Former Red Knight, Sara Jones Morrison talks of old times with daughter Angela and son Brad. Red Knights Angela and Brad Morrison take a brief moment between classes to share a humorous event. Z, Once a Knight, Always a Knight Once a Knight, always a Knight! That Red Knight fever never dies, even after graduation. That special feeling of being a Red Knight goes on forever. That combina- tion of Red, White, and Black tugs at heart strings for a long time after. That fondness has, in many cases, passed down through generations. Some of the Red Knights around campus are prime examples. Monica Skinnen a 1985 graduate, has carried on the tradition for her father, David who graduated with North's first senior class in 1965. Monica's lit- tle sister will also carry on their family tradi- tion of Knighthood. Monica said, lt's a great feeling carrying on the tradition and I'm showing it by wearing my father's graduation tassel. Senior Angela Morrison also carried on the Knighthood for her mother, Sara, who likewise graduated in 1965. Brad Morrison, Angelo's brother, will keep the custom going. Why is being a Knight so wonderful? One can find that answer by merely walk- ing around campus and checking out the people. The population of students, facul- ty, and staff are the most spirited, fun- , . loving people ever to walk through the halls of a high school. Once graduated, a person realizes how privileged he was for being a Red Knight. Little things, such as a football game on television, makes one reminisce about the Red Knights an- nihilating the Cypress Lake Panthers. The various customs around Halloween remind a person of Homecoming Week when his best friend dressed as a punk rocker, For Red Knights, graduation is a com- mencement, a beginning - the beginning of a tradition, a tradition to celebrate!

Anything Goes Styles and fashion at North Fort Myers High School constantly changed with the social trends. Through the twenty-five years at North, styles changed with every year, just as the people who wore them also did. Twenty-five years ago when North's doors first opened, it was the day of the hippie. Long straight hair, Go-Go boots, peglegged trousers, the mini skirt, madras shirts, penny loafers, black leatherjackets, letter sweaters, and greased back hair were all popular in the oO's. The 1970's changed a little with wide ties and the double breasted suit. Hairstyles were still very long. Lapels on jackets were wide, white shoes and belts were popular. Style Hemlines were still short as the mini skirt was in, and then gradually they came down. Bell bottom jeans, leisure suits, and wire rimmed glasses were the rage. Then came the 1Q8O's, when we got into a new and ever changing world of fashion. First, came the preppie look: izod shirts, plaids, penny loafers, short levis, sweaters, polo shirts and deck shoes. Next came the punk rock look: mini skirts and plastic shoes could be seen cluttering the halls of the Red Knight family. Checkered shoes and short hair with a tail was next to be seen. During our silver anniversary, striped jeans, short pants and fluorescent colors started to crowd the hallways, Greens, - oranges, and yellows were the main colors. They were bright, they do stick out in a crowd, and were great attention getters, as well as slip on shoes, and knit tops. As some styles changed, there were those that have remained the same. The redneck or country look, will never go out at North High. Students came adorned with western shirts, belts, levis and boots. Fashion trends came and went. ln the halls of the Red Knight family one would see many different and sometimes strange clothing from generation to generation of Knights. That is one reason the Pied Knight family is not ordinary. The variety of fashions correspond with the variety of types of people.
