that he pursues with boundless energy North Centralites never lack for something to do even when the strenuous school day is over. Usually algebra, English, history, or some other assignment furnishes work for afternoon and evening hours, but occasionally there are no lessons. That means leisure time to read a good book, to work on a hobby, or to sit and watch television. Household chores claim their fair share of time. Girls are called upon to help with the cleaning, dish washing, and the care of younger children. Boys confine their efforts to yard-work, odd jobs, and keeping the family car in top-notch condition. Dates, as always, are important. Even in the busiest of schedules, there is time for a coke date, a show, or an occasional dance. In other words, North Centralites lead a life typical of teen-agers the coun- try over. Having a strong boy around the house is a hoon to parents. Bob Galm shovels snow from the family walks.

uw orfla Cenfrakfe . . . Concenlrales North Centralites spend most of their waking hours at school, but not all of that time is concen- trated on the three Ris. Frequent social events relieve what otherwise might become monotony. After football and basketball games many school organizations took turns sponsoring mixers. Popular disc jockeys sometimes provided the music, but on other nights members of A-V T spun the records. Occasionally there were parties and dances for the whole school or for a single class. Banquets were often given to honor pupils who had earned recognition in various fields of endeavor. Each season, athletes who received their letters were given awards at a special dinner. The operetta, all school play, and Junior Spectacu- lar also gave pupils a chance to get together for an evening of fun and relaxation. Student mixers are an important aftt-1'-ganie activity.
