a 1 O I5 OI X' f f I o rf fl cn find fc . A North Centralite is a busy young American going about the important job of becoming a mature, healthy, and happy adult. Tomorrow he will tackle the problems of the world, but today he is going to school and having fun. Full of exhuberance and boundless energy, he is always devising interesting and profitable things to do with his time. A North Central girl finds school an exciting place with friends to meet, dates and clothes to discuss, and events to rehash. Classes are either boring or interesting. Griping is a pastime that relieves the pressure of getting an education. After school she listens to records, attends parties and club meetings, shops, and works to get money for a million and one necessities Then, when everything is finished, she may stay up late doing the book report that was assigned weeks ago. A North Central boy is always on the go. During school he is distracted by the purr of a Jaguar as it speeds along route 100. He gets together with other car enthusiasts to talk about his crate, girl, and teachers. After school a boy works on his car, takes care of the yard, walks the dog, holds a job, and tries to do a satisfactory job of his homework

In the course of the average school week, pupils also participate in a program of depart- mental, special interest, and service clubs which are designed to broaden individual interests or improve skills. In an atmosphere of learning, pupils still find occasions for relaxation. Whenever there is time, boys and girls gather to talk. Gab fests and serious discussions are carried on in halls, classrooms, the student center, and cafeteria. Assemblies, too, pro- vide a welcome break in the daily routine of class- room activities and homework preparation. Couples pausing to say good-bye before going to their classes are a familiar sight at North Central. Bill Buehler regularly escorts Shirley Barnett to her room.
