Mr. Dunn shows the Home Ee. Ciass how to do it the wok way. A lot of people think that teachers can only do one thing, and that's teach. Usually all we expect them to do is to assign homework every night and tof'gitieg?..impossible testsggsifhe Home Economics class knows differ' ently. This year the Home Ec. ciass invit- ed some teachers to come and pre- pare their specialities for them to try. Some ofthe students may have thoughtlsthat. this was a wayforg the teachers to get back at their unfavor- ite students, but they were proved wrong. The class turned out to be enjoyabie for both the students and for the chef for a day teachers. Some interesting recipies were dis- covered along with the singleteach- ers' secrets for entertaining a date. This new experience proved to be fun, educational and tasty.

Of course we can't forget the mathematics, which includes our favorites - Algebra, Pre-Calc., Calc., Trig. and Stats. Those devious word problems that just can't seem to get your attention are gladly pushed aside until who-knows-when. And those scheming deviations in Calcu- lus. Sure, we learned them all through the Senior year, but when May came around did we know them? Of course not! But procrastination isn't the only disease around concerning school study habits. During the end of your four years here at North, something peculiar was noticed among the Sen- iors more so than the underclass- men.
