,-X' fi!! ,Z Q.. tl 1, N-.c Finishing Aheod of Schedule This twenty-fifth onniversory yeor ot North High School introduced o new ond enticing concept for some seniors - Jonuory groduotion. This gove some students o chonce to Ieove high school one semester eorlier thon their fellow clossmotes. Those lucky Red Knights com- pleted oll of the required courses by the end of the first semester of the senior yeor on Jonuory 16. They possed oll those re- quired courses ond eorned their 22 credits. Although these eorly groduotes weren't here for the second semester closses, they were still oble to porticipote in oll the dif- ferent octivities thot occomponied the senior yeor. These seniors went on the senior cruise, went to Grod Night '85, ot- tended the Junior-Senior Prom, ond wolked ocross the stoge with the rest of the Closs of '85 on groduotion night. g Although the ideo of leoving high school o semester eorlier sounded oppeoling to mony, it took tremendous dedication ond hord work for our Red Knights to quolify. These industrious students completed the second semester of their twelfth grode English closs either during summer school, night school, or during the first semester. They hod to hove token ond possed the Student Assessment Test ond, if necessory, received moin-streoming of individuol skills in either moth or English. Most of ther eorly groduotion students storted working full time or storted toking college courses ot Edison Community Col- lege. Therefore, they were oble to get o heod stort on their future coreers. As op- peoling os Jonuory groduotion sounds, it took determinotion ond hord work eoch of their four yeors for our 1985 Jonuory groduotes. Night school will help Red Knights finish eorly.

The Class of '86 Their last year of being considered underclassmen, North's juniors made this year a spectacular one. The Class of '86 showed their spirit, pride, and different talents in many ways. Thejuniors were led by President Shelley Gartner, Vice- President Bradley Morrison, Secretary Rabin Gardner, Treasurer Donna Bradley, Class Coordinator Holly Rowe and an ex- ecutive council which consisted of about thirty members. Being the junior class meant that they would be in charge of the Junior-Senior Prom. lt took considerable planning and a large amount of money to make the 84-85 Prom a success. Held at the Spanish Main, the event provided music, dancing, food and fun. ln order to have enough money for the Prom and other activities, the junior class participated in many fund raisers. They spent many long hours selling candy during the eight weeks of summer school, sold calendars which represented the twenty- fifth year of North High, red and white shakers to display their spirit, heartshaped balloons for Valentines Day, cheese and sausage, and beach towels for the summer. The Class of '86 was certainly not idle this past year. They worked hard and played hard, with the anticipation of their senior year in mind. The 84-85 school year came to a close and the so-called juniors were suddenly seniors. 'l8O ' I 3 I 1 .A 1 ,.j - 9 f 1 t . 1143 Tl, M...

North Fort Myers High School had a high percentage of peo- ple who experienced that certain craving. A survey conducted in homerooms in- dicated that over 802, of North's popula- tion ate junk food on a regular basis. The most preferred snacks were pizza, tacos, and hamburgers. The most popular spots for satisfying those attacks were Dino's, Taco Bell, and McDonald's. A great number of students and faculty visited these establishments as part of their daily routine. Juniors For some people, breakfast consisted of a quick stop at a 7-Eleven on the way to school to pick up a Coke and a candy bar. This food was generally selected if there was no leftover cold pizza or fried chicken in the refrigerator from the night before. Some more adventurous students downed nachos with their soda. A great deal of junk food was also con- sumed betwen classes, at lunch, and dur- ing seventh period. M6M's, lollipops, and bubble gum were all popped into mouths throughout the day. Fewer students pur- chased complete lunches from the cafeteria than did those who only filled up on french fries and Debbie Cakes. Even after a whole day of perpetual munchin' out Red Knights continued this past-time into the evening hours as they selected junk food over Mother's home- made cooking for dinner. lt was not possi- ble to tackle homework or view televsion unless one had a complete array of junk food varieties available within arm's length. This insatiable craving for junk food was not new to Red Knights this year, but it cer- tainly increased to the point where one could label this the year of the munchies.
