2 We, of the ”59 Vespa Staff, have worked hard to make this a book which will bring back many happy memories. The satisfaction of knowing that we have done our best in producing this Vespa is all the compensation needed for the long hours of work. The theme we have chosen, PATHS, shows some of the many roads to successful careers. We hope that not only at the present but in the years to come this book will be a treasured keepsake and that it will recall many happy occasions. You, the students of NACHS made it; you lived it. Here it is - the 1959 Vespa.

Sciettce fr zcted t£e eomy Students learn the basic facts of natural sciences under the observance of Allen Free. In the freshman general science class, the foundation is laid for all other science courses. The biology class collects, studies, and explains facts about plant and animal life. Culture, knowledge about geometric figures, and a clear way of thinking are brought about in the geometry class. All facts concerning matter and motion were analyzed in the first and second year physics classes. A half day trip was taken by all the science classes to the Radar Station near Belleville. This was a first-hand experience concerning the use of radar. 4 s4 uitat front Mn education The mathematics department gives the students opportunities to learn new ways of solving difficult problems. In the first course of algebra, the pupils were taught to find the unknown by using letters and symbols in place of numbers. Mr. Schriner's conducive instructions in the The advanced math students seem to be very interested in their work. ..Mr. Schriner, one of your students has a question... Don D. Schriner, B. of Ed; M.S... It seems as if Mike Goodall suddenly knows the answer to study of advanced algebra prepared each student for further education. In addition to the two algebra classes, Mr. Schriner taught practical math. The math class learned certain mathematical processes with which each individual was able to solve all types of exercises. an advanced math question... Mr. Schriner uses proverbs and sayings to explain a phase of math... Everyone seems to be enjoying the math class discussion.

Freshman students prepare the next day's lesson. fan co unuttccatoM, Everyone must familiarize himself with many words, their meanings and use so that we may express ourselves correctly. Mrs. Gladys Stookey has helped us build up our speaking and writing vocabulary. Students were taught to become better speakers by giving reports and talks before their groups. Correct language habits were acquired by regular quizzes on language usage and spelling words. A full term was devoted to college preparatory English for those students who plan to go to college. The class work emphasized composition and speech work. In addition, they read and evaluated more GLADYS STOOKEY, B.A. advanced literature. £fty£i s£ — tece 6antf. 16 7 ttwex-eKcUciy frat World and United States history students acquire knowledge of the long and repetitious path of history. They learn to understand and appreciate the events of time and how these events have slowly shaped the present and will eventually determine the future. Besides teaching history, Mrs. Oelrich teaches modern literature, English II, and German II. The literature and English classes study short stories, plays, poems, novels, and write essays on various subjects. The second year German students learn to read and translate German to English and English to German. For extra credit the students gave reports on subjects relating to Germany. DOROTHY OELRICH, B. A.

Throughout the high school days each girl looks forward to her senior year at which time she plans her imaginary wedding. In addition, courses in dinnerware, silverware, glassware, child care, home furnishings, and sewing were taught. Numerous films relating to class subjects were enjoyed by all. In supplement, Mrs. Helen Pruett, home cooking demonstrator, demonstrated party foods and discussed the needed amount of calories and vitamins in daily lives. Another visitor to the home ec department this year was Mrs. Copen -barger, state home advisor. Mrs. Helen Pruett demonstrated party foods to the home ec classes...

Although few people realize the need and importance of agriculture, it is considered the first step in a successful industry. Under Mr. Taylor's guidance, the students learn to plan ahead in order to make their lives successful. Throughout the year, the ag students worked on various metal and wood projects, which were completed and graded at the end of the school year. The biology class, under the direction of Mr. Taylor, discussed the early life on earth, the processes of multiplication in plants and animals, and ways of improving plant and animal life. The class also enjoyed numerous field trips in and around the vicinity. s4tHetuc ’ e44e ttccU eteecC Look at that little frog jump! exclaims Louie Emge, 3rd hour biology student. ..Cleaning up after a hard 40 minutes work are the ag students... Freshman ag students keep their record books up-to-date... Let's get these boards on right, says James Kirchhoefer to Dennis Schatte and Gene Beggs... The members of the afternoon ag class work to keep their notebooks in order. In addition to instructing, training, and directing the baseball and basketball boys, Varsity Coach Bob Leigh also taught the physical education and health classes. The students in health class studied the construction and functions of the human body, developed their personalities, and learned to solve and understand teenage problems. The physical education boys concentrated their efforts on developing physical fitness and good mental habits. Some of the year's activities included speedball, bowling, volleyball and badminton. A new trampoline and horizontal bar were provided to supplement the various pieces of indoor equipment. Robert D. Leigh, B.S.; M.

At the beginning of the year, tests were given to find defects in posture and attempts were made to have the faults corrected by the end of the year. The new trampoline and field hockey equipment added to the enjoyment of the classes. Each class chose teams for speedball, basketball, field hockey and many other sports. After a series of games, the losers had to treat the winners during a class period. This year, civics was added to the curriculum. The civics class attended a meeting of the town council at which time they learned just how the municipal government is run. The purpose of the civics class is to make the students specialists in good citizenship. Deep in concentration, the civics class muses over the election of state officers... Drop kick it to me, Mary, says Jenie Fischer as the 4th hour P.E. class plays speed ball.. .’’Yea, we won, says this 3 hr.

The steady clicking of typewriters were heard throughout the halls of NACHS as the typing classes practiced to achieve high speeds. Direct dictation, given by Mrs. Dudeck, was taken slowly at first, but as the year advanced, the Gregg shorthand class found that they could take dictation quite rapidly and with few errors. The transcription class and secretarial practice classes combined the two skills of typing and shorthand. The secretarial practice class also served as secretaries to the faculty members. The task of transferring figures to different book keeping papers helped the bookkeeping students to become more competent in book work. Boy, are these shorthand figures confusing,” says the 9th hour shorthand class... Working hard to keep their shorthand speed climbing are Fern Mueller, Jeanette Beck, Joyce Herman, Bev Tanner.. .Trying hard to hit the right keys are members of the 2nd hour typing class.. .Wondering if they've done their typing exercises correct are the members of the 7th hour typing class... Members of the transcription class eagerly await their turn at the dictaphone.. .The fifth hour bookkeeping class is very busy at journalizing. 4 Busy at work??? are Bill Bender, Charles Lampe, James Feurer, Neil Schaller, Jim Ragland, and Donald Bald. ..Wayne Nadler, Jim Kosarek, and Ronald Lara-more work hard to finish their drawings...

Mr. Pieron gives some helpful suggestions to the freshman students. £xfeesue tce i t£e deat te zc6e% Industrial arts students are taught various skills which will aid them in any odd jobs they may encounter. Mechanical drawing was one of the first things taught to the students. The boys were required to draw plans for a project and then construct the project. Simple projects of wood and metal were made at first, but as the student advanced, more difficult projects were tackled. The students also received an introduction to the modern machines, which help to simplify more difficult problems of construction. 23 JOSEPH J. PIERON, B.S.. M.S. — DON D. SEXTON. B. M. E. FRANCIS HUNSAKER, B.S. of Ed. Music provides a means of expression that transforms the most colorless personality into a channel of vibrant and meaningful life. Music should be part of daily living. Through it we express our love, our fears, our sympathy, our aspirations, and our feeling of fellowship. NAHS is very fortunate in having such capable and interested music directors as Mrs. Hunsaker and Mr. Sexton. The days spent at contests and festivals prove to be very educational. Getting ready for concerts and basketball games is work, but fun. The path that leads to successful musicianship is long and hard, but in the end there is a just reward. Neil Schaller carefully watches his music as Mr. Sexton explains a difficult passage... 1-2-3-4 claps Mr. Sexton as Karen Lischer, Carol Ann Schwartz, and Janie Walker play Music Man. ... Bobby Strassman, are you sure you played the right note? asks Mr. Sexton, as Bobby, Kenny Kraus and David Seibert read a new piece of music.. .The Friday morning sight-singing class looks over some new music... The second hour girls chorus is getting in the mood of the song. (Zatc'ite f, C t£e 6ecf The sociology class is under the capable direction of Mr. Kermit Jackson. Through the study of the many and varied problems of society, the students learn to be better citizens. Under the qualified guidance of Mr. Tom Hogshead, the driver training class learned the essentials and responsibilities of driving. The passing of two tests, both physical and mental, given by a state examiner was required of the students before receiving their driver's license. The 1st period sociology class seems ready to conquer the problems of society... Busy taking notes is the sociology class... Where are we going today, Mr. Hogshead? ask Bev Tanner and Carolyn Bardos... Gee, isn't the new driver training car swell, says Patti Hesse to Sondra Schopfer, Betty Harriss, and Judy Vielweber.. .Jenie Fischer, Donald Bald, and Mr. Hogshead get ready to take off. eKfayifrutt acdd In the shadows of NACHS are the people who share the burdens of various responsibilities required by the school maintenance program. Under the direction of the newly appointed cafeteria manager, Mr. Schriner, and with the co-operation of the cooks, better balanced meals were prepared. Students also provided additional cafeteria help. Having Mrs. Oelrich's capable assistance, the student librarians, kept the library neat and helped other students select books. The bus drivers, under the supervision of Russ Ziegler, provide prompt and courteous transportation for both town and country passengers. Keeping the school neat and giving it a pleasing appearance were jobs of the school's custodians. This year a new man was added to the janitorial staff. Several new appliances were added to make the maintenance system complete. Preparing the noon meal are the cooks, Mrs. Hilda Schoepp, Mrs. Aetna Nagel, and Mrs. Amanda Waeltz... Resting after surmounting a pile of dishes are Lonnie Bald, Kenny Bald, Gerald Meehan, and Gene Beggs... Work, work, work! exclaims secretary Juanita Dudeck to Russel Ziegler...

Each year, the music department of NACHS prepares for the solo, ensemble, band and chorus contests. Coming from the band room and surrounding halls, the sounds of last minute touch-ups on a solo or an ensemble can be heard. For students, contest can be both educational and fun. It gives the contestants good criticism and the chance to make many new friends. The hours of work spent in preparing for the events are always justly rewarded. Last year, superior ratings were awarded the band and mixed chorus at the state contest. (Idents on Page 39) i t ie ? zC atf t6e e HU4tcccut6.

The gym, where the prom was held, was gayly decorated with Chinese lanterns, cherry blossom trees, and a Chinese tea house where refreshments were served.

During the short ceremony the retiring royal couple, Dave Roth and Juliana Nuemberger crowned seniors, Tim Chilton and Sondra Becker. A movie then followed the prom. At the wee hours of the morning a prom breakfast was served to climax the gala event.

With ability, determination, and sting, our boys jumped and received the rebounds successfully although the team was slightly handicapped in height against many other teams. The team did their best to win the games even though competition was keen. The team played two games in the Kaskaskia Tournament, but were defeated.

As we go, we take with us the things we've learned at NACHS and also many fond memories of our school years. We hope this year’s annual will help recall all the things that have made this eventful school year, and that you, the students, will treasure it through the years.
