One-semester courses round-out basic education needs In developing a sales project for a term paper and discussing- it with Mr. Rump, Sandy Streib gets valuable career training. Not all courses at North Central have college en- trance requirements as their objective. The purpose of many subjects is to give pupils a well-rounded edu- cation. Two of these subjects, psychology and soci- ology, provide a better understanding of a man ' s personality and of his place in the world. The health education program consisting of physical education, NDCC, driver ' s education, and health and safety, starts young people toward a sound and safe adult- hood. Some courses, such as selling, expose pupils to situations which will be found in the business world. Experience in working with backstage equipment is part of the benefit gained from enrolling in stage- craft. These elective subjects are available to all pupils, college-bound or not.

Tension mounts and nerves grow tight as anxious actors await their entrance cues in the Jamboree musical, The Music Man. Contour drawing with a continuous line is made easier when Mr. Keyt defines facial planes to his art class by tracing them on Jim Dremonas ' head. BUI T H i iHH Three departments continue coordinating activities to provide North Centralites with a unified approach to the field of Fine Arts. For example while the Music Department was producing Music Man for the Triangle Club ' s Family Jamboree, this year, Thespians and Stage Crew members built sets and arranged special lighting effects for the production. The Art Department, meanwhile, was helping with the decorations and ads. In other projects and activities, many pupils gain experience in music, art, and dramatics. The more deeply interested of these are stimulated by the Junior Scholastic Art Contest, the spring and fall all- school plays, public appearances by choral groups, and by the challenge of debating. Connie Climer, Bob Morgan, and Jon Krahulik portrayed characters in Hai-vey , the fall play.
