It was a work study l. :iii program that dealt with technical and Q manual positions. Students in Co-op spent half of their day in school and the rest of the sig day working at their job. Some were in- volved in business, restaurant and voca- Egtional work. The Co-op student had an English and Social Studies course every ixzmorning before leaving for his job. The E t 'iaverage Co-op student was not college E 'lbound but usually remained with his same job out of school, or anotherjob closely rel- .ated to his interest. .5 at t i 5.

Its biggest achievement this year was the institution of the Peer Coun- - seling Program. Some students from North ' ii Hills who attended a twelve-week training gt ' i i' program counseled other students in l ' Q Besides the relocation of the Morrone .1 Building counselors to the rotunda, a new ' Hiaiiiijyiiiki' College Tour Program was offered to the .luniors and Seniors. The Department was also involved with testing and helping stu- dents with personal problems. Distributive Education, taught by Mrs. Cooke, dealt mainly with marketing, selling, advertising, dis- play, merchandis- ing and sales. Stu- dents in Distribu- tive Ed. attended school daily, and half-way through their day left to deal with business opportunities. Distributive Education stu- dents had an exceptional opportunity generally denied the regular student. They were able to test daily the instruction they received in the classroom situation. Also, an extra added benefit was that the students received pay for the work they did. Mrs. Cooke .4 Q if 3 6 My 5 .. 1. fl- iv- f- - ,.,, 1 ' Wi fi- 'K t. If I ,. 1-mf .1 ,,:.i5:ii'ii5:ii f .

Mrs. Mansfield and the committee made the decisions concerning the fund-raising pro- jects by school clubs. The athletic department, headed by Mr. Ceh, improved sports competition in the past year. Some changes included a limited unification between girls' and boys' sports. ln the instances of both track and golf the boys' and girls' teams were combined under one coach. Mrs. Black MF- BFOWH Mr. Herchenroether MF- Langer There were many art courses available to North Hills High students. The courses were Crafts l and Advanced Crafts, Ceramics l and ll, Studio Art, Senior Studio, Film Making, and Jewelry. These courses gave the students chances to draw, paint, sculpture and design new things. The Art Department was not involved in classroom work only, but enjoyed entering talented students' work in contests. Win- ning students often received cash prizes and scholarships. Two of the tournaments the department engaged in this year were those at Lake Erie College and the Scholastic Controls Gate Contest. 10 me 'wh-,P QQ Mr Gardrll Miss Segal The A V Department handled the audio vlsual equipment for the entire North Hills School District. lt reached into the classrooms through teachers coordinators and principals. Mr. Gardill, the A. V. Director, hoped to stimulate student interest in the A. V. Department through the use ofa new radio console and video tape program. State funds were awarded which aided the expan- sion of this program. Miss Segal was the liaison between Beat- tie Tech and NH. She counseled the stu- dents at NH who were involved with Beattie Tech. 5 'Et M its . , fr X 's Miss Armstrong Mrs. Banyas Mrs. Bradley Mrs. Cannin Mrs. Fratangelo Miss Gebharglt Miss Huber Mr. Pattini Mrs. Richey Mr. Thiel There's something for everyone, stated Miss Armstrong, the Business Coordinator, as she spoke of business course offerings. Personal Shorthand, Personal Typing, Per- sonal Law, Record Keeping and Explorato- ry courses, recently opened to Juniors and Seniors, were some of the business classes offered. Of the new additions to the curriculum, Contracts, Data Processing, and Money Credit Management, which taught students how to use credit cards, and how to balance a budget, excited them the most. One of the Business Department's vital functions was as a placement center. With . , 4, 'r iii' Juniors wentto re- business skills learned at North Hills, many students received jobs at some of the large corporations in the city of Pittsburgh. A civil service test was given this spring which included typing and steno skills. ,Z The Career ' . , ' Resource Center, jj XZV, located in the , Senior High build- ing, was the place '-fi i w h e e f r a n t 1 c A i- .-.i y aiff if S e n 1 o r s a n d ceive help in dis- c o v e r i n g a n d developing their post-graduate plans. Under the direction of Mrs. Mountan, students developed career awareness and self-assessment. The center, with its vast resource material on colleges and careers was well-known throughout the Pittsburgh area. Mrs. Mountan helped the four to five hundred students who used the center each month, conducted seminars for the GATE program, and worked with the teachers in classroom situations. 51:12, I Mrs. Mountan i Q. if 5 l iff 1' E 3 51.

Three years had passed since the introduction of English electives and new courses were added to the over thirty-Eve selections already available. Additions this year included Advanced Composition, English Literature I and II, and Language Skills for College. These new and innovative courses had proved to be an expression of the flexibility of faculty and student interests. Some already established English elec- tives that aroused student participation were, Inside the Mind, Science Fiction, Search for Identity, Realm of Mystery, and Contemporary Literature. Dr. Brozick and the English faculty plan an even wider selection of courses in the future as North Hills students require broader exeriences.

It also tried to integr- ate boys into the program and succeeded in this goal. Changes included the development of new teaching methods and evaluations, and a new updated curriculum. In 76-77, the foods and nutrition curriculum was revised offering three semesters opposed to two. Advanced clothing and Needlework stu- dents were encouraged to enter contests by local Womens' Clubs. Home Ee. teachers were involved in local, state, and national Home Ec. associ ations.
