Student Council committees met, Shield staff reporters gathered news for a tra- ditional first-day newspaper, and Knights and Ladies welcomed freshmen and new students at the Howdy mixer the first Friday night of the school year. As the year got underway, students pursued their interests in a variety of areas. Events and places were import- ant according to individual preferences. The cafeteria, halls, gym, patio, sta- dium, auditorium, and classrooms were places where never-to-be-forgotten events occurred. The prom, plays, grade cards, pep rallies, mixers, games, and club meet- ings provided spice for daily routine. Fees, activity tickets, pep club dues, and publication packets quickly depleted students' allowances, while social life had to be curtailed as studies quickly de- manded time and attention. Word came the last part of September that nine Northwest seniors had qualified as National Merit Scholars. Three seniors won National English Council Awards. Spirit was never better as the football team launched a spectacular season. It looked as if this year would indeed be the Year of the Knights. September 23 was Fair Day, the first school holiday of the year and Knights flocked to the Fairgrounds. By the end of September Knightland had settled into its familiar patterns of life-full of wonderful, exciting experi- ences for the freshmen and a bit of nos- talgic contemplation by upperclassmen.
