I 1 Media Center installs book security system There were many things that gave students the opportunity to expand their abilities to learn about courses that were be- ing taken and explore the various aspects of the careers that were being planned. The counselors, foreign language teachers, and librarians were constantly busy helping students make important decisions concern- ing future needs. The Media Center was a place for students to relax and study. Students had access to any materials in the library that would give them help on research papers or other assignments that were required by teachers. The help and encouragement the librarians offered was not only well ap- preciated by the students, but also rewar- ding for the librarians. A new feature that was noticed by all was the new security system installed in the en- trance, Officially named the Checkpoint MK III Library Security System, it was in- stalled in all Wichita public highschools in- hopes of reducing the number of books that were taken out of the library and the amount of money that was being lost due to loss of the books. I Taking a foreign language gave students the chance to learn about foreign cultures and customs as well as learn how to speak. read and understand the language. By tak- ing a foreign language, students also fulfill- ed requirements for college. There were four languages offered at Northwest, French, German, Latin, and Spanish. According to Mrs. Waggoner, The ma- jor goals of the classes are to increase vocabulary, learn the basics of grammar, and improve speaking abilities. Guest speakers were invited to some of the classes to speak and share facts about the different countries. Along with guest speakers, foreign language classes also held culture days. On these days, the classes prepared food native to the language they were studying. The counselors had many objectives to deal with. Not only did they help students with problems or difficulties that arose, but they were also very active in school life itself. Margaret Hawk spent many hours working with the Honeybears. They also worked with the students figur- ing out schedules for the next year and keeping them informed of when to take the college entrance exams and scholarships that were available. -Missy Knolla 44 ' FL!
