Hofvxnicomlme WEEK j This Freshman has Never Looked So Good, wearing a mask on Hat Day instead 'of the traditional hat. Homecoming is always a speical time for everyone at North. The week preceeding the big game is a time to build up momentum and spir- it to support our team. During this week, Homecoming Week, various activities went on each day. Most ev- eryone participated these fun-filled days, book captured some ments on film. Foxes Day started and the object of it was for the boys to i'capture as many foxes off the girls, as they could. On Hat Day some unusual headgear was worn and on Twin Day some people matched to a tee. Nerd Day was a new addition to this year's festivities and the nerds came out for their debut. Some inter- esting new fads were discovered and and enjoyed and the year- of these mo- off the week, everyone got a good laugh. Spirit Day was the best day of all. For two weeks each class prepared their spirit slogan to unveil the Friday of the infa- mous Homecoming game. When ev- eryone came together for a pep rally in the gym, there was more than enough spirit in the air. The Seniors jammed their way to win the prize for the most spirit and celebrated by having a dance for everybody to go Hawaiian. All in all, the whole week was a success but most importantly the members of this community at North joined together. Everyone showed support for their school and took pride in their efforts. In the years to come, this will continue to be a tradi- tion that will grow stronger each year. Senior Jeff Badamo peers through his beach hat as Jeff Bridge looks on in bewilderment. The Seniors love to jam big time, as is evident by the size of their jams. Juniors Dolfe Marche and Kent Stiegler match each other to a tee on Twin Day. Homecoming Week 19

But this was no ordinary school day, it was one of the 30 or more ex- traordinary experiences many could look forward to during their Senior year on the Hill of Troy. They were like Trojans going to battle, but it was not the . Greek army that they would have to face - it was more terrifying! As they stepped off their buses, they were no longer mere high school Seniors, they had been transformed into . . . Zombies of Physics! During the 1985-86 school year, more than half of the Class of 86 chose to pursue an academic course in the no-man's land of sci- entific injury and explora- tion, sealing their own Once the realm of the Phys- ics room is shut . . . there's no escaping. Rich Parker smiles and asks to see his test . . . Mr. Hiner shows him and grins back! PHYSICS Tim Kelly logically shows Mr. Hiner the right way to do it! No Problem! doom. They signed up for Physics class. After surviving double- period exams, impossible quizzes, never-ending lab reports, undoable home- work, failing grades - and all that fun stuff - there were some light mo- ments. Science is sup- posed to be governed by universal laws and theor- ies, but during many lab periods, things Hjust didn't work. The spings were called beyond their duty, the mercury wiggled every- where, and the calori- meters weren't potty trained. But the struggle was well worth it because if things got boring after wit- nessing the infamous bridge collapse. one would have the opportuni- ty to always watch itsy the tarantula eat his morn- ing meal.
