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.

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 .
