We elected class officers who were Jerry Brownawell, president, Donald Ruth, vice-president, Joyce Binner, secretary, Jean Nell, treasurer g and Dorothea Stambaugh, historian. With the encouragement and guidance of our homeroom teachers, Mr. Getz, Mrs. Weaver, and Mr. Nell, we hurried through our first year at Northei n. Autumn, 1954, had arrived. Anxious students hurried throuQ1 the front doors to see their classmates and begin their eighth grade.
