After much thought and consideration, the yearbook staff could not find a more deserving person for the dedication of the 1975 VESPA. He is respected by his students, friends, and associates for such qualities as fairness, dependability, and intelligence. Not only does he unfailingly serve the school and its students; he also aides the community. Since September 1968, Mr. Thomas Germann has shown NACHS nothing but persistent dedication. Born as Thomas Gene Germann on June 28, 1946, he spent his childhood years in Belleville, Illinois. Here he attended grade school and Belleville Township High School. He also attended Belleville Area College and in 1968 graduated from Illinois State University at Normal with a Bachelors Degree in Science. Since then he has obtained a Master's Degree at Edwardsville. With this extended education and classroom experience he has earned the position of a highly regarded math educator. Throughout the seven years he has been here, Mr. Germann has established himself as being very active and has proven quite helpful with many student activities. He has willingly volunteered his time, efforts, and equipment to help provide decorations and lighting for various school dances and other such occasions. He has served as class sponsor, assistant baseball coach, and as advisor for the VESPA. Spending many late hours after school, Mr. Germann has devoted much of his time toward helping staff members compile an interesting and informative book. Through his work, the VESPA has received first and second class ratings from the Columbia School Press Association and a Golden Dozen A-ward from the Southern Illinois School Press Association Mr. Germann Enjoys traveling, bowling, playing golf, and working with young people. He sponsors the St. John's United Church of Christ Sr. High Youth Fellowship in New Athens where he gives much in helping the youth of the community. He is a member of the Noblemen (a Shriner's Dance Band), the Marching Band of Ainad Temple, and the Musicians Local Marching Band. Many hot summer days were spent decorating parade floats for the Heimatfest. The floats often won prizes due to Mr. Germann s decoations. Each year he sets up a meaningful Christmas display for which he has placed fifth, two thirds, second, and first in the Belleville area. He also won two firsts in the Globe Democrat Greater St. Louis Area Contest. Mr. Germann donated his first place prize money to the Shriner's Crippled Childrens' Hospital. With this background, Mr. Germann is truly the person to whom we are proud to dedicate this book. We will never be able to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation to you, Mr. Germann. Picking out pictures for the yearbook are Sandy Duben-bostel, LuAnn Mueller, Mr. Germann, and Karen Eckert. (ABOVE) Putting up Christmas displays is only one of Mr. Germann's hobbies. (BELOW) Mr. Germann spends his leisure time making various decorations for school activities. 5
