— 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.

Eager beavers, aren't we? say the members of Ind. Arts... The library seems to be helpful to teachers as well as to students... Freshman Ind. Arts students carefully work on 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.

 (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...
