Helping to raise money for United Way, G 1 students work together to reach 52,000 Student involvement was very important throughout the school year. Whether students chose to take part in spirit, academics, or any other area, everyone was involved. United Way week was one of the main areas in which students chose to participate. As time flowed through the school year, more and more students became involved in what was going on around them. During United Way Week the student body participated in many events to help raise money. The first week of October was set aside for that purpose. Monday through Thursday, all first hour classes worked hard to raise money. The class with the most money won a breakfast on the following Monday. Mrs. Crawford's class won the competition by contributing over 5100. The top ten classes included Mrs. Crawford's, Mr. Schmidt's, Mrs. Leftoff' s, Mrs. Ruswig's, Mr. Cochran's, Mr. Mitchell's, Mr. Willome's, Mr. Darr's,' Mr. Buttram's, and tying for tenth were Nlr. Allen's, Mis. Dollarhide's, and Mrs. -lacob's. Together these classes raised over 5600. Monday through Friday there was a tape race. For a 50 cent donation, students could buy an inch of tape for their graduating class. After a very long and close race, the seniors, juniors, and freshmen tied for first. By winning, all three classes received an hour lunch on Friday. A bake sale was held during lunch on Wednes- day and Thursday. The bake sale was sponsored by Bible Club and Business Club. Tuesday during lunch the S-Club and the faculty competed in a volleyball game in which the faculty won. Although the S-Club put on a good show, they were not able to win. While some of the S-Club played volleyball, others dressed as cheerleaders, and cheered their team on. For a 50 cent donation, anyone could at- tend the game. On Wednesday, something new was added to the week. There was finally a Mr. Redskin crowned at North High. P.T. Adams, Don Her- 3 A LITTLE LOUDER - With great enthusiam and spirit, the S-Section cheers at one of the pep assemblies. The groups loud chants helped to show the spirit possessed by the Seniors. HOPE IT DOES NOT HURT - ln an attempt to pop a balloon with his teeth, Grant Cooper closes his eyes and bites as hard as he can. Popping the balloon was part of a relay race that took place at the Anything Goes assembly during United Way Week. 8fO emng: Student Involvement nandez, Brent Hohnan, Bart Eilts, Bob Cox, and Andre Barry competed in swimsuit, talent, and congeniality competitions. Adding a touch of humor to the talent competition, Don Her- nandez dressed in a tutu and performed ballet, and P.T. Adams showed his version of brealtdan- cing. Although everyone put on a good show, Bart Eilts was crowned Mr. Redskin by winn- ing the talent and congeniality competitions. He was crowned Mr. Redksin at the Anything Goes Assembly on Friday. Sponsored by the cheerleaders and pom pon squad, the assembly could be attended for a 50 cent donation. During the assembly, many teams raced through a crazy obstacle course. The events performed included chewing up a cracker then popping a balloon with one's teeth, and digging a jelly bean out of a bowl of flour with one's toes. By winning their races, the S-Club and the Computer Club competed in a pie eating con- test, which the Computer Club went on to win. The involvement of students was evident in other areas as well. Clubs and academics were participated in because of hobbies or interests. Sports were also widely participated in. With the student body behind them, the athletes had the incentive to do their best. Student involvement was what kept the school year going strong. It helped everyone to main- tain a positive attitude, and provided for a fun and exciting time. As time flowed toward the end of another year, students looked back and remembered all the good times because they were involved.
