Vocational Choices, Scholarship Tests and Counseling Planning for the Future Of the 49 seniors, 41 began their careers at NACHS in 1965. These students found themselves faced with the many challenges of high-school life. First, it was necessary for them to become adjusted to high school and to begin working toward their two basic goals: graduation and their class trip. During the next two years,the class members became quite at home in their routines at NACHS and became involved in many activities. Included in the list were the Sophomore Supper, candy and soda sales, the Junior Play, and Junior-Senior Prom. During the past year, the Class of ’69 became involved in an even greater number of activities. As money-making projects, they took on another class supper, a bake sale, a class play, magazine sales, and a theater production by the Southern Players of SIU, Car-bondale. The daily routine was broken into quite abruptly on November 26, when all seniors came to school looking their very worst, for it was dress-down” day. The following day was a complete turn-about as seniors reported for school decked out in their finest. It became quite evident toward the middle of the year that it was necessary to make plans in advance. The students were measured for their caps and gowns, ordered their announcements, and made arrangements for the long-awaited class trip. The Class of '69 was advised by Mr. Jerry Ritter all four years and by Miss Jean Smith, Miss Janice Pockling-ton, and Mr. Joseph Pieron, successively.
