Northeast High School - Nordlys Yearbook (Oklahoma City, OK)

Text from Pages 1 - 192 of the 1981 volume:

2 3 School Begins On Unusual Note The beginning of this school year was definitely “One In A Million”. Because of the unusually hot weather, school hours were modified and the dress code was relaxed. In every classroom there was at least one fan going full blast. Teachers had a difficult time making learning fun and students found it almost impossible to sit still and pay attention. But regardless of the weather, school got off to a great start. 4 School Spirit And Pride School spirit means more than supporting a winning team. Northeast students show their spirit whether we win or lose. School spirit and pride is shown not only by the students, but also by teachers. Our Viking family is truly “One in A Million . 5 ABOVE: O. U. quarterback J. C. Watts gives a talk during our “De-hair the Bears assembly. BELOW: The crowd listens attentively to Watts. J.C. WATTS VISITS VIKINGS ABOVE: J. C. takes time to pose for pictures. BELOW: Watts is given a rousing Viking welcome. 6 Vikings Do Their Thing Playing basketball in boy’s P.E. is always a fun thing to do. Ernest and Joe debate campaign issues for Election '80. Doing your own thing is the name of the game. Vi- kings do their thing in varied and sometimes unusual ways. Northeast is a school which allows for individuality. Whether you do your thing in the classroom, in the athletic arena or in clubs and organizations, one never needs to feel left out-there is something for everyone. Some students even show their talent during lunch as they fashion the latest style clothing or do the latest dances in the cafeteria. Student ability in the classroom ranges from the straight A student to the class clown. Any way it goes-it’s all about doing your own thing. Band members do their thing at halftime of football game. Mike Burgan and friends do what most students love to do — EAT!! 7 9 Vikings Ms. Adkinson’s fifth hour poses for a picture during a bomb threat. Lynn and Tracey are all smiles after lunch!!

BOTTOM RIGHT: Mr. Ledbetter explains an assignment to Brenda Cud joe. Getting involved is the name of the game. Students at North- east have a variety of things to select from when they want to become a part of a group. Ev- eryone works together to make Northeast more than just a school. 14 Alan Karr gets involved in his speech class. Coach Ambrister works on an injured player. Mrs. Brooks works hard clearing the halls and keeping students in class. Coach Jones does exercise with his students.

The varsity cheerleaders keep the spirit alive. The Viking majorettes do a halftime show. Mr. Fisher is a loyal Viking supporter. Mr. Willis and Mrs. Shropshir work in the band booster's concession stand. 21 Student Council Stephanie Patterson auctions Amy Asch to the highest bidder. The auction attracted lots of attention, but some students preferred to eat. Fund Raiser One of the best fund raising activities sponsored by the Stu- dent Council was the “human auction”. Persons from around the building volun- teered to be sold to the highest bidder. This was undoubt- edly one of the most lucrative and fun ac- tivities held. Seeing Coach Pat- ton. Randy Mack, and Ronald Wilburn dressed as “ladies was quite a treat. And Julie Balkenbush was real cute in her “bun- ny outfit”. This event provided a much needed break from the day to day dullness of the lunch periods—it was a “One In A Million” day. Everyone is watching the auction block. Sheila Buckner was bought by Coach Patton. 22 Fun In The Cafeteria Shirley Fisher and Sheila Buckner stop long enough to take a picture. Ray Frazier and Johnny McCloud go through the lunch line. 23 Vikings Are Mrs. Buckner holds Trey Patton during a basketball game. Julie Grant and Phillip Erdoes have fun decoration for homecoming. Ron and Demetrius have fun with a little Viking . Coach Steele gives a talk during the pep assembly. John Leaf gets his books for class. 24 Our Favorite People The cheerleaders are doing their thing.

Watching the game from the bench can provide many anxious moments. 25 Together Vikings Monique takes time to smile as she and Darryl work on hall decorations. The drummers, better known as The Sonic Boom Express, use their spare time to practice for a new show. 26 Liz Darrell poses during a field show at a football game. Two of coach Patton’s boys are caught in the cafeteria. “It’s a bird! It's a plane ! No! It’s the Brown Hornet ! Here Christie shows complete embarassment on Human Auction Day. The expression of a face can tell a story that a million words cannot. A face shows joy, sorrow, embar- assment, thought and many other emotions. Any person can walk down the halls of our school at any time and find all of these faces; faces attached to people wishing to be ap- preciated by all the other faces. Terry would prefer to be home sleep. I didn't. Mommy, honest I didn't is the look on Cookie’s face. 27 Human Auction Louise Harpman shows off her purchase. B ■ Stephanie and LaShawn aren’t sure they want to do this. g E v e n t Randy and Jimmy give the ballerinas and cheerleaders competition. Randy Mack. Julie Grant and Darrell Mason seem to be enjoying their roles. 28 Battle Of The Classes The Battle of the Classes is an annu- al event sponsored by the gymnastics class. A four person team from each class compete against each other in various events which include an obstacle course. The class whose team gains the most points wins the battle. This year the Battle of the Classes was won by the junior class. Darrell Mason competes for a position on the senior team. Andy Morris works hard to represent the sophomores. Almost Anything Goes 29 Loyal Viking Fans 30 Versatile 31 32 35 Monique Payton Miss Northeast Miss Northeast for 1981 is Monique Payton. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Payton. Monique is a very busy senior who is involved in various school activities. She is a member of the Honor Society and is Co-president of the Student Council. Monique was voted by her classmates as the sen- ior girl most likely to succeed. 36 Rayford Fisher Mr. Northeast Rayford Fisher was selected to reign as Mr. North- east for 1981. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd S. Fisher. Rayford is very active in sports. He plays tailback on the varsity football team, plays baseball and runs track. He considers being selected as Mr. Northeast as one of the highest honors he has received. 37 LaShawn DeBose Our Northeast High School 1980-81 Homecoming Queen is Miss LaShawn De- Bose, the lovely daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leonardo DeBose. LaShawn is a member of the junior class. She is sargent-at-arms of the Student Council and is very involved in junior class activities. LaShawn was escorted by Mr. Robert Ma- son Davis, who is also a member of the junior class. 38 First Runner-up was Miss Phillippa Humphrey, who was escorted by Alphonzo Smiley. 39 40 The Runner’s Up 3rd Runner Up Sherri And Kevin Christie And Tony 1st Runner UP Tim And Jay 2nd Runner Up 42 Paula Hardenman and Dan Tyler watch as the queen is being announced. 43 Rebecca Brett and Rhonda Thompson pose for a shot during the assembly.

Tucker, Principal The principals had quite a hand full this year. Mrs. Dorothy Tucker, who is in her second year as princi- pal, had the responsibility of over- seeing the total operation of the school. This included enforcement of school board and administrative policies and handling the ever pre- sent paperwork. The assistant principals, Mrs. Evelyn Moore and Mr. Charles C. Miles were both new to Northeast. They were responsible for dealing with teacher referrals, student tar- dies and general discipline difficul- ties. 52 Mrs. Tucker chats with foreign exchange students. Mrs. Evelyn D. Moore, Assistant Principal Mr. Miles stops at the financial office. Mr. Charles C. Miles, Assistant Principal Mrs. Moore seems to enjoy doing her paperwork. 53 Activities Director Mr. James Hamilton has what must be one of busiest offices in our build- ing. As Director of Student Activities, Ham” is responsible for scheduling and coordinating all the schools activi- ties, before, during and after school. He acts as the liason person for admin- istrators, faculty, students, and par- ents. Between scheduling meeting times for the various clubs and organiza- tions, assuring that assemblies run smoothly, and writing the school news-; letter, it is surprising that “Ham” is able to maintain that ever present warmth and friendliness. 54 Clinic Voc. Rehab The school nurse plays an important role at Northeast. Mrs. Patsy Griggs han- dles everything from headaches to frac- tures. She is also responsible for keeping track of immunization records and screening incoming freshmen for possible physical problems. In addition to dispensing band-aids and cotton swabs, Mrs. Griggs also finds time to participate in various activities around the school. ABOVE LEFT: Mrs. Griggs displays a pleasant atti- tude as she performs her duties. BELOW: Mrs. Bar- bara Sabb and her secretary Mrs. Barbara Davis exchange smiles. The Vocational Rehabilitation office is a vital part of Northeast High School. The basic prupose of vocational rehabilitation is to provide services to disabled handi- capped people of all types. It also helps them to prepare for a form of employment suited to their individual needs. The state agency works to provide the kind of rehabilitative services which the individual needs and can use to gain em- ployment. The Vocational Rehabilitation Counsel- or for Northeast is Mrs. Barbara Sabb. Her office is located in the clinic. 55 Secretaries Librarian ABOVE: Mrs. Ann Pierce works as Mrs. Tucker’s secretary. Mrs. Holland makes sure that library materials are readily available. r m fj • Mrs. Donna Pickrel checks books out to some anxious students. The secretaries are an integral part of the day to day activities at Northeast. Whether the job in- eludes keeping accurate atten- dance records, working the switchboard or managing the fi- nancial records, it is important to the total school. One of the most hectic posi- tions is that of secretary to the principal. Mrs. Ann Pierce han- dles this job quite well. Mr. Michael Fulsom and Mrs. Mae Ponds are responsible for the student attendance records. The monumental task of “keep- ing up with the money” rests with Mrs. Mary Denny. The school librarian is Mrs. Debbie Holland who insures that our library is adequately stocked. Mrs. Odessa Curry oversees the A.V. equipment and teachers’ supplies. Writing checks is just one of Mrs. Denny’s jobs. Mrs. Mae Ponds and Mr. Michael Fulson prepare for a busy day. 56 Counselors Always There To Help Many students think that all counselors do is change schedules. Nothing could be less true. The counselors are very busy people. Their job includes setting up various testing schedules and implement- ing them; organizing parent conferences and partici- pating in them; and keeping track of students cred- its. In addition to this, they also find time to work with individual students and help them to prepare for their future after high school. The counselors do a good job of making educa- tional and career opportunities available to the stu- dents.

The English Department has always tried to meet the particular needs of all the students. This year is certainly no exception. Emphasis is being placed on improving the reading skills of the students. Classes in effective reading have been added to the developmental reading classes. Through proper identification and placement, those stu- dents who have reading porblems will be given an op- portunity to improve their reading and comprehension skills. Although improved reading skills are being stressed, there are other courses offered by this department that are of equal importance. Teachers are constantly work- ing to insure that English students improve their writing skills also. Courses in basic and advanced composition are available to those who wish to improve in this area. Other English courses taught include: Language Arts I, II, III. IV; World Literature; Grammar; Mythology; Sci- ence Fiction; Humanities and Advanced Placement English.

Developmental Reading 59 JOURN Y e a r b o o k Vince and Terry are working hard together to finish the Junior Class section. The 1980-81 yearbook staff has had many ups and downs throughout the year. From the beginning, the department was understaffed and under equipped. The new sponsor, Ms. Adkinson, along with her new and inexperienced staff had much to learn, much to accomplish and too little time. The “fantastic four” Martha Gregory, Terry Mackey, Vince Vaughns and editor Robert Davis all pulled to- gether with the help and direction of Ms. Adkinson to put out a very good addition to the Nordley's collection. Martha Gregory works very hard to finish the pages assigned to her. Mrs. Adkinson and editor, Robert Davis review the outliner and proofs for the yearbook. Ms. Adkinson works on page assignments. 60 ALISM N The newspaper staff gathers to compile information for the next issue. e Lisa and Carol are pleased with the ads they have. The 1980-81 newspaper staff started out in as much of a hole as the yearbook staff. With their hard work and determina- tion they produced a paper to be proud of. Thanks to these students and Ms. Ad- kinson, their sponsor, the Norseman Scroll took on a new look. Being on the newspaper staff was not an easy task, but it was well worth the work required. Tammy and Bart work on the paste up of the next paper. 61 Foreign Language ABOVE: Mrs. L. Smith’s French IV students do an oral exercise. Through the study of foreign lan- guages, students learn more about the English language. Students at Northeast have the choice of enrolling in either French, Latin, German or Spanish. In addition to teaching the lan- guage, the teachers in this depart- ment also emphasize the culture and various customs of the coun- Hiedi Butler-Spanish; German ABOVE RIGHT: Mrs. Gouldy makes Latin interesting to her class. tries studied. The number of freshmen enrolling in foreign languages is increasing each year. Many of the students continue to study a language all four years of high school. Some of these students have re- ceived college credit hours for hav- ing completed these courses. ABOVE: Mrs. Butler and her students go over a Spanish lesson. Lucienne Smith-French 62 Learning Centers Mrs. Revelle greets her students enthusiastically. Mrs. Sidney Campbell Mrs. Peggy Newman The learning centers play important role in the educa- tional process. These centers provide settings which cater to those students who have particular learning difficulties. Each student in the learning centers is evaluated by his teachers who writes a program of study to meet the needs of the individual student. Many students who are in the learning centers are also enrolled in regular classes. Because the learning centers exist, many students are helped who might otherwise go unnoticed. Each student is allowed to develop at his own rate. Mrs. Marlene Schmidt Mrs. Kay Sofola Mr. Terry Spigner 63 Math Mrs. Watson's class seems to think that Vikings are 1. The math department offers several courses from which a student may select. Each year the number of students enrolled in the upper level classes increases. This indicates that the ma- jority of students enrolled in math are interested in more than gaining the necessary number of credits for graduation. Although many students enroll in basic, con- sumer, and general maths, there are those brave souls who venture into such classes as Algebra I and II, geometry, and trigonometry. Then there are the daring ones who enroll in advance placement calculus. This is a college prep course which is offered to those students who plan to attend college and pursue college math classes. Although all students are not interested in learning high math, the teachers in this depart- ment are quite capable of helping even the most reluctant students improve their basic math skills. Jeanette Ceasar: Basic consumer math Annette Gravitt: algebra II. trigonometry, advance place- ment calculus Charles Ledbetter: general consumer algebra II. 64 Mr. Nealy explains a math problem on the chalkboard. The Numbers Game Math is often a challenging class to stu- dents. It’s a game that puts the student against the numbers. Most often the stu- dents win, but the numbers have been known to come out on top sometimes. Richard Nealy: Consumer math; Elementary Algebra 1,11 There are even times when studying math becomes an unending battle. But for most students, learning the rules is the key. Once the ground rules are mastered, the game is over-the students win. Berline Watson: Elementary Al- gebra |,||; Geometry: Stu. Council. 65 Social Studies Mr. Ambrister lectures to his class while the students take notes. Social studies has changed drastically since the days of memorizing dates of important events and finding remote places on a map. Teachers in this department take advantage of the guest speaker pool and field trip opportunities to make learning social studies more relevant to their students. Mr. Metscher has made the study of human behavior very interesting to his psychology students by using video tape equipment to film people in various settings. This helped to improve the students appreciation of what they learn in class. The courses offered in social studies include: Oklaho- ma and U.S. history, survey of law, world history, psy- chology, sociology and experimental psychology. Mr. Metscher takes time in the hall to talk with Clark Fudge and Jeff Duncan. Alan Ambrister: Okla U.S. His- tory, Survey of Law Ted Metscher: Psychology, So- ciology, Experimental Psychol- ogy Eddie Davis: U.S. History, Con- temporary studies 66 ABOVE: Mr. Davis gets students involved in class activities.

Each year new equipment and new programs are added to help upgrade the quality of teaching. This year's students are carrying on the tradi- tion of winning top honors at various science com- petitions. Northeast was honored as the best school in the state at the Oklahoma University’s Engineering Day Competition. Northeast took first place in three of the four categories. Steven Fos- ter, a senior Science Center student won first place in the computer competition. Not all students who take science courses do so to enter in or win competitions. Some are just interested in learning more about world problems such as pollution, starvation, energy and health care. Emphasis is placed; however, on the stu- dents interested in pursuing high education. Most of the higher level science classes are two hour blocks which allows the student more time for experiments and study. Mr. Kenneth Edmond is the director of the cen- ter.

Bio-Med Another First The Bio-Medical Professions is sponsored jointly by the Oklahoma City Public Schools and the Oklahoma University Health Sci- ences Center. The general purpose of the program is to identify students from grades 9-12 who have interests in health related careers and to assist them in preparation for these professional educational programs. There are currently forty students enrolled in the Bio-Medical Professions. The coordina- tor, Mr. Ronald Walker, hopes that the class can be enlarged. Quite a few transferees from various city schools are in the pro- gram. Classes are held every other day at the Oklahoma University Health Sciences Center. Each week guest speakers inform the students about careers and specialities in the health sciences. Dewey McClellan Physics David Miller Chemistry Willie Reynolds Ronald Walker Microbiology Biology II Environmental Science Bio- Med 69 Business Mr. Woods prepares material for his next class. The Business department plays a very important role in a student's preparation for life after high school. Not only does the business department teach students the basic courses such as general business, typing, shorthand and accounting, it also provides practical experience through employment in various business areas. The faculty members who comprise the business de- partment are: Mrs. Barbara Albritton, Mrs. Mary Best and Mr. Jim Woods. Students Prepare For Work World Mrs. Albritton shows a student how to do an assignment.

Industrial and domestic arts classes provide spe- cialized training for future employment of students. The classes taught in this department are: auto me- chanics, welding, woodwork, cosmetology and home economics. in the Cooperative Vocational Home Economics class taught by Mrs. Culpepper, students are allowed to work on jobs which are home economics related. This experience is designed to complement the things being taught in the classroom. Students in the vocational area get first hand ex- periences in their classes. Auto mechanics, welding, woodwork and cosmetology students accept cus- tomers for whom they provide services for a small fee. The fees collected are used to buy necessary supplies. Mr. Donnelly shows Earnest and Joe the correct way to repair and exhaust system Vickie McElroy uses her cosmetology skills to do Yolanda Clark's hair.

The classes offered by the Fine Arts Department include: vocal and instrumental music, art, drama, and stage craft. This department is unique in that it not only teaches skills, but also gives students an opportunity to de- velop talents which may be helpful in the future. The art students display their cre- ations through building and commu- nity exhibits. They also get an op- portunity to show their accomplish- ments at the school's annual Arts Festival. Mr. Jernigan’s marching and stage bands are among the best in the city. The Drama students, under the direction of Mr. Ben Oglesby, have performed several outstanding pro- ductions. 72 Physical Education In-House Suspension Coach Jones takes his class through warm up exercises before the day's activities begin. In-House Suspension is a pro- gram which was developed as an alternative to suspending students from school for unacceptable be- havior. Students are referred to in- house” for a minimum of three days as a result of any infraction ranging from ditching class to fighting. In-house students are supervised by Coach Dempsey Patton. The students are isolated from the gen- eral student body and are not al- lowed to interact with other stu- dents not in “in-house”. This arrangement seems to work out quite well. Once students have experienced “in-house” suspen- sion, few are likely to be repeaters. All students are required to take a physical education class prior to be- ing graduated from high school. The only students who are exempt are those with physical limitations which prevent them from participating in any physical activity. Physical education is a co-educa- tional course which, contrary to popular belief, consist of much more than just playing games. Teachers Sheila Bacus and Archie Jones emphasize learning rules as well as developing skills; conse- quently, physical education im- proves the mind as well as the body. Coach Patton and his students are the first to eat lunch each day. Students practice their basketball skills. Mrs. Sheila Bacus teacches P.E.. gym- nastics, and dance. 73 Drivers Education ABOVE: Mr. Ponder prepares for another hour of driving. BELOW: Mr. Allen and Jerome Lewis are ready to drive. The Drivers Education Department is very important to all students. They learn how to execute the basic driving skills required to drive an automobile. They also learn how to react in dangerous situations. Mr. Allen and Mr. Ponder prepare the students to be- come licensed drivers. Before the students can drive a car on the streets, they must complete required book work, pass written tests and practice driving on the simulators. Then comes the real test—driving on the streets of our fair city. With a limited class load allowance, Mr. Allen and Mr. Ponder have little difficulty keeping their classes full.

Seldom do we stop to consider the persons who are responsible for making these things hap- pen. Mrs. Rose Davis, our cafeteria man- ager, does a good job of seeing to it that all cafeteria related areas are run smooth- iy- The physical upkeep of the building is the responsibility of Mr. Reginal John- son’s staff. Mrs. Donna Brooks and Mr. Charles Holbert are the persons who keep the building secure and quell any potential disturbances. Donna Brooks Security Rose Davis Cafeteria Manager Charles Holbert Security Reginal Johnson Head Custodian 75 The persons selected as officers for the Stu- dent Council have a big responsibility. They are charged with the task of seeing to it that all of the Council's projects are run effectively and smoothly. The officers for 1980-81 are: Robert Davis.

Student Council has always been a very important part of Northeast High and this year's council is no exception. To receive an even better understanding of leadership, the four officers attended the State Student Council Workshop at Central State University during the summer. At the beginning of the year, the Council found them- selves with an all new problem never encountered before The short schedule. The short schedule threw a monkey wrench in most of the first weeks activities. But the council soon over came this and got down to some serious gov- ernment. Without the Student Council, many of the school’s taken for granted activities would not take place. Some of those activities include: Howdy Week; Join-A- Club Week; Citizen of the Month; Frosh Orientation; Pep Assemblies; Student Store; First School Dance; Home- coming Boutonnieres; Canned Food Drive; United Appeal Drive; Bake Sales; Turkey Baskets for the Needy; Repre- sentation at the School board; Homecoming Theme “One In A Million”; and the list goes on and on. Once again Student Council has had a productive year full of fun, excitement, responsibility and hard work. Student Council Members listen closely to what the offi- cers have to say during class time. 79 Drama Announcers The drama department is under the leadership of Mr. Ben Oglesby. The students presented such out- standing productions as Flowers for Algernon and the musical The King and I. The drama club is conprised of some very talented and enthusiastic students. The announcers, also sponsored by Mr. Oglesby, is another active group. Through their radio station WNE, the club members provide entertain- ment for the students during the lunch periods. They also present the weekly announcements. 80 0-Club The O Club is a unique or- ganization because potential members may not just choose to become members. They must earn something in order to gain membership. Before they are allowed to become members the students must earn a letter in at least one sport. The O Club’s primary pur- pose is to bring all athletes together in support of the ath- letic programs at our school. 81 c ■ I e t y TOP ROW: Mike Bates. Mark Miller. Ricky Meadors. Chris McCown.

Amy Asch and Kara Eichner. 82 Latin Club The Latin Club may not be the largest club at Northeast, but it is certainly the most fun. Members of this flamboyant club can always find a reason to go parading down the halls in their togas. There is a lot of hard work that goes into mak- ing the club a success. This year the Latin Club entered their version of a Roman Tem- ple-on-a-truck in the Home- coming parade. The Latin Club officers are: Doyle Bullock, President; Ra- chel Leathers, secretary; Jana Vermilion, treasurer; and Lou- ise Harpman and Alisa Har- vey, Ex Officio.

The band performs at all the pep assemblies, and entertains at all the football and basketball games. The drummers always add that extra touch with a bit of magic all their own. In addition to performing at athletic and oth- er school events, the band participates in var- ious parades and performs concerts. The band is also active in state and regional contests. The Northeast Stage Band is one of the best in the city. These talented young musicians are frequently invited to perform at events through- out the city as well as at various School activi- ties such as homecoming. The instrumental music department is one that every Viking can be proud of.

BASEBALL BASKETBALL CROSS COUNTRY FOOTBALL GOLF GYMNASTICS SOFTBALL SWIMMING TENNIS TRACK WRESTLING 103 Young Vikings Gain Experience Post 1-9 Record What does it take to have a win- ning football team? Many think the team which scores the most points is the winner. This, of course, is not always the case. There are various degrees of winning. The 1980 Viking football team demonstrated the character and fortitude of winners by their determination to continue their efforts under persistent adver- sity. These young men endured the bone-bruising, muscle-tearing and brain-tiring rigors of the game week after week. Quite often with very lit- tle support. But since the numbers were not on the scoreboard — Basking in the glory of victory is very easy, but Coach Hart, his staff and players are to be commended for the outstanding display of char- acter and determination which typli- fies loyal Northeast Vikings.

This year’s basketball team is under new leadership. The new head coach is Alexander Dempsey Patton. Jr. who is assisted by Ben Hart. Coach Patton inherited a talented group of players, but faced a year of rebuilding after having lost five starting players to graduation. The Vikes got off to a strong start by defeat- ing conference foes Capitol Hill and Southeast. They also took first place in the Byng Invita- tional Tournament. The experience of Ronald Wilburn, the only returning starter from last year’s team, was valuable to the overall efforts of the team. This, coupled with the determination of coach Pat- ton and the other team members, helped to make the season a successful one for the Vikes. With the help of a promising group of fresh- men and sophomores, Patton can look forward to more successful seasons.

The players use the time to rest, while Coach Patton siezes the opportunity to express his frustration or pleasure. Basically, the time is used to “get it together” for the second half.

In most games, the talented Vikettes seem almost awe- some to their opponents. Some teams; however, refused to give up without a fight. Defeating the Millwood team was no easy task, but the Vikettes manage to squeak past them by a narrow one point margin. Coach Steele and his assistant Mrs. Sheila Weary have an abundance of talented young ladies to work with. The mighty Vikettes are definitely “One In A Million”. 114 Coach Steele gives Sheila, Lisa and Angie some pointers. Lisa Hart goes up for two. Sheila and Angie block as Lisa goes for two.

Because of inexperience, the young ladies were outmatched in most of their contests. Although the won-loss record is not impressive, Coach Willie Thom- as praised his players for the char- acter shown throughout the season. They worked hard all season long and never gave up. 118 Kneeling: Rebecca Brett; Liz Wilson; Amy Anderson; Millie Lekas.

State Champion Returns Coach Archie Jones looks forward to a very outstanding track season. His team was quite successful last year. One reason for the success of last year’s team was Randy Mack. Randy was a mem- ber of the state championship mile relay team; he also placed third in the long jump. He holds the school record for both the two mile relay with a time of 8 minutes 13.2 seconds and the long jump with a jump of 22 feet 8 inches. Randy and the other track team members are hopeing to bring home even more state championship medals. The girls track team also has a lot to look forward to. Junior Sheila Willis is a returning state champion. She won the discus throw- ing event. Coach Larry Steele can anticipate a very good season.

The girls swim team looks stron- ger than last winter’s team with the loss of only one swimmer. The girls are working hard to return to their championship form of last year. Coach Miller expects both the girls and boys teams to defend their Capitol Conference and All City Championships which they won last year. 127 Gymnastics A New Sport For Northeast For the first time in the history of our school, Northeast offers com- petitive gymnastics as an athletic al- ternative. Mrs. Sheila Bacus coaches the male and female teams. Both of the teams compete against other gymnastics teams around the city. They conclude the season with the Capitol Conference meet. Gymnastics is an exciting new ad- dition to the athletic program at Northeast. Although the teams have a small number of students partici- pating, Mrs. Bacus anticipates the number will grow as the sport catches on.

The members of the cross country team begin getting in shape by running no less than five miles each day. This year’s team was faced with a tremendous problem. Because no team was fielded last year, this year's runners were all new-none had run cross country before. Coach Sam Chaney expects to re- turn several experienced runners for next year’s team. He also anticipates posting a much better record. 129 ’ U yj ' M , Cund: pJUaAjd , X) 130 Senior Superiority Peter Acton Walletta Alexander Alvin Allen Alan Amick Alonzo Anderson Debbie Angle Amy Asch Brenda Baird Julie Balkenbush Shari Beheler Leslie Bell Jeanna Black Joshlyn Black Tracy Black Maurice Booker Marla Boley 132 Class Favorites Most Likely To Succeed Phillip Erdoes Monique Payton Most Intellectual Eric Pederson Jeanette Cunningham Ernest Bowler Stacy Branham Faleshia Brown Mark Brown Norma Bruner Robyn Buck Jon Buckhart Velma Byers Barbara Carter Helen Caston Lori Chandler Michelle Chatham Yolanda Clark Dana Collins Steven Collins Karen Cougill John Corless April Courtney Steve Cox Jeanette Cunningham Tammy Curtis Donna Daghlian Karol Dancy Bernadean Davis 134 Dana Deardeuff Tandi Dillard David Ewing Rayford Fisher Marty Ford Deborah Franklin Best Looking Monique Payton Phillip Erdoes Best Sense Of Humor Stacey Branham Phil Manning Best Dressed Diana Higgs Keith Breckenridge Demee Gambulos 136 Most Talented Kayleen Grayson Crystal Hall Crystal Hall John Leaf Tracy Hammonds Jeff Harrington John Harpman Diana Higgs Sannnon Highley LaDonna Hildreth Lisa Holidy Lisa Howard Ron Ice William Inge 137 Most Spirited Julie Grant Mike Chatham Curtis Jones Toni Jones John Jordan Sharon Kabelitz Allan Karr Shelly Kimber Erma King Jess Kirby Murphy Kirklin Terri Koehn 138 Most Athletic Rachel Leathers Kathleen Legako Cookie Davis Matt Collins Betty LeJeune Leon Leverett Winston Lewis Braxton Little Sandra Ligons Julie Lusk Chris McCown Vickie McElroy 139 Most Friendly Julie Balkenbush Jimmy Webb Phil Manning Felicia March Berthina Mason Darrell Mason Richard Meador Gerald Miller Mark Miller Julie Moore 140 Patricia Moore Jeanette Morgan Jerry Mustin Keith Newton Tracy Newton Stephanie Nolan Alan Norton Patricia Ontko Ezzard Owens Monique Payton Lynn Parker Annette Parks Eric Pederson Marva Pitre Cindy Revelle Lekeda Richmond 141 Senior Seniority!! This means a great deal to the class of '81. Not only does it mean being looked up to by the underclassmen, it also means accepting the responsibility that comes with the title. Seniors are constantly being challenged both financially and scholastically. Every- where you look there are seniors either checking credits, paying dues or ordering caps and gowns and announcements. There always seems to be something left to do, but in spite of all the responsibilities and frustra- tions it’s still “great being at the top”.

They won the hall decoration contest with one of the most original designs to be used in years. Much of the art work was done by John Leaf, but many of the seniors worked very hard in this prize winning effort. Comic strip characters lined the main hall as they told the tale “The Adventures of the N.E. Vikings”. Monique. Rayford and Cookie represent the seniors royally. Not only did the seniors win the hall decorations contest, they also captured several royalty positions. Monique Payton and Rayford Fisher were selected by the student body to reign as Mr. and Miss Northeast. Julie Grant was chosen Miss Viking by the football team.

Since this class is responsible for presenting the prom, fund raising activities began al- most as soon as school opened. Preparing for the prom is a very time consuming activity, but many of the Junior class members found time to become involved in various other activities. The yearbook and newspaper staffs are comprised solely of juniors. These students have done an outstanding job representing the Journalism De- partment. Juniors were very involved in the homecoming activities. Their efforts paid off when they were awarded first prize for their float design.

Catch It! e Catch It! r Being a freshman means being in an almost constant state of confu- sion and frustration. It’s an awful feeling to lose the Battle Cry” at the first pep assembly because no one bothered to explain what the “Battle Cry” is. It is also very em- barrassing to be spotted immedi- ately as a freshman because you can't find your next class. After the first quarter of school, things begin to change. The Fresh- men learn the “Battle Cry”, the Fight Song and the Alma Mater — and find all their classes on time! They even learn to avoid those men- acing seniors who insist on giving them a hard time. This year’s Freshman Class is definitely “On In A Million”. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Betty McDermott and Mr. Fred Edmonds, they have really gotten into the swing of things. Although being in high school for the first time presents various prob- lems, this year’s group of freshmen are adjusting and fitting comfortably into the day to day routine of being Vikings.

It was most certainly a labor of love; for only out of love for Northeast and what it stands for were we able to see this task through to completion. A resounding thank you goes out to our “special” friends who believed in us and were there for us when the going really got rough. You people know who you are and we love you. To the “fantastic four”: you know how I feel about you. Thanks for your tolerance, your understanding and of course your hard work. Marilyn A. Adkinson, Sponsor The Fantastic Four: Robert M.
