Spirit Helped to homecoming cont . . . Bust the Bruins Smiling faces, outbursts of laughter, multiple plaids, hats and ties, cos- tumes, made-up faces, celebrities, school spirit, green and gold, Eagle hats, pins and pennants, pom-poms, break-dancing, stepping, chants and cheers, and multiple tardies to third period classes were just a few events that took place during the Homecoming week. It just didn’t happen; it took a lot of time and hard work from the student body representatives. They came up with all of the ideas for each of the days, and the students respond- ed to such ideas as Celebrity Day, Plaid Day, NHS Day with enthusiasm which continued into the night with the annual Homecoming Parade down Main Street. Winding up at the Boys’ Club the cheerleaders and Claude Nixon lead the students with cheers and Above: NHS Day brought Sherwin Davis a day of fun as he showed his support and spirit in his checkered hat and tie. During homecoming pep rally, Eddy Kitchen helped Lisa Gregory down after her terrific rendition of Let’s Hear It For The Boys . Looking like Poncho Villa. Luke Bundy walked the halls a little taller. Left: Bopping the Bruins was the name of the game during the homecoming parade ac- cording to the Pom-Pon Squad’s float. words of encouragement at the bon fire. Certainly, the best was yet to come on Friday with the Homecoming Pep Rally. Here everyone found out who had won the spirit chain contest and who had the most spirit during the week. The spirit chain took a lot of money out of the pockets of the stu- dents of each class, but it showed the significance of each class trying to pull together in unity. Unity was the name of the game as everyone came togeth- er during the pep rally. The girl members of the tennis team, cross country team, volleyball team, cheer- leaders, majorettes and pom-pon squad all danced together to “Let”s Hear It For The Boys” while Lisa Gregory sang it for the members of the football team. The unity of spirit must have worked as the football team defeated the Bruins 14-13. Miss Sophomore was Pam Brite and Miss Junior was Anita Sutton. Halftime of the football game was the event everyone was waiting for. The cars drove on the field and the finalists strolled onto the field: An- drea Turnage, Carin Aguiar, Lisa Jenkins and Holly Luther. Of them, Lisa Jenkins was crowned by Mr. Browning as Miss NHS. Homecoming 84-85 was a hugh success and showed the students pulling together in a spirit that was a reflection of how far Northeastern had progressed under the leadership of Browning, Norfleet and Dudley. It was a spirit of the new “coming of age” attitude shared by students and faculty alike. Certainly, it was a homecoming that the sopho- mores really participated in as they won second in the spirit chain contest. 16—Student Life
