Allhough everyone needn't be an expert at Beef Slroganoff, a basic knowledge of cooking and sewing remain part of the wife-and-mother role which will eventually be assumed by most girls. North's home economics courses provide these girls with a chance to develop their skills and learn new ones in preparation for whatever responsibilities they may later face. Home and Family Living offers special training in the efficient management of a home. All courses give the student the opportunity to become better prepared for her role as a woman.

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.

Many seniors also took advantage of the work program. In this program, students attended three hours of school in the morning and worked in the afternoon. The work program gave on-the-job training and opportunities to continue full-time work after graduation. A similar sophomore work program was initiated this year. This year North also had a shorthand lab installed. The lab which contains electronic equipment to make the task of learning shorthand easier for students and teachers both was the first of its kind in the city.
