One Step Closer to Graduation GREAT WI K WORTH l9Hb 1987 The '87 blue and orange tassel — another status symbol at North Senior Ed A mow. thinking about graduation in June Things had been going along pretty well for the seniors: the first semester was al- most over and most college applications had been sent. Time seemed to be passing by at a steady rate when all of a sudden, the seniors were made aware of how near graduation and the end of their high school career were. The day for cap and gown fit- tings reawakened feelings that had been forgotten. “It’s really happening,” many thought, “our high school years are almost over.” No sooner were the seniors reminiscing than they were buying graduation tassels. That same day, tassels could be found hanging from fingers, knapsacks, ears and, of course, the rearview mirror of their cars. Just imagining what they would look like in that sacred robe and cap must have been a thought. That day marked for many seniors the beginning of the second semester and the planning of a daily schedule of less work, more play — for better or worse. Cap and gown fittings were the first impact on seniors of graduation — the first step in what would be a very special day.

The Community School, located in Room 7, is “an educational program which emphasizes student involvement, academic excellence, personal development, and social awareness. The C.S. has a f riendly “home base” quality about it. Many student members spend two to three peritxls a day in C.S.. Even though the C.S. classes are demanding, they tend to have a less competitive atmosphere than most. The C.S.’s main purpose is to offer classes in both English and social studies. C.S. students firmly believe that education should be more than a spectator sport and therefore are encouraged to go beyond the traditional and are given ample opportunity to suggest topics and lxx ks for class study. During the second semester of their senior year, students are given the chance to participate in the fieldmester program. In the past, students have participated in archaeological digs in Spain and have worked in research programs at major hospitals. This year Senior Danny Anajovich went to Argentina to work in a book store and possibly to help writers in doing research. Senior Carolyn Schulman worked at a child’s center in Manhasset while Senior Barry Weil apprenticed at a TV station (for Good Morning America) in Manhattan. 22 Student Life
