FCREWGRD On September 4, 1951, following the decision of the Mecklenburg School Board to consolidate the individual high schools of Cornelius, Davidson, Derita, Huntersville, and Long Creek, North Mecklenburg Senior High School first opened its doors to students. Since that initial year, North has expanded in both plant and body. A classroom wing and a gym have been built and a new wing has been planned for opening in '64. The present student body of 869 is the largest in the schoolis history. Along with the growth of the plant and the student body of the school, there has developed a spirit that is 6 indicative of the personality of North. North Mecklen- burg is characterized by a spirit of loyalty to the school and a pride in the school and its record. To instill in each student a spirit of honor, the desire for knowledge, and willingness to serve in whatever capacity one can are principles to which this institution is dedicated. Because honor, knowledge, and service are symbols of the character of North, we proudly present to the student body the seal upon which the theme of the an- nual is based. s ' 3 ,qv- .aff if OWLEDGE . I I Because of their merit in scholarship, leadership, and service to the school, outstanding upperclassmen were tapped into the National Honor Society. New members were given lighted candles as a torch of knowledge, symbolizing their past ac- complishments and their future aspirations. I I I I I I I I I I Many students satisfy intellectual curiosity by experimenting to gain a practical knowledge of man and the things that surround him. I I I I Nothing more than reading can bring the world to one's door-the world and all its peoples. I I 7 5-f Aw I ,ay .N .i . 'I CDR... Doing a job well, no matter what the job may be, brings honor to the student who does his best in whatever role he is cast. E1 To realize that that one's school work is the individual responsi- bility of each student, and to fulfill this responsibility gives the student a feeling of self-satisfac- tion and ,gains for him the re- spect of others. , .. , ., --....,.,,,,,., Nr-wi 5? J . M Enthusiastic and vigorous spirit in the support of one's school and all its activities affects all stu- dents, for enthusiasm is contagious. 'i As a service to the school, commercial students prepare the absentee list each day. They collect lists from homerooms, alphabetize them according to class, run them off on the Rexagraph and deliver them to faculty and administration. Students at North are proud of their program in cooperation with the American Field Service. They feel that they are sewing a worthy cause when they bring an exchange student to the school. Their feeling is that they profit more than the foreign student in their midst, and this experience serves well for both. ERVICE As an aid to students bound for college, North annually sponsors a College Day. Then students learn of the various opportunities offered by each college and of the requirements for entrance. After much thought and preparation, we, the 1963 Viking Staff, present to the student body a seal, which we hope will become a symbol of I I, ,,,, O North Mecklenburg High School. The seal was designed by the Viking 1,111 R oi Staff and approved by Mr. Hough, our principal.

I0 ADMINISTRATION AND CURRICULUM In our twelfth year, as always, the faculty and ad- ministrators of North Mecklenburg High School have led the students in new fields of study with dynamic new concepts in teaching. Our television classes are continuing to be taught and French lab classes are be- ing initiated this year. Grarnmar and literature classes are being rotated among various teachers, and even a new method of mathematics is being taught. Students who are advanced academically are given the opportunity to do more advanced work so that they can move as rapidly as they are capable. Nevertheless, students who find themselves unable to move at such a rapid pace are given just as much consideration. Work has been stepped up over the past few years, and in keeping with the Covernor's policy of Quality Educationf North is striving to keep abreast of the times. Mrs. Barfield discussed a novel, The Bridge of San Luis Rey with combined English classes. New Concepts i . W X 1 12 Mr. Hough and Dr. Craig Phillips, Superintendent of Charlotte- Mecklenburg School System, discussed problems of consolidation. Mr, Haynes assumed his accustomed stance behind the television to prepare the class for the day's T.V. lesson. 1 In Teaching Miss Shaw impatiently waited as Mrs. Holtz- claw, Mrs. Troutmari, and Mrs. Klutz served themselves at a Christmas tea given for the teachers. 3 Miss Merrell, who is a first year teacher, proved a theorem in basic algebra. iw r ti .b ,A t,rs4-,1 5 .., ff 'i' K .Q- Q, dur .ff 1, .cf .

They found that note taking was helpful for review at test time. English Offers Enrichment English teachers of North Mecklenburg strive to teach each student to think clearly, to read intelligently, to communicate effectively in speech and Writing, and to listen critically. They try to instill in each student a desire to read good literature for enjoyment and also for in- sight into moral and spiritual values. Three units of English are required for graduation, one unit being earned each year that a course is successfully completed. Wforld litera- ture is an elective in the field of English. Students who find a need for remedial or speed reading are given a chance to improve their reading. Spelling and Word study is an elective, also. Book reports are a requisite for a unit in English.

North offers two languages-French and Lat- in. In such courses students learn grammar and the history, culture, and literature of these people. In French emphasis is placed on speaking, listen- ing, and understanding. Through the NDEA program materials and equipment have been purchased to fa- cilitate learning French correctly. Linda Nelson and Vernessa Woodrow followed a lesson in the book as they listened to it on tape. ga I K ll 3, M +,F'x3I,'9Q5.'l--- I 1 XI -. -- Mrs. Troutman used the bulletin board to explain French lessons. y 5 crie- K C f -- Jxg?., , 20 me Q, .Kg-,,Q,gjiaL,H QA,-X-X More than ever before, mathematics is a very im- portant field of learning, and many colleges are requir- ing more courses for entrance. To meet the demand and keep abreast of the latest changes, North has added to and improved its curriculum in that field. S.M.S.G. Geometry and Algebra, Integrated Algebra and Trigo- nometry, Intermediate Mathematics, and Elementary Functions and Matrix Algebra are among the newer courses offered. Besides teaching basic fundamentals, math attempts to train in basic reasoning and practical applications of problems worked on in class. Traditional courses are still being offered, however. Many students who do not prepare for college take business math as the one required course for gradua- tion. Advanced Math Courses Offered MR. MARTIN PETERSON . . . Atlantic Christian, B. S. . . .

But many students find themselves wanting to know much more about scientific subjects and to explore the whole realm as far as possible. Thus advanced courses are offered for those who Want to delve into principles and to experiment. North offers biology, chemistry, and physics, as Well as chemistry lab classes. A part of every sophomoreis school life includes hours spent at the microscope examining plants and animals of a relatively unknown world. Sophomore Carol Woodall explored this world.

Social Studies Aid Future Decisions As Ways of living and thinking are developed, this civilization improves. This year North offered a wide variety of courses in the Social Studies curriculum, in- cluding Bible, Family Living, American History, NVorld History, and Sociology-Economics. To be informed of local and world affairs, one must have a specific amount of understanding of one's history and that of other people. History is studied not only to learn of the past but to better one's life by avoiding the mistakes made by others. But most of all, North hopes to instill in its stu- dents an appreciation and interest in past happenings and ways of life. l iw- if 25 . c p ' P '- new I V 'A-.A Q-ar' ,Q 1 A - . . , K If 1.,,,,, Band and chorus are the two courses offered in the field of music. Chorus members participated in special musical programs for the school and for the P.T.A. They also performed for organizations outside of the school. The band played at pep rallies and football games and added to the spirit of the students and other spectators. During their school years, many students take cho- rus and band in order to gain a greater appreciation of music of various types. It broadens the students, appre- ciation of all the creative arts.

Students paint, make sketches, and try their hand at sculpturing and making jewelry. In the Indus- trial Arts class, students enjoy designing and drafting. Training in the art field can lead to outstanding vocations in commercial art, advertising, and numerous other areas. Even if the students do not enter into one of these areas, training in art helps them develop an ap- preciation of good art.

Home Economics and Agriculture are two of the vocational subjects offered to the students at North. In Home Economics girls learn to plan and prepare well- balanced and appetizing meals and to sew. Agriculture offers boys a chance to learn about farming and other agricultural careers. Many hobbies develop from these courses. These boys also become familiar with tools used for sawing, sanding and planing. Home Economics and Agriculture classes teach prac- tical skills and offer chances to apply knowledge gained. Mrs. Ross and a group of her Home Economics girls made mints for the coming holiday season. Supply and Demand was the subject of the bulletin board which Harvey Sloop and Glenn Johnston used to make a point in D.E. Students who plan to work after graduation rather than go to college receive the most help from the Com- mercial Department, although many commercial stu- dents attend college. In this department students pre- pare themselves for jobs by taking Typing I, II, Short- hand I, II, Bookkeeping, Office Practice, and Secretarial Practice. Distributive Education classes prepare themselves for better jobs by gaining experience in many ways- by working, by studying salesmanship, and by study- ing production and distribution, among other things. Students learn how to dress and how to conduct them- selves in an interview, also. Moreover a knowledge of free enterprise is gained by the D.E. students. To test the proficiency of the student, many speed tests are given students in typing. Students Prepare For Jobs HQ AW? . , ' 4, PRICES gg 1 MRS. DONNA HELTON . . . High Point, B.S ....

Since Northis plant is composed of several build- ings and the campus is quite spread out, the custodian and the janitorial staff are kept busy keeping things in order. Mr. Hugh Deaton, the custodian, supervised the work of the staff, saw that the buildings were opened in the morning and closed in the afternoon. Another of his responsibilities was to see that the buildings were kept warm in winter, a job that sometimes required his coming over in the wee hours of the morning to start up the furnace. Moreover, Mr. Deaton was on duty when school activities were held at night. Numerous other jobs were his, also. Keeping things clean and polished is the work of the janitors and the maid. After each exchange of classes the halls were drv mopped to keep down as much dust as possible, and this was done again after school. Fa- cilities were scrubbed, floors mopped and waxed about twice during the year, grass mowed, and many other things done to keep things spic and span. Custodians and Janitorial Staff Keep orth Clean Sudie Cornelius, the maid, posed with her new easy-rolling cart. - Theodore Comelius, Sudie Comelius, Sylvester Houston, john Staton, members of the janitorial staff, took time out from their work to pose for the photographer. 32 i 'ff' t 'S ORGANIZATIONS 2 5, ,gg f ' P 71 ff ffl..

VIKI G Designs And Uses Seal As Theme Planning, for the 1963 Staff, began in the summer with a short session with Mr. Ron Norman and Mr. Earl McDermott of the printers. They talked to the members about features that make a good yearbook and interesting Ways to present material. It seemed easy, sitting in the shade of the oak tree, listening: however, carrying out those things called for much thought. Nevertheless work began and things began to have some form. Advertisements and subscriptions were sold, and a budget set. The Staff decided on a college-size book again, and plans were put on paper. What about a theme? It just didn't seem possible to decide on one. Then one day some of the Staff and the adviser began doodling, and from those doodles Proofing and typing required much work and concentration as shown here by Bobby Beaver, Sports Editor, and Reeva Taylor, Typist. emerged a seal, which became the theme of the 1963 yearbook. Inspired, the Staff went to work on pictures, class lists, copy, and a dozen other necessary things. just when everything seemed to be going fine, someone would misplace a picture or a class list. Then everyone had to stop work and search frantically until the lost was found. Copy was Written, discarded, and re-written. Headlines were puzzled over, written and re-written. There Were times when it seemed there just Wouldn,t be an annual. But the Staff would never give up. Such was the Work of the Viking Staff. One would think there was no enjoyment to be had in such a disorganized organization, but it was fun. Bobby Lippard, of Photography, worked with Mike Whisenant and Janice Griffin, of the Sports section. Photographer Mike Norris Cstandingh looked to see what pictures needed to be made. Checking pictures so that they could be delivered to the students were Business Manager Ginger Puckett, and Co-Editors Judy Stancil and Corinne Dotger. W M! -4' 4.4 Q2 c R .

Their purpose was to incite a more amiable relationship between students and faculty. Another goal set by the Student Council was that of gaining a better relationship between North and neighboring schools. Members of the Devotions Committee combined their ideas to come up with some original and interest- ing devotions which were presented each morning at the beginning of the first period. Another committee, the Chapel Committee, met to devise assembly programs that would be entertaining and interesting as well as educational. Many chapel pro- grams with all these characteristics were presented to the student body. A Methodist minister, Reverend Mont- ford from Davidson, addressed the student body on Be- lieving Something Doesnit Always Make It Truef' Dr. Craig Phillips, Superintendent of Charlotte- Mecklenburg County Schools, talked to the students about developing educational and physical qualities. Representatives of the sponsors of Junior Achievement discussed and demonstrated the advantages of this or- ganization. Northis students gained knowledge and en- joyment from these and other well-planned programs. Blythe. Dr. Workman, a favorite of Nortlfs students, spoke on Who Should Attend College in assembly to initiate College Week. AMP Planning the interesting devotions given each morning was the Devotions Com- mittee. Members were Rebecca Robinson, Gwen VV'hitley, chairman, and Barbara The responsibility of lining up chapel programs was given to these: Jane Bates chairman, Will Brown, Reita Pendry, and Roy Cox. 37 --f 3395- -+355 V ' 'L While enjoying refreshments on College Day, the college representatives and their guides were able to get better acquainted. Pictured here are Mr. Allen from High Point College, jean Long, Mr. Creech from Wake Forest, Gwen Whitley, Vicki Baker, and Mr. Hardesty from Brevard College. Hospitality Committee Encourages Friendliness To create a friendlier, more enthusiastic atmos- phere at North was the goal of the Hospitality Commit- tee, which was responsible for the activities of College Day. These activities included contacting the colleges, greeting and guiding the college representatives, and serving the guests coffee and doughnuts after the ses- sions were over. The committee was also required to greet and wel- come new students. When a new student entered North's doors, members welcomed him and announced his ar- rival in the North Star. When a Rebel became seriously ill, an announcement was made in the school newspa- per by the Hospitality Committee. 5122 Vera de Moraes pointed out an interesting idea at the Hospitality Committee'5 planning session for College Day. Other members in- cluded Rebecca Robinson, Zoe Hough, Jimmy Poole, Currie Johnston, and Phyllis Wagner. The Coast Cuard Representative and his guide, Dixie Cochrane, joined in conversation during the social hour following the Col- lege Day Proceedings. 38 Members of the Social Committee discovered there could be a lot of work in the planning of social functions. Sewing on this committee were: FIRST ROW: Vicki Baker, Mildred Hope. SECOND ROW: Pat Moore, Dixie Cochrane, Rebecca Robinson. THIRD ROW: Phyl- lis Wagner, jane Bates, Perry Smith. FOURTH ROW: Tommy Man- ning, Fred Kerr, Grover Meetze. North students and graduates enjoyed dancing to the music of the combo at the annual Homecoming Dance. Social Committee Sponsors Homecoming Dance To begin their year's work, the Social Committee planned the first event of the year, which was the Soph- omore Sock Hop. There the new Rebs had a chance to become better acquainted with class members and some of N orth's upperclassmen. In preparation for the Homecoming Dance, a semi- formal affair, the committee chose as their theme, The Old South and created novel decorations in pastel col- ors to carry out the theme. Graduates, upperclassmen, and sophomores enjoyed dancing to the music of Boyce Roberts, Combo. They also enjoyed the punch and cookies which were served. Mrs. Ross, Miss Shaw, Mrs. Kluttz, and Mr. Hough en- joyed the activities along with the students and gradu- ates. In order to promote better school relations, the So- cial Committee strove to create more interesting activi- ties. ' Work done by the Social Committee was appreciated by students who attended the Homecoming Dance. 39 Exchange Program Promotes Understanding These four A.F.S. applicants discussed their chances for being chosen to go abroad as exchange students.

The local A.F.S. Committee carries out this purpose by seeing that North's foreign exchange student becomes a part of the school and community. Under the Big Brother-Big Sister program a North High student is the big brotherv or big sister of the foreign exchange student for a designated period, dur- ing which time he shares with the exchange student his activities. In order to make the exchange of cultures com- plete, the A.F.S. also has a program which gives Ameri- can teen-agers the opportunity to live with families in a foreign land. The American Field Service Committee of the Stu- dent Council operates on the belief that it is vitally important in this uneasy world to learn about other people. Several committees are chosen from the student body to be responsible for publicizing North's activities. The goal of these committees is to let everyone know about the school and what the school is trying to do. HOUSE and CROUNDS COMMITTEE is respon- sible for making announcements about coming events, award winners, changes in schedule, and other similar things. The SCRAPBOOK COMMITTEE keeps the his- tory of the school by cutting clippings which pertain to North out of the newspaper. These are used for future references. Perhaps the most important work it does is to compile the handbook, which is given to every Soph- omore and any other new student who becomes a mem- ber of the Rebel student body. The handbook guides the new students during their first year at North. The PUBLICITY COMMITTEE makes known publicly the past and coming events of North. Each committee must function properly if the Stu- dent Council performs its duties as it should. It takes hard work and cooperation, but the reward is a well- organized and purposeful Student Council. Making up the Scrapbook Committee were Judy Stancil, Anita Dresser, and Corinne Dotger who worked hard to keep a record of the schoolis activities.

Far too many students wanted to belong to this club. As a result, a new Con- stitution Was written, which provided for one hundred twenty regular members who worked after school, fif- teen members who could not work after school, but who did their share at home, a Planning Committee of eight people and two chairmen, one for football season and one for basketball season. The club spent the year decorating the stadium for home games and organizing Homecoming activities. At the end of football, basketball, and baseball seasons, the club sponsored a day of celebration for each team. They bought the players, lunches and served a huge victory cake. In all their Work, this, the largest of N orth's clubs, faithfully supported the ball teams. One of the football team's rewards for a winning season was the privilege of going to the head of the lunch line Bobby Barnhardt M Ratteree, Lee Daughtery, junior Dover, and Mr. Haynes enjoyed eating together !F t-s. 7 . , j 42 ' Composing the Booster Committee were Pat Moore Kathy Kanipe Rick Burts Nlike Roclmm Bobhv Be wer jerry Neal Diane Allev Elunt Hinson, and Allen Shepard.

New Features Added To orth Star Under the watchful eye of their new advisor, Mrs. Ruth Wall, the North Star staff worked to make this year's paper better than ever. A new section was added to the paper in which com- positions written by North students were pub- lished. Regular editorials and a luncheon menu were also added. Staff members were kept busy as the North Star is a mimeographed paper. Cutting stencils, running them off, and stapling them was a man- sized job as each issue had to be distributed be- fore the last bell rang. Students anxiously await- ed the giving out of the papers on Friday after- noon during the sixth period. .Q , -E. ,R 9 'Qc S' 2 X p :Q Q Don Dudley, News Editor, Fred Kerr, Feature Editor, Susan Allison and Junior Fincher, Sports Editors, listened attentively to instructions.

The applicant is then issued his bus license, provided he has passed these tests and has a good citizenship record.

One of the most important activities, and the only fund-raising project of the year, was the annual Fall Festival. Here students, teachers, and parents met for fun and fellowship. A supper was served in the cafeteria, which was followed by a Talent Show put on by students. The program ended with a sock hop in the gym. To help parents, teachers, and students become better acquainted, the P.T.A. sponsors the Sopho- more Reception at the first of the year.

VERA LUCIA FIUZA de MORAES A.F.S. Student Becomes Active Participant One of the most welcome newcomers at North this year was our exchange student from Brazil, Vera Moraes. Through the American Field Service, Vera arrived in September and lived with Jane Bates and her family. She quickly entered into school activities with enthusiasm. Vera, now 18, was born in Rio de Janeiro, but later moved to Fortaleza, a city of 600,000 people. Other than her parents and her 21-year-old brother, Vera missed most her daily swims and two-hour siestas after lunch. Upon her return Vera will study philosophy at the University of Ceara. 64 Vera and Allen Shepard were only two of the many old and new Rebels who enjoyed the Homecoming dance. Vera and her American sister , Jane Bates, find a moment to chat on their way to class. ,. 41. as DAR Recognizes Because of her outstanding achievements, both in the school and the community, Zoe Hough was chosen for the DAR Citizenship Award by the faculty.

Excitement mounted' as the time drew near to meet the other Princesses at the Queen Charlotte Hotel on Thanksgiving Eve. There Billie jean Long attended the many activities planned for the girls from the two Carolinas. Luncheons, the Carousel Ball, and the chilling ride in the parade on Thanksgiving Day were among the things that made it a memorable experience.

About ten girls were nominated by the students, and the voting took place after the girls were introduced to the student body at as- sembly. She represented North at the Carolinas Carousel as Princess North Mecklenburg. xg' 'P As the crown was placed on her head by the Carousel Representative, Billie jean Long was overcome with joy and excitement.

From these sponsors the Homecoming Queen was elected. This year sponsors were escorted onto the field during half-time activities.

The Rebels ended the season with a much improved record. The sureness with which the team maneuvered on the court demonstrated vast improvement over last year. The patterns they Worked also reflected the seasoning that took place during the previous year's schedule. Even though sharpshooters Currie Johnston, Jimmy Poole, Johnny Overcash, and rebounder Johnny Moore Will be graduating this year, a strong team will be re- turning next year, and an even better record is expected.

Under the crafty and able tutelage of Coach Haynes, last year's team ended the season tied for second place in regular play in the Western 4-A Conference. Highlighting the season was the pitching of Jimmy Blythe, who was one of the best in the league. Some of the outstanding hitters were Bobby Armstrong, Eugene Link, Butch Hough, and Iohnny Overcash. North played VVest in the first round of the Conference tournament and was de- feated 2-1. They played Harding in the consolation game and defeated them 12-8. This placed North third in the Conference behind the first place team West and second place Caringer. With the nucleus of last year's team re- turning, plus some seasoned sophomores, this year's team should have a rewarding year. 90 Paul Bolick took his turn at bat to help defeat East. ,Q Rebels Capture Second Place In Conference Firstbaseman Larry Dunn takes a low throw to first as East player hustles back to first.

Speed and Endurance Highlight Season North's second year in cross country was one of building. The team was made up of juniors and sopho- moresg therefore, the coming season is one of great promise. With a year of experience behind them the team should take its place among the best in the XVest- ern 4-A Conference. The team participated in seven meets with other schools in the county, and several of the boys turned in good performances, particularly Wayne Cline and Wayne jones. Wayne Cline placed fourth in the State Cross Country Meet. The three boys that finished before him were seniorsg therefore, Wayne is in the running for top state honors next year. Members of Cross Country were coached by Mr. Cochrane. Boys making up the team were Kenny Stillwell, Wayne Cline, Mac McKeown, Wayne jones, and Earl Bowers. llllrfg 93 fi?

Rebel Grapplers Show Determination, Spirit Interest in wrestling has changed this minor sport into a major one at North. Part of the credit goes to Coach Bryce Hurd, but a great deal goes to the team who fought through their second season with the will to win. Since the team will lose only three varsity members, they are looking hopefully toward next season, when they should be a real threat for top honors in the X'Ves- tcrn 4-A Conference. In their first year Pat Garrison won first place position in the Unlimited Class at the regional meet and lost to Ashehoro in the state finals. This year's team record was 7 won, 3 lost, and 3 tied.

Sophomores Meet Their Challenges To the Sophomore entering in September, 1962, North Mecklenburg offered many challenges. All of a sudden he was faced with adult decisions and had to take the responsibility for them. As newly orientated Rebels it did not take long to get into the swing of things and grow up. The Booster Club and Social Committee, in order to help the Sophomores become better acquained with each other and the school, sponsored a sock hop in the gym. Many new friendships were formed thus enabling the Sophomores to make wiser choices in selecting their class officers. Several weeks later, the Sophomores and their par- 100 ents were honored by the P.T.A. at a reception in the school cafeteria. Here the parents were able to meet Sophomore teachers and become better acquainted with them. New courses offered to the Sophomores included chemistry and geometry. In addition, the Sophomores were plagued with memorizing Julius Caesar and dis- secting frogs. Moreover here was the additional hu- miliation of sore shoulders caused by all the polishing the Seniors did when their rings arrived. After all this, the Sophomore Class emerged from its first year at North, prepared to serve its school in the future with knowledge and honor. A iv- g 4, f gh t mx, -- ,f n 1 Q.

Finding the molecular weight of oxygen was a challenging Droblem for David Hubbard and Steve Knowlton. HO I liz To help guide the Juniors through their second year at North were their officers, Stcve Ferrell, Presidentg Ben Fincher, Vice-President, Marsha Henry, Secretary, and Judy Byrd, Treasurer. Juniors Face Work and Responsibility Another year and another step up the ladder of suc- cess was offered the Juniors. During this year they were given a chance to prove their worth. They accepted the opportunity and responded with hard work and service. Fifteen Juniors were inducted into the Honor Society, a reward for their diligent studies. Also several began to make their mark in athletics and other activities. Many Juniors began thinking about college and took the P.S.A.T. in October. Cn College Day they were giv- en a chance to discuss college requirements, costs, and standards. Moreover, they gave much thought to the choice of professions and careers. The greatest challenge presented to the Junior Class during the year was the planning and organization of the Junior-Senior Prom. Under the able guidance of the Junior Class Steering Committee and other industrious class members, the Prom was a great success and be- came a long-to-be remembered occasion. The thrill of being measured for class rings coupled with the prospect of becoming Seniors made the Jun- iors look forward to their last year at North High. Hard work, awards, and important decisions made the year a memorable one in every respect. 111 an as G f ,X One of the high lights of their Sophomore year for these present Juniors was the Latin Banquet held last April Juniors Enjoy School Activities 'fs use sr' 'Y - X Z if ' X. - ' ' , ff Q H tl, B 4 is FZ' f Hilda Abernathy Walter Aberson Gerry Adams Esther Alexander Sherry Allen Dianne Alley Tony Argo Harriet Ashcraft Gary Ashford Marianne Austin Freddie Ayers Carolyn Bailey Beverly Ballard Nancy Barbee David Barnette jim Barnette Gayle Barrett Iimmy Bickett Carol Biddy Eddie Blythe Bobby Blythe Barry Bosher Douglas Bostic Diane Boyles George Brantley Wiley Brockenboiough David Brooks Carolyn Brown Georgia Lee Brown Willie Brown I A 3 A I 1 I LLL Brenda Buckley Pamela Bullard joy Butts Judy Byrd Bernice Caldwell Linda Canipe NVayne Carpenter Wayne Carrier Linda Kay Carver Vernie Case Wayne Chapman Claudette Chavis Diana Clark Darlene Clegg NVayne Cline Richard Cobb Ronnie Cochran Mary Ann Coley Lanny Correll Iennie Lou Covington Larry Cox Roy Cox Charlsie Coyle Larry Cranford Lee Daugherty Carol Ann Davis Raymond Dease Ierry Deese Kay Dewese Brenda Dickerson junior Dover Anita Dresser Harold Duckett Carolyn Dunn Chauncey Edwards Douglas Elliot Ianice Estes Marian Eubanks Wilford Eury Cloria F eatherston Y L 1 ' fy N 6 L ,q' I E .K 4 . 1 .. pw 'l I gf I S WMA V, -Cx 1 A' f Ki L. s 3 x .

Seniors Look Forward to Future In the fall of 1962 Seniors faced the joys and responsibilities of their final year at North with great anticipation. They were to discover, however, that this final year meant more work and emotional strain than the two years before. It meant the last ball game, the last dance, and the last Viking-the last of many things which they had shared together. Ambition was the incentive for most Seniors. For the college-bound members of the class, the year brought the prospect of college boards and submitting applications tothe colleges of their choice. There was some disappointment, but mostly the future held bright promise. Seniors who did not expect to attend college made plans for their future, also. With many accomplishments behind them, the Sen- iors awaited graduation day. In their hearts would al- ways be the final memories of the junior-Senior Prom, the class picnic, the Senior reception, and the Bacca- laureate exercises. For the first time, seniors in all seven senior high schools were consolidated into one body for the Baccalaureate services at the Coliseum. Many ob- jected to this, but time brings changes, and tradition must give way to progress. Friends at North would never be forgotten, never- theless, Seniors looked forward to new experiences as young adults. 121 . , A Seniors discovered many things about col- lege life through discussions with the various College Day representatives.

Plans to make for the '63 V iking, post cards to ad- dress to Seniors about pictures, a dummy to draw up, ads to sell . . . This was the summer. Seemingly millions of pictures to take, class lists to make, ad pages to check, pages of copy to proofread, hours to spend checking and re-checking, completed pages to mail . . . This was the winter. Proof pages to check, money to collect for adver- tisements and subscriptions, delivery lists to compile... Then the 1963 Viking . . . This was the spring. Credit goes to the staff, but much credit goes else- where. Without the support and the cooperation of many people - our advertisers, the students and faculty, the Brumfields and Keys Printing Company-your Viking would not be. Special thanks go to Mrs. Barfield for her support, patience, and good humor. VVe realize that it is impossible to capture realistic- ally all sides of school life, however, we sincerely hope that you enjoy the '63 Viking and that in years to come it will recall pleasant memories of your high school days. 173 u V.,t7fV ',,L.'vf'4,4zV,f 6 I off f fgiWf WW aff ff jfvwlfll-VY!!!
