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

The Active Set North students expand their horizons through many different experiences dur- ing and after school. They engage in ac- tivities that challenge them, entertain them, and help them to succeed in life. Personal satisfaction, group recognition, and scholastic awards can all serve as in- centives in their quest for individual fulfillment. All teenagers appear to be constantly in motion. Their unlimited energy keeps them in the center of a whirlwind of ac- tivities. Some attempt to channel this energy into the field of physical competi- tion either as members of North's athletic teams or as individuals, competing against others or oneself. Physical fitness has become the by- word. The urge to be one of the slim and beautiful has served as a motive to some Red Knights to begin jogging, play rac- quetball, learn aerobic dance, lift weights, and - diet, diet, diet. Students attending classes at North High often find themselves developing intense interest in certain aspects of their academic Work. As these interests take root, many develop into full-time hobbies and career-orientated projects. Those whose future plans include higher educa- tion often find scholarship aid in these specialized areas. ,ef Q Va--V 1 ,. :Sq The world of entertainment has beckoned young people throughout time and North students are no exception. Talent abounds in the fields of art, music, dance, speech, comedy, and dramatics. Many already use their talents to provide others with pleasurable moments and themselves with the magical sound of ac- ceptance, applause. Animals of all kinds serve as pets for teenagers today. The macaw, wolf, monkey, snake, and skunk have joined the cat, dog, and horse as man's best friend. As North's teens learn to care, and handle their animals, they learn love, pa- tience, and responsibility, traits needed -Q .iaifaf-m-J.-fa ' - 1 3 12 X Student Life
