WE LEFT OUR MARK... The summertime always seems to fly by before we know it. There will always be the memories of what we did throughout our summer, and this page is here to reawaken those memories and share what some students spent their summer doing. IN DENVER ... A National Youth Conference was held July 4-8 in Denver, Colorado. N.C. students attending were: Joanna Schmidt, Jennie Pizzolato, Amy Ferris, Kris- ten Klein, Nicole Kai, Kim Wells, Sam Cameron, and Beth Long. The 5,000 teenagers who attended were in- volved in such activities as door to door evangelism, downtown musical outreach, and ministries in hospi- tals and rest homes. Josh McDowell, Buster Soar- ies, Ron Hutchcraft, and Dave Busby were among the favored speakers. Kenny Marks, Geoff Moore, 4 . IN AUSTRIA... Niki Wagner, a senior, made her mark in Austria this summer. She and another friend, Dina, spent June 17-August 10 in Vienna and Salsberg, Austria. She was a nanny for a family who was in- volved in Campus Crusade for Christ Ministry of Kearney, Ne. Niki, Dina, and other college students would get together and do beach witnessing and outreach. She saw where ‘‘The Sound Of Music’ was filmed, saw a Mozart concerto, and visited the For- tress in Salsberg. Talking to Russians, Romanians, Poles and Germans broadened her knowledge of communist countries. ‘After being at N.C. | learned not to take my parents for gran- ted. When | was in Austria, | didn't get mail or phone calls from friends or family for two months. | learned to depend on God for everything more than ever before, and the friendships | had be- came more real and important to me. | learned how great we really do have it in America and how I've taken it for granted. Another big lesson | learned was how we Americans think it is such a ‘big sacrifice’ to accept Jesus as our Savior because of peer pressure from friends. In the communist countries, if one becomes a Chris- tian, it's a matter of life and death, acceptance into a university, or even getting food. ’ and Pat Hurley were featured at the concert at Red Rocks Amphitheater. We were encouraged to share ‘HIS-STORY’ as we ‘made history’ in our own parts of the world, and to go M.A.D. (Make A Difference) for Jesus. It was a week that will never be forgotten and a great expe- rience for those who attended. The impact of the en- tire week was so overwhelming, it is hard to desribe itin words. If you ever have a chance to go to a youth conference like this, | really encourage you to do so. — Amy Ferris Josh McDowell IN OUR JOBS ... The majority of the students spent their summer working for their parents on farms, ranches, or other jobs. Some spent their time working at Pizza Hut, Burger King, Perkins, Hy-Vee, Ace Hardware, and Conoco, while others worked as counselors at camps, babysat, detasseled or rogued in beanfields. All work and no fun? Not really. Even though there's usually not much time for extra things plus a job, some students remarked that they went swimming, layed out (fun?), or went out with friends for entertainment. All in all, it was an eventful summer, one not to be forgotten.

Underclassmen are still ‘“‘making the mark” as they strive to better themselves each passing year. Opportunities arise each day to improve the marks they make as they interact with fellow students, complete work jobs and homework, and participate in sports. , MM S hy , WD UNDERCLASSMEN 9
