When the doors opened, attendance was only thirty-two, but in four years, attendance was two- hundred and seven. The offered sports were football, basketball, baseball, and track. Curriculum consisted of college entrance subjects, english, latin, greek, german, mathamatics, and science. Like all evolutionary processes, our activities and events were seedlings planted in early North history. In 1902 the Oracle spoke for the first time, and our first paid football coach assumed management. North ' s first touchdown was scored October 15, 1904 against Boone. Our school colors pink and green, were chosen in 1894 by Norths first principal. It was spring time and the com- mittee noticed how pretty the apple bloosoms were. They saw hope, joy, and spirit of youth in the green, and faith, fresh ness, and charity in the pink. 1903 was the beginning year of the flourishing organizations of art, drama, and music. Each were a leading feature of North. Other clubs were Junior Chamber of Commerce, Girls ' and Boys ' Bible clubs, Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. organizations, French club, and Debate club. The girls were busy doing service under the Red Cross Program. The fall of 1911, enrollment of North High had in- creased two-fold, with the faculty numbering eighteen. By the end of the 1907 football season, North had developed and cheered on a city championship team. North cheered yet still another winning team in 1917. That year five North boys placed on the all-city team. The years 1913 and 1914 were spent boosting for a new building. The newspapers were filled with North High ' s need. Parents, teachers, students, and alumni, working together revived the North High School spirit. Finally the breaking of the sod came true on March 23, 1914. The new building, located at 8th and College streets was finished ac- cording to promise, and in 1915 seven-hundred students and twenty-five teachers took possesion. 1907 Football City Champions 1903 North High Orchestra 1884 — Television invented 1892— The Zipper invented 1901— President McKinley assassinated 1903— First airplane 1912— Wilson became President 1917— US enters WW I 2 1920-1939 OVERCROWDING EXISTS Kr mi nia Barsetti and Gene McGuire % e rv present at their 50th reunion. held here ai North in September. i-s. -V- 8 V North II i h Drum Majorettes, 1939 North Mini) Drum Ma- jors, 1939 The fall of l ( 22. enrollment of North High increased three-fold. larger en roll men! resulted in overcrowded conditions.

Bj this time in North ' s history, more clubs were add- ed. Librar) squad, art club, camera club, student council, and science club brought much participation.

North has been very fortunate in securing teachers with great ability and enthusiasm. During the 20 - and 30 -. more sports came into the picture, e.g., tennis, golf, and swimming.

Right: Steve Larson (middle) was the first receive a 4-year Scholarship from The years 1960-1970 were the so-called care-free years. Peo- ple depended on each other and worked together to achieve goals and pleasures. There was a sense of pride as students and faculty worked together. The many clubs offered the student opportunities for developing leadership, friendships and character. Some were Drama Club, Judicial Board, Inter-City Council, Foreign Exchange, Pep Kadets, and Flag Twirlers, Dolphins, and Letterman ' s Club. The first couple years of the 70 ' s, individualism became impor- tant and was stressed not only in school, but outside of school. Peo- ple became concerned for themselves as opportunities to express their feelings grew in number. Lowering of the voting age is one ex- ample. Participators were few. Enrollment certainly had played its part. In 1965, enrollment was 1500. In two years, several factors en- forced a change. With the completion of Hoover High in 1967, m prospective North students enrolled at Hoover. Also, boundary A changes compelled more students to attend East. North exists in an older part of town with little room for new housing. A large share of the homes are occupied by retired persons. Whether North lives or dies, lies in the hands of the School Board, administration, and parents. During the early 1970 ' s many new courses were introduced to provide for individual interests with an emphasis on career educa- tion. Some are Creative Writing, Journalism Graphics, Semantics, Public Issues, Music Theater, and AFJROTC. © Group efforts did not totally die out in the 70 ' s. The North High Band spent eight days in Hawaii in 1972, and performed in the 100th annual King Kamehameha Day Celebration. The trip was made possible by a personal invitation from the Govenor of Hawaii. ■ They were so well received that they received an open invitation to I return, which they did in 1975. The 1970-1971 basketball season was one of sadness and I success. In mid-December the teams coach, Jimmy Lyle, died of a I heart attack but the Comeback Kids , as they were known, finished the season with a 20 win — 3 loss record. The 1974 football team, with an 8-1 record earned the right to compete in the state playoffs. Girls ' atheletics became more evident, with the starting of basket- ball, track, and softball. 1.

MEMORIES OF YESTERDAY 1975-1976 To Be Remembered For Changes, Innovations The year 1976 proved to be an innovative one. A new class offered was Learning Disabilities, taught by Mrs. Mary Lynn Jones. As a result of a fall survey, new clubs such as Book Club, and P.E.P., an active part of Pep Club, were started. North ' s wrestling team grew to 18 members. Increased religious awareness brought more students to Bible Study. Creative Writing students prepared much of their work to be published in a city-wide publication. The football team gave students something to cheer about, as they tied for second place in the Metro. Also, gym op- tions were expanded providing a wider selection of activities. Obviously a big change, was the possibility of closing North, which brought much community concern. 76 Achievements make memories 1976 was a great year. The band, which performed at the State Marching Band Contest, received a 1 -rating for the fifth consecutive year. Support for the band was shown by various activities. A Chili Supper was held in an effort to raise money for their trip to Washington D.C., as a part of the Bicentennial Celebrations. Pep Club was super involved. They sponsored more parties and held two paper drives. An all-school Halloween Party was a success, as was their Children ' s Christmas Party. Three years ago, Mr. Ligouri ' s Public Issues classes began a Toys for Tots project, which has continued through this year. Al Holm participated in the Drake Advocacy at Drake University, receiving a trophy. Music theater packed in large audiences for their musicals, and helped celebrate the bicentennial with Yankee Doodle. Close to 200 students graduated in 1976. WHAT WILL THE FUTURE PREDICT?? LEFT WILL NORTH HIGH SCHOOL EXIST IN THE YEARS TO COME? THAT QUESTION SEE M ED TO BE IN MANY PEOPLES ' MINDS AND SPARKED MUCH CONCERN THIS YEAR. CLOSING NORTH WAS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO TWINDELING ENROLLMENT. THIS NEWSPAPER OF THE FUTURE MAY BE CLOSER TO THE PRESENT.

School Starts Registration was held on September 2, 1975, which of course was one of the hottest days of the year. This was only the second yea r that self-scheduling had been used, so it was just as confusing for seniors and juniors as it was for the sophomores.

With only seven returning starters Coach Alex Glann put together another winning season. For the third year in a row, the Polar Bears finished second in the Metropolian Conference with a 5-2 record. The season started slow with a non-conference loss to Ankeny, a win over the Rough Ri ders, and another loss to Lincoln. The deter- mined Polar Bears bounced back for a Homecoming victory over Hoover, and then rolled over their next three opponents, setting up a showdown Right: Tim Larson shows his enthusiasm after a touchdown. with Dowling for the Metro cham- pionship and a State Play-off berth. Although the Polar Bears fought their hearts out and lost, they still had a victorious season. The offense was led by the rushing of Kevin Carroll and Ricky Townsell, who combined for fifteen touchdowns. Jeff Weeks and his favorite target, Mike Holland, provid- ed a potent aerial attack which ac- counted for 635 yards and four touchdowns. Defense was the key to much of the Polar Bears ' success. The leading tacklers were Jim Cave, Mark Butts, Mike Ballard, Terry Butts, Mike Sharr, and Tom Clay. Jim Cave, Mike Ballard, Mike Holland, and Gary Lewis were honored by being chosen to the First Team All-Metro unit. Cave was further honored by being selected to Second Tarn All-State. This years ' football program was altered by dropping the sophomore schedule and allowing all players to participate on the varsity team. The J. V. team, consisting of varsi- ty reserves, played a four game schedule. Although they were vic- torious in only one game, a lot of valuable playing experience was gained. 19 IHHHBIHHHHHH Top left: Coach John MacDonald watches intensely.

Hazen stated, The team has strong backs, a lot of heart, alot of wind, but very little wins. The team began the season with a total of nine and ended up with only four members. And with that small of membership only individual ac- complishment can be expected. The people that stuck it out can really be commended for a hard job well done, they are the ones that carried the load. In the water this fall the girls ' swimming team worked hard, but not enough participa- tion in this area also burdened them. The team consisted of thirteen members, three of which were eighth and ninth graders. Although the team had no overall wins, Senior Captain Barb Inman set some new school records. With a time of 2:50.9 in the 200 yard individual medley and a time of 26.4 in the 100 yard butterfly. Six of the thirteen members were awarded school letters, four of whom should return to the team next fall. Mr. Mortenson was coach. While the two above sports were going on, the girls ' gym had much action as the volleyball team practiced and played. Although the team worked very hard they didn ' t pull off any wins in metro competition. One contributing factor to this once again was the lack of members. Team coach was Mrs. Muell.

Many changes were made in homecoming, all seeming to be for the better. The queen, instead of be- ing announced at halftime of the game, was announced at the spirit week assembly. Because North ' s homecoming fell on a Thursday night, the dance was then held on Friday night with music provided by Road . Many couples were rushed for time, but for most people, Homecoming, Together We Stand 1975 was fun. Many thanks to the Living History Farms for their cooperation in the taking of these pictures. 29 Spirit and pride are found beneath the toilet paper at the pep assembly. Queen announced as part of Spirit Week Our homecoming was one to the first ones in the city, occuring September 25. Spirit week, which was planned by Pep Board, con- sisted of the traditional events, and the annual pep assembly which this year announced the Queen. Social committee with the help of Al Graziano and chairpersons Kathy Rich and Barb Inman planned and organized the parade, float and dance. AFJROTC provided escorts for the court at the game and par- ticipated in the parade. Signs like this one were very common in the halls during spirit week.

A new division sponsored by Pep Club called peo- ple experiencing people (P.E.P.) was formed to bring North closer together. A fashion show and a Howdy- Doody party were held, but lack of involvement was easily recognizable. Those who attended, however, en- joyed themselves. A Halloween party co-sponsored by Afro Club turned out to be a great success. There were booths and games, and later a dance. Estimated attendence at the affair was 150. Afro Club ' s main purpose this year has been getting blacks involved in their club and school. They planned many trips and are trying to get students interested in the various fields of journalism. They also made Thanksgiving baskets for the needy. f • IAN Center right: Bryan Kanis and Joe Smith do their thing at the Halloween Party.

Those in Stu- dent Council had to struggle for ideas to make money and again lack of support caused most fund-raising projects to fall.

Oracle Staff ex- changes ideas, improves paper This year ' s Oracle staff, although small in number, put out a paper which proved to be both entertaining and informing to the student body. The Oracle managed to stay self-supporting even though subscription sales were low. By exchanging ideas and through a lot of hard work, the staff improved the paper by changing the paper type, format and adding other special effects. Staff members attended a Journalism Workshop at Iowa State early in the fall, sharing ideas with other schools ' publications ' staffs.

The committee, headed by Linda Mellgren, was also responsible for a great deal of help on the Homecoming float i 1 That feeling called SPIRIT Spirit— something every school needs and that which could be found in North ' s auditorium every Friday. Pep Assemblies provided students with an opportunity to make noise they couldn ' t make in class. Students participated in skits, poems and other activities. The football players cheered in cheerleading outfits and presented a humorous side to summer training. Cheerleaders will never forget doing the Can-Can, and spelling Eat instead of Beat Lincoln on their greenies. Darry Bailey had poems for all of the games that told of the fate of others in the Bear ' s hands. Cheerleaders can Can-Can. Dancing, something new to pep assemblies added a different touch and brought the Roller Coaster to North High. The warm sun and fresh air kindled spirit and enthusiasm at North ' s only outdoor assembly. 41 5k 5 Concert Choir Sings Out ' 76!

At Homecoming, ROTC was there to help with the parade to Lincoln and provided escorts to walk with the princesses and the queen. A fall car wash and a raffle gave the group close to $200.00.

The spirit by the fans this year was unbelievable. It helped the team in so many ways, commented Bryan Kanis. Although the record books show only a 5-14 record, Polar Bear fans can testify to the fierce pride shown by the North cagers throughout the season. The players dis- played hustle and determination in their quest for victory. The offense was led by Bryan Kanis with 171 points, followed by Mike Holland with 138 points, and Mike Mitchell with 101 points. The Pat Snodgrass Award, which is given to the most dedicated player on and off the court, was awarded to Calvin McKelvogue. Mike Holland recieved an award for snatching the most rebounds and Bryan Kanis was award- ed best defensive player of the year. An award for the most assists was given to Mike Mitchell and Matt Ellis was given an award for having the best free throw percentage. Jeff Weeks was chosen to be next year ' s captain. Greg Patton, Marty Miller, and all of the players listed above were letter winners. y Bears hustle for loose ball. Sophs end season 3-15 Although the record was not as good as other years, this years sophomore team should provide some good players for the varsity next year. Many of the games were very close, and in eight of the losses there was less than a six point difference. A number of sophs played on the var- sity team this year, including Greg Patton, Dino Hunley, and Kevin Nichols. Brad Chafa eludes Lincoln defender. Above: Steve Potts looks for open man.

Even though we lost a lot we stayed together as a team, stated Girls ' Varsity Forward Brenda Massey. Even though this year ' s girl ' s basketball team ended with a losing record, the girls learned a lot from the teamwork put into the practices and the games they played. Although the team wasn ' t victorious overall the members individually accomplished goals. Three of the girls on the squad received honorable mention on All-City which is voted on by all of the coaches in the city. The players that received this honor were Kim Caswell, forward, Nancy Goode, guard; and Shelly Erickson, guard. Another outstanding team member, Brenda Massey, represented North in the free throw contest at State and placed second making 23 out of 25 shots. To sum it all up, Shelley Erickson said, This year our team was really close. When we were playing, we weren ' t only playing for our team and ourselves, but we were playing for North and all of it ' s students. Top: Senior Abbie Poage awaits the pass from the guard court.

The number of girls on the team posed a problem, but it also made the team work closely as a total team. This season the Bears were under the coaching of Cherrie Mortese, a physical education teacher at McCombs Jr. High School. Mortese stated that the sophs all had potential and they all got a lot of valuable playing in this season. She also said that she is really looking forward to next year and enjoys working and being involved with young people. Scoff SecA70i ec strives to win.

Yankee Doodle was different from all other plays in one way. There was no cast so everyone was on stage the whole time. Muriel Bancroft narrated the entire show and introduced various skits at their proper time. Bill Bird and Scott Gibson told the stories of Johnny Appleseed, Thomas Edison, and Ben Franklin. Tamasel Lundy portrayed Paul Revere on his famous mid- night ride. Other stories included were the story of Pikes peak, how the first steam engine was formed, and where Valentine ' s Day came from. The music theater classes also presented matinees for elementary and junior high schools at North. The show was well received and was a success.

North High Christmas Holiday spirit was found everywhere in the few weeks before Christmas. North High clubs joined in the spirit and sponsored many ac- tivities. Pep club held a party for people at North who had little friends between the ages of 3-7. Mr. Ligouri ' s classes held a party tor un- derprivileged kids. They provided the presents and refreshments. Christmas brings out the best in peo- ple and this year was no exception. North proved to be full of good cheer by sponsoring so many programs to help make everyone ' s Christmas happy. People traveling downtown were reminded of Christmas by twinkling eyed Santas. Trees bring a special lighting into homes and hearts.

Although attendance was low at these rallies, the response was fairly good. The winter sports which the varsity squad cheered at in- cluded varsity basketball and swimming.

The team was there to support North High so the team deserves more support. Wrestling is a very physical sport that requires a lot of muscle. Brains are also needed to think out the moves as shown by one of the g rap piers right. 68 Debbie Fuller, Pam Corsbie, and Linda Corsbie spent many hours after school to provide students with pep tags.

Community leaders Jim Rychel, Jim Robertson, and Herman Miller (Bottom picture) were featured speakers. Parents and students got involved in writing letters to school board members, sending | petitions, creating signs, and instigating support programs. 4 CLOSE NQFIH AS L0NCA5 IT STAND UTli STAND B Silhouetted against the lights, parents learn the bunny hop. 50 ' s dance makes money Raising money for the band to go to Washington D.C. was no easy task for the Band Boosters. A 50 ' s dance was scheduled for February 14th, but due to a blizzard and icy roads, it had to be postponed. The Stardust Serenade was then held on February 21. With the jazz band providing the music and the Band Boosters suppling the manpower, the dance was well organized and attended by many. Older couples find dancing a way to relax.

Below: Parents join in on the fun. 76 Band plays on and on Knowing the band would soon be leaving for Washington D.C., money problems started coming into view. The 50 ' s dance, which was held a month before was a success, but more money was needed. So a Band-a- thon was planned. Every member of the band, raised sponsors. With so much energy, the Band-a-thon proved succesful, and raised a lot of money that would make the trip to Washington D.C. possible. Jerri Burgett clowns around with a shriner.

Five North High juniors represented North as they went on the United Nations Trip over spring vacation. The students were Sue Poore, Ron Rychel, Olga Hansen, Kevin Donly, and Gale Seymour. Gale summed up the trip this way— I thought the trip was one of the greatest ex- periences of my life! Not only did we get to see some places that I never dreamed I ' d see, but I made many great friends from all over the city. Olga Hansen made this comment— Next year, my hope is that a larger percen- tage of North High juniors will apply. On April 15 and 16, the AFJROTC Cadets took their annual trip to Offutt Air Force. The highlight of the trip was the visit to the Command Post of the Strategic Air Com- mand and Looking Glass, the airborne command post.

Girls ' season looks good The girls softball teams looks good for the 1976 season. With 36 girls trying out and only 22 positions its tough competition and all the girls are excellent. Last year the girls came in 3rd in the metro with just enough girls to make one team. This year ought to bring the girls further. There are many returning lettermen. And several sophs-to-be. Under the coaching of Paul Oderkirk and Mr. Harker, the girls will get all the help possible. Girls show skill in these pictures at a pre season practice. 80 Girls finish 5th in sectionals Led by Tammy Lundy, Jan Grey, and Annette McCullough, the girls golf team placed fifth out of ten teams in the Sectional Tournament. The girls overall record in dual meets was 3-6 with victories coming against Tech, East, and Urbandale. I think the girls are encouraged and enthused with their progress. They plan to play all summer to keep the skills sharp and to improve, commented Coach Martin Pillers. The boys ' golf team didn ' t win a meet this year, but they are young and should be tough in the coming years. Ted Rogers gets set to tee-off.

Soph L.J. Boyd stated We ' re chalking this year up to experience, but we ' ll be back next year. Only two seniors are leaving the team the rest will be returning. The out look is good. If, ' The two returning letterman Dan Wickett, and Jim VanArkel show their talents in the two above pictures. Improvement shown this season, girls win four matches. Girls tennis coach Mrs. Muell stated, ' This year the girls have improved very much. If the four returning lettermen will practice this summer they will go a long way. We should have a fifty-fifty chance next year. This year North won four matches, and thats an improve- ment over previous years only winning one match in 1975. Sophomores Barb Chpppas and Ginny Jones did very well in the districts, almost beating Lincoln ' s number two doubles team. The outlook is very good for the future. The girls enjoyed the season very much and the weather was great throughout the season. With the experience gained this year next year will be a very successful year. f Girls demonstrate their techniques at the Birdland courts at a practice during 1976.

The Oracle returned to newsprint and a more traditional 5 column by 16 inch size. The yearbook retained the same number of pages, but reduced itself to an 8V2 by 11 book. The editor of the yearbook this year was Diane Appell and the co- editors of the Oracle were Kris Keith and Pat Green.

From the traditional kidnap to constant teasing, sophomores put up with a lot. That first year is one to be remembered. Freedoms and responsibilities increase as juniors try out for Varsity activities, the U.N. Trip, etc., get a job, and plan for their senior year. With being a senior comes leadership, responsibility and maturity. This is the year for planning the future. Scholarships, senior ac- tivities, Office Ed, and DECA, are just a few of the opportunities. 120 seem to have misplaced my napkin. Has anyone seen it, asks Becky Munzenmaier. 1976, our Nation ' s 200th birthday, found many people reminiscing about the past and speculating about the future, and North High seniors were no ex- ception. The 1976 Graduating Class was asked what their most memorable experience was during their years at North, or what they would like to be remembered by. These answers appear by their names. The activity directory is at the end of the senior section. Mike McClure has found the solution to that problem cow-lick John King plays Weathervane while the others speculate about his predictions.

I ' d recommend the internship program because if you know what you want to do, it offers experience. If you don ' t know what you want, this is a good way to try something, stated Tracy Frein (upper left) who participated in the Executive Internship Program this past year with the Register and Tribune in their Commercial Art Department. Also participating in the program was Jim Hay (upper right) who worked with County Attorney General Ray Fenton. Jim is planning to enter law school so this was excellent experience for him. Two other seniors engaged in this program were Pat Green and Jeff Cannon. Pat worked with the Parks Dept. and Jeff worked at Methodist Hospital in surgery. Senior Activities Directory ADAMS, REX A.

Perhaps getting involved in varsity ac- tivities, or kidnapping the sophomores, come to mind. The junior year is the middle year and it seems to be a restless one too. Yet it passes by quickly, with the good times, classes, and friends to fill it up. The middle year is a most unique one. You can reminisce about the past, and look ahead with anticipation to the graduating year and all that ' s to come. o 140 mm LuAnn Anderson Chas Atkinson Darry Bailey Harry Bailey Vicki Bailey Dan Baker Mike Ballard Peter Ballard Muriel Bancroft Shir Ian Beavers Ellen Bice Bartt Bendixen Vicky Bertelsen Henry Bevel John Bidwell Sandy Bird Doug Blatt John Bragg Debra Brooks Dorrian Brooks Donnie Buckner Lori Burtord Lynn Burgett Terry Burgett Cheryl Calland Kim Cannon Brenda Cardwell Kaylene Carr Jeft Chance Don Cheatan Cheryl Chelswig Mark Chidester Tom Chiles Shery Christotferson John Clark Chas Clough Rich Cottman Lorene Conner Bret Cook Diane Cooper Brenda Cornwell Matt Cox Dave Crosby Tom Davison Ingred Deering Sandy DeFazio Ron Denning Kevin Donly Gregg Dubbs Lori Durret Ed Egh Johnny Ellesin Matt Ellis Mark Fedson Dennis Fife Mary Fisher Sherri Ford Leon Foster Randy Foster Bryan Fousek Terri Foutch Carol Fowler Chris Frank Chas Franklin Becki Frein Nancy Fries Terry Fritz Richard Fuller Karen Fuson Patti Gahman Ml 142 Jim VanArkle is shown here with one of his art works that Brenda Massey did drawings for the City- Wide Publica- has been displayed. tion.

They brought with them many new ideas to the school, maybe even open- ing new doors and possibilities for the future. Right: Jim Wong was often seen in Mrs. Kelly ' s room. He was a help to the journalism graphics students because of his experience with photography and layouts. Below: Mr. Treichler takes time out from his job of greeting visitors to the DECA Convention. Lower Right: Special Japanese delegates visit North High as part of their tour of superior Iowa schools. J Field Trips North ' s music department made some different field trips this year. The choir went to Bussy to perform, and the band was honored to be in a parade The Tulip Festival ' in Pella. Both of these groups supported our school very well. These perfor- mances were the students major ex- ams in these courses. Shelly Erickson smiles at the people watching the parade. Robin Rae perform in the parade at Pella. Lori Burford and Brenda Massey carry the North High banner in the Tulip Festival at Pella. Below: The choir performs for the people of Bussy, Iowa. Tim Steele accompanies the North High concert choir. North performs services for In the academic area this year, various ser- vices were performed by students, faculty, and other North High supporters. Ranging from school publications to a tiny tot day care center, the projects proved to be rewarding to all. Not only did the organizers profit from the ex- perience, but the school and surrounding com- munity were also helped in many ways. A paper drive was started by Pep Club to raise money for an activity board. Below: Denise Richards gives Gary Lewis a helping hand. The Journalism Dept. produced both the school newspaper and year- book during the year. Below: Cindy Buttz works as ad manager of the Oracle. 162 community and school Among other projects, signs were put up urging students and faculty to help avoid the closing of North. The band performed for the school and at various locations throughout the country. Left: Joanne Gilliland plays the xylophone.

These vocational skills often provide enough instruction to acquire a job in related fields upon graduation. Right: Ramona Smith illustrates one of the many business skills which are available to North students. Above: Jim Hay goes over work with County Attorney Ray Fenton. Jim was a part of the executive internship program at North. Industrial Arts courses teach skills which provide a good opportunity for jobs upon graduation. Right: vMally Cheshire works on a project in metal shop. I f J 164 I learn vocational skills Above: Accounting and other business classes were popular this year. Right: Students are able to get practical experience with cars in Auto Mechanics. Above: Mr. Funte taught one of his classes the techniques of printing of Old Bessie . Right: 15 to 18 students of Mr. Koester ' s remodeling class completed work on a house within a year which is located on 15th Street. c co uj O Variety of learning There are many different ways that a person can expand themselves. When a teacher uses variety in the way they teach, this makes a subject more interesting to the student and the student can usually learn more. Variety also is fun, and that is what these pictures show. Pam Corsbie and Debbie Fuller make tags to support North. Above: Students work on a chemistry experiment. Right: Lori Steel practices piano that she plays in the Jazz Band. 166 Co-ed courses become popular at North (0 CD International Women ' s Year brought changes even to North High. More co-educational classes were offered, so the teachers and students had the option of trying new and different things. Because of a decrease in the number of re- quirements needed for graduation, students were also offered a wider variety and selection of both vocational and academic courses. m I Many business courses are including guys in their attendance. Here: Matt Ellis types up a job in Typing I. Below: Faculty make changes in the chart which lists all of the times each class if offered. This list was used for self-scheduling. rtr 2 iwii am a ii Below: Traditional roles are still played at North.

Custodians not only cleaned but improvised rain catchers for drippy ceilings. MARY JO MORVAK and P.E.P. were initiators of the paper drive to gain funds to make the activities board, and the Halloween party with Afro Club. Cafeteria employees also gave more than they had to by serving at banquets and fund raising chili suppers. Pancake ticket and S.A.T. sales would probably not go so smoothly without the help of Swim Coach Bob Lawson. Many members of the community helped North by attending events such as this Orientation night. The halls would not have been so colorful without the help of Art Club posters. A small group of ROTC Cadets continually raised the school flag with honor each day. Mr. Mary Helen Muell Mr. and Mrs. Carl R.

Alice 108 Linda Mellgren: Going to Hawaii with the Band, being with my friends, and teasing Fred. Jim Palmer: What I really liked the best was doing my solo in Guys and Dolls, and all the friends I made. Sandra Matt son : My good memories of the 3 years at North were the good times I had with friends, the time when everybody showed their love for North by fighting to keep their school, and also, in 1974, when we had an almost undefeated football team. Mike McClure: I ' ll remember playing in the 1974 football playoffs, and also in my senior year. Nancy Peckham: My best memories of my three years at North were musicals, especially Brigadoon, and Guys and Dolls, tepeeing the foot- ball teams houses and the school den, and giving Mr. Phillips a hard time in 4th Hour government. Philip Bueford: I ' m gonna remember the good experiences in Music Theater, Choir, All State, The Bicentennial Choir, and solo con- test.
