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.

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.
