The words we live by We the People of Nebraska City High School, in order to form a more perfect high school, insure respect of one’s peers and teachers, provide for an ac ceptable school atmosphere, and promote the learning of many subjects and skills, do ordain and establish this 1987-88 Pioneer Yearbook. The 1987-88 Pioneer Yearbook contains a historical sense throughout its pages. “The Words We Live By” was the theme selected by the members of the yearbok staff. The idea for the theme served as a commemoration of the Constitution’s 200th birthday. Since this occasion only happens once, we decided to capture the moment throughout the next 132 pages. This 42nd edition of the Pioneer can be considered a history book of sorts. But, instead of containing items such as the American Revolution or the Great Depression, we tried to capture all of the memories of Nebraska City High School. Athletics, dances, organizations, plays, and even the summer months are covered in NCHS’ own history book. Life at NCHS is a valuable and enjoyable step for everyone that attends classes here. Two reasons stand out why high school is a time to remember. The friends you have during these three Senior Janelle Marcotte rifles another pitch during a Nebraska City Rebel softball game this past summer.

Through all of the school days and weekends, you will never have friends like the ones you had In high school. Secondary education also prepares you for the future ahead. Although some areas of knowledge fade in and out of memory, the personal qualities such as pride, respect, and organization will never be forgotten. Thus, attending NCHS is not only a requirement, but also a privilege. Words and phrases are basic necessities of our everyday life. The first ten amendments set forth our basic rights that no one could live without. Words are also very important around the school scene on a daily basis. “Test on Friday” or “meeting during homeroom” are very common to us, but we usually take them for granted. Yet, they take up a great deal of our time, and are indeed words we live by. 2 Opening
