ANNUAL STAFF works for improvement 16 Chris R., editor, discusses an upcoming deadline with other staff members including Mary C., Polly P., Jackie S., Deb H., Tom K., Rob S., Carol H., Cheryl W., Mary S., Nancy R., Julie L., Al B., Mr. Nell, Claris H., Arlene C., and Rose J. At right, Julie Lyford and Chris Rollins are giving their views on an annual layout to other staff members. Composed of 15 students, the staff began its year’s activities by holding the yearbook distribution party in late August. A complimentary copy of the 1970 Zephyr was presented to Mrs. Lyford to whom it was dedicated. Annuals were then distributed and refreshments furnished by the staff. Early in the fall, 6 staff members and Mr. Nell attended an annual workshop at Normal, 111. in order to get acquainted with new ideas and procedures for usage in compiling this year’s annual. Following this, the staff’s next concern was to meet the shipment deadlines. Requiring a concentrated effort and some hectic evening hours, layouts and write-ups were prepared. Thus, another volume of the Zephyr was compiled to forever serve as a fond reminder of the 1970-71 school year at N.H.S. At right, Mary and Rob are leaving to sell annual ads to help finance the yearbook.

BAND reaches for musical excellence During the first few weeks of school, Mr. Ben Vitto graciously filled in as band instructor. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Kenneth Leander was welcomed to the faculty as the new band and chorus instructor. Selected to attend last summer’s music camp at Vandercook College of Music in Chicago were Mary Car-ley, Polly Price, and Claris Hepner. During the year, the band was primarily involved in the preparation and pr- sentation of the Christmas, Cabaret, and Spring Concerts in addition to participating in state contest. An exceptional performance earned a superior rating for the band. Solos and ensembles also did quite well at contest with firsts being awarded to approximately sixty percent of those entering. Sponsored by the Band Boosters, the annual band party was held in the spring at which time, awards were presented.
