Tumbling Sophomores wander aimlessly, looking for a partner. Weight lifting marked a major transition in physical education at Northtown this year. The new machine, located in the equipment gym, was a defi- nite aid to extra-curricular athletic programs, as well as a beneficial conditioning agent for physical education students. Students took traditional field trips to Macken Park to play softball, football and field hockey. During warm weather, the tennis courts were also busy as students attempted to acquire the skills and coordination involved in playing tennis. Gymnastics and square dancing continued in popularity. Volleyball and basketball provided stu- dents with indoor recreation for the long winter months. Physical education encouraged healthy activity and competition. Team sports taught cooperation, an important element in a student's future life. In- dividual sports were instrumental in providing participants with vital self-control. 'WV

Mini courses reflect versatility 7 Mini courses, Northtown's favorite transition, were held two weeks during the 19714972 school year. The week of December 6 marked the first res- pite in customary school routine. Over one hundred students attended Merle Walker's transcendental meditation class while another hundred practiced the art of candlemaking. The second mini course session, March 13-17, found several students climbing the walls of Northtown in mountain climbing class. Macrame belts were turned out at an incredible pace and muscles stiffened up in gymnastics. Wonderful aromas floated from the home economics room where the boys' cooking class prepared all kinds of food. Mini courses provided another opportunity for vari- ety in student's lives at Northtown. 1. Dan Flanagan attempts to climb the walls. 2.
