A SCHOOL IS WHERE The NHS varsity football team has the ball and they are in the ‘midst’ of making an outstanding play as the fog moves in. HOMECOMING Eagle fans smurfing out at their homecoming dance. The dance was a smash hit even though the football team was not victorious. BELOW: MISS HOMECOMING Sandra Aguiar receiving her crown. Homecoming week started off with spirit. More students than ever before participated in the activities sponsored by the Student Congress from NHS Day to Punk rock, to green and gold Day. The “Wild and Crazy” costumes worn by students generated the spirit needed to make the week not only fun. but also memorable. The teachers caught up in the spirit of the week, donned their costumes and Rah Rahed with everyone else. Highlights of the week were the parade sponsored by the varsity cheerleaders, the spirit chain sponsored by the pep club and. of course, the pep rally, sponsored by Spirit. The parade turned out an immense success with the VICA Metal shop float winning the best float—VICA ICT, and YAC were runners up. Whoever won. the floats were great and all displayed the motivating attitude of Down with the Bruins'. The Seniors won the spirit Chain by buying 18.279 links. The Juniors bought 16.233 links and the Sophomores bought 15,858 links. Even though the Sophomores were on the bottom and Claude Nixon got a pie in the face, they displayed more spirit this year than ever before. The pep rally began even before sixth period with chants and booes thrown at classes during break and lunch. It was spontaneous spirit which lead to the best pep rally the school has ever had. With the varsity and J.V. Cheerleaders in the lead and Steve Midgett. Melvin Hawkins and Claude Nixon leading their classes in chants spirit boomed in the gym. Even Vic and Tory got in the act with a little dancing with the Pom Pom Squad to “Whip Em”. Even if the victory was not to be ours at the football game against the Bruins. Homecoming week displayed the support the entire student body gave the football team. They never gave up. and the spirit they displayed lead the school to the best spirit ever. Certainly, there was no place like school during homecoming. Now. the moment we have all been waiting for. Miss Homecoming 1982. It was a hard decision but it had to be made, and announced for the first time ever on the homecoming field “Sandra Aguiar”. 12—Student Life
