North Little Rock High School - Wildcat Yearbook (North Little Rock, AR)

Page 27 text:

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.

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.

But this just doesn't look like Arkansas, remarks Jo Lee Rotten to Pat Gregory and Andy Prince as they diligently study World Geography. Man is chiefly interested in himself and his surroundings, and history and geography are the records and text of his achievements. The student of world history, not only looks into the events of civilization as far back as the records permit, but he also realizes the history he reads in today's headlines or sees through the medium of television and the news film. Through world geography the student learns the relationship between man and the climate and the soil. Every phase in man's life is the result of the climate and the natural terrain of his home. The forces of nature are strong and control to a large degree the clothes he wears, the food he eats, his occupation, the structure and material of his shelter, and his physical features. Even in this day of great science we are still mastered by nature, and through courses such as world geography the student can understand this. And this is what I learned in my Advanced Alphabet class, says Carolyn Stout as she displays one of her World History class projects.
