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. December 26 found many students attending our first Huntington Invitational in many years.

. . . happiness of victory . . . ftt- iuiBBSS L - mt.4 - £- ' j. • ' -JU iy Ji ' Mi r i r The Marching Band forms a trombone, one of many acts it per- formed for the NISBOVA contest and football half-time displays The expressions on the faces of these girls ' cheerblock members exemplify their happiness as the Redskins take over the lead. 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

. . . and other unforgettable From the first day we walked into classes as sopho- mores with lipstick-smeared faces, to the last day of our senior year when we departed from our classes with faces looking to the future, we could not soon forget the numer- ous impressions North had left in our minds. Many can recall twelve senior homerooms squeezed into the cafe- teria; assemblies being presented twice because the audi- torium could not seat everyone at once; double parking due to crowded parking conditions; student council, fine arts, and journalism trips; Sadie Hawkins dance and other dances to choose Mr. Irresistable and Bachelor of the Year. These, indeed, made 1965 an unforgettable ex- perience. For the first time since North opened, doors stayed closed because of the heavy snow which coveted the entite midwest. Junk collectot Opal Kronkie (Judy Rhoads) ignores the protests of Glotia (Patti Finton) in Everybody Loves Opal. nooning admiters eagerly surround Bachelor of the Year, Al Crawford, at a dance sponsoted by the Key Clubs.
