Students see concerts and turn ‘preppy’ (continued from page 2) Despite the tight economy, students still found the money to attend many concerts in Omaha and Lincoln, such as Loverboy, Ozzy Ozbourne, Journey, and Foreigner. The local movie theatre continued to show many current movies, including “On Golden Pond,” “Endless Love,” “Neighbors,” and “Arthur.” In their spare time, students spent the hours “rocking with Z-92” or listening to all the “bumper to bumper music” on Sweet 98. Some popular songs included “Centerfold, by J. Geils, “Our Lips are Sealed by the Go-gos, and “Physical” by Olivia Newton-John. On television, “General Hospital” was probably the most favorite among soap watchers, followed by “All My Children,” One life to Live,” and “Edge of Night.” “Dallas” was still a popular favorite during prime time. In fashion trends, NCHS found itself turning “preppy.” Izod alligator shirts, wool skirts worn with kneesocks and flat shoes, and button-down shirts filled the halls during the winter and fall. Speaking of the winter, students also found themselves just trying to survive the terrible winter of 1982. Record-breaking temperatures of 30 degrees below zero and windchill indexes of close to 70-degrees below zero were common in January and early February. Thick layers of ice and snow covered the sidewalks and streets of Nebraska City for almost six weeks after Christmas, making driving virtually impossible, much less getting in and out of the parking lot. 1981-1982 may have been the year for Reaganomics and neutron bombs, but for all of us at NCHS, it was a spectacular school year. 4 You Heard it from a Pioneer Corey Orton struggles to gain control of a jump shot during a reserve basketball game against Plattevlew.
