Cheer though the score be great or small . . Our traditional Thanksgiving Pep Assembly again aroused the spirit throughout the halls of Northern. At the left is our principal, Mr. Houston giving his last pep talk before a football game. He announced his retirement before the student body at this time. Although the excitement of the coming game was great, a hush of regret settled over the students as Mr. Houston told of his leaving. Below is the band playing the National Anthem as the students stand facing the flag. At the bottom a group of loyal Vik- ings takes time out from eating to help yell the cheers, led by three of our cheerleaders. The Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs and the Choir joined in this time of excitement to sing the Alma Mater while standing in the formation of the big “N”. Northern’s mighty Viking came to give encouragement to the players as the cheerleaders go into formation around him. The Viking spirit is always at its highest on this day to give the team the best support. 16 n
