County Olympics join together Community and School for a time of Sharing, Caring and LOVE . . . Special Olympics—a time for bringing together the community and school for a day of events, fun and love. Area students participate in this day-long af- fair as “Huggers” and they do a terrif- ic job. Each year the Special Olympics grows into a bigger and better program for the handicapped students of Eliza- beth City. The Special Olympics is a time for the handicapped to get out and just have a “great ole time” of sun and fun! We all take part in welcoming the Special Olympians to our neighbor- hood!

The Night in the Orient was a night to remember. ‘Everything was great. It went so smoothly.” These are the words of the prom chairperson, Mrs. Hewitt. The Prom 83’ was a tremendous success, not only to her; but, for everyone in- volved. Prom 83’ was a year for changes. The most drastic change was a switch to entertainment during the intermis- sions. At the first intermission, the Northeastern High School Show Chorus entertained the couples. “We’ve never had entertainment during intermission. We thought it would be a great addi- tion,” said Mrs. Hewitt. During the sec- ond break the Jaycees shot off a large Japanese-styled fireworks display. These tied in well with the prom’s theme, “A Night in the Orient”. These and other events cost quite a lot of money. The Junior Class, however, raised so much money they had some left to give to charity. With this money, a donation was given to the local Burn Center in the name of the Class of 84’. “Even the band did not make a mess like they have in the past,” said Mrs. Hewitt. The night in the orient was a night to remember. Above right: Juniors and advisors work diligently on the elaborate oriental decora- tions.
