 RjtvJOAxLwux As far back as grade school, students have always been told to believe in their dreams and to work to make them come true. During the 1987-88 year, Norfolk High was definitely the place to make these dreams happen. Many outstanding achievements were accomplished this year, in all areas of competition. From sports to music and academics, NHS was represented well. Norfolk High became a force to reckon with across the state. Not only did students represent NHS well, but also themselves. They showed that they had the discipline and determination to achieve the goals that they had set for themselves. Students worked hard for the numerous trophies, medals, awards, and honors that they received. Hours of rehearsal, studying and spare time were required for them to perform well. The sacrifices students made and the leadership they showed proved that they were capable of pursuing their goals and meeting them. ■by Natasha Siores - - w The best thing that happened this year was the way everyone supported all of the school activities. We took interest in things that we never usually thought about. » fa™ eJ xjy ' 231 -h Achievements Division
