fter much thought and delibera- tion, this year's yearbook staff unani- mously decided on a theme for the 1987 Newtonian- the jungle. To us, Newton North is a jungle in many ways. For starters, we are the Tigers, which is something that we all share. However, there are many facets to Newton North, and Newton North has meant something different to every member of the 1987 graduating class. In this respect, the jungle represents diversity. In the jungle, there are certain things that one needs to know in order to survive, and the same holds true for Newton North. Let's call this knowledge a survival kit for success. As freshmen, we were totally unaware of the contents of this kit, but now, as seniors, our kits are overflowing. First, there is the compass. Trying to find one's way around has always been a chal- lenge. It all began with the Great Building Marathon during the first week of school. Then there was the method of trial and error, and finally success. Second, there is the bell. North, unlike other high schools, doesn't provide one for us, except for the bell telling us when it is time to get to homeroom. But who needs a bell when we have Mr. Guild shouting in our ears telling us to get off Main Street? However, we do have a buzzer to remind us when it is two minutes to the hour. Third, and most important, there is courage. Once we figured out how to get to the cafeteria, preferably during the right lunch, we are faced with the buzzling mess of lunch lines and the search for a clean unnoc- cupied seat. Fortunately, this year this quest was made easier with the invention of the senior tables. A On a more serious note, however, our class has a lot to be proud of. We are the first four- year class to graduate Newton North, and we have learned what it is like to feel completely lost among 610 other peers. We are lucky, though, because we have had an extra year to take advantage of what North has to offer and find a place for ourselves admist all the confusion. Similar to the jungle, Newton North was full of competition, just as it was full of diversity. What we must never forget is what we have learned from one another and Wlizitf mistakes we have made.
