Credit Given Where Credit Due Or ‘Effort Pays’ Below—Larry Turner and Patsy Pierce joyfully selected them for outstanding scholastic and congratulate one another upon receiving the civic service. 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
