CLASS HISTORY As entering Freshmen, we looked toward the four years that lay before us with nervous anticipation. Our surroundings were like nothing we had ever experienced. A sense of freedom and responsibility surrounded us all. We enjoyed the many extra-curricular activities that were open to us and we took advantage of many. It always seemed to be our Freshman class that had the best turnout at the varsity sports. Our school spirit rose above the other classes and carried us through the coming years ahead. We chose to elect class officers in our Scphomore year. We elected Alyn Carlson as our Sophomore Class President, Gail Lussicr as Vice President, LuAnn Jcnnc as Secretary, Cathy Liston as Treasurer and Joan Beuth as Corresponding Secretary. The officers worked quite diligently on numerous projects to benefit the class. They were guided by Liz Rcisner and Steve Moreau, our class advisors. A successful bake sale was held on February 7, 1973 and a car wash at Grants parking lot April 13, 1973. Later in the year. May 1, 1973, the officers and several Sophomores were involved in an exchange program with Ponaganset High School. Many friendships came of this experience as well as a lot of fun for those who chose to participate. Our underclassmen days soon came to a close. For most it was a time for looking ahead to the following two years when we would be known officially as upperclassmen.” Our Junior year was occupied with many activities. Our class officers remained the same and again Liz Rcisner joined with Steve Moreau in guiding the officers and our class through another successful year. We were given the responsibility as Juniors to make preparations for homecoming and our efforts were rewarded by a job fully appreciated. Selling first aid kits was our first major project for the year. The money raised went to help pay the cost of the prom. I-ong hours of hard work were put in by many to ensure a successful Junior-Senior prom held at the Chatcau-dcVillc. Miss Gail Lussier was selected as our Junior Prom Queen. It was a night to be remembered by many. As the year came to a close, a number of Juniors were saddened by the 1974 graduation. A feeling of closeness was felt between the two classes and when it came time to say good-bye we bid them farewell and wished them luck. Our Senior year finally arrived and it came not soon enough for most. The class voted Jim Hannon as President, Dana Roberti as Vice President. Joan Beuth as Secretary and Cathy Liston as Treasurer. Steve Moreau was no longer a member of the teaching staff at N.K. and was missed by all. Along with Liz we were fortunate to gain another advisor, Mr. Bill Haberack. They worked well together with our class and their ideas were to the benefit of us all. Homecoming was a success as N.K. defeated Johnston. We chose Miss Ncne Bataycan as our Homecoming Queen. There were many people involved in extensive plans for the big Rogers-North Kingstown game. Several gave up a lot of free time and put in many hours. Everyone had fun and school spirit filled the halls of N.K. Our first fund raising activity was a magazine drive. The money raised went toward the coming Junior-Senior Prom. Various projects were under- taken to help finance the prom. A bon fire w'as held on the evening of November 26, 1974. This was a night a certain few could not forget! The selling did not do much for us in the fund raising department. The prom committee worked very hard in preparation for the coming Junior-Senior Prom which was to be held at the Sheraton Islander in Newport. January 25, the night of the prom, finally arrived and excitement filled the air. Saturday, May 24, 1975, was our last big social gathering as a class. This was the night the Senior Ball and Banquet was held. Our high school years are all but gone now and memories linger. Now we turn our eyes toward the vast expanse of days which lay ahead and we again feel the nervous anticipation. But now it is more heightened, more intense. We experienced our four, or perhaps five years together, and together hopefully through the years we’ve conquered our past fears and have finally found a way. The seasons arc turning as arc our lives. New experiences will continue to arise and hopefully our experiences in the past have allowed us to grow as individuals aware of our many opportunities. There are so many roads to choose, so many different ways. Each of us must believe that the path we choose to follow is the right one. Good-bye N.K. 22
