Dreaded flu affects Redskins ' academic life It was the year of the dread- ed flu, called an upper respira- tory infection by the Board of Health. The new semester brought many absences on the part of students and teachers. Although the Fort Wayne Com- munity Schools were not closed, several other schools around the area were. Coming back to school for the second semester, Redskins found empty seats around them. At first it was thought that many were home conva- lescing after all the strain and sleepless nights before finals. As the week proceeded, it be- came apparent that Redskins were not exhausted, but were indeed ill!

They did not perform at half- time during the basketball game against DeKalb because more than half of the squad was out with the flu. It was hard to teach the rou- tines because so many people were absent, said Senior Krissy Sullivan, co-captain of the pom-pons.

Cooperation and patience by both students and teachers brought the school back to normal as Redskins eventually got it all back together. ATTENDANCE decreased drastically when the flu hit North Side. During first period there were as many as 457 stu- dents absent in one day. Year of the flu FLU 21
