It was' not that September in the rain, but just a plain old ordinary September in the year l936 A. D. that a joyous group of W Johns and Marys, eighty-five strong, crash- 4 ed the gates of NHS to become the twenty- first freshmen class of that great institu- tion of learning. It was in that same September that this cheery band, under the reins of Mr. Elliott and Mr. Haddock, began to take to the scheme of NHS activities like a chicken to the flower bed. Before many moons they had gained sufficient foothold in the pattern of scholastics, dramatics, athletics, sience, journalism, and music to give them a forceful begin- ning to their high school carrers. As they embarked upon their sophomore year with Ole Lady Ex- perience by the hand, the Class of '40, plus all their former zip and zest, continued to build many magnificent milestones along their path. Once again this class copped HBest Assemblyn honors with their UNite B'fore Th' Opra', featuring an all male cast. Sophomore year spelled encouragement for many of this de- termined and ambitious group. l938 saw James Macris showing the earmarks of a veteran in football, Peggy Piquero displaying in- terest and scholastic ability, Robert Underwood becoming a leader in student affairs, Sammy Marcus rising swiftly in bas- ketball and tennis, and Grace Roberts, Anita Serino, Emma Gour- din, Robert Davison, and Margaret Roark active in their res- pective pursuits. - Juniors! 1938-19391 Wiser by two years participation in high school activities, the Wgreenu. freshmen and sophomores of '37 and '38 became the confident, assuring, razzle-dazzling Juniors of 1939. Under the capable leadership of S. Marcus as class president, the Juniors lost no time in earning their share of glory and success, vieing closely with the Seniors in leader- ship. Football saw James Macris playing true to prediction a long with his Junior Mates, Robert Davison and Daniel Uribe. As if summoning all their dramatic talent and experience, the Juniors presented three outstanding performances of that un- forgetable story of Louisa M. Allcott's HLittle Womenn, to win for themselves, the cast, the class, and the director the high- 16 SENIU

I STURY est 0? praise Prom students and townspeople. The players were: Peggy Piquero as HJOU, Richard Taliaferro as HLaurieH, Margaret Roark as NMegU, Dorothy Diehl as HAmyN, Ruth Cumming as UBethH, James Macris as NMr. Marchn, Mary Krupp as nMrs. Marchu, Robert Underwood as NJohn Brooken, Wilda Redditt as UAunt Marchn, and Edward Bayze as HProf. Bhearn with Samuel Marcus as assistant director. The Junior President, Sammy Marcus, led the Apache basketball team to many victories during the season as well as being tennis champion and a member of the Adoba Court. State Oratorical Champion and Vice President of the Student Body, Robert Under- wood, and amiable Junior, Peggy Piquero,.were elected Adobe pop- ularity king and queen to reign over the annual Junior Prom and Senior Ball of l939. Seniors! Halleluja! Almighty Seniors! Viva los Seniors! By a unanimous vote, S. Marcus was again elected to bear the responsibility ot Class President. Grace Roberts was elected ed- itor of the Apache Warcry. Dorothy Ann Hardy not only was editor of the Adobe, but was elected representative of NHS to take the Daughters of the American Revolution test. Climaxing their football careers with a splendid display of athletic ability, J. Macris, the most outstanding football play- er, D. Uribe, and R. Davison, the most improved, put away the pigskin for the last time. Turning lightly from the drama of NLittle Womenn to the less- serious mystery-comedy of ULunatics at Largen, the Seniors made their final stage appearance under the direction of Mrs. Cameron. The cast was composed o? G. Horrall, D. Hardy, M. Krupp, M. Log- an, R. Taliaferro, Z. Versus, R. Underwood, P. Piquero, S. Mar- cus, J. Macris, M. Roark, D. Uribe, A. Padilla, and G. Riggs. The clay was both a financial and a,dramatic success. Again the production staff contributed much to the highly praised perform- ance. As a fitting Finale to their color9ul march through years of remarkable achievement, the twenty-fifth graduating class of NHS signed off from the national hook-up of secondary education with a Ditch Day, a Senior Ball, and a Commencement that will be long remembered as masterful pinishing touches to the one, only and irreplaceable --------------------------------------- CLASS OF l9AO 17
