Valhalla Staff Aims To Inform Students No different from staffs m ttie past, ttiis year ' s Valhalla staff was confronted witfi ttie usual responsibil- ities and conflicts any newspaper staff encounters througtiout the year; but for the 85-86 group, these problems were heightened by the fact that there were only two returning staff members and of these, only one was a senior. However, this year ' s Northview newspaper staff showed to everyone that in spite of their inexperience, they could meet their responsibilities, which consisted not only of hnding the news, but also reporting and displaying it to the students. Sounds easy enough, right ' But to advisor, Ms. Glenda Sweger and co-Editors, Rose Danfifer and Tonya Herrick, nothing could be further from the truth. For an hour each day, not to mention after school and lunch break overtimes, they guided their new members and taught them not only of headline style, page design and writing technique, but of deadlines. Sometimes they ' re rough, but they have to be met, says first year staff member Don Johnston of deadlines, and the other mem- bers seemed to feel the same. In the end, however, they pulled together and made it a great year. Advisor Glenda Sweger summed it up by saying, Despite the inexperi- ence, the staff did an outstanding |ob of working togeth- er and getting the paper out on time. As the year progressed, there was a great deal of improvement. Hk ' - ; studying her paste-up, Nancy Lucero makes a few minor changes.

Smooth Sailing For English Department English. Our native tongue. Most of us young adults fail to speak it properly, and that is why we have an indispensable group of individuals known simply as Eng- lish teachers. These individuals, in general, attempt to teach us, the students, to speak our language adequate- ly. In the process of doing so, they must also introduce to us exciting things, such as subordinate clauses, and other fun stuff. Now, on top of all that, our English staff must also make the process of learning worthwhile and interesting. For one to do that is an amazing feat, and it makes him an exceptional teacher, and he should be commended. It is not surprising that all the members of the Northview English Department are worthy of commendation. English for all college bound students is a necessity, not only for graduation, but for college admissions, also. University of California schools announced early this year that for students to even be considered, they must have at least four years of English, although the require- ment for high school graduation is three years. One of the English Department ' s mam goals this year was to aid the Senior Class in preparing for the SAT and ACT, college entrance exams, by reviewing material contained within the tests. For example, synonyms, antonyms, analogies, and sentence structure were some of the areas which needed reviewing. Another important exam reviewed by the English Department was the CAP test. The results of this test are compared with other high schools throughout the state. Mrs. Eberhardt and Matt Hunkins laugti about a major mistake in liis paper.
