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.

Community Feelings Stretch A Cappella spreads the fame of North Side to the convention of mus ic educators at Indianapolis. The Dome opened its doors wide to the cultural and civic opportunities of the community. The school actively supported the Christmas Bureau; sixty- four families enjoyed a finer holiday through the aid of homeroom collections of food, clothing, and toys. As a special project, homerooms sent letters and gifts to local men serving in Viet Nam. As individuals, Redskins volunteered in the Red Cross or the nursettes, and were employed at a variety of Fort Wayne businesses. Local theater and music groups also boasted North Side talent and patronage. Pam Richard, head of the Viet Nam project, readies a Christ- mas package for shipment to a local man overseas. Sacrificed lunches, donated time, and syphoned energy are the traditional Basket Assembly and presented to sixty-four personified in the hundreds of Christmas boxes brought to underprivileged families in the community.
