CCyJ Robinson is a man with high motivation. Though Woodworking is a major hobby of his, summer activi- ties and adventures find him en- joying gardening, golfing, and Robinson's admiration ex- tends to respecting Lee Iacocca and Chuck Yaeger. Inspiring him to become a coach and physical education teacher were his high school football coach and his col- lege professors.

Energetic and full of vigor he was ready to conquer any sport thrown his way. Double-lapping his classmates all period long he felt like a man of steel. 8:00 a.m. Ready for his next feat of endurance, Joe felt the rhythm for slammin' the rims. Feeling cool and competitive, his precision lay-ups and free throws put the rest of the class to shame. 9:00 a.m. While others complained of the cold, Joe felt relieved by the cool air of the outdoors. Inspite of the foot of mud on the flickerball field, Joe lead the pack in proving his throwing skills. On 'Physical Education to defeat Jane Fonda in 4th hour! 10:00 a.m. Strained to the music of leg lifts and Toe touches, he began to feel the effects of his earlier efforts. Maybe a full schedule of gym was not so easy. Thoughts of history and math became apparent as no physical endurance could control him there. 11:00 a.m. Hyped down from his early time spasm, he headed down to the volleyball nets. Overwhelmed by exhaust and ready to just fall over, he layed down under the net and acted like the referee. Such enthusiasm would never be seen until he fueled up on Cheerios. 12:00 p.m. LUNCH TIME! Headed through the lunch line, thoughts of being fueled up were brought down. Visions of eating school lunch just might make him collapse. Luckily Cheerios were seen on trays that passes by his eyes. After fueling he headed back to continue his schedule. 12:25 p.m. Ping-pong mastered at a skill of perfection showed determination as Joe outlasted everyone and proved his competiveness. 2:25 p.m. Outdoor one more time before heading home! Joe seemed, again more energetic. Homeruns and base hits proved that indeed he was a true baseball fanatic. Yes, the time of being physically fit is here. Much determination and time required and special planning should be considered!

Training life skill Vocational School was an excellent program because it trained the students for the real world, said senior Tami Baenziger. The program at the Vocational Center provided extentional help in auto mechanics, welding, printing, electron- ics, model office, and health and child care occupations. Sophomore Jeff Porter commented, I liked it a lot and it was very helpful. For three hours daily, students attended the Vocational School. The most popular course during the year was auto mechanics because most of the students had their own cars and wanted to save money as well as have a promising future. Also taken by many students was child care and health occupations in all grades. I think health occupations and child care courses are good ideas for males and females because nothing is limited anymore to race or sex, replied non-vocational student Cindy Crossen. Because of the high quality of training and the rewards in the end, senior Matt Collins liked the center.

N Z' Acti e in Cit Involved in community pro- jects and a member of the Missis- sippi Valley Rotary Club, Princi- pal of the Vocational Center, Keith Mattke busies himself with church and civic activities. Other than manning the ship at the Vocational Center, Mattke finds leisure time for woodworking and repairing. When he was in college he became interested in vocational training programs and decided to help young people figure out and learn the skills to be what they wanted to be. Mattke admires people who are honest and professional in daily living activities. I think North has a lot of school spirit and should provide excellent educational opportuni- ties for young people. glfilm C' fy, x ,Gi 'flrqgmg Keith Mattke X - Vocational Education
