Karly risers prepare day Visitors To MN have commented on how clean and in what good condition the school is in. However, all credit can not be given to the students and their pride in North alone. At 6:30 a.m. each day the custodians begin arriving and the lights through- out the building go on and a day of cleaning and repairing begins. Through the day, our library tables, walls, windows, fountains and rest- rooms are kept clean and presentable by the hardworking crew.

If foreign language was your main field of inter- est, there was Latin, German, French, and Spanish. The Science Department offered courses from Field Biology to Physics. If you were a math wiz, Calcu- lus, Computers, and Math CPU might have been on your schedule. English offered Humor in Literature, Mass Me- dia, Essay, Advanced Composition, and many more. If you were having trouble in a class, the Title VII aids were there to help. Day Care, Commons, Show Choir, Dixieland Band, Frontier America, Presidency, Literature Semi- nar, Jewlery — the list goes on and on. North even had programs where stu- dents only attended school for half the day. These included Dual Enrollment, Community Outreach, and Communi- ty Learning. For those rare students who found none of these classes satisfy- ing, there were individualized courses called CPU's. At MN, with almost 300 course offerings, it was almost impossi- ble for a student to complain about not being able to find a course to fit his needs. yr Academics Division 197
