Secondary 2 faculty IS Support Personnel 20 School Hoard 21 Elementary 22 Mallei s and Sagies Make Joint Appearance Not only was 1986 the year of the Eagle, it was also the year of the Com- et. Halley's Comet made its passage around the sun and around the earth after 76 years. Ness City Eagles made their marks in 180 days, studying or playing from August 26,1985, to May 23, 1986. The Comet, frozen particles of dust and gas, is a member of the solar sys- tem. Ness City High School, 108 strong, is a member of the WKEA league, and Ness City Grade School, 261, is a member of Qua-Valley. Four hundred forty-six people comprise USD No. 303, Ness County School District. The Comet and the Eagle are unique. Both are reoccurring — the Comet in 2062, the Eagle in 1987. 2 People

Seniors in Action Work for Zomorrow Twenty-nine seniors were in the class of '86. One class member, Grete KvaLo, a foreign exchange student from Bergen, Norway, was hosted by Warren and Mary Lou Hall, Ness City. The seniors were sponsored by Bob Vavricka. They were led by Rob Clouston, President; Traci Winter, Vice-President; Justina Johnson, Secretary Treasurer; and Sean Ries, Stuco Representative. Since this is the year of the comet, some seniors were asked, What does it mean to be graduating in the year of Halley's Comet? Re- plies were People will remember the year of 1986; it will be special, and I'll enjoy looking back at it. ... It makes us feel like the stars of the school. ... It is special, because people will remember our class when they look back at 1986. Grete explained the differences be- tween American and Norwegian schools — The school day begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 1:50 p.m. We have six hours; each is 45 minutes long, with ten-minute breaks be- tween classes that are on a rotation schedule from Monday to Friday. Lunch period is forty minutes and students may go to a store, bring lunch, or buy milk or yogurt, be- cause there is no cafeteria. A stu- dent goes to high school for three years before going to college. Let- ters are used for grading in the high school: S=A, M = B, G=C, NG=D, LG = F and numbers 5 to 1 are used for college grades. As the school year ended, the sen- iors were excited about graduation. Commencement was a happy, but sad occasion, because each senior would be going his or her separate way. Every senior had plans to go to college or to work, or as in Grete's case, she was planning to resume her second year of her col- lege education. Darin E. Robinson Penny Jo Wise Curtis D.
