caught utn Confusions The beginning of a new school year marked a time not only for change and involvement, but also for confusion in the lives of students. A new student constitution, a shorter school day, and a longer, single lunch were all significant changes from years past. With the election year, of course, came contro- versy. But while the nation was debating candi- dates, NHS was caught up in its own political situation that was causing attention. The new year brought the debut of student congress and with it came power. Congress was run by the students, for the students. Removing the homeroom period from the daily schedule of events made room for a longer, sin- gle lunch. Students loved the extra free time and chance to go to lunch with all their friends, but getting out of the parking lot was a challenging and trying experience with 1,300 kids all head- ing the same direction at the same time. The Olympic Games, the passing of liquor by the drink, the Chicago Cubs winning the Nation- al League East Pennant, and for once a relatively dry homecoming were all major happenings making this year entirely different from all others. TIGER PRIDE Getting into the spirit of the moment, the band dressed up a little out of the ordinary ' for the first after-school pep rally. The front lawn served as the perfect site to display the original orange and black pnde. Cassie Onofrey gets caught up in the excitement. PENi: OPENING
