Xl eleventh grade We return to school thinking, This will be our hardest year, -but don't really know what we mean. We meet Mr. Mercurio, our fourth guidance counselor in five years, and another new social advisor, Mr. Davis. At grade coun- cil meetings President Steve Miller impresses us with his amazing vocabulary. Our first major test, the PSAT starts everyone worrying about the future, but we forget all that in the excitement of building our float, Alice in Wonder- land , which cops third place at the North-South game, Our Junior candy stand isn't too profitable-more candy is eaten than sold. National Merits are taken and National Honor Society inducts twenty-six juniors, whose swelled heads are deflated by the SAT's. In chemistry Larry Bloom sends the odor of pineapples reeking throughout the halls, but it doesn't give us the high feeling we've gotten from wearing our new rings. .R , 'LA MAD l SEHERE WEQQQSIQ 3 ',f- , TRIEEOUT UNDER Q .,.q, ,a . .

tenth grade As we enter our sophomore year, we discovered, for a change, that we have a new guidance counselor, Mr. How- ard Lutz. Our security unshattered, we look forward to an exciting year under President jon Ciner's direction. In lieu of the traditional sophomore movie, we have our Autumn Dance, featuring the Ivy Five. Encouraged by the success of this event, we courageously face the task of building a float. Steve Schwartz and Teri Marsh supervise as Archie grows, but the poor boy has an accident on the way to Fireman's Field, and we win no prizes this year. Undaunted, we look to our first One-Act Play to repair our wounded pride. Under the direction of Lee Blum and Margie Marks, we present Eric Richard as a Latin lover wooing Spanish senorita, Laurie Gordon, it is a prize winning play-we win ticket sales. To compensate for this defeat, joan Levine and Sue Edrich, acting as co-chairmen for our Magic Wand booth at the junior Carnival, boost our spirits by replenishing the grade treasury. At the conclusion of the year, we are ready.to meet the challenge of the 11th grade. After all, if we could make it through Mr. Disend's lab sessions, we could make it through anything. asv' , -,, i F' iii? by .N ll 11.5 ' ' ltr n ,Q ,S ,. I f , :dh- Ti . r .pjQ1., 2'a-1 , g Y NT-I

junior carnival Splattered with paint, sticky with cotton candy, we leave our Carnival, the most profitable in North Highs his- tory: many of us with only memories, some with upset stomachs, and a few with souvenirs. For the well-dressed spend- er, Steve Schwartz auctions off various Salvation Army rejects, from wide ties, to army berets, to saddle shoesg for the adventurous there is food and drinkg for the I'll take a chance group, there's a raffle. Hard-working chairmen, Marty Rabach and Judy Goldberg, make sure, too, that kids can lose their money at the quicker-than-the-eye turtle races, the nerve-racking magic wand, and the inevitable nickel pitch. fl y p f J' l i A 'el I Us 'grail .Ami MQ, D 8141 a fri wif, l 'gi Z, 'Y -ff l lit lla lla ',ff'l3+if?l l lNV'l ll f-I ' 1, ,.
