R 6 ,. 0-9 N , 1 Q: H v , N 1 Hisfory of The Class of '54 Extra! Extra! Read all about it! T. V. Bancroft lands principal's position at NVHS in 1936 as little Vllildcats appear across the nation .... Extra! Extra! At last the day arrived when these NVildcats descended upon the halls of XVesterville High School, and little did anyone know what was ahead. The seventh grade started with a bang for future Mid-Six champions, Eddie Billrnan and Mike Hanley, who were playing hard with Tillie's Kittens. jo-Ann Holtsberry and Edna Staley cut off the cherished pigtails to create a more mature appearance while Dennis O'Keefe was playing Rudolph Valentino with all of the females and presenting his picture to all of the little lovelies. Another romance was in bloom with Wendel Miesse writing very emotional love notes to Helen O'De1l, who kept each one in a shoe box which she hid underneath her bed. Paul McIntosh seemed to have caused quite an uproar in English class by displaying his talent with the yo-yo. The Minerva Park Cats with their gang leader, Sandra Haag, came to join us in the eighth grade. They brought Glenda Berg- man, whom we discovered played the piano. very well. Miss Harley was quite disturbed, for Dean Hard insisted on bringing forth his best talents in homeroom to entertain Lillian Howard by telling his best censored jokes. In the halls Joan Smith and Nancy Tepper were running quickly to hide, for Walter Shelley just loved to hit and strangle these girls. The ninth grade brought many grown-up touches to our classes. Our newly elected cheerleaders were Gayle Davie, Rowlanda Lint- ner, Zoe Bargdill, and Marilyn Rose. Nancy Whipp and Shirley Gallogly had at last become part of the Senior Band-with all of those upper classmen. Margie Nutt and Gayle Davie were quite often seen taking the very long way home so that they could pass the fraternity houses. Great discussions were held in General Science class. It seems that Roger Bell had discovered a new species of bird unknown to mankind. Josephine Madden, Shirley McC1ary, and Marian Miller could never get into homeroom on time, and Verda Ramey spent quite a bit of time with Mr. O'Conne1l after school, New wildcats came on the scene as we entered the sophomore year. Frank Brill embarrassed quite a few people in Latin class with his loud talking. You see, he had not yet learned to whisper. Don Streets and Bill Skaates were working hard on their track records, and Don longshot Yantis 'helped the golf men to win the second Mid-Six trophy. jim Singer contracted a serious allergy to- ward girlsg and Dick Close, Dave Hall, Paul McDannald, and Bob Wren perfected a great disappearing act during the rush for Holly Prom dates. At our first class party we thrilled to the music of Norma Robbins and her accordian. Suzie Rhodes held the honor of being the attendant to the Sweetest Girl, Jackie Cooper. 23
