Caroline Green n all aspects of our lives, we try to be our best. Whether it is athele-tically, scholastically, or professionally, we strive to be better than the other person. Here at NHS we are better than those other persons. In fact, we are the best. “We need to be our best in whatever we do in order to get the most out of life,” said Nadine Schwoyer.

That is what it takes to become the best. “I think being the best depends on how hard you work at something and what you do to get there,” said Danny Howard. It is the hard work and the time put in by our ath-eletes at practices that makes the difference. It is the hours of studying that we, as students, must give to make a future for ourselves. But, most importantly, we have to have a sense of spirit and pride for our school and for ourselves.

In everything there is always room for improvement. It is easy to see we have only gotten better. “School has been much better this year because there are less interruptions due to construction,” said Colleen Urban. We cannot deny the fact that over the past years we have been faced with many inconveniences, namely renovations. But, clearly, the renovations have made a large improvement in the appearance of our school. It does not matter who has made us the best or how we have gotten better. What matters is that we are the best and we just keep getting better. Michelle Schleicher Jason Kremus Dave Kovach LOOKING GLASS. While reminiscing her past achievements in sports.

Now is the time to do and see all we can.” Nina Snoentnai How many times have we heard. Your high school years are the best years of you lives? It's true. The times we spend in school generate some really great moments. but the times spent out of school are even better. Studying and homework aren't everything. - the list is endless. Each year we find new and better things to do with our time. Our times spent in and out of school will never be forgotten. Whether it is at home with a friend watching videos, or dancing all night, we find some way to make our high school years the best.

Best friends laugh during good times and cry during bad. Problems arise in every relationship. Sometimes these problems are overcome and other times they destroy the friendship. In a boy-girl relationship problems arise when they begin to date. As they date, the boy or the girl may become possessive and angered by contrasting opinions. Eventually, the dating ends and the friendship fades. Being involved in a boy-girl relationship allows you to get a point of view from the opposite sex. The only problem arises when you become too close and want to be more than friends,” said Stacey Nonnemacher. When your best friend is your sister, such as with Sandi Allen and Maud Pritchard, people think problems always arise. But, the fact that the two people see each other makes it hard to hold a grudge. “Every type of friendship has problems but with a little patience and understanding they can be overcome,” said Pritchard.

They get money by working the weekend. This is the biggest reason for having a job and earning money. Students spend money on football games, basketball games, trips to McDonald's and parties. Besides the weekend, there are more practical reasons for working such as college, cars and shopping for items of extreme importance to the person. I'm going to save for college, stated Eric Roth, who works at CR’s in Northampton. “I want to get a car after I graduate, so I'm saving for car insurance, stated Sherry Reccek. Cars are an important part Sherry Reccek of high school students’ lives. Without cars it would be difficult to hold a job or to participate in sports or extracurricular activities. Cars also play a vital role in the weekends. It would be a lot harder to get places without a car. Keeping up with the latest fashions can be very costly. Fads come and fads go. One thing is for sure, though, the prices will remain high. Whatever the reason students work, the fact remains that they need money. They will work at any type of job. Among them are car washes, cashiers, bag persons, auto workers and cow milkers. They will work during their out of school hours trying to obtain money.

D o you find yourself staring at a person's clothes while they are talking to you? Do you go to school looking like everyone else? Not everyone is afraid to express themselves. “I like to be different. Everyone has the right to dress their own way, whether it’s in or not,” said Allison Mitrisin. Every form of dress is acceptable. You can wear long or short skirts, tight or baggy pants, patterns or solids. Most people wear jeans, but I like to wear skirts,” stated Heather Werner. Students think it is appropriate to come to school in a stretch pants and a cropped top. But according to adminstration, they often attract much attention. Students have been warned or sent home due to their appearance. “I was upset when I was told about my pants because there are so many other girls wearing the same type of clothes, stated Kim Remaly.

FUNDRAISERS For the first time in | n all rivalries there exists a drive and determination to become the best. Tension builds between Catty and Northamp-. ton each year as we try to prove ourselves. In order to alleviate the tension between Catty and NHS, a breakfast was held for the two schools. The gathering was to get to know each other, but for some, it wasn’t taken seriously. “I didn’t feel it was very successful. We sat on one side of the cafeteria and they sat on the other,” stated cheerleader Colleen Moran. On the other hand, the administration thought it was a good idea. ‘‘I think it went over rather well. For the most part, they were polite and we were very receptive.” said Principal Frank Kovacs. The rival game of the year would not be complete without the pep rally. The faculty doubted its success which almost prevented the tradition. To prove the staff wrong, many changes were made to make it better. Marty Fella I WORDS OF WISDOM.

TURKEY DAY THE TURKEY TASTES SO GOOD Phe traditional Turkey Day game has been one of the most memorable events that has taken place at NHS. Beating Catty gives us something to be proud of. For the seniors of the school, this was the perfect way to end the season and the memories will be vivid. “Since I've been a sophomore, I’ve wanted to win, and this year it happened. That will be something I will always cherish,” said Monica Yurasits. The juniors of NHS have another year to get that winning feeling. They must strive for that goal and not quit until they succeed. “As a junior, I hope we start a new tradition. One of winning and being the best,” said Amy Kravetz. Sophomores of this school have even a bigger goal to set. They must follow in the footsteps of previous years. “After seeing how ecstatic my sister was after we won, I can’t wait to be a part of the winning spirit,” said Kevin Remaly.

The faculty and administration felt that there was a serious problem with keeping students on campus and in their respective classes. The most plausible solution was to enforce a hall pass system.

These are supposed to be the best years of my life, but how can they be if we have no freedom. said junior Randy Burger. Haddad also feels that the hall pass system is successful.

Adults are reminded of holidays past, and children dream of the future. “Every holiday has special meanings and traditions, said Kim Hower. As fallen leaves cover the ground and carved pumpkins fill the windows, children anxiously await Halloween. You better watch out, the goblins are coming to get you! Halloween is observed on All Saint's Eve in honor of the saints. With time, the meaning became distorted and symbolized a period when goblins and ghouls roamed free. It is also a time when imaginations run wild. “When I was a kid, I liked to dress up because I could turn into anything I wanted to. Now, I enjoy scaring the little kids and stealing their candy, said Don Kocher. As October rolls into November, Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Thanksgiving is when we give thanks for all we have. Traditionally, it is celebrated by a feast of turkey or ham. “Spirits are high and the food tastes great. I just can’t stop eating, stated Bill Evans. Christmas is when Christians celebrate the birth of Christ. Children’s eyes light up as families anxiously await a visit from jolly old St. Nicholas.

You find you just can’t do it. All you can think about is what you are doing after school. Whether you’re on your way to a hockey game at the playground, or to the skateboard ramp behind the annex, you're on the go. Even if you're just going to the mall with some friends, it is still an activity you enjoy out of school. And if it’s out of school, its an extracurricular activity. “There is no hockey team in school, so if a bunch of kids want to ptay it has to be out of school,” stated street hockey player Matt Gimble. Because of school sponsored sports and jobs, for some people, extracurricular activities are few and far between, but everyone needs something to take them away from the everyday stress of academics. “Sometimes, it doesn’t matter what you’re doing as long as the words 'school sponsored’ aren't hanging over your head, stated sophomore Jen Uilman. These activities are suppose to relieve tension and help you relax. Skateboarding is a popular way to relax. When I'm skateboarding on the ramp, I’m too scared to think about any of my other problems, said skateboarder Jennifer Miller. No matter what you enjoy, the purpose of these activities is to take some time out. Kelly Merchen OVER THE TOP Mike Laury seems to defy gravity as he performs an Ollie off a half pipe manuver.

While lockers seem cold and calculating, they also reflect your personality and prove a true friend. Without lockers, where would you store books, hang pictures of Chanm Jacoby you and your prom date dancing, or photographs of your favorite idol? Without regard to the love or hate relationship you share with your locker, problems have become apparent. The first week of school many students found themselves without lockers. To accomodate them, additional lockers were placed in the new wing. Unfortunately, the locker location does not always benefit the student and he or she may find the location to be an inconvenience. “I didn’t like the location of my locker so I found an empty one, put a lock on it. and adopted it. By using my imagination, it became my 'home away from home’, said Jen Heffelfinger. THE- BEST-KEEPS GETTING Sue Stott Ke«y Merchen LOCKERS LOfi Rice A NIGHT ON THE TOWN. Before heading to the Cinema.

I need your money by tomorrow. And most importantly, don’t be late because we’re going on a field trip!” Field trips aren’t only meant for getting out of school, but they become an effective way of educating a student by expanding their knowledge with a hands-on approach. “Going on a field trip gives the stu- dent a much needed break from the same old routine of education in the classroom, said Erika Madea. Of course, many students feel that the other side of this story is one of utter delight. Students these days will do anything for the chance to go on a field trip in order to get away from the monotany of a student’s classroom life. “The bus driver is like a sheperd taking us to the promised land.” said Andy Franklin. This year, along with having classes see plays and performances, several science trips were taken in which the students listened to lectures that further developed their skills in the areas of biology and chemistry. Overall, the most popular trips are those where students see plays or performances of groups. Such a performance that received raved reviews was that of the Stratten Mountain Boys.

Due to the renovations, a much larger library can be found on the first floor adjacent to the office. • Although changes are generally for the better, the ones that occured only eliminated the surface problems. The “facelift” the library received fixed the leaky ceilings, the creaking floors, and the shortage of space, but nothing was done to update the outdated books found in the library. There are a lot of old books found in the library. We've tried to receive funds and some have been advocated, but there is not enough money to update our books,” said Sally Madden. The library aides' main job is to check out books and make sure they are placed back where they belong. “We mostly check books out, photocopy, and decorate the library,” said Lorie Fritz. The library is a much improved facility. In the additional space, a computer room, a student lounge, and a faculty area were added for the convenience of everyone.

For a select few, these talents fall in the area of art and photography. To fully develop a student’s artistic ability, art teacher Patricia Mighell feels that it is necessary to publically display the students' work. Mighell arranged for the best student's artwork to be displayed at the Keystone Savings and Loan Association. uniqueness It was great to see my work displayed in a public place. I felt honored to be chosen as one of those nine students, said Andrea Johns. Mighell believes another aspect of art appreciation is understanding other artist's view point. By having guest speakers lecture to her classes, Mighell hopes students will learn to improve their own work. To improve the students' photowork, Roger Firestone spends his class teaching the art of picture taking. ★ ★★ This includes the basic mechanics like composition, film developing and cam era operation. The photographers traveled to the elementary schools and to the junior high to take pictures of students.

That is. unless you are Dr. Frankenstein or Dr. Jekyll. But what are the true intentions of laboratories in our school? Is it to find mad scientists or Nobel Prize winners? The purpose of labs is to get hands on experience. The student gains analytical thinking by discovering things on their own, said chemistry teacher Debra Krause. Labs occur once in every six day cycle. Generally, experiments are conducted to prove ttieories or laws. Chemistry students spend their lab period combining chemicals to produce a reaction, while physics students focus on matter and Newton's three laws. I have physics and I really like the labs because I learn a lot from them, not to mention that they help to boost my grades, said junior Kelly Jandrisovits. Other labs occur in our school. Biology II classes meet for one period. The highlights of the year include dissecting the shark, nectorus, and cat. Susan Stolt LABS WHAT'S THE POINT?. Putting their heads together.

Pratical arts : A head start on life w hat do budgeting, cooking, sewing, and child care have in corn-mom? A student can learn all of these skills in both home economics and singles living. Alice Keim, returning from a maternity leave, again taught home economics. The days Keim spent at home were used to revise material and to create new activities for her students. “Home economics can not really be changed but the material may be updated and new activities can be added.” said Keim. While studying about child development. home economics students put their learning into action. Students visited the Child Care Center in Northampton where they worked with children. Veteran Jan Thomas returned to teaching singles living after teaching at the junior high for four years. New ideas, such as caring for a child, came with Thomas return. “I feel students should be exposed to relationships,” said Thomas. A marital relationship played a role in the singles living course. Each stu- dent chose a partner to which they were married. The couple then developed a baby from a five pound bag of sugar. The “sugar baby” was carefully cared for for three days. After this time, the child was brought back to class to be examined. “The marriage and the baby helped teach us about responsibilities adults must face.” said Jessica Weiner.

This is one of the most important questions a high school student has to answer. With more options being opened, the decision has become harder. Would I like to study a trade or do what my parents want and go to college? Students who choose college prep have a larger selection of courses to pick from and have a better chance to advance themselves to a four year college. I chose college prep because it will prepare me for my college years, stated senior Matt Heiny. Although vo-tech has its advantages, too. The students spend half of the day at the high school and the other half at either the Northampton or Bethlehem Vo-Tech. “I got interested in drafting when my brother brought his work hom,e and I thought I might like it, stated BAVTS student Mike Saylor. Despite the pressure put on you from friends, counselors, and parents to make course selections, you can always change your mind. “Most students think that once you make a decision, you’re stuck with it.

It was added to offer stu-ients different art options. “Mechanical drawing is interesting, ve always been a good artist, and row I can do something meaningful ind not just doodling, said Sean Sell. The renovations expanded the area and provided modern equipment for the industrial arts section. Woodshop received a mitre saw and dust collection apparatus including a dustbuster and an air purification system. Mechanical drawing received computers for drafting this year. The renovations have given us the opportunity to work with better equipment,” stated Tom McGovern. Industrial arts has long given a student a chance to get a grip on something other than classes and tests. It allows a student to experience a trade. Mechanical drawing and woodshop provide a credit towards graduation, allowing a student to become a well-rounded individal. “I took industrial arts just to fill my requirement, but now I’m glad I took it, said Todd Antoniuk.

Finishing up her speech in drama class, Jen Getz utters those three famous words. The drama class does not only teach students the basics of drama, but also about controlling their voice to get a more profound meaning. The class teaches students to stress vowels, as well as work with their voice intonation. STANDING OUT FROM THE CROWD. Standing alone on stage. BJ Milheim does his presentation for the drama class. Milheim picked out an author and without naming the author's name he had to describe him and his work. He also had to describe the symbolism in the author's poems and left the class to decide who the author was. Kim Remaly Kim Remaly Performing arts: Speaking their minds or many people, speaking and performing in front of people is not an easy task. Drama class and public speaking help students with these fears. Ann Gaughan leads both classes. The purpose is to introduce students to the foundations and then specifics behind drama and public speaking. The public speaking class meets every day. The main objective of the class is to expose students to speaking in front of an audience. “It really helps me. When I first spoke, I was nervous, but I've learned to calm down while speaking,” stated senior Sarah Stromwell. The speeches encompass a range of topics. They can be humorous, demonstrate something, take a side in a debate topic, or can be about a serious current event. The drama class has the same basic objective as the public speaking class--to educate the students about the subject. I know a lot about performing, but I r took the drama class in hopes of learning more,” stated Troy Thrash. Thrash appeared in the plays put on by the drama club. He has been acting since he was a sophomore. The drama class is educated on the subjects then they perform them in front of the class. The subjects can be a traditional play or a comedy.

If you are prepared then everything just flows out easily. stated class member Sandy Springer. The drama class runs fourth period everyday and is held in the auditorium. PERFORMING ARTS ! Studies: A major necessity love homework. I just cannot wait to go home and do it.” These words are not utterered very often, neither in nor out of school. Homework is a necessity in your every day academic life; however, most students disagree with this statement. I just can't seem to find the time to do it. When I do put a good effort into it, I just get frustrated,” said Jonathan Siegfried. Many teachers view homework differently. Some believe it is their re- sponsibility to make sure the students are getting it done. They do this by checking, collecting, or grading it. “It doesn’t bother me if it is done incorrectly, as long as they are doing it to the best of their abilities, said Joe Zettlemoyer. The pupils are not always forced to do all of their work at home. Their schedules are arranged to include study halls, which are free periods in which the students can do their assignments. “I do the majority of my homework in study halls. They really help me out, especially during wrestling season,” stated Ed Youwakim. Homework can either boost or drop one’s grade. It is the student’s own responsibility to complete their homework; therefore, it is in their own hands whether their grade is highered or lowered. “Doing my homework really helps my grade in calculus. It can even raise it a whole letter, said Peter Foder. Brian Witmer Caroline Green COME UP FOR AIR. While working diligently on his test. Jim Anthony contemplates the answer to the next question. Even though studying takes a lot ot his time, he still enjoys playing golf and tennis.

Initially. the newspaper class rotated around the publication of the school newspaper, the Concrete Courier. Today, the Creative Encounters class focuses on all forms of writing in addi- tion to the newspaper. The class is what the name implies, creative writing. It includes short stories, descriptive writing, narrative writing and poetry. There is a balance between creative writing and journalistic writing, said advisor Theresa Glessner. One project undertaken by the class is the publication of the Concrete Courier. This hard work was accomplished by 23 students, five of which held editor positions. Mike Ruth was the editor- in-chief. The four other editors were Pete Nush, Kelly Jandrisovits, Robbin Hunsberger and Deanne Stout. The staff searched for ideas to report in the school paper. Dedication and perseverance made it all possible. The newspaper is a lot of hard work and it takes up a lot of time, but the end result makes it worthwile,” said Ruth.

Several members of the yearbook staff display their layouts. For most of them, it was their first chance to do a layout, the others just practiced what they already knew. The staff went to classes at Lycoming where advisors taught them the rules and regulations of layout. SHE'S GOT CHARACTER. Kathy Spengler uses a copy key to find out the character count for her story She multiplied the vertical measurement by the horizontal measurement and got the total number of characters she needed for her copy. The copy key can also be used for character counts on captions. Dave Kovach PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. Matt Remhard crops down a picture to be used in the yearbook. A cropper is used to cut away unneeded space on the outside of the picture while still keeping the original shape of the picture the same. When it's finished, there is no unwanted space on the picture Kim Amptennian: it it it it Making it better U ecision making is a big part of Amptennian, and they've proved their choices were for the best. Perhaps the major decision by the staff was the ommission of senior write-ups. The staff took a vote and decided against including write-ups in the book. The write-ups were left out because of the time involved in doing them, and the staff had no way of deciphering the innuendos contained in them. Despite petitions from the senior class and parent confrontations, the staff followed through with their decision. I can see their point of view, but I’m doing what I think is best for the yearbook, said Editor-in-Chief Cathy Herschman. Producing a book for the student body was hard, but worth it. Although we worked hard and put in long hours, you felt as though you were really a part of something, said Assistant Editor Nicole Nicrone. Herschman accepted the Keystone Award, the highest one given in the state, on behalf of last year's staff. “I was honored to accept it for them,” said Herschman. The staff also attended workshops at Lycoming College over the summer. It was run by Jostens Yearbook and Printing Company, who publishes the yearbook.

Vo-Tech: ’ ' ★★ Starting off in the job market Jigger isn't always better The Northampton Branch Vo-Tech is a satellite building of the Bethlehem Area Vo-Tech. All students who take classes here attend Northampton High School with the exception of a few students from Bethlehem, who take cosmetology here due to overcrowding at Bethlehem. The Northampton High School is very cooperative. We work together closely to do the best that we can,” stated John Sandrene, Assistant Di- rector. With only five classes and a smaller population, the students share a closeness among themselves and with the teachers. The trades learned here are auto body and auto mechanics, carpentry, masonary, and cosmetology. Cosmetology is harder here because we more or less have to teach ourselves due to the number of students,” stated Janet Arner. There isn't much of a difference where activities are concerned between the BAVTS and the satellite. One common element in both is the vocational clubs of America. VICA is tech's student council. In addition, the students enter a number of competitions like prepared speech contests, job interview contests, and job skill contests. For fun they hold dances and participate in parades. This year they even held a lip sync contest. “We get more one on one training, because there are not as many students in each class. This also gives the teachers more time to spend with each one of us individually, said Roger Holcomb, and auto mechanic and auto body student. NlC01e Niao, VO-TECH ONE TO GROW ON.

The Bethlehem Area Vo-Tech offers just that, and this year they focused on the technology course. As a result of a great deal of research into the Lehigh Valleys’ occupational needs nation at large, a technical program came about. For example, the smoke stack industry is being shut down due to the growth of the light and technical industry. The result is the loss of employers like the Bethlehem Steel and Mack Trucks. For students interested in computer related activities, engeneering, and service industries, the technical program proves to be an opportunity to consider. Computers are everywhere. To survive in the future you will have to know how to use them,” stated Greg Pokorny. To be sure of their major at BAVTS, students, as sophmores, go through a program designed to help them. The students attend three courses which most interest them for four and a half weeks at a time. By doing this they get a feel for each skill.

One of the classes within the construction cluster is masonary. Students who take this class learn to build structures from brick, concrete, cinder, gypsum block, and ceramic glazed tile. Drafting teaches students how to make accurate plans for buildings, in- cluding blueprints. The students usually become draftspersons and have the option to go on to be an architect. “I always liked to draw and the class seemed to be for me. I am getting all the experience I need to become an architect,” stated Alan Hartzell. The most overpopulated course is cosmetology. These future cosmetologists learn techniques to improve a persons’ appearance. Whether it be styling hair or doing a manicure, 1250 hours must be put in in order to take the State Board Examination. “My family has been in cosmetology and because I also liked to work with hairstyling, I wanted to carry on the tradition,” stated Sonya Holubowski. At vo-tech, students can get actual hands on training by going out on the job. This opportunity called co-op is offered to seniors with a “C” average or above.

During this exchange, students attended classes to see what life is like in other schools. VliLOip Not only has the Youth Education Association seen a change of advisors, but a whole new set of projects and activities to make the club an active part of students’ lives. The club’s ambition is to make education more fun and to get people involved in community related events. “Although the club has been dormant in the past, this group wishes to become the most visible and highly acclaimed club in the school,’’ stated advisor, Donna Baur. Along with the interests of the club, the number of involved students has doubled from last year. The members take part in deciding 13 what should be done. “We decide the events that we would like to do. We show them to Mrs. Baur who improves the idea and gets them approved by Mr.Kovacs,” said treasurer Kelly Crowell. The most visible and rewarding project was the Ugly Man on Campus contest. The purpose of the contest was to raise money for Larry Reiss, a former YEA member’s father who had a heart operation. “Although the contest proved to be a challenging project of the year, being able to help someone makes up for the long hours that in to make it a success,” stated president Joely Smith.

The result of these competitions determined eligibility for scholarships offered to DECA and FBLA members by various organizations. Secretarial, accounting and business-related students were tested in FBLA competitions. The competition consisted of a one- hour written test. ‘‘The tests given at FBLA competitions are centered on developing the students into young entrepreneurs.” said Tom Neiper, FBLA advisor. DECA students were not only tested in marketing and business management but also in instructional areas such as social skills or buying and selling. The evaluation consisted of a written test and role play. For example, a student wishing to manage a business was placed in an actual restaurant and given situations to react to. ‘‘The purpose of DECA competitions is for the student to take what they have learned and apply it to a competitive atmosphere,” said Pat Vulcano, DECA advisor.

In the back ground Mike Silberman takes pleasure in having his picture snapped with Pieroni. What is it like leaving home for an entire year? What is it like visiting other parts of the world? Well, the American Field Service deals with these questions frequently. The exchange program tends to be AFS' primary concern. It offers a student the opportunity to see how someone of a different nationality lives. Exchangees think long and hard about where they want to travel because their decision will determine their lifestyle for the next year. “The first thing you want to do is come home, but it gets better, said Mike Ruth. Ruth traveled as a summer exchange to Argentina and will return for an entire year this fall. “It was a great experience. I think people should try it if they feel they can,” said Ruth. This year the school gave homes to four foreigners: Antie Drulce of West Germany, Santiago Moran of Equador, Samantha Svensson of Sweden, and Jackie Vargas of Bolivia. While all four enjoy America, they wish for the familar sights of home. I miss my friends, family, and homeland,” said Drulce. AFS activities are sponsored by the clubs fundraisers. “Fundraisers are a pain but well worth it,” said Kim Hower. HURRY UP. Craving the taste of holiday punch.

The Math Club, advised by Robert Esch, gives the students an opportunity to work out difficult mathematical problems. “The first two problems everyone gets but the last two are complicated, said Jen Karmonick. Despite the Debate Club and Scholastic Scrim- mage losses, the teams spent long hours testing their knowledge in order to compete with other schools locally. “The people involved in these clubs are mainly interested in learning and expressing their ideas, said advisor Ronald Reed.

The Leo club is in its third year of existence at Northampton. “The purpose of the Leo club is to help the community. stated Vice President Jim Sikonic. If the purpose is to help the community, the Leo club is doing a good job. They fed a family on Thanksgiving, raised money for the blind association, and held a hay-ride. They also held bingo night at the Phoebe home and attended a conference of all Leo chapters throughout the area at Muhlenberg College. The Leo club did something extra special around Christmas by adopting two, grandmothers, Jean Yelsits and Hanna Bruch, of the Hampton House. “I'm happy to be a part of the Leo club; they're a great bunch of kids,” said Yelsits. Compared to Leo, Interact is a relative youngster. This is the group’s first year in the school. It took awhile, but they finally got the ball rolling by staging some of their own events. Interact got its foot in the door by holding a Christmas party in December. They also visited the Hampton House to decorate and to distribute fruit baskets to the elderly citizens in the home. I think this group has a chance to be a major part of the community, stated President Aaron McComb.

Gaughn directed the fall play, “Up the Down Staircase.” “This was one of the best experiences of my life. Afterwards, you seem to only remember the glory not the pain, stated Gaughn. The show focused on a new teacher’s struggle in a New York high school. Sylvia Barrett, the new teacher and star of the show, was portrayed by Sarah Stromwell. Stromwell is no stranger to the stage, for she starred in “Working , “Peter Pan , and “Winnie the Pooh . “Drama has brought me everything I've al- ways wanted. We've sang and played, laughed and cried on stage as one big family. Looking back, I'm filled with much love and satisfaction, said Stromwell. The male lead role featured Jared Frick in his first performance on stage. He played Paul Barringer, a teacher at the same school as Barrett. “Paul usually avoided other people. That’s how I am, sometimes, so it wasn’t hard to adjust, said Frick. Thd play provided Gaughn with an opportunity to assess the talents of the drama club since the cast included 30 characters. “They are a dedicated, spirited, industrious group. Their goal is excellence, and I see that both on and off stage, said Gaughn. HEAVEN HELP US Thad Szabo appears to be pleading to a higher authority while performing the part of a student in the play.

H.O.P.E., Helping Other People Emotionally, consists of a group of students who support teenagers with suicidal tendencies and aid them in their time of need. It brings a warm feeling to me knowing I could change someone’s whole life with a little push in the posi- tive direction, said President Sandy Springer Students Against Drunk Driving are always trying to discover new methods and ideas to prevent students from driving under the influence of alcohol. We are trying to impress the general point that it is wrong to drink and drive. We are also trying to prove that previous generations were wrong,” stated advisor Robert Bryant. Similar to SADD, the Drug and Alcohol Task Forcfe was formed in our school to help stop the deadly war against drugs and alcohol. The group meets with committees from other schools once a month.

Members of the Big N” Band drum line Bill Horn and Doug Smith keep their eyes on drum major Monica Jurasits while following the directions she gives. Knowing the amount of hard work and time put into this, the unit strives for flawless performance. hrom the hot summer practices of August to the cold, blustery Friday night games, the Big “N” Band proudly displays their talents to all. Since 1962, the Big “N” Band has been a symbol of the product that stems from hard work and determination. “It may be really time consuming and sometimes the practices seem to go on forever, but when you're out there on the field in competition, you get an overwhelming feeling of pride and you know it’s all worth it,” stated junior drum major Val Miller. The thing that made this year better than ever was the 25th anniversary of the band. Knowing they had followed the tradition for 25 years made the band even more determined to be the best they could be. “The Big “N” Band has been an institution at NHS for 25 years. It gives me a feeling of satisfaction to know we sound as good, if not better, than they did when the band just started out,” stated director Mark Jonkman. The best came together again in a special alumni band which helped celebrate the anniversary. Even though the members only practiced two days together, the quality of their performance followed in the footsteps of the Northampton tradition. Kim Remaly SHOWING PRIDE.

In addition to parades and football games, the band also attends numerous competitions. BAND Caro r h Green he Big “N” Band is not only for musicians, but consist of girls that perform routines to the band's music. The rifle, twirler, pom, and silk squads add color and dexterity to the performance. Without the skills of these girls, the show would not be complete. “The squads work together instead of individually. They give the audience something to look at while listening to the music, stated director Mark Jonk-man. The rifle squad con-sits of girls that learn to toss rifles. “I've always wanted to learn how to toss the rifle.Through hard work, I've worked my way up to captain,” said Missy Shaw. The silk squad learned how to man-uver flags which add color to the show. “Working with a flag may look easy, but it takes practice to learn the technique,” said Captain Jen Roth. The dancers of the field are the poms. Their routines appeal to the audience. “Performing for the crowd makes me feel good, f know the squad adds to the show, said Co-Captain Lori Meiley.

The doubles teams won many matches which looked grim. A prime example was shown in the Em-maus match. They only won one sin- gles match, but all of the doubles matches were won by NHS going in the last match. The team of Cathy Herschman and Sue Beil were pitted against Emma-us' Jen Harry and Liz Erb. Herschman and Beil defeated their competition and brought home a victory. Emmaus was out best match. We've never beaten them before,” said Herschman. The top singles players consisted of Herschman, Beil, and Caroline Green. Herschman was ranked as the teams number one player.

The girls competed in tournaments throughout the year. The two important ones attended were the East Penn Tournament and the District XI Championships. Herschman, Beil, Green, Lehr, Reenock, Stott, Giana Herb, and Sherry Biechy attended the East Penn Tournament.

THE ONE TO WATCH: MIKE JENKINS Mike Jenkins has been involved in soccer since he joined the Youth Group Team in sixth grade. His knowledge and experience has made him an exceptional goalie. As a result of his ability, Jenkins received East Penn Conference Honorable Mention, Scholar Athlete and was chosen to play in the All-Star Soccer Classic. “He could become one of the better goalies in collegiate ball. He has the size, flexibility, and most of all, the knowledge of the game, said Coach Russ Salgado. The high point of Jenkins' last season came over their only win, P'burg. “Being a senior, the losses were a disappointment, but with the support of the coaches, no one gave up hope,” said Jenkins. In addition to being the starting goalie, he also held the position of cocaptain. Jenkins is also a member of SADD, LEO, National Honor Society and is the Senior Class President. “He was a leader both on and off the field,” said Salgado.

With a record of 17-1, the Kids wrestling was unbeatable. Holding the EPC title alone for the first time was more than just exciting, it also proved who was the best. Winning the EPC title was the greatest thing that happened even though we lost to Nazereth. We proved how great we really are.” said Jar-rid Konya. Sharing the title with Easton last year made the team strive to achieve the goal of being number one all alone. After beating Easton in the dual match up. the Kids knew the title was theirs. When we beat Easton. I was sure that no one could come between us and the title. Easton was a tough team, but we knew we had a job to do. and we proved to everyone we were the best,” stated Mike Reenock. The next step was to capture the District XI title. That meant wrestling like never before, and that’s what they did. Not only did the Kids receive the District XI title . but they also crowned two gold medalists, Ed Youwakim and Kevin Smith. Both of these wrestlers, along with Rian Youwakim, Don Sur-anofsky, and Mike Recker competed at states. Smith also finished first at Regionals. I'm happy for those who advanced to states, but I’m also disappointed. I felt more guys quali- fied, but couldn’t pull through,” stated assistant coach John Davis. Rohn was awarded Coach-of-the-Year by the area coaches. He has proven that with skill and determination he could produce a winning team. I did it for the guys, and without them I couldn’t have done it,” stated Don Rohn.

THE ONE TO WATCH: ED YOUWAKIM With an outstanding record of 19-3, Ed Youwakim has shown that by working hard to overcome obstacles you can be ranked as one of the best. After being diagnosed with having a hernia and told by his doctor he could not wrestle, Youwakim was determined to overcome his setback. “I was upset and thought I wouldn’t be able to wrestle all year. But I had to do it because this was my last chance,” said Youwakim. Once back on his feet, Youwakim jumped right into the season continuing to strive towards his goals. “When I first started again I was out of shape, but I only got stronger,” stated Youwakim. Because of his season record, Youwakim earned a first seed in Districts. Here Youwakim proved that he was unbeatable and by winning a gold medal. “Winning the gold medal was my main goal,” said Youwakim. Youwakim went into regionals placing third, qualifying him for states. In addition to his wrestling ability, Youwakim is involved in Student Council.

Despite his lack of confidence, Wallace stuck with it and went on to run cross country for three more seasons. Although this year’s team was plagued with injuries, Wallace managed to run his best season. “Even though I didn’t get the feel of winning often, I did get the feeling of accomplishment and pride every time I finished a race,” said Wallace. Wallace, a senior, plans to run cross country in college and major i$ social sciences. This summer he attended boot camp and plans to take ROTC in college. Ryan is also involved in both the Drama and YEA clubs. Andy Franklin A PERFECT PACE. An important part of running cross country is to set up and run at your own pace.

HOPE FOR A s part of life, everything takes time to mature and develop. The boys’ cross country team was no exception to the rule, for their inexperience produced an obstacle which was difficult to overcome. “The injuries that were suffered by two of our top runners, took a big effect on the team putting excess pressure on the younger runners, stated Joe Wilgeroth. These injuries affected the intensity of the season because less experienced runners had to fill in the lineups. This, in turn, increased the team’s average score, making it extremely difficult to win. I feel that the experience I was giv- THE BEST en was something that benefited myself and next year’s team,” stated Chuck Hangen. The difficult season that these runners went through helped to produce many changes in their attitudes and techniques on how they prepared for competition. First, their attitude was directed solely towards winning, but as the season progressed, it changed to that of bettering themselves and their times. In retrospect, the team started to improve, and they were able to hold their own against the competition. The team managed to do more than hold its own against Dieruff, for here they recieved their first victory in the East Penn League. Later, they recorded their second win of the season by defeating Catasaqua. ‘‘Running isn't meant for everyone, but I think that if more people could understand the sense of accomplishment you get after a race, more people might try it, stated Ryan Wallace.

When the year began, the girls set out to become district champions. They knew an achievement would take hard work and great effort, but they were than will- ing to give it. That hard work paid off. The girls finished 3rd in the East Penn Conference. just behind Phillipsburg. With P’burg across the river, the team seemed to have a solid hold on a berth in the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association’s state finals. But a berth wasn’t good enough for Jamie Surface, Robbin Hunsberger and Ginger Nagy as they led their team to the AAA girl’s district title. After receiving a medal at leagues, my goal was just to finish in the top six at districts. My next goal was to make it to states,’’ stated Surface. Support also came from Joanne Stofanak who kicked past three runners in the final fifty meters to give the girls the victory and the district championship. “I knew what had to be done, so I blocked everything out of my mind and I set out to do it.” said Stofanak. As champions, the girls represented District XI in the PIAA state meet. Here they placed 17th in a field of 22. ‘‘It was a great accomplishment to have two of our runners in the top 100,” stated Coach Thomas Keim. “Sometimes it seemed to be painful and endless, but as it came to an end, I knew it would be something that I’d miss,” stated Jen Nyce.

She also had to prepare herself during the offseason by running in the summer. “I run during the summer to keep in shape and to prepare myself for the seasons ahead, although it is less frequent then because I hate to run alone,” said Hunsberger. Hunsberger has been on the cross country team for four years. She was encouraged by her father, who was a runner in high school and on the Penn State team. “I did not want to run at first, but after some persuasion from my father, I joined the cross country team.

My father and I would golf almost every weekend, stated Pelliciotta. Through hours of practicing, Pelliciotta has achieved many honors. He represented NHS in Districts three years, consecutively. Pelliciotta was chosen as a sophomore to represent our school. He was chosen to the second team for the East Penn Conference, and he also placed second in leagues. I accomplished more then I thought I would this year, but when I think back, I could have accomplished more if I hadn’t choked so much,” said Pelliciotta. Besides being an important player on the golf team, Pelliciotta plays on the varsity baseball team and works on the Amptennian staff. Kim Erce DRIVING FOR VICTORY. Through a lot of hard work, Rob Pelliciotta shows the skills that have ranked him above the rest. He strived to place in leagues and reached his goal by placing second. His average for the year was 81.5. Kim Erceg JLF In a word, the main weapon is... CONSISTENCY P onsistency was the word for this year’s golf team. Norhtamp-ton’s golf team ignited a flame that has been extinguished for a while, a winning season. The season was sparked by key players such as Rob Pelliciotta, Shawn Hughes, Jim Anthony, and Tom Tomasic. Rob Pelliciotta led the team with an 81.7 average. “This year we had the potential and we played up to it,” said Rob Pelliciotta. Most of the players competed last year giving them an added year of experience which seemed to pay off. “The team was old talent getting better,” stated Heidi Keglovits. Some players had the talent and put it to good use, making them award winners. Pelliciotta received a medal for his performance at the league tournament. Keglovits chested a fourth place finish at Districts which qualified her for the state tournament in Hershey, PA. Her performance was not quite up to par. Many moments will stick with the players, but some will seem more memorable than others. “Central Catholic was a great match. Central said it would be a miracle if we won, and we did,” stated Pelliciotta. Coach Chuck O’Donnell has guided his team to its first winning season since its restart last year. Northampton’s home stomping ground is Willow-brook’s nine-hole course in Catasau-qua. The course is short which definitely helps the players who cannot hit the long ball. “It was sometimes a challenge for the other teams, but we could always count on our scores being low.” said Pelliciotta.

I went out for the team in ninth grade when my gym teacher suggested it, said Jen Hetfelfinger. After tough practices from Coach Debbie Anthony, she became the starting centerback. “During practice you wonder why you’re out; but after the season's over you realize it was worth it,” said Hetfelfinger. This year she received All-Star Team Honorable Mention and named to the senior All-Stars. It's not something that you think of during the season, so I was shocked when I heard it,” said Hetfelfinger. This year’s big surprise came in tying Emmaus 0-0 “It brought us together as a team, said Hetfelfinger. Heffelfinger stated that defense played a big role because most of the games came down to defense. Despite a losing season of 6-10-2, she was optimistic.

The squad then continued to win three more games, one against Whitehall to bring the Cement Bowl trophy back across the Lehigh River after a one year stay in Whitehall. In their fifth game they stumbled against Dieruff. “Dieruff was the toughest team we faced all year. Everything they tried that night seemed to work,” said Melosky. During the next five games the Kids showed a 3-2 record. In their last game against Easton, Northampton was playing for a spot in the District XI Championship game. The Red Rovers were just too big and quick for the team and won convincingly. The only opponent left was their arch rival Catasaqua. We knew the Catty game would be tough coming off an emotional letdown at Easton, stated fullback Mike Bodnar. Finding themselves down 10-0 at halftime, the game looked like another Turkey Day without a victory. Quarterback Dan Howard was replaced by Jim Filipovits, who rallied the team in the 2nd half.

L espite injuries and the loss of some key seniors, the boys’ swim team stuck it out and maintained a winning season. “The injuries and sickness hurt us a little bit in some of the close meets, but it wasn’t enough to affect the whole season,” said Dennis Heffelfinger. The team ended with a 6-5 record and received support from the underclassmen, such as Chris Spevak, Kevin Remaly, Chris Gio-venco and Dean Balias. ‘‘The younger guys swam well and helped us surprise some teams.’’ stated Carmen Giovenco. The major surprise was the victory over Easton. It was the first time in five years they barely beat us, so this year we got revenge,” said Heffelfinger. Coach Gwen Whilden and new Assistant Coach Rick Cabrey felt that the loss of key seniors Mike Nemeth and John Ebner had bad effects on the team. “During the past four years, the team has had many talented individuals, but this year the talent appears to be in the numbers more than individually,” stated Whilden. In Districts the team fared pretty well, coming in sixth as a team. Michael McGillis placed third in the 50 freestyle and Carmen Giovenco placed third in the 100 breaststroke. “I was disappointed because I didn’t make states. I missed it by .29 seconds,” stated McGillis. Coach Whilden was happy with them and their times. “It would have been nice for them to make it to states, but they tried their best. All their times dropped and they swam well,” said Whilden. Rob PeHootta 4 NHS OPP Liberty Dieruff Emmaus Freedom Blue Mtn.

THE ONE TO WATCH: CARMEN GIOVENCO The life of a fish could get a little boring, but Carmen Giovenco has many 'tails' to tell. I started swimming when I was 10 years old, so I've been swimming for seven years, stated Giovenco. Being captain of the boys’ team this year is one of his accomplishments. Last year he placed third in districts in the medley relay. In both '87 and '88 districts, he placed third in the 100 yard breaststroke. The first time I went in the water I could swim breaststroke No one had to teach me,” said Giovenco. Because he picked breaststroke up so easy, Giovenco’s parents pushed him to swim. Now they don't have to make him, but they continue to give him support along with his coaches. I hated going to practice, so without my parents and my coaches, I wouldn't be where I am today,” stated Giovenco. Today Giovenco can be considered a well-rounded individual. He was nominated as an Academic All-American, ranks 14th in a class of 487 + and was February's Boy of the Month. Giovenco will be attending the Air Force Academy and plans on majoring in engineering to be a pilot.

To gain extra length when swimming. Missy Newhard stretches for her next event the butterfly. In four years of competitive swimming, she has made a mark in NHS's history by breaking records. “No one on the girls’ swimming team can be labeled as being the best. We all work together to achieve the same goals and to win,” said Melissa Newhard. Newhard has been achieving her goals on the swim team for four years , but her decision to start swimming came many years ago. “One of the reasons why I chose to swim competively was because my sister was on the team during high school,” stated Newhard. Her strong determination to excel is carried on through the off season. Summertime she swims and conditions for a local swim team. “Running and lifting weights helps me stay fit and keeps me in shape for the next season,” said Newhard. Swimming and pumping iron aren’t the only activities in Newhard’s life. She is a member of SADD, National Honor Society, and student council secretary. At one point in her life, she modeled for John Casablanca Studios. “Swimming has caused a conflict with modeling. I no longer can kee my weight down to what the.agency wants.” stated Newhard. Although Newhard keeps herself occupied in her spare time, she still devotes much time to her athletic ability. Michelle Schfamel GIRLS' SWIMMING Even though they had a weak season, they still... CAPTURED THE GOLD. A fter a 6-7 final record, the girls' swim team finished in fourth place at districts. The season • was a disappointment. It was the worst season we had in eight years, but we did have a winning season and finished in the upper half of the division. Even though we didn’t do as well as we had in the past, the season was still successful,” said coach Gwen Whilden. Individually, the team members ended the season as winners. Seven girls qualified for the District 11 swim meet. Four of these girls continued to compete in the state level competition. The main reason we didn’t do as well during the season is because we were hampered by illnesses and hospitalizations. Luckily, everybody was better by the time Districts came around,” said Whilden. At Districts, the 200 yard medley relay team, consisting of Lori Williams, Mary Ann Recica, Melissa Newhard, and Heather Medei, finished in first place. Williams placed first in the 100 yard backstroke and second in the 200 yard individual medley. Newhard finished first in the 100 yard butterfly. The successful times in each event qualified these girls for states. “It’s great to do so well at Districts. It helped me to gain confidence when I did the best time in the relay and especially when we won the team relay. At states. I hope to do my best time in the relay and that our relay team will do as well as last year’s,” stated Williams A week later at states, Williams placed third in the 100 yard backstroke and 12th in the 200 individual medley. Newhard finished 22nd in the 100 yard butterfly and the 200 medley relay finished 24th. STROKE.

T, he boys’ basketball team set three goals for itself at the start of the season: to win the league, to make it to districts and to make it to states. Of their three goals, the league title was out of reach, but the team placed third in districts which qualified them for states. The team was 4-0 before losing in their own tournament to Lehighton. Going into a four game stint with the top teams in the league, the team was 10-3, coming out they were 11-6. “Right from the start we were pumped up for the season. We knew we had a shot at taking the league title. It all came down to the four games with Allen, Central, P’burg, and Dieruff. If we would have won three out of four we would have been tied for first,” said point guard Matthew Szerencsits. In the first game of the league tournament at Liberty, the Kids played Easton and lost cancelling any hopes of a league title. They qualified for districts with a 15-9 season record. “When we beat Pocono Mountain in the opening round of districts, we thought we might have a shot at the title. In the next game we had to beat Whitehall in the consolation round to go to states, said Szerencsits. A lot of changes occured this year for the team.

On January 19, 1988, the crowd watched with anticipation when on a three point shot Fromhartz passed the 1000 mark, becoming one of three 1000 point scorers in the history of Northampton basketball. “It was a great feeling because all the years of hard work paid off, stated Fromhartz. Not only did Fromhartz score 1000 points but at the meeting against Parkland, he broke the school record with 1,191 points, beating 1972 basketball star Greg Vogel's 1,174 points. Joining the team back in the seventh grade paid off. Next year, he will be attending Monmouth College on a full scholarship. “Getting this scholarship to school is my greatest accomplishment because only a select few get them,” said Fromhartz. Fromhartz feels that his team helped him in achieving all of his goals, especially Matt Szerenscits. “There is no way I could have done it without all the guys on the team,” stated Fromhartz.

It was an honor, said Grannetino. Helping Grannetino to play her best, coach Mike Schneider influi enced her most. As a sophomore, Schneider gave Grannetino advice she will never forget. Between my ninth and tenth grade years, I feel I grew the most ir basketball since Schneider was always ready to listen and help me,” said Grannetino.

Kathy Spengie- With two years under her belt, Malone guides the team to... .A WINNING SEASON. t improvement comes from hard |work and great ef-‘ fort, the girls’ basketball team exhibited two elements • that definitely showed through during the season. With the talent of the squad that had returned, the team had every reason to believe that they would acquire a winning season--something that had slipped away in previous years. Since everyone was back from last year’s team, we knew that the possibility for an excellent season was definitely within our reach, said forward Frances Bealer. At the conclusion of the regular season, everyone realized that they had reached the potential of their pre- season expectations, first by posting a 14-4 East Penn Conference regular season record and secondly, by qualifying as the fourth seed in the EPC tournament. Although we were only the fourth seed, the tournament still gave us an opportunity to better an already fantastic season by becoming EPC champs, stated Erin Dietz. With the advent of a six team tournament to determine the EPC champion, the girls still salvaged another chance to grasp the title and a banner season. Unfortunately, their loss to Allen in the quarter-finals of the tournament shattered the girls’ dream of becoming league champions. In the District playoffs the girls ended their season with a two point loss to Freedom. The team produced an EPC first team all-star in Kate Granne-tino and second team all-star honors were given to Erin Dietz. Kate and I being named to the first and second all EPC team made the season even better,” stated Dietz.

PROVED THE SQUAD TO BE THE BEST I o be the best means to look the best, but the Northampton cheerleaders found that hard work and practice comes along with being the best. The role of every cheerleader is to bring school spirit and to bring the school together,” stated captain Tamara Strike. The cheerleaders know how to bring out the best in our school through their determination and dedication.- That dedication finally paid off when the squad received third place at the Beach Boys' competition and the Best All-Around at summer camp. The coaches told us we were the most original and precise, the overall best they have seen all summer, stated Strike. Besides bringing the girls closer together, camp helped them improve and learn new cheers and sidelines. It's important that the squad be close because it helps us in our performances, stated Janet Tashner. The captains chosen must have the best leadership qualities. Strike was faced with two new changes this year. She was the first junior to hold a cocaptain position and, she became the first solo captain after senior Meredith McClellan quit. “I thought someone else would be picked to take Meredith's place,” stated Strike. The cheerleaders had a year long jotj by supporting the school's athletic teams and participating in the pep-rally. But the one thing they strived for was the Penn State Ozontz competition' This competitior is important to us because it proves who the best reall) are, stated Michelle Mittnacht.

CHEERLEADING THE ONE TO WATCH: TAMARA STRIKE The cheerleading squad has gone through many changes, and for Tamara Strike, those changes proved her to be one of the best. During the summer, Strike was chosen as co-captain of the varsity squad. This was the first time a junior held such a position. “Our coach wanted to try something new this year because then she would have a girl with two years of experience as captain.” stated Strike. Another change came when senior co-captain Meredith McClellan decided to hang up her saddle shoes. This led Strike to be the first solo captain. “I really thought someone else would be chosen because I am only a junior.” stated Strike. Besides cheerleading, she was a member of the track team, powder puff. LEO. and was junior class vice-president. “I will cheer for my senior year because it is important for me to show that we can be number one,” stated Strike. E� n Kotow LEADER OF THE PACK.

Each sophomore, junior, senior, faculty member, and administrator does his her part to see that NHS is something to be proud of. That pride generates a feeling - a feeling of spirit that is displayed throughout the school year at various activities that take place. We support each other to produce something to be proud of. We are the best of the bunch. We are what makes NHS better than the best and we do it together. WHAT'S NEXT?

For the teachers new to our school, starting their job brought on confusion and mixed feelings about how the year would turn out. “Keeping up with the pace and understanding new procedures was difficult. I would have rather used that energy on teaching the individual students.” stated Patricia Mighell. An unfamiliar system of daily paperwork due to the discipline changes caused a major upset for the new teachers. Not only did it effect the teachers, but it also forced the students to make the same adjustments. “Everyday brought on a new problem, whether it was not properly completing the attendance sheets of forgetting the wooden “N” pass in my previous classroom, stated Donna Baur.

I— ach year various changes are made to further develop the curriculum, changes that come about due to careful planning and research. Working with administrators and teachers through-•out the district, Robert Gil-ly. Director of Curriculum, was responsible for many of the changes that came about this past year. Through graduate surveys distributed every few years, and through workshops, Gilly is better able to decide what changes were necessary. .« ‘‘Surveying the graduates puts up some flags for us. They let us know what is happening out there and what we need to improve on, said Gilly. A major change took place in the English Department with the addition of a mandatory research paper done by each student ' We received a lot of feedback that students were not knowledgable on how to do any type of research, said Gilly. Due to the research paper, library skills improved. According to Librarian Sally Madden, research in the library was up 100 percent. Another major change in curriculum occured in Social Studies. Juniors were no longer able to choose which course to take in eleventh grade but were forced to take government and economics. “We wanted to focus more on contemporary is- sues and decided that the junior year is better so that in the senior year, the student is open for their own decision, stated Gilly. Those in charge of curriculum development are always looking to refine programs. Michelle Schleicher Dave Kovach CHECKING IT OUT As a result of the changes in curriculum development.

For the NASD Wellness Committee, that and other goals make up the basis of their program. The first few meetings were to establish our goals, then we developed these goals into a program to benefit as many district employees as possible, said committee member Mary Hagely. The Wellness Committee has become more than a meet once a month group. During the course of a year, they had organized tennis, softball, and volleyball tournaments, trips to New York City and Atlantic City, a rafting trip, and a cross country ski trip. They have also give their input to benefit the community as well. “One of the major accom- plishments was our input into the ban on smoking in school and on school grounds,” state member Joan Pristash. • Committee pushes for better environment. years, some teachers complained about the lack fo discipline found in our high school. Consequently, the administration decided to do something about the , students’ blatent disregard for the rules and with the help of the faculty, formed the Faculty Liaison Committee. The committee felt the biggest problem was the large amount of students roaming the halls during their free time. As a result of the need to control the students, this group brought about the much protested wooden N” and the hall pass system. Most students complained they were being treated like elementary school children, but the committee put in long hours deliberating what could be done to control the students running rampant in •the halls. We got together over the summer to discuss this problem. The N and the hall passes seemed to be the only feasible solution, said committee member Joe Zettlemoyer. After resolving the hall pass problems, the committee discussed other issues they felt needed specific attention. “For now, our meetings are being held to iron out the bugs in the system at present, and later on, we will move onto the other problems that needed to be addressed here, said Zettlemoyer. The committee met on a specified day of each week to discuss these problems. Basically, what we do is work with administration to promote a better school environment, said Zettlemoyer.

Debate Advisor Teachers strive for highest potential. A long with new changes in the Northampton Area School District's appearance came new opportunities for the teachers. The Northampton Federation of Teachers is one of two teacher unionsd available to the teachers, the other is the Northampton Area Educators Association. The NFT, consisting of 25 NASD teachers, was formed as a result of disappointing negotiations made by the NAEA. “I was working a higher position, but not getting paid a higher price. NFT helped me get what I wanted, stated Donald Kindt. The NFT believes it can represent the professional staff more accurately. They also feel that the Northampton Area School District teachers deserve a better contract than they got. We wanted to start an association which we felt would better adjust to the needs of the teachers, stated Martin Sabo, AFT president. Kelly Merchen IMPROVING CONDITIONS. As a member of the union NFT, Marty Szabo plans the discussion to take place at the next meeting. Raising salaries and providing students with a better educational experience are just a few of the jobs the union addresses. A couple differences exist between NFT and NAEA. The NAEA dues are approximately $300 a year. The NFT dues are less expensive and more of the dues stay on the local level. The NFT also has free school related legal services. I did not feel like NAEA was helping us fast enough. I didn't lose anything by joining NFT stated Joe Zett-lemoyer. Teachers show they are people too. U id you ever wonder, while sitting in class listening to your teacher lecture on the most boring subject In the world, what the personalities were like outside of the three piece suit and pumps they wear to school? ’ Many teacher don't exhibit their true personalities while teaching in the classroom, but at 2:35 pm the real person comes out. Outside of their occupation, teachers are involved in activities similar to those of a student's. Some, in fact, still attend school. Mary Ann Miller •recently finished a class on endichronology at East Stroudsburg and continued with various courses in education. “I am working toward my masters degree in secondary education with a concentration in Biology, said Miller. , Other members of the faculty attend college, but Rebecca Buskirk isn’t a student. She teaches precollege algebra at Mulen-berg College and occasionally at the Northampton Area Community College. “Mary Hagley is the Youth advisor for high school students at the Sacred Heart Church in Bath. We do community and social work, and occassion-ally clothing drives and various activities for the church, said Hagley. Robert Bryant helps out society in a musical way. As the drummer of the Stoney Lonesome Band, Bryant displays his love for music playing classic rock songs from bands such as Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.

Starting as an Administrative Assistant 12 years ago, Frank Kovacs proved he was the best by becoming principal of Northampton High School. Growing up in Northampton made him familiar with the area although he graduated from Central Catholic. Kovacs never planned on becoming principal-every-thing just fell into place. As principal of NHS, he has seen many changes in our school, but none as great as the renovations that took place. “I believe from the time we began the renovations until now, there has been an added burden, but it has not fallen just on my shoulders,” stated Kovacs. Kovacs is proud of the school, but wishes the students had more pride. “Instilling greater pride in j; A 1 Dave Kovacft HAIL TO THE CHIEF.

Technically, Pristash is Vice-Principal Charles Dischinat's sectetary, Theresa Schafer is Frank Kovacs’ secretary and Janice Villegas is Vice-Principal Dr. Rizotto Moore's, but being a secretary in the main office involves much more than answering tele-. phones and making appointments. They help with salesmen and contractors and do budget work. The list is practically endless. Your mind has to be like a file cabinet, said Schafer. Such a variety of responsibilities gives the secretaries a chance to meet interesting people and keeps them busy. “It's never boring. You can work some hard jobs and then come to a high school to find a real challenge, said Villegas. Such an interaction with people has given the sectetaries an insight on teenagers throughout the years. Schafer and Pristash have been secretaries here for 25 and seven years, respectively, and have seen many changes. A major change is the dress of the student. When I came here, you didn’t see sweats. It's gradually be- come more casual, said Pristash. Fashion might change, but the importance of the secretaries never will. It is impossible not to have to enter the office during the school day.

I can’t be-ieve what he did! It's amazing!” Gossip is considered to be a major part of a high school teenager’s life. Without it, life would be dull, and there would be nothing new to talk about. Being a jock keeps me on top of the juicy gossip floating around the school, said Frankie Rudolph. A certain technique is required to keep the gossip juicy. How the story is told is a major necessity. A person has to know exactly what’s going on. He or she has to be able to tell the story from first hand experience, as if he was there. To get the good gossip, you definately have to know the right people, said Ken Garavaglia. There might be a certain way to get the scoop, but everyone still loves to gossip about someone else. When the tables are turned, though, and rumors are be- ing spread about them, they don't seem to like it too much. Guys and girls are like night and day when it comes to hearsay being said about them. Guys don’t really care if reports are being said about what they might have done over the weekend. Girls, on the other hand, flip their lids. When something is said about me, I get all paranoid. The first thing that comes to my mind is what I’m going to do to get back at the person who said it, said Caroline Youwakim. Girls may get bent out of shape, but gossip is a good way to find out what’s happening around the school. If you were grounded over the weekend, you still can find out who was with who, and where the awesome party was held. “I feel that gossip is both good and bad, said Sean O'Donnell. Michelle Schiamei Caroline Green DID YOU HEAR? Exchanging the latest smut picked up during the day. Charlene Leindecker and Jen Cesanek make it a daily ritual to inform each other on who's doing what with whom. Sometimes, the gossip gets blown out of proportion and becomes more fiction than fact. GOSSIP The choice is up to you. Pets can either be a good idea or a bad investment. Dave Kovach FURRY FELINES. Cuddling up to his cat, Joe Fota is one of the many who shows love and atttection to animals. Many people are insecure so they need to rely on their pets. I rely on my cat especially when I'm depressed because it gives me the support I need when I'm feeling down, stated Mike Cser. Animals have long given people some of the greatest moments of their lives, but it is known that even though these creatures are lovable pets they sometimes can turn evil or become a burden. A student comes home after school and no one is there to ask “How was school? or “I’m glad you’re home . Pets play the role of that companion to people who need that little buddy in their lives. “My dog offers support on those days when I need someone to talk to but no one is there,” said Sheila Ritter. Animals can also play an important part in the safety of your home. Would you break into a house which had a sign, ’’Beware of Dog , or would you think twice of leaving this home alone. “I feel much safer knowing my dog will protect us in danger,” said Shane Peters. The four-legged creatures can even offer a person a hobby or a means of income. Dan Berghold raises cows and then sells them for some weekend spending money. Harold Gross has raised three kittens from the wild into tame house cats. Raising the kittens gives me something to do than just school work, said Gross. There still remains a drawback to owning a pet. They can turn viscious and attack their owners. “My dog is everyone’s worst nightmare. She's already attacked six people,” said Steve Bodnar, who owns a Beagle. The choice of owning a pet is up to the individual. Both sides must be discussed before the choice is made.

Life is much different in America for the German-born Antje Drucke, but her new experiences and friends are making it seem a little more like home. I do miss home because of my friends although I have met many friends here and they have made life very pleasant,” said Drucke. Drucke made many of her friends by joining different activities and sports. She was involved in both field hockey and powder puff football. ‘‘In Germany we don’t have the team spirit and competition that you do. Nobody is ever behind you telling you that ‘you can do it!’ That kind of spirit helps give you confidence in yourself. We also don't compete against other schools,” stated Drucke. Another difference between Germany and America that Drucke has experienced is the school system. In Ger- many elementary school runs to grade four. After fourth grade students are given a choice to continue to one of three different schools. Drucke has chosen the school that allows her to go on to higher education. In addition, the school day is shorter. Students attend from 7:45 to 1:00, leaving them the afternoon to free time. “In Germany after school, my friends and I will meet at the library or in the city,” said Drucke. Spending time with her friends is one of Drucke’s many past times. She enjoys playing the flute, jazz dancing, and ice skating, but traveling is what she enjoys the most. I've been to many countries. I've visited Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Holland, Scotland, and England, stated Drucke. “I found my stay to be a lifetime experience,” said Drucke.

It’s the night before the big report is due, , a six page term pa- per. A panic begins to rise deep within yourself as you realize you haven't started it yet. It's all right though, you've done it before, you can do it again. You finally finish the report and promise never to wait until the last minute again. You've made the same promise a hundred , imes before but you know you will never keep it. The act of waiting until the last minute to complete homework or a report, “procrastination , has become a science by today’s high school student. Today's student is confronted by a serious disease -- laziness. The causes are a •tyet unknown, but it has been known to afflict every student within their high school career. “I’m too lazy to do it ahead of time. I figure I can get it done later, stated Scott Persing. Attitude is a major symptom of this. Without the proper attitude, a student lacks the drive to start and finish a project ahead of time. There is no telling what a student could do with the proper attitude. “I say to myself ‘Why do today what I can put off until tomorrow’. I say I’ll always do it tomorrow and before I know it. there is no tomorrow. said Charles Bloss. The activities some students take part in do not allow much time to do homework. “With sports I don't have time to do things ahead of, let alone on time, said Frances Bealer. There are a few students who like the pressure waiting until the last minute brings. To these students the pressure acts as a stimuli. Knowing that the work I'm doing is due tomorrow makes my mind work that much better, stated Shawn Cambell. Mike Bodnar Keay Merchen PUTTING IT OFF Doing the homework which is due fifth period.

Reaching the month of February brought a special moment for Lori Williams and Heather Medei. As best friends, they were able to share the celebration of their sixteenth birthday together. The found just a few seconds in the day to exchange gifts and a warm birthday greeting No more having to walk to the movies or beg for a ride downtown. The boy you have been secretly dating for months can finally meet the family. The magical day has arrived--you are now 16. For many young teens, 16 means greater freedom and along with this freedom comes added responsibilities. Even though my curfew was extended, my parents still hold me to the responsibility of making it home at the set time, said Rick Hunsicker. Parents, on the other hand, regard 16 as the end of a child's dependence on them and the beginning of gray hair from the worrying that lies ahead. “The biggest worry my parents had was that I would begin to drive. Neither of my them wanted to teach me, but eventually they stopped worrying and I got my license,” said Randy Burger. Driving is one of the greatest thrills at the age of 16. To many teens, driving is a freedom to strive toward. Teens feel, at this time, that they are mature enough to own a car. Parents may agree as long as their child can pay for the expenses of owning a ' car. Another factor that contributes to a parent’s worry is dating. For guys, dating becomes more meaningful since mom and dad no longer have to provide transportation. Since fathers seem to be more cautious of their daughters, dating may only occur at the father’s’ approval. “Before I became 16, dating or even calling a boy was forbidden by my father. Now that I'm 16, he gives me more freedom but always wants to know every detail about my date, stated Rhonda Heffelfinger. Sleph Harhart f?'-.

Have you even been so embarrassed that you wish you could just disappear? The majority of students have been in this situation at least once, if not more times than they desire to remember. “There’s nothing you can do about it because it usually happens too quickly and very unexpectedly, stated •Matt Zerphy. What is the “cool or proper way for a student to handle such an occurrence? Sometimes the chagrin of an embarrassing moment can be very devastating to a person’s self-image. Most people worry too much about what their peers think of the whole ordeal. I 'tlon’t let that bother me because everybody gets embarrassed now and then,” stated Melissa Unstead. Occasionally an embarrassing moment can be more funny than humiliating and everybody gets a good laugh. Nobody gets hurt emotionally or physically, and in fact, the student or students involved talk about and recollect about it long after the incident and continue to laugh over it. I remember when my friend threw a piece of paper at a kid and the lunch lady thought I spit on his head. I didn’t even know what was happening. It was so funny, I'll never forget it, stated Jim Storm. Certain people act differently when abashed. Some show obvious signs of embarrassment such as blushing or hiding their face. Others do not show any signs and try to hide their feelings of discomfort. When I am embarrassed I try to act as though nothing happened and that it doesn't bother me. But sometimes I can not help myself and I begin to blush, stated Susette Eisenright. Brian Wilmer Caroline Green VERY FUNNY, GUYS ! Comedians to the end.

Students live it up and have fun on the weekends. When is the best time to have a party? To the majority of students, anytime is the right time for a party. Attending parties has become one of the most popular methods of entertainment for teenagers. “I enjoy going to parties, especially when there is nothing else going on. It gives you something different to do and you can almost always have a good time, said Grady Goodwin. Parties are held for many reasons. Celebrating one's birthday is perhaps the most popular reason for a student to have a party. They are able to get together with their best friends and enjoy that one special day of the year. “I had a sixteenth birthday r party and everybody had a good time. It helped make my birthday something to remember.” stated Steph Harhart. Parties are held over holidays. Families and friends gather to celebrate this fes- tive time of the year. Usually, one can find a party on New Year’s Eve or over the Christmas vacation. Parties on New Year’s help start the new year on a good note and help you forget the bad times of the previous year,” said Tracey Smolick. Some of the best parties are held over summer. This is a good time, for you can see your peers that you do not see out of school. A lot of students have fun recollecting the good times they had in the school year and thinking of the next to follow. “I seem to see my friends at the parties over the summer, said Chad Christoff. If you are bored and you do not know what to do, just have a party. You are bound to have a good time no matter how big or small it is. “I wish I could have a party every weekend. There are never too many parties, stated Scott Thierer. Brian Witmor MAKE A WISH Given a surprise birthday party by her yearbook pals. Nicole Nicrone cuts the cake and opens her presents. The Yearbook staff held surprise parties throughout the year for each member and presented them with a gag gift and party hats. Dave Kovach PARTIES Be on time. Your license still dictates the law. You glance at your watch. It’s 12:09 as you drive into your development. Approaching a stop sign, you slow up only enough to coast through it. Then the clock strikes 12:10 as you turn into the driveway. You slowly pull the car into the garage and jump out. You walk up to the door and open it. There he is -- Dad, standing there waiting for you. He asks you nicely, ‘How was your evening?’. Fine is your reply. You know your 10 minutes late so don’t even ask to use the car tomorrow night...” then the lecture follows. Some students feel they are given curfews to make their lives miserable. But they do maintain some order and discipline which some students don’t mind at all. “Sure I have a curfew, it’s midnight. I have to be in by that time because I only have a junior license, stated Scott Persing. Licenses seem to be the THE MIDNIGHT HOUR. Realizing that it is five minutes to 12 and his curfew will be broken. Frankie Rudolph calls home to assure he'll be in soon. Since he only has a junior license. Rudolph knows his curfew is not a matter of choice, but a matter of the law.

Since people with a junior license can't drive during the time between midnight and 5 a.m., most curfews are set at midnight or before, until you turn eighteen. “Driving after midnight not only will break curfew for me and get me in trouble at home, but it could put me in trouble with the police and I don’t want that, said Jim Filipovits. What happens when an unfortunate situation arises and you know you’re going to be late ? What do you do, speed ? Do you go slow because you’re late already ? Neither will do by today's standard. When I know I’m going to break curfew, I will always call ahead and tell my mom and dad. They are still upset, but at least they aren't worrying that I got into an accident or something,” said, Mike Yadush. Jim Fromhartz Chris Heffelfinger 11 Lisa Heffelfinger 10 Lori B.

Bolivian people await the tales of her experiences. Jackie Vargas has come to America as an exchange student not for her own reasons but to help bring information back to the people of Bolivia about America. My country is poor and the people don't have the chance to travel. I plan to take all my experiences back with me to share with the , people, said Vargas. Vargas has also come to learn to speak the language. She has been taught English in order to become an exchange student, but she wants to perfect it. “I came to study English. You can only speak it well if you are around it daily, stated Vargas. , The all-girl catholic school she attended in La Paz has prepared her for the venture to America, but her school differs from the school we know as Northampton. It was very formal there. There were no lockers, you couldn't wear any makeup, and you had to wear a uniform. The course selection is also different. You were given all your subjects. You couldn't choose your own, said Vargas. Her life after high school includes college where she plans to study medicine. The college is publicly run so only books must be purchased by the student. Some lower class students acquire jobs for this expense, but the middle and upper class students have their parents pay for everything. “The upper class people don’t have to find a job. Our parents pay for everything,” said Vargas. Vargas participated in many activities during the school year including AFS, field hockey, La Tuna”, ski club, and track. In addition she was recognized by the National Honor Society as an honorary member. Rob Kmter HONORARY MEMBER As a result of much time spent in the library, Bolivian exchange student Jackie Vargas has earned herself a place in National Honor Society. Vargas also spends much of her time in Drama and enjoys playing field hockey.

Keeping fit helps everyone physically and mentally. Only three more to go...two more...last • one! O K. that was a good workout. Now hit the showers! Fitness and exercise are a part ot everyday living. Now more than ever before people are more self conscious about the way they look and feel. Exercise can vary in degrees of stressfulness from .•lifting weights to aerobics to walking. Exercise conditions your muscles and plays an important role in building and maintaining strong bones. “Exercise is like milk—it does the body good. Besides cheering I like to run on my extra time. It keeps me in shape and helps me feel good about myself, said Tamara Strike. Jogging was once a popular form of exercise, but since it has caused heart problems, walking has become a popular substitute. Walking keeps your body toned and pumps the blood, two fac- tors necessary in keeping fit. I walk to school once or twice a week, and when I do it makes me feel good. Walking in the morning gives me energy for the rest of the day, said Vicki Wagner. A common way to stay fit among high school students is weightlifting. The use of the field house along with the assistance of John Bendeko-vits, Tarik Haddad, and John Marcante, keeps the students in shape and better prepares them for their athletic activities. “I lift weights because I like the results I get. It conditions. builds, and strengthens my muscles. It also helps me with that little edge in competition.” said Scott Jandrisovits. The amount and types of exercises depend on an individual's own interests and activities, said Scott Pers-ing. Kathy Spongier Dave Kovach IRON MAN. Lifting weights for three years.

Just fixed after a recent accident, Tony Collina's red Nissan truck is the center of much pride. There are many advantages of owning your own car, such as not having to ride the bus to school and being able to go without having to ask your parents for the car. Caroline Green One of the most important factors in a teenager’s life is their first car. Growing up, they see older brothers and sisters and friends getting their own cars and driving away without having to ask for the family car. It’s that freedom of being able to go where you want that makes kids want their own cars. “It felt good to have my own car so I could go out without having to worry about there being a car at home,’’ said Steve Walck, who drives a Monte Carlo. Along with the freedom comes the feeling of responsibility and pride. “Growing up, you see other kids getting cars, then when you get your own it's like a sign that you are getting older,” said Mark Weaver, who has a Dodge Aries stationwagon. Many responsibilities go along with owning your first car such as paying for gas, insurance, and repairs.

I knew it would guzzle gas, but I was surprised when I found out how much I had to fill it,” said Ed Beil, who drives a 1979 Trans Am. Many times teenagers’ parents buy their first car for them because most of the kids don’t have the money for it. “My parents bought the car for me, but I have to pay for the gas and insurance, said Walck. Although, there are some kids who work for the money to buy their first car. I worked and saved up in order to buy a car. When I got it, I knew it was really mine, said Randy Burger. Throughout life you go through many cars, but there's something about your first one that you’ll always remember.

Tunas began in medieval times when Spain’s king asked a groups of college students to form singing groups to keep them out of trouble. The boys serenaded young women and soon found themselves earning money for college. At NHS. LaTuna wasn’t put together to keep students out of trouble or to earn money. It was simply formed to experience something new. “I discussed Tunas with my Spanish students during their studies. The students found it interesting and wanted to try it on their own, stated Spanish teacher and advisor Laura Pieroni. • NHS’s Tuna followed many traditions of the medieval Tunas, but instead of serenading young women, the members serenaded the whole school, with traditional Christmas songs sung by Tunas around the world. The songs were sung in Spanish. “LaTuna gives us more background on what the Spanish culture is like as far as music goes and how it varies,” said Mike Murray. The songs may have been sung in Spanish, but you didn't have to speak Spanish to be a member, nor did you have to have any musical ability. All that was required to be a member of LaTuna was a love for singing. That is what the group liked most about being members of LaTuna. So many activities in our school are competitive. At times even chorus is. LaTuna gives us a chance to go somewhere and just have fun, said Mike Silberman. To many of its members, LaTuna meant culture and fun, but the origin of the word isn’t exactly known. Some believe it derived from either “estudiantina”, meaning ‘‘female student”, or from tono , Latin for “tone . Micheflo Schl©ich©r Caroline ureen SPANISH ROCK. Practicing after school.

Moran became acquainted with Randy Lichtenwalner when Lichtenwalner was an exchange student in Ecuador. Knowing him made Moran’s arrival to the United States less frightening. Although Moran enjoyed living with Lichtenwalner, the � Rotary Club decided he needed a change. They believed he should move in with a new host family, in order to become accustomed to the different lifestyles of average Americans. “I like the change. Now, I get to see and compare how different people live. I'm currently living with the Ditty family,” said Moran. Moran has not only noted the differnces between the way Americans live, but he has also seen a major change scholastically. Classes here last longer and subjects are harder. I spend a lot of time doing homework,” said Moran. Although his schoolwork occupies much of his time, Moran always finds a way to play tennis. In Equador, he is fourteenth in the junior boy's tennis scene. To Moran, tennis is different here than in the South American countries. There, they play on clay courts. I enjoy playing on hard courts. I might fall down a lot, but I like the fast moving pace. It’s much more challenging, said Moran. Tennis isn't the only hobby Moran has. He plays the guitar in his band Etcetera, which he and his friends started in order to raise money for the homeless after an earthquake struck. “When I return to Ecuador, I would like to produce a record. Who knows? In a few years you might see one of my hits in the top ten,” said Moran. Michele Schramet PLAY THAT TUNE. As a leading member of the newly organized group La Tuna. Santiago Moran, an Ecuador exchange student, spends many long hours practicing the guitar and singing. Besides being envolved with this group he also finds time outside of school to read novels and play tennis.

Have you ever heard those words uttered in the halls? No one can wait, but for those poor sophomores, it seems like forever until those days arrive. Everyone has gone through the first year of high school wondering if it gets better. After being pushed aside and not taken seriously, one can get easily frustrated. Whenever I needed something and an upperclassman was also there, I got shoved away until they were done, even if my problems were more important,” said Alena Roth. Some people think it’s fun to pick on people smaller than themselves, but tor those that are picked upon, it's not fun. My gym class consisted mostly of junior and senior Vo-Tech kids who liked to make fun of the sophomores.

They just seemed to be so much better than us. They may have been older, but that doesn’t mean they’re better, said Chris Chandler. The class of 1990 has learned to take the good with the bad and to accept that being a sophomore is usually fun, but it has a few flaws. “Someday I’ll be a senior and I'll be the top guy, but until then I'll just take what I get, said Kevin Remaly.

You've just crawled out of bed. Your hair is a mess and the bags under your eyes are so black that you would think you were a raccoon. Your mom asks you to pick up some groceries for her. You quickly brush your teeth, throw on sweats, and put your hair in a clip. At the supermarket you spot a gorgeous stock boy across the aisle. What would you do --hide behind the pickles or pretend your one of the fruits? Wherever you go, there are hot-looking guys. Unfortunately, most of them are either taken or are not willing to be involved in a long-term relationship. � “When I think I have finally met Mr Right, it usually turns out that he loves himself more than the idea of a relationship. It's not the guy that knocks me off my feet, but the one that picks me up that means the most to me, said Denise Caserta. First impressions are not always the best. These impressions are what make you look at that guy with the nice body and pass over his scrawny friend. But when you meet and start talking, it is “Mr. Body' that has no brains, and it is his friend, the one you were initially ignoring, that has your attention. “The perfect guy for me would be the one that has the great personality, is easy to get along with and treats me good. Even though looks aren't everything, they do help,” stated Kelly Jandrisovits. Everyone has different ideas about what is important in the mate species. No matter what your tastes are. finding the right guy and making a relationship work takes a lot of time and commitment. As the old saying goes, “You can't live with them and you can’t live without them.” Kathy Speogiet Michelle Schleicher STUD. Flexing his muscles and hoping it will attract attention, Mike Reenock shows off for an impressed Dawn Adducie. On a scale of what girls see in guys, a great personality, good looks, and a good body all rate high.

Picture yourself In the weight room lifting and hanging out with the guys And then out of nowhere comes the girls’ tennis team. There she is the most beautiful girl you've ever seen. Instantly you think you’re in love and you say to yourself, 'This is her the girl I've been looking for, the girl of my dreams.' You fix your hair .and stick out your chest as you casually walk toward her. You're just about to say 'Hi' when she suddenly goes running toward the captain of the football team who just finished benching 300 lbs. You casually walk back to where you were, as you say, ‘Naw, she wasn't the one'. “I've often walked up to girls I liked and soon realized they were more interested in braun than brains,” said Charles Groegler. Many times you think you've found the perfect girl and it turns out she’s either taken or too much of a princess to go out with a peon like you. “Once I see someone I like, I'll use my charm to go after her before some other blockhead beats me to it,” said Frank Rudolph. Girls can make a lot of different impressions on guys. Some guys look for an intelligent girl with a great personality. Others want a pretty girl with a nice set of assets. And some guys just want it all. I look for a girl with a pretty face, nice personality, great body, and a very big heart, said Kevin Smith. Some have a philosophy all their own. “Looks are a secondary issue. Personality is the main issue. But at parties the issues don't count,” stated Randy Burger. Let's face it guys, girls are more than pretty faces and hot bodies. They give us companionship, happiness, and, of course, love. Andy Franklin Carotax� Green LOOK OF LOVE.

Kelly Mercnen EXCHANGING INFORMATION. Receiving help from Alena Roth with some English homework, Swedish exchange student Samantha Svensson shares a laugh with her American friend. Like Svensson, Roth will become an exchange student with the AFS program in the summer of 1988. Many people dream of traveling and living in another country and for Swedish exchange student Samantha Svensson it was a dream come true. “Ever since I learned English, I decided I would like to visit America,” stated Svensson. As in any country one visits, there are bound to be changes one must adjust to. These changes were no exception for Svensson who found the biggest change to be in the school. In Sweden we must attend school for nine years and then three more to prepare for college,” stated Svensson. Even though there were many challenges Svensson faced, there were many things she liked about our school. I liked that you are able to choose the studies you want, instead of having someone choose them for you,” stated Svensson. The one thing that surprised Svensson the most was the students involvment in school activities. “It’s good that students support their school and join in the activities,” stated Svensson. , For many the 1987-88 school year seemed like any other school year, but for Sam Svensson it was a year I of new changes, new friends, | and the best learning experience anyone could imagine. “I have learned a lot from the people here. We have many differences but are really the same. I am glad to. return home and will remember my year in Northampton. Someday I hope lo return, stated Svensson.

You’ve made it through half of the school day. You have to take a test soon. You're really not prepared. What should you do? Some people would stick it out and finish the day; others would skip school or “knock off as it's called. What teachers wonder most is why students cut •classes. Compiled is a list of the top 10 reasons for skipping school given by students. 1 Some of their friends are knocking off, too. 2. You didn't do the homework for that class so you just don't go or you use being sick as an excuse and go to the nurse. •3. You don’t like the class. 4. You don't like the teacher. 5. You may need a cigarette because you’re hooked on smoking and you have nicotine fits. 6. It’s a study hall, anyway. 7. You didn’t study for a test. 8. You’re flunking anyway, so why bother? 9. You forgot your book and notes, or they’re stuffed in the bottom of your locker somewhere and you don’t want to get them. 10.It’s too nice outside. “Some days I just don’t feel like going to school so I either stay home or call some friends and we knock together,” said Ralph Klaugh. With the addition of new policies, the truancies were down. There are still some students who abuse the rules and are truant a lot, but on the whole they are decreasing,” stated Dr. Patricia Riz-zotto-Moore. If a student does not attend school at all and does not have a legal excuse they are truant and will receive a Saturday detention. Rob Peilicotta CUTTINU OUT.

They are the largest class in number to « ever walk the halls of NHS. These students can be held responsible tor some of the overcrowding, but can also take an equal amount of credit for the renovations. These problems and their solutions were generated by this year’s junior class. The total number of students in the class of 1989 is •544. The figure might not seem overwhelming to someone looking at the number itself but consider that the total enrollment of our school is 1441. Therefore, the junior class makes up 38% of the school population, compared to the seniors and sophomores, making up the other 62% combined. “It’s great being in a class the size of ours. We get alternatives other classes don’t because of our size,” stated Kathy Schweitzer. One of these alternatives made possible by the junior class was renovations. If the class had been smaller, the old building might have been sufficient. However, the school district had to accommodate the larger number ot students and provided the renovations. “In our last year of junior high we got this speech about how much better the high school was going to be after renovations. The speech gave us the idea that we were the reason the renovations had to be done, said Tracey Holland. The junior class has made other contributions as well. They have provided us with gifted athletes and future leaders. The students in the class of 1989 have proven themselves as all-around achievers. Not only have we proven ourselves as standout athletes in various sports, but there are many juniors who excel in academics and other activities. stated Erin Deitz.

Although it’s impossible to please everyone, when a change makes all of the student body upset, there better be a good explanation for it. ‘‘I don’t like people being able to randomly go through my personal belongings.” said Robert Igoe. Along with being repaired, the lockers were given a fresh coat of paint. The walls were also decorated with stripes of burnt orange and blue. “Seeing the pictures up around the school and the colors painted in the hallway is a lot better than staring at plain white walls all modern. day.” said Christopher Giovenco. I The halls and lobby are also! more attractive as a result of artri-cles and advertisements in large glass cases. Although the hallways are warm thanks to color, unfortu- nately. we cannot say the same about the classrooms. Many stu- dents and teachers complained about the heating cooling system. 1 “With it being so cold in the f building, instead of paying attention, people are worried more about keeping warm.’’ said Sheila Ritter.

No. there not cruising the mall, watching a movie at the local theater, or hanging out at Mario’s. Just like Antionette Stumpf and Lani Uhl. you are probably glued to a couch in front of the television watching the newest half hour comedy show. ALF. “ALF is fun to watch because he has a great sense of humor, and the way he is so irresponsible makes me laugh.” stated Shawn Rogan. Of course, if you don’t go for the cute, furry type, you could watch something with an upbeat style like “Night Court”. “I enjoy “Night Court” because Dan’s almost as arrogant as I am,” stated Ron Ondrejca. Some students feel that the educational programs such as “Jeopardy” and ‘‘Scholastic Scrimmage” are the way to go. “I like educational programs because I have to learn something, and Northampton didn’t help much, stated grinning Kirk Marked.

I’m glad that I got to help our team achieve the first victory over Catty in a long time.” stated Humphrey. A major factor in the girls’ 18-6 victory over Ca-tasauqua was the ever-present rivalry between the schools. ‘‘When we walked out on the field, you could feel the tension between us.” said Chanin Jacoby. ‘‘It was a very intense game. All their players were wrapped up in the rivalry. I think that’s what helped them to win the game.” said Catty Rough Rider Chris Synder.

Imagine everyone having to wear the same style class ring. This was the case for students years ago. As time progressed, various im provements were made because of competition between different dealers. As a result, individuals can now choose from many different styles, stones, fascets, emblems. and sizes. “I’m glad we can pick any kind of ring we want. I would die if I had to wear the ones like my parents had, stated Erika Grabner. Although styles of class rings have changed the tradition of wearing your boyfriend’s ring has remained the same. “Wearing my boyfriend’s ring shows that we are going out and keeps all other interested guys away, ” stated Deb Ortwein. “In years to come my class ring will help me remember the great times my friends and I shared.” said Keri Woodring.

C o guys, where are we gonna eat tonight?” This question plagues teenagers every weekend. The answer depends on the individual. Many factors determine their choice. The food tends to be the most important reason. Here in the Lehigh Valley your appetite can easily be satisfied by the large variety of fast food, ranging from “flame broiled” burgers to “Kentucky fried” chicken. “I know whatever I'm hungry for I can find,” said Andrea Peck. These quick stop pit-stops also serve their food quickly, hence the term “fast food”. The man who does not have the time for a sit down meal has a chance to grab a quick sandwich. “When I'm late for work and haven’t had anything to eat, the drive-thru really comes in handy,” said Erika Madea. The companionship also contributes to the decision. The fast food places turn into the town hangout on the weekends. ”1 like to go to a place where I can sit down with all my friends,” said Carmen Giovenco. The fast food restaurants offer a wide variety of interests for all people. The choice of where to go is still up to the individual. Rob Kmter Out of 290 polled the survey says our favorite fast foods are: OVER 3 BILLION SERVED. Waiting in line at the most popular fast food restuar-ant. Jeff Eutsler and Pat Doyle order up with three Big Mac’s, two large fries, and two large soft drinks. McDonald’s was ranked number one by the senior class as their most favorite fast food restuarant.

National Honor Society Wild once again Students bring back the spirit to give the Kids an extra boost to win. he bunch is back! In years past the Wild Bunch has faded in and out. This year it was restarted by Greg Ser-ensits, Matt Reinhard. and Pat Rissmiller. The Wild Bunch supports the Northampton basketball team at their games. They do anything from screaming “Go orange go” to banging on the bleachers to distract the opposing team from making a foul shot, often getting yelled at by the referees. “The Wild Bunch represents the pride we have for our school, said Serensits. The club began when Serensits had students sign up to purchase Wild Bunch t-shirts. “We knew the return of the Wild Bunch would be a success when 90 kids signed up. We didn’t expect that much support, said Reinhard. Along with the yelling and screaming, the Wild Bunch shows even more spirit by dressing up for each game. They either wear the opposing teams colors or an array of strange clothing. “Dressing up is a tradition and it helps to psych the team up,” said Rissmiller. “I always feel like a different person. The wild side of me comes out at the games,” said Michelle Schramel. Ncote Nicrone THE CROWD GOES WILD Cheering Jim Fromhartz on to scoring his 1000th point, members of the Wild Bunch join in the celebration of this memorable event. In addition to spurring the Kids on to numerous victories, the Bunch also makes its presence felt at Northampton basketball games by aggravating the opponents and annoying the referees. Caroline Green WILD BUNCH A new era in music Heavy metal groups win at the Grammys and have control over charts. W hen Bon Jovi won the most popular rock group at the Grammy’s, a new age in popular music emerged. No longer would heavy metal bands be treated as if they weren’t musicians.

Mike Saylor relaxes at home after a long day at school whil listening to his favorite rock group Foreigner. Ranked by the senior class. Whitesnake went to number one on the poll chart with several hits such as Still of the Night” and “Here we go again . The heavy metal bands have an image all their own. This image is what attracts and captures their fans. “I like Kiss because every band today owes something to them in terms of music or image,” stated Terry Anthony. Their style of music is unlike anything else in the music industry. It is this style of music that people listen to to mentally prepare themselves before sports events or just to remember the past. ‘‘Van Halen’s music reminds me of the great times I had with Mike Nemeth on the varsity swim team,” said Dennis Heffelfinger. Pop music is not dead. Pop groups are still popular with singers and groups such as Whitney Houston, U2. George Michael, and Madonna. “I love Whitney Houston’s style of music,” stat ed Nadine Heefner.

A s soon as I walked in the door after school I laid down on the sofa and slept until dinner time. Then I went shopping and to a friend’s house. When I finally got home, I was too tired to do my homework so I went to bed. Because of the way I’ve been acting lately, my mom made a appointment for me. At ter a check up, the doctor explained to me that I have a common disease contracted by seniors — “senioritis”. “I acquired the disease the first day of school, and I won’t be cured until the last,” said Kristin Steier. The most obvious symptoms of this disease include sleeping more than usual, partying, skipping classes, or staying home from school to catch up on your “soaps”. ‘Although I haven’t felt any of the symptoms yet, I’m sure as soon as the first day of spring arrives I’ll feel the full affect.” said Keri Woodring. The full affects of the disease hit the hardest in the spring since the weather is getting warmer and there are many outside activities you would rather be doing. Since this disease is unavoidable among seniors, everyone must take the illness day by day and if it overcomes you. just go with it. The doctor’s advice to every senior is “take two aspirin and call me after graduation.” Katny Spengier BREAKING AWAY. Striken by the dreaded disease senioritis”. Sarah Stromweli and Sherry Reccek are more than ready to ditch this school, and make a break for the outside world. As spring draws near, more and more seniors find themselves with symptoms such as skipping school, cutting class, and making excuses for not doing homework or studying The only known cure is graduating in June Kelly Merchen SENIORITIS Sand and sun equals fun. Vacationing gives one a chance to get away from the everyday blahs of life. Q chool’s out. The summer’s begun. It’s time to party and have lots of fun. There are many different places to go on vacation, but some of the hottest spots are Florida, Wildwood, and Ocean City. These are the best places to bake on the beach, swim in the ocean, or take a walk along the beach with the person of your dreams. “Ocean City, Maryland, is one of the most happenin’ places around. The sun, beach, and guys definitely rule,” said Meredith McClellan “Wildwood is the best. The beach and women are terrific.” said Shawn Rogan. For a change from the East Coast beaches, some people visit the exotic and secluded islands of Hawaii, Cancun. and Alcapulco. With their clear blue water, and colorful corral reefs, the beaches there resemble scenes right out of National Geographic. “Acapulco is one of the best vacation spots around. You feel like you’re in Hollywood because everyone waits on you and there are plenty of palm trees,” said Kim Cruz. For many the closest they come to a vacation is a long weekend away from the everyday routine of life. Michelle Schramei Out of 285 polled the survey says our favorite vacation spots are: SAVAGE TAN. Relaxing on the deck of their hotel. Kim Cruz soaks up the sun with a guy she met. Also on the trip to Alcapulco. Mexico were friends Staci Dimler and Kim Erceg. Not only did the girls go to countless parties and spend numerous hours on the beach, but they also met tons of gorgeous guys and created memories that will last a life time.

To many students the only time to feel relaxed and talk to your friends is during the lunch periods. Besides using these 35 minutes to eat. George Angello and Tim O'Donnell try to catch up on the morning events and activities. During this time, cafeteria aids try to keep wild behavior to a minimum. he crazy things we pulled in high school will always be remembered-spit-balls in studyhall, being late for class, and driving the substitutes crazy. They are what made the days go by faster. The following responses from seniors give a brief description of some their best times at NHS. “Singing, 'I’d like to buy the world a home’,” said Karen Reimer. Christening the Catholic school grounds as I was fixing a flat tire with my friend Bud Weiser,” stated Deb Seltzer. Getting thrown over desks by Mr. Gilly, said Tim Brearman. “Four-wheeling in the Atlas mud with all my friends from school, stated Mike Caller. ‘‘German class and the ‘Row of Death’ and the trip to Allentown,” said Heath Moser. When my friends pushed someone down the stairway in a rolling garbage can on the last day of school,” stated Ken Jones. Causing trouble and having fun are a big part of everyone's senior year. Going out to lunch and baseball,” stated Carl, Cavallo “Laughing hysterically in the halls with my best friend Becky and all the great stated Nadine Heefner. A.A.A.-because my car broke down a lot with my best friend with me, stated Bill Seko. “Play practices and , opening nights. Mr. P’s data class,” stated Angelic Spess.

You’ve counted the months, weeks, and days until the big moment-graduation. Seniors first faced graduation preparations when they had their senior pictures taken. “I spent hours getting ready for my senior picture. I wanted them to turn out great, stated Colleen Urban. In early November seniors were measured for caps and gowns. While the measurements took only a few minutes, many seniors purchased their long await ed 1988 orange and black tassle. “I couldn’t wait to get my tassle because I wanted to put it in my car where everyone could see it. said Shanon Dye. An assembly was field by Student Services for seniors to order graduation announcements. “The announcements were a good way to let my family and friends know I’ve made it,” stated Jane Stubits. A senior group portrait was taken in January by Aardvark Studio. The entire senior class met in the gym to have both a formal arid funny picture taken. “The senior portrait is nice to have because you can remember everyone you’ve gone to school with,’’ said Lisa Kern. MAKING A MEMORY. After being measured for the cap and gown he will wear on graduation day. Stephen Hil-denbrandt purchases an orange and black tassel which commemorates the year in which he will graduate. The tassels, which were sold for $2.50 each, were an inexpensive way for seniors to pay tribute to June of 1988. r -u- J Ke«y Merchen CAP GOWN 19 Nowhere to go Where to go on a date doesn’t have to be a problem anymore. t’s Friday and you’ve got a date with the best catch in the school. The pimple on your chin that stuck out like a mountain has disappeared and your parents are letting you borrow the car. Everything seems to be going fine until your date gets in the car. and you realize that you have no plans for the evening. What are you going to do? Kelty Merchen NOW SHOWING. Long time friends Handy Lichtenwalner and Amy Minmch spend a night out on the town by catching the latest “attraction” at the local movie theater. Seniors voted this popular pastime their favorite thing to do on a date. The movies provide a comfortable environment in which a person can take a break from the real world. Some teens think picking a place to go on a date is a simple task but actually it requires a certain amount of thought. First you have to determine what kind of disposition out date has and from there you can decide where to go. “I usually ask the girl where she wants to go since that’s who I’m trying to please.” Greg Serensits. Pleasing a date is not always easy; many times it depends on where they feel most comfortable. A person who is outgoing enjoys excitement and would prefer a party or a dance. A shy. reserved person would prefer dinner and a movie. “I feel more comfortable taking a date I don’t really know to the movies because there aren’t a lot of people around, and I can get to know my date better.” stated Doug Oberly.

Kelly Mefchen EXPLORING THE ISSUES. Director of the pregnancy program at NHS. Marcy Vogel teaches her students about problems they may encounter during their pregnancies, and choices they have regarding their babies One of the most prominent and controversial topics discussed in the class is abortion. Think for a minute of what visual image first comes to your mind when you hear the word abortion. Do you picture an unborn baby or do you see an image of a pregnant women? Everyone has a concern for human life, and either way you answer the question, the topic always leads to a life. The problem is which life—the potential life of the fetus or the actual life of a woman facing the problem of and unwanted pregnancy? “As soon as I heard that I was going to be a mother. I knew I wanted to keep the baby no matter what the consequences.” stated Jen Dobler. Pregnancy deserves a Kefly Merchen decision based on the concern for life, not only the mothers but also the quality of life the future child would lead. “My heart goes out to any girl who is faced with motherhood at such a young age.” said nurse Hil-degard Bradney. No one celebrates the event of an unwanted preg nancy. Teenagers feel forced into having abortions due to their unwillingness to bring a life into the world which they cannot care for. Nearly 440,000 teens terminate pregnancies through abortions each year. “Every women has the right to make her own decisions regarding pregnancy. I view it as a problem, though, when an abortion is used as a way out.” stated Rosemary Engler.

Rich or poor, black or white, many enter the same world of fear, anger, and low self-esteem. Being told in a few short word, that you are indeed pregnant can alter a life. “I wasn't really scared or angry, just confused on how it would effect my life,” said Lauri Whitemaine-Drey. Pregnancy is a time that brings about emotional problems. Feelings change constantly, education is interrupted. friends may become isolated, and financial problems arise. PROS AND CONS. Knowing they may have tough times ahead of “Every person and Situa-them, Lourie Whitemoine Drey and Jenifer Debtor discuss the effects „ |s di(ferent ,fs an un_ pregnancy has had on their lives. Both girls have decided to keep their , , , babies, but this is not the decision all teens make. Other alternatives predictable nine month ad-include abortion or adoption. Kelly Merchen venture that brings about changes in the body and life in general, said Rosemary Engler. A problem is that information on pregnancy comes from friends who are just as confused as you are. It’s important to talk to someone who can help you make the right decisions. High school students experience difficulties in handling the responsibility of raising a child and isn’t ready for a committed relationship, said Hildegard Bradney. Pregnant students may confront rejection or humiliating comments if they continue school. Some students who make the commitment to attend school drop out because taking classes and being pregnant is too much.

Amy Gubich. a member of the Task Force, writes down information concerning their next speaking program. Over half the teenagers treated for alcohol or drug abuse started their habit by the age of 12 or 13. Sixty percent of these teens reported that someone else at home also abuses drugs or alcohol. Ninety-two percent of all seniors have had experiences with alcohol. Statistics like these show how the abuse of drugs have been on the rise. Every type of student uses alcohol because of its easy availibility. said Ann Gillette. Everyone has to make their own decision whether or not to use drugs. Although consequences and risks are high enough to make most think twice, many still choose to abuse drugs. I don't like to see teens destroy their lives by abusing drugs,” said Dan Howard. The Drug and Alcohol Task Force helps students understand how dangerous drugs are and the effect they have on the body. Students are told about the serious problems that can result from abusing drugs, said Howard. Teenagers are at high risks because of curiosity, their love for risks, tendency to rebel, and most of all to be accepted by their peers. “The need to assert their independence seems to be a reason for the drug use problem,” stated health teacher Joan Kremus. Teenagers who continue to abuse drugs run a higher risk for suicide.

Reading about the scandel that unfolded around T.V. evangelists Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker. Drew Powell finds the pictures better than the actual story. Although not even close to the best-seller list, the amusing tale of the ex-PTL members kept readers entertained throughout the summer and fall. The summer of 1987 produced a intriguing and hilarious, story of money, controversy, and the crumbling of an empire. This, of course, is the story of Jim and Tammy Bakker. For more than twenty years Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker held a firm grasp on the television evangelist industry. It all came crumbling down when allegations of a relationship with Jessica Hahn forced him to give up his ministry. More allegations followed. Bakker denied accusations that he was a homosexual and that he and Tammy Faye took part in wife swapping. While watching the news, hardly a night would go by without seeing a weeping Tammy Faye describing what they had lost. They lost their house in Palm springs and everything with ■ it. Everyone felt sorry for them. “She cries too much, but I can understand it, they lost everything,” said Don Kocher. Don't feel sorry for the Bakker's, because the “Jim and Tammy Show was a goldmine. From their shov they received a $1.1 million 1 annual salary, four homes, a Mercedes Benz, a Rolls Royce and a luxurious wardrobe for Tammy. Many of Bakker’s old competitors figured he would come back and he did. It got off to a rocky start and continued that way. 4 Matt Reinhard Congratulations And Best Wishes -Jug Milk -Ice Cream -Fresh Meats -Groceries -Baked Goods -Fast Foot Grill Seemsville-Kreidersville Rd.

Supporting his team after the victory over the Denver Broncos, Matt Marino shows off his t-shirt to Kevin Smith. The Redskins won with a 42-10 lead over the Broncos, Washington broke many records throughout the course of the game, one of which was broken when they scored four touchdowns in the second quarter. A game of such epic proportions as the Super Bowl rarely lives up to the mounds of hype placed on it. Super Bowl XXII was no different...for a while at least. The second annual game pitted the AFC Champion Denver Broncos against the NFC Washington Redskins. The Broncos were four point favorites going into the game. Boom! The game started out like a string of firecrackers on the Fourth of July. Broncos quarterback John Elway threw a 56-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Ricky Nattiel 1:57 into the contest. This was the quickest touchdown ever in Super Bowl history. The way the first quarter went I thought Denver was going to win, I was rooting for them,” said Steve Miletics. The first quarter ended with the score 10-0 in Denver's favor. What followed in the second quarter was something that was beyond comprehension and by the time it was over, the game itself was over. It started with an 80-yard touchdown strike from Doug Williams to Ricky Sanders. The next score came when Redskins receiver Gary Clark was open for a 27-yard score. Timmy Smith followed up this score with a 58-yard touchdown run. Two more touchdown passes by Williams made the score 35-10 at halftime. The Redskins went on to win 42-10.

The Dow Jones industrial average had plunged 508 points or an incredible 22.6 percent and an astonishing $385 billion on paper was lost. Half the nation became paralyzed with curiosity and concern after hearing the news of the crash, stated Robert Sawarynski. Many Americans felt their life's work and savings endangered. Though only one in five households invest directly in the stock market, the crash effected everyone. People who never bought stocks before were trying to figure out what the cruise down Wall Street meant to them and their security. My parents weren’t directly concerned with the crash, but they worried about later effects on prices,” said Kelly Crowell. Businesses worried that consumers might stop spending as freely. Workers feared that a market collapse could cause a recession. Those close to retirement were concerned with the effect on pension funds and on investments that they would soon have to rely on for income. “I don’t think the stock market crash had a great impact on students, but I know many worried about a rise in college tuitions, said Jodi Sikorsky.

Reed locates the location and provides information on the hearings. For the past 40 years, American warships have been defending the Persian Gulf, symbolizing and maintaining the nation's role as a global power. In the last year, the U.S. involvement in the Persian Gulf has become more pronounced. The U.S. has agreed to provide convoy protection to eleven Kuwaiti oil tankers in the Gulf. In the process, the U.S. is finding itself involved in a seven year struggle between Iran and Iraq. Unfortunately, instead of discouraging further Iranian attacks, the U.S. might have become involved in a nightmare. “I think when we first sent troops into the Gulf, there was a major threat imposed by the Iranians. Now everyone has accepted our presence and for now there is no threat of violence, said teacher Victor Wills. Although the US involvement in the Gulf seems to be successful, it was at the cost of some soldier’s lives. Of the 15,000 sailors stationed in the Gulf, 37 lost their lives when the USS Stark was accidentally attacked by Iraqi missiles. With the tragedy of lost lives, one question still remains. Is it necessary for US troops to be stationed in the Persian Gulf?

Reagan's first choice, was rejected due to his overly conservative opinions. ith President Reagan’s third turn at bat. he has finally hit a home run on nominating Anthony Kennedy for the 104th Supreme Court Justice. His first two failures were in electing Robert Bork and Douglas Ginsburg. Kennedy was the only nominee to not have a scandal connected with his name. Kennedy with his Norman Rockwell background, has spent 12 years on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in Sacremento, California. His opinions and decisions are respected throughout the judicial system Bork is an extreme conservative. Bork argues that he is a fair, open-minded ju- rist who represents 30 years of social activism in court. His adversaries contend that he is a right-wing radical whose opinions threaten basic principles of social justice and individual liberties. “Both Bork and Reagan are ultra-conservative and Reagan nominated Bork to continue to have conservative ideas throughout the system.” said social studies teacher Jim Pail. Ginsburg is a liberal. He unexpectedly withdrew his nomination after background research revealed using marijuana in the sixties. I guess you never realize how things you do when you are young effect you when you are older,” said Phil Kresge. Susan Stott ADS TAILORED CLOTHING GROUP OF FABERGE, INC.

Matt Zerphy and Steve Roosa tho opportunity to put it into action as he presented his ' Congressman in the Schools” program to government classes. Government students took a stroll down memory lane with Congressman Don Ritter as he made 200 years of history come alive in one class period. With his Congressman in the Schools campaign, Ritter strived to have students understand and appreciate the US constitution, a document that united our country and molded it into the great nation it is today. The Constitution is so crucial to the lives of all Americans, and it is not nearly as understood as it should be, said Ritter. To further explain our government and how it works, Ritter initiated a debate, much like that held in the House of Representa- tives. The topic was chosen by the students and concerned United States in-volvment in the Persian Gulf. Students presented their views and opinions to support both the pros and cons of having American troops in the Middle East. More students favored than opposed the involvment of US troops in the Persian Gulf. The debate was interesting and Congressman Ritter enlightened us on a subject that I knew only a little bit about. By stating the foreign policy and the US responsibility in maintaining world peace, I was able to better understand our reasoning for being in the Gulf, said Marianne Peckham.

Leon Gable tries to light up a cigarette before being seen by liason, Terik Haddad. Even though smoking is not permitted at Northampton. you can find traces In any bathroom you walk into. There are many serious side effects related to habitual nicotine use. Each year cigarette smoking causes the deaths of more than 300,000 Americans, principally from heart disease, cancer, and chronic obstructive lung disease In order to help lower this number, the school has banned smoking within the school building. Banning smoking was the greatest thing to do. At least now I don’t have to worry about walking out of the bathroom smelling like an ashtray, stated Heather Kratzer. Some people tend to differ with the non-smoking policy, feeling that they should be able to smoke if they want. I really didn’t think it was fair to ban smoking. I’m the one that’s smoking, I'm the one who will get sick, so what does it matter to anyone else,” stated Tim Hunsberger. As a result of the smok-ing policy, many teachers and students have turned away from trying to smoke in school, and some are determined to quit smoking for good. I've been trying to quit smoking for awhile. With the new policy in effect, I decided just to stop for good, stated Andrea Peck. I’m really glad that the smoking policy has been changed. I hope now that people realize how hazardous smoking can be, not only to themselves, but also to others around them, stated Amy Kravetz.

Concerned about the recent AIDS epidemic. Kurt DeBellis and Nina Shoenthal read a pamphlet containing information about related sexually transmitted diseases. Because of the fear of AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). Northampton High School has put together an AIDS policy to protect the victim and the students within the school. This new policy is never exactly the same because it changes according to the needs of the victim. It also gives some insight on the disease. and informs others not to fear the victim. “The AIDS policy helps the victim accept his disease and also helps friends and family as well. The biggest fear of most people, is that they feel that by just be- ing next to the AIDS carrier, they can get the disease. This is a fallacy. One should just act natural, as hard as that may be, stated Hildegard Bradney. Most young people with AIDS are permitted to attend school, but due to the ignorance of society, they are shunned by their peers. Because of the fact that AIDS can not becontracted by casual contact, there is no reason why he she should not be treated like any other person. Even if a student did have the AIDS virus, I don’t feel that they should be denied the right to have a ‘normal’ education, stated Mike McGillis.

IEPUBLICAN PKiMAKY David Kovach HISTORY IN THE MAKING Republican presidential candidates Pete Dupont and Pat Robertson make a showing in the New Hampshire primaries. The primaries, which weie designed to determine the frontrunners. are held each year in every state The primaries help voters make choices regarding the candidates On November 4, 1988, a new President of the United States will be voted in This will be decided by the voters of America 18 years of age and over. Being able to vote for a president of a club or for the President of the U.S. is a major choice. The person chosen will be in charge of all the activities and must be a strong leader. “I respect anyone who would run for president or an office. This year I’ll be 18 so I'll be able to vote for who I want to run the country,” stated Bill Horn. The U.S. government is run democratically just like our class offices and student council. When running for office, a campaign must be set up to help get people on the nominees side. “Running for a class office reminds me of the pres- ■ idential campaign. Always trying to have people on your side, thinking of a catchy slogan and most important is making sure you stand for the same thing that your supporters want you to,” stated senior class president, Mike Jenkins. For some the presidential election doesn't mean a thing. All it is is just another year where people get all riled up over who is the best candidate and who will be the best leader.

Knowing one of their articles may cause a stir among the student body, the Courier editors meet with principal Frank Kovacs to discuss whether the story can be run. Due to the new Supreme Court ruling, principals have the right to censor controversial issues from school publications. In the Bill of Rights, the first Amendment gives the freedom of speech and the freedom of press, but recently that was somewhat changed. The Supreme Court ruled that the principal of a school has the right to censor articles published by the school's newspaper if he feels that the articles may be inappropriate for the students to read. I have never had a real problem with any articles published in our school paper. I feel the staff has picked very strong stories and I'm sure I won't have to worry about controversial one, stated principal Frank Kovacs. As a result of this ruling, the Concrete Courier decided not to print an article dealing with a drug bust, for fear it would cause problems with those involved. ‘‘The article would have been a great news article to inform the student body. And now with the new ruling, I’m sure Courier could have gotten in a lot of trouble, stated editor Mike Ruth. Now that the principal is allowed to censor all articles published, the staff members must be more careful in desifering what should and what should not be printed. The staff has to work together to decide what we can print to make sure it won't offend anyone, said Robbin Hunsberger.

The Iran-Contra hearings were perhaps the sorriest event in America since Watergate. The country was in turmoil, and the president did not know what was going on. Through all the muck the hearings made one man emerge, Lietenant Colonel Oliver Norh.

Allentown, PA 18103 (215) 264-4585 Josephine Herb A Tragedy on ice KeBy Mefchen SIGN OF SORROW Dan Jensen was considered a lop contender in speed skating at the Olympics. On the day ot Jansen's 500-meter race, tragedy struck when, after hearing of his sister Jane's death he fell. Only the best athletes make it to the Olympics. Speed skater Dan Jansen was there to do and become the best. At the 1988 Winter Olympics, Jansen became a top American contender. He had finished fourth at Sarajevo and came in second at the 1986 World Sprint Championships. This was his year. Not only did he want to win for himself, but for his favorite sister Jane who was diagnosed with leukemia. On the morning of February 14. Jansen received a phone call with news that Jane had died. Jansen stayed to skate that night for her. At the starting line, Jansen made a false start. Then the unexpected happened. Jansen slid and landed in the mats. He stood up, his hands over his head, in disbelief. Thursday night was Jansen's last chance for a medal. In the 1000-meter race he passed 600 meters in 44.02 seconds, the fastest of the first eight skaters. Then, passing the 800-meter mark, approaching the final turn, Jansen hit his blade and fell again Teammate Eric Flaim dedicated his medal to Dan and Jane. His story has touched the hearts of many Americans. For Dan Jansen it was not meant to be.

Center St., Nazareth, PA 58 YEARS OF CONTINUED FAMILY SERVICE Going for the gold OLYMPIC HOPEFUL Dreaming about what it would be like to participate in the Olympics, Frances Bealer checks out the items associated with the games. There was no huge medal count for the United States. There was no “Miracle on Ice”, but the 1988 Winter Olympics provided America with some outstanding individual achievements. Going into the games, the Americans were relying heavily on figure skaters Brian Boitano and Debi Thomas. Both have been world champions but never Olympic champions. Boitano won the gold medal by outdueling Canada’s Brian Orser. Thomas, who led going into the last night of competition, faltered and finished third behind East Germany's Katerina Witt and Canada's Elizabeth Manley. As in 1984, the United States hockey team again failed to win a medal. The team lacked defense and discipline and lost three games to the Soviet Union, West Germany and Czechoslovakia while winning only two. They were exciting games the way they play; attacking all the time, made the games interesting, stated Steve Bodnar. Speed skater, Bonnie Blair captured two out of the six medals won by the U.S. One being a gold and the other a bronze. Eric Flaim won a silver medal in the men’s 1500 meter speed skating race. “The Olympics are the only true competition left in sports, stated Steve Bauer. Some terrific performances were turned in by foreign athletes. Pur-min Zurbriggen won a gold and a bronze in Alpine Skiing. Yvonne van Gennip won three gold medals in Women's Speed Skating.
