These students were taking part in the annual Skating Party sponsored by the Club Council. From 6:00 to 8:00 that Tuesday night, both teachers and students rolled around the skating rink playing in games and contests.

VT Dr. Whitehead Speaks Dr. Don Whitehead has been coming to Nova High School and helping for three years. In appreciation of this he was presented with a gift QLEFTJ by Steve Williams, David Fraser, Julie Harvey and Don Demsher. In 1974, he was invited to come and lecture at Nova by Peggy Mathis, Gerry Dangl and Steve Williams to educate the students about veneral diseases. Dr. Whitehead commented, I enjoyed lecturing at Nova. I only wish I could have spent more time with each group. Dr. Whitehead talks to 56 classes of Personal Growth a year, each containing 30 students. Dr. Whitehead has good rapport, likes young people, and wants to erase veneral disease from Shasta County. said Mr. Williams. Dr. Whitehead is a humanitarian individual, and Nova was lucky to have him. ! I .. s A Crazy Hats Day Yes, it was indeed a crazy hat day! Susan Grissom QLEFTJ is an example of how most of the hats looked that day. Quite a few people wore all shapes and sizes of hats ranging from a beanie with buttons all over it to a cowboy with everything but the kitchen sink on it. The date of the fun day was January 21st. At the dance that night there was a crazy hat contest. The lucky winner was Blake Hammon with his afro wig- covered baseball hat which featured toy crabs and scorpions and dangling Oreo cookies. Huw Nova Native American Club The Native Anerican Club consisted of 54 Nova Indian students. They met twice a month, having guest speakers at their meetings. Two of these guest speakers were Mr. 8t Mrs. Willard Rhodes of Big Bend. They came on March 11th. Mrs. Rhodes displayed her beadwork, while Mr. Rhodes told Indian stories. The club had four guest speakers, and went on an Orientation Day to U.C. Davis which was sponsored by the Partnership Program at that school. The club also published four newsletters. Milly Elmore, the Native American counselor, said, I feel the Native American club has played an important part in the member's school life. It has given the students a chance to come together and exchange their ideas on School life and their cultural background. I have enjoyed working with the Native American CIub.
