This year ' s Northeastern Indiana School Band, Orchestra and Vocal Association contest produced a first division win for the marching band plus several first division solo con- test winners. Approximately 200 girls and 100 boys proudly- backed our school through cheerblocks at basketball events. Though the blocks were well organized, confusion reigned when cheers such as, Flea Fly were introduced. Even in the wild jubilation of 300 voices during a victory, Varsity could still be heard being -chanted over the cheers. Victory came hard for the debate team; but, as in othet events, the less victory is tasted, the more meaningful it seems to be when it is experienced. 10

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.

sorrow of defeat Cheerblock members tensely watch as North Side loses its narrow advantage after a free throw bounces off the rim. Dave Stephan, wearing a cheerblock hat, reflects the anxiety felt by Redskins backing their team in a close basketball game. Redskins were constantly reminded to carry out good sportsmanship and will be thankful they were taught how to lose an event, sporrs or otherwise, and accept it, because they can apply this lesson of sportsmanship to life. This year separate boys ' and girls ' cheerblocks and the pep band contributed greatly to game spirit. The Student Council Sportsmanship Committee successfully sold red and white buttons saying North, which displayed the fact that ' Skins fully backed their teams.
