A Perilous Journey Through Blue Devil Countryw is an introduction to what makes N.H.S. a very special place in the geography of Gwinnett County. Tour Norcross High School with us and meet the people who make up the school. Perhaps you'll see yourself. In our article Natives in Combat, we have ex- plored the often primitive, always spirited, athletic endeavors of Norcross Blue Devils. When you read our in-depth coverage on the teams, coaches, sup- porters, winfloss records, and personality introspec- tives, you'll discover why we found these Natives,, to be part of a superior tribe. As has always been the tradition of this publication, emphasis has been placed on the Senior Class as it travels toward its Goal at the End of the Trail. The article on Norcross, seniors will prove the dominance and driving spirit of the Class of 1983, along with some inside looks into the life of a graduating senior in today's changing world. Behavioral scientists have long noted the impor- tance of studying group patterns, and through our in- spection of Society and Culture of a Rare Breed, have found some important aspects of Norcross High School. From small groups such as the Chess Club and the Photography Club to large organizations such as Marching Band and the Student Council, the peo- ple who lead the organizations, the sponsors who give their time and expertise to these groups, and the members themselves exemplify the benefits of involve- ment and commitment. Deep in the middle of the Heartland', you will find the pulsebeat of Norcross High School. The underclassmen in grades 9, 10, and ll are developing their interests and abilities to prepare themselves for their important senior year and the life to follow. Adlandia will provide you with an interesting look at the commercial world which supports this school and its activities. This is a land populated by world they will face upon graduation. The government of Adlandia is benevolent and provides ample oppor- tunity to many N.H.S. students. As editors, we hope you will find this Exploration a sensible search into the reality and fantasy of Nor- cross High School. If Norcross Geographic is a suc- cess, it is so because Norcross High School is such an alive, spirited and interesting place through which to journey. QWMRWQJ Q, I QL' NUC ' YW fy U!

While the cafeteria has always seemed an obvious center of activity, the patio adjacent to the dining area has become somewhat of a cross-cultural phenomenon. Virtually every type of student imaginable may be found on the patio. Weather does not seem to be a determining factor - heat or cold will not deter conversations, debates, or even an occa- sional argument The courtyard, with its familiar bell tower tsee cover ll- lustratlonl, has been a well-known center of socialization for years It has, however, taken on a new dimension with the dramatic increase in enrollment Oldtlmers and newcomers as well spend between and before class time talking in what has become a veritable hub of activity 2 l a ,.. ...i l - Mrs. Williams lecturing, in her unusual manner, to her 3rd period Junior English class. 2 - Rhonda works hard on getting schedule changes done to please others. 3 - Fred Rohrbach filling the coke machines during P.E. 4 - Kay and Annette try to hide Robin from the animals of N.H.S. 5 - Brice Salle tries to figure out his schedule. 6 - Jeff Temme studies in the library before a major test. 7 - Blue Devils say: WE ARE FAMlLY!! 13 El ,wa uslff Students are found milling around lockers, shov- ing just one more book into a cubicle that is shared with at least two other students! Although hallways are as popular as ever with the student body, a recent addition to the gathering places has been the parking lot between the gym- nasium and the athletic field. Part of the excite- ment this year has been the presence of the Atlanta Falcons football team, relieved of their regular facilities by the NFL players' strike. The first few days were filled with autographs and handshakes, which then settled into almost blah acceptance of the honorary students fas many of the Falcons were calledj No area of the campus has been more noticed than the bus area, also known as Trailer City I addition to the portable classrooms, dozens of old and new buses fill the parking lot during the after- noon hours Space IS such a premium that buses are literally bumper to bumper, creating a maze for the departing scholars Added to this confusing sight is a newly renumbered parking area for faculty immediately adjacent to the portables It ls, at times, a spectacle worthy of any Hollywood producer I 225- Q vi'-,-' Y' 2 ax, I manly,- ' 3 fi:-so f' 5 MMM X Q Aff' is 2 hs , 4 ,, a s .N is l E sf' I if .

Activities have been developed to include a broad spectrum of student interests. Student Council initiated a series of dances, hosted by well-known D.J.'sq new clubs such as the Fellowship of Christian Athletes have been organized and made a concerted effort to recruit membersg and by accident rather than by intent, the hallways themselves have en- couraged the formation of new friendships by keeping student bodies closer together to certain crowded passageways. 1 - Ms. Westaway takes a break between classes. 2 - Morris Harris watches as his teammates fight for VIC- TORY over a Friday night opponent. 3 - What planet H has visited a Norcross pep rally? 4 - ls this what is called STUD ROW? 5 - Liz Chandler works on a Chemistry lab. 6 - Bill Thompson and his lovely group of girls. tWhat's your secret BilI?J 7 - ls Bill seeking help on an assignment? 5 ., S ft ft We-U H 5: A Q ' A 5 213' Q6 I , .,,..,,,,, V Ilvil I A 6 A 7 .?7L,' Qffx X .

The first of the two is Mrs. Gail Middour. Mrs. Middour came to N.H.S. four years ago, when the class of '83 were just starting out as freshmen. When asked what she thought about this year's graduating class she replied, I con- sider them to be my class and extra special. Mrs. Middour is very involved in the everyday lives of many N.H.S. students. She's a counselor to many a problem and heartbreak, a mender of broken friendships, a sounding board when a stu- dent needs to let off a little steam, and just a very good friend. Many students have said that just seeing her smile at the end of a crowded hallway lifts their spirits alittle more. Outside of school, she has a very fulfilling life. She takes care of her new husband of three years, and her dog, Buffy. She's very involved in sports, besides skiing, she is also the Girls' Tennis Team coach. She also is known for substituting as cheerleading sponsor and team mother for a lot of sports. This year's Spectrarama staff would like to con- gratulate Mrs. Gail Middour on a job well done. 30 sf Ui ,f ' 1 fffjs ..

'Dt The second special person the yearbook is dedicated to is Coach Jerry Raines. Coach Daddy Raines as many girls call him, has been head football coach and athletic director at N.H.S. for six years. He has also had to fill in as a baseball coach, 9th grade girls basketball coach when no one else was available. When asked what his favorite thing about N.H.S. was he replied, The relationships, between the students, and the students and faculty. The people with the most respect for Coach Raines, themselves, and others would have to be the football players and those associated with them. He has taught each group of players something different through the years, this year's team learned that, TOGETHER WE CAN! When several players were asked to comment they all replied basically the same, Coach Raines has taught athletes at N.H.S. to strive for more than ex- pected, to reach down for that extra deep down. Even those not involved with athletics agree that he has brought that extra umph to N.H.S. Not only do students turn to him for classes needed, ice for a hurt, or to get a better way to do something, but teachers are also known to run to him for help. They needed an ice cooler for a day, sports equipment for a game, or that most famous request, Can the, use your van to go... From the drama club to F.H.A., all seek his help for something. Thanks Coach Raines for being there. 31 -www .V MMQXH . , ,, ww , mi jviy'ww3 , fCfgf2nQ'Q,,,NM 251.204 ,M-4593 L -wma --1 Q N a t i v e s C o m b a t 1 - John Greiner and Randy Salmon watch with great concern. 2 - The Blue Devils are ready for action. 3 - Coach Raines has the spirit. 4 - Bobby Singer takes a break. 5 - Richard Sosebee makes a great stop. 6 - Aleck Gilner is pleased with the outcome of the game. 7 - The team bursts through the spirit banner prepared for a victory. 8 - Morris Harris rushes for a touchdown.

The first touchdown was made by Shelley Poole and the second by Morris Harris which was a thrilling 78 yard run. Charles Delles, Randy Salmon, and Richard Sosebee skillfully played the defen- sive line. The Devils walked away with their first victory and from it, the promise of success was in the air!! BERKMAR - NHS Blue Devils played a very com- petitive game against Berkmar. It was the heart breaker of the season. Norcross was leading 20-15 in the fourth quarter, but Berkmar scored a touchdown in the final minutes of the game, which resulted in 20-21 loss. But the game was one of those classics where interceptions, long throws, distant runs, time factors, and anticipation held the roaring crowd's attention from breath to breath. Elbert Manning, Morris Harris, Shelley Poole, and Clay Ogata each scored. Even though the game was not victorious for NHS, it helped to boost the spirit of competition and the desire to win the forthcoming games. DULUTH - Another spectacular game was played at Duluth in which the Blue Devils won 42-12. After that heartbreaking loss against Berkmar, the Norcross team flamed through the entire game at Duluth. Shelley Poole, Elbert Manning, Clay Ogata, Alec Gilner, Wes Burton, Chuck Gray, and Mike Waits all scored. PARKVIEW - The Blue Devils performed with perfec- tion, winning against Parkview 41-14. Despite the bitter cold, a large crowd turned out to cheer the game on. Shelley Poole led the team in rushing. He had 19 carries for a tremendous 226 yards. Elbert Manning and Wes Bur- ton also did great jobs carrying the ball. CENTRAL GWINNETT - Half into the season, the Var- sity Blue Devils came out as the victor in a tremendously played game. Elbert Manning rushed 238 yards in 21 car- ries and Shelley Poole rushed 144 yards in 26 carries.

The promise of success had finally become a reality! GAINESVILLE - The team's effort was outstanding, but un- fortunately not enough to defeat Gainesville. 3-39 was the final score. Shelley Poole, Morris Harris, Elbert Manning and Rick Cheek all rushed for a total of 146 yards. The whole team did an excellent job. Clay Ogata kicked a field goal for NHS' only score of the game. WINDER BAPROW - The whole week's preparation for the Homecoming had put the NHS crowd in good spirits. The Dress-up Days , pep-rally, and the fun parade through the city NPGM-5'.sr P-J! HDTBALI A10 of Norcross during that week had become a memory. With the field decorated with the artistic floats and the pretty ladies of the Homecoming Court, the team was ready for a fine game.

The victory was an important one in the decision of who should go to the play-offs. The team definitely deserved the great win. NORTH HALL - Two nights before Halloween, the Blue Devil Team took a trip to North Hall and won the game 27-0. It was the second to the last game of the season and a deciding game for a play-off position. The NHS Varsity Team played tough under fine direction of the coaches, and rounded up a clean cut win. Rick Cheek, a sophomore, played extremely well that night. Elbert Mann- ing, Shelley Poole, Morris Harris, and Dan Dubay each scored 6 points, and Clay Ogata kicked for 3 points.

Now, the great task of readying the team for the play-offs began. MADISON - The big night had finally come. Anticipation filled the air as the crowd anxiously awaited for the game to start. After win- ning the four previous games by large margins, the Devils were in for a good game. Shelly Poole ran 27 times for 130 yards. Elbert Mann- ing, Morris Harris, Rick Cheek, Mike Ledford, Alec Gilner did excep- tionally well. Everyone worked extremely hard to get this far and the team effort was tremendous. This was without a doubt one of the best played games of the season, but the only score was made by Bobby Singer. lt ended the game with a 7-8 score. In conclusion, the 1982-83 Varsity Football Team did an almost picture perfect job. They accomplished an 8-2 regular season record and made the play-offs. Great talents, who are now bound to the road of success, were part of the team. Almost 5005 of the time, the Blue Devil Team shut out the opponents. The top leading scorers were Shelley Poole, Elbert Manning, Morris Harris, Clay Ogata, and Dan Dubay. The fine network of the team put NHS in good standings in our region. Congratulations to Coach Raines, assistant coaches, team managers, and the Varsity Football Team for a job well done. 38 mu, sf 1 MW I 'pdf' I v E 4 1.

The most memorable games were played against Central and South Gwinnett in which every one performed at their best. But for the whole season, Rick Cheek, quarterback, and Mark Watkins, defensive back, were quoted as the most valuable players. Of- fensively, Ben Broome, Perry Keiffer, Jay Roesch, and Jeff Crumely deserve much praise for their fine job. Defensively, Greg Nabors and Tony Vaccaro are celebrated for their ac- complishments.

The 1982-83 Baby Blues did an outstanding job, under Coach Ranus' fine directions. Roger Rivas and Thad Barnes, who received the defensive player of the year award, did outstanding jobs as linebackers. Matt Ward and Lee McCullem both had a fine year, also. Offensively, Matt Miller was voted the most valuable player and received the of- fensive player of the year award. Ron Shelton played fullback extremely well and Steven Daniels did an excellent job as the quarterback. The overall team had a very successful season and hopes to do as well next year as the B-team members.

Homecoming is a tradition at Norcross High which is still very alive and extremely popular. This year, Homecoming began with Spirit Week: students were urged to show their spirit and dress up for Punk Rock Day, Western Day, Military Day, Sports Day, and Blue and White Day. Dur- ing the week prior to the Homecoming game, the National Honor Society sold carnations, which were delivered in homeroom on Friday, and the Girls Basketball Team sold Spirit Chain links for 5a: each. This year, the Freshman class took first place followed by the Sophomore, Senior and Junior Classes. On Friday afternoon, the traditional pep rally was held with the parade following. ln the parade, the class floats and club cars were judged. The Homecoming Court also rode in cars along with their class floats. Homecoming Court representatives were chosen by their fellow classmates and votes were tallied by the student council, who sponsored the parade. Homecoming Court members were: Seniors: Holly Barber, Beth Bowen, Kay Gaddis, Denise Merrit, Chris Vorpahl and Laurie Walker: Juniors: Whitney Jones, Becky Speaks, and Kim Tompkins: Sophomores: Christy Chastain, Melanie Mitchell, and Jennifer Reddickg Freshmen: Lisa Lane, Candi Reddic, and Missy Thompson. 45 if 4' 1A 2A 3A 1 N 1 4A 5A 6A 46 vig I - KLVV Q .Q z Q X f, . 1. 3 BA 1 - Whitney Jones - Junior. 2 - Becky Speaks - Junior. 3 - Kim Tompkins - Junior. 4 - Holly Barber - Senior. 5 - Beth Bowen - Senior. 6 - Denise Merritt - Senior. 7 - The Junior Float. 8 - Chris Vorpahl - Senior. 9 - Laurie Walker - Senior. The chill of the evening was matched only by the air of excitement on the part of the N.H.S. student body, parents, and the visiting alumni. Tension mounted as the students awaited the announcement of the winner of the float and car competition. A mixture of cheers across Norcross Stadium as the crowd discovered the Seniors had won the float competition and the Junior Civitan had won the car competition. The 'half-time activities finally arrived with Norcross ahead 21-0 over Winder- Barrow. The Homecoming Court Representatives walked onto the field with their escorts as the band performed an ex- cellent show. All the senior court members waited nervously for the announcement of the new 1982-1983 Homecoming Queen. The stadium hushed as the drum roll began . . . and the new 1982-83 Norcross Homecoming Queen is Kay Gaddis!! Kay Gaddis, a very friendly girl at N.H.S., was filled with shock as she was crowned by Regina Patterson, last years queen. 47 1. The Senior Float. 2. Kay is surprised at being named Queen. 3.

Homecoming '82 is an event which will be cherished for many years by all Nor- cross students. The Seniors will remember the winning Big Boy float, Junior Civitan members will take pride in having won the car competition, and Kay Gaddis will cherish the night she became Homecom- ing Queen. This night will be special to all parents and alumni too. Homecoming '82 was a night which will be cherished for a long time in the hearts of many. 49 D D I 5 8 U 0 0 V ' i v , L A1 ..

The Varsity and B-team cheerleaders began their season at a camp in Athens, where they both received superior and excellent ratings for their performances. Throughout the year, both teams cheered with in- credible energy for football and basketball games. The girls sold doughnuts and trash cans to help pay for their new uniforms. They also sold spirit ribbons and buttons to help boost student spirit. The 1982-83 Varsity team consists of Rhonda Benson, Beth Bowen, Laura Dykstra, Kay Gaddis, Laurie Garmon, Joy Hickman, Karen Holman, Kim Kiser, Denise Merritt, Carol Peterson, Paige Prather, Debi Soden, and Kim Tompkins. Jennifer Riddick, Holly Hilburn, Julie Tucker, Mary Beth Elias, Robin Benson, Kelly Hudson, Denise Schlitt, Angie Hutchinson, and Michelle Harper made up the B-team cheerleading squad. Under the guidance of Mrs. Lewis and the leadership of the Varsity captain, Carol Peterson, and B-team captain, Jennifer Riddick, the squads kept school spirit at its best. 51 1 - Jeff Henderson and Bobby Singer caught in a teamwork transaction. 2 - Jeff Sillay getting the toss up. 3 - Jim Crego aiming at the goal. 4 - Mike Ganote lays it up for two. 5 - Coach Norris and the rest of the Devil line-up. 6 - All eyes at the basket. 7 - Jeff Sillay sending off another perfect free throw. 8 - Elbert Manning sneaking up for a surprise for the op- ponent. 9 - Wally Emerson tangled up in a toss. NORCBOSS VS. DULUTH: Not a close game by any means. The Duluth Wildcats went home with little spirit when Norcross fiercely played and defeated them 73-37. Jim Crego was the leading scorer with 16 points and 6 rebounds. Jeff Sillay followed closely behind with 12 points. Norcross did outstandingly in rebounds - Elbert Manning had 11, and the whole team's total was very good. Every player made his con- tributions to this game. Pete Brown, Clay Ogata, Mike Senf, Alec Gilner, just to mention a few, added to the Devil victory. All of the teamwork in this game simply made the Devils' vic- tory an even bigger one. NOBCROSS VS. BERKMAR: One of Norcross' more ex- citing games was against the Berkmar Patriots. The Devils beat them by 13 points with a score of 68-45. The leading scorer and rebounder was Elbert Manning with 24 points and 11 rebounds. With 17 points, Jeff Sillay showed his great athletic skills. Jim Crego had 10 points and 7 rebounds to ac- count for that night. As usual, Norcross as a whole, shared excellent teamwork, dedication, and skill throughout the en- tire game. NORCROSS VS. NORTH HALL: North Hall did not even come close to defeating the Blue Devils in their January 7th basketball game. The Devils romped to victory with an 81- 46 win. Obviously, Norcross dominated the entire game, not to anyone's surprise. The lead scorer for the night was icon- tinued on pg. 543 A ll it it 'TS f 'I' Hiligg NORCROSS VS. CENTRAL: The game against the Black Knights was a grand victory for the Blue Devils in which all the excitement of an ex- cellent basketball game was involved. The score was 48-49 in favor of Central in the last few seconds of the game. Being only one point behind and a few seconds remaining and a possibility to win, tension was building high on the Norcross side. All NHS players were alert. Mike Senf got the ball, shot, and the ball terrifically went through the nets just as the buzzer went off. So the final score ended in 50-49 win for the NHS Varsity Boys. It was remembered as one of the best games of the season. Jeff Henderson led in scoring with 12 points, followed by Mike Senf with 9, Jeff Sillay and Elbert Manning each with 8. Alec Gilner led in rebounds with 9, Elbert Manning had 6, and Mike Senf had 3. Overall, the season for the Varsity Boys was a good one. Such perfor- mances as the ones in the games with Central Gwinnett and Berkmar are good examples of their worthiness. They rounded up the season with 11 wins and 13 losses. Jeff Henderson with an average of 12 points, Jeff Sillay with 11, and Elbert Manning also with 11 were the leading scorers for the season. Rounding up the top 3 in rebounds were Elbert Manning with an average of 8 rebounds per game, Jim Crego with 7, and Mike Senf with 6. Thanks to the Senior Varsity players and good luck to Coach Norris and the rest of the team next season. The 1982-83 Varsity girls put in an overall good effort, but the in- dividual accomplishments were enormous. The record was 8 wins and 14 losses of which over 70 !0 of the games were lost by 2 or less points. At the beginning of the season, the Varsity Girls' first win of the season was against Duluth. Julie Cross scored 16 points, Dana Jordan 9, and Arthette Caldwell 8, which all contributed to 48-40 win for the Devils. ln the middle of the season, the Blue Devils Varsity team defeated Monroe with the score of 54-49 and tcontinued on pg. 59l 55 1 - Bobby Singer on a backward catch. 2 - Julie Cross throws past an ambitious defender. 3 - Dana Jordan rueing for a score. 4 - Aleck Gilner shoots in style. 5 - Clay Ogata and Alec Gilner listens to referee's call. 5.

Toward the end of the season, the Norcross team stomped on the Berkmar Patriots with the score of 55-38. 8 Seniors, 5 Juniors, and 2 Sophomores make up this fine team led by Coach Teague. Overall, the leading scorers were Jill Johnson, Dana Jordan, Laurie Walker, Julie Cross, and Mary Szyperski. Julie Cross was quoted as the leading rebounder of the season. For the 1982-83 B-Team Basketball Team and Coach Smith, the season turned out to be one of the most excellent ones. The team has a record of 10 wins, 3 losses and 1 tie to prove their excellence, but most of all, lots of fun and learning was involved in it. tcontinued on PQ- 60l A7 --.

Wally Amerson, also third in scoring with an average of 9 points per game, was the leading rebounder. Mike Bennett and Mike Ledford are quoted as the most improved players. But all of the 14 members per- formed their best under Coach Smith's easy going but effective coaching. The game against the Berkmar Patriots was the thriller of the season in which a shot was made in the final 6 seconds of the game to give Norcross a win by one point. Lots of celebration was called for that night and we hope to see more of these excellent performances when the B-Team reaches Varsity! The B-Team girls, led by Coach Westmoreland, marched through the 1982-83 season while learning, improving, and having a lot of fun. Fellowship reaches out far among the players, and sportsmanship and friendship keep them well knitted together. fcopy cont. on pg. 61l Ei if oo , A3 U., H An... ,...

The successful season was ended with a 6-3 record. When asked to comment on the team, Coach Ranus said, At the beginning of the season, things looked kind of depressing. The lineup was spotted with underclassmen. The seniors did a good job with team unity and leader- ship. The freshmen and sophomore wrestlers pro- gressed to a point where they could compete. And we ended up with a good season. Our wrestling team finished 4th place in the area tournaments at Gainesville. The following wrestlers placed for Norcross: 1st - Bill Murphy 2nd - Ferris Moore 3rd - David Powell, David Filipowicz, Ernie Robbins 4th - Richard Sosebee, Greg Bowen 5th - Bill Robasco.

The team powerfully carried their momentum into 17 straight win- nings, and turned out a remarkable final record of 21 wins and only 4 losses. With the carefully engineered directions of Coach Sey, the team of talent won such honors as the 8-AAA West Sub-region Championship and the Gwinnett County Dugout Tournament Championship to N.H.S. A baseball team is teamwork, and a lot of hard practice. Each player contributes many valuable hours in practicing together, with perfection as their goal. As Coach Sey noted, one of the outstanding qualities of this team is that the players support each other tremendously. They are all friends in and out of the school, and at the games, they are a well- knitted network of spirited team. Most of the statistics and honors go to the seniors of 1982, but the other constituents who gained much experience on the varsity team are sure to do well on the 1983 team. Joe Gilbert was the all-around leader in batting average - .448, homeruns - 5, and runs batted in - 27.

Scott Lord, Todd Hicks, and Greg Davies, who had the best earned run average, were also very good pitchers with high ratings to prove it. Mike Har- ris and Chuck Gray saved numerous fly-aways as out- fielders. Mike Waits did the same from two positions, as the outfielder, and the catcher, along with Fred Rohrbach. Mike Allen, Ricky Bryan, and Denis Devlin filled out first and second bases, and got their hands on the always ex- citing double plays. The Blue Devil Varsity Team played a total of 25 games, and their highest scoring game was in the Gwinnett County Round Robin Baseball Tournament at Brookwood. The score was 22-0 in favor of the Blue Devils, of course! According to the Spectrarama survey of the Varsity Baseball team, every player thought that the team had spirit, which is one of the most important factors in the team's success. Each varsity player had at least two years of experience, and some have had up to eleven years. The majority of them wanted to go ahead and play baseball as mere recreation. They certainly have solid backgrounds from playing on such a winning team. Although most of the members said they do get nervous before a game, they agree that, it goes with the game. Besides, everyone has some type of inspirational dependent. It ranges from good luck charms, to their favorite socks, to a lake in the woods, to a girl friend. In the category of who got them interested in baseball, most answered with their fathers. Baseball is a traditional event in America. The rebirth of each spring is not just the same without all the little league and major league baseball spirit. Similarly, we hope that the forthcoming Norcross baseball teams are just as successful as the 1982's. They have set the pace and let it become a tradition. For the 1982 B-Team Baseball players and Coach Fan- non, mother nature was the toughest opponent. It seems that she did not time the spring showers very well. lContinued on page 73j 1 - The players take time out for a break. 2 - Scotty puts in an effort in his pitching. 3 - The team gathers to listen to Coach Sey explain the game's plan of attack. 4 - 1982's 9th grade team. 5 - Blue Devil 1st baseman, Mike Allen makes a good catch. 6 - 1982 B-Team Baseball Team. 7 - The whole team watches as 315 swings a terrific hit. iagainlj 8 - An expression of determination. 71 , ,, y 'W nl K A wi ww' L, W , ,L - ' id , F f 4y,4y:'W. . ,.

Like a vast field, the opportunity for success was open to them but achieving it did not come without sweat. Lots of 'hard work, bountiful energy, high spirits, well balanced talents, and good directions of Coach Fannon all blended together smoothly to make this team one of the best in the state. The Softball Team excelled in their area and N.H.S. should be proud of them. They ended the season with a fantastic record of 19 wins and 7 losses. Ten of those games were sub-region playoffs. During this in- credible season, Julie Barron led the team in almost every category in- cluding batting average, RBl's, homeruns, and hits made. Jill Johnson and Dana Jordan rounded up the second and third places for the highest batting averages, Vicky Needham and Michelle for RBl's, and Arthette Caldwell and Kim Richardson for homeruns. So, like Tracie Hall, Leigh Couch, and Joy Covington said, It was an overall best team, who had a lot of togethernessf' On these accounts we congratulate the 1982 Softball team and Coach Fannon. it ' ' 35 7 T Qc- 4 1 ' K .it , A A 2 , ' ' at Y t A at V, tw f- , fi ik' . aa- ,fl 1' A 3 1 5 Hi . .... g L 8 A 9 A10 Cont. from p. 71 The B-team was rained out 14 times which resulted in 9 officially played game season! A good, overall spirit is a major deciding factor in the group's success in team sports, and baseball is not an exception. As such the dripping weather did all it could to force down the team's spirit, but as the season prepared the future contenders of the Varsity Baseball Team. This put them in the right direction by allowing them time to further develop their skills and gain valuable experience. The B-team had 4 wins and 5 losses, which considering the side fac- tors, proved to be an impressive group of energetic players. 73 1 - The 1982 Varsity Soccer Team. 2 - The 1982 B- Team Soccer Team. 3 - Players watch the game. 4 - Lisa poses for pictures. 5 - The 1982 Boys Tennis Team. 6 - The 1982 Girls Tennis Team. 7 - Tennis Anyone? ll three soccer teams did extremely well this year. The varsity team had an 8-2 season, and had four players make All-County. These outstanding people were Curtis Lee, Adam Oaks, Bill Tiller, and Kevin Godwin. The games are very important to all of the players, and although the games are full of tremendous tension, the players still manage to play very well under stress. Mike Carroll said that he is only nervous at the first game of the season, while Kevin Godwin told us, I always get hyper before a game starts. Peter Tzianabos and Richard Coblens said that they sometimes got a little nervous. The majority of the others said that they get nervous too. The B-team and ninth grade also did a wonderful job this season. The team had a 3-2- 2 season, and the Ninth grade had a 1-3-3 season. There was a lot of hard work and dedication put into the soccer teams this year by Coach Westmoreland. His hard work was well ap- preciated by the team. The teams felt like he put his heart and soul into their games as well as practice. lthough Mrs. Middour reads, sails, jogs, and plays tennis, she also dedicates a great amount of her time to the coaching of the girls' tennis team. I was extremely impressed with the girls' performance, she said when asked to comment on the 1982 season. The girls worked many long hours on their games. All of this hard work showed when the team had an overall 9-1 season. The first singles spot was played by Dia Powell. She held this position extremely well, winning the county singles title and playing in the semi-finals at the region playoffs. Kris Gilchrist played at second singles. She got into tennis herself, I had just moved here, and needed to get involved, she commented, and the team was glad she did. Kris has been a real asset to the team. Lisa LaFave did an outstanding job at third singles, and helped the team greatly. The first doubles team consisted of two Lisas, Lisa Gardner and Lisa LeFave. They did a great job together. Lawrey Waylen and Kim Wheeler did out- standingly well at second doubles. They went all the way to the semi-finals in the county playoffs. The third doubles team was made up of Carla Richardson and Paige Prather. They also did very well in the 1982 season. The alternates, Stephanie Smith and Susan Lauterbach, are also very enthusiastic, as we can see from Stephanie's statement, I feel that we have a great athletic department at N.H.S., and I enjoy being a part of it! 74 ...............s... 2 A l 3A We were region champs last year, and are hoping to do well in the state championship this year, is what Coach Spotts had to say about this year's boys' tennis team. One of the best seasons of tennis took place under his careful direction and the hard work of all the members of the team. This was the year that all the hard work paid off. After their undefeated season, the tennis team went on to have an out- standing record inthe playoffs. David Owens, who was voted most valuable player, won the county singles title, and John Maher went on to win the region title. While Pete Tzianabos had a 6-3 season at the third singles spot, Peter said, There was a lot of team spirit last year, but some disappointment over the state tournament. He con- tinued, however, with the guarantee that this year will be different. Peter Tzianabos and Joey Burchfield did an outstanding job at the first doubles position, going on to the runners-up in the championships. The only senior on the team, Stacey Vincent, played second doubles with many different people, and did a wonderful job. The third doubles team consisted of Brad Ashburn, and Ronnie Livers. They defeated one opponent after the other all season long. The new blood on the team, Brent Floyd and Eddie Long did a great job at the fourth doubles position. The dedication of the team was wonderful. Members of the team could be found practicing at the Best Friend Park tennis courts at any time. Over all the team had one of its best seasons in 1982, and hopes to have another great season in 1983.

Underclassmen look up to these students and even try to pattern their actions after them. The seniors are considered the leaders of the school and have done a good job in leading and representing Norcross. The NHS Court members were selected from their homerooms. The court consisted of twenty-four seniors - twelve girls and twelve boys. They were Holly Barber Beth Bowen, Leigh Couch, Susan Fain, Kay Gaddis, Robin Gillespie, Jill Johnson, Kellie McClesky, Denise Merritt, Chris Vorpahl, Laurie Walker, and Kim Washington, Mike Allen, Greg Bowen, Richard Coblens, Jim Crego, Alan Grant, Jeff Henderson, David Owens, Shelley Poole, Bo Reddic, continued on pg. 114 EE Q E 5 Q S 5 Z E Z Z 1 1 2 ,Z if ,, ,,1ig5,,,,,g.1,y,,4. hk. ,wggw ,,N,,,:3, 5 to 1' ,y 52,991 : -mebwlw W 2171 WB F351 .,., ' ' 'QV Football Class Officer 95 125 Junior Aide 125 Student Foreign Team 9, Club 9. 125 g Life Club Youth Against Robin Gillespie - Junior Civitan 11, 125 Lite Club 1 Youth Against Cancer 11, 125 N.H.S.

QQ, 'x A, Q x 3 if 5. 553 an m ai fi J H9 he best years of your life begin here, happen now, and con- tain the cherished memories of high school no one can forget. Memories of special friends, special times, and a special feeling of belonging to Norcross High. Starting with the first friend made in your freshman year, you want to be accepted, to be a part of Nor- cross, and it seems at times as though you would do anything to feel as if you belonged. Involvement is the key word - taking the first step and reaching out to other people without being afraid of rejection, or of what people will think of you, and, believe it or not, it's not as hard as it sounds. All you have to do is give a little of yourself and find a club or organization that interests you. There are twenty-seven clubs at Norcross, and no matter what your interests are, there is something here for you. From The Newspaper Staff to the Debate team to Student Council to Service clubs to FBLA, and the list goes on and each club is special. So, dedicate your time and join a club lor two or threel and you will get a lot in return, because it's not so much the club that makes it special, but the people in it. They make up a Society and Culture of a rare breed. Special peo- ple with special interests and a lot to give. These are the things you will remember about Norcross years from now - not the classes or the work or the teachers but the peopleg the friends. Friends made and friends cherished, and Involvement is where it all begins. ,,,, .. . nil - - M ffll in ff.w A V - A2 V' f , ,ln 5 ,H . , .1 ' f- .

A9 he news has always been an important part of our lives. There is no doubt that all of us want to be informed about current happenings in and around the school, and this is just what the Advocate Staff sets out to do. The Advocate Staff is a group of students maintaining a B average in English. These students must also have an outstanding teacher recommen- dation, and they must be invited by the sponsor Mrs. Cay Maddox to be on the staff. This year's staff consisted of eleven Seniors, six Juniors, and two Sophomores. These students worked hard to provide reading material that was interesting and informative. This year the editors were dedicated Seniors who were willing to put in extra time to make sure their deadlines were met. These Seniors were Kay Gaddis, Cathy Caras, and Holly Barber. This year's first Advocate went on sale on Friday, October 1st, for 25c. This was an exciting day for the staff, it could either make them, or break them. There's no doubt that the paper was a success - a job well done. After this, the paper came out monthly for the remainder of the year with articles centering around sports activities, interviews, and advice. 121 A3 ublishing a newspaper isn't as easy as it seems. It takes quite a bit of money to produce it. Once again they face the never-ending problem of financing it. They accomplished the feat this year by having a doughnut sale on Saturday, Oct. 9th. This sale brought in several dollars. The staff not only puts out a paper for the students to read, but they put their paper up for competition. They have won several awards for their journalistic excellence including The General Excellence Award for High School Journalism presented by Gwinnett Daily News, for three years. This group also makes an annual trip dur- ing the spring to Athens, The University of Georgia campus for seminars and an award ceremony. ith all the awards that are given, we tend to forget some people that deserve a very big one. The Aides here at Norcross deserve an award for all the work they do. We all take these people for granted. Most students believe being an aide is just an easy way to get elective credit but it's more than that. On a busy day in the library, those aides put in just as much, if not more work than a regular class. They have to shelve books, get magazines for students, and complete a workbook by the end of the quarter. Other aides include the Xerox and the Office aides. They also do a lot to ensure a normal day at school. The Xerox aides are responsible for hun- dreds of tests, worksheets, and other important papers everyday. They have to make sure these papers are run off, and are back to the teachers on time. The Office aides work in the offices, answering phones, taking messages, running errands, and stuffing teachers' mailboxes. The aides like any other class, must take a final exam at the end of the quarter. 122 weffmg m N-o.,.9ui ,,, W. K F x QW 3 aww 'tt 5' ' 'if L tr Xe t bl ' A 4 ave you ever noticed the painting of the Norcross Blue Devils on the press box? How about the Welcome to Norcross High School - Striving for Excellence sign al the main entrance to the office? Did you ever wonder who painted these and whose idea they were? They were both done compliments of the 1982-83 Art Club. Members of the Art Club are a very special group of young artists who are trying to give their talents in an effort to beautify the school. And they're doing a great job! The only requirements for entrance to the club is that you must be willing to work hard, because they had a lot of activities this year. Some ot these include the painting of the Blue Devil on the gym wall, and the painting of the pitchfork along the road in front ol the school. The members of the art club give so much of their time and get so much satisfaction in return. Each one has a talent to paint, draw, and sketch. Melissa Mathews painted the blue devil on the press box and is one of the more acl tive members of the club, and Mr. McVay is the sponsor. Together, along with the other members of the club, they make up a group of very talented and special people.

This leader was given respect from each of the members. This leader led the band to the Atlanta Classic Marching Competition in Lilburn to get an excellent rating in the fall. They came back with four trophies including a First place trophy for the drum majors. This leader is Mr. Shaw. Mr. Shaw did a great job in directing the band and had a difficult job of trying to keep the band in line. Despite the difficulty of the job, when Mr. Shaw yells Attention! , every single member of the band stands up straight with their head thrown back. What amazing authority! Speaking of authority, drum majors Bobbi Jo Dickerson and Kim Applebee had full authority out on the field during half time. They kept the band together in tempo and did the job very well.

Both groups gave younger students chances to learn about their voices and music in general. Freshman Chorus attended Festival and did very well, while Beginning Chorus did not perform. They learned much and at the end of this year joined higher Chorus classes, keeping the Chorus going for next year. The Christmas season was our Chorus' busiest of the year.

Mr. Peeples sponsored the club and had this to say: Students were dedicated, hard-working, and con- tributed much to the school and community. One of their main purposes is to create an interest in marketing and Distributive Education among students. To do this the club is set- ting up a slide show of members working at their jobs and presented it to those interested. Many Juniors and Seniors were able to create situations where students can develop leadership and self-reliance at the jobs where they worked. They also developed vocational understanding, social intelligence, civic consciousness, and leadership. The officers worked very hard in leading the club. As president, Steve Siebold worked diligently with the other officers and the spon- sor, Mr. Peeples. He did a wonderful job and everyone was pleased with the job he did. The other offices were held by Charlene Waite, Jennifer Lowery, Gaynell Turner, Lesa Stubblefield, and Mindy Clements. The DECA club members maintain a C average and must be a Junior.

The purpose of FHA is to develop leadership and service for the school and community. For the past few years, FHA has adopted a grandmother in the Norcross area. Once or twice a month, five or six members go to see her. While there, they talk to her, listen to her many stories of her life, and take food to her. The members enjoy doing this because they get a feeling of helping someone with a lone- ly heart. Besides visiting their grandmother, they also go to different Day Care Centers in the area to have some par- ties for the kids. FY A10 A11 1. 1982-83 FB LA officers. 2.

Due to our school's growing population of foreign students, Ms. Swift and Judy Chen felt the need for a club to meet the needs of these students. Thus the International Club was born. As an organization, they try to promote ex- changing of culture of foreign students and American students, and to give them assistance in adjusting to academic and social aspects of American culture. All of the International Club members are students who are interested in making new friends and helping and sharing with people. Norcross is glad to have the International Club because it sparks better communication between foreign and American students. The students gain from the club by allowing foreign students to adjust to a new school and country. ln the words of president Judy Chen, The club is for students working toward the goal of friendship and communication.

What your average Norcross High student receives on Yearbook Day in the Spring is the culmination of months of intense work by a group of dedicated students and two patient, hard-working sponsors Mrs. Westaway and Mrs. Parish. The commanders-in-chief of the yearbook staff are the editors, Jody Raines and Beth Bowen. Everything that goes into the yearbook must first be checked by them. These two are also in charge of the opening and closing section of the yearbook. The editors could not make the yearbook on their own, however, section editors control the individual areas of the yearbook that are specifically assigned to them. The Spectarama is split into 4 sections: Organizations, Classes, Sports, and Faculty. Each of these has editors: Janet Farr - Organizations, Leigh Couch and Tracie Hall - Classes, Becky Fleming - Sports, Whitney Jones and Joy Covington - Faculty. The Advertising section of the Spectarama was done by Kim Washington, and Chuck Maior and Donald Milstear were photographers. tudent government is an important part of training students for the leadership roles they will assume later in life. Norcross Student Council, sponsored by Mrs. Duncan and co-sponsors Mr. McKinstry and Mrs. Young, consists of officers and, also, representatives from each grade. They are elected by the student body. This year's of- ficers were, president - Laurie Walker, vice president - Bobby Singer - secretary - Kay Gaddis, treasurer - Beth Bowen and parliamentarian - Richard Coblens. The purpose of Student Council is to spon- sor activities during the school year and to involve students in school spirit, good citizenship and community involvement. The Student Council was responsible for the Devil Dances which were held after almost every football game, sponsoring a fun-run in the spring and the biggest event - Homecom- ing. Homecoming involves voting on the Homecoming Court, establishing float themes, planning half-time activities and organizing the parade. In addition the Stu- dent Council has a fund raiser every Christmas and members sell Christmas stockings and candy. Student Council members have a great deal of responsibility and they must be mature and dedicated to handle their jobs. Q., 150 A2 ls if 4 1 , r S af' A4 Student Council Means Involvement 1.

The cast of Norcross's One Act Play at North Georgia College on December 1, 1982. The occasion was the Annual One Act competition of the 8-AAA region. The Norcross Thespian Society, with their new sponsor Mrs. Raasch, had auditions for their competition One Act play in the beginning of the year and the cast for the play, Spoon River Anthology was chosen. The plot of Spoon River is done all in black. For you see the characters are all spirits of people who have died in Spoon River, Illinois. They have returned to give advice and entertainment to the world of the living. The cast is usually dressed drabbly, but Norcross added color, movement, and vitality to a normally dark, dreary play. Because of their hard work and Mrs. Raasch's wonderful dedication, for the first time in 9 years, the Norcross High Ftaasch's School Thespain Society came away from the competition with FIRST place. Also of great im- portance to veteran Thespians of Norcross was the fact that Gainseville High School did not come away with 1st place, as they had for the past 5 years in a row. 1.

On the 7th of January, the cast loaded up a diesel bus and set off for Valdosta. They arrived very late, checked in to the Holiday Inn, and, after a short party and cast meeting, retired to their rooms to prepare for the next day. They got up early, went off to breakfast and arrived at Valdosta State College. Spoon River was 2nd on the playbill, and they got into costume and makeup. All went very well during the performance, and the whole cast was optimistic. That night, when the plays which placed , the first through fourth, were announced. Our Thespians plac- ed fourth. At first, some were disappointed, but the realiza- tion that only three schools in the state did better than they did, lifted their spirits. The Thespian Society also performed a musical in the Spring. It was very well done, and they all had a good time. The Thespians look forward to long years of success with their new sponsor, Mrs. Ftaasch, and they appreciate her professionality and dedication. However, they also want to thank last year's sponsor, Mrs. Parker, for her hard work in times when no one else cared enough to do the work. A big thank you to both the old and the new for caring enough to be there.

Holly Withrow sponsors one of the more active clubs at Norcross. She sponsors Youth Against Cancer. All year long the members raised money for the American Cancer Society. They also took candy and toys to young cancer patients in the hospital during the Christmas season. They make people aware of the basic cancer facts of prevention, detec- tion, and treatment to use this knowledge to protect their own health as well as their families. 157 -mills-u The Norcross YAC unit has made the most money in the state of Georgia for the American Cancer Society. To accomplish this honorable position they sold Iollipops - the biggest money maker for the American Cancer Society - birthday cupcakes, and held a Mr. and Miss irresistable Contest. The club participated in a Cancer Awareness Week in which posters were displayed. They also par- ticipated in the Great American Smokeout. On this day they asked people to adopt a smoker to help them quit smoking. Several members of the Norcross YAC unit attended the 1982 Music and Tennis Festival. Part of the proceeds went to the American Cancer Society. Members of the Norcross unit sold programs and Iollipops at this first annual event. Stars from the tennis and music world, including the groups Kansas and Survivor and tennis stars Vince Van Patten and Mel Purcell, competed against each other in a tennis tournament. Norcross YAC members had a proud feeling to represent our school and meet many famous and interesting people. In August of 1982 several members of Norcross YAC went to the 1982 YAC Conference at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia. Among those attending were Bev Howard, the 1982 State President of YAC, Bobby Singer, Jeff Henderson, Kay Gaddis, Jill Swartz, Stacey Gore, and Holly Terrell. Monica Kaufman, from Action News, spoke to the attending youth, who also learned about new advances in cancer research. As the State Program Chairman, Bobby Singer will plan this year's YAC Conference. 1-' M . -,.- Y ,W -'. , -N ,':'- fm..-. +4 ' - . . f h'!ia N'.

Selling magazines, painter hats, and sponsoring the Miss Norcross Pageant are some of the ways money was raised. When asked to comment on the year, class president Whitney Jones responded, The class sponsors have really been a big help this year. They have spent a lot of their time working with the Junior Class to make the prom a suc- cess. These hard-working sponsors are Ms. Suzanne Bosarge, Mr. Larry Swaim, and Ms. June Walburn. The time spent working to create a good prom paid off. The Junior Class planned a successful 1983 prom and all who attended had ' f.'f12s35::- ig. is-, f as-1 ' ' sift ' it N W as Ml-PN, Q: fv ss A, an enjoyable time. The event was held at Colony Square and the band The Surfs from the University of Georgia provided the music. The backbone of the Class of 84 lies in its officers. These students in- clude president - Whitney Jones, vice- president - Jason Adams, secretary - Laurie Garmon, and treasurer - Tracy Truesdale. The Junior Class officers have led their fellow students into filling the shoes of the seniors. Superlatives were first recommended by their teachers and then voted on by their class. The 1982-83 Junior Superlatives are Jason Adams, Earl Brown, Joy Covington, Laurie Garmon, Whitney Jones, Gary Lakey, Wade Leonard, and Kevin Renno. The Juniors show a lot of enthusiasm in their class. They are well on their way to becoming outstanding seniors at Norcross High School.

However this year s Freshman Class has done a rather good job of adjusting. They have already raised some money for their class and are on their way to having a better understanding of high school life. Leading the way were the class officers: president - Candi Reddic, vice-president - Jenny Laponzina, secretary - Lori Swofford, and treasurer - Ming Pham. The sponsors of this large class are Ms Anne Wolensky and Ms Paula Parris Although the freshmen are new to Norcross they show great promise Some of the promising students are the Class of 86 Superlatives They are Ming Pham Candi Reddic Lynn Ross Missy Thompson, and Shannon Walker. In three years the freshman class of 1983 will be the senior class of 1986. They will have experienced many things in this time that will prepare them for new beginnings that everyone finds after high school.

MALL , - m.w 'im Not ar rom Athen .l 201 he tradition of high academic standards, established long ago in ancient Athens, and upheld today at the University of Georgia in nearby Athens, is the backbone of Norcross High School. Academic excellence, as exhibited by the number of Governor's Honor Can- didates, National Merit Semi-Finalists, quarterly honor roll students and high standardized test scores, is important to both the faculty and students at NHS. And the faculty's high stan- dards are reflected in their academic prepara- tion and the scholarly atmosphere present in NHS classes and throughout the school. From the front office to the attendance office, Norcross is in good hands. The administration and secretarial staff are always ready to lend a helping hand. Whether checking in or out, curious about the financial position of a club or just in need of help, a Norcross student will find the administration and staff always there with a smile ready to assist. 1 - Mr. and Mrs. Spotts, two close teachers at NHS. 2 - Mrs. Middour skiing on Beech Mountain. 3 - Coach Smith and Coach Westmoreland give their attention to Coach Raines at a pre-game meal. 4 - l know l'm good-looking. 5 - Mr. Swaim and Coach Sey discuss the trailer situation. 6 - Mr. Williams and his children enioy a day at the park. 7 - The Special Education Department talks about their new ideas. 8 - Mrs. Lilly hanging around at the FSU circus at Callaway Gardens. 9 - Mmm, what's for lunch? 208 ,.,.' , X l F aw a 45 . .

A ii - V he Elective Department, which includes foreign language, art, business education, special education, home economics, industrial arts, physical education, and driver's education, is a very important part to an NHS student. The Business Department offers such courses as typ- ing, shorthand, and accounting while the foreign language department takes you around the world with French, Spanish, and Latin. All electives are filled up fast at registration and students must substitute other electives in place of their first choice. The art, home economics, and physical education department offers a variety of courses which are popular with all students. Three courses that are required to graduate are Free Enterprise, Personal Finance, and Health. Each a quarter long, these classes are usually taken during a student's sophomore or junior year. Free Enterprise and Personal Finance deal with the economic world. They teach students about the stock exchange, the monetary system, and the Great Depression. Students also learn how to balance checkbooks, and fill out their income tax forms. ln Health, students learn about the reproductive system and its function. Students also learn about many of the serious and common diseases such as cancer, mono, the common cold, and the flu. All of these classes are designed to help a stu- dent in the future. 1 - Mrs. Young shows her spirit on Halloween. 2 - Mr. Cates back-packing at Jack's Fliver. 3 - Mr. Allen returns home after scuba diving. 4 - Teachers relaxing while on their planning period. 5 - Mrs. Torcivia helping fa student in the library. 6 - Mrs. Bosarge, a new faculty member at NHS. 7 - Mrs. Pavlos after a hard day at work. 8 - Ms. Bolton, our school secretary, answers all questions with a smile. 9 - Mr. Shaw concentrates on directing the band. 211 very important part of NHS is the Science Department. Although Norcross students only need fifteen or thirty hours of science to graduate, students seem to become involved in the course offering selection and go far beyond the necessary. The department offers Physical Science for freshman students where they learn the foundations and basics of science. For sophomores the department offers a more com- plex course, Biology where students experience the more interesting aspect of science. In Biology, students dissect frogs, and explore the animal system. Upon becoming juniors and seniors, students may take courses in Chemistry 1 and 2, an advanced course in Biology, and Physics. Juniors and seniors take part in the Science Fair by preparing research papers and projects which are displayed to the school for two days. The population at NHS has increased so the Science Department has added two new members to its staff. Now consisting of eight members, the department is very dedicated to the students and is always ready and willing to help. 1 - Mrs. Paris is taken with the Hollywood life. 2 - Ms. Miller helps a student with a class assignment. 3 - Coach Sey takes a day off for fishing. 4 - Mrs. Stripling and her daughter Taylor take a ride on the tractor. 5 - A few of the science teachers smile for the camera at a football game. 6 - Mrs. Walbum makes a big catch. 7 - Mr. Fannon, Mr. Westfall and a student make important decisions. 8 - lt's 2:10!

Though many Social Studies courses are not mandatory, students often take more than the ones required because the courses offered cover such a vast array of topics. This year the Social Studies Department has changed their four year plan for students. Now, freshmen take Geography, and most sophomores and juniors take World History and U.S. History. All students may also take American Law, Sociology, An- thropology, and Psychology. The classes required to graduate are International Studies, Govern- ment, and U.S. History. Enrollment figures indicate that American Law is by far the most popular non-required social studies course at N.H.S. Many speakers visit this class, such as police, CIA agents, and lawyers. 1 - Mr. Southerland displays his prize catch. 2 - Ms. Under- wood waters her flowers. 3 - Mr. McVay catches a big one. 4 - Coach Raines goes over team plays. 5 - Some of the Social Studies teachers goofing off in the workroom. 6 - Coach Pridgen, a P.E. teacher. 7 - Mrs. Drake and Ms. Kaplan discuss the master schedule. 8 - Mr. Cooper and Mr. Williams discuss the school. 9 - A new addition to the English Depart- ment, Ms. Wolensky. 10 - Mr. Cates and Mrs. Flowers talk about a science experiment. 215 he Math Department at Norcross provides many levels of mathematics, from General Math to Calculus.

We have seen the Natives In Combat in the athletic fields. Many areas of athletics have excelled to the highest of levels. Several teams have seen extra play- ing time, besides the regular season. Seniors at N.H.S. have made many memories on their way to the Goal at the End of the TraiI. The senior class will always be remembered as the Big Boys. Society and Culture of a Rare Breed has explored the outstanding clubs and organizations at N.H.S. The more abundantly full clubs such as Student Council, Beta Club, and National Honor Society along with the not so big clubs have been ranked in the region and state.

Many friendships have been made and broken all in the 1982-83 school year, but each day has held something special for everyone involved. Not Far from Athens is where you will find any of your favorite teachers, for even Mr. Williamsl. The section shows what each teacher likes to do in their spare time. This hobby ranges from fixing old cars to planting flowers in their gardens. lf you think you know your favorite teacher now just wait till you see them at their own leisure. The ads of the Norcross Geographic are in themselves unique. They show the different companies who support the Blue Devils and the students themselves have given a dollar to the support of the Blue Devils. 262 Q 'ham-f :: ---- Y , . v - Y Y- vw -V - - 4 1 r as r up L.,.W...W was ,Y QV. 1 f. .- H -,K M as Zum ff?
