SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the Fall of '46, fifty bewildered freshmen wandered through the halls of NTHS. The locker combinations, numbered roons, and strange faces were a complicated puzzle to us. After learning our way around, we had our first class meeting and elected the following officers: President, Bob Covang Vice-President, Darlene Buhrnesterg Secretary- Treasurer, Jean Fanningg Student Council members, Dorothy Hill and Betty Matson. Our class sponsors were Miss Beverly Alderson and R. C. Tursbaugh. Donna Fritch served as cheerleader. Her friendly spirit made us proud of her. We chose Jean Fanning and Lucille Stebbins as our Homecoming queen candidates. Since we were only freshmen and not too well known, we were astonished and thrilled when Jean becare queen. We survived the first trying year and we were looking forward to the next three years. In September of '47, having lost our previous shyness, we returned to school after a splendid vacation.

A new member of our class, Edith Ramsey, became cheerleader. Her grand school spirit and winning smile were an inspiration to both teams and spectators alike, Under the able assistance of our class sponsors, Miss Ann Dittlinger and Mr. William Handles, we sponsored the Homecoming Dance. Our queen candidates were Edith Ramsey and Marylin Nichols. This year the juniors revived the Homecoming parade. The gaiety and enthusiasm over the parade helped,to make Homecoming more successful.
