Motion . . . sound . . . before school . . . between classes. . . at lunch . . . at 3:03 . . .sound . . . motion . . . motion as ceaseless as if the wind-lashed waves of a stormy seat beat against a resisting coast. Silence . . . stillness . . . the gentle chime of the class bell transforms the stormy waves into the placid, almost soundless ripples ofa summer lake. Classes . . . assembly . . , library . . . morning meditation . . . in all these quiet moments and places, the beating of a heart still echoes, it is only on week- ends and holidays that the school becomes just ano- ther empty house whose heart is still, whose large family has gone away. From one of the sermons of John Donne comes the famous quotation: No man is an island, entire of itself, every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. Daily, North students prove this honored truth as they share the lives of their classmates and teachers, as they study the larger affairs of state, nation, and world. North students learn never to let their vision become bounded either by walls or their own personal horizons. They aspire always to being a distinguished part of the whole. Sunlight sifting through leafy branches dapples the grass beneath with a lovely lacy pattern that is never the same, yet is eternally changeless. Motion . . . purposeful, patterned confusion . , . silence. . . stillness. . . all are part of an ever chang- ing, ever changeless design. V Motion . . . stillness . . . sound . . . silence . . . the CYNOSURE has captured them all and bound them for a lifetime, and more, within its dark covers. Silence. An empty classroom over the weekends takes lon an entirely different appearance from the one lit wears during the week. Silence. An empty school ground during holidays takes on the look of one during summer vacation. Silence. An empty hall during classes adds much to the stillness at North.

School opens, September 2, l963, North High officially opens and many students from Northwest, Mineral Springs, and Hanes, see the school for the first time. Other students are well acquainted with the school by this time for they have been here for football practice, helping the Student Council with handbooks, or with the Anchor Club to put up bulletin boards. Still others spent much of their vacation time working for the Pep Club and helping the guidance counselors with schedules for hundreds of students. The first day of school passes as smoothly as possible with Mr. Gibson, principal, welcoming the entire student body to the new school. For the opening session all students are crowded into the gym. Later during this first day, the seniors, juniors, and sopho- mores, are given their homeroom assignments and schedules. School closes early for this first day only. The second day at North establishes the typical routine that is to prevail for the next l79 days till early June. Students have a chance to meet their teachers and classmates and also a chance for brief- ing on their new subjects. By mid-September the school is running so well that one might think that it has been in operation for several years rather than a few short weeks. Immedi- ately the students begin working as one unit rather than as three old rivals. Students quickly board the buses, looking forward to a fun-filled weekend.
