Seniors were let out ear- ly from homeroom to select lockers in keeping with Northeast tradition. Getting it straight.

Freshmen initiation was held a few days before school started to get students ac- quainted with the school. Getting thereg one of the first pro- blems to solve is transportation. Brothers john, Kevin, and Todd Gregg have found a unique way of getting to school. Mopeds, unlike bikes, require no pedaling, and they get you where you're going in a hurry! pf

STUDE T LIFE Students came together, disbanded, and came together in new arrangements and more memorable experiences. Throngs of people at pep assemblies responded to the callings of David Paine and Tim Schofield. Valhalla brought powder puff and the winning team of the sophomore class. It also brought the an- tics and yells of male cheerleaders. Students presented plays and Christmas concerts or en- joyed being part of the audience. Leisure time activities called students to the Men at Work concert, Buccaneers' and Rowdies' games, movies, and to check out Tyrone and Pinellas Square Malls. Who will ever forget Homecom- ing, the Prom, Grad Night, Senior Breakfast, or Graduation? Whatever they did, Northeast was the tie that bound students together. Typical of the energy and get up and go of Viking cheerleaders is Latricia Clinton. These leaders rallied the crowds and directed support to the teams. STUDENT LIFE DIVIDER 9

For starters . . . At first glance, the begin- ning of school and graduation seem miles apart. Other than the fact that they both have to do with school, they seem to have nothing in common. But upon further examination, both, in their own way, are beginnings. Anxiety and excitement build as the opening of school approaches. While most students don't look for- ward to all the heartaches and the headaches, as well as the endless mountains of homework which accompany school, they are glad to see friends they've fallen out of contact with over the sum- mer. Returning to school a grade higher adds to the ex- citement, especially for freshmen beginning the best years of their lives, and seniors who have finally made it to the top. After a marathon homeroom session on the first day of school, students received their new schedules. Then it was off to the fights for lockers. Top lockers in Building Seven- teen were the most sought after. Then students began their first day with their new schedules, which in only a matter of weeks would become a regular routine. Then, at the other end of the scale, graduation seems far from similar to the begin- ning of school. While gradua- tion day is seen as an end to all things that we've grown accustomed to over the past twelve years, it is in a larger sense a new beginning, a new start. For some it may seem like a false start con- sidering that they'll be star- ting school someplace else in a few months. Others will start their new lives in a great way by joining the ar- my or another military branch. Some will look elsewhere after jobs to sup- port themselves and others. No matter in what area the graduates choose to make their new start, they will all face new responsibilities and challenges and find a new life very different from the one of the past four years of high school. A hearty shake from Mr. Zachary and recognition from fellow students makes graduation day special for 1982 graduates. Following the ceremony, many students go to par- ties with family and friends to celebrate their accomplishment. The real thing. After receiving a mock diploma during the formal commencement exercises, Chris Yeabower picks up his real diploma from Mr. Earl Wilson, his homeroom teacher.
