Spirit And Traditions Exhibit Student Loyalty Who can forget the chill that climbed up his back as he listened to the A Cappella at the Thanksgiving assembly, or when all the North Side fans were stand- ing and cheering at the football game against Central Catholic even though the Redskin team was losing? Memorable events such as these contribute to the spirit and tradition of North Side and dramatize the loyalty of her students. Adding life and personality to the name North Side High School are certain established traditions. Elite senior privileges bring honor to the final year; annual assemblies at the beginning of school and for special holidays lend to her spirit; inter-city rivalries in sports help make cause for a common loyalty among Redskins. This loyalty to North Side will be reflected in a greater sense later as today ' s teenagers become active in business, labor, and world affairs. They are learning by experience the significance of tradition and fidelity.

New A Cappella members go through the initation handed out by the old members at the fall picnic. Each initiate is por- traying a character from a television commercial. Parties, Picnics, And Redskins are good at doing just about anything; but when it comes to having fun, they excel in arrang- ing good entertainment. At after-game dances in the cafeteria they led some most invigorating activities during the past year. There was a renaissance of motion as guys and gals maneuvered to The Twist, The Pony, and The Roach ; and the final chords of Maria seemed the perfect way to end the eve- ning with that special someone. Social highlights of the year include the annual class events. Sophomores have their first class party; juniors enjoy their first prom. Reigning seniors treas- ure their banquet, the senior play, and the prom that is their last social function as a class. The community, as well as the school, offers recre- ation for teenagers. Bowling, miniature golf, or skat- ing, followed by a hearty snack, are available to those who prefer action in their fun. Listening to a concert, watching a play, or playing a game of bridge provide relaxation for some Redskins as they relieve their minds of weighty studies. At narties, se: Judy Cook ar dinner given or girls reminisced their past years in Domeland. Maria Lantz exchange presents at a Christmas Barb Rider in honor of everlasting friendship.
