students welcomed the opening of the Honor Society snack bar. All this motion came crashing to a halt on Novem- ber 22. The days immediately following President Kennedy's assassination had a detinite ettect on North Shore, and the ln Memoriam pages are a record ot its thoughts and reactions. Although stu- dents and teachers were deeply affected by the as- sasination, a sense ot the importance of life, particu- larly when confronted with senseless death, caused a return to action. In December, lite at North Shore began to return to normal as plans were made for the Junior Prom, Christmas Cotillion. The various music organiza- tions presented a holiday concert, the long-awaited vacation arrived, and school recessed tor the holi- days. The new year brought more activity than ever. The basketball team picked up the habit ot winning games, the initial stages ot the production of the musical, Redhead, got underway, and the Ski Club, under the direction ot Mr. Passer, iourneyed to Shaker Village. Mid-term exams, the bane ot stu- dents' lives, were administered, and seeking relief, 80 Schussboomers spent a weekend skiing at Fitz- william Lodge in New Hampshire. While skiers were busy traveling about, the Sopho- mores were transported to the middle ages at their dance, Misty Wonderland. ln the realm ot music, the Varsity Chorus, DoMiSols, and l-loarse Norsemen recorded for radio station WHLI. Patrice Simonnet, American Field Service exchange student from France, came to North Shore in February, Vacation came once more, and tor most students it was a wel- come chance to catch up on lost sleep. But for the 150 people involved in the production ot Redhead, it only meant more and longer rehearsals, For l9 Seniors, it meant the announcement of New York Regents Scholarships for the fall of T964-65. Finally, atter tive weeks of intense work, Redhead was ready to be presented and was a smash! The Juniors received their rings, baseball and track teams began practice and competition, the annual Spring Concert was given, and Spring Recess tinally arrived. The band, orchestra, and chorus performed at All-State, the Viking View changed hands as next year's stat? began to prepare the tinal issue. The yearbook editors met their deadline tor the annual Taliesin '64, Moving-Up Day was held and the year is now drawing to a close. There is little time left, but, as usual, there is still much to do: tinal exams, the Senior Prom, and, at last, graduation, Taliesin '64 is a record, in time and motion, of North Shore l-ligh School, its students, teachers, and statt.
