VVith hearts aglow, Staid step and slow, VVith heads held high We say Good-bye, We'll love thee, aye, forever! VVe are the class of June '18 We are not few in number, And so with all our sixty-five Each other class out-number. In courses three Divided, we, Did lead our way For many a day, And now comes graduation Our life has held but four short years Of High School education, VVC read in our big hist'ry books Laws of emancipation, Geometry- Star students we CFD And Latin, too, We stumbled thru' In this line High School building. We were the first proud freshman This new High School to e-nterg Each loved it as a happy home And was its gay frequenter. And now we are First to unbar Its further gate, Completing eight Quite well defined semesters. We bid farewell to teachers dear, And than-k them for their prudence That helped us learn our lessons we And made us faithful students. Not only books From dusty hooks Did we peruse, But learned the news The present world holds vital. class ll WVe learned to love our country first And next to her our school. VVe all must help our Uncle Sam! Our ardor must not cool! We'll work for him With mighty vim To down the Hun And spurn each one VVith righteous indignation. And now we leave our childish life For works of men and women Each in his own fixed way must tread The path of every human. Some leave these walls For college halls. While others go To farms and sow To help the cause of freedom. Now let us turn with sharp salute And greet our soldier brothers. Already five have joined the ranks. And later there'll be others. One sails the sea A Another three As boys in brown, And one has died in service. Fair maidens cannot go to war . But they can learn to knit, sir, They can make sweaters, large and sma And fill the soldier's kit, sir. They've learned the art And do their part, But very few Have failed to do The work assigned to them. Dear Alma Mater may we leave NVith thee this parting vow: VVe'll all be honest, brave and good And, once our hand put to the plow, VVe'll do our best To stand the test. A XVe'll 'do or die' And now, good-bye! We'1l love thee, aye, forever! ll

IZ THE MIRROR HISTORY OF CLASS OF JUNE 'l3. General and. Manual Training Divisions. On a bright September morn in I9l4, there entered into N. H. S. a class of UD energetic youths and blooming lassies, who have the honor of being the first Freshman class to enter the New High School. Several new courses having been installed, the class was divided into four different groups, namely: General C35jg Commercial M85 g Domestic ScienceQ38j 1 Manual Training QZZD. The General and Domestic Science were located on the main Hoor, the Manual Training class- room on the second, while the work- shops were located in the basement, and the Commercial was assigned to the third floor. The Manual Training department, al- though a different course, took Fresh- man Latin with the Generals, who, no doubt, caused Miss Amy to have many restless nights from trying to make Latin penetrate into ivory. W'ith the faithful work of Miss Sutor, Miss Susan Foote, Mr. Dilley, Mr. Pattison, and Mr. VV. L. Y. Davis, we were successfully guided through our Freshman and Sophomore years, losing a small percent of our classmen. September, 1916, we returned to school as proud juniors, with several familiar faces missing, but new ones appearing in their places. At this time the Manual Training class was combined with the generals owing to the small number re- turning. A choice of either Botany or Physics was offered and we had many good times in the labs. VVihile the Bo- tanists were trying to raise hair on an egg-shell under Miss Amy F0ote's in- structions the Physicists were told that all bodies were attracted to each other Ceven hairy, but they were inclined to think there was not much attraction on Mr. Pattison's head. VVe, the juniors, being allowed to or- ganize, chose Horace Doughty, Presi- dentg Isabel Griewe, Vice President, Elizabeth Madeira, Secretary, and Dud- ley Robinson, Treasurer. In February, they were succeeded by Wallace Mcln- tire, President, Marie Schwenker, Vice- Presidentg Mildred Steinbock, Secretary and Harold Marqua, Treasurer. This year was notable for our many social times-thanks to the chaperons. The Freshman reception was very suc- cessful, especially the refreshments un- der the direction of the church deacon,. Mr. B. Thomas. He taught many new' stunts in handling the glasses, his ex-- perience being gotten from working at one of our well-known gardens last sum- mer. liVe want to thank the teachers and pupils present who helped to make it a success. The class officers for the year' were: Ross Baker, Presidentg Louise Webb, Vice President: Paull Shields, Treasurer, and Mabel Jones, Secretary, who worked together splenclidly. The last half year was one of the best ever we had in school. After thinking that we knew something in Chemistry, which Miss Morton by special effort. worked into our heads, we tried to ,mix many substances. Many a Monday or Thursday Qlab. daysj, we heard from the whole school, but we could not smell any- thing and could not understand why they were complaining. The officers for the last term are 'Wallace Mclntire, Presi- dent: Harriet VVesche, Vice Presidentg Dorothy VVeedon, Secretary and Harold Jensen, Treasurer: Marie Kelly, Assist- ant Treasurer. Jensen not finding much money in our pockets, advised many to work. Baker taking the hint, obtained a position at Adams Express Co. as Gen- eral Delivery. After a short time he was advanced to General Nuisance. We all had our graduation pictures taken and it is reported that only ten lenses were broken. VVe will let you pick out the lense-breakers! Two of our members, Morris Rogers and Edward jaspers, have passed away. Morris died while serving his country and Edward died at his home in the sumf mer of 1916. Other members who have entered into the U. S. Service are Elizabeth Madeira, Louis Wahl, Elwood Bassford, Robert Crosset, james Holden, Dudley Robinson and Peter Ibold. We feel that with the above, the June Class of '18 is well represented in the service of our country and know that others are ready. The girls cannot be forgotten for they have turned out much
