0l'elfU0l . . . When the administration of North Central decided that the all-important first year of the new school should be recorded in a yearbook, many people said it couldn't be done. Some even said it shouldnit be attempted. But a sponsor was hired, a staff hastily recruited from early registrants, and both sponsor and staff spent two weeks of intensive planning and training at the summer journalism institute for high school students. In September, the inexperienced staffers began to realize what a gigantic task they had undertaken. School opened with only one and a half of the main wings finished. Many classes were in temporary quarters. Important sections such as the gym, the home economics department, the auditorium, and the industrial arts wing were still in the construction stage. The student center was an impassable mess of materials, and passers from A to B wing had to go outside and around the building. Outside, giant bulldozers stirred up clouds of dust as the grounds were leveled off and prepared for landscaping. Clubs were being formed, new policies set up, and new students arrived daily. No traditions were available to fall back on. The sponsor, who had spent seven years perfecting an organization at another school, had forgotten what it meant to start at the bottom of the ladder again, the staff, facing a new and unknown experience, had difficulty realizing the inevitability of deadlines. Perhaps their most irksome adjustment was in acquiring the patience to plug away, waiting nine months before the final results of their work could be seen. If it had not been for the unusually kind cooperation of administerial and teaching staff, the freely given aid of parents during money making projects, the patience and helpfulness of photographers Earl Loudermilk, Bob Stalker, and Dick Brier, and the assistance of David L. McConnell, publisher, the book could not have been completed. The task often seemed impossible, and sometimes unbearably tiresome, but through it all the staff kept up its morale with amazingly few clashes of temperament. By the end of the long preparation period, the young people had begun to feel more like a unified group and to realize the seriousness of their project. Most of all, they realized that theirs was a unique honor--they were the creators of the first Northerner to be issued in North Central. They had earned their place in history.
