o verlooked To Return For Chance In Sun It was the underclassmen who made up the majority of the people at North, yet this majority was not the ruling class. It fact, they were sometimes overlooked, for they would return later to claim their day in the sun. Opportunities weren ' t as final for the underclassmen. If an event was missed or a contest lost, these people could al- ways say, Well, next time. The urgen- cy of the present was not so crucial. Other people of North were more unap- preciated than unnoticed. It was they, who from eight to three, held the title of Faculty. They were always there to lend a helping hand to a student ' s education or well-being (whether it was wanted or not), and the smooth running of the school depended upon each of them. It was the underclassmen and faculty who would return again and create once more the package that was North. fv -hi Assembled by the school ' s newly created planter, J.J, Culpepper, Loni Wiilson, Colbert Cal- houn, and Rodney McKinnon laugh over the latest happenings. 102 division In need of a little assistance, Ben Barbee leans over to a fellow student to ask a question concern- ing the assignment.

Successes Ride On Discipline Although the jv wrestling team had only seven members, they did very well. By combining hard conditioning and tough discipline the team excelled, capturing third place in the ivy League with Freshman of the Year, Jr. Lujano. To increase stamina. Coach Edmund and his jv team could be seen running the track with another team member perched on his back any day during the season. We were good because we were young and willing to work, said Steve Stone. The combination, conditioning and dis- cipline, resulted in two very important accomplishments in Ivy League, besides adding the necessary experience for fu- ture varsity members. Grasping for leverage against his Norco opponent, Kenneth McKnight initiates a reversal. Pulling his opponent to the mat, James DcConinck scores a take-down, and attempts a pin. Forcing an opponents shoulders to the mat resulted in an automatic victory. JV WRESTLING, FRONT ROW: Eric Moore, Steve Stone, Willy Schoonover, Daniel Blain; TOP ROW: Coach Edmund.
