A favorite hotspot was EGADs. Students mastered video skills and gossiped with friends. Another place to have a good time, dance, and just let loose the frustrations from school was the Elk’s. HANGOUTS . . . Where and how do students get away from all the hassles they encounter at school? Many find seclusion and tranquility In the library but of course they continuously are nagged for passes. Break was created for students to just let loose and relax after their strenuous classes to gossip. Often students could be found “under the Eagle”, primping in the bathrooms, in the smoking area, in the cafeteria, wandering the halls, or in class completing a megatest. The first major hassle a student encounters is just getting up and going to school. Then they are swamped with tests, homework, assignments, essays, bells, bathrooms with no toilet paper, and getting out of those cramped parking spaces. Students “escaped” from their mass miseries by cruising the town, feeding tokens Into video games, feeding their faces, going to parties, shopping at the mall, or just hanging around. Despite all the hassles of obtaining an education at school, Northeastern is and always has been the best place to socialize. Believe it or not there is a famous hanoout at school. It's In front of the office under the Eagle at break and it looks as if these students are enjoying it. Many students could be found at the Jaycee's Fair, eating riding rides and just hanging around. Another famous hangout would have to be the smoking area. It’s a good place to talk with all your friends at break and to also get rid of that ‘Nicotine Fit.” 8—Student Life

Teachers seem to get the crazy notion that students go to school just to do work! Give us a break! Football practices may seem to be a big hassle but thanks to the fancy footwork of Avery Brooks and Ernest Shannon practice isn’t such a drag. A major misery for students was having classes in trailers. This meant getting drenched in the rain and being late. Although most of these guys think standing in long lunch lines is a pain, the wait is worth it. and HASSLES Getting admits meant waiting in long lines and usually being late for your first period class. What a • bite'' having to finish a test during break and not being able to hear the latest news from all your friends. Student Life—9
