Personal inance classes are required A few years ago business classes at North consisted primarily of students comtemplating an actual career in business. The program has now expanded to include not only office training, but personal business training as well. This new aspect of business education took the form of required Personal Finance classes. Using an interdisciplinary approach, teachers from Business, Math, Social Studies, and Science departments com- bined to present material covering such areas as money management, taxes, and consumer protection. Although more emphasis was given to the personal aspect of business operations , office situation courses were still popular. The Typing, Accounting, Business Law, and Office Simulation courses gave students the opportunity to develop solid office skills and gain a basic knowledge of business procedures. Once these skills were mastered, many students participated in Business Work Experience Programs, receiving valuable on-the-job experience. 4 Gayle Ingerson Louana Lamb MBXHIC Moorehead Ron Sather

Organic Chemistry was offered in response to a suggestion by Nortl1's graduates. This cotuse was offered fall term and provided the students with a useful foundation which would help them in future high school and college science courses. During spring term, North had its first one- semester course in chemistry. Biochemistry was a chemistry class without prerequisites and gave the students another mid-year science option. It covered basic biochemical concepts. 'I , ll Teamwork makes Mike Royal and Andy Hunt's chemistry experiment a little easier.

The evening concluded with the breaking of Pinatas which were made by the Spanish students. Guest speakers often visited classes, explaining the clothing, customs, holi- days and lifestyles of their respective native countries. Occasional sampling of foreign foods offered a welcome break from vocabulary words, conjugation of verbs, and other grammar con- cepts. Filmstrips and slides also gave students a practical view of the language studied and its application. North was fortunate to have four foreign exchange students this year. They were Carine Alboort from Belgium, Vera Acosta and Sara Flores from Costa Rica, and Herbert Esmahan from El Salvador. Ann Conlon studies best in her own private nook. FOREIGN LANGUAGE
