Knights on Location In between the two school years there was an explosion a summer explo- sion. Individual enthusiasm sparkled through the hot summer air in Red Knight country. Under the shining sun, different interests and activities kept Red Knights on the move. They desperately attempted to cram their summer dreams into the few short months. Some fortunate North High students discovered the adventure of traveling across the open seas to foreign coun- tries. France, Sweden, Venezuela, Ger- many and Egypt were just a few of the ports-of-call for these wandering Knights. The student who couldn't find time to travel was still not idle. Everyone knows that going slow just isn't the Red Knight 1 - Tennis has become quite popular at North High as Tom Montefinese demonstrates at Rivers Trails tennis courts. 2 - With the addition of bumper boats at the Shell Factory, North students find a wet and wild way to spend a Saturday after- noon. 3 - Setting sail for a pleasant afternoon on the Caloosahatchee River are Christine Gartner and Steve Hurley. 4 - Music follows Brouth Har- ris throughout Red Knight Country. 5 - An outstanding Red Knight swimmer Debbie Siltzer displays her many trophies and awards by the pool. 10 f Student Life Style and to prove this many North students have entered the World of Wheels. Cycling or just cruising were the most common, but 4-wheeling has quickly gained in popularity. A few more daring Knights hit the speedways in go-carts, stock cars, and motorcycles. Small wheels also keep North students in the fast lane. Roller-skating, long a favorite pastime, became even more accessible as a new roller rink, the Palace, opened on US 41 in North Fort Myers. To make all this motion more en- joyable, an item was borrowed from our northern big-city cousins, the Ghetto Blaster. This large, portable stereo- radio soon surrounded North students with music as they moved through the hot days and nights of summer. T2

Cn E ,lent lIfe student Q., RIDE PRIDE PRIDE Student Life North Hi h students may all engage in similar routines under uniform re ulations during their six hour school day, but when tlgie final bell sounds to end the day, their interests and activities are as varied as the atterns and colors of a kaleidoscope. Many are invoqved with campus activities such as clubs, organizations, and sports. Others pursue off campus activities that lead them into challenging fields of per- sonal satisfaction and development. Our ample sup ly of sun and water even affect Red Knights differenfly. Strenuous pastimes like sailing and water skiing compete with the lazy life of sunning on the beach or fishing from the Edison Bridge. Daring, concentration, and skill are the prime pualities needed by our more adventurous peers that ind their energies directed toward 4-wheelin and bull riding. Traits of endurance, stren th, and deter- mination are developed and perfectecf by those who prefer long-distance running or body building. All teenagers today seem to need more and more money to finance transportation and social events. In order to afford these luxuries, North students take a variety of jobs ranging from bagging groceries to cookin burgers, mowing lawns to moving furniture. Nortlfs students, like all teenagers, have been stereotyped because of their blue jeans and loud music. The truth is there are no two students exactly alike. Each is uni ue, save for the way they unite in the spirit of the Rez Knight. Std tLf X9
