Nadeau has a busy schedule
but likes it that way. He
recently added another
“duty” to his day, being
elected President of the Perry
High School Student Council.
Joe is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph W. Nadeau of
Marshallville Road. Joe is in
“the upper ten percent” of his
PHS senior class,
academically, and was this
week notified that he had been
named as a “Commended”
student by the National Merit
Scholarship Corporation.
Joe’s commendation means
that he performed ex
ceptionally well on last year’s
Preliminary Scholastic Ap

major factor by many colleges
in determining entrance
qualifications of a high school
graduate.
This fall quarter Joe is
Cadet Commander of the
Perry High School Air Force

Cadet Lieutenant Colonel.
This summer, Joe attended a
leadership school in South
Carolina with over one hun
dred other high school cadets
in Georgia and South
Carolina, and was named
“Outstanding Leader” by the
school instructors.
Joe says he hopes to obtain
either a U.S. Navy or U.S. Air
Force ROTC scholarship. He
will attempt to get a
nomination to one of the
nation’s collegiate
academies: either the Naval
Academy in Maryland, the
Coast Guard Academy in
Connecticut or the Air Force
Academy in Colorado.
The likable senior says his
favorite class at Perry High is
either Humanities or
Economics. He says he enjoys

Humanities because “you can
be loose, be yourself.” The
class is currently studying
philosophy, concentrating on
Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle.
Joe likes Economics
because “it encompasses all
of our society and affects all
the individuals in it."
Joe was recently nominated
for the Senate Youth
Program. If selected, he will
go to Washington, D.C., the
week of February 1 of next
year. Joe has to take a
political science qualifying
examination for the slot. He
may win a SI,OOO scholarship.
Nadqau is a member of the
Key Club at Perry High, and
in addition plays on the
baseball team. He is an out
fielder.
As for his future aspirations,
Joe says he is undecided
beyond college. Os course, if
he is successful in obtaining a
military college nomination,
his immediate future is fairly
well determined. He admits he
is interested in politics, but
says “there are so many other
things too.”
In addition to his otherwise
busy schedule, Joe works
about twenty hours a week at
a retail-catalogue store in
Easlgate Shopping Center.
This week’s teenager of the
week has a unique hobby -
creative writing. Nadeau says
he is currently attempting to
write a short story. He
remarks, “It’s not for a class;
it’s just for me.” Asked if he
had any journalistic am
bitions, Joe said he didn’t
want to be tied down by
pressure. He reflected, “I’ve
got to write what 1 feel when I
feel.” Move over... Ernest
