H N..-vm 'V A ,,.i.-.-W r i The first few days of school found both teachers and students last in their new surroundings. Sophomore Ronnie Turner and senior John Smiley benefit from the map of room locations in the main hall. We noticed the little things which added attractiveness to the halls like the rock garden under the stairway and the planters filled with a variety of growing plants. We couldn't help but compare the large light offices wth the familiar ones at old NHS, and we thought it would be fun to go to the Health Office or purchase sup- plies at the Bookstore. Our classrooms seemed so inviting, too, with their modern furniture, ample storage space and pastel walls. As we became adiusted to our new sur- roundings, our feelings of bewilderment gave way to pride and we realized how fortunate we were to be in one of the finest high schools in the country. Finds Us Awed But Bewildered All 950 of us crowded around the Parkview entrance on the first day of school and waited to get our first glimpse inside of our new building. After years of careful planning by Mr. Redman and our faculty members, our Chrysler High was at last a reality. f ...f1'5Qira an ff 4 1':,,.'-: i!'WSit4alx.i1f -if... 5

W . 1 The first day in our new NHS found the same old crowds getting together to rltall summer highlights and wondering what life would be like in the new building. First day excitement and curiosity found sophomores, iuniors, and sen- iors searching from room to room and getting lost. Yes, Orientation Day was different this year because for the first time we were all new and slightly confused. As soon as we found time, all 950 of us began to explore the offices, classrooms, and hallways. On the first floor, we inspected the greenhouse in the biology room, looked through the new micro- scopes, noticed the new supplies for semi-micro chemistry, and then ex- amined the cafeteria where we were to eat every day. Cur First Day The colorful rock garden located beneath the stairway on the first floor provides a place for students like Dick Ogborne and Carol Fadely to chat as they relax between classes. The Parkview entrance also is the gathering place for students each morning and noon.
