'Y .NN-X IK X lfxx Sie Um lo' 41, Throughout the years, from 1924- 1975, the Purgold has endeavored to in- clude a wide variety of school events. The year 1926 brought with it the first orchestra under the direction of Miss Wright. Less than ten years later, in 1935, the orchestra entered the Clay County and Little Six Music-Dramatic Festival. After 450 contestants and 26 events, Northtown ranked first in Little Six Conference, first in Clay County schools, and first among all those entered. In 1935 Northtown celebrated its tenth Owl Queen, Miss Margery Sissom. One of her most notable attendants was Miss Mildred Fulton, a Senior in that year. Seven years later, 1942, Marcella Duffey was crowned the first Homecom- ing Queen at Northtown, while Patricia Stock was crowned the Buzz Smile Queen. The 1940's included many plays that were put on for the student body. The junior class of 1944 presented, And Came the Spring. The comedy for 1946 was Don't Take My Penny. Strictly Formal, was the production for the juniors of 1948. , v
