A delectable display—Cheryl Ken- nell, Madeline Towns, Kay Stoehr. Safety first in shop work— Dan Burnham, George Wasson. Girls in the domestic arts classes may be pre- paring for a career in dietetics, decorating, textiles, or homemaking. The girls invited parents and teach- ers to a lovely Christmas tea in the pleasant home economics department. If a student is interested in a career in business management or secretarial work, the commercial arts department fulfills his needs. A field trip through local banks and businesses provides the stu- dents with an insight into business life. Last of all comes a vocational department unique at Northeast—at least in the Lincoln school system. Mr. Schmadeke's FFA classes include both vocational and college prep students. The school system makes available a farm on which the boys may raise cattle and crops and gain knowledge and experience. In the shop at school, they learn to re- pair and operate machinery, test soil, study farm management. Students prepare for secretarial jobs—Norma Peterson, Janet Ev- erett, Helen Cook, Jeanette Kiner.

Counselors seek to discover ability. Many planning sessions, many deadlines in senior guidance—Sharon Fisher, Penny Paulson, Mrs. Bowlin. develop personality Guidance—at Northeast students and faculty would find it hard to get along without the guidance counselors. From the tenth through the twelfth year, they take charge of all testing and recording. When a teacher needs information about other phases of a student's school life, he first asks his guidance teacher for information. Guidance also forms an effective liaison between school and home. Guidance classes are devoted to the develop- ment of the individual student. Curricula, vocations, responsibilities, attitudes and aptitudes are dis- cussed, and ways to solve personal problems sought. Health and physical education classes go hand in hand. Participation, sportsmanship, and fitness are the aims of the phys ed program. Health classes try to develop the student's desire and ability to guard his physical welfare. In addition to its academic program, North- east also offers a program of vocational courses. Wood shop, metal shop, drafting, and electricity teach both practical skills and basic principles.
