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.

These spirited teachers re- presented an Angel of Mercy, a Hell ' s Angel, and a California Angel, respectively.

Anxiety Strikes Candidates D. ' uring the week of Homecoming, the playful, frolicsome attitude of the student body was reflected in their ac- tivities, costumes, and school spirit. However, for the Homecoming royal- ty, the attitude could not be of carefree bliss. They waited for the answer to the pressing question of the week, Who would be the next queen or princess? ' Having butterflies during this week was normal for most candidates, and the loss of concentration, a major symptom. It ' s the only thing you can think about all week! exclaimed Tina Lasater. However, the candidates wer- en ' t the only ones affected by the pressure. The escorts, too had things to worry about. I couldn ' t believe that Jack forgot his tux on Monday! said My Phuong Tran. Before long, though, the wait was over. On Thursday afternoon, Karen Sisneros and Regina Smith were named as junior and sophomore prin- cesses. Then, the week climaxed with a dazzling fireworks display and the announcement of Margret Shoemaker as Homecoming Queen of 1985. Only then could North and its candidates begin a return to normalcy. After being crowned Homecoming Queen of 1985, Margaret Shoemaker stands peacefully on the UCR field Shoemaker was nominated for the position by the Blue Star Regiment.
