On With Reverence Just before the ceremony begins, marching band members play “America the Beaurtiful'’ as they approach the flagpole. Near the end of the ceremony, Tim Yunker and Scott Graham raise the American flag in honor of United States Veterans. Special traditions mean much to all who attend Northern. Even every week occurences are observed. American Education Week was a special week for many parents. They were invited to the school fo observe classes and talk with teachers. The Student Council recognized the event by serving refreshments. The band payed tribute to all former servicemen on Veteran's Day by saluting the flag with ‘‘Taps’’. Every Monday, the National Anthem was played throughout the school and the Pledge was then said. Teachers and students alike took part in this observance. With everyone taking part in observances such as these, school life was a little more meaningful. Every Monday morning Mr. Bittinger places the needle of the record player on the album and the National Anthem is heard throughour the school. Student Life 13
