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.

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.

students begin working. Senior Jonny Burt smiles happily after winning the magazine sales. Key Club and Hi-Y members take a break while working in the con- cession stand. The first project for the student body is the maga- zine sale. Many students sell over a hundred dollars worth of magazine subscriptions. Senior Johnny Burt is the over-all winner selling 5377.22 for his school. As the days and weeks pass, students begin call- ing new faces by name and make more acquaintances each day. lt is an impossible task to get to know every student by name, but despite this fact, many students make an all-out effort to do it. The Hi-Y and Key Club, two extremely active clubs, begin the year with worthwhile projects. Both clubs tend the concession stand at games. The first big project of the Key Club is the Bundle Day drive. The Winston-Salem Kiwanis Club annually offers a trophy to the Key Club collecting the largest number of bundles. The North Club won the drive with over l7OO bundles. The trophy was North's first. The Hi-Y takes on as their first project the back breaking job of moving bleachers from Northwest Junior High to North. These are used by North's opponents. The guidance counselors are constantly on their toes and have Post High School Day planned early, since it is to be held at North. This is a day for juniors and seniors not planning to go to college. Stu- dents from several area schools come to North to listen to professional men and women talk about their careers. Key Clubbers Larry Blackburn, John Dillard, Bruce Chambers, and Bill Park unload a bicycle for the Goodwill lndustry while Artie Robb looks on.
