ime Flow hrough ?.i?i'0iE?f0' When the doors of North High opened and the students approached the building many began to wonder how long the year would last. Would time pass by quickly or would the year seem to never end. Early in the year the yearbook staff chose the theme, Time flows tbrougb... This theme was chosen because just as a river flows, so does the time one spends in high school. Our years spent at North flow by and take us with them as we journey into the future. But the memories that we hold from North will never end. As the new freshmen and sophomores took their first steps to the school they found North somewhat different than junior high. The school was considerably larger, the atmosphere more relaxed, and an open lunch was provided for those who did not want to eat in the cafeteria. On the first day of school the seniors had a little surprise for their underclassmen, they greeted them with toilet paper strung from the 1 3th St. bridge clear around onto the front lawn and trees. For the retuming juniors and seniors the struc- ture of the building didn't change, but new and young faces were seen in the halls. Enrollment was 1,289 students. Among the new faces were 16 new faculty and administration members. Dr. Bob Anderson was the new principal. Dr. Ron Mclntire was chosen as the new superintendent for the Wichita Public Schools. After the second day of school the Board of Education enforced the heat schedule due to the extremely hot weather. The schedule made school begin at 7:00 a.m. before the sun was up and let out at 1:45 p.m. During this time no . 1 i l ,Qi l la 'Isl 'il ji' r. ,r in . .. M, wail!

This made a long mor- ning but being able to come back from lunch and only have one hour left made for a nice short afternoon. After approximately three weeks the schedule was taken off and almost everything was back in order. The question of whether or not a nutri- tion break was necessary was again brought up. Several teachers were unhappy on how the 15 minute break was being handled, so a vote was taken among the faculty. The majority of teachers agreed that a nutrition break was beneficial. Nutrition break was reestablished in- to second hour. Problems concerning tardiness were handled by having a detention which included a Satur- day morning make up time. Even with all of the new changes the students kept their spirit and tradition and let the school year flow smoothly.
