Time Brings Many Changes September, 1951! What a change there had been in the high schools of Mecklenburg County. In- stead of many, there were only three-North, East, and West. This brought about man changes in the curriculum, and that was good for many stu- dents desired more than the high schools had of- fered before. Industrial arts, business training to a greater de- gree, Latin, sociology, business law, and many other such courses were offered for the first time. By degrees other courses came-distributive edu- cation, physical education, chorus, economics, and family living among others. Then came the space age and physics took on new meaning. By means of film, the class cov- ered much more than previous classes. Advanced mathematics courses, including college algebra, were offered for those interested and capable. History through the medium of television be- came a part of North. All changes were not just in the curriculum of the school, however. The number of students had increased by the hundreds. The faculty had grown in number, and more buildings were added. A new seriousness of purpose was evidenced by students and teachers. Attitudes were changing, also. To aid the students in finding themselves and using their abilities to the utmost, the guidance program was intensified. Many more students were seeking the counseling of the adult advisers, for students were concerned about their future. Yes, changes were taking place slowly and care- fully, without confusion and haste. And these changes were in the right direction-straight ahead, denoting progress. It had been a good nine years for North.

Stands the brightest in her glory, Clear her radiance shines, Old North H igh, a priceless treasure, All our praise be thine. Lift your heads and raise your voices Clear across the sky, Now to thee, our Alma Mater, Hail to Old North High. Standing in all her majesty, shaded by the mighty oak trees, the modern structure of steel, brick, and concrete came alive when teachers and students first entered her halls and class- rooms. They came to Work, to playg to study, to dream, to learn to live in harmony: to express opinions and ideas, to listen with an open mind to others, viewpoints, to be tolerant, yet just, and to shoulder responsibilities. May it ever be so, that students come to grow . . . in mind, in body, and in spirit . . . and give meaning and life to North Mecklenburg High. An Indian summer day called the Viking staff out of doors to discuss ideas for the 1960 edition of the year- book.
