Photo by David Toller, Shivering with shimmer stormed the hallways Not only did students look forward to the winter season because of Christmas, snow, and the exciting new year to come, but winter clothes and accessories also be came an important part of the season. A lot of girls wore the ever-popular ba- nana-clips in their hair. Many wouldn ' t be caught without their high-top boots, which they wore with socks pushed down and pants tucked in. Another hot craze turned out to be oversized sweaters paired with stretch pants. Guys ' fashions brought in Guess jeans. Shirts by Guess, Generra. and Coca-Cola also hit the fashion spotlight. Traditionally, oxford and flannel shirts still showed up on the guys ' Christmas lists. Although New Castle doesn ' t claim to be New York or Los Angeles, one can still see some high class fashions at NCCHS. Winter 19

Christmas at NCCHS proves to be a sharing experience for all Christmas was a time for sharing, singing, eating, etc. Of course, all of these things took place at NCCHS. This year brought in some new activities for everyone to experience. Everyone went to the ail-new Hills and Ball Stores to shop for their Christmas gifts. The two new stores opened in the late fall and provided New Castle with a few more nice shopping places. And speaking of shopping, it seemed as though everyone had their minds on teddy bears this Christmas. All through the halls, one could see the popular holiday bears in the form of sweatshirts, pins, or stuffed animals. The Christmas convocation brought some cheer when it took place Decem- ber 17 in Bundy Auditorium. The band played many Christmas songs while the different choir groups sang harmonizing tunes in honor of the holiday season. For the finale, both the band and choir worked together by playing and singing The Messiah. The Senior Citizen ' s Buffet sponsored by the Youth Advisory Council turned out to be an excellent way to share good tidings with the community. The students and senior citizens dined together in the candlelit cafeterias. Once again. Social Studies teacher, Jerry Koger held the Christmas party given for the Head Start children. Students in Kogers ' Sociology classes adopted a child for the evening and bought him her a gift. Everyone agreed that a lot of joy came from this event. Christmas is a happy time and students and staff celebrate it in style. Each new year brings in different activities for the holidays. Finals give some students satisfaction; others fury The concept of testing 90 hours of learning in one class hour seems cruel and inhumane. But, come the middle of January, students sit and stare blankly at one-fourth of their semester grade — FINALS. The streets become deserted and the phone lines free as students fill their bed-tops with books and notes, cramming four months of information into their minds. Why? Senior Tracy Morrison says, It ' s like one more chance to prove to yourself that you ' ve learned something. However, others inevitably feel finals give teachers just one more chance to prove how seldom students did pay attention during class. PURE EXCITEMENT . . .

Student Government and other volunteers open ' The Gates of Heaven for students Winter Dance was hard to accomplish, but with our hard- working Student Government members, we were able to make it successful. — Judy Gregory Surrounded by blue skies, billowing clouds, and bright stars, couples at Winter Dance enjoyed a heavenly evening. This year ' s theme, in fact, reflected upon that celestial night as couples walked through The Gates of Heaven . Student Government sponsored the dance held in the girl ' s gym, and put many hours of hard work into it to make it unfor- gettable. Five hundred students attended the dance. The cost of the dance was $8.00 per couple. Most of the girls bought the tickets and pictures, but the guys paid them back by taking them out to dinner afterwards. The couples danced to the mu- sic of Larry Black of Dance and Video Pro- ductions. Student Government members decorat- ed the hallways with blue-colored paper with stars, angels, harps, and clouds sprin- kled over them. Silver and blue streamers hung from the ceiling. Reigning over the dance were seniors Dena Silvers and Eric Stiening. Members of the queen ' s court were seniors Kelly Harvey and Julie Hayes; juniors Monica Stoots, Kristy Selm and Shane Stone; and sophomores Amy Caylor, Jennifer Hayes and Traci Thalls. Members of the king ' s court were seniors Aaron Taylor and Troy Wilburn; juniors Scott Fields, Lance Knotts and Jason Haynes; and sophomores Bob White, Doug Bishop and Shane Folkner. When asked what he thought about be- ing on the court, senior Troy Wilburn re- plied, I was really surprised! I ' ve never been on the court before and now I have something to remember about the 1987 Winter Dance. The annual event proved to be memora- ble not only because of the couples who attended, but also because of the hard work Student Government put into it. MAY I HAVE THIS DAMCE? . .
