Industrial Training Offered Motors that will not stop but finally do, pictures drawn in perspective, and projects made from wood are only a few of the memories that many North students will always have of their classes in Industrial Arts. By training boys (and sometimes girls) in auto mechanics, mechanical drawing, and wood and metal work, the teachers of this department hope to prepare their students for jobs or advanced study leading to jobs in these areas.

DECA Provides Jobs Working in such places as supermarkets and clothing stores, distribu- tive education students gain a greater insight, through experience, into the business world. Students on the DECA program attend regular classes for half of the day, and then they go to their jobs. In various display cases around the school, DECA students have exhibited the products that they sell. RICHARD BERRY Drake, B.S. —23—

Physical Fitness Stressed Weight lifting, swimming, obstacle courses, modern dances, and elephant balls will be long remembered by all North students, who take physical educa- tion as a required subject. Besides the regular exercise programs and the more common sports, these students are required to take several tests to test their various forms and degrees of physical fitness, both physical and emotional, but, also, to provide training for extra-curricular sports.
