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.

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
