1 6 X Open ing Red Knight Mania From the second North High students pour onto campus before dawn, until their last class ends, their school spirit soars like the eagle that represents our whole nation. Red Kni hts demonstrate their national pricfe as they stand at attention in homeroom each morning and listen to the national anthem, recite the Pledge of Allegiance, and bow their heads for a few moments of silent meditation. This same pride is evident at home football and basketball games as both fans and opponents partici ate in singing the national anthem before the competition be ins. Red Knights express sclgiool pride in many ways. During Homecoming Week students and faculty participate in a variety of events that build up enthusiasm for the big game on Friday night. Classrooms, allways, offices, and windows repeat the message of North High's confidence in their team's ultimate triumph. This type of spirit exists throughout the year. Red, white, and black banners hang on the walls before all athletic events to assure everyone that North is iii in all sports. Every loyal Knight owns at least one piece of red clothing that they proudly wear on spirit days. Nothing is more inspiringlthan a sea of screaming red-s irted fans at a pep rally, competing for the spirit stick, and urging the athletes to victory. Spirit and ride are part of the daily life at North. Everyone is extremely helpful and willin to extend the hand of friendship. Different clubs and organizations take advantage of the patio area, cafeteria, and hallways to entice new members and 4 advertise their projects and purposes. Agricu ture classes elp beautify the campus by planting flowers, trees, and shrubs and distribute potted plants to classrooms and offices to bring nature indoors. Even as inflation caused the price of school lunches to jump to 81.30, the spirit of North's students was not diminished. Many coped with the situation by brown bagging and a few added a touch of humor by carrying Star Trek, Rocky Roug-lhneck, and Holly Hobby lunc boxes. The North Fort Myers campus is home to over 1,500 students for six hours a day. It may not be new, but over t e twenty years it has existed on Orange Grove Boulevard, our beloved Red Knight Country has become an important part of the community. .1-rl 1 2 t l'1'.r',:.:.L,- .11 V- i :.-A s ' i... . 1 ' 3 ,
