Here's it W looking at . . . W LIVING Student activities promote growth Band, jobs, commencement, Senior Night Club, dating, summer activities, prom: these were just a few things that played an important part in a student's life. Taking a closer look at these aspects revealed that each contributed to the growth of an individual in a different way. At NCCHS the growth was evident. Jobs - not everyone liked them, and they were not always fun, but they were very important in everyone's life. Many students had jobs for many reasons. College, a car or just having spending money were some of the major reasons for working. Jobs also helped one attain more responsibility and maturity by teaching time and money management. Being a member of the NCCHS band meant not only being a musician, but also making friends, developing talents and learning things. For a senior, commencement and Night Club gave one a chance to reflect back on high school with memories of both good times and bad. Summer provided students with a much needed vacation and time to experience new people and places, perhaps time to get a temporary job or just time to rest! These aspects and more were big parts of almost every student's life. New Castle students grew with the help of such activities. Here's looking at the aspects of a student's life.

M days of prosperity. Instead, citizens joined together to keep their city alive. When other cities felt there was no hope left, New Castle people adopted the attitude of not giving up on making their future happen. Although most families certainly felt the result of unemployment or inflation, rather than moving away, they stayed to work together at finding a solution to their pfoblems here. Some families found a solution to their problem by taking part-time work at restaurants, stores or anyplace else work was available. The spirit of New Castle was fully displayed when a Staying in Business sale took place September 24 and 25, to commemorate the many businesses that stayed in the city throughout troubled times. Some of these businesses were J.C. Penney's, Brammer-Jacob Furniture Company and Weiland's Flowers. The city's bus system, New Castle on Wheels CNGWJ, celebrated its first year with great success. The buses carried over 70,000 riders. This figure was much higher than the transportation department predicted. There were approximately 260-300 riders daily, with elderly persons and handicapped making up 48 percent of that total. People had faith in what New Castle could accomplish despite troubled times and the state of the economy. Pedple joined together to make the town a better place to live and work in. The new Amerian flag on the corner of state roads 3 and 38 perhaps best signified the pride and dedication the New Castle community displayed. The flag was a symbol of hope for a strong community. All in all, it was a year of introspection, evaluation and positive action. The citizens of this town showed their extreme spirit and pride. The community's willingness to survive showed a resiliency in its people that was worth taking a closer look at. To New Castle and NCCHS, here's looking at you! Number One . . . The first anniversary celebration of the N.0.W. buses was a prime example of how a positive approach to community problems can help many citizens.
