At North l-ligh we are fortunate in having an excellent scientific curriculum available for every year of high school. For freshmen there is general science as a background for scien- tific facts and theories: advanced sciences in- clude biology for sophomores, chemistry and physics for juniors and seniors, Students of science learn by doing-by prac- tical experiencee-as well as from lectures by their highly trained instructors and through their own reading and research.

Sch0oI's ul And we remember the sparkling facets of the kaleidoscopic pattern that made up our school life. We look back on the algebra -class that we struggled through, the early morning P. E. class in which we froze to death during the winter, the experiments in Chem lab, the American History discus- sions, and the research themes in Senior English. We remember our labored translations in Spanish and even the classes in learning how to fly fplanes, that isl. We also remember the dances- the traditional formals, the sport dances after the games, the semi- formals. We laugh, thinking of Sadie Hawkins Day with its as- sembly and outlandish Dogpatch costumes. We remember the hectic senior- sponsored bus trip to see the Mus- tangs play the Badgers in a foot- ball game at Tucson, the pep-rally before the big North l-ligh-Phoenix Union game on Thanksgiving Day . . . the Christmas celebration. These are but a few of the in- delible recollections of school life at North l-ligh in l953.
