to Laugh . . . Cry . . . Dream . . . and Grow Youth is a fast moving, ever changing, ever chal- lenging time; it is the period in our lives when we search to find meaning and purpose for existence and to gain knowledge and understanding. As youth we experience many pressures, demands, and re- strictions as we struggle to reach these goals, but we are also afforded unlimited opportunities for suc- cess. Everywhere we go we find friends to laugh with, activities to enjoy and to serve the school and community. We find the satisfaction of accepting and fulfilling responsibilities and the pleasure that comes from developing talents and interests. Whether in the classroom, on the football field, or at a school dance we find answers to our ques- tioning. To capture every facet of youth we are constantly on the move. We realize that to keep our outlook and goals realistic we must be active and accept responsibility, but we also realize that youth is a time to pause, and to gain insight into what we really want and need in life. Youth is a time for growth in all areas, and North High has fulfilled an important role by providing the machinery for youth to reach out for success. North students will never forget their time of youth. —5—
