Sagacious Students So what if the National Honor Society is restricted to juniors and seniors with a 3.5 or above scholastic average? Now there are forms of this type of honor group formed at North High for freshmen and sophomores with high grade point averages. Mrs. Mapi Cuevas is the adviser for the F.A.P., Freshman Achievement Program, which began during the 1980-81 school year. Its membership is limited to ninth graders with a 3.5 average at the end of the first grading period. Mrs. Shirley Gebhard and Mr. lack Bovee share the respon- sibility of heading the S.A.P., Sophomore Achievement Program. The same scholastic requirement as that of F.A.P. is required for S.A.P. After each nine-week grading period, those students who fall below a 3.5 grade average are put on probation Seldom is a student dismissed from either honor group, as the members are academically inclined and strive to retain their membership. F.A.P. and S.A.P. participate in many fund raising activities to help finance the field trips taken throughout the year. These trips serve to broaden the students' academic horizons. Membership in these two groups is designed to help college bound students prepare for future high level courses and academic excellence. They are important steps toward the goal of future membership in National Honor Society. JW? 'Q Iamie Black and two assistant mad scientists work diligently in the I.P.S. lab. 86 X Staff- Curriculum

Moonlight Madness Many North students believe that teachers have no life outside of their 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. school day. This is far from true, Although a large portion of their day is tied up in teaching, class preparation, and paper grading, their lives away from North are as varied as those of their students. Money has long been a problem for teachers. On a teacher's salary scale, many find it difficult, if not impossible, to support their families. Moonlighting, the practice of securing another full- time or part-time job after a regular working day, has long been a necessity for many teachers. They clerk in stores, sell real estate, run their own lawn care or landscaping businesses, become bartenders or waitresses, paint houses, lay tile, make commercials, style hair, or work at a multitude of otherfnon-school related positions. Some teachers do use their professional skills to secure addi- tional income by teaching evening classes through the Adult Community School Program, tutoring, coaching, or refereeing and umpiring athletic events. A teacher's education never ceases. Additional degrees or recertification re- quirements keep them returning to the classroom evenings and Saturdays as students. The University of South Florida, Nova University, and Miami International draw the majority of teachers during the regular school years, but in the summer months faculty members attend colleges and univer- sities all over the Country. During their leisure time staff members like to do things that enable them to gain personal satisfaction. Physical activity rates high on their list and may be as vigorous as a 5-mile run, a fast game of handball, or a grueling workout at a local health club. Others may prefer a less strenuous routine and look forward to camping with their family, a few hours of quiet fishing, or a weekend sail upon the sparkling waters of Southwest Florida. As with all adults, the faculty 1 - A good sales pitch by Ms. Charleen Fischer gets her another account. 2 - Mrs. Nancy Ward lets her nature charms catapult her into the landscaping business. 8 I Staff- Curriculum 2 I . .. , -V
