F Q IJEDIGATIUN To all those who were instrumental in bringing about the conception of our beautiful North High, and to the dear friends, teachers and fellow-students, who make it the haven of happiness that it is,we,the editors of this, North High's premier publication, re' spectfully dedicate this humble work. WAMPUM Since the Indian is the symbol of North High, it seems only fitting that the name of North High's year- book should deal with some phase of Indian tradition. Each Indian tribe always kept a record of its laud- able events by a hand-sewn belt, known as a wampum. When the warriors were successful in battle, when a new chieftain was chosen, when any notable occasion took place, intricate beaded designs were woven into the wampum. The tribe's wampum, in reality, was its tribal history. A yearbook of any school is a history of the school. It records, as did the wampum of the Indian tribe, all occurances of which the school is a part. Thus: Wampum, the Binghamton North High School yearbook. QThis name was selected by a representative com- mittee from entries in a school - wide contest. Two sophomores, Mickael Kotsodos, and Roland Perry, submitted Big Wampum and Wampum Belt, respect- ively. Both boys are receiving autographed copies of the book as an award.j A
