OUR PARENTS SEE US AS North Centralites, as their parents see them, are jet-propelled young people whose energy, however, is often punctuated by fits of laziness. This lassitude generally extends only to such matters as keeping rooms clean and rarely interfe res with the heavy schedule of social, extra-curricular and academic ac- tivity most teenagers follow. To provide the best possible educational opportuni- ties for these unpredictable young people of theirs, parents are banded together in the Triangle Club. They channel their activities into providing financial assistance for extras not covered by the official budget, and they back the faculty and administration to a degree not always found in the average high school. Parental interest in the welfare of the teen- agers of the community stimulates the rapid growth of North Central since it interests other families into moving into the area.
