FW Traditions add touch of class Tradition has always been a large part of the North High scene. Entering its fifty-third year of existence, North's traditions are widely known, not only among Redskins, but also among most Wichitans. North's Tower remains as a major highlight of the school. With spotlights showcasing its intricate architecture, it can be seen while driving on Thirteenth street or Rochester, day or night. Stationed at his post outside of the library in Senior Hall, Butch has been trained to oversee all activity and main- tain order at all times. Butch has been a feature at North for forty-four years, after being presented by the class of '37. Without his ominous presence, Senior Hall just would not be the same. Of course, what would a year at North be without that infamous group of' seniors who make up the crew called the S-Section. A normal Friday attire for any of this bunch would be white thermal underwear underneath red shorts, and S-Section shirts with a neck-tie, topped off with cowboy hats and boots. This band of desperados is a mainstay in creating spirit in the school. Tradition is alive and well at North High, and even after one graduates from North, these traditions do not fade from memory. The horizons that are reached during the high school years are just as important afterwards as they are when they are realized. Sometimes, looking back on past accomplishments spurs peo- ple to approach new horizons. These school traditions remain an integral part of one's life forever. Along with watching the football game, jamie Valdez, soph., gets in on a little gossip from freshmen Michelle Moore and Carla Guerrero. -Af 10 ik Opening Filled with many memories, the tower waits for the graduating seniors to take their traditional walk at the conclusion of the year -2 i
