Spring fever hits seniors P O ' M: i «« 0 1- t HiCc As the desert moon shone on the sand below and the wind swayed the palm trees to and fro. couples danced the room in style to 1987 ' s Prom A Night on the Nile . Although the Prom went smoothly overall, students began their hectic preparation for what some considered a last minute decorating job just days before. Prom costs were estimated to be two to three thousand dollars, with some students adding their own contri- butions. Juniors Bill Cooley and Brian Judy prepared the blue chalk backdrop for pictures. As the evening progressed, prom queen candidates were announced. The coronation took an unusual twist as secretary of the junior class, Rachel Dalton. crowned junior Monica Stoots queen at the Henry County Memorial Hospital. Due to an emergency appen- dectomy. Monica was unable to attend the Prom ceremony, but that didn ' t stop family and friends from creating a special ceremony for her benefit. I was really sad that I couldn ' t go. but it made me realize what great friends I have. said Monica. I couldn ' t talk all night, all I could do was cry. Despite the lack of help or interest in preparation, everything ran like clock- work and presented the students of NCCHS a true Night on the Nile . A Pleasant Surprise . Junior Monica Stoots is overwhelmed with joy after being crowned queen of the 1987 Prom. Stoots, shown here with Mike Dankovich, was honored even though she spent the evening in the hospital recovering from an emergency appendectomy. 8

Activities add spice to life Summer vacation for many meant sleeping in late, laying out in the sun, staying out late in the evenings, and most importantly, having no home- work! Most students found that summer went quicker than they thought. Once again it was time to start shopping for clothes and school supplies. Sum- mer fun came to an end, and fall and school were just around the corner. Summer went very quickly, claimed senior Amy Burns. I did a lot of enjoyable things, but it seemed that just when summer was beginning it was time to go back to school. After summer vacation ended, many students felt that their fun was over too, but for some the fun was just beginning. For seniors, this represented their last year at NCCHS, but for sophomores, this was their year to beginning their high school career. Even with the school year beginning, many students didn ' t let that stand in their way of hav- ing a good time. There were a lot of activities to keep students busy when not in school. After school jobs ranked the highest, with sports and other extra-curricular activities a close second. Weekends provided the needed escape for stu- dents after a hard week of school. Activities ranged from Friday night dating, to Saturday night cruising and Sunday night homework. Student life at NCCHS proved to be an enjoy- able time for students even with homework, jobs, and studying. Nothing stood in the way of New Castle students when it came time to do work and weekends. THE CRUISING CROWD Many boring v eek- end nights came to an end once students began cruising Broad Street, Long tiours were spent roaming up and down the street conversing with friends and other cruisers.

A special rose for a special occasion Kim Gooding contemplates her future during the 1987 graduation ceremony. Graduation After many years of hard work, 340 members of the senior class finally re- alized a goal and a dream as they pa- raded into the fieldhouse one last time as NCCHS students. In a matter of min- utes these students were transformed into NCCHS alumni, ready to set new goals and dreams. The ceremony opened with the tradi- tional Pomp and Circumstance, played by the Symphonic band. Class salutatorian Linda Beck delivered a message entitled, Reaching Your Own Pike ' s Peak. Senior Brenna Maloney then spoke about Hunting for Ele- phants. Paul Crousore, NCCHS principal, then presented a diploma to each graduate. Royce Wilkinson was hon- ored as class valedictorian, and Beck was named salutatorian. The flower was the white rose tipped in blue, and the colors were royal blue and silver. Something worth waiting for Suzanne 7 ig- gins, Troy Wilburn and Royce Wilkinson hold proof of completing high school. 1987 Prom Court . Juniors April Roberts. Kristy Selm.

May Breakfast Our goals and dreams of today will open the doors of tomorrow, was the theme of May Breakfast 1987. It was also the topic of keynote speaker Sharan Alford ' s speech. Each year the Business and Profes- sional Women honor senior girls at May Breakfast. Last year ' s breakfast was on May 3 in Parkview cafeteria. The break- fast was served by girls from the junior class. The seniors entered with their moth- ers, passing through a hallway decorat- ed with memorable items from grade school. They then passed through the door of the future, which was decorat- ed with mannequins dressed in outfits representing different professions. The BPW then presented the girls with a white silk rose which they carried at graduation. Last year ' s court consisted of Stacey Fischer. Julie Phelps. Judy Sterns and DeAdra Tuggle. Lori Wilson was crowned queen of May Breakfast. It was a good time for seniors to get together, and it was a great time see- ing my best friend get crowned queen. said 1987 graduate Gina Weaver.
