Toilet Talk
Michael Schley
January 8, 2014
It is worth mentioning before I proceed any further that I am deeply in love with my school. We have character. We have grace. The worst days we have still cannot keep us down for any longer than that point in time. That is because we come back to a place where individuality is commended, intelligence...
In My Opinion: Hallways

Brandon Morrison
November 2, 2012
Lunchtime. A time to stretch our legs, sit with friends and eat our share of Otis Spunkmeyer cookies and then some. Another year has begun and students are already getting into the daily motion of chew, swallow and repeat. But with this new school year, an old problem still remains. The bell rings, the...
Football: Districts Start This Week
Andrew Keech
October 9, 2012
In the Kansas High School Playoff system, every team's last 3 games decide whether or not they make the playoffs or not. Basically, what happened in the first 6 weeks means nothing to any team's post season. You can go 6-0 in the first 6 weeks and lose 2 of your 3 district games and not make the playoffs....

Andrew Keech
January 18, 2012
There are many things a kid could get involved in here at North. We have a fantastic NJROTC program, a great yearbook staff, and our sports teams are bringing people together every new season. It’s only high school, right? Kids are only going to be here for four years of their lives. Why waste this...

There is no reason for complaining
Brandon Morrison, Coeditor
December 1, 2011
As students have noticed, the corny and informative announcements are no longer being presented near the end of North’s third and fourth blocks. This is making the usually difficult task of informing students of things much more difficult. Now two months into the school year nothing but complaining...
