What was exactly meant by the term Student Life? To some students, it meant good times, parties, being with friends, ball games, and generally just enjoying life as a stu- dent! To others, it meant after- school shuttling between a job and a practice, then going home and trying to study for a test or attempting to write a term paper. The excitement of starting school was meaningful to most of the freshmen, but certain things, like Christmas fun and Spring Break, meant some good, winning times for everyone. No matter how Student Life was defined, it still add- ed up to making the school year a ' Winner! We ' ve got spirit! The pep club gets into the game by cheering on the basketball team.

Music of Gold, Melody Stanton, Rick Fiechter, Gassy Polley and Jeff Binkley sound winning. Warm Sounds for a Co Imagine a usual Wells County December night — cold, snowy, windy, too late for football, and no basketball game scheduled yet. But yet any passer- by whizzing by the school could see that the parking lot was almost full, the Commons lights were on, and a soft, candlelit glow was coming from the cafeteria. If this same passerby stopped and entered into the building, he would be even more amazed, for coming from the old drab halls of NHS were beautiful musical sounds! Not video rock, but sounds that 400 years ago were considered pretty exciting entertainment! The sounds were the sounds of the Jesters of Festivity, front: Laurel Kinzer and Angie Bradburn. behind: Connie Macklin and Lori Johnson. The Monks have arrived!! Claudine Elzey and Brian Dettmer play harmony. Chamber Singers, and the candle-glow came from the annual Chamber Feaste, a recreation in food, service, and music of a medieval English Christmas ban- quet. The audience enjoyed a traditional English dinner, and listened to the sing- ing of ballades, madrigals, and other early types of music. Jesters added to the festive atmosphere by making the rounds of the audience and bringing smiles to many faces. So, for two cold December Wells County nights, the school enjoyed a reliving of another country, another winter night, another celebration of the most beautiful of all seasons — Christmas. Is this what the sixteenth century meant by bore-ing! Connie Macklin and Laurel Kinzer bring in the Boar ' s Head in procession. Chamber Singers 1 1
