' • 144 • - Well, I left my happy home To see what I could find out I left my folk and friends With the aim To clear my mind out Will, I hit the rowdy road And many kinds I met there Many stories told me Of the way to get there But sometimes you have to moan When nothing seems to suit ya Nevertheless you know, You ' re locked in towards the future So on and on I go The seconds tick the time out There ' s so much left to know And Tm on the road to find out — Cat Stevens MEMORY And you wait, awaiting the one to make your small life grow: the mighty, the uncommon, the awakening of stone, the depths to be opened below. Now duskily in the bookcase gleam the volumes in brown and gold you remember lands you have wandered through, the pictures and the garments of women lost of old. And you suddenly know: It was here! You pull yourself together, and there stands an irrevocable year of anguish and vision and prayer. -Rilke- ¥ - The sea runs without end, sometimes slowly, sometimes swiftly, eternally creating formations and images in the sand. It is the same as life. We live, some of us quickly, others with caution, taking time, and the experiences create lines and impressions. And our faces, like the sand, show what happens in our souls. 1 I G R ( i •Mw v This is life. Portrayed on the stage for ages; Recorded earthily for centuries; Lived in strangeness for years; Sung as a hymn for days; Exalted for but an hour, but the Hour is treasured by eternity as a jewel. ACTIVITIES Candy Fisher Reigns in ' 73 Homecoming A Happy excited Candy Fisher. The lights went out - . the crowd hushed to a whisper tension, anticipation mounted and suddenly Candy Fisher was sobbing in happy disbelief as she was crowned 1972 Homecoming Queen. During the traditional half-time ceremonies. Candy ' s court was introduced to Saxons and alumni. They reigned over the remaining half of the game against West Warriors. Sponsored by the Senior Class of 1973. the Home- coming Dance and reception was held in honor of these six beautiful girls. Music for the occasion was provided by the band Clap.

And again on Oct. 27th. five of these beauties sobbed in disbelief and hap- piness when they were announced as Top 5 for Homecoming Court. Excitement and anticipation filled the air during the week of Home- coming activities — Oct. 30th - Nov. 3rd. It was five days of fun and laughs galore, which Included a pie-eating contest, a 19b0 ' s fashion show, and a slave-for-a-aay auction. Just a little more 14 Laura Inase is the biggest pie eater.

The Sax- ons were honored with a first place trophy for their excellent perform- ance. The Saxons also presented a pop concert in South Bend, Indiana, receiving standing ovations from the audience. 1973 SAXON MARCHING BAND Saxons view Notre Dame University. 1973 CONCERT BAND Saxon Band Took Pride in Perfection The extraordinary 1972-73 Marching Saxon Band had a very exciting and successful year. Their activities ranged from half time shows to numerous parades. The band was led by Drum Majorette. Marilyn Hughes. In their clever halftime shows, the Saxons played popular tunes such as Budweiser and Get It On, which stimulated the crowds to sing along. In the parades the Saxons marched the streets of Rose- mead. Hawthorne, Carmarillo, Torrance, and Magic Mountain exhibiting exhuberent showmanship wherever they went. North hosted the second annual Torrance Marching Band Pageant. This serves as a money making project besides providing good enterainment for the crowded stands. Some members of the band also belong to the Pep Band. These members helped to make North ' s pep rallies and assemblies the best ever. The North High Saxon Band really has said it all!! The lively Saxon Marching Band at an early practice. Marilyn Hughes leads the band. 20 I wonder if I can balance it? Band bops each other heads!

It brought in a record-breaking figure-over $700.00. The Class of 73 proud- ly presented THE IMPOSSIBLE YEARS, written by Bob Fischer and Arthur Marx. The play was an adult comedy , containing many humorous and realistic situations. Being the first of its kind on the North High stage, the play met with high acclaimation and en- joyment by administrators, par- ents, and the student body.

If That ' s Where Its at Baby This years All-School Play was called If That ' s Where It ' s At Baby. I ' m Not Going . It was about a student re- bellion at a small. Mid-Western college, Prescott Ruther- ford University. The leader is Gogo Gibson, a self-centered girl who has secret motives for rebelling. To get more publicity, she drags the founder ' s grandson, Prescott Rutherford III into the revolution. Prescott is a weak individual, who is constantly being pestered by his loving Aunt Maude. Opposed to the rebellion, is Tina Holden. She is in love with Prescott and thinks he is doing the wrong thing. In retaliation, she begins strike-breaking. To surprize everyone. Dean French resigns in favor of Prescott. In- stead of solving the strike, it leads to more turmoil. How- ever, in the end, everything turns out for the better. Gogo is defeated. Tina gets Prescott. and the university is allowed to resume the education of its students.

It was a week filled with tears and happiness, of joy and excite- ment, of fun and games. The Court participated in activities which were sponsored by each class. Monday be- gan with a cold start as the girls tried desperately to melt a block of ice by sitting on it. Viv Munguia was the winner with a hot seat. A peanut pushing contest was next on the list and Lori Leong won by a nose. The 3-legged balloon race was won by Julie Cimarusti and Brandt Humphry.

With Tears, Joy and Excitement The last activity for the week was a hilarious bicycle race. There was also a Mother-Daughter Tea held in honor of the Top 15 during the week. This memorable, fun-filled week commenced with the halftime cer- emonies, where the Queen and Court were crowned by their class ' team captain. They then sat back to enjoy an exciting and victorious basketball game against Torrance High.

As with all cheerleaders, the main aim is to keep the spirit high — but this comes from hard work and continuous practice to perfect rou- tines. During the summer, they attended camp at La Jolla in San Diego, where they won Excellent, Outstanding, and Honorable Mention awards for their competition cheers. Our cheerleaders consisted of seven highly spirited girls led by Cheryl Ehrenstein. Our flag twirlers, led by senior Sherry Jordan, attended camp at Cal Poly and placed 2nd in competition. These 6 girls performed at NHS games and various parades. Sherry Jordan Holly Lum Julie Hueth 28 Ran High New at North t his year were the majorettes and song leaders. Maiorettes Julie Hueth and Wendy Sampson attended camp at Loyola University, where they learned routines for half-time shows and parades. Our song lead- ers, led by Nancy Lubben, performed every Friday along with the cheerleaders. It has been eight years since North has had song leaders. During the summer, these 6 peppy girls attended camp at La Jolla University at San Diego, where they won an Honorable Mention Award and several First Place Awards in the individual compe- titions.

Paint Your Wagon , was far different from those which had been presented in re- cent years. Rather than an original presentation, the music department chose to enact a famous Broadway musical. The musical is one instance during the year when several segments of the Fine Arts are joined. Leads for the play came from both the music and drama classes. The choir served as musical back-up, and general tryouts were held for dancers. The dancers were di- rected by Mrs. Hale, and the music by Mr. Walker. The play was in rehearsal for more than a month, thus assuring a highly successful and polished performance.

Keeping up with the times and getting students interested enough to express their opinions were the first priorities. Thus, the paper devoted up to a whole page for editorials and features covered such controversies as school vandalism, election apthy, rock concert reviews, etc. Saxons were encouraged to express their reactions through Letters to the Editor. This year ' s editor, junior Rene Ter- razas, headed a staff which consisted of many newcomers to the room of journalism-328. Aside from the usual assignments and hectic deadlines, the staff also participated in several press days and field trips.

The result of frantic meetings, it turned out to be one of the most suc- cessful winter formals in years. Held on a wintry Saturday night, the event was a setting of 150 couples amid soft lights, silver stars, and fragrant pine. Music was provided by the 10- piece band, The U.N. , which played popular and original tunes. An exciting moment came when couple Mary Cur- tain and Pete Trevino were announced as the king and queen of the dance. %, ■.

The Student Center was one of the more recent and significant actions made by the 1973 Student Council. Open at almost any time of the school day, the Center offers a place for students to go in their spare moments to enjoy a game of pool, listen to the lastest songs, or even watch television while munching on a favorite snack bought from the vending machines. All the money that the Student Center re- ceived went right back into the room to buy better and more fun facilities. From the outset the Center proved to be successful and popular with students and teach- ers alike. The Center has been instrumental in keeping wandermg students off the quad. Another major prob- lem of littering has been alleviated somewhat by the Student Center. The recreation room proved to be a welcome change in North High life to all students. Since it was initiated in January at the beginning of the semester, it has been the meeting place at snack, lunches and free class time of all different types of people. It was a place where Saxons met to talk, laugh and have a good time. Student Activities Advisor, Miss Montgomery is quite pleased with the efforts of the entire student body in making the Center a success. 36 The television was a leadingattraction.

Also as usual, the faculty team triumphed over the students. Among the stars of the student team were Richard Romero, Earl Hon, Candy Fisher, and Matt Kobe. With some great shooting, the students were within four points of winning in the closing minutes of the game. The faculty had such outstanding players as Mr. Cunerty (dressed in his National Guard uniform), and Buffalo Bob Quarry. Always playing an important part in the game was Mr. Janko, who seemed to have magical powers over his donkey. The Donkey Basketball game was the most important fund raising event of the year for the Junior Class, producing profits of nearly a thousand dollars. The Lone Ranger mounting Silver?

Firdevse Nevzat — Sunny Cyprus at NHS 42 This year, a new and pretty face was seen smiling on campus — that of Firdevse Nevzat, the AFS Foreign Ex- change Student at North High. Firdevse, born in Limassol on the Mediterranean Island of Cyprus, lives there with her parents, 3 sisters and younger brother. Arriving in Torrance, 16-year-old Firdevse was greeted warmly by her American family — Mr. and Mrs. Struckman and their children— Kathy, Bryn, Elyse, Jeff, and pet dach- shund. Tula. Like most other AFS students to NHS, Firdevse enjoyed such activities as Disneyland, Sea World and sunning her- self at local beaches. Firdevse ' s school activities included the French and AFS clubs, serving on Student Council (in Cyprus, students do not have the priviledge of having a student government), and one of her most exciting mo- ments was participating in the Homecoming Ceremonies as the 1972 Honorary Princess. Asked to make any com- ments, Firdevse stated, I like the U.S.A. because the people are so friendly. I also like the boys here. Debate Squad Gains Experience in Argumentation The North High debate squad had a difficult but prof- itable year. It was difficult due to the fact that nearly the entire varsity team graduated last year. It was prof- itable, however, since our many Novice teams gained experience by attending tournaments throughout the year. The year began with a Novice tournament held at North. North also sent teams to two Varsity tournaments. In- vitational tournaments were held at Torrance High, Mira Costa High School, and La Mirada High School. In order to qualify for the State Speech Tournament, one either had to win the U.C.L.A. Tournament, or the San Fernando Valley State University Tournament. This was the first year for Mr. John Reynolds as Debate coach, and he said he was looking forward to more suc- cess in the future. And in conclusion WM BMM A convincing Risa Lozer.

Under the sponsorship of Miss Montgomery and A.S.B. President Edith Bergay. the council worked toward establishing better communica- tions with the student body. Suggestions from the sug- gestion box aided the council m pursuing actions that Sax- ons wanted. Among the councils many activities were the Welcome Back Dance. Homecoming 1972, Basketball Royalty, and student body elections. They also endeavored to improve the appearance of N.H.S. with a new marquee, and shrub- bery and spotlights. Planning the student body budget for the year and conducting a survey for W.A.S.C. (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) were also carried out. Probably one of the most welcome projects of the student council was the establishment of the new student center. Christy Gilstrap goes tinrough the books.

Bid for Bay League Falls Short This year ' s Varsity Football team ' s goal was to repeat as the Bay League champions. The team ' s bid for the title fell short as they tied for second place. North ended up with a three win-two loss record in league and a four win-five loss record overall. Six Saxons gained recognition as being the best m the league by being selected on the 1972 All Bay League Team. Tackle Bob Francis, defensive guard Casey Jaworski. and kicker Wally Leistner made Bay League First Team. Selected to Bay League Second Team were de- fensive back Eddie Marr, running back Ed Bowen, and linebacker Matt Kobe. These six selections were more than any other school had. This year ' s football team was coached by Jim O ' Brien with the assistance of Bill Cunerty, Steve Schmitz, and Rick Francis. A lot of work went into the making of this team and it paid off in the end. Leistner tacks on another three North scrambles for loose ball. Ed Bowen drives on to crucial first down. 51 North ' s defensive squad stops their opponents play for a big loss. Saxons Take Second in Tough Bay League The varsity football team started it ' s sea- son off by facing the aggresive Carson team and suffered a defeat at the hands of the city champs. In the second game, led by quarterback Glen Nakagawa and runnin g back Ed Bowen, the Saxons beat the highly-ranked Bell Eagles 17-13. Run- nig was one of the keys to North ' s vic- tories, sparked by running backs Don Means and Jim Zambarelli. Blocking was provided by guards Gary Netteland and Gary Brown, and center Matt Kobe. The strong defensive team was led by tackle Bob Francis, linebacker Casey Jaworske, defensive back Eddie Marr. North lost to the Burroughs Indians 42-15, but came back the next week to defeat Torrance 27-7. The football season ended with thrilling victories over Centennial 28-0, and rival South High 7-0.

Among some of the outstanding players this season were Dave Co- hen. Joel Anderson. Jim Graves, Mark Toma. and Bill Peters. The team was coached by Mr. Elsten, Mr. Quarry and Mr. Cunerty. This year, the Cee Football team suffered the agony of five defeats out of their nine games played this season. However, the will to fight brought them two victories and one lose in the Bay League competi- tion, thus coming in 2nd place for the league title. Among those players with outstanding accomplish- ments were Kevin Klett, Dan Souza, Jim Charnell, Tom Streit, Bruce Bray, and Rod Swancoat. Mr. Kasten and Mr. L. Brooks were the coaches.

Varsity Wrestlers Place Second in Bay League North ' s young varsity wrestling team was led by super-sophomore Herbie Kaichi (28-6) through a rebuilding year. Herbie won the Pacifica Tourney, took second in the Mira Costa Tourney, third in the Five Counties Tourney, first in the Bay League, first in the C.I.F.

After successfully sweeping the Bay League as a Frosh-Soph team, they hoped to repeat the performance this year. The first tournament of the year for the J.V. ' S was at El Segundo High School. They had high hopes of taking first place. The team also intended to enter the Penninsuala Tournament. The Junior Varsity team was led by Coach William Cunerty. The Saxon offense was powerful to the point of being unstoppable, scoring an average of five runs in each game. The defense too proved formidable, allowing few runs to their opponents. Important con- tributions to the team were made by Ron Blake, Mark Toma, Scot Plye, and Dave Lubben. Larry Kuhn pitches a fast one. Coach Cunerty discusses a new strategy.

Successful Saxon Season The Bee basketball team finished the 1972 season with an overall record of fourteen wins and ten losses. This was good enough to capture another Bay League Title for a Saxon team. The team, mostly composed of sopho- more players, always supplied an exciting game for the spectator. The team was well supplied in both talent and depth. Among the most outstanding players were Bill Atkins, Victor Barbosa. Ron Tomich, and Mark Wellborn. It ' s excellent coaching was supplied by Coach Gross. The Freshman Basketball Team had an overall record of seventeen wins and seven losses at the close of the 1972 season. The team was in contention for the Bay League Title until their record setting starter Bruce Mil- ler missed the last four games of the season due to ill- ness. Other outstanding contributions to the team were made by Steve Trunkett and Dan Souza. Glen Farley led the team in rebounding, and Richard Jew in Scoring.

The relatively inexperienced team proved their skills when they pulled off a sur- prising upset against top-rated South High. The head coach was Mr. Lynn Brooks and working along side him was Mr. Ditter Schultz. Among some of the outstanding Varsity players were Walt Leisner, Mike Tomich, and Paul Lewis. The Junior Varsity was also coached by Mr. Brooks and finished the season in third place. Some of the outstanding members of this team included Earl Hon, Stu- art Mitchell and Randy Lawrence.

Strength, depth, experience, and en- thusiasm were the keys to unlock the potential of this year ' s team. Before deadline, the squad proved this with easy wins over Miraleste, Inglewood, and then crushing a tough Rolling Hills team, 20 ' 2 -7 ' 72. As for the Junior Varsity and Frosh-Soph squads, they continue to emulate their more experienced counterparts in the Varsity with 6 consecutive wins in 6 matches.

NOT SHOWN: Risa Lozer ■ ' V Latin Club Attends Junior Classical League Convention Although their club wasn ' t the largest, nor did they ven- ture into foreign lands for first-hand experiences, the Latin Club did host a few exciting activities which it ' s members were proud of. The new school year began with one of the most festive events in Roman life— the Sat- urnalia. Held on Dec. 13th. this feast of Saturn was one of the greatest of all Roman holidays. In ancient Rome, slaves were set free and given presents, schools were let out. and gambling was legal for everyone. On March 9th and 10th. several Latin Saxons attended the Junior Clas- sical League convention in San Jose. Calif. Here they participated in various academic and athletic competi- tions, besides dining in all the pomp and splendor of old Roman days. Later in the month, they held a banquet celebrating a historical event. Other activities included a celebration of the legendary founding of Rome and a picnic with roast pig. Club members continued their fun into the summer and participated m the national JCL Convention at Claremont College in August. Sponsor Mrs. Ruby Workman is pleased that the activities enabled them to meet Latin students from other schools . A Latin test is not the easiest thing on earth! 81 ' - r.

As the saying goes among some members — Deutsch ist Immer . This year the club began its list of activities with a field trip to the quaint Danish town of Solvang in late October. December was a busy month which started out with an international dinner at sponsor Mrs. Paula Grahamer ' s house. To wish a Frohliche Weihnachten . the club held a Christmas party- breakfast with eggs, sausage, and German coffee cakes. January found the group at the Belgium Waffle House for breakfast. The group hopes to present puppet shows, view a movie at Alpine Village, have a potluck dinner, and carry on with their well-known donut meetings . But perhaps one of the most looked-forward- to activites will be the summer tour of Europe. P- ' A fi iiii m km r German Club. ROW 1: Anne Guest. Dwayne Kumura. Mike Yoshii. Brian Kishiyama.

French Club Plans for European Tour Sponsored by Mrs. Gerry Rische. the French Club enjoyed another year of exciting activities, carried out in the viva la trance way. The list of activities began early m the fall with a club picnic held at Peck Park in San Pedro. Here, members enjoyed the pleasure of friends and a pot- luck lunch after a short car ride or a long, hard bike hike. December found les estudiants de francais ending the ' 72 year with a Christmas party. Other activities included a club banquet at a French restuarant, viewing French flicks, and an ICC Carnival booth for raisingfunds. Probably one of the most exciting moments for several Saxons will be when they board a plane and begin a three-week summer tour of West- ern Europe. This July, Mrs. Rische will be conducting a trip thru the countries of France. England, Italy, Switzerland, and Germany. France will be the real center of the trip with plans to spend several days each in Paris and on the French Riviera. Reading and discussing in French.

Sponsored by Mrs. Joan Korman. who taught oriental literature, this group of Saxons ventured into the mystery of the Far and Near East through various educational and fun-filled field trips to Asian- oriented places of interest.

Aside from encouraging international peace thru understanding, the AFS also sponsored this year ' s foreign exchange student Firdevsa Nevzat. They tried to help her see the USA and understand our culture better. The club also helped our own stu- dents abroad by preparing them for their journeys. Among the activities of this group were numerous potluck dinners held at NHS, SHS, WHS, and THS. Here, Firdevsa described her native Cyprus and former senior Deb Roberson related of her summer in Brazil. Cartoonists Create There was a new club on the North High campus.— The Cartoonist Club. It consisted of sponser. Mr. Michael Bryan and 15 artistic Sax- ons. Although still in the planning stage, the club became involved in activities such as designing the sets for the Faculty Frolics and the publication of a biweekly magazine. This cartoon magazine attempted to promote interest in the fact that cartoons are humorous and are political statements as well as symbols of life. Cartoonists: Mr. Bryan. Maria Toron. Gary Barsley. Bruce Gentles. Janice Sugita. Cindy Trumble. Marilyn Hamilton. Randy Rickabaugti. Roberta Brown. Valerie Takatani. Joan Shelton. Cindy Perez. Vic Ryan Art Club: Creativity Supreme This Year ' s Art Club, under the spon- sorship of Mr. Gary Parton, enjoyed a very busy year. To start off the 1972- 73 year, they held an Arts and Crafts Show, wnich gave the club ' s mem- bers an opportunity to show off their artistic abilities. Another club-spon- sored activity was the Saxon Renais- sance Faire. which was a revival of thegaity and pomp of the 1500 ' s. Field trips which the club took in- volved many excursions to various local sites to sketch and paint. In or- der to raise funds for all theses activ- ities, the members hoped to design and silk-screen posters for sale. As Mr. Parton explained, the club en- abled any interested Saxon to express his creativity through any of the many mediums in artand crafts. (f) -J: Cs K -L — Art Club; Ken Shinnizu. Michele Quiroz.

Members must come up to statewide requirements, involving both grades and citizenship marks. Those who are members for at least four semesters receive a gold tassel at graduation. In order to raise money for activities during the year, the club sponsored a car wash, a pancake breakfast ticket sale, a booth at the I.C.C. carnival, and a tootsie pop sale. The club holds the record for that sale, having rid themselves of 9000 suckers. Scholarship Society is the only club on campus that gets it ' s members out of class for activities. As a Christmas activity, the week before vacation the club visited an art museum, and Farmers Market. Activities planned for later in the year were a picnic, a beach party, a movie, and possibly a two night stay at a lodge in Crestline. I l V. Annie Katata at the L.A. Art Museum.

A Masterpiece of Creative Talents Amid the everyday hassles of writing, drawirig, printing, and general organizing, there was but one goal on the minds of all staff members — to assemble various crea- tive talents into North High ' s literary masterpiece Xanadu. This year, the formation of the Xanadu class helped in the magazine ' s production by eliminating all the little things which usually slowed down the staff. Sponsored by Mrs. Carole Shakely, the club provided an outlet for the creative expressions of the North High students. Not only did the magazine accept poetry and short stories, but also contributions of songs and car- toons. It also served as an exhibit of various artistic talents. Besides the production and sale of Xanadu, the staff engaged in many field trips. These included excursions to the parks for poetry sessions, visits to USC English classes, and sessions in Buddhism and yoga. Xanadu Staff-ROW 1-Michele Robinson, Dons Hensel.

One of the largest, most well- known active clubs on campus was the Drama club. Under the direction of Mr. Gerald Pendrlck. this group of over 85 talented Saxons demonstrated their acting abilities in various plays and musi- cales. Among the activities en- joyed by all were a get-together picnic at a local park in the fall. An all-school play in the spring, a large formal banquet and the ICC Carnival. The Drama Club play was IF THATS WHERE ITS AT. BABY. I ' M NOT GOING. The club had its share of awards and achievements in the form of initiation into the Thespian Society, troupe 1157.

So stated Mr. Joseph Reinhardt, sponsor of one of North ' s three science organizations-the Elements club. This year, the club activities in- cluded individual and group lab- oratory projects and demonstra- tions. Also, this group of students visited industrial chemical plants in the immediate area. The Chemistry Club took on one of the busiest years ever for a science club. Sponsored by Mr. Anthony Gallo, the club provided its mem- bers with a variety of experiences in the lab (somewhat career or- iented for those interested in a physics field), and also worked as a service club to NHS. This year, the group conducted several field trips and listened to guest speakers from industries. They also viewed films available from these industries. Other activ- ities included science projects and reports by students on them, pro- viding assistance for students who were absent, supplementing lab work with special experiments, and investigating into the field of ecology. The annual club banquet was held at the end of the year. ELEMENTS CLUB: Steven Bradley. Alan E, Smith, Charles Gaugh. Craig Hayashlda. Jim Kawagoye.

Sponsored by Mr. Stanley Keller, the Physiology club was one of nine new organiza- tions to take shape this year. Although it was fairly small, this group of students quickly organized and began to seek out places of interest. In November, several members attended a Youth Health Fair and listened to lectures on cancer. Other attended an evolu- tion seminar at Narbonne Baptist Church. Saxons also went to Occi- dental College in December to sit in on several seminar-discussions. The groups hopes to visit a hospital and a scientific research lab in the future. Ye Olde Renaissance Playgoers The merrie ol ' company of the Renais- sance Playgoers was formed for the purpose of providing interested Saxons the opportunities of seeing local the- atrical productions— both professional and amateur — at reasonable prices. In December, they attended a rollicking production of Shakespeare ' s COMEDY OF ERRORS set to contemporary mus- ic. Later they viewed England ' s Royal Shakespeare Company ' s interpretation of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT ' S DREAM, and the seldom-performed THE WIN- TER ' S TALE. The group also enjoyed a banquet based on the Elizabethan Ren- aissance, the annual Renaissance Pleas- ure Faire in Agoura, and participation in the NHS Saxon Faire in the spring.

Nature ' s Best — Ecology Club Sponsored by Mr. Thomas Essex, the Ecology-Backpacking club was com- posed of students who took an in- terest in nature and backpacking and were deeply concerned with the pres- ervation of the vanishing wilder- ness. A majority of the field trips taken by the club concerned the art of back- packing a very healthful and growing pastime. These day-long ex- cursions gave members the oppor- tunity to view nature in a Ist-hand and close-up way. aside from pro- viding a little physical exercise. Trips were taken to the San Gabriel Mtns. and Malibu Canyon. January was carwash time, with hopes of raising enough funds for an over-night backpacking trip. „. FBLA Means Better Business Sponsored by Mr. Ronald Hinders, the Future Business Leaders of A- merica club worked for the develop- ment of competent, aggressive business leaders in today ' s world. They realized the importance and need for qualified individuals In fu- ture businesses. This year, these students visited various industries, offices and cor- porations. They also listened to several guest speakers from dif- ferent areas in business and learned about job opportunities and qualifi- cations needed to secure jobs. Their annual banquet was held at the end of the year. Fun and Teaching Go Together Under the sponsorship of Mr. Ro- bert Hiss, the Future Teachers of America strove to expand its mem- bers ' knowledge of the field of teaching. Among the most enjoy- able ways of learning more about education were the trips taken to various other schools ' facilities. Throughout the year, FTA members also participated in many other ac- tivities which included a Christmas party-breakfast at Norm ' s and a fun-filled trip to Magic Mountain. In order to enjoy these activities, it was necessary to hold candy sales and other fund-raising drives. FTA: ROW 1: Debbie Karp. Elisabeth O ' Neill, Dianna Karp, Ruth Durfey, Melody Motley.

North ' s own NFL chapter made up the bulk of it ' s forensics squad and sent them to various sites to vie against others in state competi- tions. Sponsored by Mr. Reynolds, the NFL and Speech Club— de- signed for any Saxon interested in speech — had a fairly successful and a fun year. Aside from strenuous competi- tions, other activities for these orators included a Christmas party, ICC Carnival booth for raising funds, and an awards ban- quet. Here, recognition was given to Saxons who made exceptional gams in speech. ' Rats!! I feel a counter-plan coming on ROW 1: Wayne Matoba. Robert Ward. Dan Beach, Ray Futterer.
