During the first year a general working vocabulary, conjugation of verbs, and a study of verb tenses acquaint the students with the language. Second year classes begin where the first year classes ended, and more verbs, additional tenses, and trans- lations from a French reader are studied. Activities of the French classes are interesting and varied. They include correspondence with lan- guage students in both French and American schools. Thus the students not only learn a new language, but also gain international friends as well. Joan Wade translates.

VK hen you get to Earth ask to see their leader - Spanish students learn correct pronunciation in the language lab. Our southern neighbor is the continent ofthe Spanish language. The Spanish established colonies in the early sixteenth century and these settlements still show the influence of the home land, Spain. The study of this gay and colorful language has double purpose, not only do the students learn how to speak the language of our friends, but also broaden their outlook of the world around us. The study of Spanish at NLRHS is divided into two partsg first year and second year students learn tense and conjugation of verbs, pronouns, subjects, objects, and reflexives. Spanish contains many of the pitfalls in under- standing and usage as our English language does. These problems help a Spanish student become abetter English Student. A gaily decorated room awaits every class along with a Spanish speaking penpal. The practice in trans- lating these letters is fun as well as stimulating and educational. Spanish holidays are celebratedwith dances, songs and stories. Oral book reports are given in Spanish and classes are also conducted in Spanish. All this is to create a world-wide interest in our neighbors. Spanish students on Wildcat Hill are equipped with not only a knowledge of the Spanish language but a better understanding of the lands and the customs of other countries. MRS.

Every graduating senior leaves NLRHS with a complete history of his final year. The two publi- cations which make this a reality are the Hi Comet and the Wildcat. The Hi Comet is the six to eight page news- paper published entirely by the students on a bi- weekly basis. This publication records all activities and events connected with the student of the High School by means of reliable staff writers. The network of jobs required to turn out the Hi Comet include ad salesmen, cartoonists, news editors, photographers, a sports editor, staff writers, a make-up editor and many others. The Hi Comet is an expensive project requiring somewhere near 82,000 to finance it. The Wildcat is the annual which captures in word and picture form the entire year at NLRHS. lt includes special clubs, departments and subjects under them, plus pictures of the teachers and students. To finance this album, 52,550 or more in ad- vertisement is necessary. Mounting pictures, writing body copy, and organizing sections arejust a few of the jobs behind the Wildcat. This book is always dedicated to a person, place, or spirit of outstanding value to our school. Then a theme is selected and reflected throughout the book.
