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.

As the evening progressed, prom queen candidates were announced.

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.

Hot fun in the summertime Camps add variety to summer For many students the learning con- tinued outside of school, as they at- tended summer camps for special ac- tivities. An average day at band camp began at six a.m. with calisthenics and funda- mentals of marching the field. The band had morning practice sessions when they learned and practiced new positions of marching on the field. After lunch band members returned for some practicing on specific sections. Free time was spent canoeing, playing volleyball or playing an exciting game of boardwalk. After evening practices, special activities, such as pizza parties, lip syncs and dances, relaxed band members as the day ended. Each day at band camp brought more excitement to me, said senior band member Amy Briner. The more we learned, the more exciting It was. For the boys basketball camp, the day began at seven each morning with breakfast and a lecture by one of the coaches. Players then participated In morning tournaments. After lunch, they played more games, then focused on free time, which was spent either swimming, playing cards or just rest- ing. After dinner there were evening games. Around ten the coaches or- dered out food from fast-food restau- rants. The day ended with lights-out at eleven. It was a lot of fun getting to meet people and play against some of the best players in the state, said Trojan varsity basketball player David McAfee. Foursquare Gospel Church campers went to Wisconsin last summer. A typi- cal day began at seven with breakfast. Morning service was after breakfast. In the afternoon campers competed in sports activities. Free time was also in the afternoon. Evening service was at seven each evening, followed by Af- ter-glow . Lights-out was between ten and eleven p.m. Cheerleading camp was at the I.U. campus in Bloomington. An average day began at eight a.m. on the field with warm-ups. Cheerleaders prac- ticed cheers, chants, tumbling and pyr- amids. In the afternoons they attended workshops focusing on areas such as spirit, fundraising and squad unity. Dur- ing breaks squads purchased popsi- cles. NCCHS came in first for the most money spent on popsicles. Free time was spent practicing or resting. Eve- ning evaluations were at 6:30. Individ- ual squads were evaluated on all tech- niques, then they received ribbons for their placement. The day ended at 10:30. 10 c-
