The continuous guidance of Ms. Nancy Ward for the past three years, has enabled the group to develop leadership abilities and to spread their devotion to rural America throughout the community. The F.F.A.'s motto, Doing to Learn, Learning to Do was exemplified by members whether they were fund rais- ing, competing at the local or state level, working for their organization, school, or community, or just enjoying social events. This year they accepted the responsibility of organizing North's complicated Homecoming Field Day. 68 I Organizations Not only were they responsible for allot- ting refreshment booths and setting up the activity schedule, but when rain caused a last minute alteration in plans, they reorganized the entire event throughout the halls, patio area, and bus ramp. When F.F.A. decided to get involved, they went all out. During Homecoming their hot, buttery' corn-on-the-cob was again a itl attraction, and their float en- try garnished the blue ribbon. The F.F.A. Rodeo in December provided a full array of exciting events for both par- ticipants and spectators. Liquid soap sales, the continuous production and sale of produce and plants, and the an- nual drawing for a side of beef also add- E l s 5 -. nn X , 5 ,1 bl rj .W . 1 1,1 'S ii ' . X an ed dollars to their treasury. A major portion of the club's funds went toward their favorite project, an F.F.A. Leadership Training Center. This center will provide an educational and recreational environment for all con- tests, meetings, and seminars involving vocational agriculture members and personnel. Coordinating the F .F.A. activities this past year were President Linda Larson, Vice-President Bill Kurz, Secretary Tracy Mann, Treasurer Teresa Lan- dress, Sentinel Ioby Gay, and Reporter Craig Giovannelli. These officers and the other F.F.A. members made North proud it has a little bit of country on Orange Grove Boulevard.

Named after the legendary sword Ar- thur used to right injustices dur- ing his reign as King of England, North's Excalibur is used to showcase the creative talents of student writers, poets, and artists. The Excalibur staff, under the direction of Mrs. Martha Richardson, solicited the con- tribution of original stories, ar- ticles, essays, poems, and draw- ings from the students at North throughout the year. The staff then proceeded to turn this pot- pourri of creative efforts into an attractive edition of the annual magazine. Our modern day knights spent hours designing layouts, reading, editing, and typesetting copy, and choosing and prepar- ing original artwork and photographs. They were involv- ed in all stages of production, even to selling advertisements and securing contributions to finance the production. Their reward came with the publica- tion and sale of the magazine in the spring and the knowledge they had helped budding writers, poets, and artists see their original efforts in print. Excalibur's Editor Diana Bishop, Assistant Editors Terri Cochrane and Michele Markovitz, Art Editor Doreen Makar, Photo Editor Ienny Nicks, Poetry Editor Mark Kinder, and Publicity Editor Mil-fe McQuinn worked with their staff in producing an outstanding magazine for North High 1882. It was enteraining, innovative, and something that all Red Knights could enjoy with pride- Organizations f 67

Stoppers of Extinction Green-Peace is a relatively new organization on the North High campus. The group is committed to helping its na- tional organization in halting international whaling, Canada's annual Harp Seal hunt, and Iapan's killing of the dolphins. The members of the club strove to help the national affiliate in their efforts to discontinue all of the above unnecessary and inhumane acts by raising funds to keep the public informed of these atrocities. During Homecoming Week, Green Peace sponsored a drawing. Tickets were purchased, for 1011: each, by North students and the lucky winner became the proud owner of an adorable, soft, white toy seal. The second prize winner received a smaller version of this cuddly creation. Donations from members and bake sales throughout the year also brought in money. Officers of this organization during 1981-82 were President Pam Hagie, Vice- President Terri Osborne, Secretary Iill Wallace, Treasurer Karen Snodgrass, and Coordinator Christy Boring. Their adviser was Mrs. Betty Kayusa, Science Depart- ment Chairperson. Best of luck to these dedicated students in Green-Peace in their truly worthwhile crusade. They have shown everyone that Red Knight concern reaches around the world. 1 ,M . kg, .- A ,gpm . an Q .3 will . .
