Experience Through Many Available Opportunities In any organization as large as North Side, skillful and extensive leadership is needed in order for it to function smoothly. All aspects of activity at the Dome require leadership, and those students who fill these positions as leaders of classes and organiza- tions gain valuable experience in working with others and getting the job done. However, the weight of responsibility does not rest solely on those who are officers or editors or cap- tains; each individual must assume certain responsi- bilities for his own duties in both academic and extra- curricular activities. It is this individual responsibility which is most important for the success of the stu- dent, the club, and the school. Through the fulfillment of everyday assignments and club projects, the stu- dent learns to work conscientiously and in co-opera- tion with others while he is gaining in self-reliance and emotional maturity. All Redskins are given the opportunity to prepare themselves for the weighty responsibilities and obligations of the future.

North Side sponsors a variety of activities to further develop the special talents and interests of its stu- dents. Those who have talent in the field of acting and public performance have the opportunity to im- prove and exhibit their fortes in the Senior Play and Varsity Varieties. Many medals have been won by vocalists and instrumentalists who have represented North Side in musical talents. Girls with nimble fingers bring honor to themselves and the school through exhibitions of skillful baton twirling. Outside of school, pupils find time for building radios, collecting coins and stamps, taking pictures, or working on one of any number of special interests and hobbies. By participating in such activities. North Siders show that individual development is not deter- mined by academic ability alone, but also by skills in a variety of activities. Working with people and cre- ating products of the hands and mind lend well to developing a well-rounded character. Hi
