Spirit — not a thing of the past! North High ' s funeral? Tep was a word in many student ' s volcabulary around North High this year. With the addition of freshman, the auditorium felt a new wave of life and excitement throughout it ' s walls. Crepe and toilet paper were used frequently to decorate the otherwise dull brick walls, and posters were many times added to show the evergrowing spirit among the student body. The cheerleaders and band led the students of North High in many a cheer, and on one occasion, the fac- ulty even got into the act. With many disguised, the teachers carried a box which resembled a coffin into the noisy auditorium. They then revealed the coffin ' s contents — the North High spirit. Walt Bevel then proceeded to emerge from the box, bringing the student body to it ' s feet. Students also led many cheers and pep talks. During the Tech assembly, senior Kurt Bell gave the student body an inspiring pep talk. Pep was alive at North High once again. Walt Bevel springs from the casket, show- ing that spirit is still alive. The varsity football once again shows their enthusiasm. 14
