The Class ourcome closely resembles that of the Maryland Primary. Anticipation runs high as students wait impatiently for the final rwo days before vacation to pass. This year marks the first time that there is aN extended spring vacation. National and narural incidents contoured school activities. For the first time in the school’s history a two-week spring vacation was in evidence. Usually a one-week vacation was built inro the schedule with the understanding thar if there were any snow days, these vacation days would become make-up days.

Likes and dislikes are a part of this recipe for the studenr personality. Even the things he does jusr for fun tell other people something about him. On many a sunny day a buzzing noise along a country road grew louder as the listener saw a distant speck grow with the approaching sound. Before the roar passed, an observant bystander could recognize a Northern student under the helmer of the rider. Among those who frequently donned the helmet and traveled by motorcycle were John Beiler, Tom Humberson, and Vickie Meyers. Baseball, the national sport, also gave several boys plenty of fun. The summer softball leagues had such students as Sreve Fratz, Greg Carr, John Beiler, and Rick Yommer playing for them. Putting music on the juke box, talking to favorite people, reading books — things thar were just plain fun — were in evidence in student life. Withour this important ingredient of fun activities, the recipe of a student's personality would not have been complete. Decorative lockers make for a pleasant atmosphere and a unique ‘ locker.
