Once again, after two years' absence, Stanley Evans is a member of the NACHS faculty. Under his capable guidance, science, biology, and chemistry students gain a wealth of knowledge. The field ol science and research is becoming more and more necessary in this great space age. General science students learn the basic facts about human and animal life and pnysical conditions of the world which are enlarged upon in biology. Chemistry classes learn through various experiments the physical make-up of matter. Students are beginning to realize how important more science studies are in this ever-changing world. STANLEY L. EVANS, B. S. in Ed. The freshman science class watches the blackboard, where Mr. Evans draws a picture of the earth and its different levels . . . The chemistry boys are up to a bit of inventing--let's hope it's not dangerous . . .Mr. Evans explains one of the questions on the biology test to Ray Hanft . . .

ALLEN A. FREE, B.S. in Ed. This year NACHS has been selected to test a new math program developed by S. I. U. Freshmen and Seniors were introduced to this new method of learning. In general science, biology, and physics, the classes learn many interesting facts which help us to understand the world in which we live. The biology course is varied by numerous field trips. Under the expert leadership of Allen Free, the advanced math students pave the way to higher education. Algebra students learn things which will help them in later life. Mr. Free also has charge of the audio-visual department at NACHS. This year he has organized a Projection Club. A new screen, filmstrips, and tapes have been added to the department this year.
