Our Florence Nightingale was Annie Woodhams. During the flu epidemic she was especially busy handing out pills and taking students home at all hours of the day. But no matter how busy she was, she was always ready to give advice. Every day when our stomachs and the clock told us it was time to eat. the cooks had a delicious nutritious meal ready for us. The custodians were the men behind the scenes who were working morning, noon, and night to keep our school spotlessly clean. Annie Woodhams relaxed for a moment between trips from Central to Eastside. Eddie Miller and Eldon Yoder checked the gauges of the heating system. Mrs. Rice.

Yes. we were seniors, many ol us with records of excellence in the varied facets of school life and activities. Our high school days are now completed: we face the responsibilities of life and will be able to conquer its problems because of having been students in N.H.S.
