SEIIIUI1 GLASS REVIEW A We of the 1946 graduating class deem ourselves very fortunate to be the first class in four years to gradu- ate from N.C.H.S. in peace time. Each and everyone of us is ready to go forth into the welcoming arms of a peaceful world and establish a firm foundation on which to build ourccareers and a lifetime of health, happi- ness, and prosperity. Before we leave, however, let us open the cover of a four year volume and review our last lesson ever to be prepared in our high school career-the lesson of our activities and life in N.C.H.S., chap- ters one, two, three, and four. In reviewing our first chapter, we learn that we, as freshmen, composed a group of one hundred-thirty. This group of eager students was led through a successful year by Harlan Heller, president, Bill Vandegraft, vice president, and Judy Gehrt, secretary. Mr. McConkey served as our loyal sponsor for one semester. After his resignation, Mr. Bailey served us for one week. We chose, then, as a result of Mr. Bailey's resignation, Mr. Bishop, who finished the year as our leader. Sports, music, dramatics, and various organizations received a taste of our talent. Gordon Armstrong, Betty Schad, Tom Linden, Judy Gehrt, Bob Allan, and Marihonor Met- calf were featured in the play, June Mad. Gordon Armstrong also played in Tons of Money. The freshman- sophomore party proved to be a big hit. The chosen theme was St. Patricks. Four of our more intelligent stu- dents, Miriam Ambrose, Charles Melton, Weldon Bayless, and Harlan Heller' were elected into the Junior Na- tional Honor Society. The year 1943 found a very determined group of sophomores anxious to get things rolling. We started the year by electing as our officers: Bob West, president, Herb Robertson, vice president, and Doris Campbell, secretary. Our choice of class sponsor was Miss Bessmer. We were well represented in the band, orchestra, dra- matics, sports, clubs, and newspaper staff. Howard Eades, Robert Stratton, Herb Robertson, and Bernice Buzard joined forces with those sophomores retaining membership in the National Honor Society from their freshman year. Laura Hadden, Gordon Armstrong, and Marcia Bryant were given parts in the play, Every Family Has One. Several sophomore boys, although not on the regular team, made a fine showing of their athletic abil- ity and teamwork. Those on the football squad included: Richard McCannon, Don Hinshaw, Howard Eades, Don Mohr, Eddie Conklin, Forrest Cates, and Burt Whitman. Turning in fine records for the basketball season were these same boys with the addition of Charles Melton. Everyone had a gay time at the party given the freshmen by the sophomores. A very appropriate theme, Victory, was selected for this annual event. As we turn the pages of our third chapter which made history in the year 1944-45, we find that ninety juniors were busily engaged in the extra-curricular activities and organizations that help to keep a school run- ning in a democratic manner. The officers that led us through a busy year were: President, Howard Eades: vice president, Frances Remschnerp secretary, Bernice Buzard. Mr. Legg was our sponsor. Early in the year two of our group of ninety, Kenny Martin and J. B. Heller, stepped out of civilian life into navy life to help Uncle Sammy win a war. As we glance through the music section, we see the familiar faces of Marjorie Patton, Betty Dragoo, Dorothy Caldwell, Marlan Miller, Don Mohr, Burt Whitman, Harlan Heller, Bob Allan, Dick Peairs, and Charles Melton. ln the sports department the juniors claimed several athletes who can be counted on to give an opposing team a tough battle. Judy Gehrt, Bernice Buzard, Dorothy Caldwell, Donna Davis, Miriam Ambrose, and Betty Burrows held membership in Girl Scouts. A Bond Drive was sponsored by this or- ganization with the aim of purchasing a jeep for our armed forces, with the full support of the entire student body we reached far beyond our goal. A group of juniors, Gordon Armstrong, Judy Gehrt, Richard Peairs, Charles Melton, Betty Schad, Loren Breidenbach, Marcia Bryant, and Harlan Heller were featured in the play, What A Life. This year, Betty Dragoo, Bob West, Don Hinshaw, Richard Adams, Howard Eades, James Page Tvonfy
