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. The in- teresting thing about Field Day this year was its settingg it was held in the halls as opposed to its tradi- Mother Nature have rained on our tional site, the stadium. field of play, but didn't dampen the Red Knight spirit or morale. 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.

Regal Ro alt The crowning of the Homecoming Queen and King is perhaps one of the most memorable oc- casions of any school year. This important evening in 1981 began with the display of floats for the Homecoming game crowd. Classes and organizations displayed con- test entries that their members had worked on diligently with high hopes of placing in the com- petition. Chauffeured cars cruised intermittently around the track carrying the couples of the Homecoming Court. Preceding the annual Homecoming football game, the Red Knight Band lined up across the field with the Flag Corps forming an archway through which each Homecoming Court couple made their triumphant entry. As each couple ap- peared, their names were announced along with the class they represented and a small sum- marization of school activities and future plans. As always the final announcement of the King and Queen was met with thunderous applause. The 1981 Homecoming King and Queen were Greg Sweeney and Kristy Frazier. 1 1 - The 1980 Queen Barbara Gurgol adjusts the royal robes of her successor, Kristy Frazier, while the newly crowned King, Greg Sweeney awaits his royal partner. 2 - North High's 1981 Homecoming Queen and King, Kristy Frazier and Greg Sweeney. 3 - The 1981 Homecoming Court poses for their official portrait with the 1980 Homecoming Queen and King, Barbara Gurgol and Mike Scott and North High Principal Edmund Stickles. 28 X Events 3
