Unity, A Special Thing Here In the past, rumors had always seemed to plague North. Several years ago rumor might have had it that North was a dangerous campus. But for quite a while the tables have been turned. North has come up in many ways: academically, in racial unity, and in school pride and spirit. According to Dr. Beaty the potential of the student body had not yet been realized. But as standardized tests and individual grades showed, the academic progress had come up quite a bit. Because of the firm but fair behavior policy, attendance as well as attitude remained strong. A major factor contributing to the improved attendance were the campus aides who bravely patrolled the campus on the Huskeymobile searching for stray students. They know who ' s a student and who ' s not, observed Dr. Beaty. I ' ve never been at another school that had such unity, remarked Beaty. Unity is a special thing here; I ' ve never seen it at another school — Dr. Beaty High schools tend to be separated by departmentalization, but we all work together here; it ' s unique. Uni- ty of staff and students may have been helped by the nature of the pro- grams and activities. All of the ac- tivities had something to draw out the interests of the students. There ' s so much amazing diversity and pride in the activities; there ' s something for everybody, continued Dr. Beaty. Another, and major, force which drew both staff and students together was their close relationship. We have some teachers here who will bend over backwards to assist students, praised Dr. Beaty. Counselors also performed above and beyond the call of duty. We have the best counselors in the world — just ask them to help and they ' ll always do it. Dr. Beaty added. Discussing the upcoming SIP meeting are Dr. Beaty and Mrs. Rose. administration 151

Pranks: Their Key To Closeness Who would think that people who put Ex-Lax in Chocolate cupcakes, steal lunches, desks, and file cabinets, and send trick messages would constitute one of the closest departments on campus? The coaching staff would. The reason behind the pranks was to break the pressure that builds up during the school year. Inside as well as outside the school hours their friendships remained strong. It ' s great to look forward to additional meetings outside campus like surprise birthday parties, etc, added Coach Anderson. During school breaks they ' d throw parties Mr. Adams Math Miss Anderson Business Education Mr. Anderson Social Studies Mrs. Anderson Home Economics Mrs. Appleford Drama Mr. Bains Industrial Education Mrs. Bartlett Home Economics Mrs. Beatty English ' Mr. Canales and go camping together. There ' s still a lot of little boy in us, admitted Coach Stalder. Just last week I walked into my office and there was a sign, ' What Every Fisherman Dreams Of and there We ' re actually not very grown up. — Coach Stalder were four dead, smelly mackeral under it, Coach Saucedo com- mented. Whenever a carnation sale rolled around, one of the coaches would receive a blossom from a secret admirer with a message to meet some place on campus. Many of the recipients would appear at the alloted place only to find his ad- mirer a group of snickering coaches. Heart attacks almost became realities when some poor coach was sent an emergency message from the office. After racing to the office they ' d be received with blank looks and no But these hoaxes had a point and definite benefits. The P.E. depart- ment was very close and everyone got along well with one another. I look forward to working with these peo- ple, Coach Stalder concluded.
