What Happene d? What happened in 1982-83? It's a difficult question. In the people area, 1982-83 starred Jacob Bach, an exchange student from Denmark who lived with Betsy ludwick for his year in America. Another student who achieved fame was Heath Wilson, who became a member of the Jr. Ski Patrol at Eldora. A major event this year and every year was the Close-Up program for student explorations into government. Many school activities were organized by student council. A homecoming pep assembly was held the afternoon before the dance and featured introductions of the football and volleyball teams, sei 3 homecoming royalty announcements, class fy 1- , X-at N!! calls Cof course! , and class skits. .-1 ' V i HNuclear War: A day of discussionu was , . t gva-1 ' 5 an exciting and new event designed to inform students about nuclear arms and their effects, and to allow students to express their opinions These, along with many other exciting EEK i.-3f-e- M XA?-M events, helped keep the students from getting the Schoolwork Blues.

Friend- ship beads were something new to Nederland, and were seen mostly in middle level. Towards the be- ginning of the year, leg warmers became the rage, only to be replaced by miniskirts following the onslaught of the valleygirl movement and warmer weather. Along with the widespread popularity of punk and new wave music came dyed hair, and throughout the year streaks of blond, pink, blue, and purple were to be found on the heads of Nederland students. The freshmen introduced the Virgil Ding, the practice of saluting the bells in NHS. It was at it's peak close to the middle of the year, and still survives in isolated corners of the school. And then there were the people fads: Tom Selleck, Charles and Di and little Prince William, Tootsie, and the Smurfs. And who can forget E.T., the Spielberg alien who made one movie and then suddenly began appearing on everything from lunch boxes to underwear? 1982-83 also brought such things as futuristic computers, a new Star Wars movie, the Colorado Lottery, and Chicken McNuggets courtesy of good ol' McDonalds.
