FOREWORD This year was basically the same as any high school year; we studied, experienced moments of trial and error. School bonds were passed. There were games and dances; voices were hoarse from fans rooting and singing. There were brief moments of glory for some of us in sports, musical and dramatic productions. All shared the hopeless reality of examinations and deadlines, the semester grades, the noontime cafeteria rush. These impressions are only a few that were packed into this full year. Credit for the production of this book goes to the loyal VESPA Staff. The Staff, however, has furnished only the outlines of the story that we find when we turn these pages filled with warm smiles of friendship and many happy recollections. The rest is up to the individual. Underclassmen who return to NACHS in the fall will continue to keep up the high standards of the school and strive for improvement. Graduates will go their separate ways using the knowledge they have gained here to reach their goals. It is not today that you will appreciate the VESPA. Tomorrow, when it is not so easy to think back on 1986, we will treasure the memories this book has stored for us.

VESPA ’86 Volume 46 LIFE They told me that Life could be just what 1 made it— Life could be fashioned and worn like a gown; I, the designer; mine the decision Whether to wear it with bonnet or crown. And so I selected the prettiest pattern— Life should be made of the rosiest hue— Something unique, and a bit out of fashion, One that perhaps would be chosen by few. But other folks came and they leaned o’er my shoulder. Somebody questioned the ultimate cost; Somebody tangled the thread I was using; One day I found that my scissors were lost. And somebody claimed the material faded; Somebody said I’d be tired ere ’twas worn; Somebody’s fingers, too pointed and spiteful. Snatched at the cloth, and I saw it was tom. Oh! somebody tried to do all the sewing, Wanting always to advise or condone. Here is my life, the product of many; Where is that gown I could fashion—alone? NAN TERRELL REED NEW ATHENS COMM.
