Remodeling gives new appearance Veteran Redskins probably noticed a few changes as they returned from their summer vacation. After 52 years of the same old restrooms, they received a total facelift. Also, a new row of drinking fountains was placed at either end of Senior Hall. Until this year one could walk the halls at lunchtime or sit on a staircase and eat their lunch. However, this practice caus- ed a few problems. Miscellaneous trash dotted the halls constantly, making scenery around North High resemble the aftermath of a rock concert. Thus, a new policy was instituted, specifying that food was allowed only in the cafeteria. New trees replaced dying ones on the campus. Young Red Oaks, Maples, Ash, and Redbuds were planted to provide beauty throughout the seasons. Students were off to a full year of new things. Challenges and achievements never before encountered were on the horizon ready to be searched out and conquered. 1' oening rl' 7 it
