| plan to become a..... What did the Class Of ’83 plan to do after they graduated from North? Most seniors replied, “Go to college or work.” But what about their ambitions? They all had one they eventually hoped to attain. So var- ious seniors were asked what they want- ed to be doing in 1988 or 1993. Two North students wished to develop their high-school talents into profitable careers. John Vachaleck, senior, would like to be a law journalist. “I want to be a journalist but you really need a specialty to do anything,” said John. Marvee Marr, senior, was looking forward to a career in advertisement or magazine writing. She also hopes to become a published author. Continuing his photography talents, Brian Kuhlmann, senior, would like to become a SG Looking like a young lawyer, John Vachalek, senior, looks forward to a career as a legal journalist. professional photographer. Putting aside his talent as a photogra- pher, Rob Keeney, senior, was interested in becoming a chemical engineer. “I like chemistry and besides it has a great starting salary,” said Rob. Interested in a medical career, Betty Winkler, senior, would like to become a radiologist. Ursula Waterwiese, senior, would like to be an occupational thera- pist. Betty was also interested in getting married and having a family of two chil- dren. Mark Amrhein, senior, was also in- terested in getting married and starting a professional career. Service to others seemed to be rewarding for one student. Lora Braudis, senior, planned to join the peace corps and go over to the third world and help all the starving people.

Art: a living tradition What gathered critics, artist, and stu- dents for one special event: the Senior Art Portfolio sponsored by the Art De- partment! With a paint brush, a dab of clay, or a pad of paper in hand, students, seniors, set out to create a ‘work of art.” Almost everyone had heard the phrase “all ina day’s work.” Well, ina day’s work about 20 techniques were used over and over again and new talents developed. Student artists may have done much the same projects but originality and person- ality came through. “I continually marvel how they can do these things. It would be so neat if | could do something like that,” said Beth Webster, senior. Suspended in air. That was the feeling one got as they looked at the detail of an exhibit by Patti Merry, senior, in the Senior Portfolio Exhibit. The Senior Art Portfolio focused on those artistically inclined students who wanted to show their talents; after all, there were scholarships to be won. Peggy Koetting, senior, said, “First you get as many pieces done as you can, over eight, then hang them by yourself one day after school and finally enter them for a chance to win a scholarship.” Mr. Thacker, English teacher, wandered around taking down names of each exhib- it. When asked why, he said, “My stu- dents are going to have to write a stor- y impression about each person’s art work.” During commons, students went to their usual place to study (the library) but just didn’t seem to get much done. “You're trying to cram for something and when you get tired and look up, it relaxes you,” said Pam Renshaw, senior.
