THOSE WHO SERVE MOST PROFIT MOST Spirits were high during the last critical minutes of the ball game with Garinger. Voting for class officers, as well as for other officers, was a privilege of all students. Debbie Wally exercised her privilege to vote in her first class election since she had come to North. 10 Students were able to purchase tickets prior to the games and save money as well as time. Marilyn Cooke took advantage of this as she purchased her ticket from Mr. Hurd during lunch time. A typical scene was one at the telephone booth during lunch periods, where sometimes, the wait was a long one. Randle Montgomery and Joe Stinson patiently awaited their turn as Lynn Lessard carried on her telephone conversation.

ACTIVITIES HELP DEVELOP STUDENTS , SCHOOL Although school emphasis is cen¬ tered on academic work, student organizations gave Rebels a chance to explore their own capacities as well as serve the school. For sixteen years, North has had an endless pro¬ cession of outstanding student body presidents, athletes, beauty queens, cheerleaders, and other who served the school through work in the vari¬ ous activities offered. It-was the spirit of Rebels to give the best they had in all endeavors that made North the kind of school it is today.
