Norcom Education = Academic + Career Study Norcom has pro ven once again that it is Number One. It has done what no other school in the state has attempted. Our school has combined a career [irogram with a regular academic program. And to the sur[)rise of many, it worked! Combining a career program with an academic one is not easy. It takes a special type of student and a s[)ecial tyj)e of teacher. We have been lucky to have both. Students carry the standard academic load con- sisting of English, math, science, and history. With it, they take a career program which is designed to prepare the student for a job as soon as he leaves high school. This program also prepares him for his college major. The teachers who teach the career courses are people who had been or still were specializing in that area. Teachers who taught academic subjects were naturally the best to be found. Both students and teachers requested to be at Norcom: they wanted to be here. This year is over; Norcom has once more made history. Mr. Joe Phibhs, Broadcasting teacher, helped WNHS become a reality. Walter Harrell is as surprised as his friend the frog. 28
