Boostering: When North Highls Booster Clubs were formed a year ago, before North even opened its doors, they had one thing in mind. One member put this idea into words when she said, f'Booster Clubs were formed to support the student athletes and muscians and to promote school spirit and sportsmanship. That is exactly what both the athletic and band booster clubs did. The athletic booster club did many things for North's teams, including the sale of hats, shirts, cups, bumper stick- Completing the circle ers, and advertisements in the athletic programs to earn money for the sports equipment they bought. They also helped North sports by cheering on the teams, boosting our stomachs by running the concession stands at events, and boosting confidence and recognition to the teams by giving awards banquets. A good motto for the athletic boosters would be, HGo Team Goll' Band Boosters helped provide sup- port in the music department ranging from help during the citrus fruit drive and the ice cream social to measuring for uniforms and taking care of their clean- ing and repair. They also bought musical instruments and any special needs. Howard Hart, Band Director and Band Booster member, observed, t'Active pro- grams such as the Band could not exist without the support and help of the boosters. HA booster club helps to join par- ents, school, staff, and students to Work togetherf, explained one parent. e E Air.

These things made North High School's suc- cessful NFL team, stated National Forensic League President Prasanta Reddy. Since these words reflected year- round dedication and effort, it was resolved: NFL involved much more than seen by the casual observer. Observation I. Debate had two distinct forms. 1. Policyf2-man debate a. deals with policies b. this year's resolution dealt with water quality. 2. Lincoln-Douglas! 1-on-1 debate a. deals with values b. resolutions varied Observation II. Five main individu- al events. 1. Original oratory 2. Extemporaneous speaking 3. Humorous, Dramatic, and Oral interpretation Observation III. NFL was hard work, but also fun. 1. LibrarianfHistorian Brian Leach once stated, I worked eight days a week on debate. 2. Vice President John Straetker observed, Lots of good looking girls at tournaments. The opportunities and challenges provided through NFL were unlimited. Coach Doreen Reiff-Buelt said, It pro- vided a close-knit 'family' for the stu- dents. The resolution: NFL involved more than that seen by casual observers was proven true. Debate'
