August 26th marked a new beginning in the history of Northeastern High School. For the first time since opening in 1970, freshmen have been included in the Eagle's Nest. This occurrence came about after a major shakeup in the area schools. Because pans of the P. W. Moore School were condemned last year, a problem of where to house the displaced sev- enth-graders arose. The only solution was to move the students to Elizabeth Gty Junior High. Consequently, 405 rising ninth-graders and many teachers were squeezed” out. To accomodate the dislocated students, twenty-one classrooms were added on to Nonheastem. This may have solved the immediate problem, but other problems came with the resettlement of the freshmen. The term floater” became pan of our vo- cabulary. A floater is a teacher who must travel from one empty classroom to another in order to teach. Secondly, crowded halls made it almost impossible to get to class on time. To handle the problems of parking, all park- ing lots were repaved and additional spaces were added. However, due to the limited availability of parking permits, some students were forced to park off campus. Overall, the problems that came with the arrival of the freshmen were far outweighed by the benefits. Northeastern is now a four-level senior high school and all of the students in the system finally have a permanent home.

With the arrival of the freshmen, these juniors had yet another class to keep in tine. The Big Squeeze 3 F Nf | U AL Raising money to finance Northeastern's new addition as well as restoring many area schools put a dent in the wallets of local taxpayers, parents and students. Citizens were forced to pay higher taxes in order to raise money for the schools. Parents and students also felt the effects of the venture with extra school expenses and price increases. For instance, high school lunches were raised from $(X).90 to $ 1.00- students had to purchase supplemental reading materials-the number of textbooks available was limited to the point that students were only allowed to use the books during class time. New equipment such as desks, chalkboards, computers and audio-visual aids also took a big bite out of the budget. These materials were necessary to help the school run more efficiently and productively. In the long run, all of the expenditures proved to be worthwhile and most beneficial. Area schools were refurbished and Northeastern ONbH if uF Em Mizelle may be smiling, bur some students weren't quite as happy about the increased prices of school lunches I AKk IT off ' Principal J.R.

Several rules in particular caused great concern among the student body: A no smoking policy for both pupils and teach- ers may have delighted non-smokers, but those who needed the frequent nicotine fix were fumed. It was 5 o'clock for four. Detention was back. After a one year absence, detention hall was once again pan of the school’s efforts to curb student’s appetites for excessive tardies. Those who exceeded the four-tardy limit found themselves serving time in detention until 5:00 in the afternoon. This type of behavior was also prohibited in the Student Code of Conduct-a manual which was issued to all students at the si an of the school year. The Hands Off policy, also included in the man- ual, was more strictly enforced this year. The rule that prohibits students of the opposite sex from expressing physical affection towards each other was seen by some as unreasonable and a violation of personal rights. To others, the policy was seen as totally rational and necessary. On the other hand, club day was put back into the schedule of events. After being removed last year, many clubs suffered from low panicipation and some were even forced to disband. But, after protest from many organizations, clubs were once again allowed to meet during school hours. Obviously, the purpose of these rules and pol- icies was to help Northeastern run smoother dur- ing the difficult time of transition. And, with administrators, faculty, and staff maintaining a firm grip, the Big Squeeze took on yet another meaning. HiKm Although this type of behavior was tolerated at Band Camp, Meg Me Ever and Kim Winslow would have hern in a fine mess if this happened at school Mind ywz Remember the good old days when you could stick french fncs up your nose at the lunch table' By doing this, Daryl White openly defies the Student Code of Conduct The Big Squeeze 7 STUDENTLIFE school crowded . . . was happy back at NHS for one more year. Keisha Gregory, Senior By: Katrina Foster and Christian Swain Photos Jackson, Purrza The invasion of the freshmen from the junior high highlighted the opening day of the 87-88 school year. The additional 388 students and 29 teachers had the halls filled with bumping, pushing, and squeezing bodies in mass confusion. Even though the student council attempted to familiarize the new students with the school they were still asking other students and teachers for directions. Not only were the new students searching for their classes, but also returning students and yes, teachers. A few days later when the students thought they had it made since they had learned where all of their classes were another problem arose. 'Which bell schedule are we on today? Is it 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ... During the first six weeks the regular bell schedule was used only six days. No doubt the senior pit was filled with excitement and joy. These fortunate individuals will be saying their last goodbyes to the good old days of high school this year. All in all the first day of school was great. The cooperation of the students, faculty, and staff helped to make the opening day of the 87-88 school year a success. These seniors were at long last where they wanted to be — in the SENIOR PIT waiting for the first bell to ring of the last school year 10 — Back In The Saddle Again Down (hr hall io your left, says Mrs. Bridges when a student asks for directions.

The weekend has begun in Elizabeth City. As the wheels squeal out of Sonic and the horns blare, crowds begin to gather at Waterfront. With the park now closing at eleven o'clock, people arrived even earlier. For those with enough gas money, many ventured outside the area to the resort areas of nearby Virginia Beach and Nags Head. With few things to do in the city, the student body voted on the proposal of building a teen nightclub. The students voted for a teen center, but it will be up to the city administrators to make the final decision. As the weekend sun fades, we all begin to head for home and wonder what we will be doing the following weekend. We imagine there may be a party or just hang out.

Buyer I never before thought of handicapped peo- ple as being quite like me. I was afraid of the comments I made when speaking to them, afraid I'd offend them with my gestures. I was afraid that conversations and confrontations would be akward and embar- rassing because of my inhabitions, but I have been fortunate enough to meet many of the handicapped students at Northeastern High School, and I have now lost the social handicap I had because of my fears. I too want you to meet some of the handicapped students of North- eastern High School, my new friends. The bell rings. George Heath turns around to see the mob of people beginning to fill up the narrow halls of Northeastern. He walks as quickly as he can to one of the spaces in between the vast rows of grey lockers and leans up against the cold wall. He knows he can t con- tinue walking until the halls have cleared be- cause his pace isn't fast enough to keep up with the other students. He knows if he falls, then he won't be able to get up on his own. The crowds will only make it harder for him to get to his next class. As he rests he hears a conversation that two girls are having on how unfair it is that they are on restriction and can't go to Friday night's homecoming dance. George thinks while he's patiently waiting, Those problems that people have in everyday life, that's how they're different than the problems 1 have . . . They can make their problems better. I can only deal with mine. The lights come on. The last note echoes through the coliseum and the faithful fans of Alabama leave their seats and head towards the exits, another concert over with only memories left. Thomas Heath is overwhelmed with ex- citement and joy as he too, exits through the doors like the others but not to leave, Thomas is on his way to the band's dressing room to meet his biggest idols. With a queezy stomach Thomas makes the final turn of what seems like an endless journey and can now clearly view the entrance to the room. He squeezes the arms of his wheelchair to make sure this is truly hap- pening. He passes the crowd and makes his way to the enormous door. As Thomas enters he hears the remark, The only reason he gets to go in is because he’s in a wheelchair.” The door opens. Julie Riley enters the doc- tor's office with high hopes and expectations ready to hear her prognosis from the doctor. She imagines the doctor saying her fractured neck has mended and she can have the halo , screwed into her skull to support her head and neck, removed. The memories of the tragic car accident could be put behind her, and she could again take a normal shower or drive her car. She sits down and feels overwhelmed with fear and excitement as the doctor speaks, Julie I hate to have to tell you this, but the bone has not healed at all. I'm sure six more weeks will do it this time. Julie cries. 14 — Wheels And Wills Of Steel 1 The game ends. Sonie Freshwater stands sol- emnly overlooking the football field. The team runs off to the locker room after an impressive win over Perquimans. Sonie thinks of how last week he was the one carring the ball down the field to the fans screaming, Go, Sonie Go! His future was going to consits of many victorious high school and college football games. He wouldn't be stopped. He would be an invincible player. He walks over to the 35 yard line and looks down at the spot where in a simple pre- season scrimmage game his dreams were shat- tered. His knee permanendy damaged. He sighs and thinks as he walks to congratulate the team,” It really hurt me because it was my senior year and I hoped to shine, but says as he approaches the team, Good job, guys.” A cool October wind gusts. Anthony Griffin keeps his hands busily working as he puts the finishing touches on the canvas of his graf- fiti art. The fimiliar smell of spray paint engulfs the air as the last hiss of the can materializes. Anthony smiles as what he thinks is one of his “Those problems that people have in eve- ryday life, that's how they're different than the problems I have . . . They can make their problems better. I can only deal with mine. -George Heath greatest pieces of an. He feels the sweet pleasure of success at a job well done. In a daze of pride, Anthony is startled when one of his friends taps him on his shoulder. His friend looks at Anthony and proceeds to ask him how he can always be so cheerful and optimistic when he is physically dis- abled. Anthony chuckles and says, I thank God for what I am. I just thank God that I'm here, I'm living. These handicapped students are no differ- ent than we are. They possess a courage, a determination that most can only dream of achieving. For them it’s the only way to reach the unlimited opportunities that “I thank God for what I am. I just thank God that I'm here. I'm living. - Anthony Griffin await them out in our vast society. For Sonie and Julie their injuries will heal with time until mem- ories are all that will be left. For George, Thomas and Anthony they must find the strength to accept and deal with their handicaps everyday. Their bravery is truly expressed in their wheels and wills of steel. Wheds And Wills Of Seed by Judy Boyer Phoros. B. Boyer Leading rhe Special Olympic parade Micki and Meg McEver applaud the efforts of the local Olympians. Sandy Davis and local participants light the Olympic Flame to stan the ceremonies. It is July 29,1987. Sandy Davis and Beverly James board a waiting private Cessna jet at Winston-Salem airport. One-hundred and nineteen such jets from across the United States fly into Indiana On board are excited, anxious coaches and Special Olympians dreaming of the coming competitions to be held at Notre Dame. When all the planes land and all the people are asleep in the Notre Dame dormitories, the count adds up to seventy-two countries, and all U.S.A. states and territories represented by special athletes, Special Olympians. Davis and James too sleep, excited to be at International competition, but knowing that getting there had been a long time in coming. Paving the way to International competition, Sandy Davis held local Special Olympics in April of 1987. Pasquotank County and Camden County merged at Northeastern High School for another celebration of love and courage-bands playing, balloons flying, and huggers waiting, the local competition got underway. One of the participants was Beverly James who sparkled in her efforts in fifty and one hundred meter runs and the 4 x 100 meter relay, as well as the standing long jump. This was not new to Beverly, she had been a participant for nine years, but this year was to prove to be her glory year. From local competition, it was onward to regionals. Nancy Harris, Joanne Mizelle, and Davis led Pasquotank's group. Nine counties converged in Northeastern's complex in May with hopes of advancing to the state. Beverly, again, placed in the top three in every event, and led the way to U.N.C.- Chapel Hill for the state competition in late May. It is June. Word comes that Sandy Davis has been elected to be head coach in track and field for the International Special Olympics and Beverly James has won the draw to participate at international level. Pasquotank County is proud! North Carolina is proud to send James and Davis to the first ever International Training school in Charlotte, North Carolina. James trains; Davis coaches and afterwards Charlotte-Mecklenburg gives the seventy-two athletes and twenty coaches a day at Carowinds. It is August 7. Davis watches as Beverly James wins a bronze medal in the fifty meter run and fifth place in the one-hundred meter run. In the 4x100 relay, lead runner, James, rounds the track, hands off the baton and wins the gold in the fastest relay team in the world. Not even the presence of Whitney Houston, Don Johnson, or Oprah Winfrey (among others) entertaining and applauding the Special Olympians, could capture the moment, the meaning, or the love more than James' win. Davis was so choked up he couldn't talk straight (Time Magazine, August 17, 1987). Because of Davis’ efforts, because of Nancy Harris’ and Joanne Mizelle’s, because of many hugger s efforts and many clubs and student's efforts, North- eastern High School was awarded the Outstanding Organization Award and Davis was awarded Outstanding Coordinator for North Carolina Special Olympics. James might have brought home a gold medal in track to make us all shine , but Davis and many other volunteers brought home another type of gold that reflects a love that stays special for special people. 16 — Local SpcxiaJ Olympics Loud Special Olympic� — 17 Many countries were represented from around the world, and displaying the United Srates flag was a proud moment Below Participants in the International competition were awarded gold, silver and bronze medals Dennis Dudley received the Out- standing Organization Award for Northeastern High School as Sandy Davis looked on. 18 — International Special Olympics Beverly James was certainly Notre Dame Bound as she brought home a gold as a participant in the fastest relay team in the world Aleene Davis surprised her husband, Sami) Davis, when he received the award for the Out- standing (adordinator for Special Olympics in North Car- olina She was as proud as all of the students, huggers and clubs . � Mi Davis, accomplishment I_lj...........

Summer Excursions — 21 22 — NHS' Huropran Vacation Many people often dream of getting a taste of the foreign spice of life. During the summer several NHS students realized their dreams of foreign travel. A heat wave was sweeping the country when Christian Swain, Katherine Sweeney, and Colleen Sanders packed their bags and headed for the cooler climate of Europe. The group sponsored by Mrs Thompson toured the Swiss Alps, wandered through the streets of Rome and floated down the canals of Venice during their 16-day tour of Switzerland and Italy. April 15, 1987. Spring was in the air in the USA but winter still lingered in the USSR. Traveling with her Russian History Class (COA), Kema Hilts was on her way to the Soviet Union for a 14-day tour of the country. To some of us, it became a European Vacation. D I y meet- I I ing and talking with the Soviet peo- ple, I realized how much we have in common and how our lives are differ- ent. Kema Hilts, Senior NHS' European Vacation — 23 With the addition and expansion of N.H.S., I was a little apprehensive on the first day of school. I knew that the student body would now consist of a wider variety of people, not just the familiar faces of the former year. As I waded through the thick bog of students in the hallway, I found myself being ‘waved” down by a surfer, thrashed” by a skater, “dipped” by a football player, scrutinized” by a scholar and finally I realized that if I was going to get to class on time, I was going to have to catch a ride on the “floater can express”. I questioned entering the school year with the inclusion of the freshman class because I knew that with such a diverse assortment of personalities there would be constant friction between the cliques. I soon realized, however, that, as Chaucer said, we are just a group ” ... of sundry folk happening then to fall in fellowship , each of us contributing a small part of what it takes to be an Eagle and a member of THE BIG SQUEEZE.

Simon and Garfunkd To see the epitomy of the phrase “The more things change, the more they stay the same , you should experience N.H.S. in 1987-88. Teachers as well as students are humming the tunes of “You Keep Me Hanging On , Louie-Louie and Twist and Shout . Other songs such as La Bamba” by Los Lobos and People Are Strange now re-done by Echo and The Bunnymen are once again on the charts. It seems that the idea of a Rock 'n' Roll Heaven has been given up to the assurance of musical reincarnation. Also along this re-assembly line are the toys people have. Surfng and skateboarding are once again high priorities in many teenagers' minds. The only difference now is what determnes how good you are: how dangerous you can be without accually hurting yourself. Though these things cover a large majority of Northeastern High School, only one thing involves us all. The clothes you wear today may cover your outside but really reflea on what you are like on the inside. Well, folks, it looks as though a generation of new-wave hippies have come into the Mainstream of teenage social circles. Once again tie dies are in full bloom, Skirts and high topped sneakers are back up. Baggie shorts are a common sight, along with Soho shades and bows in girls’ hair. Hairstyles today not only include long, short, spiked and shaved styles, but often involve two or more of these together. In conclusion, all of this couldn’t be complete without a similar frame of mind. Teenagers today are not only concerned with the aftermath of Viet Nam, but with the present day threaghts of the Middle East. These events involve us all, as well as the future generations of northeastern students. We are fortunate to have comrades that feel the same as we do, and we hope that as we grow and our lifestyles change, our thoughts and memories will remain the same. 28 — The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same (left) Do you know that look?

Denny is considered a pioneer in the sport of freestyling Five years ago, Denny Howell got on his bicydc and started doing tricks. A year later, he was a full-time freestyler and a partner of the Ultra- Rad Trick Team with friend Kenneth Evans. What started as a hobby is now a full time job for Denny. Averaging thirty-eight practice hours a week, Denny has risen from the rank of amateur to expen. Besides practicing, his job demands travel. Denny has toured across the United States (his fav spots being Los Angeles and Reno) and Canada. In addition, he still find time to do free shows for the local Special Olympics. Denny is nationally recognized for his talents in such magazines as Super BMX , Freestyle , Freestylin”, and 'BMX Plus”. He invents most of his own tricks and is considered by his fellow freestylers as a pioneer as well as deadly competition. What does the future hold for Denny? After graduation, Denny plans to move to Los Angeles to attend college and of course, continue riding. Another career move will be the transition from the rank of Expert to Professional. A contract with sponsor Skyway is also in the works. At a towering 6’10 Kenny Williams is a basketball superstar. He is ranked second in the nation among all high school students and is the first player from Northeastern to become a high school All-American. Kenny has been playing basketball all of his life but, people — mainly Dean Smith, coach of the UNC Tarheels — took notice of his talents in seventh grade. Kenny played for Northeastern his sophomore year but, he spent his junior year at Fork Union Military Academy in Virginia. There Kenny played basketball with college level players. However, Kenny decided to leave Fork Union and finish his senior year at NHS. He was welcomed back with open arms and was once again part of the Eagle team. Even before he started playing, Kenny had already signed with UNC and had a Tarheel uniform reserved for him after graduation. Still, he didn't let his success go to his head. Kenny remained a team player and was a factor to the Eagles' successful season. Rising Stars — 33 Each year Northeastern teachers are asked to select outstanding stu- dents from the senior class. The criteria for the selection is very simple — select those students who have made Northeastern a better place simply by being here. Somehow, someway the following students impressed a teacher. It could have been that they always had a smile on their face and went the extra mile whenever asked. It could have been that they sparked the rest of the class into discussion or were willing to take the responsibility of a task that everyone else shunned. It could have been that when everyone else was home watching television that some of these students were still on the practice field or in the gym sweating and working to do just a little bit . What each of these students, each in their own way, each in their own personalities embodied was the continuing Eagle Spirit — that which makes coming to school not just a job, but an adventure for everyone. by Northeastern Teachers Chandra Lunb Camille Panicis I m Bret Palis lason Wooddisse Peggy Mueller Paige Simpson l.ianne Wilson Yvette Jones Sheila Grizaard Sherri Jennings Denise Gregory Caroline Richardson M — Hall Of Fame MhMIt Coupct Melissa Ham Beth Spence Viaona Whitehurst Katherine Sweeney Charlotte Davit Andy Curtice Javis Gibbs Lynn Humphries Dottic Hopkins Hilary Hunsberger Jenny Jackson Beth McDowell Karen Mercer Paula Gibbs Kristie Eadie Claude Green Jeff Roberts Jody Gordon_________________Curtice Tyler Damon Mills Stacy Marrow Donna Gilpin Julie Riley HaU Of Fame — 35 Even though it was Necktie, Hat and Sunglasses Day.

This took some of the pressure off of the under classmen, and a few juniors even tried to sneak a seat in the pit. Thursday ended in a parade and a pep rally at Waterfront park.

The mood came alive as blue and silver helium balloons floated over the couples while they danced to the top 40 music of Cruz. An eye catching juggling act was also provided to entertain the prom goers. It was certainly a sight for teachers to see their students dressed up in gowns, heels, and tuxedoes instead of blue jeans and sneakers. You could even sense a change in behavior as the usually peppy students became elegant and reserved in their actions. The girls were trying not to step on their dresses and the guys trying not to wrinkle their tuxedoes. Of course there would not be have been a prom if it wasn’t for the hard work of the decorate the cafeteria, planned the menu, provided entertainment, and anything else that attributed to the planning, preperation, and presentation of the prom were certainly rewarded by it's success. It was a great night for everyone involved but like all good things it had to come to an end. Of course the memories will always remain with everyone who attended the 1987 Junior-Senior Prom. It certainly was a night to remember. Trip Link shows the ocher prom goers his own style as he sports his high cop Converses.

Kathy Eadie served as mistress of ceremonies to open to open the show and from there on the talented Seniors put on a show that dazzled the audience from beginning to end. Tlie first act contained the entire cast dancing and singing to My Future’s So Bright I Have To Wear Shades and solos and group songs and dances continued on from there. Before the ten minute intermission a group of ten guys danced and sang Shout! to the delight of the crowd After intermission Kathy Kadie got the show on the road again with more remarks about school life.Once again the entire cast began the show with a dance of It's Hip To Be Square and once again the show took of.

Ovivuui Swain Dark thunderous clouds hovered over the complex hours before the graduating class of 1987 was to march in the commencement exercises. The possibility of enclement weather put a damper on the spirits of those who had been counting on an outdoor ceremony. Luckily, at the last minute, the clouds lifted and the sun broke through. With high spirits and a tear or two, the graduates started on the procession that they had worked towards for twelve years. Only days before, the graduates had gathered together for their last celebration as Senior. The dance Hip to be Square performed by the cast of the Senior Showcase, and the yearbook dedication to Karen Luginbuhl and signing highlighted the day. A special moment of togetherness came when Paula Kurtz and Maria Andersion sang Friends. A cookout with dancing and entertainment from Band Director David Albert rounded out the day activities. At the end of the day there was not a dry eye and laughter and cries of sadness echoed throughout the gym. Together once more the graduates Addressing the graduates and the crowd of friends and family gathered , Valedictorian Christy Beacham gave an inspiring speech about surviving in the future which just aroung the comer.

This aroma entrances the famished scholars, forcing them to forget their studies and deal with the loud roars of empty stomachs that drowns out the teachers' lectures, until eleven thirty-five when the cramming begins. Yes, it is the one and only NHS cafeteria that serves over four thousand five hundred and seventy-two carbohydrates daily, thus giving students the energy they need to successfully complete their demanding high school curriculum. At NHS students are not only challegened by their academic studies, for a greater challenge than academics awaits them everyday, the decision of what they should devour for lunch. At the sound of the tone a hungry faceless mob stampedes like a herd of wild cattle towards one of the six various feeeding stations. Mounds of chili are poured over stacks of crunchy of taco chips and topped with a river of cheese. Greedy hands grab at unsuspecting french fries, as pizza is delivered by the cold steel spatulas. To wash down the chicken sand- wiches, cookies and potato chips, tubs of tea are made ready to comsume daily. Finally, no meal is complete without a delectible dessert of ice cream. This continual cycle of cramming takes place two more times until the tone sounds again at five minutes after one and the masses of students are herded back to class to finish the days' work. Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow is the credo held by many high school students. Rather than starting a week ahead of time on that big project, most students burden themselves to complete it in one night. But for extreme procrastinators the period before the project is due is a good time to start. Less serious cases cnvolve those students who cram four tests into a mere hour study session in the wee hours of the night. Even less serious offenders consist of those who chose to read Cliff Notes instead of the actual literary works of an. Such sloppy study habits may not effect a student now, but in the long run good study habits do pay off. Two of the seven deadly sins are gluttony (pigging out) and sloth (being lazy). Whether they want to admit it or not, students commit at least one of these sins during their stay at Nonheastem. Let's face the facts, none of us are perfect. 50 — Academics The library is the perfect place to cram.

Through such courses as World History and Government and Economics, students learn about their world and the inner workings of their government. Economics is set up to teach young people about the world trade system and how it effects them in cverday living. Can you name the capital of Somalia.' If you can, you must have taken World Cultures.

Today in the world speaking more than one language is essential. Being able to converse in different languages is necessary today because of the increasing numbers of bilingual communities in the United States. Business between foreign people is becoming more common. Students are acquiring this in high school and are training to be able to deal with it in different places around the world. Variety of people are taking excursions to foreign countries than ever before. For people in a foreign place it is much easier to speak at least some of the country's native tongue. Haven’t you ever wonder where words like Fiancee and pinata came from.' Majority of English words are derived from another language.

Madam oiselle Mur- phy. said Jacklyn Bunn Academics — 53 Photos By Purcza, Jackson, Boyer, and By: Christian Swain Miller English plays an important part of the academic schedule at NHS. The majority of the students enjoy the subject of English. It offers a better understanding of the literature of the past as well as the present. English gives students a realization of their everyday problems and helps them to relate to the problems presented by the characters studied in their English literature. Grammar also plays an important pan in the English class. Students starting high school gave a basic understand of grammar. Still many students need a basic refresher course of English grammar. A lot of teachers realize this and they take some time to renew the students understanding on the basic sentence structure and use of our language. In each grade level English has an variety of different literature. In 9th grade, one of the most romantic story that is read is Romeo and luilet. This is just a taste of Shakespeare's works, lulius Caesar, another of Shakespeares' plays, is studied by the sophomore class. Walt Whitman and Emily Dickenson are great poets that are studied by the junior class. Nathan Hawthorne s The Scarlet Letter is a great American story that many classmates enjoy. In the first two years of high school they read two important plays of Shakespeare but in their senior year the readers go in a more depth of Shakespeare s works. m 54 — Academics Mr Williams gives a demonstration of a karate move.

Pureza, Miller When considering the educational aspect of Northeastern, the emphasis is on English, Science, and Math. Many go through their high school careers with the notion that these three subjects are the only ones availible. The truth is, there is a world of creativity waiting to be examined in the area of Fine Arts. Journalism is a unique combination of constitutional rights mixed with creative writing. In stories written, students convey the news items important to their student body. An Art class enables a student to express his her feelings and explore the many facits of color. Here at Northeastern it is no different. In art class, you do more than just draw, you create. Students seem to believe that to be in art you must know how to draw very well. Students forget the importance of visual thinking, color perception and the sense of surface and form. There is always someone who loves to be the class-down, a person who longs to get in front of an audience and show what they’re made of. A Drama Class takes this raw-talent and molds it into a brilliant ability. One way this is done is by letting the students preform plays in front of their peers. Some enjoy playing a musical instrument rather than journalism, art, or drama. Being in The Band allows a person to study famous composers and play the works written by those composers. Music appreciation and application is in a sense what the Band is all about. Singing is a way that some people express their joy. To others it's an extreme art form. Either way you look at it, singing is more than belting out a few notes, it 's a way of communicating. Chorus is a perfect place to communicate.'' Chorus allows students to learn how' to use their voice effectively, sing charted hits, and strike a flame of creativity that lies in all students. Northeastern is full of creative departments that allow students to show their talent. Journalism, Art, Drama, Band, and Chorus are all a part of the cluster we call Fine Arts .

Academics — 57 Have you ever found yourself feeling heavy eyed at the sight of the projector as it rolls in the room ready to show yet another monotonous filmstrip' Does the monotone sound of your teachers voice seem to lull you to sleep? If this sounds like you. then you could be at serious risk of finding yourself in an academic dilemma or spending countless hours in detention making up for lost time. Some students may joke. |est, or even brag about taking an unexcusable nap in class, but it has greater effects. You could find yourself in a very embarrasing sirutation. So the next time you find your head bobbing and weaving, your eyes rolling back in your head, remember what might happen to you: you could waken to find strange faces surrounding you while the teacher stands over you snickering; you could wake up to find those embarrasing sweater marks on your face, just when you were about to ask that person you were dreaming about for a date; you might discover that you talk in your sleep and consequently blurted out your most intimate secrets, or a fate worse than death, other people would know that you snore. So the next time you find yourself dozing off into la la land, remember it is not only your academic achievements you are putting in jeopardy, but more importantly, your social reputation.

Boyer There is more to learning than spending countless hours with your nose buried deep between the pages, textbooks, manuals, or notes. Two Northeastern High School programs — Academically Gifted Mentor and Child Care — have proven over the years that the most enriching way of learning is through hands-on experience. These courses give students an in-depth look at the trials and tribulations of adult responsibilities in the working world as well as the joys of a job well done. The mentorship program is geared towards enlightening students to the relationships between education and career preparation. In this course students choose the areas in the work force in which they are most interested. With this exposure to the specific careers, the students are better able to make the difficult transition from a giddy, carefree teen to a responsible industrious adult. Child care gives an in-depth look into the basic operations of an elementary school classroom. They gain experience in educating im- pressionable young minds. The students direct activities such as fun- damental reading skills, arts and crafts, and the essentials of addition and subtraction. This not only benifits the children but also gives the child care students the necessary experience needed to deal with children. These courses are structured so that students are involved in such a way that is impossible to achieve in a regular classroom. This unique way of learning ignites a spark of curiosity and willingness to learn for both the students, teachers, and mentors. 60 — Academics Above: While memoring with Glen Austin, Stacy Mar row got a crash course in the field of law Right: Jusette Spence clowns around with her little buddy as pan of her child care training.

Jackson What do you want to be when you grow up? This is a question that students are often asked. Some have an answer to this question and some don’t. For those who have an answer, there is most likely a vocational education class that will prepare them for their career choice. For those who don’t have an answer, there is most likely a vocational education class that will give them a better understanding of certain careers and help them decide on a career to pursue. The health occupational class provides an excellent opportunity for students to learn about different occupations in the health field. The shop class helps students learn the basics in mechanics and related fields. The office occupations classes make students familiar with office equiptment and office duties. The agriculture classes satisfy the interest of the Future Farmers of America. So, if you are not sure whether you want to be a doctor, a secretary, or a farmer, the vocational education classes at Northeastern will certainly give you an idea of what you want to do w hen you grow up.

Academics — 63 You finally wake up from a short catnap, as you peek through one of your tired, heavy eyes. You are drowsy and your vision is blurred. You look around and all you can see is seven or more digit numbers; you hear mumbled words about fractions and equations sounding like, if P equals a man driving a truck and Q equals a chicken crossing the road, then how many seconds will it take for P to subtract Q and how many feathers will be lost on initial impact? Long words that end in — ology are scribbed on the board and the smell of formaldehyde lingers in the air. You are startled by the clanging of beakers in the back lab. You feel a sharp, pointy finger dig into your shoulder and an educated, monotone voice says, Do you expect to sleep through the whole class, MISTER? You frown because you realize you are not in the comfort of your own warm bed, cuddled up watching MTV, but sitting in a seemingly endless enigma, most people refer to as Science and Math! But the seemingly endless enigma does come to an end, and whether you liked it or not, all of the long, hard-working hours of reading, listening and learning will pay off in the future. 64 — Academics Mr Fonvillc sighed as he looks over his tesr grades from his last class Jason Wood isse and Jeff Roberts play blow football to explain Newtons first law of motion.

If you took a poll at Northeastern High School and asked what was your favorite class, most students would say Physical Education, if they are taking it. Physical Education is the one class in which you are not graded on tests or research papers. You are graded on whether or not you dress out in proper attire, shorts and tee-shirt, and participation in whatever your PE class is doing. With the addition of the ninth grade students at NHS, the gymnasium is more crowded than ever before. At times, five PE classes can be in our gym at once. That could be as many as 120 students sharing two locker rooms and one gym. It was hard at the beginning of the year, but it seems as though the teachers have worked it out and things have begun to run smoothly. The ninth grade students, taught by Ms. Bobbie Gill and Mr. Herman Little, teach their classes Health 12 days straight and physical education 18 days straight. The health classes cover all the body system The question of whether or not to teach sex education in school has been a question brought up throughout the country and though it may not be mandatory in our school system, Ms. Gill does cover sex education in her health class. Physical Education covers many different sports and exercise. Weight training, calisthenics, seasonal sports, and the Presidential Physical Fitness Test are all part of our schools PE classes. Weight- lifting is taught in one class by Coach Tom Merritt. The class concentrates on building the body by weightlifting and vigorous exercise. Recreational PE, taught by Mr. Jim Brinson, usually has 12th graders in its class and are in the gym every day doing their exercise and playing their sports. The PE classes at NHS are conducted well and give everyone a chance to participate without sitting in a desk. 66 — Academics Duane While gives ii all his might to get the lift just right.

Yearbook is not a class — it's a job. Things get started in mid-August when we come out to school and help with senior portraits. Then, before we know it our first deadline is only days away. All copy has to be written and typed on the computer, layouts must be drawn to perfection on Quad-Paks, pictures are cropped and stamped and after everything is checked, we ship it to Taylor Publishing Company. Sounds easy, right? Let s not kid ourselves. Do you realize how much work went into putting this yearbook together?! When you were sitting at home Friday afternoon stuffing your face with Cheez-Doodles contemplating your fun-filled, carefree weekend, we were still at school identifying 50,000 under- classmen and trying to put them in order. Or — Remember that Saturday night when you were cruzin’ past the school and thought you saw cars out front and lights in the building? No, you weren't hallucinating, it was a select few of the Big Squeezers — those gluttons for punishment working dilegently to guarantee their places in the ranks of yearbook martyrdom. Desperately trying to retrieve sixty pages of copy that had been lost in the realms of the computer — the day before a deadline, we were simultaneously being briefed for a major test in Senior English Comp that was to take place second thing the next morning. And you thought standing in the cafeteria line for five minutes was a life altering experience?! Can you imagine sitting down to dinner at 10:30 p.m. with only a stale bag of pretzels and a diet Minute-Maid orange soda to divide up between four ill, hunger-raged bodies?

Most jobs require you to type, file, and have a working knowledge of most machines. Fortunately, Northeastern is well-equipped to satisfy the basic business needs with such subjects as typing 1 and 11, office occupations 1 and 11, accounting 1 and 11, record keeping, business law, shorthand 1 and 11, introduction to computers, business communi- cations, and data processing 1 and 11 All of these courses give and explain the basic outline of business. Each course then elaborates on its particular subject. Typing develops keyboarding skill. Students type all forms of letters and charts. This course emphasizes the fact that typing, in a sense, is a tool for communication. Office occupations puts the students in an office situation. Students are given a working knowledge of different machines and public relations. To accent this, studenrs in their senior year, are allowed to work through the co-op program. Accounting class is designed to prepare an understanding of payroll, taxes, business trans- actions, and data processing. Record keeping clarifies most clerical ac- counting skills. This class deals with fundamental aspects of banking, sales, and purchases. Business law is an introduction to common legal principals. Students leave with a general knowledge of the origin and development of law, contracts, and business relationships. Introduction to computers and data processing is desinged to provide information on computer science and its applecation in the business world. In this ever- changing world of technology, business skills will always be helpful in securing a future. Its always nice to know that schools such as North- eastern will lend a hand. As if this wasn't enough. Northeastern is privilaged enough to have its own television station, WNHS. WNHS is the only High School communications broadcasting class in North Car- olina. This class allows students to film neighborhood events such as River Spree, parades, talent shows, special classes, ball games, and guest speakers like David Toma and Mrs. Bias. In the future, the class hopes to add a mobil unit much like a Live at Five and maybe cable coverage.

Their activities began before the opening of school. They sponsored an orientation for incoming freshmen and new students to the area. This ori- entation was an opportunity for the new stu- dent to fa- m i 1 i a r i ze himself with rules and regulations and also the NHS com- plex. Student Council held regular meetings for homeroom repre- sentatives and officers to come together and organize the many activities that they held during the year. Among these activities was the voting and revision of the school constitution. Home- coming parade, dance and spirit contests. They also held a Thanksgiving food drive for the needy as well as a toys for tots drive at Christmas. Student Council was not all work. This was proved at the 2nd annual variety show, w'here students displayed their various talents. The Council also held two in- structional seminars at NHS. The first seminar, entitled Striving for Success was held in the fall. The second sem- inar was held in the spring. Members of the community were asked to act as host families for visitors from other regions in North Car- olina who were participating in the semi- n a r .

Each week the members of the team go head to head with fac- ulty members to test their knowledge in mock contests. In this way they arc prepared for their real matches. In the dis- trict competition held at Manteo, Northeastern won without losing any of the matches in double elimination. They go to regional competition March 12th held at the Eliz- abeth City coun house. Not on- ly do the members have to work hard once they get on the team, but they also had to compete to be a member. Each of the mem- bers had to take two tests before they were selected as members based on their scores. The mem- bers of this years team were: Veteran members, Mark Grif- fin, Jerry Goldschmidt, Matt DelGarbino and Neil Dunlow. New Members to the team were: Mac Dunn, Kevin Hib- bard, Jacelyn Hudson, and Eric Stephens. Making sure that if they won the regionals and could go to state competition, the team sponsored an adult competition in a Knowledge Bowl held in Northeastern's cafeteria. The com- munity came out to support our team with such partici- pants as the S.W.A.G.’s, Little Women, Salt and Pepper, Stocks and Blondes, The Grateful Med, The Rich (Co.) and Famous, Curritanks, Twisted Teachers + One Straight One, The Motley Crew and the winners of the competiton, Coleman's Riffraff. Following along in the ac- ademic excellence of the Quiz Bowl, the Math Club also de- manded a lot from its members. Students were selected to be in the Math Club based on their advanced math scores and they had to maintain an average throughout the year above a C.

Cheerleading involves not only many hours of practice each week but these ath- letes are also responsible for selling ads for the football program, conducting organ- ized pep rallies, as well as sup- porting school and commu- nity activities. The Varsity squad began their season by participating in the Esprit Cheerleading Clinic held at Northeastern during the summer. They learned cheers, chants, and ex- citing stunts to dazzle the crowd. They also learned to be leaders on and off the court. Afterwards, the cheerleaders held their own summer cheer- leading camp for youngsters who were interested in being future cheerleaders.

Many try out for cheerleading to gen- erate crowd appeal. For some, their talent is the dance. Entertaining crowds is their way of communi- cating. With this, comes a certain amount of responsi- bility. What song is avail- able, danceable, or feasible? What moves would generate a positive re- sponse from the crowd? The Pom-Pon Squad is con- stantly asking these questions and have done so effectively with such routines as 'Wipe Out,' 'Move the Crowd, You Got the Look,” and Pump up the Volume. No matter the level of difficulty, the Pom-Pon Squad shone with a certain in- candescence. The Pom-Pon Squad has been asked to shine at many events such as football games and basketball games.

The purpose of the S.A.D.D program is to organize students from across the country to com- bat with one of the major killers of their age group — death, due to drinking and driving. The Pep Club participated in var- ious activities.They went to many of the basketball games, they also sponsored the yearly- spirit chain competition which is a fund raiser to help buy gifts. for the Homecoming Queens, and they also brought shirts with their club name on them. S.A.D.D ed- ucates students concerning the problem of drinking and driving and helps each student become aware of the alcohol problem as it exists on the local, state and na- tional levels.

The team competes in district competition and if the team does well they advance to the state championship competion in Kinston, North Car- olina In the past years the team has never failed to proceed to the state championship competition.

Students were working hard, as usual to help raise money for the DE- CA competition in Char- lotte, which takes place dur- ing March. Other goals of the club class included a marketing banquet for em- ployees, and a field trip for senior DECA members. For those who are inter- ested in what goes on in DE- CA, it encompasses Market- ing Education, and a program of co-operative ed- ucation spanning from school to student to employ- er, in which possible career training takes place. This of- fers a wide range of expe- rience in such positions as cashier, stock room ordering and receiving, merchandise display and various other jobs which the students take pan in. Also along the lines of useful knowledge, the En- gineering and Technology club has acquired for their use in learning, six new computers, along with a new' classroom and enough equipment to finally bring to reality the long awaited completion of WNHS, our own on campus television station. Among the many possible func- tions of the new' hardware, probably the most often used machines would be the com- puters. Specifically the pro- grams for mechanical and ar- chitectural drawing and design, very similar to the ones used in the quickly growing field of computer blueprinting. Mr. Dunlow and Mr. Eichler were once again the advisors of the Engineering and Technol- ogy club. However, they took on a larger task than was ex- pected with the club more than tripling in size since last year. Logic would predict that this great increase in members w'as largely due to the great number of new students coming to NHS. But whatever the reason, one thing is certain, the club can definitely look foreward to pro- ductive future for all of its par- ticipants.

Anne White formed the Non-Traditional Career Club which informed students that just about any ca- reer was open for them to pur- sue. The idea that only males could drive tractors or be mechanics or that only girls could be nurses was not they sign of the times anymore. They explored unusual and different career choices, brought in speakers from engineering, management and medical professions. The sky was the limit for career choices in this club. Following a more traditional” approach, Aleene Davis' club. Career Awareness, found that trips to the Coast Guard Base inspired students to think about Uncle Sam as an occupation, and this too was not lust for the guys Girls in the 80 s lound that traveling and working for the government could also be rewarding. If the members of the club did not move in this direction, then other students could when the Career Awareness Club spon- sored Army Career Day. Ex- hibits and information were dis- played in the gym and the student body could view the materials during the day. Speakers from the community also came to talk to the club members hoping to inspire them to take a direction in a profession. I f none of these ideas in- spired students, they might have found their inspiration in the Psychology Club. Here students were exposed to the hows and whys of the mind from child- birth to adulthood. They dis- cussed issues they were now im- portant to the 80 s teen-ager and how these issues related to their own life experience and how issues have changed over the years Using films and speakers, these students knew more about the workings of their minds and behaviors as well as those of others, by Stacy Marrow Photos B Boyer Mrs. Watoski, Lon Bullock, Glenda White, Sharon Jester, and Sonja Wilborg seem thoroughly engrossed in their guests speaker's talk on sign language at right The Career Awareness Club 1987-1988 Organizations Typically all male, the Voca- tional-Industrial Clubs got down and dirty in pursuit of the skills necessary to make a living in the job market of today. Who can imagine a man who does not like to ' tinker'' with his car, take wood and build, weld pipes together or just plain spend his hard-earned money on a night on the town with his girl? Well, the VICA and ICT Clubs made sure that all of the members got to do just that. Billy Bray had his automobiles humming a tunc after the members sparked and plugged them, finely tuned them and polished them to a shine. Fan belts, carborators and transmis- sions were no problem for this finely-tuned ' club. Hammers, nails and preci- sion cut angles all fell together for the carpentry club. Handy- men, they were willing and ready to help anybody repair, build or create cabinets, book- shelves or just about anything. The same held true for D. Stal- lings Metal Club. Working on the job, ICT members found their niche in the community job market. Sammy Kramer kept tabs on them as they learned the skills required in working with the public. Elizabeth City merchants were willing to give these teen-agers the opportunity to make wages in their commer- ical businesses Making money was never a bad idea for the young men in ICT. There was always gas to buy, burgers to eat and girls to date, and in this case, they also learned that money does not last forever.

At school, the members built a Grinch for their Christ- mas float which won them an award; designed and painted murials on classroom walls, made the backdrops for the high school play, Grease , had groups working for the Special Olympics by making and sell- ing decorative tiles. In other ac- tivities that helped out the Spe- cial Olympics, members like David Pureza and Jenny Jack- son made banners and signs. As a fund raising activity, Ma- ry Ann Romm and her club held their annual auction in the high school cafeteria with Red Barber and Guy Williams as the autioneers.

Rock n Roll was alive and well at Sheep auditorium as these greasers Andy Curtice, Matthew Jordy, Ben Palis, and Brooks Boyer brought the house down in a rendition of Greased Lightening. No stranger and no more ex- citing creature can exist in this world than the American teen- ager. He is a mass of contra- dictions, and yet his contribu- tions to the political, musical and social development of his country is immense This was the subject of the North- eastern Play- house musi- cal this year in the form of Grease.'' It was the American teen-ager at his funniest, clumsiest and smartest. Here was found themes of love, education, friendship and jealousy. Under the direction of Betty Dunn, Grease took to the stage March 18th and 19th to the delight of the audience. Teen- agers playing teen-agers only heightened the humor of the play and such talents as Jeff Robeas (Roger), Andy Cuaice (Sonny) and Julie Riley (Frenchy) hamming up their parts in this spoof' had the audience applauding and laugh- ing. Bert Palis (Danny) and Britt Biggs (Sandy) were per- fectly cast as the leads. Using their talents they combined na- ivety, humor and song to give the play a strong foundation. Brooks Boyer (Kenickie) and Jen Teckaucic (Rizo) balanced each other in acting the tough guys in the play using that greaser” accent to its ful- lest, and their songs highlighted the action of the play Matthew Jordy (Doody) had just the right touch of innocence that he brought to the stage as did Kel- ly McKenzie (Jan). Sherri Jen- nings (Miss Lynch) poarayed the old school marm to per- fection as well as Ed Armstrong kept his character, Eugene, be- lievable. Katherine Sweeney (Patty) also was cast well as the overly enthusiastic cheerleader, a typical stereotype in any high school set- ting, even ole Rydell Leigh Sand- ers (Cha- Cha) wowed the audience in her dance routine with Palis. Sable Rendon-Mayes had just the right amount of sophistication in the character of Marty. And what would a high school in the 50's be like if it didn't have that old rock and roll music. Lead by Patrick Carroll (Johnny Casino) the stage was a dancing festival of rock and roll steps as Carroll bellowed out Hand Jive. Under the musical di- rection of Joan Frazier, these teen-agers found out that sing- ing was an intrical pan of the play's plot line and sometimes not as easy thing to do. But the cast stuck with it and came across with some of the best sung songs by any musical pro- gram. Their dancing (choreographed by Judy Boyer) sometimes stunned the audi- ence and sometimes made them laugh, but together with the acting, and singing Grease was truly a lightening produc- tion. Adding their special touches and their time were Adam Ivey, assistant director; Vicki Thomas, lights; Cindy Pritchard, student director and all of the students who found the time to be extras.

The lady Eagles had a long and hard fought sea- son.Their overall re- cord in the Big East Conference was three wins and nine losses. The Eagles played well in all different types of weather. A few home games they played in the rain and mud. Jenny Jackson was the lead- ing scorer and was voted all con- ference. The team's goalie was Bonita Tunnell, she was also all conference.The all conference hon- orable mentions were half-back, Peggy Mueller and full-back, Micki McEver.

Mills For the first time in 9 years the Varsity Eagles baseball team pulled out on top with an overall record of 10-9 in the Big East Conference. This was made possible with great pitching from Tom Ward and Randy Jacobs. The Eagles also had a strong defense to back up the pitchers. When asked how he felt about the season. Coach David Brinson said, We could have won a few more games, but yes, we did play good ball at times.” Weak hitting was the downfall for the team with Merritt Hooper and Lawrence Winslow being the consistent batters. This still didn't stop the Eagles from being very competitive in their conference. They were the team to beat when they showed their opponents that they could win four straight games and play without committing er- rors. The fourth game straight that the Eagles won was against Cam- den. Randy Jacobs was the win- ning pitcher in that game, and Lawrence Winslow and Jody Gor- don had two hits each and Jody Williams had a triple. Against Edenton the winning pitcher was Stanley Griffin who also hit a home run in that game. The rest of the team played excellent ball against Edenton as this was the second straight game that there were nc errors committed. Mike Joyner and Randy Jacobs were also hitters dur- ing the season that opponent pitch- ers had to get by. The overall sea- son gave fans something to cheer about, and the players something to be proud of.

Caught in Center field The Eagles showed their stuff this baseball season with several wins to their favor. Such examples are games like the one against Edenton with a score of 13-3. Although the team had a couple of tough games they still showed through with style. Lots of it. Throughout all games the J.V. team played with finesse and a mechanical rhythm that w ould be unsurpassed by other teams unequal in skill. Green and white uniforms passed the plate several times this season earning them a reputable place on the bill- board.The losses were not great though the wins were. The team tried extremely hard throughout the season. Most considered the season a stepping stone for many successful years to follow. It was a learning year for the Eagles with an overall record of 6 and 12. The team was made up of fresh- men and sophomores who played well together as they sharpened their skills on the field. Donnie Wooten and Jason Pipkin, both freshmen, played catcher and short stop respectively. The rest of the infield consisted of first base, Jeff Simpson; second base, Glen Gil- son; third base, Glen Colson. The outfield consisted of Brian Web- ster, Kevin Williams, and Aaron Williams.

J.V Baseball — 121 Suchy Leads Team to Even Season by Tracy Meads photos: B. Boyer The saying, When you're hot you’re hot, when you're not you’re not, was ail true for the Lady Eagles this year. The first of the season the record was 3-4 and at the last of the season the record was 4-3. Either they were playing great defense and not hitting at all, or they were playing great defense and hitting just good enough to pull the game out at the very end. The end of the season, they were just getting into the swing of things and the Lady Eagles were winning by a considerable margin. The Lady Eagles were fortunate enough to have three pitchers. Lisa Byrum, the starting pitcher. pitched through a lot of hard wind. Many of the teams that the Eagles came up against went through two and three pitchers a game because they couldn’t get the ball across the plate against the wind. Also a great defense-a consistent defense, was a major factor in the overall season. Only two seniors graduated, so the upcoming season should be a good one for the Northeastern girls as the team will have the benefit of experienced players who might lead the Eagles to the state play- offs. 122 — Softball : A 4'fi ffl rail « i A • . � D - v 1 . 51 . 1 H'wne Game Opponent 1 13 Fdenton 14 I 3 Plymouth 0 1 ' Plymouth 4 1 1 Fike 9 1 16 Hunt 3 1 9 Kinston 10 1 1 Northern Nash 12 1 9 Rocky Mount 3 1 13 Beddingfield 3 1 3 Greenville 6 1 6 Fike 7 1 9 Hunt 7 I 13 Kinston 12 i K Northern Nash 17 1 13 Rocky Mount 6 i 8 Beddingfield 9 I 12 Greenville 3 Team picture, from left to right top row.

Rapcr. Williams Track and field is by far one of the most complex and involved sports. Just a few of the events competed in are the 400 meter relay, 2 mile and 1 mile runs long jump, triple jump, hurdles, sprint, shot put, discus throw and pole vault. Most of these events are competed in by both boys and girls at Northeastern, and at any given track meet, it looks much like Olympic competition. This year with both effort and dedication the boys and the girls pulled together under the coaching of Paul Winslow, Hartsfield and Little and won many of their meets and broke school records. Going to the regionals for the boys' Track Team were Steve Price for the long and the triple jump; Mackie Pritchard went for the hurdles and Rudolph Hassell went in the 400 meter dash. The Most Valuable Player s award went to Mackie Pritchard, Coach's Award went to Troy Reid and the Earl Jackson Award went to Rudolph Hassell. Going to the regionals for the Girls’ Track were Tracie Franklin in the 220 and the 100 meter dash, Alisa Robinson for long jump and Charlotte Davis in the high jump and the triple jump. Tracie Franklin won first in the 100 meter dash and Davis received fourth in the high jump. MVP Award went to Tracie Franklin and the Coach's Award went to Charlotte Davis, who broke her own high jump record of 5 foot 2 inches with a jump of 5 foot 2 and one-half.

Photos: Purcza By Larry Hale 128 — Golf The golf team at full swing The season would not be consid- ered very successful in terms of wins and losses but it did prove to be a great learning experience and a building block for this years up- coming team. The team was fairly young and inexperienced with four new players and only one senior. Steve Umphlett was definitely the teams best player with the lowest season average. A four year let- terman who acted not only as the star of the team but also as some- what of a coach to the four new players. Sophomore Craig Um- phlett was the teams second lowest terms of golf scoring. Juniors Manty Surface, Augie Etheridge, and Drew Anderton filled in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th spots. Sopho- more Anna Young and Junior, Ron Turlington both first year players, alternated for 6th spot. Sophomore K.C. Kurtz and Junior David Pureza both first year players rounded out the rest of the team. Each match consisted of the top six players completing w-ith only the four lowest scores counting. The teams season average was 359. Golf — 129 McCullum showed why he was the number one rusher this season. Brooks gained many yards to be the teams second highest rusher Effort Part of the Game The Northeastern Eagles had many problems triumph over them and keep them from having a winning season on the football field. Al- though the team showed alot of effort and hard work, the breaks never seemed to go their way. Many times the goals that were set for the team. The team was united together throughout the season the way a team should be. The ground game was great with Troy Mc- Cullum the teams leading rusher having 853 yards. Line Brooks, the second leading rusher, had 610 yards. The passing game was really the problem on both sides of the ball. They really never could get a passing game going on offense, and the pass coverage on defense also had its problems. Two Sophomores started at the corners, which was one of the defensive troubles. They did a good job but just did not have enough experience. The sea- son ended at 3-7 for the Eagles. Although it was not a winning season, the team was backed with alot of effort from everyone. One of the largest things that needs to be taken into consideration is that the Eagles had a rough schedule. Three of th eteams that beat them went to the state playoffs, and that shows alot because the Eagles largest lost of the year was only by 21 points. Another big factor in the way that the season w'ent was to many high expectations. For the last couple of years people have been saying that when this person and that person gets to be juniors and seniors wc have the best team ever. One of the worst things that can happen is putting to much pressure on a foot- ball team. So despite all of the problems the season didn’t go that bad and we are all looking forward to a more experienced team next year. 130 — Varsity Football by Larry Hale Photus Jim Reid Varsity Football — 131 fju Mi-’ 'Uc nave |U« a little more effort and leaped (of the completed paw Team Pictured L To R 1st row-Jeff Rob- erts, David Mullen.

The 'baby eagles'' as you might have called them were very successful in moving the ball and in coming up with the right plays when they were needed on defense. The team showed a lot of high spirited reactions in many dif- ferent siuations that they encoun- tered during the games. Once at a game in Rocky Mount suddenly a fight broke out on the field. Then the whole bench on our side of the field went to the aid of their fellow teammates. Actually, this shows that the team was bonded together as a team on and off the field. Led by the head coach Woody McDaniels the teams record was 5 wins, 4 losses, and I tie. The train- ers for this years team were Shae Rackstraw and Renae Copeland. We are proud of our team for carrying on the winning tradition of Northeastern and we wish them g(K d luck throughout the rest of their football years. Baby Eagles cleared the bench!

A “Kicker” The 1987 season was the boys' soccer teams sixth year in the Big East conference. This year's team faced versatile opponents, some challenging all of the teams efforts to gain a win, while others were easy prey for the Eagle kickers. The record at the end of the season was 11-3-1, leaving the boys one-half of a game from winning the conference. The Ea- gles lost their only games to Greenville Rose, 0-1; Wilson Hunt, 0-1; and the Newbem Bears, 1-3. In the Newbem game the Eagles lost a hard fought game in overtime.

The top three scorers for the Eagles were Jason Wooddisse with 13 goals and 7 assists, Keith Morris with 12 goals and 6 assists and Kiley Hanford with 9 goals and 5 assists. Jody Gordon also helped with scoring goals but also helped in defending the goal. Several games, Gordon played the position of goalie for an injured Patrick Carroll. For the whole season, starting goalie, Patrick Carroll, had 130 saves and back-up goalie, Jody Gordon, had 57 saves. The Eagles went the fartherest this season than any preceeding team, in conference wins and in scoring goals at state competition.

In August, there was still question as to who would coach the team, but even after re- tiring from Northeastern last year, Mrs. Payne came back to see the girls through another year. The sea- son starts for the teammm on Au- gust 15, with two practices a day. Once in the morning from 9:(X) to 1 1:00, and then an evening prac- tice fromm 6:30 to 8:00. The big- gest rivals are Greenville and Fike. Greenville has always had a good, strong team and this year proved to be no different. Fike w'as a strong team, but it was various individ- uals and not the whole team being strong. Looking at the record shows that there was defmately improve- ment individually and teamw ise in the second half of the season. Coach Payne was proud of the team pleased w ith the overall turn- out of the season. The attitude and effort of the team was just excellent, were Coach Payne's de- scription of the girls. The 1987-88 tennis team consisted of 4 seniors, 3 being in the top six, 5 juniors, three also being in the top six, and there were 3 sophomores and 2 freshmen on the team.

Matt DelGarbino, Jeff Simpson, and Byron Tobon. by: Caroline Tatum Larry Hale 138 — Cross Country Running Tough Over The Turf Plaguing the Boys' Cross Country this year were a lot of injuries that kept them from achieving a win- ning season on the field. The many hours of practice after school and personal running on weekends did not help the boys as knees were injured and stomach cramps on the running field interfered with win- ning times and competitive per- sonal best rewards. Overall, the cross country team finished 3-4 in the conference, but Byron Tolson even though he had a tough time with stomach cramps, finished first at the rcgionals in Chapel Hill. This was Tolson's best run of the season. David Chamblee was the only runner to make first team all- conference. At the Awards Banquet Tolson was awarded the Coach's Award and Chamblee was awarded the Most Outstanding Runner by Coach Jim Williams. Williams commented on Tolson that he believed that Tolson would be a much better runner next year as a Senior and believed that he would continue to be in one of the top five spots on the team. On Chamblee, Williams said that he was a very intense, serious athlete as well as a concerned student. He also believed that Chamblee would be a great asset to the runners next year as a Senior. He wras also im- pressed with Adrian Baker who came in fifth at the conference meet in the second heat and was award- ed a trophy for his effort. The team was a young team and all but three will be returning next year. If they had not have been plagued with illness and injury the boys would have achieved a much better re- cord. According to Williams the boys had a tough time over the turf this year, but he is definately ex- pecting this young team to train over the summer and come back strong and healthy next year.

I think that I did pretty well considering it was my first year. — Tami Landers After a long run, Denise Gregory took a minute to catch her breath and cool down. A Step Ahead Of The Rest by Tabitha Stoklcy and Kcma Hilts Photos Purcza Have you ever cried co run co catch your bus? Have you ever been seen running from a dog? Does it seem like you're always running to get the phone? Compare that to how much the Girls Cross Country ran this year. Everyday after school you could find the girls working out, and if you looked around you could probably find one or two dedicated runners practicing on the weekends. Their hard work and determi- nation did pay off. Not only did the team take the conference cham- pionship, but Paige Simpson and Tracy Stokley went on to the re- gional competition. Simpson broke her own record this season and Stokley broke Simpson s record by over a minute. Coach Jim Wil- liams lauded Stokley, She's the best runner to have ever been at Northeastern . Tracy fared well at the regionals and was the only one to qualify for the state competition in Charlotte, N.C. Nursing a knee injury and an illness at the competition, Simpson did not fare as well, but she was still most valuable player, having shown consistency and leadership on the team for three years. Stokley took home the coaches' award for her outstanding performance dur- ing the season. By maintaining a positive ai titude and their drive to succeed, the team proved that they had the right stuff needed to make a win- ning team. The girls never felt the agony of defeat', having had a perfect 6-0 season and more im- portantly, they learned that their cooperation and teamwork made for a successful season. 140 — Girls' Cross Country The team not only ran away with a perfect 6-0 season, but also with the conference championship.

The ball bounces up and down and that's exactly how the season was for the Varsity Basketball Team. The team began the year with two pre-season scrimmages against In- dian River High School and All- American Alonzo Mourning. The home game packed the gym with almost 2,200 people to witness a throw down” between Mourning and our own All-American, Kenny Williams. But since the two played different positions they never ac- tually went head to head. The Braves outscored us on our home lurf but we in turn outscored them in the closed scrimmage in their gym. With an overall record of 14- 8, the team showed the ball was mostly bouncing up! The team was 8-6 in the conference, but took first place over the opposing teams of Cox, Kempsville, and Potomac High Schools in the Norfolk Cath- olic Christmas Tournament. The ball was down in the two con- ference games against the Hines brothers of Wilson Fike but ream captain Kelsey Brown and Kenny Williams led the team through with tough play. The team was well rounded with Kenny Williams and Kelsey Brown leading the scor- ing and big men, Kenny Williams and Terrance Randolph blocking shots on the defensive end. No one on this team sat the bench. Coaches Carl Harris and Eddie Ingram played everyone including fresh- man Daniel Everett who fans cafi look forward to watching for thret more years. In the final game of the season against rival Greenville Rose, Kenny Williams had the b« game of his career. He was 13 f® 16 from the floor with 44 points 1 14 rebounds and 5 blocked shoes The season definitely ended with the ball bouncing up. 144 — Varsity Basketball Kmny lumped up to make a perfect shut The team displayed looks of sheer happiness after winning the tournament at Norfolk Catholic. 1988 Basketball team Manager.

Alexander Ricketts, Odessa Wil- liams Mark Richards, Marvin Mouring lended their time to help this years team. According to Coach Norfleet, a number of fac- tors contributed to this successful season. Some of these factors in- cluded hard work and the ded- ication on the part of each member of the team, cooperation of school officials and parents, a supportive booster club, and prayer. Coach Norfleet stated that the door to success has a very small opening. A team must solidfy as a unit on and off the playing floor in order to pass through this small opening. Moore the center for this years team made a high percentage of his foul shots this year. 146 — J.V Basketbad Pictured here is the J.V.

Buyer Making a comeback was the name of the game this year for the Girls' Basketball team. With a record of 1-18 last year, the Eagle girls did a quick tum-around at the beginning of the season with 9 straight vic- tories. Coach Spence attributed their winning start with a lot of hard work and enthusiasm on the pan of the whole team. They were willing to listen and to learn new ideas and techniques, said Coach Spence. But, that was not the end of it Spence said that the girls were so delighted with their 9 straight wins because of its vast improve- ment over last year that they got content. With that contentment came 5 straight losses. It had to be back to the grind again, and the girls started to work and sweat hard again. Even though they were the smallest team in the conference, with only one girl 6 feet, they made up for it in their determination to make this a winning season. After being defeated twice by Bed- dingfield. the Lady Eagles defeated them in conference play-offs. With 8 players always in rotation on the courts, the team played as a team and made the greatest comeback with Terri James leading the field in top scoring. The starting line-up consisted of Terri James, Tracy Riddick, Jada Gramby, Juantisa Brown and Tami Landers. Natisha Norfleet also was a top player and shared the handling of the ball with Tami Landers. Juantisa Brown liked to shoot those 3 point- ers and Terri James was always good for a swish of the net. They went into the conference play-offs with a 13 7 record, the best that the Lady Eagles have done in many years. In his second year as the coach of these ladies. Coach Chris Spence said that he got really ex- cited over the progress and the en- thusiasm of this year's team. He will only be losing two seniors next year and will have returning 12 veteran players. He thinks that next year will be even better than this one, if that is possible. Each game was an experience in itself and bus driver, Ben Harney, made sure that the trips home were quick and fun as well.

Northeastern High School Wres- tlers may not use these moves but the action is just as intense. In pro wrestling the injuries disappear when the wrestlers leave the ring, but at NHS people really do get hurt Russell Kepler, at a home match against Plymouth, tried to do a switch, resulting in a broken elbow . He later pinned his oppo- nent in the third period. Later in the season at the conference toume- ment, Russell broke his elbow again when he got illegally slamed, his opponent got disquallified and Russell won. NHS wrestling team may not have names like; Rick Flair, Hulk Hoggan, or Dusty Rhodes, but they have tough wres- tlers like; Andre Nicco,Mark Mar- shall, Russel Kepler, Derek Ward, Robbie Walton, Nelson Brown, and James Bean. They also have promising talent for the future with freshmen and sophomores like; Charles Grahm, Aaron Miller, Delton Billups, Clark Perry, Sinatra Brothers, Randy Meadows, Ben Winslow, William Davis Evertte Larabee, and Jack Trueblood. Dr. John Cook, coach, played an im- portant roll in developing this tal- ent by two and a half hours of push-ups, running, and drills for everybody, at practice. With good physcial conditions and tough out- look on things, the NHS wrestling team put fear throughout the con- ference. The NHS team with a 15- 5 record may not have the gimics or the glitter, but certainly have the guts!

This years swim coach is Mary Mueller. The team had a lot of support from the Jun- iors of last years team. They are Peggy Mueller, Micki and Meg McEver, and Kristie Eadie. A new swimmer became pan of the Ea- gles team and his name is Lee Daugherty. He turned out very well for this years team spotting many wins for the Eagles. Two team members qualified for the regionals, junior Mac Dunn and senior Micki McEver. The Eagles are going to lose a lot of good swimmers after this year due to the large number of seniors graduating, but next years team should turn out as good or even better than this years team. The team has their meets in Greenville, Goldsboro, and Eliz- abeth City. When the Eagles do have a swim meet in Elizabeth City, they swim at Elizabeth City State University. Each team mem- ber competes in four events. The events are freestyle, the butterfly, the back stroke, and the breast stroke. The guys and girls swim separately from each other unless there are not enough people to have a good heat, and then guys and girls compete against each other. All team members have to join the Elizabeth City Acquatics Club be- fore they are able to swim for the high school team. Overall this season the North- eastern Eagles' swim team finished second place behind Greenville Rose in the Big East Conference. Swimming — 153 Let Us Entertain You! bv lulic Rikv Photos, Bovcr. Reid Seeing Kenny Williams at a bas- ketball game slam-dunk a ball was the normal order of the day. After all, that’s what most people came to see — good basketball. To eve- ryone’s delight not only did they get good basketball, they were also treated to an a cappella Star Span- gled Banner in perfect harmony and some jamming music. This special entertainment was provided by the NHS Chorus and the Pep Band. The Chorus, directed by Joan Frazier, put together musical talent with school spirit to form a Special combination. Along with singing the ’Star Spangled Banner’’ at most of the basketball games, they gave two concerts, one at Christmas and one in the spring. A special treat for the Chorus this year was a trip to see the Kings Singers in Greenville. The Pep Band was made up mostly of students in the top chairs of the band. Headed by Damon Mills, student director, the pep band played not only for school functions but for community events as well. They participated in Music in our Schools Week by entertaining the children at Central Elementary School. The Special Olympics was livened up by the popular tunes the band played, enticing some of the participants to dance between races. It's always nice to know you have support, and this year, that's what the Chorus and Pep Band pro- vided. 154 — Chorus and Pep Band From Left Page clockwise: At the Christmas concert Joan Frazier's concert chorus delighted the audience with their range of vocal talent.

I’ve got to be on my way — — Boston H7 When the graduating class of 1988 stepped through the front doors of Northeastern High School three years ago, we could not have imagined that what seemed to be an endless road of pep rallies, report cards, and magazine sales, would so quickly become a fading mem- ory as we walked across the stage in caps and gowns. And, as we begin to recall what has been most important to us at North- eastern — who has instructed us, whom we have trusted, and whom we have admired — one person, in particular stands out from the crowd. Through literature she has ex- posed us to the world and to others. Through writing she has shown us how to be our true selves, and take pride in it. She has presented us with a ded- ication and concern that goes be- yond the call of duty.” She has exhibited an understanding and perceptiveness that makes us think of her as “one of us.” And, we, in turn, have felt a love that words cannot express.” But, time passes, sometimes too quickly, and things that were once important become virtually insignificant. And, although years from now, we will have forgotten who started the cafete- ria food fight, who never re- turned from open lunch, or who scored the winning touch- down in the homecoming football game, one thing is for certain: we will remember her. For, as teacher, advisor, or friend, she has truly touched all our lives, and become a part of us. Because in showing us how dif- ferent we truly are from one an- other, you have brought us closer together, we dedicate this book and a little piece of our- selves to you: Judith Huston Boyer “Great teachers are usually a little crazy.” — Andy Rooney 158 Spirit tAe cvcUf you CiAc itf By: Rhonda Allen and Brenda Weeks It is tradition in most high schools to os- tracize new underclassmen. It was no different with us when we entered the green and gold halls of Northeastern High School. The '85 Seniors thought that they could ridicule us, call us the baby eagles!'' Much to their surprise, we ended up winning the annual homecoming spir- it contest they expected to win. Luck? No, we won by using our vast number to convey our sense of pride and our ability to work together. As Juniors, we were still classed as 'baby eagles'. This time it seemed a little better since we were no longer hatchlings but adolescents ready to try our wings. We were starting to make a name for ourselves and winning the spirit contest for the second year had allowed us even more fame. When walking through the halls for the last time, we realized that it still wasn't over. At the homecoming pep rally, our ability to maintain a steady flow of pride clinched our third victory in the spirit contest and also the spirit chain-links Our togetherness hyper-activity, and sponta- neous talent proved that the Class of '88 has SPIRIT THE WAY YOU LIKE IT, HOT- TOO-HOT! 160 — Seniors lltrUn Allen AU� jiuI«i KImhU (� uil All«n Windy Sthetle Alk-n Kittuni Henry Amo Liu

Boyer As kids, all we dreamed about was getting older so we could have more and do more. Fantasizing about high school was the most imponant thing in our young lives. But when we got to Northeastern getting out became our goal. We realized, the fun w'asn't in the Scarlet Letter or Canterbury Tales, and it wasn't in convening grams to moles or cal- culating the heat of reaction. Even though we got an education, the educational aspect of school life had no bearing on our social life. Our young heans were filled with the assurance of suppon and love from our friends. The friends we met and will keep during our high school lives, but just as all good things do, the years of frantic work and fantastic fun must come to an end. The time drew near to march across the stage with a piece of paper that symbolized years of hard work and a pass to the future. We all had been told by one person or another that we would make the transition from high school ‘jitters’' to adult life. No one had really told us (or perhaps we just weren’t lis- tening) that we would actually, as the time drew near, start regretting having to leave North- eastern, having to leave the friends we had made, but we realized that we were prepared, we were ready to make our mark in society. We, the Senior class of 1988 will miss the helping hand that Northeastern gave us in the growth of our characters. Many tears were shed, not really in sorrow, but in the overwhelming excitement that made being a Senior, second to none.

Seniors — 177 Is was just nut the students that felt the Big Squeeze this year; teachers also had to squeeze together.share rooms, watch the many new students and reorganize their teaching objectives. Many new teachers joined the staff; some were old friends from the junior high and others were first year teachers, but all tried to work within the school's new policies to make the year the best it could be for the students and for themselves. Sometimes a lot of teach- ers found that it took almost six weeks to figure out all of the new teacher's names. Since some were teaching in the new section, days could pass before old teach- ing friends were even seen. At least eight teachers did not even have a classroom to call their owm. They were the A LA CARTE group, racing down the halls with their carts overflowing with their next periods work. Added to that was trying to make it across the building to a vacant classroom in the midst of 1591 students changing classes. Find- ing a quiet, studious place to work was also a problem for maost of the fac- ulty. Even if teachers did have a class- room, their planning period, for the most part could not be in their class- room since they were occupied by the floating teachers, so in every nook and cranny you could find a teacher trying to plan. Some teachers took up occupancy in bookrooms, claiming even the most minute space as their own. But, the teachers found support among themselves and weathered the Big Squeeze in the Eagle spirit. 180 Before rhe mad rush of studenti, slamming of lockers and chartering among friends.

Bill Vaughan Having risen from the “sophomore slump , the class of 1989 found them- selves caught in the middle of the Big Squeeze. No longer the Baby Eagles, they were full-fledged juniors, and along with that title came new pressures and re- sponsibilities. Keeping the sophomores and freshmen in line, as well as finding new ways to impress the seniors kept the juniors on their toes at all times. The PSAT put the squeeze on the juniors as well as the magazine sales drive, but they banded together and took it all in stride. The junior year also was the beginning of the big squeeze on the pocketbooks of the parents. Juniors began seeing that their high school was fast coming to an end and they began buying the traditional class rings costing in the neigh- borhood of 250 dollars, and those that had not bought yearbooks before decided that they should. On top of these expenses, there were those of pictures, driver s licenses, and of course, the junior whine of, When can I get a car?” Moms and Dads found that the junior year was an expensive one, but just wait until that Senior one? It has long been accepted that the junior year is also one of extreme pressures in the ac- ademic arena. Juniors found their brains squeezed with all kinds of knowledge found in Chemistry, English, U.S. History, Algebra II, Trigonometry, Advanced Foreign lan- guage study, Technical drawing and so forth. Sometimes they could find the time to take those elective courses that they had an in- terest in pursuing like An, Chorus, Vo- cational, Child Care, Home Economics and Drama. Is was a year of trying to squeeze all of their interests together.

The diversty of these students didn't stop at ap- pearances. After conducting a sophomore survey, it was prov- en that everyone had different ideas and opinions. Yet there was agreement in certain areas; the favorite music groups were L.L. Cool J ., Motley Crue, and RF.M, the favorite TV shows were The Cosby Show, and Alf; and the current event that af- fected most sophomores was the untimely deaths of three former Northeastern High School stu- dents. Because of the big squeeze this year, the sophomores were not the only baby eagles, for the First time in NHS history they shared that title with the fresh- men along with the junior var- sity sports. In effect, competi- tion was high and confusion was plenty, but the sophomores took it all in stride, for they are the confident and unique New Breed. “Am I in the wrong place at the wrong time?” — Britt Biggs Scott Coleman Gwen Conklin Angel Cooper Billie Copeland Carroll Cowell Tabiatha Cozier Kevin Crank Christie Crecf Kevin Critcher Chris Dail Dorea Davis Nicki Davis Susan Davis William Davis Karl Deonanan Minnie Deunas Ayana Dorsey Tanga Dunn Chris Eichier Daniel Ellinwood Scott Elliott Keith Evans Lee Evans Jodi Everett Sophomores — 201 James Farmer Anthony Felton Terrance Felton Herbert Ferebee Lon Fitchett Dana Fletcher Alien Flowers Kenny Forbes Nicole Foskcy Jamie Foster Mike Frank Quincey Freeman Delons Gallop Sheryl Garrett Julie George Kevin Gibbs Evangeline Gibson Joseph Gibson Jr. Terrance Gibson Damon Godfrey Michael Goodwin Charles Graham Ricky Gray Paul Greene Qaudine Gregorio Shawnae Griffin Jenny Gurganus Vance Hague Robert Hampton Kiley Hanford Bambi Harbaugh Beth Ann Hargis Michael Harp Ginger Harris James Hams Melvin Hams Nathan Hassell Sheri Hawkins Gary Hayward Thomas Heath Jon Michael Hemng Chris Hickman James Hill Nikki Hill Kenya Hinton Brian Hoffman Chris Honeycutt Chonita Hopson 202 — Sophomores Kenneth Hoskins Rita Hurdle Sherne Hussey James Hutchings Carrie Jackson Tanisha Jackson Travis Jackson Eric James Ginger Jenkins J J Jemigan Heather Jones Janna Jones Russell Jones Terry Jones Toma Jones Cathy Judge Sabrina Kellogg Deborah Lane Peggy Lane Tammy Lane Karen Layden John Lee Vanessa Lee Dave Lehmann Ginger Lister Sean Lister Steve Lister Carmen Lowry Devona Mallory Tina Mangione Cliff Markham Travis Markham Michael Mamnet Gwen Matoush Heather MacConnell Yvette McCoy Troy McCullen Andrea McDonald Glen McDonald Vicki McDonald Brian McDowell Brent McKecuen Randy Meador Jason Meads Neil Meads Shannon Meads Charles Mercer Craig Midgett Sophomores — 203 Jimmy Midgett Aaron Miller Timmy Miller Quintelle Moore Karen Mooring Chris Morgan Dana Moms Lee Morris Jennifer Mudge Alice Mullen Bonnie Mullen Craig Mullen Stephanie Newell Traty Nixon William Norfleet Darrel Norris Trasey Oakley Tara Oilman 2 M — Suptanmire� Crystal Oven on Larry Overton Harlene Parker Marcel Parker Jason Pendleton Brian Perkinson Bruce Perry Toby Perry John Phillips Doug Picked Jason Pipkin Daniel Plowe Krystal Plowe Joseph Pollard Kathy Poole Yvonne Poole Tarns ha Price Gary Purbangh Shea Rakestraw Tammy Raper Angelia Retd Patricia Reid Tnsta Rhodes Thomas Richardson Alexander Ricketts Unwood Riddick Ruth Riddick Shamta Riddick Tracy Riddick David Robertson Angela Rodgers Clay Rodgers Chad Sand born Dawn Sanders Leigh Sanders Scott Sanders Dave Sandifer Sheree Saunders Bemadetta Sawyer Chad Sawyer Keith Sawyer Kevin Sawyer Michael Sawyer Tracy Timpson Donna Thornton Carla Thornton Trend lc Thomas Michelle Thomas Sohphomores — 2 )S 206 NeiU Sawyer Stephen Sawyer John Schidlmeier Brad Schultz Stacy Scott Antonio Seymore Michelle Shewsbury Robert Shively Roxanne Shively Tern Simpson Yallngn Skinner Brian Slone John Spear Konata Spellman Trevor Spellman Anthony Spence Bobbie Jo Spence Kcm Spence David Spruill Ronnie Spruill Troy Stallings Marvema Staten Benjamin Stokely Cathy Stokely Marieta Stokely Tracy Stokely Felicia Sutton Tammic Sutton Rhonda Swayne Lamar Sylvester Scuttic Sylvester Heather Talley Sonny Tatem Holly Tatum Brandon Taylor Kim Taylor Cathy Trdnck C hristine Tednck Donell Thomas Stacy Tomlinson Devin Turner Tisha Turner Tamela Tyler Shelley Under down Sarah Underhill Lydia Umphlctte Cheryl Vann Scott Vcssey Sophomores Daniel Votava Dorothea Walter Lcun W alstoo ( harulra Walton Ent Walton Mdissa Ward Mkhdlc W ard Tammy W'atts Emily Weeks Jayc Weeks Mdissa Weeks Darrell W'hidhtr Kended W'hidhee Tax-ana Whidbee Valerie W'hulhee Annette White Daryl White Derrick W hite Duwanc White James White Nitfd W hile Trun White W'cndy W'hite Darmk Whitehurst Mithdle Whitley Tunya Wilkins Ale� Williams Anthuny Williams Ava Williams (Williams ( hns Williams l.ynn Williams Patris ia Williams Khsmsla Williams Sharon Williams Sherry Williams Steve Williams Tru)1 Williams Stephen W ilmouth Eva Wilson Robert Wihun Limoni WmsUiu |t tinilt r Wiseman Donnie Wooten link Wnght Mu hells Wright |as Mi Wynn Sl| lHllimriS Sophomores, in a spirit of unity, pledged al- legiance during U.S Constitution Week Hot football fun caused sophomores Aaron Miller, and Jon Bean and senior James Bean to take a break.

But it was the worst of times for many parents and close friends of a Northeastern student and some recent graduates of Northeastern. By Thanksgiving five young people had met their deaths tragically, and those who knew them and even those who did not, were affected by the uncanny and untimely deaths of students who had once walked and talked among them. An eerie silence echoed throughout the hallways when Mrs. Huston, school secretary, would ask for a moment of silence in rememberence of Chris Best, George Pledger, Darlene Midgett, George McKeucen as recent graduates of Northeastern and Darrin Bechiom, an eleventh grade student at the school. The shock of so many young and known students caused Northeastern administration to call in professionals from Tide- water Psychiatric Institute to deal with the high emotional state of many students in terms of dealing with death, especially so many in such a short time. Each of the deaths touched students and faculty members, each heart-wrenching, each tragic. We each learned how fleeting and transitory our lives really are, and how small memories kept popping up in our minds as we each remembered — the vibrant drum echo of George McKeucen, the flashing feet of George Pledger on the football field or the basketball court, the quick smile and resounding laughter of Chris Best, the willing dedication to HOSA of Darlene Midgett, and the enthusiastic love of Darrin Bechiom for his Camero's finely — tuned hum. The vaccuum, the emptiness of their deaths we each must deal with moment by moment until our emptiness is filled with the warmth of the memories that they gave to us, and in some way we hear the echo of Dicken s Sydney Carton's final words, ... it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known, and believe, and believe. George Pledger 1965-1987 George McKeucen 1968-1987 Chris Best 1968-1987 Darlene Midgett 1965-1987 218 — Behind The Scenes Behind The Scenes C reating new policies, keeping the school dean, feeding 1500 people or finding time to volunteer or raise money are just some of the behind the scene jobs of members of the school community and the com- munity at large. It is these silent jobs that do not meet with applause or headline news that provide a school with a basic foundation on which to run. Without these unsung workers and volunteers. Northeastern would not function as well as it does. In the early morning hours, cafeteria workers are rolling dough, cutting lettuce and making sand- wiches so that students and faculty alike would have as many versatile choices when the first lunch bell sounded. Choices ranged from fried chicken to hamburgers and french fries. It that did not suit the palate then there was always the salad bar, taco bar or ham sandwiches. Under the direction of Cora Reid, the cafeteria tried to maintain something for everyone. Making sure that the cafeteria was cleaned tor the next day, the maintenance staft ttx k over. After over 1500 students tromped the halls, sat in classes and roamed the grounds, maintenance got the school in order for the next day keeping us aware that a good school is a clean school. It was a job that head maintenance co- ordinator. Charlie Moore took seriously. Outside of these school workers there were community members who took the time to become involved in Northeastern. Many parental supporters of the school volunteered their time in the classroom, sharing information with the students, while others volunteered time in fund-raisings tor specific dubs, organization or projects. The Bands Club raised money through chicken fries, the Boosters' Club tried to get the athletes parents involved in the athletic programs, and some parents simply came out on Saturdays to help with Special Olympics or the chaperone a trip. Also volunteering their time were members of the School Board who set policies and made sure that the schools in the system were running as smtx rhly as possible. From the Superintendant to the parent, no school could run without the support of the behind the scene people who simply by being here show that they care.

Finding time after gym class, this freshman, made a phone call — typical girl talk.

Robbie Walton and friend showed the Eagle spirit at a pep rally During the Toma talk at Elizabeth Gty State University these Nonheastem girls said hi! with a smile. Home Economica was just one of the classes that students had to learn skills in, and this young lady decided to sew a dress and had cut out her pattern. Linda Hedrick's students did a nice activity near Christmas and gave Mrs Huston a ' Thank-You'' jar in appreci- ation of a fine job and smiling face.

Instead of paying almost $868 a year for tuition and fees at a public four-year college in North Carolina, $5,376 at a private four-year college, or $4,002 at a private two-year college, come to COA. The yearly cost for COA's tuition and fees is only $253. That’s an even bigger savings when you include the cost of almost $2,400 for room and board at other colleges. COA also offers approximately 150 private scholarships each year totalling more than $48,000. Financial aid is also available.

Our representative was Steve Amarillo. Through his creative services, he helped us get on the right track, (especially with the computer), in our first year with Taylor. Thanks for a job well done, Steve The cover, end sheets, and divider pages were designed and hand drawn by Jenny Jackson. All headlines were different sizes of Garamond style with the exception of some titles which were hand drawn by Jenny Jackson. The paper was 80 stock enamel. The cover was Lithocote and printed in four color. There were 16 pages of spot colors: purple 65 and teal 19. There was an 8-page flat of 4-color. All copy was 10 point Garamond, the captions were 8 point. The index was 6 point Times Roman. All material in AERIE was written, laid out and photographed by the staff.

Jim Reid and Pete Rogers of the Daily Advance provided the staff with the AP pictures and some sports pictures. Just the title Wheels and Wills of Steel” was taken from the 1980 East Carolina University Buccaneer.

Overall, the United States Olympic team finished in fifth, while the Soviets took first place. Ic was a year of sinners and saviors. From Oliver North and the Iran-Contra hearings to Pope John Paul II, the year was Filled with many up s and downs as scandals spread from the Church to the Whitehouse. Jim and Tam- my Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart, and Oral Rob- erts became household names because of their corruptive lust and greed. Presidential hopeful Gary Hart was not without his share of the spotlight thanks to Donna Rice. Robert Bork may have infuriated women's groups and mi- norities, but when Mikael Gorbachev pulled into Washington, D.C. for arms reductions talks, everyone was in agreement — world peace wasn't such a far-fetched concept after all.

We the People ...” America celebrated the 200th anniversary of the Constitution in 1987 with parades and speeches made by many well-known people. In a special cer- emony, Attorney General Edwin Meese swore in hundreds of immigrants as United States citizens. The highlight of the gala came when President Reagan led a crowd of school chil- dren in the Pledge of Allegiance. All of these events raised the conciousness of everyone and fostered a new sense of unity among the citizens of the world.

The Big Squeeze — 261 Things were hectic at first, but by June everyone had gotten through the Big Squeeze virtually unscathed. With the arrival of the freshmen, elbow room was hard to come by and so, shoulder to shoul- der and cheek to cheek we wandered down the halls past unfamiliar faces. In our first few days, we were reminded by that monotone voice over the intercom of the new rules and regulations that we must learn to abide by. And then there were those few unwritten rules that the seniors impressed upon the underclassmen. If you wer- en't a senior and you were caught in the Pit, you could expect to be squeezed'‘ out. By Christmas vacation, you could make it to your class on time and catch a sight of a familiar face on the way. Mid-terms saw many a haggard face and bloodshot eyes. Students and teachers alike were astonished that half the year had flown by so quickly. April and May brought cap and gown meas- urements, competency tests and organizing schedules for the upcoming year. By early June we had mastered the an of going to our lockers, chatting with our buddies and not being tardy for our next class (most of the time!). And on June 9th, we said goodbye to our friends, the once unfamiliar faces that we had shoved aside in the hallways only a few months before. We shared our losses and our victories, but all too soon, The Big Squeeze became only a memory. bho iwkMrs. stfdllook?
