Senior History Four years ago, on a bright September day, two hun¬ dred forty timid freshmen assembled in the gym to hear Father Junk explain the pattern of life at Noll. We were especially proud to be the first freshmen to study in the new building. A month later, on October 5, we were present at the formal dedication of our High School by His Excellency, John Francis Noll, in whose honor the school is named. Our first year was a very pleasant one; we made new friends, attended the football and basketball games, the school dances, and enjoyed the amateur shows. In the fall of 1948 we had risen to the position of soph¬ omores; we were greatly relieved not to be called “greenies.” Several new clubs were organized that year: the Student Council was formed in order to insure democratic spirit in the school; the Prop and Publicity and the Pep Clubs also made their debut. We carried on a magazine drive which was remarkably successful. As juniors we were the fortunate students in charge of the WARRIOR; we also initiated the daily broadcast of the Senior Officers Left to right: H. Such, C. Orr, C. Klein, E. O’Keefe, E. Jar- makowicz, (Pres.); R. Gauthier, J. Vargo, B. Schneider. Valedictorian Dunn, Ralph Francis 1951 Salutatorian Walsh, Cornelia Jane 14

Senior History [cont ' d] WARRIOR NEWS. Our Junior Prom with its theme, “Trop¬ ical Illusion” spread a pleasant glow over the last few weeks of school. September, 1950, was not only the Year of Jubilee in the Church but it also marked the beginning of the year of jubilee for our class. Successful football and basketball sea¬ sons produced “Speechless” days, sprained ankles, but happy hearts. The Choral Club took the limelight for its production of the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, H. M. S. PINAFORE. It had the distinction of being presented in the Whiting Com¬ munity Center. The Dramatic Club presented its first play, “Best Foot Forward” with leads from the senior class. Then came the all-senior cast in “Mother was a Freshman.” Radio broadcasts in Gary and Hammond, K. of C. ora¬ torical contests, Girls’ Conference Day, field trips to Stand¬ ard Oil Refinery and the Museum of Science and Industry, the Girls’ tea at St. Mary’s College, South Bend—these filled our hours with happiness. With the inspiring May Coronation and the commence¬ ment week we have covered some yardage on the trail of life. Reluctantly we say “goodbye” to Noll, but we accept the challenge to exercise the virtues and use the knowledge we have acquired. May the memory of these closing days of consecration keep us true to the ideals presented to us by our Principal and Faculty.
