Behind closed doors Some of the most mysterious places at Northview High School include two class- rooms: E-1 and E-6. Not many people knew what went on in these rooms because the doors were usually closed and almost all of the windows were papered over. In the top window of one door hung a stained glass plaque with two words on it: PUB ROOM, the room where The Wyan- dotte and The Student Prints were planned and produced. - Furthermore, not everyone had the chance to work inthe Pub. The first oppor- tunity that some students had to enter this room was takinglournalism I in theirjunior or senior year. In the spring, the following year's newspaper staff was chosen from the lournalism I students. This year, under the direction of co-editors Liz Maxwell and julia Murbach, and with help from Mr. Louis Levy, the adviser, the staff published an award-winning paper every two weeks. The 1981 Wyandotte staff was also chosen in the spring of 1980 from among many junior and sophomore applicants. One of the largest staffs in recent years, 31 students, worked during the summer to sell at least S300 worth of advertising per per- son. They also attended workshops in late August, all held before school started in September. Most of the staff members spent more than one period a day on their work to meet the many deadlines throughout the year. They often stayed after school until the custodian told them to leave. Even though many students did not know what the interior of the Pub looked like, they were able to read the end-products of life behind closed doors - The Student Prints and The Wyandotte. 12 Two heads are better than one when working on a Setting the type 5,19 on the headline machine yearbook layout. juniors Mary Beth Moran and Diane for her Student Prints article I5 Senior Karen Youssef prepare for the first deadline.

Getting a head start Worried about getting a job after gradua- tion? These days people say that a high school education doesn't mean much when getting a job. Une way a student might have insured his future was by participating in one of the vocational training programs at North- view. A variety of vocational classes such as electronics, drafting, machine shop, Diversi- fied Health Occupations and cosmetology were offered. These courses gave the stu- dents a head start in securing good jobs after high school. We are learning jobs to go out in the world with, said senior Errol Smolenski, an electronics student. Electronics is a complex program teaching students the basics of computers, transistors and televisions. With more and more empha- sis being placed on electronics in society, Mr. Thomas Althoff, electronics teacher, said, More students want to know how it all works. Another vocational course that has a great deal to do with technology is machine shop, where the students assemble and repair all types of automotive parts. According to Mr. Rick Thomsen, students who are interested in continuing in automotive repair have a great advantage over those who have had no prior training and can easily get a job in an auto shop. Cosmetology requires the students to take a pre-test to find out their abilities and in- terests. The cosmetology rooms, and also the DHO rooms, are simulations of what they would look like in the real world. ln both courses students learn by practical applica- tion. For example, the Cosmetology students are taught how to cut and style hair. All of these vocational programs help pre- pare students for the future and give them a head start on a job of their choice. 14
