Musical bonfire plag dominate fall activities Drama and musical comedy high- lighted the North Central stage during the fall. The fall play, Inherit the Wind, presented the famous monkey trials of the 192O's.

George lVlcKown, Katy Kreus- ser, and Sandy Donnell played in the leading roles. Thirty senior girls displayed the latest fashions from Dorothy's to the music of the International Grapefruit during the Style Show. Also during the Family Jamboree, sleepshirts, tee- shirts, school jewelry, and other items were on sale in booths. The class of '69 celebrated with a bonfire after their last football game. Doughnuts, hot dogs, and hot choco- late were served to warm up the cold night. Confused parents wandered aim- lessly through mazes of halls in at- tempt to recreate their children's daily schedules on Back-to-School Night on September 25.

work. travel Summer provided a busy time for North Central students whether they were busy working, traveling, or re- Iaxing. Several students from North Cen- tral visited foreign countries on exchange or c u I t u r a I education programs. Local young people from North Central and other area high schools spent many summer hours rebuilding an old barn. The rebuilt barn was used as a youth center. The largest driver's education pro- gram in Indiana was taught by 24 in- structors Ied by General DeBard. Basic driving knowledge was taught during a four day period, followed by two weeks of actual driving experience. Baseball games continued into summer, culminating with the state tournament. Football practice began in the late summer months in prepa- ration for their fall grid battles. SUMMER NIGHTS FOUND many area youths listening to such bands as Him Her and Them at the teen club, The Barn. SUMMER PRACTICE of the football team was preparation for head to head contact. STEERING THEIR WAY through the double stanchions to complete the skill tests, driver's education students accomplish their training during the summer months.
