Northside High School - Viking Yearbook (Atlanta, GA)

After the newness wears off, the student realizes that high school is a great deal of work. He might gripe about his homework, but he usually ap- proaches it with determination. He worries about finals and then at the same time jokes about that big failure. There is a reason for everything that he does, but the greatest satisfaction comes from just learning to live. The hours of lost sleep and gallons of midnight oil are not in vain, however, for the rewards are rich. Many privileges and most coveted honors require that one obtain at least a B average. A more far reaching reward is the wonderful pre- paration one receives for college or entrance into the business world. Here at Northside we have a wonderful chance to learn, as it has one of the highest ratings of any school in the city. Our faculty is very competent and our facilities are steadily improving.

K 2 I 'fm ' ew. 'ym.,,m r-x.,zV ,V . , ,194 Entering Northside can be as bewildering as entering another country, for each school has its own laws, traditions, system of government and customs. The feeling of aloneness can seem very acute at times. The long task of turning rooms full of strangers into classes with friends begins anew as people meet, and the bonds of friendship are forged in varying degrees. Each of the novel experiences common in the course of the first few weeks make high school seem a little fresher and a little more wonderful. The first impression of Northside is one of im- mensity. A new student is often struck with this upon realizing that his next class is three floors and the length of a teeming hall away. It is puzz- ling to try to decipher a schedule card showing classes changing rooms and cryptic abbreviations such as Sp, Hutchvg HC. C. rm 102, L , Durden, Mil. Bldg. M-Q , 4 a8cc, Lun.b . The next thing which he must do is familiarize himself with the room numbers and names of all his teachers. After learning his way around the maze of halls and doors, he realizes that there are four grades above him. He looks with respect to the upper classmen and eagerly looks forward to that far off day when he will attain the status of senior. 6
