THE STUDENT, ADMINISTRATION, AND COMMUNITY TABLE OF CONTENTS OPENING 2 LIVING AND LEARNING 8 BEING AND BELONGING 134 OPENING F Change—An Unequalled Unifier Of Community, State, And Nation Change—the mysterious, under- lying force that has directed the lives of each individual—has been insti- tuted to improve, to progress, and to advance. Uniquely, the change in administration at Northeastern hap- pened simultaneously with the trans- fer of the reigns of government on both the state and national levels from a Republican to a Democratic administration. Typical of the recent changes in faculty and staff mem- bers. Mr. Phillip Herndon and Mr. Billie Reid became the new principal and assistant principal, respectively. Unfortunately, all these men were linked together by a factor some- what less pleasant than being cast in a new position—the bitterly cold weather. The winter of 1976-1977 not only etched itself into “Amer-1 ica’s history book” as a result of its icy winds that ravaged the East Coast, but by the drastic actions and immediate decisions that were made by the people and their leaders. This situation magnified the co- herence of the commanders, be- cause the decisions of the President affected North Carolina, those of j the Governor influenced Elizabeth City, and those of the principal con- cerned Northeastern. Students and faculty members had not counted on massive “shivering” ' from the cold as a means of adjusting i to the new change at school. They did have consolation in knowing that the President, the Governor, and the principal were “quivering,” also. 2 LEVELCHANGE Opposite top—Even the “old north wind” whose piercing icy chill blankets the capital city of Raleigh can not prevent Governor James Hunt from delivering his fiery, straight-for- ward inaugural address. The original ideas and revolutionary proposals that are stated in his speech ignite the “flame of hope” for the suc- cess of the “little guy” during his term in office. Above—“Fritz and Grits get them every time! The new “first family” — Mrs. Rosalynn Car- ter, President Jimmy Carter, Vice-President Walter Mondale, and Mrs. Joan Mondale form the “indivisable chain of power as they salute the nation at the 1976 National Demo- cratic Convention. In “century III,” one is envisoning the ultimate success story — from peanuts” to the presidency. What else can one say, but that Fritz and Grits are moving on up!” Left—Mr. Phillip Herndon steals a moment from his hectic day to compliment and con- gratulate his “new family” on their improved behavior at the festive homecoming assembly. This easy-going man will stop at any time of the day to council or console one of his many “blossoming scholars.” LEVELCHANGE 3 OPENING OPENING 4 DISCIPLINE At first, the idea of a different manner of discipline “chilled stu- dents to the bone” with apprehen- sion. The thought of punishment from a new principal who was an ex- military officer brought to mind such horrors as “execution by a firing squad” or “sentencing to prison camps.” Of course there were a few “dishonorable discharges,” but stu- dents found discipline was being handled in a “revolutionary” way. It was not always “thrown at” pu- pils, but discussed with them. Some of the new disciplinary meas- ures were signed written pledges in which students promised to abide by the “laws” of the school as prescribed in the handbook and cumbersome wooden hall passes that meant “in- stant death” to those students who were discovered without them! The most startling step in enacting the measures was the permitting of some students to decide the “fate” of their peers via the Student Congress. It seemed just as a recruit could become a commander, a student could be- come a leader. The nation had Congress, the state had the Legislature, and North- eastern had a governing body that was indeed “for the student, by the student, and of the student.” This situation was a warning to the “gi- ants” of the N.H.S. administration that they had to beware because “the little man was taking charge!” Revolutionary Discipline Changes Doubters Into “Macho” Eagles Opposite top—Once again, these juniors will brave that “blinding flash” in order to secure their most desired and needed possession —• an identification card. Opposite bottom—“Operation Clean-up” has shifted into full gear with the persistent help of Loretta Jolly and Rodney Matthews. Who says st udents don’t care for their school? Gutter top—Some students like to live dan- gerously. Not only is Clifton Banks loitering in the hall without a pass, but he is also ripping open a locker. Doesn’t Clifton know one can be sent to the “slammer” for breaking and enter- ing? Gutter bottom—Ah. Tim Barnett takes no chances of being “cornered” in the hall by a teacher as a result of not displaying a pass. Such a permit serves as his main piece of ammunition” against the unknown dangers” that may lurk in the halls. Above—Once again Mr. Herndon addresses his “a bit unruly flock” on their behavior. Poor Rev. J. Barnes seems to be the “hardest hit” by the rather stern lecture. DISCIPLINE 5 OPENING Above—Head cheerleader Loretta Jolly pre- pares the anxious audience for that “bit of excitement” that has been prevalent in many of the numerous assemblies. After previous performances by Alice Cooper. Jr..” alias Handy Shiley. and ludicrous faculty imper- sonators. the crowd doesn’t know what to expect. Right—Alas. Patsy Pierce applies the finish- ing touches to her new parking permit. Now. her only worry will be remembering where she parked her car. Gutter top—Debbie Wood depicts the mental anguish that each parking permit applicant must endure while Mr. Herndon shuffles thru endless stacks of forms in the hope of finding her special one. Opposite bottom left—Seniors scurry to an early lunch after a morning bout with growling stomachs and intense hunger pains. Opposite bottom right—Mike Hisher and Wil- liam Hollister find peace, solitude, and com- plete relief in their own haven — the senior court. 6 PRIVILEGES The most incredible phenomenon that occurred during the school’s existence was the granting of senior privileges bv the administration with- out a ‘‘formal requisition” from the students. In previous years, seniors had fought and demanded for their ‘‘rights,” but the only fighting the present seniors did was to recover from the ‘‘initial shock” of the new occurrence. Of course, there were “strings attached” to the privileges— the major one being an immese clean- up campaign — but many were eventually “knotted”. There were several prized privileges granted to the students. One was a senior court where upperclassmen could relax outside in their own special place. Another privilege was an early dismissal for lunch during which seniors could be the first to al- leviate their hunger pains. A third one was that of parking permits which aided in relieving the daily “3:10 traf- fic jam.” It also enabled students who didn’t have them to judge how much they adored their “towed away” cars by the price of the vehicles’ recovery fee. The need to soothe a growling stomach, the urge to “unwind”, and the idea of knowing that one’s car was where he had parked it made senior privileges precious. These were the reasons a senior spelled relief thus: P-R-I-V-I-L-E-G-E-S. Privileges—The Seniors’ Best Means Of Relief o w 2 2 o PRIVILEGES 7 Northeastemers realized that learning was not only accomplished by “drinking in” a tedious classroom lecture or reading a “mind-boggling” passage in a text book, but by getting involved in every aspect of school life. Whether one was tackling an oppon- ent in a grueling football game or merely relaxing with a friend, he was developing new interpersonal rela- tionships. As a result of holding leadership positions in clubs, many students realized that they were adult enough to decipher their own problems with- out “bugging the guardians” — the faculty and administration. At one time the Student Congress was con- sidered the “school bully,” because it temporarily suspended many of the senior privileges as a result of the “less than perfect” behavior. It weav- ed its way into the “good graces” of the student body when it finally reached the solution — “the nickle payback system,” a method in which one deposited an extra nickle for his lunch and “withdrew” it upon return- ing his tray. Yes, one needed more than just “book-learning” to be an “educated” Northeasterner. He had to “live” by participating and cooperating with his peers. Indeed, he wished to be the first to set the trend in “century III” of solving his own dilemmas. Left—Ouch! The “cool confident, and coordi- nated Eagle player maneuvers a brutal block as a result of the mental hotline between a player and his opponent. This “communica- tion enables the player to “decode his en- emy's strategy before the play commences. Above—“Calling all cars! Calling all cars! Charma Mitchell is just one of several mem- bers of Mrs. E. Harris’ history class who dis- covers the policeman’s information very in- teresting. but hopefully not useful. “Wow, it’s just like on television!” Opposite top—The beauty of the early morn- ing is accentuated by the lovely young ladies who take a minute to relax amidst masses of chattering students in the smoking area before school begins. Circle—“Maid for hire! Only five cents a tray. Why not leave the walking to me?” Debbie Hartzog. Northeastern’s “Happy Home- maker,” performs her profitable, daily routine of making lunchtime “a little more livable for the cafeteria “connoisseur. STUDENT LIFE Seasons At NHS ChockfuU Of Life’s Experiences From year to year, season to sea- son, day to day, we are continually changing. The only consistency in life is this inevitability of change, for to survive we must constantly reshape and renew ourselves. Changes are often looked on as only being negative and creating conflict. Life, however, is made livable through change, be- cause it is a force that lends excite- ment to life, that makes a challenge out of each new day. An extension of the meaning of change is growth and it is this type that was greatly em- phasized at NHS. The objective of our program was to take the student, to mold and shape him, and to help him to grow intellectually and emo- tionally. The student was thus changed, purposely for the better. To view the student life at NHS from season to season, from day to day, was to see how each moment could hold its own special trials and joys, and if taken advantage of, could con- tain the chance for beneficial change and growth, yielding the mature stu- dent ready to face the challenge of those inevitable changes in the future. Lower left—Spring— The symbolic season of rebirth, and rejuvenation—is doubly ex- emplified by a newly flowered dogwood blossom super-imposed over the Christian enblem of new life. Spring has its Easter, but every season contains a little bit of Spring. Lower right—Smoothly gliding across the cool Pasquotank River, this sailboat is happily underway to the warm fun and freedoms of the summer months, and to the enjoyment of superfluous stimulations. Above—The flow of life may become sluggish Below—A patch-work blanket of multi-colored in winter but activity is never frozen. leaves exemplifies the varied life of fall.

Student director Dianna Williams works fever- ishly to keep the Pep Band “peppy” and rally the spirits of the students before the Friday night's game. Above—Quiet! Brains at work! Deep concen- tration, Chrissie Chaney, will soon realize, can be just as exhausting as physical labor. Below—Sophomore queens, Susan Jennings and Juanita Cooper have abandoned their French for a regal discussion on savoir faire.” Only Toil Yields A Sturdy Nest Along with the first gusts of nippy autumn air, anxiety blew into the hearts of young and old alike. The chill reminded us that the weather would soon grow cold, and therefore a fury of hasty preparations blossom- ed forth. Squirrels like brown and gray shadows slipped over the leaf- strewn ground gathering and storing food for the upcoming winter. Sim- ilarly, at Northeastern, the fall ushered in fervent preparations. The football players, band members, cheerleaders, and other school organ- izations practiced for many hours in preparation for their winter per- formances. The faculty and adminis- tratin toiled for days to prepare schedules and curricula for the new school year, and finally the students worked to prepare themselves for the upcoming winters, summers, falls and springs that await them in the future. Above—Eagles hit those dummies hard be- cause Friday night the real “dummies” will hit back. Left—Many hours of hard work were put in by the newly organized Drill Team. Their precise movements displayed the reward of practice. AT WORK IN FALL 11 STUDENT LIFE When one looked at the sun sift- ing through the red and gold autumn leaves, he felt as though he was look- ing through a splendid, stained glass window. It was this wonderful natural beauty of autumn that created a spe- cial atmosphere for students to be- come more contemplative and to find serene peace within themselves. At Northeastern, students were encouraged to observe the natural beauty of their surroundings, for the indulgence in the intrinsic world could be not only as refreshing as fall’s chilly air, but also inspiring and enlightening for the mind. Below—Wanda Taylor had better stop talking or she may be late for lunch! Those band members, after marching in the Oyster Bowl Parade, are casting hungry glances! Bears Hibernate We ‘Take Five’ l eft—Lying down on the job? Mr. Herndon may need a rest, but he never stops caring for others, exemplified by his donating blood. Below—Miss Northeastern, Tammie Lamb, takes time to enjoy a sunny autumn afternoon, and relax in the beauty of nature. Left—The serene mood of Miss Senior, Daph- ne Winslow, as she quietly gazes into the Pas- quotank River, reflects inner peace. Below—Whew! Those first gym classes for- cibly awaken aches, pains, and a powerful desire for a few minutes rest! Above—These crazy football players, Manuel Covington, Earl Johnson, and Larry Turner, clown around before the game, but at any rate boys will be boys! Below—“Von’t you come into the tomb of Bonnie Boyce? She is preparing for her role as Vampirella in the Drama Club’s Tricks and Treats Show. The briskness of the autumn air was refreshing relief from the last balmy days of Indian summer. The breezy winds also nudged the colored leaves off of their branches and sent them dancing like butterflies to the brown carpet below. This same brisk air enlivened Northeastern’s stu- dents and blew them into various ac- tivities. Some became mighty war- riors and played football on Friday nights, while others marched down the field playing shiny instruments. Always Fantastic Fall revived us and made us want to get out and fully en- joy life by being involved. Work Done? Let’s Have Fun! Above—The background of delighted faces proves that everyone appreciates the Harlem Heyday’s antics during their performance. Below left—These confident Eagles are ex- huberant over the recovery of the fumbled pigskin.” Below—Betsy Hawkins and Sharon Bailey don’t have to play make believe,” for they are the Junior Queens. STUDENT LIFE The Autumn, with its leaves like flaming torches of gold burning brightly against a veiled and violet haze, contained perhaps some of the most inspiring moments in human existence. Its beauty ushered in a new school year, and at North- eastern, a beginning when everyone could renew their minds, raise their sights, and become the best versions of themselves. The fall at NHS meant that her students could work, play, start over again together, and mature and grow — then harvest all that they had come to know. Upper right—This Eagle is up a tree! Hope- fully. Teresa Holmes isn’t up there nesting, for winter winds are blowing her way! Above—Ho Hum. so ends another day. Johnna Blount looks as if she’s about had it. Those first hectic days of school can really tire body and soul. Johnna, take a break, please! Right—Darrell Bell delivers a fitting eulogy for the “laying to rest” of a deceased Green- ville Rose football player. Lower left corner—The energetic motions of the Varsity Cheerleaders may stimulate the emotions of the corwd and help spur the play- ers to victory, but they also keep the girls warm during freezing Friday night games. Freaky, Frosty Fantastic Fall Fires Fun Finale 14 FALL HARVEST Below—Randy “Alice Cooper” Shilley and his cohort Nick “Little Alice” Devillo enlivened the crowd’s spirit with frenetic hard rocking cheers during the Homecoming Pep Rally. Wistful Winds Whisk Wonder Where Winter Waits Above— The trash and dirt were beautiful while blanketed in white, but so were the smiles of students as they scooped up hand- fuls of this blanket for playful tosses. Below—The snow. wind, sun, and an old cornfield have created a natural masterpiece, complete with a snowy head of a majestic Eagle, guarding the beauty around him. Around about December the old North Wind decided that things needed to be cooled off a bit down in Eastern North Carolina, and during the winter of 1977, he did his best to put a “freeze” on the action in our area. We supposed he had decid- ed that all of the hustle and bustle in the fall was a waste of energy. Because he likes the sluggish cold, he puffed-up his cheeks until they popped! His icy breath extinguished the golden torches of the fall and the land became a delicate etching of black and white against a sky-gray background. Winter even managed to throw a thin blanket of snow over our heads and slow us down. Not for long, however, because we don’t stop enjoying life simply because it is cold. When we had to keep our ther- mostats down to conserve our na- tion’s energy, we just poured on more “personal” energy. So old North Wind, we kept in motion even though you tried to turn us into ice cubes! And, we kept warm, even if only through the warmth of friendship, through those wonderful winter weeks of’77. Above—Even though spring flowers are color- ful and fragrant this winter blossom of ice has a quiet beauty of its own, one that reaches out and captivates its admirers. A WEEK IN WINTER 15 STUDENT LIFE Above—If that phone rings just one more time Mrs. Parker will surely scream! Well, everything seems to go wrong on Mondays. No wonder they call them “blue . Mrs. Parker can put them on “hold until tomorrow. At any time during the year Mon- day begins with a reluctance to get up and get going, but it was espe- cially difficult to prv oneself out of a warm bed on a Monday morning in the winter. That initial sting- ing slap of freezing air set one just hurdling back into the safety of a “toasty” bed. When one did finally make it to school, things weren’t much better for the atmos- phere was heavy in Monday’s moody “blahs.” Perhaps it was because life had slowed down and grown cold over the weekend, and Monday was the day to pick the rhythm back up to set things in motion. One opti- mistic thought, however, for mun- dane Monday: The rest of the week will have to be better. 16 ... ON MONDAY Upper right corner—Poor Willette Jones has had it with Monday. In this position she is the epitome of that “blah” feeling. Cheer up! Willette can soon go home for good: that is. when she graduates. Above—The “do-bop-dee bahs” of the Navy Show Band pushed one Monday’s blues back in time and out of the mind, and rocked and rolled everyone into a jovial spirit. Below—You have to dig your hands deep into your pockets to keep Jack Frost from biting them off; he has very sharp teeth. Monday Feels Mad, Then Merry Above—The male spectators may enjoy the fast-moving games, but they don’t mind the movements of cheerleaders, like Loretta Jolly and Rose Harrell, during “time out.” Lower left—Mike Dickerson keeps a steady eye on Antonio Overton’s half time aerial acrobatics that were as thrilling as the game. Tuesday Tempts Tickles, Turns ‘Peepers’ Teary On Tuesday, life had probably warmed up and started getting back into the “swing”, but other than being just this second day, Tuesday, didn’t offer too much in the way of thrills — unless it happened to be the night of a home basketball game. If the Eagles few home. Tuesdays be- came a little more tempting and promising of sport ive fun. I eft—'The NHS Pep Band’s lively music makes the crowd want to get up and bump and the plavers really want to highly jump. Below—Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Super Arthur! Everyone looks up to Arthur Newby, especially when he is only inches away from the ceiling. STUDENT LIFE Ideas Wrestle Mind And Body Bv the middle of the week all of the mechanisms of school life were piping hot and in full operation. Life at NHS had settled back into a nor- mal routine. Therefore, to some, Wednesday and Thursday meant hum-drum tedium. To the more optimistic students; however. Wed- nesday was minus 2 and counting for the weekend blast off. and Thursday held for them a special aura of excite- ment. This group, then, on Wednes- day began preparing for Saturday, perhaps by building a float for the Christmas Parade, or by decorating trees in accordance to the season. Then, on Thursday, they decided what better day could there be for an NHS Wrestling Match than the day named after the strong Norse God of thunder and lightning. During those matches of strength the warring WRESTLERS do feel as if they have been struck by lightning, especial- ly if another lands on their head. The warmhearted thoughts of the weekend on Wednesdays, and the flying sparks of Thursday’s tourna- ments of human dynamo thawed out and fired up our mid-week spirits. Above, right—This Christmas tree may not be a real evergreen, but the love put into dec- orating it will always be freshly alive, a love that won’t fade or wilt away. Right—Just as the angels of 2000 years ago blessed the earth, on this float the angelic- looking Homecoming Court will grace the Christmas Parade. 18 ON WEDNESDAY ANDTHURSDAY Left—These guys had better hurry up! Christ- mas is nearly upon us and that tree is far from being ready. What are they waiting for anyway. Santa Claus? Below—As Love Day is only a few days away. Delma Twine is probably thinking of her own special Valentine, as she gazes at the hearts and dollies in the window. Above—Young wrestlers, during their con- nents, they have strength, but if they conquer tests, learn that if they conquer their oppo- their own tempers, they are strong. Frosty Fridays—Happily Frolic! Above—All of these chilly cheerleaders are bundled up to keep from freezing and Juanita Cooper even has to do a little “jig” as they wait for the bus to take them to a Friday night, away game. Below—Tammy and Angela steal some of the snow’s beauty for themselves, and remind us of Frosty Friday’s frolickings. Probably the most joyous day of the week at NHS (or for any school for that matter) is the last day — Friday. Everyone, students, and fac- ulty alike, were usually in extreme- ly high spirits rallied with thoughts of wild, but wintry weekends, but on one particular Friday, our emo- tions were sent soaring into the heavens. Why? A miracle occurred in Elizabeth City — It snowed! Those tiny bits of icy lace covered the earth for a few moments, but long enough to cover the decaying vegeta- tion or any ugliness with its fleecy blanket. Through its pure beauty, and its rarity, the snow lifted our hearts and souls on that one Frosty Friday. Left—Have you ever tasted a snowflake? Our panel of connoisseurs decided that snow is more fun to play in than it is to eat. Below—Watch out! That ice is slippery and hard as Mike Dickerson will soon discover. Which will break. Mike or the ice? Left—Burr it is cold outside! This chilly group runs inside as winter with his sharp teeth and icy breath is snapping at their heels. ...ON FRIDAY 19 STUDENT LIFE w Spring Revelry 3 Revives Wintry t ‘Withered-ness’ w p 5 H 02 Why do we call those warm won- derful months after winter — Spring? Because, the entire action of this season is described by just this verb “to spring.” Not only are beautiful flowers springing their heads over the fresh green blankets of newly grown grass, but human nerves are also springing loose for joy. Trying to endure the imprisonment of the winter months had become the ulti- mate test of nerves for teachers and students. It was no wonder that those first warm days pushed some sort of button that quickly unwound that tightened inner coil, and caused everyone to “spring” forward into vivid expressions of joy. No one minded the winds of March or the showers of April for the prospects of the warmth of freedom in summer protected them from any discomforts. Spring — a time for the new, but not the “blues” means warmth, freedom and happiness for you! Above—Arthur “Huckleberry” Newby begins his walk down a dusty road to the old mill pond to cool off. relax, and go “fishinV Below—You can tell it's Spring when the men in the big red trucks roll up to NHS’s front door. Spring fever often ignited “fake fires.” 20 SPRINGTIME Left—The Queenly Court’9 beauty hasn't faded through the fall and winter months. The cold didn’t wither their loveliness, for they look like fresh spring blossoms, complement- ing the earth with their presence. They will spark spring fever in any young man’s heart. Below—Who cut down the cherry tree? Ask these members of the horticulture class as they beautify the school grounds. Everyone will love the soon to be blossoming fresh new additions. Above—As Cleveland Green tugs and pulls on his kite in an exasperating attempt to free it, he realizes that a “kite-eating tree can spoil one’s windy March fun. STUDENT LIFE STUDENT LIFE What can be lovlier than a day in springtime? A likely candidate is a springtime twilight. The warmth of the nights, scented by the sweet- ness of newly awakened flowers affect every physical sense and the indescribable inner senses in human awareness. An extra special night in spring was that of the Jr.-Sr. Prom. During the few hours of the prom the atmosphere was especially warmed by the smiles of friendship and romance. The air was sweetened not only by the perfumed and be- flowered belles but also through the unified feelings of mirth and happi- ness. A high school gym transformed into a beautiful ballroom became the perfect container for the many beau- tiful people who entered, and the wonderful memories that they created. The theme of the prom “We May Never Pass This Way Again” was truly fitting because those lovely special moments of happiness on that special night in spring may never be captured again. Above—The eerie becomes realistic as Darlene Johnson and A1 Bailey dance. Right—Tommy Chappell and Sheri Com- mander leave the ethereal as they become earthly. 22 PROM NIGHT Dancing Dolls Dig Dainty Delights Above—Kirk Twiford and Daphne Winslow capture all the romance of the Prom.

Cooper-MacClease Award. The faculty Below—The atmosphere remained harmonious through the musical efforts of a former NHS student, Clif Harris. The lively music was enjoyed by all. Lower Right—Teachers cared, their brothers and sisters cared, and finally, parents cared enough to come see the fruits of all their encouragement. Unaware of what the future held in store for them, wide-eyed and wide-mouthed sophomores walked through the large front doors into the main hall of NHS, to begin per- haps the three most important years of growth in their lives. The hall was long and dimly lit, but a soft yellow light radiated out from one side of the hall, and it seemed to attract all of the sophomores, for it added warmth and friendliness to the for- bidding school. The light came from a display window, and inside the window was an arrangement of small gold medallions, plaques and certif- icates, all symbolizing rewards for various achievements. A small sign read “These can be yours.” This call for striving to reach important goals not only illuminated the hall- way, but also the long, unforeseen future of all the students who passed by. On the night of June 2, 1977 this inspiring light reached its Zenith from within a select few and shone out proudly. These few students had obtained those medals in the display case, but more important, they had achieved what they had promised themselves probably on that first day. Those recognized students had earned their awards and the pride that their parents and they them- selves felt. These treasures they could never lose or would never forget. AWARDS NIGHT 25 Above—Do you hear that big brass sound? Weil it’s Mark McDougal, Charles Pickrell and Doug Styons, as they practice during band camp. With all that practice, they will surely parade proudly down the football field during the fall. Right—Ummm that tastes good! Ronnie Rid- dick seems to be having a little bit of trouble, but a lot of fun while trying to eat a quickly melting ice cream cone. The cool, sweet treat really delights the insides on a hot summer day. Above—Laurie Owens catches a snooze and soaks in some sun in the Senior Court, because she doesn’t want to hit the beach in a few weeks all white and washed out. Look out bikini watchers! 26 SUMMER’S SENSES Above—While delighting her “smell buds” with a glorious summer-time blossom, Patsy Pierce must also remember that summer can be the “sneezin’ season with its tickling pollen-filled breezes. Below—The spectators at least won’t strike out because they are partaking in a great American summer pastime. Watching a base- ball game is especially enjoyable when the performance is a fine one by the home team. Sunny Summer Stimulates Cinq g Savory Senses w The time of adolescence in life is often compared to the season of summer. Teenage days are often warm, but not without occasional thunderstorms. In summer, as in adolescence, the human senses are alerted to respond quickly to the many titilating stimuli that they encounter. The summer fruits and vegetables lusciously tempt the taste buds. The hot summer sun penetrates the skin to enliven the inner feelings. As many teenagers, Northeasterners were also in tune to, and exposed to these various stimulants, and thus greatly enjoyed their vacation months. Summer and adolescence can be enjoyable and lively, but the most important analogy drawn be- tween the two is that both are a time for growth, and preparation for the harvest of maturity in the upcoming fall.

The ceremony is the ritual initia- tion into the universal organization called adulthood. It was a culmina- tion of twelve long, but quickly passing, years of growth and prepa- ration for the future. The graduation exercises of 1977 were, like all grad- uations, a milestone in the lives of some 300 young men and women, signifying achievement of a coveted dream, and acting as a roadsign, pointed towards the outstretching future. The Commencement was also unique, not only as compared to other exercises, but also in the hearts of each of the graduates, for it was the first to be held in the Athletic Complex. Against God’s vast and open background, the exercises be- came more universal and more inspirational, for one was continually reminded of the unlimited possibili- ties of the future, and the ever- present help that be along side in the journey into that future. The gradu- ation belonged singularly to each par- ticipant for it was the only time that he could proudly and joyfully step forward to receive his well earned prize of a high school diploma. During this one “happy hour” the seniors universally recognized that they had worked long and hard, through many falls, winters, and springs, and that now their budding dreams were be- ginning to flower. With pride, joy, some regret, but with much coura- geous anxiety, the graduates marched in the stadium, then out into the waiting world.

They had pushed, shoved and suffered the pain of joints knocked out of place, trying to tighten muscles grown flabby during the summer. When the season did finally arrive, they were ready with zeal and verve. The season opened with a “heavy” fall. Their loss to Edenton by three points was an upset. They won by 16 points in their second game with Plymouth. Throughout the year the Eagles made many costly mistakes running the new double-slot system that Coach McGee had brought with him. These mistakes cost them several victories and possibly the Con- ference Championship. Nevertheless they did have an even season, de- feating 5 of the 10 teams they opposed.

SPORTS b Season Ends o With Victory H In the Eagles fourth game, they traveled to South Boston where the new double-slot system they had adopted seemed to betray them or so it seemed as they lost to South Boston 42-22. The Eagles, however, showed great determination to win the following week as they defeated A. E. Laney 29-0. Then, the Eagles won a low-scoring game to Rocky Mount 6-0. The contest against Wilson proved to be a kicking game with Wilson outkicking the Eagles to win 7-6. The mighty Eagles seemed to be having trouble with their new offense as they were unable to break their losing streak when they lost to Bertie in their next game 16-21. The Eagles’ last game of the season matched them against Greenville. It was a hard fought contest against a tough contender. But in the end, the Eagles ended the ’76-’77 football season on a win. For it is said an Eagle is made to soar not just muddle through.

They obliterated all op- ponents with quick decisive plays from scrimmage. Leading this power- ful group of sophomores was Eric McDaniels at quarterback. Assisting ground gainers were Dudley White, Ulysses Lamb and Melvin Harris. The Eaglets started conference play on a winning note, defeating Camden 59-12. With two wins behind them they went into their third game confident of a win. Their confidence showed up early in the game and never wavered until they had handed Robertson ville a 54-18 loss.

White was a power- house in leading the Eagles ground attack. The baby Eagles’ fourth game turned out to be different from all the rest. “It was the best ball game any team from Elizabeth City has played in years,” said Northeastern’s javvee coach, Mike Herring after his powerful group of sophomores turned back a tough Rocky Mount team’s 36-20. “The best game they had ever played” proved to be too much fame and adulation for the Eaglets to re- cover from in one week’s time, for Wilson handed them their only defeat of the season, 14-26 the next weekend. The Eaglets, however, bounced right back the following week as they out- classed Northern Nash 44-18. The baby Eaglets will return as full- pledged Eagles next year. 36 J.V.

Varsity Boys Fly To Victory The varsity basketball team start- ed out with a relatively new crew. It took time, patience and a great deal of thinking before Coach Lucian Griffin resolved upon the 1976 varsity basketball squad. When he finally did make his decision, he was sure he had chosen a group of forceful and skilled young men. They won their first victory when they opposed Cox High School in Virginia. This was the first and best game of the season. This game re- quired much effort and belligerence from both teams. Although the long and suspenseful game went into triple overtime, the Eagles managed to take home an 110-106 victory over Cox. During the exciting basketball season, Dudley White, Warren Arm- strong and Michael Nixon advanced to the varsity team. Their “rawness” was overshadowed by the aggression and determination that launched them to the top. VARSITY BASKETBALL 39 SPORTS Eagles Tumble Out Of Slump As the end of the season grew near, the varsity basketball squad fell into a midseason slump. Nothing went right for the Eagles and it looked al- most hopeless for the Eagles placing in the Conference. They were defeat- ed three games in a row by Northern Nash, Rocky Mount, and Greenville. Despite these overturns the Eagles managed to regain their stride and get back on the winning streak. There were two members named All-Conference players. They were Tyrone Perry and Arthur Newbv. Even though the Eagles had many unlucky breaks during the season, they finished fourth in the confer- ence and received the district runner up trophy.

VARSITY BASKETBALL 41 SPORTS Junior Varsity Boys Gain Some Valuable Experience For Future When the 1976 basketball season opened, the junior varsity basketball team was ready with determination and eagerness. It took only nine con- secutive wins to prove to their fans they had the faith and positiveness to conquer. Their winning streak was snapped when Bertie supplied the first loss of the season. This loss after eight straight wins, jolted the ego of the team, yet it did not crush their confidence. It only made them strug- gle harder to reach their proposed goal. Even though the Eaglets started off quite strong, they did have their downfalls during the season. Besides being defeated by Bertie they also were beaten by Greenville, Wilson Fike and Rocky Mount. These teams conquered the mighty Eaglets by nar- row margins. These setbacks sub- stantiated the fact that the mighty Eaglets never gave up! Powerful and almighty center Ricky Snowden provided the team with great rebounding and scoring ability. He, along with Eric Mc- Daniels, Michael Everette, Rob Brown, and Torrie Reid, helped fur- nish the backbone for the team and “battled the boards” to a successful season.

It was difficult for the lady Eagles to get started, but in the end they came out on top. With only two players returning to the starting line-up, they forged together a strong and eager team. Their first three non-conference games were upsets, yet defeat did not deflate their confidence and en- thusiasm. When the fourth game arrived they were ready; with their enthusiasm still at a peak they claimed a 52-49 victory over Gates. This victory started the lady Eagles on a winning streak. Together they battled to second place in the con- ference and received district runner- up trophy.

Knowing they had a powerful team in their middle weight classes, they began working with their smaller wrestlers. By the time the first conference match arrived the Eagles were ready. They defeated Northern Nash by a score of 33-32. The Eagles then moved on by defeating every team in the con- ference except Greenville Rose.

There were three outstanding players on this year’s squad who made the con- ference championship and either broke or tied the school’s record. Freddie Carter ran the 880 yard run in two minutes flat to shatter the old record of 2:02. Verlin Williams ran the 100 yard dash in 9.5 to tie Delbert Powell’s record of last year. Mike Meads literally threw the shot-put out of orbit to demolish the old record by a good 5 feet. Only one of these 3 starters will be returning next year.

Luck Frowns On Lady Eagles Even though the girls’ track team lost the majority of their games, they gained the valuable experience of working as a team and of “giving their all” for the team’s sake. This experience along with talent will be one of the things the Lady Eagles will need to construct a winning season next year. Losing did not sour the Lady Eagles’ spirit, but, in fact, showed them that practice is what it takes to produce a winning team and that they just could not trust to luck to win. The Lady Eagles did, however, produce a few winning combinations such as the 440 relay squad, the discus, shot-put and the hundred yard dash. These became the specialties of the Lady Eagles.

In the Division I, 4-A Conference meet, Eagles finished in 2nd place.

BOYS’ TENNIS 53 Under the coaching of Mrs. Lor- raine Payne the girls’ tennis team started a quickfired winning streak but this winning streak didn’t last long. It sputtered for a while; then, it finally stalled out. This team of young, inexperienced players showed the patience and ability to endure hardships which are major ingredi- ents of a veteran, winning team, and with a little practice that is what the harvest of next year’s crop will be. This young squad had only a few returning, experienced starters from last year’s team, and this made it dif- ficult for the new-comers to adhere to their sometimes hard, long practice hours. Though they did not produce a winning season this year, they gained valuable experience that will help them next year.

Eagle Sluggers Struggle Thru Tough Season Despite all the glamour that sur- rounds the sport of baseball, there are some losing sides to the story. The Varsity Baseball Team finished a very disappointing season. The team’s schedule was a tough one, as their record showed. Even though the team had an unsuccessful season, the members gained valuable experi- ence that should help them over- come next year’s dilemmas. It was inspiring to see the seniors put forth the needed extra effort in some very tight games in order to pull the Eagles through. A losing sea- son did not lead to frustration, but from every lost game, the team gain- ed knowledge and became a closer- knit group who solved their problems from the experienced gained from previous games.

So it was, at least partially, for the leaders of the student body in the Student Congress. These people, a- long with sponsors Mrs. Miriam Alexander, Mrs. Cecilia Austin, and John Barnes, often noted that the common fate of leaders is to be some- times thwarted by the errors of the people led. That the Student Congress accom- plished its task cannot, however, be denied. For the first time at North- eastern, senior privileges of early dismissal for lunch and a senior court were obtained legally, through the proper channels of student gov- ernment rather than as a result of an unseemly demonstration. The Congress obtained the privileges, and, like true leaders, did not shirk their duties of demanding the coop- eration of the student body; for when the students proved themselves un- worthy, the student government had no compunction about rescinding the same things they had obtained. This show of true leadership will perhaps be long remembered in their favor. On the optimistic side, the Con- gress brought off their plans for an en- thusiastic Homecoming Week with- out any difficulty. Pep Rallies and assemblies organized by them pro- ceeded without serious incident, and all the plans were original and instru- mental in sparking student interest. Although some of their advances were destroyed bv apathy and disre- gard in the student body, the Student Congress did not spend a year in ses- sion to no purpose. The active part taken in school leadership, as well as the more lasting results of their attempts, will remain as examples of a Student Congress that was truly instrumental in the business of school leadership.

ORGANIZATIONS Bookworms Show Skills Through Culinary Arts In addition to upholding high ideals, what organization has done more to double the business of “Weight Watchers” — the National Honor Society. The members of this group have solicited everything from “gooey” candied apples to mouth- watering homemade delights in order to continue the trend of financial service. Not to be labeled as a “club of the mind,” the Honor Society sponsored a volleyball tournament which re- quired all the physical stamina that its participants could muster. Anoth- er project was the induction of the new members where seniors issued a few “words of wisdom.” A third was a graduation retreat to King’s Domin- ion where seniors were free to release “twelve years of tension!” The Honor Society members proved that they were more than just “bookworms,” but students who en- joyed getting involved. Their goals reflected their idea of service to the student, the school, and the com- munity.

One of the few such groups was the Key Club, the creed and activities of which clearly defined it as a purely service club, whose business was to aid sister groups in the community. The Key Club operated in con- junction both with the Kiwanis Club and sponsor James Williams. Since the Kiwanis Club is the parent of the Key Club, three members attend- ed the weekly Kiwanis dinner in order to learn and offer the services of their group. Eleven members also attended a conference in W'illiamston. Besides such learning experiences, members contributed on their own to the ideals of service. Money, raised via a popcorn sale, was channelled into the aid of other organizations, and the members offered their help in the Kiwanis Fish Fry. As a final act, they devoted their driving ex- pertise to the spectators of foot- ball games, parking cars for persons unwilling to brave the perils of the Northeastern parking lot. To add to these practical items, the group at- tended church once a month en masse. Whether maneuvering vehicles in the precarious safety of the lot or fill- ing church pews which might have otherwise been empty, the Key Club fulfilled its expectations of being an organization happily engrossed in the business of service, both at school and in the community.

ORGANIZATIONS ORGANIZATIONS Most Wanted Legs In Town Some of the best and most punish- ed legs on campus belonged to the Varsity Cheerleaders. These limbs that routinely spent the summer on the beach also endured the rigors of practice and, later in the football season, the assaults of bitter cold. Windbum. chapped knees, sore throats, muscular aches — all this was suffered to bolster the spirit of less boisterous, and more comfort- able, students in the stands. The foot-stomping and shouting, matched the spirit-rousing capaci- ties of the cheerleaders. However, this enthusiasm flagged somewhat, not because of muscular agonies, but from the furor that arose around several squad members who left the group at the end of football season. This, and the subsequent rumors that abounded in school halls concerning the reasons behind it, left the cheer- leaders in a state of disorder for a while. Only for a short period, however, was the rhythm of the cheering chants thrown out of kilter. Later under the tutelage of a new head, the group capered off into basketball season, driven by their traditional duty — that of wresting one more ounce of school spirit from the often listless occupants of the bleachers. Above—The Eagles should really score with this bonny bunch of lassies cheering them on to victory. Kneeling—Laurie Rodgers, Jean Jones, Tammy Cox, Loretta Jolly.

J.V.’s Learn From Mentors It is often the unfortunate fate of the Junior Varsity cheerleaders to be lost in the shuffle; outmatched by the Varsity girls, they have in the past found their “pep-up” talents to be little appreciated. This was not the case during this round of athletic meets, however. From the small, often inept group which faithfully met on practice days, the J.V.’s be- came a band of spirited females with quite as much blasting power as their older counterpart, the Varsity cheerleaders. This is not to say that they did not have help. Several of the Varsity cheerleaders became their mentors, demonstrating how each stomp of a foot must be done just so, how each cheer must be enunciated properly, and how each leap in the air must be at the correct height. From there, however, the J.V.’s “took the ball and ran with it.” They refused to be overshadowed by the older group, thus starting a tradition of excellence in another facet of school spirit.� 70 J.V.

The staff of the Eagle’s Eye took all that, added some jour- nalism prowress and a bit of advice from adviser Vivian Armstrong, pressed it all together, squeezed out its essence, and produced a number of papers, all brimming with quips, quotes, facts, and photos. Perhaps it should be explained that the two main fund-raising ac- tivities of the club were a candle sale and the unspeakable drudgery of cleaning up the football stadium after games. It will doubtlessly be appreciated that the Eagle’s Eye staff members greeted Saturday mornings (clean-up) with no great gusto. How- ever, they hauled themselves out to the field faithfully for the glorious delight of sweeping sludge and pick- ing up miscellaneous debris, in the interests of the written word. Officers of the staff attended a meeting of the National Scholastic Press Association in June where they learned just about everything about printing papers except for the depths to which one has to stoop in order to finance them. That particular facet of the subject they learned exhaust- ively later on, and the flotsam and jetsam of post-football game insanity. Above—Rom on a Williams. Diane Rountree.

EAGLE’S EYE 73 ORGANIZATIONS There are many useful occupations in the world, and most of them can be said to have some good affect upon humanity. The Health Careers Club has been noted for the introduction of its members to the admirable qualities of a profession devoted to saving lives. The idea of service was never far from the minds of the members and their sponsor, Mrs. Dorothy Baxley. Not content with simply training for a career in health, they actually put their abilities to work. Several students attended a Diabetic Workshop held in October, and two students served on the American Cancer Society board to represent youth — this a first for the club. They were active in candystriping, collecting for White Cane Drives (a total of two thousand dollars was raised), participating in a Muscular Dystrophy Telethon, entering a booth in the Six-County Fair — (it placed 1st) helping at bloodmobiles and assisting nurses with various jobs. Three members attended the Health Occupations Students of America Convention, held in Arling- ton, Texas in November.

HEALTH CAREERS 75 French Lightens Burdens, Efforts There is very little active business to be indulged in by a group such as the French Club, unless they become an underground revolutionary group with connections in Europe. They could not build, like VIC A, or cheer like the cheerleaders, or train for a medical career, like the Health Ca- reers people. What, then, could they do? They and their sponsor, Mrs. Ruth Cooper, could sit around and meditate upon the joys of French, both linguistically and culturally. The club was a sort of extension of French class, with the vital difference that there the speaking of French with all its nuisance was voluntary. Being voluntary, it was almost fun, and the rolled r’s that usually figure as the love of the French student became an object of interest. At any rate, the existence of the club who did not feel compelled to move mountains, content to enjoy whatever it was they enjoyed about French, considerably lightened the atmo- sphere from its burden of good causes and serious efforts.

However, there were some members of the student body who took delight in studying Spanish culture, along with the language, and these stu- dents met under Mrs. Mary Brown to form the Spanish Club. Besides sitting around and speak- ing Spanish, the club engaged in several projects. One of these was the construction of a float for the Christmas Parade. Another activity was a bake sale. True to their usual Yuletide schemes, the Spanish Club spent time coming up with Christmas cards — in Spanish — for the teachers. Despite the fact that some of the less cosmopoliton teachers could not read the messages ascribed to the cards and had to inquire as to the transla- tion, the gesture was generally ap- preciated by the faculty. To end the year, a spring banquet was planned. This dinner ushered out the senior members, included Spanish cuisine, and featured enter- tainment in the style of Spain. Mrs. Barbara Riccardo, former sponsor of the club, spoke to the group about the foreign language pro- gram at College of the Albemarle. Thus some old members, continuing their education at the college, may have found themselves back under the wing of the former Spanish expert. Although the Spanish Club does not specifically train members for a career, nor indeed make any attempt to motivate them in that direction, it remained one of the truly in- structive clubs on campus. At any rate, it allowed the student who gloried in syntax and foreign verbi— to assauge his passion for the lan- guage while contributing to the com- munity.

Library Club Herded Through Projects, Trips If it were possible to acquire an education through osmosis, members of the Library Club would surely have been among the more learned stu- dents on campus. Certainly they spent a good part of their charges for their year of membership. It is doubtful, however, that they were ever under any illusions as to whether one could acquire by absorption knowledge that one could not bring oneself to get via study. In any case the group kept busy. Sponsor Margaret Bright herded her charges through a volley of proj- ects, including a candle and station- ery sale. The proceeds went to buy, not surprisingly, a book which has already taken its place in the rank and file of the school library’s shelves. However, all activities were not confined to this inner sanctum of learning, library. The group, with a record membership, attended a dis- trict synod of all the “priests and acolytes of the archives”, the North Carolina High School Library Associ- ation. No doubt, they contributed their own suggestions as to how to solve the banes of the serious li- brarian, such as book-manlers, gum- stickers and librarian-harriers. In any case, the frenetic activity of the organization prevented anyone from accusing them of merely sitting dormant in the library and waiting for an education to somehow trans- mute itself into their minds.

LIBRARY 81 ORGANIZATIONS This year was another in the string of superior bands at Northeastern. All the traditional band activities were engaged in — football games, parades, fish fries, basketball games, and the concert. These functions were often marked bv praise from onlook- ers. The football season was punc- tuated with three Callaway bows, one of which took place at the Oyster Bowl in October. Even the basket- ball games were enlivened by the presence of a boisterous Pep Band. Other than these traditional activities, many things went on that added to the year. During “Music in Our Schools Week”, small en- sembles — Pep Band, Woodwind Quintet, Brass Sextet, and similar groups — performed in nearby ele- mentary schools. As the aftermath of these appearances, a great many letters, childishly scrawled and complete with Crayola represen- tations of the musicians, came from the younger students. The final performance came on May 6, Spring Concert day. Such pieces as “Marriage of Figaro”, “Scenes from ‘The Louvre’,” and “Bolero” were played, and the con- cert was appraised by some as “the best yet”. In all, from fish fries to ball games and the Christmas Party, from the Wright Memorial to the Spring Con- cert, it proved to be a good year for the band. It was, in anyone’s estima- tion, a year that remained in the tradition of the Northeastern High School, with a few added touches of individuality that made the ex- perience memorable for the partic- ipants.

Those causes, whether medical, astronomic- al or simply scientific in nature, were discussed, mulled over, demonstrat- ed, and otherwise nurtured by an as- semblage of students who met monthly under the supervision of Mrs. Brent Barwick. The interests of the organization were straightforward enough: simply to cultivate scientific interest by hearing various learned speakers who bombarded the group with topics which would, perhaps, have been in- comprehensible to less scientifically inclined young scholars. Dr. Jerry Pickrel, for example, expounded to the club on the subject of parasitolo- gy, a choice which might be some- what difficult for the student of a less scientific bent. Aside from stimulating interest locally, the Science Club sent its worthiest warriors in the cause of science to programs such as the Saint Andrew Olympiad and Governor’s School. The Science Club while boasting no great service and no financial acumen in the manner of many school groups, nevertheless served its purpose well. SCIENCE 85 ORGANIZATIONS Budding Artists Witness Change Developing art techniques became the occupation of the Art Club and sponsor Mrs. Mary Ann Breiner, in creating objets d’art both for the school and the community. The group exhibited a float in the Elizabeth City Christmas Parade, which bore witness to long hours of designing and nailing by the mem- bers, as well as a Christmas Craft display. The budding artists did their bit toward school improvement by fashioning macrame hanging baskets for plants, which were hung in the cafeteria, considerably alleviating the boredom of white walls. They also un- dertook to paint ash cans for the smoking area, where, if they were not used, they were certainly admired. A donut sale raised money for the club, part of which went as a dona- tion to the American Cancer Society. Although the Art Club, not attend- ing district synods, large rallies, or widespread competitions was one of the less conspicuous clubs on cam- pus, the presence of the artistic ele- ment was enjoyable. It was hoped, by the end of the year, that some of the artists’ talent would wash over into next year, as part of the glori- fication process always needed by the school. Left—Michelangelo and Rembrandt? Not quite! These two artists are Winfred Foster and Mark Wyatt.

Bonnie Boyce and Vice-Pres. Kelly Caffrey display the benefits of being in- volved in a club. Of the numerous clubs that have sprouted at Northeastern, the Girls’ Tennis Club was, without doubt, the most uncomplicated. There were no elaborate talks made on parliamen- tary procedure. There were no dis- trict conventions. There were only girls, some tennis equipment, and a game. This mania for smacking tennis balls did not prevent the members, however, from putting together a Christmas float. This was not, of course, the primary aim of the rac- quet wielders. Their true passion was for tennis itself, and to gratify that passion they turned up, regularly, for their customary hour of hitting that ball.

Religion generally keeps its dis- tance from school campuses, not be- cause high schoolers are fundamen- tally bad people but because it does not seem to mix well with the daily pressures of academic life. How- ever, Mrs. Geraldine Sutton and the Senior Tri-Hi-Y showed themselves not averse to mingling a bit of Christian idealism with secular so- ciety. The club, which was formed by the YMCA, held a Thanksgiving Ham Raffle to provide funds for future ac- tivities. But these subsequent actions did not take the form of conventions or competitions; rather, all the money was channelled into service. Among the services of the Tri- Hi-Y was a food drive to provide a complete Thanksgiving Dinner for a needy family in the community. Stores of foodstuffs were collected by the members and delivered to a grate- ful group of people, demonstrating the second ideal of the group; Christian life. Also for Thanksgiving, the mem- bers visited Winslow Memorial Home. It was their hope to enliven the holiday on Thanksgiving Eve for the elderly there, a concern which again indicates their interest in the community. Throughout the year, the organiza- tion attempted to incorporate in- tegrity, spirituality, and understand- ing into living, and so contributed to the safety of these endangered species in society. Their particular contribution toward a better school was appreciated quite as much as those of other groups, whose actions, while perhaps more concrete, were nonetheless no more thoughtful. i 90 SENIOR TRI-HI-Y Above—Officers pose for pictures in Senior Court.

VICA Receives Gratitude From City Homeowners Until a need for it arose, the con- struction wing of the Vocational In- dustrial Clubs of America possessed a talent not appreciated fully by other members of the school system. The members could, quite simply, nail two boards together — correctly. That they did it correctly was insured by Carl Osmon, sponsor; but even without his close supervision, the construction crew proved their ability in a variety of projects. As a start, the budding carpenters dismantled old bleachers at Memori- al Field, no longer needed since the construction of the Athletic Complex. If nothing else, this feat was a tri- bute to their skill; a certain amount of expertise was assuredly necessary in order to prevent the old bleachers, many of them rotten, from collapsing all over overenthusiastic hammer- wielders. Even the more nostalgic members of the community were grateful to the VICA construction group for the removal of the eyesore constituted by peeling paint and sagging timbers. Besides engaging in work for home- owners in Elizabeth City, the club did construction work for two churches. The work included the fabrication of hymnal holders and the installation of the same in the Mt. Lebanon A.M.E. Zion Church of Culpepper Street, where the carpenters spent a great deal of time before completion of the job. Although there were scoffers, the ability of the VICA construction team cannot be doubted. In a day of specialization, the knack of getting two pieces of wood to stick together right away was every bit as note- worthy as the ability to puzzle out a trigonometry problem, and the pos- sessors of this singular skill felt no lack of talent.

Along with their regular classroom activities, which included the designing of drafts for the stor- age building and concession stands in the Athletic Complex, the club mem- bers constructed from alpha to mega several trailers for people in the community. Because of their unself- ish desire to help others, there was “no charge” for their fastidious, demanding labor. After continuous drafting practice, the club participated in District and State Competition. Eddie Meekins received 3rd place on the District Level of the Vica Olympics in Mechanical Drafting. At the State Competition Tony King and Kelly Lacy excelled in welding, Jim Shorkey in machine work. Their greatest reward, however, was the appreciation felt, by the school and the community.

Wright, could be found to reside not in traditional academic pursuits, but in the vari- colored entrails of various and sundry engines. They delved into the intric- acies of masses of wiring and moving parts that were much beyond the ken of more academic students. All this to pursue their particular brand of a “good time.” Aside from thoroughly and. hope- fully, correctly assembling mechani- cal gadgets great and small, the Power Mechanics group staged sev- eral fund-raising projects. One of these was a car bash, allowing the more frustrated among the students to release hostilities harmlessly. A battery collection and sale, and a scrounge for old aluminum, also add- ed to the club’s funds. A cookout was planned, as well as a volleyball tournament. The money raised by the club went to buy jackets for the officers. More than all else on their agenda, however, the members enjoyed their engines. This was fortunate enough, since many of the other students on campus were incapable of accom- plishing the feats required by methodical work in the complexities of machinery.

This, at least, was apparently the opinion of members of the Distribu- tive Education Club of America, who chose to develop their talents in an atmosphere of work rather than the more conventional areas of aca- demics. Sponsored by E.J. Nunes, club members directed themselves in the very practical area of money making. Jobs at fast-food establishments, drug stores, and practically every other sort of business were secured by the young men and women. There was more to this than the simple, and very practical, desire to perform labor for pay. Also in- cluded in the goals of DECA mem- bers was an intent to foster good working habits — presumably helpful in future jobs — and a certain amount of self-discipline. To demonstrate their prowess in the various facets of getting and keeping an occupation, DECA at- tended district meetings and con- tests, including the Miss DECA con- test — or, at least, one female did. First and foremost, however, came the job and all the implications — some of them rather awful — of hold- ing it. The distinction between child- hood, and going to school, and adulthood, and working, was some- what acute and certainly appreciated by the members, most of whom gave their employers no reason to com- plain. In any case, DECA served a need in the school, that of teaching students how to work, and their contribution toward this will no doubt be con- doned by future employers of form- er members.

HERO Performs Acts of Service Amid a whirl of female emancipa- tion. in which women were encourag- ed nay admonished, to occupy some technical occupation, one group dared to claim precedence for a more traditional idea of women. Although Mrs. D.S. Hawkins and Mrs. L.B. White advocated no return to the days of feminine subservience, they and the club they led. Home Eco- nomics and Related Occupations, found considerable worth in the picture of women as compassionate creatures of service. Much of this compassion was di- rected at the elderly. Members com- piled salt-free recipes for these older citizens, and served in the Life Ser- vices Center. A special party was held for the elderly as well. To pro- vide for the opposite side of the age spectrum, the club assembled Hall- oween costumes for Pasquotank County youngsters. Along with these activities, the group attended a District Rally and observed national HERO week in April, intending to emphasize and publicize the HERO program in the school. Whatever else they might have done, HERO members showed them- selves capable of originality in thought. While others of their sex paraded for various principles of equality, these students discarded the theoretical and favored instead the execution of much needed, much appreciated, acts of humanity.

To under- stand and master the business world has priority for the members and sponsor, Mrs. Patrica Butler. No easy task was it even for those students with a monetary bent to lay hands on the illusive spector of what, exactly, business is. In the interest of setting up mu- tual cooperation between the College of the Albemarle F.B.L.A. and the Northeastern High F.B.L.A. Chap- ters, Clarence Godfrey spoke to the two groups. They agreed to aid each others’ fund-raising projects. Knowing full well that business must have money to function, the club held a bake sale and a turkey raffle, among other projects. Although the members may not have been expert in their art by the close of the school year, it can be as- sumed that they ended with a better, if not perfect, understanding of the business trade. FUTURE BUSINESS LEADERS OF AMERICA 105 Future Farmers Of America Help Reflect Pleasure Of A Rural Life Below—If this plant is given the proper care, like that offered by Mr. Oliver, FFA advisor, it will grow, blossom, and bear beneficial fruits. To develop school citizenship . . . to promote interest in varied pro- fessions ... to be of service — these ideals, though worthy, were rather common place among Northeastern clubs. Scarcely an organization existed which did not embody such goals in their plans. One club, the Future Farmers of America, consid- erably expanded on the theme of ideals, writing a creed into their con- stitution whose goals spanned a wide area from better manure use to the frosting of patriotism. Perhaps the main concern of M. H. Oliver and his agriculturalists lay not in better farming methods, but in sparking and preserving a true enjoyment of nature and country life itself. The same spirit which led Thoreau to Walden propelled the members into a desire to understand, love, and perhaps improve the plea- sure — not excluding hard work — of a rural life. The activities of the group includ- ed an orange sale, in which the fruits of certain farmers’ labors were ob- viously promoted. A Green Hand Day. which spotlighted the exponents of country living incongruously slicked up in ties and shirts, was sponsored in the fall. Competitions, in forestry and other branches of agriculture, also figured very highly in yearly plans. Even if the club had done nothing at all except sit on the grass and meditate upon their ideals, the con- tribution of the FFA to developing a healthier mankind via the good earth must be rated as commendable. Nowhere else was such a broad spec- trum of high goals seen. It was fortu- nate for the campus to be possessed of such a group to preserve the causes of agricultural awareness in the nation itself. Right—Is this a line up before a firing squad? Hopefully not. because this is the one and only slate of officers for the FFA. Barry Oliver, Pres.; Dale Meads, V. Pres.; Sybil Hall.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA 107 £ Family Life, Civic 2 Involvement, Top FHA Objectives Expertly supervised by Mrs. R. Griffin, the Future Homemakers of America occupied themselves with projects intended to emphasize fami- ly life and provide interesting ac- tivities for the student body. One such project was a pre-Val- entine’s Day Dance. This affair was one of many such dances held as fund-raising projects. Melodie Sut- ton. a club member, led the others in planning and executing the details of the dance, which was exceedingly well attended bv the student body. The club took it upon themselves to concoct a Thanksgiving Food Bas- ket for a needy family in the com- munity. This was spearheaded by Sheryl Perry, with all members con- tributing to the hope of a satis- facotry Thanksgiving dinner for the family who received the basket. Between March 27 and April 12, the FHA celebrated National Future Homemakers of America Week. Plans for the week included civic projects, public announcements concerning FHA, and other activities designed to make the public aware of the ideas and accomplishments of the FHA. Cindy Hopkins led the group in pre- paring for this week full of projects. The year began and ended as an interesting study of what a large group of females devoted to family life could do when stimulated. It could be inferred by the year’s end that the members would make very busy homemakers indeed. Right—Bottom row—Ramona Williams, Cindi Hopkins, Dorothy Sawyer.

FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA 109 Not many campus organizations had the distinction of performing helpful acts for no profit. ECOS, how- ever, did manage to fill such an al- truistic capacity. As the name im- plies, one of the duties of the club was to battle the disruption of the ecological balance, principally as it appeared on the lawn and in the shrubbery at Northeastern. To the end, Mrs. Constance Combs packed her charges off on clean-up details regularly, waging war against soggilv rancid cigarette butts, multi- various candy wrappers, and other such desecrations. The fruits of this labor were consigned to their rightful containers — the trash cans which, strangely, became invisible to some students. The ultimate in beautifica- tion came when club members knelt in the mud to plant tulip bulbs, hoping that these would sprout to provide decoration in front of the school. Even such selfless actions as these, however, did not prevent ECOS members from trying to produce a green not found in grass. A bake sale was held to obtain funds. Fish fries and dances were also planned. Despite the curious habit of the average student to regard the world itself as a rubbish bin, ECOS mem- bers did not fight a losing battle. In any event, the tulips they plant- ed will remain as a testimonial to the good works performed by the club throughout the year. ECOS Club Struggles In A Winning Battle Below—Chuck Cullens, Andy Boada, Brad Johnson. Jeff Keeter, and Carl Overman did what they like best.

All of these act- ors and actresses had a Dramatics course prior to joining. Their expertise brought about by the training period did not lie fal- low in the club. A Trick-or-Treat Show was held in Sheep Auditorium for Halloween. In terms of service projects, the NHS Playhouse performed at Wins- low Memorial Home. The club dis- played their prowess at local ele- mentary schools, including Central. The willingness of local groups to have NHS Playhouse perform in- dicated that this skill must not have been restricted to one member, but to all the actors and actresses of the club.

Nature Trail, Outdoor Class The inception of the “N.H.S. Nature Trail” was the result of a trip by Mrs. Constance Combs’ Ecology Classes I and II to the Parks and Recreation Department’s ‘‘Na- ture Trail at Knobbs Creek”. The class’s feeling was, “We can do that!” The project was explored, permis- sion for use of the land was obtained from the Board of Education, and Ecology Class II was organized as a temporary expedition with construc- tion of the trail as their project. The hard, physical labor was a class assignment. The students themselves obtained the tools and used them. Interest remained high among the twenty-six members of the class. Innovations and generation of new ideas became an everyday thing. Aside from being a physical asset to the school system, and a nature experience for students, the trail will be an excellent teaching instrument for all science devotees.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, the aides attended labs in the class- room. On these days they learned theory. The aides worked with children in kindergarten and the first grade, switching every three weeks to anew class. As a special treat, the aides pre- sented a Christmas program.

Students viewed the fabulous works of art at the Freer Gallery, the Hirshorn Gallery and the National Gallery of Art and toured the Aerospace Center. At the Nation- al Gallery they marvelled at the trea- sures from the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. At the Hirshorn the Modern Art display fascinated them.

Two hours a day were spent with the students march- ing up and down the trails, counting and sweating as they learned the rud- iments of marching or in-place move- ments. The sophomores were taught by eight officers, who spent a great deal of time either screaming or groaning with annoyance because of certain students’ lack of co-ordina- tion and cooperation.

In cooperation with different businesses in the area, girls of the C.O.E. Program worked in offices and gained on- the-job experience. The girls worked together in the classroom to learn how to operate different machines and to develop skills necessary for their future in the business world. A few of the area businessmen were reluctant to hire high school girls, but when the girls were given a chance they proved their eagerness to learn, to work hard, and to demon- strate their skills. Besides working for several differ- ent area businesses, the girls helped the Active Women’s Club with their fund-raising drive to aid the King’s Daughters Childrens’ Hospital. Also, the C.O.E. class held a fashion workshop for interested students in the Business Department. This ex- perience showed that the business and educational worlds can cooperate to benefit both parties.

The students acted as aides to the nursing staff, the maintenance staff and to the residents, themselves. In so doing, these young ladies became the recipients of something far greater than the services they so willingly rendered, i.e., the satisfaction of having helped someone who was ill, aged, infirm or lonely. They changed bed linen; strolled with ambulatory Below—Sharon Riddick, Charlotte Etheridge, Sherry Daverio, Catherine Brockett, Mary patients on the grounds; rolled patients unable to walk in wheel- chairs out on the patio; read to those with failing eyesight; simply talked with those who needed the comfort and companionship of conversation; listened to those who merely wanted a “willing ear”; wrote letters and cards.

ACADEMICS The Extended Classroom CO I u I M - _ CO CO Hu OH V £ H ‘Green Thumbs’ Not Hereditary Mr. Maurice Oliver’s Horticulture Class attracted those students who liked to cultivate the soil and who liked to watch plants grow from seedlings to maturity because of the “tender loving care” given to them. Class projects included the growing of poinsettias for Christmas gifts, of greenery for hanging baskets that beautified the cafeteria and of tomato plants and shrubbery for sale to the public. In fact, this small class, in April, transplanted over 5,000 tomato plants which they later sold to the public! The Swedish, Ivy and Spider Plants in hanging baskets which were not donated to the cafeteria, were also sold. But, the poinsettias were given to friends. Not all of the students had “green thumbs” at the beginning of the class, but most had acquired them before they received credit for the course. And, was the reason why many had enrolled.

ACADEMICS The Extended Classroom ACADEMICS The Extended Classroom ‘Bard Of Avon’ Brews Festivity During Shakespeare’s birth and death month (April), six representa- tives from Northeastern High School attended an Elizabethean Festival in Manteo. The students were members of Mrs. Wilma Flood’s Chaucer- Shakespeare-Milton classes. Upon arriving, the participants proceeded to a general morning meeting at Manteo High School where they were separated into groups, welcomed, introduced to the module professors and given an ex- planation of the events of the day. They received a surprise visit from the celebrated Andy Griffin who ren- dered a few “words of wisdom” to the audience. Afterwards, each par- ticipant was directed to his two module sessions and served lunch. The module dealth with the subjects of Elizabethean theatre, music, dance, and history 1 iterature. Later that afternoon the partici- pants were serenaded by minstrels in the attire of the period as they strolled through the Elizabethean Gardens. Upon arriving at the ban- quet area, they were served a seven course feast while being entertained by singing, dancing, joking by jesters, and the dramatization of scenes from Shakespeare’s “Taming of the Shrew”, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, “Hamlet”, and “The Tempest”.

Were they the diligent teachers? the notorious stu- dents? the perservering staff mem- bers? the industrious members of the school board? Yes, they were an embodiment of all four groups. Some- how they all appeared the same on the outside; yet. they radiated a sen- sation that developed deep from within. This feeling was a genuine respect for the school that caused people from neighboring counties, as well as those from other states to notice. Not only were the many persons who worked, played, and studied at this school considered Northeast - emers but others in the community — especially the advertisers to the school publications. In addition to the much needed financial support, their faithful participation demon- strated the general public’s solid approval of the wide variety of “hap- penings” at the school. Actually, every Pasquotankian had been con- sidered a Northeasterner at one time or another, but it had taken a select group of people — the 1976-1977 ad- ministrative personnel, teachers, students, and school board members — to qualify as members of the “new” familv at N.H.S.

U) w CO S8 u Seniors, Different People A senior was defined as a person with higher standing or rank in the year preceding graduation from a school of secondary level. Obviously, the second definition fitted the senior class and the first one did also if it is con- sidered that a student of twelve years is of a higher rank than a student of eleven years or less. However, they did not think that those two definitions fully defined a senior. A senior did so many different things and had thoughts and feelings unlike any other students. Seniors made up another group of people in the school. Most people would never be a high school senior more than once. It was one of those things that they would remember, from history tests, to the enacting of a play, to the prom. All these and many more would stand out in a senior’s mind. The senior year was a time when the road forked, but not in just two directions. Some were good and some were bad depending on the person who chose to take one over another. Their senior year was their last time to play as children, before the world forced them to act like grown- ups. It was, also, a time of work for preparing to go out into the world to make it or let it make them. No matter who they chose to be, a senior would always remember, whether with happiness or sadness, the time when their decision was made.

College— the word that brought up a multitude of feelings—induced fear of the unknown and change, excitement over being away from home, and sadness over leaving friends and family. Students inched from table to table to talk to col- lege representatives and drifted out with catalogs and applications. Their heads swam with hopes that their choice would be the right one.

Seniors Explore Colleges After having heard about different colleges through college night, the seniors decided which ones they would be interested in investigating. They wrote the colleges asking for further information. From the information provided, the seniors narrowed down their choices to two or three colleges. Comparing views expressed by others, the seniors came to their own conclusions about them. Times were so arranged that the seniors could visit the campus of their choice. Seeing the college and “getting the feel of it” played a major role in the decisions. It was just a matter of deciding upon one college.

Seniors Gain Privileges Without the Student Congress there would have been no senior privileges. Mr. Herndon, the principal, believed in letting everything proceed to him by way of the Senate. The seniors were able to channel through a few ideas of what they thought would be nice, including a senior court where the seniors could go and talk, getting out 3 to 5 minutes early for lunch, and having three days off at the end of school. For the first time all of it passed and the seniors were granted these privileges. However, the seniors were expected to help keep the cafeteria clean or lose their privileges. The most important and the special privilege was the senior court. Seniors could get out of study hall and go there and sit and talk. They were not restricted and the seniors made use of their freedom and had a good time.

O r1 Seniors Miss Privileges co Seniors soon found out that privileges were not perma- nent. They could be taken away as easily as they could be GC given. Before the first semester had ended, the Congress had decided to take them away, because the school was not being kept clean. Congress withdrew the privileges of the senior court, going to lunch early, and smoking before school. Although the restrictions were supposed to be punishment for the whole school, the seniors took the brunt of it. They lost three privileges. They could be reinstated at the beginning of the second semester if the cafeteria was kept clean. The Congress helped by charging an extra nickel for lunch which was returned to the students when they turned their tray in after lunch. Conditions improved and the privileges were restored. The seniors also retained the three days of vacation at the end of school. Cathy Annette Evans Route 3. Box 456 A.C. 12; F.B.L.A. 12; T.H.Y. 12; Sof. 10, 11; Y.S. 11, 12.

Seniors Win Spirit Stick Something was different at Northeasem during the Friday before homecoming week. The teachers were there, but where were the students? Actually, they were clus- tered in three small groups. During a teacher workday, these few, brave students dragged themselves back to school to make hall decorations and isolated themselves into little “cliques” so that the other classes would not steal their ideas. The seniors congregated in the homeroom of their ad- visor, Mrs. C. Austin. The Congress had previously se- lected Daphne Winslow and Dottie Thomas to be co- chairpersons. The seniors struggled to find the theme. Finally, the light dawned on “77 Sunset Strip,” because they would graduate in the year of 1977. When decorations were put up, the English hall was turned into a street in the 60’s. Beatniks, chains, and motorcycle gangs dominated the scene. Of course, “Super Eagle” and his telephone booth could not be left out. The windows on the hall had one of the biggest sunset scenes imaginable. Not to leave anything out, the teachers’ doors had signs on them indicating the “places of business.” All of the work done by the seniors was not wasted, because they received the glorious spirit stick during the homecoming assembly. This was their triumph over the junior and sophomore halls. In fact, they had received this stick two out of three years.

The candidates were subjected to a rigorous selection process which began with homeroom nominations and an eventual elimination process which determined the top ten semifinalists. The voting by their peers resulted in a tense-filled deadlock victory between two contestants. The drawing of a tiny piece of paper determined the “fate” of the two participants. Miss Lamb earned the title by “natural selection.” Listening to music, reading, playing tennis and soft- ball, cooking, and love of being with people were the reported qualities that influenced her peers’ decision. Sources reported Miss Lamb as being extremely happy over her new title. (This was the first in a two-part mini-series on Northeastern’s Queens.) Renee Dee Hobbs 1110 Road Street Ba. 9, 11, 12.

Miss Daphne Ann Winslow was the recipient of the title. Up to the “moment of truth” the assembly was relatively low-keyed and orderly. An instant after the winners were revealed, sporatic fits of hysteria were heard blasting from the crowd—including one from the new Miss Senior herself. During that time, faculty members guarded themselves with nearby books and purses against their frantically bobbing students. Sources report that Miss Winslow’s love of sports, such as sailing and swimming, and her idea of having a good time exemplified her as the typical NHS senior. In her role as Miss Senior, Miss Winslow joined Miss NHS in representing Northeastern High School. (This was the second in a two-part mini-series on Northeastern’s Queens.)

Moore 152 SENIORS Seniors, Active Citizens Right—Questions and answers were exchanged at the registrar’s office, when the seniors went to register. The registrar needed to know a few things about them and the seniors wanted to know about voting. Above—Vicki Saunders, Carol Small, and Irene Bailey are sworn in as registered voters, holding the responsibility that goes along with this privilege. Sometime during their senior year most students turned eighteen. As eighteen year olds, they suddenly had more responsibilities and privileges. One of the more important of these was the right to vote. Seniors could no longer complain about how the government was being run, whether federal or local, because they had had the chance to vote and had a voice in the government. By not voting, it would be the same as saying, “I do not care.” All that had to be done to become an active citizen was to go to the office of the Election Board in the Pasquotank Court House. There the registrar would swear the senior in, either on the Bible or by word, and then a short form had to be filled out. It would take only about fifteen minutes to become a registered voter.

Rings — Status Symbols Above—Daphne Winslow happily shows off her newly acquired class ring to all who wants to see. Above—Susan Horton pays for her class ring and waits with anticipation to see if her ring looks like the “treasure” she ordered. Most students think Fridays are special days, but October 15 meant more than the usual to the senior class of Northeastern. What was so special? This was the day the seniors received their class rings, the symbol of their achievements, rights, and privileges that made them dif- ferent from all other students. The time had come when a senior could prove that he was a senior and no one could dispute the point with him. It had been seven months from the time the rings were ordered to the time of their arrival. The previous March, seniors had to make decisions about their class ring. There were so many choices to be made—ring size, kind of stone, type of metal. The size choices were small, medium, large, and dinner rings. The choice of stone was between a gold sapphire or an emerald. The types of metals were yellow or white gold and a new material called ultrium, a harder, longer-lasting, nontarnishable material, that looked like white gold. These decisions were needed just to buy a regular ring. The seniors also had a choice of a sunburst, a cut top, or an eagle under the stone. If the seniors wanted to be really extravagant, they could order all three extras. After receiv- ing their rings most of the seniors were happy with their choices and the rings were promptly placed on the proper finger. Kathy Louise Morgan 201 Hath way Drive D.E.C.A. 11; D.C. 12.

Right—A new art form? Hardly! It’s just Randy Jackson’s chalkboard he uses to identify seniors having portraits photographed. Soon after school opened, seniors received their por- traits. As juniors, the previous May, they had taken an unprecedented vote on whether to have the traditional por- traits of girls in drapes and boys in coats and ties or to have their pictures taken in casual street attire with an environmental background. They chose to have their pic- tures taken with the scenic background. This allowed the yearbook to have color portraits for the first time at Northeastern. After seniors had looked at their old portraits and in the mirror, the lines for pictures grew. Longer hair, shorter hair, new clothes, dark tans, and all other changes that had taken place over the summer made the seniors realize that their previous portraits were out-of-date. Seniors again posed in front of cameras, handed over money, and tried to smile like angels. These pictures were returned later in the fall with more satisfactory results. The seniors happily began the mass exchange of senior portraits. o r1 GO GO M GO James Allen Ownley Tyrone Aldrich Perry Carl H.

Seniors Trade Cards The realization that graduation was not far away came to the seniors along with their graduation announcements. The day they arrived, all that was necessary was to look at the students and if they had a box it was obvious that they were seniors. There were various sized boxes, depend- ing on how many relatives were supposed to receive an- nouncements. Along with the announcements, seniors ordered a senior momento book. It had places for pictures, autographs, and name cards. The exchange of name cards began and lasted until all were exchanged. Above—Mike Jones, Tracy Davenport, Laurie Owens, and Kathy Houtz Above—Seniors eagerly wait their turn in line and then would like to exchange name cards as a remembrance of each other for the future. give their announcements back because of the oversized boxes.

Caps and Gown Worn It was not an ever-recurring green tidal wave that was seen on a Thursday at Northeastern, but the senior class that could not resist trying on their robes. Parading up and down the halls and disturbing classes with their antics, the seniors proved that they thoroughly enjoyed their new purchase. Caps were tossed up and down and around the room. The lengths of the robes were discussed as to whether they were too long or too short. Girls had to add inches to their height in case they were going to wear heels. People with cars bragged on how their tassels would soon be hanging on a rear view mirror. Others just sat and grinned; happy that they had a tassel, cap, and gown and not caring whether they had anything else. The seniors were glad that they had spent the money to buy their robes and were even happier that they would be able to keep them.

The privilege of three days vacation at the end of XJl school was solely theirs. The underclassmen had to sit in the classrooms, take final tests, and could only envy the seniors. The seniors did not waste any time in getting out of school. After having to clean out lockers (ugh!) and turn in books (yea!), they were ready to leave. At the end of school, they were the very first out the door, not to return until practice for graduation exercises. The seniors went to parties and down to the beach, except for the few stu- dents who had to go to work.

They were sad that they had to return, but this was counter- balanced by the reason of return: graduation. No one wanted to come to graduation and not know what to do. All the seniors wanted their graduation to be perfect and flow smoothly. This meant all must attend practice. Complete chaos would result if no one knew what they were supposed to be doing that night. Luckily this problem had been foreseen and all would know what to do at the special time of graduation. However, the people seen returning could not even be recognized as students. They were dressed like any thing but the 1977 high school grad- uates — until the “big event.” Above—All eyes are veered toward the platform.

Diplomas: The Rewards Graduation finally arrived for the class of “77.” The night of June 7 was permanently embossed in their minds. The seniors were no longer seniors. With a few steps they had walked from seniors of Northeastern to graduates. With their diploma in their hand the seniors would never be the same again. There could be no looking back to school days, except as fond memories. From there, it was all a for- ward outlook to the future of a broader living experience, either through a job or college. The graduates of North- eastern would continue to grow in life as they had in high school. The seniors had to return to their homerooms after graduation to pick up their grades for the last six weeks. Then they left the school to go celebrate their graduation.

Varied Projects Unite Juniors When caught between two oppos- ing forces it is often necessary for un- like causes to unite. This is what the Juniors did when stuck between those “Mighty Seniors” and “Silly Sophomores”. They merged to carry out the traditional Junior projects like the Prom and the Magazine Sale, and some not so traditional ones, like holding a TV raffle to raise money for the Prom, being the first class at NHS to receive their class rings in their Junior year, and elect- ing the first Junior Representatives to the Homecoming Court. But, no mat- ter what the Class of ’78 did, they did it together. Left—Winfred Foster quietly ponders the discussion of fellow classmates Lindsey How- ard, Eva Riddick and Shelton Harris.

They were still able to appreciate the benefits of solitude. When alone they were able to concentrate, ponder questions or just daydream, things that were hard to do while surround- ed by friends. But, most Juniors seemed to have reached a happy med- ium of solitude and togetherness.

First, as they racked their brains for the right answer on the PSAT, a short version of the SAT. Then, later in the year, as they scurried from table to table gathering information of Col- lege Night, they realized, and became better prepared for what was in store for them in years to come.

Yes! The week of November first through the fifth was astir with the bustle of homecoming activities. For weeks before then the Juniors worked on decorations to adorn their hall. The Monday afternoon of Spirit Week many Juniors sacrificed time for their classes in order to cover the History and Foreign Language Hall with their ornamentations. Their work not only beautified our halls, but brought many Juniors closer together.

In the fall they ordered their class rings, those silver and gold eternal reminders of their high school days. In the spring they made a choice between casual or formal Senior portraits, or com- promised by selecting both types.

To the upperclassmen the Junior class was classified as an unimpor- tant menace to their proclaimed knowledge and dignity. By the under- classmen the Juniors were considered as being those students to whom they owed little respect. However, these hasty concepts were soon refuted. When thrust amid a world of test tubes, beakers and Bunsen burners, the Juniors promptly proved the pre- vious theories wrong. After intense studying and testing of chemical properties, they were sent to the laboratory where the results of mind and body working together showed both the Seniors and Sophomores that they should sit up and take notice of the Juniors despite what they might have thought of them before.

Surely they must have more than one. or are they shy? The one they elect must be ready to speak up for them. Early in September each home- room elected someone to represent them in the Student Congress. Each Junior homeroom picked one Repre- sentative and one Alternate. These delegates met on Club Day with the Senior and Sophomore Representa- tives and Senators to discuss any problems they encountered in the functioning of Northeastern. The Junior Representatives played a big part in the working of the school, not only by reporting to their home- rooms, but by taking active and pro- ductive parts in the projects and com- mittees of the Student Congress.

Even though their work was diligent, the Juniors were spurred on by the thought that next year their only concerns would be who to take and what to wear, rather than the hassle of decorating.

The “lar- vae” in faded jeans became “butter- flies” in Sunday attire or sometimes even in school clothes.

Not so in this year’s group. Time spent in the library was every bit as important, to them, as time spent in good-humored griping about teachers.

Activities which, if practiced any- where but in school, might have been labelled as disgusting, deviate, or otherwise anti-social were taken quite in stride in the halls of Northeastern. One such activity was seen (and often, smelled) by sophomores per- forming lab work. Earthworm dis- sections regularly jarred the systems of budding anatomists; it could hardly be said that any of them en- joyed the stench of formaldehyde and the sight of the long, grayish worms. However, they gritted their teeth and performed the surgery, most of them glad that, after all, there was not a great deal of inside to an earthworm. o XJl U) M GO Opposite, top—While too late to revive him.

The Homecoming Court was graced with the presence of formal gowns on its girls, not the least beautiful of which were worn bv soph- omore queens Juanita Cooper and Susan Jennings. This novelty, one of many that have appeared since school’s opening, began an excellent tradition of taste and style which will, hopefully, endure not only in next year’s sophomore class but among Juniors and Seniors as well.

Nervously, clutching per- spiration-dampened speeches in fidgety hands, the candidates lined up in the main office, awaiting their turn to speak. Many of them clutched the microphone as if it were their last bond to this earth. Most of them managed to expound their merits convincingly to the student body. The usual campaign promises having been issued, the relieved candidate relinquished the floor to a colleague, so that the student body might be af- forded the chance to hear precisely the same promises in a different voice. The election day speeches, while they may not have been strict- ly adhered to by the victorious candi- dates, provided a welcome diversion for the student body — as well as a lesson in self-confidence for the senators-to-be.

SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT 207 Past Correlated With Present One of the numerically smaller divisions of the faculty, the Social Studies Department, despite its size made its impact on the student body and community. Faculty members made lessons taught in class, come alive with visits to community in- stitutions such as the local police department, public utilities plants and the courts. With Pasquotank County’s Tricentennial ending first semester, lessons were geared to correlate the community’s past with the beliefs and institutions of present- day Pasquotankians. o No longer were Juniors and Seniors the only people taking Algebra II. Sophomores, who took Geometry in the 9th grade were able to enroll also. They were being prepared to take Calculus in their Senior year. Also, the Biology classes made their way down the nature trail. They built bridges, marked trees and on one rare occasion were chased by a snake. The Ecology II class pub- lished a booklet to be given to all persons starting on the Nature Trail, which gave certain facts about trees and animals seen along the route.

FACULTY In classical and symphonic music, it was interesting to point out that the N.H.S. Symphonic Band sur- passed the 100 enrollment figure for the first time since the second year of Northeastern’s existence. In fact, it became necessary to formulate plans for a second symphonic band, the Concert Band, composed of main- ly sophomores. A “Special Interest Art Class” was also organized.

It allowed students to learn the care and habits of young children by doing as they learned. Many of the students went to gram- mar schools and assisted the teachers and worked with the children. The main purpose of adding this course was to meet the demands of the stu- dents. However, despite the new cur- riculum, enrollment decreased second semester.

For the first time, at Northeastern, the awards for players of the year were given at an assembly during school hours, instead of at the ban- quet.

A D E r Nickel Deposit Cleans Cafeteria CAFETERIA AND MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENTS 217 There were the usual complaints from students about the long lines, the food and the short lunch periods. In order to keep the lunch room clean the Student Congress decided that a five cents deposit would be charged on all trays.

Sheryl Perry demonstrates to her attentive little “pupils for a day” how a sound body will inevitably make a sound mind — by way of jumping jacks. Center inset — Barry Oliver takes the first step in constructing a nature trail by clearing away some of the unnecessary underbrush.

Evolution Forcasts Fair Weather For ‘Earthlings’ The year 1976-1977 brought some- thing strange and different in the air. It crept into the soul of every man, woman, and child and steered their hearts into a new direction. The something was a change that stirred not a revolution, but an evo- lution at Northeastern. This “unfolding of restrained minds’’ released the fertile imagina- tions of Northeastemers. They began to explore new worlds that were “miles away” from the confines of a four-walled classroom. In their desire to know more about other “earth- lings,” they journeyed to ancient eras and distant lands. Not only did they learn more about their ancestors and peers, but they left a mark of dis- tinction wherever they ventured. Closer to home, they blazed their way into unprobed worlds. A nature trail was just the first step to a con- quest of future “wildernesses.” This evolutionary process did not just affect the mind, but the heart as well. Like the barometer, the first year in Century III indicated a change in the weather outlook — low pres- sure. In the home front, students were “sitting in” instead of “sitting out” about their gripes and “pres- sures.” Also, the principal was “rapping” with students in school instead of “slapping” them back home. Such a positive forecast may have been the factor that induced the hope for “fair weather” in the future. No matter if the affirmative chang- es at NHS could develop into a new species of man or even replenish the “endangered” cooperating one, the whole procedure was expected to be a long, painstaking challenge for many. Nevertheless, the year 1977 represented the “new turn of the hourglass” that initiated the grains of time to once again trickle from hour to hour, minute to minute, and second to second. 246 CLOSING — Poor Cheryl Williams and Sandra Harris must wait for the rush of parents and patrons that will attend Commencement. Above — Well looka here at ol’ Patsy Pierce leading a cheer in her down-home, hillbilly lingo. Why the whole crowd has just “flipped its lid” over the whole shebang.” Below, left — Ah, students are now “tossing in” instead of “throwing out.” Could it be that “a man’s home is his Complex!” Below — While portraying “Everyman,” Tommy Goodwin searches for his “good deeds” — with a little help from Laurie Owens.
