Whether in school or out of school, everywhere you turned, there seemed to be a number of Faces of NHS! Whether outside of school or in school, students tended to have a good time. It was a welcome sight to see all of the spirit and enthusiasm displayed at school this year. Students made the foreign exchange students feel wel- come. They also made new teachers feel welcome and the sophomores feel welcome. It was a year of a lot of new faces around school, but everyone got caught up in the very optimism of Northeastern. The new faces brought new ideas and renewed spirit. Even the old faces were full of smiles and that Northeastern Eagle Spirit.

Summer Ends . . . School Begins The exhausted student exclaims, “At last my exams are over, summer is here!” Most students wish for this moment from the first day of school until the last ques- tion on the last exam. The summer of 83’ was spent in a variety of ways. Some worked. But most just enjoyed the sum- mer by living it up in town, out of town, or at the beach. Many athletes went to sport camps. Other students attended summer programs like Governor’s School, Girl’s State, or Boy’s State. When the three months of vacation had passed, school was to begin again. For some it was a joyful thought to come back to school. For others it was depressing. However, some did not return at all. To prepare for the new school year, students shopped for new clothes and school sup- plies. On that September morning, he or she caught a bus or hitched a ride to the Eagles nest. Thus restarting that 180 day routine. A life of leisure had ended, one of schoolwork had begun. Seeing Mr. Browning, Mr. Norfleet, and the hundreds of new faces was an exciting sight. Also entering new classes with new teachers brought back memories of all work and no play. Thus realizing that summer was over and school had begun.
