1-x..i'N,1 if 1 -V' A collection of NS products, as viewed by artist Lori Somkins The person selling candy is always popular The sales of candy is popular throughout the year, throughout the halls, as demonstrated by Dave Owens, Shelly Webb, and Sue Larssen. eychains, Christmas orna- ments, Draft Dodgers , Iightbulbs, and albums were some of the more unconventional items sold this year by school organi- zations, in what could have been the largest fund-raising year ever at North Scott. Popcorn, shirts, buttons, and sock- hop tickets, helped pay for field trips, a juke box, trips to Washington, D.C., and the Bachelor Capture dance. Can- dy bars sold by students in FCA and weight training helped pay for guest speakers and a new neck machine. Fund-raising reached its peak first quarter, when the majority of clubs held fund-raising drives, especially candy sales. Still, some teachers com- plained when at least five groups were selling products at the same time dur- ing the weeks before Christmas. According to Mr. Wood, Director of Student Affairs, this year's fund-raising 2 HCJCUCTION had gotten entirely out of hand and next year there will have to be some major changes . From buttons to wrapping paper, this is a glossary of articles that North Scott students tried to sell this year. N UTTONS: Student Congress sold the Homecoming buttons with Gwen Moore's rendition of Pound the Hounds for 75 cents. Pep club sold football pins which consisted of a plastic flag and two ribbons. The pins also cost 75 cents. ANDY: Lancer Productions and FCA sold chocalate mind Truffles and FCA sold Katy-dids , caramel covered pecan clusters, for two dollars a box. Students could buy sourballs twith or without the candy dishj and suckers left over from last year's choir sale for two dollars. The junior class sold boxes of M St tvi's for fifty cents. CANDY BARS: Probably the most successful selling item, the Bike brand candy bars were sold by at least one student in nearly every class.

uilding additions change the North Scott skyline in most years, but the two buildings this year brought among other things a sixty-tive foot tower to change the school's profile, For a cost of over 2,300,000 dollars, North Scott began adding on the 22,500 square feet last year with the start of the special education wing. Completed during the summer, the wing is considered one of the best such facilities in the area. The six classrooms and three offices re- place the trailers that were used at the end of A- hall. The new wing now serves the six special ed. programs, including the self-contained unit which is known for its modern conveniences. While the windows in two rooms and the senior bench had to be removed to accomodate the wing, more changes took place for the audito- rium addition. Seven rooms in A-hall had to lose their walls of windows and their radiators, which meant for some cold classrooms in that hall. A bank of lockers and the workshop room were both removed to make way for a hall. The 800 seat auditorium will be divided into five main sections: a main floor with 600 seats, and four pods behind it with 50 seats each. The pods will be sealed off during the day so that they can be used as classrooms during school, Watking in the main entrance, spectators will walk on to the first floor lobby with offices, a ticketbooth, a concession room, and two coa- trooms, They can enter the main room from the first floor ramp or, after climbing a flight of stairs, from the back of the pods. Several other features make the auditorium unique, Seperate booths, one for sound and one for lighting will be placed in the back of the room. An extensive catwalk will atiow students to ad- just lights. Another interesting feature of the stage will be a walk-way which will curve around the orchestra pit and allow performers to walk out into the audience, The tlyway, the highest part of the auditorium, will allow the scenery to be pulted up, out of view ot the audience, but it is also a new shape on the outline of the school building. Surrounded by the effects of construction, Greg Casel, Dean Wiese, and Todd Case! walk throught the area to get to school, 1 'r v as Now a wall and foundation, the back of the auditorium wiill eventually become pods that will be used as classrooms. 0 , if f il If , ' i Mm 3 3 i ii-li ig g ' S- - '....
