Sitting in class straining to listen to a teacher ' s lecture on Macbeth over the roar of the bulldozers and the shouts of the workers proved to be a challenge facing all Redskins. Learn- ing to cope with such problems seemed unreal until the rewards of renovation became apparent. Every- one had to make small sacrifices such as sitting in a room with blackened windows preventing one from dream- ily staring out at the cars screeching by, no ringing bells to wake one up from a sound sleep in study hall, and not remembering where homeroom was to meet that day. A new stadium was the pride of all Redskins at foot- ball games. Being able to sit in a class without freezing resulted from a new heating system. Industrial Art rooms were modernized and storage rooms were constructed. As the first phase of renovation was completed. Red- skins realized that such sacrifices were trivial. Putting in a new suspended lighting system in an Industrial Arts room, workers hurry to make the room available for use. Trying their best to cope with the difficulties resulting from renovation, a Spanish class- room decorates their blackened windows with artwork to brighten the room. Making way for the new, a worker tears out some side steps to make room for Domeland ' s new storage and equipment Renovation 5

Renovation brings new stadium, heating, and rooms The old music corridor has taken on a new look as it is replaced by the new Industrial Arts hallway. Constructing new locker rooms, concession stands, and athletic equipment storage rooms underneath the stadium, workmen pour cement to complete the stadium for football season. Installing pipes for the new heating sys- tem results in redecorating the 120 corridor with the new renovation look. The stadium stands completed except for the taking down of the workmen ' s scaffold. The stadium was finished and the inner rooms were first used for North ' s Homecoming game. 4 Renovation

Beat Snider, Team we ' re backing you, and Redskin Country, signs re- vealed school spirit as well as class unity to back the team to a victory over Snider. Before the Powder Puff game, a parade of twenty cars color- fully decorated with signs and stream- ers honked their way to the game. At the pep rally, the junior girls proved victorious over the seniors in the Powder Puff football game. During halftime a relay team of boys gorged themselves in a pie-eating contest. As the close of the big week came, the final pep session rewarded the juniors as they captured the Spirit Trophy while the seniors and sophomores tied in their accumulated points. That eve- ning North went on to beat Snider highlighting the week. Members of the A-V Club decorate their car with a large movie projector for the parade which is before the Powder Puff game between the senior girls and junior girls.
