Language Teachers impressed upon Their sTudenTs The nccessiTy of language sTudy as a helpful link in undersTand-ing and communicaTing wiTh foreign cultures. Two language laboratories made the study of French, German, Norse, Spanish, and Latin easier, both students and faculty agreed. Parlez-vous francais, tempus fugit, spreched and snak-ker de norsk were occasionally overheard in the bustling halls between classes. Spanish students found an opportunity to practice speaking with North's own ambassador from Uruguay, Mirtha Haase. MRS. MARGARET KRAMER: German, German dob, English. MRS CAROL JENNINGS: French.

North offered leveral courses to students wishing to add to their knowledge and skill in art. They learned to express themselves through such media at sketching and painting. A program of related arts was given to the sophomores to acquaint them with art, musk and drama. It was made up of three twelve week sessions in each field. After this course, each sophomore Polar could quickly relate the stories of Ven Gogh end his ear, Brahms and his Mlaby, and Shakespeare and his ghosts. I 16 PATRICIA SCHIEYER.

“I (Jvett my man-eating fish doem't care loo much for hoi dogs. DONALD WANDER: Science MATHILDA K RETTING: Botany, Biology, Floral Decorationa. While dissecting in biology labs, picking leaves in botany, or sweeping op broken test tubes in chemistry, teachers at North kept telling us of the importance of science in the world of today. You would be impractical to be unconcerned about it, they repeated. Why, to understand the world of today and that of the future, you must have a knowledge of science. So in all the science courses at North, students would evaluate and re-evaluate their part in science. A general science course was offered containing studies in all aspects of science, but the specialized fields of biology and botany were also available for the confined study of living things. In his senior year, a student had the opportunity to learn the composition and purpose of objects in a chemistry class. “The Future Through Science” ALBERT CHRISTOPHERSON: Biology. Audio-Visual.

A lack of strenuous physical exertion in Polar habits has resulted in a physical education program in which his gym teachers help him to keep fit. They guide him in the understanding and care of his body, coach the many sports that keep him physically alert and allow him to be a gym aide in order to further unfold his skills by helping others to leam. North's physical education department strives to develop the understanding, care and training which the healthy body needs. Who put th bubble gum in my whistle? MARILYN TWINING: Heelfh.

Music Music Department Tunes ’Em up North offers rewarding musical experience to both the talented and the not-so-talented Polar. It takes a combination of hard work, interest, cooperation and a constant effort to develop ability to constitute a desirable music student. Study and performance of both vocal and instrumental music offer the student an emotional experience that cannot be found in academic work, since music is largely a product of the senses rather than of the intellect. Students may find the opportunity for enjoyment and a sense of fulfillment in Polaires, A Choir, Glee Club, A Band or Polar Band. O. RAYMOND CHAMPLIN: PoUlf-• , A Choir, Gl « Club.
