orcross Geographic represents an attempt on the part of the Spectrarama staff to provide Norcross High School with a pictorial and editorial history of mat, we have attempted to focus attention on every aspect of the school year. 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!
