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.

Caring and sharing Why would anyone want to give blood? I would give blood because some little child needs it, said senior Barry Ward. lfl gave blood for somebody else, said soph- omore Debra Larson, then I know there would be blood somewhere for me. junior Anne Leslie added that there are a lot of people who really need that blood. But, others said they were afraid it might hurt or the needles frightened them. The scariest thing about giving blood is not knowing whether it will hurt or not. Mrs. Roberta Moore, a DHO teacher, says that it is only a minimal discomfort and it is worthwhile to most people to make blood available to injured people. There was much preparation that went into the blood drive held here last March. Cooperation from Red Cross volunteers, who did the actual blood drawing, DHO members, Student Government, and Quill and Scroll, who handled publicity, was required to make the drive a success. After the blood was received, it was shipped to 19 northwest Ohio hospitals, whereone pintofblood can help as many as five people. When the drive was over, the students involved in the DHO program were still around to clean up and straighten out the lab. All during the drive, the DHO students were helping the Red Cross volunteers with equipment and welcoming the donors to the area. The drive was a preview ofwhat is to come in a job that a DHO student may get. There are many, many health jobs that are opening up, said Mrs. Helen Kahl, a DHO teacher. Anyone who has health training will be able to get a job after graduation, she stressed. jobs of this na- ture include a dental or nurses' assistant, a physicians' office worker, a lab worker, or helping out in physical therapy. Most of the students do not go on to a nursing or medical school. They usually elect to remain in thejob they were required to have in their senior year, or they switch to another one at the same angle. DHO emphasizesthe helpingand caringaspectof the medical field, accordingto Mrs. Moore, and is good for anyone who wants to care for and share with people. 30 -'4-Av if Demonstrating proper dental techniques on junior Kathy Nicholoson is Mrs. Bobbi Moore. ffmk Q., DHO members not only practice checkups on each other, but they do workbook exercises as well, as junior Lisa Ziegler is doing.
