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

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.

Snowfall brings winter activities Winter Dance: Winter Wonderland It went really well. 1 think everyone liked it. said Student Government President Vicki Owens about this year ' s Winter Dance. The theme of the dance was Winter Wonderland . The luminous walkway and picturesque scenes transformed the Parkview gym into a wintery night indoors. King Mike Bennett and Queen Shane Stone reigned over the dance. They were chosen by the student body early in January. The court consisted of sen- iors Phil Poor and Monica Stoots; jun- iors Kelly Craft. Jennifer Hayes, Traci Thalls and Bob White: and sophomores Tony Cronk. Corissa Shaw, Dan Sme- kens and Amy Saunders. The dance, which was sponsored by the student government, cost approxi- mately $2200. Owens said. It went rather smoothly. There was a lot of hard work, but it wasn ' t as big a hassle as I thought it would be. Owens also said, I was realy happy with the people who helped with deco- rating. It didn ' t take nearly as long as it has in the past. The location of the dance changed from the girls gym to Parkview gym because of construction. It was a lot better than I thought it would have been, said senior Jenny Franklin. ' When it was announced that it was going to be in Parkview gym, a lot of people thought it wouldn ' t be as good. I liked it just as well in Parkview, said junior Ronita Dinkins. I thought It looked better in Park- view, said senior Julie Renner. The location of the dance didn ' t seem to alter the traditional winter dance atmosphere. Student govern- ment did a great job, said sophomore Shelly Bell. It was a night to remem- ber. It was really a lot of fun, and I had a great time. said senior Krista Cham- bers. Many couples chose to go out to din- ner either before or after the dance. Going out to eat after the dance makes the whole night even more memorable. said senior Angle Mor- gan. Winter dance was very special be- cause I went with a very special some- one, said senior Monica Stoots. As a senior, I really enjoyed my last winter dance. As Winter Dance came to a close and all of the balloons and streamers were taken down, the winter wonderland was converted back into its original state. Many NCCHS students left with sweet memories that will last a life- time.
