Students in fashion on the move and “Hangifl °UV. . . ” The first day of school was an impor- tant day because sometimes it deter- mined the outcome of the rest of the year. This year, the first day went bet- ter than expected for students and teachers. Most were very glad to be back with their friends but not so glad to be back with the work that went along with school. But education pre- vailed and students soon got into the routine of classes. They found that the alert bell no longer alerted and attendance policies were filled with parent approved days, documented days and no note days. Along with his hassle went the problem of money. Seniors had to pay for senior portraits and Juniors purchased their classrings, while Sophomores put their money to- gether and attempted to win the spirit chain competition. Certainly, students looked forward to football season and Northeastern’s team made the first football game enjoyable for everyone. Some enjoyed playing the sport again, some liked watching, some liked cheering, and others just liked to be “hanging around”. The pep rally be- fore the game was a success, and gradually the students built their Eagle Spirit up until they finally got a chance to show it at the Homecoming Pep ral- ly. This was when the different classes and the whole school came together to prove what a great school year this was at Northeastern High School. Clockwise from left: Student Body Presi- dent.
