BY FALL ’82 It seemed that everything had changed. Over the summer, new rooms had been added where none had existed before. We ate our lunches in different surroundings, kept our belongings in a different locker area, followed new schedules, studied our lessons in different classrooms with new teachers, and — strangest of all — found ourselves sharing our space with hundreds of new students. It was, truly, a new North ... Most of us returned to the Comprehensive Program, choosing a ‘'standard'’ academic curriculum. Although our courses were similar to those offered last year, we found that the expansion of the school opened up several new areas for us to explore. Socially, the change was greater. A new racial pairing plan meant that one-third of our majority students went to Edison High School each trimester, and one-third of theirs came here. The idea made some of us uneasy at first, but it seems to have worked. We all got to know a lot more people, and Nordeast” doesn’t seem so much like foreign territory any more. 28
