The Students spent a week in the nation ' s capitol, observing the operation of a government in actin. On a smaller scale, five students from North repres- ented the school i n the Close- Up program held in Indianapo- lis. The students Lloyd Chat- ham, Tim Fleck, Paula Har- mon, Jodi Lucas and Lisa Nei- dinger, were able to observe the State ' s government without expending the time or effort neccessary to make the longer trip. In addition to the Close-Up trips, students from North also participated in the Rotary World Affairs Institute in Cin- cinnati and the Mock Indiana Political Convention at Ball State University in Muncie. Jeff Otolski and Chris Sharpnack, both juniors, participated in the Cincinnati Conference and were accompanied by Mr. Lloyd Grimm. The mock con- vention was held May H, and delegates were accompanied by Miss June Uphaus. Seven students were ho- nored this year by the Daugh- ters of the American Revolu- tion (DAR) for outstanding performance in American His- tory. Award winners were, first to seventh place: Chris Sharp- nack, Gary Markwell, Karen Miller, Susan Newkirk, Jeff Otolski, Jim Brewer and Fred Slone.

Math team takes 1st at Franklin On Oct. 24, three students, David Askins, Tim Fleck and Brian Keller, participated in a math contest held at Franklin. As a team, they placed third out of 28 teams. Fleck placed among the top four to 10 indi- viduals. On Nov. 14, 16 stu- dents journeyed to Rose-Hul- Iman Institute in Terre Haute for a contest. Four students were chosen from each class, freshman to senior, and they participated as a team. The sophomores placed third over- all. Cindy Otto placed third individually, and freshman Jeff Holmes placed eighth individu- ally. This was the first year that freshman were invited to par- ticipate in the Annual High School Math Examination. For grades 10-12, Tim Fleck placed highest out of 138 mathmeti- cians; Gary Maxwell placed second; Mike Martin and Glenn Spizak tied for third place. This was also the first year that CNHS participated in the Jun- ior Engineering Society-Test of Engineering Aptitude, Mathe- matics and Science (JETS- TEAM). This contest was cos- ponsored by the science department. Mrs. Paulette Foldenauer was the new aide in the math resource center. The students and the teachers kept her busy. The resource center has a total of 11 Model I TRS-80 compu- ters and four Model III Disk Drive systems.

Awards were given to students who correctly solved many of these problems, among whom were senior David AsUins and junior Gary Mark- well.

The computer courses have had tremendous response, Mrs. Foldenauer said. Mr. Russell Green, head of the math department, com- mented that he feels the teachers in the math depart- ment deserve more credit for their helpfulness and their wil- lingness to accomodate stu- dents. He also said that most of the teachers make them- selves available for help after school. Also, according to Mr. Green, some teachers in other areas leave soon after school, while many of the math teachers stay until at least 4 p.m., sometimes later. This was Mrs. Mary Ann Heise ' s third year for teaching the Probability and Statistics and the Introduction to Calcu- lus classes. She also taught these courses at lUPUI. She also said that the students here are more cooperative be- cause they are full-time stu- dents. They can devote more time. It ' s much better. Many CNHS students re- ceived the Indiana Math Jour- nal this year. In each edition there are several problems to be solved and possibly re-sub- mitted. Junior Ronna Mclntyre submitted a problem and it was published, along with those of Askins and Markwell, who were named Problem Solvers of the Year by the journal for their contributions. jYom a- ■feaular ' kejfaaon , jp ' jpui ei a ul st.jf Z jluf inat atntruj ami -ten anuiCcicU.
