HEADS UP! “There is Simply No Slouch- ing?’ What kind of a yearbook theme is that? Think back to all the times when a teacher has said, “Stop slouching!,”’ or “‘Sit up straight!’’ Such comments as these are just a few of the things that make up the basis for the 1988-89 North Star yearbook theme. Northern High School has for many years been noted for its high standards, top-of-the-line test re- sults, and overall good morale. Whether students are willing to admit it or not, many of North- Drum Major Darren Wilburn leads the N.H‘S. band in their rendition of “Wipe Out.” Darren, along with Assistant Drum Major Petrina Jones, won several awards and honors for the band during the 1988-89 season. ern’s favorable characteristics are a result of strong rules and guide- lines, some of which are considered to be too strict. When the facts are laid out, those extra rules and reg- ulations that seem to receive so many complaints are exactly what have put Northern High School a step ahead of other schools. The next time a teacher or a faculty member at Northern corrects you on what might be considered a trivial issue, remember: Heads up everyone, and don’t slouch! As president of the Lettermen’s club, Jason Rush reads the minutes from the previous meeting aloud as Eddie Tabor, Sergant of Arms, peers over his shoulder, insuring no mistakes.

Top Of the Mornin’ .. “Oh, no! My alarm didn’t 20 off I've overslept and now have only a nere three and a half hours to get ready ‘or school!”’ Sound familiar? How will you ossibly squeeze all of the basic necessities of preparation into such a short time? There are so many things that have to be Jone: showering, doing your hair, re- doing your hair, deciding what to wear sixteen times over), applying make-up in the case of most females), and if you're lucky, a little something to eat. Or, maybe your mornings are to the other xtreme. Fifteen minutes before you must eave for school, you hop out of bed, plash some water on your face, throw on he first pieces of clothing you find in your closet, and rush out the door just in ime to catch the bus. These two descriptions don’t provide he most terrific advice as to how to begin Bzzzz . a day, but they do include some of the basic elements that most people would mention as being part of their daily morning routine. What exactly do people mention when questioned about their morning routines? One unique response came from fresh- man April Slagle; ‘I get up at 5:00 A.M. every morning to practice my violin.” April later added that this was due to her mother’s insistence. Several Northern stu- dents included aerobic exercise in their answers as to what their mornings in- volve. Antoher popular response among faculty and students was watching the news. Mr. Green, principal, added that he stops at a local deli for coffee every morn- ing. Basically, both students and faculty agreed that morning is the most im- portant part of the day. As one sophmore summed it up, “If my morning doesn’t go right, there’s a pretty good chance that the rest of my day’s going to be rotton too!’ So come on everyone, have a great morning — you just might make it through the day! tebe ray et “Please stand for the pledge.’’ Students know that the schoo l day has officially begun when Serena Rowe's voice greets them with the morning announce- ments.-Amy Thomas It's just another marvelous Monday morning in the halls of N.H.S..
