good experience, and I love to work with people. It will help me in future jobs,” Pal said. Mr. Howard Hunter’s work in the office was more involv- ed. As counselor, he helped Principal Dennis Horn make out schedules, worked on scholarships for seniors, provided college information, and listened to students’ problems. He and Mr. Horn worked on a parent night program for parents of all students, and Mr. Hunter also organized a college day which brought in a number of college admissions officers. Nurse Mary Gammill spent one day a week in her high school office. She kept up with health records and was available if students became sick. In February she was bombarded with requests for information about measles vaccinations when a measles scare hit much of Arkansas. =«,=, 66 Academics Office, staff 67 PUTTING CONTACTS INTO PLACE causes Shai Rosenbaum to take a short break. 68 People AT THE AWARDS ASSEMBLY, Principal Dennis Horn shows off (he five-foot toothpick he received from the senior class.

Whether they were playing practical jokes or presenting interesting reports, students always found ways to show their individuality. Students weren’t the only important people. Teachers showed they were special by taking on new classes and trying to make old ones more interesting. Maintenance and cafeteria workers also proved to be special people. They kept the school looking good and kept good food on the menu. Not only students, but everybody in school proved to be special in their own way.

The weather proved to be a jinx on the class through the year. The trouble started during football season. Before the game with Magnolia, the junior class had a chili supper. It was raining that night, so not many people showed up for the game, much less for the supper. The next bit of trouble came when the juniors presented their play Time Out for Ginger. That night it wasn’t just raining; it was storming. Not many people showed up. Steven Myers, the class president, called a meeting and said, “We’re broke. We need something to raise money.” It was decided to have a sack-lunch auction. The day of the auction came. It was cloudy, but the prayers of the class must have been answered.

Busy. That’s how someone would describe the junior class’ year. Although there were disappointments, most juniors seemed to think the year was fun. Lori Byers said, “The year went by quickly, but I had a lot of fun.’’ When school began, the juniors elected class officers, including Steven Myers, president; Sylvia Myers, vice president; and Kim Cowling, secretary. Football season kept the juniors active. They made posters supporting the Scrappers, and they got together with the seniors and gave popsicles to the football team. They also sponsored a chili supper. In December the AP English class went to the Perot Theatre in Texarkana to see Great Expectations. On March 15 the juniors put on their class play, Time Out for Ginger. The AP English class later went to Texarkana to do research for a book review assigned by Mrs. Jan Ponder. The juniors discovered that they did not have enough money to pay for the Junior-Senior Banquet, it was decided that the class would sponsor a sack-lunch auction, which brought in about $150. April 26 brought the banquet. Juniors chose the theme “A Night of Stars.’’ Two members of the class were chosen to attend Governor's School at Hendrix College in Conway.

Waking up to a buzzing alarm clock started my day off great. A few phone calls and a good meeting place were all I needed for a good start. Jen Hill, Jen Dale and I decided to meet at Road Mart, although the plan got a little mixed up and Piggly Wiggly was the place of our meeting. I’m sure I was not alone with the doubtful feeling of the first day at high school. Hopefully there would be no need for negotiations with the principal. The first bad occurrence was when I forgot my locker combination. Imposing a small amount on Jen Dale made that the least of my worries. Luckily, none of my teachers gave long lectures on how and when to raise your hand or made facetious statements after assigning the daily homework. To my unbelief, there was not the slightest turbulent skirmish at lunch. In fact, there were even a few reconciliations. Many bright faces were found in the courtyard. Cheerleader period was hot and sweaty, as usual, but all the teachers had admiration for me. So far, I wasn’t at all disappointed.

But most felt it was worth it. “High school’s a lot more fun than junior high,” said Shelly Tate. “There’s a lot more going on.” What was going on that the sophomores enjoyed? “The pep rallies!” said Kathi Peak. “They’re great — it’s a lot of fun for the students, and I’m sure it gets the football boys going!” Many students thought the football games themselves were their favorite. One sophomore said, “We’d always gone to them before, but it’s more exciting when you belong — when you know all the guys playing.” Whatever their favorite, the sophomores didn’t take long to adjust.

Social studies teacher Miss Betty Floyd liked to relax at home. She was a bird watcher and recorded 33 species of birds in her yard in the past 10 years. Miss Floyd said she enjoyed traveling in the summer; she also played golf and tennis. Still thinking of school, however, she recorded educational programs for her classes to watch. Mrs. Norma Martin, librarian, enjoyed cooking for her family, including her husband and three children.

Faculty, staff 89 Sixty pounds of hamburger? The cafeteria was a large part of school because it provided food for the students, while the maintenance staff had the task of keeping the building clean during the construction of four classrooms. Five full-time employees ran the cafeteria, along with three student workers. About 675 hamburger lunches were served per week, along with 750 regular meals, according to food services director Pam Ball. As an example of how much food was needed, the Dec. 10 menu of lasagna, vegetables, fruit, French bread and milk required the following: 60 pounds of hamburger meat, 24 pounds of mozzarella cheese, 60 pounds of vegetables. 25 pounds of canned fruit, 250 eight-ounce cartons of milk and 50 pounds of flour mix for the bread. In November there were 82,012 lunches served in grades K-12. The job for maintenance workers became bigger as the year went along. When work on the new classes started late in the fall, there was the additional problem of cleaning up after the workers. This was combined with custodian Arthur Baker’s regular tasks. Fie and Mr. Coy Aylett were responsible for everything from replacing light bulbs to repairing balky air conditioners. They also went through several weekends in which the library was flooded.

Oh, just little things like a band trip to Six Flags, or the nervous feeling before an important cheerleading contest, or an Honor Society induction, or the completion of an FFA project. These things and many others showed that organizations were an important part of school activities. Organizations did take up lunch time sometimes and weekends also, but these inconveniences were merely lessons in responsibility that the groups were supposed to teach. Yes, even a lost Saturday for a car wash could leave a student with special memories. FFA AND FHA MEMBERS host a visit from a national FFA officer.

They worked the concession stand, sponsored the homecoming dance and talent show, and helped with the awards assembly. The group also sponsored a luncheon for the teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week, sponsored parents night during football season and sold balloons for Valentine’s Day. They used their money to buy a new podium with microphone and amplifier for assemblies, a centrifuge for the science department, and a television set. It wasn’t all work, however.

The French Club requirements included being a French student and attending Mardi Gras. Prospective French Club members were initiated at the annual Mardi Gras celebration held at the First Methodist Church. The new members enjoyed a meal of French cuisine. After the meal the initiation was underway. It consisted of being blindfolded and led through the Methodist nursery by French II members. The new members were subjected to interrogations and were forced to stick their hands in raw shrimp, spaghetti, and bananas. The French Club was active in many social events. They sold tickets for the Center Point Ses-quicentennial celebration. They also sold cookies in the courtyard at lunch on most Tuesdays.

A year oi Something most people did not realize was that there was more to being a cheerleader than doing ehcers. A cheerleader’s work never ended. Some of the projects included selling ads for the football program, working two of the three summer months getting ready for camp and the new year, making run-through signs, making two posters for pep rallies and games, making up new dances as well as cheers, planning and decorating for parades and banquets. It that didn’t keep them busy, there were also jobs such as helping with community projects like nursing home activities, American Legion tournaments and the Junior Auxiliary Spookhouse; building school spirit with the cheerleaders’ cake feed, serving the teams cookies and Kool-Aid, and cheering at the games. The girls said all of the work paid off. “I’ve had a lot of fun supporting the Scrappers, said senior Lea McAdams. “I really can’t believe it’s my last year.” Mrs. Anita Stuckey, sponsor, said, “This is probably the most talented group I’ve ever had. They excellence teally seem to enjoy what they are doing.’’ Seniors Kerri Wesche, Sissi Davis and Lea were the captains. “They have been excellent leaders and have set good examples for others. I’m not sure how we will ever manage without them,’ said Mrs. Stuckey. For the first lime there were two alternates on the squad — Jennifer Hill and Jennifer Dale. They were there working with the others, filling in when needed and always around to help out. Mrs. Stuckey said, “Their support and help have been outstanding all year.’’ Three of the squad’s major highlights were awards. They were selected to be in the Award of Excellence finals at Southern Arkansas University’s summer camp. They were chosen the best all-around squad out of 21 schools at camp. For the first time, they made the finals of the state competition at Little Rock. But their main highlight was cheering for the Scrappers.

Only the spring concert and the end-of-the-year trip were left in a year of exciting trips and unique experiences. The year was all new and full of changes because of the arrival of the new director, Mr. Larry Cross. Mr. Cross left many things as they had been but definitely made some changes as well. He said early in the year, “The band is a reflection of me just as I am a reflection of them.” He lived up to that statement by doing the most for the band he could. Early in the summer the band began practice at its usual time, and marching routines to “Magna” and “Strutt” were worked out in time for the first game. Several other songs were added through the year including: “Let’s Go Crazy,” “Too Late For Goodbyes,” and the banquet’s theme song, “We Are the World.” These same songs were used all through basketball season to entertain the crowd. Marching contests began the day after the last game. The band went to Prescott, where they (Cont. on page 106) Band 105 New director brings change (Com. from page 105) scored a third division (good). They improved to a second division (excellent) at the Ashdown contest where all the auxiliaries scored first divisions (superior). After the contests, students attended all-region tryouts. After playing tryout materials for judges, six students were chosen to go to all-region clinic in Malvern. Next came solo ensemble where 31 medals were won. Students played selected materials for judges and received medals for first or second division performances. Concert season then rolled in. The band played such tunes as “The Blue and the Gray,” “They Went Thataway,” “The Gladiator” and “Superstar.” The spring concert was presented on May 11 and was followed by the May 17 trip to Six Flags. This was a new experience in class trips; the Band Boosters chartered a bus for them. Graduation brought the year to an end. A few students went to the Henderson State University Band Camp, but most were finished until the next year’s summer practice.

You get to talk to a lot of [people for your stories,” said Shelley White. The Scrapper and Tattler staffs took on a different twist, with students from junior high coining to join high school students. The yearbook and newspaper staffs started their meetings early in the summer. They sold ads and practiced taking pictures before school started. They also learned how to develop pictures in the darkroom. Allen Williams, photography editor, said, “1 had fun taking pictures and working in the darkroom.” Five students attended the spring Arkansas High School Press Association convention at Little Rock, where Nashville received more awards than ever before. Those who attended included Dawn Morris, Karen White, Carla Cornish, Shelley White and Andrea Sweeden. Honorable mention awards went to Scott Bourns, sports copy; Shelley White, academic layout; Andrea Sweeden, student life layout; Allen Williams, feature photo; and Karen White, sports photo.

Scrapbook: The breaking of a school track record, or the winning of a district championship, or even a personal best record could leave a student with memories to treasure a lifetime. Sports were a big part of everybody’s life — the coaches, the athletes, and the spectators. Even an off-night for an athlete could leave fond memories and thoughts of what could have been. Yes, sports definitely contributed to a large portion of the Scrap Book full of memories. trying for a BASKET, Geneen Souder puts the ball up against Camden Fairview. Sports By Scott Bourns “Is it worth it?” “How can I go on?“ “ When will it end? — These are some of the questions I frequently asked myself during two-a days. These were very “trying” days. Under the intense heat I would run, crawl, roll, and (quite often) stumble through the stations, drills, and conditioning. The stations, however, were the hardest part for me. 1 had to bearcrawl around tires, run hills, lift weights, run ropes, and do agilities until I thought I would die. Fach station lasted five minutes and when they were over, I didn’t mind running a couple hundred more yards for water. I was happy to do so. After a few minutes of rest, I would go to either my defensive or offensive group to learn about the basics. Next, I would go through either “team defense” or “team offense.” Here, I would learn my responsibilities and plays. Last, I would run a few “forties” and go to (my personal favorite) the hill to “make a football player out of myself.” Now, 1 admit it was rough; I was certainly glad to end practice each morning and evening. I got “shin-splints,” bruises, and cuts until getting out of bed each morning became almost as difficult at two-a-days, itself. But- Was it worth it? Darn right it was!!!! DURING TWO-A-DAYS, Scrappers gel a chance to show off (heir talents in Blood Alley.

Scrappers do unexpected Become 7AA district champs ’he Scrappers came into the season with few people expecting ______much from them. However, they quickly proved their worth. Like every squad before them, they gave their best effort, finishing with a 7-3 overall record, 5-1 in District 7-AA. They returned to AA competition after two years in AAA. Lakeside The Scrappers opened their season Sept. 6 at home against the Lakeside Rams. In this game, they showed their potential by dominating the Rams both offensively and defensively. The Scrappers got the ball rolling BETWEEN PI.AYS, Coach Cary Surest gives Terry Larey definite instructions. with a decisive 20-6 win. De Queen Next, the Scrappers hosted their big rival — the De Queen Leopards. Tradition was to be the key factor in this game. Nashville already led De Queen 38-12-2 in the series. Despite the Leopards’ great defense and superior size, the Scrappers beat them 14-9 to increase their lead in the rivalry. With the second win of the season (especially against the Leopards), Nashville was showing its strength. Gurdon For their third game, the Scrappers traveled to Gurdon to meet the Go-Devils in another district contest. Gurdon was expected by many to be a leading contender for the district title. The Scrappers needed a win. The game itself was hard fought, and both sides seemed quite even. However, it seemed in the final minutes that Nashville would come away with another win. The Scrap pers were leading 13-7 when Gurdon got the ball. The Orange Crush defense, which never seemed to let up, could not stop the Devil rush. Gurdon scored with less than two minutes remaining. Nashville battled back to within field goal range with nine seconds left. The field goal was missed, and the Scrappers walked away with their first loss 14-13.

The Scrappers were “against the wall” after the loss to Gurdon but did well against a larger and stronger opponent. Nashville won 21-14. Prescott For “Who” week, the Scrappers had to travel to Prescott territory Oct. 4. The Curley Wolves had the leading defense in the district and were expected to be tough; they were. The score was close the entire game. With little time left, Tim Morrow kicked the winning field goal. It seemed like Gurdon made over, but the Scrappers won 11-8. Hampton Next, the Scrappers went to Hampton to face the Bulldogs, who gave Nashville a run for its money. The game went into overtime tied at 12-12. In the first overtime possession, the Scrappers held Hampton for four downs from the 10-yardline. The offense then punched in a touchdown, making the final score 20-12 Nashville. Magnolia, Fairview The next two weeks were home games against non-conference teams. They were much needed as insurance for a district title. Nashville lost to Magnolia 20-9 in a sloppy, wet game. The next week, Oct. 25, thev turned in a homecom- ing victory 20-14 over the Fairview Cardinals. Fordycc In the final regular-season game, the Scrappers traveled to far-off For-dyce to take on the Redbugs. This game was for the district title and was played on a muddy field.

Almost everyone shared similar views when asked w hy they seemed to dress up for football games. Fans could be seen in anything from dresses or dress pants to jeans and sweaters. Generally girls had more fashion sense than the guys. Oxford button-downs were about as far as they dared to go. Rhinestone jewelry provided a great addition to most of the girls’ wardrobes. Costume jewelry had a lot to do with fall fashions. “I love wearing a lot of anique jewelry, pins especially,” said sophomore Jennifer Watson. “I guess I do because everyone else does,” said Toyia Ray, who could usually be seen at football games in all her favorites. “It’s best,” according to Gina Bratton, ‘‘to dress up at home games and be comfortable at away games.” Shannon Garris said, ‘‘Football games are just about the only occasions that we can dress up.

Afterthoughts Fans agreed that it had been a successful season; the Scrappers had a winning record and were district champions. Quarterback Deano Norsworthy said, “We did something nobody thought we could do.” He thought the high points were De Queen and Fordyce. John Webb and David Harris were also pleased with the season. John described it as a “success,” and David said, “We were pretty good...considering our talent.” Coach Gary Segrest summed up the season this way: “We had to lay it on the line every Friday night. I think we got the ultimate out of the team — Great year!” SENIOR QUARTERBACK Deano Norsworthy expresses grief over the loss to Prescott in the first round of the state playoffs. 118 Sports With a 3-5 season record, the junior varsity Scrappers were hardly phenomenal, but that wasn’t the point. Their objective was to gain experience (although an occasional win didn’t hurt). Offensive lineman Michael Toliver said of the games, “They were fun...especially when we won.” Michael thought that Hope was the hardest team; he thought Murfreesboro was the easiest. John Paul Jamison, defensive back, said, “We had a disappointing season, but we learned a lot.” Another defensive back, Pat McAtec, seemed to agree with John. Still, the consensus of the players was that playing time would give them a better team in the years to come. As sophomores Steven Martin and Tad Richard said, “They [the games] would give us valuable experience for our senior high years as Scrappers.” GETTING LITTLE recognition but lots of work, the junior varsity Scrappers give it their best effort against Hope.

The six who qualified were Scott Bourns, Charles Vaughn, Joe T. Morrison, Thomas Robinson, Willie Hughes and Roland Booher. The girls also did well in the district meet at De Queen. Yolanda Coulter and Geneen Souder had especially good performances; Geneen qualified for state with wins in the mile and 880 runs. Yolanda almost made it to the state meet in McCrory with a controversial third-place finish in the 100 m. dash. Geneen finished her brilliant career reer at state with a second in the 880 and a place in the mile. Both Lynn and Geneen hold several school and district records. (Cont. on page 130) By Beth Dempsey ‘Arkansas Democrat' Used by permission When Geneen Souder graduated, she left her mark on the Lady Scrappers’ track program. Make that eight marks. Souder owned the school record in six individual events and was a member of teams that set two relay records. Those records were in the 200-meter dash (27.5), the 400-meter dash (1:02.9), the 800-meter run (2:27.1), the 1,600-meter run (14:07.1), cross country (12:51.0) and the 400- and 1,600-meter relays. “We don’t have a large track program here,” Nashville Coach Tom DeBlack said, “but Geneen would probably have been just a sprinter if she had not injured her knee in a freak basketball accident her freshman year. Since then, we have concentrated on the middle distances. “The middle distances are probably her best events now. Her endurance is good. Despite the injury, she also has enough speed to be competitive in the 800-meter run.” Souder ranked among the state’s best with a time of 2:33.1 in the 800. She ran the 3,200 meters for the first and only time this spring, setting a school record in the process. “We put her in the two-mile run that one time so that she could break the school record, DeBlack said. “It was the only running record she didn’t hold. We wanted her to get it.” As easy as it appeared, the going was not always smooth for Souder. (Cont. on paee 131) GENEEN SOUDER shows the records she holds. Track 129 ‘Pleased’ (Corn, from page 129) Both coaches were happy with their teams. Coach Tom DeBlack was real “pleased with season” especially since they had only six girls. Coach Gene Simmons was also satisfied with the boys’ efforts. This was Coach Simmons’ last year at Nashville. He felt that the number and the quality of athletes he took to state was “quite an accomplishment.” GENEEN SOLDER cruises down the district track straight stretch in De Queen.

(Cont. from page 129) “She didn’t compete the rest of the year after the accident, and no one knew if she would ever be able to compete again,” DeBlack said. “But she'came back strong. She is a hard worker.” Souder said the injury still bothers her at times. “It was frustrating coming back from the injury,” she said. “My parents and the people around me encouraged me. That helped. The knee doesn’t hurt when I’m competing, but after I run it is tender.” Souder, who returned to basketball and was named Nashville’s outstanding player, had the achievements of two older sisters to compete against. “We have an award, the Betty Floyd Track Award, named after a former coach,” DeBlack said. “It goes to the outstanding track athlete every year. Genccn’s older sister Gloria won it in 1982 when it was first given. Her sister Gwen won it in 1983. Geneen has won it the past two years. “I have never talked to her about it, but I don’t think there has been any extra pressure. Any pressure she has felt has been from herself. She demonstrated early on that she can do wahatever she wants to do.” In setting the school records, Souder broke some records that had been set by her sisters. “I broke Gwen’s record in the mile,” she said. “Gloria ran on the relay teams, and my relay teams have broken those records. I want to uphold the tradition and make them proud of me.” DeBlack fell that she could compete in a strong college program although she hadn’t had any offers. Track 131 Steady improvement Things came together 55 he baseball team began their I season under new coach Frank Puryear March 13 at Hope Bobcat pitching allowed only two hits for the Scrappers. The only two Nashville runs came in the fifth inning when John Paul Jamison reached base on a single, and Todd Young walked. These two runs were not enough, and Hope came away with a 4-2 victory. Bobby Chambers pitched six of the seven innings while allowing eight hits for four runs. In the junior varsity game, a Bobcat hitter sent a Tim Cox pitch over the fence in the third inning for the only run of the game. Both pitchers gave up five hits, but Hope won 1-0. The Horatio Lions came to Wilson Park March 17 and proved why they were ranked in the top 10 Class A schools. Lion batters could not be stopped as they drove in nine runs for a 9-2 victory. Bobby Crawford led the Scrapper effort with three of Nashville’s six hits. BOBBY CHAMBERS TAGS a runner out and looks for another. The Scrappers traveled to Lockesburg to play the Blue Darters March 28. Chambers struck out 11 Lockesburg batters while allowing four runs on only four hits. Scrapper batting finally came together for seven hits and eight runs. Crawford sent a pitch over the fence in the second inning to spark the Scrappers to an 8-4 victory. “Our hitting finally improved,” Coach Puryear said about the game. “In our first two games we couldn’t get any hits, and we finally started getting some hits and some men on base.” The Blevins Hornets came to Nashville April 10. Chambers pitched an outstanding game as he fanned 12 Blevins batters while giving up only four hits and one run. The Nashville bats really came alive as they swung for 13 hits. Crawford and Jamison had four RBIs each to lead the Scrappers to an 11-1 six-inning victory. The junior varsity Scrappers made it a sweep over the Hornets as they came away with a 9-2 win. The Scrappers played their closest game of the season at Prescott. Coach Puryear again chose Chambers to pitch. Chambers struck out seven Curley Wolves but gave up five hits for five runs. Kenny Reeves scored in the top of the seventh to tie the game at 5-5. Prescott could not score in their half of the inning, and the game went into extra innings. Greg Sharp reached base on a walk. Sharp advanced to third where Prescott attempted to pick him off. The throw was wild and Sharp came home to give Nashville a 6-5 win and improve their record to 3-2. The Scrappers’ next contest was at De Queen. Nashville owned a 3-2 lead going into the bottom of the sixth. The Leopards tied the game, and Reeves’ single in the top of the seventh proved to be the winning run.

Nashville had three more regular season games before the district tournament, but they were canceled because of rain. “I wish we could have played those games because we had the potential to win at least two of those,” Coach Puryear said. Wilson Park was the site of the district tournament May 5-8. The Scrappers played Lockesburg in their first game of the tournament. The Blue Darters played a much closer game than they did earlier in the season. Chris Mitchell, pitching in his first varsity game of the season, struck out four while giving up seven hits for five runs. The Scrappers trailed 5-3 going into the bottom of the sixth. Nashville sent eight batters to the plate and scored four runs to pull out a 7-5 victory. Nashville had 12 hits of Lockesburg pitchers. Kenny Morphew and Reeves were three for four with two RBIs to lead the team. “Chris got off to a shaky start, but he limited them to just two runs late in the game,” Coach Puryear said. The Scrappers advanced to the semifinals against Horatio. The game was tied at 0-0 through the first two innings. The third inning proved to be a big one for Horatio as they scored four runs. The Lions ended the game in the top of the sixth with their third home run of the game, giving them a 10-0 victory. The Scrappers ended the season with a 5-3 record. “I enjoyed it. 1 learned a lot,” Coach Puryear said of his first year. “We had a good season when you look at who beat us and who we beat. We played two excellent games against Prescott and De Queen. 1 think we represented our school real well.” Bobby Crawford and Kenny Reeves were named to the all-district team. 134 Sports PITCHER DAVE BEAVERT unleashes a hard fast ball toward home.

Tom DeBlack saluted his ladies’ track team for their continued improvement. He noted school records set by Jones, Souder and Yolanda Coulter over the past season. Baseball coach Frank Puryear presented awards to Bobby Chambers, top pitcher; Bobby Crawford, top hitler and all-district; and Kenny Reeves, all-district. Derfler acknowledged the golf team’s runner-up spot in district and its participation at state. Brett Cauley finished seventh at Hot Springs. The men’s track team was praised by outgoing coach Gene Simmons, who said the thinclads improved their times and distances in 13 of 16 events during the final two weeks of the season. Cheerleader sponsor Anita Stuckey presented awards to the spring cheerleaders, and recognized three-year senior squad members Kerri Wesche, Lea McAdams and Sissi Davis. Segrest gave thanks to practice coach Bunch Nichols and Principal Dennis Horn. He also praised Simmons and DeBlack, who will not return to the coaching staff next year. Baseball 135 Tradition continues Ten straight years They might not have been ready for Wimbledon, but they car-ried on a tradition for the tentn straight year by having John Webb and Deano Norsworthy in the state tennis tournament. Although the season started off slowly, the tennis team did well in the district tournament. Webb and Norsworthy qualified for state. Since most of the players were seniors, there wouldn’t be as many leaders the following year. Squad members included Lea McAdams, Sissi Davis, Kerri Wesche and Deb Roesing, John Webb, Deano Norsworthy, Jim Pinson and David Harris. Golfer Brett Cauley turned in a comedalist performance in the district championship and joined the team in competing at Hot Springs in the state tournament. Brett said golf was “a good way to meet new people from out of town. In July I played in a tournament with someone I met during a golf match from the school team.” The golf team included Cauley, Dave Beavert, Chris Hockaday, Lance Pope and Hayden Worthington. SISSI DAVIS PRACTICES her form while Kerri Wesche looks on. 136 Sports The School Board put into effect a rule that allowed only one baseball game and one track meet a week. This was to be required by all schools in the state in 1987. “1 have mixed feelings about it,” Coach Gary Segrest said when asked about the change in the spring sports schedule. “From a coach’s standpoint, I think we need to participate a little more, but from an administrative or athletic director’s standpoint, it’s a good rule because you won’t have to be going as much as before. “Academics and athletics are two different things. Athletics teaches things about life that the classroom doesn’t. If you can put these two together, than you have a total education,” Coach Segrest said. “I’m a firm believer in academics and athletics, and I think the two should go together. We want the athlete to excel in the classroom and on the athletic field. The main thing we want is to give an athlete a total and honest high school diploma.” Golf, tennis 137 138 Junior high Scrapbook: Pep rallies, football games, homecoming, candle-light dinners, basketball games, class trips, track meets, talent show, parties....

They found lots of things to do throughout the year. Each of these found its way into the Scrap Book, Junior high MR. AND MISS NJHS are Brooke Herndon and Sieve Spigner. Long-lasting librarian retires Mrs. Bertha Crumpton started her career in Nashville as a fourth grade teacher at Childress. She then became their high school librarian and also taught part time. After integration she taught fifth grade at Southside, which was Childress’ new name, for one year. In 1968, when Nashville was fully integrated, she became junior high’s librarian and stayed until her retirement at the end of May. Mrs. Crumpton graduated from Lumbar High School in Texarkana, Texas. After high school she went to and graduated from Prairie View A. and M. College. She spent the greatest part of her career teaching in Nashville. “1 love books,” said Mrs. Crumpton when asked what her reason was for becoming a librarian. She also liked working with students. After retirement Mrs. Crumpton planned to read, travel, go to the theatre, and get involved in community affairs. “I’m going to enjoy being a free agent,” said Mrs. Crumpton. She said it would be the first time in her entire life for her to have a sense of freedom. “Even though a lot of people find education boring, I find it a most fascinating experience. I’ve had a ball!” said Mrs. Crumpton. LIBRARIAN Mrs. Bertha Crumpton visits with secretary Em-m h at a reception in Mrs. Crumpton's honor. Constructing changes THE NEW GYM nears completion. Work began in the fall ana was expected to be finished before the beginning of the 1986-87 school year. Construction had been going on at junior high since Aug. 1. A new Home Economics room was added and completed during the last week of September. Principal Danny Howard said, “I love having a Home Economics room here in the building.” Construction of the new gym was started on Oct. 1 and was supposed to be completed within a year. It consisted of five rooms including a band room and music room. Mr. Howard said, “Having a gym here will take out the hassle of transporting the kids.” Kim Epton said, “I’m glad that a gym was finally being built near the school, but now we have no shade tree.” 140 Junior high MRS. BETTY JOHNSON’S fifth-period class begins its next assignment. New classes The new schedule offered many new opportunities for the 9th grade class. Among the new courses available were journalism, health, chorus, and speech. Kim Blakely, a ninth grader, enjoyed speech. “It’s a new experience having new people in my class.” Kathleen Gregory, another ninth grader, said she enjoyed journalism because, “It’s really interesting to learn how to print pictures.” Mr. John Robert Schirmer, who taught journalism, said, “Having ninth graders in our journalism class made it much easier to work on the junior high section of the yearbook. They were able to do much of their work during class instead of after school. “We were also able to include more stories from junior high in each Tattler.” JUDGE CONNIE CASTLEBERRY presides over her civics class’ mock (rial. Mock trial held Innocent or guilty? These were some major thoughts running through many ninth graders minds when Mrs. Connie Castleberry held a mock trial in her classes. This was the sixth year for Mrs. Castleberry’s classes to conduct the trial. “It is a good project in that it gives individual students a chance to take on different roles and see the basic process of how a real court process occurs,” Mrs. Castleberry said. The trial dealt with a murder mystery. The attorneys and witnesses were chosen in each class. Witnesses were given prepared testimonies to follow. Both sets of lawyers prepared questions for their witnesses. Mrs. Castleberry turned her room into a courtroom. She was the judge in all classes except sixth period where Coach Billy Keaster presided. During the mock trial, the students followed regular court procedure. In most classes the ending was the same. Mike Mean was found innocent of all charges except in one class where the jury could not reach a verdict. Kevin Rose, prosecutor in sixth period, said he had a wonderful time confusing and tricking the defense.

Magazine 145 Emotional journey Teacher takes tour of Europe, Russia By Kim Byers Some very emotional feelings embraced Mrs. Maye G. Davis during her trip to Europe last summer. This trip was not only a vacation, but a learning experience as well. Mrs. Davis toured England, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Poland, East Germany and Holland. While in the Scandinavian countries, she visited many exciting places. Among these were the home of Hans Christian Anderson in Odense, Denmark; Elsinore and Kroborg Castle from Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”in Stockholm, Sweden; the Lutheran Cathedral in Helsinki, which is built underground; and many other interesting places. Mrs. Davis described the Scandinavian Countries as having beautiful forests. She said that the food was wonderful. Plenty of strong coffee and rich pastries could be found. She also stated that the weather was very unpredictable. “I felt insecure and apprehensive as we arrived in Russia,” said Mrs. Davis. They had to be cleared and the bus had to be searched. This took about two and a half hours. After stopping in Vyborg for lunch, they went on to Leningrad. While in Leningrad they toured the Winter Palace, St. Isaac’s Cathedral, and Peter the Great’s old Summer Palace. From Leningrad they traveled to Moscow. For Mrs. Davis this was a very emo- tional part of the tour. “These people aren’t stupid; they’re just ignorant of the sophistication of contemporary life,” Mrs. Davis said. All the women were overweight and looked older than they should. They stood in long lines for scarce food. While still in Moscow she visited Red Square, St. Basil’s Cathedral and the Kremlin. In Warsaw she found pride in the people who had rebuilt the city. West and East Berlin were the next cities she toured. Mrs. Davis described West Berlin as rich, free and cosmopolitan. In East Berlin she was impressed with the Babylonian statues and the ruins of a Greek temple. Then it was back to civilization. In Amsterdam she saw windmills, lace curtains. cheese farms, and friendliness in people’s faces. Mrs. Davis then returned to London to meet her family. During her 10-day stay she visited Westminister Abbey, Tower of London, Hyde Park, and Oxford University to name a few. When she arrived at Little Rock there were tears of happiness in her eyes. “1 never realized how proud I was to be an American until I got home from this trip.” ‘ felt insecure and apprehensive as we arrived in Russia. ’ Mrs. Maye G. Davis 146 Junior high Fads From long sweaters to feathered hair for guys There were many new fads ranging from stirrup pants to long sweaters. Some of the long sweaters could be worn with jeans, or if they were long enough, as dresses. The stirrup pants and the flood pants were usually worn with flats or pumps and sometimes colored hose. The music ranged from Starship’s “We Built This City” to Dire Strait’s “Money for Nothin.” Some students liked the slower songs such as “I Miss You” by Kiymaxx. Others preferred more jam in their songs, such as “Flygirl” by the Boogie Bros. Hairstyles were also big fads to students. Most girls had their hair cut in a bob or in layers. Others had a permanent in their hair, but some (such as Alicia Keaster) couldn’t get away from their mothers in time to save their hair. Some guys wore their hair feathered in the front and short in the back. Bound for art By Chcrise Carver and Katie Graham Mr. Hollis Hughes and his art class were bound for Shreveport when they left Nashville at 7:30 a.m. Oct. 8. The overcrowded bus didn’t ensure much comfort, for many relied on the floor to hold them up. They, along with Mrs. Jeanie Van Vranken, who chaperoned, wondered what the day had in store for them. They arrived in Shreveport at 10:45 a.m. Their first stop was at the Channel 3 studio. As they toured the station. they saw how the 6 p.in. news and weather are done. They talked to Bob Pope and Ed Duransic and saw how films arc edited. Sherri Neece said, “It was very fascinating to learn how they made the news and got the information for a weather report.” After a quick lunch, they stopped at the Norton Art Gallery. Here they saw work by C.M. Russell, Fredrick Remington and Albert Bierstadt. Wendy Stueart said, “1 enjoyed the American History Art most of all.” Their last stop was at the Louisiana State Fairgrounds Exhibit Building. Here they found a museum, a real alligator and turtles. The museum had relics from the Civil War, World War I, World War II and the Vietnam War. There were also all types of rocks, minerals and stuffed animals. Stacy Duncan said, “We enjoyed the exhibits at the fair. There were miniature farms, steel mills, cotton plantations and wildlife.” The group made time for a quick supper, then headed home. Along the way they saw some Spanish architecture, cotton fields and oil wells. They finally reached Nashville at 9:15 p.m. Mr. Hughes said, “I enjoyed it, but I didn’t have enough time to spend at the places 1 would've liked to have stayed longer.” ‘We enjoyed the exhibits at the fair. ’ Stacy Duncan Magazine 147 Party all the time LIFE OUTSIDE the classroom consisted of many activities. Students enjoyed sports, after-school jobs, and doing things with friends. Many sports interested junior high students such as tennis, golf, baseball, softball, swimming, water skiing and basketball. “I love to play golf. I play at the country club almost every day,” said Jay Worthington. After-school jobs were important as well as fun. Babysitting, sacking groceries, and mowing lawns were just a few of the many jobs done by students. “I mow lawns for the money so I can have fun in the summer,” Danny Har- ris said about his after-school job. Parties, shopping, concerts and movies were things enjoyed with friends. Many people were regulars to concerts in Little Rock and Shreveport. Some of the more popular ones were Heart, Loverboy and Van Halen. While Nashville was a fun place to shop. Central Mall in Texarkana was a favorite also. To some people shopping is not only a necessity, but also a hobby or favorite pastime. “My favorite places to shop are Dox, Lisa’s, and Central Mall. I really enjoy shopping because it’s a lot of fun,” said Samantha Schaal. Parties were a big hit in the lives of students. Parties featured dancing. snacks, loud music and loads of fun. Occasions for these big bashes were birthdays, holidays, or “just because we wanted to.” Parties were often held in barns, houses, backyards, or at the country club. Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings were often spent at the Howard Auto Theatre. Students enjoyed many movies throughout the year such as: Iron Eagle, Pretty In Pink, Nightmare on Elm Street Two — Freddy’s Revenge, and House. “Wc go to the show on the weekend to see our friends and catch up on the latest movies,” said Tara Horn, Betsy Davis and Meredith Dale.

ANNA COULTER, ninth grade class maid, is honored by her fellow students. A new experience Homecoming was a great honor for all the girls in royalty, especially Brooke Herndon. On Oct. 30, Queen Brooke and her court made their walks down royalty row. “It was a shock, and I couldn’t believe it when they announced my name,” said Brooke. Homecoming was a new experience for Brooke. She added that it was really exciting and fun. Things really started booming when she received six roses from the freshman class and a rose from the seventh and eighth grade cheerleaders. “I would like to thank the football boys for giving me this great honor,” Brooke said. Paulette Williams, maid of honor, said being in homecoming was exciting and that she couldn’t believe they had called her name. Ninth grade football maid Carrie Richard said, “Being chosen by the football boys surprised me, but it was the most pleasant surprise I’ve had all year. I was very happy and grateful for them making me a part of their freshman homecoming.” Anna Coulter thanked the football players, classmates and teachers for the honor of being chosen class maid.

It was a great honor and one I will always remember,” commented Cherise Carver. Cherise and Kevin Rose were chosen outstanding students by the ninth grade teachers. Kevin said that he was “shocked” when he found out about this honor. He felt that his parents inspired him to do the best he could in school. “School isn’t all of my life, just a very important part. I enjoy having fun and going to parties as well,” said Kevin. Some hobbies he enjoyed were fishing, hunting and collecting coins. Kevin’s favorite subject was algebra. “My mother has always inspired me to become the best person I can be,” said Cherise. School was very important to her, Cherise said, as was her desire to become a lawyer. She enjoyed swimming, golf, tennis, singing and listening to music.

Hopefully it will be as fun next year,” said Chris Rowland. The freshman class described the year as “great,” “exciting” and “radical,” but some students complained about homework. Fifty-three civics students ventured to Little Rock, where they visited the Territorial Restoration and the Federal Reserve Bank. At the Territorial Restoration, they saw Woodruff’s printing shop, a short film on Arkansas history, and more historic items. Students learned that at the Federal Reserve Bank, workers shred old money, sort checks, and distribute new money. “It was really exciting becoming a freshman. I thought about the fun we would have being the ones who would leave junor high,” said Monica Wynn. The class was looking forward to high school, but they would cherish the memories of junior high.

The first week was a trying time for their first year of junior high. After being around the other students, they finally felt at home. During pep rallies seventh graders were shy at the start of the season, but as the fall continued they ended with a blast. At the close of school, seventh graders were relieved to know that it was finally over and looked forward to the eighth grade. ££ Chris McGee Keith McGee Adriano McGhee John McKee David Maleski Calvin Mass Shelly Mass Patrick Neal Thanh Nguyen Beverly Nunally David Parker Julie Parnell Sonia Patrick Tammy Phelps Marvin Quinonez Jason Radcliff Phil Ramage Debbie Read Allan Reaves Tammy Rhodes Dana Schwope Tammy Self Larry Sherman Shawn Sides Amy Smith Connie Smith Kristi Smith Malcom Smith Nichelle Smith Joey Stanford John Sullivan Ryan Swift Amanda Tanner Glenn laylor Lynn Taylor Llizabeth Thomas 162 Junior high REGISTRATION IS made less lense by Mrs. Paula Branch as she fries to help Ihe seventh graders.

They included Danny Howard, Willie Click, Johnny Wilson, Frank Puryear, Linda Tate, Maye G. Davis, Malloy Freel and Bobby Keaster. Mr. Howard took language arts classes at Henderson State University and a school finance class at the University of Arkansas. He was working to receive his Ed. Specialist degree. During the year he taught a classroom management course to teachers from the surrounding areas. History, school law, driver education. language arts, and classroom management were the courses taken by Mr. Click. These courses would help him better his education for future years. Mr. Wilson was working toward an advanced degree by taking classroom management, language arts, and two computer courses. In order to get a coaching endorsement added to his teaching certificate, Mr. Puryear took social studies and physical education courses. Mrs. Tate said,“I am working on my master’s degree in general science by taking ecology and field biology, and taxonomy of plants and animals.” She also worked on a one- year independent study course entitled “A Study of Aquatic Insects and Macroinvertebrates of Howard County.” After completing a Shakespearean course at Henderson, two courses entitled “Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century Novels,” and one final seminar on comparative literature Maye G. Davis was to have met the requirements needed to obtain her master’s degree. “I thoroughly enjoy going to school; wish 1 had started back sooner, and plan to continue,” said Mrs. Davis.§ Faculty 165 CHEERING DURING a pep rally is Tammy Plaster. BAND AUXILIARIES include Christie llocka-day, Amy Harris, Nichell Smith, Kelly Chambers, Denisha Larey, Wendy Stuart, Cary Montgomery and Valerie VanVranken. 166 Junior high Pepping up the people THE BAND, cheerleaders and students all helped boost Scrapper spirit. Band members performed at all the home games except homecoming and one away game at Prescott. Drum major Valerie Van Ranken said, “We improved a lot since the beginning of the year, thanks to Mr. [Larry] Cross.” The band played “Rock It” during their halftime performance. Majorettes and flags were an important part of the band also. They worked hard on their routines for the season. Majorette Christie Hockaday said, “It was fun, and 1 learned a lot by being a majorette.” Along with the band came a new director, Mr. Cross. “It was tough at first, but everyone finally adjusted,” Wendy Stueart said. Cheerleaders were also a big part of keeping Scrapper spirit alive. With a lot of hard work and determination, they made it through the football and basketball seasons. Their sponsor, Mrs. Linda Tate, kept them working hard and on their toes. Making run-through posters, learning routines and building pyramids were just a few of their responsibilities. Tammy Plaster said, “I think all the cheerleaders did a great job, especially since there were so many new ones. There was a lot to learn, and they caught on extremely fast.” Jennifer Moore and Tammy had their work cut out for them. They were the only returning cheerleaders, so it was their job to teach everyone else all the cheers. Julie Gross said, “Being a cheerleader was a new experience for me and a most enjoyable one.” By the end of the season, all of the cheerleaders were good friends. Music, cheers and spirit were all part of school; and students were all a part of them. 7 think all the cheerleaders did a great job ■’ Tammy Plaster THE JUNIOR HIGH band builds spirit at a pep rally.

They not only want to be of service, but they know how to accomplish whatever they desire.” The Student Council members did their best for junior high students. Of- ficers included President Carrie Richard, Vice president Chris Webb, Secretary Cathryn Myers, and Treasurer Paul Myers. There were also two representatives from each grade. The members held meetings to plan each activity. They got into the holiday spirit by fixing special dinners at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Future Farmers of America learned to weld, work with woods and metals. They also completed work on the Agriculture Science Building. They had a judging meeting every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday night. The students were divided into six different divisions concerning Dairy Cows, Electricity, Livestock, Poultry, Meats and Mechanics. “Agri is an exciting challenge for girls or boys,” said Keith Couch. “I THINK it's neat that the junior high gets to participate more by having a separate chapter of FHA,” Brooke Herndon said. THE FFA includes (front row) Jamie Hile, Chad Jackson, David Hilliard, Eddie Daniel, Steve Spigner and J.D.

FHA had many activities, such as bake sales, selling stuffed animals and Valentine candy grams. They also sold gingerbread houses. The money that was earned was used to purchase a microwave for the department. “Home ec is for everyone because everyone is a consumer and homemaker,’’said Miss Tammy Elliott, the junior high home ec teacher. Home ec covered areas such as Foods and Nutrition, Consumer Education, Child Development, Housing, Personal Relationships, and Clothing and Textiles. Miss Elliott said that she enjoyed teaching and helping students learn to cook or sew when they thought they couldn’t. Mrs. Emma Smith, the secretary, said that she couldn’t handle the office without the office workers. The jobs of an office worker were answering the phone, picking up slips in the halls, and running errands for Mrs. Smith. They also ran errands for other teachers. “They are very dependable. I can always rely on them to carry the job assigned through to the end,” said Mrs. Smith about the 14 office workers.

COACH BILLY KEASTER sends in a play by Jay Worthington. Best team in years The season for the junior Scrappers was a rewarding one for the boys. “The kids did a tremendous job this year in practice and during the games. They showed an abundance of enthusiasm and spirit during the whole season,” said Coach Gene Simmons. The season started with everybody healthy, and then bad luck struck for the Orange and Black as injuries to key personnel set in. That dampened the hopes of a successful year. The season began at Scrapper Stadium against Horatio. It was a hard-fought game ending in a 0-0 tie. The highlight of the season was a 12-7 victory over the Curley Cubs of Prescott. The Scrappers showed promising signs with drives of 65 and 68 yards. The offense centered around quarterback Sam Ragar and tailback Jay Worthington. The key to a good rushing attack lay in a good offensive line. The offensive line was often labeled as the “unsung heroes of the team.’C r Scoreboard 0 Horatio 0 2 Dierks (forfeit) 0 12 Prescott 7 6 De Queen 7 0 Gurdon 24 0 Hope 7 7 Prescott 13 6 Ashdown Overall record 2-6 26 THE SCRAPPERS: (front row) Chris Thomas.

IT WAS an outstanding year for the junior girls, who ended the season with an 18-1 record. The team received three honors: runner-up in the Prescott Tournament, winner of the Lockcsburg Tournament, and 7-AA district champs. Coach Jan Segrest described these as the highlights of the season. “I expected a lot out of them since they were a team returning with plenty of experience and depth,” said Coach Segrest. Anna Coulter. Felicia Williamson and Kimberly May all had the same feelings about why the team did so well, saying, “We accomplished more this year because we worked together as a team. “We felt that we were really outstanding this year. We played together as a team and had confidence in ourselves. We feel that this was the reason we won the games we did.” Although their record was not as good as the previous year, the junior boys held their own with a 7-9 mark. Coach Bill Thigpen said he was extremely proud of the way they played, especially in the Lockesburg Tournament where they won second place. He felt they did very well for a team coming back with little experience. “At times we played up to our ability, but we didn’t have a lot of playing time backing us up,” said Anthony Armstrong.

Jeffery Edwards broke a school record in the 440 yard dash with a time of 53.7. “I’m glad we had so many people who got out there and gave 110 percent.

The mile relay team consisted of Larry Thrash, Jimmy Europe, Aaron Hickman, Edwards, Herbert Taylor, and J.J. White. A combination of these six boys brought home first place trophies from three out of five meets. The team was well represented in the middle distances by Raymond Newton and Chris Rowland, and in the shot and discus by Worthington, Jay Turley, John Westfall, and Tyson Feemster. For the girls, “Over all we had a good year. Since we didn’t have a lot of speed we compensated for it by doing well in the middle and long distances and in the shot and discus,” said Coach Tommy DeBlack. The middle distances were represented by Vicki Green and Paulette Williams in the 440 yard dash, and Kim Byers in the 880 yard dash. In the longer distances Kim Blakely was in the mile.

Scrapbook: The special group of students at NHS made a name for themselves in the community, but then the community itself was partly responsible. The hard-working parents and leaders of the community set an example for the students, and it really paid off. Students were active in church organizations, community fund-raisers, and countless clubs. Many students had jobs which provided a service to the community, and some students provided services to the community just in their spare time. The fair was always a big community event as well as the many parades that students participated in. Performances such as class plays or band concerts were a welcome source of entertainment and left students with many interesting memories. Yes, students made many memories in school; but they also made great memories in the community — where it really counts.

October found Beaird-Poulan receiving a safety award for 821,00 manhours of work without an accident. Low summer rainfall meant the city had to pump water from the Little Missouri River during October. A fund drive for the Howard County Children’s Center got underway. The fund drive continued in November and December, receiving $1,000 from Wal-Mart. County Clerk Dortha Mae Smith resigned in mid-December to move to Texas where her husband entered private business. In January the official state Sesquicentennial celebration began with the postal service issuing a stamp commemorating the Arkansas anniversary. A disaster drill in March involved students and local authorities. The drill was a success, emergency rescue workers said.

Never forget that you were in school when Arkansas’ new education standards were approved. Never forget the way patrons of the school district voted to tax themselves in order to build the facilities required by the standards. Never forget the positive attitude that the school administration and the community took about making education better in Arkansas and in Nashville. And never doubt that you will be called upon in your life to do something for education in whatever community you choose to call home. Good schools do not just spring from the ground.

Our High Yield Forestry works with Mother Nature to provide products, offer recreational opportunity, ensure wildlife habitat, protect watersheds and return oxygen to the atmosphere. This year every man, woman, and child will use the equivalent of a 100-foot tree — for building materials, paper, packaging and other products made from wood and wood fiber. Because trees are renewable, the nation’s needs can continue to be met. Through research, fertilization and thinning, our High Yield Forestry helps nature increase its output. And by planting more than 150 million seedlings and seeding thousands of acres annually, we help make sure the resource will be renewed for the future.

Schirmer Junior high advisers Connie Castleberry, Hollis Hughes Well, the year is almost over, and the last few pages arc being put together. It’s been a long year, but it brings a real sense of accomplishment. All of the work has produced a book that will hopefully please a lot of students. There were a few slow spots through the year; the missed deadlines can prove that. But in the end it was hard, steady work. Sometimes I think the last two weeks produced the best parts of the book. My thanks go out to the students who hung in there in the end. I also want to thank Mr. Schirmer for his patience through the year. Another big thanks goes out to Louie and Jane and everybody at the Nashville News. Without them, this book would have no copy and about half as many pictures. Thanks to Mr. Harley Martinelli, our Walsworth representative. He faithfully returned to remind us of the do’s and don’ts of journalism. He made regular visits to keep us on the right track. Thanks also to Mr. Martinelli for his understanding of missed deadlines. Thanks to Karen and the Tattler staff for the use of pictures and copy. Thank you to Mr. Horn for your cooperation throughout the year. Thanks also to Ramage Studio for their help with mug shots and group pictures. Thanks to Mrs. Castleberry, Mr. Hughes, and the junior high staff for their work this year. Tammy Young and Lea McAdams, thanks for typing the index pages. Thanks to Mrs. Pat Clingan for the art work on the cover, and thanks to all the businesses who supported us through their ads. Carla, good luck with next year’s book; you’ve done a good job on this one, and I’m sure you’ll have a super book. It’s been a long year, but it was worth it. Thanks to everyone, and good luck to next year’s staff. Mike Willard, Editor in chief 216 Editor's page Colophon The Scrapper was printed by Walsworth Publishing Co. in Marceline, Missouri.

Carla Cornish, Shelley White, Andrea Sweeden and Dawn Morris talk with Dave Christian of KZOU-98 radio station. Scrapbook: For the special memories Mrs. Ponder’s AP English class chose the painting “Persistence of Memory” for its class painting, and what a fitting title to represent this year for the whole school. No one could forget the giant toothpick presented to Mr. Horn at the awards assembly, or the exciting luau presented by the senior class, or the strange new look of halls without courtyards. Nobody could ever forget the special memories made at Nashville High School; the Scrap Book will make sure of that. 218 Closing mWALS WORTH PUBLISHING COM PA N Y I I � I
