i I Reaching Out To Others None of the people at this school would have ever made it through the year without someone being there, someone to help them through trying times. That is what the people at Nova were always watching out for. The stu- dents felt a need to help people. We were caring and sensitive to the feel- ings of others. When someone here needed help, people picked up on that, and tried to help them through their problems. We were dedicated people who once started something, finished it. As friends, we knew that when peo- ple trusted us, we couldn ' t let them down. People here trusted each other. The students put their trust in each other knowing that the favors they did would be returned someday when they needed them. Other students not only found the need to help one person, but found the need to help many people. For in- stance, Mr. Mike Martin, Dean of Stu- dents, developed a great activity called Leadership Day. It wasn ' t only a great way to spend a Saturday, but people learned how to build their self- confidence and become leaders. An- other active group at school was Just Say No. This group helped people to say no to drugs when the peer pressure from their friends could have easily persuaded them to say yes. Groups like Future Homemakers of America (FHA) and Future Farmers of America (FFA) did just as their names stated. They prepared people for problems and careers they would come across in their futures. These groups and more were the rea- sons why students made it through a great school year. The class of 1990 is a class that Reached out to others. 1. Jennifer Fleming, co-president of Just Say No club listens patiently to ideas given. 2. Brandy Dingman and Renee Holder share a friendly conversation during lunch. 3. Dania Murphy, Amy Kimbrough, and Wendy Helm are being helped by Mr. Bill Asnicar on a tough geometry question.
