Some of these clubs are the Art Club. Psychology Club, Enterprisers and the L.aw Club (or Future Lawyers of America). Starting in March of this year, the members of the Art Club began to paint murals on the walls of the building. The members had to gain the approval of Dr. Harrison who reviews the pieces before they arc drawn. The members not only come up with the ideas and drawings, but also work one day a week after school, using overhead projectors to cast im- ages on the walls. Some of these murals are Ernest Heming- way, the Blazer logo, a drum set and a dragon which looks like an overgrown caterpillar. North also has a Psychology Club in which students discuss various issues and problems relating to adolescence. This club may prove helpful to underclassmen who have the chance to discuss some of their worries or concerns about a particular subject. One member said, “The Psychology Club is a great opportunity to hear other people’s points of view and learn about yourself.” This year at North there was an increased interest in career planning explaining why two career clubs. Enterprisers and the l.aw Club, attained a popularity plateau higher than ever before. The Enterprisers purpose is to do professional typing of research papers and documents for students, teachers and members of the community. There is a charge for these services which goes toward purchasing equipment for students who use the facilities of the Business Department. The Law' Club is for students interested in any and all forms of law prac- tice. Its main purpose is to participate in the New York annual statewide mock trial tournament, held in Mineola. These two clubs represent the emphasis put on planning for the future. Law Club: (If to rt) Mike Kur rok. Lisa Rosenberg, David Kaufman. Jessica Rosenbaum. Lisa Peirocelli. Liza Jarolem.

Peer Counseling To say the least, entering high school can be con- fusing and even frightening. Understanding these feelings, the guidance counselors of Great Neck High tried to find a solution to the situation. Six years ago the North Guidance staff implemented the peer counseling project. The idea behind the introduction of peer coun- selors was that the incoming 9th graders would be able to better relate to students closer to their own age than to adults. The peer counselors are chosen as “students who are sensitive, compassionate, and good listeners.” They undergo three full days of training in the spring of their junior year. Each peer leader met w ith other peer leaders and a group of 9th graders approximately every other week and discussed how the f reshmen were relating to their new surroundings aiuUeachers. Most of the incoming 9th graders fit right in, and for them, the meetings were only one more reassurance of how they would fit in. But for some, the meetings may have made the difference. It is difficult to evaluate the success of the peer counselors, because students related to the meet- ings in their own ways ranging from the relief of missing a day of English, to reassurance given f rom the group. But as a w hole, the 198b peer counseling group performed exceedingly well. Academics
