Spirit, school pride, achievement, vic- tory-just a few words that come to mind when describing the students at North High. Throughout the year, you, the students, shared many experiences and feelings that brought you closer together. High school is a time when never-ending friendships are made, and those moments with friends and lovers you will always want to remember. Your yearbook is a book filled with memories that will never be forgotten. This year started out with the usual grind of homework, and breaking into the already all-too-familiar routine. But all too soon fall was gone, and along with it Homecoming, class com- petition day, Powderpuff, and the for- mal. Football games had been relived and forgotten as basketball games be- came foremost in everyone's mind. The varsity girls basketball season will be long remembered as the underdogs came from behind to take over SYL. Led by four All-League players, the team worked its way into the sectionals against Riverside-Poly. Always to be remembered are the victories over West, BHS, Clovis-West and Wendy Martell's thirty-point games. Not only will the games be remembered, but also 242lClosmg Erin Sta -Erazq E the coming together of students, facul- ty and fans to give their total support. School pride was given a new defini- tion by the Athletic Supporters to tell everyone that North High was 9651! in As the semester and basketball season ended, and winter gave way -to spring- -fond memories of last years' Valley Championship baseball team came into focus, also the hopes and expectations for this year's team. But, it was not only in sports that the Stars shone bright. Early in November the 1981 Academic 'Decathlon captured first place in Kern County for the Super Quiz event. A member of this team, James Piazza, scored 1490 on his 'SAT test land-,became a National Merit Scholarship finalist. The last months of school swiftly went by, leaving behind memories of many activities and events. During Blossom Week, the faculty beat the students in their annual basketball game, and Tami Brooks was crowned Blossom Day Queen. Also, in March was the drama production, A Midsummer Night's Dream , a huge success!! It featured such characters as The Wall portrayed by Greg Williamson and Thisbe played by Marty Ansolabe- here. In May the juniors sponsored the al- ways memorable Junior-Senior Prom. The year came to an end with juniors looking forward to being seniors, soph-v omores waiting to be upperclassmen, and freshmen wanting to be anything but freshmen. The graduating class was filled with sadness, fear and an- ticipation. I'd like to leave you with one last thought. As the student body of Nortli High, we are all Stars. Stars that burd with energy. Energy to climb impossi- ble heights, and to reach out and take hold of seemingly unattainable goalsg energy to achieve and fulfill oul dreams. With this energy every student will go to the Highest Through the Stars! God Bless you all, Your Editor-In-Chief, Njuelei YY1eoc's,LC
