Students ride to school on two, four, or six wheels Although about three fourths of the student body arrived at school by bus, many perferred the convenience of a car or even a motorcycle. Drivers of cars had a designated parking lot separated from the bus parking and were required to pay for parking priv- ileges. A few early teachers and students arrived a little after 7:30.

Burke opens school year Summer s pleasures, amusements, and labor drew to a close for North- wood's students when they returned to school August 21. The biggest news of the new year was that North- wood had a new principal, its third in four years. On the opening day Mr. Joe Burke, former teacher of social studies at the school, introduced him- self as the new principal. He made clear to the student body what was expected of them and expressed his hopes for the coming year. During the days that followed it was difficult for most students to realize that summer was over and settle down to another year of study. Freshmen wandered helplessly around the school not certain of where they were going. But before long the frustration ended and the school relaxed into the routine of another year. 1. Football players were hard at work before the season began, preparing for the season ahead. 2. Mr. Burke speaks to the student body at the orientation assembly on the opening day of school. 3. Seniors had enviromentals portraits taken August 27. Here a group fills out order forms while they patiently await the photographer. 4. Freshmen Sarah Cooper and Margaret Oldham found Northwood to be a change until they became accustomed to the new sur- roundings! 5. Northwood's halls are mass confusion on the first days of the year.
