All girls are required to take two credits in some homemaking courses. In addition to sewing and cooking, child development and social relations classes are held. Up to two years in any one subject are available. Most boys are active in shop work. Wood, metal, auto and elec- tronics shops, vocational metal and mechanical drawing are offered to all male students above the ninth grade. The fundamentals of homemaking are essential to every girl who plans to have a home. Boys who are interested in any of the trades find industrial arts courses ver) valuable.

G. Tiemann Department Head Instrumental Ensemble Michael Caldwell Choir Musical Productions Art, Music, PE One of the most basic desires of man is to express himself. The basic training the student gains in high school in the subjects of art and music are the key to his artistic expression. North Central offers courses in basic art, lettering, drawing, archi- tecture, painting and senior studio. All these subjects are directed at the development of artistic ability. The Art Department directed all publicity of the school ' s activities and arranged special decorations for seasonal events. All props for stage productions were created in the art labs, as were all materials for pep cons. The Physical Education Department bases its curriculum on the idea that a healthy mind functions best in a healthy body. Under the inlluence of the late President ' s physical fitness program, the curricu- lum was expanded and diversified. Most freshmen are enrolled in daily PE and many specialized activities are scheduled outside the school, also. Our choral and band groups have consistently won top ratings in competition. The choir, glee clubs, ensembles and the marching, dance, stage and pep bands contribute much to the creative side of North Central. Daisy Chapman Art Club Assistant Basic Art From left to right. A.

Chess Club Freshman Math Mathematics, Science Developing logical patterns of thought through training in mathe- matics and scientific principles was the basic objec t of mathematics and science instruction. The mathematical principles that were given to students helped to prepare them For practical occupations in many fields other than math and science teaching. Courses in both mathematics and science are offered on a four- year basis to all students. Freshman algebra, geometry, intermediate mathematics and advanced math are the basic courses, and are sup- plemented by the SMSG geometry and senior math, which is given to those seniors who desire instruction in more elementary pro- cedures. In the Science Department, care is given to see that each student has at least one year of a laboratory science. Physical science, biology (both BSCS and traditional), chemistry and physics are offered to students. It is hoped that the knowledge they gain through these studies will help them to ask and answer the questions that are instrumental in the advance of our society. The marvels of the sciences and their fundamentals fascinate students of chemistr Saruwatari and George Cannata work with balance scales in chemistry class. 14
