NE STEP BEYOND ' THE EXPECTED students competed for the National Council of Teachers of English Annual Achievement Awards. Two received top honors; a third was runner-up. North Central was among the only sixteen schools in the country with two winners. Early in the year, language students began to think of the I.U. Honor ' s Program; four were chosen in 1965. They spent a summer of learning and fun, livins: with French and Mexican families. Centralites strive to do these and many other activities uncom- monly well. Marguerite Waller, Steve Horning, and Tina Simmons share with Mr. Duffy their excitement over receiving awards from the National Council of Teachers of English. i Memories of a summer spent as an A. F. S. student living with a Chilean family are revived for Bonnie Lindquist whenever she looks over the many articles she brought back.

OUR GOAL . Centralites make uncommonly good use of their time, crowding waking hours with school, heavy homework assignments, and outside activities, which include a variety of projects. One, tutoring class- mates, provides a successful enterprise for the National Honor Society. Individual students also devote their time to helping underprivileged children with school work. Junior Achievement, a popular activity, interests many Centralites in becoming the business leaders of the future by participating in company promotion. Entering national contests brings success to Cen- tralites ' endeavors. This year, for the first time, six North Central ' s own Mim Harris, national vice-president of Junior Achievement, arrives from New York after an exciting weekend of fun and public appearances. As part of the Tutors, Inc. program at Christamore House, top-ranking juniors Sarah Messenger, Linda Roth, and Mau- reen Flannery take time out of their busy schedules each week to help underprivileged children catch up in their schoolwork. Metropolitan Opera star Joy Davidson chats with Andy Uvanni and Candy West after a performance of Carmen.

Preparing for Ah, Wilderness, Kathy Hart and Sara Chenoweth find lacing high-top shoes more time consuming than slipping into old loafers. CENTRALITES SWING Excited conversations about summer vacations changed to discussions of coming activities soon after Centralites returned to school last fall. Seniors began making plans for their annual bonfire and Juniors busily organized a party to which admission would be canned food for needy families. Sophomores expended their energies on orienting themselves to senior high school life. Student Council members swung into their traditional activities, and added two new ones— sponsoring the first North Central Homecoming and hosting the state convention. Two other events marked the fall season as being especially noteworthy. The Drama Department put on Ah! Wilderness, as its first play and the West Side Story cast played to standing ovations during the Triangle Club ' s Family Jamboree. Actors Dave McKown and Donna Agnew meet the challenge of difficult emotional roles while portraying Tony and Maria in the fall musical West Side Story. ■
