1256852 Student Life From the first step up the ted carpet in the fall to the last clang of the senior door in June, 1964 was an exciting year, a different year. It seemed a little strange to come back to school because everything was so changed. It was hatd to get used to the new offices, classes met in strange places, new teachers took the place of those who had left, and the crowds in the halls were a little bit thicker. But undetneath the shiny veneer of newness, North Side was essentially the same. The purpose — to attain a good education — was not changed. The curriculum remained, and the familiar traditions were still followed Although it appeared as though North Side would burst its 37-year-old seams, we survived. With a large amount of cooperation between the student body and the faculty, the congestion difficulties were solved without too many head-on collisions. We grew in many other ways besides population. Our school spirit soared as we smashed the football jinx and survived until the final night of the sectionals in basketball. Our pride in our sports achievements was rivaled by the pride we felt at being the largest school in the city. North Side will continue to change and grow in the future, but it can never be the same as it was in 1964.

Big Changes Students Noticed at Beginning of Semester Mary Waller and Mr When school started in September, the students noticed many changes had taken place on the inside of North Side, but the ex- terior of the school remained much the same as when it was con- structed in 1927. A very important change which concerned everyone at North Side was the appointment of the new principal. Dr. Bill C. Anthis. Dr. Anthis was the former Dean of Boys. During the summer months while relaxing ' Skins and teachers were recuperating from the past school year, workmen reconstructed various sections of the interior of the school. The old principal ' s office was converted into an attendance center. All of the necessities in the taking of attendance were kept in that office, making the job much more convenient. The former Dean of Girl ' s office was made into a guidance center. Students went to the guidance center seeking information concerning colleges and universities, help in planning their class schedules, and general guidance. The new main office was the center of constant activity, housing the offices of the principal, deans, athletic direcror, regis- trar, treasurer, and secretaries. Problems arose in the main office during the first months of the semester as students struggled to learn which office belonged to whom. To lessen this problem, the janitors placed attractive name plates over the various office doors. The ivy grows a little thicker each year, the enrollment in- creases, and the rooms are redecorated and changed. But, it is still the same North Side. Double, double, toil and trouble dominated the atmosphe students attempted to iron out flaws in their schedules.
