Beyond The Normal Class Even though it was the first year ever for the Gifted and Talented classes at Northeastern, the procedure that led towards the class started in April. Over a hundred students took a comprehensive test. From this, as were other factors, such as grades, the students were chosen. The class is not a regular book class. Each student was allowed to chose their own field of interest and then do a detailed project. Some of the projects had to do with whales, hemophilia, geneology, and disecting cats. The class was not just projects though, since several students from the class traveled on many occasions to J.C. Sawyers Elementary School where they worked with students, on activities ranging from dance to soccor.

Outstanding Academic Students Work Hard Many academically outstanding stu- dents can be found in Northeastern. Although many of these students ex- cel in traditional academic courses such as English and Biology, many students excel in such courses as: Physics, Calculus, Politics, and Chem- istry. One class that many enjoy, but do very well in is Mr. Dunlow's techni- cal drawing class. The students learn how to draw all types of architectural designs. One of his classes designs their own home, estimates its cost, then builds a small model of it. Northeastern's students do not only excel in the classroom, but outside the classroom too. There were three quiz bowl teams, which later merged into one team that represented Northeastern at a Disctirct level. Eight students also represented Northeastern, but on television. These outstanding students answered ques- tions on their feelings about the school.
