Husky Pride?!! v NORTH DILATIONS JKETBALL )URNAMEN fHIOJJS What did Husky Pride mean? Did it mean attending football games, wearing blue and gold on Fridays, participating in pep rallies? All of these showed pride, but Husky Pride meant more than that. To Lisa Brown it meant, Supporting and believing in your school, taking an interest in school activities. To Coach Bartee Husky Pride meant Being first class in academics, athletics, community, and caring about your school ' s appearance. For others it meant waking up at 5:30 in the morning and staying after school til dusk for workouts and rehearsals. Husky Pride meant sacrificing weekends for a competition, the performance of a play, or completing a deadline for the yearbook. Husky Pride was demonstrated in numerous ways. The wearing of let- terman ' s jackets, club t-shirts and Husky buttons were evident around campus. Many I love North High Huskies bumper stickers were displayed on the backs of cars and around the school. The basketball team expressed their Husky Pride by wearing ties on the days of their games. The thrill of participating, earning that trophy, winning that game or meet, hearing the applause, or just knowing they had done their best for their school resulted in . . .

New Heart to Heart Light From the desert to the sea to all of North High School ... The 1982-83 news ranged from the commonplace to the unique: ENTERTAINMENT: Steven Spielberg ' s E.T. about a homesick ex- traterrestrial became the all time box office smash in 1982. E.T. memo- rabilia — toys, buttons, T-shirts, and hats became as big a money-maker as the movie itself. Officer and a Gentleman became the romantic hit of the year as Tootsie became the comedy smash. On the concert scene, The US Festival put on by a computer wiz, Steve Wozniak, became the Woodstock of the 80 ' s. In TV the comedy series MASH end- ed. Its last episode was a 2 V i hour movie with the Korean war ending. Feb. 28 was declared MASH day. This day was celebrated with parties where many people dressed up as characters of the cast. SPORTS: The NFL football strike topped the sports news for this year. The strike lasted for weeks and forced North students to find other things to do on Sunday afternoons and Monday nights. A modified season was played once the players and owners finally reached a com- promise. The season ended with the usual Super Bowl as the underdog Washington Redskins came out vic- torious over the Miami Dolphins. Football fans were very pleased to hear about the formation of a new league, the USFL, which provided them with year-round football. In baseball, St. Louis defeated Milwaukee in the seventh game of the World Series. After arbitration, pitcher Fernando Valenzuela signed with the Dodgers for a cool million dollars ... a first. TECHNOLOGY: The biggest news in technology occurred Dec. 2 when dentist Dr. Barney Clark received the first permanent artificial heart. This device may ultimately save thousands of heart-disease victims. DEATHS: Henry Fonda, 77; Ingrid Berg man, 67; and Grace Kelly, 52 were a few of the well-known celebrities who passed away this year. The deaths of Karen Carpenter, 32 and John Belusi, 33 were untimely and surprising to many mainly because of their young ages. A revolution in packaging of drugs resulted when seven people died after taking Tylenol capsules laced with cyanide. The tampering with the over-the-counter drug caused fear in Americans to no longer buy the drug. Later it was found that other pro- ducts were tampered with, including eye drops and mouth washes. BIRTHS: Last year ' s sweethearts, Prince Charles and Princess Diana, gave royal fans even more to cheer about with the birth of their baby boy, Prince William, who will one day be the King of England. The first test-tube baby to be born in L.A. county was delivered at USC hospital. It was the third infant to be born in this manner in this country. fllul 36 student life II
