Academics Benefit ■ Dependable, personable, civic-minded-Heather Butler, Nancy Morrison, and Penny Winkler qualify as DAR ideal citizens. Returning to 8 to 3 schedules for a-11 students im- proved both academics and club participation. Four outstanding students represented North as National Merit semi-finalists, and thirteen others received letters of commendation for their high scores on this test. Because of scheduling complications, newly- formed seminars in English and social studies met either before or after school, replacing XX classes for juniors and seniors. Regular classes improved because there were fewer distractions in the halls and bells were not ringing every half hour through- out much of the day. All classes were over at 3 o ' clock, which enabled students to join more extra-curricular activities; and, as a result, club membership increased. This gave students more opportunity to improve and to exhibit their abilities. Six seniors were chosen by their classmates as best exhibiting the qualities of a true Redskin. They received the DAR and good citizenship awards. The library provides a quiet study area fo work or researching; a term paper. finishing up home- National Merit Semi-Finalists are Mike Harper. Scott Saunders, Paul Helmke, and Kathy Nickel.

■ ■ ■ Fun ■ ■ ■ Redskins f rugged, jerked, and freddied through the 1965-1966 school year. Discotheques were the greatest, and dance bands thrived. The total look was in , and so were textured hose, Ouija boards, and James Bond. Autumn brought ' Skins together to enjoy the usual wienie roasts, hayrides, and football games. As weather grew colder, girls snuggled into poor- boy sweaters, and boys let their hair grow into surfer or Beatle mops to keep out the chill. Skiing gained new popularity as ' Skins took to the slopes way up in Michigan or as far away as Colorado. Winter haze was further dispelled by the coming of Batman , a pop-art TV melodrama featuring the greatest masked man since the Lone Ranger. The melting of snow renewed the thrills of such warm weather activities as skateboarding and motor- cycling. The most popular topic of conversation be- came prom fashions, and for seniors, graduation and that first step into the world. And for students and teachers alike, the most inviting thoughts were those of summer fun and freedom. Willy Holloway and Davey PlatI show off their gifts from Mr. and Mrs. Santa, alias Donny McClead and Sonny Schoonover. It ' s a cinch, thinks sophomore Gene Hale as he finally lifts the weights over his head. Intensive concentration on the Ouija board reveals knowledge of the future to Judy Rice and Bob McKee.
