Summer Flies By Again T he adventure started June twen- ty-second. North students woke up in the morning and realized they didn ' t have to go to school. Sum- mer arrived and everyone was at last free! This, however, did not mean boredom. North students shared a varied summer full of ac- tivity and relaxation. I like summer because I get to leave Riverside! explained Emily Elders. For the past six summers I ' ve been going to camp in North- ern California. Summer was a time for new things for other stu- dents. This summer 1 went wa- terskiing, horse back riding, and to Disneyland for the very first time, chuckled Conrad McQueen. It was cool! Summer loafing was also enjoyed. I just bummed around and got a tan, laughed Karen Welker. Sum- mer allowed many to relax, reflect, and recharge for a new year. Summer ended, but it remained un- forgettable. Whether spent in orga- nized activity or just loafing around, summer provided time for everyone to do what they wanted. Discovering the true meaning of being spaced out, Matt Shoaf hovers above the earth. Shoaf went into space this summer at the NASA Space Center in Houston, Texas. 12 studentlife

Creative Spirit Shines D. uring homecoming week, many mind;; were at work, but not on class- work. Students were spending more time than usual thinking about what to wear to school. Back to the Future was the theme, with Wacky Hair, Kin- dergarten, Old-Timers, Halloween and Blue and Gold dress-up days. Old-timers day lent itself to many dif- ferent interpretations. Some people were clad in clothes from the fifties, while others donned grandma panty- hose and sweaters. Tinsel wigs and the traditional spray-in hair color adorned many heads for Wacky Hair day. It ' s really fun watching people create so many different looks. , ex- pressed senior Monica Decker. The parade took place on the last day of the festivities, but not everything went smoothly. Various organizations ran into problems with their floats. The Finertz Club ' s float was built on a trailer with a hitch that was too small for the truck. We were up until 11:00 pm the night before and then we couldn ' t even have our float in the parade! said My Hanh Tran. I was so angry! The Junior class, whose time machine float wouldn ' t balance on the truck bed, wound up holding it themselves throughout the parade. Even with the problems though. North students still enjoyed them- selves. As a newcomer to North, I was really delighted with the home- coming activities. , stated Kalyn Ells- worth. North High teachers Ms. Curtis, Mrs. Kings- bury, and Mrs. Duncanson show their true faces on Halloween. These spirited teachers re- presented an Angel of Mercy, a Hell ' s Angel, and a California Angel, respectively. Lumbering up the hill at lunchtime, Victor Her- nandez and Donna Jack impersonate their ideas of Old-Timers. 14 student life
