Driller Killer eek We've got spirit, yes we do. Our spirit shone the whole week throughfl Star spirit radiated throughout the week of October 5 to 9, which marked another thrilling Driller Killer Week for North High. The air was filled with excitement and enthusiasm through the entire week, although the activities didn't start until Thursday, with the Bon- fire Rally on Thursday night. The band, varsity football players, cheer- leaders, and other spirited students gathered to cheer and have fun. The varsity players received giant spirit notes. Everyone then walked to the front of the school where the traditional burning of the effigy of Danny Driller took place. Spectators looked on as the fire burned and crackled. When the smoke lifted, nothing re- mained but blue and white ashes. Excitement was building for the game the next night. Soon, Friday was upon us. DK's were seen everywhere. Everyone was ready for the big game at Bakersfield High. North had a good, strong cheering section. The North varsity squad was strong and played hardg but BHS was tough, and won the game. As the North fans left the sta- dium, many were heard to say, Wait 'til next year. l6fDr1ller Killer res Up Students

omecommg Stlrs Splrl Spirit! Spirit! Spirit! There was nothing but spirit during the week of Home- coming. Showing their spirit during the week, students dressed up every day. Monday was Surfer Day with many dressing up in OP shorts and even carrying surf- boards around. Fifties Day, on Tues- day, was a real smash! Girls mostly dressed up in their petticoats and poo- dle skirts from way back in the early years of school. Wednesday, Sweats Day, was also Class Competition Day. On Thursday, the school turned a drab green on Army Day. On Friday, Cowboy Day, everyone put on their spurs and cowboy hats and got fired up at the morning rally. The cheerleaders led yells and the fight song in the quad. The band went marching up and down the halls to get their mcs- sage across that the crowd should be spirited and support our team at the game Friday night. The turnout at the games and the rallies showed that North High was high in spirit and ready for the big events of Friday night. l8fHomccoming Week
