Megan's Mysteries

From Megan:

I have a couple of Northgate Mysteries to add, and maybe some pictures later.

1. Did we really have a smoking area? Cancer Cove? Someone back me up. My children and students won't believe me that students could smoke at school. With yard supervisors, mind you.

2. English Club? Anyone but me remember this? It was the English club because we all spoke English? We thought we were VERY clever.

3. The mice from YV? They send a bunch of mice to NGHS painted blue and yellow? I have a co-teacher at my school who graduated 1987 from YV and she remembers this too. Anyone else?

The Rappelling Photo

Matt C. sends this photo of NG Mystery #1. Note that this photo is not in the yearbook, but according to Matt "was the cover bleed image for the
last issue of The Sentinel for the 85/86 school year". John Engstrom on the left, Mark Schmidt on the right.

Northgate Mysteries

I think we should start a list of mysteries that could potentially be solved. NGHS Mythbusters: Three that I can think of:

1) What was the deal with the rapellers off of the roof. I think Chris B. and John E. were involved. This was to hold a sign in front of the building. Rumor was that one of them actually had a gear failure (or operator error) and fell from the roof all the way to the concrete but was uninjured. True, False, or Exaggerated?

2) Who masterminded rolling a car into the building on the last day of our senior year? I remember Principal Hansen strolling around asking us if we knew anything...

3) Why is there a photo of guys dressed up as Chippendale's dancers in the yearbook? I know Chris B.(again), Matt C., a few others were in that pic. What is the deal?

If you have other mysteries, or can clear up any of the ones listed, let me know in comments or email...
