. . . lasting friendships . . . Hostess Diane Friend serves cider and donuts to her hungry guests Dave Switzer, Tommy Pitser, Sue Cole, Paul Paino, and Carol Conrad. With several new students and teachers, the extension of friendship was an ever important factor throughout the year. Student Council members wore red feathers the first few days of school and served as guides, thus extending a helping hand at the very beginning. Back To School Night, with FTAer ' s as guides, brought teachers and parents to a closer relationship. Being one of the most active years ever to have oc- curred at North, ' 65 found most every weekend scheduled with at least one activity. As ' Skins planned and participated in many of these activities, their gathering helped to strengthen their friendships. Crowded halls and classrooms and a busy cafeteria all revealed that no student should have lacked a number of people from which to choose his friends. The large student body — largest in the city, in fact — added to school spirit and cooperation rather than to confusion as might be expected. Friendships formed at the Dome often last a lifetime

. ' the golden days of Spring ' Spring recalls some of the happiest, most exciting times at North. Students often talked outside the Dome with books in one hand and an ice cream cone in the other. The seniors can recall being on the staggered 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. schedule •which was in effect their three years of high school. Sopho- mores, juniors, and teachers, on the other hand, anticipate in the next school year, the regular 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. schedule shared by other schools. Several ' Skins could also be found this time of year in line at the Youth Employment Service agency seeking summer jobs, or gathering with friends at the last minute to sign Legends before the Dome ' s doors closed for the summer Students strolling at leisure on a warm spring afternoon capture the envious attention of those still in school. After being confined all winter. Redskins welcome outside during the first brisk days of spring. Our river reflects many happy memories of the golden days of spring and our years at North Side.

. . . academic achievement . . . Following tradition, seniors assemble at the steps of the Dome dur- ing their final assembly and the planting of the ivy. Senior Greg Crawford, a member of the three-year honor roll, gazes wonderingly at the books he has used throughout his high school career. Rewards definitely came to those students who were eager for education and had a genuine desire to extend their knowledge. Outside activities, such as clubs (including the newly formed Z-Club ?nd the re-established Youth Looks at Communism Club) and High-Quiz, afforded opportunities to all three classes of Redskins to achieve a well-rounded aca- demic life and gave them a chance to appply their learning to situations other than the classroom. The class of ' 66 exhibited its fine student leaders with 1 % of the students receiving Tri-Kappa awards. North was also proudly represented by three National Merit semi-finalists, and nine students in the upper one per cent of the class from its class of ' 65. National Merit semi-finalists, Steve Moore, Sam Hyde, and Eric Caple, exemplify good study habits in the use of the school library.
