Academic Attempting to maintain the standards of academic ex- cellence that had been the policy of North Side High School in the past became increasingly more difficult in 1964. The bewildering phrases of modern education were hurled at stu- dents at an increasingly faster and more concenfrated rate. Terms like proportionality constant, stream of consciousness, standard deviation from the mean, and existentialism were quickly absorbed and utilized. In order for the average student to retain the more technical and complicated material, it was necessary for him to spend longer and more concentrated hours doing what was commonly called homework. Education was not entirely abstract. As more and more employers required a high school education as a prerequisite for employment, up-to-date knowledge of the fields of busi- ness and mechanics increased in importance to those who wished to be employed immediately after their high school education was finished. No matter what area of education was involved, learning the basic required material plus acquiring a certain amount of competence in the subject took more time, effort, and con- centration than ever before.
