It is hard to explain how this school shaped 889 lives, but it did. The 1973 school year was a quiet one, but we still did things like meeting people, lear- ning, participating in clubs, challenging in sports, and living around the school. Most people find it hard to take a test well without studying, to meet a person without trying, or to be an athlete without practice. All of these things — take a lot.

1973 was hardly a year of great change. Still, there were many things that made it unique. Politics had an influence on some students with this not only being an elec- tion year, but after ten years of fighting and bom- bing, the war was over. Abortions were legalized and eighteen year olds were given full adult rights, effective July 1, 1973. Even though our athletic teams weren ' t always high scorers, the effort was always there to win. Basketball was a new sport for North ' s girls this year. They played the very first Metro game at Hoover. it was a very good year for debate as the team cap- tured more trophies than in any previous year. Qualifying for the All-State Festival Concert were eight students from North, the largest number from any Des Moines high school. Afro club ' s membership increased this year making it one of the most popular clubs in the school. The activities varied from a Haunted House in October to a fashion show in February. Many new classes were offered to benefit students in the areas of social studies, journalism, and English. The newspaper changed its look this year with a news magazine layout and writing style which caused much controversy. Homeroom met at 9 : 1 0 on Monday and Thursday in- stead of the traditional five days at 8:1 5. In January, the band was honored with an invitation to march in the Inaugural Parade. Social Committee, after discussion and considera- tion, changed North ' s Homecoming to an infor- mal dance. NIXOH- l CCORD REACHED TOEHDWARIH VIETNAM M2WI R Wit ( Free P( WEDCfflW; Poll Tmop '
