 S,0 U p Success was more than “just hanging 'fr w e’re intrigued with the immense amount of material and knowledge that the Quiz Bowl members had to know to be a member. Every Wednesday night members of the Quiz Bowl along with teachers and community members got to- gether for a contest of wits. This was all done to prepare the members for the competition held in February. The Quiz Bowl under the direction of Julie Bridges held a community TRIVIA contest at Northeastern and met with tremendous success.

The Junior Class al- ways participates in the annual magazine drive for the Prom held in April. Juniors volunteer their time to beat the streets in an effort to have “the best prom ever”.

Pat Shepard and Travis Burke get students to stop “just hanging around” and to start participating. Outside achievements lead into aca- demic achievement as this was the first year that Northeastern had five nomi- nees for the Merit Scholarships — Jeremy Brya, Tori Morhand, John Gillikin, Angela Gray and Mark Cham- berlain. The Morehead Scholarship, another outstanding award, was repre- sented by Patton McDowell who won the local and the district competition. At the end of the year over 100,000 dollars worth of scholarships will be awarded to Northeastern students for outstanding academic achievements. Even the athletic program produced excellence as Marcus Wooton received an award from the Army for his excellence in soccer and Anthony Smith was actively being recruited by such universities as Clemson, Alabama and USC. Such stu- dents instilled pride in the school and in the community and showed that whether in or out of school working hard paid off in all aspects of life.
