“Come on, feel the noise.” To students of NHS, music was much more than just noise. To most, music was a way of expressing oneself, a way to relax, let loose, and have an ultimately good time. Walkmans, ghetto blasters and a good stereo for car and home, were at the top of many students’ “want list”. Students Tune In More Than Noise Everyone had his own idea of supreme tunes, varying from New Wave and Hard Rock to Top 40 and Country. Most-listened to radio stations were Z-92, out of Omaha, KNEN, here in Norfolk, and 62 Country, out of Sioux, City. Popular concerts for those rock fans were Iron Maiden, in Sioux City, Loverboy, Quiet Riot and a double Def Leppard, in Omaha. Many Country fans attended the Alabama concert at the Nebraska State Fair. No matter what type of music the students of NHS listened to this year, they all seemed to move together in that Supreme harmony. Opposite Page: Bill Kline, KNEN disc jockey, shows us what is done during a broadcast to bring that great sound into our homes and cars. Music can be heard anywhere, including in cars, where FM tuners and stereos abound. Lynn Bayzn shops for her favorite albums at Mid-City Stereo.

“What’s goin’ on tonight?” was a familiar phrase at NHS on Friday afternoons. Big weekend plans often varied from going to the games and dances after, to going to an ‘awesome’ party or having an old-fashioned slumber party with lots of good gossip, plenty of munchies, some serious discussions and of course, lots of giggling. Students Highlight Ultimate Hotspots Norfolk has had its share of supreme hot spots. The place to be seemed to change with the weather. During the good fall and spring weather Norfolk Avenue was full of people with windows down and tunes cranked up. People saving gas could be found sitting in the Alco or 7-11 parking lot talking to the gang. As the nights got cooler, people moved their fun inside. Kings seemed to be a popular place to be with bowling, movies, and food. For some, H P Rollerland was the place to be on Sunday nights. After a school dance, Burger King was the ultimate destination. In the short hour between the dance and curfew Burger King was always full of hungry students. No matter what the weather, students of NHS could always find the ultimately supreme place to be, for Norfolk provided many. On Monday mornings, it was always, “What went on over the weekend?” There was always plenty to tell. Sitting in the Forum socializing are Tim Mulvihill. Tom Rowan, Ted Stransky, and Tony Bennett. Stopping off at 7-11 is common when the ’munchies’ need takes hold. Enjoying couple skating at H P Rollerland on Sunday evening are Larry Arnold and his partner. School dances after the game attract many NHS students. Having a bit of car trouble in Lynn Al’s parking lot are Mark Rohrlch and Mark Sisson. Opposite page: Kim Heppner and Deb Bergland shop around at the plaza for the best buys. Driving down Norfolk Avenue is one of the ultimate things to be doing on a Friday night.
