Fall brings new looks to NCCHS 3 ; Fashion-minded flaunt new threads From acid jeans to cropped outfits, many varieties of clothing decorated the students for NCCHS. Cropped mini-skirt outfits were a big success this year. The student adviso- ry committee, however, voted to elimi- nate mini-skirts from the NCCHS dress code. Logos, stripes and plaids were popu- lar designs on outfits. I feel most comfortable in my pink I.O.U. mini-skirt outfit. It ' s original, but also unique, said senior Stephanie Vu- kadinovich. Acid washed jeans, purses, skirts, shirts and shoes were popular this sea- son, too. I.O.U., Forenza, Guess, Pasta and Palmetto. Many NCCHS students purchased jeans equipped with pre- torn holes. Other jeans were worn thin from the acid wash, and they were eas- ily torn. Someone asked me why I wanted to wear jeans that looked like they had been run through a washer a hundred times, and I said, ' because they look good ' , said junior Jason Blitz. A new flair in purses hit NCCHS after many received Liz Claiborne purses for Christmas. An array of colors, ranging from royal blue to tan, with any num- ber of designs, made the purses unique. Eastland shoes made a fashion break-through this year. The colors of the shoes, brown and tan, were matched with many colors and styles of socks. The shoes were popular with NCCHS students, and they were worn well with their outfits. Many people buy brand names spe- cifically under conspicuous consump- tion in order to impress people, but others do it simply because it comes naturally, said senior Lori Jones. I think the way people dress signi- fies a certain aspect of their personal- ity, said senior Kami Tyner. From ear-short to waist-long, hair styles have been boring and yet outra- geous. The football and swim teams both went all out by shaving a bald spot above their ears to set their fad for the season. Also, coloring was very popular this year. Many of the girls shaded their hair with tints of red and blonde highlights. As for the guys, spiking and crew cuts seemed to be the most pop- ular. Other male students went for the bleached out look. Yet some of the oth- er students in NCCHS decided that the colors green, pink, and jet black were the colors for them. 12 K . X.

Walk Like An Egyptian Sophomore Mandy Carpenter displays her away from home antics at cheerleading camp. Cheerleading As a senior, I really wanted our squad to win, but since the camp was so large and there were so many good squads, we didn ' t expect to win, so the thrill of winning was even greater, said senior Leigh Sweigart. At summer cheerleading camp the varsity cheerleaders took first place over all other varsity squads from across Indiana. On the final day of camp, the squads were evaluated for final competition . The top five squads in each division then competed in the final competi- tion. The top two squads advanced to National competition in Nashville, Ten- nessee. The NCCHS junior varsity squad re- ceived second place and continued to the nationals. Although the varsity cheerleaders were eligible to continue to Nashville, they elected not to com- pete. All Fired Up And Ready to Go Varsity cheer- leaders Karen Selm. Stefanie Shock. Leigh Swei- gart and Monica Stoots head off to summer camp at Indiana University in Bloomington. Kings sland Monkey See Monkey Do Sophomores Diana Horak and Chavonne Cole prove that band camp IS more than marching. Loop to Loop Many brave souis attempted this new, exciting roller coaster at Kings Island. This attraction was called the Vortex. Just across the state line, only two hours away, lay a fun-filled park full of rides, games, shops, and shows and restaurants. Many young people took time during the summer to enjoy the stomach turning rides and the different foods available at Kings Island. A famous attraction that had been at Kings Island for a couple of years was the White Water Canyon. This ride guaranteed that no one stayed com- pletely dry. Boats sailed down the riv- er, passing through obstacles such as fountains and waterfalls. The White Wa- ter Canyon was very popular during the hot summer days. One of the new attractions in 1987 was the Vortex. This roller coaster ride was full of many twisting, turning loops. Another new attraction somewhat like a roller coaster was a special movie theatre. The films shown made a per- son feel as if he was actually moving. Hanna Barbara Land was an area for children. Other areas offered rides and games for the teenagers. Adults en- joyed the rides and games as well as the variety shops and shows available on the International Street. Kings Island provided something fun for the whole family. Summer 11

Lace Em ' Up . towards fashion socks. Eastland shoes are a step up with many different colored Our Town No, we were not talking about our own New Castle, IN. We were talking about Our Town, the fall play, on No- vember 20-21. Many students were already fannlliar with Our Town since it was in junior English literature books. The play deals with death and how people are con- cerned with little things in life but don ' t think about the future, about life itself. According to play director Nancy Thomas, the cast spent about 85 hours in rehearsal for the play. Thomas also had her share of work doing things such as interpreting scenes and selecting costumes. I rent costumes, buy from Goodwill, borrow costumes, and sometimes I steal cos- tumes, she said . Thomas said, This play is a favorite of mine.

New look at NCCHS A project estimated at $700,000 was approved and was underway at the high school and Parkview Junior High. Six sites lead the eight task combina- tion rejuvenation of the two schools. First, construction began on the brick CHS on the bus loading plat- form. Demolition of the press box. located atop the football field began in early November. The press box ' s demise sparked a two-pronged plan for Huffman Field. In addition to a newly built press box. restroom accomodations were to be added. These two accessories were to enhance the earlier placement of a new scoreboard. The Huffman Field renovation project also included the construction of new exterior bricks, due to the exposing of base brick. Other plans included remodeling the girl ' s gym floor and adding bleachers. Bundy Auditorium was to see changes, also, with the addition of new equip- ment. In addition, new equipment was be- ing purchased through the repair and replacement funds for Bundy Auditori- um programs. 13
