Family Undergoing Revolutionary Change Industrial Arts Teach Basic Skills The family is undergoing many revolutionary changes. A rapidly in- creasing world population will make housing facilities more compactg an increasing life span means learning to live comfortably and happily many more years after retirement in the Space Age. Long-accepted family values are undergoing many severe tests. These changing values will undoubt- edly emerge in new shapes to fit the family of tomorrow. Today's high school students are the ones who must meet this challenge. Will there be greater family unity or more and more family responsibility being assumed by the state? How well today's family values have been learned will have much effect on this grave question. Industrial arts courses at North Central make a strong contribution toward the objectives for general education. Everyone knows of the rapid developments in science and technology in the past few years. The industrial arts program contributes to an un- derstanding of what these changes are and how they affect living today. liven though the primary emphasis in industrial arts is the contribution toward general education, the teaching of skills cannot be overlooked. People that possess highly technical skills are not unemployed today. Industrial arts courses teach many basic technical skills that will help many students in future years.

Fitness Program Throughout the Kennedy administration physical fitness has been greatly emphasized. North Central's Physical Education Department is cooperating with this program by offering a variety of sports and activi- ties for the students. Early in the school year students participated in taking physical fit- ness tests. These tests measured the students' agility, ability and endur- ance. Students may choose from a variety of sports to obtain their required P.E. credits. Some of these sports include tennis, bowling, golf, swim- ming, tumbling, football, track and Weight lifting. In addition to the regular classes, the Red Feathers and Color Girls marching units, cheerleaders and majorettes add color to the games and promote school spirit throughout the student body of North Central. After-school activities as well as classes are available for students who wish to participate in their favorite sports. ln this way the physical edu- cation department is meeting the challenge of producing a more able- bodied young America, as well as impressing the student with the im- portance of good sportsmanship. According to Plato, physical fitness and mental fitness go hand in hand, making physical education imperative to good education. Miss Charleda Foss, P.E. teacher, demonstrates basketball technique.

Teen-agers Need Well-balanced Meals Cafeteria Personnel Create Nourishing Lunches Creating attractive and nourishing hot lunches at a low price is the task met by the cafeteria personnel. As growing teen-agers need well- balanced meals for good health, the menus are carefully planned. A supplement to the hot-lunch program is the a la cart line or snack bar. The staff includes a manager, two cooks, a baker, a snack-bar manager and a salad maker. Supervising the preparation of hot lunches and dinners for other school activities is the duty of the cafeteria manager. The head cook and her assistant plan the appetizing main dishes that are served. The salad maker creates delicious salads while the baker exhibits her skills by turning out tasty desserts and an assortment of hot rolls. Students help the cafeteria personnel by work- ing as cashiers, dishwasher and milk sellers. Pausing during their busy day are the cafeteria staff.
