Seniors admire their tree. The well-known Christmas pageant, 6'The Story of the First Christmasf' was presented, by the choir, choral clubs, and the brass ensemble, under the di- rection of Miss Anne Hepler and Mr. Richard Fyler. At last came the long awaited day Tuesday, De- cember 23, when we packed away our books and said goodbye to Northern until our return in Jan- uary. While we were stuffing ourselves with turkey, our industrious custodians were busily cleaning the building so that it would be ready for our return. Northern felt a special pride in being the first school to present a program on the new television series 'iSeventeen.', Students representing different school activities were interviewed. Musical entertain- ment was rendered by the dance band and the faculty German band. They keep our school clean January 19 through 23 was set aside for semester examinations. The Lions Club presented their an- nual minstrel show in the school auditorium. An impressive installation ceremony was pre- sented by the National Honor Society at Northern.

This program is offered to help the stu- dent with his decisions on a career. The return of spring was welcomed by everyone. The new season began with the presentation of the tri-class play. At last came the high point of our school days, our senior trip to New York City. It is for this trip that the classes work so diligently in building up a treasury. We boarded the train early Thursday morning, May 7, and began a three day tour of the city. A tired but happy group of seniors arrived home the following Sunday morning. In place of the usual spring concert, an operetta, Words and Music, was presented by the senior high choral groups. One of the last social events attended by seniors was the Junior-Senior prom which was held at the Holiday banquet room. The year was climaxed with the Baccalaureate Service on Sunday, May 30, and the Commence- ment ceremony, on June 1, which marked the grand and somewhat sad finale for the class of '59. Final goal

ACADEMIC LIFE The academic program here at Northern is be- coming more intense because of the new scientific discoveries and the many students seeking to attend college. As a result of the evaluation held last year, our school is now accredited, giving it a higher ac- ademic rating. We, the class of '59, feel special pride in being the first class to graduate from the accredited high school. Our science department offers general science, ad- vanced science, chemistry, and physics. The annual science fair, sponsored by the department, gives stu- dents a chance to apply their scientific knowledge. The school library supplemented the science depart- ment with a traveling science library through the Library has modern facilities courtesy of the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science. In addition to providing sci- ence material, the library offers general information on practically all subjects. A librarian is available to aid students in the use of library materials.
