o verlooked To Return For Chance In Sun It was the underclassmen who made up the majority of the people at North, yet this majority was not the ruling class. It fact, they were sometimes overlooked, for they would return later to claim their day in the sun. Opportunities weren ' t as final for the underclassmen. If an event was missed or a contest lost, these people could al- ways say, Well, next time. The urgen- cy of the present was not so crucial. Other people of North were more unap- preciated than unnoticed. It was they, who from eight to three, held the title of Faculty. They were always there to lend a helping hand to a student ' s education or well-being (whether it was wanted or not), and the smooth running of the school depended upon each of them. It was the underclassmen and faculty who would return again and create once more the package that was North. fv -hi Assembled by the school ' s newly created planter, J.J, Culpepper, Loni Wiilson, Colbert Cal- houn, and Rodney McKinnon laugh over the latest happenings. 102 division In need of a little assistance, Ben Barbee leans over to a fellow student to ask a question concern- ing the assignment. Art classes became more popu- lar v ith North students due to the new one-year fine arts foreign language requirement vi hich juniors and all future classes had to meet in order to gra- duate.

Punch For 25 And Cookies For 10 A, kfter two years of being destitute and balancing books in the red, the class officers of 1987 finally began to earn money for the 1986 Prom. The officers tried many types of fundraising, such as candy, flower, and pom-pon sales to provide an slow but steady source of income. They attributed their new found success to organization that had been lacking in previous years. This was main- ly due to Tim Cassidy, new class president, and Mrs. Judy Curtis, the junior class advisor. I felt Mrs. Curtis and I were able to work well together and as the year went on, our class officers became closer while working toward the success of the prom, commented Cassidy. Out of the total cost of the prom, almost half the sum went toward the purchase of refreshments. With punch at 25.00 dollars a gallon, and cookies, 10.00 dollars a dozen, the cost quickly mounted up. 1 couldn ' t believe the prices the hotel charged! exclaimed Vice-President Tina Lasater. The hotel must be making an unbeliev- able profit! Even though it ' s said that, the best things in life are free, the junior class officers found that the things they wanted cost plenty!
