Can ' t Do Without It A sk any student about their study habits and you ' ll get a pretty clear picture of how large a role music played in their life. For most, the radio ranked a close third behind only a pencil and a piece of paper in their nightly homework rituals. I always listen to the radio when I ' m do- ing my homework, stated Andy Heil. It keeps my mind off of doing my homework. Music did more than just help students stay awake through their studies, however. Music added a certain spark to almost anything in a student ' s daily routine. It could always be found blaring in cars, and often played a major part in waking up in the mornings.

KROQ was the most popular radio station this year. remedy for plain old boredom, found by most, was switching on the stereo.

rr Spring Fever . . . Catch It ) Participation was the key to North ' s first ever Spring Fever. Flower Child Day got the week off to a good start with many students flashing back to 60 ' s styles. Rob Lough exclaimed, I was surprised at how many students dressed up, especially since it was a Monday. Participation peaked as the week wore on. Hush Days consisted of guys trying to get girls to talk. The next day the roles were reversed. Krista Kimball stated, Hush Days were really great because everyone got involved and didn ' t have to dress up to do it. If it were cheering on the sidelines or playing in the game, everyone seemed to get involved with the broomball tournament. The championship game between the sophomores and juniors was sure to be a big success but was never played because of rain. Finishing off the week was the Sports Dance. Many students participated in this by dressing up as runners, soc- cer players, baseball players, cheerleaders, or just wearing jerseys from different teams. The gym pro- vided the students a fantastic dance floor. Whether it was dressing up, par- ticipating in lunch activities or going to the dance, everyone found something to be involved with during the week. Because of this involve- ment the week was a success. During the broom-ball tournament Mark Orttung and Andy Wood defend their goal for the juniors as Todd Just and Wayne Daggy try to score for the seniors. The Juniors won 2-1. spring fever 43
