Dedicated T S 0 t 0 With excitement in her voice, School Board president Georgia Jecklin exclaimed, ffOur students can be proud of the education they receive in Davenport. With the opening of North High School, I am confident that the tradition of excellence that abounds in our schools will become an intricate part of the Wildcat heritage. The controversial issue within the com- munity to convert Wood Junior High into North along with the decisions to build a new VVood and an addition to Central High School was considered and studied for approval early in 1984. During this year, senior Michelle Kauf- mann represented North at monthly meet- ings, adding her opinion when necessary. lt was a valuable experience and I met many interesting people, stated Kaufmann. - , A of E Q me 4 at is ' ' ff L, ff . 5, ,.. is X X School Board representative Michelle Kaufmann intently takes notes at one of the monthly meetings.

De oted Leader Excitement? Come on! No high school has an exciting administration. Most run their schools like boot camps, or even Worse, prisons. But the Home of the Wildcats was different. North was proud to claim not only an energetic administration, but also a very enthusiastic and supportive one. North had an administration which backed every aspect the school had to offer. Everything from extra-curricular activi- ties to excellence in academic achievements were encouraged. Principal, Dr. Paul E. Johnson commented, The opportunities for North are unlimited and I am sure that our school will continue the fine examples set in the past by Central and West and I believe that North will exceed all expectations in all areas. As for the operation of the school, the administrators were not the commanders, nor were they the wardensg instead they took a more central routeg they became comrades with the students. They were fair judges who discussed problems and listened to sugges- tions of the students before they handed out verdicts. Gradually we all became family , shar- ing ups and downs as we daily influenced each other. Activities Supervisor, Mel Warner shows his school spirit on Official T-shirt Day. Photo: M. Mueller.
