Euerybodjfs favorite sport The Dating Game by Alex Walden What social activity relieves the monotony of school life? Dating! Ask anybody and you will get that answer. Dating is a common ground shared by many students. Most of the time, students look for certain character traits in a person before they consider a serious relationship. Cynthia Harper said that she Hlooktedj for a good personality in a per- son who is also attractive. Shawn Gusti looks for the same type of things in a girl. He also likes someone who is fairly sports-minded and who is appreciative of the time that he and she have together. Unusual dates were a commmon topic among students. Cynthia remembers once when her first blind date was with someone she soon learned not to enjoy being with. He was much different that I expected, she said. Shawn was interested in dat- ing Sallie Davis before she was allowed to go out. After she was allowed to go out, they went to Nada's for a bite to eat. I played the jukebox the whole night-the same song, in fact. Lisa Tyler chan- ged the subject to comment on her most wonderful date. I was with two guys, but I was unsure about which one I actually had the date with. I went with both of them. To most students, persona- Iity is the most important fea- ture in a person. But a few other students thought that politeness, courtesy, and intel- ligence had to be considered. Many students believe that these things allude to creati- vity in a date. ,f ,.r, m.n

we iw'-ng 5 t While eating lunch, this group enjoys a joke. Students look forward to lunch as the longest time to socialize with friends who have different schedules. Finishing lunch outside, these guys enjoy the day while catching up on what's going on. Many cliques gather in the courtyard to talk about school and to make plans for the weekend. Clickety Cliques by Nadine Derowitsch and Brian Hodges Click...ummm...No! Clique. Cliques. A clique is defined as a small group usually bound together by a common thread of interest. High school students are famous for clique association, but there is one difference in the typical high school and NKHS. You might ask, What is that difference? The biggest variation is that here, cliques are permeable. While one may be part of the college-bound academically, they may also be part of the vocational socially. Sound like something new? Not really. There's the rapp clique, the l-don't -want-to-do-anything today clique, the academic clique, the athletic clique, the l'm -my-own-person clique, and the l'm-in-every -clique clique. So what happens? Well, all through high school we drift in and out of them and then finally after that period of our lives is over, they eventually dissolve. Don't get me wrong. Friends don't dieg cliques just mesh. it K 'hwvf ri x 2 K , Q as ' ,W jj ' ig 2 ij 4,g : ,,.v d 55' ,iel my b',N4r'g K, w M i f J: ,.N .. rs 1 'i s ..
