Previously scheduled for Febru- ary 9 through 14, Twirp Week was held February 16 through 21 due to difficulties in procurring a band. The one week’s delay, however, didn’t dampen the student body's enthusiasm. On Monday the students wore bandannas in their favorite colors. This day was quite successful because bandannas have been very popular at NHS this year. Student-Teacher Day finally gave the students the opportunity to get a first hand account of what it is like being a teacher, as many students were allowed to teach classes. Baggy, cuffed, pants, long skirts, bobby socks, and pony-tails were common sights on Wednesday, The ’50’s Day. Thursday was Green and Gold Day. The students showed their homage to NHS by wearing green and gold, the school colors. Sadie Hawkins Day, held on Friday, gave the girls the opportu- nity of asking the guys to the dance. Judging from the number of people at the dance, the girls really took advantage of the ephemeral privi- ledge to break the traditional rules of etiquette. Saturday night was the climactic end of the week of activities planned by the Student Council. The students and faculty were en- tertained by ‘The Sly, The Slick, and The Wicked.” During the inter- mission, William Bynum, Senate chairman, introduced the court and announced the Valentine Queen. Calmly, William began making the announcement the student body had awaited all week, “Second runner-up, Dawn Quinlan; first runner-up, Teresa Clark; and the 1975-76 Valentine Queen, Natalie Rogers.” Tears, hugs, and screams filled the air. Another evening of pleasant memories were once again made at Northwood. 1. Twerp Court for the 1975-76 school year are from left to right; front: Corledia McClinton, Tami Goodwin. Cindy Lynch.

French student Pascale Leblanc adjusts to new lifestyle Pascale Marie Therese Leblanc, a French exchange student, arrived in the United States on August 25, 1975 and studied as a Senior at North- wood. She was part of the Interna- tional Cultural Exchange Program (ICX) and was one of thirty-four exchange students in North Carolina. Her visit was ANOTHER STEP FOR- WARD because Pascale was the first exchange student to live in Pittsboro and attend classes at Northwood. Pascale arrived two days after school had started and quickly ad- justed to a new lifestyle, language, family and school. She lived with the James Mulligan family and enjoyed telling them of life in France. She was soon involved in student life at North- wood as she signed up for classes, attended her first football game, par- ticipated in Spirit Week and made new friends. At home. Pascale enjoyed horse- back riding, sailing, and getting ac- customed to American Food. She found she liked peanut butter, marsh- mallows. and corn, foods which aren’t eaten in France. Along with eating strange food, Pascale participated in many new activities which she had never tried before, such as playing softball, trying her luck on a pogo- stick and celebrating such holidays as Thanksgiving. She had a chance to see different parts of the U.S. as she traveled to Florida, Ohio, Washington D.C. before returning to France in mid-July to fur- ther her education at a University in Lille. 1.
