4 nationally. The Math department is com osed of some of the finest teachers in the district. They demand muchj from their students, but students who do the work are well prepared for the future. The mathematics department curriculum has been quite varied and comprehensive, ranging from Math 9B lindivudalized classesl to Ad- vanced Placement Calculus. While the rest of the nation has shown declining math scores on the S.A.T. Tests during the past ten years, N.P.H.S. has not. The top one- half of N.P.H.S. students have scored better than the top one-third .5 e 7g5fgtf:1!f , at V - t 6 , 'xxx sg ,pf s an N 'V -V Q ,lat 'A - 1 H415 ,. y , Q r kly A F i, -T f' p . .. . 5 51 5 K ff I5 I6 if ,??'f . .

I believe this is due to the variety of edu- cational opportunities they have. George Hurley: Students are basically the same as they were in 1966 when I graduated from high school, but the times have changed and they reflect those changes. Parents and society seem to be more relaxed and thus students are more free to be and do as they want. Also, they seem to have more things and appreciate them less than when I was their age. Lea LeBarthe: When I was in high school, if the campus was clean all week we got out half an hour early on Friday. But if any day was dirty, we couldn't go early that Friday. I think N.P.H.S. could build alot of pride and spirit with a similar type of program. Gary McGinnis Dennis McKeown john Mutolo Brad Nelson: Smooching with your girlfriend or boyfriend, littering, ditching class. Mary Ann Robbert 'I8 79 20 27 22 23 Norman Sanford: Students appear to be maturing much sooner these days. It would be nice if we had a program to help them deal with the life situations and emotions involved in this early maturing. At present we only deal with it in an abstract, unfeeling, practically useless manner. Marilyn Simone Francis Simonin Robert Thomas: I would like to see more students involved in some program at N.P.H.S. We seem to have an over-abun- dance of a few students involved in many programs each. There is something for everyone here to get involved in if only they would. Kathleen Vieth: High School students today are much more aware of the entire world around them. This is probably due to the influence of television. Back in the old days we were much less aware of and much less concerned with world problems. james Wilkes: We need an apathy club. It would be easy to obtain a sponsor as it would involve minimal work. Anyone who showed up for a meeting would, of course, be summarily chastised and thrown out of the club.. tBut who would take attendance anyway?J Math 269

Industrial Arts, a well interacting de- partment, had funds made available this year to allow tools and equipment to be updated. The initiation of a graphic arts class and expansion of the metal shops were their major activities, as well as a facility improvement. One of the projects students engaged in was the development and installation of storage purchased by the commun- ity, which at the same time allowed a monetary income. METAL, I 1 Norman Barker: Some of the TT pastimes that were a part of my high school days that are still around today are: Drag racing in front of school, getting drunk on weekends fwiped outl and saying, l'll never do it again, that is, until next weekend rolls around. 2 William Beaubien 3 William Brandt 4 james Crowdis: Printing, of course! 5 james Ganser 6 Herb Henderson 7 Lin Thomas: I am happy to see students having fun while learning facts and responsi- bility, and becoming more wise and mature. Compared with students in the 50's, more is required of those who will accept the chal- lenges and less is asked of those who refuse to respond. I hope to continually, tact- fully cause a positive re- sponse from the usually don'ts while not requiring too much from the always dos. Through this whole process I try to show the cor- rect example of humility and reverence to the Lord. 268 Industrial Art 1091 l DUSTRIAL ARTS, DRAFTING, ELECT 8 Guess what l've got, Mr. Brandt, asks Wayne Carson.

1 Marti Dibble: I would like to see us initiate more Phys. Ed. classes with a recreational emphasis. Such classes as back-packing and hik- ing have already been successful. I would like to see us offering yoga, sailing, dry-land skiing, golf bowling, rock-climbing, etc., as well as promoting our athletic programs. 2 Robert Hendricks 3 Margaret Hokana 4 loan Lambert: In the olden days each town had their own high l school, with complete facilities, The school spirit and school pride was phenomenal! 5 Phillip Lloyd .ea 6 Lorin Maygren 7 lay Merrill: How does N.P.H.S. compare with my high school days? Quite a few comparisons, the students have the same needs and goals, the teachers try to meet these needs, and Coach Cook was my high school coach and Mr. Loretta was our high school truant officer. Things haven't changed. 8 Noralyn Parvin A 9 Michael Robles sw 10 Mike Stewart: Learning to live with no money.
