Putting it back together Everybody knows that commons can get a little rough sometimes, and in the process a chair could be broken. The damaged chair seems to disappear magically and then reappears later. But where did it go, and how did it get fixed? Unless the chair is completely wrecked and goes into the trash, it generally ends up in the machine shop, where students weld it back together and tote it back to commons. However, that's not all the juniors and seniors in machine shop do. They also do maintenance work for the school and repair machines for the com- munity. Paperwork is also involved in the class. A student must have taken trigo- nometry to be in the class, according to Mr. Kay Dauterman, a shop teacher, because the math knowledge is applied as he works with the machines. The machine shop students seemed to agree that they liked working in the shop. l took machine shop because it's a good profession to go into, and l like to learn, said junior Steve Yeager, one of the 18 persons in the class. What they learn can be applied directly to a job. Most students get jobs immediately after high school. Usually it is in a machine shop or attending a tool crib, or as a tool and dye maker. A few continue on to college, and some two-year colleges offer an associate degree with a major on machine shop. Thanks to the machine shop, many broken things in the school get fixed, and there are still usable chairs in commons. If Z , Q rf? gif, fy 1 Working with a drill is junior Grant Temple.

It's a foreign affair Bonjour! Hola! Guten Tag! are some off the expressions of greeting one might re- ceive from a foreign language student while walking down the hall on the way to class. Foreign language is growing in popularity at Northview. According to Mrs. Linda Zabor, French teacher, foreign language en- rollment has almost doubled since 1977 when she first came to this school. She be- lieves this sudden growth of interest is a result of the strict requirements set down by colleges and universities across the country. Many of these schools are now requesting that students have some kind of foreign lan- guage background, and if students cannot meet these requirements they must add one or two classes to their college schedule. Northview has tried to prepare students for these demands by offering a variety of foreign languages, including French, Span- ish, Latin and German. Some of these courses go up to the fifth year. Dr. Donna Sutton, Spanish teacher, feels students should take as many years of fore- ign language as possible in high school be- cause, Learning a different language is a very rewarding thing and a second language can always benefit one in the future.
