Activities promoting school spirit, giving guidance for the future, and adding to classroom knowledge, are used to supplement academic life Life is never dull at North Central. Routine school days are punctuated with other activities that provide guidance help, extend classroom work, or intensify school spirit. Regularly scheduled College Night and Career Day programs, as usual, gave North Centralites a chance to decide on schools or occupa- tions for their futures. Familiarity with election procedures came when Student Council officer nom- inations caused intensive campaigning, and compe- tition over class and club officer selections were items of interest to everyone concerned. Pep sessions added interest to athletic events and brought out unsuspected talent in the matter of skits put on for extra entertainment. Other talented people planned exhibits for hall showcases or completed illustrative projects for clubs and classes. Every- where there was evidence that North Centralites are alert, imaginative young people with plenty of initiative and perseverance. It takes a big boy to blow a big horn in the pep band, but Ralph Overfield qualifies. Latin is brought up to date when Linda Cupp, Carl Herndon, and Bryan Young make an ambitious project comparing the ancient chariot races to the 500 mile race.

THIS IS NORTH CENTRAL Where pupils, faculty, administrators, and parents work in harmony to bring the school to top position in all its varied fields of endeavor A school is the product of many things - - the people within its walls, the parents that back it, and the little daily events in classrooms and halls that create nostalgic memories for old grads. North Central is peculiarly a community affair. It is rare that parents have as much to do with planning a school as they did for this, the first high school in Washington Township. Even now, when it is smoothly running. Triangle Club members provide funds for extras through their annual Jamboree, and help in any other way needed. Pupils at North Central, almost without realizing its growth, have developed a feeling of closeness for one another and the school, the result of successful competition in athletics, academics, and various extra-curricular activities. Faculty members constantly read, study, and visit other schools for ideas, trying always to improve the level of instruction. In five years a building has become a school with all the word implies. Checking Susy Kingdon ' s clothes is Mrs. Russell Mueller, chairman of the Triangle Club ' s fashion show. Board members, Frederic A. Gronau; Charles B. Feibleman, treasurer; J. Everett Light, superintendent; William B. Weisell, vice-president; John W. Kingsbury, president; and Mrs. Elizabeth A. Hilgedag, secretary, carry the responsibility for this top-ranking school.
