The Archifect's Vision of North Initial academic endeavor was challenged by workmen installing machinery and last equipment. The next year local papers headlined North's rain,' whenever storms drenched third floor ceilings. Better waterproofing brought relief-Our mountainous backyard was leveled off for parking areas and a fitting athletic field. At the front, shrubbery and trees were planted, low fences added along the walks. Then in the fall of 1939 a catastrophe struck. Even though letters over the main entrance proclaimed this as Bing- hamton North High School and every side entrance bore B.N.H.S., still because petitioning East Side residents felt that North as a name was inappropriate, we became East High--that is, until our Student Council held a pow- wow, went on the warpath to Keep North High, North High, won a victory and raised a wa-hoo. And, through the years down the towpaths of our Happy Hunting Grounds we have found feathers marking the trails of our North High Indians. Of the chieftains one was Jim Barnes,' another, Don Jones who originated I'll always carry a red and blue chip on my shoulder. Many went out carrying a peacepipe and dreams-War interrupted-Every school activity focused on our Great Father's battlefronts-Gone now is the threatening cloud. But many did not return,' so, in fitting tribute this anni- versary year of North we have dedicated two bronze plaques to those fifty-four loyal braves who will not join us in our traditional Alumni Day or observe with us this tenth birthday celebration in peace. Inheritors of the Indian tradition so unsuspectingly begun by our first coach, Bob Redman, we celebrate this our tenth harvest with a feast recalling-our powwows, the glories of our chieftains, and the prowess of our warriors, woven into the blue and scarlet beads of our tribe's Wampum. Along the Susquehanna our tom-tom beats and all know our tribe-We are the redmen, the Indians of North High. 7 Ss 'f gf UU.. is-',g'T i' if 'I K3 35
