Variation Highlights Four Other Clubs Even though the snow wasn't too abundant during the school year, the Ski Club did get to ski six times during the winter. Some of its money making pro- jects included basketball raffles and sponsoring the hot dog concessions at bas- ketball games. A new club to spring up during the year was the Chess Club. The members of the club played chess during the first noon hour most days. A club that's been in existence for a long time at NBHS is the Science Club. The club went to Hurley Hospital in Flint in the fall, for a field trip. Another relatively new organization was a club known as the PAC, the Per- forming Arts Club. The PAC presented several skits during the school year for the student body at pep assemblies. Money raising performances given during the Spring helped to raise revenue for future projects. 22

What's that sneaking behind the band? No, it's not Mr. Sutton, it's Pink Panther Prather doing his thing' as the band plays his song. The cat, played by Mr. Prather, was the highlight of one of the halftime shows. The high school band was also split into two groups. The new system of two bands meant a lot of competition between the bands, but this didn't deflate the pride put into each performance. This was proven by the bringing home of IV' from district and state competition. The band, as a whole, sponsored a lot of money making activities such as candy and fruit sales throughout the year in order to raise the needed money for its annual spring tour. The New England states was the band’s destination.
