. . . 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.

. . . 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

citizenship honors The local chapter of the Daughters of the American P evolution chose three senior girls as best citizens this year. The qualities on which they were judged were dependability, service, personality and unselfish interest in family, school, community, and nation. The D.A.R. award, the Good Citizen award, and the Spirit of North Side were the honors in the order in which they were given. Similar qualities were used in considering boys for the Kiwanis Award, the D.A.R. award, and the Spirit of North Side. Seniors alone enjoyed the privilege of electing these six outstanding students from their class, with the final approval of the winners and their order of awards coming from the faculty. V : V -i Exemplifying superior citizenship traits enabled Greg Crawford, Dave Moser, and Graham Richard to receive DAR, school, and Kiwanis awards- Dave Switzer actively leads one of the many discussion groups after the leadership development program, Direction One. Representing the ideals of citizenship are Diane Friend, Cindy Pat- tengale, and Pris Houts, who won DAR honors and recognition.
