fo c ftfiete c t Under the proficient guidance of Mr. Free, the math students learn which will help them in any field they may choose to enter after high school. They learn to better understand our fast moving world and to think problems through for themselves. The Math I students learn basic algebra, while the Math II students learn more of the same on a higher level. This year’s Math II class is the largest in the history of NACHS. Advanced math pupils are preparing for college. In the spring, the best students goto the math contest at SIU where they compete for honors with math students from other schools. Mr. Free explains logarithms during the trig section of the advanced math class. No wonder Mr. Free has such a hard time—the attention he gets! 11

The mixed chorus practices for the choral clinic at S. I. U. z td TZecneatiott The music department at NACHS provides a diversion from the regular routine of school life. Mrs. Frances Hunsaker and Mr. Don Sexton have worked long and hard to provide interesting and educational courses. In these courses, students work closely together preparing for such activities as concerts, contests, parades, and festivals. Students also gain a better understanding of team co-operation in the P. H. classes, taught by Miss Lands and Coach Otness. In such classes, they learn to abide by the rules of the games they play, and thus they are preparing themselves for a healthful, more useful life. While Mr. Sexton makes a last-minute check, the band awaits the downbeat for the Christmas concert. Looks likes fun, but don't break your neck!!!
