History Current Events Modernize Courses Current events took precedence over other facets of History at NHS, during the 1973-'74 year. More and more teachers worked to develop interest in affairs of world interest. Important happenings were reported on, discussed, and analyzed. The students were made aware of the many historic actions of their own nation. Interest soared when the Watergate affair hit the press, and current event discussion became strong and furious with Mr. Agnew's resignation. Mrs. John Osborne, Seventh-grade Social Studies teacher, said, It's important for people, even the Junior high, to keep abreast of what is hap- pening around us. The world is really small when events half-way across it affect our daily lives. In conjunc- tion with these current events, daily work, maps, films, and other visual aids were used to introduce the people and events of modern history into our own modern world. HISTORY STUDENTS analyze the world. UPPER RIGHT: Miss Patrlcla Rooney directs Llnda Orendor and Kathy Ford In their search for Important locations.

Latin Latin Is Not A Dead Language Mrs. Donna Harrington declared, Many people thlnk that Latln ls a dead language. I feel that It is my lob to reveal just how very much alive It really is. Many alds were used to make the language and customs reallstlc for the students. One of these, Scrabble, has long been a favorite and was well received again this past year. This game required deep thought on the part of the student as well as a good Latln-English diction- ary. Other alds Included collages, films, and workbooks. Thus, Rome-its people, its problems-sprang to Ilfe through translations of Classical literature. Imagination and common sense were stressed in these trans- lations, to make the Roman Empire meaning- ful to students Involved at NHS.
