AN ANCIENT BEGINNING | With Toga Day being one of the most significant senior year traditions, senior Jenna McSkimming reminisces on the event. “This memory is important to me because it was one of our first senior memories for homecoming to start off the year,” McSkimming said. “We were all together as a class running the hallways.”

QUEEN BEE | During her final homecoming football game, senior Eleanor Bernas recived the honor of homecoming queen. “Winning homecoming queen was one of the best feelings I’ve ever experienced,” Bernas said. “North is so special to me, and I will always feel like a Norsewoman.”
