HALL OF FAME Getting the job done School, like life itself, is only as much fun as you make it, and you only get back what you're willing to give in return. According to how much Angel McGowan put into school, she should get back many rewards! Angel was in- volved in Student Government, serving as a freshman and sophomore senator and as the junior class secretary. She was also in Key Club, the National Honor Society, and on the Soundings staff. She played an important part in VICA, serving as the school and regional treasurer in her junior year and as school president and state representative and officer in her senior t 'say t a fs I, f. year. Angel believed that these activities have prepared me for the future by ex- posing me not only to new ideas and ways, but also to a wide variety of people. Her most outstanding memories of her four years at Northeast were those of the good times and the people who have shared them - other students, and especially the faculty. Angel was not really looking forward to graduation because I'm going to miss everything and everyone so much. Her varied in- terests and willingness to get involved will keep her future busy.

They must not be, for if they were, it would be doubtful that Northeast would have the highest county enrollment in these classes. Advanced Placement English, taught by Mr. Rick Coffman, and Ad- vanced Placement History, taught by Mr. Fred Dorsett and Ms. Denise Hart, were offered. Benefits of these courses were three- fold: first, since they were honors courses, grades earned carried an extra honors' point. Secondly, they were helpful in applying for colleges. It shows academic excellence on the part Intent on finishing their assignment, Lowella Esperanza, Tammy Randall, Leslie Kizzee, Lechi Vo, Kathe Richert, and Sharon Clark work quickly in their A.P. English class. From taking this course, students had more realistic expectations of what awaited them in college. 204 SENIORS!Ha-He of the person who takes one or both of these classes, Mr. Coffman com- mented. Third, the courses were designed to prepare students for a nationwide advanced placement test. These tests were graded on a scale of one to five points, five the highest possi- ble grade. Depending how high the score, it was possible to be exempt from freshman English or history at most ma- jor colleges and universities. These ex- emptions might translate into financial aid. Organizing his thoughts in A.P. history is Steve Ivory. Students had their first chance at writing a research essay for that class when they wrote on the American Revolution. l
