N C H S provides an apprenticeshq Quiet, empty halls stretch all through the build- ing. Only a few people are striding along on their assigned tasks. Suddenly a bell shatters the silence and masses of students pour out of classrooms. This mob of hurrying teen-agers are special because they are North Centralites. Working and living together for five days a week, they share a common bond. They absorb the abundance of knowledge open to them and they work to make North Central more than just an academic institution. Every year these active young people spend many hours after school and on the week ends to make Junior Spectacular, the Family Jamboree, the Fall Festival, College Night, Careers Day, and many other activities a success. Even on the coldest, snowiest days of the year, the reliable school buses faithfully complete their rounds. Busy North Centralites, Steve Talesnick and Carl Bose, snatch a few minutes for conversation on their way to class.

Momentarily taking over the role of teacher, Dave Martin uses the overhead projector for an effective presentation. 26 Gwen Dixon can familiarize herself with any university in the country, using records and slides on file in the library. Academic atomosphere Teachers lecturing to classes, students cram- ming in the Student Center before school, a hushed silence floating over the library, and a curly-head hiding deep in the pages of a Greek philosophy book, proclaim the academic atmosphere which prevails at North Central. ln this school, most pupils are preparing to be college students. They learn to pur- sue knowledge beyond classroom facts by constantly reading, questioning, and experimenting. But North Centralites also gain a great respect for knowledge through personal contacts with their teachers. A friendly smile in the halls, a kind word following class, or a long talk after school helps students realize that teachers are congenial people.
