SA has fun while helping GPN and its community The Student Association of Grosse Pointe North, as in past years, was very busy contributing to the activities and all around spirit of the school as well as the community. The 7576 calendar was chuck full of benefits and fee- tivities. The S. A., with the help of the entire school, organized a food drive for needy families. The Thanksgiving and Christmas Food Drives brought a new dimension to the lives of the student body. Two movie nights also proved beneficial to the community. Admission to the movies was two cans of food and a minimal charge, a cheap price to pay to see either American Graffitti or The Sting. Blood Drives were held twice with an enthusiastic crowd of donors for each. Festivities for the S. A. continue year round. The Homecoming was handled by the S. A. as well as the Valentines Day Dance. All the dances proved lucrative and also fun for North students. A more serious side of the Student Association can be seen in their concern for the welfare of the student body. The S. A. meets periodically to discuss such matters as finals and the expeditures of the treasury. Chosen Senators meet monthly with the school board to give their opinion of pro- posals and other such business. With all the senators, officers, sponsor Don Dungan and the student body working for the S. A., this organiza- tion has met the needs and desires of all in the North community.

l75 Homecoming: sunshine, smiles Homecoming 75 was a first for Grosse Pointe North; it did not rain. Sunshine heightened the spirits of Norsemen as they came out to view the floats, the court and the Norsemen victory. The float competition was held differ- ently this year. The Hoats were judged in two categories: the best representation of the Bicentennial theme and the best all around Hoar. The Seniors captured first place with their giant eagle. However, the Juniors were the top prize winners of the day; their Bicentennial birthday cake took first for best all around Hoat. Once again, the Homecoming court was presented during half-time. The Senior court beamed with beauties: Sally Moore, Mary Ann Daskas, and Beth Williams. The Junior class chose Mindy Study and Janet Fisher while Sophomores Ann Van Vliet and Marilyn Mitasik radiated their court. Wendy Tuck and Carla Moorhead brightened the class of 795 court. The climax of the half-time festivities came with the crowning of Mary Ann Daskas as 1975 Homecoming Queen. Rob Seski presented Mary Ann with her crown and a gold pendant. The crowds cheered and the bleachers rumbled as the Norsemen won a victory over the Lakeview Huskies. Many alumni were in attendance for this victory against this rival. T0 cap oil the day, the Homecoming dance was held in the gaily bedecked cafeteria. This years theme was How Sweet It Is by James Taylor. The couples enjoyed rocking and rolling to the beat of Astigafa as memories were made which will last a lifetime.
