1593176 Renovation has changed North Side ' s face, but the year has not reduced her spirit. With modern equipment and rooms as teachers ' aids, her purposes and goals have been transformed. ' Skins have seen machines rise into a major position this year. With renovation came bet- ter facilities for the Music Depart- ment, library. Home Economics, En- glish, and Language Departments. With the facilities came more ad- vanced mechanical aids that helped teachers to gradually place the em- phasis on learning rather than on memorization. The 20 additional teachers, coupled with the novel ten-period day, made classes smaller. Seniors and juniors were as con used as sophomores during the first weeks of classes, since renova- tion had drastically altered the class areas and department corridors. One thing remained normaJ, sopho- mores stiJJ registered pleasure at their new-found freedoms, revelled in the relaxing of the dress code and wider choice of classes. Despite physical changes, the spirit of Redskins has not suffered. Spirit Week proved that ' Skins main- tained the high quality and quantity of spirit even with the retiring of the spirit trophy. Students helped change the atmosphere in football and basketball games, the Winter Concert, and the school itself. Education and spirit continue to thrive as It ' s a New World on the Inside.

Bakhshi Villacorta add excitement to classes Mr. Derman Villacorta and Mr. Sarhia Pal Bakhshi both agreed that North Side is an excellent school and that they enjoyed their visit and work at Domeland. The teachers and students were always helpful and made me feel right at home. said Mr. Bakhshi, who arrived from India to teach En- glish. He hoped to return again in the future. Mr. Villacorta has finished his sec- ond year in Domeland teaching Spanish. As he left to return to his home in Peru, South America, he said that he would surely miss the students and people more than any- thing else. Both teachers and many students exchanged interesting facts about the school, the country, the people, and the different customs. Mr. Sarhia Pal Bakhshi and Mr. Derman Villacorta manage to find time in their schedules to discuss renovation. Mr. Derman Villacorta grades tests and checks papers in the teachers ' lounge dur- ing one of his work periods. Explaining a vocabulary list to his junior English classes occupies some of Mr. Sarhia Pal Bakhshi ' s time. In addition to teaching in his assigned classes, he often speaks to other classes during his free periods. 4 Foreign Exchange Teachers
