RES WHAT HAPPENED C? ometimes North Scott is like an island. We often care more about ourselves than the rest of the world. And in the long run we probably will care more about what happened here than on the na- tional scene, but there were probably some exceptions in 1980-81. Did you register to vote this year? Did you get a driver's license? Did you finally go to one of those parties you had been hearing about? Did you get a forever friend this year? Did you loose someone you cared about? Did you do something which gave you a feeling of real accomplishment? Did you read a good book? See a great movie? Relate to a certain song? Did you make something you will keep forever? Was it the first year of a decade, or just another year before graduation to another world? What were you doing on Day 444, when you learned that our hostages were to be set free? What did you think as you watched them come from lran to freedom on television? ln years to come will we wonder at names like Molly Hatchet, Wendy O. Williams, Ayatollah Khomeini, Robin Williams, Jim Plunkett and John An- derson? Will weekends still be made for Mi- chelob, will you still have that Pepsi feeling , or will you be able to tell if it is Memorex? Will you care who shot J.R.? Will we still think of Willie on the road again? Will Elvis Costello, Dan Rather, the Blues Brothers, Boz Scaggs, Gilda Radner, Luke, Bo and Daisy Duke still shine? Who will care about Mark Hamill and Carrie Fischer, Debbie Harry and Blon- die, John Travolta and cowboy hats, Richard Pryor and Rodney Danger- field? Will we be watching Shogun part nineteen, Robert Redford reruns, Ben- son and Trapper John, or Fridays? Did the Oakland Raiders really win Superbowl XV? Did Sugar Ray Leon- ard come back? Will the Philadelphia Phillies ever again win a World Series? Did Lute Olson and Kevin Boyle make national television with the Hawkeyes? Did we really boycot the Moscow Olympics? Was John Lennon gunned down in New York City? Did it mean some- thing? What happened in 1980-81 that made a difference to you? Asics Fnom THE scHooL. vm 1 Q if

he 1981 SHIELD asked the North Scott Faculty to list some students that they thought were neat kidsg kids who are enjoyable in class, friendly to- ward others, or just reaffirm the teacher's faith in today's youth. Below are some of the neat kids at North Scott High this year, as nominated by their teachers. I think Dave Owens is a neat kid because he is a very hard worker and makes those around him feel good. Beneath that happy-go- lucky exterior is an individual who is sincere and re- sponsible. I can always count on Dave for support and help, whatever the sit- uation. I think Lisa Uhruh is a neat kid. She is an awfully nice person who seems to have a good sense of self which allows 1 her to relate to others in a very sincere, warm way. I think Diana Miller is a neat kid because she has been an excellent worker in the office, AND she makes everyone in there a little happier when she is aroundl Little Miss Sunshine 1980! I think Jake Cawiezell is a neat kid because he is a good student, but most of all, he is a joy to have around. He is always very jovial and cooperat- ive. I think Anne Fury is a neat kid be- cause she is such an enthusiastic, in- volved person, a real sweetheart ipar- don my sexist vocabularyj She is per- sonally so well organized that it allows her time to indulge her naturally cur- ious mind and aid other students with their work. I think John Reed is a neat kid be- cause he is helpful, considerate, and always does the best job he can. I think Denny Kraklio is a neat kid because even though he lives in Bet- tendorf, only two blocks from the high school, he has very strong feelings about being a Lancer. This summer he saved money from his job to buy an NS shirt and gym bag. He is very good to the rest of the kids in his class. While on his job inthe caferteria, he reminds students to throw their trash inthe gar- bage cans, and not on the floor. He doesn't like to see things like littering and vandalism here at North Scott. I think Tod Haney is a neat kid be- cause he is dependable and always very kind. IIN SEAL'-'IQQH EDF I I I iiiiiiiiililll A44 ,
