You gazed with awe at the spaciousness of the Thdf WCS NORTH- The auditorium came alive during practice sessions and assembly. lt was into the auditorium that the seniors proudly walked as the remainder of the stu- dent body stood. And how the seniors loved that!!! The administrative offices were near the foyer across from the auditorium, but this was not the only place the principal could be found. l-le seemed to be al- most everywhere at once. Beyond the foyer was the cafeteria which was the scene of much activity twice each day as students rushed in to get their lunches. But soon it was cleared of students and the rattling of dishes and pans and the voices of the cafeteria staff were the only sounds to be heard. FQREWORD new school, and you felt as if your whole world had come crashing down upon you. You were sure you would never find your classes on time and you would be separated from your iunior high friends. . .And a sincere desire to be anywhere else came flooding over you. But then you saw someone coming. lt was ci stran- ger, but one with such a warm, friendly smile. He gave you information in a friendly sort of way and took his time to personally guide you where you were supposed to be. Greeting you there was an understanding teacher with a cheerful smile-one that made you feel that you belonged. And it was here that you were guided through the years to make the most of your time. You under- stood the real meaning of the school-the purpose for which it was founded and why everyone was so loyal. You understood that one gets from something what he puts into it. And you began to grow up-intellectually, spirit- ually, socially, emotionally, and physically. Many of your experiences in such growth have been captured in word and picture to make THE VIKING for 1957 truly one to quicken the memories you hold so dear...memories you may relive as though . . YOU ARE THERE . .
