Leigh. We wish to thank you for all the help given to the freshmen in this first experience in high school. We thank you, too, for helping to carry high the purple and gold banner of the Yellow Jackets. You have not confined your interests to the school alone. Your leadership has improved the summer recreation program for children of all ages. You are indeed an outstanding member of the NACHS faculty. School Board members; George H. Wirth, President; Allen H. Schlesinger, Secretary; Levi Seibert, Fred Bickel Jr., Loren Kolditz, Clinton Beadle, and Bain W. Hun-saker.

Hunsaker, Superintendent; pauses during checking over a student's preference test record. Seven men from New Athens school district are selected by the community for the New Athens school board. Each year these men try to improve the school and its district without going over the school's budget, or collecting more taxes. With the aid of Superintendent, Bain Hunsaker, the board finds out the difficulties in and about the school district. The students at NACHS are proud of our school: which we owe our thanks to the Board of Education, Mr. Hunsaker, and tax payers for keeping the school up to date on all the modern education facilities. in LJ s: UJ O CL LJ CX Mrs. Stookey gives the English III students their weekly vocabulary lesson . . .

As we go through life, we can always be confident in our speaking if we have had good basic training. We all strive for fluent speech and intelligent conversation. Through the English courses, under the direction of Mrs. Gladys Stookey, students may well learn these necessities. Throughout the year, the classes strive to better their grammar and knowledge in literature. Several exercises and tests are given to check improvement. For the benefit of the seniors, a college preparatory course is offered to prepare the students for college work. A research paper on some author was one of the varied projects undertaken. By this they learned to use information and also be able to write the paper with their own feelings and ideas. 'ZVonlcC Spanish, the latest addition to NACHS's curriculum, is taught by Miss House. The use of records aids the students to more fluent pronunciation of the language. Miss House also teaches English II, modern literature, and world history. Modern literature acquaints the students with modern authors and the many styles of writing which are used. English II advances and tries to perfect the English which has been studied for many years. Language textbooks, literature books, and the requirement of library books help to further this learning. World history attempts to explain the events of the past which have shaped the world of today. All these subjects prepare a student for a full and successful life. DOROTHY HOLSTON HOUSE, A.

Mathematics develops your understanding and reasoning. With the proficient instruction of Mr. Schriner, students should be prepared for the challenging world of tomorrow. Besides mathematics. Mr. Schriner teaches U. S. history. Each student's interest in their country is urged and inspired through this class.

It is the night of the prom and Beverly the most sought after girl in town - is to be Terry's date. Everything shapes up toward a perfect evening, when Beverly arrives with Ted Barton - and announces that she is going with Ted. Terry and his mother get busy on the phone and call every girl they know. There is other romantic trouble in the household. Terry's older sister Ardene is disgusted with her fiance, Charlie Gainor, because he is trying hard to make his tourist cabins pay, and she is tired of staying home. Charlie's business increases when Jeralee Jackson, a famous movie star from Hollywood, comes to stay at his cabins after having run away from Hollywood because of a fight with her boyfriend, Wally. Terry's cousin gets Jeralee to accompany Terry to the prom. Knowing she will get lots of publicity, Jeralee accepts. Her boyfriend finds out about the date and comes into town like a cyclone. Terry shows Beverly that she isn't the only girl in the world and with all the added business caused by Jeralee's visit, Charlie can afford to give Ardene a night out.

The scenery was enhanced by a beautifully lighted lily pond while a large mushroom grew behing the lily pond. A white picket fence, enclosing the gymnasium, was covered with angel hair which added a misty effect to the atmosphere of the affair. A dome of stars overhung the entire gymnasium floor. Refreshments were served by fairies from the wishing well. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of Richard Kosarek and Ann Roe as the 1959 Prom King and Queen. A movie, Reluctant Debutante, followed the dance. A breakfast after the movie brought to a close the gala event.
