Students Save Money For Everyone With today ' s rising inflation, more and more people were taking fix-it- yourself classes, such as Auto-Tech. This club offered experience and at the same time provided the staff and students with economy prices. North ' s very own huskymobile as well as Dr. Beaty ' s, and Mr. Wolfs cars were fixed in the auto shop. The only things that customers had to pay for were the parts, which were discounted by Auto Plus, Chief Auto Parts, and many other local parts ' stores. Not only did the customers gain by having their cars fixed for low prices, but it also gave members a chance to gain experience. Tony Martinez stated, I ' ve learned so much; I can repair my car now. It really cuts down the costs of taking it to someone else. Contestants were lined up and ready to start another race. The gun sounded and they were off. Motocross teams from Arlington, Poly, Upland, Mater Dei and, of course, North were racing for first place. As riders came in, a contestant from North was seen leading the pack. The winner was announced. North ' s rider, Gary Dent, took first place for this race. What made his win so special was that Dent rode with a broken ankle. Dedication and team support, like Dent ' s made the year successful for the Motocross Team. Team dedication and support was also apparent when it came to fundraising. The members of Motocross spent a few of their Friday and Saturday evenings on the fields of San Diego and Anaheim Stadiums. They put up fences, helped contestants check their bikes, and kept spectators off the field. Being paid as a group, not everyone had to show up . . . but they did. Dee Dee Ashley commented, The time we put into Motocross paid off. We have medals and trophies to show for it. Need a bookshelf? Maybe a cabinet? The North Woods Club specialized in making various handcrafted woodworks, such as cutting boards which they sold at swapmeets. The money went into their funds to purchase new tools at the end of the year. Not only did they make these fund-raising projects, but on requesl : they made anything from desks tq bedframes. Richard Lawton stated, made a lot of different things, bui i there was one I ' ll never forget. Mrs) r Rose actually asked for a wooden 4B pineapple holder! What do Toro Lawnmower corpor- ation and other industries have to dc with the Metals Club? Touring these companies enabled members of the i Metals Club to actually see what i would be like to work in the industriai world. Not only did this club let members have a chance to observe people a work, but it also gave members the opportunity to improve the individual skills by making tool boxes and various other projects. Practicing at De Anza Cycle Park, James Cont (10) prepares for an upcoming race. Conti tool second place in the race which was the seconc high school race held at Corona Raceway.

Clubs Undergo Changes What boys would have the courage to model in women ' s clothing? Evidently, the boys in French Club did for Foreign Fantasy night where they dressed in the latest women ' s French fashions giving the crowd a big kick. Through this and many other activities, the French Club encouraged the French language and culture in the community and in the student body. Another such activity which later proved to be a big money maker, was the annual film showing that took place in May. In only our first year of existence, I was surprised that our club accomplished many of our goals, stated Amita Sharma. Looking for seniors? Don ' t look in Polaris. The Polaris Club published and printed the Polaris, a literary magazine. With only three seniors, the staff was young and inexperienced. The club got off to an early start. In the beginning of the year, weekly meetings were held for editing and rewriting submitted literature and art work. During sec- ond semester, the club faced a huge work load. The members learned how to typeset, paste-up, shoot and strip a negative, print and collate the pages. New and young members brought new ideas and a lot of energy to the project, stated Frank Hernandez. Branching out from the popular Dungeons and Dragons game, the Adventure Games Club tried out other new role-playing games such as the Cork. Members brought examples of new games to club meetings for playing. Discussions took place afterwards to evaluate the experience. They also attended the Redlands Gaming Tournament where they tested out their skills and wits in Dungeons and Dragons.
