In the morning oi any schopl day at North, students could be seen pour- ing into the campus from all directions. I ' tudents traveled to school and other events by whatever method they could, mcluding by car, bicycle, or on foot. Not having to depend on Mom or Dad for rides to and from games, school, friends ' houses, and other events ad- ded new dimensions to the lives of ev- ery driving student. Since I got my license, I have more freedom because I don ' t have to depend on someone else to drive me, said Andy Nielson. Those who were not old enough to get a license or who didn ' t have the use of a car resorted to other means of getting around. Bicycles were ultilized by many students. I could get a ride with a friend, but 1 like my bike; besides, it ' s the most exercise I ' ve gotten since school started, said Rebecca Everett. Although not the preferred modes of transportation, other methods of get- ting around were taking the bus, get- ting a ride, or walking. Although some dreaded their trek to school, it wasn ' t so bad for others. Kristie Atchison ob- served, Walking is OK as long as the weather stays good. But regardless of whether they spent half an hour walking, 10 minutes cy- cling, or whisked around in a car, North students definitely got around. •• Guiding his motorcyle out of the cage, Chris Robinson begins his ride home after school. Al- though many students rode bicycles and mopeds, only a few rode motorcycles. 20 student life

Assemblies, pep rallies, lunch time activities ... it was a week of tun and games for most Nortfi stu- dents, but for the homecoming can- didates, it meant much more. It was something to always remember, said Tammy Kettlewell. The week started off on Monday with an assembly presenting the candidates I was nervous at first, but I got over it, said junior prin- cess Cynthia Serna. I was afraid of slipping, added Margaret Shoe- maker. The day of the parade, Wednesday, aroused even more nerves. Each candidate had to worry about hav- ing a unique car for their transporta- tion. Finding a car was chaos! ex- claimed Nancy Witt. Yet, she ended up with a classy blue convertible Fiat. Other cars included: a vintage Chrysler; a black ' 84 Trans Am; and two Jaguars. But Friday was the biggest day of all. During the pep rally at lunch, Karen Sisneros was announced sophomore princess, and Cynthia Serna was an- nounced junior princess. I was shocked and excited at the same time, said Sisneros. During the foot- ball game ' s halftime. Kelly Lover- idge was crowned the 1984 ITome- coming Queen. Preparation for the week wasn ' t all fun and games. But all in all, it was a fantastic week for everyone. The best thing was being able to share the great feeling with all of my other friends who were nominated, said Terry Limtiaco. ••• After being crowned the 1984 Home- coming Queen, Kelly Loveridge stands in dindzement. homecoming 19
