IN CLASS A Time to Learn academics-(ak’e dem’)-concerned with general edu- cation, especially classical nad literary studies; fol- lowing fixed rules and traditions; formal; conventional Learning is a process that we began even before we were born. It continues until the day comes when the dirt is thrown onto our coffins. The majority of our learning is performed while attending school. Whether it be cramming, memorizing, reading, experimenting, or communicating we learn from school. The topics to explore are simply endless. The faculty and administration of Northern High School believe that education must help develop the individual's potential to meet and solve problems and to assume responsibilities as a contributing member of a complex changing world. They believe that the school, along with the home, the church, and other community organizations and agencies, is responsible for promoting a program which emphasizes under- standing, learning, inquiry, creativity, and the de- velopment of skills, both mental and physical. They believe our school provides an environment in which the student can become aware of his own abilities and can develop self-confidence and respect for himself and others, regardless of cultural and economic differences. The success of education depends upon the mutual efforts of teachers, administrators, students, parents, and the community. Therefore, all are committed to the task of making school a center of awareness and learning which will prepare students for a continuous life-long education.
