Nmtll Grade Class Hzstory
Forty years from now when we are old and grey, we wxll look back on the grade at Napoleon l-hgh with
fond memorxes, Jumpxng off bxg red and whxte school buses, running up the broad sxdewalks, openxng the
doors, eager to study our hardest untxl 3 45 p m fha! ha' We recollect between classes that the largest
group of glrls were gathered around, Tom Kendall chosen best lookxng And gearing a sudden swxsh and a
clatter of feet, you don t need to be told that xt s Phyllis Adkins followed by her many male admirers
Your heart IS fxlled with joy as you thxnk of Mr Howland s English class ln the front row you see U1 your,
mxnds eye, Vlrgxma Creery and Kenneth Harris hunched over their Englxah books with eyes intent on dxa
grams and defll'llt1Ol'lS They well deserve honor of most studlous In the back of the room you see Lxllxe
Hawkms axmlng a sp1t ball at Mr Howlands head whale m back of her Donald Waters IS stxckxng one of her
curls In an mk well As a questxon ns asked only two hands are seen wavmg frantxcally, the owners of them
are Mary Bechtol and George Boone Mr Howland thmkxng proudly, these two are my favorxtes As we
venture back xnto the halls we hear what sounds to be at a distance, the rat a tat tat of a machxne gun, but
as we turn a corner we see Myrnalee jayne and Allen Mxller lxvxng up to their name of most talkatwe
Further down the hall xt looks as xf a beacon IS blmkmg on and off but as we approach we see xt IS Barbara
Herzberg blmkxng one of her blg blue eyes at all the boys ln general Beside of her Herbert Flmt IS
lmxlmg broadly at the gxrls You can t fall to remember the personalztxes of Phxllxp Rxchardson and Luanne
Wxllxams fvoted most popular, as they oblxgngly remxnd us of our class motto Onward IS our Alm
And last remembering our olhcers who carrxed on our busxness so well 111 our first year of high
School Phxlllp Rxchardson Presxdent, Barbara Herzberg Vxce Presxdent Mary Bechtol, Secretary and
Klm Rutter Treasurer, all wearmg a rose and our class colors blue and whlte Now we must return
to our I6 kxds and tumbled down shacks

To all young people thls day must come,
Books to buy and new clothes to wear
The bus wxll come mn an hour or so,
For 1ts off to school we all wall go
Here we are, tis school at last
We all wzll be glad when the year is past
Mrs Rxchardson and Mrs Waters, are class advzsers
To thxs exceptzonal class of fifty one
Trymg to study are Shxrley Patton and Charles Ray,
Most studlous of all from September, tlll May
Over xn the corner above all the rest,
You can hear Fuller and Adams our class pests
Donna Herr and Don Gler are combmg the1r haxr,
Best looking of all, they make a good paxr
Preston and Stanclxff most lxkely to suceed,
More people hke these the school does need
Day and DeLand most popular of all,
They have frxends from fall txll fall
Fllber and Adkms, who flxrt all the tzme
Romeo and Juliet couldn t have done better
Marlon Fuller and Don Ray wxth thexr tongues contxnuously

Yet wlthm thexr studies they are not laggxng

The Semor session was all a flurry
The bell wxll rmg and they all wlll hurry
Nancy and joe to thelr studxes wzll go
Dunham and Marks the very best looking
They keep the ' love stew' hotly cooking
Carole and Meddy most popular of all
They have frlends from spring t11l fall
Hudson and Raby most likely to succeed,
More people like these we really do need
jamce and Homer who fhrt all the time,
Behmd the lockers they spend most of thezr time
Spencer and Wxlllam who are the class pests
Dull as they are, they bother the rest
Sparhng and johnson from their mouth does come
A continuous hnq, of plenty of nothmg

The Lamps of the Years Cast a Warm Glow
Rapxdly the star of the class of '50 xs disappearing beyond the horzzon, and w1th xt the
memories and hxgh school lxfe of its members But let xt gleam for a moment on a morning four
years ago
Finally entering as hrgh school students stfll under the dxrectlon of our advisor Mr
Hugh Howland, we were faced by more dlffxcult classes and new routme
Like all green Freshmen, we found It hard to adjust ourselves to the new and dxfferent
responsrblhtles we would have to undertake
At last came our Sophomore year, and the thought that soon we would be upperclassmen
What satlsfactxon to see the Freshlesu trying to adjust themselves as we had
The classes were becommg more and more dxfficult wxth pesky angles and smelly
dissected frogs and pickled pigs eyes holdmg the spothght
As juniors we realized we had to start makxng money for our Semor trxp We held
dances, sold candy and pop at basketball games as well as durmg noon hours
Class ring measurements were taken and the realization that graduatlon was not too
creased our excxtement We held it lh the school gym to begln a new precedent We put on the
jumor play Everythxng on Ice
The thrxll of our coming Semor year was suddenly dxmmed by the unexpected death of
a good fnend and wonderful classmate B111 Bouldrey
The apex of our high school lxfe was finally here, we were Senxors We said it over
and over just to be sure xt was true
The last s1x months began wxth the thrxll of Senior pxctures, no mxrades of photography
were achleved, as yet, much to the dxsappozntment of some of the members Oh! We had a prevxew
of the Cap and Gown Feehng
lnvxtatxons were ordered and sent to all of our friends and relation spreadxng the glad
news afar
Practice for the class play was begun agam The hard work and great expectlon IS
all 1n the past, but the empty feeling xn the pxt of our stomach when we appeared on stage, that
memorable fxrst performance comes back as nf xt were only yesterday
The junior and Senior banquet was held and was very much enjoyed by all
Finally graduatzon the recexvmg of our dlplomas, of havmg our names read off
as we proudly stand to let our frxends and relatwes see your last act as a hxgh school member
Now we are ready for the partlng of the ways As our class motto says, To Strive
to Seek, to Find, but not to Yield

As meek and t1m1d as httle Freshmen we sneaked m the back s1de doors of Napoleon I-hgh School
The upperclassmen played their pranks and trucks on us but we soon dxstmgulshed ourselves When Hallo
ween Carmval tnme came along the green' Freshmen came out on top wlth our contestant jane Bechtol
bexng crowned Queen of the school
Our Sophomore year was rather dead but after many va1n efforts we created some ways to xncrease
the value of our money bag We contmued mfluencmg the other classes and teachers by takmg part
ln all of the school act1v1t1es
jumors Oh, at last! Our officers led us throughout the year with poxse and ab1l1ty mn our many act
1v1t1es They were Pres1dent,j1m De Land, V1ce Presldent, jean Watts Secretary, Shxrley Patton and
Treasurer, jane Bechtol One of our most excltmg moments was the selection of our class rmgs wh1ch
really made us feel as though we were gettmg just that much closer to graduatxon Some of our other
doxngs were the jumor play, the jumor Semor Banquet, and of course we were honored to have our
candxdate, Marcxa Day, be crowned Queen of Napoleon l-hgh School, at the Halloween Carmval
To keep our money bag bulgmg, we sold candy, statlonery, metal sponges, and had a rummage
sale
We now feel that we are ready to start our Semor year wlth a b1g bang

The library was improved in many ways this year It was painted during
the summer and the book cases rearranged to make more room Several new
pieces of furniture were added Some of the old books were discarded and re-
placed with new ones If the Senior students lack credits they are given the
opportunity of working in the library to make up the credits This is done under
the direction of Mrs Richardson During the summer the librarians made a
trip to Detroit
