From General Sci- ence courses in the iunior high to Senior High Physics and Advanced Math, Northern has given a well- rounded curriculum. Algebra il, Ill, Plane Geometry, Trigonometry, and Advanced Mathematics as well as Biology, College Chemistry and Physics are available to senior high school students. The iunior high is given Science and ln- structional Mathematics to serve as a basis for academic study in the coming school years. Commercial Math is ence Fair, held in the school gym. Every student in Phys- ics, Chemistry, General and Advanced Science, and Bi- ology must complete a science proiect to be displayed at the lair in early March. Careful planning and much work go into the final drafting of each self-made un- dertaking, whether it be successful or not. Award-win- ning projects are sent to the Harrisburg Area Science Fair for greater competitive judging. Another activity ot the Math and Science Departments is the taking of field trips. These excursions are aimed at first-hand knowledge and understanding. and the Scientific Method LINDA LEE RIPPEL LOUIS SILEO ROBERT WILLIAM WATKINS L-Emp-... 4 ,

MERLE NELSON ECKARD ROSEANN GEFEROFF WILLIAM THOMPSON HOUSE Encouraging Communication and Understanding our fellow man is one of the many problems facing us today, without a basic knowledge of another's attitudes and even more important his lan- guage, the world becomes a constant Turmoil of mis- understanding and incompatibility. It is the hope at Northern High School that the courses offered in Eng- lish and foreign languages have helped to do their part in better understanding those with whom we live. The English Department is quickly becoming a tighter curriculum at Northern. Through a better understanding of our own language and by being able to communi- cate with each other, it is believed that the understand- ing of foreign peoples and powers will be improved. English is a requirement of each student throughout every school year, and four years of major English study is required for graduation. The Foreign Language Department is constantly be- coming broader and more selective. Through the study of a foreign language, customs and traits of those peo- ple whose language is so different from our own are macle familiar to us. Preliminary Spanish is now available to the seventh and eighth grade students, this serves as a basis for a better foundation for the three years of moior Spanish that are now offered. Latin il, Ili, Spanish il, ll, llli, and French CI, Ill give Northern High students a larger scope ofthe world in which we live. Through a comprehension of the fundamentals of English grammar and an appreciation of literature, students at Northern prepare to enioy the cultural aspects of their environment.
