 4? Rated PG-87 ... You ought to be a SENIOR! Seniors this year could hardly be rated less than superior. Each senior class leaves its mark at NCHS. This year both individuality and unity made the class of 1987 unforgettable. No matter what they had or what they didn't have, they always made the best of it. It was a time to look into the future and make decisions on college and careers. Yet most seniors were mainly concerned with making their senior year the best ever, to be with friends, and to have a great time. What is it really like to be a senior? There are things about me you wouldn’t understand, things you couldn’t understand, things you shouldn’t understand.” - Pee Wee Herman Seniors 5

The woods classes seemed to work very diligently on the year as they provided the east commons area with new benches and they constructed two new centers for the office. Throughout the winter months most students enjoyed spending their time bowling on Saturday mornings in league, going hunting, going to movies or once again casually cruising the downtown area. Most students on the whole found themselves outside much more than normal because of the mild temperatures. We hope you have enjoyed what you have seen so far. So sit back, relax and enjoy the movie.
