Homecoming Highlights The fun-filled and memorable 1981 Homecoming week offered all types of activities for North students to participate in and to enjoy. Monday festivities began when North's halls turned into a veritable history book. Cavemen, colonials, flappers, and greasers filled the places normally held by our modern teenagers. Tuesday, Punk Rock Day, offered spirited Red Knights the opportunity to don black glasses, wild make-up, and garbage bags as they pogoed to the sounds of Devo and Blondie. On Wednesday students sported red, white, and black colors and wild chapeaus for the traditional Shorts and Hat Day, otherwise identified as Field Day.

Thursday saw the school draped in white as Grecian gods and god- desses sporting modified sheets flowed through the halls, toasting victory and eating grapes. An event filled Friday kept all participants on the run. A tremen- dous parade, topped off by a skit- filled pep rally at the stadium, got everyone ready for the big game that night against our arch-rivals, the Green Wave. Though in score-board points we trailed, we pulled through triumphant when Fort Myers was found to have played an ineligible student. Homecoming festivities were climaxed on Saturday night with an original and stunning ball held at the Elks Club from 8:00 p.m. to midnight. Queen Frazier and King Sweeney reigned over this final evening of our Endless Knight. 2 3 Oropallo, ,' fi A l 1 - Punk Rockers Rick Morales, Heidi Tietjen, Robin Mandy Smith, Wendy Kelleher, and Sylvia Freeman, take a few moments to pose for the LANCE photographer. 2 - Iuniors Laura Davis, Dawn French, Debbie Bradley, Pam Boyette, and Patti Trealout adorn- ed themselves in the hottest punk rock fashions. 3 - Principal Ed Stickles enjoys a ride in the rumbleseat of a vintage vehicle, chauffeured by Mrs. Linda Fowler. 4 - The First Annual Legs Contest, sponsored by the year- book staff, gave everyone a chance to ogle the legs of North's masculine population.
