208SG43 For 1947 was our big year, Mr. Haydn, a big year for every person connected with New Castle High School. For the wonderful people who helped to make it so, the FACULTY, see PAGE 8. Then the SENIORS, on PAGE 26, were a swell group of kids anyone will agree. This was a year they will long remember and cherish in their scrapbooks. The UNDERCLASSMEN, the majority of the student body, make a fine showing on PAGE 42. From junior to freshman each will tell you it ' s been a record year for all their events, including the delightful prom. ACTIVITIES around this old school were really buzz- ing this year as you can see from the pictures on PAGE 52. There were the dances, convocations, junior Rotarians, Altrusa girls, the all-important yearbook, and last but not least the school paper. As you know, Mr. Haydn, all schools have their clubs and social gatherings; and New Castle High School is cer- tainly not an exception. From clubs ranked nationally to those started here they all play an important part in our school life with their various plans and functions. For pictures of these CLUBS and their activities, please notice PAGE 66. Oh, yes.

CLASSES AND FACULTY You mentioned how nice the feachers were and you are correct. Of course, there are TIMES v hen we students doubt that statement but then Our school curriculum has grown somewhat during the past three or four years — yes, even this year. With our eleven departments and with each department thinking up some new course, we soon won ' t be able to choose which courses we want most. For instance, wg have industrial arts, home economics, and commercial arts for those interested in vocational training. For the basics we have English, social studies, and mathematics. Then for those interested in other languages we have French, Latin, and Spanish. For those interested in becoming chemists, physicists, and biologists we have the sciences. Then there are music, art, and physical education which should never be omitted from any well-balanced curriculum. Some of the newer classes are Electronics 41, a boys ' cooking class, and a driving instruction class. In our driving instruction course we have a car in which the students can get practical experience as well as instruction. So you see, Mr. Haydn, we have plenty going on to keep us busy during school. Page Nine
