of course offerings Realizing the relationship of a strong English back- ground to success in other fields, the school offers a variety of essential courses. Underclassmen were en- rolled in courses to strengthen their grammar and vocabulary skills. Many seniors, however, chose to continue their studies of creative writing and literature as preparation for future study. For the first time seniors were offered a combina- tion English literature and composition course. The English Department felt this pilot class included the most important selections and writings. The annual literary booklet, Etchings in Thought, was edited by seniors Maureen Flannery, David Glanz- man, Doug Hale, and Ann Walls. They were aided by other seniors and many underclassmen who read through the contributions from the entire student body. The National Council of Teachers of English pre- sented certificates of commendation to seniors Maureen Flannery and David Glanzman and a runner- up award to Mitch Daniels. These awards were given for literary excellence among high school seniors throughout the nation. North Central was the only Indiana school that boasted more than one winner. AIDED BY THE MODERN CRAIG READER, Anne Wein- stein develops speed and comprehension in the reading lab.
