ET OTHENEIGHBORHOOD WELCOMET OTHENEIGHBORHOOD WELCOMET OTHE NEIGHBORHOOD WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD and no Big Brother was watching us at Northeastern High School. In the year when ominous predictions of George Orwell were supposed to take place, we found ourselves not anywhere near the unthinking mass of machines that Orwell predicted we would be. If anything, the students and school of Northeastern clearly seemed to be normal. We were sometimes silly, gossipy, studious, spirited and fun- loving. We were a composite of all the values that were missing from Orwell’s novel, and we certainly, at Northeastern, had the individuality most lacking from Orwell’s predictions. If anything, the Class of 1984 had more liberty, freedom, and spirit than any other class, and it was shown throughout the school year. So. in a year of supposedly apathatic attitudes, we say it is 1984 and this is Eagle Country and Welcome to the Neighborhood. We had a lot to say Welcome to. This year was the only year that Northeastern had two foreign exchange students from Finland and Sweden to attend our school. Also, two brothers from Taiwan, Chen Chiou Chin and Chenyu Chin, chose Northeastern as the school to meet their needs in English and in education. John Gregson, the first twelve year old student to attend high school, moved up to Northeastern from the Junior High. Ten new faculty members came to us this year, as well as a new sport. The Girl's Cross Country. Cer- tainly. this is the first year that all of our Fall teams have had a winning season. The overall spirit and solidarity of the student body pulling together, prompted the sections of Junior and Sophomore to be combined. It was obvious that Northeastern this year had a new image of pride and an attitude of Look at Us! We’re Proud! This Is Eagle Country and Welcome to the Neighborhood!
