One of the many groups thai was found on the hill each day was made up of sophomores. Mooching off of Rich Lawton ' s lunch, Helen Sanematsu snags a few fries as he looks on. Cars weren ' t the only things found in the park- ing lot at snack and lunch. Tami Charland, Tracy Young and Michelle Tapparo relish a few moments away from class. Loeun, Phoung Tran, and Phaly Loeun are amused by the antics of the pep squad. Fri- day ' s pep rallies served to break the monotony of the everyday lunch. groups 13 II

Places Name Groups Did you have a favorite hang out on campus? The places where peo- ple hung out usually determined that group ' s name: arcadian groupies, hill people, and the parking lotters. Some groups that were formed revolved around a certain organization. BSR members met around the band room, while choir members were usually found at the choir room. Away from the rest of the groups a less visible cluster of drama people assembled in the Little Theater. Classes also played a big part in group location. Mostly sophomores gathered on the hill. Though, several seniors met there also. Freshmen blended into the foliage near the arcade, while most of the juniors congregated in it. Although there were many groups around campus, they all united as one to form North High. Mrs. Rose summed it up best by saying, Everyone here is so friendly. All of the groups seem to mesh together. Surveying the scene from the balcony by the language rooms, the ESL students literally hang out there each day. The hill was a popular gathering spot for many groups this year. Terry Limitiaco, Steve Whatley, Ed Zix, Nancy Witt, and Brian Carricaburu enjoy socializing there during lunch each day. 12 student life

PA Improves Pep The thrill of performing shows on the faces of drill team members, April Anceno and Kerry Tomlinson, during the first pep assembly. What better reason to cancel snack than a pep assembly? With the addi- tion of the new PA system the assemblies were more worthwhile than ever. The system was dedicated at the first pep assembly of the year in memory of Coach Shearer, Mrs. Chesley, and Mr. Pope, three dedicated staff members who passed away last year. The donors wanted to give North a memorial which would be practical, prideful, and long lasting, remarked Dr. Beaty. The $4,304.40 for the system was donated by a graduate of North, Tim Edmond, and the senior classes of 1979-82. Everything from the introductions to the pom routines were clear and easily understood for the first time in North ' s history. The introductions of the fall sports ' teams for football, waterpolo, girls ' tennis and volleyball were met by large rounds of applause from the exuberant crowd. Class competitions were louder than ever before, ending in a tie between the juniors and seniors. With the combination of the roar of the crowd, the music, the cheerleaders, and the new PA, the gym itself seemed to be trembling. Gosh, it feels like a pressure cooker ready to explode, screamed Helen Sanematsu above the clamor. The signs for the class sections and the performance by the drill team and the cheerleaders of Can ' t Be Beat added to the excitement in the gym. We were excited and nervous about performing because it was the first assembly, recalled Theresa Tuazon. Nervous or not, the drill team and all of the others who par- ticipated in the assembly did a great job with the help of the new PA. The pride of Sonya Hernandez shows during the Alma Mater. The Alma Mater has become a tradi- tion, being played by the BSR at the closing of all spirit gatherings. 14 student life
