HIISTCRY Class of U47 Green freshmen? Not us! The class of 'I47 has never been bashfulgin factgwe enter- ed N.H.S. in the fall of 19113 with a blare of trumpets announcing our very important arrival. We elected our class officers: Joe Dichtl, presidentg Don Dagenais, vice president 3 Norma Heather, secretary-trea- surerg and under their leadership we turn- ed the gym into a big top for Carnival, the first of the series of successful par- ties we sponsored during our high school career. We proved our importance in oth- er school activities by such things as sending representatives to the constitu- tional committee for the newly-formed stu- dent council, and by participating in aJ.1 the major sports. Our social skill was further proved by our second party, for which there were no decorations Cto con- serve paper for the war effortl, but that didn't detract from the fun. Before we knew it we had entered our sophomore year with our good friend, Miss Scroggie, as our English teacher for the second time. After the candidates had com- pleted their campaigns ,and their followers had stuffed the ballot boxes ,we were happy to receive the good news that Chuck Russell was chief executive, Bill Kupke was vice- president, and Bev Zaininger was our stat- istician-matlmmtkxian. These officers were a. great help in guiding us through our sec- ond year in the 'house of blue lights! Our first party that year surely was a laugh for it was the Smiles party. Here was a masterpiece of ingenuity! The walls of the gym were covered with cartoons ,car- toons ,millions of cartoons ,and all through the evening the halls of N.H.S. rang with the laughter of merry children! As time and records will show,the main interest of the class of 'I47 has always been :Ln having a salubrious time. Another cause for de- light that year was our boys' winning the Frosh-Soph basketball title. Upperclassmen at last! This year found us in a. new activity that was being insti- tuted here at N.H.S.x the homeccmingg and we pitched right in to make it a worth- while affair!! With the Prom as our goal, we all sold tickets industriously for our class play and set a new junior play rec- Ordo
