He put his orm down, lifted it up to reolize the messoge wos now disployed on thot orm. He glonced on the floor ond discovered o neotly folded piece of poper. He reoched for it, unfolded it, ond reod obout some of the lotest hot gossip. Astonished by whot he reod, he then wolked to the teocher's desk ond osked permission to use the restroom. Once he received the teocher's Sophomores permission, he ventured to the bothroom where he leorned thot Joey loves Jenny ond whot were the telephone numbers of ot leost o dozen other students. For mony Red Knights, toking out o sheet of poper ond o pen for notes meont thot the teocher's dictoted notes would not be scribbled on thot poper. lnsteod, poinstoking core ond mony intense hours were spent writing in secret codes, foncy script, ond just ploin print. Mony students resorted to secret codes in cose their notes were picked up by o teocher or even on innocent bystonder, ond oll their most in- timote secrets ond privote gossip wos reveoled. For those students who hod no poper, the desk or toble tops become fresh pods of poper. Desks olso served os o hondy ploce to get o little needed help on tests, os well os get informotion on the lotest school romonces. These were merely o few of the woys thot Red Knights conveyed their messoges. Neotly or sloppily written, secretly delivered or reveoled on o desk top or bothroom woll, North's Red Knights found woys to communicote. ,

For mony, thot luxury wos not offordoble. A Iorge percentoge of North's students found it necessory to hold jobs in oddition to cop- ing with their school responsibilites. Most students' jobs were considered port-time employment. They included working ot fost-food restouronts, conve- nient STOFGS, deportment stores, super- morkets, discount stores, shoe stores, cord shops, ond in offices. ' Noturolly, Red Knights would hove preferred hoving free time for more en- joyoble octivities like going to the beoch, the movies, or to wild porties, but in order to porticipote in those octivities, they need- ed money. Over holf of the student body ot North High wos working by the time they were in the eleventh grode.

A few Red Knights received tips by working os woitresses in restouronts. Wherever they worked, North's students worked hord, ond were dependoble employees in the reol world of lobor.
