Weekday Night Stalkers Who were those students stalking around on a week night? It could have been several students who went to classes outside of school. Many Seniors at Northeastern took college courses for credit, while still attending high school. Many of these classes required extra hours of study and work to go along with their reg- ular classwork. Northeastern students were taking courses that ranged from computer programming to history to even sailing. Many of the other night stalkers of Northeastern High were out of their homes on Monday nights. They were busy learning on the job. These students were participants of the Ju- nior Achievement program. Each and every Monday night, the members of these two Junior Achievement com- panies worked, produced, and sold a project the members of the company had chose themselves. Through this learning by doing project, the par- ticipants learned about corporations, business's ups and downs, and re- sponsibility. Who said that night stalkers are always up to no good? These particular students are only up to learning! Right: Fxam time comes and the book is pushed aside. For this class the exam took a lot of studing, concentration, praying, and a little luck! Aboi c: Although the major part of the computer course was book work, Jeff Bobrow did get some experience with programming the computers. 26—Academics
