CRAYONS, CARPENTRY, AND CHILD CARE .... Co-Curricular No student escapes NAHS without sampling a few courses in the major disciplines: mathematics, science, English, history and foreign languages. However, North High does boast a wide range of course offerings in other areas. Many students elect art courses which may be taken freshman through senior year. Child care offers the perk of hands-on work in the nursery school or local elementary schools. Drafting, woodworking and auto have healthy enrollments, as does the ever popular foods. Wonderful creations emerge from the painstaking work of those in sewing. A computer class may be taken in any form, ranging from data processing to Pascal. The variety of courses at NAHS contributes to the strong curriculum of which all students take advantage. Jason Kiff plays a request on his Cathy Savard pauses from her sew- guitar ing to smile for the camera. Paul Alix concentrates on his artwork. Greg Brogan preps for his shop class. ‘C’ Is Not Necessarily Average

CASUAL, CHALLENGES, COLLISION . . The popularity of a gym leader can ride upon whether he or she mandates push-ups or sit-ups. These gym leaders, members of the senior class, learn diplomacy as they lead exercises, teach a new skill, or participate in a game with freshmen. The physical education program at North offers a variety of activities for all interests. Gym teachers will admit that the volleyball, pickle ball, floor hockey, and flag football games get fiercely competitive, but students also enjoy independent weight workouts, tennis, wrestling and gymnastic lessons. The students congregate in the gym during winter and early spring, but eagerly head outdoors for the tennis courts, practice fields, or the track for a few laps. Athletics thrive at NAHS, and this can easily be seen by the large percentage of students participating in interscholastic and intramural sports and even enthusiastic involvement in gym. America Johnson trys out the leg and shoulder machine. Steve Smith is a menacing figure in the goalie equipment. Dan McNielly observes Tim Puopo- lo’s blatant show of high sticking. Steve MacDonald pauses mid-work- out to smile for the camera. Jen Dowgiala stretches thoroughly before her field hockey game. 6 “C” Is Not Necessarily Average
