Homecoming Honors A Historical Past omecoming '85 - NHS enthusi- asts called it one of the longest days of the year. Festivities began long before sunrise at South High. An everlasting tradition inspired students to paint the shack with pride, leaving a master piece to greet dawn. Clothes and skin stained forever, everyone met back at North for last minute touchups and judging of floats. People admired them all and waited in anticipation for the judges' decision. Which creation would be the winner? The caravan moved onward to the stadium in a loud and colorful parade. KICK OFF! The crowd roared for the mighty Vikes. Purple and gold filled the stands. The cheerleaders en- tertained the crowd while the boys worked hard to bring home victory, Halftime came, and the number one band marched on the field, led by that cool cat, Mr. Laforte. Hopeful royalty candidates were introduced and the winning floats were announced. All lis- tened intently. Overjoyment and dis- appointment exploded as Junior Board's float took the blue ribbon. The final score was not what was hoped for, but Norsemen loved their team just the same. The day was halfway over. The Boosters, Pep Club and cheer- leaders turned the gymnasium into a ballroom, while SPEAC gave returning alumni a tour of North High School. There was just enough time left to do some last minute shopping and catch a few ZZZ's. The grand finale, North's Home- coming dance, was the best ever, thanks to the fabulous student body and faculty of NHS. King, Queen and their court were crownedg couples danced the night away. Beautiful young ladies and handsome young gentlemen added the final touch to the whole magnificent sight. The lights went up and dreamers slowly drifted away. Homecoming '85 ' Cherish The Memories.

Confetti is a Viking favorite for celebrating Northls birthday. he past year at North has been full of excellence and spirit. As stu- dents walked through the halls, they displayed smiling, enthusiastic faces. In the pep rallies, there were cheers and spirit filled shouts. The gymnasi- um floor afterwards was littered with confetti and banners that once ex- claimed enthusiasm and pride. Stu- dent's lives were also filled with excite- ment and energy. They attended the homecoming game and participated in all the festivities that preceeded it, like dressing up for spirit week and work- ing late nights to finish the floats. Many Vikings participated and made them- selves a part of the school through such activities as sports, clubs, musi- cals and plays, air bands, pep rallies, and dances.
